Torrents in the Niagara—How Coffer- dams Are Sunk Above the Catéract ang Pen Four Ente, July 20, 1972 The International Bridge, building for the Grand ‘Trunk and Great Western Railroads at Black Rock, four miles below Bu‘Talo, across the Niagara to Canada, ia to be an iron span resting on eight abutments, Its entire length 1,400 feet. Anybody who has seen the flerce element of this river as it rushes: out of Lake Erie for twenty miles to the great alls, whirling along and carrying with it thousands of loose rafta of timber, and now and then a too reckless boatman, faintly struggling against, the rushing water and soon lost from sight forever, ‘as he is swept over the cataract, can imagine what difficulties have to be overcome to establish a bridge at this point. For three years some of the best British and American engineers have with un- tiring energy pushed forward this great undertak- ing. Caissons and foundations were sunk, only to be swept away by the torrent as rapidly as they were put down. Wrecks of former structures, strongly bound and iron-fastened timber, strewn along the river banks below, and whirlpools mark- ing the spot where others, carried out of position, are held by some hidden rock, tell of the many dia couraging and fruitiess attempts of the past years, involving a loss of millions, The greatest dificulty bas been experienced in reference to the three middle piers in a depth of from thirty-five to forty- five feet of water, to the erection of which the entire past year has been devoted, but withont success. Otto Meyer, of New York, was engaged last winter to construct and sink coffer dams for these three piers. He has been for six mouths pre- paiing a coffer-dam of his own, length 126 feet, width 82 feet, and depth to suit the river, 36 feet, for pier No. 6, It is sha:pon both ends; has double sides, closing at the bottom, forming a space tl feet wide around the sides for depositing stones, leaving the centre of the coffer dam 0} for the caisson, in which the pier is afterwards built. The largest anchors and chains from the navy yards of New York and Montreal were secured, through the kindness of the different departments, and on the 12th instant Captain Meyers’ “ship without a bot- tom’? lay moored before eight of the most weighty ancho:s ind chains that have ever gone through a forge, six feet above the position of the pier to be wilt, At one P. M. preparations were made for sinking. Several hundred tons of stones were thrown in the apertures on the sides of the coffer-dam until it had sunk within eighteen inches ot the river bed. A number of barrels had been arranged previously under water and fastened on the woodwork, their buoyancy lifting the structure about two feet; these were ail held by one rope, which being cut, caused the barrels to float and submerge the coffer-dam deep cnough to strike the bottom. Six very heav: lron-pointed posts or “spods” running throu shoaths or sockets, three on each side, were hoisted and Lani to ove At four P. M., everything being ready on shore and on board, the craft was quietly let own stream’? by her anchors until the engineer on shore signatied “in position.” The fag was raised “all right,” and with the order “Cut away,” the barrels floated up, tle Llron spods di op) burying them- selves In the river bed, and with a light shock the coife: dam rested securely on the bottom of the Nia- gara, on 9 deposite of gravel and stones, This gra- vel stones has to be removed by a ea here ready for the purpose, and superintended by Mr. W. W. Collins, Below the gravel the solid rock is found on which the piers are to rest. Three divers from the new Blavkfriars Bridge, London, are clearing away the obstructions around the shoeing.” They now and then come in contact with pieces of wreck and sunken logs, A large navy pistol, of British manufacture, brass mounted, with barrel very much decayed and its wooden butt petrificd, was also found in the siver bed by the divers. It is a relic of the Revolution, and Was, no doubt, lost overboard fonr miles pds near the old Fort Erie, during the battles for liberty. Until the bridge Js finished, the large steam ferry Near Buiiato continues taking the trains across Lake Erfe to the Canada landing, This route an- swers very well in summer, but the large iceflelds during the winter season make it a hazardot {gueney, For the safety of the travelling public it is hoped that the trains will pass over a good sub- stantial bridge before next winter.

