The Cane of the Attachment Against the Steamboat Sesevhine—The Question of the Oonstitutionality of the State Lien Law. Before Judges Leonard, Sathertmnd and Clerke. Fn the matter of the attachment of Freeman B. Bird ¢ @., Appellants, vs. the steamboat Joeephine, her tackle, @c.—This'was'an appeal from an order made by Mr. Sestice Barnard, on the 7th day of June, 1867, vacat- ing a warrant of attachment issued against the steam- ‘boat Josephine, to enforce a lien fited by the appellants -underthe ‘provisions of an act of the Legislature en- titled “an ect to provide for the collection of demands againat ships and vessels,’ passed April 24, 1862, for supplies consisting of meats, &c., furnished for the use of the.crow of that vessel. The order was made sub- stantially upoa the ground that the officer issuing the warrant ‘bad not jnrisdiction therefor, the .provisions of the statute referred to conferring such ers being 1n contravention of the constitation of the United States, and of the act of Congress vesting jurisdiction in admiralty cases, especially in the courts of admiraity-ot the United States. The question was elaborately defined im av opinion written by Justice Barnard at the time and published in the Henan, The appellants claim that there is no decision which ‘will justify the decision of Mr. Just Proceedings in rem egainst @ domestic vessel for repairs or supplies furnished at her home port; and this does not interfere with tho federat jurisdiction, as no such Hien or proceedings obtain in admiralty. Tho respondents contend that the procoedings ap- pealed from cannot be reviewed in the present form, the order not being made at Special Term nor tn any action or proceeding pending in this court; that the decision appealed from was correct and constitutional. it beng enacted by the Judiciary act of 1789, that the District Couris of the United states shall bave ‘exclusive cognt- gance of all civ:l.causes of admiralty and maritimo ju- risdiction,”’ saving to suitors, in all cases, the right of a common law romedy, #here the common law ts compe- tent to give it; that the proceeding by attachment was not a common law remedy, and therefore not within the saving clanse of the Judiciary act; that the demand of the orp creditor was founded upon a mariti contract, was cognizable in the admiralty; the supplies, it was conceded, were furnished to tho vemel f this port, while she was engaged in trading between this port and a port in New Jersey. All demands for supplies far- nished to vessels are maritime claims and within tho exciusive jarisdiction of the admiralty, excepting only the case a .Yeaselg engaged in the navigation of the internal waters of a State, or che iakes and rivers con- nected with it. At the close of the argument the Court took the papers and reserved its decision. For the ap- it, COMMON PLEAS—SPECIAL TERM. The Stayvesast Diverce Case—Referee Ap- polated. Beforo Judge Van Vorst.

FINANCIAL AMD COMNERCIAL, Mopar, Nov. 18—6 P. M ‘The cold market has been somewhat irregular to-day, the exireme range having been from 15934 to 140%, with the opening transaetions at 1383, and tke closing ones at 189%. The ‘hort’ interest was considerably increased at the @ad of last week and im consequence there was aa improved borroweg demand for coin, jonns haviog bvem made withoat interest and at2a7 por cent for carrying, The velums ef business was rather large amd the gross clearings amounted to $60,883,000, the gold balamces to $1,275,057 and the currency batances to $1,806,990. The undertouo of the market is dim tm view of the mecting of Congress and the agitavion of the financial and reconstruc- tion questions, With respect to the currency and the probable legisiation with respect to it opipions differ widlely, but the majority favor inflation, while a congereutive minority ave merely anti-contractionists, ‘We agree with the latter and advocate @ suspension of ail further contraction; bat the inflation which the Pen- Alotonians advocate is to be guarded against in Congress, for it would practically result in repudiation and a repeti~ on of the uistory of the French. assignats and the old Continental money, On the other hand, in contraction will bankrupt, the country, including the government itself, and it will be the duty of Corgress when i meots to ropeal the act authorizing the curtall- raent of the volume of legal tender notes, aad to provide for tbe substitution of plain legal tenders for interest ‘bearing legal tenders as fast as the latter mature. More- over, legal ‘tender notes should be mado to take the Place of national bank notes as soon as possible, by an amendment to the National Currency act withdrawing the privilege of cireulation from national backs. It is tue that mavy of the country banks would be forced out Of existence im consequence; but ap improved logal tentet currency, based directly upon the faith of tho government, would be secured to the nation, and tho interest now, paid upom the bonds deposited by the national banks at Washington asa basis of circulation would be saved. » The stock market reacted this afternoon from tho recent advance, and money, which was easy during the morning, became very active at seven per cent an hour or two before the, of bank hours The ac- urity in money was evidently artificial and designed to depregs railway shares, and’ the strect opinion is that the bull cliques were the authors of the movement, in order to buy back at lower prices the stocks which they sold oat last week. . This is, of course, a biow aimed at the strect, and many sach may be looked for dus. ing the progress of the rise which they aro engineering.

The market is controlled by cliques to an extent which makes it independont of out- side support, and tho earnings of all tho leading rail- waveare larger than they were at this time last year, which ts an important’ consideration in estimating the future course o! prices, Tose, therefore, who leok for anything more than temporary reactions ia the upward movement for some time to come will be likely to find. themselves mistaken. There is no chanye to note in the market for commercial papor. The best grade is taken at 7 per cent by the bunks and até a9 ou the street, but inferior signatures are out of favor.
