"Mayor Howell will veto" the resolutions for an elevated railroad on Fulton street," aald a gentleman well known at tho City Hall, this morning.

I know that bis secretary is now writing the voto." Tho gentleman was asked whether or not the Mayor would also veto the Oulver scheme. He replied tbat he did not know, but he could not Bee bow the Mayor could consistently veto ono schema and not the other. Bight Rev, Bishop John Loughlln oalled on the Mayor this morning, and urged him to veto the Culver scheme. Ho said ho represented about $100,000 worth of property on the proposed route, which would be greatly damagod If the railroad should bo built there. Tho Mayor assured the bishop that be should oaref ully consider the righto of all parties.

His honor is in receipt of letters dally urging him to veto both sohemes. There does not soom room for doubt that ho will do go. It was said, on what Is deemed reliable authority at the Hall thle afternoon, that the veto had already been prepared, but would not be filed until Saturday next. Gossip about tbo building to day net forth that the "elako" involved In the rusfuug through of tho resolutions, amounted to about $75,000. It la not believed that all of the Aldormen wore staked, and the Bnma whloh aro betloved to have boon paid to some wore larger than those attributed to othors.

Rumor has it tbat a further "boodle," as the boys aay, la contingent upon the overriding of the voto. It Is claimed that tbo overriding of tho veto of the Brnff franchise would amount to nothing, as tho company's charter provides tbat the consent of the Mayor, as well aa tnat ot the Common Council must be obtained. Both vetoes will bo overridden. JTJSnOE KENNA'S NEW GOURT BOOM.

J. Hickey1 for Contempt Yerdlet Affirmed in the Case of Mary HcGlyn Atralnst the Kalb Avenuo Railroad A Laborer Sues General Newton Tax on Personal Property Court of Appeals. Tho opinion of tho General Term in the case of ex Polico Captain John Blloy Is written by Mr. Jus tice Gilbert and Is as follows Gilhbbt Tho rolator was convloted by the Commissioner of Police aud Exclso of tho ltj ot Brooklyn, of misconduot, and removed from office. Charges were duly preforred agaiuBt bim and he was regularly tried, pursuant to section 7, chapter 377 of the Laws of 1880.

Wo have examined the evidence and ara of opinion that It Is sufficient to justify the action of the commissioner. It appears tbat on tho 24th of May lost, between threo and four o'clock lu the morning, tbe relator sent two ofiloere to the bouse of ono Mrs. Johnson without any warrant of orreat, and It does not appear that any oomplalnt had been made against her. The officers, notwithstanding hor remonstrance against leaving tbe house at that time of night, compelled her and her husband to go with thorn to the station bouse. Tbe treatment of, bor at tbe Btatlon bouse was ooarse and unjustifiable." The only justification of those aots 1b that they were done in the performance of a duty onjolnod upon tho relator to investigate a complaint of mfsoonduct tbat had beon mado against Sergeant Campbell.

That Is insufficient. To take a woman out of her bed aud compel her to go to tho Btatlon houBe at night, not for any offense Bbe had committed but meroly to bo subjected to Inquiries respecting tbe conduct of third persons, was mlsconduot whloh in our judgmont fully warrented the aotlon of tbe Commissioner. It is urged that tbe conviction really rests upon a ground not statod In tbe charges preferrod againrt tho relator, and reference la made to tbe opinion of tbo Commissioner to sustain that argument. It is sufficient to eav upon that subject tbat the rocord shows that tho relator was found guilty of the oharges actually made against blm, and for that cause was dismissed from the police forco. Resort cannot be had to tbo opinion of the Commissioner in order to alter tho efi'eot of tbe judgment of dismissal.

Tho ordor of the Pollco Commissioner should bo affirmed with costs and disbursements. Chief Justice Barnard dlBsents, holding tbat the testimony on whlob tho relator wbb dismissed was lnsuffl olont. Tbe matter will go to tbe Court of Appeals. Motion to FuufHh father Rl. J.

A Good Showing for the Bine Conts A Steadj Improvement Under General Jourdan's Administration How the Force is BIstrlbnted Important Ar.

rests for the Past Twelve Months. The heads of the various bureaus of the Police Department have been busily at work for several daye in compiling tbo records of tbe paet year, for the purpose of completing a aucolnet report for tha uso of Mayor Howell and Mayor elect Low. So oarof ully bave tha affairs of the Polios Department been conducted and so well defined the varloua dntlea that auoh a work ll not attended with much difficulty. The department makes a most admirable showing, when Its work la compared with tbat of the police force in other large oltles In this country and Europe, Tbe number of policemen here la much smaller In proportion to the population than in any other city whloh could be men tioned, and police duty la nowhere more arduous. Tho records show, howevor, tbat lifo and property bave been secured In a much more satisfactory man ner than In other oltles where tho force Is mnch more extensive.

