The News. At Charlestown, Va., yesterday, the argumont on the motion for an arrest of judgment in the case of Ossawatomie Brown was con- cluded, and the Court will render a deci- fion on the point to-day. Coppee was placed on trial, but nothiog new in the way of testimony was brought out. The prosecution had not ex amined all their witnesses when the court adjourn- ed. Cook waived an examination before the magis- trate’s court, and will probably take his trial iu due course. Wendell Phillips, the notorious Boston aboli- tionist, lectured at Brooklyn, in Beecher’s church, Jast evening, his subject being “Lessons for the Hour.” His address from beginning to end was a glowing eulogy on Old Brown, fully justifyiag his course in Kaneas and at Harper's Ferry. We give s report of this delectable oratorical effort in to- | day's paper. We also publish to-day a very interesting letter from Peterboro’, the home of Gerrit Smith. From this account it appears that Mr. Smith has become alarmed at the receut revelations proving his guilty complicity in the violence and bloodshed at | Barper’s Ferry, and that he is nervously anxious Yeapecting the possibility of his apprehension to answer therefor before the legal tribunals. His | neighbors evince the highest respect for him per- | sonally, and are prepared, if necessary, to resist his | arrest to the last extremity. The contractors of the Brooklyn Water Works | suspended the operation of the pumps at Ridge- wood Reservoir yesterday, in consequence of the | differences existing between the Commissioners | and the city authorities. There is still sufficient water in the basin to supply the city for some ten | gays to come. | The Arago, from Southampton on the 19th ult., | reached this port yesterday, after we had received | our files by the Nova Scotian from Quebec. Tho | papets are to the 19th, and contain an inte- | resting confirmation of the statement that Mia- ister Ward had had a courteous reception in Pekin, having journeyed from a branch of the Peiho in an “agreeable manner.” ‘Bhe great move- ment towards holding a European Congress on Tralian affairs was in progress. England insists plainly on unqualified independence for Central Italy. The family and political relations of M. Binda, late United States Consul at Leghorn, are alluded to in a letter, which we publish. TheGreat Eastern was still under survey of the Board of Trade, and the rumors as to her departure during the winter were conflicting—a letter in the London Post asserts that she will start very soon. Prince Napoleon had inspected her, and breakfaated with Captain Harrison. The steamship Jason, from Galway via St. Johns, N.F., arrived at this port about one o'clock this morning. : Our correspondent in Havana, writing on tho 26th of October, says:—‘‘ The weather is very fa- vorable for the planters, and the next crop wil probably be a large one. The Maretzek company open to-nightat the Tacon, in ‘Il Barbiere,’ with Gagsier as Rosina.” Professor Mitchell gave the third of a series of astronomical lectures last evening, to a nume- Tous and refined audience at Cooper Institute. The subject was the “Organization of the Systems of Jupiter and Saturn,” and the Professor treated it With his usual eloquence and erudition. The next and last lecture of this series will be given on Fri- day evening, the subject being the “Discovery of New Planets.” The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday after- noon and transacted considerable routine business. A communication from one of the Coroners asking for the dismissal of Dr. Frank Thorne, for imperti- nence and other offensive conduct, was received. The regular weekly statement was likewise receiv- ed, and showed @ decrease of 73 from the week pre- vious in the inmates of the institutions under the control of the Governors. From an account received yesterday morning from the wrecked steamer New World, it appeara that no material change had taken place in her sit- uation. The boom derrick was towed down to this city yesterday, having on board the boilers, walking beam and other portions of machinery recovered from the wreck. Two small steamboats and seve- ral small craft were engaged in saving the cargo as it floats out at ebb tide. In a day or two the whole of the cargo will have been recovered. The der- Tick returned at flood tide. An excorsion train of thirteen cars, bound from Fond du Lac for Chicago, ran off the trask of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad yesterday forenoon, at Johnson creek, eight miles south of ‘Whitestown, Wisconsin. Eight persons are report- ed killed, and a number badly wounded. So far as Ascertained, all of the wounded were residents of Fond du Lac. There wos an enthusiastic rally of the democracy at Tammany Hall last evening, to ratify the nomina- tions for State and other officers. James T, Brady presided at the meeting, his first appearance at the Old Wigwam for several years. The principal Speech of the evening waa made by Daniel 8. Dick- inson. A full report is given elsewhere in to-day’s paper. The steamboat Traveller, while on her way through the Bound on Monday night, and when off Throge’s Neck, came in collision with an unknown Schooner, and received such severe damage that Fhe was nnable to proceed.

