* 10 THE COURTS. DANIEL DREW IN THE COURTS Charges of Fraudulent Insolvency Made, Against the Old Commodore—The- ase of Kenyon Cox & Oo THE GRINNELL BANKRUPTCY CASE. Judge Blatehford's Decision—Blake Bros. & Co, to Sell the Stocks in Their Hands. MEDLEY OF MANDAMUS MOTIONS, Impertant Decisions by Judge Bar ett In Cases Against Comptroller Gren, IN THE OTHER COURTS. It will be seen by refereace te*our law report ‘that, in the matter of George Biré Grinnell & Co., against whom a petition for adjudécation of bank- ruptcy has been filed in the United States District Court, Judge Blatchford has granted an order modifying an injunction which went to restrain Blake Brothers & Co. from selling certain stocks placed in their hands by George bird Grinnell & Co, as collaterals, The order of the Judge enables Blake Brothers & Co. to sell the stocks in question: subject to certain conditions and requirements og the bankruptcy law. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday Edmund Walker was put upon his trial, betore Judge Benedict and a jury, on an indictment charging him with having had in his possession, at Morrisania, Westchester county, a plate intended to be used for the printing of counterfeit money, After a trial, which lasted the whole day, the jury found a verdict of guilty, recommending the pris- oner to mercy. Floris Suich, a sailor of the Italian vessel Patric, was yesterday brought beiore Commissioner Osborn, aud held for examination, ona charge of desertion. E, M. Grandon, who had been convicted in the United States Circuit Court of sending ob- scene publications through the mails, and suf- ered a year’s imprisonment for that offence, has applied to Commissioner Shields for his discharge, on the ground that he was unable to pay the fine of $500 which was attached to the sentence, and has been in prison for more than thirty days beyond the term fixed by the Court. Grandon, in all prob- ability, will be discharged to-day. A medley of mandamus matters will be found reported below. It will be seen that Judge Bar- Tett has given an important decision touching some applications for mandamuses recently made before him m Supreme Court Chambers. It will be further seen that the confiding jewellers who made goid badges for the members of the Common Council of 1870 are not likely to get their money, An interesting feature of the report is Mr. Dexter A. Hawkinsjinterviewing the HERALD law reporter. A petition has been filed by W. L. Scott, of Erie, Pa., for the purpose of throwing Kenyon Cox & Co., bankers, into bankruptcy. It is stated in the petition that Daniel Drew is a member of this firm; that they have suspended payment of their com- mercial paper, aud that Daniel Drew recently, in contemplation of insolvency, executed four mort- gages of real estate in New York, to the amount of $270,000 each, for the purpose of defrauding his creditors and hindering and delaying the opera, tion of the Bankruptcy act. The order to show cause why the firm should not be adjudicated bank- ru,t is returnable on Saturday next, the 18tn inst. DANIEL DREW IN THE COURTS. ‘BUSINESS Charges of Fraudulent Insolvency Made Against the Old Commodore—A Petition in Bankruptcy Filed Against Kenyon Cox & Co—Danicl Drew Involved— More Light Wanted. William L. Scott, of Erie, Pa., has filed in the United States District Court @ petition in bank- ruptcy, alleging that he is a creditor of Daniel Drew, Kenyon Cox, William H. Hutchinson ana Horace Manuel, doing business under the firm name of Kenyon Cox & Co., and he prays that this frm be adjudicated bankrupts.

