This compulsory way of doing, ‘the Btate service was not relismed by Moore.” His, counsel, Mr. William F. Howe, though ‘having worked with his usual p1 lonal Zeal #0 insure Iie acquittal and falled, wag not altogether willing ‘to let the matter drop if eny skilful legal ‘strategic Movement could be made in his behalf, bitving any possible promise of success.

What Constitutes a Residence, Before Judge Gross, % Sigismund Kasprowicz et al, vs. August Rein- hardt.—The proceedings in this Action commenced by attachment against tho property of the defen- Gant asa non-resident. The affidavit upon which the attachment issued showed that the defendant ‘Was a resident of the city of Chicago, State of Illl- Rois, and a motion was made before Judge Gross t discharge the attachment, on the ground that the defendant was a resident of the “cl of New ork. It appeared from the affidavits That the lefendant, seven months ago, moved his house- hold goods and family to the city of Chicago, and pas Until the 16th of August last, resided and done siness there. It is alleged that during the-first art of August he obtained considerable credit om different merchants in that city, and on the Sth and 6th of August Weare up his goods and grcperty in Chicago and secretly removed them this city, since which time he has boarded here with his wife. The only evidence pon which the defendant claims he is a resident of the city of New York is, that previous to his leay- me here he stated to his friends that he was only going to Chicago to make money, and that after he Made it he would return to New York. It does not appear that he kept any residence in New York qunte the time he was absent. He-also declared people in Chicago, whose afidavits were pro- qluced, that he intended to make Chicago his per- manent residence. While in Chicago he obtained a Ucense to manufacture cigars, and his. name ap- peed a the Chicago Directory as a resident of iat place. The Court held that the defendant could not as- sume 4 residence in this city; that he forteited it when he Jeft and has not regained it since he re- turned. ‘The motion to discharge the attachment ‘waa therefore denied, the Court holding that to dis- charge attachments in such cases would only ald Gishonest,persons in defrauding their creditors, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Motion to Bail an Alleged Bond Robber.

Judgo Leonard coincided with the view taken by Mr. McKeon, and said that asking the witness to go over in detail what he had stated in his direct examination was unnecessarily prolonging the in- vestigation.

This morning, on cross-examination, I asked one of the medical men to repeat what Miss McCabe had said to him on one visit he had made upon her, and Mr. McKeon objected on the ground that the Doctor had given afull statement on his direct examination. We went before the Court to argue that motion, In deciding the question against me, Judge Leon- ard took occasion to say that he had read the Doctor's statement in anewspaper, and that when he saw Miss McCabe on the witness stand his im- pression was that sho was a monomaniac, and that no fault could be found with her sister for placing her there, No evidence whatever had been intro- duced to ae the statements of Miss Rosa McCabe, and the remarks of Judge Leonard at that time I consider wholly unwarranted and out bs rene 4 laving stated to Judge Leonard that I would Not try a case before a judge who had prejudged the matter, I remarked that 1 retired, and for the present would leave Miss McCabe to such disposi- ton as he thought proper to make.

