BLESSING FROM THE GOLD FIELDS.—PROFES. | Both Sides of the Case—Reckless westruction of Machinery—Threate to Burn Down the Abattoir—Two of the Alleged Leaders Arrested—Damages Laid at Twenty Thousand Dollars. The men who a few nights ago undertook to abate what they considered a nuisance at the abattoir in Communipaw are likely to pay very dearly for their whistle. An injunction was granted by the Chancellor yesterday restraining Street Commissioner Van Keuren and all other persons from attacking, breaking orin any way damaging the Property of the ferttlizing company. The com- pany have instituted proceedings in the United States Court and in the State Courts. They had William Keeney and I. B. Culver, two of the alleged ringleaders, arrested on a crim inal charge which sets forth that they maliciously broke and injured the property of the platntiffs. The punishment in the statute for this offence is fine or imprisonment, or both. ‘The company intend to have every man concerned in the raid arrested on a similar charge. A civil suit was also commenced yesterday against the raiders, damages being laid at $20,000, In order that both sides of this case might be placed impartially before the public & HkRALD re- porter called on the gentlemen who represent the contending forcea yesterday. He first called on Street Commissioner Van Keuren, who mar- shalled the forces for the attack. The reporter discarded the professional interviewing system and condensed the Commissioner's statement. Mr. Van Keuren commenced by showing the affidavits in the case and the city ordinance relating to nuisances, which certainly has the true ring of the ukase of a despotic monarch and strikes sharply on republican ears, The powers granted therein are most excessive, and yet it is claimed they are constitutional in view of the wel- fare of the community at large. It authorizes the Street Commissioner, the Chief of Police, or any alderman of the city to enter any premises where he may suspect there is a nuisance, A notice of twenty-four hours to abate the nuisance will suffice, The Street Commissioner or Chief of Police can, in case the notice is disregarded, enter the premises and carry oif the machinery and other property employed in maintaiping the alleged nuisance. his property can be sold after due notice has been given, and when a fine of $20 and all expenses are deducted the residue, if any there be, is handed over to the late proprietors. But the ordinance nowhere provides that property shall be injured destroyed, and this is just the rock the raiders stumbled over. Mr. Van Keuren observed that a notice had been served by him on the owners of not only the fer- tilizing establishment but of the abattoir a week before any vigorous action was taken. He had notified the Central Railroad Company that the dumping of garbage must be discoutinued, and the notice was attended to, The abattoir men said to him, “Now, look here, Ben, can't you shut up that blood fertilizing establishment, and if there be any smell {n the lopailt, atte y that We will take the responsibil = and wé wilf shut up dué place + That looked fajr enough, und he hoped that all wor ¢ lovely till-he received information that the fertilizing process was being continued. He consulted his legal adviser, and was instructed that he could enter the premises, stop the work and deprive the company of the means of continuing their operations, but that to erform this duty legally he must catch them in he act. That was why he made the raid at night, asthe men in the factory had been carrying on their work under cover of darkness, He brought a squad of ten men and twenty-four policemen, He ordered his laborers to remove the belting and portable machinery, but the breaking of valuable parts of the machincy was done with- out his authority, He had been advised by an eminent lawyer that in sanitary measures the law conferred almost unlimited power. He did not like the duty at all, aud he could not understand why the Common Council should impose new duties on as hands were always full, If they kept on in this way they might yet ask him to perform the duties appertaining to all the public offices. With regard to the abattoir men, Messrs, Gillett, Freese, MePherson, Sherman and othe “we have kept our agreement with them, but they have not kept their agreement with us.’ He understood that the fertilizing company was at it again. He had notified them that the next call he would make on them would be in the daytime. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. The reporter next paid a visit to Mr. Hand, the secretary of the fertilizing company. ‘That gentle- man gave a succinct and lucid history of the com- any and the circumstances that called it into ex- istence. A company which had been pre- viously organized at the abattoir in Communipaw had proved a failure, and the company to which he belonged purchased all the EPs leases and property vested ta the bankrupt concern. The present company was organized in August, 1870, passing down to the events which ce rise to, or were even remotely connected with, the present troubles, he said that in their contract they agreed that they wonld forfeit said contract if it were proved before a competent court that they maintained a nuisance. Dr. Craven and Messrs, Freese and Payson, who had been runuing a little business of their own in the abattoir, fell upon the company, and preferred a demand, whicn had no foundation in justice; but, to get of any further annoyance from them, the vite paid them twelve or fourteen thousand dollars. They alleged that Hogel, who was she originator of the fertilizing business, had anti®pated some of their plans, and case. therefore, they were entitled to a share in the ofits’ of Hogel’s successors in the business, The whole case is pendin in the Court of Chancery between the company and the gentlemen mentioned. These gentlemen had the work done while the company was erecting machinery, and when the company proceeded to carry out’ the work on its own hook these samo gentlemen persisted in dipping their fingers in the pie, and using some of the blood contrary to the contract. The company obtained an injunction from the Chancellor which prohibited any person from entering the premises to take the blood except the agents of the fertilizin: Somusny. On that day these gentlemen declared war against the company which thwarted their schemes, and when they could obtain no satisfaction otherwise they incited a feeling of indignation in the locality. against — the pbeeres! Semen: Hence the present outcry by some of the residents and the late raid. No complaint was ever made till that injunction was obtained. There has been ever since a conspiracy to drive the company out of the place altogether. Mr. Keeney came to their office and told him that he would burn down the place if they did not get out, Vor this threat he would hold Mr. Keeney responsible if anything of the kind should happen. They came to our place in the night, caught the watchman by the throat, placed a pistol to bis head, broke the eccentric rods of the engines, shivered the belt wheels to pieces, cut and carried away the belting, and broke even the steam vaives and oilcups, This they did under color of law, The damage already sustained by us amounts to SIZING | 4), Monue Turning | $5,000, We have 400 tons of stuff ready to be round, aud if through this raid we are unal o fill’ ow orders, some one wiil pay the } Gamages. The object of the conspiracy is plain. If they can stop us the abattoir men will step in and say:—“You have violated the terms of your con- | in failing to carry away the blood as we sup- ply it.’ Mr. Keeney, a stockholder in the abgt- toir, carries on this war against us.

A very hot reception will be given to those who attempt any such experiment. ‘hat it 18 most unpleasant to reside in the vi- cinity of these establiximents during the summer season cannot be denied, That many of those who complain are eeiny, and respectable peopie {8 certain. But fo every unpreju- diced mind the conviction is irresistible that the loathsome atmosphere which settles in the district is due almost entirely to the odious dumping nuisance on he shores of the bay. | The sight of animal and vegetable matter festering in the sun, and within 600 yards of human habita- tions, is one of those evils against which the peo- ple of Jersey City have cried ont for the past seven pares and from which they obtained only @ partial respite, ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFRAY.

It is stated that shortly before twelve o'clock on Tuesday night an altercation ensued in Eleventh street, between avenues A and B, between McDonald and James Lamb, during which, it is the latter drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed his adversary in the abdomen, as stated. Lamb, it is alleged, assaulted an aged man pring at McDonald's, when the latter remonstrated with him for so doing. This led to blows and the stabbing was the result, Lamb was arrested and locked up.

There had been abad bres, de piven ¢ parties, who fought with their fists about eight months ago.

