POLITICAL. WORKINGMEN’S RALLY Ratification Meeting at the Cooper Institute. Matus of the Sons of Toil—Addresses Con- firmatory of the Nominations. THE WORKINGMEN’S MEETING, 4 Mass meeting of workingmen was held last evening at Cooper Institute to ratify the nominations of the “labor reform” candidates. Owing, doubl- Tess, to the inauspicious character of the weather, the attendance was very slim and the meagre pyro- technic display outside the building failed some- What in its attractiveness. Moreover, the doors Were not opened unti! a few minutes before the bour announced for the commencement of the proceed- ings, the result being that a large number unable to gain admission went away. At half-past eight o'clock the meeting was called to order. Joseru E. TAYLOR, chairman, stated that he had beea unexpectedly called upon to assume the duttes ‘of tne position assigned him, It was hardly neces- sary to say that the workingmen were entering on & political canvass In which they intended to demon- strate that workingmen as well as politicians were competent to take the reins of government tn their hands and prepare and make executive laws witch Were to govern the people, He would not stop to speak of the many evila of which the workingmen complained. ‘The speaker concluded by strongly advocating the cause of the workingmen and their candidates, as he considered they were eminently worthy to represent the people in the halls of legis- lation, He would now introduce to the audience Jonn Ennis, of the plasterers, to advocate the cause Jor which they were assembled. Mr. Joun H. ENNIS, of the Plasterers) Union, then addressed the meeting, and said that a duty devolved now upon the working classes, because of the corruption and fraud that abounded in the body Politic. The various class politicians objected to the workingmen interfering with their slates, but the workingmen had a right to make a slate of their own. We would ask tue nominees of any of the po litical parties if they had ever tried to do anything for the righis of labor. (Cheers.) ‘The eight hour law, which they hada trifed witn the laboring classes about, bad been a dead letter, That must not any Jonger be a dead letter. (Cheers.) Now the,Conspir- acy act must ve repealed, for it was a blot upon the Practices Of this State. A good, equitavie appren- ticeship law was also required, which should protect the boy and tne man, (Cheers,) A labor law was also ‘Wanted, #0 that the masters should not be like Shy- locks, working the fesh off the bones of the workingmen. A lien law was wanted, by which @ lien could be laid upon a building by the workingman if twenty-five dollars ‘Was due to the man from the buiider. (Cheers.) He had been acquainted with Mr. John R. Hennessy and knew him to be @ true hearted workingman, and tried very hard and successfully to get the eight hour ‘Dill passed. He hoped the workingmen would vote for him as the Senator of the Fourteenth Assemrviy district. He has the nomination of the Tammany Hall, the Mozart and the other political organiza- tions. Mr. Hennessy would act with as much cou- ena Ji ine next Legislavure as any man who would be elected were. Lue workingmen had noi acted selfishly, but they had taxen up several of te nominauons of the different political parties. Let them not forget that Nelson W. Young was running Jor the office of Coroner. He was wortiy of weir ‘Votes, he nad used his time, his health, his strengih and his means, and be had travelled many mies all for the beneijit of workmgmen, and thereiore he ‘was Worthy of their voies. (Cheers.) ‘ithe omice of Coroner might appear unimportant, but it must be Temewbered that many workingmen were killed by the cupidity aad selfisaness of capitalists, by machinery being made defective, and tuere(ore tie oitice, of Corouer was an important oftice, because, instead of @ verdict belug returned of “aocidental death,’”? very often tie makers and users of that macitinery should be sent tothe State prisons, He concluded vy urging tue workingmen ¥o enter into the contest manfuliy and with hope nd courage, aud they would be sure to gain a vic- tory for labor, and by urging that the conspiracy Jaws should be made ayailaole vo the gold sp ecu- Jators in Wall street. (Appiause.) Mr. N&LSON W. YOUNG next came forward, amid Applause, He said he did not wish to make a speevi, having been for the last two weeks 80 acuvely waged, Bo much Bo that pe was at present unose exhausted. However, the fight would soon be over, and victory perched upon tue banner of Jabor would be abie to recuperate uim in order to pertorm tue duties of Coroner. (Applause.) 