Aiter a brief consultation on the bench Judge Wood. ui sani tha. the Judges would each speak tor Luise on the saiyect, KEMARKS OF JUDGE BLATCHFORD, Judge Biaiculord tue sald:—uis question of the Power o! tue court had occurred to us, and we gave Some atiention wii, And regarding It as we ald, Dot only appitcable to Us pariucwar case, but to the geveral adiuiuistrauion of justice, we considered it our duty to call tue actention of counsel to it. For myseif, rom tae Ugut in which | view the question, my view of tue power Ol the court 18 this—that the courts of tue United Staces, im crimimal eases, can exercise the same power that existe In duy Other criminal court, of setting aside the verd.ci of a jury xiven against the clear weizat oi evideuce. Tucrelore, When there 1s not sudicient evidence to Support a verdict, It 18 the Guty of tne Court, 1 criminal Cases as well ag in clvti cases, to Bet aside suc verdict. Now the precedents of prac- tice found 1M the books sviliag aside verdicts by tie courts, givea against tne welgut of evidence, es nob ouly tO Cases iu Stats courts, but to Ciuainal Cases In the federal courts.

Under the promise of this lease ne had expended a large amount upon the premises, and the landlord now reiused the lease and had tne benefit o1 all the outiay. The Court held that although the prqmise to exe- cute the iease was void as law it was good in equity, and directed the jury tu give such damages for the Improvewents as they thought reasonable. ‘yhe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in Tespect of the reui, and for the deleadant in the sum of ;552 lor the improvements on the premises, C.

Most of the session was occupied in tryin dictment against Leopold D, Stein, cuarg! hum witb perpetrating @ rape upon Mrs. Uharloute Vorck on the St of October of last year. The only witness for the prosecution was the complainant, from Whose testimony it did not ciear! the offence was actually accomplished. swore emphatically twat he did not take any im- proper liberties with her, and proved by several witnesses that he was a man of excellent character. Mr. Howe also brought out the fact In the course of tne trial that @ civil sult was commenced in the Superior Court against Stein, in which the com- pesiank laid her damages in the sum of $20,000, ‘he jury, alter deliberating a few moments, rendered @ verdict of not guilty. George Bell pieaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, he having been charged with stealing nme barrels of tallow, worth $200, from Kobert Martin & Gv. He was seubto the State Prison fortwo years and 81x months, BURGLARY. James Revington, who was indicted for burglary in the third — Pleaded guilty to an weage wo commit that oifence. On the might of the 3d of Fepruary he burglariously entered the clothing store of George W. Morrison, No. 23 East Filteenth strect. He was seen in the premises by an oiticer, an escaped through a rear door, but was pursued and arrested, His counsel staved that he wouid like the sentence to be postponed until he produced a Quaker gentiewan, who would give the prisoner a good cbaracter. He was going on to make a speech, but Judge Bedford suddenly stopped the tide of elo- queuce from proceeding further by remarkiog that the Quaker did not know the prisoner, the circum- stances of the case showing that Kevington wus a rofessional burgiar. He was sent to the State Prison for two years and s1X months. Michael Gallagher and Michael Muldoon, who were charged by Patrick Quigicy with perpetrating an assault and battery upon him, were acquitted. Josephine ‘thompson and James Doran, who were charged with grand larceny, were also discharged by the jury, there being no leyai testimony to convict them. THE WHISKEY CRUSADE. The Treasury Agents Looking After Collector Bailey’s Seizures in This City—The Failure of the Prosecutions—“ Breakers Ahead.” The HExALD's thorough expose of the operations and results of Mr. Collector Balley’s raids on the whiskey firms in the Thirty-second and other dis- tricts and the immense damage done to the great business interests of the cily has naturally enougn drawn the attention of the Treasury authorities at Washington to the field of operations, Solicitors Banfeld, of the ‘Treasury, and Smith, of the Internal Revenue Department, are now in the city examining into the grounds for the wholesale seizures made by Collector Bailey, The serious loss to the Treasury caused by the almost total suspension of the whiskey business by Bailey’s extraordinary proceedings jus- uly this unusual examination on the part of te