Aiken for burglary in the first degree.. The read- ers of the HeRaLD Will readily recall the full ac- count which appeared a few days ago of the detec- tion of Aiken, who, by false representations, se- sured an appointment upon the police force, an while professedly engagea in protecting the lif; and property of the citizens, he was perpetrating burglaries on several dwelling houses wit precinct, Mr, Kintzing appeared for the prisoner, and dur- ing the progress of the trial submitted af great many technical legal objections. After tie jury was sworn Mr. Sullivan, in opening t} briefly recited the facts which he e: Provo, and said that the bare recital of out ainy oratorical effort, would be s voke the attention of the jury to the ‘The first witness in the case was Herman Uhl, who resides at 140 Fast Sixteenth street when in the city. He left two servants im charge of the houge on the 13th of Augnst; on the morning of the lath of August a sult of clothes worth $120, silk dresses vglued at $1,000 and about $800 worth of silverware were ; the silk dresses were pane af found at the station house, which the complainant identified as a portion of the stolen Mr, Uhi said he Sequenty saw Aiken on Moer Lavew testified that Aiken had been a iceman in the teenth recast Som january the of his on the 26th of Angubt ne an ‘the prisoner, and received a ee iv 1 wn tickets from Captain Cameron, which wn offices ; the o1 or re- bi ed th ety ich they represented, and coyere rty W 0. re returned it tothe owners, among which was a. biack coat and a pair of pantaloons belonging to ir, Uhl. Bergeant Nicholson said that he arrested Alken on the 26th of August, and requested him to return tothe house he attempted to rob in Fourteenth street, and at that time told him it would be better for him tg tell all about the commission of the offence. Mr. Kintzing claimed that it would be illegal to admit the prisoner’s confession, and the Court was compelled to exclude it, Sergeant Nicholson sald that when he searched Aiken he found in his hands a carpet bag, and in it Were a screw driver, case knife, a piece of candle and a pair of false whiskers, and in the prisoner's pocket was sixteen pawn tickets, He & ie Ser- cant) gave the tickets to Captain Cameron. iken accompanied the Sergeant to a pawn- broker's place in Chatham street, where four silk dresses were obtained belongin; to Mr. Uhi. Captain Cameron said that en Was an officer in his precinct on the 13th of August, and that his beat was Sixteenth stroot, and. that he (the Oap- tain) received twenty-three pawn tickets from Sergeant Nicholson. District Attorney Sullivan said that he could not ask for a conviction for burglary in the first degree on the ground that the indictment specifically charged that Mr, Uhl was in the house at the time, while the proof showed that it was his servant who was there. He asked the counsel if he would go on with the larceny. Mr. Kintzing maintained that the accused could not be held for the larceny, as there was no proof that the property was in his possession. Mr, Sullivan argued that the accused could be held for larceny by having that which represented property in his pessession, just oasession of property for which lading when it was on the boat, The guage charged the jury that if the circurm- stances led them fo arrive at the conclusion that the prisoner was guilty of laxceny beyond a reason- ae rte they could convict him of grand or larceny, Pome jury rendered a verdict of guilty of grand larceny, District Attorney Sullivan informed the saage that there were other complaints against Aiken for burglary and larceny, and asked to have re- manded to be tried upon another charge. Judge Bedford said:—Alken, I am not going to gentence you to-day, I shall remand you, and I now request the District Attorney of the county to try you on every indictment found by the Grand Jury against you. Ido this asa matter of respect to the metropolitan police of this. city, for ke his ieee of saying that asa body of men jaye the highest regard for them, believing them honest and trustworthy y goaralaepor the life and property of their fellow citizens, I think where a man has so guiltily betrayed Sus trust as: you have it is time for the authorities to make an example. Ibelleve the whole police force would well satisfied if the District Attorney put you on trial upon every indictment, and I therefore sng- gest that he does so. In the meanwhile you are remanded, < Mr. Sullivan—Your suggestion will be adopted. The Grand Jury brought in three other indict- ments against Aiken in the afternoon, upon which he was arraigned. He pleaded not guilty, and the trial was set down for to-day. THE POLISH PASSENGER CASE, Testimony of the Captain of the C. H.

Hart and Mr. George J. Forrest-—resumed their investi- gation into the matter of the Charles H. Marshall at Castle Garden yesterday morning. The testl- mony taken was entirely rebuttal, and, as might naturally be expected, the officers of the vessel who were examined denied almost in toto the charges brought against themselves and the crew of the packet ship by the passengers on her last voyage to this port. General Hillyer appeared for the Commissioners and Mr. Hubbard for the owners of the vessel, James L. Forrester sworn—I joined the Charles H. Marshall in the capacity of first oMcer in July, 1870; she was commanded by Captain Charles F.

I personally superintended the enverh, of provisions to the passengers every Saturday. (The witness here described, and minutely and exactly, how the stores for the week were weighed an measured out to the emigrants.) I cautioned the passengers that if they thought their allowance short to complain to me on the spot, and then I would rectify the error, but if they went away and then came back I would do nothing for them; the crew would joke with the passengers as they came along to the barrels; I checked them as much as possible, but they would CONTINUE THEIR GIBES when my back was turned; no difference wags made between Jews and Christians; there was a separate galley for the Lge ay and four cooks for them, Who worked from six A. M. until seven P. M.; it was their duty to take food from the emi- grants, cook and return it; the Jews were not compelled to watt to be served; lights had to be putout at ten P. M.; in consequence of sickness among some of the women I allowed lights to remain all night, until some persons complained that others played cards all night, disturbing their slumbers; then I discon- tinued the lights for afew nights, but subsequently reallowed them; @ physician was aboard and hi attended every case of sickness; I went in the between decks several times every day; I heard no complaints about the food, but i had’to inter: fere frequently every day to stop quarrels amon; the passengers; only on one occasion did [ know any row between the emigrants and crew; I saw a Bian and his wife at the door of the forecastie making a disturbance while the men were at din- ner;I went forward to inquire about it and the Man told me he was a shoemaker, and had done some work for one of the crew; he bad gone to de- mand pay for his work and was THROWN OUT OF THE FORRCASTLE; I spoke to the suilors, and they said the fellow was begging biscuit and they drove him out; I took no further notice oy the matter; I never heard of ropes being tied axouncpassengers, of a stabbing case, or of a man batng held overboard by his heels; bal heforé the Captain died 1 slapped a passenger in the face because he “ASKED: FOR MORE,’ and when ¥ refused to Ie. him ave any ho dafled me liar and thief; I have*.seen the crew pull pas- sengers by tho coat tails and otherwise torment them, but I alwi stopped such goings on at once!

