Ex-Senator Graham Convicted of Em- bezzlement and Remanded for Sen- tence, Yesterday the trial of ex-Senator William M. Graham, who was indicted for embezzling $173,000, the property of the Wallkill National Bank, of ‘which establishment he bad been president, was resumed in the United States Circuit Court, No. 27 Chambers street, before Judge Benedict and the tary. STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER'S COUNSEL—THE CASE LEFT TO THE COURT. Mr. William Fullerton, of counsei for the prisoner, said:—Your Honor, the duty which a lawyer owes to his cent is performed when he has secured for him a fair and impartial trial. He must do that for him at all hazards, even though in performance of such duty he may fall under the weight of Judicial displeasure. In my judgment, my client in this case has obtained a fair and impartial trial, and I now leave him in the hands of the Court Without addressing any observations to the jury. Mr. A. H. Purdy—1 would ask the Court to tell the jury to convict Mr. Graham if they are of the pinion that he has in an illegal manner taken irom the First National Bank $11,917 25, deposited there to the credit of the Walikill National Bank, to ef his cali loans in the Market savings Bank. ludge Benedict complied with this request, and 80 1uStructed the jury. The jury, without retiring from the court, found a VERDICT OF GUILTY against the defendant. Mr, Purdy informed the Court that he intended to move for sentence on one count Of the indict- ment only. The prisoner was then remanded for sentence, and removed from the court room in charge o1 & deputy marshal. AN OFFSHOOT OF THE LANGE CASE, Charge of Perjary. Mathew Richardson was yesterday put upon his trial im the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, on an indictment charging him With having committed perjury while being exam- imed as a witness for the defendant in the now well known and frequently reported case of the United States vs. Edward Lange, who was convicted at @ recent term of the Court for embezzling mailbags. Richardson is Mr. Lange’s coachman; and upon the trial of Lange he swore that he went on the hayloft with gome of the officers and informed them that several of the bags found there were bags which had been used for holding feed. The evidence of the mar- shais was the direct opposite of ttis—in fact, that mothing whatever of the kind took place. The mar- shais were now called, and they repeated the testi- mony they gave upon the Lange trial, Mr. Spencer, counsel Jor dejendant, stated to the Court taat some of the witnesses for tue defendant had ex- pressed a fear that il they were to go upon the Btand for Spied toe of controverting the evi- deuce of the officers the Assistant District Attor- ney, Mr. Purdy, would cause them to be taken into custody on a charge of perjury. This statement led to & Wordy Wariare between Mr. Purdy and Mr. Spencer, whicn was only terminated by the interposition of the Juuge, wuo ts remarkable tor the order with which he conducts the proceedings of his Court. Witnesses testified that Richardson bore an excellent character, and that the marshals did not swear, upon the trial of Lange, that Rich- ardson was uot With tiem upon’ the hay jo t until he had given his evidence as to the transaction and conversation which took place there. Mme. Demarest gave evidence to the effect that one of the marsoals who stated that Richardson was not with bun im the hay lolt, swore, m the case of Lange, that he (the Mar: ) had not been there himself. Mrs. Lange Was also examined as a wit- ness for the deience. ‘sie said that Richardson accompanied the Marshal to the stable. Thia stable ‘Was just under the hay loit. Toe further hearing Of the case Was adjourned till to-morrow. THE ESCAPE OF SHARKEY. Disagreement and Discharge of the Jury im the “Maggie” Jourdan-Snharkey CasemShe Is To Be Tried at the Jan- wary Term. At nal{-past two o’clock yesterday afternoon the jury in the case of “Maggie” Jourdan, who was tried in the General Sessions for aiding William J. Sharkey to escape {rom the Tombs, were called into court, they having been kept together during the night. The foreman stated to His Honor Re- corder Hackett that it was imposeibie for them to agree, Whereupon he discharged them from the further consideration of the case. It was under- stood that the jury stood at one time ten for con- viction and two for acquittal, and at another were equaily divided as to her guilt. This disagreement will necessitate @ second trial at the next term of the Court, which will ve held during the present month. