\s “NEW YORK THE COURTS. Sheriff Conner’s Dilemma in Regard to the Tweed Judgments. Sharp Judicial Lecture to the Police Commissioners. ——— Constitutionality of the Habitual Criminal Act Security the First Element in Fighting Rapid Transit. Inquiry at the office of Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham yesterday resulted in throwing but littic light on the cause of Shoriff Conner failing hitherto to make a re- Surn to the execution in bis bards against the property ef William M. Twoed. It is known that some timo Qfter the return was due, which was on the 12th of last month, a request was sent from Mr. Peckham Difice for a return. But instead of making one Sheriff Couper sent a private letter to the Attorney General at Albazy, which bas been already published, requesting Instructions as to how he should proceed in re- Bpect to ihe sale of property against which notices of lis pendens are still on flo as “that of the judgment debtor, In reference to this I fer Mr. Peckbam said he regarded it as a private letter from the Sheriff to the Attorney General, with which be (Mr. Peckham) had no right to interfere orconcera himself. Astothe Sheriff's duty in rofer- ence to the execution, that would have to be disposed ofvery soon, The circumstances seem to place the Sheriff in « rather unwelcome dijemma, under the law as it rolaics to suits iu which private. parties are piain- tiffs, and which probably in all respects apply to this case. At the expiration of sixty days after the deli ery of an execution to the Sheriff, if he taiis to make a return of bis action thereon at plaintifs requ latter can apply to the Court for aa order c bim to do so. If be returns the execution jas this case, = ass ins all ~—soothera in which an order of arrest has been granted against the defendant, unsatisfied in whole or in part, the body of the judgment debtor becomes liable for the balance. Having permitted Tweed to escape trom his custody, , the mpelling the Sheriff becomes liable to the extent of the judg: | ment unpaid, or at least to the extent of the bond (if tose than that judgment) in detault of which Tweed was In his custody. In either aspect of the law the amount ia certainly such that the Sheriff may well hesitate to place himself in a position to be called opon to pay it ‘until be shall have Oret exhausted all eflorts to satisfy or reduce it by the seizure and sale of property of Tweed, But even in cases where lis pendens are tiled, if the Sheri proceeds to sell in oppo: sition to the claims of alleged innocent owners, and beforo a decreo has been made upon a bill in equity to test title he will be liable to the alleged owner if title should be finally declarea to de in him and not in the judgmont debtor. In such cases the Sheriff! may compel @ private suitor to indemnily him by a satisfactory boud betore he will Act, and it becomes a gestion in this caso whether bo May not require a similar indemnity trom the sovereign People of the State, and, if so, who will give it? But All these questions, speculative to some extent are, will goabiless very soon be settled, as it w: stood that Mr. Charles O’Conor was in town y Consulting and advising about the matter, As it stands now, plainly the best tactics which Sheriff Conner can pursue is to gain time, in the hope of real- izing the amount of the judgment from the property, or in the vague hope that le may one day again lay bands om the ‘‘Boss,”? 1 was stated yesterday that no Spproximate estimate could be made of the value of the real estate still covered by lis pendens, and the only zuide thereto is a statement made by Mr. Peckham sume montha since while opposing an application to, Vacate one of the orders, that up to that time almost all of them had already been removed, and little or no roperty that could be relied on as applicable to the augment remained. A JUDICIAL LECTURE. ‘The wrangle between the Board of Health ana the P <e Commissioners caused by the effort made by tho iditer to compel the Health Board to vacate its room at the Police Headquarters bas met with a temporary Bstoppel at least by a decision rendered yesterday inthe ease by the General Term of the Superior Court, In confirming the injunction restraining the Police Com- missioners trom interfering with the Health Board Judge Curtis, who writes the opinion, scatbiugly erit- feises the conduct of the Police Commissioners. The g embodies the substance of the opinion :— It is ab all times desirable that departments organ- zed for the performance ot grave @ Service should co-operate tor the general well wm doing sv, not only present an the law, but scrupulously avoid acts of violence toward each other. Neither wuuld it be amiss for them to on- deavor to observe the oourtesies and conventionalities that prevail among the respective branches of the civil Service in most civilized communities. Nor does it de- tract from the theory of what their mutual relations should be, that, as in the present instance, as in all Others where litigation arises from a controversy be- tween themselves, its expenses on both sides are drawn from the public treaty. Hot only do such variances Mulitate with the highest discharge of duty, but they unjustly ner: public burden. e premises are the property of the public, and both departments occupied rooms there for years.’ Where a Person is in possession of real estate, even though he Bay be @ more tepant by sufferance or has not paid his tent, or hoids over after the expiration of his term, the pwuer can only regain possession by process of law. Public policy forbids resort to violence. Even if the poate Bourd came in, as the Folice Board claim, to old tne rooms under them at their pleasure, tne lice Commissioners have no more right to resort to nce than any other landlord * * * The law of 1867 directed the police to co-operate with the Board of Health for the public good, and the proof: Mudicate that it would be best for the public wel tbat these departments should occupy adjacent offic Is on building. Tho injunction must be con- hue THE HABITUAL CRIMINAL ACT. An interesting case, involving the question of the eonstitutionality of the Habituai Criminal act, came up for argument yesterday before Judge Westbrook, in Bupreme Court, Chambers.

