NEW YORK CITY. ~—eeeeeeeeererr THE COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. ‘Wee Alleged Case of Perjury Against John D, McHeary Before Commissioner Osborn, , Fhe United States v8. John D, McHenry.—The ex- ‘amination in this case was resumed yesterday morn- fag. The charges against the defendant, it will be zemembered, are based upon the testimony given by ‘him in the cage of the United States against Com- ‘issioner Rollins and others, in an examination “wpon charges of fraud against that officer, and ‘which occupied such a length of time and attracted go large a share of public interest and attention, 41 the circumstances of the case have been fully re- ported in the HeRacp from time to time. At the opening of the court Mr, Joseph Bell, Assistant Unitea States District Attorney, acting for Mr. Samuel G. Courtney, appeared for the govern- ment, and addressing the Court, said that it was ‘bis intention to proceed with the charges against the ‘Gefendant at the same time. There were two sepa- wate charges of perjury preferred against the defend- ‘ant, and as a.arge portion of the testimony of two of the witnesses would be similar and apply equally . Gam okares I suggest that the two charges be combine Mr. James J. Rogers, associated with Mr. E. D. McCarthy, counsel for the defendant, objected. The eases were distinct, the defendant being compelled to give bail in cach. Counsel and their client were Jed to suppose the charges distinct, that the offences atteged to be cominitied were represented as having been committed at dierent and distinct times and uuder entirely different circumstances, a3 charged two separate amidavits, The Conmuissioner said that no detriment could accrue to the defendant by having the cases ecom- dined, the two charzes being in fact one, and arising uuiler precisely similar circumstances. Counsel hav- =e ohare Opposition the case was proceeded ith, ‘The first witness examined was Joseph Gutman, United States Commissioner, before whom the examination was held, aud before whom the ail- Gavits were sworn in the case against Commis- giouer Rollins and on which the present prosecu- tion is based, (AMidavit shown.) This affidavit was resented to me on the 29th August last by J. M.

Mr. Beli stated tuat with regard to the charge of Samuel N, Pise against the defendant the goyern- ment here closed its case. The Case of Charles Loeb Against McHenry. In the case of Loeb vs. McHenry the United States also prosecuted, The first witness called was Charies Loeb, whose testimony in the direct examination Was precisely the same as that given by him tn his rebutting tesurmony in the examination of the Rol- ins case, in which he contradicted all MeHenry’s statements with regard to his having seen or spoken to Mr, Rollins in Washington in May, 1868, and his having handed him any papers, checks, package or document of any kind. The whole of the rebutting testimony of the witness was fully reported in the HeRaALD on the occasion of the previous examination and need not be repeated. Nothing avecting his dl- rect testiinony or important to the case was elicited. The governinent then rested the case, wilh the ex- ception that it desired to put Commissioner Rollins on the stand, Mr, Bell asked for the committal of the defendant on the Pike charge of perjury. Mr. McCarthy opposed this, insisting that before the defence could be called upon to proceed with thelr case the goverament, as it had chosen to combine the two charges, must complete the whole case. The Commisstoner ruled that the government must complete their case before ne would take final action in the matter. He would, however, increase the bail requ red hitherto of tho defendant in the Pike case froin $2,090 to $5,000, the bale in the other case to stand ad it was, The further hearing of the case was then adjourned to Friday next at ten o'clock. Comunittal on Charges of Counterfeiting. Joseph Barenbo, an Italian, and John Smith were brought up by Colonel Wood, Chief of the Secret Service Division, on a charge of carrying on the business of deailng in counterfeit money, with in- tent to defraud the government of the United States. The defendants have for some time been under the espionage of ue Colontl’s detectives, and last night they sent a person to 35 Mulbsery Bros, in which the defendants carried on their illegal work, witn twenty dollars to purchase some of the stuff. The pay got $100 of the eperions currency for the wenty: CL Men he handed over to the detec-* tives. Tlie latter at once made a descent on the place, captured the two defendants and seized $500 worth of counterfeit fifty cent currency stam) and $500 worthin five doliar notes. ‘he parties were held for trial.

