A motion was made on behalf of the defendants that the creditors should proceed or the case be dis- migsed.

The United States vs. B. F. Ten Eyck.—The ad- journed examination in the case of B. F.

Shearman appeared for the accused and Mr. Phelps for the government. Mr. Gayler, the special agent of the Post Omice, ‘Was sworn and examined, as follows:—I knew the defendant, Mr. Ten Eyck; Isaw him about the lst of April in the lobby of Fisk’s Opera House; I asked him 1if his name was Ten Eyck; he said it was; he also said his professional name was Egbert; I showed him a check (check identified and marked) ‘and asked him if he had seen it before; he said no; I showed him the endorsements and asked if he had seen them or written them; he said he had not; I asked him 1f he knew Richard Harden; he said he did not; I then told him it had been reported to the Post Office Department that the letter had been taken from the mail and the check paid on a forged en- orsement; I told him that myself and Mr. Du Pro were special agents of the Post OMice Department, and were investigating this case, and that we had information on the subject; he said he supposed we wanted him to go with us, and we said yes, that he might go voluntarily if he pleased , if aan would ners page Coen he a a lew play was being prepa mo} , And It would be inconvenient for him to 3 we Subse: quently got into an omnibus, and we all went to m omice; when I went into my room I told Ten Eye this was a very serious matter; then he said he would like to say something on the matter, but bad tard to _—, ae me said Sots used against him; im if he admitted lt tt would be used against him; he then said:—I iy the person who represented Richard Harden 1n this usiness; I went and got the -money on those checks; the rest of the conversation was im substance as follows:—He said he was in Philadelphia some time and Was there introduced to @ person Harden, or Mr. Harden; he did not retain any special Fecoliection on the subject atthat time, but that in February bathe while he 40 in Fipphingtaie a pean called him by name and spoke to him, saying pame was in and that he had seen him in Philadelphia; that he afterwards saw Harden a dozen times and understood him to be a claim agent _ pa iap corns ane oue soa parton aaned him we was getting along, and he not very wi that Harden asked him if twenty-five aolars would be of soy ‘use to him; he said it would, and borrowed twenty-five dollars from him; that at a subsequent interview Harden asked him if he wouldn’t like to make some money; he said he would, and he then proposed to him that he (Ten Byck) should go to New York and some aymaster’s checks cashed, and that he would get Piney enough to get on here with his famliy; he said he agreed to do so, and Harden then handed him some paymaster’s checks; he sald he came to New York with the checks and went to see Mr. Lat- ven or Mr. Cassidy about getting them cashed; he said he had known Mr. in Norfolk; that’Mr. Cassidy told him he could not do it for him, but tuat there was @ an who had @ desk there who could; that Cassidy introduced him to Mr. McCready; that they went to Mr. Martin’s office and got three of the checks cashed; he said he told McCready that he was Richard Harden, and that he was a claim t in Baitimoy that he went with Mr. jcCready, and finally got eight checks cashed; I am not certain that he said he went with McCready to Nichols’ oitice; he said McCready was perfectly innocent in the matter, and that he had Corres] 4d with Richard Harden, of Baltimore; he showed me two letters, which le said were from Ricbard Harden; he showed me a receipt for $65v, eigned by Harden, dated Astor House, March 10, as the proceeds of the checks put into the market by Ten Eyck and soid; wituess conld not find the re- ceipt; supposed Mr. Ten Eyck had it; the last | saw of the receipt was at my office; as near as | can re- member, tue wording of the receipt was as fol- lows:— Aston Hovse, March Received from B.

Q. What did he say further toyou? A. I asked him about his dens employment; he said he had been employed in the Paymaster’s office and the Second Auditor's office in Washington, in 1866; the rest of the conversation was relative to his arrest or about letting him go and report at another time; he said he had paid over $660 to Harden, and had made over $100 by the operation. Q. Did he tell you what became of the rest? A. No; he sald he had to pay a large discount to get them cashed. Q. Did he say anything to you about Mr. Cassidy? A. He said he had seen Mr. Cassidy the day before, or the day previous, and that Cassidy told him McCready Was in troubie about those checks and was released on $500 bonds.