NonFOLg, Va., July 19, 1872, The United States steamer Yantic, which has been undergoing repair for the past year at the Gosport Navy Yard, is about ready for sea; a few days’ work will finish her, when she will be at once put into commission and sail for China and the East Indies, She was originally one of the ninety-day vessels, built during our late unpleasantness, was schooner-rigged, and rather an inferior vessel in most respects. While on her last cruise she was run on a rock off San Domingo, and broke her keel, when she was brought under ‘escort to this yard for repairs, On taking off her planking she was found to be so completely rotted that it was deemed advisable to rebuilt her, and now she is about ready to leave the lands of the workmen one of the finest third rates in our navy. She is fall ship rigged, of a beautiful model, sharp, long and narrow and sits very deep in the water lore masts are high, and with her spars are of beautiful proportions; she will be likely to prove one of the fastest ships we have. Her battery will consist of one eleven inch pivot gun forward and six nine-inch broadside guns, ae possibly a 100 pound Parrott gun on her forecastle, monitor Mahopac is still in the dry dock nn- gen oing repairs, and it will be some months yet efore she 18 ready for sea, All her wooden deck beams have been taken out and iron ones are being substituted In their stead, which will make her much stronger than before, and add but little, it auy, to her weight. When finished she will be an iron ship throughout, with no wood, except a light false deck over her iron deck to obviate the effect of the heat and cold of the iron on the feet of her crew. The South Atlantic Fleet. Despatches from the South Atiantic fleet, dated Rio Janciro, June 24, announce the arrival out of the Supply and Portsmouth from New York, with officers and men for the feet. Both ships were to be sent back to New York at the earhest possible moment. It was thought the Portsmouth wonld sail on her return voy about June $0, and the Supply would be detained a few days longer. The Ticonderoga satied June 22 on a cruise to the ports of Brazil. The Wasp was at Co- loma_ on tie ith of June, On the 20th of June the vessels of the fleet dressed ship, and at noon the Lancaster fired a salute of bie gre guns in honor of the accession of Quecn Victoria to the throne of England. The French corvettes Laplace and Fort Villegog also saluted with twenty-one guns. Naval Orders. Surgeon J. C. Spear is ordered to the Omaha; Licutenants W. H. Parker, BE. Woodman, J.

NorFouk, Va., July 19, 1872, The usual quiet of this littie Southern city was broken on Friday last by the arrival in the harbor of the Prussian squadron, consisting of the steam corvettes Venita and Gazeile, commanded ny Cap- tain Basch, an oMcer who formeriy served im the United States Navy, and who has lately been brought in such prominence befere the public in consequence of his capture of the entire Haytien navy (two vessels) at Port au Prince @ short time since. Tre Gazelle was allowed to come up to the city at once, but the Venita was sent to Quarantine until yesterday, when she was allowed to come up to the city, the report of her having yellow fever on board proving to be false. Roth ships are good models of naval architecture, but present no striking fea- taces to mark them as fast or different from the or- dinary model of @ corvette of twenty years ago, The beanty of the ships a& vessels-of-war consists of the very fay oan batteries which they carry. All thelr guns, broadside as well as pivot, are of the finest steel breach-loaders that are known for naval service, They are known as the Krup gun, and did most excellent service in the late war with France, Now that the Pruselan officers, marines and sailors are all tian ran on shore and spending tkeir money (nll gold and silver) in the free man- ner for whicii satlors are noted the world over, tho shopkeepers of Norfolk have had a sudden and pleasant awakening from their usual somnolent state, and, contrary to their custom, all Smiics and birt al No wonder either, for sucha shower of lucre in the shape of gold and silver seldom visits the city. The shopkeepers a'! seem to think they must make the most of it, but somehow the ma- jority of shem forget, in giving change, that there is a slight digerence between gold aud HbACKS, and the galiors go off witn the impression that oid a if not quite as good as greenbacks, but no better, FROST IN ULSTER OOUNTY, Povcnkerersix, N, Y., July 22, 1972. | Repoi 4 from the Interior of Ulster county tell of | ) @ tight frost there on Sunday morning | Judge Barnar | Judge Barnare | duced BARNARD'S IMPEACHMENT. Proceedings of the Court at Sar toga Yesterday. Going Over the Anew—Evidence of Nehemiah Millard in the Nyce Case—Ad- journment of the Court Till Tuesday. SARATOGA, July 22, 1872. ‘The Court met at ten o'clock A, M. The President calied upon the managers to open the case. Manager Alvord said that, following precedente, he, with pleasure, yielded to the counsel employed on behalf of the managers the duty of opening the case, Mr. Van Cott then proceeded to open the case, commencing with a brief history of the purposes of such courts as this, and detailing the history of the country in this particular. He also defined the duties of a judge, and claimed that the respon- dent had