Temp!ston Sentenced to the State Prison for Seven Years and Six Months. Yesterday Judge Blatenford, sitting in the United Staves District Court room, called the equity calen- | dar, and commenced the triai of causes for the United States Circuit Court, The admiralty calen- dar will be called ia the District Court on Money, May 11, and the jury calendar on the 8th of June. In the United States Discrics Court yesterday Juage Blatchford rendered his decision in the case of Herman Baetjer vs, Chtistian Bors. It was a suit to recover damages for alleged violation of & charter party. Judgment was given Jor the libel- lant, with an order of reference to a commissioner | to ascertain the amount of damages to be awarded, | In the case of James H. Henry and others vs. the ship Monteagle—which was au action to recover $600 as damages for the loss of plate glass shipped by the libellants from Liverpool on board the Mont- eagle—the Judge rendered adecision im favor of | the libellants. In the matter of Charles Deems vs. the Albany nal line there was a decree for Ubellants. The action had been instituted tore- | cover for damages caused by the sinking of a boat, | the ©, M. Deems, which had been towed by one of | the boats of the Albauy Canal line, and came in col- lision with the steamer City of Brooklyn im the North River, in June, 1871L. | Yesterday James Gallagher, of No, 753 Third avenue, was heli by Commissioner Shields in $506 «bail «for «= eXamination on @& charge of having done business as @ retail liquor dealer without paying the special tax required by law. Mr. Edwara D.

COURT OF OVER AND TERMINER. Betore Judge Braay. | On the reassembling of this Court yesterday, { there being as usual @ large crowd in the court | room on the anxious lookout for something sensa- , tional in tue criminal line, the Grand Jury came into court. Discharge of the Grand Jury. After the Grand Jury had taken their seats Judge Brady said he was happy to inform them | their services would no longer be required during the present month. This, Judge Brady cont:nued, Was a condition of adlairs calling for the most earnest public congratulation. It was the first time in many months in which it Was not ueces8ary to have two grang juries em- panelled. ‘his result was due unquestionably to the terror inat had been inspired in the criminal classes by the prowpimess ul mdictments found by the lormer grand juries of that Court. He hoped, if itshould’ be necessary to cali them together again, that tney would present the same formid- able Jront to criminals, He then dischurged them, Delegating Legislative Power to the Board of Health. | The Court of Special Sessions last week con- victed a Washington Market butcher named Charles Clark of violating the Sanitary Code. It having been proven by the testimony of Colonel Devoe, Superintendent of Markets, and other ‘Witnesses that the prisoner sold ‘bob veal,” Clark Was sentencea to the Penitentiary for one month aud ‘ined $i00 in addition to the imprisonment. His counsel, Mr. William F. Howe, having sued out a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari, appeared yesterday in this Court, and insisted that bis client was entitled to a dis- charge on the return to the writ 07 babeas corpus, inasmuch as there was no statute against such an offence as that of “violating tue Sanitary Code.” Judge Brady remarked that the question of health was of paramount importance, and he felt it bis duty to sustain the efforts of all who sought to preserve the health of our citizens by legal means, according to law; but tue question pre- sented had better be submitted to tue iull Bench at General Term, where it should be fully argued. Mr. Howe suggested that his client, Clark, should be balied in the meantime, inasmuch as the next session of the General Term would not convene until long after the term of the prisoner’s mmpris- onment had expired. Judge brady grantea the motion and set the bail at $300, which, being readily tendered by Clark's iriends, he jeft the court room greatly re- joiced to be once more at liberty. The Railroad Bond Forgers. In the case of James W. Johnston, indicted for alleged complicity in the forgery of Buffalo and Erie Railroad bonds, Mr. A. Uakey Hali moved a reduc- tion of the batl, which had been placed at $20,000. He urged as woe basis of the motion the long time the accused had been in prison, the dilatormess of bringing the case to trial and the fact that recent developments went to show lus entire inno- cenee of the charge preivrred agatnst him. Dis- trict Attorney Pheips acknowledged the force of the application, and upon his consent the Bail was reduced to $2,000, Simuar application, based upon the same state of tacts and with similar result, made by Mr, owe in the case 0: Joseph J. Y . Viola:ing the Election Law. The trial of various parties for allezed violation of the Election law was set down for yesterday. One, it appeared, had gone to California, and his bail was accordingly declared forteited. Counsel for the others were not ready, and so the trials were postponed, a day for trial being fixed upon, however, in each case. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. | A Profitable Collecting Lawyer. | Before Judge Donoghue. Application was made in this court yesterday by | General Sandjord for an attachment against Charles J. Guiteau, a lawyer, to compel him io pay in certain moneys collected by him sor Rees Brothers.

