4 THE IMPEACHMENT TRILL. t to Assemble at the State Capital To-Day. The Managers and the “Grand Jurors”---Who and What They Are, The Cour Judge Barnard’s Defence and the Ques- tion of Fair Play. The Court for the trial of the impeachment of Judge Barnard will convene at Albany to-day, when it is believed, the preliminaries having been gone through with, a place will be determined upon where the trial will be held, It may be, how- ever, that the trial will go on at once; for the ques- tion of an adjournment to a place other than Albany (the trial to take place in midsummer), depends almost solely upon the members of the Court of Appeals. If their calendar will permit of an ad- journment, well and good; If not they will insist upon the trial’s going on within a week or two at the very utmost, and it is thought that the Sena- tors will give in to thelr wishes, If au adjournment to midsummer does take place, it is more than probable that the trial will be held at Saratoga. The village authorities have already extended the use of the town hall to the Court, and every facility that may be required, In order that the unsophisticated may understand just what the Court of Impeachment is at present it may be stated that the Court for the trial of im- peachments and the correction of errors was abol- ished by the Constitution of 1346. Its powers and duties in regard to impeachments were confined and enjoined on a new Court, termed the Court for the Trial of Impeachments. This Court is composed, of the President of the Senate, tho Senators, or a majority of them, and the judges of the Court of Appeals, or a majority of them. The concurrence of two-thirds of the members present is necessary to a conviction. Judgment in cases of impeachment can extend no further than to re- Moval from office, or removal from office and dis- qualification to hold any oMce of honor or trust or Profit within the State; but the party impeached is | Mable to indictment and to be punished according tolaw. Ifthe President of the Senate is absent when the trial comes on, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals presides. If both are absent, such member as the Court shall elect. The following named are the managers appointed by the Assembly and the members of the Court in Whoso hands Judge Barnard’s future is now com. mitted:— The Managers, Thomas G. Alvord, republican, of Syracuse, was born in Onondaga, December 20, 1810, He is of Eng- Ush and Dutch descent and was educated at Yale College, New Haven, Conn. He 1s a salt manufac. .} turer. He was a member of Assembly in 1844, 1868, | 1862, 1864, and Speaker in 1368 and 1564, Licutenant | Governor in 1805-’65, and was a member | of the constitutional convention of 1867. He was a democrat until April, 1861, and has ever since been republican. Mr. Alvord was, beyond all doubt, the ablost man in the late Assembly and by his superior tact and savoir yaire among rural legislators made himself the leader of the House despite the fact | that he was defeated by Mr. Smith for the Speak- | ership, and the Speaker's friends were in the ! Qneens county, December 8, 1838. He is a farmer, was President of the Queens County Agricultural Society in 1863 and 1864. He received a common school education, He was not much of a speaker during the late session of the Senate, but was re- garded as ashrewd worker. Although an out-and- out democrat, he was thoroughly independent in his votes, and often voted against his political col- leagues to support measures which he deemed to be right and with which the political complexion of the backers of the measures had, im his opinion, nothing todo. The “calculators” who will be cer- tain to make their slate as to the result of the triat before it is half over will be at a loss how to set Cock down on the st. One thing is certain, he will vote strictly according to the evidence, without regard to politica. Join 0. Perry, republican, who represents the Second district, was born in Forestburg, Sullivan county, April 21, 1832, He was educated at the acadeiny in Monticello, and afterwards studied law for two years in the office of Alpheus Dimmick, at the time one of the big legal guns of the county. He was Assistant District Attorney for Ulster county in 1854-5 and '56. He removed to Brooklyn In 1857 and commence d the practice of law in New York. He was a member of Assembly in 1863 and 1804. In 1865 he was appointed Assistant United States District Attorney. Mr. Perry dis- tinguished himself during the late session by never making or attempting to make a speech on any subject, and by acting the part of the quiet, go- easy Senator, who trod on nobody's corns, manag- ing to get through the celebrated Brooklyn, which a more frothy legislator would never have been | able to get through so easily. Mr. Perry is intense in his TOBRALOAD, sin, and the fact of Judge Barnard being a democrat, and that the “party” pressure | demands his conviction, will by no méans be lost upon the Senator from the Second, Henry ©. Murphy, democrat, who represents the Third district, was born in Brooklyn, July 5, 1S10. He is a lawyer by profession, having gradnated from Columbia College {n 1830, and admitted to the bar in 1883, He became soon after this District Attorney of Brooklyn, and, later, Mayor of the city. He was a member of the Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth Con- gresses, member of the Constitutional Convention of 1546, and United States