Before Judge Clerke, In the Matter of the Application of Anna E. Pear- sallanad Joanna O'Connor to be Discharged from Arrest.—The petitioners are, or claim to be, sisters, and were arrested on Thursday of last week for al- leged contempt of Court, under an order granted by Mr. Justice Cardozo, They are still in confnement in the Tombs under that authority. Two or three days since, it will be remembered, a communication was published over the signature of these women, dated at the Tombs prison, and very severely assail- the Justice who committed them, and asking whether any lawyer dared undertake to oe ‘an ap- plication for their discharge in the face of the ais- pleasure which they say the Judge had intimated ‘would ensue. That letter was evidently written for these women by some lawyer. Yesterday, upon application of counsel to Judge Clerke, who is holding this branch of tke court by regular ment, writs of habeas corpus and certiorari were issued to the warden of the Tombs and the clerk of the court, directing them to produce the bodies of the petitioners, together with the record of the proceedings under which they are held in arrest, for review, to determine the legality and regularity of the proceed! and commitment. judge Cierke, however, it is reported, declined to make the writ returnable before himself for hearing, but sent the matter before Judge Cardozo, before whom the writ will be returned this morning, at ten o'clock, — Ju Cardozo is at present holding a branch of the Circuit for jury trials.

SUPERIOR COURT—TRIAL TERM. Alleged Breach of Contract. Before Judge Jones. Isaac Van Tassel vs, J. W. Walker.—Taois was a suit to recover $3,000 liquidated damages. It ap- peared that the defendant agreed with plaintiff to purchase his farm of sixty acres in the State of New Jersey for the sum of $19,000, $1,000 being paid in cash and $3,000 for violation of the contract by either party. It was stated that the plaintiff repre- sented the farm as being in fine condition, more especially in regard to fruits. The defendant entered upon possession, but his anticipations not being realized with reference. to its productiveness, he abandoned, whereupon the plaintiff now sued to re- cover the amount specified tor breach of contract. The defence was that the representations on the part of the plaintiff were false. The case has not been conciuded. SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Western Progress Cropping Out. Beiore Judge ScCunn. Seth W. Hale vs. The Omaha National Bank.— Plaintiff claims to recover $10,000, the proceeds of the sale of the furniture of the Cozzens Hotel, at Omaha, Nebraska, sold by the bank at auction, claiming the same by virtue of a chattel mortgage clause in the lease to secure the rent of the building, which is owned by the plaintiff. ‘The detendants contest the validity of the lien. The questions of the case are all raised by demur- rer, and the decision of the demurrer will probably decide the whole controversy. Jt was submitted on written arguments of counsel.

The goods taken were valued at thirty dollars. ALLEGED SuaRP FINANCIAL PRACTICE.—Mr. Silas G. W. Brown, of No. 68 Liberty street, drew $250 yesterday from the Chatham Bank on a check and laid it down for the purpose of counting, when he was touched on the shoulder by a gentleman and asked if he could give the address of a person whose name was shown him on a piece of paper.