1t was ot O18 purpose to go into detail and explain Lie Principles wiuch actuated the laboring classes of ihe ily Of New York, and which were so strongly sym- puthized with ibroughoui every county and state in the Union, (Appiause.) The workingmen of the city of New York had placed 1p nominanon men who were other than politicians in the ci ay campaign, TD elected Inen WHOM Liey felt they could trust. They had picked out men who were pledged to the cause of labor and wuo would see that laws were euforced which had been passed dor their protection, but which had been passed 80 weak @ Manner that they Jailed to carry out the objects {atended. ‘he men nominated, he eit con- fident, would strengtuen che eight hour law. ‘They would demand a repeal of the Conspiracy act; tuey ‘Would demand the passage of an apprenticeship law, which would piace the apprentices in such a position that when they were out of their time they ‘Would become honorea and good empioyés and ex- cellent journeymen, able to do justice not only to their employers but to themselves. (Applause.) He ‘Would not undertake to mention names, but sould go immealately to work and say a few words with Teference to himseif. He found that he was to-day ‘the object of considerabie attention, He stood be- Jore the meeting a8 the workingmen’s cundidate for ‘the oitice of Coroner. (Appiause.) He wisued it to be understood that that was a position he did not seek. ‘He preferred much more to be within the rauks fightng to maintain the principles which had, up to the present, characterized the objects of the work- ipgmen, The workingmen had piaced upon we ticket, had endorsed as the workwgmen’s candi- Gates men that would strengthen the claims of the Workingmen of the city ol New York. (Applause.) And waen the workingmen told him that wey de- @ired him to take tue position of Coroner he Ielt it his bounden duty to obey and give his cousent. Now the moment he intimated Lis intention of accept- Ang the nomination ue tuund a great unanimity exist- ng 1D poliiical carcies, and Wich, with One exception, Dad taken him up and eudorsed him. (Appiause.) But he wished it to be distinctly understood that ne Biood before the meeting as a Workingman and upon the broad platform of principies jaid down and enunciated by the Labor Congress, (Appi ause.) He did nov stand there as a politician; if the work- Ingmen had sent them to tue hails wen It could HOt ‘be prevented. He was there on the broad platform of jabor, (Applause.) The people would fina, and it would be satisfactorily demonstrated, that there were M0 in the ranks of labor capable and qualitied tw fi all of the positions which were now filled by politicians, whether Wiey were national, State or municipal. (Applause.) It had been remarked that ‘the office of Coroner Was & poor one, im Which no wod could be done to the workingmen, iow he ocelieved it was @ most important one, and one of great responsibility, and one, too, ‘that would prove of great importance to all classes oa geome (Applause.) He believed it was witain the province of a Coroner to present to the Grand Jury for indictment a ciass of speculstors—what Would he call tuem, speculators in human life y— Men who took contracts to erect buildings, Ww: Bhowed no regard whatever about the lives of the employes. He contended that in such cases the ouice of corouer was of great importance. Then Shere Were rajiroads and sieamboats, They sould be made safe conveyances for the public, and where they proved to be recreant to the public it should be the duty of the Coroner to send them beiore the Grand Jury for tndictwent, to punish them for neg- Jigence, (Applause.) After dilating upon the duties devolving upon the Coroner in a@ city like New York, the speaxer Went On to show that should whe work- Angmen’s candidates be now elected other more im- ortant oMces Would Jolow in rapid succession. Tie present Was but the initiatory step in the great programme of labor reform. ‘he move- Tnent Was now being developed, and other more Juportant nominations would in succeeding years ‘be received with favor, not only in the city of New York, but throughout the fength and breadth of the Jand. (Applause.) The workingmen wouid not be surprised f1in coming elections four or five legis- Jators from the workingmen were found, not oniy in ‘the Assembly, but at Washington, The workinginen Dad commenced a great movement, Let workingmen be united, and although attempts might be made to cast discredit and to sneer upon the movement suc- cess Would alu must necessarily attend their efforte, the workingmen did not anticipate taking so acti part in eae political movement. The ae men’s Union was simply an anized body whicl Bppointed delegates from trades unions, At the request of the Arbiter Union men were sent from outside to work in this political campaign. The Arbiter men and workingmen from different trades ‘unions are endeavoring to elevate candidates to po- ittcal postons ars will be in sympathy with the te of the labor unions. ats CONRAD KUHEN, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements of the meeting, said ¢ Jacob Cohen, who was nominated for Supervisor, sald that Mr. Walter Roche, the candidate of ‘Tammany Hall, had ineulted the workingmen, and it was on that account that they opposed him by nominating Mr. Cohen, The next candidate was Mr. a W.