Minister to the Nether- lands, under Buchanan’s administration, tn 1857-61. Since’ that time he has been a membor of the Stato Senate, and is now “the father of the house.” He is generally very popular with all his fellow members, and is justly considered to be one of the stron, est men in the Senate, and, by long odds, the ablest constitutional lawyer. Mr, Mur phy's politics will have nothing to do with his decision in the trial, and no man will yote with less bias than he, no matt¢r how he votes. Wiiliam M. Tweed, democrat, reprosents tno Fourth district; but as itis not itkely that he will take his seat in the Court it is needless here, for the benefit of the unsophisticated public, to go into de- tails about the life of so obscure a personage, Erastus ©. Benedict, republican, represents the Fifth district. He was born in Branford, Conn., March 19, 1800, He graduated from Williams Col- lege, Marsachusetts, in the class of 1821. He was at one. time a sort of farmer, and afterwards a teacher in common schools and colleges, He Is at present a melaber of the legal fraternity, and has written several works, “The American Admiralty” among others. In 1841 he was a member of the Common Council, President of the Board of Educa- tion ie 1860-54, and member of the Assembly in 1843 aud 1864, In 1843 he was Chairman of the Select Committee which reported the General Railroad law which was passed at that session. Mr. Bene- dict is rather crotchety in his notions as to what is meant by ‘reform’ and the duties of a politician, but he ‘is extremely consciontions, and will bé strictly impartial as a member of the Court. Augustus Weismann, republican, who represents the Sixth district, was born in Grosheppach, Wur- temberg, Germany, March 6, 1809. He was edu- cated ata classical school in the city of Scherndorf, He came to this country in 1882, and soon alter- wards started in business a8 an apothecary. In this he was very successful, and has now retired from busin Originally he was a democrat, He wasa member of the Board of Education in 1851-52, and of the first Board of Supervisors from January, 1858, to December, 1863. It is believed that the Senator's view of the Barnard case is such that a great deal of evidence other than that produced byes prose- une : will be necessary to make him vote for an ac- quittal. James O’Brien, democrat, who represents the Seventh district, was born in Ireland in 1838, He received a common school education, and is a ma- chinist by trade, He was alderman in 1865-67, and Sherr in 1808-40, Mr, O'Brien, notwithstandin; majority at the start of the session, Although he does not practice, Mr. Alvord stands very high as | @ constitutional lawyer, and his long term of ser- | vico as a legislator has given him a familiarity with | the statutes that possibly no other man in the State | possesses to the same eminent dogree. If indefati- | gable exertion and untiring energy, coupled with | hatred of “the corrupt Judictary of New York,” | which he has so often made a subject of his flerce | tirades In the Assembly, can be accounted for any- | thing in the prosecution of the accused Judges, then will the managers have nothing to complain of in having Mr. Alvord as one of thelr number. L. Bradford Prince, republican, of Flushing, was born at Flushing in the year 1838, He graduated at | the Columbia College law school with the highest | honors, recetving the $200 prize tn Political Scieace, He was a delegate to the Chicago Conventton in 1863, and member of the State Committee in 1869, | He was a member of Assembly in 1871. Mr. Prince dis- | tinguished himself during the late session as chair- man of the Judiciary Committee in the investiga. tions, which he was instrumental in pushing to an | issue, in the case of the judges. He is a fair | speaker, though Inclined to be prosy and sophomo- | real on linportant themes, He will be a good man- ager in every respect. Cyrillo S. Lincoln, repubiican, of Napies, was born In South Bristol, July 18, 1830. He was educated in the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in 1845-46, and in the New York Conference Seminary in 1653, and Union College in 1865-58. He is a lawyer and grape grower. Mr. Lincoln made a good record for him- | self during the session as @ reformer, and was | never afraid of being put upon the record. He is a | | | good speaker, always speaks to the point, and wastes no time in roundabout phrases when he wants to censure or praise. David B, Hill, democrat, of Elm Havana, Vt., August 29, 1844. He was educated at the Havana Acad cay and afterwards studied law, He was elected City Attorney of Elmira, tn 1865, and was a delogate from Chemung county to the Demo- cratic State Convention in 1808, He was a member of Assembly in 1871, Mr, Hall took part in the pro- ceedings of the Judiciary Committee during the | late session, and was one of the first to express his | readiness to sign the resolution declaring that | Judge Barnard should be impeached for mal-con- duct in ofice. As a lawyer he stands well, and will, | no doubt, be of good service to the prosecution in | combating the legal defenses with which the ac- | cused Judge's counsel! will hedge him about. Commodore P. Vedder, republican, of Ellicottsville, was born at Ellicott: le, February 23, 1839. He | ira, was born in was educated at the Springville Academy, tn 1859 | to 1861, He is a lawyer by profession, e was a | democrat until the breaking out or the war.

