THE COURTS. The Habitual Criminals Act--Im- portant Decision. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. ‘The Indictment Against Taintor, of the Atlantin National Bank—He Pleads Not Guilty— Removing « Physician’s Sign and the Consequences—Important to Note Signers—Convictions and Sentences in the Gen- eral Sessions— Decisions. ‘Tm the case of Watson & Co., clothing importers, vs, Hiram Barney, ex-Collector of this port—reported in the Hernatpot yesterday—which was an action to recover an excess of duty paid by the plaintiffs on an importation of flannel, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—s for $2,235 72, gold. Martin & Smith for the plaintiffs; Mr. ‘Tremain for the government. Joseph Kimball, alias Mrs. G, W. Wood, alias the Good- year India Rubber Carlier Company, was brought before Commissioner Osborn yesterday, and charged with send- img through the mails an articie intended to be used for an immoral purpose. The accused has carried on busi- mess at No. 7 Great Jones street. He was held in $5,000 bail, and committed for examination on Thursday. 4 somewhat remarkable case came before Commis- sioner Shields yesterday. It was that of Thomas McGuire, a letter carrier of station G, who ls accused of opening letters entrusted to him for delivery. It appears that McGuire went into the Golden Grapes tavern, on Bighth avenue, and proceeded to tear open a number of letters. A citizen, observing what was going on, called policeman, who took the carrier into custody white he was in the act of opening the letters, a satchel full of which lay athis side. Four of the letters, in an opened condition, were produced before the Commissioner. The Prisoner admitted the offence, seeking to excuse himself on the ground that he had been ona drunken spree for four days. Held in $5,000 bail for examination. Yesterday,in the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford, twenty-nine black silk lace capes and five pieces of black silk lace, alleged to have been smug- gled in the steamer Washington, were condemned by default, no owner appearing to claim the same. The June Criminal Term of the United States Ciremt Court will be commenced on the 17th inst. before Judge Benedict. Frank L. Taintor, indicted for embezzling $400,000, the Property of the Atlantic National Bank, pleaded “not guilty” yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, be- fore Judge Benedict. His trial may take place in the June term of the Court, which begins on the 17th inst. and, possibly, it may be put over toalater term. The District Attorney has repeatedly said that he is most anxious to try this case. We refer to our law column for a report of the sen- tences inflicted upon prisoners found guilty during the term of the United States Circuit before Judge Benedict, which closed yesterday. The case of Donau and Flood, indicted in the United States Circuit Court for alleged conspiracy to defraud the government out of the tax on whiskey manufactured at the Spring Valley Distillery, and partly tried, has gone over till next term, one of the jurors having taken sick, THE HABITUAL CRIMINALS ACT. The Constitutionality of the Act Sus. tained—Previous Conviction Necessary to Its Enforcement—Important Decision by Judge Davis. The important points raised upon the constitutionality of the now notorious “Habitual Criminals act” make the question one of great importance, not only to the class of criminals it is intended to embrace within its operation, but to all “suspects” ot whatever grade or calling in the “profession” to which they may belong. The question of the constitutionality of the act was first raised by Mr. W. F. Howe in the case of a rather notorious criminal, one Jeremiah McCarthy, but associated with him was an equally well-known delinquent named William Warren, These individually and collectively presented in the best segal form the case which Mr. Howe wished to present to contest the constitutionality of the law. Judge Davis, who delivers the opinion of the Court, and, speaking for all, dismisses the case of The People vs. Warren, whom he orders to be discharged, not on. account ‘of the unconstitutionality of the law, as in the case pre- sented, but for want of proof of a previous conviction. JUDGE DAVIS'S OPINION. The first question raised is as to the constitutionality of the act. itis msisted that the act in question Js in viola- tion of that prevision of article 1 of the constitutior which declares that “trial by jury, in all cases in which it has heretofore been used, shall remain inviolate forever.” A careful examination of the act will show that its sole object is to place certain definitely described persons, when found frequenting or a tending certain “designated places’ for unlawful purposes, in the class of “disorderly persons,” and subject them to arrest trial and imprisonment by proceedi: ilogous to those long t gainst auc persons. 