4 THE COURTS. | —-——__~— The Case of Mme, Lueea in Supreme Court, Chambers. The Walters Contempt Case Dismissed. Trial of Julius Sarner on a Charge of Per- jury in the General Sessions. THE CALLENDER CASE. | Continuation of the Trial, The retrial of Charies Callender on a charge of | receiving a bribe {rom the Gcean National Bank was continued to-day in the criminal branch of the United States Circuit Court, before Juage Bene- dict. Testimony was given for the prosecution that Calienacr had borrowed $129,000 from the Fourth National Bank of Philadelphia, on Portage Lake and other unmarketable securities, and did not repay vue loan; that the bank tailed suortly after | the Joan was made, and that the President of the bank made the loan good from his own resources. Yeatimony Was also given by prominent bankers brokers to (he efect that a very large Dumoer of the rities lound in the Ocean National Bank as collateral ‘or loans to Callender and his frienas nown to the witnesses as marketable LUCCA’S DIVORCE SUIT. —__+ Baron Von Rahden’s Rights Judicially Recognized—An Judge Donohue’s Decision, The effort made by Mme, Lucca, or rather by ber counsel in ber behalf, to put an estoppel to any | turther litigation by ner former husband, Baron Von Rahden, in connection with their cross divorce suits, has not been altogether successiul, Upon the motion made a few days since in Supreme Conrt, Chambers, de'ore Judge Donohue, to this effect, Judge Donohue gave, yesterday, his decision, as also upon the motion interposed for the Baron to strike out her answer that be had obtained a decree of divorce in Berlin, He denies the former motion and grants the latter, and thus leaves a clear track for the Baron to pursue his litigious course, aud on the other hand compels some other answer | than the one made by Mme. Lucca, The decision is embraced in the following opinion, w.ich we give in full, OPINION OF JUDGE DONOHUE In this case tue facts upoa which both motions depend are simple. The parties were married in Prussia, and in Maren, 1873, the plaintiff com- meneed an action in this Court for a divorce on \ne ground of the defendant's aduitery, and by a decree (which the General Term has modified, al- lowing the defendant to make a defence) obtained in May, 1873, that divorce. That case, therefore, now stands with a decree agaiust the defendant— First, adjudging him guilty of aduitery; secona, prohibiting him from marrying again; third, giv- ang the custody of the only chiid oJ the parties to the piaintifl. Under the leave given to the plaintift to serve a supplemental complaint sne has addea, among other things, the allegation that the detfen- dant, alter she obtained her divorce, proceeded against ber, and, on a lull appearance by her at- torney, has obtained from her a divorce on account of her wiltul and entire abandonment of him, The plaintif’ now sues jor an order for @ perpetual stay against the defendant on the ground that he has obtained a divorce; that there is nothing im- portant to continue the suit for, and that it can only be continued to gratify deiendant’s caprice and injure plaintiff, who is an artist. The de- fendagt moves to strike out plaintifs supplemental complaint, or so fur as it sets up bis | decree and her ailegations in regard to his ob- jects. In regard to the piaintim’s motion, I can see no ground ior sustain.ng it. The decree that, by her motion, sie seeks to make final, prohibits the defendant from marrying again, and, while it may be said this only affects her in this State, the an- swer is, he is entitied to have that removed if he isnot gulity. Again, that decree takes from him the right tothe custody oi her child. In this, [ think, the decree inflicts on him such a loss that he has the right to be heard beiore he hears it. Again, the decree holds him guuty of what this State does not punish as a crime, but to which it does append punishment inthe prohibition in the decree. It Seems to me, therefore, tnat the deiendant, a for- eigner, appealing to our courts for justice against a sentence Pye him in his absence, asks butsimple justice. ‘The Court, itscems to me, has gone as Jar as it can already in sustaining the decree to the exteat it has. To deny to this defendant the simple justice he asks would be harsh, That it may bring trouble to the plaintii 1s true; but had she waited a few days jonger before she acted on ber decree against @ man whom she did pot know had tnformation of it it would nave saved her this trouble, Again, she has,on @ suit commenced aiter she got her decree, appeared and failed to set | up her rights om her decree here. Can she now be permitted, after having an opportunity to do so and aiter apparentiy abandoning this right, now attempt to reciaimit? It seems to me not. Her motion must therefore be de- nied, The conclusion wonld seem to fol- low that the defendant's motion must be granted, The simple fact that the decree was opened to try was the allegation of aduitery against the de.endant and to ailow the defendant to allege such agaiust her prior to the decree. In view of this | cannot see what effect the excepted parts can have. If the plaintif will set aside her decree she is at loerty to doit, as by that sbe can jeave the defendant free from the fault charged | and from the disabilities which tne decree places him uncer. !\ was supposed on the hearing that the decree might be modined, but that the statute Will not permit, and it will hardly do for the Cvurt to commit an offence to release this party from her own mistakes. Motion to ke out granted, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. a &UPREME OCOURT—OHAMBERS., The End of the Walters Contempt C; Before Judge Donohue. 4 The Sheriff's auctioneer, Waiters, has finally got ont of nis legal troubles. One of the city marsbais, under an execution issued irom the Marine Court, seized property of a jadgment debtor, including a gold watch. One of the Marshai’s men pawned the watch and Waiters redeemed it, The execution having been set aside, all the property taken under it was returned to the owner, except the watch, which Walters refused to give up until paid the money he hed advanced to redeem it. Upon tuis Judge Golding, of the Marine Court, directed his commitment ior contempt of Court. hubeas corpus was served out In this Court; and, after bearing the counsel, Mr. Ambrose Monell, who sued out the writ, and Mr. W. H. Gallaher, in opposition, be was formally placed in the cus- tody of his counse!. In an opinion given yesterday Judge Donotiue ordered his release. He holds that Juage soy 9 transcended his powers. commitment he finds no contempt charged, and, ‘on the facts attempted to be put in to sustain it, no jurisdiction to determine the dejendant in contempt. Interesting to Patentces. A motion was made by William fH. Van Cott to issue an attachment against W. fF. Morgan for alleged contempt of Court. Mr. Morgan is a patentee owting several patents, which, it is claimed, he is compelled to assign under tne order of the Court. Mr. Morgan, acting under the advice of his coansel, Judge Lucien Birdseye and ( olonel George H, Hart, retased to Make the assignment. ‘The latter opposed tbe issuance of the attachment and inzisted that the rights conferred by the United States on a patentee are such as are not embraced in the category of property or choses in action, and that the patentee cannot be com- pulsively divested of bis patents either at law or inequity. And further, that the patent is given as the reward of genius, and is a franchise of a pectliar character, so pecultar that caly the act of the patentee can dives: him of it, The Judge took the papers, reserving tris decision.

