THE SIMMONS-DURYEA TRAGEDY. | Difficulty of Obtaining a Jury—The First | Panel Exhausted—Only Light ~-—_—_— Jurors Obtained. ‘ A eae | BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. | Bankruptcy Proceedings—Diepute as to Right of Burial—The Shearith Israel Congregation in the Courts—Professor Proctor’s Dia- mond Studs—Convictions and Sen- tences in the General Sessions. ‘fhe case of Bernhard Arrscn et al. vs. Thomas Murphy, ex-Cotlector of this port, is still at trial in the United States Circuit Court. ‘The question to be determined ts whether a quantity of oil Im- ported by the plaintiffs—and upon which the Col- lector Lmposed a duty of fifty per cent, on the ground that the article resembled a non-enume- rated essential 0:1 (oil of almonds) —is really the latter article, or whether tt is nitro-benzole, com- posed of nitric acid and benzone, on which the highest duty is forty cents a gallon. Yesterday counsel for the government objected to the protest which the plaintiffs had made against the payment of the duty, claiming that it was not properly or specifically drawn up; but Judge Shipman allowed the protest to be put in evidence, stating that the plaintiffs could not be expected to write the protest with all the technicality and precision of lawyers. ‘fhe case of the United States vs. Cousinery & Co, was concluded yesterday before Juage Blatch- ford, The question involved was whether a quan- tity of ell imported by the claimants was Olive oil or saiad oil, the former being liable to a duty of twenty-five cents a gallon and the latter toa duty of $1 @ galion, The jury found that the oll, as imported by the claimants, was olive oil, and not saled oll, This is virtually a verdict for the claimants, Some law points, however, have been raised in the case, and these will be argued imme- | diately before Judge Blatchford. Charles Stabl and Charles Walton were charged some time ago before Commissioner Shieids with Raving eamuggled 500 cigars into this port and with having offered them for sale without having been | properly stamped. Yesterday Stahl was discharged | on both accusations, The Commissioner held that | Walton had not committed the offence of smug- | gling, but decided that he must await the action of the Grand Jury on the accusation of having offered the cigar for sale in @ manner contrary to | jaw. Morris Silverman was yesterday charged be- fore Commissioner Osborn with having passed a | $50 counterfeit bill on Ignatz Steiner, keeper of a | store, No, 643 Third avenue, It appeared that Sil- verman got the bill from woman named Mary | Cronin in payment for some furs; that he took the nete without being aware of its counterfeit char- acter, and that he gave it to Steiner to get it | changed, The Commissioner on this state of facts discharged Silverman. The woman, Cronin, was | subsequently arrested. She said that she got the bill from one Johanna Crimmons, who stated she received it from a lady in Brooklyn. Both Cronin and Crimmons have been committed for examina- | tion. Samuel Stevens and David S. Rank, lawyers, | have been ordered by Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court, to show cause at the General Term why | their names should not be stricken from the roll of attorneys. The former is charged with giving | tilegal advice to a citent in regard to some real | estate transactions, and the latter with giving | similar advice to an Inspector of Elections, | In the Broadway widening suits against the city | Judge Van Brunt decided yesterday that the | property owners on Broadway, Seventh avenue, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh streets were en- titled to $160,000, the award as compensation for the widening, also a mortgage of $101,000, costs | and interest included. He censures Comptroller Green for refusing to pay. | Judge Lawrence yesterday confirmed the report of the Commissioners of Estimate and Assess- | ment for the extension of Lexington avenue to | Harlem River. He held that any iniormality or trregularity in the original appointment of the | Commissioners was covered by the act directing | the extension, | THE PARADE GROUND. | Judge Lawrence Will Give No Advice | to the Department of Public Parks—A | Puzzling Legal Conundrum. } That parade ground which was going to be laid out so fast on the upper end of the tsland, and | which those owning property in the neighborhood | of the locality selectea for the purpose were anx- ious should become un fait aecompli, but to which our citizen soldiers objected as being too far from their armories and involving too much serious | work in the way of marching, does not give very | peg yet lat ofsoeedy compietion. The act of | the Legisiature authorizing tue laying out of the Pa- | rade Ground left it with tue Department of Parks to | act in concert with the Commissioners of Awards and Estimate to be appointed by a Judge oi the Supreme Court. Judge Brady appointed Mesars, W. C. ‘traphagen, John McClave and William Seaver. such Commissioners, and ihe jocation was