THE COURTS. The Tenth National Bank Case---Ap- plication for a Mandamus. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. Examinations in Bankruptey—Alleged Forged Pay Rolls—The Fourth Avenue Im- Provement—Arson Case—Ex-Deputy Sheriff Conklin Sent to Sing Sing for Five Years The case of the Brewers’ Insurance Company of America vs, Henry Claussen, Jr,, was brought to a close yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman. The action was brought to recover from the defendant the sum of $2,500 88 a first cali on @ subscription of $10,000. The de- fence was that the condition on which the sub- scription was made had not been falfilled by the plaintiffs, and for this reason the defendant re- fused to pay the call, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs. ‘The United States Circuit Court for the transac- tion of civil jury business closed yesterday, and ‘Mr. Nathaniel Shipman, District Judge for the dis- trict of Connecticut, who has been presiding over this branch of our Circuit Court, has just returned to his own district. Judge Shipman. it will be re- membered, was recently appointed District Judge, and the term just closed is the first he has held in this city. He has been sitting here several weeks, and has disposed of a great many important suits im & manner satisfactory to the government and to litigants. He bas passed upon some new and very important questions in revenue law involving large amounts of money. Judge Shipman will re- turn to this city and hold another term of the Clr- cuit Court some time in the summer. Yesterday, in the United States District Court, the matter of the United States vs. 377 watch Movements, worth about $20,000, claimed by Strasburger & Adler, was called on. The watch movements had been seized in August of last year, on the ground that they infringed upon the trade marks and names of American manufacturers. Mr. Ethan Allen, counsel for claimants, said he was ready to go on, and insisted on a trial. The government counsel stated that they did not be- Neve they had evidence upon which to go to trial. Mr, Allen then moved to dismiss the proceedings against Strasburger & Adler, on the ground that there was no evidence to sustain the allegations against them. Judge Blatchford granted the motion. The result of this will be to reatore the property to the claimants. THE TENTH NATIONAL BANK, Argument on the Application for = Man- damus Against the Board of Appartion- ment—Hoth Sides of the Story, with Some Flat Contradictions. ‘The cage of the Tenth National Bank, and which ‘promises soon of being worthy of being catalogued in the class of irrepressible cases, came up again Yesterday before Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court Chambers. Forming the basis of the liiga- tion is an application on behalf of the bank for & peremptory mandamus against the Board of Apportionment to compel it to issue bonds to pay $252,000 on acconnt of alleged ad- vances by the Court to the new Court House Com- missioners, As heretofore the Court was repre- sented by ex-Judges Edwards and Davis ana H. H. Anderson, and the Board of Apportionment by ex- Judge Porter and John 8, Strahan, The fusilade of affidavits seems to have come to an end, probably |" from exhaustion of ammunition. Two stray shots, however, were fred from the Comptroller's bat- tery, in the shape of two affidavits, one from Deputy Oomptroiler Storrs, setting forth that the Tenth Nations! Bank was Revert designated as a depository bank to the city and county departments undor the statute of 1866, and the other from Mr. Tatntor, that the bills referred to by Mr.- Palmer, the President of the bank, were never submitted to the Board of Supervisors. Ir, Edwards asked, with an evident look of sur- prise, whether it was denied that the bank was ever chosen as one of the city depositories. Mr. Stanton said he denied 1t, so far as the de- partments were concerned. ARGUMENT FOR THR BANK. Mr. Edwaras now proceeded to ue at length the bank side of the question, and giving the rea- sons why the mandamus asked {or should not be granted. The claim, he insisted, was a periectiy Valid one, the advances by the bank to the New Court House Commissioners having, as stated in their affidavits, been made in good faith, He tooc up the answers to these affidavits, Tne great bur- den of the counter affidavite was that Mr. Green could obtain no information as to the claim from the bank. The fact, on the contrary, was, that he himself wrote to Mr. Green offering to show him the documents, The Comptrolier’s