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPEME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Mr. Kip’s Suit Against the Harlem Rail- road. Before Judge Barrett. What is known as the Kip suit against the Har- Jem Rallroad Company has been so often before the courts, and all its peculiar complications so thor- Oughiy discussed, that the facts are pretty famillar to the public. A brief régumé-of the facts is, how- ever, essential to an accurate understanding of the case as it now stands. In 1868 Mr. Elbert 8. Kip and his wie leasea to the Harlem road, for 21 years, the block between Forty-seventh and Forty- eighth streets and Fourth and Lexington avenues, This lease contained the usual covenant on the part of the railroad to surrender up quiet posses- sion of the premisgs at the exptration of the term to the lessors. In 1869 the Harlem road come. menced statutory proceedings vo secure the fee of the jand, These proceedings were re. sisted by the Kips, on the ground that thig Property was not necessary for the legin. Mate business of the Harlem road, and the first referee decided in their favor, His decisic ‘was, however, overruled by the courts, and the matter bemg taken to the Court of Appeals, thar Court armed the general right of the Hariem road to take the property on paying for it. In ‘that case, though the covenant was frequently descrived, it did not appear on the record. The Kips, thereupon, to raise the constitntional uestion, commenced a new suit, in which they Gistinetly ‘set up the covenant, afd that the act undes whieh the Bariem road undertakes $0 take ; Bishing of such certificates being produced, the NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1874, their property was passed after the lease. and ts theresore an act impairing @ contract, Aiter this complaint was served they served an amended complaint, setting up that the Harlem road had Jeased all its property, iranchises, &c., or 401 years to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, and had thereby virtually sur- rendered its public relations, and with them all the right to take property under the State's power ol eminent domain, Ademurrer was interpésed by the railroad com- =. and the demurrer was argued yesterday in hus Court; for the defendants claimed that if there was any thiflg im the piaintif’s case the ume had not yet come ior the assertion of their rights, there veing still some seven years to run before the covenant was to be executed; that the right ol eminent domain and the duty of keeping a con- tract were so distinct that the Company might as- sume two positions, and, if acting honestly, there could be no compiaint of the two diverse interests; that the mght of eminent domain was @ puolic right aud in its exercise the ques- tion was simply whether the use was for @ pub- he use, and that the Hariem road still main- tained its legal, und, tor many purposes, tts actual, existence; Is proceedings could not be attacked on that ground. On the other hand, it was argued that such @ complete transfer oF its functions de- stroyed its public character, and the proceediny bali completed should be abandoned, leaving their lessees to commence new proceedings if they pes: that these proceedings were a trespass, 1 not on the land, yet they were an immediate trespass on the right tn the land, and gave are rant for the immediate commencement of a suit, and that the constitutional question could not ve raised except 1D this way. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Barrett took the papers reserving tis decision. SUPREME COUsT—CHAMBERS, Decisions. By Judge Brady.

