“THE COURTS. What the Governor of South Carolina Said to a Bank President. Unpleasant Wind Up of a Saratoga Sojourn. Progress of the Fight for Rapid Transit. After Governor Scott laid down the gubernatorial fetus over South Carolina he took up his residence in Columbia, where also resided Hardy Solomon, cou- Spicuousiy known as the Presidout of the South Caro- Mina Bank and Trust Company. Between the two there ®@xisted the most intimate relations. The ex-Governor bud some bonds on hand and on application of Mr Bolomon kindly loaned the same to his {nend, the bonds thus loaned comprising “Columbia city bonds’? and “cousolidated bints of North Carolina”? The bonds, “it true, Were not at par value, but they ferved, as the result showed, as ample security for rais- ing money. Governor Scott claims that he loaned Mr. Botomon bonds of the description specified to the Value of $55,500, with the understanding that the same zhoula be returned within forty days, that all of the bonds were returued, excepting the Columbia tity bonds, worth $12,000, and that Mr. Solomon has Converted the latta@ to his own use and reiuses to Make good the amount, The two gentlemen, with their famihes, had been spending the summer at Saratoga, aud at a late hour one might, upon Mr. Solo- Mou’surrival in this city, he was sligutly discom- forted upon tinding that an order of arrest had been issued against him, or rather two orders of arrest— ole upon a charge ol conversion of the bonds specified und the other upon a charge of nou-payment of $5,000 money loaned, ‘The bail upon the two orders was fixed at $16,000, which was promptly furnished, thus Eaving Mr. Solomon the disagreeable necessity of any is Bullering through restricuon of his personal liberty. A motion was made yesterday, be- fore Jadgo Barrett, in Supreme “Court, Cham- bers, to vacate these orders of arrest, & Judge Fithian, who appeared on bebalf ot dr. Soiv- Won, read voluminous wilidavits which he bad pre- pared in the case, which developed, as he insisted, the whole history of the atiair. lie claimed that the bouds were loaned to Mr. Solomon individually, and that the foau of $6,000 1n money was made only ubout a month previous to the failure of Mr, Sulomon's bank. Mr. Stan- Jon, 1m opposition, proceeded to read counter affiday but he had only read a portion of to bher bearing was adjo yd until D as read the aitidayits denied that the bon y In question were loaned to Mr. Solomon individually, but to bim as president of the bank, with the understanding that they were to be bypotheeated for a loan of $50,000 from the People’s National Bank. ‘These affidivats further developed the style of banking busiuess pursued in fome of Lue reconstrucied States, it being alleged that the soie olficers of the bank of which Mr. Solomon | Was president were Mr. Solomon, as such president, a tashicr and a messenger boy. Extracts were also read Irom the testimony of Governer Scott, given before a Fommittee of the State Legistature, appointed to in- Festigate tho ailairs of the defunct bank, One DI the chief allegations is that the present -uits are brousht to coerce Mr. Solomon, who, although the bank of which be was president tailed, is still wealthy and engaged in large business operations in Columbia, Into payment of the money sued for, through tear of incarcs: ation, THE STRIFE FOR RAPID TRANSIT. ‘Timothy Gallagher, an owner of property in Green- Fich street, brought suit against the New York Ele- fated Railroad Company to restrain them perpetually from usmig dummy engines to propel tholr.cars.