first answer was that he had no time then, Again he wrote to him inviting him to come at his leisure. To this Mr. Green answered that the vouchers for the $500,000 advance, of which the $242,000 now claimed is the balance, should be laced in his hands for examination. This could not done, but an offer was made that counsel would Wait upon him any time he appointed, and let him examine the vouchers, To this Mr. Green never made any reply. “This Taintor,” as he called Mr. Taintor, took very good care not to go near him for iniormation. he Comptroller knew very ell that these documents were in his hands gnd that he was ready to exhivit them to him. Two other offers were also made to produce the documents—once when application was made lor payment to the Board of Apportionment, and once before the feferee, and yet the Comptroiler’s answer was that ‘he had been allowed no opportunity of ascertaining the particulars of these aavances, Taintor made affidavit that the advances were made to Inger- Boll personally. There was not a word of proo: of this statement. The proof was that the advances Were made to Ingersoll on his checks as treasurer, With regard co the affidavit of Mr. Storrs, that the Commissioners of the New Court House were not county officers, the statement, he insisted, was un- true, and the General Term #0 decided the ques- tion. Even the affidavit of Nortqn, brought forward for sensational purposes, proves that they were county officers. Green swears that “the Finance Department contains no records o1 these pre- tended advances.”’ As to this, there were $117,000 advanced to the paymaster of the Finance De- partment, and by him paid out. If the Comptroller Saw fit so to conduct the department that he has no record of such sums, that was no,reason wiy the bank shoulu be defeated in its present claim. Again, writing to Mr. Taintor, he said that the latter’s affidavit that he applied sor iniormation in regard to these advances and was reiused was contradicted joint blank by Mr. Palmer a Mr. ield. The statement that Tweed and Connolly were directors’ of tne bank was, he said, a slander dragged in where it had no business, by way of argument that, there- fore, the bank could not have any honest claim to the money now demanded. He referred again to the affidavit of “that fugitive from justice, Mike Norvon,"’ as he now characterized the absent ex- Senator; he asked i! the Board of Apportionment ‘wanted to save the county $242,000 at the expense of the bank, or to make political capital, or to cover the remissness on the part of officers of the Finance Department ? REPLY OF MR. STRAHAN, An extended reply was made by Mr. Strahan. He began with reciting the leading points of the controversy and insisted that the facts clearly show that there was no substantial, solid basis for the present claim, He reviewed at length the Statutes creating the New Court House Commis- sioners and settiug forth their duties. No possivie Power, he insisted, was given them to obtain ad- nees of money in the manner alleged, therefore, if such advances were he claimed the county could be no . wise responsiole for their repayment, He cited a large number of cases up- holding, as he insisted, this view of the case. The gist of nis argument was, first, that there was no Valid claim against the county on the part o! the ik, because neither of the acts of 1870 and 1871, the only acta relating to the Commissioners uf the Court House, gave them the to borrow money or to charge the credit of the county in any This power was to complete the Court House out of moneys given them by the Comptroller, Nor Was there any legisiative confirmation of any loaning by them. Chapter 901 the Laws ot 1872, Which was relied on as doing so, did not under- take to legalize illegal loans, but was at any rate | Unconstitutional, as was also chapter 20, which Was an amendment to it, because, being @ local | Dill, it Purported to deal with two distinct sud. jects—the debts of the city and the debts of the | county—a joinder of subjects expressly orbidden | by the constitution. His second point was that, Supposing these acts constitutinal, and wa pelt J of ali actual loans by bonds to th Partments, still the bank shoula not havi & peremptory mandamus, The application | as in the nature of a murrer to | the return admitting its facts to be true, but Claiming that in spite of them ti bank was z NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1874-—TRIPLE SHEET. missioners, that Mr, Ingersoll, their treasurer, ‘was never authorized to borrow any moneys, and that the commissioners never ratified any borrow. ing by Mr. Ingersoil, and never held @ meeting at whieh they could have done so, If these facts were admitted ‘here could be no loan to repay, under chapter 9 If they were in doubt it was matter for an alternative mandamus, to be tried regularly belore the Court, and not in the present unsatis- factory method by aiidavits. After a few remarks by Judge Porter the hearing of the further argument was postponed till eleven o'clock this morning. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Examination of a Bankrupt After He Has Obtained His Discharge. Yesterday Judge Woodruff rendered a decision im the case of Nathaniel Dote, lately a bankrupt. On the 25th of June, 1807, Dole filed a voluntary pe- tition in bankruptcy, and on the 27th of the same Month was adjudicated a bankrupt. Isaac hi. An- druss was elected ghee on the 12th of October, 1867, and thereupon an assignment of the bank- rupt’s estate was made to him. Dole obtained his discharge, which was filed on the th of January, 1868 On the 27th of November, 1872, on the petition of the assignee and the affidavits of G. W. Lockwood, the District Court made an order requiring Vole to ap- pear before John Fitch, Register in Bankruptcy, On the 9th of December, 1872, for the purpose of submitting, under section 26 of the act, to an ex- amination in regard to the bankruptcy proceed- ings had against him, Dole put in specitie objec- tions to the proposed examination, aud on a certi- ficate haying been made to the court, Judge Blatchford overruled most of the objections, and the proceedings were Gontinued before the Keg- ister, An appeal having been taken to the Circuit Court, Judge Woodruff considered the matter, and yesterday filed @ long and eiaborately writ- ten opinion. ‘The substance of the opinion is this :—He says it seems extraordinary if Congress intended that a debtor should continue subject to the power of the Court aiter his discharge was ranted and his liability for his debts had ceased. he latitude said to be given to the power of sum- mary examination would tend to great abuse, against which it would be dificult, if not impos- sible, for the Court sufficiently to guard, and the abuse of the proceeding, to great personal incon- venience, oppression, and even to extortion. This would be # very great evil. The sudge comes to the conclusion that the order for the examination ot Dole was PAROLE nay Made and was without jurisdiction. 6 proceedings must be diamiased. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Alleged Forged Pay Rolls—Phetographs ot Papers in Existence Not Admitted in Evidence. The case of the United States vs. Louis Messman, First Lieutenant Company B, New York Volun- teers, was commenced yesterday before Judge Blatchford. The action was brought to recover $253 79 on the following charge :—Mr, Messman, on the 20th of July, 1864, presented bis pay rolls ior the months of January and February, 1864, and upon the presentation of that paper received bee 79, Ivis charged by the government that on larch 18, 1864, he had received his pay for those e@ntitied to thie writ, In this case darth shat there Was no Money loane to the oomne months, and the inference raised by the govern- ment was that he had obtained double pay. Messrs. Yard and Furlong, counsel for the defence, set up that one of the puy rolis was a forgery. The gov- ernment had sent on photographic copies of those ay rolls purporting to have oeen signed by Mr. lessman. Mr. Simons, United States Assistant District Attorney, Offerea to put those photo- Sraptle copies in evidence, but Judge Blatchford leclined to accede to the offer, saying that as the deience was that one of these pay rolis was a forgery, counsel for the government must put in the originals, Mr. Simons replied that the Court of Common Pleas, in @ case of this kind, nad de- cided that where it was set up that a paper was a forgery, @ photographic copy of it could be re- ceived in evidence. Judge Blatchford—I am not bound by the deci- sion ol the Court of Common Pleas, and I shall not concur in its decision. ‘To admit in evidence a photographic copy of a payroll would be acting contrary to well established rules of evidence—in fact, 1t would be monstrous. yetponed unl he could procure he’ original Daye 8 in 0 rocure the o: - Polls from Washington. ‘oe SUPREME COUR(—SPECIAL TERM, Decision. ie Judge Van Brunt, St. Patrick’s Mutnal Alliance and Benevolent vs. St. Patrick’s Mutual Alliance As- sociation et al,—Oomplaint dismissed, with costs.