The Workingmen’s Union held their regular mect- ing last evening at 267 Bowery, William J. Jessup in the chair, ‘The Carpenters and Joiners, Operative Plasterers, Furniture and Carpet Clerks, New York Benevolent Society of Practical Painters, New York Union Prac- tical Painters’ Assoclation, Walters’ Protective and Benevolent Association, Journeymen Bakers’ Pro- tective and Benevolent Union, Brass Founders and Finishers’ Protective Union, Slate Roofers’ Union, six divisions of Laborers’ Union were represented by delegates, There was no representation of the Journeymen Tailors, aypogrephicel Union, No. 6; Journeymen Horseshoera, United Coopers, No. 4; Bricklayers’ Unton, No. 12. ‘The minutes were read and approved. Mr. P, WALSH, from the committee to inquire about the time demanded trom the laborers on the Public works of the city, reported that laborers were working for a term of ten hoursa day on some of the buildings and parks. ‘This he considered was making an invidious distinction be- tween laborers and bricklayers. The latter had raised all the cry about the eight hour movement and monopolized to themselves the claim to all the benefit arising from the act of the Legislature, The laborers were entirely overlooked, and yet it was hard to see how the bricklayer could well get along without them, Mr. ENNIS, delegate from the Plasterers’ Society, said the bricklayers had never given any aasisiance to the Workingmen’s Union. They have always kept away, and if they intend to rere in their policy he hoped the Workingmen’s Union would have noth- to do with them. . WALSH thought the laborers were just as much entitled to the benefit of the eight hour law as the bricklayers. The laborers, it is true, have given little pecuniary aid to the Bricklayers’ Society, but they have suffered a good deal from their strike and yet have always faithfuily by them. Mr. McDERMOTT, delegate from the Waiters’ Society stated that owing to certain differences between himself and the society he represented he considered he yee no longer a member of the Workingmen's intol Mr. Hernicg, delegate from the Bakers’ Soctet; had nothing = spe to report, but he was nape to announce that fhe Bakers had already initiated the co-operative policy and liad started a bakery on the mautual aid principle, which was coy pond very favorably. After a few remarks from the chalrman the assemblage, which was very limited, dispersed. THE FIRE MARSHAL AND THE POLICE JUSTICES. The question of the Metropolitan Fire Marshal's authority, under the act creating the office, to try cases of alleged arson is assuming an interesting shape. 1t will be remembered that up to a few daya ago ine susices of the Folee Gourte bare Upen in the habit of permitting the Marshal to fake evidence in all cases of suspected incendiaries, and upon the evidence so taken they have discharged or held the prisoners. Justice Dowling, acting upon the advice of coun- sel, a few days ago, decided that the Marshal, under the law, had no such power, and refused to recognize that oMcer’s authority as binding upon him as a Jus tice, On Thursday Justice Shandiey took a different view of the question, and in the case of the brothers Wolfe, who were arrested by the police on suspicion of having fired their premises on Wednesday night last, and turned the prisoners over to the Marshal to hold tne investigation and return thein to him for final disposition. Fortwo days the Marshal has been investigating the cause of the fire and has made itv thorough, yet he did not ina single instance permit the ners to confront and cross-examine their accusers. Yesterday afternoon he took the prisoners before Justice ant and submitted the evidence, when the Justice inquired if he had confronted the prison- ers with the witnesses. The Fire Marshal replied “No, | have nothing todo with the examination of I took tue statements of witnesses on id not examine the prisoners at my Justice read over the evidence, and ied in tril for examination, Five Marshal he intimated that he would look lato tie law, aud it might be necessary for him to summon the witnesses before him and eater into an investigation, Aiter Justice Dowling’s decision in the premi Superintendent Kennedy issued an order to the lice to take all persons accused of arson before Marshal. ‘ihe Superintendent, acting uhder instruc- tious of the Police Commissioners, it 18 believed, seconded this order. It is probable that Justice Shandiey wil give @ decision in the case to-day, WESTORESTER INTELLIGENCE, Fousp DrowNed.—The body of an unknown man drifted ashore at Hunt's Point yesterday. The Coro- ner was notified to hold an inquest on the rematna. AN Insane WoMAN was found wandering about the streets of Tremont yesterday moraing.

