[iNew Phase in Berrian’s Claim Against the City An Offset by the Corporation Counsel. !'The Court of Common Pleas as a County Court., (rust Funds in the Hands of Assignees of Insolvent Debtors---Important De- cision by Judge Robinson as to Court Jurisdiction. WBUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. Effort to Get Money on a Judgment Against the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company— Trials, Convictions and Acquittals in the General Sessions. In the United States Circuit Court, yesterday, Wefore Judge Benedict, the case of Frank L. Tain- ‘tor was called. Defendant is indicted for embez- \eling $400,000, the property of the Atianti¢ Nationai ‘Bank, of which establishment he had been cashier. ‘Tne Assistant District Attorney said he was ready 0 proceed with the matter. Neither the defendant nor his counsel was present and the case was ,passea for the present, John Foley appeared yesterday in the United \States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, and ‘showed cause why he should not be fined $250 for Men-attendance as a juror. He gave a satisfactory explanation and was excused for a week. Judge Woodruff will open the October term of ‘the United States Circuit Court to-morrow, on the ‘equity and common law side, The Clerk has got ‘the calendar printed, and this has proved to be of ‘the greatest possible convenience to members of ‘the Bar. In the sult of Daniel Berrian against the city, in ‘which it is charged that, through conspiracy with ‘Wm. M. Tweed, as Commissioner of Public Works, and Wm. H. Cook, Deputy Superintendent of Re- pairs in the Croton Aquedact Department, rob- Dery was perpetrated upon the city treasury, an amportant decision was given yesterday by Judge ‘Van Vorst, in Special lerm of the Court of Com- mon Pleas, The points of the decision will be found in the report of the case given below. The order to show cause why the Comptroller should not be punished for contempt of Court, for not complying with a peremptory mandamus, granted by Judge Pratt, directing payment of $44,000 to the Tenth National Bank for advances made to the New Court House Commissioners, came up. jor argument yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Fancher. It was shown that a stay of proceedings had been granted in the case, and upon this Judge Fancher vacated the order to show cause. This will compel proceedings ‘as to contempt de nova, if any further are taken in the matter. * An important decision was given yesterday, by Judge Robinson, of the Court of Common Pleas, touching the jurisdiction of the Court as to the ac- counting for a distribution of trust funds by as: Bignees of insolvent debtors. The main question involved, as will be seen by the report of the case elsewhere, was whether tne Court of Common Pleas is a county Court, The Supreme Court, General Term, Judges Brady and Barrett on the bench, adjourned yesterday till to-day, owing to the temporary illness of Judge Ingraham. MOVEMENTS OF THE TWEED REGIME, Berrian’s Little Bill—An Oftset Put in by the Corporation Counsei—What Judge Van Vorst Thinks of It. It will be a long time, probably, before in one way or another the name of William M. Tweed ceases to appear in proceedings in the courts. His name is mixed up In the well known suit of Daniel Berrian, brought against the city to recover money alleged to be due the latter for material fur- nished the city and work done. These ma- terials were furnished to the Croton Aque- duct Department, and the services performed were also for the same department, and this at the time William M. Tweed was Commissioner of Public Works. To Mr. Berrian's complaint in the pending action an answer was put in by Mr. E. Delafield Smith, Counsel to the Corporation, that Mr. Berrian had entered into a conspiracy with William H. Cook, Deputy Superintendent of Re- airs in the Croton Aqueduct Department, and Yliam M. Tweed as Commissioner of Public Works, and that through certificates frauduientiy signed by these two officials*the city was de- Jrauded out of $3,266 83, this amount, as alleged, being paid in excess of what was legally due; which allegations, of course, are denied by Mr. Berrian, and the Soe aes Counsel puts in the Same as an offset to Mr. Berrian’s claims in his present suit. A multiplicity of papers have passed between the contestants, including answer to an answer and a demurrer. The demurrer was that the answer was insuiicient to constitute a counter claim to the cause of action. There was along argument a this demurrer before Judge Van Vorst, hoiding Special Term of the Superior Court. Judge Van Vorst rendered yesterday his decision in the matter. It of course does not enter into the merits of the case, but simply decides a techinical point, but one, though, of rather important character. The jollowing is that portion of Judge Van Vorst’s opinion covering the chief point in the case:—"The defendant's counter claim, as plead, constitutes a tort. The wrong does not arise out of and 1s not connected with the claim set up in the claim, It is an Le ade cause of action, and for which the plaintiff is liable to arrest and imprisonment. It may be that the defendant couid have set up his claim for the moneys unpaid to the plaintuf in such torm as to waive the tort and such a recovery back | the moneys unpaid by way of counter claim on an implied contract to rejund the same. But in such case the pleading should set forth facts show- ing the defendant's election to proceed on the im- piled contract and not tor tne money, His conclu- sion 1s that the demurrer is well taken. Judg- ment therin is ordered in favor of the plaintif, with iiberty to the defendant to answer his answer in twenty days on the usual terms, JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Distribution of Trust Fands by As- signees of Insolvent Debtors—Have We a County Court!