UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—CRIMINAL CALENDAR, Whe Righth Street Distillery Case—Sentence on the Outstanding Convict. By Judge Blatchford, Yesterday morning George Strausse, one of the four 4efendants who were convicted last week of baving defrauded and conspired to defraud the United States in the distillery in Eighth street, came in to ‘the District Attorney’s ofMice and voluntarily surren- Geved himself. The other three, Sulsberger, Hart- man and Rluischemer, were sentenced last week, and this day Strausse submitted to the law. Mr. Fuller- ton and Mr. D.C. Birdsall, who conducted the de- Zence at the trial, submitted afidavits and testimo fuials as to the character and respectability of the prisoner, and prayed the Court for a mitigation of punishment. The Judge listened with patience and clemency to the prayer urged by counsel, and wildly ‘expressed his belief in the verity of the statements advanced in bearing testimony Wo the respectability of character the defendant bore; but, unfortunately, he bad entered deliberately into a syetem of deioralization which prevatled to a great extent in the country, and those who did so #hould be taught that they could not proceed in an ganized system of defrauding the government of fhe Unitea tates with impunity, The offence was mot denied by him and the trial proved him ity. It was quite clear that the government had nm defraud by such means to @ very large mount, and the offence was of frequent occurrence ‘fall over the country. People must be taught that the law shall be respected. The act of Congress pro- vided heavy penalties for crimes such as that of Which the defendant was convicted. Two years’ imprisonment and $10,000 fine were the penalties | aeeclinae by the statute, by which, also, a aiscre- nary j opekes to mitigate those was vested in the Court. In taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration m reference to a mitigation in this case, he should also have regard to the adminis- tration and maintenance of the law. The sentence, however, would be compar earay light—a fine of 5,000 and ten days’ Imprisonment, and to be further eid incontinement until the fine is paid, Ouer was then removed In custody, Renewal of Recognizances, Mr. Bell, United States Assistant District Attorney, moved that his Honor would issue an order that all the recognizances entered into and returnable this term should be renewed and be in force until next term, in November, Judge Blatchford granted the order and directed the entry to be made accord. ingly.

Schell vs, Whe Erie Railroad Company.—The ap- peal in this case from the order appointing George A. 4 Ovgood receiver in this sult was decided yesterday, Judge Cardozo in his epinion discusses only the question raised by Judge Ingraham as to the effect ef the injunction granted by Judge. Clerke, in the suit brought by Whitney, the venue of which “was Jaid in Steuben county, enjoining any further pro- eecding whatever by any of the parties in any of the suits. That injunction order he considers absolutely void and that it might be lawfully disregarded by anybody, and says with reference to this order, “whether considered with reference to the singular- fty and extent of its provisions, or the circum. stance of lis being issned by a Judge of this dis- Ty trict in an action triable in Steuben county, I venture to assert has no precedent in the DOOKS: no jurisdiction of this kind was exercised by the Court of Chancery in this State in respect to a cause pending in that court,” and cites cases to show thal such a proceeding was held both Improper and wanecessary, and that the peoget remedy is an application by petition to be admitted to the old suit. He then discusses at some length fo show that the old jurisdiction in chancery to re- strain suits at law arose from the fact that the courts could not afford adequate relief, Judge Car- n proceeds to say that the idea that a cause as have been resorted to here mone judge of this court and vesion of by anottier; that thus one judge me and no other powers can practically his associate from exercising his judicial. t thus a case may be taken from judge * one of the parties fear that an jon is about to be rendered by the had satin the c suit may be constantly the will of one of the to be noticed as being a a remarkable exhibition of genius and fert lity of expedient to embar- Tse which this extraordinarily conducted }it- ee aa developed, Such @ practice as that dis- 6) y this ulng attempts to each other in the 4 is new aud shocking e in the practice of t lya member, where t p ens of The jome.

