4 Losada’s System of Revenge as Witnessed at the Disentombment of a Living Skeleton. A Prisoner Brought to the Light of Day After Fourteen Years’ Confinement—Kidnappers Still at Work—Railroad Interests, Pros pects and Progress—United States Naval Survey at Tuxpan—What's in the Wind National Com- memorative Fete—Coinage at the Mint Mexico Orry, May 15, 1873. A fearful story is tola of the Indian chief and robber of Tepic, Lozada, which has but recently been brought before the public, and which, says the writer, for cruelty cannot find a parallel. In the small village of San Luis, near Tepic, there has been discovered a subterranean apartment, con- structed capecia ly for the prosecution of horrible crimes, and in this was found, not long since, a man who for fourteen years had not seen the light of day. Unshaven, unwashed, almost doubled by feebieness and withal bereft of sense, when discov- ered he is said to have had more the appearance of a wild animal than of humanity. From motives of revenge Lozada had him incarcerated in this sep- ulchre, and formerly would seem to have taken es- pecial pleasure in witnessing the tortures of this unhappy man, visiting him daily for that purpose, taunting him and mocking him in his helpless misery. The wretched man was placed in charge of a physician, who is obliged to use the utmost prudence im bringing him forth from his living tomb to enjoy once more the liberties of life, and, even with the greatest care, it is thought his en” feeblea system will not sustain the shock such & change may bring. THE TEPIC CHIEFTAIN ROUTED. The latest intelligence by telegraph reports Lo- sada completely routed and fleeing toward the river Alica, hotly pursued by General Carbo. Many of his chief officers, with their commands, and accompanied by numerous families, have come down irom the mountains, and protesting submis- sion tothe general government, have delivered up their horses, arms and aminunition, and signified their willingness to once more become peaceful citizens, It is said the families which came in Buffered extreme destitution. KIDNAPPERS. An unsuccessful attempt was made at kidnap- ping a short time since, but the perpetrator, Go- Inez Cabada, was discovered, tried and sentenced to be shot; the sentence was afterward cemmuted by President Lerdo to imprisonment ior life, SMALLPOX, Smallpox prevails to au alarming extent im the State o1 Hidalgo, 186 persons dying trom it in the small town of Iguala. RAILROADS, In regard to railroad matters in Mexico, nothing 1s being satisfactorily accomplished; on the con- trary, # great deal of labor, time, words and printed publications are being expended in combating real or supposed rival interests, General Rosecranz, who for more than ayear past has represented here the Union Contract Company, of Pennsylvania, has resigned his agency, and returns to the Unite Btates by steamer. General William J, Palmer, well known in the railroad world, has now assumed the charge of the interests of the Union Contract Company, which proposes the construction of a Qarrow guage interoceanic line from Tuxpan to'the Pacitic, and another line running south from the Denver road to touch the interoceanic line at some point to be determined upon in future. The rights of the imteroceanic line are claimed already by the company, by virtue of the transfer tu them of the Smith, Brennen & Richards concession, given In 1870. Amendments to this concession are now before Congress, including a cash sub- vention, or aid through rovernment bonds, Mr. E. L. Plumb weil nown in = diplo- matic circles, represents the interests of the Texas International Railroad Company, and proposes to continue the Texas (/our feet eight and a hal!) line southward to this city, and also to either construct & special transcontinentat or continue the same line from the capital to the Pacific coast, aided by subventions from the national Treasury. An opin- ton 18 quite prevalent here that the latter course will be adopted, and that he may propose, if he has not already done so, to join with the present English company or with English capitalists and continue the line to the fic, already completed from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, Such 1s the situation of both these important railroad projects whioh occupy so much of the public attention at present, and Congress seems very moderate in emt Uhese questions or coming to any final on. UNITED STATES NAVAL SURVEY. The follow.ng article appeared in the Hevista Uni- versal of May 15:— TUXPAN. ar arrived at this port on the 0th, and, launching mall boat, the crew occupied themselves for some time in taking soundings of the mouth of the river and the divers sand banks which are tn the entrance of the Tuxpan. The Captain of the Port offered a practica! ‘istant, but