NEW COURT HOUSE CONTROVERSY. of the Argument as to That Bill for Iron Work Before Judge Suther- land—Decision To Be Given on Monday Next. Pursuant to adjournment the argument upon the for mandamuses to be issued respec- ively against the City Comptroller and New Court louse Vommissioners asking for payment of un- balance of bill of the Messrs. Cornell for tron ork furnished the new Court House was resumed day before Judge Sutherland, of the Supreme urt, First in order was ARGUMENT RESUMED BY MR. O'GORMAN, ‘The Comptroller was not here to place any unfair bjections, he insisted, to payment of just debts ainst the city, Asto the appropriations of 1871 for building the new Court House, all are ex- jausted. The question as to whether they have been legally or illegally exhaused has no relevancy to the mnt proceeding. This was an application for a andamus compelling the Comptroller to pay the ll of the Messrs. Cornell from appropriations for ie Vourt House, As these appropriations are xhausted it was a simple absurdity asking m to pay this vill, Charges had been made re- lecting on the official integrity of the Comptroller. uch charges were made on information and belief, ‘hey were mere instnuations. They should be made xplicttly and should have no weight with the urt, He proceeded to take up the points of argue ent adduced by the counsel for Cornell, In the tatutes or as legally advised. ‘Tue Comptrolier dis- ¢inctly avers in his affidavit that he has no money from which to pay this pill, He avers further that Hehe $750,000 authorizea to be raised for the com- pletion of the Court House has not yet been raised by issuing bonds as directed. In hisown view this money still to be raised was in- fended to be applied for future expenses, The act of 1870 shows distinctly that this fund was to be raised for the purpose of completing the Court House and notto pay any past indebtedness. He urged that the Legislature designed the same disposition of the $600,000 appropriation. Other provision had been made to cover all past claims, and it was the duty of the Messrs, Cornell to avail themselves of this provision. If this bill had been presented to the; Commissioners in 1870 for audit itundoubtediy ‘would have been paid, Jt scemed to him that it suil day with the Commissioners to pay this bill. He should like to see the bill paid. The Comptroller made no charge against its justice. The question ‘was whether it could be legally paid im the way fought. The strong and vilai point was that the mouey could not be paid oui Of this $750,000 appro- priation, When he had concluded Mr. Monell pro- Ceeded with nis ARGUMENT FOR THE COMMISSIONERS. The relator did not seek a judgment against the New Court House Commissioners. A mandamus asking them to pay the relator’s bill from funds in their liands was asked. This payment was sought out of the $200,000 paid them by the Comptroller on account of the Court House. ‘Ihey met this applica- tion by stating that this $200,000 “had already been ali exhausted. The Messrs. Corneil, under their contract, made In 1803, had received some $1,400,000, At first they obtained’ their payments through the Board of supervisors, aud when tns Board was abolished tie maiter of the payments became vested in the Court House Commissioners. Ailer showing: that no claim ror payment of tie bill in question could be made from the $600,000 appropriation he urged that, by the act creating these Commls- ploners, the laiter could in no way be held responsi- le for the payment o1 previously occurring mdebt- edness, The duty of the Commissioners was plainly and obviously to supervise tne completion of the Court House, The Commissiouers were appointed for a specific purpose; this purpose to com- lete the Court House. All previous liabill- Hes, it was distinctly set forth in section, 4 of the act of 1871, were to be settied by the issue of bonds. ‘The