A Remarkable Case of Alleged Perjury— Prominent Parties and Pacific Mail In I~ Pugiliam a la Mode. * » Before Judge Cardozo. Moser vs. Polhamus, Jackson, and O'Brien, Shevif.—This is a trial of feigned issues out of the equity side of the court to determine whether 8 large judgment of about $135,000, obtained by Polhamus and Jackson against William Moser, was obtained by fraud, perjury and suppression of the evidence of ‘Witnesses. e issues were ordered to be tried by @ jury, but the counsel having consented to waive & jury, the trial comes on before a andes. The laintiff, Moser, who endeavors to set aside this Judgment, claims that Jackson & Polhamus sued him (Moser) and one Wm. J. Rea jointly, claiming that on # loas in a stock transaction in Pacific Mail, which happened in February, 1867, they owed Jackson Polhamus on advances on that stock, the amount of this judgment, It is claimed by Moser that when he and were sued jointly by fraudulent arrange- ment the plaintiff stipulated that if Rea would put in no answer and allowed judgment to go by defauit against him (Rea) that they (Jackson & Polltiamus) would make all the money out of Moser and release Rea. Rea put in no answer, and judgment was ob- tained for the full amount claimed before the referee, to whom alone the case was referred. It is claimed, on the part of the plaintiff, Moser—and Rea, it is also alleged, will substantiate Moser—that the latter had no connection Whatever in the transaction, but that it was a pure contrivance and fraud to make Moser jointly liable with him, Rea. . ‘There are produced on the trial the original ‘sale notes,”’ which show that the stock was purchased, not rape but that Moser had purchased for him- self nine hundred shares from Jackson & Poihamus of Pacific Mail stock, upon which he paid a cash margin of $60,000, and has never had returned to him any part thereof, and Jackson has recovered this Judgment against Moser besides. This action ts to set aside this judgment as w>olly fraudulent, Ex-Judge Edwards Pierrep . and E. W. Stough- ton for the plaintiff, and James T. Brady and Mr. Sandford for the defence. It appears from the opening address of Mr. Pierre- pee that Moser is a furrier and was a neighbor of Rea, with whom he became acquainted in 1867, and that in February of that year Kea introduced Eugene Jackson to Moser, and suggested to plaintiff a venture in Pacific Mail stock, saying that there was money to be made; that there was a pool in it, with Leonard W, Jerome at the head; that Rea guaran- teed Moser against ail loss; that on the 18th or 19th of May following Moser purchased 3,900 shares of Pacific Mail and lost very heavily on it, about $70,000 in all; that Rea’s guarantee was valueless; that subse- quently Moser, in company with Rea, called at Pol- hamus & Jackson’s ofice, and that Rea ordered a further purchase iu bisown name by Polhamus & Jackson of a large amount of stock, and that during this interview Rea and Jackson had a private conversation, and ashort time afterwards Polhamus & Jackson transferred several thousand shares of Pacitic Mail to Moser and Rea, and the stock expe- riencing a heavy fall in the market the sellers lost about $120,000, for which suit was brought against Moser jointly with Rea, and judgment recovered against him, Execution was,issued, and the sherit levied on Moser’s property, “To set’aside that judg- ment this suit is brought. Five different parties made affidavits in the case, which they contradicted entirely in subsequent aftidavils, and the purpose for und the inanner in which these aMdavits were made will be best shown by the evidence, It is claimed by some of the counsel that there has been perjury, and subornation of perjury in the matter, “ot no mean order,” and that somebody will -in all provabaty make acquaintance with the Grand Jury efore the affair is finally disposed of. George F. Britton, the first witness sworn, testi- fled as follows:—I reside at 317 West Thirty-seventh street; have lived in New York forty years; was for- merly a broker, but am now tn the mining business; this amMidavit, dated the 22nd of May, 186s, Is nade by myself and Mr, Churies Mailison; [had not then seen Mr. Moser; it is an affidavit stating conversations, and was drawn by me at the reqnest of Mr. ook area I have never yet seen Mr. Moser to speak to him; this afidavit purporting to be sworn to by myself and Mr, Mallison the 20th of May, 1868, was signed by me in Mr, Sandiord’s ofice in Broad- way; I went there after four o’clock in the afternoon; the aMidavit was being drawn when I got there; no part was read to me until it was all completed; was not ann what I would swear to before it was pre- ared, Pimne