the Commander retused to receive him. Has the government received notice ot the arrival of this steamer? If not, then has this Ameri- can commander committed a grave fault, and we believe our government will demand explanations of the United States upon an actso contrary to international usages. Putting it with other rumors which come from the frontier, some believe they see in this act a matter of Serious import for the future. NATIONAL FETE. The Sth of May (4th of July of Mexico), was celebrated with all due ceremony, and with more enthusiasm, it is said, than has been known since the great victory of Zaragosa over the French at Puebla in 1862, At day- break the inhabitants were awakened by the booming of artillery and bands o1 music parading through the streets. At eleven o'clock a procession ‘Was formed in front of the palace, composed oi the President and Ins Cavinet, principal palace officials, the Common Council, public schools, military, &c., &c., and, marching through the principal streets, Passed to the Alemoda, beautiully decorated for the occasion, where speeches, orations and poems Were deiivered to avast concourse of people assem- bled beneath and “m the siade of the grand old trees Whose age aid size are the just pride of every citizen. Thero was a handsome display of the national colors, and the ditferent legations and Conmiates were not timid in giving to the breeze the emblems of their own Bavionality. The American colors floated conspic- uously over several private residences. In the evening the Plaza was vrilliantly iluminated, 3,000 lights, it is said, bringing almost ey, bright- ness, in the littie plaza alone, while the buildings surrounding it, including the Nauonal and Munici- pal palaces, occupying two sides and the Cathedral on the third, showed fronts blazing with lights. Twenty thousand people, it is estimated, were as- sembied to witness the display of fireworks, which were very fine and would do credit to any country; but quiet and good order prevailed, and the day Passed without a single accident, THR MINT. There was coined in the mint of San Luis in the mouth ol April $87,000, “PRISON DISCIPLINE.” weevine A Lecture To Be Delivered by Miss Mary Carpenter, of England.

The Carpenters Do Not “Turn Out” as Expected—“Look Before You Leap”— How Strikes Are Encouraged and In- gurated—The Carpenters on the De- fensive. The scheme of a general strike of all the carpen- ters has for tne present been abandoned. The causes which have led to this are mainly that thore who are now enjoying the eight-hour contracts of last year are satisfied with their lot, and a large portion of those who labor ten hours prefer to en- dure the evils which now exist rather than fly to greater ones, Not a few see, in the event of their quitting work, a whole Summer of idleness, which will be ruinous in the extreme. There may be a few local strikes during this week, and there was yesterday every evidence manifested in some of the shops that insubordination was near at hand, The trade, however, as a body will not enter the fleld against capital, because it does not {feel it- seli secure in any such @ position. The passive, rather than aggressive policy, which the HERALD has, ina friendly way, urged the workingmen to observe under the present condition of things, can alone secure the success of the carpenters, Almost any other class of tradesmen employed in the city of New York could more deflantly challenge the op- position of their employers. The carpenters, speak- ing only for their good, cannot afford to inaugu- rate a general strike this Summer. The neighbor- ing cities are overrun with planing mills and car- penter shops. Builders will cease the erection of houses, and the only certain employment for a great part of the trade wiil thus disappear. The property owners wiil suddenly remember that there are more houses to let than there are tenants to occupy them. The real estate men of ssrookiyn will accept the propositions of their contractors to abandon the projected buildings, on the ground that there are to-day actually 500 empty houses in the City of Churches. THE TIME FOR A GENERAL STRIKE IS ILL CHOSEN. Ifthe men are, however, determined to measure their strength with their employers their failure this Summer is predicted by many of their most influen- Ual representatives. If the men desire to find out how very little aid they are to receive irom the few political demagogues who now “hang around’? the lobbies of their public mectings, they have only to strike. Arepresentative who went into the pre- sent Assembly pledged to the cause of the work- ingmen, has not, up (o tus moment, shown the slightest public interest in several schemes which have called forth memorials to him from the work- ing classes. His voice has