Some time since a motion was made in the Su- perior Court by Henry H. Morange to disbar Richard B. Keily, The case came up for argu- ment yesterday in the General Term, when Mr. Morange appeared on his own behalf. At the con- cluston of the argument, Mr. Arpoux appearing in | opposition, the Court deuied the motion, thus en- | trely exonerating Mr. Kelly. At the same time | Judge Davis administered a scathingly severe | rebuke to Mr. Morange, and, in addition to deny- tng the motion, compelled bim by way of penalty to pay all the costs and disbursementa, { SUITS AGAINST THE CITY. In September, 1871, James Reardon was ap- pointedan inspector in the Department of Finance | and held the office till February of the succeeding | year, when he waa discharged. The Comptrolier | would not pay him on the ground that be had not | performed any services, and thereupon he as- | signed his claim to Elisha D. Whitney, who brought | suit against the city ior payment of salary witnin | she time specified. The case came to trial yester- fay before Judge Monell, of the Superior Court. | ‘ar. Dean, Assistant Corporation Counsel, inter- posed the stereotyped defence that Reardon had | 40¢ performed any services, that the position was | asipecure and that ne was not entitied tu any | pay: Judge Moneil held that this was no delence | ie aid that this being a salaried officer, | that the salary having been fixed by | jaw, apd the original claimant having been duly appointed by competent authority, the city | waa legally bound for payment of the salary, He added that however wrong this might seem, the | payment of a salary to a man who had periormed | uo services, the whole jault lay witb our law makers, and that all the Court could do was to ad- | minister the law as found on the statute books. fle ordered a@ verdict for $1,099 70, being the full amount cianmed. Timothy Burke brought a suit against the city | for $234, salary as Street Inspeccor for three | months, in 1873, The case came up for trial yes. | yeraay in the Court of Common Pleas, de!ore Juuge Daly. The answer was that po services had been rendered, but when the case was callea Mr. Dean, qo, it appears had made a mistake as to the year io which the sareties jor pay for which the sait Was brought were per/ormed, alowed a verdict to be entered for the piaintif. James N. McGowen was one ofthe clerks de- tailed to actin the committee of tue Board of | Aidermen and supervisors and citizens appointed in 1871 to examine the city accounts. Tie Saper- visors awarued the clerks $250 each extra pay for anch extra services. Mr. McGowen brought suit for bis award, the Comptroller having re‘used to pay it, and the case was tried yesterday beiore Juage J. F. Daly. The defence was that we services were DO? worth this amount aud that the Super. | visors had no right to make the award. There | was consideraole sparring between counsel bat | tue final result was @ dismissal ofthe complaint, | OYER AND TERMINER. | The trial of the sixteen inspectors of election | for alleged violation of the election laws was set | down ior trial yesterday in this Court, before Judge Brady. Owing, however, to a misunderstanding { between counsel as to whicn case should be tried | ‘Orst, the trials were postponed until to-morrow. | Wiliam Dalton was placed on trialon a charge | ‘of receiving stolen goods, the alieged stolen goods | being sowe barrels. | “Who is your counsel’? Jadge Brady inquired of | the accused as the latter rose up on bis case being called; ‘500 seem to have no lawyer.” | “I will be my own lawyer,’ promptly answered Dalton, “notwithstanding the old adage avout a man beving @ fool lor 4 cliemt When be acts as Lis own lawyer.” “All right,” replied the Jadge, smiiing.

WOODHULL-CLAFLIN IN COURT, A motion was made in Marine Court, Chambers, | yesterday, before Judge Gross, to vacate the or- der of arrest in the suit of A.M. Truman against Woodhull, Clafin & Co, The motion was made and argued by Mr. ©. W. Brooks, counsel tor tne | defendants, on the ground of want of jurisdiction | §n this Court; that the Court could not arrest fe- males except for wilful injury to person, character or property; and as the proceedings equatly in cluded all three defendants ali of them ought to be regased. Mr. James W,. Silliman, counsel for pifacit, replied in an extended argument, com- meucing with the granting of the order of arrest, | om the 7th of August, by Judge McAdam, who at first had doubta as to its propricty, but, upon | e the facts and examining bh presented, became inily satisfied As Ww the auestion whetuer | with judgment for plaintit for $200, | 10th of Septemoer stole @ horse and wagon, valued NuW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1874.— a woman could be arrested, connset cited the case of the Northern Rasiway of France agatnat | Carpentier and otners, reported in 13th Howard, |p. 222, in waien the Judge eid that for the abarraction and fraaduieat conversion of Taliroad shares, @ woman could be arrested, Un- lawtul deventiok and conversion o! property, the Judwe in this cage, declared to be wiilul injury to property, and, therefore, sai he lad no doubt the order Was properly granted, and beace should deny the motton to vacate, Counsel argued that though the gracing ot an orver is diserevionary, yet afver it has been granted by one jucge it can Dot properly be vacated oy another, without the Most urgent reasons.

