AND TTS PONISHMERT. Garroters and Highway Robbers Rampant. Judge Bedford’s Work of Repression and Ex- termination—Sentences. ‘The proceedings of the General Sessions yesterday Ought to furnish wholesome lessons to the thieving Sraternity, for the prompt and severe administration of the law by Judge Bedford, when professional ana ‘hardened criminals are found gutlty upon anmis- takable proof, ts calculated to inspire the garroters and burglars with fear and honest citizens with In- creasing confidence that their lives and property ‘Will be well protected by the authorities. A HIGHWAY ROBBER SENTENCED. ‘The first case called On for trial by Assistant Dis- ‘trict ‘Attorncy Tweed was an indictment for high- ‘way robbery against John Farrell, who was jointly indicted with Thomas Murphy and Patrick Maloney, It would appear from the reeords of crime furnishea ‘by the police magistrates to the District Attorney, ‘im the shape of complaints for the action of the Grand Jury, that the. heinons offence of highway -Pobbery has been greatly on the increase of late, Making it udssfe for citizens returning from ‘places of amusement or from social calls ‘wo be in the streets after ten o’stock at Might. Thero have. deen no less than twelve cases of garroting during the present term of tho court, Itisto be hoped that hereafter Jurors will Not stultify themselves, as they did in two instances this week, through mistaken sympathy, by recom- mending midnight robbers to mercy, thus freetrat- ‘mg the vigorous efforts which the prosecuting authorities and yudge Bedford are now putting forth to stop the throwing of and knocking down and Tobbing of peaceable citizens in the streets on the ‘Way to their homes, The evidence upon wiich the jury in Farrell’s case rendered such a prompt and righteous verdict was, that David W. Fitzgerald, who lives ‘at No. 14 Thames street, was standing at his own dooron ‘the 15th of December, at ten o’clock in the evening, and was about proceeding to put up his shutters when Farrell, Murphy and Maloney, all personally known to him, came down the street. Farrell sald nothing, but immediately caught Mr. Fitzgerald and Ppinioned his arms, and while holding him in that po- sition Maloney stole a gold watch. The robbers ran away and the complainant proceeded without delay to Jodge his complaint at the station house, Oficer Hassen testified that te arrested Farrell a week after the robbery at a ball in the Union Assembly Rooms, An Elizabeth street. ‘The prisoner’s counsel, Mr. McCieliand, offered to interpose a plea of guilty, but to avoid any advan- tage being taken of legal technicalities the Judge directed the jury to render a verdict of guilty of rob- bery in the first degree, y After the rendition of the verdict the City Judge instituted inquiries as to the prisoner’s antece- dents... Oficer Dunn sald that Farrell belonged to a bad gang of thieves, and he heard from young men in the ward that he carried a knife. OMcer Hassen furnished the additional fact that he arrested the prisoner a year ago for larceny from ‘the person. 3 Judge Bedford, in passing sentence, said:—<‘Par- Tell, you are an ex-convict, and oificers Dunn and Hassen tell me that you are a dangerons man. The calendars of the Oyer and Terminer and of this presented twelve cases of lighway robbery, thus Scablishing the fact. that ghway roobety.— is again beco! valent, and is nightly practised dn our midst, I take this opportunity of saying (and My sole object in so doing is to throw a mantie of protection over the law-abiding citizens) that every ‘Maen legitimately convicted of this daring out ent fuli and equal happily for this commu- nity, ends to-day, at least, for a long time. ears in the State Prison,”” is Tt ts to be hi that this Lg and just vindl- wi the desired cation of the law will have effect, At @ny rate, Farrell, a well known garroter, has ‘Deen for the next fifteen years, which mn ‘will, undoubtedly, go far to break up garroting. & CONFIDENCE MAN DISPOSED OF—THE CASE OF JOHN HARRY, The next case dis} d of by the jury was equally important with the former; for lt was one ofa class of offences constantly occurring by which honest men are victimized by cunning aud fraudulent misrepre- sentations, The name of the accused was John Harry, who, it appeared from the testimony of the complaining ‘witness, Philip Weckesser, called at his lager beer saloon, No. 72 Greene street, on the 