—Important Decision by Judge Robinson. Avery important decision in reforence to the jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pieas of this city to compel an accounting and distribution of trust fonds by assignees of insolvent debtors ‘was given yesterday by Judge Robinson, of the Court of Common Pleas. Owing to the peculiar ‘wording of the statute of this State under which general assignments are made for the benefit of creditors, it has been questioned sometimes by members of the Bar, and even by a Judge of the Supreme Court, whether the Court o: Common Pleas could act under the statute. The question ‘Was a grave one, for ii this Court had not jurisdic- tion no Court in the county of New York had, and assignees of insolvent debtors in this county could not be compelled to account under the provisions of the statute, although they coula be compelled to do 80 in any other county of the State. The matter came before Judge Robinson upon ‘the petition of the Quassaivk Woollen Mill Com- pany, of Millet | to compel Mr. ©, P. Crosby, as assignee of Townsend, Baker & Co. to account, Messrs. King and Meyer appeared for the petitioner, and Messrs, Fullerton, KDOX & Rien ptt ‘faingee. ae counsel for the as- ah ie star County Jud te @ had jurisdicts 1 there vas sdiction, and as there was no County Judge in the county of New York there- fore no officer in the county had jurisdiction, Mr. oat Of cousel for the petitioner, claimed that the Spe bonny ana rice Was the County Court of judge of th y Sonnts Tie, ; ge 0 at Court was the inson, in a lengthy opinion, ti . {the views of the petitioner ‘Tne course unt Syrauy was that the Court of Common Pleas jor (She clty and county of New York is declared by the NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OUTOBER 21, 1873—TRIPLE SHXET. of the State to be the County Court of this city id county (Laws of 1821, page 64, and Laws of 1826, chapter 265), and the first Judge is called the First Judge of the County Court. It cannot ve sup- that the Legislature intended to leave this city without the benefit of the act of 1860 in refer- ence to general assignments, considering that the city contains about one-third of the population of the State and has employed in it more capital Subject to the operation of the statute than in all the rest of the State. The Court has exercised jurisdiction under tne act for thirteen years, aud the maintenance of the as- signee’s position would iuvalidate every assign- ment made in this country since 1860, when the act took effect. The Judge also heid that the as- signee, by filing his bond and obtaining the ap- ow of a judge of this Court to the amount of the ond and the security offered, was estopped from denying the jurisdiction of the Court. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. The Clerk in Bankruptey and the Records. There 1s a book kept in the United States District Court in which is contained a list of bankrupts, voluntary and involuntary, filed from day to day. Ever since the Bankruptcy law went into opera- tion in June, 1867, the representatives of the press, in the discharge of their duty, have had access to this book until within the past two or three weeks, when the condition of affairs in Wall street has led the public to look out carefully for develop ments in that quarter, Yesterday a reporter ap- plied to the clerk im charge im the Bank- ruptcy Department for leave to examine the “book in question, as has been his wont for several years past. The clerk replied—“You cannot see it, Sir. Iam di- rected by the Clerk not to let the book be seen. If you desire to know about any particular case I Will show you the papers.’’ The Reporter ob- served—‘“I do not want to see any particular case. 1 desire to examine ine list to see what petitions have been filed;” and after making this answer to the clerk in charge he retired from the office. We believe that the book to which we have referred is as much a public record as any document or paper in the County Clerk’s or Register’s office, and if it 1s not, we should like to know for what purpose it iskept? We have hundreds of times seen re- porters and lawyers examining this list of bank- rupts, and we are quite at a loss to know the Treason why an inspection of itis now kept trom the reporters who, in Cate d to see it are not gratifying any idle curiosity, but acting in the in- terest of the great mercantile and commercial community of this city.