An Interview with the Chief of Ameri- can Counterfeiters—Details of the Man- ufactur the Purchase of Paper, Presses and Machinery—Operations Extending to $200,000. Burvato, Oct. 12, 1874, It has long been known that among the moss successful of the many counterfeiters were parties who made their headquarters in this city and vicinity, the convenience of the Canadian hiding Place being of a spectal advantage to men who run such constant danger of detection, the punishe ment of whicn is very heavy. Notwithstanding every effort of the special detectives, however, | the sharp operators of our section managed to | elude discovery until @ few weeks since, when old Chief of Police, and now Inspector of Customs, David S. Reynolds obtained a clew, upon which he called for special assistance from headquarters, This yas farnished in the person of Gilbert b. city about the middie of September, and in con- junction with Mr, Reynolds, Specials Henderson and Curtin, bent nis energies to the work of un- earthing the rascals. It is unnecessary to follow the inittatory movements by which the shrewd operators were beaten at the game of hide-and- seek, and it is suMcient to state that once under surveillance they did not suspect it was but a question of time for their detection in an overt act, and this time occurred on the evening of the 80th ult, at Trenton, Mich., seventeen miles this side of Detroit, when Reynolds and Perkins “put the collar” on THB NOTORIOUS BEN BALLARD, alias Charles Marshall, alias —— Pun, and Lucas McGlue, alias —— Jones, alias Jobn Frink. Five hundred dollars in counterfett $10 Dilis on the Farmers and Manufacturers’ Bank of Buffalo were found onthem, The prisoners were conveyed to Detroit and locked up over night. Tne next morn- ing they were taken before United States Commis- sioner Davidson and held to bail in the sum of $7,000 each. Not being able to furnish the reqai- site security they were committed to prison, where they are now. THE BEST OP THE GANG. The officers returned to Buffaioand shadowed ‘with persistent vigilance the confdants of the caged pair until Thursday night last, when it was found that the time was right for a decisive blow, Tbe headquarters of the gang was @ small frame cottage on Ferry street, yust Tesh of jhe avenue, and about the dawn of Friday morniug-thig Was surrounded by a strong force of oMcers. Ox@ Of them knocked at tue door and demanded samissoly_A volce from the inside inquired, “Who's there?’ not opened, and, alter knocking again, nunce Wit given that unless the door was unciosed within a specified period, which was a very brief one, It Just as the threat was about to be putinto execution, @ man was seen to emerge from a window in the attic and, with the agility of a cat, to climb upon the roof. He was immediately recognized as the notorious Tom Ballard, brother to Ben, and known as the most expert counterfelter in this country. Instead of | obeying the summons to descend he started to Tun upon the roof the Rouse, but on consented to surrender, climbed down and was ickly ornamented with @ pair of bracelets. Taking their prisoner with them, they proceeded lowed were of the most gratuytng character to all concerned excepting the prisoners, The place proved to be acomplete counterfeiting estadiish- ment. In the atic were discovered a printing press, poh mill, paint stone and muller, patnts, oils, chemicals, plates stamp press, T upon watch to print the bill, and, im fact, all tle para | phernalia for carrying on the counterieiting | be busiuess on a large scale, Nor was this all, In | poxes and scattered about the place was the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN | COUNTBRFRIT BILLS, & portion of which was finished and ready for cir- culation, and the valance in process of completion, ‘The bilis Were of the denomination of tens, and of | the following banks :— Farmers and Manufacturers’ National Bank of | Buffalo. National Bank of Syracuse. National Bank of Watkins, N. Y, ‘The bills were so finely executed that it would be almost an impossibility, onc would think, to dis- Unguish them from the genuine. Ina room down stairs, the windows of which were Mtted with white curtains, 80 as to screen those within from the sight of shose without, and, at the same time, anord suficient light to the operators, was found & large quantity of chemicals, a quaniity of fibre paper, some finely finished engraving tools and a | table upon which the work Was done. Among the | engraved plates found were those jor the produc- | tion of bills of the following banks :— : Westchester County Nwtioual Bank, Peekskill, } wos.

The amount of spurious national currency put his gang Will, it 18 estimated, reach $200,000, wong other bills found was a good imitation of @ $5 pill of the Bank of British Norti America, which was a worked by Ballard’s gang, The house al8O contained several otner articles, suchias masks, &c., which were, no doubt, used by some member o1 the bana, With the exception of Ballard, the only person® Jound in the house were two women, one of whois {8 Ann Adams, aged sixty-fve years, an aunt of thé Ballards, and the other a stout young woman, whd gave her name as Eliza Ballard, aud who ¢laim: be the wite of Ben, They have been acting in the St H pacity of spies tor the gang, and are, no doubt, well experienced {0 the business, The party were con- | veyed to jail and locked up to await an examina- tion beiore United ptates Commissioner Scroggs. HOW THE “QUEER” Was DISPOSED OF. None of the spurious bills manufactured here Was “‘shoved’’ in this city, They were teken to | Fort brie and there soid to prominent parties, | who passed them through agents into the frente of the Dominion.

He escaped, however, vy breaking the bars, and since that time bas wandered about from piace to place, hunted at every step by the detectives, A standing reward of $6,000 being of- Jered for bis captare, dead or alive, would, , it appears, be sufficient w spur any officer to an attack, but ag it Is well known that Tom would not hesitate to use his revolver, it was an , undesirable job for most of the secret Service | men.