never been heard advo- cating the purchase of the gas worka by the city, nor in favor of rapid transit in the interest oi tue people. In the latter question no class 01 our citi- zeus are more deeply interested than the working- men, Such aman presented himselfin the lobby of the meeting at Republican Hali on Friday even- ing last and boasted of what he had done for the Sixteenth district. The speakers en that occasion may not have been wholly disinterested. Many of the places in the gilt ef the city government have been filed by men who have made political capital out of the laboring classes. It is obvious now to the carpenters that these men have nothing to lose, whether the Eight-Hour law tails or not, and much prospective political capital to gain by harangues of this sort. All these sentiments come trom men now ut work at their benches, There is a remark- able opportunity offered for the display of policy on tae purt of the carpenters, and it is sincerely to be hoped that they will embrace it. THE USE OF FORCK CONDEMNED. The manifesto issued on Friday nigit did not, it would appear, meet with the approval of a great part of the trade. It was regarded as partaking rather too much of the very features to which the HERALD objected. Scarcely one week ago the car- penters were almost on the eve of an uprising. The problem at once resolved itself into a contest which must be engaged in by the ten-hour men and be supported by the eight-hour men, who were to remain at their masters’ benches to earn money with which to defeat their masters’ cause, The ten-hour men were forthwith commanded to quit work, to give up positions which in many instances they had held ior years, and to join interests with the eight-hour workmen. Ic was by no means as- sured to them that their day’s labor should be any less in the future. It waa not assured to them that they should have a chance to re- turn even to ten hours’ work, It was not guaranteed, furthermore, that they would have any work to return to, or that their places would not be supplied by hewmen from outside the society. Ali tnis was to be asked of them in order that the men now working eight hours might not lose their places and might not be forced to go back to the old ten hour system, The majority ot the men have seen a Summer's work at stake and have hesitated several times betore they leit their benches, The majority o! the trade will not strike at this time unless there exists some valid provocation. Should the bosses insist that all the workmen shall return to ten hours’ labor per day the hour for a general strike will then have ar- rived. At that time and under such circumstances pertect unity of the trade will be secured, and par- tial if not absolute success assured. In the divided condition tn which the trade finds itself to- day, the success of the ten hours’ men is very doubtiul, We repeat it, there will not be a general sirike at present. A LOUISIANA JUDGE IN DANGER. “+ The Notorious Durell Threatened with Impeachment—Four Millions Unac- counted For. A Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Herald, writing on the 17th, states that on the pre- vious day a private conference was held at the White House on Louisiana affairs. He says:— A committee of Southern gentlemen waited upon President Grant and urged, not only for the sake of the South, but for the perpetuation of the good name of the republican party, the removal of Judge Durell, The President replied that, as he (Durell) was appointed for life or during good behavior, the only power to touch him was Congress, which might impeach, @ committee made many and strong argu- ments, but they all seemed to fall upon the Prest- dential ear without effect, until a tabulated state- ment, prepared by @ certain Carondelet street Statistician, showed the enormous sums of money and property which Durell had put into Norton's hands as assignee in bankruptcy, amounting to over four million dollars, which, they allege, is still Unacceunted for. ‘The President was utterly dumbfounded, and finally broke the long silence ensuing by suddenly exclaiming :— Gentlemen, it your statement 18 true, and, as you say, all this property under execution or final process in the United States Marshal’ in the hands of ail taken tereirom and pinced in t Norton why ap ni ‘01 isit that Mr. Packard’has never made corplainy edetnct Durell’s assignee ; tor, by your own showit Packard must ha’ sand dollars of legal te Much argument followed. I cannot give it all, but the Prestdemt seemed to think that if Marshal Packard had been so terribly wronged he weuld certainly complain, and move to right it. The com- mittee assured the President that they could ob- tain Marshal Packard's verification of every state- ment that they had made, and the President gave them his word that if they obtained Marshal Pack. ard’s endorsement that he would recommend Con- gress, a5 soon a8 It assembled, to impeach Vure!!.