While the population has been steadily increasing thero baa been but little or no addition to THE STBENGTH OF THS FORCE. Whloh Is at present ae follows; Superintendent, 1 Irfi speotorl; captains, 13; drill captain, sergeants, 63; patrolman, 175 doormen, 83, and deteotlves, 21. The strength of the varloua prooincts le aa follows: First, 47; 8eoond, 29; Third, 84; Third Sub, 12; lourth, 88; Fifth, Sixth, 26; Seventh, 20; Eighth, 20; Eighth Sub, Ninth, 28; Ninth Sub, 10; Tenth, 80; Elev enth, 28 Twelfth, 19 Thirteenth, 21, and mountod squad, 8. Of the 175 patrolmen, 16 are detailed for duty at tbe courts, railroad depots, forrlesand tha docks on tbe Wallabout and Gowanus Canal. Tho largest number of men at any particular time on patrol duty Is 203, and as there are 510 miles of streets to oover, It will be seen that eaeh man la obliged, on an averago, to cover a post of nearly 2 miles.

As far baok as 186, President Boswortb, of the Metropolitan Department, In a report to the Gqvoraor, eald In relation to Brooklyn "An increaeo of the force In that olty ought not to be longor delayed. Iu Brooklyn tho number of patrolmen le 888, or about 1 to every 1,000 Inhabitants. In New York the averago length of post is 63 100 of a mile, and day tours over 1 miles, while In Brooklyn tho average longth of night posts Is 2 51 100 and day posts, 6 6 100 miles. In Brooklyn the g'oats are of such an extent that the patrolmen cannot within supporting distance of each other." Theso words have much more weight at the present day, when It will bo found that there la only one patrolman to every 1,608 inhabitants. Aa far baok aa 1855 there waa a total force of 81)1 men, or 1 to every 611 inhabitants.

No ono has been more impressed than General Jourdan with tho inadequacy of the foroe in point of numbers, and when be became sole bead of the department ono of bls.first stops was to withdraw a large number of detailed officers from tho courts aud other placea and assign them to patrol duty, while temporarily disabled men bave been utlllzod In performing those duties which formerly devolved on ablo bodied officors, Tbls action ou the part of the commissioner has proved of much advantage to the police department, and has not caused any detriment In other directions. The establishment of straight posta was also another stop taken by General Jourdan in tbe Interest of more efficient police work, and has been found to carry out tho desirod result. SOME OF THE WOEK done by tho police force for the year ending December 1, 1b here appended Total number of arrests 28,838, or by monthB as followB December, 1880, January, 1881, February, March, April, May, June, July, Aueuet, September, October, Novomber, 2.086. Tbe total number of arrenta mado in 1880 was 26,785, or 2,053 less tban the present year. The number of violations of elty ordinances reported to Corporation Counsel and Department of City Works was 1,600 during tho Summer tho pollco had special euporvlBion over 1,621 vacant houses during tho abBcnce of tbo ownors In tho country, and so well was this duty discharged that the total value of property stolon did not amount to $250.

Tho police ploked up 1,719 lost chlldrou, of whom 692 wero femalos and ail wero roBtored to their parents. The foroo has been quite up to tho usual average of dlsclDllne and General Jourdan haa been most rigid in bis nunlshmont of delinquent offioers. During tbo year there were 837 complaints made against members of the foroe aud of theso 190 were sustained and various punlBhments from reprimand to dismissal Imposed. Tho total number of dismissals was 27. At the oommoncement of the voar tho valuo of uron.

There will bo a surplus of about $23,000 at the and of tbe year to the cradtt of tho department, one of General Jourdan'B special efforts being to run tbe department as economically as possible. Thore has been a large rcuuouou me expunge ui running tne excise ouresu, the Inspectors havlug beon abolished and their duties In the main assigned to the police captains.

The Third sub Precinct waa organized during the year, the station house boing local od iu Congress etreot, near Columbia, and Sergeant Eellett assigned to tho command. It la in the center of a district not famoua for its law abiding character, and has filled a great want in tnai part oi tuo city, ucnerai JOuruan strongly recommends tho establishment ot anotbor Bub nro olncl in the Eastern District, where it is much required. With such comparatively small forco at his command, IT JS A MATTEB OF SDBPBISE to those who havo charge of police affaire in other cities that General Jourdan is able to presont bb good a showing as he does. While oach policeman has from two and a half taflvo miles to cover, It Impossible that a citizen should at all times be able to find an officer when wanted, and it 1b not to be at tbat thioves should freonenllv bo able to accomnllsb suc cessful robberies without being detected.

