In the United States Circuit Court yesterday, be- fore Judge Benedict, the cae of Benoni Howard, Andieted for counterfeiting match stamps, was COn- tinued, Th@fects have been already very fully re- ported in the Hemaup. The whole of yesterday was taken up With the introduction of additional evidence on the part of the prosecution. As the trial is likely to last several days, counsel for the defence suggested that the Court should sit extra hours; but Judge Benedict declined, saying that from eleven to three o’clock each day was long enough, and he had no doubt the jury thought so too, The further hearing of the case was adjourned unti this morning, Yesterday John Fishback was brought before Commissioner Shicids and charged with passing 50 cent counterieit stamps on August Burbeck, No. 11 Orchard street, avd also on other persons in that neighborhood. The stamp is well executed upon an imitation of the well known fibre paper used in the printing of the genuine stamp, It ia alleged that, when the accused was arrested, ho denied having any otner money upon his person; but that a search resulted in showing he had about him several genuine $1 bills, The Commissioner held the accused for examination in default of $5,000 bail. The adjourned examination of W. E. Bradley, who is accused before Commissioner Betts of hav- ing committed acts of ;alleged fraudulent bank- ruptcy, had been set down for yesterday, but upon application of counse) for defendant it was again postponed. The case of Edward Lange, who was recently con- victed in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Benedict of embexzting mail bags, and sen- tenced to a term of imprisonment, will go on ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States, which has issued a writ of certiorari to bring up the whole proceedings. The Clerk of the United States Circuit Court ls now making up the record in this matter. SUPREME COUST—CHAMBERS. Books Supplied to the Register’s Office. Betore Judge Lawrence.

Daniels & Sweet, who are agents of a line of canal boats, occupied a portion of pier 4, Hast River, for offices, for many years, and paid the lessee of the pier, Frederick Cushman, $50 a Month, as they state, for services tn supcrintend- Ing the boats, but as he alleges for rent, In 1873 they refused to pay the $50 a month, and he took proceedings to dispossess them, and Judge Quinn, of the First District Court, granted the warrant of dispoageasion, on the ground that the relations of ’ landlord and tenant had been established between the parties. The case came up yesterday in this Court on appeal, and Mr. MeMauon argued for the appellants that the wharves are public thorough- fares, and no portion could be occupied for any purpose than loading and unloading, and no charge, except the statutory whariage, could legally be made; that even if there were a hiring by the parties, it was a nudam pactum by whieh the appellants should agree to pay anything more than the wharfage. On the other side it was ar- gued by Mr. Benedict that the Dongan charter gave lessees aright not only to receive wharfage but rent for use of the piers. The Court took the papers, reserving its decision, SUPERIOR CCURT—SPECIAL TERA. Decisions. By Cnhlef Justice Monell.

(From the Albany Argus, Jan, 15.) A most extraordinary case has, aiter ten years of varied sortunes through the courts, been at last flaally decided by the Commission of Appeals. It reads like one of the old English chancery eauses, There ate twenty-seven plaintifts and five defend- ante, but the titte i¢ known as William D. Mott and Others vs. Ervilla Richtmyer and Others.

The King Said To Be Fatally Diseased— The Aristocrats Anxious Concerning the Succession—Throne Liberalism and Personal Pioty~The Territorial Cession Question—American Poliey and Other Foreign Interests. Honowvny, Dec. 18, 1673, ‘The latest news from the King at Hawaii is not what coutd be wished. His health is not improved, and it is feared that he will not rally from nis pres- ent condition, From all I can learn his complaint isa pulmonary ove. AU of the chiefs and chief tainesses are with him, and he remains as cheerful and entertaining as ever. In some addresses which he has made to the people he has seemingly aimed to give them such advice as a father would to a family or children. His thoughts about the duties of ruler and subjects are said to be most liberal im thetr tendency, In an allusion to the past he said:—“Time was when you would nos dare to let your shadow fallos your King, while to-day we approach one anotier on terms of conft- dence and familiarity for the exchange of thoughts.” He was also pleased to refer to the labors of the American missionaries in a most gra- clous manner, setting forth the very beneficent re- sults of their work.

David Kalakana, whe ig next in rank as chief, aud decidedly the most popular with the people, hax recently published a letter, setting forth some thoughts on tho past, present and fture of this kingdom The aim of the letter is evidently to conciliate the for- eigners, Who cannot forgive the failure of the ces- sion movement, and to assure them of his devotion to the constitution and laws of the kingdom. Coming justat thts time the letter 1s most sig- nificant. It is thought that if Queen Dowager Emma will give up her claims the King will nomi- nate and proclaim Kalakana hig successor; other- wise he will let the people vote for the succession, in which case Kalakana is sure of an election.

