8 ANOTHER CHAPTER OF ERIE. A Shadow of a Great Strategie Movement. THE COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Cruelty at Seu—The Altercd Bond—A Reve— nue Cuse. Before Commissiouer Shields, John Deacon, captain of the steamship Merida, ‘Was brought before Commissioner Shields yesterday to answer a charge of having subjected ‘ihomas H.

Financial circles have been somewhat stirred re- cenuy by @ rumor that the Erie management in- With a view to deter- mune (he importance of such a rumor a HERALD re- porter called at the gilded palace of King Corpora- tion, on Twenty-third street, yesterday to ascertain what the meditated man@uvre amounted to, Every- tended some grand coup. body, however, showed an alacrity of ignorance on the subject, and the main spring, Mr. Gould, went under cover On hearing a HERALD reporter wanted toreview him, and declined giving an audience. ‘The employ:s, taking their cue from the manager, piuifed off all questions, and seemed to move about as mysteriously a3 scouts On @ picket line, Falling to acquire information in that quarter Wall street was next tried with more satisfactory result, There it was learned that if was the intention of the Erie management to create a consolidated mortgage on the property of the company. The following ts WHAT IS PEARED. ‘Tne genius of Fish and Gould has never been more perfectly demonstrated than in the successful way im which they have succeeded in getting through the Legislature acts to perpetuate their control of Erie. The famous Classification bill, which has al- most become a political issue, does not need refer- ence here, Again, at the last Legislature, a bill was introduced granting them the privilege of availing themselves of the legislation of other States into which their franchise extends, the effect of which would have been that even if Mr. Burt had succeeded %m procuring the repeal of the Classification bill in this Stale the present Erie management could have continued their tenure of office by classySng under the law of Pennsylvania. During the same session a bill was introduced, but Dot passed, whereby a majority of the mortgage erediiors of any railroad in this State could obtain control of the road by a summary process of fore- closure, to be followed by the organization of a new corporation under their direction. The HERALD financial article called attention to this bill at the time of its introduction, and suggested that it might be intended to subserve the interests of the present Krie management tn enabling them to strengthen thelr hold upon the road, This notice, however, Tailed at the ume to excite more than the ordinary only comment in financial circles, the general im- Pression then being that the bonded debt of Erie was mostly held by outsiders. Interest in the sub- Ject has, however, been revived by the pubiication in a weekly journal of the following advertise- ment:— Notice in hereby given, as required by law, that it is the in- tention of the Erie Railway Company to create @ consol dated mortgage on the proerty of the company. |. SMITH, Assistant Secretary. This Hepa sedans notice has since appeared in other journals; but tue circumstance of its first publica- tion in a weekly paper, aud one not particularly ad- dressing Itself to the financial world, has increased the curlosity felt as to its precise meaning, THE FUNDED DEBT. 1 ‘The present funded debt of the road is as fol- 10" Classes—Due.

THE MORTGAGE DEBT amounts to $18,367,500, and probably this only, it is believed, would participate in the general consoli- dated mortgage. In this event the Buffalo Branch bonds, and the Engitsh debentures, with all the debt of the company below the fifth mortgage, including stock, both common and preferred, would be in danger of becoming valueless, A RAILROAD COUP D'ETAT. If atany time it suits the convenience of the majori- ty of the mortgagees, which is very likely already the present managewent, to take forever possession ot the road, all taey require todo 1s to fail to pay the interest on the mortgage when due, and then to Joreclose such mortgage. By these proceedings the whole of the stock, common as well as prelerred and all the other indebtedness of.the company would be thrown out, and so the entire property would pass Into their full legal ownership of the holders of such mortgage bonds, who could form a company among themselves, The interpretation put upon the notice given above in Wall street 1s that the entire of this debt of over $23,000,000, which 18 supposed to be now mostly, if not entirely, owned by the present Erie managercn, is to be funded tn one single mortgage, intended to cover the entire property of the Erie way.

SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. The Evergreen Cemetery Litization—A Twelve Years Legal Fight—The action Re- wewed, Betore Jnige Pratt. The Petition of John A. Weisse, of the City of New York, and Wiliam H, Butler, of the City of Brook: tn, in the Mauer of the Evergreen Cenetery.— James Myers, Jr., has concluded his twelve years’ legal ight with the trustees of the Evergreen Cem- etery. Mr. Myerssaid he carried on the fight for twelve years and four months, at am expense to himself of $10,000, sizoply that the rights of the lot owners might be secured. He claims to have accom- plished his object, and, theretore, the Cemetery was to have been sold on the 3d instant, the purchasers to be subject to the laws of 1847 for the regulation of roral cemeteries, On the lstinstant, however, Win- chester Britton, of connsel for the above named petitioners, appeared vefore Judge Pratt and pro- cured ab order postponing the sale anti! after his clients could be heard, ‘The argument was postponed anttl yesterday morn- ing, when Mr. Britton again appeared 10 court with @ most formidadle-lookiug pile of documents. Both petitioners are tiustees, and Mr. Butler is also Pre- sident of the Corporation of the Evergreens. The — snit was commenced for the purpose of hay- ing the sale postponed until the petitioners should be satisfied that their rights would be protected. in their petition they allege that the, receiver had agreed to pay Jumes Myers, Jr., the sum Of $5,000 out of the proceeds of the sale, on condition that he Would: discontinue his opposition to the proposed sale. It was also alleged that no other creditor or lot owner had notice of the sale, which was fixed for a time when all persons who would be likely to bi Jair price for tue property were away in thé country. They estimated that the property is worth about $1,500,000, and no provision appeared to have been made, either by advertising or otherwise, to give Proper publicity to so important a sale, ey moved that the orders of June 15, 1868, and 18th of June, 1970, made at the Special Terms of the Supreme Court, directing the sale to be made, be set aside, on the grouna that the receiver and trustees should, tm the first place, account for the moneys re- ceived by them in thetr official capacity, the same to be applied, and a rehearing had as to the claims against the corporasian of the Evergreen, before tts property 1s sold. It was also moved that the order of Juae 15, 1668, confirming the referee’s i, Ol recting the sale to be made, be set aside in alle- gation that Its provisions have been superseded and rendered inapplicable by the act of the Legislature, of April 23, 1870, and also on the ground tnat the der was unconstitutional, belug made ex parte and without notice having been given to any one. The petitioners alleged that the sale was not neces- fary, as the receiver had, or ought to have, sufiicieut mouev in his possession, subject to the order of the Court, to Hquidate all the legitimate and valid debts agamst the Cemetery, which only amounted to about $29,000, General Crooke and James Maurice saneasst on behalf of the Corporation. An affidavit was read by Mr. Maurice alleging that no proof ap) that either of the petitioners was a plot owner, cee am H, neither of them was 8 trustee, and that Will Butler was not the President of the Corporation. Mr. Britton said there could be no doubt about the petitioners being lot owners. Mr. Maurice had charge of the books, and must theretore be well aware of the fact, Counsel on both sides then argued at great jength the different points In laws of 1847 tor the regulation of rural cemeteries, and also reviewed the liuga- tion in which the Cemetery has been inveived for so many years.

Some enterprising Yankee sent in a communica- tion saying he had a stock of yellow pine on hand which he was desirous to sell, and which he felt con- vinced the Dock Commissioners couldn’t well get on without. A QUESTION OF PRIVATE INTERESTS. Several communications were received in relation to private interests in connection with various wharves and piers. Commissioner HENRY, commenting upon one of the lettars received from the owner of some boilers oc- cupying the best part. of the space on pier No. 69 Hast river, protested against the obstruction of piers and wharves by private parties for their own con- venlence and to the detriment of that of the public. ‘These encuinbrances were pecomiak a grea nul- Sance and inconvenience, and he wished mediate and decisive measures might be taken In the matier, They must have the docks clear, ana he moved that the Superintendent be directed Ww remove the ob structions at once. Commissioner Wood offered a resolution that the Dock Superintendents be directed to notify alt per- sons Who may at present be charged with encum- bering any oi the docks or piers to cease from doing 80, ahd that after the 15th of September any viola- tion in this regard shall be met bya penalty, Commissioner Henry moved an amendment that the penalty for eucumbering the docks be putin forue at once after the said notification be given, which Was agreed to, A ORYING NUISANCE.

Tne Committee on the State of the Order, to Whom was referred the decisions of the Grand Master during the past year, reported in favor of affirming the lollowing, Wh.ch was so done:— #urst—Can a brother belonging to a lodge in dis- triet hold the office of Noble Grand of a degree lodge In another, Answer—Yes, provided he is a member of sald degree lodge.

