e . IMPORTANT ASSESSMENT REVIEW. 10 THE COURTS. The Park Theatre---Judge Donohue’s Opinion of the Seizure. ‘ “A FRAUD AND AN IMPOSITION.” Assessment Review--Important to Property-Holders. Tho little unpleasantness growing out of th by the Sheriff, under a warrant of attachment, afew nights since, of the Park Theatre furniture, on account of the alleged failure of William Stuart, manager of the theatre, to pay a note given to Hertz & Co, for the same, continues to be a subject of inquiry in the courts, but with the prospect, however, of the matter being | speedily brought toa judicial termination, A hearing was had yesterday before Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, on the order to show cause why the attachment should not be continued. About all that | ‘was done was the submission of counter affidavits, which, of course, as usual in such cases, were quite con- fiicting in their statements. Mr. W. J. Marvin appeared as counsel for Mr. Stuart and Mr. Scribner tor Herta & Co, First in order were submitted, on behalf of Hertz & o., the affidavits of Deputy Sheriff Patrick Campbell and his assistants, who deny that the seizure and removal were conducted with violence. In levying a former attachment against the same defendant Camp- Dell says he was met with threats of resistance, and in | consequence he took with him on this occasion a suf- ficient force to preserve the peace and effect a quiet removal, and no profano language was used except by the defendant’s business man, Mr, Chandos Fulton, who called the Sherift’s officers “damned scoundrels.” The affidavits of Mr. Hertz and others recite that the defendant asked credit for the goods and was refused. He then gave a check, dated ahead, and on that the | goods were delivered, Ho subsequently gave another check, and both were refused, when pre-sented for payment, on the ground that defendant had no funds in the bank. When pressed for payment de- fendant said that his theatre was not paying, and that af he was pressed he would sell out, and his creditors could get uothing. When the attachment was levied Mr. Fulton said it would make a first class advertise- ment for the house. He also said, “Take all the things | and be damned,” and then turned off the gas, and the | Sheriff's officers were obliged to send for candles. Mr. W. J. Florance, the actor, arrived before the removal, and re- fused an offer of the agent of plaintiff's attorney to | withdraw the attachment and assign the claim to him | if he gave his check for the amount. Numerous afli- davits were also read to the effect that the defendant, ‘William Stuart, is a resident of New London, Conn; ‘that he owns a house there and liad shove At this stage Judge Donohue remarked that he would Bear the other side on the question of non-residence; ‘Dut as to the checks, he thought that when a man ob- tains an attachment against another on the ground of | fraud in the purchase of goods, and omits to state | that the check on which the goods were de- livered was dated ahead, which of itself showed | the drawer had no present funds, 1t was an outrage on the Court, At first he thought the suppression of thas fact in the affidavit on which the attachment was ted was accidental; now he thought it was de hberate. Counsel for plaintiff replied that the man who gold his goods C. 0. D., and received in payment ‘worthiess checks on a bank where the purchaser had | no funds for three months, was represented as a sort of culprit. But the fact was the defendant was a non- resident, and had declated his intention to plaintiff of seiling the goods, and on this fact plaintiff relied. As to the omission in the affidavit, the plainuif, Mr. Hertz, did pot kuow that it made any dilference whe- ther it was a time check or not. “Ob, well, never mind,” said Judge Donohue, ‘the ought to know that the defendant gave him atime check instead of cash for some reason.” “The gentleman did not know,” replied counsel, “that it made any difference whether it was atime check or pot.’? ‘ounsel for Mr. Stuart then read affidavits showing that tor twenty years past Mr. Stuart has been a resi- dent of this city, and not a resident of New London, Conn., and that be merely owned a house in the latter | eaty on which he paid taxes. Counsel urged, after read- | ‘ng these affidavits, that Mr. Stuart and his fricnds ‘were better judges where he resided than tax coliectors or other officials giving simple testimony ag 9 assess ments upon his prope:ty; and further, ‘thal ihe Con- Mecticut officials had no more right to describe him as a citizen of that State than the plaintiff's attorney im this | action. No citizen of New York would be safe if he gould be made a citizen of another State in that off- | hand fashion, because, for instance, he had a country | ‘Fesidence in Newport or Rockaway. Judge Donohue remarked that the only point worthy of inquiry in his view was that relutmg to non-resi- dence, and that this was the only point he would pass stag He then took the papers, reserving his