ITS PROBABLE FAILURE AND TERMINATION TO- DAY—VERY LITTLE DEMAND FOR LABOR- ERS. | From the appearance of things yesterday it Is very likely the strike among the "longehoremen will be over to-day. The movement was undertaken without any organization by about 2U0 men, who marched along the west side plers and notified their fellow laborers of their intentions. By so doing they added to their uumbers and apparently gated strength, but without | any fund to fall back upon their chances of holding out | against their employers were very small, In ad- dition to this the large number of idie men who offered themseives to” work for the | old prices left the steamship companies fur from any danger of embarrassment. In order to ascertain the position of the compamies a reporter called on Mr. Thomas Sanford, secretary of the conference, an association of the different companies looking to their mutual interests. From that zentleman’s account the compantes are indifferent to the action of the men | and consider the time they have selected ill-chosen. They are not making money and can scarcely afford the rates they are paying at present, They received no notice of the intended sirike and first learned of i when informed that the men refused to work at old prices, The ‘companies would maintain a firin attitude and would suffer no inconvenience. At first they were compelled to work their crews in order to | keep up their schedule time, but since the strike has veen generally known they bave bud no difficulty 1m securing all the help reqaired from among the great le men who are glad to get work at tho wages offered. Another gentlen tho agent of a prominent fine of steamers, said that instead of looking for such action on the purt of the "lopzshoremen the project of reducing their wages twenty-five per cont had been considered on account of the hard times in | their business, AMONG THE "LONGRHOREMEX. Mt was generally expected that a meeting of the strikers would take place yesterday and some definite siand be taken by them. "They seemed, however, to be entirely without a head and no understanding ex- isted among them, Little groups of them wero gathered here and there quietly discussing the merits of the cdae. Thoir actious were peacetul and orderly and no resistance was offered to the men who refused to join them and continued at their work. Sergeaut Guston, of the steamboat squad, in charge of the North River police, Went among them and cautioned them not to gather in crowds or to attempt any show of re- sistance, assuring .thein it would be useless, as, under_all circumstances, peace and oraer muyt be main- tainod, They took the Warning quietly, and the little groups dispersed as he spoke to them, The chances of success among the strikers less, and the result of it so far has been in & stances a reduction instead of an increase of the wages | paid, This was the case with the White Star and State iincs, ‘The men who were willing to resume work at enco were given the usual wages, while those who caine on afier noon were promised but twenty-tive ceuts an hour, as new hands were to be had readily for the price. The Anchor line bave had no troable with their steamera because they have safficient business to keep their men steadily empioyed. They had some trouble, however, with a steainer consigned to thei, which, for want of room, thoy were compelled to un- load at the White Star pier. The nature of ber cargo required sxilful banding, and, as they could not em- ploy green hands, they were compelled for the time to submnit to the advanced rate in order to unioad the vessel by the timo the White Star line would require the use of the dock. The other companies found no trouble in getting all the hands they required. It was a simple question of supply and demand, und the supply was in excess, At Wilson’s line, on pler No. 83, there were seventy-five men at work. Tho old hanus, who Were supposed to bo among those whu inaugurated tho | strike, knocked off on Monday mornmg, and green | men Were put on at twenty-five conts instead of thirty. They now disélaim any connection with the origin of the movement and state they followed the lead of the laborers from tho Inman lin, To-day will undoubtedly settle the matter. There is a rumor that a fight will be but tt ts more likely tv terminate in a fizzie. The majority of them seem to regret the occur- rence and are slowly accepting the situation, THE SITUATION IN JERSEY. The feeling among the laborers at the coal docks, in Bergen Point, over the reduction of wages 1s very bitter, but ‘no outbreak occurred yesterday, as was expected. One of the old employés stuted Hxraup reporter that the men have been obliged at times to work very hard without extra compensation.