Mr. Francis R, Pursell Was ap advo- Mt hour law, ana he hoped that Le would be elected, for it would be a credit to the working. men if he was elected, (Cheers.) Tammany Hi offered the workingmen five or six nominations, out they deciined the offer. if the nominations were not the best, yet they had tried to ao the best, and there would be no disgrace ever put upon the work- ingmen by these nominations, Would the so-called organ of the workingmen say that there was no notination of a working man in thetr tat of candl- dates, They could not say it with trath, (Cheers. ) Mr. James RILKY, of the Seventh district, sald that he was rather disappointed at seeing so small an audience, because he expected to see 60,000 working men there. (Laughter and cheers.) He hax been told that the audience was a delegation of that 60.000, He knew that the candidates of Tara- mavy Hall would not beg a the workingman. In about #ix years democratic ry were gong to ‘burst up” the xcise law. Did any man believe the demooracy of New York were golng to repeal the Excise law? (“No, no.) The regular ticket was a great hobby Which the politicians talk of; but the regular ticket was a workingman’s ticket that stands by the side of the Labor Union, (Cheers.) ‘The ball and the dance of the great Tammany Wigwam came of on Monday night; and it was @ fact that it cost about $30,000, Now they danced, and who was to pay the fddier? (Cheers and laughter.) Why, the working- men, to be sure. Now, in 1870 they must send Mr. Nelson W. Young to vol (Loud cheers.) That was his proper position. (Cheers.) With the suc- cess of Mr. Young, elected as Coroner, be hoped that the workingmen would be #0 far encouraged as to send their candidates to Vongress. (Loud cheers.) Mr. RICHARD MATHESON, President of Bricklayers No, 2, said that he addressed the meeting tn the interests of Mr. Pursell, who got the eight hour bill, and Mr, Hennessy, who oelongs toa anion which has anil ti ight hours, and in the interests of Mr. O'Brien aiso. He read a petition from the stone cutters in reference to Mr, Roche's action some fume ago as to the eight hour bul when the City Hall was built. They said that Mr, Roche sald at that time that ten hours was short enough for any man. This Pipe b urged the rejection of Mr. Wa'ter Roche, and urged the workingmen to send Mr. Roche to the blissful retirement of is gin palace in Centre street. (Loud applause.) On behalf of Richard O'Brien, who was running for Senator, he had inquired as to his antecedents, aud he found that he had been @ true friend to working- men, Let the workingmen drive in the thm end of the wedge this time, and next time the workingmen would drive the workingmen’s political wedge all the way home. He addressed the meeting, ne sald, only to endorse Pursell, Hennessey and O'Brien. Other candidates would speak for themselves, and when he went to the ballot box on Tuesday he should vote for the candidates who were brought forward from the ranks of labor. In the Seventeenth ward there were wbove two Luousaud repeaters registered that day, and he would say lo tue workmgmen that if these political parties did not give them political hberty by moral means the workingmen inust take it by physi- cal force. (Cheers.) fle conciuded by urging wie voters to Independent action. Mr. Jacon Conky then came forward amid ap- plause and said be had only received the nomination of the Commaitivee of the Workingmen’s Union, and ne was proud of it. He contended that working- men had « right to mix in polities. They had @ right to protect themselves, because they could not be protected by professional politicians. He bad been a workingsnan all his lite, and be was & workingman’s candidate, and if elected he would do his utiwost to elevate the workingmen and protect the taxpayers. He was iu favor of the eight hour law, and would do all in his power to enforce tt. 1t was uow time for the workingmen to resist te influences of projessional politicians who raled the people. ‘The speaker paid a high tribute to Nelson W. Young. He was the workiugmen’s can- didate and deserved to be sustained. (Applause.) He had worked for the cause of the workingman and knew his wants, and he felt confident that ne would worthily fill the oMece of Coroner. The Speaker concluded by stating that the workingwen were determimed to show that one, two or three men shall not rule the city of New York. (Ap- plause.) Mr. Pursell next addressed the meeting, which shortly after adjourned, TAUMANY HALL GENERAL COMMITTEE, The Tamioany Hall General Committee met last evening in ‘Tammany Hall, gr. Wm. M. ‘weed, Grand Sachem, in te char, The business of