Taylor, Treasurer of the Canada Southern way Company, dated July 14, 1873, for $8,084, and accepted by Kenyon Cox & Co. on July 21, 1873; that on the 20th day of September, 1873, Daniel Drew (as the petioner is informed and verily be- Neves) did, in contemplation of bankruptcy or in- solvency, execute and deliver four certain mort- gages ior $70,000 each—one to Louisa R, Edey, one to orgiana Everett, one to Jose- Cozzens, and one to Antoinette Cozzens—all payable upon demand and ‘upon real estate in this city; that the mortgages in question were given with intent to give a prefer- ence to the mortgagees, and with the intent by euch imcumbrance of Mr. Drew's property to de- Traud‘his creditors and deieat and delay the opera- tion of the Bankruptcy act. The petitioners want More |\ght thrown on the matter. Upon. this petition Judge Blatchford has granted an order returnable on Saturday next, the 1th inst., cating upon Kenyon Cox & Co, to show cause Wiy they‘ahould not be adjudicated bankrupts, THE a Naics “iy OF GRINNELL ° Blake Brothas & Co. to Sell the Stocks in Their Hands Subject to Certain Con- ditions—Judg ¢ Blatchtord’s Decision, Yesterday Judge i 3latchford rendered his decision in the United States, District Court in the matter of George Bird Grinnel.& Oo., against whom a peti- tion for adjudication o f bankruptcy has been filed, The decision, it will be: seen, modifies an injunction ordef which had been ,aranted, restraining Blake Brothers & Oo, from sel ing certain stocks placed in their hands by George Bird Grinnell & Co, The decision is asifollows :— In this matter, on tng motion of Blake, Brothers # Co., let an order bé en, ‘ered modding the in- ae 80 48 to allow then 1 to sell, rding to he course of the New York: Stock Exchange, ail ‘the stocks and bonds remaint ngin their hands (spe- giving the same) mentione d in the affidavit of Mr. Olcott, a8 having been « ‘eposited with Blake, Brothers & Co., by George Bir, d Grinnell & Co., a8 collateral security, and to use the proceeds as if ey, were their own moneys, m (bject, however, to and reserving the right and’ py wer of this Court, in case of #n adjudication of ban kruptey and sub- Sequent proceedings thereon, 4) ascertain and liquidate the liens and specific cla, {ms which have been, or may be set up by Blake Brothers & ea in respect of all or any o,° sald stocks and bonds, or of the proce'ds of the same, and to marshal and disp Of such Proceeds and reserving the right of a, ny assignee in bankruptey, who may be appointed herein, to Question by suit or otherwise the valid.'ty of the ledge of the securities deposited wis, Blake rothers & Co,, by George Bird Grinnell & CO., on the 18th of Se; ember, 1573, " namely 400 sh Fes of the capital Mook of ‘the Union Pacific fa:'iroad 10) 400 stares of the common capital . ‘tock ago and’ North Western Railroad (‘om- pany; nd $10,000 Of the registered Lake Shore 4 nd me gan Pouthern Ratiway Company's Sinkh nd bonds, and the validity of the pledge of th & Bi NEW YORK HERALD, the Moaincauor, yw pe sw that Blake Bretners & Co, within two “ays after the vo the condition sl file in this Cours, future sale of any of sai securities, a sworn ement of the particulars of the same,, A provision must be inserted in the or- der th.t nothing contained in tt shall be construed a8 a O1rection of the Court for the sale o! the secu- rites within the meaning of the twentieth section of the tains yt act or otherwise, or as implying ay assent by George Bird Grinnell & Co. to a sale, So far as sueh assent was or is necessary under the terms of the contract of pledge. The order will be settled on notice to the debtors and to the peti- tioning creditor, MEDLEY OF MANDAMUS MATTERS. Important Decisions by Judge Barrett— ‘An End of the Badgering About Those ‘Common Council Golge Badges—Cases Set Down for Hearing—Joseph B. Young’s Copyiste-The Services at Albany of Dexter A. Hawkins. If the mandamus business keeps up its present liveliness in the courts it is urged that there ought to be a special judge assigned to take exclu- sive cognizance of this class of cases. Lawyers complain that they cannot get their cases attended toon account of the growth in this branch of liti- gation, Comptroller Green has-employed a special mandamus lawyer, and why not, it is urged, have a special mandamus judge as weil? and then the mandamus machine can be run without detriment to the great multiplicity of other actions, which, it is claimed, are of equally pressing character, IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY JUDGE BARRETT. Opening yesterday’s manaamus budget were some important decisions renderea by Judge Barrett upon cases recently heard by bim while sitting in Supreme Court, Chambers. As to George H, Purser's claims, which are for services as clerk to commissioners in six street openings, and which it was sought to have paid through a peremptory mandamus directed to the Comptroller, Judge Bar- Tett refused the mandamus asked for on the round that the proper remedy is by action at law. & course the inference is that Mr, Purser will now retire (rom the mandamus business and seek jus- tice al the hands of