THE CHRISTY WILL SUIT. An Important Trial—Ver- dict for the Plaintiff. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. The trialof Woodhull, Claflin and Blood, who were Under indictment for sending obscene publications through the mails, was resumed yesterday in the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford. At an early stage of the proceedings counsel tor defendants raised objections to the indictment. These objections ‘were sustained by the Court, and the result was an acquittal of the defendants, who left the Court amid the Congratulations of their friends. An examination into the charge of criminal libel pre- ferred by Alexander Shepherd, Vice Prosident of the Board ot Works of the District of Columbla, and Henry D. Cooke, Governor of that District, against Mr. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, was had yesterday before Commissioner Davenport. It reSulted in Mr. Dana agree- ing to give bail in $5,000 to answer the charge in question. Yesterday Edwin C. B. Garsia, Consul General of Ura- guay, was examined before Commissioner Betts on a charge of having committed perjury in relation toa tain contract which, it is alleged, he entered into with one Nathaniel McKay for the building ofa steamer tor a company in Buenos Ayres. The Commissioner, having heard the testimony, dismissed the charge, as the alleged perjury was sworn to by but one witness. Judge Blatchford purposes leaving for Newport, R. T., on the Ist of Jaly, and will return to hold Court for three days about the middle of that month, It is his intention to hear admiralty causes in October; jury, common law, and bankruptcy causes in November, and admiralty 4rom December to February. THE ARREST OF MR. DANA. His Examination Betore Commissioner Davenport—Protest Against the Pro- ceedings—Bail to Be Accepted. ‘We reported in the Weraup of yesterday that Mr. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, had been arrested and brought before Commissioner Davenport on a charge of having published in the Suna criminal libel, alleging that Mr, Shephard, Vice President of the Board of Works of the District of Columbia, and Henry D. Cooke, Gover- mor of that district, had been guilty of corrupt practices in connection with the Metropolitan Paving Company of Washington, and had sworn falsely before the Investigat- ing Committee of the House of Repr: utatives. The re- Bult was that the case was set down for hearlag before the Cominissioner, Mr. Dana having been allowed to go ‘on his parole. Yesterday Mr. Dana, with his counvel, Mr. W. O. Bart- Jett, was in attendance at ten o'clock in the little office of Commissioner Davenport in the Federal Building, Shortly after that hour Mr. Bliss, United States District Attorney, entered the office, and said the court room of the United States Circuit Court was unoccupied, and as it was large and convenient, it would be weil if they adjourned there tor the purpose of holding the examination. ‘To this suggestion all parties assented, and they imme diately repaired to the place indicated, Atabout a ee? past ten o'clock Commissioner Da- venport took his seat on the bench. r. Bliss, Mr. Tremain,and Mr. Richard Harrington, Assistant District Atturney of the District of Columbia, Sppeared for the prosecution, and, as already stated, Mr, + O. Bartlett for the defence: A LIVELY TIME—SPICY PROCEEDINGS, Mr. Bliss said he would examine Mr. Williams. Mr. Bartlett desired to call attention to the alternative form of the warrant—of the papers in the case—which ‘Were to bring the defendant before His Honor or some Judge or Justice of the United States. He repeated the Fequest which he made yesterday, that they should ap- ear before Judge Blatchford in this case. fle supposed at. was the alternative, to appear either before the Judge or the Commissioner. Mr. Biiss remarked that upon the warrant the defend- ant had been brought before the Commissioner ising the warrant. Mr. Bartlett had a right to go before Judge Blatchiord atter the close of these proceedings ona Proper certiorari; but upon a preliminary examination counsel had no such right. ‘Commissioner Davenport—Go on, Mr. Bliss. Arthur B. Williams was here cailed to the stand and sworn, He said—I reside in Washington. Mr. Bartlett—Before going on, } make an objeetion to the jurisdiction of the Cominissioner in this case. From the face of the papers the Commissioner has no jurisdic dion Whatever. | We object to going into an exaniination, and