fixed pon, embracing cighty-two acres between tae Kingsbridge road and Huaricta River, and every- | ehing was, going on swimmingly, when suddenly the Park Commissioners passed a resolution that they would have nothing more to do with it, After this action by the Park Commissioners the Coim- missioners of Awards and Estimate asked the Court what they should do in the premises. Upon | this Judge Lawrence gave his decision yesterday in the following brief opiuion. Jt will be seen that he reiases to give any advice to the Department | of Public Parks. The legsi conundrum proposed | by the Commissioners oi Awards and Assesginents | still remains, thereiore, unanswered :— OPINION OF JUDGE LAWRENCE. Thave not been able to discover that there is any pre- | cedent or authority for the apylication which «aude by the Commissioners of © wad Assessment in | this proceeding. ‘The Deparn, Public Paras have | Tesolved to discontinue all. proceedings relative to the acquisition of the tit! lants ior & parade ground, | Claiming that they have power so to do under the pro visions of the acts o! 18/1 ant 167, (11. Laws of 1871, age 1.310; IL, Laws of 1857, page 4.75% section 6). And freCommissioncrs now call upon the Court to advise ‘of ay action on their part, whether madvan cine Valid. Th other words solution of disconrinuan ‘ourt if requested to substitute itself for the protes- the the 8 tht sional advisers of the Commissioners and to give a | Protessional opinion to the Commisioners upon their | opimon | plication Fights and duties, I fail to see that any which may be expressed by me upon this a will relieve the Commissioners trom their obli josed upon them by the acts atore- ter appear, in proceedings prop- | purpose, that the action of the | epartmentis unwarranted inlaw. On the other hand, uf such action is legal and proper, a decision now by me to the contrary would not in any Ww ind the Depart. ment of Parks nor preclude said department at any timo hereaster jrom contesting the legality of the aciion of the Commissioner, Such @ contest could be made upon the final motion to confirm the report, and an opinion rendered on this order to show cause Could not control the Court betore which sich moti wot be mide. | The Department > Parks ave not reguiariy betore me, the order to show cause having been h Corporation Counsel alone. do not deem it proper to express. an. Various questions discussed by the ng. | \ nion upen the nse! ou (he hears THE SIMMONS-DURYEA TRAGEDY. | ne Another Day Spent in a Jury Hunt= Eight Jurors Obtained. There’ was another large attendance at the Court of Over and Terminer yesterday to witness the further proceedings in the trial of John *E, Simmons for the alleged murder of Nicholas W. Duryea, The wife and daughter of the prisoner were in Court witi him, All the counsel were promptjy in their places, and Judge@Braay, with like promptitude, took his seat on the bench, Ali day was consumed in the efforts to complete the jury, and, excepting occasional diverting episodes tween the counsel, tue proceedings were neces- sariiy dry and tedious. Emanuel Steiger came noar passing the princi- | lenge. | the first } no! | owned @ plot in the burial death of the former his child, through Mr, Isaacs, , ai chatienge, but, after quite a loag examination, Rina he al objection wo capital punisuinent, and was excused. Jease Combs, who had once formed an opinion and afterwards changed Ut, Was accepted as @ third ynror. He ts a dealer in feed at Nos. 23 and 24 Pitt street. Benjamin Russak, of No. 44 Weat Fifty-second atrect, dealer in fancy furs, was accepted, with very Uttle exammation by either side, a% iourth uror. : John N. Bradiey Was excused on principal chal- James S. McIndo passed both challenges, but was challenged peremptorily by the defence. “Hugh G, Kelly had recently talked about the matter, and was excused. Thomas Hindley was excused by consent, bianuel Tt. Bolmar was excused lor sick- ness, | “Mr. Wiliam Ettinger had been on the United utes Grand Jury, through which he had learned immons’ and Duryea's employment, He had also been on one or two juries had rendered verdicts of guilty, Though he passed s Si | two challenges the defence rejected him, Leopold Wise was rejected tor his objections to | capital punishment. | Heary Vanholland, ex-produce dealer, residing at No. 217 East Twenty-third street, bad no feeling one way or the other, but was challenged per- emptorily by Mr. Pheips. Charles 5. Knight, baker, of No. 250 Hudson street, passed aii challenges and was sworn ib as fifth juror. Henry G, Park thought he had expressed a casual opinion about the time of the occurrence in aliu- sion to their business—that it was diamond cut dtamond—but at present bad no opinion about the case; his wife was in some way, he hardly knew how, connected with the Duryea family; he had a prejudice against the business in which Duryea and Simmons were engaged, but no personal bias maecase like thid against the prisoner. He was challenged peremptorily by the detence. Thomas Weidon, the