deci- Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, yes- terday signed twenty four orders to vacate assessments for last year, and granted a new trial in each case, The | assessments were:—For laying crosswalks in West and Leroy streets; for setting a basin on Thirtieth street; for laying a crosswalk on Broadway; for setting the curb on Sixty-first street; for crosswalks on Twenty- ‘third street, opposite a Presbyterian church; for flag- ging Broadway, between Fifty-first and Fifty-nintl streets; for flagging Eighth avenue, between Fity-third and 160th streets; for paving Sixth avenue, be- ‘tween Forty-second and Fifty-ninth streets; for ‘crosswalks in Ann street; for flagging Thirteenth street, from No. 415 to avenue A; tor flagging Fifth avenue, ‘Detween Forty-third and’ Sixtieth streets; for flagging Fifty-sixth street, between Eighth avenue and Broad- oway; for flagging Fifty-sixth street, between Seventh avenue and Broadway; for curbing 114th street, be- ‘tween First avenue and avenue A; for flagging Fifty- ‘first street, between Broadway and Eighth avenue; for baying & crosswalk in Broadway; for crosswalks mm rd avenue and 105th strect; for crosswalks in West treet, hear Houston; for setting curbs in Washington near Reade street; for setting curbs in West street, between Chambers and Canal streets; for setting curbs in Forty-seventh street, between Eightk avenue ‘and Broadway; for flagging Forty-seventh street, be- tween Third and Fifth avenues; for curbing and gutter- ing Eighty-third street, between Third and Fifth ave ues, and for crosswalks in West street, near Dey. EX-CONTRACTOR BROWN’S WILL The contestea will of John L. Brown, formerly a con tractor for cleaning the streets of New York, was called up before Surrogate Hutchings yesterday for the purpose of taking further testimony. The will left the estate to Hannah E. Brown, who claims to be the widow of the testator, and to John L. Brown, Jr., her son by the late contractor. The con- ‘testant is Mary Ann Brown, who claims to be the ar- tual widow of the di by virtue of a marriage mever annulled. She testified that Brown was never le- gally divorced from ber and was not legally mar- fied to Hannah, She charges further that Hannah obtained the will making herself and son legatees under the will by undue influence, the testator being at the time mentally in- competent toexecute such an instrument, Further, ‘that she left bim because of his relationship with Han- mah, but that Brown provided for her after their separation and that he was always kind to her, at one ‘time thereafter embracing her when they met on the public street. George Martin, a nephew of the deceasnd, testified that immediately before the time when the will was executed the testator sustained severe injuries, which affected his brain aud made him | a to fits, The witness admitted, on cross-examination, that Brown | to be fully able to attend to his Business. ti ‘urtuer heating was adjourlied until Thursday at | DECISIONS.

On the appheation of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents Judge Donohue granted yester- day injunctions restraining William Cramer, J. W. Meck and others, of Nos. 46‘and 48 Bowery, and Paul Bauer, of No, 8 Bowery, from giving theatrical performances until they pay the license fee, Judge Donohue granted a habeas corpus yesterday, on the petition of Willian J, Ree, charged with negotiating forged bonds of the Oregon and California Railroad, whose bail was reduced from $10,000 to $5,000, but who can only give $2,500. The case of Constantine Schnerr, formerly a United | States gauger, now charged with abstracting liquors from casks before gauging them, was brought before | United States Commissioner Shields yesterday. Coun- sel on both sides completed summing up. Decision re- served, Judge Wallace will hold United States Circuit Court in this city on October 18, Judge Blatchford will sit in the United States District | Court on October 2 to hear motion, and will open the | regular term in Admiralty on October 5, Some time since suit was commenced by the United States District Attorney against Chartes Barnum to re- cover moneys alleged to have been obtained fraudu- lently from the United States government under the pretext that certain articies of clothing furnished by Barnum to the Marine corps was in conformity with bis contract Suit bas been commenced by United States District | Attorney Bliss against Robert & Allen, a New York | clothier, to recover $12,000, alleged to have been ob- tained from the United States Treasury under similar | alleged circumstances, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Before Recorder Hackett, STEALING A GOLD WATCH, Solomon W. Solomon was tried upon an indictment | charging him with stealing a gold watch and clothing, valued at $90, the property of Herman Brummell. The evidence of guilt was so clear that the jury rendered a yerdict of guilty. His Honor sentenced Solomon to the State Prison for three years at hard labor. ACQUITTED, him with acting in complicity with two others in steal- | have not issued