During the Washoe mining excitement she ‘went to Virginia Gity, where she kept a boarding house or hofel. There her partner undertook torun ‘the national fag up over the hotel, Sne threatened ‘to shoot kin, and did wound him. She was tried for the offence and Mr. Crittenden was her counsel for defense. The jury, without Yeaving=§ their seats, acquitted her, She afterwards came to this city, where she married a man named Snyder, from whom she was soon dl- voreed on the ground of his adultery, Here, as well asin the State of Nevada, sho ws on very intimate terms with Mr. Crittenden, The relations between them‘woete not private. They were frequently seen together in public, and sometimes her child, the Mttle girl who sits by her in court, was with them. For several years the intimacy continued; but he at Jaat seomed determined to break it off. The mar- Mage with Snyder was a temporary interruption, ‘bat the intimacy was renewed after the divorce. He Was advised to repel her at once and forever, but ai not do 80, @leging that he feared unpleasant Gigclosares and that she would kill herself in the -event of bis doing so. She threatenea to commit suicide: if he left her. The approach of his family fromthe East brousht matters to a crisis, and even on the night before their arrival and the last fatal mecting, they were in each other’s company. He 18: said: to have talked seriously with her, and she threatening to kil] hersel! if he forsook her and Be imploring her not to make such an attempt, For several days arter the murder Mra. Fair was ina conilition of apparent delirium, at times calling on her victim 10 come to her, and saying that he pro- mained to meel her alacertaintime. She'was con- stantly attended by @ nurse and no one was admitted to her presenve, A physician attended ber, and she ‘was kept almost conatantly under the induence of epiates. When removed to the county jail she was carried in a chair from her ceil to the carriage. ANTECEVENTS OF MU.

Before the cotten reached New York Notioe was sent to the defendants that the railroad receipt had been delivered to the plaintiils under an arrangement upon the discounting of this draft that it should go into their possession as security for its ayment, The cotton arrived in this city on October and on the same day the defendants received from the shipping agent in Savannah a copy of the ship’s bill of lading; and B. P. Baker, acting for the plaintiffs, demanded the cotton from the defend- fants, who refused to deliver it, but sold it, apply- tng thie proceeds to thejr own account, The plain ti upon brought an action and tue jury found a verdict for them for $6,877, the Judge chal thas ‘if the rail receipt was delivered to the plaintiffs, in pursuance of an agreement upon the discounting of Graft, that they should have it'as security for the payment of the drait itself, and | if the defendants were notified of it before they had mM possession of the cotton then they table to the plaintids.” Various points were relied on as te to show that there ought to be a new trial. The Court reserved its decision. The Hanseatic Republic and the North Ger- man Lieyd The North German Lloyds vs. Hiram Barney, CoUector of the Port of New York.—This case has arisen under a commercial treaty between the Hanseatio republic of Bremen, Lubeck and Ham- burg on the one hand, and the United States on the other. The treaty beara date Oetober 20, 1827, The action was brougnt by the plaintiffs, the North German Liovds, a corporation of Bremen, to recover for alleged duties collected on their vessels in this port by Mr. Barney, as the Collector thereof, in pur- guance of a law of the United States of 1862, The defendant, in collecting those duties, acted merely m is capaci as agent of the United States. He collected the duties in obedience to the United States’ Jaw, and the amount 80 collected tuto the Treasury. But the plaintiffa allege that the duules wera A gaia im violation of the treaty above referred to, The government demar to the bringing of the sult, Claiming that the plaintiffs have never been in the United States, but always in Bremen; that their vessela were owned there and bear the Bremeu flag, and sailed to the United States, where the duties in question were collected as @ condition to their en- ‘Wance to the port of New York. The goveynment, therefore, allege that, under these circumstances, the North German Lloyd’s corporation disappears alto- gether from the case, and that in reality the suit is one at the instance of the Hanseatic Republic against the United States for the recovery of the money alleged to have been illegally collected in the manner described. In answer to the plaintif’s de- mand the defendanws interpose the statute of limt- tations of the State of New York, and say that the piaintifs did not bring the sult until six years had elapsea after the collection had been made. The demurrer sets up other points of objection, bat thoss given contain the principal grounds upon which the suit of the plaintiffs 18 resisted by the United States, mn reserved.