He was a member of the New York Republican ral Committee In 1865, and was one of the special Committee appointed by the State Convention that year to reorganize the city organization. Mr. Niles Wasp hard working Member of the Judiciary Com- mite of the late er lad and will be a good coun- sellor to the prosecution. James W, Busted, repu' of Peekskill, was born in Bedford, October 31 He isa uate of Yale College and 1s 4 law, professior He has been a superintendent of schools, school com- missioner, deputy superintendent of the Insurance Department, Rar or master, deputy captain of the New York, He was a member of the Assem- and 1871.

Asa manager he | Will do yeoman. service if he feels inclined to “push things’ to the bitter end, ‘The Members of the Court. | Allen ©.

Daniel F, Tiemann, democrat, who represents the Eigith district, was born in New York January 9, 1605. His father was “a poor German emigrant.’ He received a common school education and en- tered the drug store of Schietfelin & Co., where he remained six years, when he was taken into busi- ness by his father and uncle, who were engaged in the manufacturing of paints and colors. In 1833. he was Assistant Alderman of the Sixteenth ward, iderman of the same ward. In 1851 he was elected Assistant Alderman of the Twellth ward, in 1852 Aldern , aud in 1853 he waa elected one of the governors of the alms- how: which ofice he held until 1857 In tie latter year he was elected Mayor of the city. Tiemann is a blunt, outspoken man, who gene- eaus just what he says and always says what lie Means, regardless whether It is friend or foe who is injured or benefited by his frankness. He has become so imbued with the idea that rorebony. connected with public affairs since he was Mayor was or is entitied to gibbeting that he will have to er to give the accused Judge a fair hearing. in H. Robertson, republican, who represents the Ninth district, was born in Bedford, Westches- ter county, October 10, 1823. He was educated at the Union Academy, Bedford, and was admitted to the bar in 1347, He was Member of Assembly in 1849 and 1850 and of the State Senate in 1864 and 1855, and County Judge of Westchester county for twelve years, le a Presidential Elector in 1860; Representative in the Fortieth Congress, Mr. Robertson is an out-and-out republican, who, durin, the reform excitement, over and over again told aul he knew about democratic knavery, and it is more than probable that he will have a hard time of it when the trial ends to vote without bias. Edward M. Madden, republican, who represents | the Tenth disirict, was born in Crawford, Orange | county, February 1, 1818. He received a common schoo! education, and when quite young worked in | acotton mill, He afterwards engaged in the tin | and stove business, and is now @ manufacturer of | metal goods, He was elected in 1854-57 to the State Senate as an anti-Nebraska democrat. Mr. Madden during the iate session of the Senate showed him- self to be a thorough independent in his ady or Opposition of measures purely political, He cousidered the great flre-eater of the body; for he never opposed or favored any bill in @ iilk-and- | water way, but, on the contrary, always “pitched in” right and left to a degree bordering on the dercely ridiculous. His political conyreres had a in o7 Ww: | | Be NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET, | merchant and speculator. He was amember of As. | Sembly tn 1860 and delegate to the National Repu ican Convention in 1864. Mr, Dickinson's republi- can notions about party, tt is generaliy believed, will have great weight with him on the tral. Norris Winslow, republican, was born at Water- town, May, 1335, He was engaged im mercantile pursuits from 1855 to 1865, but is now a banker, He Was a candidate for Presidential elector in 1868. 16 Wouid be hard even to guess at the way Mr. Wins- low will vote. He is one of that peculiar class of liticians who do not seem to have any mind of ‘heir own when they are in a crowd, Whea any question of “record” was up in the Senate during the past session he either “dodged” or waited a second or third call of the absentecs, so as to find out how everybody else was recorded, before mak- ing up his mind, ‘It is possible that Mr, Winslow Bear tne same role in the impeachment trial. He wil! be pretty sure to go with the tide. Samuel 8. Lowery, republican, who represents the Nineteenth district, was born in the county Down, treland, February 5, 1831. He worked in a woollen factory