THE COURTS. Benoni Howard Sentenced to Five Years for Counterfeiting United States Stamps, Other Convictions and Sentences—Commirssion on Sales of Railroad Stocke—Payment of Claims Against the City Ordered—Docisions. Antonio Felipo was arrested yesterday as a de- serter from the Peruvian vessel Don Enrique, on the requisition of the Peruvian Consul, and taken before Commissioner Osborn, who committed him for examination on Monday next. Felipo has at- tached the ship tor wages, and it is understood that he will stoutiy contest the charge of desertion that nas been made against him, UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Case ‘of Benoni’ Howard—He is Sentenced to Five Years’ Imprisoment at Hard Labor. Judge Benedict sat yesterday in the United States Circuit Court room, No. 27 Chambers street, and proceeded with the despatch of criminal business. The Judge said with reference to the case of Benoni Howard, who had been convicted for coun- terfeiting match stamps, that a motion was made for a new trial. That motion must be denied. He had examined the case very carefully, and was entirely satisfied that no error had been committed in admitting the evidence regarding the Ives matches and the bill, which were the only points {n controversy. The Court therefore denied the motion, Mr. Huntingdon, with whom appeared Mr. Ben- jamin Blankman as counsel for defendant, How- ard, said he had @ motion to make for a postpone- ment of the sentence until there was an oppor. tunity for the full Court to sit and determine some Points upon the construction of the statute upon which the defendant had been convicted, He would like to have this question settled upon re- view belore the full Beuch. Judge Benedict observed that he would be glad to have the otherjudges present at any case tried in this Court, but he did not feel called upon to ask them himself, unless he was satisfied there were points of diMculty, in waich case be would be glad ‘of the assistance of Judges Woodrum and Blatch- ford. But m the cause under consideration he knew of no points which would justif oe in eee mse, to attend merely as a tavor ir. Huntingdon then made @ motion in arrest of joagmens, Stuting that there were thirteen counts in the indictment, each charging a different felony. The jury had not convicted on one count or on another, but rendered a general verdict of guilty; and if tne Court proceeded to pass sentence upon each of the counts in the indictment the result Would involve a supplemental conviction by the Court and not an actual conviction by the jury. In cases of felony there could not be a double convic- tion and a double felony. Mr. A. H. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attorney, was heard in repiy, and finally, alter much argument, it was decided that the sentence of the Court should be taken on the fourth count of the indictment, under which a sentence to the limtt of five years’ imprisonment at bard labor could be imposed, Mr. Huntingdon made an appeal to the Court for clemency to the defendant, remarking that the {oe had recommended hii to mercy; that he had ehaved patriotically during the war of the revel- lion; thas, in the State of lowa, when Howard was Boel} a regiment tor the defence of the Union, he contributed largely towards that opject; that he provided tor the support o! the jamilies of twelve volunteers going to the war; that, when some of these volunteers were Killed, Howard still continued his relief to those whom they had leit alter them until pensions coula be ob- tained from the government; that, at an expense Of $17,000, he sent arcists to the war to take por- traits of eminent generals, which portraits had be- come part of the art literature of the country; and that he had, upon the trial, received an excellent character from sir. Claflin and other gentlemen of lugh respectability in the city. ir. Purdy said that the deiendant had put the government to great expense in two trials. He com eet this 2 case that called fur full punish- me Mr. Huntingdon objected to the statement of the government counsel. It wasas much as to say that if a person charged with crime was to avail himself of all the privileges which the constitution conterred he was to be visited with severe punish- ment if he did not plead guilty. The suggestion was an improper one and ought not to have been m ie. Juage Benedict, adaressing the prisoner, said he had been convicteu of counterieiting @ proprietary match stainp, witb intent to defraud the govern- ment and his fellow citizens. He had been tried by an intelligent jury and careiully defended by counsel. The jury ound him guilty, and he (Judge Benedict) was bound to say that he concurred with the finding of the jury. The facts proved on the trial left no doubt on the mind of any intel- ligent person that the prisoner knowingly engaged in an effort tu defraud the government and the community by the making of lorged match stamps. The jury recommended him to mercy. He (Judge Benedict) had sought in vain in the evidence or in the facts for an: ng ae would justify such arecommendation. ‘Ihe prisoner was not prompted to the commission o1 this offence by want, nor en- ticed into it by designing men. He was not a dupe in the matter. He had entered into a deliberate plan for the purpose of fraud. He (Judge Bene- dict), however, paid attention to that recommen- dation of the jury, and the prisoner’s escape from the extreme limit of punishment provided by the statute was due to that recommendation. He had been unabie to find in the tacts proved orin the Temarks Of counsel anything that would justify him in inflicting any other than the extreme pen- alty of the law on the count on which the govern- ment had moved for sentence. Under the indict- menthe might have been punished for a much Jonger term; but, under the count on which sen- tence had been moved for, the judgment or the Court was that Howard be imprisoned for five years at hard labor in Kings County Penitentiary. ‘The Case of Oscar F. Wainwright—Con- viction and Sentence for Perjury. Oscar F. Wainwright, who had beengonvicted of perjury in regard to a “bogus bond,” and who has already deen in prison for eleven months, was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment and hard labor and to pay a fine of $1, sentence to be exe- cuted in Kings County Penitentiary. x Conspiracy. Aman named Goodwin, convicted of having con- spired with others to rob the Custom House of revenue stamps, and who has already endyred an imprisonment of seven months, was sentenced to six months’ incarceration, The Grand Jury.

COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Rather Costly Drinks. Before Judges Sherwood, Otterbourg and Murray. James Kelly was arraigned for assaulting Mrs. Mary Ann Ciuckin on the 10th of January last. Mrs. Cluckin Keeps & lager beer saloon at No. 314 East Thirty-second street, and on the day men- tioned Kelly and two others, after calling for drinks, refused to pay for them, She took a club from behind the bar and placed her back against the door, demanding payment beiore they went out. Kelly raised a chair to strike her, but one of his companions prevented him. Kelly seized the club and tried to wrench it frum her hand, in the struggle pulling Mrs, Cluckir out upon the walk, where she was thrown to the ground. Kelly was fined $10 py the Court, An Indignant Cuban. Santlago Valls, @ Cuban gentleman, was charged with assaulting Adolph Clausen, a shipbroker, re- siding at the Broadway Hotel. As was alleged, Mr. Clausen met Valls on the corner of Wall and Front streets on the 318t of December last, and Was struck by him tn the face twice. When Valls first approached the complainant ne asked him if he had made certain insulting remarks concerning him (Valls), Mr. Clausen answered abruptly, and Valls struck him, causing a blackened eye. The prisoner, when placed on the stand, testified that Clausen and he had boarded in the same house, and at the time of the Virginius ex- citemenot tuey had several discussions about the expedition. On these occasions Clausen usea in- suiting and oifensive remarks concerning the Cubans and their cause. Mr. Valls was naturally indignant, as his brother was on the steamer, and was shot by the Spaniards. He did not quarrel with Clausen then, out of respect to the family with whom they were boarding. Clausen left the not concluded their labors, and Judge Benedict observed that they were at liberty to retire and resume the discharge 01 their duties, The Court adjourned for two weeks, Commission on Sales of Railroad Shares. Judge Nathaniel Shipman sat yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, 41 Chambers street, to hear @ motion in the case of Clarke vs. Bushnell. This matter was tried some eight or ten days ago in this Court. It was an action to recover commission from the defendant on a sale of 100 shares of Union Pacific stock or their equivalent. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff received commussion from other parties in the transaction, and, having got his commission, was not entitied to receive it irom him, The Judge pared the jury that the law was that if aman recelved commission from both sides, or was to receive it, and that this was not known to both parties, te was not entitled to commission from either side. But if it was known to both both were entitled to the commission, and this was the only question the jury had to try. The jury found that it was known to both parties at the time the agreement was made, and their ver- dict was, accordingly, for the plainti. The motion argued yesterday in the cause was to show why the verdict should not be set aside as being against the evidence. Tho Judge reserved his decision, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Payment of a Fireman’s Widow and Court House Claims. Before Judge Lawrence. A peremptory mandamus was granted yesterday by Judge Lawrence on application of Mr. D. Ry Lyddy directing the Comptroller to pay $83 33 to Bridget Cersova, widow of James Cersova, lately employed ag fireman in the New Court House—a claim, it was stated, Mr. Green nad for over a year persistently refused to pay. The same counsel &lso obtained orders to show cause why writs of peremptory mandamus should not be granted cirecting the Connty Auditor to audit and the Comptroller to pay Mary Doyle, Frank Kenny, Margaret McCormick and Elizabeth Byrne their respective claims tor services as cleaners of t he New Court House. Decisions. By Judge Donohue.

