8 “THE COURTS. Important to Pilots and Captains of Steamers, INTERESTING WILL SUIT. SENDING SCURRILOUS POSTAL CARDS THROUGH THE MAILS. GWAR MANUPACTURE---L QUESTION OF RBVBNUB. When the Kelly-Waterbary libel saft was called up yesterday morcing im Sapreme Court, bers, beiore Judge Brady, om the motion to strike out portions of the answer, Mr. Waterbury stated thal he was not ready to goon Im the absence o/ his counsel, and asked to have it placed at the head Of to-day’s calendar. Judge Brady said he could not furnish counsel with springs to jump over Other cases, The application was not pressed. Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, yester- day confirmed the report of the Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment in the matter of laying, out, widening and straightening Kingsbridge Toad, between 155tn street and Harlem River. Yesterday morning the case of Carl Vogt was ealied on before Commissioner Kenneth G. White for decision on tne point raised by counsel for the defendant that the matter should be re- Mitted to some other Commissioner, Mr. White Raving already passed on the merits. Commis- Boner White said he saw nothing to disqualify Dim irom again examining into the charge against the prisoner, who bad been arrested in & legal manner ander hie warrant. He did not see how he could remit the examination to another Commissioner unless he were to dismiss the com- Plaintaltogether, and tuis would necessitate the issuing ofa new warrant and a new complaint. He therefore decided to proceed with the exami- Ration, The case was then set down for the 22d inst. Mie. Leoni Juvin, who is charged with having BMugeled fifty silk dresses into this port from France, was brought up for examination yester- day morning before Commissioner Sbtelds. Mr. Post, United States Assistant District Attorney, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Joseph Bell for the defendant. On the application of counsel | for the deiendant the examination was adjourned | Untill Saturday next at twelve o’ciock. } Among the indictments jound by the Grand Jury | ofthe General Sessionson Weduesday was one against Samcel Shapter, the proprietor of the Metropolitan Theatre, tor keeping “a disorderly house.” The charge really is for running the *‘can- can.” The defendant appeared yesterday morn- | ing and gave bau to answer the charge. IMPORTANT PILOTAGE CASE. Brewer vs, Sadier, et al—The plaintif, a ll- eensed pilot, brings this action against the cap- | tain ana consignees of the steamer State of | Indiana to recover pilotage fees, under the law | ‘Which entities the first pilot offering his services to compensation, whether such servicea are ac cepted or not. He testified that while cruising Jor vesseis on the 234 of October last, about 175 | miles out, and of Nantucket Shoals, he discoy- | ered the smoke of a steamer some ven or twelve | miles of; that.ne immediately ran a signal to the | Masthead and shaped a course to the northwest | #0 as to cut her off; that his boat, the Wililam 4H, Aspinwall, No. 21, got within half a mile of the | steamer, woich was discovered to be the State of | Indiana, from Glasgow; that a second signal of “Do you want @ pilot !’’ Was then run up to the ' peak and the steamer hailed, pat at notiume was j response received, the vessel continuing on her course. A number of the piaintf’s associates ve similar evidence. Oa the partof tue de- | ce, while it was adimiited that this was tne | Sirst pilot offering, the chic! oMcer and ove of the | pansengers depied that the boat got nearer to them than seven or eight miles at | any time, the captain testiiying tnat his custom was to make for a pilut when not More than four points off his how; that | this one when discovered was a point off ine | Deam, and at too great a distance for him to ais- cover whether it was a New York pilot or belonged to some other of the eight or ten ports then mearer to him than this. He stated further that when iorty miles from Sandy Hook he took pilot, to whom he paid fall ‘off shore” iees. De. yendant’s counsel moved for a dismissal of the complaint on the grounds that the State of New York nad no authority to legisiate upon the sab- | ject of pilot laws oniy as lar as they apply to neighboring waters, and could not compel a for- wn vessel to submit to its jurisdiction ata dis- tance of 180 miles irom port; that there was 10 offering of services by plaimtiff or refusal by de- Jendants wituin the meaning of the act, and that the Captain’s inability to diecover that piain- ud was a New York piict anu his subsequentiy taking one are suificient deiences to this claim. Juage soachimsen tcok the papers, and aiter ex- amipation rendered a judgroent in pialMtill’s iavor for ihe full amouut claimed. BARTHOLEMEW BLANCO’S WILL.

Several policemen ana numer- ous citizens swerved him trom side side but did wot et him forward. The oMicer deciared that the extent of hiscruelty toward the horse went no further than to strike him on the legs with & stoall rattan, Koundsmau Lester Lewis, who was off duty on the day, came to the place of struggle in citizen’s dress, He aided the other oMcers, and finally, as he is an excellent bareback ri got upon the horse to press him on, amid the thusiasm of the spectators, Mr. Bissell saw Lewis titillating the ribs of the horse with his heels, and, having been moved before by the switching given to the legs of the animal, he now was a by his feelings to make a protest, He told Oficer Pratt to arrest the tniamous brute who was on the back of the horse, and imiormed that there was present a roundsman on duty, who must order the oficer before he could make an arrest.