By Com/issioner Hart—Never saw the sailors abuse yersongers or strike them; they would not be likely to do 80 in my presence. By Yommissioner Wallack—The passengers were always quarrelling among themselves; the Jews and ‘Poles were especially troublesome; 1 did not re¢eive much assistance to promote discipline from -e second mate; but I did not discover the fact fantil towards the end of the voyage; none of the officers could speak German; I heard FREQUENT COMPLAINTS of insuMeciency of food; I never made any investi- ation unless @ man said his food had been stolen; if I found it was true I would give him some; if a man was starving from improvidence I would let him have ie ‘to keep him alive.

As many persons as were paid by Colonel Doty on the 4th instant congregated yésterday in the ro- tunda of the Custom House basement, fortified with their documents, upon which they were to receive their quarterly payments, Among those attending the majority were ladies, who kept their position in line with great patience, The first section of an act supplementary to the several acts relating to pensions, approved June 6, 1866, provides that ‘‘all persons by law enf{itled to a Jess pension than hereinafter specified, who, while in the military or naval service and in line of duty shall have lost the sight of both eyes, or who shall have lost both hands, or been permanently and to- tally disabled in the same, or otherwise so perma- nently and totally disabled as to render them utterly helpless, or so nearly so as to require the constant personal ald and attendance of another person, shall be entitled to @ pension of $25 per month; and all persons who, under like circum- stances, shall have lost both feet or one hand and one foot, or been totally and permanently disabled in the same, or otherwise so disabled as to be in- capacitated for performing any manual labor, but not so much s0 as to require constant personal aid and atvention, shall be entitled to a pension of $20 per month; and all persons who, under like circumstances, shall have lost one hand or one foot, or been totally and permanently disabled in the same, or otherwise so disabled as to render their inability to perform manual labor equivalent to the loss of a hand or a foot, Shall be entitled to a pension of $15 per month.” An act Lge the rates of pensions to cer- tain persons therein described, approved June 8, 1872, provides ‘ * * That all persongentitled by law to a less pen- sion than hereinafter specified, who, while in the military or naval service of the United ’ Biatés and in line of duty, th hands, or shall ‘J th feet, or been per- manently ana totally disabled in the same, or otherwise so ermanently and totally disabled as to render them ut- rly helpless, or so nearly go as to require the constant pergonal aid and attendance of another person, all be entitled to a pension of $31 26 per month; and all person under Ike circumstances, shall have lost one one foot, oF been totally anid permanently disabled in the same, or otherwise so disabled as to be incapacttati rforming any manual labor, but not so mitch ag to drove foot, or been totaly or one foot, the same, or ot! rorwise 50 a ir ine capacity to perform wmanual labor equivalent to the lous of a hand or foot, shall be entitled to. a pension of $18 per month, from and’ after the 4th day of June, 1872. The erent of pensions under this act com- menced with the ending ofthe present quarter, under which Colonel Doty has dispensed the in- creased rates to about eighteen hundred applicants, All those entitled to the additional sum by makin, application to him have their papers made ou and forwarded from his office free of charge, and ermanently disabled in ied as to rend the Day, of six months allotted at the next quarter day. The increase in pension 1s on a sliding scale, Th ‘tes are increased as follows :—Those hereto- fore receiving $15 now obtain $18; those $20 $24, and persons previously paid $25 now draw $31 25, rovided they have lost limbs or the equivalent: for instance, paralysis, &¢. The pension thus’ re- ceived is not for rank, but for disabilities, Among the noted personages receiving pensions for service during the late war or that of 1812 may be men- toned Mrs. General Robert Anderson, who, prior to. saliing for South France about ree weeks ago, left her papers with Colonel Doty, who forwards to her her allotment of $76 for three months, Mrs. Admiral D. G. Farragut also draws her pension at this office under the special act of Congress passed for her reltef, Thurlow Weed likewise receives a pension here for services rendered in 1812. The venerable Azariah 0, Flagg, late Comptroller of this city, but now totally bliin obtains @ quarterly pension for gallant conduct at Platteburg in 1912. Mrs. General Harvey Brown, of Fort Pickens celebrity, recelves a pension at the fate of $600 per aunum, and the widow of Generali Louis Blenker draws $30 per month, Altogether there are about 9,000 pensioners paid at this office, from ge in the army and landsmen in the navy to Major Generals and Admirals, ‘The total number of pensioners in the United States is 212,000, involving an annual expenditure of ng ad e only Sen required i Colonel Doty Is amore eligible jocation, where he could employ twenty clerks, and his enti ayments would be made ina few days, without Ihcreased expenses.