The superintendent in Jorsey City says that no reduction will be made for the present, as times are better thaa when the reduction ook place a year ago. ‘The engineers of the New Jersey Central Railroad appointed a committee to wait on Superintendent Kicker yesterday in relation to the reduction of ten per cent in the wages of omployés, Mr, Ricker gave ho assurance that the action already tsken would be revoked. The men complained that the notice given in regard to the reduction was very briet. ‘They will now send a committee to the President, Mr. Johnson, and present their case to hi y elaim that, while employés in similar circumstances on other railroads have veen accustomed to strike, they have always submitted to the orders of the company.

Bostow, August 1, 1876. Not even the lapse of time, the excitement of a political campaign, the horrors of an Indian war or tbe public interest im the Centennial will allow forger Winslow to pass into obscurity. The reverend rascal is to-day as much talked of in Boston as he was the afternoon his crimes and flight were announced to the public, and tt is generally anticipated that ssill more will be heard fromm him im the immediate future, The remarkable letters which he wrote to Dr. Ingalls, of tuis city, and which have been pretty fully given in the Hsnatp, have revived bis whole career, and since their publication little else has been talked about in commercial and business circles.” HOW ula STATEMENTS ARE VIEWED BY THE PUBLIC. Although the letters were written as private corre- spondence it is not to be supposed for a moment that the writer did not intend that they should be pub- lished, They are too elaborate, too much tn the line of @ justificgtion of hia “wrong doin; as he mildly terms it, and too decidedly in the line of an appeal for mercy for any one to believe that they were intended only for the edification of a personal friend. This is the way they are viewed by the public in genoral, and if the righteous writer expected to stir up sympathy by them he has most signally failed. How far he may be able by some of his threatened disclosures to damage the reputations ct some of those wi:h whom he has had business transactions is very questionable, for any- thing that the fugitive from justice may say now will require the most indisputable proot to commana popu- lar belief, The letters which he has already written have only met with contempt and ridicule, for it will be observed they fail to intimate any feelings of sor- row or penitence, but, on the contrary, are full of bravado and rebukes for the friends whom he injured and sought to ruin, cuEXK. j It was pure unadulterated cheek that enabled ministerial swindler to gain bis position in society and politics, and with this same commodity and an absence of scruples, be managed to enrich himself by a series of frauds upon those who trusted in him, These letters whieh have just been published, it may be added, are characteristic of the mun, and those who know him do not hesitate to declare that if a guarantee from prose- cution was vouchsafed to the swindler he would within ee rank among the most active commercial men of joston, RMINISCRNCRS OF 118 PORWARDNESS. Out in Newion, whero Winslow lived, he was never looked upon ag a modest or retiring map. in the mat. ter of politics he was especially cheeky. : He was a prohibitiouist when Wendell Phillips was up for “Gov. ernor, but the next year he thought it would be more protiable to return to the republican party, and return be did. The motive for this was to secure an election to the House, und he was eminently successful. In that body be soon became a marked man on accouat of his debating qualities and the tree use which he made of them, The next year he was also’ elected to the House, but only by « small majority, and the year alter he determined io try for the Seuatorship. WE HAD MANY RNEMIXS, and the canvass w: botoue. Those arrayed against him were of the upper ten element, and these Winslow openly ridicuied aud defled. He had the b’hoy element behind him, and this carried bim into tho Senate. Whether it was principloor policy that led him to make friends with the lower classes cannot be said definitely, ‘but it is certain that the mob was always with him. Whether they wero wanted at the caucns or at the polls this Methodist parson was sure of » host of Irish democrats, mauy of whom had feceived employment from him while he was making bis real estate purchases and improvements. During the campaign for the Senatorship the story was given out by some one in bis interest that he was planning.to make great improve- ments the next year, which would give employment to scores of shovellers, and that his [riends would be most likely to get employment. The result was the presence of the tip-cart brigade in large numbers on election day, all anxious to vote tor him early and often, HOW HE WORKED THR CANVASS. Io the contest tor the nomination ebery town was couvassed. Not that