Homor vs. Henning et al.— Error to the Su- preme Court at the District of Columbia, —This was an action against the defendants as trustees of the Wash- | ington City Savings Bank to make them personaily liable for the sum of $4,000, the allegation being that the liabilities of the bank exceeded the amouut of its capital st@ck, and that by the act of 1870, as amended, the trustees become personally liable when sucha state of things existed. The Court below sustained a demurrer to the bill, raising the point that this per- sonal or individual tiability did not apply to tho in- debtedness of a savings bank to its depositors, and averring that if 1 did the bill did not allege that the dobt claimed by the plaintiff was contracted in excess | of the amount of capital stock, and also raising the question whether the liability of the trustees was to all the creditors or toeach. 1t 1s here contended that the act speaks of creditors generally, and hence tt applies to depositors as well as others, and that it holds the shareholders liable to cach creditor who may sue, It 18 also urged that the bill was sufficiently explicit, F. P, Cufly for plaintiff inerror; W. D, Davidge for de- fendants. z4 THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. WasuinGton, Nov. 14, 1876. In the Supreme Court to-day counsel Madison Dorn, now in jail in Augusta county, Virginia, under a sen, tence of the District Court of the Unitod States, fora Violation of the Civil Rights act of Marsh, 1875, sub- mitted a motion for leave to file a petition for habeas corpus in hie case, for the purporo of having {t determined whether ho is legally in custody. The offehce charged was that he ex- cluded one Annie Smith (colored) from the reception room of the Chesapeake and jio Railroad Company, in the city of Staunton, “{or reasons not applicable to persons of every ruco and color, and re- gardiess of previous conaition of servitude.”? An- bexed to the petition is a statement of the points upon which the prfoner rel: for his hberation, name- T First—That the District Court was without jurisdie- tion to try him for the offence charged. Second—That the act of Congress does not in terms define tha an offence for which ino was tried. Third—That if the act 18 broad enough to cover such case, it comprenends other offences not within the coguizance of Congress, and that hence the act is un- coustitutional and void. Fourth—That if the act be held to provide punish- ment jor denying the accommodations and privileges enumerated in its first section, ‘on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude,” and nothing more, then it 1s not authorized by tho ‘ourteenth amend- ment of the constitution, and is null and void, The movion is made by Mussra*Sheffey and Robert- son, of Virginia.

THE MARTINEZ-DEL VALLE SUT. Some Curious Episodes of \ Metropolita Social Life. A MYSTERIOUS ENGAGEMENT RING How a Governess Expected To Be Made a Wite. PEE TRS Tho trial of the suit brought by Miss Eugenie Mar- tinez against Juan del Valle, or $50,000 damages tor ulloged seduction aud breach of promine of marriage, | was resumed yesterday beiore Judge Donohue, in Su- preme Court, Cireutt. The publicity given to the case had served to fill the) court room to its utmost ca- pacity. Miss Martinez came into the court room with er mother anda younger sister, and they ook seats behind her counsel, Messrs. William A, Beach and Augustus C, Brown, Her great personal beauty, to- gether with the many points of interest introduced in the case, very naturally made her the cynosure of every eye. Diagonally opposite to her, seated at tbe end of the table occupied by the counsel, sat Mr. Del Valle, whose gray hair and whiskers were in striking contrast with the raven tresses of the young plaintiff, He was evidently nervous, while Miss Martinez di played evtire scl{-possession, He occupied a seat close proximity to Sr, Joseph H. Choate, his counsel. CROSS-RXAMINATION OF MISS MARTIXER, Directly on the calling of the Courvto order Miss Martiaez was again called to the witness stand and hor cross-examination resumed, Although subjected to a prolonged and keenly scrutinizing examioation, she did nut lose for a moment her perfect