When Kamohaincha If. piaced this United States country under the Protection of the in 1302, to save us from the threatened attack of a French man-of-war, the United States returned the country tots righttul King as soon as the trouble was thi over. From my knowledge of all free governments I know that the prosperity and independence ot the Hawaiian Islands depends on our showing to the world that we are a law ablatug people and regard our constl- tution and laws, which protect every man’s rights. Tt is my belief that the Hawatian people will never permit a violation of the Hawalian constitution and laws. If any reforms are needed there is a lawful wa; to make them, and that way will always be followed. We say to the world, as our neighbor the United States says, that we have always welcomed foreigners to ‘our shores. them come and bring with them money and skill tocerelon the resources of the country.

AN EXCITING MYSTERY IN NEW HAVEN. canara A Parallel to the Colvocoresses Case— Was Jesse Savage Murdered, or Did He KU Himselft—An Insurance Squabble for $5,000. The New Haven Unton of Wednesday states that in a few days the Superior Court will be engaged in solving a mystery which has in its horror been a source of trouble and fascination for thousands if inquiring minds for years. it seems that on October 1, 1870, Mr. Jesse Savage, having been to New York, returned thence by the steamboat, reaching New Haven in the early part of the evening. On his way toward his home in the south- ern part of the city he called, being then apparently quite in his right mind, ata saloon in Union street, where he drank one glass of ale, stopping only long enough for the purpose. Between eight and nine o’clock that ecyening, and when @ short dis- tance from his residence, occurred the dreadfat deed, in @ lane leading from Hill to Lafayette street, and which, had it been fully opened for travel, would have been @ part or continuation of Prince street, The unfortunate man received in the localtty above mentioned several wounds. His throat was cut, and there were cuts and stabs upon his body. Staggering to # house nearby his shocking condition was partially made known, and at Once the police were on the alert to tnd how and in what manner 80 dark a deed had been committed. Mr. Savage was taken to his bome. Here, and while in ‘ull possession of his faculties, he was visited by Captain William B, Catlin and by Detective D, L. McCoy, since deceased, who en- deavored to obtain from him some imformation as to by whom the wounds were inflicted. Herein lies the mystery—that the dying man, though when solicited for the truth, absolutely refused to assist the police in their investigations! Onane 4th day of October, following the tst, on which the wounds were received, Mr. Savage died, Then followed, in the ofMice of Acting Coroner— Charles R, Whedon—one of the most searching 1n- qnests, before an intelligent jury, that was ever had, ‘The result of the inquest jet it an open tion as to whether Mr. Savage had killed hi or had been murdered, and il murdered, whe he knew by whom, or whether Dis assailants were unknown tO him. it appears § that his life was insured for the benefit of bis wife—Fanny E. Sayage—in the Traveller's Ac- cident Insurance Company, of Hartiord, of which company Mr. Batterson ts President. Public opinion at the time Of the Inquest Was divided as to the question of suicide or murder, and the divi- sion in Opinion remains to this day. Now it is held by the applicants tor payment of the $6,000 that Mr. Savage was certainly the victim of a foul crime, not commitied by himself, and the cxperts and agents of the insurance company hold that he Killed himself, A singular feature of the matter is that Captain Catlin, as bright a police officer as ever the city has employed, and Detective McCoy, certainly a most sensible and sagactous man, formed diiferent theories a8 to the cause of death, We are not posi- tively assared of the truth of thts statement, how- ever, for Captain Catlin (at present serving as a patrolman) has been always reticent when con- versed with by reporters, and no one can as yet tell what his testimony will be when the case shall be tried. McCoy—we write from only a general recoliec- tion of what shortly before bis death we uuder> stood him to have belleved—assumed that Mr. Savage had married his second wite without hav- ing first informed her of the existence of a son by his first marriage; that this son was what is termed a hard case—way ward and of low associn- tione—and a constant <ax upon his father’s purse and patience, always threatening, when his de- mands ior money were made, to expose to Mrs. Savage, the widow who claims this tpsurance money, the concealment which had been entered upon by her husband; that a day or two before the infliction of the wounds young Savage, by way of menace aud persuasion, enteredga horse car im which were Mr. and Mrs, Savage or Mra, Savage alone (we for- get about this part of it) and rode a short distance; that on the night when the tragedy occurred young Savage, in company with two young desperadoes, intercepted his father at the place where the wounds were given and made a de- mand for money, woich was met by a denial and a positive reiusal to give him any; that the son then committed an assault for the purpose of robbery, and while engaged in deiending himself Mr. Sav- age Was attacked by young Savage's two compan- fons, one of whom, witha dirk knife, murdered the man, Were this any iing Uke the lact one rea- fon for the silence of Mr. Savage as to how his wounds were received would be apparent. The police secured @ knife and 8 common cloth cap with @ red leather lin near the scene, and av- Werenee of the ground at the spot indicate that here bad been Tuggie. On the other hand the insurance company claim to have d and substantial reasons not pay: ing the 000. And, in shis connection, it isa notable matter that while this struggle << lace, if it did take place, no cries of alarm or 4 ress were uttered, and had they been uttered, Owing to tho contiguity of different persons, they must bave been heard, The company have en- tered careially into a full Investigation of the sub- lect, and say they aro morally sure that Mr. Sav- e Was hot murdered. ‘That he wea, GaDArceneen ut thas time appears c \.