Caring for the Aged—The New Dwelling and Its Cost—Am Appeal. from the Sisters of Charity. The St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged, No. 209 West Fifteenth street—some time since completed— ig now, in its interior arrangements, rapidly Progressing. The building itself is of brick, with Ohio stone trimmings, and is of large proportions, having @ frontage of 105 feet on West Fifteenth street, a depth of 48 feet, with wings extending 100 feet, and an elevation of five stories above the basement. It contains seventy-five sleeping rooms, an infirmary, a doctor’s room, nurses’ rooms and two large open wards for invalids, The first floor is devoted to a suit of parlors for the reception of visitors and the friends of the institution, with some reoms for the inmates. The kitchen and the refectories are in the basement. On the second floor is the chapel, which is very handsomely gotten’ up, the windows being of stained glass. The altar 1s to be of white marble—the gift of a charitghie lady in the city—and over this will be a pain! of the death of St. Joseph, upon which Signoy Bro- idi is now daily at work. The corridora/are all $ and the rooms, which are of vi sizes, to #ul¢the tastes of the inmates, are provided with all the improvements required for an institution of this kind, It is expected that 200 aged women can here find a home without Inconvenient crow . ‘There are at present in the building about sixty old Jadies, their ages ranging from up to near a hundred years; and already the Sisters of whose the Home is, for , are daily besieged wit applications admission.