Gur November Election—The Three Par- ties, and the Two Great Issuce Before the People. We are within @ week of our annual State election. Under ordinary circumstances the results, beyond the boundaries of the State, and even within the State, would be regarded with comparative indifference, inasmuch as oaly local, executive and judicial officers and legis- lators are involved in the election. But, in view of the excitement raised by “old Brown,” and considering the peculiar embarrassments of each of the contesting parties in this contest, tho commitment of the republican party to the Presidential platform and pretensions of Sew- ard, the recent collapse of the American party, { and the demoralized condition of the democratic * party, this local election, within and without } the State, has assumed something of the iate- + rest of a sharply contested and doubtful Presi- dential battle. It is very probable, too, that the general re- sult of this State election willdo more to shape the party organizations and issues of tho ap- proaching Presidential election than all the local elections of the last twelve months, North and South, put together. There are three par- ties in the field—the republican party, polling a popular vote last year of 247,000; the demo- cratic party, with a vote at the same election of 230,000, and the rump of the American party, which, last November, had dwindled to 60,000 votes. This party, however, may now | be considered as disbanded or transformed into the half and half or mixed State ticket par- ty, as between the two other parties. The precise object of this compromise ticket, or half the republican and half tbe democratic State ticket, is to show to both these parties that there is a balance of power stand- ing between them capable of spoiling the cal- culations of both, in all eases where the claims and demands of this balance of power are not sufficiently respected. We apprehend, too, that unless Scroggs, Ull- man, Brooks, and their confreres of the late so called American Utica Convention, were ‘the last of the Mohicans,” this mixed ticket of theirs will be elected by a very decent plurality. In addition to the American vote of last year, of 60,000, there were 30,000 of the party in reserve, allowing that the 30,000 votes gained by the democracy were drawn from the American camp. Thus it would ap- pear that the still available American force, for the independent purposes of this mixed State ticket, is 90,000 men. Then, again, as compared | with the vote of the State for Fremont, there were some 35,000 republicans missing in the call of the roll for Morgan last November, and | perhaps 25,000 of these men were then in the way of repentance and a change of life, and only holding back for an opportunity to ad- minister a wholesome rebuke to Seward as the apostle of the republican party, and to the de- mocratic rogues and rowdies of the Albany Regency and Tammany Hall. n Here, then, we have in the loose and dormant iaterials of last November a reserved force, for the purposes of this year’s indepen- dent mixed State ticket, of nearly 120,000 men. With this vote, solidly bestowed for the independent mixed ticket, the rejected half of the republican candidates for the State offices to be filled and the rejected democratic candidates may be defeated by from a hundred to a hundred and twenty thousand plurality against them. Andthe great achievement of this result would be a practical manifestation of our independent popular vote in this State, capable of spoiling the plans and calculations of both the sectionalized republi- can and demoralized democratic parties, as they now stand, simply by knocking their heads to- ether. B Such a result is eminently desirable. Tho corruptions, treacheries and rascalities of the democratic Albany Regency, and the revolting rowdy tactics and instruments of Tammany Hall, have rendered the New York democracy a common byword of reproach throughout the Union. Hence the defeat by a heavy vote of this corrupted and demoralized party would be a good thing. So with the republican party. Its success in this election will comprehend the virtual endorsement of Wm. H. Seward and “Old John Brown;” but