» eercifieates outstanding and unpaid June 30, THE COURTS. Indictments by the Grand Jury of the United States Court. Plea in Abatement to a Crooked Whiskey Indictment, Stopping Sailors’ Butter and the Sailors Stopping Work. No Stay for Garibaldi Except to Stay on the Island. 1 SS Judge Benodict sat in the criminal branch of the United States Court yesterday to receive the final re- portof theGrand Jury and to hear motions, The Grand Jury presented indictments against F. W. Jenkins alias David A. Craig, and against Eli Fields on @ chargo of countertciting, and against Heury Jurgens on a charge of passing counterfeit national bank notes. The Grand Jury were then discharged with the thanks of the Court, The argument on the motion to quash the indietmont against Julius Steglich, charged with fraud on the Custom House, concluded by Mr, Louis J. Post for the defendant, and the Court took the Papers. In the case of Philip Roargove, charged with counterfeiting, a nolleyprosequi was vntered and Assist ant Unitea States District Attorney Foster filed intor- mations, WHISKEY RING CASES. The cuse of Philip H. Tuska, indicted on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the government by ‘crooked whiskey” transactions, came up on the demurrer to the defendant’s plea in abatement. The plea set up that the Grand Jury, finding the indictment was irreg- ularly constituted with regard to numbers and resi- dence and property qualifications of the jurors, Assist- apt District Attoruey Foster demurred to the p und the question was argued at length. Judge Ben- €dict delivered an opinion. in which, after passing Upon other points, he says:—It has been of frequent oc- currence in this district to summon forty-eight persons as a panel of grand jurors, and if inevery criminal prosecution the accused Las the legai right, by a plea in abatement, to raiso the question of the residence and the property of each of the members of the Grand Jury, and require that issue to be tried before a jury calling upon him to answer the charge, it is easy to See that in localities like New York the practice would Substantially render the trial of an offender optional with him, for, in the absence of any better method of Selecting juries for courts of the United States than that permitted by existing law, it doubtless happens that some one of the grand jurors is open to question &s to bis residence or property, The plea was set aside and the accused ordered to plead anew to the indict- ment. TH MUTINY ON THE SCHULTZ. John Jackson, B, Gaskitt and James Alloynes, three eolored sailors, who were arrested by Deputy Marshal Harris on a charge of mutiny, were taken before Com- missioner Betts yesterday for examination, The evi- dence showed that the men were cngaged by James Thompson, master of the schoouer P. C. Schultz, ply- ing between Virginia and this port, Shortly afer sail- Ing, on the last voyage, the crew evinced an indisposi- tion to work, and the captain, to punish them, stopped their butter, he not being able to stop their grog, ag Brog had not been allowed them. Tho withdrawal of ne of the most important aud necessary articles ot dict still further incensed the men, and they notified the captain in the usual nautical language that it they could hot splice the main brace with butter they would not work, The captain, in reply, ordered the men to let the Jib go, in order that the Vessel inight tack, but the sailors jeeringly reminded him of their hard tack without buiter, and Jet the ancher go instead. Finally the vessel reached this port, and Captain Thompson had the mon arrested for mutiny and dictating a bill of faro. Counsel tor the prisoucrs moved to discharge them, but Commissioner Letts denied the motion, and the case was adjourned until next Monday. GARIBALDI GOT TO GO. He of the Garibaldi alias, John Barnascotta, con- wicted in the Court of General Sessions, belore Re- corder Hackett, of keeping a disorderly house, and sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and to be imprisoned in the Ponituntiary for one year, has evidently, as mat- ters look now, got to go to thé pena! institution named and enhance the city’s wealth by a year’s penal labor. Judge Barrett yesterday gave his decision denying the application tor w writ of error and stay of proceeuings. The toliowing 18 the indorsement by Judge Barrett on the papers giving bis reasons for denying the applica- tion :—"tA perusal of the testimony has satistied mo ‘with respect tothe only poimt upon which I had a floubt upon tho