For the damage to her dignity and person thus inflicted upon her Mrs. Kretzler thought she was entitled to $20,000, and sue brougnt suit tor this amouut. The case came to trial yesterday, Several medical witnesses were called on her nalf, who testified that they she Was confined to her louse three weeks. ‘The defendant's side of the story is that he had a quantity of lime for setting stoves in front of his Premises, and it was injured several times by the plaintl throwing garbage on it; on the night in question he forbade the plaintiff throwing garb- age in froat of his place; but she disregarded his caution, and he tollowed her to her stand and threw back there what she had thrown in front of his premises; he did not use any unnecessary v10- lence; a crowd gathering he was pushed against her, and she threw ashes and dirt in bis face, the flat end of the shovel. Judge Larremore left it to the jury to determime the tact whether the plaintiff suifered injuries in- flicted by the delendant, and instructed them that the defendant had a right to use such jorce as Was necessary to remove the plaintit from the premises and no more.

He would not bave wisned that himself. He was a boy of great good sense. He was, indeed, a pocket edition of myselt, | i We will drop here the dialogue form in order to present our narraive in a more | connected shape. Tne Opdyke family are | from Heidelberg, where the Doctor was edu- cated. He came to this country and city when | quite @ young man, and for a number vi years re- sided in one of the old-tashioned houses on South Fourth street, He was married to an American | lady, Who died shortly alter the birth of her only | chiid, George. Tne Doctor, much against his wili, and Owig to circumstances of a@ strictly private | nature, was compelled to leave his old home and | move turther up town to his preseut residence, | Even at the time of ius wile’s death, now nearly | wwenty years ago, it was his desire, and hers too, | for she had learned to accept his theories, tuat her | { body should be burned ; Lut it was feared to attempt | it them im the face oi public opimion, and ier | body was buried after the usual fashion. The | house in which the Doctor now resides, and which he has occupied but asbort time, was recently | built and was purchased by him betore it was | fimished. Thongh having neariy all the mcdern | improvemeats the Doctor insisted upon several ideas of his own, and among them a pecuitar con- | struction of tue main chimney, This he intormed us was with a view to what has occurred. Per- haps peculiar 1s the wrong word, lor the chimney 1s nuch like those in use im numerous old-fashioned houses. In tue cellaritis supported by an open arca, into which tne ead of the cnimney opens, the opening idly! generally closed with a tin throat piece, It was here that the burn- ing of the body of his son took place last friday. George Opdyke was twenty-one years of age, educated at the University 0 Pennsylvania, an |‘as his father has suid, much like him. He died | last Wednesday, and nis death notice will be | found in the Press and Ledger of Thursday. His | | demise may be cated sudden, though he had been | long suffering irom what a post-mortem showed to be heart disease, Neither father nor son suspected the truth until aiter the latter’s death. As we | | have hinted, the boctor has long been a believer in | cremation, and is thoroughly conversant with tae subject, Since the matter has been taken up by | the newspapers he has talked much with his son about it, and a month ago they bound themselves | by solemn compact that the survivor | ot the two would see that the body | ot the other © was destroyed by tire. | 1n the natural course ot events it would have been | the doctor's remaius whica would have undergone vhis Operation, but late decided otherwise, George died Wedaesday mornug. | ately sent as follows:—Yo a boiler maker lor a | boiler-iike contrivance six feet and a halt loug by | two eet six inches in diameter, closed and riveted at botn cnds, and opening in the middle on hinges. | lt was tobe made o1 the best bower iron, ‘toa | bricklayer to construct a furnace in the cellar, | ciosing tb with It the large opening beneath .{ tue coimuey, and making a fer of brick. Half way in the furnace and hali way in | the chimney on the brick floor were | erected two ilttie brick towers some six iveet apart, upon whica the boiler, or coffin, lat upoa one side, was to rest. For two loads of yellow res- ious pine. The orders were all filled, and the work dove by Thursday nignt, and on Friday morn- ing at six tue Ceremonies commenced. The body, periectly naked, Reed Dr rae within the trou comin, | which was riveted and screwed together, put upon Une little towers, Which rose about w foot above the | floor, the tin throat piece tuken from the chimney, | wood piled under, about and all around the iron cofiin, and set on fire. The cellar winduws were | Opened for better draught. it will, of course, be | understood that, to prevent phe boiler burst- ing, holes were pierced for the escape ol the gases all along the upper sides. It was kept at @ white heat until iour | o'clock P, M., when they ceased firing up. A cord | and a half of wood was used. 1l¢ was at tirst | thought that the coftin could be opened about mid- | night, but it was afterwards determined to allow it to remain as it was until daylight. It was then drawn iorth. By the heat it had become much Warped, and when they attempted to open it they jound that the threads of the screws which had | been used in closing were entirely melted, and | lt was necessary tocut it with a@ cold chisel. When opened not a vestige of the body re- maimed—uothing but about a quart of whitish gray ashes, some iittle of which was | Spilied upon the cellar floor; tor, of course, the | hinges would not work, and they were compelled | to cut tae coftin entirely apart, | collected and now are in an urn On the mantel in the Doctor's study. ‘There is not a particle of bone among them, and the Doctor deciares that, | when the ancients burned their dead on wood | piles and collected the ashes they took up With them many pieces of bone; for, he Says, héarly all | the old burial urns Sptnee contain small bits of | bone.