Washington authorines. As our readers are aware Mr. Balley, about the second week of January, seized the goods and pa- pers of more than twenty of the most respect. abie houses in New York. Two months have elapsed since, and in no case has any specitic allega- tion or charge been made against the goods, and the Coliector 18 continually asking for more time trom the United States courts in order to find some reason for his actions performed some sixty days ago. His criminal cases belore the United States Commission- ers were \erminated in tue release of the accused in consequence of Mr. Balley’s fal!ure to furnish proof of bis vague general charges. iis civil proceedings as faras brought to any Issue have fallen through because ol bis inability to find the slightest possivle evidence upon which t found a charge. Yet the imiense business in whiskey and spirtis 1s yet sus- pended in his district, Some houses have falied; others have been compelled to sacrifice reat estate to tude over the proiouged crisis, and sail others are crippled lorever simply because of Mr, Baiiey’s action, in which the government can gain nothing, while it May lose @ great deal and Mr. Balley secure bis lavieties. ‘The loss to the internal revenue aloue in tue Thirty-second distric) must amount to many thousand doliars, While its prospective gain from present appearauces will be nothing, ‘Thus far da the Cook case he was beaten, in the Mott & Aeany alfair the firm was released, and 1p all the otuer cases he 1s not prepared to go on for want o. evidence.

On Tuosday evening there was & bull at Brooks’ Assembly Rooms of the aristocratic McCabe Asso- ciauon. The cream of the Fourth ward graced the Occaston with their perfumed presence. Joy reigned supreme al) the night long, and no one “‘enjyied bis sel!” more than John McCabe, better known to the Poltce as “Buckey.”? He waa in his glory with the “gerrits,” and drank to their beaitn many a time before “Schwate Home” by the orchestra bade every- body leave the place and go to bed, THE BATTLE PIRLD. “Buckey” went out when he could not stay any longer, and avout half-past six o'clock fevcbed up at MeGoldrick’s liquor store, 55 Frauxfort sereet. ihe took several frienda in with him, for company’s sake, and strode up to the bar. Mr. James Ll. Draper was behind the counter, Draper's young brotuer and an upknown man sat bebind the stove, talking about things in general and the ball in particular, and @ man named Richard Dowling had just howsved himself on to the top of an empty beer barrel, THE DEEP PROVOCATION, Now, it happenea that Draper kuew MeCabe and McCabe knew Draper; 80 wey nodded “How d'ye do,” and “Buckey” called ter drinks for his party, “What will yese have, gintiemin,” said be to nis friends, and all tie ‘gintiemim” smiled good na turediy. One took gin and another Whiskey straig’ every one to hia taste, in iact, or rather in a tu bier. The drinks cown, *Buckey”’ suacked hits lips approvingly and declared the “stuit”’ bully. So did all his friends. Then “Buckey” put his Mand in lis ocket and fumbled about for something thas wasn’t here. Putting on his most winsome smile be then exclaimed, *'1’il pay you some other time.” Draper looked at him Knowingly. Foiding lis arms on the counter he leaned over and remarked, “No you don’ ou've done that afore.” “Yer a liar,” said “Buckey,” looking red in the face, Draper feit bad at this, of course; but he didn’t flare up: he put his hand in his pocket and ex- claimed, “Ili bet you tive doilers you did.” But be had not time to putup the money, for “Buckey” hauled off and gave hun a rignthander over the left eye fr eapaed sent him to grass among the de canters. s THE BATTLE. “Buckey” evidently meant mischief, and had no sooner struck the blow than he drew a revolver and began to fire at Draper. ‘The first shot went wild of its mark, when Draper sprang’ over the counter and grate’ with his assailant. The two men hada erce struggle of it for awhile, and “Buckey” did his best to turn the muzzle of the revolver towards Draper's head, but he couldn’t do it, so ughuy was he held. He finally got his band loose for a second, when Draper's brother, seeing now serious the row had become, ran from his place behind the stove and made @ pass at McCabe With a stool. ‘'nia came near laying him out, but is only gave bim control of his pistol and he fired, putting a bullet in the fleshy part of the thigh of the younger Draper, although ne meant to hit the other. The wounded man then sprang behind the counter and went to the desk for @ pistol, but could not find it. The man