Before Judge Sutherland, ‘The trial of Julius Sarner, charged with perjury, was continued in this court yesterday, and as the defence have just only entered upon their case it is probable that the trial will not terminate belore the end of the week. Simeon Prince was called and testified that on | the aiternoon of the fre he and William Sarner, the son of the defendant, leit the store together at | hal-past five o’clock, and that he (the witness) | Was with him til hall-pase tea o’clock at night. ‘This testimony was introduced to rebut Ferry’s evidence, which tended to show that the son | Wulitam was locked up in the store before the fire was discovered, Louis Beckman, the proprietor of a lMquor | saioon corner of Broome and Mulberry streets, | testified that he saw Ferry, Ril ings, the detective, and Sarner in his piace and furnisbed them with a | pen and ink. Joseph |. Stein was the next witness. He swore that Ferry’s affidavit was carefully read over to him before be swore to it, and that he went into Mr. Van Cott’s office to swear to it, Adoiph Bein, a workman in the employ of Sarner at the time of the fire, was examined at great length as to the stock of goods in the establisn- ment. The important feature of his testimony was that he saw @ quantity of tur caps on the fourth floor a few days before the fire, aud that when be arrived at the store on the morning aiter the fire he saw the scorched remnants of fur caps, The main charge in the indictment is that Sarner swore before the Fire Marshal to having a large | quantity of fur caps on the fourth floor of the builaing. Aaron Cohen and John Newman, also workmen, gave similar testimony, alter which the Court ads journed till this morning. SURROGATE’S OOURT. John Hecker’s Will. Before Surrogate Robert U. Hutchings. The will of John Hecker, the four merchant, was admitted to probate by Surrogate Hutchings yes- terday. The amount of the property is not sworn to. Mrs. Hecker is appointed sole executrix.

