Perry, of the gene- ral service, now stationed at Fort Columbus, New - York harbor, on the ground of minority and enlist- ment without the consent of his father. Return ‘was made by General George Hartsuf, United States army, setting forth the enlistment in due form of this soldier at Watertown, N. Y., October 23, 1867, by Major U. S. Lovell, United States army; that he had been d examined by the medical officers and found to be able bodied and capable of Perce the duties of a soldier, and had taken requtred oath as to his age; that under the de- cisions of the Judge Advocate General of the Army ‘and of the general term of the New York Supreme Court, as well_as recent similar decisions in the courts of the United States, it was not his duty to luce this soldier in court; but that such deciina- mM 4nd denial of the jurisdiction of the State court ‘Was a matter of official duty, and not from any dis- or contempt of the court. . The enlistment Paper of the soldier and certificate of the army medical officer substantiated the return, and the writ was accordingly dismissed.

Application for, Habeas Corpus, Beiore Judge Barnard. Hasler vs. Hasler—This was a motion for a habeas corpns for the custody of a child two years and nine months old.

In the other cases, 1n which no injunction has been granted, the further eonsideration of the awards of contracts was post- poned until next Monday. THe Farmers’ CLUB.—This association, after & recess of four weeks, reconvened yesterday after- noon at’ their room im the Cooper Inatitute. The heeting was, comparatively speaking, small, but two ladies and fifty gentiemen only being present. The clad was occupied mainly in discussing the re- lative merits of certain strawberry plants and whether or not farmers were not too often imposed on by the offering of old and well known eeedli under new hames. A gentieman who had recently visited the Lake Superior country exhibited @ num- ber of specimens of pure cepper taken directly from the lodes; also silver, mine: precious stones and some specimens of the vegetable creation. At the close of the session a member exhibited insects taken from the skius of kine at Communipaw, into which they had burrowed, greatly to their distress, ‘These animals were recently from Texas, A NEw ConFIDENCE GAME.—The operations of an inventive genius, who has been somewhat exten- sively engaged in making money by a novel and origi- nal method of false pretences, have lately become known. His plan has been to load a dray or express wagon with boxes, properly nailed and strapped and marked to represent merchandise, but filled with stones, and deliver these at the shipping depot of some of the internal steamboat or railroad lines, where he would state that they were goods in tran- situ upon which there were certain charges for pre- vious freight and cartage and that full freight would be paid on delivery, at the same time presenting a bill for that stated to have been already earned. In many instances this has been paid him and more than once by the same company, and in different amounts, In this way he received from one freight agent on various us shipments over $500. He has received as high as $60 at one time; but his last operation was $12, on what he represented were cases of brass faucets, being shrewd enouch to account for the weight of the boxes by selecting heavy merchandise as their sup- posed contents, He is wanted by numerous parties who have been thus swindled by him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, ALLEGED RosserRy.—William Collins was com- Mitted by Justice Shandiey, at Jefferson Market, esterday, on the complaint of Timothy Hockder, of ‘ort Washington, who charges that thé prisoner en- fae his house and breaking open a valise stole LARCENY OF CLOTHING.—Rosannah Aarons, a na- tive of New Jersey, a washerwoman and aged twenty-three, was arraigned before Justice Hogan cree morning at the Tombs, charged with the larceny of a quantity of clothing, valued at $35, from Flora Parker, of No. 128 Greenwich street, on the 1st ult.