he was visible in the canvass, jor he prudently kept out of sight, but his henchmea wore busy early aud late. These included some of the bost aud some of the worst politicians in toe district. In tact, the bad repute of some of his agents burt his chances, but the wirepallera were captured, however, and the nomination secured. A SOREWD DODGE, Ono of his shrewa bits of practice was his change of frout to regard to the How. J. M. 8. Williams’ nuimina. tion for Congress, He opposed this most strenuously from the drat unttl alter enough delegates had been ehosen to muke it certain tbat Williams would be nominated, alter which he came quietly round to bis support. There were those who were uucharitable enough to suppose that he was bought up in some way by Willams’ friends, but it is more probable that he was afraid of Mr. Williams’ supporters. Besides, he was alwaya a loyal partisan, and believed generally in standing by the regular nominations. The election of “Winslow, alter 18 Domination, was not a sure thing, for the ais- trict had gone democratic a year beforo, The clerical mauipulation was equal to the occasion, however, for nearly every Irish democrat in the various towns were, for some reuson or other, persuaded to xcratch thi own candidate and go for the man who now aeclaros that in politics he was always pure and honorable, HOW WB APPEARED ON THE STUMP. Winslow also took the stump during the canvass, speaking at Natick and Framingham, with Sevator Dawes and othera His speeches were characteristic. He was bold, cheeky and radical, almost trightening some of the timid politicians, He told his constituents squarely where ne stood on the liquor question. “If you wanta man to go to the State House to vote for license or free rum you had better vote for the ovber map, jor! shall vote to shut up every ram shop the State,"’ be said plainly trom the platiorm. In spi of this, pert from cause of it, bo got the votes tho drinkers and even of the sellers, while he lost those of the pronibitionists and chureh-going people, large numbers of whom, even at that time, had no contidence in him, His epecches on State and national © issues were vory eloquent, and the State Central Com- muitee had nuincrous demands for his services outside of his district, some of which he filled. He was elected by about 100 mayority. WINSLOW'S SENATORIAL CAREER. There was no more active oF progressive legislator in either branch than Senator Winslow. He held the chairmanship of two of the most important joint com- mittees, those on Labor and Prisons. His capacity tor work was enormous, No legislator toiled Larder or accuinplished more, aod all this, seemingly, without fatigue. A man of trail physique, be bad an inexhausti- Die supply of nerve force. Toward the iast of the session, in tho heats of early summer, when his col- leagues were worn and jaded, Wiusiow would come bouncing up the long fi ights of steps at the Capitol entrance, looking as fresh as if the enervating at- mosphere of the Senate chamber and committee rooms had vad for him only the tomre and exhilarating eifect of the resinous pine woods of Carolina, Ho was the head and front of the woman sullrage movement, and . He led the probivitionist campaign owed himself a good general, was full of pluck and courage, and showed timself able and courteous debater. Among nis political op- ponents he was personally liked, and his presence was everywhere the aseurance of urbanity, LAST YEAR'S CANVASS, Last fall be entered into the canvass for the nomina~ tion, expecting nv upposition, but be found his Newton e es were determined to beat him. He resorted 9 to the tactics which had served him #0 woil in 1574, but was beaten by 4 single vote in the Conve: tion, Thus it bappened that one vote saved Massa- chusetts the disgrace of an abscopding Senator. In all his career im politics Winslow made warm friends, Perhaps the most singular of these was tbat of Dr. Loring, President of tue Senate, who was frequently im the habit of calling biin to the chair to fill the place in his abeevce, He was a good presidiog officer and was much hiked by the membors, and might possibly have been elected to the Presidency of the Senate if that oue ‘vote in the Convention had been cast differonty, THE FRIENDLESS GARBAGE, FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO FIND A HOME FOR IT AT FLUSHING, A new phase has occurred in the conflict between the Brooklyn and Now York police with regard to the dumping of garbage and other refuse matier collected im the ots of New York in the Lower Bay, A few days since Mr, Wiliam Turner, who is a resident of Flushing, waited upon Captain Gann of the Sircet Cleaning Bureau, and stated he was willing that the authorities sbould Gump the garbage in frout of the Hoffman House in Flushing Bay, forty acres of which he said be owned §=The ofler was immediately accepted and a number of scows, under charge of Captain Killie lea, were taken to the locality designated by Mr. Ture ner.