SUPERIOR COURT—GENERAL TERM. Winding Up the Business of the Year— Tribute to Chief Justice Barlow, the Retiring Judge—Important Batch of Decisions, All the Judges of the Superior Court, with the exception of Judge Sedgwick, who was unavoid- ably absent from the city on account of the illness of a brother, met in General Term yesterday to wind up the business of the year, Chief Justice Barlow presided, and with the same quiet dignity that has characterized him through the long term of his judictal career. A long batch of decisions was hauded to Mr. Wesley, the Clerk, to file, which | pene ee the regular routine of the day’s judicial abors, Judge Van Vorst suggested that this the last day of the year was the last ume they would sit on the bench with their able Chief Justice, On the retire- ment o! Chiet Justice Barlow from the Bench which he had graced with such dignity for twelve years, he desired an entry to be made on the minutes of the Court expressive of their appreciation of lis high worth and ability, and their grief at the sur- render 01 the relations existing between them. Judge Monell said that jie and his associates all concurred in this suggestion. | Chter Justice Barbour, spqking with an emotion } he could not suppress, expressed his sincere and | heartielt thanks for the kindly sentiments just ut- | tered. He simpry added that he had always en- deavored to do his duty, and that he parted with bis associates with great regret, The following was tue entry subsequently made on the minutes:— “In view of the retirement this day of Chief Jus- tice Barbour from this Court, of which he has been & member (or a period of 12 years, we, his associates, direct to be entered on the minutes this expres- sion of our appreciation of the Jaith{ut and upright Manner in which he has performed his pupiic duties, and our just estimate of the industry, ability and learning which has characterized lus Judicial life and lis uniform courtesy to his breth- Ten on the Bench.” Of the decisions only three are of speciai paodlic interest, and un abstract of the opimionsin the Cases is given below. The Guidet Street Paving Contract. A suit for $150,000, on a contract for street pay- ing, was brought by Charles Gutaet against the city. The defence was that the furnishing by the plainti® of the certificates of the inspectors ap- pointed by the Croton Board and of the Water Pur- veyor were, by the centract ¢onditions, precedent to the right to recover, and, no proof of the fur- case was dismissed, The case went to this Court on appeal. Judge Van Vorst delivered an opinion, concurred in by Judge Curtis, He holds that the Court below was right, and that the plaintif’s ude to payment depended as much on the production of the certificate trom the Water Purveyor to tne completion of the work in the manner set forth in the contract as from the Inspector, There is no jaw to dispense with the Water Purveyor’s certifi- cate. Judge Barbour dissented, holding that the defence had no merits, and it was impossible tor the piainud to produce the certificate, inasmuch as the inspector was withdrawn by the Croton Board and the platutif conid not periorm the con- ditions precedent by reason of the defendant's Dedligence to appoint the imspectors contemplated by the contract. A Question of Raised Checks. Some months ago Lunt Brothers gave to a stranger their check on the Marine National Bank for $25. Next day it was delivered to Derripp & Co, mm payment for gold, having been altered meantime to $4,679 96. Derripp & Co. required that it be certified, and the Marine Bank certified Mt as good and the goid was thereupon delivered. The check was endorsed by Derripp & Co. and De- posited in the National City Baus, and went through the Clearing House. Next aay the plain- | UMs jound the cneck had been raised, und they sued the defendants for recovery of tue money. A referee decided in favor of the plaintiffs, but on appeal to this Court an opinion was rendered by Judge Monell reversing that decision. He says Ubis case differs from all others of a similar char- acter, inastauch as tle check was altered betore being certitied, and Derripp & Co. paried with their gold on the iaich of that certification, Important Decision in an Insarance Case. The Lorillard Fire Insurance Company insured Gage Bros. & Rice to the amount of $15,000, and reinsured the writ in the Resolute Fire Insurance Company. The latter po.icy contained two clauses— one loss, if any, payable pro rata with the rcas- asured; the other reinsurance in case of loss to be settled in proportion as the sum reinsured shall bear to the whole sum covered by the reinsured company, In consequence of the Chicago fire the Lorillard Company haviog become tnsolvent, the Kesoiute claimed to be tlavie only to the extent of percentage paid to the creditors of the insvivent company. ‘ibe Generai Term holds that the rein- surer is bound to pay the sum which the original insurer was liable 40 pay, and was bound to pay even vevore tie reinsured had made any payment whatever ou the policy sured by it.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Cusick, “the Man Eater,” Convicted of a Felonious Assault and Sent to the State Prison tor Ten Years. Before Recorder Hackett, The first case tried yesterday was an indictment for felonious assault against James Cusick, who, on the 16th of December, struck Frank Clark on the head with aniron bar. It appeared from the testimony that the comp!ainant and the prisoner were prisoners in the Penitentiary, and while working in a gang on the day in question had an altercation which was quelled by tne keeper, As they were returning from work an hour aiterward Cusick seized a large tron bar and struck Clark on the head, knocking him senseless. The jury rendered a ver- aict of guilty Of an assault with intent to kill, and His Honor tne Recorder gave Cusick, who is & notorious character and known by the sobriquet of the “Man Eater,” the full penalty, whicn was 10 years in the State Prison at hard labor. The Notorious “Johnny the Greek” Sent to Sing Sing tor Five Years.