we object to being held by Your Honor, or by thé Disirict Attorney, on any of the papers on which the de- Jendant was hela’ or arrested. ‘Mr. Bliss—If you do not desire an examination, then I ‘ask for the cominitral of the defendant. Commissioner Davenport—Do I understand Mr, Bart- Jett to argue the question of jurisdiction? Mr. Bartlett—Yes. Mr. Bliss—1 understood you yesterday to demand an examination, Ir you walye it I sha ask the committal of the defendant. ‘Mr, Bartlett—I protest against the authority of this Court togo into an examination. I hold that Your Honor no right to issue the warrant, and the District At- torney had no right to put his name on it It has no More eficacy than if it was signed by two bootblacks in e streets. Mr. Blise—You appeared yesterday for Mr, Dana, and demanded an exawinat on, which’ was set down for to- day. We are here to go of with that examination. If you waive the examination we will go on without you, Mr. Barilett—It was not solely for an examination, but to examine the papers in the case. That was a common law richt. You cannot compel men to plead or take any action in any criminal proceeding until fair and reaso: able time and opportunity are given to examine the all gations made against them. As I stated yesterday, we ad only a moment's notice to examine the papers, and [ provest, Against this as @ most fagrant outrage. It was to ok into the papers that we were commanded to come here, and I say that those papers are wholly wanting in legal eMcacy and power. You (the Commissioner) have no ity to compel Us to give bail or go on with an examination. ‘Mr. Bliss—\Vhat ground have you for saying that there 4s want of authority in this Court?

The tri! of Woodhull, Claflin and Biood, who were in- Micted for sending obscene publications through the mails, was resumed yesterday in the United States Dis. NEW’ YORK HERALD, behalf ofthe government to conduct the prosecution; and Mr. Brooke, Mr. Jordan and Mr, McKinlay were counsel for the detendants. The court room was much more crowded than on the Preceding day. Among the spectators were some wo- men. If those who attended expected to hear details of the alleged Beccher-Tilton-Challis scandal they wero doomed to deep disappointment; for the very question to be tried shut out all chance of entering into either the truth or faisehood of the scandal alluded to. The point to be determined by the jury was whether the article ablished in Woodhutt G Clalia’s Weekly relating wo Mre eecher and Mr. Challis was obscene within the mean- ing of the act of Congress. TESTIMONY OF ANTHONY J. COMSTOCK, The first witness called to the stand was Anthony J. Comstock, who. as a kind of agent on the part of the Young Men's Clirtstian Association, has made It his busi- Ressto act as detective in hunting down the sellers of and dealers in obscene books and pictures, He testified that he went to Greenwich, Conn., and wrote to the de- fendants for ‘certain copies Of Woodhull 4 Cl Weekly, containing the article on the Beecher- scandal; le enclosed $1 50 in the letter, which he sent in the name of J. Beardsley. After inuch discussion a copy of the letter was read in evidence. Mr. Jordan, on the part of the defendants, made a long legal argument, claiming that the matter alleged to be obscene was not by law, prohibited from being trans used in their manufacture and certain office furnitare. Soon after this the Marshall Horse Cotlar Company was organized, with Baker as president, and by virtue of a resolution passed by the Hoard of Manaers he purchased for the company from his own firm the property which they had retelved from Hinsdale for $8. the, frm of Freeman & Baker atterwards dissolved and this claim Was assigned to Frceman, who brought this action to re- cover for the amount of the claim, with interest. ‘The defendants claim that Hinsitate, before giving, the bill of sale to Freeman & Baker, had executed to C,H, Huff a chattel mortgage of certain property at 198, Bank street, which included this Identical property in, sult, At being'afterwards removed by Hinsdal his store’ in Chambers street; that the mortgage was foreclosed and the property afterwards sold by Huff to Charles W. Bus sell, who succeeded Baker asthe President of the Mar- shall Uorse Collar Company, and that no one of the officers and trustees of ‘the company except Baker knew of any snch transaction as is alleged by the plaintiff until attor Baker's connection with the company