the defeat of even half the republican State ticket by an independent conservative balance of power ef say one hun- dred thousand men would be equivalent to the rejection of Seward as a Northern anti-slavery aspirant for the Presidency, and the repudiation of his platform of an incessant agitation of the slavery question till all the States shall be made free States or slave States. These, then, are the two great questions be- fore the people of New York:—First, will they endorse the annointed chief of our republican party, Wm. H. Seward, and his bloody sectional programme of agita- tion, insurrection, disunion and civil war? and, second, shall the Albany corruptions and the debasing New York city rowdy elements of the democratic party of this State be perpetuated and invited again to rule over us? These ques- fons may both be answered satisfactorily by the general rally of the hundred and twenty thousand scattering and reserved votes of the State, for the independent mixed State ticket of he Utica Convention. The result of such a movement, if made, will indeed be the signal for a great political revolution and reconstruc- tion of parties throughout the country, upon the broad principles of peace and union be. tween the North and the South, and the sup- pression of the slavery agitation. Let the peo- ple of the Empire State lead the way in this direction, and all will be well. Otherwise, the general issue of this election may place us on the high road to Mr. Seward’s “sectional con- ficv” and Mr. Barnwell Rhett’s Southern confe- Sica wboat Elm City took her in tow, and brougut ' deracy. Geeerr Sara ayp Tue Hanrvsr’s Fenny Coxsrmacy—SévenaL Ruvupiian Leapans Mork Dewriy Imetiocaten,—We publish to-day a remarkable and highly interesting letter from our special correspondent at Peterboro, that quict lite village in Madison county, the patriarch whereof is Gerrit Smith, the most amiable and obaritable of abolition fanatics, who has disbarsed a fortune ia doing all kinds of wiscbief, under the unfortunate delusion that be was doing good, and whose complicity with the Harper’s Ferry rebellion has become notorious Our correapondent found Peter- boro’ in fever of excitement about the Har- per’s Ferry wifuir and Mr, Smith’s vouneotion with it. The possibility of his arrest for treason is louked upon there as certain to create an ontbreak, for the good folks of the village vebemently assert that he shall not be taken from among them to be delivered up to the vengeance of Governor Wise, As to Mr. Smith himself, he is represented as greatly alarmed at his position, with uneasy manner und bloodshot eyes awaitiag the re- sult, He refused to speak with our correspon- deut on the matter, repeatedly saying —* I am to be indicted, sir; 1am to be indicted, and I cdn't speak a word about the business,” But it eppears that Mr. Smith is really anxious to make a clean breast of it by a pub- lic statement of the whole affair, only that his prudent friends have sealed his mouth, because they say his disclosures would show many others more deeply implicated in the couspiracy than himeelf. Who are they? Is W. H. Sew- ard one of them? What are the facts gleaned by our correspondent as to the couneciioa be- tween “Old Brown” and Gerrit Smith ? It seems that last spring Brown speut some time on a visit with Mr. Smith, and while there was repeatedly called upon by several leading republicans of this State, and the infereuce is that during that visit, aud at those interviews, the Harper's Ferry rebellion was the subject of discussion, During the previous spring a very leading republican of the State—its Senator and ex- Governor—W. H. Soward, made a speech at Rochester, declaring the existence of slavery and freedom incompatible under the samo government “Old Brown” attempted to carry that sentiment into praciice at Harper’s Ferry. W. H. Seward predicted an “ irrepressible con- flict” between the two forces of the North and South; and ‘Old Brown” began the conflict with guns and pikss at Harper’s Ferry. At Rochester and Peterboro, and other republican strongbolds throughout the North, East aud West, this conspiracy seems to have been hatched, which the premature action of poor Brown defeated. It is evident that Gerrit Smith is fully aware of his complicity with the treason, and perhaps would chivalrously avow his share of the respon- sibility if he were not silenced by the certain knowledge that his disclosure would involve others more criminal thao himself. It remains to be seen whether the Governor of Virginia will issue a requisition to Governor Morgan for the body of Mr. Smith and all others concerned in this conspiracy ugainst whom any proof may be obtained, If “Old Brown,” the tool, is to sulfer, Wuut pbould be dane with those men who concocted the scheme, and hounded on poor Brown and the other victims into a rebel- lion against the government, and the certain tate which now awaits them? Assessep Vatvation or New Yorx.