Briggs kept the larger part of the spares in their own nanus, and the rest were sold to Iriends of the moveni and to the work people, arrangements being made by means of share clubs to enabie the latter to pay up their shareg by small weekly instalments, so great Was the suspicion among the men that, aithough the matier was thoroughly talked over wiih them and explained, scarcely oue of them would take a share, Messrs. Briggs, for te | sake of convenience, made it a condiuon of sharing in whatever bonus mignt be earned that each workmau should take out a penny book, in which the amount earned by him aud apon which therefore bonus should be payable should be en- tered by the proper clerk at the end of each week. Only about one-tenth of the vu work people employed took the trouble to take out this pook. However, the Jeaders were determined to give the scheme 4a fair trial, aud accordingly, though there were many threatenings, no strike took place during the first year, At ie end of that ume it was tound that, afier putting aside a reserve fund of several thousand pounds, something more than thirteen per cent had been made onthe whoie capital, and there was accord- ingly @ sum of more than titeen hundred pounds 10 the following resolutioas were proposed:— Whereas there will be eubmnitted to the people at the com- sng ection, November 8, in this State, the question whether | the canais and general fund debts shall ne extended wo us | lo permit 4 reduction of the tolls on our State canals, eaulved.

At the present rate of demand—the supply, | however, not being equal—the claimants on the mod- ‘ern Anneke Jans bequests may, after a time, rival in strength and numbers the famous ‘Trinity church estate hunters, The newest phase to the litigat.on started some six months ago took formal and legal shape yesterday in the Supreme Court, Special Term, before Judge Barnard, in a sult brought by Stephen | Jumel Jones, and a host of Joneses, against Nelson | Chase and overs. | The interest felt in vhis case, not alone from the | immorzlly historic associations connected with | Madame Jumel and the large amount of property | involved tn the snit, which is now estimated at over three milltons of dollars, but from the fact that this is the last case in which Charles O’Conor proposes to professionally appear, drew together a large axzsemblage in the court room yesterday, including a very general sprinkling of the leading tights of the New York bar. Mr. O Conor showed very little traces of his recent serious Indisposition, but when he had | occasion to rise and speak, which, however, was only once or twice, and then but trifling, stood as ! pron dty erect as in-his palmiest days; his cyes were as Keenly brilliant as ever, and the words caine from | his ps with that caustic energy and withering | power of expression that have crowned with sach glowing splendor of renown his greatest efforts as a special pleader. As to the Count Johannes, the counsel for the plaintiifs, he was in a blaze of eiful- gent glory, which was mace more giorious by an | Unusual claboration of his very carciui tonet, | WHY THE SUIT 1S BROUGHT, | The e as is well known, 18 an’ action brought by the heirs of Maria Jones, sister of Madame Jumel, Ww set aside the agreement made by them win Nelaon Chase, conveying ther interest in Madame | Jumel’s esiate to Mr, Chase for $40,000, the ground | 01 action beimg that the Jatter aj the ume of making the agreement Was their atiorney aud tat he de- | ceived them as to the characier of the paper they signed, ali of which is denied by the cefendants. A LONG JOB UP READING. Count Johannes opened the proceedings by read- ing his complaint, & document of preternatural jegai Jengih requuing two hours to read. ‘This did exnanst the Count. however, for directly after- wards, as Mr. O'Conor did not think it worth while fo read his answer to the complaint, he read this also, cons ming Learly another hour, | ‘The gust of these ponderously elaborate documents is Was in ihe former the most flagrant fraud 1s charged upon Mr. Chase, and that in the iabter each and every specise allegation is denied. j ‘THE 0) ENING SPKEUH. i And still the Count was untiring. He entered | upon his opening with seeming fresh vigor. ‘This | | Opening was biographical, historic, | eulogistic, poetic, impassioned and rhapsodic—in fact, going throngh ali the alternating changes of the most di- verse schools of oratory, With skilied specimens of bis pecullar power at mimicry thrown in as pleasing | Inte ludes. The biogra) hic embraced a sketch of the tamily histories of Madame Jumel and that por- tion of the Joues family Whose names appear ' gs plaintivs in the case; the historic ran all the way through trom autediiuvian times; the eulogistio was when he compared the Judge to Paul of Tarsus, at Cesarea; the poetic gleamed jike sabres flashing in the sunlight; the impassioned was when bathos ang pathos struggled for the mastery, and the rhap- sodic the peroration, where he grew greatly and almost teariulily agonizing over the divine attri- butes of justice, His munic representations in- cluded the litigants on both sides and the oppos- ing counsel, who smiled at them or at the Count, i was impossibie to tell which, a8 hearuly as. the rest. During the specch he alluded to what ne alleged as stuzular coincidences, William Jones, the plaintiff, he said, was born on the day of the battle of Bunker Hill, The present action was com- } Iienced ou the anniversary of the battic of Lexing- | ton, and Nelson Chase, the deleadant, was named | | alcer the naval hero Nelson, the anniversary of | Whose death was vesterday, the bind day the trial | began, It would require several columns to iojow him through his logical coeentricitios, But as there must come an end to everything, 8o | there did to is speech. At its conclusion the Court, to give time for recuperatioa, not to the Count, for | he seemed as fresit as when he began, but to itself | aul the crowd present, ordered a recess for half an 1a A WITNESS CALLED. On the reassembling of the court a witness was called in the person of Mr, Chariea D. Covert, He tesutled that in June, 1867, he negotiated with Nelson | Chase tor (he purchase of real estate at the corner of Forty-second street aud Seventh avenue. le did not know that this paige Was @ part of the Jumei estate. He believed Mr. Chase, from what he sald, to be the sole owner of the estate. Mr. Chase’s name was signed to it, Mr. Chase did not say he was Une agent of any one. He paid Mr. Chase $21,000 for the property, anda would not have paid him unless he supposed him to be the owner. DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. The papers were submitted in evidence upon which payments of $45,000 ana $210,220 were alleged. to nave been made by the Comptroller to Mr. Chase for purchases made by the city of portions of the Juniei estate, upon representations set forin in the same that he was the sole owner of the estate. THE COURT SAYS A WORD. The Judge, who thus far during the proceedings had kept himself puay whittling, new interposed a few words upon tne theory of the prosecution. The | object, he juuged, was to prove that the plainvifts were nearest of Kin to Madame Jumel, and. that the deed ov release obtained from them by Mr. Chase was by fraud, el'her by suppression ot facts or statement sof facts untrue, or by trick or device, and that the considefation was whoily inadequate to the alleged purchase. Tie Coant confirmed this theory of | the prosecution, and as a next step offered as further documentary evidence the testimony taken in the suit to break Madame Jumel’s will. TILT BETWEEN COUNSEL. Mr. O’Conor was asked if he had anything to say bg ead in as evidence the testimony on the will trial, 6 “T have nothing to say,” very quietly replied Mr. Conor, You can’t say anything,” spoke up the Count wita flery vehemence; “you took salvage of five per | centon the making of that will; you got fi(ty thou- | sand dollars for your part of the work.” nal’s a le, ith coolly impassive deliberation | answered Mr, O’Conor, rising to iis feet, “like many Ee tier lies that have been uttered by the counsel to- any.” ai have been told so,” interrupted the Count. | __“L don't believe you ever were teid so,” retorted | Mr. O’conor, tarning round and with his keenly pier- | cing eyes looking at the Count, who seemed as | though he would wither under his penetrating | faze.’ It is a story of your own making.” “+I have seen 1t it the papers,” uttered the Count.” “No such thing, or { should have heard of it,” answered Mr. O’Conor. ‘No such stigma has ever been cast upon my professional life, and none never will.” “I am happy to hear the imputation denied,” | apologeticaily interposed the Count, and the matter dropped. Peg MOTION FOR A REFEREE. | Next in the stage of proceedings the Count read an allidavit, setting forth the line. of three of his nts and their inability to attend the trial, and | thereon moved that their testimomy be taken before | areferee, Another client could not be found. PY O’Gonor strenuously objected to this as an entire deviation from the usual course and in viola- tion of law. The Judge said he knew of no authority after a trial had commenced ot reterring to a referee, Mr. O’Conor insisted that the plaimtiffs had not made out a shadow of a case, The counsel when | the case came on for trial said he was ready, and | now he not ready. He had examined one wit- ness oniy and neither of his clieuts was present. Jt wouid seem that the parties with whom he was {| brought m_ consultation were made sick or else ran away to get away from him. The case re- minded him of a lawyer who, a few years ago, was | Practising in Oneida county, in this State. He was | counsei for or against every man, woman and child, He all by tne ears by his cross sults. The people conciuded to make coimmon cause, and so all ran | away, and the lawyer woke up in the morning to fina the grocery shut, and the post oitice shut, and every Pine shut up and everybody gone. Tt was so ‘vith the counsul’s clients in tins case. The truth was there was no basis for action. The plain- tiffs nad no claims against them, and it was not a | case justifying extraordinary remedies, |! The Count quoted a case before Lord Lyndhurst, ‘ and insisted that the client who had run away had done so because he had been bribed by the other side Lo keep out of the way.