ceased. The defendants also claim that the purchase. of the property by Baker, as president of the company, trom higown firm, at a price alleged to be greatly in'gxcess of its real value, y was a fraud upon the company. i ry that, as the statute in a ‘The Court instructed the | rerard¥o chattel mortgages declares that they shall be filed in the county io which the mortgager resides at the time of their execution, and the mortgager 1n this case {ilinedate) resided in Brooklyn while the mortage was led in this city. the company obtained no title to the Property from Huff, and, therefore, the only question for he jury to consider was'In regard fo the alleged, traud. anitted through the mails. Mr. Brooke, on the same side, took the ground that the indictment did not bring the deiendants within thé opera- tion of the law prohibiting the forwarding of obscene publications through the mails, Mr. A. H. Purdy, on behalf of the government, made a briet reply, con jing that the indictment was good. ‘kudue Blatchford, at the close of the argament, said he did not think this prosecution could be maintained. He entered into an elaborate criticism of the acts of Con- ress of 1460, 1872, and 1873, bearing upon the question of Indecent publications. ‘The first act on this subject was not the act of 1872, but was passed in March, 1865, and it provided thatno book, pamphlet, priat, or other publica. tion of an indecent’ character’ should be forwarded through the mails, In that respect the same words were found in the MSth sectiongof the act of 1872, The act of 1865 went on to provide that no book, pamphiet, print or other publication of un indecent character shall be de- posited in the mail, ‘That remained im the statute book down to 1872, when the 148th section of the act of that year pursued the same language, but it added some new things not found in the uct of 1860; 1t referred to any letter or envelope on which scurrilous epithets were written or disloyal devices or statements were printed or engraved, and it prohibited these things trom being car. ried in the mail. ‘This added to the previous list of things in the act, of 1505, and there were provisions reierring to a léter, envelope or, postal card on which scurrilous epithets were written or printed. or disloyal devices were engraved. ‘Then this act of 1573 was passed, and it was evidently intended, on the face of it, to enlarge very much the scope of the one hundred and forty-eighth section of the act of 1872. for it includes, in addition to the words previously referred to, the word “paper.” ‘Then it went on to specity certain articles or things which, were not publications or writings or litho- raphs but were physical objects to be employe’ and faudled tor an niecent use, tt thon went back. tc printed matter, and it regards the serding of a circular or information stating where these things were manufactured or sold ag an offence—that is, the scni- inz of such information through the mails. All that was inserted in the new act of 1873. ‘ihey formed a series of logslation on this subject from 1863, In the act of 1365 book, “pamphlet, print or other publications | was referred to: but ko far as pamphlet was concerned that heed not be enumerated, because, « pamphlet was a publi- cation, as was also a’ book. This showed that very little importance was {o be attached to this enumé Taiion, so itr as its tautology was concerned, Then ‘came the act including the word “pape ‘That certainly was intended to convey the idea that there could have been no intent to include a paper—they did not sey newspaper, but Congress said paper, and they seemed to have included that in the expression “other publications:” and, therefore, he thought it would be a proper construction 10 hold that, with other publica- tions of the same character, books, pamphlets and prints were included. But when they found that the act in whieh the word “paper” was inserted was a penal stat- ute the Court was bound to hold that that word was not intended to be included in the act of 1872 a8 a paper within the, meauing of “other publications of a similar character.” On the face of this paper it purnorted to be something which a. per. son could subscribe for—one copy for one year tor $3. It said, in addition to that, that it would receive advertise- ments. Itcalled itself a paper. The Court should say that, on the tace of, tl per, it was not a book or a pamphlet, and the Court must take judicial notice of what a