In this matter the respondents, disclaiming being etnies also to the afidavits which were produced by the relator. His Excel- Jency the Governor declined to give or certify the affl- davits on the ground that he acted judicially In deter. mining their effect, and was not subject to review by this Court, The relator then obtaived copies of them. lt will be perceived that this matter assum: form differing therefore from adjudicated proccedin mn the State, and the questions are impoi tant, if not grave, in charact The respond- ents, in addition to the requisition to which the aM@davits mentioned referred, produced a second one, charging the relator with being an accessory be- fore the fact. His Excellency the Governor declined to certily the affidavits on which that was issued and they have not been put in evidence {n any way. thought the second requisition was properly admissa- ble. ‘I see no reason now to change my opinion. If the State Courts have the right to go behind the requi- sition notwith: wing the objections on the score of jurisdiction, the eflect of which would be to open tho door to the examination of the papers or indictment transmitted and the laws of the State trom whenee they came, then there should ome Means to compel the production of the papers on which the warrant was issued, The Governor, acting under the act of Congress exclu- sively, cannot, so far as 1 have had the opportunity to examine the question, be compelied to certify or send to the Court these uffidavits or papers on which be acted, and hence if jurisdiction were entertained, as the papers are not before me and the secord requisi- tion 1s good upon its face, the relator could not be dis- charged, 1 have thus briefly stated my conclusions. “The questions ag suggesied are Important, and the General lerm being now in session the relator shall have extended to him the necessary doiay to enable him to have them reviewed, which can be done at once. It follows that the writ must be dismissed and jed that he 1s the pers ‘aipst Whom the charge was made, “On the rendition of the above decision the counsel of Connors promptly applied for a writ of certi reviewal of the case before the Supreme Court, Term.

The story entitled ‘Game of Love,’ recently pub- lished exclusively jn the Henanp, in which Mary Bis- cho sues Philip Bauer tor $10,000 damages for alleged breach of promise of marriage, though not reaching a trial as speedily as anticipated, was the sub- ject yesterday of quite a lively legal set to before Judge Barrett, holding Supreme Court, Circuit. Mr. Hall, counsel tor the defendant, made a motion that the caso go off for tho term. He stated as the basis of his mo- tion that the recent lengthy account of the caso pub- lished in the HxxaLp had Influenced public opinion in the case beyond ali doubt to some extent, and with the facts as thus published fresh in the public memory, it would be difficult to get an impartial jury. “We all know the enterprise of the Hrap,”? sald Judge Busteed, ‘tin opposiiion to the notion, and the industry of its corps of reporters. In th: HekaLD has only antivipated the statement of the tacts of the case, “It bas In no other way influenced public opinion, but has simply acted as a Fentinel, as the advanced guard of public intelligence. can such statement do the detence The truth may surely be published, and aone are afraid of the truth save those whom the truth would indict, Sue us for {ibel,”” continued Judge Busteed, waxing warmer in bis speech, “and recoup the damages you sha ceive against the damages we shall get irom you, “We oniy sue responsible parties retorted Mr. Hall, ‘tron whom we cau get money. “TL cannot entertain the motion,” interrupted Judge Barrett, ‘The case must be tried when reached in order on the calendar. "? ‘This judicial announcement had a quieting effect on the couusel, who gave promise of making the motion the basis of 2 prolonged and exciting discussion, The case now stands teuth on the calendar, so that itt probable thai it will not be reached for several days yet. DIVORCE FROM AN INSANE WIFE, With all the multiplicity of phases developed in divorce suits, there is seldom one presenting such sad features as an application made yesterday to Judge Lawrenec, in Supreme Court, Cham>ers, by Jobann Ludwig Fuchs, fora divorce from bis wife Amelia Fuchs, Ho says, in his complaint, that they were married in Brooklyn in July, 1866,'she representing at the time that she was a single woman, and that she had never been married before. Subsequently, as ho jurther states, he tnined that she had been previously mi in Germany, and that at the time of his marrt ber her tirst husband was liviug.

A young boy named William Gilfillan, of No, 739 Eleventh avenue, while playing in that thoroughfare on Monday with a number of other boys, was ap- proached by Herman Kley, a milk dealer, of No. 74% Eleventh avenue, and kicked in the chest and struck in the face by the latter, Kloy was arraigned yoster- day at the Filty-seventh Street Court. He Is a tall, strong looking man, while the complainant isa cripple. The accused gaid he 1s continually annoyed by boys in the neighborhood putting dirt into his milk. On Monday a number of the lads got on one of his carts, He rushed out and at- tempted to send them away, when young Gilfillan called him abusive names. He thon started in pursuit of the little tellow, and struck him lightly across the face, alilhough he admitted that bad bo been able to catch up with Gilfillan ke would also have kicked him, The little complainant denied the truth of Kley’s statement, said tuat he had notin any way annoyed the milk dealer, and that on his breast there remained the marks of tho cruel treatment he had received. Tho ease attracted considerable attention apecimen of unwarranted cruelty toward a helpless boy. The Judge was justly indignant at Kley’s unmanly ack The defendant was held in $500 bail.

To further strengtben quotations of ihe coal carriers, « ory, provably mapatactured out of whole cioth, was put afloat that President Sioan bad invived a meeting of the various coal companies on to-morrow, for the purpose of suggesting a plan looking to a restoration of the old combination, How New Jersey Ceniral and Lehigh and Wilkesbarre, im their present anomalous condition, and to obtain relations ship im the projected happy family, i @ matter of no little doubt, and we woust watt for timo to solve the riddle if there be any to solve, Howbeit, the circumstances referred to were effective in givy a sharp turo upward to Delaware and Lackawann: Delaware and Hudson early in the day, though later on, when 3 per cent difference for 60 days war made by rome terrified bears on the first samod stock and the shorts geveraily bad retired to figure up losses. prices ytolded somewhat and closed up about midway votween the highest and lowest of the session, While the causes aiready cited were of chief sia in a strengthening way, something additional was lent through the premiums paid for borrowed stock, since as much os 102 to Sy was paid for a day's use of shares of the two Dolawares. The rail way and miscellaneous market was kept in the background by the prominence of the coal carriers, but nevertheless came in for a fair share of attention, particularly so far as Western Union and Lake Shore were concerned. The rst closed at 60% (ex dividend of 1}¢ per cent), bh was a iractonal decline trom the day's best figures, and the second at 48%, being about midway between bigh and low water mark, as expressed by the morning's prices, The friends of Burlington and Quincy seem to bave plucked up (resh courage, for the day at least, and were ready takers of the stock for invesimeat as bigh as 99, the advance being from 04 yesterday. The improvement failed to bold, however, the closing quotation veing about 48, Thero was nothing remarkable about the other speculatives other than a commendablo degree of firmness, which hopeful bulls trust may be « silver lining to the cloud, and at the same time predict that the velvot so long trodden upon by the successful bears will be found to have a cotton backing after ail.