Alleged Highway Robbery by a Police- man, Before Judge Sherwood, Nicholas Newoeck, a ragpicker, residing in Fitty- | fiftn street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, made application for a warrant for the arrest of | George Reilly, an ofMlcer of the Nineteenth pre- cinct police, whom he charges with robbing him of | $5. He was unable to speak English intelligibiy, | { and a friend who accompanied him interpreted his | | | wishes vo the Court, He charges that about five | o’clock on Saturday Morning last he met two po- | licemen on the corner of Fifty-second street | and fourth avenue. They took hold of | him, aud, without a word of explanation, as he claims, one forcibly took nis waliet from his pocket and extractiog ‘rom ita $5 bill gave the wallet back to him. They then endeavored to drive bim away, but be refused to go, and they threatened to lock him up. Signifying his wish to be taken to the station house, they took him about 4 block and then clubved him until he was very glad to be allowed to fy towards Sixth avenue, a contrary direction Irom the station house. A man Who keeps a lager beer saloon in the neighborhood advised Newbeck to go to Captain Gunner about tbe matter. He did so, and tue two officers who had been on post at the designated point being placea With several others Reilly was promptly potnted out by Newveck. He thought he could also point out toe other, Lat not being certaim of this he declined, It jurther appeared that Newbeck’s complaint has been taken against Ketlly by the Police Vom- | missioners at the instance of Captain Gunner, | and that pending their investigation Reilly has been suspended from duty, Captain Gunner was | Present when the warrant was applied for by New- beck, and at his request Judge Sherwood refused | to issue a Warrant ior Reilly's apprehension, or to take any action in regard to the case until the Po- lice Commissioners had made 4n investigation. ; Neubeck and bis friend intimated their intention | of going at once before the District Attorney with | | the case, a8 itis feared by them that Reilly will leave the city, Newbeck states that persons in the interest of Reilly have endeavored already to | settle the case by giving him back his $5, which | | be refased to accept. Reilly denies most emphati- | cally having ever seen Newbeck betore his meeting | wito tim at the station house. It is claimed, how: | ever, that other witnesses will corrovorate New- beck’s statement, aod Dot alone that but prove | the identity of the second policeman en; tie outrage, i iid a COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS—Held — b; Donouue.—Nos. 65, 90, 92, 101, 104, 105, 106, 107. 108, | 109, 110, 115, 139, 140, 144, ° 165, 178, 180, 195, 207; 221, mpcrnkwe LOOT nue t Teme i vi —GENBRAL TERM—Held by Judges Davis.