1 in England and in this State, long prior to the earliest of our State constitutions, vagrants and dis- orderly persons, as defined by statute, were made subject fo summary trials without jury, and frequently from time to time, in both countries, additions have been made by statute to the classes known as disorderly Jrith provisions subjecting them to, arrest an the same form. ferences to the ancient statutes of England on this subject may” be, found collected in Burris (ustice,) under the title of “Vagrants,” and the more modern laws are contained in “British Btatutes at Large,” ‘and, in 2 Chitty's Statutes, 145, under the ‘head of “Criminal Law Vagrancy.’ Prior to 1788 the udministration of this ranch of criminal” justice in the colony of New York was doubtless con- ducted under the English statutes, In February, 1788, the Legisla' as may be found in 2 Green Laws, 52 while abrogating generally the statutes for apprehend ishing “disorderly persons.” That act con- until the adoption of the revised statutes, larged by extension to include gamblers nmon showmen, &c., and re-anacte ¢ question now imonds Fal., 59, rope. dancers, ‘with some modifications not necene under consideration. (i R. S., 638. 243, sections 1 and 10,) ‘The late Chancellor Walworth, in 'Dafly ve The People, 6 at page 79, speak: in Hill, ing of the extensions made by the revised statutes, gays:—"T have no doubt as to the constitutional of the law, although it extends to seme offenc ofthe same nature and character which were not em- braced in the act of February, 1788.” By the seventh section ot chapter 11, of the Laws of 1#33 the Legis- lature adied one to the class of disorderly persons as defined by the existing statutes, and authorize magistrate to deal with him’ in a similar wa others of his class had long been dealt with. ‘The sane ground of uncopstitutionulity was urged in a case arising under that act that is now. presented. The Supreme Court held the act to be valid, and that the provistons of the constitution above reterréd to had no application to much cases vs, The People, Hill, | 355). the same case bein; ‘although they reverse: judgment, ‘on another question, secm to have adopted the opinion of Chancellor Walworth, in ‘which be examined and affirmed the constitutionality ot the uct with great rescarch and ability. (Dutty vs, The People, 6 Hit 15) | ‘The apt now under consideration is a substantial transcriptot the the saine subject, passed Marclt 13, 1862; and of the several amendments subsequently enacted. That statute and its nduents may be jound in Brightley's Pardon Digest, E ful review In tatute of Pennsylvania on pages 316-7. It has been the subject of t: the Supreme Court of that State, in Bye Davis va, he Commonwealth Reporter, in 42 Pennsylvania State Reports, 86 G Wright. The provisions of the constitution ‘of Pennsylvania in respect to trial by jury are like our ‘own. 7 Court examined the “question of H6 conetitutionality of the law very fully and phe iw validity im an able and ‘conclusive opinion, ‘There can be no question, in view of the statutes and authorities, that trial by jury had, efor the constitu. tion, never been used in the disposition of vagrants and disorderly peisons, and consequently was not intended for such’ persons, ‘so far as they were defined by then existing legislation. That the Legistature have power to enlarge the class of persons to be affected bY laws against disorderly persons, and to be summarily tried by the magistrates of the State, seems to be well settled by the autforiiies above cited.’ T am of opinion, both upon prinéiple and authority, that the act ot 1873 valid. The objection that it is’ void because in conflict with the provisions of the constitution that) “no person shail be subject fo be twice put in jeopardy for the same offence’ is hardly worthy of serious consideration. It ot his previous oifence ‘which makes the “professional thief" a disorderly person under the law, butitis his act of attending at tle plac named for unlawful purposes, such as plyin: voCa- tion, that brings him within the prevention remedies of the new statute. Having disposed of these questions, 1 am brought to those which oh THK CONSTRUCTION OF THE ACT. and its application to the case in hand, The persons to Shom the act applies are professional thieves, burglars pickpockets, counterfeiters or forgers. A person within either of these descriptions may be arrested in either of two modes. First, by warrantissued by a police magistrate or Justice of the Peace, upon complaint on oath or attirma- Hon showing that he of she isa disorderly person within the act. Second, by any of the police authorities “atany steamboat landing, railroad depot, church, banking in- stitution, broker's office, place of public amusement, auc. tion room, store, auction sale in private residences, pas- senger cat, hotel or restaurant, or at any other ‘ef people, whether few or many,” whenever known the officer making the arrest to be within either of the described classes, and such officer has good reason to he- Neve that such ‘person is at the place where found for a0 unlawiul purpose, In such case, the officer is justi- fed in making, and it is his duty to make, the arrest, and ¢ priwher before & magistrate for the examina. ton required y? the statute. The case before me is, per- haps, 5 it illustration of the power and the duty f the cer. ‘arner was found by Officer Dusen- Sury'on the platform of "a streetcar, among several standing on the same platform.