Meeting of the New York Fruit Growers Club—Speeches of General Imbeden and Colonel Cabell—The Advantages of Vir- ginia—Munificent Donation to Southern Herticulturists, ‘The New York Fruit Growers’ Club met yesterday afternoon at its hall, Nos. 35 and 37 Park place. Dr. Hallock presided. Miscellaneous business being first mm order, some agent of a compound promising “Death and extermination to curcullo, canker worm, apple moth, potato mug, cotton worm, tobacco worm,” and all kindred species of vermin pestering horticulturists, stepped up to explain the excellencies of his compound and distributed circulars. He was asked whether any practical test had been made with the preparation, and in answer he referred again to the circulars. It was remarked by one experienced member of the society that such an invention would be worth millions to the inventor, but he doubted Much whether anything of the kind was even pes- sible. Upon this the “agent” subsided and the regu- lar pusiness of the club was entered into, tp hear from several of the Southern gentlemen present an account of the inducements for emigration to the South, Colonel Cabell, wrongly printed Cabral in a former report, spoke first. The question propounded for the consideration of the club—where to emi- grate—he said, presupposes a desire for a change of home. He would, therefore, say nothing upon that subject, but speak chiefly upon what agriculturists are interested—in tbe places where it is best to emigrate to, There were four considera- tions to be estimated in determining this, First, cheap lands; second, the profits of agricultural labor, dependent on the proauctiveness of the land; third, the health{ul ff the climate, and fourth, the probable inc: the value of land. On all these points he the South offered greater inducements at pl it than any other portion of the country. He would, however, confine himseif to the State of Virginia. It 1s, in the first place, nearer than any part of the West, and, therefore, cheaper of access. Improved farms in Virginia may be had for less than what it has cost to make the improvements, and at from six to ten dollars per acre good and productive farms may be bought, the buildings alone having cost more than that amount. In regard to the second point, Virginia, the Colonel sald, presents special inducements. Its original extreme fertility of soil has not yet been ex- hausted; but it is the opinion of all who passed through the State, that with the same system of agriculture adopted in the North, with the use of lertilizers, a greater amount of pro- ducts could be got than anywhere in the North. In regard to the variety of production, Virginia excels every other section. There ts scarcely anything grown on the continent which will not grow in ‘inia, and nowhere better. Virginia flour is even now one dollar higher per barrel than any other. When the best markets are almost at the door, the saving of transportation would be enough in one year to pay for the land. in regard to labor tne Colonel was very emphatic. He said that in proportion to the price paid, better labor can be secured than anywhere else. Tuough slavery was abolished, those who were slaves are there still; they have only cl ed owners. While they were formerly owned by their masters, they now own themselves. He would as- sure his hearers that not a man in the South would re-establish the. former condition. He himself owned 250 negroes, and had lost a large fortune through the consequences of the war, but he had no wish to see the old state of things re- stored, nor had any other in the same position like lim, The freedmen will work, not as intelligently as Northern men, but still they work remuneratively for their object only to show the great productiveness of the Southern soil. There were other industries in the North, he knew, which yielded largely; but if North- ern people were only to come South and establish these industries it would only yieid to a still better development of the fertility of the soil. In point of health there is no better locality then Virginia. He had lived for a yearon Staten Imand and found more chills and fever among children than he did in Virginia, Emi its to Virginia find an establisned community with a refined civilization, schools and colleges, people of education and industrial habits allaround them. There need to be no fear of social ostracwm. The peopie of that State invite, implore the Northern people to come, and from thatit may boa he what their sentimentsare. Even the most ical of radicals, if he comes and purchases land and settles among them, is considered one of them, for they know that in less than a year he will be as good @ Virginian as any born on the soil, and as de- sirable a neighbor. As to the fourth point—the pros- tive value of the land—he would only refer BS the location of Virginia, to the salubrity of climate and the fertility of soil, The time ts not far distant when Virginia will be one of the most, if not the most, prosperous States in the Union.

The Blue Kidge and the Alleghany Mountains are now being yen! and in a short time they will succeed ih connecting Norfclk with the Ohio by a canal. Norfolk harbor is, in depth of water, superior to that of New York, and when this canal is finished @ boat from Omaha may come down the Missouri, up the Ohio and through this canal into James river and to Norfolk witbout unioading. It is almost 1m- possible now to foretell what these improvements inay do for Virginia and its inhabitants, The gen- tleman closed by some rapid references, showing that many of the advantages ascribed to Virginia are equally true of most of the other Southern States. He was followed by General Imboden, well known as one of the most-«daring generals of the late con- federacy. He presented a map of Virginia and stated that the question to be discussed before the meeti: was of much more importance than many believed But the club which he addressed would be the vehi- cle to communicate to the people facta, the true ap- preciation of which would have an important bear- ing in shaping the future of the Southern States. In aconversation with Mr. Greeley, the latter nad told him that the population in New York and neighbor- hood was too dense for their own prosperity; that thousands, Who owned a small capital, found it an easy matter to live comfortably years ago, but that now, with the high prices’ of neces- saries of life, it was diMcult for such to get through evenly. Such, with their sinail capital, would do well in the South; and he, the speaker, Would like to reach the public mind through such pubiic discussions. Virginia presenta, by the variety of its surface, climate aud produc: tion, and by its peculiar relations to other States, special inducements for permanent settlers. It lies on the middie of the Atlantic coast. it is subject neither to extreme heat nor extreme cold. in the coldest of winters the James River Canal was closed only forty-one days. During last winter snow never remained on the ground for more than forty-eight hours at any one time, and while the last was a ve! hot summer, it was not so hot as in New York, while the mean range of the thermometer ts never so high in summer nor so low in winter at Richmond as here. The fall of rain ts more moderate and more equable than further north or south. The peculiar location of Virginia should be taken into accou The Pacific Railroad may work a change in the channel of trade, and wi for distrivu- tion in this country will pass through New York, Norfolk may s1 compete for that part of the Western and Asiatic trade going to Europe.

