It is satisfactory to observe that Congress has some nonae of docency left, and that the proposed tariff bill da the Honate, as well as the proposed Sherman finance Dill in the House, have been amended by striking out their most objectionable features, each section of Congress thus correcting, to some extent, the faults of the other, In tho Senate the clause of the turiff bill increasing the dutiable value of imported merchandise, by ad¢ing the cost of freight, brokerage, packing and other charcs, was stricken out, and in the House the odious proposition in Mr, Sherman's bill to curtail the opuion of converting seven-thirty notes into fivetwenty bonds was likewise stricken out.

A fow days since detectives Golden and Farley arrested four mon on suspicion of being concerned in breaking into and robbing a bonded warehouse on the Cunard pier, Jersey City, and also for forcing an entrance to the bonded warehouse No, 324 Creenwich street, Justice Hogan committed the prisoners to the Tombs, but they were subsoquently taken before Judge McCann on a writ of liabeas corpus, and after a hearing discharged. Two of the men were immediately rearrested and taken to Queens coanty to answer an indictment which had been found against them. Detectives Golden and Farley per- sevored in the matter, and subsequently arrested James ‘Thomas, alias Sheridan, and Rew, Seott, living respective. ly at Nos, 28 Scammet and 10624 Cherry streets.

Further Discussion with Respect to the Al- Yeged Agreement Made by the Treasury Department with the Prisoner, Another Case—Charge Against Richard Weekes. Dizperiences “Among the Boys" of a Treasury Detective. &e. &e. &e, United States Commissioners’ Oftice. Before Commissioner Osborn. The further hearing of the case of Henry Holmes, alias Hall, who is charged with having had in his pos- session a one hundred dollar counterfeit three year com- pound interest Treasury note, with intent to utter the same, and also with counterfeiting plates of National ‘Treasury notes, was resumed yesterday morning. Mr. Samuel G. Courtney, United States District Attor- poy, and Mr. Ethaa Allen, United States Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, conducted the prosecution on the part of the government, and Mr. Chatfleld and ex-Judge Stuart defended the prisoner. ‘THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT AGAIN, Somo conversation having taken place between coun- so] as to whother Mr, Jordan, Solicitor of tho Treasury, was in attendance, Mr. Courtney said the learned gen- teman, Mr. Chatfield, bad yesterday made a some- what astounding statement that the Solicitor of the Treasury had entered into an arrangement with the pris- oner at the bar that he should not be prosecuted for the commission of the offence charged against him, and counsel desired that Mr, Jordan should be hore as a wit- ness to prove that state of facts, and stated that Mr. Wood had telegraphod to him to come. He (Mr. Courtney) told counsel that he would do ail he could to secure Mr. Jordan’s attendance, but he did not make any promise, directly, or indirectly, to the learned gentleman to bring Mr. Jordan here. Ho (Mr. Courtney) telegraphed to Mr. Jordan, who replied that he could not then come on, as Congress was about ad- Journing; but would do so as soon as his official business permitted him, He (Mr, Courtney) said that if Mr. Jor- dan came hare It was necessary tiat he should be put on the stand after: he extraordinary statement made by counsel on the other side. »nd that there should be some explanation given of either the trath or falsity of that statement. That was tho cxtent of what he said, Ho nover pledged himself to produce Mr. Jordan, He had no power to do 30. They had now rested the case for the government. Mr, Chatfleld—I do not wish you to undorstand that f had said you promised to bring him here, Mr. Couriney—The prosecution having rested their case he did not know what course his learned friend would now take. If Mr. Chatiield desired aforther adiourn- ment of the case for the purpose of having Mr. Jordan here as a witness he must make it in due form, but before any such adjournment took place he would ask from couns*l a staiement of what he intended to prove by Mr, Jordan. ¥o faras he (Mr. Courtney) was con- cerned he did net mean to assent to an adjourn. ment upon statements mado to counsel by o-tsiders, He wanted to know the sonree of bis information. Tbe case had now occupied a week, and it was about time that it should be ounsel v to say that ho and Mr Jordan. He and oe some in tho case. But he wanted to