She showed the marks of the blows on her head, confirming her statement. The Judge or- dered the policeman to be locked up for examina- tion. His only defence was that the woman was a prostitute. THE SPICER INQUEST. eae To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘What is the purpose and what the duty of a coro- ner’s inquest? 1 am led to call upon you for a reply to this ques- tion, by the fact that within the past two hours no Jess than five different persons, all of them educated People, lave asked me the same question, prompted in each instance by reading the verdict of the jury in the case of the man Spicer, who died on the 19th ult. after taking a seidlitz powder. Before reading that verdict I should have felt well able to reply to the query myself, but now I feel compelled to turn for enlightenment to some confessedly powerful intei- lect, and to you | put the question What is the purpost and what the duty of a coro- ner’s inquest ? The evidence in the Spicer case shows most con- ip hn there was no human possibility, not “one chance in a miil ” that strychnine was resent in the parcel sent Spicer at the time it left he drug store. Mrs. Spicer’s evidence makes it equally certain that none was placed in it by the ser- vant while it was in his possession. The words and actions of the deceased clearly indicate that he was not guilty of the crime of self-murder. Mrs. Spicer's statements as to his love of life furnish strong cor- roborative evidence to the same effect, as does also the fact that nothing in which the strychnine had been previously, kept was to be found—no traces of the poison being ras visible except in the per that had contained seidiitz, powder and in e body of the deceased, If tne poison had been in Spicer’s possession before the seidlitz powder reached him, would not the package which had contained the former have been found somewhere in the vwecinity of that in which the latter had been oar OF, at ali events, in the room, Which he never left alive ater ing. its Surely he would never bave troubled himseif to destroy the one without th er, unless he desired to cast icion the party who handed him the seldiitz powder. A pre-su) tion of such an intea- tion is also the only tenable ground upon which to account for his having emptied the in into the paper containing one of the seidlitz powders before putting the latter into the tumbler from wiich he was to drink it, The evidence in this case proves beyond all doubt, first, that Spicer is dead—potsoned by strychnine; second, that he had no strychnine in his own posses: sion, and therefore could not have poisoned himself; third, that the seldiitz powder contained no strych- nine at the time it react Spicer’g house, nor until = + ee into the hands of a member of his own family, In view ot these facts Lask again, what is the ob- ject and what the daty of a coroner’s inquest ?

Dr. Stone advocated keeping all the tainted cattle in a hospital to be appropriated especially for their treatment and instituting a quarantine of at least three weeks, under the management of an officer of the Board, Dr. Harris said the question was not yet settled as to whether the disease was contagious, The spirit, however, in which the investigation had been entered on by all concerned—the owners of the cattle, ‘the superintendents of the abattoir, the inspectors of the Board and the members of the Veterinary Colleze gave every hope that the true character of the epi- demic wou'd be shortly, finaily and etfectuatly reached. The managers of the catile ds are disposed to take such action towards setting apart a place of quarantine for infected beasts that more than half the remedy is already secured, An artist was already engaged in the building making drawings of the diseased parts of cattle, which he trusted would prove a valuable addition to the sanitary report. A motion was adopted that the Sanitary Commit- tee be allowed to employ four persons ‘o aid in the investigation of the cattle, The fo.lowing report from Dr. Harris was then read and referred to the Sanitary Committee:— MErTROPOLITAY KOARD OF HRALTH, » BurRav oF VITAL StaTiertes, August 11, 1808, Gronar B. LINCOLN, President Metropoiltan Board of fealth : Sti—in accordance with your request the following brief statement fs presented in regard to the malinant disease that 4s found torexist in certain beef cattle that have arrived during the pust few days from southwestern Tinola. The firat information concernjng sick cattle en route to the New York markets was recelvéd on Friday. Early on Satur- aay these newspaper reports received fuller confirmation, which led us to make special efforts to ascertain precisely at What points and by what routes the diseased cattio were ar riving. The officer who set out upon the preliminary inquiry immeiiiately proceeded to the catile rendezvous xt the Jersey aide, and at Communipaw he obtained from Mr. Payson, President of the Abattoir Company, the precise information required, He was invited by that ‘gentlemen not only to ex- amine the sick and the suspected cattle but to make mich sanitary suggestior# as he could for the preservation of cattle [rus and cait trains from the ynfectious. property which it feared the disease possesses, Every facility was given for the examination of the herd. cee vee ‘The facts concerning the infected stock that was found at he yard on Saturday are stated with tolerable correctness 1n the dally papers thls (Tuesday) ‘morning.

We found sixty-tve animals in the infected group, two of whieh were in a dying condition, and some half dozen were sick.

He asserts that no Ilinois cattie had been In actual contact with his herds, but they were in the neighborhood, and possibly had passed over the same roads, ‘The disease we examined fn the Erie Railroad cars is iden- tical with that witnessed in Mr. Alexander's herd at Com- mmuntpaw.