Messrs. Corne!l’s work was done long before the Commissioners came into oifice. He insisted that they could not be cailed upon to pay any bill until the same had peen audited to them. They were made the custodians of a special fund. They had nothing todo with the Board of Super- ‘visors, After enlarging on this point he took up Bome {tems Of the bill, aS One of some $500 for repaur- ing locks, &c., in the Surrogate’s ofice, and another of el tor drilling holes, &c., in the Sherifi’s office, and stilt another of $13 for putty for the dome, ‘which has only existence on paper, and urged that these charges Were not in accordance with the speci- Acattons of the contract. All ‘hese tlems, amounting to several thousand dollars, he claims should bo pre- sented to the Commissioners to be audited beiore ing paid. In conciusion he urged that it was eft discreuonary with the Commissioners to use or tne Court House. Mr, Lawrence followed with the concludiog ARGUMENT FOR MR. OORNELI This discussion had gene over a wide teld, He should be brief. The jacts were simple. He re- viewed the two affidavits of the © ing that the first one acknowledged that he had funds im lis possession on accouat of the Court House, und the second one expiictty denied this fact It had been found that this Grst aamission ‘was too broad, and hceuce this second aMfdavit, that he had not issued stock to raise 0,000 for com- ieting the Court House. The Legislature directed Rim to Issue Us stock, and be had not done so, and therefore wouid not pay the till. The act was man- datory in its character. Having exhausted this | branch ot lus argument he urged tuat tne Comp- troller should issue this stock at onve and be made to pay from the proceeds the bill in question, He referred to the case of McSpedon & Baker vs. the Commissioner of Records, wherein the Super- visor was compelied to raise the money and then pay the bili in htigation—a ruling of the present Court. ‘Where was tbe evidence that tie funds in the hands of the Comptroller applicabie to the Court House are exhausted? He submitted that the Comptroller's affidavits were po answer to the present applicu- tion. He tuanked the go typo Counsel for his uggestion of a remedy, but ciaimed that the reme- ay ested could not be mace serviccabie in their case. He answered the assault on the bill of the Messra. Cornell. It was refresiing to know that gach a ft of economy had come over the Coure House Commissioners. His reply to this was that no contract could be so minute in tts spectications that some extra work would vot be included In the bilis. He turiher urged that the Court House Com- misstoners had no right to audit this biil, the same having been audited and approved by the Board of Supervisors, their predecessors 10 control of mutters relating to the Court House. Having dwelt on this point at length he insisted that a mandamos should dssue against the Comptroller, What kind of a mandamus?’ tnterrapted Mr. Q’Gorman. fhe one that will bring the money,” answered wir, Lawrence. “More than one 1" *& volley of them.” “Be carefal you don’t you get too many.” Grapesnot is often better tasn caanon ball, and more fatai."”” Mr. Lawrence resuming, reviewed the affidavit of Mr. Coman, which, ho submitted, was onty a reflec: tion on the past invegrity of the Hoard of Super+ visors, the Mayor and Financial Bareau of the erty. Jn conclusion he urged that they were entiied to pay direct from the Comptroller, or if there was any Technical objection {0 tis that tie Court House Commissioners be directed to make a requisition upon the Comptrolier for the amount, and that te Jatrer be imstructed to raise the yequired sum. 5) ceeding him was a long DER BY MR, O'GORMAN, Re assume: sgument CAat Che contract could pot be considered compiete antl paid for, by asking Ai a gontleman’s toilet could not be coustitered com « slete until the fatlor had been paid.

COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. The Social Evil—Children Shoved Into Paths of Vico—A Twenty Years’ Career of Crime— Breaking Up the Bowery Dens—A Mariner fm ‘?roubled Waters. Beiore Judge Dowling. ‘The war upon the uptown haunts of secret sin has been commenced, and the death knell of vice that flaunts in the open day, robed in satin and velvet, has been sounded. One by one, in a ghastly line, the owners of these dens will be led to tie block, where they need expect no mercy. The music was opened yesterday, with the case of Ad- elina Beaumont and William, her reputed husband. Their course was stopped by officer Bernard Con- noily, under the instructions of THE CHIEF OF POLICE, ‘This wretched pair have been conducting @ place at 127 West Twenty-sixth street for something like two years, into which they have frequently enticed girls and forced them into a life of shame. Captain Burden stated, in his evidence before the Court, that he has been obilged to send officers to that house over and over again to take children out of it at the request of their parents, Two of his officers proved that they had gone to the place on different occa- sions for little girls, one of whom was only eleven years of age and the other thirleen years and five months. The mother of one of the children was also put upon the stand, and, with tears in her eyes, corroborated the testimony of the police, The Court, before passing sentence, said:—‘‘Mrs. Beau- mont I nave known you a good many years, and you are A THOROUGHLY BAD WOMAN, If this frighttul evil must exist there are plenty of women to pursue the calling without dragging in those unfortunate little children who may happen to fallin your way. Whatever show of reason there may be tor a woman living by this means, there 1s none for a man (I should say a male). That one could be found to eat, drink and live in such a house 13 too horrible to contemplate. For twenty years you have been engaged in this city at the same business and amassed weaith in it, J intend now to ‘put a stop to your further progress. You had a place like this in Wooster street and afterwards in Greene, Thirteen years ago I arrested you on Broadway for shoplifting.

Beanmont, one year for you, with the same fine, on similar condt- tious." ‘The next strain in the melody turnea to the tune of Albert Meyers, @ 81x-foot German, who kept a low concert saloon and bowling alley in the base- ment at the corner of Broome street and the Bowery. ‘Vhis place was open day apd night, with a plano going constantiy. It was the common resort of THE WORST CHARACTERS on the Bowery, and was frequently the scene of dar- ing robveries, ‘he prisoner offered, through his lawyer, 10 move away from the place instantly if litule grace should be accorded him; but the Court answered, “Never mind; I will remove him to a safer place for the public—one year in the Peni- tentiary and $150 fine; to stand commit- ted until the fine be paid.” The overture went oa, and Mrs. Margaret Bailey came next in toe fantasia, Sbe was indicted by officer Alva C. Dennis for kKeepimg an infamous house at 36 West Fourth street, The policeman said that this place was situated in the midst of respectable places of business, and the people im the Louse were most barefaced in their manner of solicitation. Several gentiemen living in the vicinity were put upon the stand abd all of them tola THE SAME STORY. ‘rhe woman tried to defend herself by an attempt to prove that the policeman had arrested her through malice. One of the girls who had lived in the Louse Was brougitt up as a witness, to show that it was through a aifficulty with her that the house had been broken up; but they utterly failed to make a point against tne officer. ‘The Court asked if suere were any more witnesses ?

Still another victim of the long list comes forward eli a tale of suffering and hardship—one more of those unfortunate mea apon whom the clever vultures of the city fatten and grow rich, always evading the punishment of the law.

THE GOVERNMENT SALE OF GOLD. The offer of the government to scl! one million of gold at noon to-day elicited twenty-six bids for a total of $6,269,000, at prices ranging from 111,55 to 112.40, The sale was limited toa inillion, which was placed at 112.40 a 112.82, The average thus ob- tained was somewhat lower than the price ruling at midday in the Gold Room, GOLD STRONG—1 A 112%. Gold opened steady at 11234, particularly as the report from London stated that tne Bank of Eng- land had made no change in the disconns rate, and that the bullion had increased about 0,000. At the same time the rate for cash gold showed some tendency towards relaxation and eventually did de- cline somewhat for business both in and out of the Clearing House. But the nominaily higher rates for foreign exchange started a little movement late in the ferenoon and some sales 0c- curred at 11233, Later on tne active com- petition for the government gold, as above ilius- trated, awakened rather more interest apd a steady buying movement ensued, wiich gained strength as the afiernoon progressed, and led eventually to a rise to 1127 subsequent to banking hours, when the bidding for the use of go!d to mor- row became quite spirited, and transactions took place at 3-32, which rate was bid for more at the close. For to-day’s business the highest commission exacted was 1-16, and some borrowers, who waited their opportunity, toward three o'clock got their gold for as low as 1-64. ‘The impression in the Gold Room at the close was that the bull clique intended @ “squeeze”? to-morrow Of more or less severity.