About this time Rudiger was thrown into bank: Tuptcy, and the fixtures and materiais in juestion, with other property, passed into the hands of the defendant as assignee, by whom they were sold, notwithstanding plaintit’s protest. Theresore this action. In his original answer the delendant did not set up his office of assignee, but ‘Was allowed to so amend on the trial, It was Claimed by him that this transfer to Rudi- ger vested the title absolutely in him, and that the Property was properly sold with the bankrupt's Other effects, ‘Testimony was also offered to show that Rudiger had turned out pianos tor the plain- tu? at the rate stipulated (one per week) for some weeks, and that it was by reason of piaintitr’s failure to take them away that work was stopped, The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Trial of August Reinhardt for Arson in the First Degree—Summing Up of Coumsel=The Recorder's Charge=The dury Locked Up tor the Night. Beiore Recorder Hackett, The trial of August Reinharat, charged with wilfully setting fire to his apartments at No, 124 Stanton street, on the 19th of September last, was resumed yesterday, August Engler, who was on the stand the previous aiternoon, was examined at great length and cross-examined by defendant's couns ‘The accused was told by Mr. Engler that he beileved the fi cendiary, to which he replied that he did not know anything about it; that some of his enemics might have done it; that that nignt the lamp was burning on the mantelpiece and the lamp exploded setting fire to the closet. The wit- Ness stated that there were no indications that the lamp exploded, After that Reinhardt fe wid pot think the fire came from the la 8 must have come irom the stovepipe, ‘'assel; Loughlin vs. Loughlin; Platt vs, Van | to be the work of an in- | said that after the fire he visited Reinhardt at his | lager beer saloon in Delancey street for the pur- pose of effecting a settlement of his claim for loss afid damage by fire of $1,400, made of the German- American Fire Insurance Company, and that if he (Reinhardt) was ready to accept $200 or $300 he was willing to talk to him, Reinhardt became enraged aud threw a lager beer glass at bim, Oiticer Reinisch described the dimensions of the closet where the fire way overed, and pointed out on the model where the kerosene oil was found on the floor leading to the door of the adioining bedroom where the other fire was discovered, This closed the case for the prosecution, and, waiving Any formal opening, Mr, Hummel, for the defence, called Samuel Hirsch, a lawyer, to prove that Reinhardt employed him to prosecute his claim against the insurance company. His Honor excluded the testimony. Elias Selig, Julius Rosenhein, Julius Wallenstein and the accused were sworn to establish an alibi, they swearing tha! they were ata lager beer saloon in Delancey street on the night of the fire, between ten and eleven o’clock, but the testimony as to the exact time was some- What indefinite and did not necessarily contradict Mrs. Lovell, who positively identified Keinhardt as the person wuo leit is premises a few minutes belore the fire. A witness named Goldberg swore that he was in the room of the prisoner on the evening of the fire and saw a large quantity of cigars, silk dresses, yentlemen’s clothing and other property. Reinhardt said he knew nothing about the origin of the fire, and the first intimation he had gi it was when he wasin Mr. Biee’s saloon, He was thoroughly cross-examined by Mr. Hollins, who brought out the tact that he was arrested jor de- trauding the government by manulacturing cigars without a license, and that ue leit Chicago because of inability to pay hia creditors, He admitted that he presented @ proof of loss to the insurance com- pany, claiming that he had lost $1,400 worth of weuring apparel. Several witnesses were called to establish tie good character of the defendant, all of whom sald they had only known him about a year. Mr. Hummel then addressed the jury in behalf of the accused, pointing out the salient points of the testimony and claiming that his cent was in- nocent of the terrible crime charged against him District Attorney Kellins joliowed, and claimed that the evidence pointed overwhelmingly to the guilt of Reinhardt, and that his motive in risking the lives of 80 many human beings was to receive @ Nictitious claim of loss. Recorder Hackett, in charging the jury, said that the indictment contained two counts—the first charging the prisoner with having, at nighttime, wilfully set fire to the dwelling house of Edward Stemmler, in which there were then some human beings. The second count charges:—‘Kvery per- son who shall wilfully burn any building, or any goods, wares and merchandise, or other chattels, which shail be at the time insured against loss or | damage by fire, with intent to prejudice such in- surer (the German-American Association), shall be adjudged guilty of arson in the third degree.” ‘To convict of the charge in the first count it must have been and has been shown—first, that whe premises occupied by the prisoner in the second story rear rooms oi No. 124 Stanton street were on fire during the nighttime; second, it must have been and has been satisfactorily shown that the premises were at that time occupied as a dwelling house and occupied by some human be- ings. ‘The next and one oj the important questions to be decided by you is, Was the fire an accidental one or Was it maliciously caused by some person or persons? Can you reasonably get at the iact, from @ consideration of ths entire testimony, that the fire was Lea accidental, or iias it been satisfactorily shown to you that the fire was originated by the purpose and 101 of some person desiguedly ? His Honor read the testimony of Mrs, Loveil, wno poattively identified Khemhardt as the man whom she saw leave the premises shortly belore the fire, which, if believed, would tend strongly to show the guilt of the accused. In conclusion the Recorder said that it was in the power of the jury to conyict ofarson in the third degree, and that all doubts were the property of the accused. The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict ata quarter pastfour o’clock, and, not having agreed at a late hour, were locked up for the night. The Gold Certificate je—Ex-Sheriff Conklin Sent to the State Prison for Five Xears. William Conklin, who was tried and convicted last week of participating in robbing Mr. Craft of three $5,000 gold certificates, outside of Delmon- 1co’s saloon, in December lust, was arraigned for sentence. His counsel intimated that he was tak- ing steps to appeal the case to a higher Court, and had nothing more to say except to leave the mat- ter with the Oourt, The Recorder sentenced Conklin to the State Prison for five years, TOMBS POLICE COURT.

