THE COURTS. CONTINUED FROM EIGHTH PAGE. Lesite, of the Eleventh precinct, against Adolph Laible, It appeared from the testimony that the accused, who lived in the tenement house at 119% Willett street, was slightly intoxicated on the af- ternoon of the 18th of May, and so violent in his conduct towards the family that his wife went to the station house to procure tho services of ap officer to srrest tim, Oficers Lesiie and Finne; ‘were immediately sent,and upon arriving at the prisoner's ments Knocked for admittance, but were ret . Leslie pushed in, but was shoved out by the defendant, and then obtained entrance to his room through a rear apartment. The door was barricaded, and according to OMcer Leslle’s account Laibie was seated upon a trunk, and when he ap- hed him (Laible) he setzed a cleaver and hit him © forehead with the flat aide of it, after which the officer hit him with his club. They tuasied together and fell on the bed, OMoer Leslie being on top. At that time Laible struck the officer another blow with the reine? wee ea wound, wherew Leslie, in the Finnegan, struck tho defendant several blows with his club.’ Both of the men were confined in the hospital several ae The story of the accused, who was proves. to @ peace German, was entirely aa hs was corroborated by his little daughter. stated that when the oillcer entered the room he struck him first, and brutally assaulted him, ‘The jury rendered @ verdict of guilty of an assault with intent to do bodily harm, and very strongly recommended the defendant to ‘judge Bedford said that the verdict was a right- ‘gous one and promptly suspended judgment. BROOKLYN COURTS. UMITED STATES DISTRICT COUBT. Suit for Wages, Before Judge Benedict. José Rodrigues, steward of the brig Lola, brought ‘@ suit to recover wages at the rate of $40 a month. Payment was refused on the ground that he was not shipped for the whole voyage from New York to France and back, and that he was 1nco! tent to [segie the duties of his position. The Court held the shipping articles were not the only evidence of contracts, but that yerbat ents by shipping mts were binding on the owners. Inasmuch ag the libellant and landlord both testified t the agreement was $408 month and that the voyage was to end in New York, and as there was no testimony to the contrary, and in- competency not being proved, the Court order a decree for the libellant for $40.a month, less pay- SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT. Whe Dishonor of a Wife—@3,000 Damages Awarded. Before Judge Tappen. Edward Schissel vs. Ferdinand Belzer.—The plaintiff alleged that the defendant had dishonored ‘ais wife and claimed $5,000 damages. The parties ‘to the suit live in the wastern District. Belzer is a man about fifty years of age, while Schissel is some erent rears his junior. 8. Schissel testified that she been the defendant's mistress for four years before her ma! e, and that after her mar- tiage she endeavored lead & ous life, but ‘was defeated in this by Belzer’s threats and vio- Tenoe. There was no testimony zee defence. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of piaintitr for $3,000, Whe Kuickerbocker Mulcted. Susan A. Joyce owned a horse and wagon.

The proceedings were enlivened at the outset by & sharp rebuke administered by Commissioner Sutherland to the clerk who usually represents the Comptroller. This gentieman kept the Commis- sion waiting for him three-quarters of an hour over the proper time, and Judge Sutherland warned him that such gross neglect must not occur again. Claims 2,288, 2,381 and 2,242, for paving Fifty-fifth stroet,from Eighth avenue to Hudson River; flagging Fifty-first street, from Broadway to Kighth avenue, and paving Eldridge street, from Division to Hous- ton, were passed on the evidence of James Gearty, who testified that the work had been done well an that there was no fraud in it of any kind. Gearty admitted that the said claims, however, had been ed to a third party. Another lively discussion ensned between the supposed representative of the Comptroller and the Commissioners, One of the latter asked the clerk whether he had any objection to the claims in ques- tion, whereupon that gentieman explained that he Aid not represent the Comptroller in any way. Tho remark was made in a tone of apparentiy pregnant meaning, and Commissioner nes said he did aot hn to sit unless the Comptroller were sent—in person or by deputy. An- other of the Commissioners, however, pointed out that the law under which they acted simply re- juired that the — trolier should have an oppor- unity to examine into the claims, not that he should necessarily be present. The matter*was, therefore, arranged and the work of examination ‘waa continued.

Thomas Fealey’s claim, No. 1,597, was also passed without bag Sores Thomas Owens’ clatm, 2,141, was contested by Mr. Jamoa Wilkes, a property owner, on the ground | that ho and other Fsavenen interested had paid out of their own pocket for part of the work.

