It will be remembered that, under three war- Clab. rants issued by Judge Blatchford in the United | States District Court on the Lith of Jane, 1873, the | eth of June, 1873, and July 39, 18° ipectively, the books and papers of Platt & Boyd, glass im- porters of this city, were seized by Custom House officers on the allegation that Messrs. Platt & Boyd had committed fraud ou the revenue by whe undervalaation of goods. The deiendants filed a petition praying for the restoration of their books and papers, and claimed throngh their coun- sel that the seizure in question was wholly legal and not warraoted by the iaw or the constitution, Full argument having been heard upon this pomt, the Court took time to consider, aud yesterday Juuge Biatchiord rendered a long but able opinion sustaining the constitationalt'y of the law under whieh the seizure in question was made, but lold- ing that the books and papers must be immediately restored to the petitioners, as the government have had them long enovgh to examine and make such extracts from them as they desired.

The constitution gives power to Congress “levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts excises to pay the aebis and provide for the common defence and general welfare of tie United States,’ and “io make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying ino execu- tion” the other powers given toit. Tne fifth act passed by the First Congress was the uct of July 31, 1789, “to regulate the collection of the dutics imposed by law on the tonnage of ships or vessels and on goods, wares and merchandises imported into the United States.” This act contains | numerous regulations to tnsure the collection of duties on imported goods, Among \ ther things it t the Tweed Before Judge Lawrence, The conditional gilt of $1,000 by Willlam M, ‘Tweed to the Seventu Ward Club named alter him has got to undergo investigation beiore a jury. the ciub, gave luis note for the amount, the under- standing being that it was only Ww be paid in case the club proved a fnanvial success, which was not the case.

Judge Lawrence, in a writte Wis clearly some misuuderstanding between the plaiuti and the deiendaut when tue latter signed ibe stipulation to pay, and that the defence pre- sents some features whic be heard.

Irregularities Discovered—The President, Mr. Emil Sauer, Asked to Resign— Statements of the Vice President and Cashier. The irregularities, which were recently discov- ered im the toreign exchange department of the public yesterday, many wild rumors were in circulation regarding the condition of that institution. ‘There appeared to be uo grounds whatever for these reports, a8 investigation dem- | onstrated; for, although Mr. Sauer, the President, had on his own account drawn $65,000 against the joreign correspondents of the bank, he deposited ' as coliateral security tne deeds to bis’ property + in Brookiyn and his iife insurance policies, the nominal value of which was grestly in excess ot the debt. This deficit was discovered early in this’ | month by @ comparison of the balance sheet of the ioreign correspondents, fhe cirectors were at once called together, and secresy iniormed of the compiteations ot the President, the joliowing day he conveyed to bank his Brooklyn real estate, together with a wort- gage on his household surniture and _ silver , aud his life iusurance polictes for $45,000, the casi vaiue of whici is estimated at $6,000. Mr. Sauer then declared that he bdeiieved this would more than cover the amouut of tis deticiencies, but, having failed to make good the lacking junds on Friday, the directors again met and ununj- mousiy vored that tus connection with the bank should cease. A note to this effect was handed him fate tu the evening, and Mr. Saiomon, the Vice President, Was empowered to act as his suc- cessor, WHAT THE ACTING PRESIDENT SAYS. ‘There did not appear to be any disposition to ce about the Matter at tue bank, and ihe ers were readily reached. Mr. Vavid Salomon, Vice President, staved the case very clearly toa Hexatp reporter, “It would seem,’ he said, that duriug last summer Mr. Sauer’ purcnased some real estate in South Brookiyn, on Gowanus upied by Wareuouses, on Winich he hoped e largely.

General Butler, on his way to Boston, stayed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. There a re- porter of the HeRaLp met him. The General was | in the very best condition of temper, and amiability appeared to be photographed upon that remarkable expansion of brow chat seizes the first attention of every beholder of the familiar face, The ordeal of an interview, so much dreaded bv some public men, was the playful pastime of | the great Essex statesman, and he assumed to | | the reporter # familiar and confidential manner | toat was truly charming, Now and then the humor of his sayings was evidently enjoyed even by bimsell, and his recent defeat in Massachusetts appeared to be a pleasant memory. ‘The following is the substance of the interview :— REPORTER (after the usual salutations had been exchanged) —General, how is inflation? General BUTLER—Infiation? Nobody is in favor of inflation, 1 don’t know anything about infla- uon, learned the true name for the increase which has been adopted by Congress, Nobody desires to in- flate the currency, but what Congress wants is to expand it, Let me ask you, Why should a green- back of to-day’s issue not be worth as much as one of the day before yesterday's issue’ R&PORTER—Lf Congress were to issue $500,000,000 of paper money to-day would it still fall to de- preciate the currency? General BUTLER (with deliberation, and closing the famoas eye)—If Congress were to issue 500,000,000 of greenbacks-and with them take up ,009,000 of interest-bearing bonds THE INTEREST WOULD BE SAVED, would tt not? Would not the greenback, as part of the national debt, be enhanced in value? All the difference would be in the premium. KEPORTER—Why is it that so many of the best minds of the country look at the measure as one fraught with ruin General BUTLER—This cry of ruin comes from the men Who hold the bonded debt, which amounts to about one-quarter of the total values of the coun- uy. If there could be such contraction of the cur- rency a8 would make its value equal to that of Plactairy | The good people of New York have not yet | } | gold all the property of the country would be de- | preciated about fifteen per cent actually, and probably thirty per cent, except the debts which are owned by capitalists, which would in crease in value. It would add to the capital- ist’s wealth fifteen or twenty-tive per cent, while | everybody else in the country would lose in the | same proportion. When, during the last panic, everybouy’s property in railway shares, manufac- | tures and everything else fell thirty per cent in ven days the bonded debt of the country did not fall and men’s notes did not grow any less. How- ever, the deprecia‘ion of vaiues was so great that itcould not be compensated for even by the in- crease of the value of the debts which the capital- ists owned, Therefore, on the Sunday of the punic, the very inen were tearing - THE SKIRTS OF THE PRESIDENT | to prevent his going to church, in order to per- | German-American Bank becoming known to tue | Ic was deemed best to give Mr. Sauer | an opporcunity (0 make good his drafts, and on , | (Alter a pause.) | than the sup drawn | | but it was aiso clear that something must be done suade lira to issue the $44,000,000 of reserve ior me sufety of the country, who yesterday went to Washingtou to ask nimif he wouid not veto the bil which legalizes that issue.

REPORTRR—What of the argument that all the solid and solvents countries of Europe, England, Frauce, &c., have specie payment, while ouly such imsolvent conniries as Spain, Italy, Austria, &c., slick to this incontrovertible paper money’ General BUTLEK—ingiand bas issued a paper currency convertible into gold at the pleasure of the holder; however, When any mau calls trom the Bank of Engiand £1,000,000 she increases her rate of mterest one-third, 1f £2,000,000 are called trom the bank she doubles it; if £5,000,000 are called trom her she trebles it, and if £7,000,000 are called sor SHE SUSPENDS SPECIE PAYMENT altogether, Since 1843, and alter having “broken” all the merchaats, the bank nas three times sus- pended specie payment—in 1845, tu 1557 and im Lote. ‘The same argument holds good with regard to the Bank of France. The only relief in times of dis- tress for the people has been to suspend specie payment. Why not live under relief ail the time?
