THE COURTS. 'The Bleecker Street Railroad ) Receivership. ‘Important Government Suits to Recover Taxes on Profits, _—_—_—__. Results of Christmas Jollity Seen in the Police Courts. © A strong effort has been made by some of the bond- holders of the Bleecker Street Railroad, but represent ing # minority in interest, to obtain a stay of proceed- ngs to prevent Mr. Alvin 8, Southworth, the newly- Pppolnted receiver, from entering upon the discharge of his duties as such receiver, As the basis of the ap- Plication for such stay, it was stated that negotiations were now pending for leasing tho line to the Twenty- third Street Railroad Company, and it was asserted that if areceiver should take ion of the road it would prevent the consummation of this project, Judge Davis, in Supreme Court, Chambers, to whom the application was made, gave his decision yesterday, denying the motion. The following is his memoran- Gum of decision:— “Tl think there is nothing in the appointment and pos- Bession of the receiver to preveut apy fair arrange- ment being made that will protect the bondholders, and the right and interests of all the stockholders. There should be, I think, a meeting of the stockholders called upon notice to all, at which the rights and inter- ests of all may be represented and heard, and if it ehal) be found that the leasing of the road is the best cours te Ya fa the rights and interests of all the Court ‘will not hesitate to do whatever may be In its power to carry out such arrangement, with the consent of the bondholders, I think, however, that in the meantime the road had better be in the possession of a receiver, Motion for a stay of proceedings denied.’ TAXES ON PROFITS.

As though 1% were not enough that citizens should be compelled to meekly submit to insult, and all manner of uncivil usage at the hands of the ‘guardians of the peace,’ with now and then a first class case of clubbing thrown in, they will now learn that any burly, fenorant officer, who so desires, cam throttle them on the public highway, drag them to prison, incarcerate them for from thirty-slx to forty-cight hours and then dismiss them with a kick. Mr. John Cassidy is a highly respectable gentleman, who lives in Williamsburg, but does business in New York, He is fifty years of age, and has been employed fora number of yearsa foreman for A. H. Richiey printer and engraver, of No. 109 Liberty street, Last Friday, the 24th inst., he was absent from the printing house the greater portion of the day, being engaged im collecting some bills up town. He returned tothe office LATE IN THR APTRRNOON, y and was given money with which to pay off three or four hands who were to call there at seven o'clock, His work having been neglected during his absence, he concluded to go at itand bring it up before he went home, The workmen who were to receive their pay did not come at seven o’clock ag per agreement, but Mr, Cassidy having found more to do than he had anticipated, continued to jwork until after two o'clock in the morning, He then took bis hat and overcoat and left the building, taking with him mall picture and frame be had purchased the day previous for the pur- pose of presenting them toa friend fora Christmas i hago On reaching the outer entrance he set down i8 picture and turned to lock the door. Just then Officer Keeling, of the Twenty-seventh precinct, observed him and called on him to stop. He did as re- quested, and when the officer came up explained his Presence there at that hour in the morning, Saying that he was employed in the building, that he had been detained there at work and that the picture be ecarricd was his own, This, however, did not Satisfy the mind (?) of this brilliant officer, and he laid hold’ of Mr, Cassidy and marched him off to the station house, argent eng filannigan was at the desk, and before him Keeling arraigned his prisoner. Mr, Casuidy told to the sergeant the same story he had related to the officer. This modern Vidocq, however, eyed him suspiciously a few moments, and, as he slowly shook his massive cranium, remarked that the narrative was ‘too thin.’ “I shalllock you up,” he continued, ‘Search him, officer.” The officer sow be- gan rifling the prisoner's pockets, turning cach wrong side out and emptying them of their entiro contents. All his private papers, his watch and money, together with that belonging to. the workmen, was taken from him, Mr, Cassidy meanwhile protested with . THR UTMOST VELEMENCK, but allto no avail. He plead for an opportunity to send or telegraph for a friend who could identify Lim; but even this privilege was denied in a brusque and in- decent manner, Finding that all his protestations, his pleadings his entreaties were of no avail Mr. Cassidy had not! to do but to quietly submit to the ludignities that were being heaped upon him and suffer himself to be led down into the cellar and thrust into acell already oc- cupied by two dirty tramps, who were ina disgusting Btate of intoxication. The atmosphere of the place, always unwholesome, was now rendered doubly nox- Jous by the unsavory gases emanating from the bodies of the: two drunken prisoners. Indeed, so foul was the air that Cassidy was compelled. to stand with his face close to the grating until half-past seven o’clock in the aire when he was marched through the streets to the Tombs Police Court. Here he was put in the pen in ¢ompany with the lowest and vilest class of drunkards and criminals until such time as “His Honor”? should be ready to dispose of him, At last the hour arrived, and he was led up to the desky Justice Bixby was on the bench, and, being 1n.a hurry to get bome to his Christmas dinner, could not of course spend much time investigating the charge against the risoner, Ho nervously hstened, however, to what r, Cassidy had to say, and then inquired if he had any person in court who could identify him, In view of the manner in which he had been treated at the jon house itis not surprising that he was compeiled to answer in the negative, ‘Well, sir, I shali remand you to the station until to- morrow (Sunday) morning and if you cannot then establish your identity I small send you to the Island, Take him back.”’ He was taken back—back to the fiithy cell he had occupied before, and kept there until the following morning. Meanwhile a friend having heard of his predicament went to the Tombs and wheo. ‘Cassidy was again arraigned before the magistrate suc- ceeded in effecting his discharge, From friday morning, when Mr. Cassidy left bis home, until Sunday forenoon when he was released from the hands of the INEST POLICK IN THE WORLD”? his family was ignorant of his whereabouts. His ab- senee all day Christmas was wholly inexplicable to them and when at last he returned it was only to find his wife oye from the effects of nervousness and fright, ‘is Christmas dinner in the cell at the station house consisted of sour bread, soup and a chunk of corned beef, handed in through the iron grating. These are tho facts of the latest police outrag it te not altogether pleasant to reflect that Mr. Cassidy's tate may be the fate of any other citizen who chances 0 fall into the hands of an ignorant police officer, a -willed sergeant and a hungry magistrate, A GERMAN HANGS HIMSELF, DRINK AND FAMILY TROUBLES THE CAUSE OF THE SUICIDE. Desidorius Schaick, a German, fifty-six years of age, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by hanging himself in bis room at No, 74 Gran@street, Schaick came to this country in 1848, bringing with him his wife and one son, and applied himself to his trade, which was that of a blacksmith. A few years passed away and hia wife died. Soon after that he took to drink and has since been known by hie comrades as a hard drinker, He was a simple-hearted, good- and in, and natured sort of man and was universally liked by all who knew him, He was married a second time, but his second wife, i ta said, ran away from him at two different times with young men, and finally settled down in Greenpoint, where she is now living with Schaick’s oldest son, Reuben. These events seemed only to increase the unhappy man’s recklessness, and he became a worse drinker than ever, He began to occupy the room in which he breathed his last about three monthsago, Two months ago he was tarned out of his position in the iron railing manufactory of Michael Grosz, at No. 45 Greene street, for drunkenness, ‘and since that time he has had no work, Sunday morning before gotng out Schaick asked Franciscus to give him a drink, but the landlord re- fused to do so, saying he would not give him a dfop, and that he ought to stop drinking. The same evening, about stx o’clock, Schaick threw open the door of the saloon from the street and fell headlong on the floor in a state of pitiful intoxication, ranciscus lifted him up, and after carrying him up stairs undressed him and put him to bed. That was the last time Franciscus saw bim alive. The next morning, about ten o'clock, a Mrs. Bolla Sullivan had occasion to go into Schaick’s room to draw some water, at which time Schaick was in the act of rising. He looked at himscif in the glass, and remarked that bis eye was bruised trom the fall in the previous night’ Mrs. Sullivan then advised him to return to bed, which he did. Aboutone o’clock Mrs, Sullivan re-entered the room and found the deceased banging: by ® Tope, one end of which was made tast to the bed; and the other tied in aslip knot round his neck. His head was only about @ foot from the ground. Mrs, Sullivan rushed from the room tn terror, Officer Tessaro, of the Righth precinct, was calied in and he at once cut down the body, which was still warm. In his kets were found an empty tin tobacco box, in which were two scraps of paper, having written on them the addresses. of A. Butten, No, 92 Beekman street, and Schmid, No. 136 avenue The room wasa small, sparsely fur- nished one, and on a chair was an open razor. Coroner Kickhoff and his deputy, Dr. Marsh, held an inquest. The jury rendered a verdict of suicide and the body was removed to the Morgue. Several of Schatek’s fellow workmen heard him say that he would commit suicide, DEATH IN A CELLAR, Aman named Stephen Lacey, @ rigger, was found lying dead in his room, which is the rear base- ment of No. 590 Water street, Sunday afternoon about three o’clock. During the morning of Sunday Mra Dunne, who lived on the same floor with Lacey, took into his room some eatables for breakfast, together with some whiskey, He at once partook of the latter, and told Mrs, Vunne that he was suffering from severe pains near his heart, Mra, Dunne then went out, About three o’clock in the afternoon a friend of La- scey’s, named William Powers, went to see the deceased, Dut, receiving no response to his knocks, forced tho door open, and discovered the body of his ‘friend, cold and lifeless, stretched upon the floor close to the stove, with adeep gash on the forehead, several bruises on one side of the face, and on the table was tho untasted breakfast, and it is supposed that the unfortunate man being takén with a wm bad fallen, striking his head on the stove, and by killing himself, Deceased ‘was a widower, sev years of ago and the owner of $1,600, which was in the bank, jo was known as a sober, industrious man, and lately had been complain- ing of poor h It had been his intention to go to hospital yesterday.

OTHER WORLDS THAN OURS, To THR Epitor or tar Herat If the intelligent gentleman, who signed himself “D, Ross,” will procure a dictionary and turn to the word produce, he will discover that I have neither committed an unfortunate error nor made use of an argument which I cannot prove. Again I repeat that heat and electricity produce life—that is, they produce life from the germ, for even in the seed heat exists, and wherever you find heat and electricity there also you discover life, Without heat. and electricity life would cease and the germ would remain unde- veloped; consequently I say that heat and electricity produce’ life, And jet me tell your abie correspondent that heat and electricity do” exist on Jupiter, and knowing this to be the case, we have every reason to believe that Jupiter is inhabited.