ITS ANNIVERSARY TO BE CELEBRATED BY THE WESTCHESTER HISTORICAL SOCIETY—MILI- TARY AND CIVIC DISPLAY—ORATION BK HON. CLARKSON N. POTTER—WHEN, WHERE AND HOW IT OCCURRED. : The Historical Society of Westchester county has determined to take 3; ial notice of the anniversary of the famous battle of White Plains, fought during the Revolutionary War, The occasion is to be honored by acivic and military display and an address by Hon. Clarkson N. Potter. The story of the battle, which 8 noted as a crisis in the war, is about as follows:— Both armies were near White Plains on the morning of the 28th of October. The Americans were chiefly vehind their breastworks, near the village, and the British were upon the hills below, eastward of the Bronx. Chatterton’s Hill, a commanding eminence on she opposite side of the stream, was occu- pied on the evening of the 27th by Colonel Hasiet, with his Delawares, somo Maryland troops and militia—in ail about 1,600 men. Early the next morning McDougal was ordéred to re- intorce Haslet with x small corps and two pieces of artillery, under the charge of Captain Alexander Ham- ilton, and to take the general command there. Atten | o’clock the British army moved toward the village in two columns—the right commanded by General Clinton, the leit by De Heister acd Sir Wilham Erskine—in all 15,000 strong. Howe was with the second division, and when near the village held a council of war ou horseback, which resulted in a change in the point of attack. Inclining to the left the British placed fifteen or twenty pieces of artillery upon the slope southeast of the railway station, and, under cover of their fire, constructed a rude bridge over the Bronx and attempted to cross ant ascend the steep wooded heights to dislodge the Americuns from their hhastily-constracted breastworks upon Chatterton’s Hil. Hamilton had placed his two guns in battery on a rocky ledge, and these swept whole platoons trom n of the hill they were attempt to as. cend, The British recoiled, tell back to their artillery, and joined another division under General Leslio (consisting of the Second liritish brigade, the Hessian grenudiers, under Colonel Rall; a battalion of Hessian infantry and 250 cavairy), who were then crossing the Bronx u quurter of a mile below. There the assailants jomed, and tho whole force pushed up the slopes and ravines aleng the southwestern declivi- thes of Chatterton’s Hill. Gaining a gentle slo) toward the top they endeavored to turn McDougal’s right flank. His advance, under Smallwood and Rit- zema, gallantly opposed them while slowly retreating toward the crown of the eminence, until the British cavalry attacked the American militia on the extreme right and dispersed them, McDougal, with only 600 men, consisting chiefly of bis own brigade and Haslet’s corps, sustained an obstinate conflict for an hour, Twice tho British light in- tantry and cavairy were repulsed, when an attack upon bis flank by Rail compelled McVougal to give way and retreat to the intrenchments at White Piains, This was ovo in good order own the south. eastern side of Chatterton’s Hill, and across the Bronx, near the present railway station, under cover of the troops led by Putoam. McDougal carried off his wounded and artillery, and left the victors in posses- sion of only the juconsiderable breastworks upon the bill, The militia, who were scattered among the Greexburg Hills, soon collected in the intrenched camp at tho village, and there the American army rested almost undisturbed until the evening of the 31st, The British troops rested upon their arms all might after the battle, and the next day, after a ekir- mish with Glover's brigade, they encamped within long cannon shot of the American lines. Awed by the apparent strength of Washtngton’s in- trenchments Howe dared not attack him, but awaited the arrival of Lord Percy, with four battalions from Now York and two from Mamaroneck. The loss of the Americans, from tho 26th to the 29th did not exceed, probably, 300 men in killed, wounded and prisoners; that of the British was about the same. Carl Percy arrived on the evening of the 30th and preparationg wero made to storm tne American works the next morning, A tempest of wind and rain arose at midnight and coptinued for twenty hours. All operations were delayed, and on the night of the Sist, while the storm clou ere breaking and the British host were slumbering, Wasb- ington withdrew and encamped upon the heights of North Castl:, toward the Croton River, where be bad erected strong breastworks along the hills which loom up 100 feet around the waters of the Bronx. Howe was ordered to attack him there, and on the night of the 4th of November he retreated toward the junetion of the Hudsoa und Harlem rivers and encamped upon tho heights of Fordham, extending his left wing almost to Kingsbridge.

