The Police Justices Conforming to the Late Decision—Three of Them Sitting at the Tombs—ibe Habeas Corpus Cases to be Argued Again To-Day—WDistrict Attorney Garvin’s Intention» and unsellor Howe's Expectations, In accordance with the determination on Monday three of the Police Justices sat at the Tombs yester- day —Justices Dowling, Hogan and Shandiey. The decision regarding the constitutionality of the Court as appointed by the Mayor under the Tax Levy of 1870 was rendered early last week, and although the interestea Justices have recetved certified copies ef it the District Attorney, Judge Garvin, has received no, intimation of it whatever beyond the newspaper reports, ‘The decision actually strikes directly at the Tax Levy arrangement of Po- Mee Justices only, but as the Jaw, in consequence, must revert to the enactment of 1868, when three Justices were designated to hold the Cours, the tact that two Justices only held it for several months previous to the Mayor's appointments affects ail the decisions rendered by this imperfect Court, be- fore the Muyor's appolatments as well as after. Judges Dowllog and shandiey were the appointees of the Mayor under the ‘Tax Levy clause, and Judges Dowling and Kelly were the Judges desig- nated under the law of 1865, which was repealed, ‘The Justices have no right to go behind this oM- cial decision of the highest Court in the State, and are really powerless tn averting any storm of released criminals that may be showered upon the city. The generality of the cases, however, are six, eight and twelve month disorderhes, drunks or larcentes, and, a3 wil! be seen by an inspection of the list given in the HERALD Oo! a few days ago, the terms of many 01 these have expired since the rendering of the decision, or are quite liely to expire before tie Giscussion of habeas corpuses is ended in Judge Brady’s Court. District Attorney Garvin is thoroughly busy re- viewing all the points of the decision, as he has Unoficially received it, and itenas to argue it 1n Judge prady’s Court again to-day. While he ad- mits that there 1s no appeal trom the decision of the Court of Appeals, he holds that the law of equity 18 to be consulted, and that while the inno- cent persons, ii any such there be, held under sen- tance on Blackwell’s Island by an unconsututional court should be relcased it 1s due ww a patient public that the thoroughgoing thieves and pick- Pockets famous in the aanals of the Tombs should fot be allowed to escape. As an offset to the Jubiaven among the slums, It Is inumated as pri- vate legal opinion that 11 the law 1s unconsttu- tional the trials under it are null and void, and de jure have never taken place; so that, except the ‘statute of limitations interferes, some of tue wortties who secure their release may find themselves hauled a. and resentenced constitutionally for the old offence, and offended judiciary making no allow. ance a for the me they muy have already served. The cases, however, will come up before Judge Brady to-day, and further light will be thrown on this perviexing matter. Lawyer Howe has had issued 200 writs of habeas corpus up to the present, and, If Judge Brady de- cides in his favor on the test cases to-day, expects to have at least three hundred more issued. THE BURGLAR’S FATE. A Watchman’s Straggle for Life and a Burg- lar’s for Liberty—The Latter Probably Mor- tally Wounded. On Monday night a burglar, named Carl Braun, walle in the act of robbing No, 17 vast Fifty-fourth street, was discovered by a private watchman, named John Hays, who arrested him. After cross- jug the fence of the yard attached to the premises, No. 15 Of the same street, Hays, who had hold of the burglar by the coat coilar, slipped down an em- baukment and fell with the burglar on top. The latter, seeing his aavanige, determined to make good use of it, and sud- denly struck Hays a powerful blow on the top of the head with some blunt instrament. Hays, who 1s a powerluily built man of about five feet nine inches in height, was almost stunned by the blow, but continued the desperate strug- gie which then followed, for liverty on the one side and for existence on the other. Hays tried to use his club, but tue prisoner soon had that in his pos- session. It was Of iittle use to either though, for they had now grappied with each other and roiled on the ground. The watchman made several ineffectual altempis to get out his revolver; but when he did so at length, the burglar, who seemed to have been the most active of tne two, took it from him, and endeavored to fire i at Hays. Failing to get an opporwnity of doing as he ‘Wisbed, he aimed 4 terrible blow with the butt end of it at tne Watchman’s bead, and it he had bit him his days in all probability would have been ended. Jostead of striking Lays, however, he struck tne brick wall that was close at hand, making pieces of te piswwl. lays succeeded in wresting the stock gi tne revolver from tne barglar, and again commencéd the deadly, desperate struggle, wulch had been somewtat less flerce ed the last lew seconds, ‘the watchman was now fast recovering from the effects oi tue severe blow given nin whue down by the burglar, who was just as fast wearying of the long stiuggié. finally Hays, who, as ue him- self telis it, Was rendered desperate by the thought of leaving his children fatherless and their motner without @ protector, gathered all his streagth in one lasteffort Wo