Getting a judgment is one thing and get- ting the money is another. Since then the Camden and Amboy Railroad has been leased to the Penn- syivania. Railroad Company tor $2,000,000 a year. It is alleged that $500,000, being one quarter’s rent, 1g now on deposit inthe Board of Commerce, and that the same is being used by the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company to pay two and a-hall per cent dividend to the stockholders, Mr. Lamb de- sites to attach this fund on account of the afore- mentioned judgment.

Sprague, the ex-City Treasurer, who 1s indicted on the charge of mal- feasance in office, was called yesterday morning. The court room was crowded by spectators, who expected that the trial would proceed. As soon as the case was called - Mr. D, P. Barnard, counsel for the defence, arose and said:—If the Court please, in the matter of Cortland A. Sprague, who pleaded to an indictment @ fortnight ago to-morrow, and which was set down ior trial to-day, I would state that 1 have made every exertion in my power that we should be ready this morning. This has been a matter involving an indictment of ninety counts and necessarily @ great amount of labor. I last week stipulated with the District Attorney that certain evidence, cailed secondary evidence, should ibe given by Mr. Warren. Having made this stipula- tion I called on Mr. Warren and engaged with him to furnish the information needed by us, Last Thursday morning I was much surprised by the announcement of a large detalcation in the office of the State Treasurer, and learned that Mr. War- ren had been sent for to make an investigation. That gentleman is now in Albany, and as he has no: yet completed the duties entrusted to him by me, and has, besides, a number of my papers in his possession, 1 am on that account unprepared to try the caseethis morning, and must ask for an journment. istrict Attorney Britton said:—I have nothing to say in opposition to what has been said. The statements are correct. Having been iniormed a day or two since of the present state of affairs, I came here this morning expecting this application, and shall make no opposition to it. I do not pro- pose to force any one to trial without affording a reasonable time for preparation. The only thing I can ask is that the Court wiil set the case down lor as early a day next term as possible. Judge Moore granted the motion for postpone- Ment and remarked:—This is a case which must necessarily involve long and complicated action, the indictment being one of unusual size, Counsel Jor the defence ought to have a reasonable time tor preparation. It is not a ease which can be got ready tn a day or two, There must be an examina- Uon of long accounts extending over years, The absence of Mr. Warren on | pvp duties is a fair reason for postponement. If there is no objection to the day I will name the 10th of November—the second Monday of the November term—and coun- sei will understand that it is noticed tor that day. The counsel then left the court room and the majority of the spectators dispersed, Sentenc The following prisoners pieaded guilty yesterday and were sentenced to the terms stated :— August Buckbardty grand larceny ;+ two years in the Penitentiary. Alfred St. Clair, forgery in the fourth degree; same sentence. j dati Whitman, false pretences; one day in ail. Cpe Clark, charged with burglary, was ac- quitted, . BEAL ESTATE, The market for the week opened quietly witha Supreme Court sale of a house and lot on Colum- bia street, of which particulars are given below, it being the only offering. Subjoined are also par- ticulars of @ foreclosure sale of lots on Central avenue and Birch street, Morrisania, Westchester county, held by J, Johnson, Jr., on Saturday, Mr. John McClave reports the sale, on Oxford place, Grand avenue and Sylvan avenue, Westches- ter county, near Jerome (formerly Central) ave- nue, of twenty-eight city lots at $500 each, being an aggregate of $14,000. These lots form @ portion of the ‘Poole te,” and were sold three years ago at $360 per lot. This gale is regarded a8 an evidence of values on and ni Jerome avenue—the great highway to Jerome Park.