—Our State Legislature passed a law last winter creating a Board of State Assessors, whose duty it was to re-assess the real estate of the various counties. The State tax used to be computed on the valuations made by the respective Boards of Supervisors ; but it was found that in very many instances these valuations were considerably lower than they should be, and consequently the counties in which that was the case paid less than their fair proportion of the general tax. It was to remedy that con- dition of things that the law creating a Board of State Assessors was passed. That body made a report recently, in which the frauds thus committed are pointed out. In some coun- ties the assessed valuation has been reduced, but in the majority of them it has been in- creased. In the county of Columbia, for in- stance, tax was paid on less than ten millions of property ($9,999,970), whereas the valua- tion is now fixed by the State Assessors at over thirteen and a half millions ($13,665,430). In Dutchess county the difference is about two millions, in Erie three and ahalf, andin Oneida over eight and a half millions, It was princi- pally in relation to this latter county that the necessity for the law made itself most obvious. The assessed valuation was only $13,721,283. The State Assessors fixed it at $22,496,522. This shows that it was full time to stop. this sort of cheating. There was but a comparatively trifling in- crease in the figures for New York county. That is, the sum was increased from $368,373,- 948 to $370,054,782, This is independent of personal property, which is valued at nearly one-half as much as the real estate. We see by & communication received by the Board of Su- pervisors on Monday evening, from the State Comptroller, that the aggregate valuation of real and personal estate in this county is now fixed at $532,903,476, on which the sum of $1,332,258 is to be paid asa State tax. This is at the rate of two and a half mills on the dol- lar—one-fourth of one per cent—and is con- siderably over one-third of the amount raised on the taxation of the entire State. When it is recollected that, in addition to this, the people of this city have to pay ten or twelve millions for the support of their municipal government, besides the revenue which their commerce contributes to the foderal treasury, it will be admitted that they are pretty well taxed. It would be less matter if the State and city were at the same time well governed. No Innepressisie Conriictin Invixo Puscr.— Mr. Napoleon Ullman, the general-in-chief of the operatic forces at the Academy of Music, writes usa letter, which we print elsewhere, saying amongst other things that there bas been no diffieulty between Field Marshal Strakosch and himeelf; thet they are ina state of amity and brotherly love which always exists in story hooks and among opera managors, The ramor that there had been discords in the councils of Irving place originated with those trouble- some and impertinent fellows, the “three hun- gry I'renchmen,” to whom the little Napoleon pays his most peppery regaraa inthe bulletin we print to-day, and which every one who has a tasle for controversial literature will not fail toreud; alto to go and hear Beaucarde, Ull- man’s new tenor, who sings to-night for the firet time in America, The Operais looking up. Srorraax or Warer Turwatenen iv Buoox- Lyn.—One of the greatest calamities that could bappen any olty—the stoppage of its supply of water—is now threatened to Brooklyn. Owing to the action of the Common Council of that city on Monday evening, Welles & Co., the oon- tractors, stopped the pumping maochinery of the waterworks yesterday morning, after it had been running three days, in consequence of Judge Lott’s decision, and it appears that there is only sufficient water in the reservoir to last for eight days, at the end of which time, unless some arrangement is made to continue the sup- ply, the city will be left without water. The facts of the case are briefly as follows:— The Comptroller, under the advice of the Com- mon Council, refused some weeks since to pay the water bonds issued to the contractors for continuing the work on the conduit, and for pumping tho water into the resefvoir. Mutual jealousy and distrust had existed fora long time between the Common Council and the Water Commissioners—the latter being men selected Independently of politics. The object of the Common Council was to get the work out of the hands of the Water Commissioners, and take the disposal of