MR. O’'CON OR’S LETTER. jews of Lawyers on the Issue Between Him “and the Court of Appea SOME UNFAVORABLE VIEWS. Wishing to place before its readers the seati- mentof the New York Bar on the arraignment of the Court of Appeals by Mr. Cnarles U’Conor on the guestien of its reversal of Judge Davis’ Gecision in Tweéd’s cise, inflicting cusulative Pewalties upon kira on his conviction on several coun's in one indictment, the HERALY yeste day Sent its reporter te qnestion sueh Jegal lignts as | could be found in tne city. Tuelr responses will be found below, VIEWS OF Mf. UA STTAPER Mr. Shafer said that the Court 0) Appeals should issue an order, retarnaole on the openisg of the court in September next, directing that O’Conor and Dayis should answer fpr comtempt of court, They should be fasd aad imprisoned, for itis the grossest insult everoffered to a court, and they should be made to suifer, “I cannot,’ said Mr, Shafer, “understand what could induce a maa like O’Conor to do such @ thing, unless It pe bitter. ness. He tried, certuimiy, to make bad law for a hard case, and, not being avle to succeed, te Burls his venom at the Court of Appeals.” REPORTER—DO you think the Court of Appeals Will go this? Air, SHAPER—I do not ece what else it can do; MW taust vindicae liself These men have castan imputation upon it, and suck things are !tabie to Weaken the faith of citizens in our high tribunals. Rerorrer—Do you know a precedent? Mr. SHAFER—Yes, sir; Judge Davis himself es- tablished it. During tae Tweed trial some half dozen lawyers of tnis city drew up and handed him a paper, requesting that he vacate the chair fund allow the trial to goon under some other judge, Judge Davis spevt a whole day in lectar- ing tuese gentiomen upon their awful crime, said It was contempt ef court, and fined some of tuem* $250 each, Rerorrer—Then you think the Court of Ap- Peais should fight wit the same weapons ? Mr. Suarer—t do, and unless these men are | Made to answer for this, the groasest contempt of court I ever knew, I beileve the Court will cer- tatnly lose caste, Rerorrern—What do you think of the Judges of the Court of Apneais? Mr, Suaren—l know them all, with one excep- tion, personslly, and | know them to be able, ponesi and upright men, and itis net for such lawyers as O’Conor and Davis to dispute their de- cisions, ReponteR—But Mr. O’donor is considered the heud of the New York Bar? Mr. Suarsr—Once he wasso considered ; I doubt U all lawyers tnink him so now. Reroxter—Is it not the general opinion of tho Bar thay the Court of Appeals, was right in 13 ruling ? Mr. Suarer-—All henest lawyers must think so. Teis our highest tribunal, and if faith in it is once Weakened we might as wellvive up. {£ consider tuis Court of Appeals the best we ever had, HON, STEWART L, WOODFORD'S VIEWS. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Wood/ord, in reply to ® query, sald:—"“While I bave read beth the opinion of the Court of Appeals and Mr. O’Conor’s letter, £ do not feel myself competent to express any decided opinion either us to the soundness of that opinton or as to the justice of Mr. O’Conor’s professional criticisms upon it. The subject is too grave for an off-hand, il-cénsidered answer to your question, Tue issue Is between our Court of last resort on the one band and the long time leader of our Bar on the other. Good citizens, and especialiy lawyers, should reflect carefully before they attempt | hastily to decide on such an issue. I believe that | the Court of Arpeals is composed of adie jurists | and honest men. They may have erred in this | jJudgmeaot, but 1 cannot believe that such error has been other than the honest and faithful dis- charge oi their duty as they understood it,” | Mi. JOHN DP, TOWNSEND answered the reporter’s query thus: Mr. U'Conor’s letter 18 a good one, It ougnt to be; | it ts long enough, I think the action of the Conrt of Appeuls just. If is our highest tribu- mal, and no inatier what kind of stulf its judges hei of, the Bar should respect their deci- | Rerorter—Then you do not agree with Mr. O’Conor in his argument in the Tweed case ? Mr. TowNsENd—Certainly not; but | am not prepared just now to argue the grounds upon whica Mr. O’Conor condemns the action of whe Court an@ upholds Jndge Davis’ action, EX-JUDGE CURTIS’ VIBWS, “I suppose to whe courts, readily accepted by all a8 conclusive of the right.

As to the law of the case, the Court was clearly right, and 1! he had required any argument to be convinced of the fact, Mr, O’Conor dtc self farmisped it in his brief relerred to, judge Gardiner has known Judge Allen, Who delivered the optuion in the cumuia- live senlence case, intimately for torty years, and @ more pure, conscientious and upright jurist does not jive.

