10 THE COURTS. —-——_ B Jury Obtained for the Trial of Scannell. Names and Business of the Jurors. Day and Night Sessions To Be Held During the Trial Schedule of Bankruptcy Proceedings. After five days of assiduous labor, wearisome not | only to the counsel, but alike wearisome and a good | eal more perplexing to the unfortunates excoriated in | the crucible of catechism, a full complement of jurors | ‘was obtained yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Ter. | miner to sit in judgment at the retrial of John Scannell | for the alleged murder of Thomas J. Donohue, On the | reassembling of the Court, there being a fresh panel of | 100 to draw from, and only one juror to make Up the full jury, it looked as though the task was an easy one, and that buta short time would be needed fo fill the still vacant chair in the jury box. These hop proved It was an all-day undertaking, aud the list of new jurors naving been | nearly al) called 1 seemed at onc time quite sure that this painfully preliminary process of getting a jury would ran over into another week. For some reason, but probably from a general surfeit | of the stereotyped monotony of questions ana answers, and no promise of any change in the programine, attendance yesterday was much smalier than op any previous day since the case was called for trial nell looked as serenely composed as ever. In addition to bis wife, who is still unremitting in her attendance, | as also a sister of his, there were several other | ladies who made their appearance yesterday for delusive. the first time in court. Occasionally a lady | could also be seen among the general audience. The prisoner sat by his counsel, Messrs, William A. Beach, William | Spencer and Peter Mitchell, and it was evident from | his frequent conferences with them that he was more | (mterosted in the examinations for the twelfth juror | than in those of any previously accepted, District Attorney Phelps and Messrs, Rollins and Lyons, his assistants, still conducted the case for the prosecution. Among the names cailed for examination was Benjamin | F. Butler, but neither the Essex statesman nor tho | olitan sojourner bearing the same venerabile | metrop?’ sponded. ‘The calling of the name, however, | sent & ripple of laughter over the assemblage, | During the day there were some rather pleasantly | amusing phases. (ne gentleman, though possessing | conscientious scruples, was ‘entirely against this | business.” When a Mr. Frost’ was called to tand Mr, Howe amused the members of the Bar present by the Shakespearian quotation, ‘And there came a frost, a nipping frost.” On several occasions Mr. Beach undertook to interrogate the jmrors upon their familiarity with mental diseases, but Judge b: Fett in each case cut this line of examination shor’ At a fow minutes before four o’clock all the importa Howe, Charles 5. t Fequisites of a juryman were found embodied in Mr, Lewis G. Knowles, and this gentleman took the re | | | Matning seat in the jury box. Pleased when he took his seat, and the counsel Specially so. The following is the jury as completed :— | John Geisbuesch, No. 405 Broome street, wooilen goods merchant David J. Danna, No. 8 Tompkins street, lumber dealer, James J. Hicks, No. 111 South street, wrecker. Samuel Booth, No. 543 W Thirty-fifth street, boiler maker. Jobn 8. rollers. Sherman P. Colt, No. 47 Beekman street, hardware, Everybody looked | 1, No, 80 Beekman street, printing John H Oberteutfer, No. 199 Grand ‘street, dry goods. Walter Se So. 10 Park place, painter. Eldridge C. Blaisdel, No. 562 Broadway, clerk, Frederick N. Flint, No. 49 Chambers street, hard- ware. James H. Davidson, No, 68 Walker street, paint Manufacturer. Lewis G. Kaowles, No. 2,280 Third avenue, shoes, No attempt was ‘taade te proceed any further in the case. Judge Barrett, after waiting a minute or so, evidently to give counsel an opportunity to make any Buggestions as tothe next step to be taken, stated that he had been requested by the jury to direct such eessions of the court as would hurry the trial to a ter- mination as speedily as possible. He added that he could not disregard this request, inasmuch as the jurors were taptially prisoners until the trial was concluded. The court, he said, would open at half- ast ten o’clock in the morning andcontinue tili one | , M., when there would @ recess of an bour. and then on reassembling continue in sesston until six o'clock, when there would be another recess of an hour, afer that an evening session from seren to nine o'clock. Having made this announcement the jurors, under charge of William H. Rickets, chief oficer of the court, assisted by Officers Julius B. Arnold, Peter Mc- Aleer, John Nolan, James J. Nealis, Josep Swenarwa and James E. McVeany, were ordered to be taken to Sweeny's Hotel, where they will be kept during the ogress of the trial. Up to the time of accepting the juror the fact is worthy of record that the counsel for the prisouer had exhausted twenty-stx of the per- emptory challenges to which they®are entitled, and the Prosecution had used up twenty. A singalar coinci- dence between the present and previous trial might also be stated, the fact of its taking five days in each trial to obtain a jury. PROCEEDINGS IN BANKRUPTCY.