contracts into their own hands. Judge Lott, on the application of the Commissioners, issued a peremp- tory mandamus, directing the Comptroller to pay the bonds. Accordingly the work and the pumping into the reservoir, which had been suspended, were proceeded with by the con- tractors. But from the proceedings of the Common Council on Monday evening it ap- pears that a communication was received from the Comptroller, stating that he had, under the advice of counsel, deemed it his duty to appeal from the decision of Judge Lott, and had tuken the necessary preliminary steps to that end— a course no doubt suggested by those who con- trol the mejority in the Coporation. The con- sequence is that the contractors have again suspended their operations, and in the course ofa week Brooklyn will be left without that prime necessity of life, a supply of water. Deservedly great were the rejoicings of the Brooklynites on the inauguration of the Ridge- wood water. But very soon their jubilation is likely to be turned into sorrow and dismay. Bo- fore the recent introduction of the pipe water the city was imperfectly supplied by means of public pumps. But since that happy event the pumps have been allowed to go out of order, and if the pipe water were now stopped, thou- sands would be left without water from any source, or the means of procuring it. Thus it is that the public interests are made subservient to the greedy harpies who fatten on the public money. The plunder and rascality, the schemes of corrupt politicians to put their fin- gers into the people’s treasury, which have ren- dered the Common Council of New York fer many years notorious, have been faithfully co- pied beyond the East river. and the corporation and officials of “the City of Churches” bid fair to rival their corporate brothers of this city in ac- cumulating taxation mountains high, for the purpose of making ample provision for them- selves while in office. Their maxim is to “make hay while the sun shines,” and when the storm comes WHICK drives them vut of office, thoy can laugh in their sleeves at the martyr- dom which they suffer for their political princi- ples. Indeed, so reckless and shameless have they become, that they openly sacrifice the inte- rests and convenience of the citizens at large to their own private arrangements. A public indignation meeting ought to be held to do- nounce such rascality, and to teach these faith- less servants that they cannot always carry on their schemes with impunity. A Broapway Ratixoap Scueme iv Disevise.— A recolution was offered in the Board of Coun- cilmen on Monday evening, and referred to a special committee, directing the Street Com- missioner to advertise for proposals to widen the carriageway of Broadway, from St. Paul’s church to Union square, by adding to it four fect in width, to be taken from the sidewalks. Any one can see at a glance that this is but a preliminary move in the direction of the Broad- way railroad. The great argument hitherto against letting out our beautiful thoroughfare to a horde of railroad speculators has been that the carriageway is too narrow to admit of the use of a double track without driving all other vehicles off the street. It is the de- sign now to weaken the force of that objection by increasing the width of the carriageway at the expence of the sidewalks. If bribery and corruption can avail anything in forwarding this yillanous scheme, it may be set down as a fixed fact that the proposition will be pressed with all the pertinacity which distinguishes lobby operations, as well in the City Hall as in Albany and Washington. A grant of a railroad in Broadway would be worth millions of dollars; and those who are looking for the charter can well afford to lavish a few paltry thousands in securing the preliminary advantage contemplated by this resolution But the fact is that the diminishing the width of the sidewalk to the extent of two feet on each side would be more injurious to Broadway than even the run- ning of a railroad through it. Asit is, the sidewalks are all too narrow for the free circu- lation of pedestrians, and if they could be still more widened and all obstructions cleared off them, it would be so much the better. The four city railroads that have their down- town termini at the Astor House might, how- ever, be permitted to establish, and operate at their joint expense, branch lines from that point to South ferry, Fulton ferry, and Court- lanat street ferry, adopting the system of trans- fer tickets. In this way the city railroads would secure all the traffic from the cities on the op- posite shores, and four-fifths of the stages that now run in Broadway would be abolished. Then we would have no need for a Broadway railroad or for widening the carriageway at the expense of the sidewalks. At all events such a piece of vandalism can never be tole- rated. Tiery Muon Axnvai Estimates.