a jury. The same disposition was made regarding a similar application made by Mr. John A. Bagley to recover pay for services as surveyer in four street open- ings, William Wood, Gratz Nathan and John Hen- nessey are put in the same boat, The main ground of resistance to the applications of these three gentiemen is that atthe time they performed the services for which they claim pay in connection With street openings they were holding county offices and are not entitled to two salaries. Mr, Dexter A. Hawkins, the Comptroller’s special man- damus lawyer, insists that the decisions in the cases of Purser and Bagiey cover @ score or more of similar cases in which he has been retained by the Comptroller. Some of the opposing counsel, however, think otherwise, and, like the memorably intractable Brown, think it will not do to give it up so. P 89. pHOSE COMMON COUNCIL GOLD BADGES. While many of the gold badges given to the mem- bers of the Common Council in 1870 have long since “gone where the woodbine twineth,” the untortu. nate jewellers’ firm who filled the order find their claim as hopelessiy gone up the spout. Having been defeated in a sult brought against the city, on the ground that there was no appropriation from which to pay the claim, they sought to geta peremptory mandamus against the Board of Esti- mate and Apportionment. directing them to make the necessary appropriation. This application was | yesterday denied by Judge rrett onthe ground | of their having been nonsuited. ANOTHER SURVEYOR’S CLAIM. The details of M. Edward Boyle’s claims against the city for services as surveyor have been too fre- quently given in these columns to require recapitu- lation, me time since the bill was taxed for the full amount of the claim and his counsel, Mr. Abraham R, Lawrence, bas fought earnestly fora peremptory mandamus against the Comptroiler, directing its payment, The case was set down tor argument yesterday, in Supreme Court Chamters, belore Judge Favcher, Mr. Hawkins was on hend and insisted that the decision or Judge Barrett referred to above covered this case also. Mr. Lawrence took issue on this point, and said he decidedly objected to having this case tagged on any other cases Mr., Hawkins might have, Judge Fancher threw in the remark that he never knew two mandamus cases alike, and that each stood on its own bottom. “Well, I must have time to prepare my return,’’ protested Mr. Hawkins, “That's the old singsong,” said Mr. Lawrence, “and I am getting tired of it.” “How much time do you want?” the Judge asked Mr. Hawkins. (—i!,”? began Mr. Hawkins. Never mind the ‘ifs,’ said the Judge, the case down peremptorily for Wednesda, JOSEPH B. YOUNG'S COPYING CLERKS. Once on atime, and not avery long time ago either, Mr. Joseph B. Young, while Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, through authority of the Board, employed a number of clerks to extend the tax books. The aggregate of their claims was $11,500, and the Supervisors audited the bill for this amount and directed the same to be paid. From Judge Pratt, who was then holding Supreme Court Chambers in this city, a mandamus was asked for against the Comptrojler. Mr. Hawkins resisted the claim, and the result has been that the clerks have agreed to accept $6,000, and the same has been paid to them on receipts being given absoiv- ing tue city from any further liability In the matter. ‘MR, HAWKINS IN SELP-DEFENCE. As Mr. Hawkins was retiring from the arena of legal strive he neers} the HERALD reporter. “The papers, | see,’ he observed smllingly, ‘are giving me ‘rats’ about my being paid, §7,500 for Services in Albany.”” | _ “I suppose many think,” observed the reporter, “that the charges Were rather steep for a pro- fessed reformer.” “I acted the reformer, too,’ answered Mr. Haw- kins, his countenance now as devoid of a@ smile as that of the great reformer, Luther, at the Diet of Worms. “i saved the city millions of dollars, and, instead of the paltry sum I received, $80,000 would not have been too much for my services,”” The great mandamus lawyer then withdrew, og ends yesterday’s record of mandamus matters, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBEAS.

Murphy rented the Atheneum Theatre from William H. Craig at $3004 Week. About a week ago Samuel Schafter, from whom Mr, Craig had got the first lease, brought proceedings to dis- possess and optained a judgment in Judge Hart- man’s Court. Messrs. Butler & Murphy at once brought sult to restrain Mr. Schafter from dispossessing them, ciaimi that the latter knew them to be tenants under Mr. Craig, and that they had paid the rent according to contract. The: obtained an injnnction yh ee the execution of the dispossess warrant, appetites was made in this Court yesterday to dissolve the injunction, 000 of the last described honds deposited with! a e Boomers & Co.. by George Bird Grinnell & Mee on the 26th of September, 1878, and reserving e Tight of such assignee to question the right of Biake Brothers & Co. to hold surplus securities given on one loan for a deficiency on any other joau, and reserving the right of such 5 mee to yenpert cae pre & Co. to account Be fh Spo!