Meyers va. Beach.—Security for costs must be in- creased to $2.00, house, and the day he met him in Wall street he demanded an explanation of his insulting remarks. The prisoner also alleged that on that occasion Clausen was very abusive, The Court fined Valls $20. Using a Steam" Engine Without ‘bicense, John Trageser was arraigned on a charge of using & steam boiler at the premises No. 427 West Twenty-sixth street, without, in accordance with the law, having obtained a license from the Police Department. His counsel moved ior a dismissal of the complaint, on the ground that it did not set forth that the person who run the engine was not provided wita a license and was employed by the defendant. The Court upheld the point raised and dismissed the complaint, discharging the prisoner, Gambling House Keeper Discharged. A colored man named Theodore Vick was charged with keeping a gambling house at No. 208 West Thirtieth street. Captain Mclivaine arrested him, and, finding a party of whites aud blacks piay- ing faro, seized the implements of gaming also. Counsel contended that the complaint did not state that the prisoner was the proprictor of the place, and as that alone was the offence upon which he Was arraigned, there was no charge to plead to. The Court acquiesced in the soundness of this no plea, or rather special pleading, and ordered the prisoner's discharge. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Morgan. Attempt to Pass a Forged Check. Frank P, Richmond, of Baltimore, was charged with attempting to pass a forged check for $580 on the banking house of the Manhattan Company, No. 40 Wall street. The check was presented on Friday last, signed in the name of Benjamin T. Martin, a gentleman doing business at No. 5 Broad street, and one of the depositors im the bank. The paying teller aiter a tiitie investigation discovered that it was a furgery, and called on Oficer Zidgate to arrest Richmond. He was taken to the Central Ofice, and ou the way he confessed that the signa- ture was not genuine. In the court room he pleaded poverty, and said that he and his wife were starving, and that he was formerly master of a vessel plying between Baltimore and City Point. sudg2 Morgan held bim in $2,000 bail to answer. Burglary in a Liquor Store. OMcer Brew, of the First precinct, was patrol- ling State street, about hall-past three yesterday morning, when he noticed a light in the liquor store of John Leonard, corner of Whitehall street. He watched the place for some time and saw the shadows of two persons moving about the store. Entering the store suddenly, he tound two men packing up liquors and cigars.’ They were arrested and brought to the station house, where they gave their names as John Moore and Henry Smith. Judge Morgan held them in $2,000 each. ‘West Street Pickpockets Held. John Collins and James Brennan were arrested on Friday afternoon, by Officer Timothy Jourdan, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, on the corner of Fulton and West streets, for picking pockets. The officer said that he had watcned them for a long time, saw them several times knock and jostle against people passing, at last he noticed both of them stumble aginst a man who was crossing the street, and one Of the two put his hand in the vest pocket of the person thus approacned. Officer Jourdan then took them in charge. Judge Morgan held them in $2,000 bail each. BROOKLYN COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Druggists and the Special Tax. Before Commissioner Winslow. Edward Hoffman, a druggist at Winfleld, L.L, was yesterday charged with selling Mquor without paying the special tax required bylaw. The ac- cused claimed that he did not sell liquor as a beve- rage, but merely whenever physicians’ prescrip- tions called for it. The prosecution claim that druggists are liable even under such circum- stances, and that they are also liable if they sell “bitters” containing spirituous liquors, It is charged that the defendant in this case did sell “bitters.” He was admitted to bail in $250, COURT CF OYER AND TERMINER.

The items of the alleged robberies are set forth in the indictments as follows :— June 2, 1872 “Captain Gtil is now in the Raymond street jatl, being unabie to find any one who will become his bondsman. He was visited after the presentation of the indictments yesterday by Mr. Keady, one of his counsel, who informed him of the action of the Grand Jury. The prisoner expected to be indicted and did not express any surprise when he was told that ten bills had been found against him, He stoutly protested that he was innocent, ‘Tne tudictments wera, on motion of the District Attorney, transferred to the Court of Sessiona, and Captain Cull will be arraigned there to-morrow to CITY COURT—SPECIAL TEAM.

