The motion for an injunction and receiver in this case was argued yesterday before Judge Davis in Supreme Uourt, Chambers. This is the weil known case, the particulars of which have Sireagy Veen published in the HERALD, in which Mr. Eugene Kelly, the banker, to whom 50,000 shares of the Mariposa Land and Mining Company had been Piedged, alleged that Benjamin M. Stiiwel and others had congpired to render his stock worth- less by transierring to a new company, expressly @rgauized jor the purpose in California, the bulk Of the property of the Mariposa Land and Mining Company. The defendants, who were repre- sented by Mr. Stilwell and C, Bainbridge Smith, urged that it was now too late for the Court to interiere, as the convey. ance of the real estate to the Cailitornia | company had been made and the deeds placed on record bevore the temporary injunction | Was graute|. A detailed recitai was given 01 the | affairs of both companies. involving a compiicity | Of legal and other entanglements that would set | ig 4 whirt the strongest biaim 61 the astutest Philadelpnia lawyer, and which was certainly utterly bewildering to tne crowded concourse uf | listening lawyers present. Au effort was made t show that Mr. Kelly vad no standing, and b conduct in relation to the matters at issue wa cowmented upon with unsparing severity. Mr. A. | F. Smith, in answer, boidiy met the attack on Mr. | Kejly, aod a8 jor pis standing in Court, ne lu- sisted that no one was more yitully interested; that bis ciaim was both a just and equitable one, and that it was tue duty of the Court to prorect Bim in his effort to enforce through liti- gauon his rights, He osisted further that no consideration bat y.t been paid by the Calllornia company to the New York com- pany, because the stocg which the new company Was (0 issue io payment for tne Pe oted had not been delivered; that the stock, If seid to the Cail- fornia Company, aud that company’s stock paid in lew (hereoi, should be assessed in Caiioruia, hota collar of it ever wouid be received by the New Yorkers; that the certificates stil re- Mained in the possession of the deiendant Stil- weil, Who Was restrained by the injunction irom Parting with them; tuat the transaction was @ fraud 4od a cheat upon Mr. Kelly, aud that a ri ceiver shoul: appointed with power to attack | the conveyance of the property. | Afver tiie close of the reguiar argument some | @iscussion ensued in reierence to the various par- | ties proposed as receiver, woen Judge Davis touk | ‘the papers, reserving his decision. | THAT CASE OF CHAMPAGNE. Last week we reported in the Herat a case |, t ‘that came up in the United States Circuit Court Defore Judge Nathaniel! Shipman and a jury in ref erence to the importation of champagne. It was the case of F. De Barry & Co, va. Collector Arthur. The plaintiffs are extensive importers of champagne in this city, and not long since they importea @ quantity of this wine from France, on which the Collector assessed not only $6 per | aozen bottles, but also @ duty of three cents in addition for each bottle, To this latter duty the | Piaimtifls demurred. but the Collector insisted, and ibe piantitts pad the tax under provest. Thea | ibey vrought the present stut to recover the ex- | cons, Which smowis to about $3,000, Ou Moses Champetlain, a respectable iooXing gen- | tleman, was indicted for having, contrary to the provisions of a recent act of Congress, sent | through the matls a number of postal cards al- jezed to have written on them scurrilous :emurks | in allusion to one Aaron Van Valkenverg., Mr, A. H. Pardy, United States Assistait District At- | 9 torney, appeared on vLenau of the prosecution, | aod Mr. Chamberlain was defended by Mr. Wilham Fuilerton. Consideravie time was occupied in swearing @ jury. Alter the jury bad been procured | and sworn Mr, Purdy stated che case for tie prose- cutton, waich was, in effect, that Vau Vaikenberg ow-d @ sum of money to Chamberian, tor which the latter had recovered a jud ment, and that the judgmeng not being paid in full, only | teu per ceut Of It huving been © Llected, Chamber- | lain, as alleged, wrote the postal curdsin question | to Van Vaikeuvery, with the view, a8 claimed by | the government, of driving nim tuto the payment | of the Money. r. Purdy voserved that, DO mat- ter what might have been the dispute or quarrel between tnese two gentlemen, the jury couid take no cognizance of it. The omy question they had to deiermine was whether the ueiendant wrote ana mailed or caused to be malled the postal cards reierred to, Tne maus should not in this Mauner be made the vehicle ior tracucing the reputation of cluzens. At the close o! counsel's statement the Court adjourned until thts morn- ing, the Jndge cautioning the jury uot to allow any one to talk Lo them about the case, SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM, Decisions.

Mr. OWEN—Cnaerstand me; I do not make any accusation, but simpy do not wish to give rise to any confdenca in tivse maniiestations.
