NEW YORK CITY. TBE COURTS, WHTED STATES DISTRICT COUIT—IN BANKRUPTCY. Important Decision— fraudulent Preferences, Before Judge Blatchford. In the Matter of Adolph Louis & Henry Rosenham, Bankrupts.—The first nine specifications filed in op- position to the discharge of the bankrupis are that the bankrupts, early in April,. 1867, at Cmeiuoatl, Ohio, while insolvent, transferred to varlous credi- tors of theirs, seven in number, real estate in Ken- , tucky, lowa aud Texas,. two stocks of goods in Mem phis, Tenn.; astock of goods at Nasliville, Tenn., ‘and @ stock of goods at Bolivar, Tenn., for the pur- pose of preferring such creditors and of preventing such property from ing into the hands of an- assignee in bankru| 3 that the transfer of the stocks of goods. were made in a lump to each credi- tor without any inventories being made, and that such transfers were frauduicns and vold under the Bankrupt act. The paper of the baukrupts first went to protest about the Ist of April, 1867. Tuey were then in fact insolvent, but professing to believe that they Were not, they commenced tmmediately and cou- tinued during April and May, 1867, to turn out their Property in paymeat of debts due to certain of thelr creditor,s to Lue exclusion of others, Their indebtud- hess on ihe ist of April, is6%, Was about $200,000, Ry the lst of June, according to the evidence, tacy had in that way paid oii from {300,000 to $400,000 of such indcbteduess. Whea then paper 60 went to Protest they were engaxed in busiuess as general Merchants anu copariuers, under the name of A.

Jt sets forth debis duc by the firm amouuting to ucarly $90,000, and eighteca debts the amount of which is put down us un- known. Among these eighteen creditors are the cre- ditors to Whom the four stocks of goods and the real estate before mentioned were transferred. ‘There are Ro copartnersuip assets set out ip the petition ex- Cept about $55,000 of debts due to the firm or upon account from creditors, nearly 300 in number, scat- tered all over the United Stuies, and a lease of real estate in Ciucianati, valued at $v,000, and mort- ages for $29,500, On the foregoing lacts 1 must old not only that the bankrupis were insvlvent on and aiter lst of April, 1867, but that they had good grounds for believing themseives insolvent, and tat they acted on such belief in maxing the preferences they did amoug ihe creditors. After the ist of April, 1867, they were not able to pay ali their debts in the ordinary manner und course of bustuess, aud their business was broken up. Ali this they knew. They contemplated insolvency within the meaning of the Bankrupt act, and they therefore not only had reasonable grounds for beiieving themseives insolvent, but in judgment of law they knew they Were insolvent. Witi tis knowledge, as one of them tsulied, they struggled along and paid along till the latter part of May. In doimg so they made the preferences referred to, Intending to pay the favored creditors, whether the others should re- geive auything or no. ‘1ilis Was a giving of traudu- lent pre:erences under section twenty-uine and con- trary to the provisions of section thiriy-nive of the act. The first nine specifications are therefore sus- tained and discharges are refused. G. & M, Sackew lor the baykrupts; H. H. Rice for the opposing creditors. In vie Mater o; Join T.

The Berk- shire was at the time on a voyage from New Orleans to Havre, in France, and the Scotia was on a voyage from Liverpool to New York.

Pike never came to rehearsals, so 1 could not say anyt to her about it; I ‘said to him, “Won't you let Mrs. Pike come and see what she has to do,” but she never came; he said he would not let his wife come to so small a part as a few exclamations; I reminded Mr. Pike about our conversation in which I staved it was a smuli theatre, and they would fave to make them- selves yseful; of course this part called for some singing from her; she sung there before comic; Idon't know whether Istated to her husband that wanied her to sing, but 1 expected her, like the rest, tojoin in the chorus; sle sang at least a dozen times there before, but notin the general chorus; I would have been satised if she had gone on the stage and not have sung; I said to Mr. Pike, “You must fulfil the contract or there isan end of it;’’ he said, “I am eee of it, for I can get thirty dollars @ Week at the Olympic to-morrow, and lam sure I can get twenty dollars;” it was by mutual agreement that he then walked out of the theatre; rs.

Men old years, many of them gray or bald and many on whom the cares of life had left their mark; men of all professions—edi- tors, clergymen, lawyers, doctors, merchants and others—left their business and, despite the forbidding state of the weather, hurried to the old building in which they had passed so many happy hours, and romped through the rooms to which they have so long been strangers, and to which they returned with much evident gratitude and gratification.

Tats drew Torth a remark that “the ninth class was heavy on reading, poe which was received with shouts of Sy food at the expense of the secretary. Dr. &. & Kirby, who organized the sctiool in the butlding in 1825, addressed the meeting at the invita- tion of the chairman. He alluded to several items of his experience in connection with the school.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 1869. The remains of another victim of the late rebel lion were taken from their obscure resting place yesterday and prepared for Christian burial in con- secrated ground. The bones of Henry Wirz, the Andersonville jailer—or at least the remains of his bones—were exhumed by psrmussion of thé Preal- dent. ‘The circumstances connected with the arrest, ac- cusation, trial and execution of Captain Wirz are yet too fresh in the public mind to need more than @ brief mention now, in recounting the last occur- rences that will ever require to be recorded in con- nection with the ill-fated commander of the rebel prison pen at Andersonville, Ga. It will be remembered that in the spring of 1865 evidence was obtained by the Bureau of Military Justice which tended to implicate Jeff Davis with the cruelties that were perpetrated in the rebel prisons upon Union soldiers. The evidence indi- cated that formal orders haa been issued by the pretended President of the confederacy directing the practice of these cruelties, and Wirz, who had during the last days of the rebel government been in command of the Andersonville prison, was charged with having received these orders and of carrying them into execution, He was arrested, brougit to Washington and lodged in the Old Capitol Prison. Public opinion was so strong against him that it was with the greatest dificuity «a lawyer could be found who was willing to brave the storm of I ignation in defending him. Finally wyer of this city, undertoox the and througbout Wirz’s trial labored thankiess tas! zealously in behalf of his cient. Wirz was found guilty, by the military commission which tried him, ot cruelty towards and the murder of Union prison- ers, and was sentenced to be hanged, and on the 10th of November, 1865, he was executed at tue Old itol Prison. ii Was given out publicly that after his execution the body of Wirz was buried in the grounds of the Arsenal; the occurrences during the trial and the scenes at the execution were themes of conversa- tion for a few weeks, aud all the circumstauces con- nected with the Andersonville jailer faded irom the public mind untit the present. Shortly after the execution Mr. Schade was be- hildren of Wirz to go" ties, meaning resid jus of the War Department, peremptortl; refused Fallow the body to go iuto'the possession relatives. It was eveut ascertained that the rematns of Wirz were de; in the same grave with those of Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Harold, Atzerodt and Booth, in the ammunition store room of one of the Arsenal buildings. Finding that the President had given permisstoa for the removal of the remains of Surratt, Mr. iced his eiforts to obtain tne re- Piined to defray the expenses, An application was then made for the remains, erday the President I ler addressed to Secretary Schofieltt, the requisite instructions for tue de- of the remains.