scli-poesession, but bore herself bravely against the fierco iusilade of interrogatories buricd at her by the cross-oxamine To aconsideratle extent the testimony elicited was a repetition of that given in her direct testimony, “Did you bring this suit for money?” was one of the questions asked. ‘*I¥ is not money I want,” she replied, with an in- tensity of feminine earnestness that must have won the sympathy cfall present, and then added, lowering her voice, but speaking slowly, “1 want simplo jus- tice,"” TUE DEJKUNERS AT SOLARI’S. “How many times did you visit with Mr. Del Valle the piace kept by Mr, Solari ft? pursued the counsel, “I can't tell you, but not very many timos,” she answered. s Mr. Del Vallo’s demeanor toward you the same there as at your mother’s house, or at matinées, © you were in the babit of going?” “He did not kiss mo at matinées.” (Laughter.} “Thien he kissed you at Solari’s?”” “Certainly.” “You did not object to the kissing?” “Not at all”? (Renewed laughter). “How long did you remain at Solari’s generally ?”? “About two hours.’ “What were you doing all this time?” “Baung.” “Eating all the timo? You ought to have got tat.” “Well, I didn’t get fat; we were not eating all the time; there was a digression before dessert.” (Laugh- r Avnat kind of a digression?” “We taiked, One idea of Mr. Del Valle’s going with me there was to improve bis knowledge of the English language.”? “He unproved, of course?”? “U1 course.” ME. DBL VALLE’S GOVERNESS. “During the period of your engagemont with Mr. Del Valle were you imtroduced to any of bis triends?”” ‘On one or two occasions I was. “Were you ever introduced gs bis intended wifo?” “Never.” “While you were living at his house in Pough- keepsie were you not introduced as the governess of his childrent” “1 was, because he did not wish our engagement known.’ wid any of your friends know of your engage- mit? ‘All my personal {riends did." “Do you remember, while at Ponghkeepsie, showin; to Mr. Dol Valle a New York personal advertising for a governess?” “No, sir.’ “Did you not consult Mr, Del Valle about taking such situation elsewhere?” “Never.” “Did you ever give any pictures of yoursel{to Mr, Del Valle?”” *T gave three to him; one while we were ged, second one two days alter, upon bis*calling ut our house, and a third one which | had just had taken,” DIRECT BXAMINATION RESUMED, The above closed the cross-examination, when Mr. Brown resumed the direct examination. Sie stated in answer to his first question tbat in writing letters to Mr. Del Valle she firat made a dratt with a pencil and then copted the:n in ink, and that she never changed the letters from the original dratts; she gave the date ‘of the accident to herself, on which’ occasion she first became acquainted with Mr. Del Vall memory; sue knew very positively th to Dr. Bredenvurg, her si engngement for her. Som were put om tho furthor cross-examination by Mr. Choate, but they elicited nothing of importance, THE EXAMINATION OF a) MARTINEZ, Miss Adele Martinez, the younger sister uf the plain- tiff, wax next called to the witness stand. She pos- sesses the tame brunette style of beauty, and evinced an equal degree of sell-possessiun, Sue testified that she was at her mother’s house when Eugenie was brought home in a carriage alter the spraining of her anklo, op which occasion Mr. Del Valic was admitted to the house; Mr. Del jo came to the bouse after- ward about twice a ; She was present w Del Vaile gave ber eran engagement ring mother asked Mr. Del Valle it that was Eugenio’ id all bh: entirely from marriag sister was at the Hotel Royal she called on her almost daily and took Junch with her; ber sister remained at that hotel trom April 21 until the lst of June; she visited Mr. Del Vaile’s house at Poughkeepsie while ber sister was there and sometimes stayed two or thi The witness was then subjected to a long and search.

A portion of one of the letters upon which defendant’s counsel evidently laid great stress was as follows:— + * © If it was uot for you 1 don’t know what wo would do, Mamma says she would die, It is no doubt a terrible existence \o think that every few ‘months be (meaning her siepfather) is oat of work, beside living on your money.
