THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD WAR, CAPTURE OF THE “SAFE” REDOUBT Mr. Tweed’s Despatch from the Field of Victory. The Battle Renewed in the Su- preme Court. THE NAMES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS. Before Judge Barnard. James Fisk, Jr., vs, The Union Pacifle Railroad Litigation.—This seemingly interminable contest was resumed yesterday morning at the sitting of the court. ‘There was the usual array of counsel, nervous to & certain degree, yet apparently indifferent to the sur- rounding eager throng that came as spectators of ‘the conflict. Legal ordnance of the heaviest calibre, briefs and documents, were drawn up in line of battle, while the chiet leaders marshalled themselves and their hosts for the encounter. There was an evident hesitation in leading off, so Mr. Field, Jr., {was thrown out as a skirmisher, and thinking it more advisable to open the ball at once, banged his rifle by reading ghe receiver's report, which was to the following eifect:— RECEIVER'S REPORT. ‘That pursuant to the order of the court he (receiver) yesterday opened the safe of the Union Yacific Railroad Company, when he found within a number of books, and it was also stated by the ofl- cers of the company that it also contained pro- perty, consisting of bonds and coupons amount- ing to hundreds of thousands of doliars, and that he was now engaged in taking an inventory of its contents. That pursuant to another order of the court he produced before A. A, Redfield, the referee, certain of the books of the said company and also certain books of the Credit Mobilier of America, ARGUMENY OF COUNSEL. Mr. Tracy then rose and poured forth an invective against the general tenor of the report. He respond- ed to Mr. Field’s solitary shot, but owing to the mist failed to reach the mark. Yet with remarkable courage he advanced all the while, and Kept up a heavy fire. Some of the spent balls unhappily re- sulted in serious wounds; for although the chivalrous receiver was now removed from the scene of action, they hit him unexpectedly, but the extent of bis tnjuries have not yet been ascertained. At last ac- counts he was doing well. But Mr. Tracy, with re- markable and courageous persistency, kept march- ing on, courting danger at every step, tll at length— having -aNswered the report of the receiver—he re- tired for a renewal of ammunition. ‘Then Mr. Stoughton advanced to the front with com- manding mien, Wit and humor had been left in the tent behind, and now the stern determination to con- quer was manvest to the surrounding combatants. He refuted the allegations of his opponent. He had understood from Mr. Tracy that the citadel of the railroad was totally devoid of provisions, containing only an almanac and twelve shillings, which was not by apy means sufficient to supply so vast an army. ‘Yet when brought to the point of the bayonet on the preceding day, Mr. Tattle, the treasurer of the com- pany, admitted that the citadel or safe contained several packages, bonds and coupons. He ven- tured to state that in the annals of legal welfare, for the first time in life antagonistic counsel had ever questioned the report of a referee regarding his official oath. Mr. Tracy had stated that the instrument of the gallant receiver was sub- stantially false in its construction. In fact he con- sidered the statement grossly improper to be made in the judicial feld of batue, Counsel then produced the New York ITERALD and read from its voluminous pages the ante-mortem de- positions of Mr. Tuttle, who, counsel observed, de- Ye ngen reluctantly, as his situation and consequently bread depended upon his statement, and had it not been for the determined cross-Uring which was brought to bear upon him he probably would not have said so much. Mr. Tracy again essayed forth, contending that the conversation aliuded to by Mr. Stoughton was only the general rumor that prevailed. Mr. Stoughton thought that the ratiroad might have given up the key of the gates of the castle and saved further trouble. Mr. Tracy considered that the beseiging party might just have done the same thing. A beautiful calm now settled upon the determined faces of the warriors, and the flag of truce having been hoisted, hostilities were postponed tli Monday, at ten o'clock, THE CASE BEFORE THE REFERRER. At ten o’clock yesterday morning, in pursuance of adjournment on the previous evening, the hearing of the case before A. A. Redfield, referee, was re- sumed at the office of the referee, No. 20 Nassau street. There was a large array of counsel present on either side, who relieved themselves during the day, they taking turns of duty and rest throughout the tedious and protracted session. On the part of the Breer Fisk, appeared Mesars. Stoughton, D. D. Field and Dudley Field; for the defendants peared Messrs. Charles Tracy, Clarke, Bell and McFarland. THE TESTIMONY.

Richard Jones vs, Henry Davis.—This was a sum- mary proceeding under the statute to recover pos- session of a store and premtses in Grand street, by reason of the non-payment of $350, being a balance of one quarter’s rent. The defendant admitted that the amount claimed by the plaintiff was due, in ac- cordance with the lease, but contended that he was released from the payment thereof in consequence of the landlord’s neglect to repair the roof of the house in question, as he was bound to do by the terms of the lease, and on account of which neglect the rain came through and rendered two rooms on the top floor untenautabie; and also on the further ground that on or about the Ist of March the plain- tf took forcible possession of the front basement and is at present altering the same to convert it into a store. fhe plaintifY did not deny what is set forth by the defendant above, but his counsel insisted that neither of the grounds set up Pr the ae could be interposed in a proveeding of Judge Loew rendered the following decision in the case:—It is now well settled that in summary pro- ceedings to recover the possession of det pre- mises, the tenant cannot set up as a defence a breach of the landlora’s agreement to make repairs. He cannot withhold both the rent and the sion. | Durgan vs. Hogan, 1 Bosw. 646; S. C., 16 How., 164; People vs. Kelsey, 14 add. p. 373.

But it seems the landlord wrongfully wok posses- ston of a part of the premises, to which the tenant was lawfully entath by the terms of the lease, This was a partial eviction which operated as a sus- pension of the whole rent, notwithsianding the tenant continued to occupy the residue of the pre- mises, Christopher vs. Austin, 11 N.