Dowling, who had been percied on the beer barrel, found things were getting too hot for comfort, and made & move to “git,” w! “Buckey”’ fired at hin, and the bullet entered nis breast, near the nipple, taking, fortuuately for him, an upward direction, The unknown man, who had been talking with young Draper beniad the stove, then came in for his share, and was struck iu tne head by a bullet from «“Buckey’s” pistol. The row then became general. Everyoody who had been punched or buliet-struck felt that he was “kit intirely,” and so went jor “Buckey’ with @ vengeance. The yells thas were ven, the blows that Were struck and the damage hat was doyete.bran new hats were a somecnin a@ppaliing,-ol Suy rate “Buckey” was knocke: out us far sidewalk, where he tore himself from his victims aud went at a 2:40 gait nopody as yet knows where, “WE ARE ALL JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS.” The wounded then betook themselves to the sta- tion house, where they recounted the scenes of the battle and terrified gentle Sergeant Carr with a de- scription of the awful horror which might have been had Buckey ktiled every mother’s son of them, As it was, they had a narrow escape and telt particu- larly good when Dr. Doner hove in sight from head- quarters to dress their wounds. The bullets were extracted from the bodies of Dowling, young Draper and tne unknown, and all were pronounved tg be out of danger. Officers Mahoney and Finn are now very anxious to introduce “Buckey” to @ police magistrate. But, as Pompey would say, “Whar am he gwine tot” LOOKING OUT FOR “BREAKERS.” A New Police Bill Framed for Yonkers=The Legislature Appealed To—The Yonkers Folks Don’t Want to be Left “in the Lurch.” In view of the approaching change in the Metro- politan Police Department of New York, through the instrumentality of the proposed new city char- ter, the property owners of Yonkers, Westchester county, have of late been regarding the probable withdrawal of the force at that place with consiae- rable uneasiness, atvended with forebodings of ins curity to lute and property in the immediate fu- ture. Several meetings, composed of influential citizens, have recently been licld for the purpose of devising means of local protection when the bill indicated becomes a law, and the important question has been discussed with a unanimity which totally ignored party lines and poltiical predilec- tions. On Tuesday evening an unusually large assemblage of promineut taxpayers met at Manor Hall, in the above village, on which occasion a bill for the future police government of the town, which had been carefully prepared, was submitted and unanimously adopted. This bill, which looks to the retention of the present police force, is modelled after the Metropolitan Police Commission at present existing, and is understood to constitute the Presi- dent of the village and the Supervisor of the town ex-opicto & board of police commissioners. A committee appointed by the citizens proceeded to Albany with the bill yesterday, for tue purpose of submituing it to the Legisiature, and if necessary to urge its Immediate passage by that body, OPPOSITION TO NEW PAVEMENTS, Meeting of German Real Estate Owners on Orchard Street at the Turn Hall. A meeting of German real estate owners on Orch- ard street was held last evening at the Turner Hall in that street. Mr. Conrad Kuhn, as president and representative of the Turner Society, owners of the premises Nos. 27 to 33 Orchard street, opened tho meeting. He regretted that those who were instru- Mental in calling the meeting did not exert them- selves more to have a larger attendance, but he thought that if they proceeded to organize they would succeed in preventing the imposition of @ useless expenditure for repaving Orch- ard street from Division to Houston street, as it 1s now proposed in the Common Council.’ Mr. Adam Stumm was chosen chairman and Mr, John Schade secretary. It wus stated that accord. ing to the prevailing rate of contracts for paving the cost for every lot would be above $300, and the gen- eral feeling of the meeting was that the overwheln- ing majority of owners on the street were opposed to any such outlay at the present time. On motion of Mr. Kuhn a committee of three was appointed to draft @ protest against the proposed measure. Messrs. Kuhn, Volimer and Schade were elected such committee. Tne members of the meeting were all directed to act as @ committee to circulate the protest for signatures as soon a8 it sliall have been prepared, Ali present handed im tueir address and the meeting adjourned.