u patent to the company are made defendants, were about to proceed to the collec. tion of those taxes by seizing and selling the locomo- tives, cars and rolling stock generally of the company, withother personal property. They say that the lands were not liable to any State taxation avthe time of the assessment or levy, and they pray that these treasurers who are made defendants may be enjoined from further Proceedings for their collection, The grounds on which this exemption is claimed may be divided into three distinct propositions, some of which are applicable to all the lands and others to only part of them :— 1, That by the third section of the act of 1862, under which the company was organized, and by which the lands within the ten-mile limit were granted in aid of the construction of the road, it was provided that all such lands as should not be sold within three years after the entire road shall have been completed shall be subject to settlement and pre-emption like other lands ata price not to exceed $1 25 per acre, to be paid to the company, and it is alleged that these lands are liable to this pre-emption, which would be defeated by a sale of them for the taxes, 2. That by the amendatory act of 1864, which ex- tends the grant to twenty miles on each side of the Toad, it is provided that before any of the land granted shall be conveyed to the company there shail first be paid into the Treasury of the United States the cost of ng, selecting and conveying the same, by said Y, and that, these costs not having been paid, a sale for taxes would defeat the mght of the United States to enforce this claim and recover their expenses out of the Innds. 3. That under the joint resolution of April 10, 1869, authorizing the President to appomt a commission to inquire into the manner in which the road had been coustructed, and, if the report was unfavorable, to take steps to secure its proper construction, the Secretary had refused to issue patents for these lands, withholding the title as security for the performance of what was required in that respect. By the decision of the Court on these points the de- cision in the railway company vs. Prescott (16 Wall, 608) is modified and overruled so fur as it asserts tho contingent right of pre-emption in lands granted to the Pacific Railroad Company to constitute an exemp- tion of those lands froin State taxation, but aflirmed so far as it holds that lands on which the cost of survey have not been paid, and for which the United States empt from State taxation, but where the government has issued the patent the landsare taxable, whether payment of those ex-costs has been made to the Luited States ornot, Reversed. Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opinion, John Lynch was tried upon an indictment charging | rum si. CLOUD-POLLAKD CASR—A LUNATIC SHOULD NoT KEEP A HOTEL, ing a case containing tooth and nail brushes, valued at $760, which was consigned to Mills & Co., No, 255 Pearl street, from a French house. The goods were stolen from the sidewalk of a bonded warehouse. Mr. | Kintzithgdefended the accused, and made every techni- | cal objection that could be adduced to the proof offered | by the prosecution. The District Attorney failed to rove What the box contained, and a witness named artin was unable to positively identify Lynch, A ver- dict of not guilty was rendered. ? | John Matthews was charged with stealing a pair of diamond earrings and two diamond rings, Ee at t was shown that the complainant was under the influence of liquor at the time she lost the property, and as the proof was only circumstantial aguinst Matthews the Jury acquitted him, George Morlatt and James Springstein were also found not guilty of a charge of stealing about $220 trom | the schooner Jordan Wooley, on the 20th of August, be- | longing to Edward W. Irving, who was a produce dealer, from New Jersey.. The detendants proved excellent character, and, as other parties had access to the boat, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty without leaving their seats. James Quinn, charged with receiving $25 which was ‘olen from the drawer of Michael Wachtel’s store by Cornelius Fanton, was also declared not guilty. POLICE COURT CASES. | James Johnson, of No. 100 Mott street, was com- mitted for trial at the Tombs on a charge of stealing a roll of cloth, valued at $42, from the store of William J. | Schlossin, of No, 203 Church street. John Thubn, a German, was held at the Tombs yes- | terday to answer a charge of robbing the safe of the restaurant, corner of Battery place aud West street, of $383. Michael Ryan, aJersey farm laborer, and Henry Hohl, who keeps an oyster saloon at No. 189 Greenwich street, | quarreled on Monday night, and Hohl, as is alleged, | took an ifon bar and struck Ryan several blows on the | head, injuring him severely, Hohl was held at tho | Tombs Court to answer. A woman named Hannah Donovan was arraigned at the Washington Place Police Court yesterday on a charge of stealing a pocketbook containing $83 from Mr. Edward D.