During the call of committees the Chair an- nounced that a member from Califoruta had not at- tended the meetings of the Committee on the State of the Church, and Rey, Christopher B. Wyatt was appointed in his stead, None of the standing committees being ready to make a report, Mr. Samuel B. Ruggles, of New York, obtained the door and moved the following:— Resolved, the House of Bishops concuring, That the alter- ation of the constitution recommended by the succeeding ution be proposed and that the same be made knowa to the several diocesan Conventions, im pursuance of Article ® Of the constitution, namely :— Resolved, That article 2 of the constitution be amenced as follows striking out of safd aritcle the words “four cler- id fonr laymen” and inserting in lieu thereof the ree clergymen and three laymen,” aad by addin icle the words “whenever the Woceses admitto the Union with the General Convention shall excoed fifty in number the represcutation from each be re- duced to two clergymen and two laymen.” Mr. Ruggles explained the nature of his motion, that it proposes to reduce the number of the deputies sent tothe Convention, the number being already too large, and if the measures under consideration shall be passed dioceses will be multiplied, so that “the whole country will blossom with dioceses.’ Hence, if the dioceses are increased the number of deputies must be diminished, or else the provincia system becomes a necessity, Mr. Ruggles moved that his resolution lie on the table for the present and be considered hereatter. HIGH CHURCH AND LOW CHUKCH. Rey. Dr. J. S$. B, Hodges, of the diocese of \ Jersey, tho first assistant secretary of the house, move | the followiig amendment to canon 1:— In section one, after the word “producing,” fn tho second He, to strike out “the evidence of his being | minister thereof,” and to add at the end of the section “the evidence of his being a minister of this church or of some church in communion therewith ;” and tirsection two, after the word ‘tniniater,” in the fourth line, to introduce the words “of this chureh or of some chureh in communion therewith,” and also to add the two following new sections, to wit: — Sec. 3.

Dr. was compelled by these continuons and rapidiy succeeding interruptions to disclose his pur- pose, And he submitted the following resolution:— Resolved, The Tfouss of Bishbp¥ Sdheurring, that the phrase “Presiting Bishop of this Church," in canon nine, fection three, title two, line three (page eighty-one) be referred to a Joint committee of the House of sishops aud of this House, to ait during the recess between this and the next Gen- ¢zal Convention and to report to (he same as to the meaning of the pirase—whepher 1t means simply the Presiding Bishop of the House of Mshops, or whether the meaning is that which stands on tha face of tt and fs the literal sense. And If we have a Presiding Bishop in the sense of Primate, or Me- tropolitan, o Patriarch, that this commiites do report a nou defiuing his powers, bringing the present phraseology the C ‘hand canons into harmony with itself, aud pre- mode of his appointment, The reverend doctor had hardly concluded to read the ie, to. bosom motion upon motion was made e, and the luke, Ali these mo- out of order, as Dr, Adams hicld the floor, and @ motion could be made only with his consent or on his yielding the floor. But, with his usual tenacity and humorous descriptive powers, he held on to the floor and made his speech in favor of the motion. He was instructed that there was no “Presiding Bishop of this Church,” and the phrase occurs only in this cauop, and was only introduced in 1556, 1t Was a sort of legisiation very common in political bodies, but not in the Church—the intro- ducing of @ new idea by side wing. By that irase we have @ primate, @ patriarch, @ metro- canonically, Judge Ous, of Illinois, calls the doctor's ention to the words “pre- siding bishop” in article ten of the consti- tution, The doctor replied that he knew it; but what he meant was the phrase “presiding bishop of this Chureh,” aud not of the House of Bishops. He wanted a yote of the Church on that, with fuil understanding of the powers of such a bishop. In the first days no one denied to St. Peter the designation of Princeps <Apostoiorum, ant by the very use of these words he became Prince of the Aposties and of the Church, But the reve- rend gentleman. despite bis arguments, drawn from sacred and profane history, from law and even statls- tics of life insurance, failed to make any impression on the House, except in #0 far that upon concluding his discursive essay, on motion of Governor Fish, the Committee on Canons was instructed to inquire into the expediency to strike out in the canon mentioned the objectionable worda, “of this Church,” which sirack such terror into the heart and 4 of the reverend doctor from Wisconsin, ‘A GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION.