the meeting was mainly routine, and the session was a very short one. ‘Tbe time Was taken up in appoint- ing the persons who should have charge of the tickets in the various wards ou Tuesday next. ‘The Names were not publicly announced. Other busi- ness connected with the election was transacted, not, however, of a nature to be of pubite interest, The award of $1,000 not yet been made. It seems to be pretty generally ‘conceded that the First ward is entitled to it, both on account of the variety and superiority of the dikplay made, esp ctally When it is considered that the ineaus at the command of the lower wards are comparatively meagre, MELTIYGS iT NIGHT, Fitth Ward Ratification Meeting. A meeting which looked something like old times was held at the Vanderbilt house, corner of Hubert and Hudson streets, last evening, for the pur- pose of ratifying the nominations of Tam- many Hail. The speakers were Wilson 8, Wolf, William H. Crane, Onarles A. L. Goldy, Peter Mitchell, Thomas E. Smith and Judge Quinn. The Jatter dwelt considerably on the services rendered by Colonel Murphy to his constituents during his long experience in the Legislature, in his unceasing efforts to have the Excise law altered in contormity with the public sentiment of the citizens of New York, and more parucularly in his prompt action to recall from the Senate and defeat a bill surrep- titiously introduced to establish @ raliroad In Church and other streets in this city, which was intended to run through St. Peter’s church, in Barclay street, and also in passing the bill which gives to the Catho- chools the same proportion of the public jpropriated to school pur} a8 16 given to the public schools; also bis determined and con- sistent opposition to the Elevated Rallroad in Greenwich and other streets in Unis city.

Genet. Mr. Butcher was then in- troduced and addressed the aasemblage at leugth, and in the course of his re- marks he demanded that every citizen should stand firm and trae to their candidates, never to give up the ship, and they wouid come in as con- quering heroes on the closing of the polis on election day. He spoke in very favorable terms of the workingmen’s candidate for Supervisor, Jacob Cohen. He considered him an honest, upright and industrious man, and was positive he would receive the vote of every true ciuzen, Mr. Nelson W. Young, for Coroner, was also heartily endorsed.

The Registry in New York. _ ‘The fact that the voters were rather slow in regis- tering their names on the previous days of registra- tion seemed to have warned the partisans of either persuasion that extra exertions were necessary to bring the vote in this city and Brooklyn up near the Standard. The result was that the work of registra- tion yesterday was much more brisk than on both the previous days. The registry thus far, it will be seen, ig some sixty thousand bebind that of Jast year. To-day being the last day for entering the names will undoubtedly show large additions to the lists, although it 18 not likely that the numbers will be up to those of last year. Tne registration thus far 1s as follows:— | yeni | gaz Michael Kilfoil appiied to be registered at the Sec: ond district In the Fourteenth ward yesterday, but the inspectors refused to register his thereupon applied to the Supreme Coa: tained from Judge Cardozo a mandamus, directing the inspectors to “put, place, enter and insert the name" of Mr. Kilfoil on the registry list, or appear to-day and show cause Why they should not comply with the order of the court. Justice Dodge committed Owen Miller and Johan Hannegan for attempting to register iliegaily, the former in the Sixth districvof the Kighteenth ward and we latter in the Second district of the Elghih ward, me. He REPUATING, How Votes Are Made—Fraudulent Registra tiouA Conspiracy in the ‘Tenth Ward. ‘she number of men who vote “early and often” tn this city has for sume time been considered to be large, and the manner in which “repeaters” are abie to carry on their business has often been discussed in the public prints. Of course the men who vote more than once have to be registered more than once, and considerable speculation has oitentimes been indulged in as to the manner in which a man can get lis name inserted more than once upon the registry roll. Certain operations in the Tenth ward yesterday will explain the modus pperandi ot these so-catled “repeaters,” va REG ISTERIN Yesterday afternoon om Philip WH. Smith, of the Tenth precinct, brought into ie Essex Market Police Court a young man named Otto Fredericks and charged him with attempting to register his Laine fraudulently at the place of registry