There is, of course, oe reanee why a well knows profes- sional criminal, who is found at any of the places named of commitu) crime, shot not be lerly person, notwithstanding he may not ly convicted of crime, and it isto be ‘lature will amend the act to make it or forger enn- the provision the Courts cannot dently carelessly interjected, as it 4 conviction “of any ot the crimes herein nai ,”’ when in tact no crime is named in the act. This defect. how. ever, is easily remedied by construction, Thi tion of society against the evil d ‘of person: ing to commit offences.

Hence the phrase, “crimes herein named,” should be held to mean such as make the party commit- ting them, within the common te ryt i sense of these’ ter thief, or burglar, or pickpocket, or counterfeiter. this “construction cannot go so far as to eli- minate from the statute the plain regniremente of, proof of a former conviction of some one of those crimes.

Mr, Howe, who was the first to raise the auestion of the coustitutionality of the new act, and upon whose points and arguments the Court had the question under discus: fion, does not intend that the matter should rest with the Gccisionas above rendered, “The Court of Appeals is not only the deruier resort in really equity but also in criminal Courts and Mr. Howe looks tor an opinion. from that tri- anal which ie hopes will render nugatory the opinion rendered above as to the constitutionality of the Habitual Criminals act. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Yesterday Judge Benedict sat in the United States Cir- cuit Court and proceeded to dispose of the criminal busi- nese. The Spring Valley Distillery Ca The trial of Simon Donau and Christopher Flood, who are indicted for conspiring to defraud the government out of the taxon a quantity of distilled spirits manu- factured at the Spring Valley distillery, was postponed till the next term in consequence of the illness ot one of the jurors. The case has been partly tried. Sentencing Prisoners. Charles Heidt, who had been found guilty of giving straw bail in the.case of Donau and others, was sentenced to five year’s imprisonment and hard labor in the Kings County Penitentiary. Christian Hartell, embezzling letters in the Post Office, four years imprisonment. Julian E, Julian was called up for sentence, having been found guilty of sending obscene circulars through the mail, The prisoner has been keeping a druggist’s shop at the corner of Pearl and Centre streets, When the prisoner was brought before the Court he made a gesture as it he desired to say something in miti- gation of punishment; but the Judge at once proceeded to sentence him. The District Attorney called the attention of the Judgo to,the fact that the prisoner wanted to say something. ‘The prisoner observed that he had no Intent whatever to violate the law. Ile never for amoment supposed that the circulation of those circulars was an infringement of He had consulted about, fifty persons, and gave it as their opinion that the circulars were ne; they were merely advertisements of a cer. tain class of goods known within the law, The prisoner Was going on to say something more when he was cut short by Judge Renedict, who said that he had but one sentence to impose in this claeg of cases. « it was the extreme penalty of the law. The Judge then sen fenced Julian'to one year's imprisonmentand a fine of The Prisoner—But, your Honor, I have been already in prison one month. ‘Judge Benedict—I cannot hear anything more.

Usier the ruling of the third degree against Thomas Foster, who was jointly indicted with Thomas Kinney. The proot against the accused was circumstantial, and, while not being so strong as it might be, yet, taken in connection with the tracing of box of very large burglarious implements to the possession of Foster, led the jury to conclude, without « moment's hesitation, that he was guilty of the specific charge preferred egaiont, him.

Haynes swore yesterday that he and his wife did own the house, and that the ‘endorsement on the note was genuine, Not being able to meet the note when it becaine due, he promised, just before the arrest, to pay Michel it a week.

A Greenwood Se: i—A Woman's Suit Agi st the Cemetery Superintendent. Before Judge Reynolds. ‘The dull routine of the Court yesterday was somewhat enlivened by the trial of a sult of a novel character. The plaintiff was Mrs. Jane Ward, good looking woman about forty yearsof age, whose husband was formerly assistant superintendent of the workmen at Greenwood cemetery. The defendant was Mr. George Gamgee, a widower, the superintendent, against whom Mrs. Ward had brought an action to recover $5,000 for attempting to embrace and kiss her. Mrs, Ward's story was that one day in June tast Mr. Gamgee called at her house (which is in the cemetery), during the absence of her husband, and, after following her about for a little while, The note was not paid. attempted to put his arm around her and kiss fer. "Bhe. ‘resisted, "ands told’ him to. go home On another occasion he called at the house and Attempted to take similar liberties with her, whea denounced him as an old villain and he fled.