Mr. Weish closed with the motions intimated. Rey. Dr. Littlejolin ob- Jeeted to a double motion, but only the motion to table was entertained, Rev.

Mr. Welsh withdrew the motion to tabie, offered his other resolution as a substituts and debate pro- ceeded, Rev. Dr. Pierce suggested an amended form for the last clause of the second paragraph, 80 a3 to make it read:—And such consent shall not be given by the General Convention until it has received sauis- factory assurance ot a suitable provision for tho sup- pore of the episcopate in the contemplated new dio- S Again it was asked all over the house what the westion before the House was, and afler a conversa tion between a number of members and the chair the President stated the question to be on the substitute oiteved by Mr. Welsh to the reported amendments, and that the whole sabject was open for debate. Mr. ‘Tazewell faylor, a supplemental delerate from Vir- ginta, then obtained the floor and spoke against the pecuniary restriction, since in the State of Virgiuta no roligious corporation can own avy property except Such as necessary for divine worship, and thereiore vo endowment ‘or investinent for the support of a new epi eopete could be made in that v.

Dr. y, referring to tho gen- eral subject, reped 2 atguuien's made the aay bofore, that’by multiplying bishops without provid= ing for thelr adequate support the dimity of the episcopal ofice would be lowered, and tie speaker combatted this as fallacious.

Dr. Howe, of Pennsylvania, took the floor, have now a territorial restriction and ani merical restriction, and it is now intended to remoy these restrictions and only introduce one for the adequate support of the eviscopate, which is reached in many dioceses by the contribution of one dollar for each communicant. As to the multiplication of bishops there need be no fear, 28 there 18 a sensibio jean in all things, and the General Conveation is to retain the control of the creation of bishoprics, Governor Sievenson, of Kentueky, moved that the debate close at haif-past one P.

Dr. Haight be permitted then to close ip behalf of the committee, As the reason for his motion the Gov- ernor said that if every subject should call out such unending debates New Year's day would find them still in session, Judge Comstock moved to amend that no member shonid be allowed to speak longer than five’ minutes, nor more thanonce. ‘Yen min- ules Was Suggesied, but was not pressed, as the general sonse of the house appeared against it. The amendment was carried and the resolution, as ae adopted.“ Kev. Dr. . MeMasters, of Minnesota, was in favor of removing the restrictions, but he 13 m- ressed with the truth of the remark made by Rev, r. Mead that unless we take what the committee reported we lose all, But the General Convention should keep its strong hand over the young dioceses around it. In new dioceses the clergy are wortiy ‘oung men, they are ambitious and they had seen jow they act; they even change their fimily name without as much us asking “‘by your leave.” Youn; America is getting too big—it runs into individual- ism. ‘his brought out Rev. Joha G.

Bishops should be supported, and if any one would propose to go into the missionary fleld without support the speaker considers him untit for the work, Time being called, the reverend gentleman Ee way to Judge Comstock, of Western New York, in opposition to the reported amendments, It would give the General Convention the power to fix the salaries of bishops, which would be an Interference in a civil contract between the churchmen of the dio- cese and the bishop to be elected, But the proposed canon means more, it requires an endowment, the wave’ ment f Puupgtent sui the Inierest from which will si ppb the &piséopate, Calls of “Vime up”? urged loudiy agatnst the Judgé, who movi we lnitation of debate, interrupted hia argument, an Mr. Edward McCready, of South Carolina, followed, giving his view, as an old lawyer, of the legai ioter- pretation of the words of the proposed canon, and Opposed the pecuniary restriction as more odious than any.

He referred at first to the many objections made to the proposed alteration of the Church, sae care tne reasons of tue cotnmuttee for consenting to them, He knew all are equally desirous of Olly the prosperity of this branch of the Hol jolic Church, and if any there be who wish to clog the wheels of the chariot of the Church as it moves on, he has yet to see them and does not know them. But they diter about (he mode hew todo it. To each of the several objections the Kev. Dr. replied in detail, using very forcibie arguments to dispe! whatever influence those might have had upon the mind of the Convention, Espe- ctally strong was his argument tn support of the proposition that bishops should be adequately sup- ried, They should go forth with untrammelied bands and their minds atease. They should have the “sliver and the gold wherewith to do their work; they ought to have not only the sympathy bué the support of their elders and brethren, Bishops should not be sent forth without scrip and without staf.