The Court dissolved the injunction. MARINE COURT—PART Il, Action for Assault and Battery. Before Judge Howland, Bary MoNulty ve Patrick aud Qiarleg_ Brewster vs. Manning.—Order settled; let it be | McShane,—The plaintiff? alleges that on the oth of last March while in the defendants’ liquor stere they assaulted him, without cause or provocation on his part, and beat him on the head, one with & club and the other with @ cart rung, so that his life was despaired of forseveral days, and he was ‘unable to do any work for five or six weeks. The defendants testified tnat the plamtifr came into their store and was abusing an old man by the name of Peter Nugent; they ordered him out; he reiused to go and they put him out and closed the door, He kicked in two of the panels of the door and they then went ont and were obliged to use force in removing lim from the premises. Officer Warner, of the Sixth precinct, aud several others testified that the plaintif’s character jor peace and quietness was very pad, and the plaintii’ admitted that he bad been arrested for disorderly conduct. The Court, in Reem B the jury, said that if they found that the plaintit kicked im the panels of the dovr and was noisy and troublesome, the defend- ants had a right to use sufficient force to remove him from the premises; and while they had no right to use undne violenes, still they could not be held to @ very strict accountability, as it would be very diilicult, under the circumstances, to decide as to the absolute amount of force necessary to be used. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. CCURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Hackett. A large number of prisoners were disposed of yesterday by the Recorder, District Attorney Rol- lins prosecuting, An Assault Upon a Woman.

The New Liquor Law—No Penalty At- tached to a Violation of Its Provisions.] The first arrest for violation of the new Excise law of 1873, relating to selling intoxicatiag IMquors, was made by officer Grinnan, of the Eighth pre- cinct, on Sunday last, in the person of Peter Gon- zales, who keeps a saloon at No. 174 South Fifth avenue. The prisoner was arraigned before Justice Bixby at the Jefferson Market Police Court yester- day morning. When the case was called Mr. James D. McClelland, appeared as counsel for the de- fence and inquired of the Court under what law his client was chargeable with a misdemeanor. He argued that the law of 1868, making the selling of liquor without a license a inisdemeanor, had been repealed by the act 0/ 1870, und that the act of 1873 did not revive it, and that there was no penalty prescribed for a@ violation of its provisions.

Various Views from a Variety of Vantage Points. What an Auctioveer or Broker, an Owner, @ Beller, a Buyer, a Speculator and an Outsider Know About the Market. A COMMON MEETING GROUND. Further Oonsideration of the Questions of Resumption and Currency Reform in Their Relation to Real Values. Importance ot Conserva~ tive Action. LATEST TRANSACTIONS There are various views to be had of the real estate market, and every day but demonstrates more clearly the incompleteness of each several view. We do not assert that any of these views aie unworthy in their origin, or that the repre- sentative of any class would be untruthiul in his stated convictions, but it belongs to all men to be influenced in their perceptions by self-interest, unconsciously frequently. Hence, in “giving its proper weight to any opinion as to the present or future condition of the real estate market, this mugt be borne in mind, The auctioneer or broker, when his relation to the market1s wholly vicarious, ig perhaps the most impartial authority, within the lumited sphere of his vision, and as his commis- sions increase or diminish can tell whether the market is dull, active, buoyant or depressed, In the two latter conditions of the market he can speak as one having authority when these condl- tions pertain to dealings. In the dull period of the market he is at sea and can only REASON A POSTERIORI that property is held too high, 1t being a more human inference, though, not always correct, that the possessor overrates the value of his possession rather than that he who would seek to secure it for his own use should underestimate it. No mat- ter what the event, however, the auctioneer’s or broker's interest lies on the side of an animated market, as his commissions depend upon dealings. Hence, as between bull and bear, if influenced at all by this natural sympathy, he is on that side which promised the most transactions, Turn we now to the owner’s view of the market. He, if he is a large capitalist, capable of carrying his real estate without inconvenience, is inditfer- ent to the ordinary changes that take place in cur- rent values from year to year, and when questioned as to his opinion respecting real estate as an in- vestment calmly expresses his conviction that it is the only safe one. Speak to him of the possibility ofa reaction, and he will assure you it can be only temporary ; there can be no permanent decline, WEAK HOLDERS, however, he will add, may suffer in such a crisis, but those who bought intelligently and understand. ingly upon suMficient margins have nothing to ap- prehend, while this shaking out of the weak hands will be in the end a benetit and tend to give greater strength to the whole market, ‘The buyer, on the other hand, seeking a profit- able investment, looks half admiringly and half dis- trustfully at tne high prices