These comments and criti- cisma have been elicited by the report of the pro- ceedings in the case referred to, which appeared in the HERALD of Friday last. From “A Catholic, but No Bigot.” To THe EpiTor OF THR HERALD:— I was present in Court on Thursday last when the application of Patriok Smali for the cus- tody of his child came up before Justice Fancher on awrit of habeas corpus, and, with all due re- spect to the ex-counsel of the Methodist Book Con- cern, his arbitrary disposal of the case made 4 similar impression upon me that Justice Davis’ action in the Train case had upon the Tribune. I have grave fears that he has much impaired is useiulness. The exceeding importance of the question involved makes a short review of the case appropriate. Mr, Small’s counset went tnto court armed with an affidavit, setting forth that the petitioner's wife has been for several years an habitual drunkard, and that, while under tne in- fluence of liquor, she conducts herself in 9 shame- ful and disgraceful manner; that on the 26th of March last she sold his furniture and abandoned his house in his absence, taking with her tour of his five children; that on the 24th of April, in a drunken fit, she sent him back two of these chil- dren and pin another, a girl of thirteen, in St. Barnabas Home, a Protestant Episcopal institu- tion, and fled the State; that he went there and applied for the possession of his ciild, but the officials would give him no satisfaction, except that the child had been placed at service—whore, they refused to disclose; that he (Small) is able and willing to support his child, and desires to have control of her; that (and here is where the main issue comes in) both he and his wife are Cath- olics; that they have brought up the cnild in the Catholic faith, and that they desire her to continue so. This was supported by an affidavit of Mrs, Small’s own brother, corroborating everythin alleged in Mr. Small’s petition, giving the peti- tioner the highest character, and saying that it is the wish of every member of the family that he should have the custody of the child. In the return to the writ the Sisters of St. Barnabas alleged nothing whatever against the father’s character, but denied that they have the custody of the child. In law they have constructively the tustody, and it is an actual tact that the child was led into Court by a minister, who i# an official of the St. Barnabas Home. In the tace of all this Judge Fancher re- fused to listen to Cin arn that Mr. Smail’s counsel had to eay, and tn the most arbitrary manner or- dered a dismissal of the writ, and warned the tather bot to interfere with the persons who have the child at service, He came very near making an order to prohibit the father from ever visiting the child, He would not take the question of relugion into consideration at all. In fact, the only concessien he made was to request the min- ister to ask the child who she preferred to go with, and on that worthy’s replying that she wished to remain with her present guardians, peremp- torliy cut short all further proceedings, Who, I would like to ask, has such a right in law, nature or justice, to the custody ot his cnlid as @ sober, in- du3trous father ? And by what authority does any judge presume to dictate to such a father in what religion his daughter shall be reared? Here are two of the most vital principles of civil and reli- wious liberty violated without a shadow ef reason— the rights of a parent over the secular and tne religious training of his offspring. About Justice Fancher’s mauner I will say nothing except that it seemed to me extremely undignified, and savoring, to say the least, of retigious bigotry. Ifl were in Mr. Smali’s Race I would take a pistol and go after my child, and woe be te the person who Should attempt to oppose my carrying her off. A CATHOLIC, BUT NO BIGOT. From “Britisher.” To THE EpiTor or THE HRRALD:— Permit me to ask through the columns of your journal if Judge Fancher is a free lover, or is it hts belief that a father has less right to the guardian- ship of his child than an institution of no matter how high a character, when nothing has been shown hor attempted to be shown to unpeach that father’s fitness tor the natural trust? Much issaid about American intolerance in private life. [should certainly hate to see it on the bench. But the de- cision of Fancher in the Small case, reported in the HERALD of the 23d instant, can be attributable to no other cause than either gross ignorance of law, relivious bigotry or Fourterism. In England we manage things a little more liberally, though we have a State Chure! BRITISHER, From “Justice.” To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD :— I have read the report of the HeRaLp of yes- terday with reference to the case of a man named Small, who sought the recovery of his child, which had been placed in a Protestant institution by a drunken mother who has fled the State. Iam dis- pesed to think that the Judge not only acted inan arbitrary manner, but exhibited something which, for the sake of our liberty, had better have been ex- cluded from the courts ef justice at all events. The idea of a father, against whem nothing was said, being deprived oi the control of his child seems outrageous and abominable. Will anybody dare to say that a father is not the fit judge of what religion his child should be instructed in ? Let us have religious tolerance everywhere, if possible, but let our Courts, at all events, be free from anything that savors of bigotry. The man Small you have Gescribed as a person who is able and fit to take charge of his child, and it seems to me perfectly horrible that the Judge should allow this man’s child te be taken eut of Court by a Prot- estant minister, while her father, a Roman Catho- lic, was there to receive her. What has the HERALD to say on the subject? I hope, a8 one of the Catholic community, that you, at least, will show justice. You have hitherto given a consideration to every religious denomination, and are remarbable for your liberality. If the action of the Judge is sustained by the HERALD, the great protector of religions liberty, then we might expect but little mercy elsewhere. JUSTICE. From “Liberality.” To THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD :— The HgRALD is 1ooked upon by thousands in this city amd by millions elsewhere as the great champion and expounder of civil and religious principles, An article with reference to a casc before Judge Fancher, in yesterday's HERALD, as to a father’s right to the custody of his child, gave occasion to a good deal of comment and discussion. The question was discussed from two standpoints, namely—Was the Judge right in refusing the ap- plication in point of law ? And was he justified in saying that the chiid’s religieus education and training had no weight with him, knowing as he did that the father had brought up his child a Ro- man Catholic and that she was then under the con- trol of a Protestant institution in which she had been placed by her mother, an habitual drunkard, in one of her fits of intoxication, without the fatner’s knowledge and against his wishes? Was the Judge right or was he wrong? Has a father any such right as claimed by his counsel ¢ The article referred to, I think, stated that the father remained in Court while the Protestant minister led away his child by the hand, giving him an epportunity of reflecting how absurd his expectations were of insisting upon the control of his child. Did your paper mean this, or was it irony and sarcasm ? As a citizen and as a tolerant Christian gentleman I desire to know where we stand on this subject. LIBERALITY, From “A Christian Gentieman, To THe Epitor or THE HERaLp:— I was certainly struck with the novel de- cision which your paper of yesterday reported as having been rendered by Judge Fancher, of the Supreme Court, in the application of Patrick Small for the custody of his child. [am not a lawyer, but I have always understood the law to be that a lather was entitled te the custody of his child pro- vided that he was able and willing to care for and support it; and [ have never heard it suggested anywhere that a father was to be prohibited from exercising control over the moral and religious training of his child; but from your report it appears that the learned Judge held otherwise; but why he so held does not appear. [ am inter- ested because I have little children myself, and if that be law and justice, then my children can at any time be picked up in the streets and detained from me, There is something so curious in the de- cision that I am anxious to have the matter venti- lated. 1am not a Roman Catholic, but I profess to have Christian princtples and to ‘be actuated by Christian duties and obligations, and I cannot help fanocying that if the Judge's view of the law in this case be correct then my child may be at any time seized in the streets by some Catholic or Jewish enthusiast and confined within the wails of one of their convents, and when Lcome to resort to the Courts for protection, that some Catholic or Jewish Judge, acting on the principle which guided Judge Fancher, would refuse me the custody of my child nad pereae them to educate it, for anything that 1 could do in the Courts, @ Catholic oa a Jew. Per- haps the Judge ts right, but if this be the law of the State, then I for one ay anxious to leave it as soon AS possible, A CUIUSTIAN GENTLEMAN, l