He then re- ferred to the Mother Church in England, the course of which in regard to colonial bishops should be taken as instructive exampies, and also to Canada, where the division of the diocese of Toronto Into the dioceses of Huron and Toronto was only consented to after a sufficicat support I uarantecd fo the Bishop. Many other reasons were adduced by the reverend representative of the Committee on Canons, and he c.osed with an eloquent peroration, which ad is immediate effect upou ali wuo heard him. some controversy ensued as to how the question ‘was to be taken and What question was, in fact, be- fore the house.

THE PRIZE RING. The Wormald-0’Baldwin Fight Foiled Again— Arrest of O?Baldwin—He is Held to Bail. The flstic tournament between the above pugiliste was again foiled yesterday morning, thereby Spoil. ing the anticipations of many who earnestly ex- pected the questionable pleasure of @ rattling fight, After his return from Philadelphia O’Baldwin and others went in search of Wormaid, who, in reply to hostile inquiries, assented to a challenge to encoun- ter his adversary and put an end at once to the differ- ences which existed between them, A report quickly spread that the fight was to come off in a house in Mercer street, but a raid by the police on the premises proved the statement to be un- true. In the meantime arrangements were being made elsewhere to obtain atl the parapher- halla of the ring. After considerable dis- cussion it was agreed that the fight should take place on Riker’s Island, and shortly before one o’ctock a number of well filled carriages were drawn up ta Broaiway. The police, however, wore on the aert, and receiving a! information of the ocenr- rence surrounded Lovejoy’s Hotel and quietly arrested O'Baidwin, ‘The vebicles, however, had previous!y tett for the ground by ditferent routes, and, ignorant of the.capture of O’ Baldwin, proceeded towards Coburn’s Hoiel, at Harlem, where it was promulgated that “Sandy” Cibvson’s place was see lected as the pomt from which they were to embarit for the island. Tom We'sh soon appeared wita the ropes and stakes; the pary alighted and filed off In twos and threes, But the scent wad sure and the the police put an end pes of a fight. Notwihstanding this the crowd stilt lounged about and seemed detecimined to see the matter to theend. At length Sergeant Raaseil and a force of about fifty men presented themselyes and marched down to seventy-first t. In order to save Wormald from arrest a number of those present retired to un adjoining livery stabie, in which were butt Retily, Rocks Moore and others. At once suspecting that Wor- mald Was emong the group the police charged on the stable, but the bird had flown. Not a little crest. fallen the police retired, but again being attracted by a receding carriage quickiy pounced upon it in ‘uest of Wormald, but he had long since disappeared. The crowd subsequently dispersed, and tins the affair, which caused some exciiement, was brought to a termination. Arvest of O’Baldwiu and His Trainer. About half-past two o'clock yesterday morn- ing Ned O’Baldwin, the prize fighter, and his trainer, John O'Connor, were arrested at Lovejoy’s Hotel, Park row, by oflicer Dwyer, of the Second precinct, and taken to the Beeks man street police station. The prisoners were subsequently taken to hardquarters in Mulberry street, and from thence before Justice Dowling at the Tombs. O’Baldwin, when questioned by the magistrate, said he considered the fight between him- self and Joe Wormald for $2,000, which was to have taken place in Pennsylvania last Wednesday, “off,” in consequence of the non-appearance of Wormald. Ned sa d he claimed the mouey, and was ready apd anxious to fight Wormald at any time and place and foy a8 much money ag he mizht desire. Captain bry of the Central office, who brought O’Baldwin and his trainer in court, made an afiidavit in which he set forth tiat he had received informa- tion from rellable sources, and from the conduct of well Known sporting characters in this city, thata prize faght, a tight beuween two men for moneys wae about take place within the city or adjacent county; that the tight was to take place between Edward O'Raldwin and Joseph Wormald, to the prejudice of the people of the state of New york, rie prays that they may be deait with aa the law ec On the above complaint the magistrate informed the prisoners that he shoud require them to give bail in $1,000 each to keep the peace for one *year.