In answer to | our inguiry why they did not cool the coffin by | throwing water upou it, the doctor said there was no Lecessity Jor that, and ti they had the ashes, he | feared, would have turned to paste.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Spirits of Evil Still at Work---Currency and Its Movements, CAPITAL AND CREDIT, The Folly of the Senate Bill and Its Influences. TROUBLE IN WALL STREET. Exeitement—A Heavy Decline in Stocks— Failure of a Well Known Firm. MONEY 7 PER CENT GOLD. WALL STRext, Monpay, April 20—6 P. ‘u.} The rule governing the diffusion of currency can in no wise be atfected by legislation. Statute law may send money to a given point, and for the moment satisfy the constituents of such men as Morton, Logan and Merrimon; who, in their igno- rance, may believe that its mere presence Means prospericy; but it is only the law of trade that can keep and give It use. Issue more currency and it Will go just where it is wanted, stay no longer than it is wanted, and when its work is accomplished it will flow back to the great reservoirs, It can neither be forved into the channels of legitimate business nor out of the channels of speculation. Whether the amount be $44,000,000 or $444,000,000 the ultimate concentration of the sum willbe in the hands of the speculators of the country, for AN EXCESS OF MONEY invariably incites gambling, stimulates the appe- tite for more and only aggravates tne evil which the pettifogging legislator has sought tocure, If tnere are States in the South and West which re- quire more currency’ they must buy it with their products, When these are in demand, as they are | at certain seasons of the year, the purchasing tide | flows in those directions. It finds its way to the vauks, and subsequently returns to New York, Boston or Philadeiphia, though counted, perhaps, as reserve at two, three or four points in transitu, Why is this the fact, especially when it is remem: | bered that money in many country localities is | worth from 2 to 2 percent a month? The answer isin a nutshell. Because money will only abide in @ gommunity that lives upon ita earnings and not upon its debts. Nor will capital anywhere in Christendom remain with @ people unless it ve fostered by thrift, by exact traMsactions, energy, enterprise, prudence and economy. LONG LOANS, especially on uncultivated lands or real estate, are | rarely extended by banks of circulation. They emanate irom savings banks and other kindred institutions, which, being established under State charters, are the outgrowth of the industry and | commerce of the people. Hence the difficulty of free banking in the South and West. A capitalist with $100,000 can better afford to make loans as an individual, at the high rates of interest above | quoted, than to spend $20,000 as a premium on the purchase of United States bonds and then re- ceive but 90 percentof ciculating medium on which to bank, with the prospect of realizing his | chief profits only at stated seasons of the year, and the necessity, should the Senate bill pass and he be a law-abiding citizen, of locking up | his reserves in is own vaults as so much UNPROPITABLE TRASH. Under such circumstances the inducements to free banking are not @attering. But as we have stead- ily urged, there 1s already a redundancy of money in the country, plenty with which to buy articles at their actual value. Prices are still inflated and artificial as the result of the tremendous specula- tions begotten of the war and its paper issues, | Let these adjust themselves to a reasonable meas- ure of circulation, and the effect will be quickly ) apparent in an appreciation of the value of money and in tne pricking of the Immense speculative balloons to aoat which comes the wild cry from the South and ‘West for “more!” The question has been asked, how, if the Senate bill becomes a law, | additional greenback currency is tobe put out ? There are but TWO METHODS. The first is by paying the running expenses o! the government, This is now being done by the revenue, or when a slight defect exists by a Treasury sale of gold, which prodaces sufficient greenbacks for the ensuing month, The second i» by the purchase of United States bonds. Where ? Wali street. What is the consequence? Addi- tional currency thrown into the very hotbed of speculation. How does this benefit Illmois, North Carolina or Georgia’ ‘he answer is obvious. | Hence the signing of that senate bill, if