ROVERS ON THE RIVER. A Ferryman’s Folly and a Daring Theft—How the River Thieves Made a Raise of Funds. The exploits of some of the river thieves who infest our river fronts are equally as daring as any oftiiose the young are wout to ascribe to Dick ‘Turpin or Jack Sheppard of ante bellum times; and were they vividly portrayed upon the boards, with the addition of blue hghts, flashes of lightning, swelling tides and swiftly moving boats, they would doubtless create as great a furor as the enact- ment of scenes in the criminal life of those fellows ofancient time. Among the many daring acts of the pirates of the rivers perhaps few exceeded one that occurred on the twelve minutes past ten o'clock trip of the ferryboat Commodore Barney, on Tuesday evening, from Grand street to Williams- burg, by which the ferry master on this side, Wil- ham Coffe, was robbed of a bag containing $9! which he was conveying to the head office on the Williamsburg side. It appears from his statement that as he walked aboard the ferryboat he observed a man, dressed in the garb of a boatman, Mose behind hin. His suspicions were not aroused, however, until he observed the supposed boatman pull ont a handkerchief and, swinging it, strike the bridgeman across the eyes as ne passed on to the boat from the bridge. This movement called forti: from the bridgema1 an oath or two, and Mr. Come thought the action of the passenger a little singu- lar. He, however, dismissed him from his thoughts for the nonce, and walking forward sleposited his bag of money in the room of Engineer Rasche, who was standing by his engine. As the vessel moved out from the dock occupants of a small port that was under the stern of | the Barney threw a line to another man, dressed aga boatman, and asked him to fasten it in the ring hook. The obliging boatman complied, and as itis a common practice for boatmen, when the current is rapid, to hitch on to. the ferryboats, thts manceuyre did not excite the suspicion of the ferry master in the least. A moment later the three oc cupants of the boat again calied to the boatman and requested lim to pass the end of the rope under | and over the centre of the guard chain to them, that | they could drop away when they desired. Again the obliging re ger complied, About this | bene the other con pclerats eae forward to the enging room, near the outsi yl fang He suspecthig aby an Lv t ed into the engine | ing, lit up to the door, the fellow reac bigar, took in with @ | © bag, which lay on the | | room, aud, while lighting his glance the location of seat in rear of the engineer, Retiring he walked np end down the deck smoking until the hoat was within a hundred yards of the Williamsburg shore. Coming again to the door of the engine room, and standing three fect in rear of CofMe, he intently bent his view pon the’ ma- chinery until the signal was given to slow do ‘The moment Rasche's hands ani eyes were employed directing his engine daring pirate snatched the bag, and, rapid), ning to the rear of the ferryhoal, threw it lito the small boat. and Raselie quickly detected th yemment, and ron to the rear of the boat-in pui butas they neared the thief he leaped into the water from tie deck, and just as Coffie jumped to catch the line of the smal boat it slipped over | the chain and the boat dropped astern. One of the occupants of it cried out, “Yake him up quick,’ and within a minute the boat- man had been rescued from the water, and before the ferryboat could be put about the thieves and their booty disappeared out of sigut under some of the piers, Subsequently the fellow who had struck the bridgeman with his handkerchiel, but who had taken no part in the robbery beyond securing the boat’s hawser and handing the eid of it back to its ocenpants, was arrested by an officer of the Brookiyn force as he left theferry bat, as an accomplice. He most positively denied the char, He gave his name as William Tracey and was held for further examination. The above facta were obtained from the cashier in the office of the company on the | Willtameburg side last evening, as the engineer and ferry master were not to be found. It 1s very evident that the robbery was adroitly planned in expectation of securing a larger amount of booty It 1s forturrate for Coffie Mat he failed to cateh the hawser of the thieves’ boat as it went over the ard chain, for they would undoubtedly have shot im down had he done 80.