tor the Highth Election district of the ‘Yepth ward. ‘Tue officer was stationed at the registering place of the abovenamed district, at No. 60 Forsyth street. He wiated that Fredericks Came to that place while te Board of Regietry was sitting for the purpose of Making a list of legal voters of the district, and de- manded to be placed on the lst. When asked how old be Was he slated He was twenty-one years of he also said that he ilved at 103° Hester street, and that he was @ native of the United Staies, born in Pennaylvanta. The registrars not belug satisfied that Fredericks’ auswers were cor- rect, sent oficer Smith with him to fina out whether he (Fredericks) did live at 103 Hester street. On the Way to that place the prisoner acknowledged to the officer that ue did not live in Hester street, but at 25 Forsyth street, aud that he was @ native of Prussia and lad never been naturalized. ‘The officer, there- fore, took hi io the court and charged him with attempting to register for the purpose of voting illegally. Justice Shandley remarked upon the prevalence of the offence with which the prisouer was charged, stated his determination to punisi all ; such offenders and heid the prisoner in defauit of $00 bail, After remaining in the cei! about half an hour Kredericks was batied by Mr uae Shiels, of Market street and East Broadway. A WOULD-BEB REPBaTRR CAUGHT. A few minutes after the foregoing case had been disposed of, Justice Shandiey’s attention was calied tc auother of a similar nature. Officer Hogg, of the Tenth precinct, brought into the Easex Market court room a young Wan who gave iis name as ‘Thomas O’Brien, whom he charged with attempting to register his pame in two districts. Mr. Thomas . Thornton, of No, 181 Allen street, Inspector of Registry in the Eighth district of the Tenth ward, stated that the prisoner came into the place of regis- try for the said district, at No. 45 Ludiow street, ana dd his name put upon the registry list there as Waiter Cross, ot No. 67 Canal street. Mr, Jacob H. Cohen, of No. 191 Adame street, Srookiyn, rurther stated that he was in tne place of registry at the corner of Forsyth and Hester streets in the ‘enth ward, and wnat between ‘two and three ociock im the afternoon the man O'Brien came before the Board of Registry there With several others, and that O'Brien regis- tered his name, though he (Cohen) could not remem- ber what name be gave. Justice Shandley, after again expressing bis determination to stop all at- tempts at iliegal registry, held the prisoner to answer in default of $200 ball, Mr. Thomas Shiels, of the corner of Market street and Past Broadway, furnished the bail before che prisouer had been locked up five minutes. A STRIKING FPISODE. Shortly after the opening of the Essex Market Police Court yesterday afternoon @ man known us “Frenchy” marched up to the Justice’s desk, his face covered with blood, which was tlowiug fromm & slight cutin his head. “Frenchy” asked the Judge for & warrant for the arrest of a well-known poil- Ucian Who now holds @ local office in the gift of the people of the Tenth and Seventeenth wards, and who 18 @ candidate for re-election. Justice Shandiecy, as is customary on Fridays, re. fused to grant @ warrant, and Informed “Freuchy” that he had better come on Monday morning. This Was @ very good joke, as Justice Mansfeld could not possibly grant & warrant for the mau who atruck the would-be complal After some little Inquiry it was ascertained that * chy?’ went to the oMcial named and endeavored to negotiate with him for the sale of @ certain number of repeaters, The om . Who, by-the-bye, is one of the heaviest { men elected at the charier election Bix years ago, ; refused to listen to any such proposition. “Frenchy” | left, but only vo return again, and add fresh insulta | to those aiready offered. The geatiewan assured his tormenter that if elected be would be elected fairly, and, further, threatened that if he caugit auy one attempting to “repeat he would be tue frst to panish him, “Frenchy” was ordered out, but would not leave, and at last “nis jordship’s” anger was so roused by repeated jnsuits that he took lis caue and gave the man insulting him @ good thrasning. dhe uulversal verdict Was, “Serve lim right.” AN ALLEGED CONSPIRA ‘The Tenth ward seems to have deen selected, for Rone UNKDOWN reason, as the one in which repeat- jng shouid be carried on at the next election to ihe greatest length, and apropos of the above cases, which | came under (he Hov.ce Of One Of tho police courts of this city, if will be well (o speak of a repeating con- Spiracy Which was cleverly concocted and shrewdly broken up.