paper was, where it appeared every week and called Itself 4 weekly. “Itcould not inter, on seeing this paper, that It was a book, a pamphlet, a picture, or print. He therefore thought this prosecution could not be main- ined. Mr. Purdy, for the government, offered to enter a nolle prosequi on the indictment," Mr. Brooke—No; we want a verdict. Judge Blatchford—I state to the jury that the govern- ment has offered no evidence to support the indicunent. ‘The jury then found a verdict, acauitting the prisoners. There was no applause in Court; but several women of the strong-minded class gathered around Tennie and Victoria, and congratulated them on the victory they had justachieved over the District Attorney through the legal “skill of their ab ‘There Was some Kise ing and embra and nutes the court as empty und silontas af ite cohoes had never th the story of the Woodhull & Claflin prosecution. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART I. The Old Christy Will Suit. Hannah Harrington, Plaintiff, vs. Gompert 8 Gom, perts and Others, Defendants.—In 1849 the plaintiff, the daughter of Benjamin Gomperts, married George N. Harrington, whose stage name was George Christy? and who was the celebrated negro minstrel, He purchased the house No. M1 West Twenty-third street, in this city, in 1854, and in 1869 gave it to Mrs. Christy. In 1883 he became embarrassed, and, contemplating @ trip to California, devised a scheme to get his wife to convey the house ‘and lot to her fathe; which was done by her signing @ deed, the contents which she was ignorant of, Upon the’ representations made by her husband—to wit, that it was necessary, to keep him out of jail, The father, Benjamin Gomperts, in 1860, being souiewhat embarrassed himself, gold the house to nis son Gompert, for $1, ‘who sold it to his mother for $1, and the mother, dying . in, 1872, devised the’ same in such @ Way that George’ Christy’s widow, the plaintiff, should receive only one-eleventh, and her brothers and sisters, five in number, two-clevenths.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. An Army of Prisoners Disposed of by the % Recorder. Before Recorder Hackett. His Honor the Recorder and Assistant District Attorney Morace Russell had ax opportunity to exercise their ex- ecutive ability in this Court yesterday, for the calendar of prison cases was very large. Before the hour of ad- journment arrived a small army of prisoners were dis posed of by them, which will enable the prosecuting off- cers to make the July term very short. The first hour of the session'was occupied by the Jaw- yers in making motions for the discharge of their clients who have been deutined for a number of weeks, and in some cases months, in the Tombs awaiting trial. ‘Mr. Ruasell in nuiuerous instances made no opposition, stating lis reasons to the Court why the prosecution ‘would be unable to secure @ conviction of the accused artes. PAmong the prisoners let go was Join Keefe, alias “Jonny the Greek,” who was indicted tor robbery + sec: ond offence. ‘The Complainant was unable to positlyely swear to his identity. ‘The Recorder, in discharging this alleged notorious car pickpocket, milmated that the Dis- trict Attorney would, no doubt, soon have him again. Bryan Dougherty, charged with bigamy, was also dis- charged, as his trt wife had gone away and could notbe found, Mr. Howe moved to have “General” Greenthal, for whom he got a new trial, bailed in the sum of $1,000.” The motion was withdrawn’ for the present, as the District Attorney promised to try lilm enrly next month. Mary ‘Holcomb, who was convicted early in tho term of obtaining $1,240 in money by {aise pretences trom Ann Coleman, was placed at the bar. These women are keep- ers of disreputable houses in Greene street. As the proot upon the trial Was not so conclusive as it might be of the defendant's guilt, and affidavits being furnished to the Court ot newly discovered evidence, and as the com- lainant came forwara and said that the money had heen reiunied by Mrs, Holcomb, the Recorder discharged her upon her oWn recognizance. A Noted Forger Sent to the State Prison for Five Years. James H. Drake, who pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree, and against whom were several complaints ofa like character, was sent tothe State Prison tor five years.

Judge Dowling exed Hilton, somewhat scrutinizingly and said, “I think know you.” Hilton’ looked at the Judge and merely returned a vacant stare.

