Before Judge Benedict. ‘The trial of Charles Callender, who is indicted fer having accepted a bribe of $76,000 from the Ocean National Bank of this city to influence his ofMciai action as Bank Examiner in making a re- port upon the affairs and condition of that institu- tion, was resumed yesterday. ‘This is the second trial of this case, tne jury in the first one having been discharged without being able to agree to a verdict, Mr. Wiliam Fallerton and Mr. Dudley Field ap- peared as counsel for the defenaant, and Mr, A. H. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attor- vey, for the government. Mr. Purdy opened the case to the jury, going over the same {acts related by him on the former trial, and which were fully reported in tne HERALD | at the time. He expressed the opinion that the | evidence he now ventured to submit would be ack as to enable the jury to come to a conclasion in rere to the offence charged against the de- wen Ex-Judge Fancher was called to the stand, and j he zave almost identically the same evidence ne Bad given on the former trial. He said that in Sepiember, 1871, he being then a stockholder, interested in the Ocean National Bank, he had asked Mr. Caliender to report on its affairs and condition; Mr. Callender did s0; be made a re- port. Li Purdy offered to put the report in evidence, Mr. Fullerton objected to the report on the | go that it had not been made by Mr. Callen- r in nis official capacity as Bank Examiner. Juage Beneaict admitted the report in evidence. ‘The report is in the following words :— “Examined these 3d and 4th days of October, and found correct. A most gratifying, satisfactory Progress evident in ail branches. Entire harmouy and earnest work on the part oi all concerned will make the institution a grand success, and soon Place it among our soundest institutions. “CHARLES CALLENDER, Examiner.” According to the evidence, this report was made by Mr. Caliender, relying upon the figures he had Sound in the books of the bank. @ay, and only two cases were disposed of The first case called was that of John Doyle, the police- man who, when crazy from drink and under the influence of an insane jealousy, shot Mary Lawlor, his sweetheart. He pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree, District Attorney Phelps said tnat all the cvi- dence went to show that the crime was murder, yet it also went to show that there was not that deliberation which would make it murder in the first degree. He had, thereiore, accepted the pris- oner’s plea, in view of his otherwise good record. ‘Mr. Spencer, his counsel. sajd the proof showed that at the time the prisoner committed this ter- ribie act he was crazy irom drink aud other causes; that his grief ior the act developed itself even then, and Was deep and strong, abd now he was prepared to expiate by punishment for his ermme, But, as the Court bad no discretion in tie extent Oi the sentence, he did ask that a delay of & week be granted, that he might arrange his affairs With his friends beiore he went to his living tomb. Judge Brady thought there was no need of de- laying asentence which was inevitable. but would direct that the prisoner be retaimed for a week in this city. He then sentenced him, reminding him that though there were mitigating circumstances, his crime arose from the use of intoxicating liqgor and from the carrying 0: a pistol. For tne Tesults of these sins he must now be sentenced, aud that sentence must be imprisonment in State Prison ior lile. Warning to Stop Drinking, George Hammond, who some two years ago was convicted of a felonious assault, bat on an examt- nation instituted by Judge Ingraham was found to be insane and sent to tne Lunatic Asylum, was brought up, baving been discharged cared, Was allowed to go on his Own recognizance, but Judge Brady warned him that the use of intoxicat ing Uquors would reconsign aim io the asylum.

Currter.— The plaintiffs, being desirous of erecting a young ladies’ seminary in the vicinity of New York, se- lected a very convenient locality in Uniontown, N. Judge Fancher, tn his cross-examination, said he @id not apply to Mr. Callender to make a report | @i the adfairsand condition of the bank to tne Comptroiler of Currency, and that some months | before Callender examined the bank in October it | Wade a profit of $35,000. | In the progress of the case Judge Benedict said ‘be wouid hoid in this trial—as he had heid in the former one—that wuether Mr. Callender took this | money from the Ocean Bank in the regular course of business, it made no difference whatever if the | taking of it bad the effect of influencing his official action as to what kind of a report he should make in regard to the affairs of the insti- tution. ‘Yhe next witness was Mr. Columbus 8. Stephen- gon, ex-President of the Ocean Nauonal Bank. He yepeated mach of the testimony given by him on | ‘the sormer trial as to the loaning of money to Cal- | Jender on the security of Portage Lake bonds, A long legal argument ensued on the question | ‘whether Mr. Stephenson would have loaned the | money to Mr. Callender on tne security of the | Portage Lake bonds if he had not been a bank ex- aminer; and flualiy Judge Benedict, without pass- ing upon the point, agjourned the court antil Mon- day next, reserving nis decision on the quesuon. RUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, A Memento of the Late Civil War. Before Judge Donohue. i An interesting case came up for argument yes- | terday in this Court, and is one of tae suits peri- edically turning up in the courts bringing up memories of the late civil war. Thomas Ss Metcalf, according to the statement of Wiiham C. Church, was worth about $3,000,000 before the war. | He was a resident of Georgia, and took a lively in- terest in the Coniederate states. He was the trus- tee of Mary E. Church, Maria H. Metcalf and Lorana | D. Martin, and under the will of Thomas S,"| Metcaii’s brother received $40,000 in trust for | Mrs, Maria H. Metcalf and Mary E. Church, This ‘Was as far back as 1841. The trust was one giving power to invest as the trustees pleased, and under at he had invested the iunds in the Mechanics? Bank of Augusta, Ga, of which he was a large shareholder and President. When the war began the funds of that bank were almost all given to the Confederate States upon securities of that govern- ment, which have since become entirely worthiess, and Mr. Metcai! became insolvent. He died in 1670, 1eaving @ will under whicn he appointed Mr. William C. Church one of his executors, Mr. Church was also trustee of the will of brother in 1841, but, not of Georgia took out mo letiers testament- ary on Mr. Metcaifs estate, under the aavice of legal friends in Georgia. There was one relic of hisestate ina claim against the United States for cotton seized belonging to Metcalf and Batcersby, an Englishman, for which ultimately there was awarded $487,242 07, This was ties | posited witb Duncan, Sherman & Co., of this city, | and Metcali's share still remaining with tuat firm, | Mr. Church, as trustee under the elder will, asked | that it be applied to the settiement of the trust under that will, Mr, Charles R, stone, the Geor, | executor of the estate, claims the mouey ior the | general purposes of theestate, Mr. Church mean- while has obtained letters testamentary in New York, and now brings @ suit against Mr. Stone avd Duncan, Sherman & Co., to have that money turned over to hum as executor, but more especially to have an amount reserved sufficient to meet the trust iunds under the elder will, The case came up on & motion pefure Jadge Donohue, in Supreme Court Chambers, for an in- Junction to restrain Duncan, Suerman & Co, from acting with the money until the questions be- tween Mr. Church and Mr. stone could pe decided, The defendants insist that the whole question is one jor the Georgia Courts and that in any ease Mr. Church has no right to bring this suit, They also deny many of the facts, among the rest that bi and Metcalf have yet sewied tueir | re. | his being a resident The case was argued at great length, after which | requested His Honor to postpone the sentence till | | Monday, im order to afford him furtner time to | Jadge Donohue took the papers.