There was @ strong, thick-set Irish boy of sixteen who said he had run, away jrom home. He wag concealed on board the steamer for three days. During this time the sailors gave him food, but after three duys he was discovered and had to work during the remainder of the passage. From New York he went to New Orleans, where he blacked boots, but returned here last Sunday, and Monday ntght he slept in the open street. When asked whether he was able to sleep he cheerful replied, “Oh, yes; I put my hands under my heat and slept soundly.” Another was & boy of eighteen, tall with a face of intelligence.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS. ———+ New York Realty Inactive—Saburban Property Looking Up—Importance of the Coming Westchester Sale—Busine: atthe Exchange—Bayonne (N. J.) Lots Sold. All interest for city property at the present seems to have slackened somewhat, and the ac- tvity transferred to suburban real estate. The numerous offerings in New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester for this and the coming week offer great attractions, and all of them are destined to be successful. The sale at Marion, N. J., by Jere Johnson, Jr., and J. M. Gibson, to-morrow, is one of the impor- tant transactions of the day, as is also that of Whitestone lots, at the Exchange, of this city, by Messrs. Muller, Wilkins. & Co,, and the initiatory sale of property in Westchester, on the junction of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and New York and Harlem fajlroads, on the 16tn inst, will attract not only great at- tention, but being the forerunner of heavy transactions in the prospective new ward of the city, the prices realized will form the key- note to future values, A portion of the estate thus offered belongs to ex-Mayor George Opdyke and Mr. E. K. Willard, 1 located at Woodlawn Heights and sold under the direction of Messrs, Potter Brothers, of Warren street. Catalogues for this sale will be ready to-day or to-morrow, which like- uaa give the terms and stipulations of the auc- joneer. At the RealEstate Exchange the attendance was very large, @ttracted, no doubt, by the numerous sales advertt }, many of which, however, were insult Gamgee, as the latter was ‘over them, After Ward arged this suit was brought.

Silva. Among artists who are getting everything out of their brushes which their brushes have to yield is to be mentioned Mr. Francis A. Silva, occupying studio No. 10 Dodworth Hall, 806 Broadway. Dod- worth Hall may not, perhaps, be quite so popular and sunny an art rendezvous as some others tn the city. It never breaks out into receptions, and its corridors are seldom threaded with handsomely dressed young ladies flashing along “like sunlight dowered with soul and form.” It has but a smal; hive of artists, but more than one of these manu- factures very palatable honey. To this bevy belongs Mr. Silva, one of the half dozen painters who in- habit the oor—that is the only one—in any house on which the sun can ever be said really to shine. Here, in a little isolated nook on the tep story, Mr. Silva may generally be found any time vetween ten in the morning and sundown, and it is to this assiduity that the public ts indebted for those many graceful interpretations of sky and water which bear his autograph, It used to be the boast of ‘Theodore Hook, not less than of Alexander Dumas, that he could write novels four-in-hand, or, to vary the simile, drive a literary tandem. Mr. Silva’s method with his pictures pears to be somewhat analogous to ths. Half @ dozen geueralty claim his attention at once. Not that his talent works by fils and starts, but that it is ofthat amiably impatient order which is never satiated with one iron in the fire ata time, His latest productions are “View at Brier Neck, Cape Ann,’’ and “View on Leng Island Coust, below Rockaway,” ‘The first represents a quiet Bs ok morning, bright, but hazy. A stretch ofrocks upon the left i full of orange and yellow tints, With occasional streaks of tender pink, Perhaps the happiest | gory in the picture is the unmistuka- ble wetmess of the breaking waves, crested with their sparkling embroidery of surf, There 1s much truthfulness in the simlated splash and dash of the ocean, nding its strength against the moveless rocks. other picture is composed of a sea beach, With @ late aiternoon effect. A group 1a indistinctly seen in the distance, and the figures of two girls loitering near are reflected in the natural mirror, Nixed in the closely caked sand by the moisture of the ebbing tide. There is a silence in the level clouds, ag though they listened to the tumult of the sea beneath, and far oi the green of the ‘waves slides imperceptibly and obscurely into taint puee ar, Silva has also just completed