examination of the witness was here sus- pended, and Jolin K. Porter was called as the next witness, and, being sworn, testified—I am a counsellor at law; Le gone a8 counsel for Polhamus & Jackson in this sult, associated with Mr. Sandford, in the mo- tion before Judge Cardozo; after I was retained the affidavits which had been prepared were handed to ine and were in my possession for examimation until the day assigned for a hearing before the judge; on that day Mr. Sandford when he came into court men- tioned ‘to me that he had met two of the amfants whose amMidavits I had and that they desired they should not be used; that they claimed that these ami- davits did not state the whole of the facts; that these two witnesses had prepared aMdavits for them- selves and sworn to them, containing what they claimed to be the true state of the facts and giving the explanation which they deemed due to them- selves; Mr. Sandford on reading the afidavits said that he thought they stated all that was mate- rial; On reading them I concurred in his view, and concurred with him in the opinion thatif they did not wish the other aMidavits used they ought not to be used. He then called my attention to the fact that there wae an error in the entitling of the cause in the aMdavits which had been handed to me; the motion was to come on, a8 we supposed, ina very few minutes; | ead it was not worth while to have that error corrected, that it would be sufictenc if he would attach to it an amdavit of his own stating the cireumstances under which they were handed to me: that his afiidavit would be entitled in the case, and I had no doubt the court wouid regard the error inthe title as immaterial; L suggested to him he should add they had just heen handed to him, as an explanation of fact that he bad not had the error corrected; he ‘ew that artidavit accordingly, and it wae used upon the motion; no re- fe ne was made in the affidavit to the former af- fidavita, for after the notice received throngh Mr. Sandford [deemed it unfair to the witnesses to nse them, and go advised Mr. Sandfor Fay after- wards cajien on ihe to have me return the Original or first eMidavits; [ told him it would not be just to do so, that J did not think they ought to be returned to itn, because I did not Know what might be his relations to etther of these parties; that he had evi. dently, according to his own showing, sworn to con- statements, and there might be occasion to produce these original amdavits, perhaps for hu | own vindication and perhaps for other purposes; he acquiesced In my not Kotqening go liton was here récalled and resumed as fol- Jn the afternoon of Saturday, soth of May, ft dd ont of th of Mr. Rea’s oftice; I t Mr, Malilson, talking with a Mr. Raphael Mr. Mailison catled me one side and said he had a very unpleasant matter to disclose to me in refer- to an affidavit we hed made in the case; said .

It was generally supposed that the Board of Coun- cilmen de facto would hold their first business meet- ing yesterday, and, in anticipation of that event, the retired and unretired merchants, manufacturers and literati who compose the new Board, with a com- mendable devotion to the interests of our city, waited patiently from an early hour in the morning till late in tile afternoon in and around the portals of the City Hail, eager to enter the arena of debate and practical legislation, But as the present Board, whose legal existence has been do ubted by the defunct organiza- tion, is entirely composed of representatives se- lected from the “glorious democratic party,’ it is not likely that those splendid exhi- bitions of forensic eloquence’ which charac- terized the mental contests heretofore w: by the champions of the republican and democratic schools will be continued, It is sad to contemplate that the conr*ant attendants in the lobby und the public at large, who often hung with breathless interest w the lips of those Who uttered thoughts that breathed and words that burned, while they pictured in classic phrase the metaphysical relation existing between thelr political creeds and a vigorous and economical administration of muni affairs, will no listen to the Ciceros and Demosthenes of the “ who have made their ‘mark’ on the pages of our city government, Seriously ing, all the con- sideration which the “old rd’? ever gave to the business transacted in the chamber was ven in the private council room in the sement, so that alt they had to do was to meet in secret conclave, recelve with meek- ness the manifestoes from the head centre as to what should or should not be “put through,” proceed w stairs, hold a sescion averaging thirty minutes, anc “move the president to ‘journ.” But