—Wash- ington despatches represent the various heads of departments as curtailing thefr annual esti- mates ¢o as to keep the aggregate expenses for the next fiscel year within fifty millions of dol- lars. This ie done in obedience to a resolution adopted during the leet session of Congress, it may be easy enough to keep down the esti- mates fo the prescribed figure; but when the appropriation bills come to be acted on by Congress, twenty or thirty millions more will he added on, in the shape of French spoliation bills, Indian war debts, public printing, and other schemes for deplotimg the national Tres- eury. With all the spoilemem in both houses and the lobby, there is very litske prospect of being able to keep down the apprepriations for the next foal year to lees than seventy or eighty millions. Sewarv’s Organ Sympatuises writ Onp Browny.——In the short article which we publish in another column, from the Albany Journal, it will be seen that Thurlow Weed, without ven- turing to justify the insurrection of “Old Brown” at Harper’s Ferry, of which his leader, Seward, was cegnizant more than a year ago, warmly sympathises with its hero. He speaks of Brown’s demeanor on trial as evincing the spirit of the patriot Robert Emmet, when defy- ing his judges in tho dock, as if there could be any analogy between the case ef Emmet, who attempted to free his country from a foreign yoke, and that of “Old Brown,” who conspired to overthrow a lawful government, and inoite one olass to murder and despoil another. Like other republican journalists, Master Weed shrinks from defending Brown; but that Seward’s organ should sympathise warmly with him is quite natural under the ciroum- stances, —_—_—_—_ NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, The Treaty Betweon Spain and Mexico The Marder of Chase at Topic—Our Negotiations with tne Juares Govern- ment, &c., &e. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasiuxato, Nov. 1, 1850, Additional informa ton bas been received here, confirm- ing my despatch of the 27th ult., of the negotiation of a treaty and the establishment of amicable relations be- tween the government of Spain and the Miramon govern- ment in Mexico, The State Department has received despatches from Consul Black, of Mexico, relating to the murder of Mr. Osmond Chase, an American citizen, at Tepic, by order of General Marquez. Tho statement, it is said, corresponds mainly with what was published in the Hxraup. Despatches from Vera Cruzsay that tho Juarez govern. ment awaits the return of our Mivister, Mr. McLane, to complete the negotiations of the treaty with the United States. Mr. McLane having opened tho negotiation, Presi- deut Juarez, out of respect to the Minister, was not dis- posed to transfer the matter to Washington. It is be- lieved the treaty will be made acceptable to our govern- ment. ‘The deepatcbes speak in the most confident manner of the success of the constitutional party. ‘THE GESKRAL NEWSPAPER DESPATOH. ‘Wasuinctoy, Nov. 1, 1859. Official information from Mexico to the 22d ult. says that the Juarez government is waiting for tho return of Minister McLane to renew treaty negotiations. As this gentleman commenced them at Vera Cruz, it is considered that it would be disrespectful to him to transfer the pro- ceedings to Washington. Gen. Robles has asked an interview with Col. Espejo, in command of the Liberal forces several leagues from Cor- dova, wishing tomake some friendly arrangement with bim. The latter had 2,300 men and twelve battories to advance on Tebuacan. There is every probability that city will be taken, in which event ho will soon havea united force of 4,000 men to march on Orifhba and Cor- dova. ‘The satisfactory manner in which the people have re- ceived the intelligence of the removal of Vidaurri from the command of the army of Northorn Mexico is regarded as an evidence af their moral strength, his actions not be- ing considered in accordance with constitutional liberty. Miramon’s troops in the city of Mexico were acting purely on the defensive, fearful to leave it, even. though they had the means to carry on aggressive operations elsewhere. ‘The intercepted correspondence of Marquez shows that ufter the battlo of Leon, Gen. Woll wrote to Miramon for reinforcements. Marquez was accordingly directed to send him 1,500 men and two ba teries, when the latter replied, stating his utter inability to do so, and threatening to re- sign his command if Miramon insisted on his orders. Capt. Meigs, of the corps of Engincers, has been ro- Neved from the superintendence of the capital and