hext man on the stand, had not read the matter in the papers, but yesterday some man asked him If he thought the prisoner would be hanged. He had answered him that he did not know. Mr. Phelps, here turning round and looking to- wards the counsel for the prisoner, Mr. Graiam, asked him why he looked there—why he did not look toward Mr. Peter Duryea? Mr. Phelps replied that he should look where he pieased, though there was nothing specially at- | tractive in that direction. Mr. Grabam retorted that he did not propose that the jury should be induenced against his clent by any such means, and, if tie thing was repeated, should call attention to Mr. Peter Duryea. Mr. Justice Brady here sald that there was no occasion for any altercation, Mr. Weldon, of No, 328 Kast Forty-ninth street, chosen ag the sixth juror, and Charles W. Plu- druggist, of No. 355 Madison street, as the seventh, Mr. Kustace nad no bias of any kind, and he was prompt'y accepted by both sides and sworn as the eighth juror, Marx Samter was peremptorily challenged by the defence, The panel being exhausted anotner panel of 100 was ordered, and then the Court adjourned. The jurors were sent to the Astor House in charge of omcers. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Bankraptcy Proceedings — Individual and Copartnership Debts — Decision by Judge Biatenford. Yesterday, in the matter of Walter P. Long and Albert B. Corey, bankrupts, Judge Blatchford ren- dered his decision. He says:— It 1s provided by section 36 of the Bankruptcy act that, here two or more persons who are partners in trade shall be adjudged bankrupt, either on the petition of sucu partuers or any one of them, or on the petition of any creditor of the partners, the joint stock and property ol the copart- hership, and also all the separate estate of each of the partners, shali be taken’’ on the warrant to be issued, and that “the net proceeds of the jomtstock | shall be appropriated to pay the creditors of the copartnership, and the net proceeds of the sepa- rate estate of each partner shall be appropriated to pay his separate creditors; and if there shall be any balance 01 the separate estate of any partner atter the payment of his separate debts such balance shall be adaed to the joint stock for the ment ol the joint creditors; and if there shall any balance of the joint stock after payment of the joint debts such balance shall be divided and ap- propriated to and among the separate estates of the several partners, a ‘ding to their respective right and interest therein and as it would have been ifthe partnership had been dissolved without: any bankruptcy, and the same so appropriated to the separate estate of each partner shall be applied to the payment.’’ ‘The Judge writes an exceedingly elaborate and lengthy decision, basing his views upon that por- tion of the Bankruptcy law stated above. He says the issues certified must be answered as follows:— The fund received by‘the assignee from tne re- | ceiver constitutes and is to be treated and distrib- uted a8 a part of the separate estate of Long, and, uf itis not partnership property, to be applied in instance to the payment of part- nership debts; and McFariane (a creditor of the bankrupts, as such copartners), in respect to the debts originally incurred by Wal- ter P. Long & Co., and afterwards assumed by Long, ts entitled to be admitted to the list of Long’s separate creditors and to sbare in divi- dends out of Long's separate estate equally with Elizabeth H. Long. Although the two individual es of Long, dated alter December 7, 1869, are embraced in the second proof of debt, they form po part of the $8,531 52 mentioned in the first proof of debt, and are not set forth in the state- ment of account annexed to the first proof of debt, and, as it does not appear that they were given for debts of the tiem, | have not regarded them as (u- | volved im the questions now determined. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Dispute as to Right of Burial, Belore Judge Barrett. A curious motion was argued yesterday in this Court, tt being an application for an injunction to prevent the disinterment of a cnild buried in the burial ground of the Jewish synagogue in Nine- teenth street, known asthe Congregation Shearith Israel, 1t seems that a brother of Ben Remo round, and after the his guardian, objected to the interment of a niece of the deceased, which the brother of the latter | bad optained permission from the congregation to bury there. After a prolonged argument, ex-Juage Cardozo appearing for the church and Mr. Morri- son in opposition, Judge Barrett took the papers, reserving lis decision. Special Notice to the Bar. Motions will not be postponed by the Court upon consent except when called in their regular order, A written consent to such postponement may ve filed with the Clerk either before or after twelve o’clock M. In the latter case the Clerk will notily | the Court upon the call, and parties need not at- tend tor that purpose. Decisions. By Judge Barrett.