6th of iast Sep- tember, add heard that Mr. Weckesser was desirous of selling his place. They conversed for a while and fnaily struck a bargain, Harry agreeing to pay him the sam of $215 for the good will, the igor beer, the furniture and the glasses in tne es- lishment, putting two ,dollars dgwn to seal the ‘contract, which he had the audacity to borrow from @ poor man. Mr. Weckesser felt very comfortable after effecting the sale of his place, for, as he ad- Miltted on the stand, for some reason or other, the denizens of Greene street did not often frequent his saloon to quaif the foaming lager; in a word, the place didn't pay. The prisoner did not hand down eash coin or greenbacks, but, on the contrary, handed Mr. Weckesser a’ check for the amount, drawn on the Germania Bank. Our happy Tentonic fend tripped along with nimble feet to the bank, bat to his surprise he learned, on presenting the — Oe payment, that there were no funds to meet i Mr. Breneman, the cashier of the bank, testified that the prisoner never had an account there, and that about the time the check in question was pre- sented five similar checks, drawn by the prisoner, were offered to him. OMicer Hesse testified that he arrested Harry and ‘was proceeding to impart the significant informa- tion to the court and jury that Mr. Harry’s leading idiosyncrasy was going around purehasing lager beer saloons and tendering in payment therefor fraudulent check,s when the counsel for the prisoner interposed a technical objection to the proof. bs ERDICT. The jury rendcred a verdict of guilty, and when Harry was asked what he had to why he should nat be sentenced, not only denied that lie presented acheck for $500 under shnilar circumstances, but Protested that he was innocent, Judge Beuford iunposet the highest perehy: that could be given for the offence of which he was con- victed—three years in the State Prison. A DARING BURGLAR CONVICTED AND SENTENCED. ‘The next case on the calendar was a charge of durglary in the third degree, and the accused, Wt!- liam Gordon, demanded @ triai. It appeared from the evidence adduced by the prosecution that Mr. John Patterson, who keeps a tailoring establishment at No, 292 Sixth avenne, was aroused out of his slumbers very early in the morning of the 30th of December by a muilied sound, as if somebody was striking at a door or shutter. He got out of hed and ran to the rear window ana saw three men leaping over the fence towards Eighteenth street. He gave the alarm there, while ms wife ran to the front and called for the police, Six oilicers_ responded imme- diately to the cail, Omicer Castle caught Gordon comitig down the stairs of the premises’ adjoining, from which there was a door leading into the yard, where a large bundle of burglars’ implements was subsequently found, such as heavy iron screws, large ‘yimmues,”’ &c. In a pea jacket hanging upon a clothesitne were found a lot of picks, and when the prizoner was searched a brass skeleton key was found In bis pocket. The prisoner accounted for his presence at the scene of the burglary by saying that he was visiting his “friend Johnson” that night, and hearing the cry of ‘watch and murder,” and seeing a door open, he naturally went in to render assistance. ‘The jury did not believe his: plausible story, prin- ir. Joanson” did not lly for the reason that ‘¢ “turn up” to corroborate him, and rendered a ver- Gict of guilty without leaving their seats. “34 Bedford said that he concurred with the Jury quickly rend verdict, adding that the time had come when the authorities must act promptly im dispesing of criminals. ion was sen! to the full ty—five years in the State Prison. GRAND LARCENY. John T. Kline was tried aud convicted of grand larceny, he having, on the 26th ot December, stolen two coats and other articles of clothing from Wil- liam E. Graf, No. 198 Kast Broadway. ‘Two police oficers went tu the prisoner’s room in_ Division street on the following cop and found the stolen property secreted in his room. The Judge, having been informed by the oMcers ‘that Kline was a thet, sent him to Sing Sing for five yeais. Tee Criminal Calendar in the Court of Oyer and Termiver. ‘The business in the Court of Oyer and Terminer ‘Was resumed yesterday before Judge Cardozo. There “were'neveral cases tried, the court room being, as osual, crowded With the relatives, friends ana “pais” of the prisoners. SENTENCED TO THE ISLAND.