asked for choice propert: nxious to be an owner, with such prices prevailin, would enable him to “get in’ cheap. these several classes, alternately influencing one or the other, are the speculators, who buy without a thought of permanent investment and sell again when a fair profit is offered them. They are ‘bull’? and “bear”? as their immediate interests lie, and, operating largely on margins, frequently give a tone to the market other than legitimately belongs toit. The HERALD comes in here with its outside view of these several views, noting the daily trans- actions as they occur as so much contribution of fact in connection with THE GENERAL CURRENT OF FINANCIAL MOVEMENTS to help to determine what ought to be the condi- tion of the real estate market. Attention has been already drawn to the fact that real estate escaped the financial revulsion which played such havoc with stock values recently, and, with Money still tight on the street, showed a reviving buoyancy that seemed to Promise an active season this fall. Thi promise is again obscured, as shown by the one tions of last week, and as otherwise the cond! 3 are all favorable to the better prospect that ap- peared to open it can only come from the inju- dicious agitation at this time of the question Of a Tesumption of specie be ments. A shrinkage. of values on the Stock Exchange, where values are notoriously speculative, because of a temporary derangement of the currency, which was either wickedly or ignorantly withdrawn from circula- tion, and an outiiow of 5 NO from England hence, as a result of a deadlock in our foreign exchanges ‘owing out of the same cause, producing a decline n the premiam on gold here, has created an en- thusiasm on the subject of reeumption that tureat- ens to carry even the President into THE VORTEX OF AN EXPERIMENT, It 18 quite true, as the President says, the recent panic came upon us in @& tme_ of general rosperity; that with @ considerable falling off of our imports, our exports show @ steady Increase, with one of the largest items of these exports in exceptional demand abroad; that the aid furnished by the ‘Treasury was more moral than real. All this is true aud has been already pointed out in the HERALD, but the President erré when he argues from the shrinkage of stock values that all other values have shrunk correspondingly, and’ that in the language of the late Mr, Greeley, “the only way to resume is to resume.” Mr. Greeley was right in one rendering of his famous senteutious summary ofthe situation. The only way “to resume” is to ‘wait patientiy the period when the only effort re- quired to do so will be “to resume.’ But to seek to bring about this end by direct legislation would be one of the gravest blunders Congress could commit. The President it will be seen, however, does not commit himself to any such error of judg- ment in speaking of the recommendations he should eran 4 in his next annual message. On the contrary he purposes to recommend legisla- tion around the subject, agit were, accepting some of the suggestions made by the HeRaLp with the same object in view. Most prominent of these is the proposition of “A PREB BANKING LAW with the same security to bill-holders as now.” This is the idea, beiore urged in this paper, of re- taining the same security for our currency as now ‘ists, but giving it elasiieity by making such cur- interchangeable with bond: interest on bonds to cease when the same pothecated for currency. The basis of such hypo- thecation might be placed at a figure below tic face value of the bond, to give uniformity to the exchange. This would remove the danger, which the President alludes to so foretbiy, of the accumu- lation of currency here during a certain period of the year, when not being able to find safe, profita- ble employment it is loaned to unsound enter- prises, its reconvertibility into the boud upon which it was originally issued would very mach lessen this temptation, ‘These two questions of resumption and currency reform are dwejt upon thus at length under this head because to no in- terest throughout the country do they address themselves with the same sober earnestness. With the stake they have in the issue, it will not do for real estate men to let matters of such serious Moment be decided by the mere ADVENTITIOUS ARGUMENIS OF WALL STREET, where tue pro and con on the various points invoived ave too likely to be but the “bull? and “bear instinct of tue hour, To the solid men of the country belong the discnasion and settiement Of auch grave issucs as pertain to the question of resumption, As the question is now before the at the Treasury, peopie, and 18, it may be said, certain to come before Congress at its next session, it would be weil if an effort were made on the part of those representing the con- servative sense of the country Ww put it in its proper light and so stop these pertodical excite- ments when specie payments are proclaimed as at hand, and sharp liquor dealers post iv their windows @ sign to the effect ‘we give silver in change here,’ The result of such recurring agita- tion is of course to unsettle valucs even of the most stable character aud generally interrupt business, Let it be clearly understood that no effort will be made wo force resumption, and let Congress direct its legislation on the currency question to giving the largest ease to the business of the country during times of sea activity, ‘without the interval of an unprofitable redundancy as its price, aud all will be weil.