Ferrin, the proprietor of the hotel, and Profes- }- sor Richard A, Proctor, the distinguished Engtish | astronomer, now on a vialt to this country, were defendants, It appeared on the trial that abous December 19 last the defendant, Professor Proc, tor, who was stopping at the Westminster, lost three diamond shirt studs. Shortly afterward the studs were returned to him by the platntiit, who received a liberal reward. On December 26, these facts hag | been reported to Mr, Ferrin, he made inquiry and caused the arrest of plaintiff! and one Peter McAlarney, another hall boy at the Hotel, The latver confessed the takiug ol the studs from Professor Proctor’s room and selling them to jaintifl. At the Speciat Sessions McAlarney was jdund gut'ty and sent to the House of Retuge and plaintiif was discharged. Plainudl’ then brought this action to recover $1,000 damages for slander and maitcious prosecution. Deteudant’s counsel set up probable cause for the arrest. The evidence showed that plaintif® kept the | Studs some three or four days after being informed that they were the property of Professor Proctor. Defendant's counsel moved for a nonsutt on the grounds—frst, that the action of tue defendants Was fully justified by the facts of the case; and, second, that there was full proot of probable cause. Motion granted and judgment for deiendant with $25 aiiowance, For plaintil, David Levy an Jos. Steinert; for defendant, S. A. and D. J. Noyes.

Schaerf is suing the Anges insurance Company for $7,000, the amount of a policy on a painting known as “fhe Triumph of Liberty,” which was destroyed by fire. On a previous trial the plaintiff got a verdict for that amount, but the Verdict was set aside at General Term as exces- sive, according to the evidence as to the value of the painting. The company claim that the painting is not of the alleged value, and that the policy-for $7,000 was procured through false representation, They further allege that plaintiff caused it to be injured in order to get the insurance. Case on, ART MATTERS, siseabicibigiinnnaiieh The Water-Color Exhibition—North and East Rooms. ‘The exhibition at the Academy of Design of the American Society of Painters tn Water Colors has now been open for @ sufliciently long time tora “pretty fair estimate to be made, by connoisseurs among the pablic, of its mertts and deiects, Nearly 600 drawings are displayed, in all, aud of these a very large proportion are by American artists, There is no question but that the exhibition, as a whole, is not only much better than that of last season, but better than that of any previons sea- gon, ‘This 18 admitting a good deal; for, though more than one season may be remembered which reflected little credit upon our artists, so far as their attempts in this line were converned, there have been shows in which the merit reached @ high degree ana which were a strong rebuttal to the frequent and severe disparagements that had been made, The attendance, too, has this year been very large; and, though the sales have not been a3 active as could be desired, that can be only too easily accounted for by. the general apathy that has reigned m all branches of business, aud particularly in those concerned with art, This morning we confine ourselves to the North and East rooms, and leave the corridor and the West Room to nother occasion. Taking the East Room as first in order, one of the first works that attract the eye is a large drawing by J. B. Hardy. It represents the tide comingin at Schaveningen, and is an unusually beautiful and truthful ex- pression of the atmospheric and other elemental facts of such a scene. ‘he dense impending walls of cloud, the uttering sea oirds, the sturdy conflict of breeze and brine, tbe curiously constructed and very, picturesque craft on the edge of the shore, the group of busy people, are all brought tnto harmony with each other with that powerful skill which*| # can make the salt aroma of the incoming tide realized through a sense alien to the sense of smell. ‘This work is by Whatiecy, and we have no doubt that the sailor is &@ good, pious sailor, the moral sailor whom we ail know in fiction and whom no- body ever knew in fact. Tnomas &akins has two excellent