THE NEW JERS«Y SENATORSHIP, The Candidates in tho Field=Frelinghuysen the Popular Caudidate—Cornelius Walsh His Strongest Compotitor—Other Candidates— General Review of the Field. TRENTON, Jan. 13, 1871, Tho adjournment of the Legislature here has caused a temporary lull in the Senatorial struggle, and this affords @ good opportuntty to survey the field and collect some data upon which to base the Judgment upon the probable issue. Were the dis- cussion left directly to the people the result of the contest might be the same, while its present aspect would be widely different. In this case the con- testantg would pe reduced to three—Dudley J. Gregory, first Mayor of Jersey City, identified witb all the public improvements in the State, a gentleman of wealth and culture and a firm and uncompromising repubilcan; Cortlandt Parker, a jurist, a scholar and a radical of the ex- treme order, and Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, who stands in the front rank of the lawyers and statesmen of the country. These three genticmen are all well anu widely known throuzhout the State, and are ail above and beyond reproach. The first of these gentlemen came Inte into the field, and his friends rely for his strength upon an almost indefinable, though pervasive, feeling against the absorption of all legislative offices by the slawyer class” of statesmen. Of Mr. Parker nothing can be satd m depreciation of his qualifica- tions as @ scholar and a gentleman, but a8 @ politician he is here considered im- practicable, and Jersey republicans cannot forget that he was preaitens 6! that ultra convention which placed the State beyond the battle-line of tne party and ave the Legislature to the democrats. iS linghuysen ts, perhaps, better kuown than any other party man in whe te. Durtug his short career in the United States Senate he at once took rank among the foremost debaters and ablest states- men of that body, and the desire to give him an op- portunity for a more extended exercise of his great abfiities 1880 universal throughout the State that if the Judgment of the people of New Jersey could be taken at the ballot box he would un- aoubtedly distance all of his competitors, Bat the people do not elect United States Senators, and before the Legislature there stands fourth candidate in the person of iitus Walsh. Mr. Walsh is an Englishman who, by sturdy industry and thrift, has accumulated a large fortune, and though not well known to the pe at large has an extensive acquaintance among the politicians by reason of his liberality during poll contests in the State. Tnis was most conspicuously manifested in the late election, and though his enemies claim that he placed his Money in districts where it was least needed, it was done in such 9 wi hed secure the assistance of ‘Assem! from t districts, “which accounts for the fact of his “support coming mataly from sections most distant from his residence.” He is ardently supported in the lobby by mi disap- pointed politicians, who are nursing vague hopes of preferment if tuey can effect a chi in the deal, and undoubtedly he is to-day Mr. ‘linghuysen’s sturdiest competitor. His chances will Nee 4 weaken by delay in consequence of the anticipate: complications arising out of the Alabama claims, It is thought by many that in view of such a con- tingency a native American is needed. Again, a feeling of State pride is beginning to influence the people. They are anxious to have a man to repre- sent them at Washington who will need no intro- duction to the country. It is possible, nowever, that the supporters of these two prominent con- vestants may be so evenly balanced and unyielding as to cause a deadlock, and thereby ensure the elec- tion of Mr. Parker or Mr, Gregery, or, perhaps, of some man not heretofore spokeo of. 1 will advise you in @ few days of any new develop- ments in the situation. THE “BOURBON” BUSINESS, Continuation of the Whiskey Raid ia Brook- lyn—Second Day’s Operations—New stills in New Places—The Army Masters of the Situation. 7 The whiskey raid in the Fi(teenth ward of Brook- lyn was resumed at an early hour yesterday morn- ing and continued throughout the day. Portions of stils were discovered in every conceivable place, and all that. was of any particnlar value was carted to the Navy Yara, where it will be sold by the government. Only fifteen barrels of Wiclt whiskey were found. This was discovered at the old distillery of Whitney & Oo., in Marshali street. A detachment of men proceeded to convey the whiskey te a place of safety, when F AN BXCITED MOB suddenly appeared, surrounded the truck and ent the ropes. One of the barrels tumbied off and was burst. A smail still was found on poard of a canal boat at the foot of Washington street, This was towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. About ten o’clock In the morning General Jourdan, accompanied by Colonel Broome, Captain Selvage, Colonel Connoliy and an escort of military, took a tour through the places which had been seized and destroyed the day previous. ‘There had been no at- tempt on the part of the owners to