administered his office with an utter dis- regard of his duties, He referred to the great su- premacy of the law, and that it was the principle on which rested our'system of government; that our wovernment was a government of law, and not ofmen; our Judges were required to adhere strictly to the law and not pervert it. Jt was their duty always to decide according to the law. There were cases in which judges will mistake the law and thus make a wrong decision. In such cases the judge is excusable and he is excused. All he claimed was that the Judge shall decide according to the law; but if he pervert the law, if he departa from the law recklessly and with criminal intent, then he ts subject to be impeached. | We should, however, be charitable in our inves- tigation of his conduct, giving him all the benefits of a doubt, and if he is found to have perverted the law punish him, If he has merely mistaken the law he should be excused. Counsel then cited a number of cases, which he detailed, to show what IMPFACHABLE OFFENCES were, The first was the case of ship money judges; the next was the case of the Judges who advised the King of England he could dispense with the laws, that he could direct the judges how to decide cases, Also the cases of Judges Chase, Shippen and others. Judge Chase was acquitted because he bad decided according to law and not contrary to law. On the other hand Judge Addison was convicted for deciding in violation of law. He also cited a ease in Pennsylvania where the Judges had im- prisoned a defendant for contempt of court, which contempt consisted of a published libel. The Court was governed by English law, which they supposed npc here. It was contended that the Judges could not punish for contempt not commit- ted in the presence of the Court, An exhaustive trial was had and the Judges were acquitted ou the ground that they had mistaken the law. Counsel cited other cases with a view to show THE PRACTICE IN SUCH CASES, He then proceeded to consider tne specification in the charges before the Court, with a view to enable the Court to see on what ground we regard the respondent guilty of impeachable offences. He then referred to the ee ointment of a rec the Erle case, and held that whenever it was con- sidered nccessary to remove an obstacle the respondent was ready to lend the assistance of his prerogative to accomplish it. It was only neces- sary to (33 into the respondent's Court with the nanie of James Fisk, Jr., or that of Jay Gould to secure @ process to estop any one. proceeded to detall the office of the Court in such cases, ita power and the object of such proceedings. In the appointment of a receiver, the receiver being an officer of the Court, the property taken is held by the Court. It takes possession of the pro- perty simply to hold it for further preceedings and so that it may eventually fall into the ands of the rightful owner. Now, when the Court comes to ex- amine these various orders it will find that none of them were ever sought and obtained for the ultimation of some right; they were brought only for the purpose of seizure to secure possession in behalf of those making the application. Counsel then, at some length, stated the case of THE ENGLISH 8TOCKNOLDERS and the manner tn which they were treated, show- ing that the suits were mere shams and thata leading judge was used as a tool, disgracing the judicial bench of the State of New York and bring- ng it into reproach. Counsel then passed to the Allany and Susquehanna Railroad case, merely referring to it,and took up that of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, in which Judge Barnard had declared that he had driven one set of scoun- drels out of the be! of New York and he would drive another out, and he did so, depriving the maarag us of one of the largest corporations in the country. Counsel then gave the history of the action of Judge Bar- nard in the case of ihe New York Pier and Ware- house Company. In this case Judge Barnard or- dered that a number of shares be allowed to be voted, which order the inspecter of the election re- fused to recognize, on the ground that he could not do so under the law. Then Judge Barnard issued an order appointing a receiver to take possession of the books of the company. The trensurer, Sher- wood, refused to deliver the books, when in stepped aman with an order to arrest him—prepared in anticipation of Sherwood's refusal—and he was taken off to jail. Counsel then referred to THE CASE OF GODDARD Vs. STANLEY, the Pacific Mail case, which was a case originally of a demand for payment of an indebtedness, and which culminated In an order declaring that unless the money was paid bee certain hour he would impriaon, the party to whoin it was directed, ‘onnsel asked if ever a more lawless order was issued by a Judge, and concinded by saying it was for the Court to determine whether such lawless proceedings were to be permilted—proceedings | more appropriate to the Barbary coast than in the State of New York. The counsel forthe prosecution then proceeded to examine their witnesses, Nehemiah Millard was sworn:—He was the attorney employed by John Nyce in a snit brougnt against the Erie Railway Company. he first pro- Hl ceeding was to procure an injunction order; I pro- | curedit, in company With my partuer; we obtained it at Chambers.” ~ ucstion—Whe prepared the complaint’? ir.

