THE COURTS. Taxes of the Pacific Mail Steamship .Company. The Case as Appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Application for Stay Pending Deci- sion on Such Appeal. Important Questions of Ju- risdiction. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company is still igbting im the courts its battle already protracted through two years against the Commissioners of Taxes and Assess- ments with a view to get rid of payment of the amount of tax as levied upom its personal property, assessea Dy the Commissioners of Taxes at $20,000,000, After their personal property was assessed at this amount the company applied to the Commissioners for a re- duction from the amount of the assessment, cla‘ming that it was altogether too large. The history of tho cave bag already veen fully givon in the Hemaxp dur- ‘ng the protracted litigation upon the motion in the courts, 16 baving been carried from the State Court to the Court of Appeals, and thence taken to the United States Supreme Court. The company insisted that their property ta the city amounted to only $1,330,000. The Commissioners finally fixed the assessmont— Wis was for the your 1874—at $5,749,518, A writ of certiorari was obtained, a the tase carried to the Suprome Court, General Term, which Court ordered a reduction trom the assessment of $104,250, this being the value of the Calfornia Dry Dock Company imcluded in the property taxed. Not satisfed with thie adjudication of the case, the matter carried to the Court of Appeals, which tribunal afirmed the judgment of tho General Term. One of the points raised by the company was that a portion of the property taxed at $2,344,268 conswied of steam- ships and other vesseis permanentiy located on the Pacific coast. It was insisted that the taxing of this Property was an iofringement upon the United States constitution, and with a view to test this question an Appeal was taken to tho United States Supreme Court. Directly tollowing such appoal a bond for $260,000 was pven by the company and approved by Judge Hunt, df the Court of Appeals, pending the Gnal cecision by tho United States Supreme Court. It is claimed that this bond has the force of a stay or all proccedings pending the decision of the Court of final resort. It \s clasmed by the Tax Coummssioners, on the contrary, that such bond does not operate asa stay, and for this Feason the steamship Colon was seized yesterday as security for the payment of the unpaid tax. argued at col jeravle Pacilic Mail Steamstip Company fo1 jay the Comm: ners of Tuxes, cr any other officials, trom voller the personal taxes of the company, assessed tor 1874, as described above, unt the case pow peuding in the Uni Court, Messrs. Michael H. Cardozo and Anurew Boardman appeared on behalf of the sieamsbip com- pony. and James C, Carter tor the Tax Commissioners, 'r, Cardozo, who made the opening argument, cited the ed that, apon tne state of fa company was vutitied to the stay asked ior, He cited various author- ities in support of the position thus taken. lolowed by Mr. Boardman, who urged upon ‘he Court substantially the ot law, claiming that the certiora ibe force of a stay of proceedings, and prohibited any lurtber action in tho pi jatil the United States Bupreme Court bad given its decwion. Mr. Carter Hrenvougiy refuted the points raised by the moving counsel. Ho insisted that the writ of certiorari was simply a writ of right; that it was a very ancient writ, dating back to the King’s Bench, and originated for the simple purpose of preventing inferior tribunals from executing their functions; that it arrests nothing and supersedes nothing; that taxes must be paid; that there is no power to pronibit their payment, and that the only remedy 16 to pay them and thea, ‘roneous, take the proper legai steps to have the same refunded. In the course of his argumont he stated that several years agoan attemps was mude in California to assess there the plaintift’s property; ch attempt was Tesisted on the ground that ¢ company was ip- corporated thie city, and its property ‘was not within the jurisdiction of California, ‘and upoa such ground the case was carried to tne United States Supreme Court, whereas the company now claim that the property taxed 1 California is without the jurisdiction of the Court bere and cannot be taxed here. Judge Barrett int{mated that he thought that under Whe tacts as stated the application should moro roperly be made to tae United States Supreme Court, je, however, would examine into the matter, and re- quested the counsel to pass up their papers and briets, whieh they did.