become master of the situation. Prova- bly, though, tne true cause of this determination on his part was owing to the fact Usat the thumb of his lett hand was just then uudergoing the process of mastication iu the burgiar’s mouth. Havs at any rate put forth one supreme esort to cast his adver- sary away (rom him, which he did, and then he laid him insensitne at hls feet witha crnshing blow on the head with the stock of the revolver, Which he had all along held in his might band since its re- covery from the thief, ‘Tnis endéd the contest, and then for the first time the Watchman got au Opportunity of summoning t his assistance a po- liceman in the person of Oflicer Wilson, of the Nine- teenta precinct. He took Hays and the burglar to the station house, with the assistance of other officers. When ne got to the station house the bur- glar Was suli imsensible, and Dr. Swan (police sur- eon) was sent ior, who said he was mortally injured and ordered nim to be removed to Belie- vue Hospital. Officers Wilson and Hays then returned to tne scene of the confict and fcund someskeleton keys, which Brann had dropped, and @ buntle of clutnes in the water cioset of house No. 16, Which 18 owned and occupied by Mr. Eckerw These clothes belunged to Mr. Oppenheimer, the proprietor of Na 17, next door, ays was then locked up, and yesterday aiternvon he was arraigned at the Yorkville Volice court, His left arm was in a alin waile his right was badly swollen, and his appei ance generaily was that of a person who had yone through a severe fight He was committed to await e result of Braun’s injuries, though he thinks it pretty hard on a man who has done nis duty toward his employet ind the city generally.

On Thursday morning a colored vagrant, at the New Baven Almshouse, named Joseph Clark, as- eauited the assistant keeper, George W.

Erastus Corning. Telegrams reached New York from Albany yester- day morning announcing the death of Erastus Corning. The event occurred in the capital of the Mr. Corning expired at the hour of ten o'clock Monday night, the &tn inst, He wasin the seventy-eighth yearot his age when he was called on to close the account of an active, busy and | eventful career on earth, the initial industrial por- tion of which he commenced in Troy at the age of thirteen years. His demise was caused by a gradual decay and wearing out of the vital force and general exhaustion of the physical power. His mind re- mained with him, He was conscious to the last moment and periectly resigned in his obedience to the imevitable summons which removes man from ‘the terrestrial sphere upward for judgment. He was consoled spiritually by the ministrations of the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Churen, From the first | Moment when Mr. Corning entered business for himself his career was comparatively successful, passing through the trials and embarrassments of the commercial world with a safe and decided policy of action, which kept him alike unharmed and unsullied while #0 many lmprovident ventarers were wrecked. He survived his old poittical rival, Dean Kichmond, but ashort time, Like Dean Richmona, Mr. Corning was a self-made man, and, lke hiin, grew to great influence tn politics and to vast pros- perity in financial affairs solely through ms per- sonal efforts. His education was superior to that of Mr, Richmond, and his tastes lea him to seck more refined and aristocratic associations, so that in becoming, simultaneously with Dean Richmond, @ leader in his party, Mr. Corning wielded mfuence chiefly with the wealthier classes, while Mr. Rich- mond controlled the more democratic masses of we same public organization. Erastus Corning was born tn Norwich, Connecti- cut, December 14, 1704, Tne family was originally jrom New England, but some sixty odd years ago Bliss Corning, the father of Erastus, removed to Chatham, Columbia county, N. Y., where he com- menced farming, and bred his children to the same employment, The family numbered eight, all athletic and large built men. Erastus suffered tn early yearsfrom a fever sore, from the effects of which he. really never recovered, and it was this circumstance which led nim, when only thirteen years old, to seek employment in his uncle’s store in Troy, That uncie was Benjamin Smith, come monly known in that community as “Honest Ken Smith,” and who enjoyed through long lite an enviable reputation for integrity. Mr, Smilin was of the firm of Hearty & Smith, hardware mer- chants, who established themselves at Troy in 1790, | when the place was a mere hemlet, Mr. corning entered this store in 1807 as @ porter ana clerk, and from that humole commencement hig course has been a success. sonas, the young son of Mr. Heartt, and one of the wealthy men of Albany, and Erastus were low clerks and slept ina bunk under the coun ‘They received light wages, but were allowed to buy and sell small wares on thelr own account. Among these were lemons and coitee, the latter of which then brought seventy ceats per pound. Erastus Corning was bold, confident and very efiicient—of a resolute, and, in fact, of an arbitrary turn, and not easily changed from his purpose, At that time politics ran high, and yonng Corning, who was an ardent Jeffersonian, got early in- troduced into public matters, In his twenty-first year ne was invited to Aloany by Jonn Spencer, a leading hardware dealer, who had heard of his avility. This ability he soon