repair damages. TWO NEW DISTILLERIES Were discovered in John street, near Jay, and they shared the fate of the others, fn one of these estab- lishmeuts were found five large tubs, and in the other nine, ail full of the fermenting liquor, and each having @ capacity of 1,200 to 1,300 gallons. The tubs were made of oak, the shed was made of new lumber, and everything was of the best material and workmanship, The mash was pumped into the street by means of a hand fire the tubs were cut to pieces, and the entire establishment lcvelled to the ground. While the laborers were at work some men, secreted in an adjoiming hor THREW SEVERAL BRICKS oo We CKS . at them, but, fortunately, no skulls were fractured. A detachment of the First artillery cleared the place, but no arrests were made. A F still, havin; capacity of about twenty-five Sena a day, was also found near these pre! Forty-four h¢ of mash were found in a warehonse at the corner of Jay and John sireets, and these were destroyed. CHINESE STATISTICS IN CALIFORNIA. The Dauger of the Asintic Deluge. A recent examination of the Custom House re- cords at San Francisco shows that in the three years from the Ist of January, 1! to the let of January, 1865, 13,275 Chinese arrived at that port; 78 of these ee teers peed meni ta being divided as fol- jows:— rers, 291 mechanics, m4 ete lpia a shoemake! <% male. 1 and 27 females; in 1868, 0,663 mates andi in 1869, 12,830 males and 1,542 femaies; and in the first nthe ‘months of the wise Year, 938 males and 633 females, Fro! a September 1, 1870, there departed from ‘Sait Francisco for China 18,904 Chinese.

M. Fairfax, an officer of high standing and re- spectability in the navy, comes in good time to con- tradict the false and wilful misrepresentatioas which are constantly appearing in the papers, with the sole object of exciting and prejudicing the public mind against an officer who has always studied the best interests of the naval service and bis country, In- Stead of belng influenced by those who seek to gratify only their personal ambition and advance. ment, and have resorted to dishonorable means to injure and misrepresent him in the eyes of the pub- lic. And when his enemies are so influenced by their malignant and vindictive feelings, and resort to such base and underhand means in order to pre- judice public opinion, It cannot be expected that the truth will be found in their statemenis against the oficer who has performed his duties so faithfully to his country ana creditably to himself, Admiral Porter's record in the navy of the United S tates as a naval oficer is second to Bo one, and ti skrill, ability, courage, perseverance and loyalty d played by hin during the late war cannot be dis- uted, Mis excellent judgment and thorough kuow- jeige of his proiession gave those associated with him under bis command periect confidence in his abillty as a commander; and in the memoruble fight with the forts beiow New Orleans 1 is a well-known fact that Porter was mdefatigable and untiring in his exertions, from the commencement to the end- ing of that successiul battic. Porter not only got his mortar fleet of twenty odd vessels, which he com- m anded, safely up to the attack upon {he forts, but ent and ¢ Mis personal services to Farragut to sist In getting ns squadron over the bar at the mouth of ihe Mississippi river, and, with Parrague’s consent, piloted the heavy abies of the fleet over the bar, and then, by his abie services, Farragut’ssquad- ron was, afier a work of days, gotten into the Mis- sissippr river, Which seemed at first almost impos- Bibie, owing to the shallowness of the water. We all know how cheerfully and encouragingly Porter worked with us, how matifuly, how squarely he faced the work during the seven days, at_ night and day, fgating with lis mortar feet, how con- siantly and anxiously Farragut sought his couusel- ings, and how harmoniously they acted im concert. We also remember the first attack and passage of the Vicksburg batteries, the part Porter took in i, the consultations between Farragut and himseif, and the very Kindly feelings existing between them, Porter was a stirring spirit among u 1 we felt Farragut and liimself to iead us we could fight the enemy to the best advan- es I whenever we shonid meet them. itis. Weil Known fact that through the influence of Commodore Porter, father of the present Admi- ral, Admiral Farragut recetved his appointment as midshipman in the navy, and that the Commodore was @ good friend to him;and it is equally well known that his son, Admiral Porver, was so iriendly to Farragut as to suggest ats appointment to the command of the feet on the attack of New Orieans. ‘These facts all show how utterly untrue the repor ts to the contrary are. During the time Porter was m command, from the beginning to the ending of the rebellion, both on the Mississippi river and the Atlantic coast, meeting Witn success in all his undertakings, he gave entre Satistaction to the country, and bis achievements were heralded with pride, and he proved himself worthy and capable of filling the highest position in the navy.