THE COURTS. Yesterday Judge Bonedict anmounced in the United States Circuit Court that he would try the case of Taintor, the alleged defaulting cashier of the Atlantic National Bank, the first day of the cnsuing June term on which he would have a jury. The ex-United States Circuit Judge, Wm. D. Shipman, paid a visit to the United States Ciroult Court yesterday. He was cordially greeted by Judge Benedict, presiding, and other friends who entertain the most sincere feelings of respect for the exJudge. He was an honor to the Bench, as he is now a distinguished and honored member ot the Bar. In the United States Circuit Court, yesterday, the trial of Joseph B. Purdy, who was indicted for an alleged vio- lation of the law in the shipment of fireworks, came to a conclusion, The jury were discharged without being able to agree to a verdict. John H, Worthington was placed at the bar in the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, charged with firing a pistol at William McNichol. fhe complainant was called as a witness, but seemed very unwilling to testify azainst the accused, and said he did notknow whether or not he fired at him. ‘The facts went to show that the accused is a monomaniac on the idea that his lite is continually in danger from soms of his best friends. Mr. John D. Mott, who was assigned to the defence of the prisoner, consented that a verdict of “notguilty" be entered, on the ground of insanity. This being done, Judge Davis remanded the prisoner and ordered that am investigation be made as to his present condition. Owing to the engagements of the District Attorney and other counsel on both sides during the next few days, the trial of William M. Tweed has been further postponed to June 4, ‘ Malone's Distillery, at 513 West Filty-second street, was sexed for illicit distillation, and yesterday, in the United States District Court, before Jadge Blatchtord, the fol- lowing property was taken possession ot by Marshal Fisk, and condemned by default, no claimant appear- ing :—A copper still of 180 gallons capacity, an apple press, apump, & lot of hose, five barrels of apple brandy, nine whiskey barrels, & hogshead of applo brandy, 1,009 gal- lons of mash and two horses, UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Atlantic Bank Defalcation—Case of F. L. Taintor—Defendant To Be Tried in the Coming June Term. Yesterday, inthe United States Circuit Court, Judge Benedict said that in the case of F. L. Taintor, in which there had been an application for a postponement, he had read the affidavits with care, and, although he ob- Jectod to the postponement ot a criminal case, yet coun- gel in this case seemed to be very earnest in the opinion that the trial would not be quite tar if taken up this week, and, asit could be taker up in June—next month— the Gourt’ would allow a postponement till June, He would not call itearlier unless the parties desired; but he expected it to be tried in the June term, on the ‘first day of that term on which he had a jury. He made that raposal in view of the statement of counsel that no bail had been asked or was intended to be asked for the de- fendant. The Court had not fixed any bail in the matter. The Case of Charles Callender. In the course of the day an anonymous telegram was handed to the Judgo, stating that Mr, D, Randolph Martin, a witness on behalf of Charles Callender, had returned to town from a recent journey in South America. Mr, Callender, it will be remembered, is in- dicted for having, in his capacity of Bank Examiner, received a bribe from the Ocean National Bank for mak: ing.a favorable report with regard to the management and affairs of that establishment, when, as is allezed by the government, the bank was in a ‘tailing condition. The Judge having perused the telegram immediate'y handed it to the District Attorney, with a request that Mr. Joseph Bell, counsel for Callender, should aware at once of its contents. Shipping Fireworks. Yesterday the jury in the case of Joseph B. Purdy, who was Indicted for having shipped flreworks without brand- ing the boxes or cases in which they were contained with the name of the inflammable material therein con- tained, were discharged without being able to agree toa verdict. In the progress of the trial one of the counsel for defendant contended that fireworks could not, under the statute, be classed as among articles of a like’ nature with gunpowder, as the latter was explosive and fire- works were not. | To test this he offered to set off a pack age of fireworks in the court room, but Judge Benedict refused to allow proof of that character. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. An Intricate Question of Law. A very interesting series of legal points have absorbed the attention of the Court of Common Pleas during the past week, in the trial of a case in which Frank 8. Ste vens seeks to recover from S. Clinton Hastings, as trustee of the Pacific Beater Press Company, on the ground of omission to file a report as arte by the statute, The defence aver there is a detect in the corporation of the company, while, on the other hand, ex-Judge Albert Oar- dozo, who represents the interests of the plaintiff, very ably contended againgt the views of the defence by argi- ing’that the moment the defendant acted as trustee he ‘was estopped from raising the q jon put tor’ Judge Cardozo having introduced all the testimony, the case was postponed until the June term for argument. made COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Assault by an Old Woman with an Axe. Before Judge Sutherland. Yesterday Mary K. Maloney, an old woman, was tried and convicted of an assault with intent to do bodily harm, she having pg ied Gough upon the head with an axe on the arch. His Honor sent her to the State Prison fer two years and six months. Burglaries and Larcenies. Willlam Flecke, who was jointly indicted with three other young men, pleaded guilty to an attempt at bur_ glary in the third degree. He was concerned in breaking into the clothing store of Loeb Frankenthaler, Jr., 70 ave, nue B, on the 34 inst., when $550 worth of clothing were stolen. His co-defendants have already pleaded guilty. Flecke was sent to the Sing Sing Prison for two years and six months. Henry Black and Edward Hayes, who were indicted for feloniously entering the liquor store of Amos B. Cross, 417 Bleecker street, on the 26th of April, and stealing two gyarconts, valued at $100, pleadea guilty to an attempt. They were each sent to the State Prison for two years, Patrick Dillon pleaded guilt; larceny, the allegation against him being that on the 7th of May he stole an overcoat and a robe, worth $180, the roperty of James McKenna. He was sent to the State rison for one year. Cornelius Mahoney, charged with attempting to burg lariously enter the premises ot Charles P. Judwin, 53 Cortlandt street, on the 2th of April, pleaded guilty, to the charge. Tt seems that the prisoner jumped from the root of the building to avold arrest, and was seriously injured. ‘The evidence against him’ was not conclusive, so that the Judge modified the punishment to imprison: ment in the Penitentiary for one year. John F, Rogers, who on the 29th of April went to the jewelry store of Nathan Tannenbaum, Rowery, and purchased some articles, for which he tendered in pay- ment a check upon the National Butchers’ and Drovers’ Bank for $10, pleaded guilty to an attempt to obtain Roods by false pretences. He was sent to the Peniten- lary for six months. , Charles Smith pleaded to a similar offence. On the 10th of this month he obtained two hams trom Jacob Roihhardt. by fraudulent representations. Penitentiary for one month was the sentence. Michael Dalton was tried upon a charge of receiving $300 worth of wearing apparel, knowing them to have been stolen from Thomas Lynch, by a colered man named Columbus Peck. The accused bought about $100 worth for $10. A verdict of guilty was rendered, and the prisoner was remanded for sentence. James Morrissey, who was indicted for stealing $33 worth of cocks on the 2d of April, the property of Carroll & Harman, pleaded guilty to pot larceny. He was sent to the Penitentiary for mx months. BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM, David Goodrich and Mrs. Finley’s Yacht. Before Judge Gilbert. David Goodrich, the father of the untortunate Charles Goodrich who was assassinated in his residence in De- graw street, contracted with Mrs. Susan Finley, of Staten Island, for her interest in the yacht Adelaide for two of the houses in Degraw street. Mr. Finley signed the con- tract, the understanding being, however (as he claimed) that it was notto be binding until ratified py his wife. The murder of Charles Goodrich in one of the houses caused Mrs. Finley to withhoid her ratification, and she declined to carry out the contract. Mr. Goodrich then brought auit to compel a specific pertormance of the con- tract, and the case was heard before Judge Gilbert yes- terday. The Court dismissed the complaint, holding that the proof of the ratification had not been made out. COURT OF SESSIONS. A Basy Season. Before Judge Moore. Judge Moore has been exfraordinarily busy in the Sessions since the opening ef tho present year.