CRIME IN NEW JERSEY. + George Rooke’s Jury Judicially Enlight- ened—The Essex County Grand Jury and the Newark Official ‘Irregulari- ties.” On Friday, in the Essex County Court, at Newark, George Rooke, the pugilist, was tried on a charge of having assaulted, in a most atrocious manner, one Bradshaw. The latter, who was captain of a target company, entered Rooke’s saloon one even- ing last fall. A row broke out, and Rooke, as alleged, laid open Bradshaw’s head with his own sword, inflicting a wound which for several days it was feared would prove fatal. Rooke was ar- rested and subsequently liberated on bail. The Grand Jury indicted him, and on Friday the trial came off, the evidence seeming conclusive that Rooke nearly killed the man. Yesterday, after having been out all night, the jury came in, desiring to be discharged, as they professed to be unable to agree upon a verdict. It seems out of the twelve there were ten stubborn men who would not agree with the other two that Rooke was innocent and should be acquitted, Judge Gifford asked them if there was any point of law or of evidence that they desired instructions on, They answered no—they were simply unable to agree. The Court then informed them gently and firmly that it would be in session until the 7th of next March, and would be ready at any time be- tween now and then to recetve their verdict, what- ever it might be. Back they were marched to their room in charge o1 a constable, and up to last evening the ten stubborn men had not changed their minds, THE GRAND JURY adjourned on Friday until to-morrow, hay- fog been ostensibly in session four weeks, but in reality only fourteen days, delays being occasioned by dilatory witnesses, For the last two weeks their labors, judg- ing from the character of the witnesses daily in at- tendance on them, Lave been chiefly coniined to the investigation of the charges against city oM- cials, which are understood to embrace specitic complaints against a number o! officials and others. The mouths of grand jurors are, of course, sealed tight as regards their proceedings; but the fact that City Auditor Dawes, with his books—the same which he flatly reiused authorized persons to investigate even when they were armed with the written order of the late Mayor—anda Joe Young, the Street Opening Commissioner, with his books, and divers other persons prominent in the recent offl- cial investigations, have been before the Grand Jury and been put through a course of questioning, 1s considered ample evidence that the oficial “ir- regularities” are being starred up in a manner that promises small consolation to the City Hall ring. Witnesses of intelligence and understand- ing who have been before the Grand Jury declare that they have placed it in possession of an abun- dance of clear, unequivocal evidence, such as, in their opinions, cannot fail to result in a batch of indictments a8 well as @ sweeping general pre- sencment, A PRACTIOAL SUGGESTION FOR THE POOR, To THE Eprtor OF THE HERALD:— Through the wide circulation of your valuable paper may I be allowed to make a suggestion to the various relief associations or guilds, of which there are so many in this large city, and yet whose means of doing good are so curtailed, it seems, by lack of means? Would it not be practicable tor some member of each association to solicit, in their own section of the city, at the doors of the wealthy citizens, that each matron should set aside each day some portion of food? It would not be missed in each house, and would amount to wi ‘would aftord a good meal a day for many families. Those who are livingin luxury and comfort, yet sur- rounded, even at their very doors, by the poor and dying, would by go doing, Were they not able or Willing to contribute money, reap the reward of Him who has promised that “he who giveth a cup of cold water in His name shall im no wise lose his reward.” M.S. He IMPORTANT NEWARK MUNIOIPAL MATTERS, Mayor Perry, of Newark, in a supplementary Message to the Common Council, states that the debt of the city is a trifle over $6,250,000, and that the assets, consisting of cash on hand, real estate, unpaid taxes and assessments, water works, Clin- ton Hill, &c., are $7,733,539, or nearly $1,500,000 more. “The embarrassment which is now ex- perienced,” says he, “is the need of cash to meet maturing liabilities. A policy of rigid retrench- ment and a deaf ear to the clamors for unneces- sary improvements will, in a short time, put the finances of the city on a firm and prosperous bagis."" The current expenses of the Board of Education for the year 1873 amounted to $187,653 57, or about $15 per capita, there being about 16,000 scholars in attendance; and the cry is, “Still the come.” More accommodations are demanded. Thirty-flve thousand dollars have been appro- priated to the Board of Education im advance of the tax levy. There is one point that the Mayor's message does not embrace—a most important point, too, in view of the recent defalcation in Jer- sey City. The bonds of the City Treasurer or the city of Newark are only $50,000, though, as he, ad- mitted some time ago himself, he has power to draw his check for $300,000, or even $1,000,000, ifs0 much were at the temporary credit of the city. ‘This is a matter that ought to be looked into with- out one day’s unnecessary delay, on the principle that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. At the Common Councti meeting on Friday night a resolution was passed appropriating nearly $1,000,000 to the Uounty Collector for tuxes due the county by the city for 1873. It is alleged, in this connection, that