when a boy, and {8 now the proprie- tor of a knitting mill. He camo to this country in . He was & member of Assembly in 1870, Mr, Lowery is set down by the calculators as dead against the accused Judge, Archibald McGowan, republican, who represents the Twentieth district, was born in Pownal, Ben- nington county, Vt., August 26, 1825, He received a common school education and attended the Jones- ville Academy, Saratoga county. He worked ona farm until he was seventeen years of age, and then became aclerk. He is now a merchant and boat- builder. He was member of Assembly in 1863 and 1866, Mr. McGowan 18 a man of no great weight in | the Senate, and speculation as to what way he will | voie, for that reason, is all the greater. Ihe finds that the vote is destined to take a party course he wil! not be the one to show any indepenile William Foster, republican, who represe’ ‘Twenty-first district, was born in Lenhain, county, Bogiand, December 27, 1813, He was edu- cated at the academies of Middieton, Kent and Hurstmanaux, Sussex, England. He now resides at Cleveland, Oswego county, and is a tanner and window glass manuf re Ho came to the United States in 1330, Mr, Foster is not one of the leaders of the Senate, and may be classed in the same category as McCowan as far as his influence with his fellow members goes. He ts, however, at times inclined to be tndependent and Kick against the pbs | traces when he gets a notion Into his head that by doing a certain thing that his political | colleagues do not look favorably upon he EB doing right. He is not as yet set down as certain one way or the other as far a3 nis vote on the trial is con- ublican, Who represents the cerned, Daniel P. Wood, rep Twenty-second disirict, was born in Pompey, Onoa- daga county, November 6, 1819, He attended the academy at that place in the winters of 1835 and 1338, and the Cazenovia Seminary the summer of the latter year. He went to Hamilton College from 1889 to 1542, He was formerly a farmer, and is now alawyer and manufacturer. Ho studied law and commenced practice in 1846, He was member of | Assembly in 1853, '54, 1865, ’66 and 167, Mr. Wood is | one of the recognized leaders in the body, and were the Senators allowed to do any taiking during | the trial he would, no doubt, do his part of it. He is rather liberal in his views generally, but his no- tions of a republican’s duty rather bind him occa- sionally to the demands of justice. Besides, he is keenly sensitive to “home rule’? pressure, and if he finds out that “up where [ came from” there is a decided feeling for the conviction of Barnard at all hazards, he will feel it his duty to vote accordingly, unless the evidence in favor of the accused is 50 strong and plain that he who runs may read with- out spy-glasses, James H, Graham, republican, who represents the Twenty-third district, was born in Bovina, Septem- ber 18, 1812, He was educated In the common Schools of Franklin. He was formerly a farmer, merchant and banker, but has lately retired from business. He was a member of the Republican N tional Convention in 1856, He was a Representative in the Meitietiste Congress, and a candidate for Presidential elector in 18 He was a member of Assembly in 1871. Mr. Graham 1s set down as irre- vocably committed to vote “guilty” when the ques- | tion of Barnard’s mal-conduct comes up. Thomas J. Chatfleld, republican, who represents the Twenty-fourth district, was born in Great Bar- rington, Berkshire county, Mass., September 16, 1818, He was educated in the common schools of that place. He was formerly a kneader of dough by trade, but lsat present a grocer. He was a member of Assembly in 1853, and a delegate to the Repub- lcan National Convention in 1868, Mr, Chatfield is noted for his extreme plety at all hours of the day and night and for the energy he displays in “‘wrastlin’"' in prayer over matters of state, He will no doubt “wrastle” {n prayer over the trial 80 long as it lasts, and when the spirit moves him | itis pretty certain that the wrastiin’ will turn the | wrastler in favor of he pare of the strong. He is one of that peculiar ilk of men who, in nine cases out of ten, believe every man guilty against whom nee charges are made; so he will be sure to vote “guilty. Willlam B, Woodin, republic the Twenty-{ilth district, was ga county, September 25, He received a thorough academic education, graduating at the Cortland Academy in 1941. He afterwards studied law, and has su ded well in the profession. He Was @ member