WALL STRERT, Frrvay, June 21—6 P, M. On ‘Change to-day wheat was quiet and lower. Flour was in fair demand. Cotton was dull and heavy. MONEY FOUR PER CENT. Money waa easy and unchanged; that is, the gen- eral rate on call was 4 per cent, with some excep- tions on stocks at 6 per cent and on governments at 3 per cent. A tairly active inquiry for prime mercantile pa- per is noted, and makers and renewers find ready accommodation. The rates range from 5 to? per cent for everything double-named running sixty days to four months. Indeed, three months papor is rather the favorite with many buyers, and four months is just as negotiable with some parties as sixty days. Foreign exchange was dull and steady on the basis of 1095; for prime bankers’ sixty-day sterling and 110% for sight bills. THE MATURING NEW YORK STATE DEBT. A telegram from Albany received at the Manhat- tan Company this afternoon states that the Auditor of the Canal Department has directed the payment, in coin, of the principalof the State stock known as the floating debt loan, maturing July1. This action of the State authorities provides for the re- demption in coin of all the State indebtedness fall- ing due on the date mentioned, and serves to make @ precedent for the redemption in coin of all bonds and other obligations of the State created before the suspension of specie payments. GOLD sTBADY—113% a 1185. The gold market opened steady at 11334 and stood 80 for a good portion of the day, or until the news from Genova of the virtual settlement of the ques- tion about indirect damages induced a weaker tone and occasioned some sales at 113%, the heaviness of the market at this time being aggravated by the announcement that the engagements of specie for to-morrow (Saturday’s) steamers were only $150,000, inclusive of a proportion of silver. At this stage of the dealings the gold clique seemed to think that policy required their support of the market—and by vigorous bidding and considerable buying they advanced the price to 113%, at which they held it to the close. The Sub-Treasurer disbursed $183,000 on account of redeemed five-twentics and $9,000 on account of interest. The course of the market is shown in the table :— 10 A.

The Operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows :— Gold cleared.......... Gold balances..... Currency balances. GOVERNMENTS QUIET. Governments were quiet and steady, with a slightly firmer tone at the close, in sympathy with the little advance in gold. The ’67s in London ad- vanced % per cent to-day, indicating the effect of the reported elimination from the Conference of the indirect damages question, although the improve- ment is of course largely referable to the reduction yesterday of the Bank of England rate of discount. The following were the closing quota- tions:—United States currency sixes, 11454 a 11454; do. do., 1881, registered, 114% a 114% ; do. do., coupon, 119g @ 119%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 113% a 114% ; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 113% & 114545 do. do., 1864, do. do., 118% a 114% do. do., 1865, do. do., 11434 @ 114%; do. do., 186" registered, January and July, 112% a 115; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 116% @ 11634; do. do., 1867, do. do., 117% @ 11734; do. do., 1868, do. do., 11734 a 11734; do, fives of 1861, funded, registered, 112% a 112%; do. do., coupon, 112% a 112%; do, ten-forties, regis- tered, 110% @ 11034; do. do., coupon, 11134 a 11134. SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULI—SHARP DECLINE IN SOUTH CAROLINAS. In the State bonds Tennessees were steady at the advance, and the general market dull. The new South Carolina July issues broke to 28 on a renewal of the dispute between the committee of the Stock Exchange and the Warehouse Company as to the registration of the bonds. The latter insist upon a fee of one per cent for their services. Meantime the unregistered bonds are continued as a good delivery until September 1, as against July 1, as originally arranged by the committee.

STOCKS DULL AND STRONG. The stock market was exceedingly dull, but with 4 firmer feeling, particularly in the atternoon, when the reports from Geneva were taken to meana satisfactory settlement of the questions mooted in the Washington Treaty. The chief improvement was tn Rock Island, which advanced about one per cent, and the greatest decline in Erie, which touched 61%, but ralMed to 52%. In the other stocks the fuctuations were unimportant, but the changes were generally for the better, and the clos- ing prices were mostly the highest of the day.