YANKTON, D. T., May 25, 1874, In the trialof Wintermute for the killing of | General McCook, the principal witness on Satur. | day was one “English Pete,” who testified to being present at the meeting and witnessing the affray, and attempting to take a revolver from the hand of General McCook and rusning into the court room afterwards. He said that in attempt- ing to wrest the weapon irom McCook’s hand wt went off and shot witness in the nand; that six months afterwards, in March last, witness took a | piece of the bullet out of his hand with the aid of a@ jackknife, On his cross-examination witness said that he Went to work with an axe a few days | alter the shooting, and subsequently disappeared without letting any one know of his whereabouts, He has since been in Wisconsin until a short time ago, when one of the counsel for the defence found him there and paid his way here and prom- ised to give him $1 a day and his expenses during | the trial, Witness said General McCook did not | have his hands up when he came into the room aiter the firing of the first shot, contrary to the al- most unbroken testimony of the other witnesses The foundation was laid on the cross-examination to impeach the cersinony of this witness by four well-known citizens, to whom it 18 said he showed his hand after the shooting, and declared that Wintermute hid his pistol and that he (the witness) hurt bis hand in trying to take Wintermute’s pistol away from him. Thus jar the testimony of the witnesses for the prose- cution and the defence has been very conflicting on many important points. DAS PFINGSTFEST. Whitsantide, and How the Germans Celebrated It. Pfingstmoptag, or Whitsuntide, was duly cele- brated yesterday by the Germans of New York. The Pfingstiest, which is the celebration of the advent | of spring, is one of the national German testivais, It is customary to express the joy felt on this day | by songs and dances and merrymaking, and thus cheerily to greet the beautiful awakening of na- ture. Tune Beethoven Maennerchor, one of the largest German singing societies in this city, gave such a celebration at the Terrace Garden yester- day. The pouring rain diminished the attendance | considerably, but the ardor of the socicty it could | notdamp. At four o’clock some thirty or forty children, prettily dressed in white, appeared | on the stage and sang a merry psp im honor of the spring. Their voices weré ad- muirably trained, and the effect was most picasing. Some of the girls represented flowers, others trees (green leaves entwining tueir littie heads), while | tue boys assumed the characters of huntsmen or of black beetles flying about to catch the girls, &c. During the intermissron there was dancing by the children. In the evening the society gave a clas sical concert, which consisted of the iollowing se- lections:—*Triumphal Message,” by Kreutzer, sung by the male chorus; “Moonht Night,’ by Lacnner, sung by the female chorus,” and “Eri King’s Daughter,” by N. Gade, sung by the mixed choras, The soli were rendered by Mme. Bredelll, Miss Stoffregen and Mr. A. Sohst. The execution of these difficult pieces reflects great credit upon the society and the conductor, Mr. Traeger. After | the concert the children sang an operette, “The Enchanted Frog,” which was amusing, A ball concluded the elaborate festival, which was cer- | very enjoyable despite the inauspicious weather, Tue Saengerbund’s celebration at Jones’ Wood Was creatly marred by the bad weather, Tne other sdcieties went to the Various gardens frequented by the Germans, to the Buena Grove, 138th street, between Fourth avenue and Harlem River; to Kasefang’s National Park, in Tenth avenue, be- tween Sixty-second and Sixty-third streets; to Muller’s Sylvan Park, in Morrisania; to Bender’s Schitzen Park and to other remote places, The Dancing, singing, beer drinking and merry making in gen- | eral were its principal features. In the morning | there were various small processions of German s0- cieties on their way to the garde’ On First ave- nue and Second avenue, and in many Of the jocall- Ues principally inhabited by Germans, fags were streaming gayly from the housetops, and there | could also be seen of rejoicing. The proprie- tors of the beer gardens had all made great preparations for the day, and the rain mast have inflicted @ serious loss on them. ior the attend- ance was small compared to what it bad been at previous celebrations of “Pfingsten.” Celebration Monday in 6 The great German holiday of Pfngst Monday was appropriately observed in Williamsburg yes- terday. At an early hour in the morning the various societies assembied in. their meeting rooms, preparatory to forming into procession, which, notwithstanding phe sain, was very im: posing.