of Assembly in 1855, Mr. Woodin is the President pro tem. of the Senate, and the leader of the republican side of the house. He is by long odds head and shoulders, as tar as ability goes, ahead of his colleagues, and naturaliy wields an immense influence over his fellow members, It is | hardly possible that he will vote “not guilty.” William Johnson, democrat, who represents the Twenty-sixth district, was born ia Frankfort, Her- kimer county, December 8, 1821. He received a common school education, He was formerly a man- ufacturer, but now is a railvoad contractor, He was a member of Assembly in 1861, He raised the 148th regiment New York State Volunteers in Sep- tember, 1562, and commanded it until 1863, when he resigned. Mr. Johnson 4s an out-and-out democrat Of the liberal stripe and independent toa fault. If the “facts” are against Judge Barnard all the polit- ical pressure in the world could not prevent him from voting “guiity.’’ He is one of the ablest men in the Senate, and has great influence with the re- publicans, with whom he is a great favorite person- who represents ‘n in Genoa, Cayu- ally. Gabriel T. Harrower, republican, who represents the Twenty-seventh district, hails from Lindley- town. He is one of the silent men of the Senate. The longest speeches he cver made during the late session were made when the roll was called on some bill. They were invariably “Aye” or “No”’— nothing more, nothing less. He has a bias, they say, that will not be pleasing to Barnard. Jarvis Lord, democrat, who represents Twenty-eigith district, was born in Ballston §| Saratoga county, February 10, 1816, He isa farmer, and has been an extensive contractor. He was a member of Assembly in 1858 and 18367, Mr. Lord is a great stickler for what he calls “democratic principles,” and never loses occasion, either by word ox act, to show that he is a thorough dyed-in- the-wool democrat. He is a good-natured sort of man, who never knows what it is to look in bad humor; but he is not by any means the best educated man nor the most brilliant orator in the Senate, It is very hard to say just how Mr. 1 stands as to Barnard at present; but itis pretty certain that if the prosecution should take a arty hue he will vote against impeachment, come weal, come woe. jeorge Bowen, republican, who represents the Twenty- 1 t, Med born in Shelby, Orleans 28, 1851. | | the He received a common most wholesome dread of his uncertainty of posi- tion, and the fact that they never knew beloreland how’ he stood as to any particular political measure gave him a power that otherwise he | could nev have obtained in the counce' of the party magnates. Without being ex: an orator he is one of the most forcible speak the Senate; but, of course, as a single m the Court, he will be unable (o ‘yell defiance’ it anything or anybody as he so often used to in the Senate, Judge Barnard will have no more impar- tial juror in his case than Madden, even though he isone of the flercest kind of republicans, and was during the late session one of the most invet howlers against the “democratic villainies” in York city. | Abiah W. Palmer, republican, who represents the | Eleventh district, was born in Amenia, Dutchess | coun January 25, 1835. He was educated at the | Seminary, Cazenovia Seminary and Union | He also went through a short course of sprouts in Dorange College, Tours, He is a far- | College. | collegiate France, in 1867, and Dresden in 1858. | mer and banker, and was at one time engaged in | | the mining business. He was a member of Assem- | bly in_ 1860 and 1866, and of the Senate in 1868 and | Mr. Palmer is & man of decided political con- | vietions and sensitive as to “what the public | have to say. will require a great deai of uphill | work to make the Senator from the Eleventh be- | lieve that the artices of impeachment against Bar. } hard re ae possibly not be “justified by the iact.” | Isaac V, Baker Jr, republican, who represents the | ‘Twelfth district, was born at Comstock's Landfn, August 15, 1843, He was educated at West Ville Academy and the Brooklyn Polytechnic and | Collegiate Institute. He is a farmer and merchant. | He was a member of the Assembly in 1869, 1870 and | . Mr, Baker is not by any means one of the | able” members in the Senate, but he isa con- | sclentious hard-working republicnn, and will do his | duty without fear or favor at the trial. | Charlies I, Adams, republican, who represents the Thirteenth district, was born at Coxsackie, Greene county, April 10, 1825.