He waa charged with stealing a pockesbook containing 05 cents irom the person of Mr. Oliver S. Ackley on the afternoon of the 3d inst., while on @ Second avenue car at Peck slip. The evidence against “the Greek” was only circumstantial, which enabled his counsel, ex-Judge Beach, to make an ingenious argument to the jury, which, however, was unavail- ing. After a (ew moments’ deliberation they ren- dered a verdict of guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said :—Roach, I tried and sentenced you in June, 1569, tor picking the pocket of Mr. McCready, and sent you to the State Prison for three years. That term you served out, In June, 1872, I sent you for a similar offence, and I now sentence you to the State Prison tor tive years at hard labor.

James O'Neil readied guilty to petit larceny, the charge against him being that on the 18th of No- vember tie stole an overcoat valued at $35, the property of Edward Scheider, ‘These prisoners were each sent to the Peniten- tiary lor six months.

Tne books were found concealed on his person by Walker Pollard, a clerk in the employ of the firm. Kelly was arraigned betore Judge Bixby at the Tombs, and on coniessing his guilt was held in $1,000 bail to answer at General Sessions. Kelly, Who 184@ schvol teacher, pleaded poverty as the cause of his crime. The Simpson-Haas Alleged Conspiracy. The hearing in this case Was resumed yesterday before Justice Bixby, but little progress was made in consequence of the absence of one of the de- fendant’s counsel, Jt was incorrectly, but inad- vertently, stated in a previous report that there was @ counter charge of burglary against Mr. Simpson.

To rue Eprror or THE HERALD:— In your editortal recently you remark, “It is some- what remarkable that im every case of the dis- covery of these frauds upon the public revenues the defects o the laws are the excuses put in by the guilty parties.” Now, I do not think tt the least “remarkable,” and every importer kno’ Well the difficulties in passing goods through the Custom House and the doubts which constantly arise as to the real duties to be paid, Allow me to State one single case in my own experience. In 1865 my firm imported a package of goods (rom Engiand, of the value of about $350, They were entered regularly and the full amount of duties paid, and at the same rates that thousands of pack- ages had been assessed. ‘The goods were sold on the estimated cost (based on the duties exacted) and netted about profit. In 1870, five years aiterwards, we were notified by the Cullector that there was due $100, goid, on this package. Icalied at the Custom House for an explunation, assuring the clerk that we paid the established rate by Og- den's Table and all that was demanded, He ad mitted that and eatd they had dixcovered in the law (ten years bool that these goods came under the unenumerat ciasa and were subject to a higher rate than claimed at the time o1 importa- tion, I wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury, re- lating the facts, also telling him I was then in- solvent, and asked him, under the circum. stances, to remit this excess, I waited six weeks without rept » and then received another jetter from the lector, saying, unless paid within a specified time, it would be handed over to the District Attorney. Having Ludiow street Jail before our eyes, we paid $115 for guld and settled it, and, strange as it may appear, we received from the Secretary of the Treasury two days after an acknowledgment of the receipt of our letter (six weeks previously), saying he was iuiormed tnat the excess had been paid. He could not answer it in s1x Weeks, but as soon as he had wrung $100 in gold out of us he had time to reply, When government otticials manage the Custom House in this manner how are importers to know what the laws are? If parties who are supposed to know the laws are such ignoramuses why blame importers for ali the stupidity of the Custom House ? Under the various rulings of the Secre- tary and custom oiiicials the importer is invariably the sufferer. Ww.