The plaintiff was dismissed about the 4th of October. Oa this testimony the Court was asked by dk t to instruct the jury that even if the notice ot iy 11 had been wholly withdrawn the subsequent novice of September 19 was in legal effect a renewal of the former notice, and of itself operated to terminate said contract at the expiration of thirty days from its date. Assuming, as the bill of ex- ceptions Seems Lo show, that the date of the notice of September 19 was the date of its service on plaintiff, we think the Court erred in refusing this prayer, Re- versed. BOARD OF POLICE, WHAT THE COMMITTEE ON CBIMZ ASK—THE INDIGNATION OF DISBECKER, The full Board of Police Commissioners met yester- day, President Matsell in the chair, A communication from the Automatic Telegraph Company, to connect their system with the telegraph system of the Police Department, was referred to the Committee on Rules and Discipline, Deputy Chief*Clerk Kipp read the following letter | fram John D, Townsend, counsel to the Assembly In- ‘vestigating Committee: — New York, Sept. 17, 1875, To the Commsstonxers or Pouce :— « —One of the greatest obstructions to a full and thorough examination of the matter which the Assembly Committee on. Crime has to contend with is the fear whi complainants have that they will lose their positions or be otherwise injured should they present themselves as wit- nesges before the committee. This apprehension is found to exist especially among those who state grievances against the Potice Department. If you, a§ u Hoard, would give publicity to an assurance upon’ your part that'you would protect all witnesses as well acainst complainants for not having first disclosed ther charges to the Police Department, ou the part of olllcers in the Police Department, the committee feel quite confident that they will be better able to fulfil the trust witleh is im- posed upon them, ‘OUN D. TOWNSED i Counsel to the Committee on Grime, by order of the Committee. DISHECKER’S WRATH. Mr, Disbecker arose to usk for information. Was the letter a committee document or simply one from Mr, Townsend personally? If the former he would willingly vote for a resolution remedying the matter ; if the lat- ter he would not. He had in his posession evidence to show the manner by which Mr. Townsend obtained testimony—the manner in which he purchased it from witnesses. He (Disvecker) had learned from an officer connected with this department that Mr, Townsend had asked him (the officer) if he was ‘‘a friend to Dis- becker,” saying at the same time that hoe (Townsend) © wanted all the evidence —_—he could get together against him — (Disbecker). The Commissioner had also understood, from good au- thority, that Mr. Townsend had resorted to unprofes- sional practices in the examination of witnesses—first ascertaining the purport of their testimony, and, when finding it favorable to the police, subjecting the witness to irrelevant questions, drawing out foreign matter.and keeping their real testimony in the background. Commissioner Smith, in reply, stated that he had been waited upon by the chairman of the Assembly Committee, who had told him substantially what was contained in the letter, and had also informed him that the committee had instructed Mr. Townsend to make the request. Commissioner Voorhis then offered the following reso- lution, which was adoptod, all voting 1m the atflrma- tive:— Resolved, That the Board of Police Lachine’ assare the Assembly Committee on Investigation of Crime that it will cheerfally protect, by ail means within its power, from per- secution or annoyance on the part of the policd, witnesses who inay appear and ggive testimony before said committes. ‘The following officers were dismissed from the depart ment:— Peter Masterson, Seventh precinct; George T.