bave some shape wak responsiblo fo the statement ax Mr. Jordan; Hood roent mada by counsel to the public provs was founded in truth or 3, whether it was reccived from ont- siders, from i ible vagabonds connected with this Gang of counterf-Iters. ir. Chatfield said he recretted the statement had District Attorney had not produs Jordan, He conceded that, per- haps, tho District Attorney had no power to bring im there; but he complained that, having tolegraphod to Mr. Jordan and received an answer, he did vot announce that tothe court. Tho District Attorney made a state- brent as to irresponsible vagabonds; ho (Mr. Chatfield) did not know who thoy were; be had sent his son, who was one of the first to go iniothe warand one of the last to leave it, to Mr. Jordan with tter from his client, calling attention to this nfatter; ported to him what Mr. Jordan said, and in consequence of that ho (M>. Chatfield) thought it right to haveghis evidence; if thore was anything vagabond in that he could make the District Attorney a return of the compliment; he did uot think it necessary to examine Mr. Lowoll, for be was not present at what was said by Mr. Jordan, but orders were given to him, aud be wanted him to prove tho reault, but he could not do go without laying the foundation for it. Mr. Courtney observed that he knew Mr. Chatfield, and aleo his son, and he would be the last man to throw out avy impatation on either father or son, in this or in any other case, It was tho Orst time he bad heard that ir. Chatfeld’s son was the who had taken the mesenge to Mr. Jordan. He (Mr. Courtney) had supposed that the statement had emanated from some of those who were counected with this immense gang of counterfeiters in this city, or with the defendant. Connsel made the statement in the presence of the reporters of ail the papers in the city, morning and evening, and in pros- ence of all fin court, that Mr. Jordan bad agreed with the defendant, or with some one on his be- half, that he should not be prosecuted, or, vo take Mr. Chatfeld's explanation this morping,. that the plates ehonld not be produced against him in court as evideson ‘The ono statement, as as the other, amounted to a promise that the defendant would not be prosecuted; he did not care which horn of the dilemma his learned friend took. His learned friend stated that he regretted the statement he made yesterday had beea published, They ail knew that since the commencement of this ex- amination there had sat round the table reporters from all the morning and evening papers which contained th reports of the case, Did his learned friend be- lieve that the statement wonld not be published ? aa Chatfield—1 head believe Pony d Was any re. Porter present except the reporter for the government and the reporter whom I had employed. ‘Mr. Courtney entd they could not contro! the reporters, The public had a right to know the statements of counsel and the examinations of witnesses, They had a right to know who was responsible for this statement, and to see that the defendant should not go scot free or unpunished for the commission of the crime which liad been found againt bim concluavely. That statemont, as he had said, was made in the presence of the court, and he deemed it his duty to disclaim any knowledgo of it. The District Attorney then suggested that on the evi- dence he would be justified in asking the court for two additional warrants against the prisoner, and said that he could not take bail for his appearance unless the bail were such a8 would secure his attendance on any trial upon indietments foundgegainst#him by the Grand Jury, Mr Chatheld remarked that Mr. Jordan told his son that he would send on Mr. Risbey, an attaché of the Treasury Department, to seo that the plates were not used in evidence, Mr. Rishey wes bere, and from that he (counsel) inferred he bad had on interview with Wr, Jordan, Probably he was diseuaded by Mr. Wood from doing what he was sent hero to do, Mr, Courtney satd he had not spoken at all to Mr. Risboy on the matter, ‘Tho remainder of the discnssion turned upou the ques- tion of bail, the Commisetoner stating thet in a case of this magnitude he coald not aceept bail im lees than $20,600 for ths prisoner on this charge. The further hearing of the’case was then adjourned till Tuesday next, CURGR AGAINCT RICHARD WERK, In this care Richard Weekes is charged with having dealt in counterfeit money. The facts aro disclosed in the subjoined eviden Mr. 8. G. Courtney, U. 8. Dis triet Attorney, and Mr. Ethan Allen, U. 8. Assisiant Div trict Attorney, prosecated.