THE ORDER OF ENOCH. The Prophet Proposes to Reduce the People to Serfdom. The Country Saints Obey—The City Saints Rebel. MORMONISM RUDELY SHAKEN, SALT Lake Crrv, May 18, 1874, The most important conference ever known in the Mormon Cuurch was held here last week. The “Latterday” brethren and sisters were in session four days, and im their attendance, from first to last, numbered regularly about 8,000 souls—men, women and children. The teachings were most extraordinary, and I have waited to see what effect they would have upon the people before I should write to the HeraLp. BRIGHAM YOUNG'S NEW SCHEME, There have been as large assemblages in the great tabernacle before; but in point of interest there never has been anything like this confer- ence im the history of Mormonism. On this occasion the people were convenea to consider what is known here as “The Order of Enoch,” or “The United Order,” an arrangement which Brignam Young proposes for the futare guidance of the Saints in all their daily labors and occupations. As spoken of by Brigham, the results will be a perfect union of the brethren in all things temporally. As seen “without the eye of faith,” this organization is a huge swindle upon the people and destined to reduce them to slavery. Hitherto the Prophet has confined the taxation of his disciples to one-tenth of their an- nual earnings for the support of ti e Church over and above ail the other taxes for secular business; but now he asks the members of his Church to give him all that they have and to bind themselves by solemn covenant and promise and by instru- ments of law to work where, when and how as They are no longer to have anything that they can call their own, THE PROPHETS WINTER QUARTERS. During the past winter Brigham has lived at St, George, the largest settlement in the south of the Territory, 350 miles from here, That country was first settled with the view of raising tropical fruits and. cotton, as at that time the inspired prophets and aposties were regaling themselves and the people with harangues about the dissoiu- tion of the Union and the overthrow of the pa- tional government, The settlers of that new colony were Called from all parts of the Territory, because of their humility and willingness to “obey counsel,” and (poor souls!) they have suffered fear- fully for their credulity. Many who weat there in the beginning lost ail their property, became penniless and begged to be permitted to come North ‘to recruit,” &nd mone of them ever returned again, preierring to be classified with “the weak and the fearful’ rather than to endure the miseries of the life in the South.

For that country Brigham has taken a fancy, and of late years he has made it his winter resi dence. It has qualities that he app:eciates, He is there thoroughly isolated from the rest of the worid, The people around him are very tame, there is not a single “ungodly Gentile” in all the land, and “an apostate” from the laith is unknown. He is there surrounded by obsequious and servile subjects, and his every word is law. Under these most lavorable circuinstances for the cultivation of janaticism he concocted this last winter the plan of subjugating the people of the Territory, and which he ially unfolded during the recent Con- ference.

It was Smith’s ambition to found an empire on this Continent, and he asserted, as did Mahome’, that he had had “visions and “revelations” to thatend. He could see monarchies in old Eu- rope and Asia crumbling and political parties in the New World battling and wraugling ior suprem- acy, to the hurt of the good name and life of the Republic. To him society was one mass of con- fusion and on the fair road to destruc. tion, ‘To his visionary mind the — end of all Gentile government ly @pproaciing, and what to be saved fiom the wreck of peoples and na- tions was destined to be incorporated in bis sys- tem and ultimately ‘orm his empire. This was his everlasting dream. into the minds of the am- bitious men who flocked to nis standard he infused his own zeal and daring and inspired them with the wildest anticipations of temporal rule. Upon poured innumerable blesssings and flattered their simple vanity with the assurance that they were “God’s kingdom builders.” With these two ele- Ments—the ambitious to rule and the willing to be governed —he had ali the material ior bis com- ing empire. They needed only enlargement in uumbers. But he and his people were living in the Republic and the Republic was progress. ‘MORMON LEADERS GO BACK TO ASIA. To gain the ascendancy by rivalling the educa- tion, the learning, the institutions and the enter- rise of the United States was wo great an under- king Jor an ambitious religious enthusiast. To beat by greater capacity everything in human de- velopment which makes the nineteenth century the pride of history was not to be thought of by the prophet Smith. He was unable fto excel, he was unable to cope with the world, and there was lett him the alternative of spurning from bim and his the tide of progress, and to direct back the minds of his disciples to the ages of the world’s infancy. His empire-building scheme could not develop in he light of science. He had, therefore, to fall ack QM the darkness of ignorance and semi-bar- barism, ad there fd the inspiration tor his am- bition ‘among the pennies o Egypt and in the traditional glimmerings g @ long-lost past.

