In relation to the report of Mr. Howe in regard | to the Department of Charities and Correction, it has been said that no repiy would be made by the implicated parties unless a request to do so should come from the Board of Aldermen. Undoubtedly , when chiefs of any department of the city govern- ment give contracts to their relatives for supplies, or positions of “trust, honor and profit,” public judgment points to the Jact only to condemn tt. | So strongly was this sentiment indulged by the ancient legislators of Greece and Rome thata man elevated to any ofice by the voice of the people who was discovered having dealings with a relative on behalf of the State was driven irom his public office in disgrace. That we have grown purer io these iater days reinains to be proven; that cousins and nephews, brothers and prothers- in-law can deal without tavor with the depart- ments presided over by their kinsfolk most people will be pardoned jor doubting, and thus, when it Was discovered that valuable contracts lor cloth, to be used in the Department of Paolic Charities and Correction, Were given to Mr. Lewis Sternbach, a | relative oi Commissioner Meyer Stern, a ptece of jobbery seemed to be indicated, und an investiga- tion was Ordered on the basis of evidence.

Mr, Myer Stern aud Lewis Sternbach were h souglit in vain, but an oMcial jully posted on city affairs, who re- used to permit his pawe to be given, stated to the reporter “that jobvery tn the Department of Charities was scli-cvident--even worse, lie thought, than in the Fire Department, where, ac- cording to an expose ln the HERALD tne other day, brothers and brothers-in-iaw of President Periey receiyed nearly every contract in which tnere any ‘pap.’ Ido hot think,” ve added, “that Com- mixsioner Stern has heard the last of the Howe report.” FINANCE DEPARTMENT TROUBLES.

Mr. Daly’s Suit Against Miss Morant-—De- cision by Judge Freedman. Penalties for Obstructing the Harbor. The Old Adams Express Company Suit. The case of J. W. Uarey, mate of the ship Sov- asailor named Acbilles Brignardello, while ona voyage last spring {rom San Francisco to Havre, Was continued yesterday before United States Commissioner Stillwell. manding the vessel on this voyage, was the only the main facis as detailed in the history of the case published in Wednesday's HERALD, Swan, whose case wae reported in yesterday's HERALD, Js charged with embezzling only $6, end he was sentenced to only six months’ 1mprison- ment, instead of one year,and to psy® fine ot $250, instead of $200, MR. DALY AND MIS6 MORANT. Fanny Morant, who had an unexpired engage- ment to play at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, entered into an engagement to play a rival theatre. ‘This being in alleged violation of her written con- tract with Mr. angustin Daly, the latter, through tus counsel, A. Oakey Hall, made an application in | her from acting elsewhere, Miss Morant, in her | answer, says that an implied part oi the engage- } Ment was that she sould be employed in parts { commensurate with her position on the stage, and that Mr. Daty kept her off the stage, und that he defrauded her by closing his season four weeks before the ordinary time, and without giving her the “benefit”? stipulated for in the contract. Be- sides this constructive breaking of the con- tract on Mr. Daly’s part, her counsel, Mr. Booth, relied on the rule of law that where s Conrt of Equity conid nov enforce the afirmative part of a contract it would not restrain either party under the negative part, There wasa lengthy areu- ment in the case on an order to show cause why the cron should not be made psrmanent be- fore Judge Freedman at ecial Term. Judge Freedman gave yesterday nis dectsion, accompa- nying the same with quite a lengthy opinion. Alter reciting the facta op noth sides he gives the jaw as applicable to the case and iis rulings on the same. His opinion closes as follows:—‘Upon full consideration of all the questions ansing in this case as presented by the affidavits of the parties 1 am entirely satisflea not only that the plaintiff has made out a case which calls sere lor the interposition of the equity powers of this Court, but also that the defendan ‘anny Morant Smith, Nas no defense on the merits, This brings me to the last question invulved. The par- tles evidently foresaw that differences mignt arise between them during the life of the contract, and 80 careiul were they that they provided even for *, contingency which has arisen in this case.* * * arrangement which the parties make, The piainti’ evidently considered that though in case of disagreement he could not compe! the defendant, Fanny Morant Smith, to act, it was worth $33 a week to bim to keep her irom constituting an attraction for a rival eatablishmeat, and she, having agreed to ft, bas no cause of complaint. * * * The motion of plaintiff for the continuation of the injunction during the Neen 8 of the action is therefore granted, with $10 costs, but on condition that the plaintif® pay to the defendant, Fanny Morant Smith, during salary to which she would be entitled under the contract in case o. performance.” PRESERVATION OF THE HARBOR. + The Commissioners of Pilots sued Joseph Morris in the First District Court, before Justice Quinn, for $226, the agwregated penalties for four distinct violations of the law of 1857, forbidding the throw- | ing of rubbish into the bay of New York. Morris | was engaged in receiving decayed fruit trom ves- | eels in the harbor and then dumping it trom his sloop. He claimed to have dumped the rubbish only on the New Jersey shore, but the toatimony was positive that t'ere were four boat loads, eact Peronge og 4 at least twenty cubic yards, thrown into the bay between Bedloe’s and Governor's is- lands in Jane last. The act rmposes a penalty of $5 and $2 adaitional for every cubic yard of rubbish thrown into the barbor. Justice Q Or the ac- cumulation of penalties, and cttiny, supported by sound reason and common sense, the words of Chie Justice Church 1m Sturgis vs, Spofford, a late case in the Court of Appeals, that “prosecu- tions for aggregated penalties should not be en- couraged. Penalties are often incurred inadver- tently or under a claim of right; and if the prose- cution is promptly instituted ior o single offence it operates as a salutary warning to discontinue the practice or acts complained of, while delay may be regarded as an acquiescence in the right of the party to periorm tue acts.” THE OLD ADAMS EXPRESS. -—___—_— Jadge Barrett “yesterday rendered a decision reopening the case of Dinsmore and others vs. Adam and others, as to some of the defendants. At the breaking out of the war the old Adams Ex- press Company sold to one Platt, for @ nominal $300,000, but for his notes ior $600,000, their property in the Southern States, and Platt on that nized the Southern Express Company.