The Judge's Counset on the Question— What Committees Know About Im- peachment—Copies of the Testimony not Farnished to the Defendants—A Falr Trial Asked For—Barnard Confi- dent of Proving His Purity. In order to ascertain to the fullest extent the course the Judiciary Committee of the Assembly pursued in regard to the impeachment of the Judge (Barnard) of the Supreme Court, a Tieranp representative waited upon Mr. Rufus F, Andrews, counsel to the Judge. The reporter was courteously received, and, having statea his mission, informed Mr. Andrews that he was pre- pared to take any statement he might wish to make and publish it without comment. Mr. An- drews consented to the pursuance of this course, and the following is his statement verbatim:— Mr. ANDREWS—There are many and diverse cir- cumstances connected with the investigation of this case that, in justice to the public and my client, shouldbe made known, The Judiciary Committee, while sitting in New York, admitted hearsay testi- mony and allowed witnesses to testify tn relation to their belief and suspicion in regard to the Judge's acts. His counsel, although allowed to be present, Were not permitted to interfere and offer objections in the usual way, After the testimony was closed the committee placed it in the hands of George A. Nesbitt & Oo, to be pri and ata a ineeting of the Judiciary Commit bany on the 17th of April, this resolution was passed :— Resolved, That the counsel representing the Bar Asso- ctation and the counsel appearing for Judges Barnard and Jardozo be requested to submit an oral argu) i committee, and also to subunit tl eference to the various questions tu gation; and that for the purpose of hearing s ument the commitiee will fix a time at the earliest moment, and that the chairman of the comiulitee be re- quested to endeavor to arrange a time satisfactory to the respective counsel.

BRADFORD PRINCE, Notwithstanding this resolution and the letter of Mr. Prince the committee never fixed upon any time for the hearing, nor was any opportunity given to Judge Barnard or his counsel to appear and make argument upon the question involved. The testimony which Mr. Prince states in the note T have just given you was directed to be furnished to Judge*Barnard was never furnished, nor was tho testimony Somaigiee until the very morning when the report of the committee was made to the Legis- lature; and at the present time the exhibits which constitute the most material part of the case, are not furnished. ‘The day after tho report of the committee was made I met Mr. Prince In Albany and told him that the committee had not furnished Judge Barnard or lias counsel with the testimony, al- though he had promised in his letter that it should be provided, v. Prince replied that he was un- able to get more than a few coples, and those only on the day the report was made. The testimony and exhibits consist ot about two thousand pages of foolscap. It was never read by any member of the committee, except, perhaps, Mr. Prince, who, if he read it at all, did so while it was in manus » During the hearing before the com- mittee in New York, for the greater portion of the time, but one member was present, Never at any time did the whole committee attend, and nearly all the time but two or three of the committee were present. No single member of the committee heard all of the testimony, and the re- port that was made to the Legislature was subser- vient to the pressure of popular clamor, the com- mittee not having read or understood the testi- mony upon which they based their resolution of im- peachment. The members of the House who voted for the resolution, without one single exception, will state that they voted without knowing what the testi- mony was, and that nine-tenths of them don’t know what it is to this day, “T applied,” continned Mr. Andrews, “to the State printers, two days after the report was made, with a note from Mr. Prince himself, in order to get possession of some copies of the testimony and exhibits, The testimony was given to me the fol- lowing day; but the printer who had the matter in charge stated that he was unable to furnish me with the exhibits, but would forward them to my address in New York on their completion. These exhibits consist of the papers and orders in the cases in which Judge Barnard is charged with having made improper decisions, and these constt- tute the basis upon which his impeachment must rest. It will, therefore, be seen that the committee acted in a hasty and wnjust manner towards the ac- cused, and that the Legislature itself passed upon his case without any knowledge of its merits or de- merits. If a jury having a case in charge was to render a verdict of guilty before hearing a word of the testimony, it would be a case only paralleled in the action of the Legislature by the impeachment of Judge Barnard. The Judge and his counsel now ask that the right of a fair trlal—uninfuenced by threats from parties or newspapers—may be accorded to him. ‘wo of the leading partizan journals of this city, almost daily, during the investigation in Judge Barnard’s case and cesar. peeceniny, the report of the committee, published editorials which stated that any man in the Legislature who voted against the impeachment of Judge Barnard would have his name published in full as having been bought. Judge Barnard only asks the same rights which wonld be accorded to other citizens who might be put on trial, and he is confident, as are also his counsel, that if his case can be left to the judgment of the tribunal before which he must soon appear he will be triumphantly acquitted, and his acts as a judge of the Supreme Court of the State of New York not only vindicated but universally com- mended, STOKES.

