WALL STRERT, Frmay, May 25—6 P. iu} ‘On *Obange to-day wheat was firmer but duller, Wiour was easier, if not heavy, and cotton strong. Two or three failures in the cotton trade were reported, but names are withheld in view of a prom- {se that the trouble may be only temporary. THE COTTON MOVEMENT, The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past ‘week were 12,083 bales, against 15,187 bales the previous week. The total receipts since Septem- er 1, 1871, are 2,641,119 bales, against 3,756,898 for ‘the corresponding period of previous year, showing decrease in the present crop of 1,115,799 bales, The exports trom all the ports for the week were 28,838 bales, against 56,540 bales for the same week dast year. The total exports for the expired por- tion of the cotton year are 1,836,252 bales, against 2,802,984 bales for the same time last year. ‘The stock at all the ports is 211,020 bales, against 300,843 bales for the same date in 1871, THE MONEY MARKET ‘was easy, with a steady supply to the stockbrokers at 6 percent and to the government dealers at & aGper cent. Prime paper was quoted 7a 8 per cent discount. Foreign exchange was unaltered, THE BANK STATBMENT. The chief features of the bank statement area decrease of over two millions in loans and a gain of nearly two and a half millions in the supplies over the legal reserve. The coxtraction in loans ts not readily explained, unless it represents the liquidation in the stock market during the ‘week by large holders who (borrowers previously from the banks) sold their stocks and returned the loans. Considerable of this is thought to have been done by the operators in Paciflé Mail moro es- pecially. The actual gain in legal reserve has been over three millions, qomposed chiefly, as may be in- ferred, of legal tenders, the gain in specie being rather larger than was generally anticipated, con- ‘sidering the outward current of specie. The banks have now $9,815,675 in excess of the required re- serve—a gain for the week of $2,426,575. The statement compares with its predecessor as follows :— May 18. May 25. Changes.

Governments responding to this gdvance, gold, which had fallen off from 118% to 11334, recovered to 113% again in view of the Jess sentimental feature of the week’s specie ship_ ‘ment amounting to close upon four and a half mil.

The specie exports for the week were $4,378,679, of which $3,755,000 was American gold coin, The total exports of specie for the week and since the beginning of the year have been as follows :— Total for the week. + $4,878,697 76 Previously reported.. 18,057,564 66 Total since January 1, 1872.. 12,436,244 42 Same time, 1871 + 82,357,362 10 Same time, 1870, + 12,263,887 87 Same time, 1869. 13,116,358 00 ‘Same time, 1868 87,644,971 00 The Gold Board adjourned at three o'clock, a pre- edent which will be the rule for the remaining Saturdays of the summer season.

Its tone was also heavy, under a disposition to sell noticed early in the forenoon, and the excellent bank statement and promises of a passage this evening of the Supple- mental Treaty resolution failed to revive its droop- ing tendency, Just as the bank statement got into the hands of the early birds who figure for it from daybreak every Saturday, and therefore on this occasion was supposed to be capable of “making a market,” the larger ‘bulls’ gave orders to sell, and stocks were rattled out at a lively rate, but the abundant offering occasioned a more serious decline than was anticipated in view of the ex- pected effect of the bank statement, and the orders had to be withdrawn. A reaction followed, but the disclosure of weakness had frightened off the timid would-be buyers, and engagements were, there- fore, generally deferred until next week, the lucrative prospects of stock investments on the eve of the ratification of the Supplemental Treaty to the contrary notwithstanding. The stocks more particularly pressed for sale were Northwestern, Pacific Mail c. C. and L. C., Western Union and Boston, Hartford and Erie. Harlem declined from 127 to 124.