K, Seiden was loath to speak and be Publicly quoted on such an unpleasant aubdject. ‘The law ol the case he had not louked into closely, and therefore would uot express an opinion upon it, But as to the character of the Court of Ap- peals, he would freely declare bis fullest indorse- ment ofit, He regards the Court as uosurpassed in ull the attributes of its appeliate oltice by any other court im tis country, and as not second in any respect to the Supreme Court of the United States, but ra:her ranking it, JUDGE SAMUEL L.

DANFORTH, Mr. Danforth regarded Mr, O'Conor’s letter as in Very bad taste and & gross preach of propriety. ‘fhe law of the case as laid down by the Vourt of Appeais conformed to his own judgment and, he believed he could say with conildence, to the juagment of the members of the Bar, The Court of Appeals, with Chief Jndge Church at its head, has never hac @ superior in this or aay other plate, lt was to be trusted, honored and sus- tulned, MR. COCHRANE, Mr. Cochrane was surprised to see such a letter proceed from & man Of Mr. O'Conor’s years and experience, its impropriety was beyond quese tion, The decision reversing the ruling and ac- tion of Judge Davis in sentencing Tweed to many penalties uuder one ingictment and trial was in accordance with his own views and with the Views Of the Bar at tne time sentence was passed, It was confidently expected, and had it been tho otier way the disappointment and surprise would have been general in legal circles, as to the character of the Court, it was impregnable to the assault made upon it, No better Court has ever existed in the Siate, Dor one which, individually and collectively, has enjoyed to @ greater degree the confidence of the Bench below, the Bar aud the people. MR. COGSWELL, Mr. Cogswell was shocked at the appearance of the whoily anjustidable letter of Mr, O’Conor, ‘That letter was the appeal of counsel from a de- cision of the appellate court, and a correct ae cision, tothe mob, It was against all propricty and without reason, The Court had deciared tho law under crimina: conviction as it is ana ought erence to the merits of the offender or the offence, Bur courts are jailivie tribunals, end if the Court of Appeals had, in its best and honestest juug- ment, decided the other way—decided wrongiy— 1:8 deci#ion would still be entitied to respect, There must bea final tribunal to the decrees of Which ail must bow ia suimuission, and he ts no friend of goud government who indulges in or counsels disrespect lor the Judiciary, Our goy- erament is composed of three departments— the Hxecutive, the Legislative and the Juul- cial.

The present Court of Appeals enjoys, and most wortilly enjoys, the respect and con. deuce of the jegul provession, and that confidence Cannot be shaken by attacks upon It at the hauds of any man or set of men.

HOW THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY TREATED THE SURVIVING PASSENGERS AVTER THE WRECK— INTERESTING YACTS FROM MR, LEO WESTE— AN EXTRAORDINARY BILL OF CHARGES—THE CAUSE OF THR WRECK~ CRIMINAL NEGLI- GENCE. PHILADELPDIA, July 20, 1875. One of the passengers on the fated Seniller, the German steamship of the Hagle Line whose ter- rible destruction on the Selily Isles many of our readers have only too good cause to remember, Was Mr. Leo Weste, of this city. His good fortune it was tobe among the very few saved, and he Owes lis preservation toa miracle almost. He is now in Pailadeiphia, whither he has returned to settle up dis afuirs preparatory to returning to Hanover, where he was born and where his father aud brothers reside, “1 have nothing but sor- row here,” he says; “why should I stay? My wife was torn frommy arms and Killed in the wreck. My daughter was swept from my side aud drowned. Ihave no ties here, nothing but sorrowful recollectious aud svenes which remind me of my dead wife aud daughter.” Mr. Weste is a large, fine looking man, of thirty years. When he tuok passage on the Sctuller hig | hair was jet black; now it is streaked with gray, ana his face bears the marks of the terrible svenes through which he hus passed. Ho 1s the son of a general in the German service, and is a horse trainer by profession, Mis brothers are officers in the German service, aud equerries and horse trainers tn the stabies of their royal master, He kept a restaurant, noted among downtown merchants, until his marriage with the lady so goon to be torn from him, and ts well known in this city. He has trained horses ior Barnum, Lent, O’Brien and other showmen ‘and clreus managers, He is a gentleman of intelligence and graphic story of the shipwreck. He first saw his daughter, acharming young lady well known itn Philadelphia, swept overboard and drowned. ‘Then his wile was kiiled in his arms, when he and she were thrown with the terrible force of a gigantic wave against the bulwarks of the sinking ship. She