The following day we were furnished with two wagons, and iu this man- ner he conducted us to within 4 quarter of a league from the rancho of Lotito, where we encamped to wait for General Kocha. Consequently we were sur- rounded by a triple guard of geudarmes and senti- nels until twelve.

Andres Martinez was wounded, and yet they bad not tie least consideration ior him. 1s uve us the idea of writing a letier to Gerommmo Trevifio, giving him thanks for lis behaviur; he surely comprenended the irony, because our situa- tion grew worse from that moment, and every day new means of tormenting us were inveuted, We arrived at Monterey, alighted frum the wagons atthe gate of the city, and aiterwards, preceeded by a band of music, We were made to pass through all the streets, wading in mud up io our knees. ‘e all became muddy and wet; iortuaately, our march served most admirably to move the vopulace, and, in consequence, we heard On al] sides compassionate and consoling words; wherever we passed we saw unmistakable signs of sympathy which misfortune inspires, At last we were taken to a house and were given @ room with all the conditions of a good prison. For a greater benefit we haa a window on the street, With iron grating, Wich gave us the ap- pearance of some fervcious beasts placed on exnibition.

The Officers made 2 paper balloon anu we were teld that we could not be permitted to dedicate our time to aerostatic sports. Ten dollars were sentto a com- anion and we were told that they had an order hat we should have no mouey. We asked if we could write to our familles, and the condition was Imposed that our letters had to pass tue inspection of Geronimo Trevitio. Some letters of Andrés Martinez. which did not com- ply with this condition, and wiich liad been confided to the loyalty of Gen.

We prepared little » by little, until the arrival of General Kucha compelled us to act, since with mus arrival we learued through an infallibie channel that the following day we would be executed. Resolved to do the whole or nothing, and supplied with ropes, we made the at- tempt when our companions were at supper.