THE FINANCIAL §PROBLEM. Continued Dulness in the Stock. Exchange. A Marionette Show, with the Wires Down. - Some Instructive Figures Explaining Why the Market Does Not Rally. Effect ot the Delay of Cable Advices. A Quiet but Firm Feeling in the Cotton and Produce Markets, GOLD HIGHER. Foreign Exchange Steady and Money Easier. A LONDON FAILURE. These are still days of mourning in Wall street. To those who have been accustomed to regard its markets as parts of the active, tireless, pulsating heart of our great financial system it is strange to see that system so surely recovering from recent shocks while the functional derangement in its palpitating centre continues, Yet such is the case. Outside of Wall street the country seems to have shaken off the incubus of panic and distrust that sent a shudder through the nation at one time and appeared the precursor of dire disaster. The Stock Exchange really in the present situation of affairs does not represent the country, either asa thermometer or barometer, which it once did, of existing or tending commercial conditions, but LIKE A MARIONETTE snow, after the performance is over and the wire-pullers have gone home, its figures that were erst so lively in their movements show no signs of vitality, and, unheeding of events passing before them, wait in unconsciousness some new imspiriting force. It is as well, perhaps, that it should be 80, aS long as the reason for it is clearly under- stood, and that this prostration of speculative feeling on the Stock Exchange does not proceed inherently from causes growing out of late events, but is simply—in the absence of an undue stimula- tion, because of the inability of those who fur- mished such stimulation to continne it, at the present time—returning to nominal values, To help this understanding the following table, without Specilying railroads, which might be invidious just now, is given :— TABLE SHOWING THE RELATION OF THE FUNDED AND FLOATING DEBT OF RAILROADS IN THE DIF- FERENT STATES T@ THE COST OF THE SAME AND TO THE CAPITAL STOCK. This table is based upon a total mileage o 67,323 miles of road, making official returns o operations during 1872. In classifying roads under ae heads, and so reaching the result given, the ad is assigned to that State in which the greater portion of the line runs:— Funded and Cost of Ratl- Floating road Equip- Devt. ment, dc.

Thus in the statement respecting the Vermont roads the cost of the Vermont Central is calculated on the basis of $50,418 per mile, the average cost of railroads in the New England States, In some few other cases of less importance the figures are likewise esti- mated from analogous information. In the return from Florida the figures are those only of the Pen- sacola and Louisville Railroad, no report being had of the Florida, or Jackson, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad, The main trunk Pacific roads—viz., the Union Pacific and Central Pacific—are not included in this statement. Taken altogether, however, it is sufficiently accurate to show the condition of the railroads of the United States in the relation of their nominal stock value with their bonded and eneral indebtedness to their actual cost. It is finpo nt as exhibiting A 8UM TOTAL OF OVER TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS THAT MAY PLACED TO THE AOCOUNT OF WATERED STOCK. For, inasmuch a8 the bonded and other debts constitute alien upon the roads, the stockholders being the owners, the actual interest of the latter is only the excess of the cost over such indebted- ness, justasthe interest which any real estate owner whose property is mortgaged has in such roperty is its value over and above the amount of he mortgage. This value is, of course, variable, based upon the income that may be derived from it; and so is railroad property increased tn value by increased capacity for earning: but, as tn the case Of the proper rental value oi the real property, this is determined in the open market, where no exceptional conditions of supply and demand exist, but only a fair return is sougnt for, by its estimated value, free of all encumbrances, the interest on the mortgage to be borne by the lessor and not be an additiopal charge upon the lessee; 80 also in the case of railroad property should the burden of its indebtedness be borne by the stockholders, the owners thereof, and the in- terest account substracted from the dividend ac- count, and not assessed upon shippers in the form of exorbitant freight charges, 8 is what con- stitutes extortion, and is justly complained of by the farmers of the West, but for whose necésstties no such iniquitous management could be sustained, The proper relation in this connection between Pit charges, interest account and