argument, and [ must tuerefore deny the there being, 1 my judgment, no reasonable doubt as to the legality and justice of the conviction.” This decision aiso carries with it the case of Amelia Behmidt, jointly convicted with Barnascotta, FOR£ZLIGN ADJUDICATIONS. Tn 1863 Mr. Norton executed a bond and mortgage to Heimrich Wiener, 01 Philadelphia, upon certain prop- erty in this city. 1a 1870, the mortgage falling due, it was renewed. In 1875 Mr. Wiener died, leaving a will and appointing his widow executrix, She assigned the mortgage to his son, who commenced a foreclosure. Auswers were interposed to the complaint and the cause ame up for trial before Judge Robinson, Equity Term of the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Henry H. Morange, counse! for the defendants, made a mo- Yon to dismiss the complaint, on the ground that 1 did tot contain facts sutlicient to constitute a cause of action; that there was no averment in the complaint; jhat the Register for Wills of the city and county of Philadelphia had jurisdiction either to adm:t a wil to probate or grant letters testamentary, and that a com. plaint on a judgment of a foreign court of inferior Jurisdiction wast state facts showing that the Court hua jurisdiction, and that section 161 of the code did not apply to foreigu judgmouta. He cited numero: authorities. Mr. David Thurston, tor plaintiff, was heard in reply. The Court, nowever, held the objec- tions to be valid, but gave ‘the plamtff leave to apply to amend on payment of costs of term anu trial foe. INSURED FOR NOTHING. ‘The rare circumstance of a party insured getting the yest of the company insuring was presented in Part 1of the Marine Court, before Judge Alker, yesterday. A suit was brought by the Oswego and Onondaga Insurance Dompany to recover from Margarct Kiengle $52 650, being tho premium agreed by her to be paid in advance on the 9b of March, 1875, on a policy of insurance against fro issued on her property in this city on tho sume day. It appears, so far as the pleadings in the ase disclose, that Margarct in some way got posses. Bion of the policy without first having paid the agreed promium, and, finding her property thus iusured free of cost, concluded to let it remain so as long as the Amount of the promised premium would carry it. When tho case was called neither Margaret nor any one on her bebalf made an appearance, and the com- pany got judgment by default for the full amount claimed. MATRIMONIAL UNPLEASANTNESS, James M.

In the Court ot Appeals, September 29, 1876, 1t was ordered ‘that this Court will take a recess on the 6th day of October, 1876, to the 13th day of November next, that a new calendar be then made and all cases upon the present calendar undisposed of will be placed thereon without turther notice, All other cases must bo noticed aua the notice of argument filed with the Clerk on or before the 1st day of November, 1867.”" EDWIN O. PERRIN, Clerk, The Clerk respecttully calls the attention of the Bar to the following important facts:— 1. All notices of argument filed since the tast calen- dar was made, March 20, 187 for nothing, but ning undisposed of noticed. 2. No cause will be placed upon the preterred calen- unless prenotice is distinctly claimed in the notice of argement under rule 20 of this court, naming the class to which the cause belongs un that rule, and briefly stating the reason for such preterence; notes of jasue are not used and need not accompany notice of argument, 6, Notices of appeals from orders entitled to be heard AS motions must distinctly state the cause to be “a motion,’ and should be druwn jor a motion day; judgments should be noticed tor Monday, November 13, upon which day the Court opens. 4. All notices tiled befo e return is filed aro worthless; under no circumstances will avy case be placed on tho caiendar before the return is filed; all returns must be properly certified under the hand and seal of tho Clerk of the Court below. 5. Unless returns are filed betore November 1, as directed in the order of the Court, the cause will not be placed on the culendar; one day after wiil be late. 6. Subdivision 2 of rule 21, relative to “passed” causes, will be strictly enforced unless restored on motion; these causes are treated as a ‘dismissed’? without costs, and will not again go on calendar. 