As yet no diseased meat has been detected. There are about one hundred head of Texas cattle at the drove yards at Ninety-sixth street. There appears to be ‘no disease among them; but they are very poor and thia, The supervision will be continued. ‘The case of the New York Rendering Company was next called, and, after some litte argument, ad- journed for one week, A communication from tne Citizens’ Association on the:subject of the removal of slaughter houses was presented and referred to the Committee on Renderiug Establishments, ‘The report of the Inspector on the condition of the Harlem Railroad tunnel, recommending that the company be required to build new drains and pave the tunnel thronghout, was read and referred to the attorney to make the necessary order. CONDITION OF THE CITY. THe Jeport of Superintendent Dalton was then read, ting that during the past week the sanitary inspectors of the cities of New York and Brooklyn have inspected the following premises, viz:—395 tenement houses, 7 lodging and boarding houses, 32 private dwellings, 4 manufactories, 18 workshops and stores, 4 slaughter houses, 14 horse and cow stables, 4 manure heaps, 7 piggeries, 12 fat melting establishments, 1 rendering company, 8 sunken and vacant lots, 34 yards, courts and areas, 44 cellars and basements, 52 waste pipes and drains, 6 cisterns and cesspools, 81 privies, 12 streets and avenues, In the course of these inspections they dis- covered and have reported upon the following causes of complaint:—300 tenement houses, 7 lodg- ing houses, 32 private dwellings, 2 manufactories, 3 slaughter honses, 12 horse and cow stables, 4 manure heaps, 7 piggeries, 12 fat melting establishments, 1 rendering company, 8 sunken and vacant lots, 34 yards, courts and areas, 40 ce.lars and basements, 40 ‘waste pipes and drains, 6 cisterns and cesspools, 80 privies and water closets, 10 streets and avenues and also 34 violatiung of code, Captain Lord, commanding the sanitary company of the Metropolitan Police De- partment, returns 310 orders for the abatement of nuisances, served since last report. His returns also show 199 orders, previously served, as complied with and 154 net complied with. The execution of the latter has been directed by the Sanitary Superin- tendent. During the past week 126 complaints have been recelved from citizens and referred to medical inspecting officers for investigation and report, VITAL STATISTICS FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATUR- DAY LAST. There were 751 deaths in New York last week and. 267 1n Brooklyn. There were 730 and 223, respec tively, in the previous week. The increase of mor- tality was mostly in children under five years old, and of such children there perished 538 and 187 in these respective cities last week, against 520 and 167 respectively in the previous week. Acute diarrhoeal diseases are charged with 303 deaths in New York (40.34 per cent of total) and with 142 (53.18 per cent) in Brooklyn. We regret to see that the fatality of this most preventable kind of disease—the unerr- ing indicator of foulness and putrescence in domes- tic surroundings or in food articles—continues to increase, and there are just reasons for mang that impure and tnjurlous food has been sold in the markets of New York and Brooklyn. It 1s not alone the diseased meats, but vast quantities of decay- ing yegetables and fruits such as no civil- ized community should permit that are peril- ously gold. And the fact must be fear. lessly told that it ts a crime against Mfe to offer for food any portion of the flesh of the sick and infected animals that may for several weeks continue to be sent forward from infected districts in the West. It is Idle to talk of such meats being safe and wholesome for food. Medical oficers of this Board are in duty bound to know the truth on this subject and to advise accord- ingly. The diseased beef must not be exposed in our markets, and there is good reason to believe it will not be, A more manly and resolute sacrifice of pecuniary interest to the public welfare has rarely occurred than that which the officers of this Board witnessed on Sunday last at Communtpaw and this morning at the Erie yards, in Hudson City, Every sick and infected animal was unhesitatingly placed in quarantine and consigned to the “rendering” kettles, Under existing arrangements a great evil can be perfectly averted and control led. The meteorological conditions continue to be un- favorable to health. The mean temperature last week was seventy-eight degrees; the average humid- ity of the atmosphere was seventy-four one hun- dredth of total saturation and the sky continues to be almost constantly and deeply overcast with foggy clouds. But with reasonable and necessary sanitary care and the utmost cleanliness, good health may be enjoyed by all classes of people. E, HARRIS, The following report upon the condition of the tunnel of the Harlem Railroad Company was pre- sented:—This tunnel is In a condition detrimental to life and health, owing principally to the foul and offensive exhalations which