a view of sass Rocks, Cape Ann, Mase., lor a gentleman of ‘this city. A mass of reddish-yeliow rocks 1s found on the right hand side of the picture, and over the sea hangs a sky veiled with heavy folds of white cloud, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. THE INEXHAUSTIBLE Spiritualist controversy 1s to be revived in @ book by Dyer D. Lum, on “The Spirital Delusion; Its Methods, Teachings and Effects,” which Lippincott & Co. will print. THE FANTASTICAL TITLE, ‘“Gutta-Percha Willie,” has been chosen by George Macdonald for his forthcoming novel. THE Pall Mali Gazette says of Mrs. Geates’ biography of the historian of Greece:—“The life before us is, in truth, first, a memoir of the couple; secondly, of the lady; thirdly, of the philosopher, ‘There are at least three letters of the lady’s to one of the gentleman's.” Lorp Lytron’s publishers paid him, in copyright on his novels, $150,000 in ninetcen years. THE LONDON Aforning Post is the oidest dally newspaper pubilshed in that city, having reached its 101st year. Among its contributors have been Charles Lamb, Sir James Mackintosh, Robert Southey, Thomas Moore, William Wordsworth and Arthur Young, The Prince Regent (afterwards George IV.) was once one of its proprietors, but history does not inform us that he ever contributed anything to its columns, Mr. HAMERTON, in his “Intellectual Life,” has a good word for the ‘bad memories,” which, hie says, are often the best, being selecting memories, and not miscellaneous, retaining the impressions oi all things alike. ‘A good literary or artistic memory is not like a post office, that takes in everything, but like a very well edited periodical, which prints pothing that does not harmonize with its inteilec- tual life.” CHARLEL DICKENS was once listening to Pro- fessor Owen's description of a telescope of huge dimensiens, built by a clergyman, who had taken to the study of the stars, Owen described the enthusiastic owner as ‘eager to see more heavenly bodies than Lord Rosse,” to which Dickens, with a solemn twinkle in the eyes, responded, “Yes, the clergyman ts anxiousto see further into heaven than his professional studies have enabled him to penetrate.’ Mk, JouN Brian, having been accused of incon. sistency with the volumes of his printed speeches in his letter declining the invitation to attend the English Republican Convention, thus wrote :— Drar Stx—I have no copy of speeches to refer to, but you are qnite at liberty to quote from them as. much as you please. They are public property if they nave any value. As to American institutions, Thope you will be able to see that arguments that may be rightly used here in favor of movarchy may also be used and with a like force in America in lavor of a republic. THE GEORGE CROMWELL. She Is To Be Towed Back to New York and to Arrive Here im About Ten Days. Yesterday morning the agents of the Cromwell line of steamers in this city telegraphed to their correspondents in New Orleans to order their ateamer, the George Washington, now loading for New York at New Orleans, to leave as soon as youre, fully provided for the. service of towing George Cromwell, now at anchor at Walker Key, Bahama Banks, back to this city. The Wash- ington will probably arrive there about next Sun- day, and wiilthen take the Cromweil in tow, and Will arrive here with her passengers about Thurs- day week. OOLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. Continaation ot the Examination—Its Progress and the Students’ Pro- ficiency. The examination of the various classes of the Col- lege of the City of New York continues to drag its slow length along. For the senior class, however, there was a respite yesterday. The juniors had comparatively easy times, tlieir @xamination being confined simply to the department of philosophy. There were two papers, one on dedactive logic and the other on psychology. It must have required, however, a good deal of psyehologizing to deduce Correct responses to the various written questions in either branch. Reading over these ques- tions shows conclusively that when one has reached the state of the mental condition of understanding them thoroughly, pulling the wool Over one’s eyes in cae must be a matter of mere syllogism and words, ‘The sophomores were examined in the French, Latin, German, Spanish and Greek languages, ac- cording as th modern course. The examination was comprised principally of translations. The freshmen were ex. emined in English literature, and the students of the introductory department im bookkeeping, com- mercial law and phonography. In the lust branch very many showed themselves experts, and the probability is that the growing demand for pionog- raphers will very shortly be entirely filed. ane oon MARRIAGES.