HOW SOME HUSBANDS AND WIVES HAVE LIVED IN THE CITY OF CHURCHES. ‘Yesterday the case of Smith W. Post against his wife Frances, née Baker, was called before Justice Semler, Owing to the illness of the defendant, however, the ex- amination was postponed until Friday, Mr. Post, who is a milkman, about thirty years of age, was married to Mrs, Post January 5, 1866. She was then an attractive girl of eighteen years, Owing to jealousy—whether well founded or not at the time does not appear—he separated from her a few months after marriage. For five years he did not contribute to her support. An- drew Mitchell, a young man who admired the ‘grass widow,” wooed and won her at the end of that period, They were married on September 15, 1872 After a few months of married life he, too, deserted Frances, On the 8th ot April, 1873, at the instigation of a suitor for her hand named Charles Curtis, Mrs, Post-Mitchell mmeneed an action for divorce from husband No. 1, Smith Post, in the Supreme Court, New York. Before ecision was rendered, however, she was united in marriage to Curtis, The third and last husband, who is young and reputed to be wealthy, has, it is said, taken his departure from Brooklyn since the institu- tion of proceedings for bigam: DESERTING HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. About eight years ago Timothy Conners, of No. 12 Vanderbilt avenue, who was then but twenty years of age, was wedded to Agnes Miller, who was at that time in her fifteenth year, Their oldest child is a boy of six years, The husband is employed in the New York Post Office, and man and wife have dwelt happily together, seemingly, until within the past few months. Conner’s jealousy Was first aroused by his wife’s liking to {re- quent picnics alone. About two weeks ago, upon his return from his duties in New York, he found that she was absent, and was apprised of the cause upon receipt of the following note, by mail:— . Dean Trm—Goodby.

Snit was instituted in the City Court, before Justice Neilson, yesterday, by Mrs, Fanny Lowenthal against her husband, Louis, for a limited divorce, on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. The parties wero married in 1845, and lived together till 1874. The hus- band alleges that Mrs, Lowenthal has cruelly treated him, and produces a witness who swears to having seen her upon one occasion with her hand clenched in his hair, and also to haying seen her threaten him with an iron'weight. The case is still on. ENOCH ARDEN IN BROOELYN. Mrs. Ann Dewey, asmall and by no means prepos- sessing woman, was committed to the Penitentiary by Justice Walsh, yesterday, for thirty days, upon convic- tion of malicious mischief, Her case is a remarkablo one. Eight years ago John Dewey, who isa seafaring man, a native of Sweden, was married to the prisoner, whose maiden name was Murphy. While he was al sent on a voyage for two years and three months his | wife heard that he had gone down to ‘Davy Jones’ locker,” and, considering herself, “heart and fancy free,” she married a young man hamed Burke, The Jong absent mariner, upon his return from the ocean, was naturally surprised to find his place usurped by another, but, taking the matter philosophically, ho kept aloof, Burke died shortly after his return and he then took his wife to bis bosom, Shortly after their reunion she indulged in intemperate habits, and a bill of separation was drawn up between them. He gave her all his household effects and the custody of the child, She eubsequently sold her furniture, and, when under the influence of liquor, attempted to destroy the property of the purchaser, which act led to her arrest, BURGLARY IN BROOKLYN. About two o’clock yesterday afternoon a sneak thief burst open the front basement door of the resi- dence of Mr. Wetmore, No. 273 Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn, and, having secured $300 worth of jewelry, decamped. Mrs. Wetmore, who entered her house as the fellow was making his exit by the rear door, describes him as being about five feet three inches in height, with black mustache, felt bat, blue coat, and two scars vnder his right eye, THE LATE ROBERT C. BELVILLE. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—A PERTINENT IN- QUIRBY. ‘Trextox, N. J., Sept. 21, 1875. At the opening of the United States District Court for the State of New Jersey in this city to-day, which was attended by a large delegation of the most prominent lawyers in the State, District Attorney A. Q. Queasby offered a preamble and resolutions in reference to the death of the late Clerk of the court, Captain Robert C. Belville, which were atopted. It willbe remembered that Mr. Belvillo lost bis life by drowning in the North River. The question is often put in this city:—Why do not the New York authorities institute an investigation into the manner in which Mr. Belville met his death, and inquire as to the treatment his body received after it was found? Grave charges ‘were made against the captain of the steamer Bristol and some of the members of the New York police, in reference to Mr. Belville’s death, but nothing has been done to give his aiflicted family, bis friends and the public the least satisfaction. THE SCHUETZEN FESTIVAL, ‘The attendance at the new Schuetzen Park, at Green- ville, yesterday, was even greater than that of the pre- vious day. The shooting commenced at nine o'clock, at which time the score stood as follows at the target of honor:—E. H. Heimers, 59 rings; Edward Lamster, 82; John Miller, 24, At the prize or ring target 3.