He sata:—although I can see elements in the case gate Se to the gravest suspicion, and, although looking at the case from a moral point of view, the bankrupt has come far short of his daty to his credl- tors in withbolding from them the fruits of his la- bors for the past thirteen years to whom he owed the largest duty, after w gto their money in reckless specniagon, and adventures, yet the proof 16 wanting to satlsfy the legal mind of such a state Of facts as would justify the Court in acting the clear moral principles which pre- themselves in 18 Case. Wutle it may be true that the sons of the debtor have by skilt acquired in business half a million each it is still more than likely that there 13 a clear understanding reached by a sort of magnetism between the debtor and his offepring that when the father 1s free from embarrassment he shall have a large share, if not, the whole of the wealth, which, rhaps, tion of his moral duty is thrown into the hands of his family. Still, the judgment of the Court cannot be always in proof, which this case does not furneh, to justify the reversal of the order of discharge. The decree of the Court below is afirmed.

The Superintendent of Police’s Last Raid— z tore = Ei ford—Expositien ef the Swindle. The desire for gambling, for lotteries and trickery appears to become stronger and more apparent each day, until it 1s reaching what may truthfully be termed » gaming fever. THE LATEST GRAND SWINDLE im this city ts that started by a number of men styling themselves the “Merchants and Manufac- varers’ Co-operatiye Distribution,” at Nos, 596 and 608 Broadway. As has been already published, tho principals im this affair were arrested on Tuesday evening on the order of Superintendent Kelso, who very soon saw through the swindle and had it stopped. All the prisoners, accompanied by a regu- lar brigade of friends and witnesses, attended before Judge Hogan, at the Tombs, yesterday morning, when Captain Walsh, of the Fourteenth precinct, Made an affidavit setting forth that the whole affair was A SWINDLE OF THE GROSSEST NATURA and calculated to deveive any person, especially strangers, He sid the manner in which the busi- eas Was conductea was, that no sooner had peraous paid @ doular for @ ticket im the lottery tian the: pete to the rear of the spacious store which had been engaged for the purpose and thrast their hands Into @ revolving wheel filled with pieces of blank pasteboard, The Captain paid his dollar, and ‘was in due turn treated to a blank of half an iuch square, of which there were three barrels full, THB PRISONERS all appeared to be respectably dressed, but there was that intense watching and nervousness perceiv- able as they sat in the small room at the ack of the court, After the formal aMdavits had been mado and the rine) pal offenders—Joseph McClennan, Henry Wilson, Charles Sinclair, James B, Smith and ndrew Wall—ordered. to be held in custody by uage Ho; Bald it was something new to nim that the should be permitted to enter ‘upon the preniies where the delendants had their lottery and take sole charge of it, retusing to allow auy one to enter therein or remove the PROPERTY. WHIOA DID NOT BELONG TO THE DE- YENDANTS. He algo objected to. the questioning of prisoners at the station houses or even in courts of justice when it wes fully intended to employ whatever remarks Were made against the sneakers. Judge Hogan—I am not aware that any such ques. fions have been asked, certainly not with my knowledge or consent or with any intention on my part to enter such remarks upon the afidavits, There are some gentlemen known to have been con- cerned in this affair who are not under arrest, but who would not, if present, affect the disposition of the property. As far as I understand, there aro persons here who have loaned the defendants pro- perty for twenty or thirty days, and these goods were to ve pala for or returned at the expiration of the thirty days; but, of course, @ great number of tiese feat lemen want to get their property back. I think it is the duty o: the police to safely keep this pro- pery under their charge unt! some disposition has een arrived at with regard to it, At the request of thé Captain who has cbarge of the prisoners | am wiillng that DISTRICT ATTORNEY GARVIN SHALL APPEAR’ to prosecute on behalf of the people, and, if possible, to hold the prisoners, and, if there is no law now tn exiateuce whereby such trickery can be duly puu- isned, perhaps it 1s not too late, while the Legisla- tore 18 sitting, to enact a provision which shalt pre- ventsuch villany for the future. By the glaring and untruthful representations in the public papers by advertisements HUNDREDS OF POOR SERVANT GIRLS have been induced to scrape up every cont they could to invest in this affair, and my attention has already been called to cases where several in the same house have made up tue necessary dollar be- tween them, and, of course, invested aud lost it, 1s this not a case for the police? Every person who hag iuvestea has lost. How could It be otherwise? ‘The police will desain the prisoners here in the cells and hold the property, everything remaining us it is, until two o’ciock this afternoon, when } have re- nested the presence of the Disirict Atiorney fur fear 1 have named, Tne prisoners were all At two o'clock the defondants were again brought up, but owing to a pressure of business the District Attorney was unable to attend tn person. His deputy, however, quoted the statute eer which the indictment had been made and stated that the District Attoruey wonld take bail in $5,000 each for the appearance of Elias and McClennan and $3,000 for Wilson, which was given; the other three, bin. clatr, Suilth and Wall, being allowed to go on their own recognizances.