Montgomery, on his way to “the land of music, love and flowers,” stopped at Baltimore, where he sold a bill of goods and received the pay for them in checks. ‘The firm allege that he did not transmit the checks to them, but kept them himself. Yesterday he returned from his trip, and was at once arrested and taken before Judge Hogan, at the Tombs Police Court, where he was searched and checks to the amount of $2,300 found on his person. A complaint was taken against him, on which he was locked up in default of $2,000 ba: THE ENGLISH OLIGAROHY ABUSED. To THE Eprror oF THE HERALD :— Can it be possible that the poltroons who are at the head of our national government at Washings ton can so far forget their high position as the representatives and servants of the American people as to sink the station and themselves into the lowest cesspool of disgrace and dishonor at the menaces of the English oligarchy ? Do they fail to feel the public pulse? Can they not comprehend the tone of public feeling and sentiment in this country on the Alabama claims question? We look in vain at the muddled state of that question for an afirma” tive answer. However deplorable war may be, I risk nothing when I say that nine-tenths of the American people would rather have war with all its evils and its horrors, than to yield one iota to the dictation of the English government. Nationa honor and dignity are far preferable to pounds ster- ling, or the Washington Treaty, so called, I say, therefore, hold firmly on to the position assumed by the government of this country and the people, Let the Alabama question and consequential damages and all go to the Geneva Tribunal for final settlement. War is far preferable to the position of the nation which has backed down at the badger- ing and Nos tat 2 of the English Parlia- ment. t the rant administration, in- stead of going rouge this backing down ordeal, appropriate $100,000,000, and at once put upon the stocks bald first class tron war ships, Strengthen the forts throughout the country an perfect the torpedo system. This solution of the grave difMiculty will hardly meet the approval of the man of one idea at the head of the peaeury, who cracks his Treasury whip in the ears of his satellites and minions as the sig- nal to new acts of plunder and robbery to be added to the Interminable list of spoliations. The Trea- sury spies who infest the country are let loose ae the people generally, and upon the small manu turers in particular, who, by some hook or crook, are beguiled into some technical violation of the revenue meshes, and thus, “having no rights which @ white man is bound to respect,” are hurried off to rison and @ part of their hard-earned effects go Into the pockets of the scoundrels who do the dirt, work, while the balance rolls into the plethoric cof- fers of the one-idea man, who coolly turns the key on it and there holds it, at the expense of our merchant marine, onr navy, our forts, &c., all of which are sunken to contemptible proportios while he 1s fondly imagining himself a financier an statesmen. A truce to the day of smail things, small men, small heads, minim and minnow states- ONK OF THE PROPLE, THE COURTS. The Avenue C Railroad Mortgagee—A Marriage Declared Null and Void—Van Saun Admitted to Bail—Decisions. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. The Trusteeship of the Mortga: the Avenue C Railroad. Before Judge Leonard. It will be remembered that a few days ago appll- cation was made in this Court by a majority of the bondholders under the first mortgage of the Avenuo C Ratiroad to remove Sheppard Knapp, the trustee of that mortgage, on the ground that he being the trustee of both the first and second mortgages in- tended to purchase both together. To this the ap- plicants objected, claiming that the first should be purchased alone for their benefit. Judge Leonard took the matter under advisement, and yesterday rendered the following opinion, which, from the peculiar nature of the case and the interests involved, we give in full:— ‘This application is made by a majority in interest of the bondholders under the first mortgage cover- ing a portion only of the railroad. Mr, Knapp is also trustee under the second mortgage upon the same portion of the railroad, and covering also the other portions of the railroad upon which there is no other mortgage lien. The only com- Perey aguinst him as trustee is that he eclines to employ counsel for the foreclosure of the first mortgage, selected by a majority in interest of the bondholders under that mortgage, and also de- clines to elect to act as trustee ony under one of the said mortgages, and to resign his trusteeship under the other. There {s clearly nothing affecting his character for integrity embraced in the charges, and itis by no means clear that he is not acting with sound judgment in declining to act separate! in foreclosing either of the sald mortgages in whici he is named as the trustee upon the default which has occurred, The question as to whether the road shall be sold under foreclosure, in parcels according to the portion included in the first mortgage, may be, and probably is, one of nice discretion to be ju- diciously determined by the Court after evidence has been taken showing how such a sale may affect the interests of the bondholders under both mort- gages, and also the stockholders of the raliroad cor- Upon poration. If the property mortgaged will clearly ring more than sufticient to satisfy both mortgages by selling the road in one hea cel as a whole, while it might prove insufficient. to satisfy the one or the other of the mortgages if sold in separate portions a case would arise where the Court would be justified in considering the re- ports of the stockholders on a foreclosure sale, and the subject should be decided upon equitable discre- tion. There are other aspects also in which the question might oe presented for the exercise of equitable power as to the order or manner of the sale, Clearly the rights of the bondholders secured by the first mortgage are to be protected, 80 a8 to secure, if possible, the full amount due and the sale of the portion mortgaged thereby in a separate par- cel would be justly required if a larger deficiency would arise by the sale of the whole road in one parcel. Lam inclined to the opinion that Mr. Knapp has not acted unwisely nor against to interest of either of the two classes of bondholders by prose- cuting both mortgages to a decree of foreclosure in one action, and without giving any prefere to the one or the other. The subject of the order of sule of the property mortgaged will be for the Court to decide in view of all the facts to be pre- sented at the trial on that question, and as may be consistent with the rights of the two classes of bondholders. I do not consider the right o1 removal absolute upon the application of the majority of the bondholders, The removal is not to be capri- ciously made, nor withoat suflicient grounds, The motion ts denied, but without costs, A Marriage Declared Null and Vold. Some two years ago Carl Von Engweihingen came, as alleged, from Germany to this country, leaving behind him a wife to whom he had been several years married. Shortly after his ar- rival he found the acquaintance of Emma Gruber and married her at Morrisiana, the ceremony being performed by a justice of the peace of that town. They llved happily and had a child now twenty-two months old, A few weeks ago the first wife called at their residence; the husband was absent; but the second wife was told by the first wile the fact of his prior marriage with her, which fact the husband on his return home acknowledged. The matter was brought into this Court and Mr, Richard C. Beamisy appointed referee, and before him were developed the above facts. He reported in favor of declaring the second marrirge null and void, and the Court to-day confirmed this report. Meantime the twice-married Von Engweihingen, hearing that proceedings were to be instituted against him for bigamy, has skedaddled, itis said, to parts unknown, Van Saun Admitted to Bail.