7. The title of the cause and the names of counsel aro always taken from the notico of appeal to Court Counsel should see that they are corectly set orth, & The Clerk particularly requests that lawyers will write their own address in tull, aud also the tull ad- dress of their opposing counsel, upon each notice of argument. A careful reading of the above simple rules will save much useless correspondence and also much troubie and annoyance both to lawyers and to the Clerk. E. O. PERRIN, Clerk. THR RECESS, The Court took a recess to-day until Monday, No- vember 13, the first week after the Presidential elec- tion, Chief Justice Church goes to his home at Al- bion, Orleans county, there to remain quietly until the clections are over. Judge Folger to his home at Geneva; Judge Androws, to Syracuse; Judge Earl, to the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia; Judge Ra- pello, to his home in New York; Judge Miller, to Hud- son, Columbia county; Judge Allen, remaining bere where he lives. Mr, £. 0. Perrin, the Clerk of tne court, willtake the stump forthe democratic ticket during the canvass, ‘The Court, before taking its recess, reached nearly every case on the ealendar, except those which ‘stipulated over by counsel, and bave taken bome with them a large number of cases on which they propose to write opinions during thelr —_ vacation. The Court proposes in future to muke threo calendars =a@ year, and ex- pect to go totheendof their last calendar before the close of each year. This will be an unprecedented achievement for the highest court in the State, as the old court often had cases upon its calendar for seven years. It will also put a peremptory stop to appeals taken purely for delay, which, in other days, often amounted to a denial of justice. POLICE COURT NOTES. Jacob Wertheimer, who refused to say where he lived, was committed for trial by Justice Flammer, at the Essex Market Court yesterday, for stealing a coat worth $20 from Jacob Austin, of No, 372 East Eighth street. George Hill, who claimed to be a compositor, resid- ing at No, 48 East Fourth street, was arraigned before Justico Fiammer, at the Ess Market Court charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, valued *at $60, from Frank S. Smith, of No. 491 South Third street, Williamsburg. The prisoner said that the com- plainant, who was drank, had given him the wateh and chain for safe keeping. He was held im $1,000 bail to answer. In the case of Maggie Turnbull and her niece Nina Hopkins, arrested by Detective O'Neill, of the Ninth precinct, for stealing a watch and pair of bracelets, worth $100, trom thetr landlady, Mra, Isabella Brady, of No. 45 Barrow street, Justice Kasmire yesterday af- ternoon held Mrs, Turnbull forexamination, eos ult of $500 bail, and discharged Miss Hopkins. ‘he case is regarded us one of mistaken identity, Mrs. Tarnbuil being the wite of Mr. J. C. Turnbull, of the Kiralfy Combination, and a lady weil known in the theatrical profession. REAL ESTATE. The following business was transacted at the Real Estate Exchange yesterday :— Richard V.

Lee, of No, 9 Pine street, attorney for E. Grabam Haight, a creditor ot Dancan, Sherman & Co., conducted the examination, as before, and Mr. F. N. Bangs, of No, 137 Broadway, appeared as Mr. Dun- can’s counsel, A summary of the questions put and answers clicited 1s bere given:— “When you went to see Mr. Ward (of Baring Bros & Co.) did you produce to him any statement in writ- ing?” “1 did pot.” “Did you show him any memorandum of figures?” “To the best of my recollection I did not.” “State what you said to him in relation to the asse! of your frm.” “| will answer this and similar questions to the best of my recollection. You are asking me, to give to you minate details of events, conversations and opinions which occurred or I held more than fourteen months ‘ago, and enough has transpired in my caso during those fourtcen months to obliterate the recollection of mauy of those details and leave oaly the prineipal un- fortunate events on my mind, I said to Mr, Ward that our assets showed a considerable deficiency under our liabilities. In response to bis inquiry to what extent, 1 told him that I was then engaged mm making careta estimates and would furnish him with the informa- tion, I did not give hira any detailed statement.” “Did you tell him generally what they consisted ot??? “] take It for granted that I did.” “‘In making a list of your assets at that time did you examine into these assets yourself, personally, in order to get at the amount in value thereof?” “1 did.” “Do you remember now, sir, what these assets were composed of generally ? “Yes. They were composed of the aesets enumerated as having been assigned to Judge Shipman.