Several causes bave conspired to produce a tem. porary inacuvity in the export oi! trade, which has necessitated the discharge of a partof the working force employed by refiners. The European market, which is comparatively bare of oil, has refused to pay the prices asked by American producers and rofinors, The difference between the prices offered and thove claimed is very slight, being one cent and somo mills, The prices offered range trom twenty-fcur to twenty- five cents, while the refiners claim twenty- six cents. This difference, though very int, bas caused an appreciable decline 1p export, for shippers refuse to pay the price asked. The Oght ss rathor one-sided, for the producers have strong arguments of economy in their case, The supply has decreased during the past year, while the demand has maintained its usual strength. In times gone by an average of 30,000 barrels a day was pre- duced, while pow 26,000 is a very good average. Tho wolls that have been struck recently are not as pro- ductive as those of a year or two ago and European consumers have not yet found sympathy with the ad- ‘vance in price. Thus it will be seen that the advance in prices is a legitimate ene and must be accepted. ‘This, coupled with the faet thas the foreign are not largely stocked, makes a break in the resist- ance ofthe shippers inevitable, In many quarters it 48 expected that basiness will be brisk before the week ends, and all concerned are emp! ‘that the shippers must soon pay the prices. The ports on the North Sea will soon have to come in dnd make their purchases, for isthey be long deferred shipments | dereon to get him a saw, be wanted to fix a ‘will bo impossible on account of the ice blockade. This condition of the market bas, as intimated, produced a momentary page in the proauction of refined oil and factor are working short-handed for a short ume. A Hxnratp reporter yesterday visited several gentie- men interested in the o!] trade and hoard their views onthe subject. All agree that the consumors must pay the prices, as they are just. MR. LOCKWOOD's VIEWS. Mr. Lockwood, of the firm of Lock Ross & Holly, said that’ for eome time past there han been a very inactive market in oj, and that shipments since August have been very fo This was vecasioned by the refusal of consumers abroad to pay the prices de- manded by the American market, and thelr continued refusal was the resuit of a belief that prices would come down. The prices have held, and ihe prospects are that the consumers will have to conform to instead of regulating the murket, To make up the same amount of export for the yoar 1876 as that shown for 1875 it will be necessary to ship 1,000,000 barrels of oil between date and December 31. Mr, Lockwood does not think that there is oil enough in stock on the other side to supply the demand for a month. MR. FLEMING’S VIEWS, Mr. Fleming, of the firm of Sono, Fleming & Co., hi ‘market has been dull for s me past with which orders trom abroa not yet become of refined oil, but quite strong enouxh to Production ot oil has de- creased during the iast and we have now 26,000 barrels a day as compared with from 30,000' to 40,000 past.

J., Oot, 16, 1876, Jn the Mercer county Court of Oyer and Terminer in this city this moruing Mrs, Irene A. V. Huuse was placed on trial, charged with manslaughter, in having killed her husvand, Orson A. House, in Lawrence township, on the 30th of June last. Long before tho opening of the court every available seat was occupied, and the space inside of the railing, reserved tor law- yers, together with the aisles, were packed, The in- terest in the case was ata high pitch, and continued #o throughout the day. Mra House appeared in court about ten minutes after the opening She was dressed im deep mourning. Her face was very pale, and her expression careworn and fretful. She was accompanied by her father, a thin, wiry-looking man, with remarkably sharp features, He looks more like a brother than the father of the prisoner. rs, House wi ated between him and her counsel, Mr. E.T. Green, Now and again she closed her eyes and appeared as if asleep, and at other times she eyed the Court and counsel closely, bat hardly ever looked in the direction of the audience, She amused herselt with a fan, Attorney General Vanatta assisted Mr. Beasley, Jr., im the prosecution, A brother of the deceased, Mr, Gerrits House, who, it was reported, tried to marry the prisover, occupied a seat neat to the Attorney General, Mr. Groen alone conducted the defence, THR JURY. There was not much trouble in securing a jury, ouly three challenges having been made, and those were by the defence, Jacob Stull, James Nutt and Mablon M. gerum being the gentlemen exeused, Tho following are the names of the jurors:— Henry ©. Paxson, foreman; Henry 8. Booz, Joho Risdon, George Hays, William Clark, Thomas MoNichol, Charles Shilling, John Vanness, Henry J. Bennett, John Bromholtz, William F. Speelor, Casper Murtino, These gentlemen look to be possessed of about avor- age intelligence. OPENING SPEECH. Mr. Beasley, 1n opening the case for the prosecu- tion, said that this was a case which the jury was called upon to try between the State and Mrs, House for killing ber husband, and it is on an indictment for manslaughter. Manslaughter is a second crime only to that of murder, lt ig an iinportant case in every sense of the word—im- portant to the prisoner at the bar, the county and the State, 1t isimportant to establish, as I believe will be established, that juries in Mercer county, us they have vot in the past, nor will they in the future, listen to the suffocating and sickening ploas of sentimen- tality as is done in some other counties. [t ie im- portant to establish that without fear or prejudice tho law in {ts justice and integrity shall be maintained, ‘He said it was po more than necessary to casually refer to the circumstances of wpe case. Ho here gave an outline of the facts of the shooting, and said he had nothing turther to add, except he wanted to call the attention of the jury, and ho hoved they would remember it during the whole trial, that this is not a case between the family aud representatives of Mr. House and the prisoner at the bar. It might as well be understood that State prosecutions will not submit to any outside interference, and he would say that the Jaw does not recognize any Jeeling of animosity. It is the law that has been biokea on the one side, It is true that [ bave rejused private counsel, and as lon, as I hold the office of prosecutor I will ever do so, will never submit to have State prosecutions turned into private persecutions. If the prosecution 18 conducted properly: it wili be with but one view, und that is to get at tbe truth of the whole mattor, and then leave it Wo the jury to decide. We will make every plea that Tight and justice will demand, To put now tor once and forever atanend tho vile slanders of miserablo prints, When they insinuate that justice shall not bo done in this case by the prosecution, let a Mercer coanty jury establish the fact that they are here tor no other end but that of the maintenance of the law, THR RVIDEXCE. The first witness catied was Dr. Thomas H.