Messrs, Howe and Hummel appeared for the defence, and on the case being called, moved the discharge of their client on the ground that the board on which the bill or bills are alleged to have been posted itself encroached on the city property to the extent of an inch and a quarter, and further, that it was erected on its present site without the least shadow of anthority from the city government, in conse- quence of which it is public Voge | and any and every one is at liberty to make use of it as they see fit. ‘The vrigoner was acautted, ay. | be taken to By SEW YUKK HMRALD, SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1872—QUADRUPLE SHEET; * peing determined by the renewed strength of the THE BRUSSELS MURDER. The Accused Brought Into the United States Court on Habeas Corpus. fas the State of New York the Right to Ex- tradite Where the Federal Gov- ernment Has Not? ANOTHER EFFORT TO SAVE VOGT. The case of Joseph Stopp, allas Carl Vogt, charged with the murder of M. 0. Chevalier Dubois Bianca on the 2d of October, 1871, and the burning of his chateau, situated just outside of the city of Brussels, Belgium, was up in the United States District Court yesterday morning before Judge Blatchford. The case and the proceedings thus far taken in its connection are rather pecu- Mar, and involve a very grave question, viz., the right of a State to extradite a prisoner in face of the fact that the federal government possesses no such right where a treaty of extradition does not exist between this country and the country where the crime was alleged to have been committed. It will be necessary to briefly review the particulars of the crime with which Vogt stands charged to get at the unconstitutionality of Governor Hoffman's action. Vogt arrived in this country shortly subsequent to the murder of the Chevalier Bianca. He was arrested in the city of Philadelphia on a telegram from the Brussels authorities, and taken before United States Commissioner Shields, in this city. The Belgian Consul here applied for bis extradl- tion, but upon examination it was found that no treaty existed between the two governments, consequently Vogt could not be sent bac Part of the bonds stolen from the Chevalier were found'‘on the person of the prisoner. A warrant was then sued out from the General Ses- sions for the arrest of Vogt on a charge of grand larceny, and he was immediately taken into cus- tody, after his discharge by Commissioner Shields, and lodged in the Tombs, This could be done on the ground that where aman brings stolen goods into this from another country he can be extra- dited and tried for the offence where the theft was conunitted. Such is the gist of an old law of the State of New York. On this warrant, then, from the General Sessions, and upon the ‘decision of Governor Hoffman to the above effect, Vogt was kept in the Tombs preparatory to shipment to Brussels, ‘To-day a writ issued by Judge Blatchford, on the application of Messrs, John L. Anthon and William F. Kintzing, counselfor the accused, was return- able. At the time appointed word was sent from the Tombs that the prisoner was not held on a charge of murder, but under the jurisdiction of the Court of General Sessions, on a warrant charging grand larceny, and therefore it was not imperative on the State authorities to comply with the writ by producing Vogt. District Attorney Garvin, who, with Mr. A. 5. Sullivan, appeared for the people, said, upon the case being called, Vogt was committed by Justice Hogan on a charge of larceny, he having been sub- sequently indicted by the Grand Jury. He was now held on that indiciment. Judge Blatchford said, in reply to Mr. Anthon, that he had no cognizance of the action of the Gov- ernor, He then, upon suggestion of Mr. Garvin, dismissed the writ, and almost immediately after the prisoner was reconveyed to the Tombs, Now, here is the question:—Has the State of New York the right to send the accused back upon an application from the Belgian government when, if such application was addressed to the United States government, to which it should properly be ad- dressed, it must have been refused, as no treaty exists between the countries, nor does or can any exist between Belgium and the State of New York ? A Respite for Vogt. ‘The chances of Carl Vogt seemed hopeless enough in consequence of the action of Judge Blatchford in dismissing the writ of habeas corpus. It was ascer- tained that Vogt was to have been shipped at three o'clock for Brussels, where he would be tried, un- ba Grey street, on Mon afternoon, at one o'clock, Rotatives and friends, and also the members of the Young Men’s Father Mathew T.