The tather is a litho- grapher and earns at ali times sufficient to keep his | Jamuly in comfortable circumstances; but he drinks, | and his desire for intoxicants is so strong and un- controilable that everything else is only @ second- | ary consideration. During the past winter the | mother uuaided, managed to keep her six children | 1rom extreme want, at No. 241 East Twenty-nintn | street, but the task proved too muci ior her | strength, and about a week ago she succumbed to | ap tiness, which were 1aid | white endeavormg to provide ior her livtle ones during the past winter.

He then got the carving knue, and it was only by indulging in some of the tallest ; kind of tambling thas sne saved her life, This terrible charge, togetuer with the defiant attitude of his frau on the witness stand, seemed to have taken away bis power of speech, for he could only mutter an unistelligible deience. He was com- mitted, in delauls of $1,000 bau, BROOKLYN COURTS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— A critical period for New York has arrived, Sho has hitherto controlled the immense Western grain trade with such ease that the strenuous and well devised exertions of the Canadian merchants to turn the trade into the St. Lawrence route, via Montreal, have been looked at complacently. it was confidently asserted that the Erie Canal could not have asuccessful rival. However, the statistics of grain transportations for the last five years show that Montreal shipments have gatued on those of New York ata ratio of ten to seven, and this increase, it is to be remembered, is with- out the benefit of enlarged Canadian canals. In the meantime the Dominion government, with far- seeing sagacity, has made arrangements to en- jarge the Welland and St. Lawrence canals, so as to admit propellers of 1,500 tons to pass direct from Cnicago and Milwaukee to Montreal and Quebec. By this means the entire upper lake fleet can steam alongside of the ocean ships and dis- charge their cargoes with the least possible ex- pense, at tne same time ensuring their delivery in @ European Bort by the time they would have reachea New York Via the tortuous course and snail pace of the Erie Canal route, Steam power is certainly needed on the Erie Canal, but beiore it can be successiully employed the canal must be en- larged, and this work of enlargement requires to be inished by the time that the new Welland and St. Lawrence canais are opened to navigation. ‘Nhe task of cutting a new and enlarged water Way between Buffalo and Albany ts one of such Magnitude and expense that for these reasuns the project should be abandoned; besides, the grain trade should be conducted via the lakes as far ag possivie, tn order to save time and money. The only feasible scheme which has presented itself to several engineers—among them Mr. McAl- ane that the shorter section of the Erie Janal, between Oswego and Troy, should be im- mediately enlarged to accommodate steam barges of 800 tons burden, and which could attain a speed of ten miles an hour. This shorter canal route could be compieted ‘ig! 1876, or When the new Welland Canal will go into operition; then the New York merchants would benefit by the Welland Canal and have their grain, to @ great extent, landed in New York, direct irom Chicago, Siar a to reach Montreal. Grain 1s now eighteen days in transit by canal boat from Bul- falo to New York, at au average cost of 12.63 cents per bushel. If steam were used over this route the passage would occupy 11.04 days and the cost of transportation be reduced to 8.33 cepts per bushel, From Oswego, however, it would only be 62 days en roue and the cost would be lessened to 5.69 Cents, It is necessary for Congress to act promptly in this Matter, so that an enlarged Oswego and Troy Canal may be ready to open up direct coimanica- tion irom Chicago the moment the new Welland Canal is completed, otherwise it is to be feared that the grain trade of tne West will be turned com- pletely away irom the Empire cry. The recent assage of @ bill through the Canadian Parliament, incorporating @ poweriul transportation company to trade direct from Chi to the seaboard, is & gign of the times, and what is more, it is said nearly one-half of its capital is to be subscribed by American forwarders. Prompt scuon, a patriotic abnegatton of self and @ determination to use every necessary means of retaining the contiol of the Western grain trade, are now needed by our commercial and political magnates.