was instantly killed by a blow on the head which her husband could not shield her irom. After this loss he climbed into the rig- ging, whence ne dropped into the sca, to be picked up unconscious, bruised and nearly dead, by @ boat trom Selly. The story of the wreck has been told in these columns in the words of eye witnesses, but the manner in whicu the survivors were treated alter the occurrence has not been sufficiently investi gated. In view of this fact, therefore, the follow. ing particaiars, briefly compiled from the narra- Uve of Mr. Weste, may be of interest:— AFTER THE WRECK. When bis almost lifeless body was taken asnoro, it was coaveyed to the house of a fisherman, and here Mr, Weste awoke to cousciousness, All that the ageut of the steamship company did was to furnish the survivors with food, aad Nr. Weste Was indebted for ail the subsequent attentions he received to Mr, Dotrien Smith, the Governor of the islands, He was taken care of by this gen- tleman, Who provided nurses and had his bruises, which were serious aud painful, attended to by a surgeon, On the morning of tbe third day after tbe wreck, Tuesday, Mr. Weste was laid on pourds covered with cushions and carried to the fuueral | of his wile, Who: Body bad been washed ashore, and who was buried in the country churchyard separately from the other bodies, and wita less haste, because of the Governor's friendship for Mr. Weste. On Wednesitay morning he was sent On board & littie Ssieamboat by the agent, in com- pany With Olher surviving passelgers, and con. night. Piymouth aud then to London. | the rest also, progably, had not a cent of money, | every farthing of $10,000 which he had on the | steamer having been jost, tn London he was given some money by the agent of the company, how much he does not know, not understanding the value of English money very weil, and told that it was scficient to pay his passage to Ham- burg. In tilis he was WILFULLY DECEIVED by this official, as ne very quickly found, for the amount was just saficieut to carry him to Cologne, without permitting of ms purchasing any food onthe way. Vor all that he had to eat on this journey, Mr. Weste says, he was entirely dependent on the generosity o! his fel.ow passen- | gers Ou the cars, Who, a3 800M as they learned that he Was @ survivor of the Schiller, could not do too much for him, so that, 8o tar as comforts of this kind went, he had an embarras du riches, Had it not been for this good fortune he might have sturved, aud Mr. Weste dees not cousider that the steamship company deserve any credit for preventing his death by starvation ashore, alter his narrow escape irom drowning 10 ti waves, At Scilly he received the tollowtng bill, which is interesung. as showing how the misior- Thence they were conveyed by rali to ove BILL OF CHARGES, 0) Lrorp's AGkxey Orrtow, Sciuuy, May 11, 1878, Fra’s BANririy & Merchanis and » Agenis, Consulate tor Kussia, Italy, Portugal, Germany aad xXpenses burial of wile...

A humane system ot treatment, supported by a@ rigid disctpiine, Was superseded by a system of heavy iron rings, thumb screws, gags, manacles and fettera, ball and chain, kicks and cuffs, and similar devices of cruelty toward the prisoners, Tne result was a stern determination on the part of the prisoners to make A DASH POR LIBERTY on the first favorable opportunity, and, accord. ingly, the number of prisonera whe escaped dur- ing the past four montns was greater than the entire number that previously fled since tho estublisument of the institution. Within two weeks, ending the 13th inst, five prisoners escaped, tciuding the notorious desperado Radolph Pabud and James Cooley, who took the Pecans before marehing off to liberty to lock uu their keepers, 80 a3 Lo make immediate pursuit impossibie. The imprisoned keeper, McAnaliy, tired his revolver several times, but no assistance arrived for \uree-quarters of an hour, Post, the Warden, admits he heard the firing,’ but was afraid to venture down. Hayes, one of the deputy keepers, openly upbraided him wita cowardice, Rudolpk still holds possession of the keys of the Penitentiary, with which on some fine morning he may return, imprison the keepers and set his late fellow prisoners at Hberty. Whas makes the demoralizauion In this institution com. plete is the fact that thereis no harmony between the Warden and his deputies, but, on the contrary, constant jealousy and bickering. But it Was ony wien the Board of Freenelders at iheit last meeting passed a resolution curtail- ing the diet of the prisoners trom three to two meals a day that the prisoners became totally ex- asperated. Their work is very severe, and the lease that can ve expected is that they be fed pro- portionately ro the physical strain put apon them, Tae new ruie was putin force on Monday, but the DISCONTENT AMONG THE PRISONERS was not manifested til yesterday