At five o'clock the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning. Judges Buel . Tyler and Atchley sat on the Boneh with the Chief Justice during the trial. MARTIN TUPPER INTERVIEWED, To roe Epiror or tux Heraup While I thankfully admit the general accuracy, abil- ity and, Imay add, kindliness of the genileman deputed by you to visit me, I beg your indulgence for the ex- planation of two very important words which otherwise might lead to widespread misconception—to wit, “plagiarist”? and “indigent.” The first respects my judgment of Walt Whitman, whom, under the question, my honesty was forced to condemn; not, however, as to originality, which is wild and absolute enough, but on the score of morals, whereon I will not enlargo, simply protesting, as 1 must, against “the fleshiy school” of poets, It ta true, however, that I said(what justifies your report so far) that Whitman was sup- posed by us in Eugland to have more oF less travestied trange tirade on the “First Exhibition,” and in partsto have followed the proverbial style of my own old book, But the curt “plagiarist” is much too strong; for noone could dispute Whitman’s Intense ty. My socond word is personal, and I am sure your justice will at once cure what is evidently & compositor’s error and ridiculous enough. When interrogated as to my private circum. stances, 1 answered frankly and truly, ‘*Iudependent.”’ It is somewhat startling to see that grand word contracted into “indigent.” Happily, a firm in Wall street, connected with my London banker, knows bet- ter than that. The printer and as your worldwide circulation makes tho correc- tion important to my credit, I am sure you will admit it, In this connection I might have added that re- cently my Queen has honored me with a pension on the civil lst, exprossly for *‘Proverbial Philosophy.” Give me space also for one word more, In praising “Hiawatha”? (whea Longfollow was inquired of) I said it was the red man’s classical epic, and would be his monument when the race was extinct; speaking much m the same way of the beautiful ‘‘Evangolme.” 1 volunteered likewise a note of admiration for the ven- erablo Bryant; but this, a8 atrcism and a pleonasm, was, perhaps, better omitted. Thanking you for your favor, 1 am, sit, yours very faithfully, MARTIN F. TUPPER Brooxiyn, Oot. 16, 1876.

Punctually at half- past three they formed in line in front ot Delmonico’s, corner of Filth avenue and Tweaty-sixth strect, under the command of Lieatenant Colonel Cyras H.

The route was through Madi. son avenue, Thirty-fourth street, Filth avenue, Broad- way, Se enth strest, Fourth avenue, Astor place, Broadway, thence through Fourteenth street, up Fitth avenue to the place of formation. The appoarance of the voterans was very imposing. The streets on both sides were crowded with lookers-on, brought out doupt- less by the cloar, bracing we: r to seo the parade. Arrived at Delmonico’s, they drew ap in line in ‘Twonty-sixth strest, and iber, white t enth Regie ment Band played a stirring march, they tiled into Deimonico's, whero a splendid dinner had been pro- vided for them, BOGUS AUCTIONS. Nearly a month ago @ noted confidence wowan named Helen B, Dexter was committed by Justice Kasmire for swindling Mrs, Margaretta U'Brien, an aged lady, residing at No, 117 Macdougal street, out of furniture valued at $2,000, It was ascortained that the turniture had been sold by an auctioncer named James M, Haven, of No, 30 East Seventy-third street, Yester- day Justice Kasmire, acting on information furnished by Counsellor Gold Teproesenting the prosecution in the case of Mrs. Dexter, had Haven brought into court with bis ealesbook. It appeared trom examination of the book that he had sola Mrs. O'Bri furniture to parties bearing d: nt ComMOBpiace naines, and, contrary to the statute, had not entered the names of the purchasers on his book.

Mr. Goodsell read an essay on the subject, it which he said that young eonverts bad been taker away [rom the churehes by them, tnat they bad broker up pastoral relations, that they bad disparaged thr ministry by invidious contrasts, that they do pothiay as organizations which they could not do as wells individuals, and that unless some of the vices uow com nected with them can be remedied they should be dis solved, They formachurch within # chureb, having a membership, a leader and @ constitution o their own, and that some of them are composed of probationers and malcontents, that they are tot fond of Sunday excursions and of a following o% young tadies and manifest too great boisterousness in their operations, and that where bands are numerous rivalry exists, They each seek to draw larger numbers than the other and so encourage the universal crime of the churches to-day.