BARNARD'S IMPEACHMENT, An Interesting but Unprofitable Session Yesterday. JUDGE BARNARD AND HIS FAMILIARS, oa Nats The Evidence for the Prosecution in the Erie Business Closed. Coarse and Ungenteel Language on the Bench. Revelations Concerning Barnard’s Jubilation Over His Enemies’ Defeat. Norman B. Eaton and the Erie Railroad Gang— A Court Reporter on the Stand. Saratoaa, N. Y., July, 24, 1872. On the opening of the Court this morning Wil- liam H, Morgan was recalled and examined by Mr. Parsons, of counsel for the prosecution. He did not recollect that any one accompanied him to Judge Barnard’s house when he obtained the order appointing Coleman recetver; Judge Fithian ac- companied him to Fisk's office and Fisk swore to the papers; “Iam almost positive that Jucdge Bar- nard was holding court at chambers when I went to him; I read the complaint to him; can't say whether 1 real the whole; I don’t know whether I stated that the stock I asked for was the English stock; can’t now say whether I read that part of the complaint; he read the order in which the names of Heath and Raphael occur; I don't think the complaint stated that, with the exception of 1,600 shares, the pluintitt did not claim to own the stock; [I don’t think there was any injunction restraining the transfer of that stock; I think it had been dissolved; Judge Bar- nard told me he would not issue any more orders of that kind; speaking of the Nyce suit, he wanted to know if this was another such suit; don't know that Judge Barnard knew Fisk was con- nected with the case; don’t know that I told him of it; if I read the complaint [ did; T went to Judge Barnard’s house one other time to get an order in a case in which Fisk was interested ; had been frequently to Judge Barnard for orders in cases in which Fisk was interested, at the City Mail; don’t recoliect getting orders from Judge Barnard at other places than the Court House or at his own house; may have done so, but have no recollection of it; have seen Judge Barnard four or five times at the Erie Railroad office; saw him in company with Fisk and others; never obtained an order from Judge Barnard at the Erie Railroad oilice; hawe seen JUDGE BARNARD AT THE OPERA HOUSE once or twice; can't say that he was in company with Fisk; I think I never saw Judge Barnard with Fisk at the Erle Railroad office when it was on the corner of Reade street; never met with -them together in my life; never took part in thet versation when they were together; did ni the order making Charles Robinson recei' with Judges Fullerton and Vanderpoel, who ob- tained it; when they got it don’t remember the changing of the date in the order February 15 to February 27; Judge Bar- nard retained the papers from Febiuary 28 til the time the sult was discontinued in the United States Court on March 11," Witness was shown the order, and said if the order was issued on March 9, a8 he saw it was so dated, he had It filed the next day; knew Charles Robinson ; had known him a year betore he was appointed re- friends; did not know of his having any connection with that oMce; dia not know who suggested his name for receiver. Witness was shown the order changing the name of James H. Coleman as receiver to Charles Robin- son, and said that he thought it was the hund- writing of Judge Barnard; cannot explain why this change was made in the order giving leave to sue in the case of Fisk and others vs, Heath and Raphael; the date was changed, and it anpears to have been written by Judge Barnard, This paper was put in evidence, The order appointing Coleman receiver was shown witness, and he was asked who made the change in the same. He sald it was all in his writ- ing, and he made the changes. He sald it was a rough draft, and he had no ne to make a copy he could not tell who made the changes in the da at the bottom; he could not tel! whether it was his writing or Judge Barnards; I think Judge Barnard signed the o} when Judges Fullerton and Vanderpoel were there, and then took tne papers, ay ying he wanted to look at them: don’ n't ‘now whether he changed the date from Fepruary 27 to March 3; when AT BARNARD'S IT0USE, Isaw him in the dining room; did not notice the furniture, Witness was called upon to describe th furniture of the Erie Railway office; did not noti that it was similar to Judge Barnard’s furniture, Cross-examined by Mr, Beach—Don't know that the Ene Railrocd Company has a monopoly in black walnut; that color is the commouest color used in New York; had nothing to do with the Nyce case; have no knowledge of the Erie Ratlroad Compan, being connected or associated with Nyce in tha case; J knew of all the Brie cases and Was engage in them all in some form; never knew of the Erie Railroad Company being at all connected with that, suit, nor of any one connected with the Erie Com any} iu the first Erie suit | was counsel; Judge Fithian and Vanderpoel were associated w. me; they examined the complaint Ldrew up: w worked ‘on it together; we deemed it a proper suit; Judge Barnard, when | took the papers to him, became acquainted with the sult by reading | the papers. ‘The witness then detailed the proceedings in the case; the propositions and agreements for settle- ment; there were two suits commenced by Fisk in the Heath and Raptiael matter, and in the second Robinson was appointed receiver; before this second suit was commenced counsel determined to discontinue the first; Judges Fithian and Vauder- poel Were present when tho application was made to Judge Barnard; the reason for changing the receivership from Coleman to Kobinson was that Coleman reused to act as receiver, A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR FEE. ‘To Mr. Parsons—Did not hear Southmayd repudi- ate settlement as proposed; I heard it satd that ‘Thompson represented Kvarts, and heard mayd gay that Thompson represented Vis; Lundersvood that $50,600 were to be pa: connsel of Heath and Raphael in this settiemcnt; I think this is to be found in the paper Witness was again cross-examined by when he stated further proceedings in the case.