arise from collections of stagnant water on each side of the track throughout the entire extent of the tunnel, The surface of this water is covered in many places with a thick green- ishscum. ‘Thetg are two surface drains, one on each side of the track, which are connected near the outlets of the tunnel by a cross drain passing beneath the track. These drains discharge @ portion of the waste water of the tunnel into the pubfic sewers near Forty-second street and Thirty-third street. Owing to the improper construction and -ading of the drains the waste water which is cou- inually dripping ym the sides of the tunnel does not flow off but collécts and stagnates, The soil also of the tunnel becomes more or less impregnated by the urine and dung of the horses which continually travel over it, and emits offensive odors. This con- dition is remedied to a great extent by the juent removal of the soil and its replacement with fresh gravel. At the time of the inspection the surface of the floor of the tunnel Cee to be quite ciean. ‘The surface drain should re; and rebuilt, with a fall sufficient to carry off all waste water rapidly; the floor of the tunnel should be paved and graded So that all waste water may flow off from its surface into the surface drains. If possible the drain should be cemented. After these improve- ments have been effected the tunnet should be daily swept and cleaned in jhe same manner that the public streets are clean The tunnel must neces- sarily always be damp, but the exhalations and odors which now render itso offensive can, in my opinion, be averted. Dr, Moreau Morris, who was sent to make a patho- logical investigation of several cattle at Oommuni- w, was unable to report more than the fact of aving made a dissection. The analytical examina- tion of the diseased parts, being @ matter that re- quires considerable time and attention, will hardly be reported till about October. The Board adjourned to meet ‘Bhursday at two o'clock. THE CATTLE DISEASE. No Need for Alarm—The Symptoms Not Sup- posed to be Contageous. ‘ There is every reason to believe the apprehen- stons entertained by many that we are on the eve of a visitation among our grazing stock similar to the fatal rinderpest that swept like a simoom over the rich pastures of England have no foundation in the facts and deductions so far reeorded. The truth is, aecording to some authorities, this so-called cattle plague is but an enlarged and exaggerated reproduction of @ disease that has prevailed for a long period of time in various parts of Europe, in Southern Germany, the eastera provinces of Austria, Transylvania and portions of Russia. For years it has been known in Texas and 1s accounted for on the grounds that cattle fed ow corn through the winter and tarned out to pastare in the early spring, when the grasa ig weak, unripe and unheal- thy, find the change of diet so violent that their blood becomes effected to the extent of fliling up the kidneys and discharging sat through the urin- ary vessels, These symptoms may be observed in the quarantine at Commanipaw. It is positively asserted by oid farmers that the disease is not contageous, ex- cept, perhaps, Where afresh and healthy drove of cattle graze Over a pasture where an infected one has previously manured the soil. Some assert that the meat of such sick cattle as be eaten with im- jw punity, ve that it 8 less juicy, is just as good ag any The appearance, however, of the slaughtered animals aMlicted with this so-called Spanish fever i: thing but an inducement to taste of their quality. y look better in the oil tub than on the tabie, In Europe the remedy adopted for this disease is fluid turpentine, which is said to heal up the blood vessels and stop the hemorrhage. It might be wcll just to try its effects upon some of those cattle in ‘Communipaw before they all perish, and it has been aiready found that several died of hemorrhage. None have ever been known to recover from the complaint by the simple operations of natura A veterinarian must exercise his skill in time, or it will be dificult to calculate the extent of the mortality am the afflicted cattle. No more cattle were re- ceived at Communipaw yesterday and none are expected until Friday. Forty-one of the diseased re- main in the quarantine yard, but none of them manifest those decided symptoms of infection that brought their 100 compantons toa summary end. Four of the drove were taken out ee treat- ment and observation day before yesterday, because they showed the first symptoms of the disease. They were placed under the care and control of the Board of Heaith for scientific mination, Three of these are unchanged, but the fourth, which was farthest advanced in its sickness grows worse, eats nothing, droops much and discharges biood. four specimens will undergo a thorough medical ex- amination, Three diseased steers came in on the Erte cars yesterd ay morning and presented the most complete and striking series of morbid symptoms that have yet exhibited themselves, ‘The Disease at Albany—Effect on the Cattle Market.