The market for commercial paper was steady as last quoted, THE NATIONAL BANKS AND THR PONDING BILL. The consternation produced among the capitalists who owh the national banks at the passage in the Senate of the Funding bill, which proposes to cur- tall the immense profits these institutions derive from banking upon the national credit 1s evideaced in the following private circular seat to each bank throughout the country sounding the note of alarm and calling on ail banks to work upon their jocat representatives in the lower bouse of Congress to defeat the bill there, The document ts as folows:— New Yous, Maren M, 1870, To THE NATIONAL BANKS:— ‘the undersigned members of the Executive Com. mittee of the National Banking Assvciation have visited Washinzton for the purpose of expiaiming to members of Congress that ihe eighta section of the Funding bill, reported to the senate by we Piuance Committee of that body, would, Il passed into a law, prove highly injurious, 'if not disastrous, to tne sa- Uerests of national banks; imasmuch as it requires them totake one-third each oj four, four-aad-a-hall and five per cent bonds at par tu gold aod deposit them in the department to secure (heir ¢.reulaung notes. in place of five-twenty and eighty-one bonds issued to tne Union Pacific Railroad, ai: bearing six F cent interest, and in piace also oi the ven-fort; ve per cent bonds, within one year trom the date ol the passage of the act or forteit their right to receive circulating notes. We endeavored tu show members that there could be no profit on circulation to laduce the banks to take the proposed bouda, bearing an average rate of four-and-a-half per cent interest, and therefore ® large portion of tiem, if not ail, would be forced to elther abandon their organizations under the national law and wind Up or organize under State authority, or as private banks. Weare very desirous of seeing the debt of the country funded at a lower rate of interest. and thus diminish the burden of taxauon upon tae peopie, and favoring, as we do, al) the provisions of the bill that are ibe agent designed to effect that 0: we insisted that the provisions of the eiguth secon have no righttul connection with that measure. We plead the injustice of mneking any distinction between banks and other owners Of bonds, and we maintained that they, like others, shouid be left fres to take the bonds or not. We especially protested against the injustice of compelling vanks vo sure render or dispose of bonds which are not due, and the right to hold which, aud to use for the purpose that they are now used, we think they have the piighted faith of the government as a con- sideration for their compliance with the terms of the Nauonal Banking law, Notwithstanding our efforts to the contrary, the bili, with the objectiona- bie section, has passed the Senate. It now goes to the Houso of Representatives, for concurrence, where we shall make an eifort tu have the objecuion- able feature stricken Out, and to that end we need the prompt and efficient assistance of all who are Interested in this important question. We there- fore urge Upon you the necessity oi earnestly appeal- ing to your local represeniatives in Congress and all other representatives, with: whom you may be ac- quainted, to use their eiYoris to so amend bie DIll as to free it from the objections which we have stated and thus preserve to the veople the best banklag gyscem ever adopted in this ur apy ocher country.

Members of the bxecutive Comumitteo, STOCKS IRREGULAR, BUT STRONG AT THE CLOSE, The stock market atthe opening was weak and heavy, and underwent another deciiue in sympathy witn a further break in Pacific Mall to 32, It seems that a prominent German banking house sold some 3,500 shares of the stock for an up-town importing firm, and asthe street got the “pot” that a large amount of “casi” stock was coming out, or nad come out, there was a rush toseil ‘short,’ the result | being the disposal of about five tunes the amount forming the basis of tle aeciive, The nawe of the firm on whose account the stock was sold was bruited about te siret, together with For interest on mutilaved currency on hand, ex- press charges and otuer expenses connected ' Lene fags that they nad joss about $300,000 on it, which, wf tmé, shows a violation on the part of their brokers of a confidence sup- posed to ve sacred in Wall street. Western Union also continued weak and fell of to 3134. The reat of the ust sympathized with this decitne, but the bull cliques contrived later in the day to shake off the incuous of Pacifle Mail, aud tho rest of the list Advanced und closed steady and strony.