New York, June 18, 1872 To THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— During the late session of Congress General Banks offered @ resolution in the House of Representatives to investigate the affairs of the Northern Pacifico Ratlroad, This measure was introduced at the re- quest of numerous bondholders of the company, and was promptly referred to the Pacific Railroad Committee of the House for careful investigation and appropriate action. The committee were notified, through the custom- ary channels, of certain grave, charges against the individuals entrusted with the management of the company and its finances. In reply to such notif- cation the counsel for the bondholders were in- formed that an appointment would be made for a full and impartial hearing of the charges and speci- fications. Relying upon this engagement, the coun- sel employed to vindicate the accusations of an illegal employment of the moneys subscribed by the bondholders for the building ofa Pacific railroad, and for no other purpose, have quietly and patiently awaited a summons to Washington city. While thus attending for an opportunity to pro- tect themselves against the illegal acts of their agents the bondholaers received intelligence from @ member of the Pacific Railroad Committee of cer- tain extraordinary action taken on behalf of the parties arraigned, It appears that during a late meeting of the com- mittee a report favorable to the Northern Pacific officers was proffered to the members by their own clerk, with a request for their signatures. In the absence of any hearing of charges or any investigation except an ex parte one, the committee absolutely refused to adopt the report in favor of the present administration of the company. Upon the failure of this effort it was proposed that twenty-five copies of a statement by the directors to the committee be printed for the use of Congres: men only. This proposition was strenuously op- posed on the ground that it might be construed into @ degree of action favorable to the present mana- gers of the company. However, the printing was ordered upon the dis- tinct understanding that these few documents were not to be misused or perverted Into a committal of the government in favor of the present offictais of | the Northern Pacitic Railroad. After this decided reusal to act in favor of the directors and trustees the committee adjourned, | upon the understanding that nothing more wonld be done in the matter this session, leaving the | charges to be presented to the committee at the | December meeting of Congress. | Under this proviso several members of the com- mittee “paired off” and went to their homes some days before the adjournment. To the surprise | of those gentlemen and of the Northern Pacific bondholders, an announcement appeared in most of the morning papers, except the HERALD, that the Congressional Committee had formally approved the conduct and legality of the present management of the company. All the members of the committee were absent from Washington in the last days of the session, and the telegram announcing this proceed- ing was notcredited by them, and is scarcely crede ited by them at this moment. The Northern Pacific bondholders have this morn- ing received a despatch from their counsel in Wash- ington in the following terms :—‘‘A report was sub- | mitted to the House by Mr. Sypher, of Louisiana, from the Pacific Railroad Committee, during the closing moments of the Jast night's session. So | the Journal Clerk of the Houso informs me, and | that is all he will say about it. The report covers | fifteen pages, and Nght favorable to and made in the interest of the Northern Pacific Rail- road officers, a8 ex-Senator Wade has ordered ten thousand copies, and is impatient to get them.” So the facts finally appear that after the oppo- | nents ofareportin favor of the Northern Pacitio | Rallroad had left the Capitol, after the committee | had, a few days before, distinctly refused its sanc- | tion to such @ repd and without any hear- | ing or notice of hearing of the charges made by the bondholders agains! their trustees, this adroit movement was executed, to shelter the parties arraigned under the excitement and hurry of the | closing hours of a session. Notwithstanding these mancuvres, the scheme will wholly fail of success, The bondholders of the Northern Pacific Railroad will present the members of Congress with their charges against the custodians of their property during the recess, and in this way protect their sy at the coming session. motion will then be made to recommit this re- | bse that it may be supplemented by the charges of | he injured principals, and not wholly confined to | the laudation of inculpated agents. The HeraLp very hy tay 4 declined to publish the agitated tele. ‘ans from Washington regarding this matter, and is, therefore, the yd medium for this general correction of a bald statement which might other- wise produce a very erroneous impression. . §.