As these words flow from my pen | feel that the general reader will be somewhat incredulous of my statements, but they are, unfortunately, only the too sad truths that are now belore the people of Utah, and ali that I can suggest by way of delence is that to Janaticism there is DO limit of extravagance.

In less than a score of days he will have attained to seventy-three years of age, and the Order of Enoch is evidently the hoboy which he has mounted to carry him to his grave. Others there are, however, who hesitate not to assert that his mind is atfected and that he is partially crazy. 1 repeated this ramor to one of his leadin| men yesterday, and he naively answered, ‘Go an try (6 trade with him and you will find out.’ Tex- pest that he is sane enough.

The people were leit no time to consider. The Mormon press had not a word to say. Everywhere the ominous stilln-ss of death was felt, like the oppressive calm that precedes the storm and the hurricane. When all was ready ‘the Order of Enoch” was an- nounced, and it fell upon the ears of the discipies inke the rumbling of thunder beneath a cloudless sky. Everybody was to consecrate his property to the Lora, ‘WANTS TUR WEALTH AND TIMB OF DISCIPLES. There are no half-way measures with Brignam; it must be atl nor nothing, Fellowship wich him now must be at the price of a full surrender of everything.

In St. George, where he iad {ull swing, and could say and do what he pleased without in- curring Gentile criticism there, the people almost unanimously deeded over their property to the Church and became its serfs, In every particular they announced their freedom and mauhood and became, to all practical purposes, as were the Africans in the Southern States beiore the procia- mation of emancipation, Strange must it seem to the reader, that while the direc*ion of every move- ment is for greater treedom throughout the worid, that a religious enthusiast can, in the very heart of the Republic, forge again the chains of bondage that have but for a few years only been broken by the might of arms in this same Republic, SALT LAKE MORMONS REBEL, But Brignam has not yet achieved the task of general enslavement. ‘This city has unquestion- ably gone out of his hands, brains of the people are Gi dy ainst him and his Order of Enoch, When he arrived here two weeks ago he spoke in the same dominant tone tnat he had used in the South, and be everywnere found murmurs of dissatisfaction, There are too many Gentiles and apostates here for nis peace, and we are hourly in communication with the rest of the world by telegraph and rail. The mines and the Gentile free ress have conquered the priesthood. ‘The fear of righam’s anathemas, his hell, fire, brimstone and the devil have lost their power. Gentile churches and apostate meetings are crowded by the intel lectual and cultured, while the Tabernacle and the Bishops’ ward mectings are sparsely attended, and these chiefly the unthinking, and the sermous of the inspired are dry, stale and an- rofitable. It is a popular saying, and heard every our, that “Brigham has lost his grip.” In the country settlements, where the people are still under the dominion of the priesthood, the Order of Enoch will doubtless prevail and the Cuurch will be enriched by a multitude of deeds of property; but in this city and where its influence extends Bngham and his scheme will be openly repudiated, Of all the stupid things that be has done in his life- tim ane crowns them all.

In his first utterances here he announced his de- termination to make his Order of Enoch a text of fellowship, but he soon learned that the wealthy men would not submit to it and he has backed down, His grand commercial scheme, ‘Zion’s Co- operative Mercantile Institution,” that baa its creditors all over the Unised States and was on the verge of bankruptcy a few months ago, has only been saved from the general destruction by the timely and determined protest of Jennings, the Vice President, and Hooper, the General Super- intendent. They were business men and had large interests in it and they gave the Prophet very clearly to understand that his Knoch schemes should not disturb their commercial credit so long as they could prevent it, and they made him “back water.

Ab open regatta inaugurating the yachting sea- son will be neid on the 4th of June, off the Short Branch House, in Gowanus Bay. Commodore Frank Bates will offer two handsome cups as prizes for two classes of open sloops, to sail ten miles to windward and return. The yachts will be divided in the following classes :—22 feet to 20 Jeet and 20 feet to 16 feet. The schooner yacht Phentom, Mr. W. Osgood, New York Yacht Club, is laying off the foot of Stanton street, receiving a new coat o! paint. The schooner yacht Dauntless arrived from Cobb's Island at one A.