To Tas Epitor or ru Heraup:— _ “There seems to me a good deal of cool impudence, united with the extreme selfishness of the habitual smoker, in the suggestion of ‘Rosa Conchas’— “that ladies who don't like smoking remain in the outside garden at the Thomas concerts.” As I guess nearly all ladies, and many gentiemen, would prefer to enjoy the music without the smoke, would 1 not be as well for the smokers (who have two sources Of enjoyment to the others’ o1 bee Shenae ves Foe tescrpe typed the relieve e of a some nuisancg, and allow ladies, togettior witht oy in their society, iy enjoying inside shelter AN ni Y. May 2, 1873. Dolly Varden on the Odious Infliction. To THE EpiroR oF THE HERALD:— Your correspondent, “Rosa Conchas,” gays that smoking at Thomas’ concerts is the principal pleas- ure for which those entertainments are intended, Now, although this assertion is a poor compliment: to Mr. Thomas and to his admirable orchestra, it may seem unanswerable to Kosa and to other ladies who, from taste or habit, do not object to noxious smeils, But I deny that the joining garden atfords excellent accommodations for those who are annoyed by the fetid putts from the gentlemen who perambuisate the garden as well as the saloon, without the least regard for the comfort of those whbom they subject to the odious infliction. Would it not be an additional attraction to the celebrated concerts {i smoking were prohibited in the garden, where ladies and non-smokers would find a refuge against the pestilential emanations of pipes and cigars? Apropos of Thomas’ concerts, why is the same punishment inflicted on passengers in the cars oy smoking being allowed on the platforms, and why are they compelled to change cars at the depot going to and returning from Mr. Thomas’ establish- ment ?—the inconvenience of which is felt at all times, but more especially at late hours and in rainy weather, Yours, very truly, DOLLY VARDEN, A Lady Who Objects to Smoking in Cen- tral Park. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— If smokers of tobacco insist upon their preroga- tive of befouling the lungs of those who visit Thomas’ Garden, let them at least refrain irom de- filing the sweet odors of vegetation in Central Park. ‘The only persons who can now enjoy these sweet odors are the selfish smokers, who drive their foul breath away trom themselves into the breathing apparatus of others. All females and one- half the men do not favor smeking; a large major- ity of the race dislike it. Why will not the seifish smokers breathe their own fumes? Answe It is poison! CENTRAL PARK, The Chatter of Women Worse Than the Smoking of Ciga: To THE EpIroR OF THE HERAL I heartily deprecate the prevailing epidemic for ventilating one’s grievances through the medium ofthe press; but the unseemly and ill-timed com- plaint of a “Lady,” in regard to smoking at Central Park Garden, constrains me to attempt an impossi- bility—that of silencing a woman with her own peculiar weapon—words. The Garden was founded asacafé. By this is understood a resort for gentle- men, That a woman of refinement, with any ap- preciation of the ‘eternal fitness of things,’’ can gain her own consent to grace with her presence a lace devoted to the sale and consumption of lager eer, Whiskey and cigars is one of those little mys- teries inseparable from womankind and incompre- hensible to mankind. Ladies attend on sufierance. What right have they to protest against smoking? ‘To quote from a favorite author :—‘No wonder they hate it, the dear creatures! The cigar is the worst rival @ woman can have: itis one whose eyes she cannot scratch eut, who improves with age while she herself declines; who has an art which no woman possesses—that of never weary- ing her devotee; and, lastly, never upbraids aud always yiclds the same joy.” Now, Mr. Editor, there are some things in this world worse than tobacco smoke, and among them I class the eternal clamor, the inane gossip, the un- meaning chatter of women, Many a time, at the Garden, has a charming performance been com- pletely marred by the inconsiderate, everlastin, wagging of their tongues. 1 am at once a lover o! music and cigars. Could a compromise be effected—the ladies giv- ing up their threadbare tricks of flirtation and “noise so loud” and gentlemen relinquishing their cigars—I would be the first to endorse the new ime; but until such is inaugurated I will con- tinue to torture their delicate oliactory creas with the fames of my HENRY CLAY. AFFRAY AT A PIONIO. During a picnic held at Pope's Park, Gowanus Heights, on Monday night, a dispute arose between Michael Mc- Guire and Thomas O'Hara, two young men, concerning agirlto whom both men were paying their addresses. Hot words were followed by heavy blows, when Mcguire drew a knife and stabbed his antagonist in the abdomen, futlicting a severe. and probably fatal wound. The in: Jured man was taken to the Long Island College Hos. pital, and Michael McGuire was arrested. Thomas Feeney and Robert Harvey were arrested and are detained as witnesses. ——_+-o «-—___ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. r— Married. BENNETT—STEWART.—On Tuesday, May 13, by the Rev.