Indeed, Lord Westbary, formerly Lord Chancellor, and one of the shrewdes® lawyers that ever sat on the woolsack, ald, Ina’ Monday night, in the House of Lords, “As to the treaty Itself, I think three charity boys of ten years: old might have succeeded tn making a more ntel- ligible one.” But the disingennousness of Mr. Glade stone and his colleagues in the itne of policy subsequently adopted with respec’ to the interpretation of the treaty has been quite on a par with the want of sagacity and judgment displayed in the negotiation of it; and 1s is to thia phase of the question that I wish more particularly to call the attention of your readers, When the British government originally agreed te send Commissioners to Washington the conditioa of affairs in Europe was so critical that, from one day to another, it was quite ancertaitn whether England might not find herself involved in a grea Continental war, the result of which no hama! Presclence coulda foresee. She was Sager, there fore, to consent to any arrangement which weuld relleve her from tho danger necessarily resulting from having tho unsettled claims of the United States hanging over her at so imminent a crisis. During the interval, however, which elapsed be- tween the ratification of the treaty and the opem ing of the American case at Geneva, the aspect of affairs on the Continent had ceased to be of 2 men- acing character; Great Britain had recovered from her fright and Mr. Gladstone had made two discoveries—first, that in the case of the direct claims the decision of the arbitrators was very likely to be against England; and second, that, now that the nation had recovered from its panio, the imposition of an additional two pence or three pence tn the pound income tax to pay sald claims would render any government which imposed tt extremely unpopular with the great mass of the middle classes, Indeed, the result would probably be to drive the liberal party at once {rom power. In this dilemma Mr, Gladstone was not unwilling to catch at any excuse to withdraw from the troaty, and the, I must say, Ill-advised presenta. tion of the indirect claims afforded him & plausible pretext for doing 80. At once the Times, Telegraph, Daily News and other liberal journals, taking their inspiration from members of the House of Commons known to be en rapport with the Min- istry, sounded the alarm. A very pretty littic stormy was ralsed against the United States, and in the excited state of public feeling Mr. Gladstone was enthusiastically cheered by both sides of the House when he made those rash and violent remarks om the subject of the indirect claims, which he subse~ quently was under the necessity of retracting. In his eagerness to impute sharp practice to those who hadhad the management of the American case, Mr. Gladstone forgot, however, that as socom as the exasperation against the United States gov~ ernment, which the pene had fanned almost to & white heat, had had time to cool a little, he and colleagues would be certain to calte to account for ratifying a treaty couche@ in such ambiguous terms as to have aforded @ loop- hole even for the insertion of the indirect claims, And, a8 a matter of fact, such was the case. Ing short time a reaction took place in public sent ment, and the anger of the community was shifl from the United States to the government an those who had negotiated the treaty on its behalf And not without justice, it must be admitted, in the light of recent revelations; for it now appears from the speech made the other day by Sir Stafford EH. Northcote, one of the English Commissioners, thas the treaty was intentionally silent with regard to the indirect claims, on the —— that if they were expressly, excluded the American Senate would possibly refuse to ratify it. Sir Stafford indeed added that the American Commissioners ae promised that the indirect claims shoul not be pressed before the arbitrators at Geneva, which latter assertion has been denied on your side of the water. It is obvious, however, whether it be correct or not, that the English Com- missioners wero Loerie aware that, by the tex® of the treaty, the Indirect claims were not expli- citly excluded from forming part of the American case; and it is not credible that they should have concealed this circumstance from their own gov- ernment. How, then, in the face of these facta, could Mr, Gladstone declare, as he did, in the House of Commons, that ‘no one who had read the treaty could have the slightest doubt that, by tte terms, the mdirect claims were absolutely ex- cluded Mr. Gladstone, in the speech above referred ta, gave a pledge on behalf of Her Majesty's govern- ment that under Mo circumstances would Ahoy be induced to enter into arbitration on the indirect claims, or proceed with the treaty until those claima | had been unequivocally withdrawn. Subsequently | Mr. Gladstone found it expedient to effect a ‘chan of front,” and he renewed negotiations with the United States for an amicable settiement of “a verata questto—not with any very strong idea but simply in the ope head the storm threatened it. better reception . The American successful, from his devoted | of publ indignation which His proposal met with a | than he had _ = anticipat ople, with that singular yenness to conviction by argument which is one of their most strongly marked characteristics—Mr. Disraeli said on oi occasion in the House of Commons that a friend his, who had spent some time in the United States, had declared it to be his conviction that the Amert- cans wore the most tractable people tn the world— had become convinced that the indirect claims had better never have been introduced into their case, and were disposed to withdraw them from the con- being eae ic | sideration of’ the arbitrators, if it could be done consistently with the national honor. But in com senting to entertain the supplementary article the American government exposed itself to be both misunderstood and misrepresented. A dogged tenacity of opinton 1s one of the most stron, marked idiosyncrasies of the people of tl country. “An Englishman never knows whem he is beaten,” one often hears it triumphantly said here. But this very unwillingness to admit defeat, however admirable a quailty on the battle field, 1s not quite so desirable a one in everyday life, wher it assumes the form of an utter deamess ta reason and argument, It thus follows that the Englishman, as rule, neither sympathizes with nor understands the style of mind which induce: @ map, When in the wrong, to admit himself to fo. The Briton is, frequently, but too apt to re; any concession on the ot of an adversary as tl result of weakness, and is disposed, therefore, to take advantage of it. From ttia idiosyncrasy of his country Mr. Glad. stone is by no means exempt; and he has sho during the latter part of the negotiations, a marks disposition to look upon each concession of the American government as simply 4 stepping stone to the exuction of another, hoping one of two pee either that the negotiations would be bro« ken off altogether (in which case tis Cabinet would not be under the necessity of incurring the odiuny of imposing an additional Income tax), or that the, concessions made by the United States would be 80 substantial a character that the prestige of hav~ jug exacted them might be an equivalent in the eyes of his countrymen for the pecuniary dam: they might be ultimately called upon to pay.