ic means anything besides the broken faith of the govern- Ment, means inflation of the worst and most de- structive kind, to say nothing 0} the jrat gf evils ! over which the nation may yét have to Mourn. AN EXCIIED STOCK MARKET. The stock market to-day was stirred to its very core, and received ashock which it has not felt | since the panic. It was more than feverish. It Was alarmed, demoralized, ana attended by unt- versal disturbance that penetrated the office of ‘every holder of long stocks, and pro- | voked well grounded fears that the events | of the hour might prove the beginning | | of another financial disaster. Men rushed | hither and thither in anxtous desire to sel!, and the more that was sold the greater was the de- pressing weight added to the natural causes of | weakness. The HERALD in this column has re- | Peatedly sounded the note of warning. The gen- eral condition of the country, as illustrated by suspended industry, idle thousands, stagnation in trade, a reduction of railroad earnings and other evidences of decline, has been a subject of fre- | quent comment here and elsewhere, because these known facts are antagonistic to the spirit of wild speculation, amid which prices in Wall street have been shot upward and eventual misiortune in- i | Vited, Steadily for weeks the closing figures have marked an approach to something like REAL VALUES, Not by fractions aione, but by whole numbers, operators have been startled to see some of the | | Most frugied pecurlting Of she street drop. drip, 1 rop, Whtil té present Fesult has beth reached. | Doubtiess the principal motor to-day was the | | breaking of C. C. and I. C., and the attendant an- nouncement of the failure of a house identified | with its fortunes; yet, weak as this stock was known to be, even such knowledge fatied to pre- | vent the sympathetic decline that promptly ex- | tended to other shares upon the list. Hence there | | ensued not a little disturbance of loans, | | @ stiffening of the rate for money on | | call, dud those other signs that in- | | dicate suspicion aroused, and precautionary | | Measures for tle future. While the market closes thus gloomily, however, it 18 not to be inferred that it will be unattended by some reaction, and that even within iorty-cight hours the bulls may not rush into the gap, and, availing suemseives of low prices, compel by their purchases another ad- vance. But whether this resalt occurs or aot the events of to-day demonstrate THE FLIMSINESS OF THE SPECULATIVE STROCTURE | and show how the breaking of one of its supports | Tay make the whole fabric tremble to its base. Naturally the weakness of the situation was assisted by @ rumor put forth for the | purpose of further disturbing confidence There were “hints from Washington that | the President would surely sign the Qur- rency bill; that Comptroller Knox would require national banks to call home their legal reserves; that dificulties were about to ensne between the Union Pacitic, Pacific Mail and Panama companies, in consequence of disagreement as to freight charges—all of which served to increase the pres- gure and enforced a dgoline from 1 to 10% per cent. As before intimated, chief tn the downward ' movement was ©, C. ana I. C., which fell off from 80% to 20, A FIRM WAS EMBARRASSED, @nd stock going to.it was sold out “under the rule” to the extent of 1,500 shares.

Margins were disturbed, loans were subjected to Keener critl- cisms, the lessons of September were recalled, and, altogether, there was manilest a species of financial conservatism that appeared strangely in contrast with the generous {ree and easy methods of dispensing monetary hospitality that have re cen‘ly been the rule. Foreign exchange was also advanced by the jeading bankers to 4.86 for sixty days sterling and 4.89 for demand, although 4.86 and 4.88 continue to be the rates for actual bust- ness. The scarcity of commercial bills is given as a reason for the change. The demand, however, ta limited both from bankers and importers, THE GOLD MARKET. Gold opened at 114 and remained at this price the greater part of the day, the exceptional trans- actions being \% higher and % lower. The market is apparently in such a tremulous attitude that is would yield to the control of a few moneyed opera- tors and move responsive to their upward or downward influences, The value of greenbacks, as measured by to-day’s closing price, is only 8% cents and 7 mills.