THE LATE GEORGE C. GOODWIY, Hasty Action of the Public Administrator— Meeting of the Friends of the Deceased. In the case of Mr. George C. Goodwin, the whole- sale drug merchant of Boston, who dropped dead on Wednesday evening at the corner of Amity street and Sixth avenue, as heretofore reported in the HERALD, Coroner Flynn yesterday heid an inquest at the Mercer street police sta- tion. Dr. William Shine made a post mor- tem examination on the body and found the peri- cardium filled with blood, caused by an aneurismal rupture of the heart, which was the cause of death. A verdict was rendered accordingly. Mr. of Massachusett chants of Boston, doing a business $2,000,000 @ year, and was universally respected. It may not be improper to state that previous to any action being tal in the case Coroner Flynn, some one representing himself as betng con- nected with the office of the Puplic Administrator called at the Astor House, where deceased had been stopping, and claimed such Sew Mr. Good- win had left there, and it was delivered over to him.

Had the cave of Mr. Goodwin been one of a criminal nature, instead of death from natural causes, the ends of jus- tice might have been defeated by the premature in- terference with nis effects. Neither is it impossible that some designing man might have personated the Public Administrator's agent, demanded the proper- ty ot deceased, and, obtaining possession thereof, converted it to his own use, A meeting of the friends of the late Mr. Goodwin was held at the office of P. H. Drake & Co. yeater- day. The drug trade of New York and other cities was largely represented. Mr. Jeremiah Curtis was chosen chairman and William P. Ward secretary, aud @ large number of eminent gentlemen were pre- sent. Resolutions were ado} eulogistic of the virtues of the deceased, expressing regret at the sudden bereavement of his family, and tendering them sympathy and condolence. PUBLIC EDUCATION. Exercises at Grammar School No. 1. The semi-annual distribution of certificates to de- serving pupils of the female department of Gram- mar School No. 1, in Vandewater street, came off yesterday morning, at the school house, and the occasion was made memorable by the retirement of the Principal, Miss Mary A. Prendergast. Miss Prendergast had been connected with school No. 1 some thirteen years, during seven of which she has filled the position of Principal. She entered the school as @ member of the lowest class, and by her Industry and ability rose rapidly through and (ea until he! classes and graq = ld the proud position —, with benefit to the school and credit to Repay red sepa Nat ena a denred | herself to her co-laborers and the ro uptls wi have come under her care was also ri soy evinced in the affecting leave taking and stantial and artistic testimonials of friendship and aflection which were lavishly bestowed upon her.

Mr. ’Donnell, Principa: of the male department, read the farewell address of Miss Prendergast to ner as- soctates and pupils.

MUSICAL AND TH: ATRICAL NOTES, “Humpty Dumpty” dies to-morrow night at the Olympic. He was a mischievous fellow, but delighted all who were so fortunate as to make his acquaint ance. He has been for over one entire year the great pet of the ladies and children, whom he never failed to deilght with his laughabie escapades and curious pranks and capers, and by them will no doubt be greatly missed, especially at the matinées. If his life had been spared him for a few more evenings he would have reached nw five hundredth represen- tation. “The Tempest,” aa written by Mr, Shakspeare and conjured up at the bidding of Fisx, Jr., at the Grand Opera House, subsides to-morrow evening at that establishment, where it has raged for seven weeks with all the accessories of artificial thunder and lightning, manufactured by Mr. Tayleure, and which up tothe present time have always been greeted with genuine ‘storms of spplause.” After “The Toe, we are to have the brilliancy of Sardou’s Miss Eliza Newton, late of Brougham’s theatre, takes a farewell benefit at the ThéAtre Francats to- Aolary” wil “apeax a lite piece,” independent of will « & little pi lent of in which she will act for the pleasure of her friends.