morning when agang of men was ordered out to work on the layiog of tie new pipe on tne county road. Tae Whole gang promptly retused and thé keepers ate tempted to compelthem, ‘The result was a band to hana encounter. For aquarier of an hour sue siluation was alarming. The keepers dnally succeeded in overpowering the staubvorn prison- ers and lodging them in their cells, Had the prisoners access to weapons of any kind, many, if not all, would have escaped. An order was thea issued that all the prisoners should be * loc up for the day, and Warden Post, accompanied by Freeholder Curran, repaired to Jersey City to consult with Director Young, who i3 responsible for the resolution cur- tailing the diet of the prisoners, SheritY Laverty, With a stail of deputies, remained tn readiness up to a late hour Jast evening to render assistance ia case any lurther attempt at revolc was made, An investigation into the inhuman treatment of tle prisoners was to have taken place on Tues- day, but two of the committee, Messrs. O'Reilly and Meinken, refused" to appear, and no investi- gation took place. Great indignation pre- vailg over the action of these members, Mr. Wickham, chairman of the committee, has called another meeting of the committee for to-morrow at noon, and, wiether the aforesaid gentlemen be preseut or not, the investigauion will proceed. When one of the prisoners was remonstrated with by a keeper on his conduct he replied—"Kick us and put us in irons, but no Starvation, Unless you leed us, we wou’t work,’ ESCAPE OF A PRISONER. Yeaterday afternoon Charles Dougherty, who | was serviag out @ sentence of six months for | breaking out of the Penitentiary at Cald- well, N. J., again made his escape. Some repairs are going On at present in the Jail, which gave him the desired opportunity, He be: tovk Limself to the Woods in the vicinity, where he waa met by two women, who furnished him witaa change of clothes, Parsult was made by the officers, bus upto the present he hus not been captured. A SING SING SENSATION, THE MURDERER OF HOGAN IN THR ROLE or A LUNATIC-~SINGULAR ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE— |. TERRORISM AMONG THE CONVICTS, Since the murder of Edward Mogan by Jobn Riedy in Sing Sing Prison on the 26h ult., the ac cused convict nas proven himself a puzzle to «many of the ofMcial® in that institu. tion, Als manner, which at first was hat of an affected<simpieton, has lately cbanged to what now must be termed either real orsima@lated imsanity; and thiy is precisely tho point that bas not yet been determined in the minds of the keepors. If Riedy is attempting ihe role of a iunatic, for the purpose of escaping , the consequences of bis alleged tearful crime, ne is evidently overdoing his part; although at night wien he ig either making the otherwise qaie! corridors of the prison resound with hig ludeous yells, or sobbing aloud for hours to- gether, as though his heart would break, {tis diticult for the listener to believe that the miserable man’s mental system is not materially | disordered, A day or two ago hoe ripped open his mattress, and having crawled into the averiure almost succeeded in suffocating uim- | self before ie was accidentully discovered by some one who looked into his cell. Ie has also, within the past few days, esaayed sel/-destraction by setting Ure to the bed on which he lay. Anothe: favorlie pastime with tae immured con. | yict la that of STANDING UPON HIS BRAD in a state of nudity in bis cell, Altuough Warden Walker takes a lenient view of Ricdy’s wsubordty nate conduct, he believes that tue man is per- | fectly sang, OWiug to a system of terrorism in yorue among the jailbirds, there is now some doubt of the State being avie to bring the requisite witnesses before the next Grand Jnry to secure the indictment of tne alleged murderer, Al- ready the convicts who testified at tne coroner’a faquest as to the killing of | Hogan fave become marked men among | their fellows, Not many days since one of them, | named Waliace, was set upon by some three or four otber convicts and before being rescued was severely Stabbed in several places, Some me! bers of the marderous gang wao assailed tim are still Undergoiig punishment ior thew offerce, | Olwers Of Lue Wiinesses have been BRUTALLY MALTREATED | for the same Cause, A communication was re- ceived yesterday by Warden Walker, irom an eye- Wituess to tue marder, ia Which he Sets forth the well grouad:a apprenension that, if he testifies against Riedy and is alterward compelled to con- sort with the other convicts, his ie j will, ‘not be worth ten cents.’ Tho conditions on which aione, he states, he can, with saicly to himself, give evidence agaings Riedy, are thatthe Wardeu shall pledge himsell to secure wis pardon and that le shall be Kept securely locked ; in @ cell night and day peuding his possible | speedy release [rom prison.