GEORGE HAMMILL, Rome, N. Y. The fall meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association promises to attract to Lexington strangers from all parts of the country. Quite a dole- gation talk of going on from New York. The meeting opens on the 17th. The purses have large ovtries, and races of the most interesting description will be the result, Of turee-year-olds:-—Centennial, Keene Jim, Waveland Chief, Al Romauce and Cygnet are named to start.

Last week in Philadelphia there was more or less talk 10 breeding errclos about the propriety of estabiish- ing an association to take charge of colt races in tho future, The proposition was that the breeders should band themselves together to give at least one trotting meeting each year ata central point, The produce of ihe breeding farms, under the designated plan, are to be entered in stake races, limited to three, four, five and six-year olds. Nu pool seliing is to be allowed on the grounds, and the prices of admission ure to be fixed so low as to invite the atteudance of all, Twenty- five cents admission and twenty-tive cents additional fora seaton the grand staod were the figures sug gested, As there will be no added money the receipts at these low prices ought to be large enough to more than cover the expenses of advertising and track rent, In case the receipts foot up more than the expenses the Surplus 1s to go into the bands of a treagurer uud to be held by him as an association fund; said tund to be used in giving strengtu to the organization. Tbe meet- ings are to be held oue year im the East and the next yeur in the West ‘The breeders who met in council at Philadelphia thougut so well of the plan tuat wo doubt not steps will be taken at an early day to form the association and to draw up a programme ior next autumy, ‘Tbe gentlemen who are engaged in mould- ing the trotting horse desire to bring their young stork prom.veatly before the public, and wo kuow of no way in which they can do it more profitably aud pleasantly than jo @ series of aunual stakes. ‘The proprietors of breeding farms are gentiemen of great intelligence, bigh soci) position und solid worth, Uur Backwans, our Mortons, our Bonners, our Thornes, our Rutiers, our Robinsons, our With our Durkees, our McDowells, our Delanos, our Buck: inghaws, our Alexanders, our Peppers, and bundreds vf oibers, aro tue peers of any geutieman in the land, and that Which they take under their sheitering wing must command the most cordial approval of all, A meeting ‘uunaged by them could not jail to have tone or to appeal to the support of the best elements of every community. As gentlemen they would trot their own toils n/a gentlemanly way, aud the races would be free irom jockeywm, What 18-more im- portant, in the list of owners @ gentieman’s name would not be sandwiched by ines of greedy ad- venturers. ‘Tho annual meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club will commence on Tuesday, October 24, and continue Wodnesday, Toursuay und Friday. Aw tho meeting 18 a great favorite Buitimore will be crowded the latter part ot thisimouth, The horses will tight their fnai battles of the year over the Pimlico course. This tact adds to the interest of the approaching races, and notn- ing but tue weather will aifect the attendance, The October days usually are the brightest in the vicinity of Baltimore; therelore it is uot worth while to bor- 10W troubie on the weather score, The bandseme and speedy bay mare, Fawn, which Mr. Griswold purchased of Mr, Milla three years ago, died of ulceration of tho bowels ob Saturday last. 5! was by Dictator, out of Mingo, vy lron Duke, by Cas sius M.