So far they have got from the city two ap- Sreeriadions Ces each, and this ig almost he money that has been contributed. With so large a debt hanging over them they feel that the Peppers! too speedily come to their assistance. ‘he charity itself in which they are engaged is 60 appealing, the fopolient. voice coming as it does from feeble and helpless old age, that they with feet er confidence lay their claims before the pub- mony of the Catholic churches in the city have Petntd em of their sympathy and given them mises of & nerous support, prominent among hese being St. Joseph’s church, which has a pe- cultar interest in the institution. The Very Rev. Father Burke, the eloquent preacher, has also promised to deliver a lecture in aid of the Home, the object of this being to put the institution proj @ly before the trish Catholics, for whose benefit the Home grins was founded, Some time next month, too, @ fair ona grand scale will be gotten up, to aid which, persons of all creeds and clases will be invited. Ladies are requested to begin to prepare for this display, as the Sisters, relying in a eat measure on its success, even for artial Hquidation of the indebtedness, desire that t shall be considered not as the business of one ae but the concern of the Catholic community at large, INTERNAL REVENUE AFFAIRS. Only Two Out of Sixty Distilleries at ‘Work—Making Whiskey in Cities Don’t Pay—$3,000,000 Recovered for the Government. Every once in a while the seizure of an illicit still operated by some venturesome individual in the puriieus of Brooklyn is reported, but may be classed as @ sporadic case and of such diminutive dimensions as to scarcely merit the mention, When it is considered that prior to July 20, 1868, there were in operation at one time in the City of Churches upwards of two hundred of these contra- band poteen shops, the valuable services of the authorities in squelohing the same are more thor- oughly appreciated. Under this law the office of Supervisor of Internal Revenue was conferred upon Mr. Silas B, Dutcher, who has held the post- ion ever since, and as a reward for his onerous labors he was reappointed under the recent law, making ten districts out of the twenty-five, which went into eperation on the 1st of Al it. Supervisor Dutcher has now under his chargé twenty-six col- lection districts, embracing the entire State of New York. On his accession to office there were in the city of New York and Brooklyn sixty registered dis- tillerles, twenty of which were in operation. Owing to the great value of real estate in Oy Ba aid n demand whatever for the swill of th is fr distillation with which to feed cattle, it is next to impossible to Brains spirits at the ruling cost of the article and make a profit. Consequently, to make it pay, distillers were forced to defraud the government on the taxes. No city North can com- pete with the West, which is the grain growin; Tegion, and spirits in barrels can be transported a’ one-tenth the cost it would involve on the Ketel amount of corn. Supervisor Dutcher stopped that business, and we have now but two distilleries a’ i in the Eastern and Southern districts of the 2. An efficient and faithful execution of duties on the part of the Supervisor, while it has materially reduced the revenue on spirits, has increased the same in other ways, and since Mr. Dutcher’s admin- istration he has saved the government upwards of three million dollars, which was recovered through his office. The Supervisor's Bureau _perfo1 an immense amount of labor, with but few assistants, and only costs the government about ten th: usand dollars per annum, including the Supervisor's salary. Under the law Mr, Dutcher has control over the collectors and assessors in his district, and it but justice to state that under his supervision not single fraud has come to light since the memorable escapade of the redoubtable Bailey. The Buffalo office, formerly in charge of Supervisor O'Donnel, is now under the control of Mr. Lucien Hawley, for- merly a detective under the old law, but now a revenue omens assigned to Mr. Dutcher, Mr. George N. Birdsall, an old revenue official, is tne Supervisor's chief and confidential clerk. THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT. pee, His Reported Arrival by the Steamship. Arragon a Hoax. As the trial for fraud perjury of the “claim- ant,” “Arthur Orton,” e Castro,” “Sir Roger Doughty Tichborne” approaches, there is a feeling in some minds that after a successful starring tour through England he may be induced to leave that country and possibly at his own expense, Should this prove the case it would not be remarkable for him to land on our hospitable shores, Some color ‘was given to this view of the subject yesterday by the appearance at the HERALD office of a respecta- ble looking*person, who announced himself as Stillman—Dr. Stillman, of the steamship Arragon, nineteen days out from Bristol, and arriving in this port on Tuesday afternoon. The Doctor had @ communication to make, Under his charge had been shipped from Bristol a portly in, dividual, with smooth hair, a slightly Roman nose and a decided limp, whom he at once recognized Sir Roger Dor bY Tichborne, the celebrate claimant for the Tichborne estates. But why in this ise was & mystery. The Doctor communi- cated this discovery of the identity of his patient to the captain of the Arragon, who, having seen the clatmant in court, was convinced that if he was not that person he certainly bore a very strong resemblance to him. A HERALD reporter accompanied the Doctor down to Castle Garden, where the passengers on the Arragon were landing. Mr. Onsserly was in- quired for, but, being absent, Colonel Cantador and other officials were informed that the claimant was then on the premises, The earnest assevera- tions of the Doctor soon convinced the officials, and @ rush was made to the rotunda, th Colonel rubbing his hands and leading the van, followed by smiling clerks, Serge at the chance of viewing a new lion, equal to Alexis or the Brazilian Princes, Sir Ri was evidently bashful, for he required some finding, but at last his portly figure was dis- covered checking his baggage, Colonel Cantaaor looked smilingly on him and the ofiicials eagerly shook him by the hand, There he stood, the verita- ble embodiment of the wonderful claimant, as he Sppeared in the last portrait published in Harper's eekly. Alas for popular portraiture! “Are you the claimant? Are you Sir Roger ?” was asked, ‘Ke's, I be,’ sald the jolly-looking individual, his English being evidently as bad as is French and Latin, “Why do you come here, go bright prospects in England?” With @ signi cant wink and @ shrog the “claimant”? appeared to intimate that his prospects were any- thi ing but bright. Here Doctor Stillman broke tn, as thiigs were looking much too thin. ‘You see, ‘om Sir Roger is suffering ander a complication of dis- orders, and being of @ roving tarn, thought a touch of his old Iife would do him good; he there- fore came out a steer ér r, UD care, and in the name oh Arther 3 focombe."” “At thie stage PI the Doctor's speech the claimant broke in, “Noo ‘tunder no disorders. If I wor you couldn't cure me. Iam a claimant, and claim to be Arthur Slocombe, of Somerset, an nobody cise." ‘Whereu} every one joined in the laugh on the worthy Doctor of the Arragon. Some one stood drinks, The Castle Garden officials remarked thero had been a “glaimant” on every emigrant ship in port for the lasy six months. Sir Roger removed toa well-known emigtx tt boarding house close by, and the Doctor seemed dugtregsed at the non-success of J bis little agheme, “DRINE OR DIE.