Another Reception Previous to Her De- parture—Aristocratic and Fashionable Guests on Board. The new steamer Goethe, Captain J. A. Wilson, of the Eagle line, owned by the German-Transatian- tic Steam Navigation Company of Hamburg, which arrived at her dock in Hoboken, October 1, will leave this port to-morrow afternoon about half- past two o’clock, In addition to the grand recep- tion given on board of the magnificent vessel on Saturday night last, when General Grant’s two sisters, with several other distinguished ladies and gentlemen, were present, another reception of a similar but more private character was given last evening to commemorate the event of the steamer's first trip back across the Atlantic, Captain J, A. Wilson and a large number of other distinguished guests were present. Speechmaking, all other enjoyments were the order of the evening. The vessel looked as neat as possible, and every particle of its machinery, ornamentations and furniture appeared to ad- vantage. The vessel itself has already been de- scribed, and has been noted as one of the finest ships afloat, It has three iron decks, is fall brig- rigged, and has eight large lifeboats, two cylinders each 104 inches in djameter, four ieet six inches of stroke piston, and can run over fifteen miles an hour. Its iirst saloon is magnificently furnished and decorated, while the other saloons and steerage are of a superior kind. The great features of the vessel are her solid iron mould, and the safety and protection afforded ta passengers by the new inventions which have been introduced in her construction, Her flags will be hoisted this morning and she will steam down the bay with a number of leading merchants on board, 150 passen- gers, a crew of 120 men, a full cargo and a large amount of specie, The Goethe will no doubt have as faira voyage back to Hamburg as she had on her trip here and more favorable, as even more additional improvements have been made durin; her stay. The civil oMcers of Hoboken were well received on board and all speak highly of Captain Wilson aud his crew. Seven other vessels similar to the Goethe, and named after the German ports, are in course of completion by Messrs. Robert Na- Pier & Sons, of Glasgow. A SPORTING MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF. Patrick Brannigan, about forty-three years of age, formerly a faro dealer and sporting man gen- erally, yesterday morning shot himself in the left ear with a revolver, while lying in bed at his residence, 323 East Thirty-third street. For some time past Mr. Brannigan had been drinking to excess, and on Sunday evening invited his wife to take a ride through Central Park, during which he was unusually quiet. This excited the suspicion of his wife, and she endeavored to rally him, but in vain, On reaching Luf’s, out on the road, Brannigan drank the greater part of a small bottle of wine; and, re- turning home, went to bed, where he remained till ten o'clock yesterday morning, when he placed the pistol to his left ear, and, covering his head with the bedclothes, fired, the ball passing into his head, Brannigan, doubuess, was slightly de- ranged at the time of the occurrence. The wife soon jound him bleeding and groaning, and asked why he nad shot himself; but he refused to tell her, and adinitted that he took laudanum the night previous, and, furthermore, that it was his inten- tion to have taken nis life, Mrs. Brannigan, fear- ing that her husband would die, sent for Coroner Keenan, to see if he would make any statement or explanation regarding tie rashact. Brannigan was formerly quite wealthy, but his circumstances have become much reduced and he wasin debt. He is well known in sporting circles on the east side of the city. +--+ + -___ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