The counterfeiting family of Mrs, De Mott and chil dren was brought before United States Commis. sioner Shields yesterday for fysther examination, The children, Francis and Catharine Kinney, were dis, charged, on the ground that they had no criminal knowledge of the transaction, The mother and eldest child, Ells Kinney, were remanded until Wednesday next’ Herman Volkestein, the beer dealer, who was arrested for passing two of the coins paid vo bim by Bila Kinney, was discharged on his own recognizance lu ihe United States District Court, before Juége Blatchford, suit was commenced yesterday by the United States government against Edwin J.

It looks now as though the legal contest om this matter would be a | prolonged and exciting one, Very slow progrese 18 made in reaching a conclusion a8 to the question of making permanent the temporary ranted by Judge Donohue, forbidding the ther playing at the Bowery Theatre of the drama Slocum.” ‘The argument on the case, which was set dowa for yesterday before Judge Donohue, in Su- preme Court, Chambers, was adjourned wll next | Wednesday. In the suit brought by Washington E. Roilling and others against Duncan, Sherman & Co., to recover the sum of $5,000 on @ letter of credit, and tn which & judgment was rendered for the plaintiff, an order haa been made by Judge Donohue, directing the examina ou of Mr. Butler Duncan on supplementary proceed- tugs. The examination was delayed pending the return of Mr. Duncan from Alabama, A further hearing was had yesterday in the matter of the contested will of John L. Brown, before Surro- gate Hutchings, The principal business was the cross- examination of Mr. John L. Brown, Jr., son of the testator, for the purpose of locating the property now held by the witness and his wife, and bis mother, Mrs. Hannab £. Brown; to elicit when, where and how it was purchased; who paid lor it; its present condition, and what property, formerly owned by the testator and his family, bad been sold aad to whom. The witness was kept uuder examination several hours without eliciting any evidence of public interest. On ‘Thursday last the Collector of the Port seized the | Hudson River steamboat Syracuse and tackle for alleged violation of the navigation laws in not having had its boilers and huil inspected by the proper authorities lor a period of one year. The usual libel was filed, and yes- terday United Siates Marshal Fiske took possession of the vessel The penalty amounts to $508. The defence 18 that application was recently made vo the Inspectors of Steam Vessels, at Albany, for a survey, a8 required by law; that permission was given to the vessel to niake one more round trip before the inspection, and | shut during that trip the se:zure was made. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Flammer. ABREST O¥ AN ALLEGED SHOPLIFTER. Esther J. Cadmus, of Untoaville,Orange county, N. J. was yesterday arraigned at the above court on a charge of shoplifting. For years back the prisoner has been a regular and frequent customer at the feather and fancy goods store kept by Ira Beard, at No. 457 Broadway. She always paid cash for her purchases and was re- garded as an industrious and striculy honest woman. She was also a customer at other stores of the same Early in the forenoon of yester- day she called into the latter's establishment, and | after making the purchase of a few ostrich feathers paid for them and left, She next visited the store of Hill & Brothers, No an assortment of feathers was detected by a salesman im the act of secreting some of them on her person. A | | police officer was immediately sent for. The messen- ger found Detective Dorcey right in the neighborhood, and Esther was at once taken into custody. On being fearched at the station house there was found con- cealed under the skirt of her dress a pillow cover of considerable width and depth quite full of valuable feathers, ribbons and other fancy goods. A portion of the property was identitied by Mr. Beard as his, and the remainder was claimed by Hill & Brothers as hav- ing been stolen from them. She was taken to court in the afternoon and held in $1,600 to answer, The stolen property was valued at $30, RECKLESS DRIVING. George Saunders was yesterday held in $1,000 to answer for wilfully and recklessly driving an empty wagon over the body of John Walsh, five years, fracturing his thigh THRICE DIVORCED. Jaffa M. Bluestone appeared before Judge Flammer to answer a complaint of abandonment brought by his wife Rachel It appears that the couple, who are Polish Jews, have been three times married and as many times divorced by rabbis. The defendant’s ex- cuse for leaving his wite was that she was unkind to his two children. He expressed his willingness, how. ever, to take her back again if she would promise to be a kind wife to him and “have extras on the table once inawhile.’’ This promise baying been given he was discharged. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET COURT. Before Judge Datty. THE GLOVER OUTRAGE. Moses M. Redding, Miss Glover’s alleged assailant, surrendered himself to Judge Duffy yesterday. His counsel in his bebalf denied the charge, and, waiving an exam‘nation at this Court, asked that bail be set at | @reasonable amonut Five thousand dollars was tho im mentioned, and it was given by Redding’s land lord, a Mr. Rosenthal. “4 FOOL AND HIS MONEY,” &c.

