6 A PICAYUNE WAR. Marshal Barlow and Jueze MeCunn at Loggerbend i Bushwhacking About the United | States Court Buildings. THE CASE OF JOIN H. PRATT. The Marshal Fears Arrest and Surreunds Himself with Troops. * Atremendous state of temporary excifement pre- Wailed about the lower part of the clty yesterday in Consequence of rumors industriousiy set onffoot and kept rapidly fying to the effect that a conflict of authority was existing between the United States authorities and the State judicial Buthorities, and to add fuel to the flame it was also announced thas a collision between Vaited States reguiar troops and State militia was perilously tminineat. 1t will be remembered $hat a few daya since Judge McCunn, upon awrit of habeas corpus, discharged one John H. Pratt, an in flividual then held by the Uyited States under arrest upon a charge of murder committed in Texas, Common reportalso placed Pratt in the light of a Texam bushwhacker and desperado of the most “savagerous”’ description, wio had slaughtered heca- tombs of inoffensive cliizens In the “Loue Star State” Aud estublished a state of terrorism wherever, he went, Bot the particular charge against him, which, by the way, has not yet been tuliy devoloped, Was stated or aad rstood to be the ktll- ing of @ United States soldier; and this was readily believed by many persons of peculiar political pro- elivities, for the reason that Pratt, in addition to being now a captured bushwhacker, had been at one time a major in the Confederate army. Now it 80 happened that at the time Judge McCunn issued his tat directing tne release of Pratt the latter Was in the custody of the United States autho- Fities, aud the order of the State court was disre- garded. United States Marshal Barlow is the cus- todian of Pratt, and when the Judge said “Pratt ts discharged,” the Marshal thougut “Not it I knows and Marshal Barlow has not yet altered his ind, Various rumors have been set afloat that the judge hat become exceedingly irate, and was deter- ined that the contempt of his oficial posiien #houid not pass winotuced, Accordingly Marsha: Barlow thought he had some Qignity at stake, aud jeeiing that tf should be sus- tuned in a diguified manuer he had a force of United States troops mustered at his omve e .

When the Judge rived at his court he looked ieisureiy frow the w dow and saw nothing of any more star tig descrip- Vion than a lot of louagers around the United States Court building epposite, whicu scene, by tue way, js no novelty.

Marshal Barlow put bis own construction upon te authority 80 conferred, and, deeming a body evard of United States troops the satest “iegal’?

The prisoner, though stout'y protesting lis innocence, was committed to THE AVENUE A ARSON CASE. The Defendant Dismissed—How Complaints Are Made Up—Wiltvl Perjary—Lvidence Made to Order, ‘The readers of the HEraLp will remember that on the night of the 12th day of July, 1869, a dry goods store on the first floor of the tenement house No. 180 avenue A was discovered to be on fire, and that believing the conflagration to be of in- cendiary origin Fire Marshal Brackett cavsed the arrest. of Philip and Julius Knopd, the proprietors.of the store. The particulars of the case were pub+ ished exclusively in she columns of the HERALD, end the reader will recollect that Pnitip was discharged and Jullus was held to answer the charge of arson, As twenty Jamiites Were living in the upper part of the house When the fire occurred, it was thought at the time that any tau who could have fired the premises was worthy Of the greatest punishment which could be meted out to him, and as 4 consequence the greatest excitement existed with regard to the case. On the examination before Justice Mansileld at Essex Mar. Ket Police Court, Fire Marshal Brackett stated that he had no evidence agains? Phili nes and upon the motion of that oficial said Philip was dis- charged; Det Julius Knopf was held for examina- tion uncer heavy vail, Mr. Hirsch, the counsel for Julius Knopf, after consultation with his client, came to the conclusion that his cent was the subject of @ conspiracy, and tmerefore demanded trom Justice Mansfield an exami- nation iu the case. The Fire Marshal did not atiempt in any way to prevent the Prisoner (Julius Roop from having @ Pgs sd examination, ‘dhe examination in matter terminated yes- terday, and Justice Mausileld waa so fully convinced that Knopf was the subject - or @ dastardly conspiracy that he dismissed the complaint on rc ig that the evidence was 1d him. him to assigt him fn bis incendiary intentions, but under the Circumstances the Justice was unable to attach any importance to his evidence, Another wituess lor the prosecution was another man, who is also beuleved to be an uunreliapie witness, being a friend of the witness referred to, And aiso associated with a “gang” known to be eee ‘or witnesses in c@ses penuing in. the court The testimony for the defence proved that Julius Knopil was in no way interested in the store, and that he eould gain no pecuniary or other advaniage from the bun of she store. The ofticer who arrested the prisoner in Bssex street aiso testified that he arrested Julius Knopff at ‘is residence in Essex street, Waere he was discoy- ered in his night dress, and that he willingly gave Rimseii up and seewed very much surprised at ihe charge agaiast him, Justice Mausileid, in discharging Julius Knopf, remarked upon these lacis, aud stated that the tes- timony Was not of the character, nor 4was it suff- clently atrong, to warrant bins in sending him for ex- amination.

These were Silly Barr, H. ‘W. Genet (formerly Danvers Boy), Angeline and W. kK. ‘Thomas, Genet was a great favorite, the New Yorkers and men from the Eastern States bet- ting heavily on him. His easy victortes at Mystic Pars this summer, together with the high price pald for him, led them ‘to believe that he would win the race very ceastly, He was beaten badly in each heat, and his backers lost heavily. The owner of Genet was greatly disappotnted at the result, and ho ts mot Satisded that he had not ‘been tampered with in some way. ‘The horse séemed stupid when brought on the track, and when put in motion he had no speed, He was distanced on the wird heat.