The Common Council committee have refused hitherto to accede to this demand, on the ground that while the Hoboken Railroad is main- tained for the accommodation of the public at a loss of about $15,000 annually, the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad has many objectionable features and is far from being so accommodating to the public. .

J.? Know you not that Peter Bismarck Sweeny is here, laying out the plan of the November and Becember battles; that Police Commissioner Brennan is oa hand, with his Strong, practical advice and his big inftuence; that Charlie Loew is present, prepared to help a friend at any cost; that judges, Senators, Assemblymen, Aldermen, Councilmen and the whole tribe of Tain- many are flocking to the beach, and that the irre- pressible Joe Shannon, clerk to the Common Council and compiler extraordinary ef the “City Manual” is in the fleld as a candidate for the vacant office of Regis- ter of the city and county of New York? Have you no fear of “breakers ahead’? on this New Jersey shore, Big Mike, or no apprehension that your chances for the ri pium so suddenly and unhappily added to Tammany cake may be washed away by the waves of the Atlantic while you are looking after the interests of the poor away up in the avenue, or displaying your burly form to your ardent ad- mirers in the City Hall Park? Let us remind you, Judge, of the fact that politicians in general and Tammany Indians in particular, are migity ance» tain, and advise you to insist promptly on your rights now that you have @ chance of obtaining them. This hint, in passing. Police Commissioner Brennan is here enjoying the sea airand laying*out his programme for practical operations in regard to the appointment of poll clerks, inspectors of e:ection, &c., 80 as to insure at least a full vote and a full count at the several polls in the city. He is so well postea:in city politics that an hour's talk with him cannot fail to be both inte- resting and instructive, “Treason in Tammany !? That is the fearful cry that is borne across the bay from New York and is heard at the Branch above the wash and roar of the ever rolling waves, “Treason in Tammany,” and headed by a name already famous in the records of treason in another land—Jemmy O’Brien. This startling report might well be regarded as calculated to blanch the cheek of the great leaders who are at present disporting themselves on the beach and in the gay saloons of the American Biarritz, and to send” them back, haste post haste, to the scene of danger. Strange to say, however, it is received with remark- able coolness and nonchalence, if not, indeed, with a sort of Machiavellian satisfaction in the thought that an opportunity may be ggorded ata time when the power of Tammany is unques- tionably very great to make an exam ple ef some dis- tinguished traitor as a caution to all evil-doers for all time to come. It has often been the policy of Eng- land and other respectable tyrannies to entice some person of distinction into rebellion, in order that the gallows or the axe, meted out to such an offender, might exercise a wholesome influence upon the rest- less spirits that are ever prone to give trouble to their rulers. Some such plan seems to be floating in the brains of the seaside chiefs at the present mo- ment, if we are to judge from the manner in which they treat the rumor. They affect to smile at the threatened danger, and as they converse freely om the subject we are at no loss to ascertain how the matter 1s looked at from the standpoint of the dersgy beach, This treason, they say, springs from personal motives, and promises to take for its concentrating point opposition to the nomination of Hoffman for Governer by the Democratic State Convention. The rincipal leaders of the movement are Sheriff James Biutien and Congressman, bruiser and banwer, John Morrissey. O’Brien, they charge, is the most ungracious traitor of the lot, because he has _ re- ceived from Tammany the best ofice in her gilt, and, young as he is, has been raised by the strong arms of the o1 ization he would now betray, over the heads of men older than himself in years and in service and his a erie in qualifications. When, therefore, he avows his intention to vote for Griswold for Governor, they charge that he adds ingratitude to treason, and places himself on # par with his name- sake on the Opposite side of the waves which now roll at their feet. It is rumored that O’Brien’s emnity springs from hia supposition that he did not receive from the Tammany leaders the full support and ald he had Shek to expect in his efforts to obtain an increase of fees in the last Legislature, and from personal disappointment in some arrangements he subsequently sought to make In city matters. ‘The assertion here is that this defection of Sheriff O’Brien is not feared, for the reason that he hae in hun none of the elements of’a leader and can never grow to be di rous. He cannot write effective articles in prose‘or sparkling, thrilling poems, like the brilliant Miles O'Reilly. He cannot, like the ele- uent O'Gorman, pour forth from his lips the choicest flowers of rhetoric, a8 the girl in the fable dropped pearis with every word she uttered. His qualifica- Uons for a rebel are confined to the uncertain pat- ronage of the shrievaity, which may suifer terribly from the thumbscrews of Tammany, while his term of office lasts, and a fair capacity for » knock-down and drag-out at a committee meeting or at the polls. Morrissey is regarded as of still lessaccount. The Long Branch opinion is that the laurels he won in the prize ring he will lose in the political ring, and that he will be unable to come up to time. They say that his public offer to bet ten thousand dollars to five that Seymour would not be elected, immediately after he had taken part in the Converition that,nom- inated him, and his subsequent open electfoneering Yor the radical Presidential ticket, has entirely, de stroyed his political future in New York —broken, as it we his polical bank—and they dismiss him with a snap of the fingers. ‘This is how the treason and the traitors are viewed by the leaders of Tammany here, But is the threat- ened defection to be thus despised, and does it really carry with itno great r?

Is any party mere precious to him an the Connolly party? Are there not claws un- der the velvet foot of a cat? Is there no amb.tion for leadershtp beating underneath the jucicial ermine? Are the Senators all sound on the goove’ These are questions for the leaders to ask theinscives and to ponder as they wander along the sea shore. Let them bear in rind that Comptroller Connolly not been to Long Branch this season. Above all let them look to their State bese pees for should they fail to resent a solidly united front at the State Conven- lon there would be real danger ahead. This will be the test of the strength of the disaifected movement in the Tammany wigwam. ‘The branch increases in farety and attractiveness as the season advances.