ifmust not be forgotten that “old things” have pas: away, and it is to be hoped, to use the familiar language of the “ring,” that the day of “big things” in the shape of barefaced swindies is also numbered with the past, ‘The “new” oficials will for the next six months ad- dregs themselves to the administration of the gov- ernment of the metropolis, with due regard to the beat interests of the city, and in so doing will not only make their mark in the history of New York, but will write their names upon the hearts of # grateful peo- le. if the uninitiated citizen or stranger were to have ascended the steps of the City Hall at any hour yesterday he could not (ail to have pervetved that the large majority of the gentlemen who were movi! to and fro witliin Its corridors wore immaculate white hats, and hemignt have innocently tnquired, “Who these arrayed in white!’ The rep.y might have are been, “These are they who have grown with thy city’s growth, and, afier years of honest industry, have amassed fortunes and owe all they 38 tO its rapid expansion, and are now, in the evening of a successful life, giving the results of a ripe practical business experience to secure for their city an eM- cient, Wise aud honest management of its public interests,”” A certified copy of the decision of the Court of Ap- peals declaring that the new Board was constitn- tional was expected from Albany last evening, but {t did not reach Mr. Monaghan, the President, untl yesterday afternoon. Mr. Meknight shortly after re- paired to the Clerk's room and notified Mr. Greene, Who still held possession of the office, that the omtetal document for which they had been anxiously look- ing was received, whereupon he promptly resigned and handed tlfe office over to the how clerk anc his attaches, As it was too late to summon the mem. bers for a meeting that afternoon ‘Mr. McKnigtt tasted a call for a special meeting, which was be} by a number of the members in attendance, ie will be a meeting of the Board this (Wednesday) afternoon, at two o'clock. When this announcement was made the gentlemen Who crowded the Clerk's room began to disperse, but not until they bowed obsequiously to the white hat of Captain Rynders, who was attracted thither, not to descant upon his favorite theme of “nigger but to counsel and advise his pure Au; trigiic fellow citizens tu furtherance of their Biveworks on the Fourth of July. The jotut committee of the Common Counell hay+ ing charge of the pubilc celebration of the coming anniversary of the national independence met yee terday in the committee room of the Board of Alder- men, with Alderman Edward Cuddy in the chatr, The mecting was held simply for the purpose of deciding Grete the fireworks shonld be located on Saturday evening next, and the.following places were chosen:—Battery, City Hall Park, Madison Park, Tompkins parade ground, Marion square, at the fanction of Marion, Elm and Spring strecta; East Broadway and Grand street, Thirty-fourttl street, near Teith avenue; Seventh avenue, between Fifty-seventh aud Fifty-eighth streets; Liber aquare, at the intersection of Forty-ninth etrect an Lexington avenue; Mount Morris sqifire, School house green, 106th atreet and Broadway; Hamers.

Tt was especially decided that the display at each of the points named would be under the direction of the Alderman of the district. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, That queerly constituted, impartially () divided and tongue-tied body, the Board of Supervisors, met yesterday at noon in the chamber of the Board ju the new Court Mouse; and, although a few hours hefore none of the attachés knew anything about when the Board would meet or did not think it would meet for sometime to come, and some of the members themselves “couldn't tell anything about it,” yet when the time arrived at which it had been decided that the meeting shonid be held the Board was on hand, and afew of the chosen and choice apirits who ze around the Park, some of whom make a eek cross” (or “his mark’) the Comptroiler’s OMmce or Street Commis- | atoner’s Office once a month, oecupied seats in the Jobby, and tongued and manched thetr luscious quids and nodded their leads approvingly and ad- miringly now and then as some of theiravorite money spenders appeared or moved, Supervisor Roche, quiet dd nervous, wae in the chair, end the Gusiness procecded without any up. pleasant jars or wwnecrevary delare =A larer num intveres's, SHEET, ber of resolntions for the remission of taxes said to asvessed have been were read and de- ado} inasmuch as no member present Voted either for or them; ana the clerk had the pleasure of reécil at a “two-forty” rate the names of tl en pert.