Anumber of wealthy Cubans for several years resi- dent in the United States have become much infatuated with trotting sport, and think that, if a properly ap- ranged track suould be lwid out near Havana, the sport would soon become popularized and soon be con- sidered a permanent imstitution. With this view they have parchifed inthe viciwity of Havana a pleasant location for a first class trotting track and are rapidly laying it out upon the most approved plan. They are confident that the track when finished will be equal in all respects to tho best appointed course in America, as no expense Will be spared to reach thisend. The bies fur the accommodation of horses will be sub- niial and roomy, so that the stock will be com- fortable and have all the advanteges. One of their agenis, Cvlonel De » 18 now in this city, securing control of several of our prominent trotters, aud bas already purchased a number of fast ones which have made a good record on the turf, It is expected that, when everything 1s finished, sul- ficient inducements will be heid out for owners of fast trotiers, instead of wintering their horses in the cold wintry air of the North, that they will be persuaded to transport them to Cuba and trot them through the winter months. The climate of the Ever Faitutul Isio is deliguttul during the wenter season. When in tho North everything 18 frozen and no exercise can be given trotting stock In Cuba everything is tull ot Iie ind enjoyment, nature bursting with the luxuriant growth of a tropical temperature, We are couildent this new movement will result in a telling success, CRICKET.

The St. Georges in their second inning were strengthened by the help of Marsh (19), Mostyn (5) and Percy (1). The other batsmen did fair, Mr. Moore showing some very fine cricket playing.

Bears who had been belated and unable to save themselves before gong sound were quick to inake up for lost time, while sluggish bulls, who were just waking up to the sharp advance, were cager to get im, even at high tide. It was not to be expected that the specu- lative bullets which bad been flying so thickly were to be without their Dillets -in less degree than the pure prosaic ones of iron and lead, and it fell to the Jot of Mr. H. A. Patterson to suffor as tho target, Mr. Patterson, ono of the most active ot speculators, has been credited with having made a pot of money in the decline of the coal stocks, and his suspension created some- what of a surprise, as well as sympathy, amorig those who had not drawn him in the pool. The immediate eflvct of the failure was to cause considera ble lots of various stocks to be bougnt m “under the rule,”’ which produced an uneasy feeling and a wayer- ing of prices, particularly m the anthracite shares, Subsequently things looked brighter and prices ral- lied, but the steady pace torward of yesterday’s mar- ket was lost for the greater part, and the session was characterized by irregularity and feverishness. It was quite evident that the bull clique were endeavoring te make hay while the sun shone, which was no easy matter now that the short interest has beon so greatly reduced, andso little assistance 1s offering from out- side the Board room. Still, by skilfal stimulation of prices, they wero evabied to place considerable lots of stocks, though the market had to be pulled together again alter each effort, like a horse in a waiting race, ‘The result was to create a ragged market, with prices tending to weakness and lower figures genorally for final dealings. Tho largest transactiona, as was to be expected, were connected with the coal tancies, Lake Shore and Michi- gan Central, and with them tie greatest fluctuations also, Tho jubilee of the carly hours in these stocks lost a good deal of its hilarity before the close, and ‘with it from 1 to 2 per cent of the advance. ,oThe coal stocks were still in demand for borrowing purposes at from 3; to 4¢ per cent premium, and de faulters 1 deliveries were, as usual, brought up with a round turn “under the rule.” Some years back orders to buy in or sell out stocks were accompanied by a quar. ter per cent commision, which accrued to the officer of the Board pertorming the duty, and members were |»slow to avail themselves of a privilege which was taxed so heavily. Ihe yepeal of the rule has led to many abuses, one of which is the fashion of specu- Jating in borrowed stock by loaning cash shares which the lender has not on hand, but only expects to have, or which he hopos to ro-borrow at a lower premium later in the day. The daily recourse to the U, RB. is prolific of bad feeb ing and confusion, and as great a nuisance as thee other alphabetical atrocity known as the P, R, The salos to-day aggregated 208,000 shares, which were composed principally of Delaware and Lacka- wanna, Jorsey Central, Lake Shore and Michigan C tral, Business was likewise fairly distributed among other securities.