Raphael. The examination of the witness was then re- sumed. The witness said:—The next — proceed- ing was I received notice of a motion to” dissolve the injunction; that was cariy in May, 1870; Mr. Evarts appeared for ‘he motion; Jndge Fithian and myself argued on the other side; the motion has not yet heen decided; there was some motion for contempt against the defendant, but that was set aside or withdrawn; the motion to dissolve the injunction was i before Judge Cardozo; there was another motion to dissolve the Injunction made before Judge Brady and set aside. ee i” ves hore ae praere vacating ‘ders of injunction issued by Judge Brady anc identified them, pit: Mr. Beach obje sted to them as immaterial, as ier had no connection with tie defendant. r, Parsons said it was neccssary to show how it ‘was that Judge Laruard issued orders, and Wilhess continued — 1tuink J did not obtain any other orders from | Irecollect obtaining orders from Tobtained the order for contempt but Ido not recollect what it was for; tat was all T have any knowledge of, THE CROSS- EXAMINATION, Cross-examined by Mr. Beach:—I am familior | with the business transacted at the Chanbeis; | this injunetion was obtained at the ordinary time at Chambers; Justice Barnard was there transact- ing tiat kind of business; it is transacted gon- eraily In haste; donot think it is customary for {er to look carefully over papers of compidints had not had any communteation with Judge Bay. nard in regard to this injunction prior to the ap. plication; never had ten minutes’ talk | with Judge Sarnard off the bench; do not { think my client had any conversation with him; he came to my office, was intio- to me and handed me ‘iis complaint, which I examined carefully; 1 concladed it was a | roper complaint, one on which an injunction could | issued; @ motion was mado to dissolve the in- {unction on the complaint and affidavit by Charics burke; that was within a week after the injune- ) tien was injunction city funy; toak prgument way, besore | of five per cent will | ty et crossing of the Morris and Kasex Railro: to went there in had no Knowledge ilroad the ir Railroad; I eae no) ‘on behalf of a stockholder; in conversation with Mr. Lane bor 8 o me mui tee mot allow his connection with me rn case in any way. 4 PiGounsel read copies of the complatnts of Fisk and) others against Heath and others, which he offe in evidence ; the ordor sprointing James He Coleman receiver, issued on 23d of June, 1f and the injunotion, against transterring the stock: Heath and Raphael. ° ADJOURNMENT. } Mr, Van Cott said the witness who had the paperd they wished to introduce was absent, and it woul ane the proceedings to adjourn till to-morrow : Senator D.

Has the Attorney General the Right to Sue for the People’s Money —Am Old Law Says He Has. To Tug EpiroR oF THE HERALD:— Having carefully read the arguments of counset for the people in the above case, as also the argu- ments of counsel in behalf of the demurrer, and finding that counsel for the people overlooked citing the law passed April 24, 1829, which gives ta the Attorney General the sole right to sue in be- halfof the people, and which, despite the common! law right which the people in the above instance. have, this act makes complete, and directs the mode to be pursued, It reads a8 follows, to Witi— CHATTER 252, its mt Lehalf of the people of this’ Ap . The people of the State of New York, represented im Senate an) Assembly, do enact as follows :— e Sxction 1.—Where any one or more of the officers or agents of this State, citer by his or their name or names, or by the name of his or thelr office or offices are or shall be of if the parties to, or shail have executed or shall hereafter execute any bond, covenant, + aad promise or agreement in a matter concerning the people of this State and in which the said people and not such officer or agent aro or shall be the real party in interest, it shall and inay be lawfal to bring and maintain actions against the othér party or partics to any. such bond, covenant, contract, proinise or agreement, for the breach or non® erformance of the same, in the name of the people of State, in ihe same manner and will the Ike effect as though hn id ople, instead of such officer or age had been nt named and deseribed as a party to, and had executed fuch bond, covenant, contract, promise or. agroement; butno such action shall he brotght except by the Attor: ney General on behalf of the people, Here then is a complete remedy by this act, and pointing out that the suit must be brought by the, Attorney General in Deliott of She pegple ‘The first matter to be considered under the above recited act is whether it was to the Mayor and Common Council of the city of New York Tweea and Connolly gave any bonds as to the faithful per- formance of any duty imposed on them, or did they give the bonds for like faithfub performance to the commonwealth. In either case itis the State that has a right to sue, for the Mayor and Common Council of New York are the agents of this State, to sue by their namo or the’ names of their oficers, to see that certain duties and acts be performed in certain parts of this commonwealth, and that clearly, brings them under the first part of this act. Sxc. 2, Thongh it may bo tothe Mayor and Common Council 'a bond may Le given, they aré not the real par- fies in interest. It is the people; and theretore by the ubove recited act the people, in the name of the Attorney General, is to sue. Ul This, to my mind, Is a most complete act, giving the right to sue to the people, and I cite it because T have seen it was not cited heretofore, thinking it may throw the necessary light on this much vexed subject. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS NOLAN, I have seen the bonds in the above cases, and they come within the above act. T NEW YORK CITY.