The Ex-Boss Still ‘Fighting Against His Sentence. i THE PROCEEDINGS ~ YESTERDAY. Willlam M, Tweed, accompanied by Warden Lis- comt, appeared in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner yesterday, in obedience to tne writ of habeas corpus issued a tewdays ago by Judge Lawrence. There was no demonstration of an- usual interest in the proceedings by the public. The court room was mot crowded, tnough every seat was occupied. Mr. Tweed tooked in remark- ably good health, and It was the observation of many who have known him ever since be was a public man, that they never saw bim in better physical condition, @ circumstance which they at- tributed to the present enforced reguiarity of bis life and the salubrity of the air of the Island. He occupied a seat behind his counsel and was eur- rounded by several of his relatives ana friends, notable smong whem were Mr. William M, Tweed, Jr. Richard Tweed, Foster 8. Dewey and Mr. Charlies Deviln. He conversed ta low tones and confidentially with these gentlemen, and throughout the short. pro- ceedings in Court manifested that quict, calm and firm demeanor that characterized mim in the old days, There was, however, wanting that Jook of defant confidence inseparable from the. expression of his countenance in the palmy time of Tammany rule. 1t was clear from the keen in- terest In and his anxious listening to the objec- sions raised by bis lawyers tnat bia hope of speedy: liberty 13 founded in the belie! that the uncertain- ties of the law will be ultimately his deliverer from bondage. On the adjournment of the hear- ing of the case to Tuesday morning next Mr. Tweed, with his counsel, bis sons and Warden Liscomb, retired to the private room of the Judge, and there he held @ confidential conversation with his senior counsel, David Dudley Fiela and ex-Judge Comstock, Mr. Foster Dewey being an attentive listener. Mr. Tweed during this conver- sation had put on his overcoat and his hat, which Was a low crowned felt, one of the fall style. This gave Dim # much younger Jook than the lofty silk hat, which is his usual wear. When his counseb left him and Warden Liscomb linged his arm in his his countenance showed that ne had a realiz- ing sense that he was notafree man. Ashadow of sadness fell upon nis face, and he walked along the corridors of the court to tae front entrance of the Court House, in Champers street, where his own carriage was awaiting him, Before the door was closed his sons shook hands with him and bid him “good bye,” and the ccachman turned the horses’ heads toward Ceatre street, and he and the Warden were driven to the Penitentiary. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT, Mr. Tweed’s counsel were present in full force— Ex-Judge Comstock, David Dudley Field, Joba Burrill, William Bartlett and Eupu Root, Districe Attorney Phelps and Wm. H. Peckham appeared on behalf of the people. With ail this array of counse!, however, anu notwithstanding wnat Ten- nyson says in “Maud Muller” about Weary lawyers, with endless tongues, the taik this time was brief and did not touch at all upon tie merits of the case as they are to be hereatter presented, Mr. Field said they had come into Court on @ writ of habeas corpus, granted on the petition of William M. Tweed. He asked that the Warden of the prison, whom he saw in Court, make his return. Mr. Phelps said the Warden had produced the body of the person named in the indictment, but the’ petition was a repetition of tnat used on a former occasion, when the Court granted the writ, He moved that the present writ be dismissed. Mr, Field said he wanted am explicit answer to his question, Was there areturn? Was a judge to quash the writ of another without any return be- at mene id he had thi tition. ir. Phelps said he had the pe . Mr. Field replied that he had no such thing in ‘er- Court. It did not beiong to the Oyer and | miner, but to the Judge to whom it was addressed. Mr. Phelps tnen produced a paper which ne said was a return annexed to the wri Mr. Field promptly handed in a traverse to the return, of whicn the following ts a copy:— TRAVERSE TO THE REIURN. et 7, City and Lounty of New York. hi of William M, Tweed against nswer of William M. ‘Tweed te Liscomb made to the writ of Wiiliam M, sweed says and avers:— ig no record of the judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction which in terms author- izes or purports to authorize the issuing of the pretended pay d of commitment, a copy whereof is annexed ta said return, ‘Seoond—That there is no record of the judgment of any ¢ w or fact did or does authorize the Issuing of the said warrant of com- utment, Third—That the court from which the said warrant of commitment annexe to the said resurn purports to have been Issued had no jurisdiction nor power to try the atleged misdemeanors mentioned in the said war- Fant of commitancat, Fourth—that the fog sok jury by whom this relator is alleged in the sala warrant to hive been tried and convicted was Dotempanelied xccorting to the taw of the land—was not a lawful jury, and had no jurisdiction or power to satd supposed offences or to render any ¥ordict ting the samme. jth—Tnat the ailcged judgment, in execution of which the said pretended warrant of commuitinent was issned, was and is absulutely vod for want of jurisdic- tion to render the sume.