To-morrow afternoon, at three o'clock, the long- talked-of monument to Shakspeare will be inaugu- rated with appropriate ceremonies at Central Park. Owing to a disappointment in the fulfliment of the | order which has been forwarded to Scotland for the manufacture of the pedestal the bronze statue will be temporarily placed on a wooden structure, but the delay in carrying out the wishes of the gentle- men who nearly twenty years ago began subserib- nso protracted that it was felt best to postpone no longer the inaugura- tion of the monument. The site selected is at the southern end of the Mall, a little to the east of the Main walk—one of the most beautiful spots in the Park, in spite of the ugly brick buildings that meet the view on the side facing towar Fifth avenue, A senii-civeular gailery has been erected for the convenience of spectators, but the accommodations | are necessarily somewhat limited, and great economy has to be exercised in the giving out of | thekets.. Theodore Thomas’ orchestra, a hundred | pleces strong, will participate in the ceremonies, The inauguration will be commenced, after the | overture to “King the Monument Executive Committee, formally pre- senting the statue to the Park Commissioners, ‘The statue will then be unvetled by Mr. J.

UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. The Alleged Fraudutent Whiskey Bond. Before Commissioner Shields. The United States vs, James A. Dorman,—The de- fendant is the proprietor of the National Mills, 505 to 511 Tenth avenue, and Is well and favorably known on the Produce Exchange. He was arrested on complaint of one Richard Saul for procuring a fraudulent bond for $20,000, to be made May 22, 1867, by which 163 barrels of whiskey were removed from the bonded warehouse of J. L. Woolsey, on ‘Thirty-seventh street, and thereby, as alleged, the government defrauded of the tax thereon. Saul testified that at that time he was a clerk in the em- ploy of the defendant, and that the defendant pur- chased the whiskey of one Bidwell and the order for it made to Saul; that the bond was repared in his name, with two bogus ondsmen, at request of defendant, and that on this bond the whiskey was removed from the warehouse to the defendant's rectifying estab- lishment on Tenth avenue, near ‘Thirty-eighth street, and was never returned. Saul was saed on the bond, and thereupon made the complaint. Evi- dence was introduced yesterday on the part of the defence to prove that the whiskey was never sold to the defendant, and.at the time alleged Saul was not in the employ of the defendant, and that at that time the defendant neither owned nor carried on a rectifying house, On motion of his counsel, Edward L, Parris, de- fendant was honorably discharged. Finale of the Edwards Case. Before Commissioner Osborn. Harry Edwards, a seaman on the Norwegian bark Skjold, was arrested on @ charge of assaulting the mate of the vessel. He was discharged on habeas corpus, on the ground that the case was not covered by an extradition treaty. He was again arrested on the same charge, and was again discharged, on the ground that although a treaty had been made covering the case, the treaty was inoperative, owing to its not betng followed, a3 was required by its terms, by a proclamation from the President. Just prior to Kdwards’ second discharge the President issued the required proclamation, and Edwards was no sooner discharged the second time than he was rearrested the third time on the origi- hal charge, it being contended by the Norwegian Consul that Edwards could be held under the treaty, although the proclamation making the treaty valid was not issued until after the commission of the of- fence by Edwards, Judge Goodlett (Edwards’ coun- sel) controverted this point, and obtained the third and, as stated, final diicharge of his client. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Alleged Signing a Deed When Drunk and Suit to Set It Aside. Before Judge Leonard. Ebenezer Bradliston et al. vs, the Avenue 0 Railroad Company.—Application was made in this Court yesterday by the plaintitts, owning more than a majority of the first mortgage bonds of the defen- dants’ road, for the removal of Shepherd Knappas trustee of that mortgage. It was urged on behalt of Mr. Knapp that, notwithstanding the character of the application, it remained discretionary with the Court togrant it or otherwise, as it thought best. The first mortgage on the road, it was claimed, included, so to speak, the body of it, while the second mortgage carried the body and the extremities, The parts not included in the first mortgage were important auxiliaries to the busi- ness of the central Pathe of the road, and as Mr, Knapp was advised that a sale of the whole road together was for the best interest of all concerned, he had, ag the trustee of both mortgages, com- menced a foreclosure on both, intending fo bring the funds into Court to be there Senor eaned among the two classes of bondholders. On behalf of the peti- tioners it was urged that they had advanced their money on definite property and had aright to its return out of that property, and they desired to urchase in that property and not be embarrassed y the necessity of purchasing other property at the same time and then having their money tied up ina long and Sapeniive litigation. They desired for this reason to have a trustee of thelr mortgage entirely devoted to their interests. The Court took the papers, reserving {ts decision. Decisions. Otto Sachse vs. Cassandra Sachse.—Judgment of divorce granted on report of referee. Gustav Bishop, Jr., vs. John L.