drawings in their way, one representing “The Pair Oared Race—John and Barney Biglin ‘Yurning the Stakes,” and the other “John Bigiin, the Sculler.”” ously represented, and the majority of his contri- butions evince all his characteristic merits and defects, Mr. Bellows dotes on the varieties of Englisn landscape life, He loves thatched cot- tages, quiet parsonages, old houses buried in moss or preserved in ivy; lonely fording places immared itm strouds of tender green. He would rather reproduce a lane in the Isle of Wight than study » loveliest wayside scene through the length and breadth of America, And yet he expresses his prejudices with such singular sweetness and ielic- ity that we do not Know he has ever given offence 10 any one that admires him. ef1is snatches of Eng- lish rara) life are so Juscions in tone, 80 metiow and aifectionate in feeling, so rich and seusuous in their,profusion of beautiful greens, that the place he bas established ts entirely uni in the East Room will be 1ound from his hand “A New England Cottage Door,” “Old Mill on the Thames,” “Shank- | wn, Isle of Wight,” “Brook Study,” “Biren,” “Bir- ling Church, Kent, England,” and “Study at Cape Ehzabeth;” and im the North. Room there are three others of his productions. Nearly ali these drawings are remarkgble for expressing nature tn an indolent and delicious mood—secluded and lux- ‘uriant spots Hong 4 cultivated oy the hand of man; yet where city life, with its temptations and pleasures, scems a garish dream, and the true life Is felt to be that of the hignly culcivated, but brood- ing, happy and ambiriontess Arcadian. But we are leaving little room tor others. Haif a dozen cathedrals and old houses by Dibdin will be sure to rivet the gaze of all. who love urchitec- tural drawing when employedyn preserving the sentiment of antiquity and sloWly crumbling de- cay. Marny has a fine Oriental scene, in which a lurid sky envelopes in mysterious shadows, tinged with a touch ot fire, a vast mound of earth, waeace may be dimly seen a troop of hurrying horsemen making for a city whose spires are faintly dis- cerned. This picture Is remarkable tor its hurry and taotion, its twilight alter-glow and its unmistakable | oriental sentiment. ‘Figure,’ by Sunonecti, is a rich bit of color, executed in his best style, the ject being & handsomely dressed lady angling in agarden pond, Mr, R. Swain Gifford’s fgg’? is very happily handled, The theme is ob- tained trom Sindbad the Sailor, and there is a very apt and suggestive Arabian Nignts magic in tue yreatinent and. in the spirit of tue landscape. The North Koom is equally protific of good things, Mrs. Murray gives usa “Spanish Boiero” in her best vein. This lady has had abundant opportunity of studyiug Spanish beauties of various conditions, and she has won that popularity in subjects of this Kind which intimate familiarity with them pression unite to confer. ‘thomas W. Marshall's “Interior at Barbison, France,” 18 very rich. The best picture we have ever seen from Mr. J.D, Smillie represents a lost bull, The subject con. tains a dash of humor, but the artist has well ex- pressed the bovine tragedy of the situation, and given to the iandscape # richness. of color which we have not observed in a 4 of his otner efforts. “Dignity in Servitude," by Tiffany, repres erect port and stald demeanor of an servant performing his duty in the splendid palace of the despot who owns him. “The Burning East,” by the same artist, th truth the voluptuous supineness, beneath slender palmet- toes, of w group Ol Kastern people. But we think | the sense of overpowering heath which suggested the titie of the work should have been more emphatically expressed. J. G. Brown's “Rustic Milliner” is in the old and happy vein with which. | all the world is familiar—a barelegged little girl bevier dressed, Bricher has several excellent marines ; va one or two not far below bis best, but netter ‘han what has until recently been his average. men of the dignity which a master can give to a very jowly theme. A cock, standing at daybreak on a dunghi, crows, Thatis the subject. The tment makes it almost poetical, and chanti- aleer becomes @ king, performing an act.ol cour- veay tothe sun.