Wasursoton, Nov. 20, 1875. In the United States Supreme Court, Friday, Novem- ber 19, the following case was argued :— Mo, 6% Town of Venico va. Mardock—£rror to the Cireait Court for the Northern district of New York.— This was an action brought to recover the amount claimed w be due on certain bonds issued by the town- ship, undee am eat of the Btate Legisiatnre, wing he several vownsnips of Cayuga county to ‘ow money in aid of the constroction of a railroad from Lake Ontario to the New York and Erie or Cayuga and Susquehanna Railroad upon vote of two Canal street, and while engaged in inspecting | 4 $4 in three different recruiting offices | thirds of the taxpayers in favor of the enterprise. The decision below sustamed the regularity of the bonds and the validity of the obligations. and it is here contended that the bonds are void, because the requisite consent never obtained from the taxpayers, and because they were delivered in the first instance for stock aud not for money borrowed. It is also contended that the instroments are really not bonds, but parol con- ‘tracts merely. They were not spectaities, and their y we none of the sanctions of not have the indorsement that the requisite asgents Were obtained for their issue, but only the certificate of the by Clerk that the assents fled purported to be the assenis required by law, This in- dorseinent was itself sufficient to put the purchaser on his inquiry, and for this reason the holders here were not to te regarded as bona fide holders, W. A. Worden for plaintiff in error, L Wright for defendant UPTOWN IMPROVEMENT. MEETING OF THE NORTH SIDE ASSOCIATION. The North Side Association, which is composed of land owners and taxpayers in the Twenty-third and | Twenty-fourth wards, and which has for ita object the | proper improvement and development of the territury lying within the annexed district, held its regular meet, tug at Morrisania yesterday afternoon, The meeting was largely attended, Mr. Lewis @ Morris presiding. Immediately after G. H. Foster offered a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, tendering tho thanks of the association to the Legislature for passing the Rapid Transit act, and to the Mayor and the Commis- sioners for the promptness with which they have dis- charged their duties under it; also expressing confidence in the Manhattan Railway Company, just organized, On motion of Mr. Bryan a committee was named, consisting of Oliver Bryan, J. B, Angel, A A. Levy and L. G. Morris, to procure fifty property holders of the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards to wait upon the Mayor in reference to the proposed rapid transit routes, On motion of Mr. Ryder the Secretary was directed to urge the Board of Apportionment to authorize the necessary expenditure by the Park Board for building the proposed new bridge over Harlem River from Madi- gon avenne to 138th street, ata grade high enough for harbor tugboats to pass ‘under it; also that the Secre- tary press upon the l’ark Board the necessity of quickly building a suspension bridge above High Bridge. Mr. Angel moved a resolution directing tne Commit- tee on Local Lmprovement to urge the Park Commis- sioners to complete all unfinished improvements in the | annexed district as soon us possible, Mr. Bryan called atiention to the deficiency of docks ‘between Harlem Bridge and Hell Gate, vessels of heavy draught being obliged to discharge there oy lighters, He proposed that property owners and taxpayers should ask the Dock Commissioners to construct docks in that locality. Referred to the Committee on Harlem Riter linprovement, RIPARIAN RIGHTS. A letter was read from General Newton concerning the improvement of the channel of the Harlem River. It seems that some time since a preliminary survey was made of the river, and certain suggestions thrown out which led the land owners along the bank to imag- ine that their rights were soon to be encroached upou. To correct this impression General Newton says:— “The government, acting under my recommendation, could not be advised to