Post office extensions, and Captain Franklin, of the corps of Topographical Engineers, assigned to the charge of the works. He has recently served as Secretary of the Light House Board, and {s considered an ablo officer. It is ascertained from a reliable source that such ar- ragements are in progress as to admit of Uttle, if any, doubt of tho early reopening of the Tehwantepec route, Minister McLane wil! leave in the steamer Brooklyn, on the Sth mstant, direct for Vera Cruz. Although it is be- Heved that Senor Lerdo will be invited to return with him, the arrangement has not yet been made. Tho State Department has recelved from Consul Black an authentic acconat of the circumstances attonding the murder of Ormond Chase by the orders of the church party. Six different bids were received to-day at the Post Office Department for carrying the mail between Portland and New Orleans. The Postmaster General firmly adheres to his determination to make but one contract, holding tho party who may receive it responsible for the performance of the entire service.

Besides a Comptroller of the Treasury, members of the Legislaturo, and the usual county officers, six members of Congress aro to be chosom, which will complete the House of Representatives with the exception of the four Louisiana members. Outside of Bal- ‘imore the canvass does not seem to have created much sensation, but atthe home of the shoulder-hitters and “eplood tubs” every preparation seems to havo beem made on all sides for a pretty general row. The democrats and reformers charge the opposition with countenancing and eupporting a regular band of rowdios well organized for the purpose of taking possestion of the polls and driv- ing off all who do not come up with a Know Nothing or striped-back ticket in their hands, while the American party profess to have information that the reformers are importing voters from the District of Columbia, and also that thoy have a body of 800 fighting men, divided into bands of fifteen each, fully armed and officered, to be used im seizing upon the Twentieth ward polls carly {n the morning, and to exclude all Amoricans from voting. If there is & shadow of truth about any of these reports we expoob bloody work in Baltimore to-day, sch f Charge of Embezzling from the Office. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Before Hon. Judge Ingersoll. Nov. 1.—The United States ve. Adolph & Jacob New.—The defendants in this ease are charged with receiving proper. ty Known io have been stoion from the New York Post Office; they aro also, in connection with ono Stern, charge@ with embezaling property from the Post Office. It appeare that about cighteen months ago a registered letter was mailed at Frankfort, Europe, via Bromon, to ono Louis Steine, of New York, which contained coupons, rable at the rallrosd agencies boro, ‘This loiter was vor called for by Steine, but ita arrival becoming known to Stern, ha went to the Post Offee, and by the agency of the defend- ante, to wi be nted himself as the owner of the coupons, he obtained a draft for $750 for one set of cou- pons, but the other set having been bonded by the rail- Trond company, wore not paid, owing to somo informality n relation thereto, Tho draft taken by Stern from the trustecs or agent of the rallroad, was paid through the bunk where the defendants on ‘this indictment kept am. account; hence they were charged both for receiving they property knowing it to bo stolen, and as accessories aftors the fact of embezzlement. Steine noted the railroad agents of his los, when it so happened that in their offlae was found the identical lower in which the coupons had! been enclosed, and this, together with the drafts recoived by Stern, having boen negotiated through the bank of to dcfendants, New, led to the detection of all the parties, Ex. Judge Whiting, on part of the agoused, presented ob- Jectione. “He contended that the principal offender not having been arrested these defendants could not be tried, After argument betweon Whiting and Mr. Dwight, for the government, the§Court suggested that a juror be wish+ drawn, as the indi¢tment could not be sustalaed. ‘The District Ainecay was willing to take this course, but the counsel for the defendants declined until the other side would consent, that in caso it should be doomed m0- cesaary to find other Indictments a commissian Al issue to California to lake tho evidence of a witness for tee defendants, New. ‘The Judgo suid ho eaw no use in going on with either of iho todietments. Mr. Whiting said—TIf the District Attorney would consent ol pros in the other case he would consent to a juror withovawn in (his case provided. that if anoWaer ite nnd @ Commission should iAsUe, Bion Ubi Was agreed to.