Each of this company was to have given to hin five doliare if each registered his name in the tweive separate districts of the Tenth ward. The men were not pledged to support any ticket in the State election, but it was uaderstood that they were to go “solid” for a certain man_at the charter elec- tion, and that man one who has not yet received any nomination. The names of these men, as near as cap ascertained, were James Howell, Michael Lane, Bartholomew Mast, John D. Sammis, George Gage, Join Becker, Robert Montgomery, William Stahl, hh Smith, John Haas, Isaac Beli- man, William Miler, John Mulley, Henry Hendrick, William Roach, John Jaiigan.

Colonel Jones’ remarks were chiefly m eulogy of General Sigel. and all seemed to be inclined to “fight mit Sigel.” Mr. Taylor gave a biography of Horace Greeley, and deduced therefrom a conclu- sion that le was the best man tue citizens could fad to handle she State funds, Mr. Jona M.

The Cuban Privateer Hornet—Unfavorabie Comments of the Cuban Jauta on the Cou- duct of Captain Higgins, Considerable comment of an adverse character has been made upon what is termed the mismanage- ment of the Cuban Junta in the matter of the priva- teer Hornet. 1t has been charged against them that they employed an ex-Confederate fora commander and subalterns of the same stripe, which only injured ther cause in the minds of a large number of people in the Northern States. Sefor Lemus has made & statement to your correspondent relative to ts matter which puts it im an entirely different hight. According .o Mr. Lemus the Hornet was pre- sented to the Cudan Junta by certain parties, who sSupulated that as a condition precedent they should have the selection of her oMcers and crew. ‘This was agreed to, with the understanding that a por- Yon of her crew should be Cubans. In their anxiety to get a ship the Cubans were glad to accede to any 1969, proposition, and believing that the _ parties who had so generously come to their aid would place the prover kind of officers on board the Hornet they were content to have their country represeuted by a few marines aud sea- meno. ‘The Junta had no knowledge of Captain Iggins nor of any of bis oficers, but they supposed he had big heart in te business and would do his best for Cuba, No persons could be more surprised than were Mr. Lemus and his fiends when they heard that Captain Riggins had run his ship into the port of Wilmington. ‘They supposed she was on ber way to Cuba, and had made arrangements to supply her with coal and stores all along the coast of the United States and of the british possessions tu the West Indies, 80 that she could not be com- pelled to put into port at all, except on account of shipwreck, As soou as Mr. Lemus heard that the Hiornet was seized he addressed a letter to Captain Uiggins asking tor an explanation of his conduct. Captain Higgins, however, did not reply to this letter, and has acted all along as if he did not recog- nize Mr. Lemns in is oficial position as representa- tive in this country of the Cuban republe. Mr. Lemus docs not charge Captam Higgins with treachery, but he has his suspicions thy all is not right. indeed, ali the facts and cycumstances would seem to point to the conclusion dat the Hor- net was run into the port of Wilmington for the purpose of having her seized by the Unitel States authorities. Ithas been discovered that ihe wife of Captain Higgins left New York soon after the Horaet sailed south for the purpose of joming her husband af Wilmington, end errived there about the- Same time as the sbip. Mr. Lens thes that perhaps Captain Higgins had a drew ot being captured by our navy, and imagined that wf he could put into an American sort and come out again without molestation he would be safe from all danger from that quater. Wilmington, however, was the worst place he guid have selected for his experiment, If he entertmned this idea, as the sequel bas proven. Altogetheit is manifest that the faith of Cubans in Captainbig- gins is considerably shaken.