Malcohn ys, Allen et al.—Memoranda, SUPERIOR COURT—3PECIAL TERM, A Police Justice in Court—A Family Quarrel, Before Judge Curtis, William P. Powers vs, Ann Powers and Thomas Kivlin.—The first named defendant was the mother of plaintif® and the second defendant is his brother- in-law, the present Police Justice of the Second dis- trict. The first named defendant has died since the | commencement of the present sult, which is based on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the plaintitt out of his share of his father’s estate. His father, he alleges, died possessed of four lots in this city} leaving a widow and three children. The story has been pontehes before in the HkRALD, from which it will be remembered that the plainti® says that in 1867 he was in the habit of drinking to excess, and while grossly intoxicated the defendants induced him to signa deed, giving away all his share in his father’s estate fora nom- inal consideration, which he never received. This suit is to set aside this deed on the ground of fraud. This story is denied by the defence, and they say he was paid his full share, and more, too, in the stock left in his father’s place of business. Judge Kiviin testified that he never saw the plaintitf intoxicated; that he was quite sober at the time he executed the deed in question, and that he read it over carefully and with full knowledge of its contents when he signed it. The case is not yet finished, COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TEAM—PART |.

MARINE COURT—CHAMBERS, Motion to Set Aside an Attachment, Before Judge Spaulding. Muller vs. Wilkins and Behn and Rawizer vs. The Same Parties.—This was a dual motion to set aside anattachment obtained by the plaintiff in each case. It appears that the two defendants, Wilkins & Behn, were until recently partners in the grocery business in Delancey street, and that a few days since Behn brought a suit In the Court of Common Pleas to havea receiver of the firm property CF jointed and for an accounting. The defendant Wil- ins, in order to defeat the purposes of this action and to prevent Behn from obtaining his share of any proceeds, procured two attachments against of reach of the recetver. | Judge Spaulding, after carefully reviewing the | facts presented in each case, discharged the attach | ments, with costs. | | COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. the firm property, so as to place it, as alleged, out | for May 2 The Fifteen Year Old Murder Case Once More.

His Honor said | | | | | | | the people were ready to try the case.

She testified that he dragged her down into the passage way and there violated her person. As Soon a8 she was released by him she called a Buber, who found the prisoner secreted under Ducanl was sworn in his own behalf, throu; interpreter, and sald that he could speak ryt tg lish and never saw the woman before.

Hartford and Burton were each sent to the State Prison for two years and six months. A “Dangerous” Theft of Three Cases of Pistols. Robert Henderson pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, the allegation being that on the 30th of April he stole three cases of pistols from lus. employer, Charies Folsom, valued at $500. Ho was remanded for sentence, and no doubt leniency will be extended to him, for his counsel stated that Dis- trict Attorney Garvin was in favor of stich a course, in order that Henderson might be used asa witness against the receiver of the pistols, to whom the youthful criminal sold them for €200. Acquittals. John Love was tried upon a charge of cutting Oficer Francis Seavers in the face with a small knifo on the 5th inst., but, as the officer could not tell whether it was Love or his associate who stabbed him, the jury rendered a verdict of not uilty. 3 Join Flood was arraigned upon an indictment for receiving stolen goods, It appeared that a youn; man, named Join Donnelly, stole @ horse an wagon, the property of Margaret Baker, and sold them to Flood for $175.