interfere with the modes of im- provement adopted by the riparian owners along the course of the Harlem River, whether this be by means of piers running im New York along the Hudson or East River, or by means of a wall on the channel side enclosing basins, All that the property owners will have to do wonld be to regulate the exterior lines of jers and basins, so that they conform to the main lines laid down by the government It was never my in- tention to recommend any interference with the riparian owners beyond the points stated above.” ‘The letter then alludes to the changes of the Harlem channel cut at Dyckman’s meadows, along the canal, to make tt conform to the level of Spuyten Duyvil Creek. He saye he would not hesitate to recommend the changé if on examination it be found advisable, ‘After the reuding of the letter the meeting adjourned. PRACTICAL RAPID TRANSIT. THE EXTENSION OF THE GREENWICH STREET LINE TO .FIFTY-NINTH STREET—GREAT IN- CREASE OF BUSINESS. The public will regret to hear that owing to the pro- crastiuation of the iron contractors for the Greenwich | strect road the extension to Fifty-ninth street will not | be ready to be opened for another month, Meanwhile, | however, improvements are being mude which will remedy, as far as possible, the inconvenience caused | by the lack of agecond track. Three new turnouts are | being put in; one, 850 feet in length, at Bank street; | another, 600 fect long, at Thirty-fourth etreet, and a third, whose length has not yet been decided upon, | | near the lower terminus of the line, on Greenwich | street, between Morris street and Battery place. Tho | | last mentioned turnout is intended principally tor the | accommodation of the cars, there not being sufficient room at the depot, while the other two will enable trains from opposite directions to pass in | mght of each other, thus enabling the company to run | trains with greater frequency. These turnouts, says Mr, Courtwnght, the president, will cost, atan average, $20,000 each. The foundations for the short extension down to the South ferry (below the junction of White- hall and State streets), a distance of only 1,600 feet, are now being put in, and’ it will probably be also flaished by the 1st of January. Since the completion of the road to Forty-second street the company has been unable to accommodate the great traitic during the morning and evening hours, and Mr. Wyman, the superintendent, says that aboat 500 to 600 passengers have been turned away every day run to Forty-second street It is certainly auspicious for the prospects of rapid trangit that this increase has been so marked, What it exactly 1s the following table will show precisely :— ACTUAL PARES TAKES, 187: Date, Nov. 6.

Daring the | month of October, when the extension to Forty-second | street had not been finished, the gain, as compared to last year, was only 7 per cent, showing the great impe- tus which the traific bas recelved through the exten- sion, Mr. Cowing, the Secretary of the Elevated Rail- road Company, eays that this far transcends even the | expectations of the company, who had cstimatea that | | the number of ngers on the completion of the road to Forty-second street would only run up to about 6,000 per day. When the road is operied to Fifty-ninth streot Mr. Cowing thinks the increase of traffic will bring up this number to at least 7,000 and probably to 8 000. When the road is finished to Sixty-thifd street and fn operation to Fitty-ninth street trains will probably be run every twelve minutes, At present the number of round trips made {a fifty-six; but from Monday, when a new time table goes into effect (to conform to tho changes made in the time tavic of the Hudson River road), thia will be increased to sixty, and after | the opening of the road to Fifty-ninth’ street to | seventy. The number of cars, which is sixteen now, will also be presently increased to twenty-one, the | ve new oars bong now ready for the use of the ‘com- pany. ae | REAL ESTATE ber of fa1 But very few attended tho gules at the Exchange | yesterday.