Alleged Wrongful Commitment. Before Judge Neilson. A respectable appearing woman named Jane Klein ‘was recently committed by Justice Delmar to the House of the Good Shepherd for six months, on the charge of vagrancy. Yesterday morning her husband applied to Judge Neilson for her discharge from that institution, ‘and alleged that she was not a vagrant and that the Jus- tice had no right to commit her as such for so long a term, ‘The prisoner was produced in Court on a writ of a OFDUs, Assistant District Attorney Cullen opposed the appHca- tion and contended that the gommitment was regular on its face, and suggested that the proper way to proceed ‘was by a writ of certiorart to review the proce pains, Judge Neilson dismissed the writ of habeas corpus, without prejudice, however, to an application tor a writ of certiorari, REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Infiaence of the Money Market on Property—Suburban Sales Held and to Come. In city property on ’Change nothing was done yesterday worth recording; at private sale, how- ever, tour lots on the north side of 113th street, and four on the south side of 114th street, 200 feet east of Tenth avenue, each 25x100.5 fect, changed hands at $4,800 a piece. Were it not for the brisk season in suburban gales the real estate columns of the press’ would show but a beggarly array of intelligence at pres- ent. Yet the market is firm, and holders will not yleid an inch from the high rates demanded by them. Especially is this state of affairs the more astonishing, at the very easy money market, in contradistinction to last Winter's ex- perience, when borrowing rates were so enormous and mortgages had to be covered or foreclosed, But, as stated in this column before, the money market has but little influence on realestate op- erations. If any one wants a piece of property he Will buy it, no matter how much it costs. The sale of realestate belonging to Mr. Black- well, held at Grand View City on the 26th inst., by Jere. Johnson, was @ great success. The property was put up in plots of from three to thirteen lots each; fifty-five of these realized $36,200. One water front plot of thirteen lots brought $4,924. Water frouts ranged from $220 to $825 per city lot; inside lots trom $120 to $160. ‘The following is a detailed statement of the auc- tion sale of property at Great Neck, L, 1., on Thurs- day, June 26:— 1 plot on 3d av. and Ist st.; R.

Some time ago this propert: the ‘Waverly subcivision of Grand Park,” was sold at auction by the late Andrew Wilson, at rates varying from $300 to $1,200 per lot. Owing to his sudden death the sale was never consummated, After considerable legal sparring and foreclosures the property was bought by Western creditors who held a second morigage. The present sale 1s eremptory and by direction of Townsend & jaan, attorneys, ‘On Monday an important sale of Westchester property, located in the township of Morrisania, consisting of about one hundred and twenty city lots, will be held on Monday, the 30th inst., by the veteran auctioneer, Mr. Benjamin P. Fairchild, under direction of Henry J. Cullen, referee. The sale is in partition, by virtue of special act of the Tees passed at its last session. It will be gratifying news to the public generally to be informed that the fine drive on Seventy- second street, over Telford pavement, is now open from the Central Park to the Grand Boulevard, thus forming @ continued and uninterrupted avenue for vehicles from Fifty-ninth street to the Harlem River.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, The Commissioners of Public Parks met yester- day at the office of the Department in Union square and organized by unanimously electing Henry G. Stebbins permanent president. Mr. Stebbins thanked the Commissioners for their consideration in thus overcoming any doubta that might exist in relation to the design of the Legislature as to his permanent retention as president, especially as it is understood that the Executive and Law Depart- ments hold the opinion that each commission should elect its own presiding officer. He also promised to aid in the prompt organization of the Department and in arranging the necessary details for eMcient work without delay, and further stated that he had not designed to remain permanently in the office of president, nor did he now intend todo 80, but should at no remote period ask them to accept his res Mee sticn, and that trom @ strong Madge desire to be relieved from re- sponsibillties and cares which are not diminishing, and could not be, under the new order of things. Considerable routine business was transacted, and various plans for the future were discussed. A letter was read from the Comptroller, advising tne Board that he had received their communication asking for a certain amount of bonds to be sold and p! to the credit of the Park Department, and promising to use his endeavors to raise the necessary amount as soon as practicable. The Board passed resolutions ordering 4 resumption of certain unfinished works on the ks (which will Pcl a oe te tad C= ua laborers sr had en previously nded), an Sppropriatin a sum not over $40,000 for ‘reworks tn the various Parks July 4.