the greater part of this amount had already been paid over to the Collector with City Treasurer Stout’s checks some of which were as high as $100,000, and were not signed by the Mayor or any other officer ex- cept Stout. No warrant having been drawn tor them, the only record or account Kept of these tin- portant transactions, it is asserted, are simple memorandums in the City Treasurer's drawer. There is a movement to retrench city expenses by cutting down the hardest worked and poorest paid of the oficials—the policemen. Their pay now is only $2.75. No suggestion has been made to reduce the fat salaries of the high ofticers of the city government, A Citizen’s Reasons Why It Should Be Located in the Park. To THE Epitor or THE HERALD :— Asan old New Yorker I fully agree with “West Point” in to-day’s edition of your paper—viz., that we should have a Central Park Parade Ground; and no more convenient locality can be found than the one he suggests—Ceutral Park. North of the reservoir, or say between Ninety-sixth and 1101h streets, the egress and ingress is perfect already — All Saints’ Gate, at Ninety-sixth street and Central Park (Eighth) avenue, also at 100th and 110th streets. The marching columns through Ninety-sixth street (100 feet) to Morning Side (Ninth) avenue, up to Morning Side Park and returnto the Grand Central Park Parade Ground by way of 110th street (100 feet), Would present one Of the most splendid military pageants imaginable, This locality would be central, easy of access for citizens and soldiers by cars on Eighth, Ninth, Fourth, Madison and Third avenues, Central Park Ground is ready for almost immediate occupancy, without much cost; $2,000,000 will be saved in the tax on the city for ground, &c., at Harlem River. By all means give Us the Grand Contral Park Paraae Ground, ‘the people call for it, and our military heroes will re- echo the appeal, YORKER, Naw YoR«, Feb, 6, 1874, CORONERS’ CASES. The Recent Death of a Lunatic the Asylum—Pushed Down by Another Lunatic.

The lager beer dealers will hold a mass meeting on the 18th inst. to protest against the construc- tion put on the Excise law by the Boards of Police and Excise. The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor assisted 12,614 persons last month, The General Agent says that in the twelve years of his experience he hever knew of so much suifering in any one month as there was in January, 1874. The three men, Varley, Hurley and Davis, who ‘were arrested for stealing butter from different grocories in Brooklyn, have been identified as the parties who robbed the railroad depot at Jamaica of some $4,000 worth of property. The prisoners are in the Raymond Street Jail, and if not held for the butler robbery they will be sent tg Queens county. The Board of Audit held an executive session yes- terday morning. The accountant who is examin- ing the accounts of the Tax Collector's office was present and produced the books, The accountant and all the clerks in the office have been directed to impart no information to outsiders with regard to What transpires there. The Board declined to reveal the proceedings of their meeting yesterday, At the last meeting of the Brooklyn Board of Health a resolution was adopted directing the Sanitary Committee to make a thorough inspec- tion of the Raymond Street Jail. General Jourdan called attention to the importance of a thorough inspection, inasmuch as the jail building was con- stantly crowded, The Sanitary Committee con- sists of Dr. Hutchinson, who will make the inspec. tion this week and report the result thereof to the Board at its next meeting. Peter McElroy, a car driver, died at the Brook- lyn City Hospital yesterday from the effects of in- juries accidentally received the previous evening.

ASpringtleld despatch says suit has been brought against the Chicago and Alton Railroad by the Attorney General of the State for violations of the Railroad law. The Attorney General recites sey- eral cases in which more than fair and reasonable compensation has been charged py the company for passengers as weil as freight, and demands the legal damages. This is the first prosecution of the kind, and the result is looked for with great inter- est. ABOLITION OF JURORS’ FEES, To THE EpiroR OF THE HERALD:— It is awell settled principle that every citizen owes the State some service. Our militia receives no compensation, and even finds the pursuit of arms an expensive one; and why a juryman should receive pay I can’t conceive. Under the new law he is only obhged to serve half aterm, which, in reality, is only about ten days, and then only gets a dollar a case. Now our juries are supposed to be composed of our best and most reliable citizens, A workingian—who may be as good a citizen and as good an arbiter on points of evidence, to whom the dollar, When out of employment, might be of some service—js exciuded; and the presumption, therefore, follows that our jurymen do not require compensation on the ground of being poor. If they did one dollar would hardly compensate a business man for bis absence from business. ‘the evil of which I complain is to the litigants, It makes & lawsuit just $12 more expensive than it ought to be; and these $12 are a dead loss to a plain- uf who finds his judgment worthless on execution. The majority of suits brought in the Marie Court, say, are for collections ranging in amount from $100 to $1,000, Twelve doliars is very burdensome for each'case, assuming some business houses to have many collections to make, and more espe- cially when we take into consideration the fact that there are otner expenses to be borne.