A Man Shot in a Rivington Street Restaurant— His Death Almost Instantancous—Deceased the Keeper of a Saloon in the Bowery—The Man by Whom He Was Shot Arrested, Peter Tracey, the keeper of the liquor and billard saloon No. 199 Bowery, was shot dead yesterday evening in the restaurant kept by a Mrs, Oeser at No, 2 Rivington street. He was killed by a man named Emil Zinsman, who was in the restaurant at the time deceased entered, From what can be learned by conversations with those who were present at the time the tragical occurrence took place, it seems that Tracey was un- der the influence of liquor and got into an alterca- tion with the man who shot him, ‘The deed was committed about half-past five or a quarter to six o’clock, Zinsman, who is in the habit of taking his meals at the above place, had just got through his evening meal and was qm the act of paying for the same at the bar, when, it is said, Tracey stepped up to him and commenced abusing him in the most shock- ing manner. The man thought to get away from him .but it was of no use, as Tracey followed, ap- plying the most vile epithets tohim. Deceased, ad- dressing Zinsman, called him ‘“‘a d—n son ofa b—h,”” “a sucker,” &c, The onky reply made by Zinsman at the time was, “Go away from me; I don’t want to have anything to say to you.’ He then left the place. Ashe was in the habijof meeting a few friends there he returned to give the bartender some infor- mation in relation to what place he might meet those friends in case they called during his absence, On his appearance in the room Tracey again exhibited a desire to have @ quarrel with him, Walking over to where Zinsman was standing he commenced again in the same rude and abusive lan- guage which he had previously Applied. By- standers say that insman — di all that lay in his power to get away from Tracey: he even went in the direction of the yard to avoid him, but tt Was all to no ; he was followed by deceased, and in the hall and on the stairs the fatal occurrence took place; it was here the two men encountered each other; Tracy seized hold of Zinsman, and the former being the more powerful man of the two, the latter fell beneath the attack of the former; astruggle took place between them, and Zinsman was thrown on or up against the staira in the hallway; while he lay beneath Tracey’s grasp he attempted to call for help, but Bis throat belug arenes: so tight he ‘was unable to make himself heard, Whilie he lay in this position it is said that Tracey exclaimed “D—n you, I'll kill you.’’, The man feared the threat was about to be carried into execution, and to save himself he drew his revolver and fired two shots at his assailant, who released his grasp, staggered back- ward and fell dead in the hallway, All was now excitement in the house, The report of the pistol and the commotion within the bar: attracted a numerous crowd around the door. One of the waiters ran out of the house and succeeded in finding, ina very minutes, officer Michael Flynn, of the Tenth precinct. The policeman accompanies the waiter to the restanrant and there discovered Zinsman standing by the body of the murdered man. The officer caught him by the arm and asked him if he was the man who committed the dreadful act. He fea bel sy that he was claiming, in very imperfect English, it he did so in self defence; that the man threatened to kill him and he feared he would do so, He made no attempt to escape, delivered up his revolver, and expressed his willing- ness to accompany the officer to the station house. Another policeman was called, placed in possession of the house, and officer Flym took Zinsmqn and the two men who were witnesses of the transattion to the station house. Trgeant Reed, who was in command at the Tenth recinct at the time prisoner and witnesses were rought in, after di Ing of them, telegraphed the occurrence to Police Headquarters, notified the Coroner and had the body of man who was killed —_ to the station house. ‘ Between seven and eight o'clock Cordner Flynn and Doctor Knox arrived, The doctor made an ex- amination of the body and found a d in the centre of the breast bone. robed about five inches, but no ball was found. e shot must have ced almost instant death. Louis Paresette, who acts asa kind of cashier in the restaurant and who was present at the time of the shooting, says that the prisoner did all in hia ving to avoid coming in contact with the deceased. en Tracey was speaking in the most violent man- ner Zinsman told him to go away as he did not want to have anything to say to tim. Even the second time he was encountered Tracey was told to keep off or he would be shot, and it was only when the man lay prostrate beneath the grasp of Tracey, ‘Whose hand clutched him firmly by the throat, that the dreadful deed was pespetrst Martin Scheweickart, who is employed as a waiter in the establishment, states substantially the account conveyed above.