Arrest of Another of Cauby’s Sheriffs for Embezziement—He Makes an Arrest as Depety United States Marshal While a Prisoner—The State Prisoner is Committed and the RICHMOND, August 17, 1870. Wham Leahey, late military sheriff of Pittsyiva- nia county, who was removed from that office under the operation of the enabling act passed by the Legislature, was indicted by the Grand Jury of the county for embezzling tne public funds to the amount of $9,400. His accounts up to the present remain unsettled, and @ commission appointed by tne court found him a defaulter in the above amount. It was while the investigation of these accounts was pending that the arrest was made: but Leahey, denying the legality 0: his arrest, re- fused to give bail, and was accordingly comuitted to jail. ‘The strangest feature of the matter is that Leahey is now a deputy Unitea States marshai; that at the time of bis arrest he had in his possession a Warrant for the apprehension of © man named Keesee for illicit distilling. ‘Chis Jatter party was preseut in the Court House when Leahey was placed under arrest, immediately after which he arrested Keesee and held blm as a United States prisoner. When Leahey was committed to jail he still held on to his prisoner, and @ crowd of rs0ns followed the State prisoner with his United States prisoner. Arriving at the jall quite @ scene took place, The jailer recetved & commitment for one prisoner only, and that was Leahey; but he stoutly lnsisted on taking his prisoner in With bim. ‘This the jailer refused, a8 he had no authority to hoid Keesee, the United States prisoner. After con- siderable wrangling among the omcers, the jalier and Leahey, the latter was ut length torced into the A short ume alterwards the friends of Leahey tendered bail, which was accepted, and he was reieased in the sum of $10,000; but he has not succeeded in rearrest- mg his prisoper. Leahey alleges that the friends of Keesee rashed upon him at the jail and reseued huis prisoner. COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATION, A Little Salary Question—That Lanatic Asy- fum—Emigration Falling Off—The Labor Burean. ‘The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday afternoon, Richard O'Gorman in the chair. In relation to the matter uf the letter concerning a certain actor, and purporting to have heen signed by Mr. Wells, the Superintendent of Ward's Island, the official letter to him from Mr. Casserly was read, also Mr. Wella’ reply, in which he stated that the Jetter was a private one, and that it was published ina garbled manner, The subject was referred to the Ward's Island Committee. A resolution that all contracts pass through the hands of the Attorney of the Board, to be approved before awardea, was adopted. On motion it was resolved that the Bullding Com- mittee submit to the Board a statement as to how tauch the new Lunatic Asylum will cost. Commissioner LyNos said the architect believed the total cost would be sbout $300,000, He did not like procrastination in the matter; for the war would be over tu two days--(iaughrer)—and then We'd have an influx of crazy Dutchmen and Frenchmen and Irishmen. 1 was resoived that the committee should make a report at the next meet- ing of the Board. it was moved that the salary of Dr. Jono Dwyer should be, alter the Ist of September, $3,000 per annum; but Comroisstoner WAaLLACK objected ro the increase on the ground that emigration was diminishing. H Commissioner LyNcu said if that was the case the | Commissioners should dispense with the services of | the German gentleman appointed at a salary of $2,500 to offictate in the lunatic asyium, The resolu- ‘ion was passed, The Finance Committee made the following re- Lapse r= since Angust 4, $17,049; dispurse- ments, $23,434; balance on hand, $33,129. Tt was moved that the Superintendent of the Labor | Bureau shoula be held strictly accountabie for the faithful carrying ont of the rules of the Board tn re- | jation to the bureau. H Mr. WALLAOH remarked that if the rules were made too stringent in regard \o recommendations hemng required from employers the business of the | bureau Inight be injured. The employers might then ask whether the Commisstoners could furnish each applicant for a situation with a recommenda- tion of character. ‘The rosolution was carried. Mr. O'GORMAN, curing the discussion, said that if the Police Commissioners would lend them the services of a good detective at the Castie Garden, much of the danger of letting out servants to per- sons of no character would be done away with. A long report from the committee was read in re- lation to the fact what the President of the Broadway | Bank had agreed to pay four and a-haif per cent in- terest on the deposits of the Board. The report was referred to the Finance Committee, ‘The following report was also handed in:— Number of aliep passengers arrived to August 11, 1870 sees 153,024 Number from August 11 to 18. 8,436 AVA TEC ie. 55 otis Wi. 157,080 For the Same date in 1 side ceden teste sg JROEIOE Passengers arrived to date, manifests not handed in..... 1,297 RECHIPTS 4 Balance in Bani Aggregate rec i Received August 4 to August 14,, $79, THAR.S..2.5 Disbursements 4 per account to August 4.....