CLOSE Counsel for the prosecution here announced that, as far as the Erie cases were concerned, the case was closed. Arthur Johns was called and sworn :—Was a law Court reporter and lawyer; know Judge Barnard by sight very well ; have reported in his Coart since 1864 nearly every day, Mr. Beach objected to the testtmony of this wit- ness, which was upon the third specification of article 87, which charged Judge Barnard with saylng, when Judge Clerke was Sropoess as a referee, that no man need offer that person’s name to him as referee; that he had led about him and had been his enemy, and that he favored friends and not his enemies, Counsel said charge was not of sumMcient importance for &@ solemn adjudication before a Court of Impeachment. He referrel to the fact that Judges were not all in the habit of using the most refined and genteel language, and claimed that such an offence was not a proper subject for inquiry. Counsel pursued the theme in ‘ule view at some length. He also cited a number of cases in England, in ancient times, of a most ridieulous character, and claimed that such a system did not Res in this country. He also cited a large num- r of opinions of some of the ablest jurists and statesmen of this country, defining what were im- achable offences, and which was not of the frivo- boys K poethaes of this one, Counsel spoke at much jength, Mr, Van Cott responded. He said that this was not in truth @ question of manners. Judge Bar- nard had deciared that he would not appoint Judge Clerke a referee, because ne sald that gentleman had lied about him and was his enemy; that his friends and not his enemies received favors from him ( nard). The question here was, then, whether the Judge had not been guilty of gross misconduct in thus declaring that his friends and not his enemies were to be rewarded with favors from him. This was the charge here; not whether he was guilty of COARSE AND UNGENTEEL LANGUAGE. Mr. Beach replied, maintaining that the offence was not an impeachable one, He also claimed that in reality the Judge was right in declaring that in | the selection of a referee, an agent to represent | the Court, he would select a friend and not an enemy—not # man who had lied about him, He said that it was the duty of the Judge not only to make such a selection, but to give his reason therefor; it was indeed highly creditable to the Judge to declare that no man who had lied about him, who had slandered him, should act as his agent, as hia delegate, as his representative. he Court, then, on motion of Judge Foiger, went into private consultation on the question. On the reopening of the doors the Chair an- nounced that the Court had embodied the decision in the following resolution :— Resolved, That the ohieétion be overruled, but without passing at ‘his time on the question whether a judici officer may be impeached for any act other than one which constitutes a crime. THE EATON AFFAIR. Arthur Johus resumed the stand and testified to hearing Judge’ Barnard use the language above stated about Judge Clerke lying about him (Bar- nard) ; wituess, referring to the assault upon Mr. #aton, said Judge Barnard, while on the bench, said;—“My enemies are unfortunate; one has dropped dead and the other has succeeded in getting himself hit on the head, and was hit a little too hard; it was’ general; reported that Eaton was hit on the head wit! sand bags; Eaton appeared in the case of Ramsey against Jay Gould and others; it was some little time after the proceeding before Judge Barnard when the assault occurred; Eaton was counsel against Gonld; witness knew H. J. Raymond, editor Of the New York Times; he died unexpectedly ; the Times bad been very hostile to Barnard and the Erie management. rhe Court then adjourned till to-morrow, at ten o'clock A.