SUPREME COURT. & Fenton ws. Gregg & Hughes, Maryland Circuit Court—Steamer i vs. John Green. WASHINGTON, Oct, 29, 1869. No, 178.—Drakely &@ Fenton, Platntifs in Error, vs. Gregg @ Uughes, in error (a Me Circuit Court Jor the district of Maryland, The main question tu the cause is the right of the plaintiffs in error, me aefendants below, to # lien for their general balance, a8 commission merchants, on the proceeds of two consignments to them at Baltimore of pork, hams and shoulders, made at Cyicago by the firm of MeCabe & Co., Who had the equitable interest there- in, without the knowledge, a3 claimed, of the holders of the legal title, the defendants in error, The Carr assent of the latter appears to have been given to the first shipment, when in- jormed of it, and they received the proceeds on the drafts of the coasignors to their order. Tue onsigninent Was without their knowledge, er circumstances making them distrustiul, and tiey thereupon notified the consignees to make no further advances to tne consignors, then claiming to be virtually wud legally the owners of both con- ots. They afterwards obtained from the con- MeCabe & Co., an order which was accepted by the consignees, the plainuils in error, requiring them to place tue proceeds ot ali the preperty to their credit. After this they dealt with the two con- signinents as owners, substituting themselves in the pi of tie origuaal consignors. The defendants in er fad advanced to McCabe & Co., lJarge sits of money to enable them to carry on busivess aS factors, and, in accordance wit the Usual CUStONL IN Chicago, held warehouse receipts cove. tng the pork product in store, the tntent and effect of which, ag claitued, was to vest in them the absolute legal ownership of the property until the advauces were paid. Nearly $70,000 of such advauces were still due at the time,of the trial. Being thus the legal owners, as alleged, ana baving, i understanding clauned between themsely nd McCabe & Co., the entire conirol of the property, they had been shipping it to New York in their own names, for sale on their own account, and crediung McCabe & Co. with the pet proceeds; but in this instance, it 18 asserted, McCabe & Co. made a private arrangement with the = plaintums in error, by which they agreed to make advances at certain rates upon so inuch of the property a8 might be consigned to em. Upon final settiement the defendants m error repu- Hated the terms agreed upon between the plaintits 1a error and McCabe & Co., claiming that they were not bound by the rates Stipulated, but that the plain- tuts in error were bound by their instractions after agreeing to deal with them as the owners instead of McCabe & Co, Suit was brougut to recover the pro- Js of sale and the plainti’s in error resisted, set- ling up alien under the original consignment for advances to McCabe & Co., for which, they asserted, the property Was hable. The Court instructed tbe jury that if they found that at the time the property Was shipped to, received and sold by the plaintiffs in error, the defendants in error held the jegal lle thereto by virtue of che warenouse receipts held by them, then the defendants in error were entitled ‘to recover; and further charged that the facts Upon which the avove imstructions were founded being admitted they must find for the platutits (defendants im error). The plaints in error contend here that the defendants in error were substituted as principals adopting what had been dove by McOabe & Co,, and Chat this establisit- tment of the relation of principal and factor between ihe two firms was, of itself, a suitictent considera- tion for an undertaking on the part of the defend- aut in error to comply with the terms on which, by agreement, that relalion Was to exist. It is clear tuat one who adopts a contract in relation to his property which had ‘been entered into by another accepts the original cousideration of the contract as @ suilicient consideration for is adoption of it. It is submiteed thas the court below erred in submitting the case to the jury Upon the simple question of Jegal title in the defend- autsinerror and notice of that title to the plan- 10s in error, and that the court should either bave ifselt consaued the agreement between the parues 43 appearing in Lhe documentary evidence, or more properly, under the circumstances of the case, have submitted lo the jury as the appropriate tribunal to find irom the evidence what was the true agreement between the parties. The defendants in error con- tend that the doctrine of lien applies only where the deposit of the goods 1s in the nature of a pledge and Goes not apply Where itis made for a special pur- pose. Nor does any lien arise for antecedent debts of the principal by reason of the subsequent creation of the relation of principal and factor. The property on which the Hen is sought to be fixed WUst Not only belong to the party irom whom the debt is due to the factor, but it must come to his hands as the agent of that party; and when the party is not acting in this capacity ol general factor, but only in regard tO @ special consignment on adventure, he las mo lien for a general balance. It is losisted that the (te of the deieudunts i error wa~ not derived from any agreement of or with the plaintiffs tu error, or from anything which occurred alter the property came into the hands of the platn- Ulls in error, but from the warehouse receipts which vested the ttle in them before the property ieft chicago; and even if McCabe & Co, had received au a the property, before the plaintufs in ule Utle of the defendants in The and tiey are not «& Co, for advance The property being become subject except by some @ suMicient con- of Wich there is no pretence.