THE JERSEY CITY BIGAMY CASE, Colonel! Prisdee attended Justice Leonard’s office in Jersey City yesterday afternoon to answer the chargo of bigamy preferred against him by George Lamb, brother to Mrs. Prisdee, No. 2 In consequence of the recent decision of Justice Keese in the case, however, Mr. Lamb did not appear, and the accused was dis- ‘missed. This closes the cage for the present, THE FIRST LESSON IN CRIME, Since the arrest of a boy named Daniel Lahey on last Tuesday morning, in Jersey City, on the charge of breaking into Stratford’s cigar store, on Newark avenue the police have been in search of his accomplice, as he confessed that another boy aided in the job. Yesterday morning the missing boy was found. e gave his name as Anton Weatherley, confessed the crime and was committed fur trial. THE LAST OF A TRAMP. Yesterday morning a tramp, supposed to be an Ttalian, was found dead in the stable of the Morris Canal Company at the Hackensack River. On the pre- vious evening be asked to be allowed to remain there during the night, as he felt very sick. Ho was seen alive at six o'clock yesterday morning, but he was then suffemng great pain. Before another ‘hour elapsed he was acorpse. He was about forty-five years of age, Nothing was found which could lead to bis identi cation. . A LOVE-SICK GIRL FEIGNS SUICIDE. ‘At alate hour on Monday night a physician was sum- moned to attend a young woman named Martha Mathews in a canal boat at Harsimus Cove, Jersey City. She was suffering intense agony, and the bystanders in- formed the physician that she had taken Paris green, ‘Antidotes were applied, but they proved ineffectual, ‘The physician perceived that he was being imposed upon, and at iast the young woman confessed that she had dnly taken an emetic to frighten a young man with whom she was in love, and who, she suid, had “gone back” on her. If it had not the desired effect she in- tended to try something more effectual, ANOTHER SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT. ‘The association organized for the purpose of erecting ‘a soldiers’ monument in Hudson county, N. J., is mak- ing rapid progress, Atthe meeting on Monday night it was resolved to hold a mass meeting at the Court House on the 19th of next month, to which the Grand Army of the Kepublic will be invited. ‘The day will be the an- niversary of the Battie of Cedar Creek. Generals Hooker, Kilpatrick and Siege) will be invited, PEACHES IN ABUNDANCE. The supply of peaches carried over the Penasylvania Railroad w the New York market during tho present season has been astonishing, especially the number carried during the past month, Yesterday sixty-six car Joads for local pradg and eleven for Boston came into Jersey City WALL STREET NOTES, THE GHOST OF ERIB—THE WESTERN UNION FIASCO—MR. GOULD PROPOSES ANOTHER CON- SOLIDATION—UNION PACIFIC DECISION—FAIL- URE OF A CANADA BANK, Bir Edward Watkin’s exposures of the true condition of the affairs of the Erie Railway Company, published in this column yesterday, as well as the damaging facts reported at a meeting of bondholders in this city, caused a decline 6f about two per cent in the stock yes- terday, and although it closed a fraction beyond its lowest point, it was plain to be seen that the advance ‘was occasioned more by the shorts, who did not want to go home AT THE MERCY OF ERIE GAMBLERS, than by any actual strength of the speculation, A Hr- ALD representative yesterday was told by a member of one of the old boards that ‘never in its history did Erie Present such a hopeless prospect as now; her equip- ment,” he said, “is poor; the broad gauge can never pay a profit on travel or freight, the running expenses being nearly eighty per cent of the gross receipts, while the bonded and floating debt and extravagant ex- penditures make it impossible that any issue but fore- closure can result.” It seems pitiable that such an in- trinsically great property should have suffered 80 much from the rapacity of Jay Gould, only to havo fallen upon an era of bad times, cormorants, jobbers and stock manipulatora, The adjourned meeting of bondholders took place again yesterday, and farther proceedings looking to foreclosure were discussed. GOULD’S WESTERN UNION FIASCO was made apparent yesterday, It was conceded on the street that he had lost the stake for which he had played, and now his telegraphic control must be confined to the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company, whose line and business should become valuable on account of the business arrangement with the direct United States cable, A story is afloat that a short time since Mr. Gould waited on a prominent officer of the cable com- pany—whose name was given—and desired to know if some plan of consolidation could not be effected between the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph and the Direct cable, ‘The answer, as reported, was about as follows, and it seems a better sarcastic reference could not have beon made to Gould’s reputation abroad. “No,” said the