General Townsend, of Albany, is building a sloop yacht to beat the sloop yacht T. B, Asten, the prop- erty of the Olympic Club, of Islip, Long Island. A match has been arranged between the open yachts W. T. Lee and Brooklyn, It will probably be sailed early in June. The lower bay looked quite lively on Satyrday afternoon, as a number of yachts were cruising about. The fleet comprised the Columbia, Idler, Magic, Clio, Agnes, Meta, Triton and several sloops. There were several interesting little con- tests between the different yachts, and the Clio and Magic botn showed great speed on the wind. The Meta appearea to be rather too heavily canvassed, but her owner has hardly got her in trim yet. The | Columbia looked very handsome cruising around among the smailer craft, and she will give the xem some hard work when they come to- gether. The schooner yacht Ibis, Mr. J. A. Brown, New York Yacht Club, 1s cruising in Southern waters. She Was anchored off Covb’s Isiand on Sunday. The yachting community will probably be grati- fied with a race between the Columbia and Made- leine some day during the latter part of the com- ing month. Both yachts will sail in cruising trim, carrying anchors and guns on deck. U's Lise, speaking of the schooner yacht En- chantress, Mr. Loupat, New York Yacht Club, says:—‘Whether the American schooner Eachant- Tess, now being lengthened at Cowes, will jom in the open matches will only be decided after a trial.