Question of Practice in Baukruptcy—Edward Benjamin, Assignee, Appellant, vs, Julins Hart, Appellee. Before Judge Blatchford, This was a question affecting proceedings upon an appeal in equity from a decree of the District Court, in Bankruptcy, to the Circuit Court. The decree was granted on the 29th of December last, and ac- cording to the ruies under the Bankruptcy act the appeal should have been taken within ten days from the granting of the decree and a bond given at the same time. The ten days clapsed on Monday last, and up to that time po appeal bad been taken or bond given. Yesterday the parties appeared before Commissioner Osborn and jusiitied on a bond be- fore him; but counsel for the appellee objected to the forin of the bona, it betng headed “District Court of the United States,” Instead of Circuit Court. ‘The bond was, therefore, entirely invalid, WConnsel for the appellant claimed that ‘four days? notice of the appeal had been given, and that on the loth of January one of the parties to tue bond ap- peared before the Commissioner and justified, whue the other was anadle to do so until yesterday. Counsel claimed that he had followed the rules and regulations of the court, and such information as he had received from the officials, to whom this practice of »ppeal was new. The Judge said that counsel was mistaken as to the practice. He must issue the appeal, stay and bond within ten days from the granting of the appeal, exclusive of Sundays, if he wished that stay. The Court had no power to dispense with a Piaciton on appeals which was regulated by statute. le would, however, look at such papers as counsel might lay before im. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Arrest of an Alleged Counterfeiter—Impar- tant Case. Before Commissioner Osborn. Lewis Myers, aman apparently of German birth, pale and sad-looking, wearing a handsome gold ring, was brought before the Commissioner yester- day morning on charge of passing ten and t wenty dollar counterfeit bills of the Farmers and Manufac- varers’? National Bank of Poughkeepsie. Tne prisoner was arrested on Thursday night, in the Twenty-eighth police precinct, by detectives Snow- den dnd Loftng and Captain McDonnell. At the time he was taken into custody he declared that he was one of Colonel Whitley’s men. Tne statement of Colonel Whitley is to the effect that not long singe the prisoner communicated to him that he would send him a respectaple man whom ne would introduce among a gang of ‘‘shovers’’ for the purpose of Stopping their operations and bringing them to justice. The Colonel told him to goon and do the best ne could in the manner proposed, as it seemed to him to be the only way of reaching the gang, whose practices have resulted in doing vast injury to the community, bs the unlettered portion of it, who are gene- rally singled outas tbe victims of these heartless counterfeiters. Colonel Whitley further states that Myers bas never been employed under him as an oMcer of the Secret Service Department; that he merely made use of the man’s Information for the ob- ject stated, and that he is now determined to prose- cute the accused to the full extent of the law. It a Pears that political Influence is inoperative in o! taining appointments on Colonel Whitiey’s stafl—so the Colonel states; that they must be respectable, honest, well conducted men, and highly recom- Pee totally apart from ali political considera- jons. Yesterday when the case was called for examina- tion Mr. Robert N. Walte appeared as counsel for the prisoner. It was at first anderstood that an ex- amination would be waived and the case sent dl- rectly to the Grand Jury, which was in session, but @ question having arisen as to bail, the Commis- sioner fixed Wednesday next for the examination and the bail at $10,000, ln default the prisoner was sent to jail. Charge of Desertion from a British Ship. Before Commissioner J. A, Shields. The case of William Fielder, who haa been charged by James Horne, master of the British slup John Allen, with having deserted from that vessel in New York on the 15th of December last, was up agatn yesterday belore the Commisstoner. The question was whether the Extradition Treaty between the United States and England authorized the tssue of a warrant for the arrest of Fielder, he being a British subject and a deserter from a british ship, Tne Commissioner decided that there was nothing to the ‘Treaty of 1794 to justify the apprehension of Fielder, ‘The twenty-seventh article of the treaty states that the offenders who may be surrendered under it to either goyernment are murderers and forgers. The Ashburton Treaty, which is of a later date, makes no reference to What shall be done with deserters from the mercantile marine of either country. And so Mr. Fielder is now at liberty “to take a wide fieid,”’ and even range among the prairies if he has a mind to. SUPBEME COURT —CHAMBERS.