Jennings, of No. 33 Howard street, presented to the paying teller of the Importers and Traders’ National Bank, corner of Broadway and Murray street, a check for $200, purporting to have been signed by Mr. Jennings, and made payable to “A. G.J.” or bearer. M hunt, the paying teller, knowing the young man Somerville was in Mr. Jennings’ employ, and that the latter was one of the bank’s depositors, and supposing the signatures to be genuine, readily cashed the check.

Before Judge Tappen, Edward Bissell, formerly a purser in the navy, has brought suit against Catharine Spratto and others to restrain them from collecting the pro- ceeds of a judgment in their favor made by the Mexican Claims Commission, alleging that there is @ conspiracy to deiraud him out of his interest in the judgment, amounting to one-half the amount.

The defendants deny the charge of conspiracy and say that the plaintit did not carry out the terms of the attorneysmp, that his right to one- half the claim was never recognized and that his compensation was contingent upon his personal success, He was incapacitated trom acting by ie insanity and tuerefure the consideration of the agreement failed, CITY COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART 2, Alleged Slander.

J, | Joachimsen, for @ purpose most successfully con- | cealed by the ladies themselves until the last moment. The occasion was intended as a pleasurable surprise, and, no matter what “doubters” may think or surmise to the con- trary where 80 many ladies were con- cerned, it really was what it was intended— a surprise. The ladies of the Home, in recognition of Judge Joachimsen’s long and ba services in betalf of the institution over whic! they preside, had prepared a set of resoiutions, expressive of their grateful appreciation of the same, and the Occasion of the assembiage in | question was to present them in due jorm. The resolutions were very handsomely iramed in rich polished walnut, with gold borders, the caligraphy and the rich ornamentation being the work of one of the friends of the Home. The presentation ad- dress was confided to Mrs. Leopold Bamberger, | who added to the pleasure of the occasion by the manner in which she acquitted herselt of the task. The genial Judge, alter shaking off a little natural emburrassment, expressed his thauks to tue ladies, and Was soon alter, without any embarrass. | ment Whatever, engaged in es a to each of | them, whenever he cornered them, acknowl. | egments individually.

Y., “BANCO” BAFFLED. Justice Morgan Puts Down His Foot— Gamblers Spending a Night in the Tombs. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the Tombs Police Court was closed for the day, de- tectives Woolsey and McDougal, with the assist- ance of Farley and Dunn, ushered into the court- room five prisoners, arrested in No, 178 Walker street, and known a8 “banco men,” Justice Morgan told the detectives that it wasafter hours, but, as usual with the gentiemen from the Central Office, they do as they please. The names of the prisoners were Edward Foster, Edward Carr, Ed- ward Moffatt, Heary H. Martin, James H. Howard. | karly in the aiternoon Detective Woolsey saw an old man coming up Broadway after leaying the | place in Walker street, which has been known to the poiice a8 a banco establishment Jor some ume, aud on which @ raid was made on ‘Tuesday last. ‘The officer asked the old gentleman if he had lost any money in any game. The latter replied, “Yes; 1 was enticed into that place down street aud was persuaded to risk $60 In @ gambling game, which 1 lost.” ~~ Detective Woolsey at once called on his confrére, McDougal, Who was in the vicintty, and together they pro- ceeded to No. 78 Walker street and captured the five prisoners. Among the men in the piace was ‘Thomas Leveridge, a carpet manufacturer, from Norristown, Pa. This individual had first been enticed into the place by one of the “steerers of the game,” but had not as yet been induced to play. He was very much astonished at the raid of ihe oficers, and also at being informed of the nature of the place, He was likewise very much astonished when informed by the officers that he would have to accompany them to the Tombs. On arriving at the latter place a complaint was taken Irom John Oross, a Justice of the Peace trom the individual who was accosted by Detective Woolsey, and the deuler, Edward Forster, and Edward Gar, the Toper-in, Who met him in the street, were each held in $1,500 bail to answer, Councillor Howe appearea for the prisoners, but Waived examination and asked that they be ted in the Court of Special Sessions. Much to the chagrin of the compiainants, Messrs. Cross and Leveridge, they were sent to the House of Detention in default of $500 bail to insure their appearance a8 Witnesses on the trial, Justice Morgan said, in conclusion, “i’ve