More Evidence as to the Reputation of the Pla'ntiff—What a Detective Swore To. The peculiar interest attached to this case, which ts now drawing to a close, attracted yester- day @ large assemblage to the Supreme Court room, Aithongh nothing unusually startling was developed, the fact that the great question at issue was approaching @ solution created a con- siderable amoant of comment throughout the building. Various opinions were expressed as to the result, which ts awaited with much curtosity, As on the preceding days of the trial, the plaintit, Mrs. Brinckley, sat near her counsel, ana listened to the evidence with great attention, manifesting, however, but little anxiety ana seemingly very much composed. The legal advocates displayed their usual skill and sagacity, and, altogether, the contest presented many interesting features rarely characteristic of such proceedings. Shortly alter ten o'clock Judge Van Brunt took his seat on the bench, when Mr. anthon, on benalf of the de- fondant, called attention to several interrogatories, exception to which had previously been taken, relative to the questions at issue. After little controversy as to the admission of certain of these interrogatories the examination of witnesses was resumed, GENERAL REPUTATION. James E. Lampier, in response to Mr. Anthon, testified as follows:—I reside in Memphis, and have lived there nearly all my life; { am ac- quainted with the defendant in this suit, and know the plainiif by sight for two or three years; I know that the general reputation of the plaintit and defendant living together was that they were living together in an illegal manner. Cross-examined by Mr. Beach—Did you come to this city to deliver this testimony? A. No, sir. Q. Then you were caught here? A. I met tho defendant a week ago ior the frst time. Q. Did he converse with you about this case? A He spoke to me about it, Q. Did you talk with anybody else aboutit? A. Yes, I believe [ talked with Major Gray about it; Major Gray is a merchant in Memphis; 1 met him at the New xork Hotel; I don’t remember having spoken to any one else; I saw Mr. Brinckley, Sr., and Colonel Thompson at the New York Hotel; I came to New York in the interest of some Memphis merchants; among other parties whom Iheard speaking about the case were Sidney Woodward, Samuel Wilson and Horace Pigots; I heard that Woodward had an foterest ina keno concern; Wilson is engaged in the manufacture of wagons and Pigott 18 a clerk. MORE ABOUT REPUTATION, A. M. Wiikinson next testified that he resided in New York and was engaged in the railroad busi- ness; lived in Memphis (rom 1859 to 1870; knows the defendant and has seen the plainti; the gen- eral reputation of the parties was not good. Cross-examined by Mr. Beach—Q. This reputa- tion of which you speak was gathered by you from persons on the street? A. | have heard it both on the street and indoors. Q. Mention some of the names of the parties you heard speaking on this subject. A. Dr. W. K Chandler, Colouel Coleman; the others [ cannot call to mind. Q. Would you be willing to swear you heard five persons speaking on the subject? es. Would you swear anita ten persons speaking on the sul ae A. No, sir. . What was the population of Memphis when you left there? A. About 40,000. Mr. Anthon then proceeded to read another batch of depositions including those of P. M. Pat- tison and W.M. Redwine, after which Samuel Jones took the witness stana and deposed that he resided in New York, but had formerly lived in Memphis; he knew the defendant, but not the laintif; had heard of the relations between the: but he could not say of his own knowledge w! the general repatation of the parties was, Jn reply to Mr. Beach the witness stated that be did not remember the names of any who en him as to tie general reputation of the jaintif. Z Melville De Wolf, the next witness, testified that he lived in Memphis from 1863 to 1869, and, like the others, was acquainted with the defendant and had seen the plaintiff; was introduced to her in Adams’ Block, in Memphis, as Mrs. Harris by J. C. Harris, a dentist in that city; she had rooms on the same floor. In reply to Mr. Beach the witness stated tnat he never saw her afterwards as Mrs. Harris. Sue was reputed at this time to be living with Mr. Brinck- ley. %. Did you happen to know that Brinckley en- gaged tucse rooms for her? A. I did not at that time. that you heard GENERAL REPUTATION AGAIN. Samuel Elan was next examined. He sald he had lived in Memphis and had heard on the streets what che general reputation of the parties was. By Mr. Beach—Do you know what constitutes general reputation? A. Weil, 1don’t know nowa- days, (Laughter.) Q. Do you know what constituted it in better days, then? A. I used to think I did. Q Well, what was it? A, General reputation meant honesty and virtue. Mr. Beach—You donit know what it means, Would you be willing to swear how many times you heard persons speaking in reference to tne general reputation of the parties? A, I would not ‘THE TRADITIONS OF MEMPIIIS. Mr. Anthon then commenced to read some in- terrogatories taken in Memphis, and at the con- clusion Judge Van Brunt inquired when he would robably finish the light literature, to which Mr, Riathon replied that he believed these great tradi- tions of Memphis were nearly exhausted. (Laughter.) Mr, Brinckley, Sr., was called by the defence to testify in relation to the action of the Grand Jury of Shelby county. The questions, however, were overruled, 4 APTER THE RECESS, Abraham Marks, af torney-at-law, deposed :—I re- side at No. 64 West Tenth street; I know the plain- tiffin this action; inthe winter of 1870 she ap- ied at my house for the position of housekeeper; ed bhe was a widow; she remained at my house @ month or two.

To the best of my recollection it was in the winter of 1570. Q. In view of what has been said this lady (the plaintif@) requests you to state U1, from your own personal knowiedge, you Kuow anything against her? A. Ido not, sir. A DETECTIVE ON THE STAND, Henry Buch Cranmer was the next witness ex- amined, and in reply to Mr. Anthon testified that he was special officer to the Chief of Police of Mem- phis: he went to Memphis about seven years ago 9 take part in a law suit, and accepted a position under the Chie of Police. During his stay in Mem. phis he became acquainted with the plaintur amd defendant. The witness then proceeded at some length to detail the conversation he had with the plaintif relative to the suit. He remembered, he said, on one occasion she told him she was goin: to gain the suit; that she was studying her evi- dence as an actress on the stage would study her lines, in order to bring the case belore the jury. He did not recollect anything further that she aaid: he met the plaintiff in the city of New York; she | lett a note for him, and he went to her residence. The witness further narrated the result of his visits to the plaintiff while in Memphis, but added shat he could not remember anything of their con- versation except that already set forth, Mr. Beach subjected the witness to @ severe cross-examination, when it appeared that Mr. Brigkley bad told ia be would pay him if he could cofmpromise the suit. He had sent a tele- ram to the plaintim, directed to the care of essrs.