dividends to stockholders, to Dring this vexed question wholly within the range of A PAIR MORALITY And a just medium as between shipper and carrier {8 a8 foliows:—The apportionment of freight charges (we include in the phrase all traffic, that is passengers as well as freight), 80 that the net earnings may be suMcient to pay the interest on the general indebtedness, provide for a sinking und and @ fair and reasonable dividend on an amount of stock equal to the difference between such debt and the cost of the road and equipment, to be distributed pro rata upon the nominal stock. ‘This would render innocuous, so far as anlopers are concerned, the practice of watering stock in- somuch that watered stock stock would be then at the expense of the stockholders, and would remove the temptation to so water stock. In the departure from true b principles. of economic administration and honest direction, as between the people who granted these franchises and the railroads that enjoy them, do we find a very ficient explanation of the prolonged dulness and ‘weakness on the Stock Exchange as the result of & panic 80 circumscribed in its effects, A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE of the day was the listless feeling of demoralization that seemed to settle upon the stock market when it was announced baud in the day that, owing to the land lines on this side being down, com- munication with London was interrupted. There being no leaders in the market here and no “cue” from “the prompt side,” everybody seemed at a loss what to do, and, ag the safest thing under the circumstances, did nothing. Later im the day this weak, facile feelin; among operators found its expression in a general decline, the market leaving oi at the lowest figures of the day. The subject of THE RESUMPIION OF CURRENCY PAYMENTS continues to form food jor discussion, and, it is pretty confidently expected, will be effected during the current week. here are many pressing rea- sons for the banks to strain a point to accomplish this result, even the sacrifice of some of the weaker banks to ensuing chances, THE ABSENCE OF LONDON TELEGRAMS, although less noticeable in its effect than on the Stock Exchange, created disturbance in all the markets. The cable has come to be so mucha part and parcel of the machinery of daily business transactions that the absence of cable udvices for @ day, or their delay even, is very severely felt. The London Economist in a recent number calls attention in connection with the recent panic here to the influence the cable has in regulating our daity exchanges and gives it the merit of being the means whereby great calamity growing out of such panic was avoided. England, it argues, was kept soe advised of the situation as it de- veloped new features, was able to furnish prompt relief, and to give timely notice of such action, and thus, with the action of the governors of the New York Stock Exchange, arrest the contagion of distrust that might have caused wide disaster and bring about a restoration of confidence, THE AFTERNOON CABLE ADVICES brought encouraging news coucerning the money market in London, to the effect that, notwith- standing the advance of the Bank of England rate to7 per cent, money was loaning in the open mar- Ket at 6 per cent on government securities. Later the rate was given in the open market for three months, without specification of collateral, at 6 7-16 per cent, or 9-16 less tuan the bank rate. IN COMMERIAL CIRCLES yesterday was a quiet day, owing to the cause above noted. The demand for wheat was only moderate, with holders firm for care on a limited supply. Flour was dull with a fair demand ior low grades. Good shipping extras were in demand and scarce. THE FEATURES OF THE MONETARY SITUATION were regarded as favorable to commercial deal- ings, money closing at 7 per cent. In the discount market there was a better inquiry reported, though best names command 15 to 18 per cent. Bank checks were at a nominal discount of 14 a 4% percent. A firmer feeling in respect to the gold foc which advanced to 108g, closing at 108%, helped export values. Foreign exchange was steady at 106% a 10634 lor sixty days’ sterling and 107% @ 1077¢ for short sight. REPORTED FAILURE, The failure of Kimber, Vivian & Co., of London, was reported early in the day, with liabilities Tang: ing all the way trom £750,000 to £1,000,000. Later in the cable advices fixed the liabilities at £36,000 and the assets at £10,000. “Ihe firm ts said to have been largely interested on the short side of the American market, but was unable to respond, A sharp decline in Pennsylvania in Philadelphia caused the report of a tailure there which was subsequenlty dented, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