officer, ‘our company is owned by English, German, and French capitalists, not a dollar of American money ig in it, and there ts a prejadice in Europe against you, it being stated tnat you use corporations for your owh benefit and profit, while we profess to work for the ad- vantage of our stockholders; thus no consolidation with you can be effected.” UNION PACIFIC RATEROAD. ‘Tho suits of the above Company, appellant, vs, Me- Shane, treasurer, and others, coming up on an appeal from the Circuit ‘Court for the District of Nebraska, a decision was rendered by Judge nubergesanday which willbe found in extenso elsewhere, The HeRAup cor- respondent interviewed Mr. Fisk, of Fisk & Hatch, as to the meaning of the litigation, and was informed that the suits grew out of the desire of the railroad com- pany, to: pay no taxen:an lands not patented, and that lands would not be patented until sold; for further in- formation Mr. Colburn, of the Central Pacific Railroad, was referred to, who stated to the writer that the Union Paeifle contested the assessment of taxes for State, school and local municipal purposes because they claimed that the alternate sections of lands granted to them—the United States holding the intermediate strips or squares—were exempt from such taxation. This has been in effect so decided; but where the gov- ernment has issued the patent the lands are taxable, whether payment of costs of survey, &c., -has been made to the United States or not, PAILURE OF A MONTREAL BANK. It was find on Wall street a little after midday that the Mechanics’ Bank of Montreal had suspended, Inquiry established the fact that the losses in Canada will be serious, but not likely to cause trouble here. It is significant, however, that panics trip upon the heels of such disasters, and the cyclone of financial trouble seems not yet to have exhausted its fury, In the case of the Mechanics’ Bank the defalcation of a cashier is the reason given for susptusion, The telegraph gives s the following tigures:— Capital paid up. Spe Dominion notes... On other banks. Loans.... . Overdue debts. Total... Real estate, ve amilgamated wit nu closed, bat the flight of a clerk with $100,000 precipitated their suspension. In conversa- tion with a Montreal merchant yesterday he said, “CANADA IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE,” the shops are idle and Americans purchasing fancy goods make almost the only trade. The hotels are doing scarcely anything, and the proprietor of one of the largest jewelry stores told me. before I came awa: that he might as weil shut up shop and “go a fishing!) SAN FRANCISCO MATTERS. The San Francisco Stock Boards are to be reopenod about the Ist of October. There are three Boards, all of which are full. The price of seats is as follows:— In the San Francigco Board, $25,000 each; in tho Pacific Board, $5,000 each, and in the California Board, ay each, ‘Their transactions are chiefly in mining stoc ‘The Mariposa Tunnel was in 1,120 feet September 10, Assays of rock from the pp, oc iron, antimony, lead and copper, so it is said; but reports trom this mine should be taken with agrain of salt,as many a poser has been given the street by Mariposa, THE MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING, Abraham Van Dorn, a produce dealer in Washington Market, was arrested yesterday morning by Captain McCullagh, of the Seventeenth precinct, on suspicion of being the man who, it is alleged, shot Thomas Ker- rigan, a horse dealer, on Monday afternoon, in the stable at No. 214 Sixth street. Coroner Kessler was notified of the arrest of Van Dorn, and ordered him to be taken to Bellevue Hospi- tal, to see if Kerrigan could identify him, Van Lorn was taken to the bedside of the dying man, but Kerrigan failed to identify him, and told so many different sto- ries of the affuir that the Coroner and police are of the opinion that neo dee shot himself while laboring under a temporary fit of insanity, caused by excessive drinking. ‘The Coroner thereupon discharged Van Dorn from custody. The condition of the injured man last evening was very precarious, and his Physicians had but little hope that he would live through the night, THE PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION. Yesterday afternoon the Committee of the Board of Supervisors appointed to investigate the alleged abuses in the Kings County Penitentiary reassembled in the parlor of that institution, Chairman Clancy said, in consideration of the fact that there were no persons present to sustain what had been alleged by ex-convicts inst the management of the Penitentiary, the com- mittee would adjourn until Tuesday afternoon, at one o'clock, when they would meet in the chambers of the Board of Supervisors. TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.

The Christian Brotherhood of Brooklyn, the temperance crusaders, have prepared a list of 200 cases of delinquent dis- pensers of malt and alcoholic beverages of the City of Churches for the consideration of the Grand Jury.