proved by buying the stock and building up the great concern with Which his name has since been identified. Those who knew Mr, Corning ascribed the success of this concern to sheer resolution, industry, perseverance ana foresight, or, 10 otuer Words, to the application ofthe principles of Franklin to trade. Common sense and honesty were tne tests to which all mat- ters were subjected to nim. As Mr. Corning advanced in mercantile succe:s the power of early associations led him to rural life, and he purchased 260 acres near the city of Albany, where he devoted much attenuon to the improve- ment ol agriculture, Here may be found some choice breeds 1 imported stock, and other indications of progress in this important calling. To the farm was in due time added a conservatory, which nume bers some fifteen nundred plants, tacluding a list of rare exotics, among which 1s the famous flower of the Raint Esprit. As a natural outgrowing of these Operations @ nursery Was subsequently establisned, whose catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees, grapes and shrubbery is a fitting appendage to a great agricultura! ehterprise, Mr. Corning was Alderman of Albany, Mayor for three years, State Senator and Representative in Congress. He was # member of the democratic conventions at Cuarieston and Baltimore, and i of ine convention which nominated Franklin Pierce in 1852, He was the Caled Quotem of politics, and was at the same tine @ Representative in Congress, Rogent of the New York Univer- sity, Presiaent of the New York Central Rail- road, Director of the New York Central Rail- road, Director in the Hudson kKiver Ratiroad, President and Managing Direcvor ot the New York State Bank, President of the Albany Pier Company, head of alarge hardware house, owner and part manager of a large roiling mili, besides finding time to give considerable attention ‘to agricultural pur- sults, and ail of this he did well at the age of sev- enty years. AS @ business mau Mr. Corning ex- celied in rapidity of judgment. His conclusions were readily formed and his decision given at on In the management of pablic affairs Lis forte con. sisted im reading human nature and placing tue proper man each 10 his proper station. ‘The re- markable ability with which all his operations, trom the Central Ratiroaa down to those of the least importance, Were conuucted, was mamly due to tals precision of judgment, Mr. Corning was always an earnest politician, and maintained his opinions with confidence in their rectitude, succeeaing in estavlisuing nis house, not only as a leading One 10 Albany, but in the State of New York, he employed lis vast ener- gies in more extended fleids of acuon, Assuming the presidency of one ol the largest inoneyed iustitu- Uons in the State he sustained it for years and car- ried it triumphantly througn every crisis. ‘The rail- road enterprise, ag it developed itsell, struck Lhe sa- gacious mind of Mr. Corpiug as one of tne symbols of human progress, and he turned Mis attention to aid in accomplishing ls = grea’ results, When time finally developet a continu- ous line of railway, counecting the Atiantic seaboard at Albany with whe great lakes at Bullalo, there also sprung up the thousand diverse inveresis growing out Of many disunct corpora- uons. ‘To bring their lines into one great whole, to connect them together harmoniously, required not only a mind of superior business capacity, out a character for honor and honesty of the aiost ex- aited kind. In Mr, Corning all these elements were found, and the imamense corporation, In plactag Lim at its head, revived public confluence, enlarged 11s useiulness, and has gone on even surpassing the expectations of its most sanguine Jriends of the consolidation. On ‘Thursday, the Ist of March, ia the year 1866, Mr, Corning celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his commencement of business lie in Albany. “rhe history of its prog! tuen, read as sullows:— March 1, 1816, he entered the firm of John Spencer & Co, Wisham Humphrey being third partner. Mr. Humphrey retired in 1818; and io 1825 Mr, Spencer withdrew, and John T, Norton became the partner, under tne firm of Corning & Norton. in 1824 Jonn T. Norton retired and James Horner became a pariner, under the uue of Corning & Horner, and so continued for fifteen years, when In is44 Gilvert G, Davidson was admitted; and in 1848 Mr. Horner retired, giving way to Erastus Corning, Jr., the title of the firm being E.

Our canals puut, the great West developed, the ratiroad sys- tem ‘inaugurated and extended, the network of telegraphic communication following, the Atlantic cavle latd, and all these wondrous steps taken, which have quickened the march of the, worlu toward its glorious future. Of Mr. Corning’s share in all tnis—the railroad, the express and tel ih 8! tem particularly—it is enough to say that they owed more to his urgency and directing and constant mind than to \nat of apy one man. To all tus may be.added that he has been the helper and friend of all within the circle of his business con- nection—lifting up young men to place, and afford- ing to the enterprising the opportunity that com- manded fortune—and that he remained the fast friend of the old city of Albany, which, in return, honored him with every gilt in its power Auring bis life, and now, with the whole people of a teeming, urited, rous and pairioce pation, mourns his removal by death.