The Reduction of Tigh Offi. cial Salaries. ee COMPTROLLER GREEN ON THE WARPATH ali LEN A ex) COMPARATIVE FIGURES OF 1871 AND 1876, At three o’clook yesterday afternoon an important special meeting of the Board of Apportionment was held in the Mayor’s office, Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Tax Commissioner Wheeler and Alderman Lewis were present A resolution was passed authorizing the Comptroller to tsene judgment bonds of the city and county of New York to the amount of $30,000, Several transfers of moneys from one department to another were also au- thorized, ‘THR SEVENTH REGIMENT ARMORY. Comptroller Green offered a preamble and resolution relative to the appropriation of $350,000 asked for by the Seventh regiment for the purpose of erecting an armory on the ground leased to them from the city, The preambie sets forth a condensed history of the whole matter, which bas already been published. ‘The following is the text of the resolution :— Resolved, That this Board hereby expresses Its judg- ment that in the present condition of the monetary aflairs of the city no burden should be imposed upon the taxpayers of this city for the purpose of erecting buildings for an armory and drill rooms for the use of the Seventh ior any other regiment, and that the Counsel to the Corporation be instructed to oppose by all proper ineans the granting of the mandamus sought for by the Seventh regiment to compel this Board to raise moneys by tax to build an armory for the Seventh regiment, When the Comptroller ceased reading his document Mayor Wickham moved the preamble be left out and that part of the resolution directing the Corporation Counsel to oppose by al! possible means the granting of the mandamus alone be adopted, Comptroller Green strenuously objected. The pre- amble was a succinct history of the case, and would, no doubt, be useful to the Court before which the litigation was pending, ‘The motion to strike out the preamble was then put and lost, Comptroller Green and Corumissioner Wheeler voting in the negative and Alderman Lewis and Mayor Wickham in the affirmative. Alderman Lewis then moved to lay all on the table except the resolution, This was lost by the following vote:—Yens, Mayor Wickham and Alderman Lewis; nays, Comptroller Green and Tax Commissioner Wheeler. The original motion of Mayor Wickham as to the resolution was then passed tnanimously and the pre- amble left out. SALARIES OF OFFICIALS. ‘At the conclusion of the armory squabble Comptrol. ler Green rose and read the following document:— Fivasct DEPARTMENT, COMPTROLLER'S OvrIcE, Orry ov New York, Nov. 2, 1875, To the Boarn or Est ats AND APPORTIONMENT >— It is well Known that salaries paid to persons em- ployed under and conneeted with the city and county government are (notwithstanding the reductions that have been made since 1871 and prior to 1875) in many instances excessive and unequal, one employé getting a salary thrice greater than another doing greater and more responsible work, by virtue of some special act of the Legislature, Inspired, perhaps, by the very member who was himself to draw it on his return from Albany to New York, or of some ancient resolution hatched in ‘a former Board of Supervisors, or Common Council, those whilom breeding grounds ot sinecures, big salaries, profligacy and plunder. It was, perhaps, to be expected that during @ period of de- preciated currency and consequent corruption, when a dollar in paper was not worth more than fifty cents in gold, compengation should have risen even dispropor- tionately to the advance of the prices of living; but when these priees are falling to near what they were before the war salaries should come down proportion- ately, Sundry efforts to reduce salaries have been ren- dered fruitless either by reason of the non-action of this Board, or by constructions placed by the courts upon statutes which are supposed to have been drawn to give power to make sach reductions, In the com- petition for public office high salaries do not ensure high abilities; the larger the salary the greater will be the efforts to get tt on the part of those who bave noth- ing to do but to seek office. T noe herewith a list showing some of the reduc- tions in galaries that have already been made since the | reform era of 1871, aud nearly all of them before the year 1875, In certain departments of the public service ihe compensation is now not greater than the abilitics now employed would command in private business, and it ts doubtless true that ‘there are. officials in this city who would not fina it difficult to obtain even a higher rate of compensation than that now awarded to them by thecity. Acompensation fair and just should bo paid to the public oilicial, regulated by the amount and character of the labor and responsibilities discharged ; but it is due to the taxpayers, who are now so heavily burdened, that the expenses of the city government should be lessened, and to this end that salaries which are still excessive and the excessive number of persons still employed and the gross inequalities still existing between the labors and responsibilities of various officers and their compensations should be vigorously abated. I recofmmend accordingly that where the Board has the power it proceed promptly to effect these objects, and that, where the Courts have construed away the power, we go straight to the root from which many of these extravagances have sprouted, and prepare the necesgary legislation to effect proper reductions and equatizations of salaries in all departments, branches and officers of the city government or connected there- with, and that this legislation be so carefully framed | that the countless quibbles and bair-splittings that have Leen so effectively used against the interests of the city and against the taxpayers shall be brushed away, Re- specttully, ANDREW H.