Frank McConochie, the self-confessed murderer of little Maggie Bauer, uow in a cell at the Jamaica Town Hall awaiting examinasion, is 1 a condition of abject terror and remorse, and his nervous system appears to be im an almost complete state of prostration. He weeps when addressed and takes very little food, yes. terday morning refusing everything offered him with the exception of a little coflee, The terrible crime committed by bim has evidently preyed beavily upon his mind, and it is now regarded as a wonder that he did pot betray himself when under examination last week before the Grand Jury. At that time, immedi- at@ly atter his aischarge trom custody, Detective Payne took him into bis wagon and rode with hima considerable distance. Knowing the story that he bad told in the jury rcom, Payne questioned him closely and succeeded in involving him in a number of contra- dictions, and subsequent imvestigation proved that almost his entire story was false. The shirt with the Dleody sleeve, found behind a bin in a farmer’s barn not far trom the scene of the murder, wh MeConochie left it after making a chang has proved an important link in the chai ofevidence. His. story was that the blood came Irom sores or bruises on his erm and there was a hole in it which be said was torn. While ho was at work at Mr. P.C, Barnum’s piace the shirt was returned to him and he threw it into a dirty piece of waier used as « goose pond, Payne subsequently went wo the place aud raked t arment out of the mud and fiith, took it hotne and subjected it to a caretul examination by aus of a poweriul magnifying glass. Me thus as er- tainea conclusively that the bule in the sleeve was made by aclean cut, as though with a sharp knife and besides that the blood stains were all on the ou side, proving at once that ‘they could nov have been caused by any injury or sore on the arm. When Me- Conochie was suvjected to » private oxamination at tho Jamaica Town Hail on Monday last, he having been arrested on the previous Sutumlay, he betrayed such evident nervousness that the suspicion iast him was greatly strengthened. He repeatedly exclaimed in a tremulous manner when closely questioned, *Oh, I’m honest. I’m honest. 1 never harmed any body!” And ‘onco or twice, “What do you want to break my neck for?” On " Tuesday, when Payne took him to Foster's Meadow, after he had pointed out the spot where the murder was com- mitted, he was taken to the house of Maggie’s parents, As they entered tt happened that the grandmother of the murdered girl was sharpening a kuite, Starting back and trembling in every limvy MeConochie cried, “What are you going todo?’ You're not going to kiil me now, are you:”’ It was here that the dramatic sceve between him and Maggi mother occurred. The mother asked bim what Maggie said beture be killed her, He said, ‘She cried ‘mamma!’ ”? Instantly she eprang upon the trembling wretch and throttled him go savagely that st was with difficulty that Payoe could loose her hold. And on the return to Jamaica, at the Valley station depot, it was only Payne's deter- mination, backed by a revolver, that saved McCono- chie from death at the hands of the excited crowd whieh had gathered there. The examination betore Justice Reunett on Monday will be only formal, and the prisoner will bo committed to tne County Jail to await tho action of the Grand Jury. The price of the Hunaup to-day and henceforth will be tree cents. THE BROCK MURDER TRIAL. On Wednesday tho prosecution in the trial of Ryan and Oschwald, for their allegod murder of policeman Brock, i Newark, rested, and the defence opened with addresses by the two counsel of the prisoners, Yesterday the taking of evidence for the defence was begun. Mr. Herman Schibach, a surveyor, testified that the place where the murder was committed and the home of Mr. Joseph Oschwald, father of the alleged murderer, also of tho latter, is distant a mile und a quarter, the design of the defence being to prove that Oschwald was at home and in bed at the time the murder took place. Mr. Oschwald, the father, who isa highly respectable German citizen, testified thut on the morning Brock was murdered he saw bis son Charles, the alleged murderer, washing himself in the kitchen basement; bis brother Fred was there also. Mina Finter, a servant in the house, corroborated this statement; she saw Charies, she alleged, about six o’clock in the morning with his un- dershirt and pants on, his shoes being in the ball; sho made the bed of the Oschwald brothers; it looked as if two had slept in 1t; Frederick Uschwald, the brother of the accused, testified that he drank beer with Ryan and Oschwald the night before the murder, ana went home about eleven o’cloc! Continuing, he said:—Between twelve and one Charles came home, and when he opened the door of .the room wit- ness woke up, asked him what time it was, and h said balf-past twelve; witness told him to wind op Watch, and ho told witness to wake him when he woke up; when witness woke up he found Charles in ved with him asleep; witness got up at six o’clock and woke Charlies; witaess dressed and went down staira, Jeaving Charles bebind; when witness got down stairs into the kitchen he board Charios coming down. MISSING MEN. The efforts of the police to unravel the mystory at- tending the disappearance of Mr. Phillip Ottman, the Fulton Market butcher, bave thus tar proved unsuc- cessful. The same ts true/also in the case of Bernhard HL Reinhold, the Third avenue druggist, who disap- peared on the same night. Tho friends of the former yesterday had printed a large number of postal cards, on which was pasted a smal) likeness of Mr. Oteman, and they offer a reward of $2,000 for intormation thas will k to bis discovery. The iriends of Mr. Rein- hold have adopted a similar course, differing only in |, Which is placed at $250. lice incline to the theory that both men are together, as they were friends, ani disappeared on the same night; but the relatives of the missing men re- ject this theory, believing that some misfortune hus happened to them. ‘The search, however, continues, and photographs of ae missing men have been sent to every station ouse, REAL ESTATE, At the Real Estate Exchango yesterday James M. ‘Miller sold at public auction the following property :— One five story brick baliding, with lot 25x109.6, No. 33 Baxter streot, north side, 83.2 feet west of Park street, to David Jungway, tor $20,025, One five story brick building, with lot 16x100.6, No, 41 Baxter street, west of, the above, to H.