had so many of these swindiers before me, and have beep un- able vo hoid them, that I have concluded to take some means to break up this infamous swindle on the strangers who come to this city.” Meeting of the German Saloon Keepers im Their Own Defence—Resolutions Classical and Extraordinary—District Organizations To Be Established— Lager and Law. ‘The German saloon keepers held a meeting yester- day afternoon at the Harmonia Rooms, in Essex street, Joseph Fricke presiding, and Messrs. Green- waillis and T. Klopmann secretaries. Dr. FREZH addressed the meeting at considerable length in opposition to what the Germans consider toul play, on the following points, namely :—That the saloon Keepers should be taxed while most other businesses aré untaxed; that the saloon keepers should be obliged to paya@ tax of $100, | while no other occupation in making a living is 80 taxed, and, thirdly, that debts contracted with saloon keepers cannot by law be collected, A committee of twenty-one was appointed for the purpose of organizing in each district an asso. ciation, the business of which shall be to protect the interests of the saloon keepers in each dis- trict, so that union shall prevail among them, The following preamble and resolutions were proposed by Magnus Gross, and were referred to a committee for consideration :— Whereas the use of fermented liquors, beer and wines as a beverage is nearly as old as mankind; apd whercas history has shown that, the use of these gifts of nature and products of human industry cannot be successfully interdicted by the enactment of laws: that the cause of public morals and true temperance cannot be promoted yy the passage of sumptuary laws, and that the operation of the civil and criminal laws in this respect should be confined to the regulation of the traffic in these commodi- ties and to the punishment of drunkenuess, disorderly conduct and offences against decency ; and’ whereas, it is utterly incompatible with « republican form of gov- ernment and with the existence of free mstitutions to rovide for the regulation of the morals of the people by. Tegisiative’ enactments or by the organic law. of tate; aud whereas the policy of prohibition temperance by law, wherever attempted, and proved but an unbearable and short-lived despoti and produced hypocrites and sly sinners rather t oral and temperate men, and had a tendency to create dis- respect for all laws; and whereas the clamor ao oiten advanced to the effect that all fermented liquors, beer and wines are poison and injurious to body and mind is neither borue out by experience nor by the teachings of sclence, but, on close and thorough investigation, it 1s reduced to the tact that every article of solid or liquid food or drink used by mankind may injuriously affect the human system; and whereas the policy for prohibition by law’ in place of reguia- tion tor the trae | in fermented | lguors beers and wines Is as clearly against the Bill of Rights and the constitution of the State, as well as the constitu- tion of the United states, as would be the interterence with any other trade or licensed busi roduction paying imposts or t io the he State and ihe municipal ge nents: and wheren: in spite of all the foregoing reasons to the contrary, ani many more that could be adduced, fanaticism’ and riotous proceedings are rampant once more against the business in which we are engaged, and local authoritie: dg well as the Legislature of the State, are again besiege: and imposed upon to. pass ordinances and to enact mptuary and bitory laws, iN contravention of rly detined legal and constitutional grounds, as well ‘as in Contraveantion of past experience; Resolved, That we, manufacturers, importers and deal- ers in fermented liquors, beer and wines, for the protec- tion of our rights as citizens and taxpayers and the guarding of our interests in general, do hereby form and Constitute @ society to be cailed the Protective Union of Distillers, Hrowers, Importers, Dealers and Venders of Fermented Liquors, Beers and Wines. Resolved, That the said Protective Union, &c., be made up of all the various organizations to be f = in the different wards of this sity by the native born and | English «peaking or adopted and German speaking mem- bers of the trade, and that immediately after the orgai ization of the vurious ward societies a central body out of the delegates be formed, which shall constitute the gulding organization of all the interests concerned in our business. Several addresses were made during the meeting, among the speakers being Messrs, Fricke, Gross, Falk and Wolbrecht, BROOKLYN SINKING FUND COMMISSION, ‘There was a meeting of the Sinking Fund Com- mission of Brooklyn held yesterday. The report of the Commissioners to January 81, 1874, shows that there remains @ balance of $3,220,280.