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN QUANTITY. Cooper to Slide in Between Til- den and Hayes. Tho strength of the greenback party in the Presi- dentia! campaign and the effect it may have on local issues are subjects which have received very little se- rious thought. The confidence expressed by its leads ers und the claims made by them toa large following may prove interesting iu certain quarters where the strength of the democratic und republican parties 1a equally divided, A great deal of business bas been trausacted at the Fourteenth street headquarters, aud also at Science Hall, on Eighth street, The venerable Peter Cooper, to whom the advocates of the green- back movement point with pride, divides his time be- tween the Clarendon Hotel and No, 162 Broadway, where he receives visitors from this and other States to discuss the situation and map out the remaining work to be done, In order to place before the public the prospects of the greenbackers, as estimated by themselves, a reporter called upon Mr, John W. Crump, who is earnestly imterested in the move- ment and whose name occupies a place on the State ticket. Mr. Crump was found in his office behind tho, transparency that covers the, front ot the headquarters on Fourteenth street, He was wading through a pile of newspapers from all over the country, which brought with them words of hope and encouragement for the success of the movement. When spoken to of the prospects Mr, Cramp sai ‘I have been twenty years in politics, and it is a subject I believe Lunderstand thoroughly. Our organization in the city and county is perfect, extend- ing as it does into every Assembly district, and te equalled throughout the entiro State. We have an active executive eémmittee in every county, and with- out exaggeration we are im a most flourish- ing condition. #\The result of this election, aud especially in this State, will be a surprise to a great many people whd only smile and ridicule our strength. Why, s'r, we have parties constantly writing to us from all quarters ask- ing to have our tickets sent to them and volunteering to distribute them in our bebalf. Partios of tour and five are dropping in and offering their services gratis, and young men who have benetited by the Vooper Union are working industriously for our success. All these things lead mo to the belief that we will poll a strong vote in the city and county of New York. Our County Convention, as you are aware, bas adjour: for tho purpose of further conference. We want select a ticket from no party, but to put in the fleld men who can command support on their merit, This is the poor man’s party, but we sre not hungry nor avaricious, For our county officers we want men who are in favor of needed public works and im- provements that will give EMPLOYMENT TO LABOR u and render an adequate return. We advocate a fair day’s wages for a fair day’ work and less meney ex- pended for clerk hire. e calculate on a warm sup- port trom ingurance and real estate men, who kuow, to their cost, what heavy taxes are, aud who firmly bo heve in our movement.

In the democratic States in the West, where we see we cannot win, we join handa witn the republicans, taking representation on tho electoral ticket in proportion to our estimated strength, There area great many people who cannot or will not understand the position of the greenback party in the West. There were local issues in the recent clections which kept them trom showing their strength as they will do in November. In addition ta this, I have ictiers and information from other channels which convince me the greenback party ara the masters of the sitaation. We expect to draw largely from both parties, but it 13 estimated about eighty-five per cont willcome from the democrats, It will sur- prise Mr, Tilden and his friends when they see, I have attended State conventions of our party year afler year, and there | have seen the same faces of old and well- known demoerats. In September last a prominent re- publican made his appearance among us. | only mev- tion these things to show you that the men of our party are men of fixed ideas, and that time ts gaining strength for us Of course we do not expect to elect a majority of the electoral ticket, but we believe we are strong envugh to keep both Mr, Tilden and Mr Hayes irom art, it, We are greatly encouraged in Illinois, Indiana, Jowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nobraska, Tenneasce, Woat Virginia and North Caro- lina, and foel sanguine of sending the choice for Presi- dent be:ore the House of Representatives, I think the Forty-fourth Congress stands committed to sott money, Such men as Feruando Wood and Sunset Cox are in favor of it, and the House will be bound to stand by its record and support our candidates.

Speaking of the hctong, 4 Ucket which the soft money advocates would favor, Mr. Crump said that would bo dotermined, of course, by the conterence committee, but he believed the great majority of the voters were in favor of Smith Ely, Jr., for Mayor, That, however, did not mean that thoy favored any other Tammany candidate, They intended to look at the men only, without any party considerations, and those whom they thought the fittest would receive their support. What that support is worth, concluded Mr. Crump, some men will loarn to their surprise when the sicction is over. The price of the Wera.p to-day and henceforth awill be ture cents.