As a matter of faot, there 1b no olty In the world of tho eame population where the value of tbe property stolon from year to year Is anything like so insignificant as in Brooklyn, Robborlos ooour nightly In New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large cities, aud pass almost unnoticed, wbioh, if committed here, would create Bomewbat of a Bonsatlon in police circles. The Wiso Jew elry robbery was the most extensive and startling occurrence of the year In this respect, and although tne total value Of tho proporty carried off waa not $3,000, it was the talk of tbo town for weeks. It should also bo remembored that many of the sneak robberies reported to tho polioe from day to day are purely imaginary, while others are the work of other tban regular thlovos. Ono class of tblevos, and by no meana the least dangerous shoplifters have been well nigh banished from the olty, aud la this respect muoh pralso Is due to tho groatly abused defective squad, whose vigilance In tho streets has saved the storekeepers the loss of thousands of dollars. The force, good aa it Is.

Is bv no meana nn to the ideal to whloh General Jourdan would wish to bring It, but tbe Improvements whlob havo been effeotod during his sole administration hare been many and strik ing, ana wuetner me term do long or Bhort, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that, with the material at hla disposal, he baa brought It to the highest point ot efficlonoy. Superintendent Oampbel! baa been a thonght iui, inwuiRoni ana inaustnoae executive neaa, ana all citizens, high or low, rich or poor, can find him ready to hear any complaints they bave to make, at all hours of the day or night.

The court room was again crowded this morning, and at half past nine the order was given to admit no more spectators. Upon the opening of the court, Dr.

Bpltzka was called to the witness stand and Colonel Corkhlll resumed the dross examination. Witness thought tho appearance of Guiteau's eyes was one of the strongest Indications of hie insanity. Colonel Corkhlll handed to the witness a slip of paper, upon which was drawn a diagram of the human head, and aald: "Now, doctor, supposing this to be the prisoner's head, will you ploase point out the inequalities to which you referred yesterday Before any reply oonld be mado Ouiteau Jralsod a laugh by saying, uTht aocounta for it. A hatter came to sos me this morning, and offered mo a new hat If I would let him take my head. I got the hat, but you don't pay for it, Corkhlll.

Oh, no Tne Government will havo to do so." Wlcnesa pointed out on a diagram of his own drawing the Inequalities referred' to. The question was then put to him: "Do you believe in God 7" and his reply was given "I deollna to answer that queation. From my standpoint it Is an Impertinent question in a country whloh guarantees oivil and religious liberty." Ur. Davldge But not Irreligious liberty, Mr. Scovllle questioned tho witness in regard to his connection with the Gosling case, and In tho course of his explanation witness Bald ho bad upon that case boon asked tho same kind of questions by the lawyers on the other tldo, rolatlvo to what they termed the "horse dootor business," as he had boen asked by tho prosecution yesterday; and In both oases tho questions had been put at the Instigation of tho Bamo modlcal politicians.

In.tho Gosling case tho result had tied the position ha (witness) had taken that la to say the prlsonor died In an Insane asylum from the same type of Insanity that be (wltnoss) had ascribed to him. WltnesB was asked what he meaut by "delueWo opinions," (a term he had used in connection with tho prisoner), and replied "I mean by doluBlvo opinions extravsgaut Interpretations cf outward circumstances which atrlke a sane man altogether differently." Up to this polut Gultoau had indulged in but one outburst of passion, which was, apparently, induced by a question of Oolouel Corkhlll'a. "I have been looking up your record, Corkhlll, and I'll show you said Gulteau. After this ho gave his attontion closely to his papers, and to all appearances lost all interest in the court proceedings. Wltnesa was asked, "What Is yqur opinion of tho sanity of a man who firmly believes ho can cure disease by prayer 7" Answer It would not necessarily indicate Insanity.

It might indicate simply weak Judgment. Ouiteau who had beon reading for soma minutes, hero Interrupted and shouted "I see THAT OBANK TALMAOE has beon doing some sensational bueinoss on this case. He had better go slow. He has been beforo his synod soverol times for lying, and has tho reputation in New York of running for a house of prostitution. I have got my eye on several of these oranke, and if they don't go Blow I will give some more of them some free advertising.

The high toned porston of the American people are beginning to take the right view ot thle oate." Mr. Scovllle endeavored to Introduce aa evldonco what ho (Mr. Scovllle) had said In rotation to Mr. Shaw (a witness for the prosecution), by asking witness to stats to the Jury what bo (Mr. Bcovlllo) had told him (witness) he bad learned In rotation to Mr.

Shaw. Objection was made and sustained, when Gulteau shonted out, "We have found out that Shaw was guilty of perjury in New Jersey, and was told by the Judge from the bench tbat ho ought to be con.vlcted and sent to prison, Wo also know that English was eonvlcted of a Ipw orime In Ireland. The Jury ought to know what kind of wit nesses you are bringing here to ruin my reputation." Colonol Corkhlll theajibarply questioned tho witness in regard to certain arnolea he (witness) had written criticising tho course of the Government in engaging expert witnesses. The witness reiterated his opinion that tho method In vogue in our courts of summoning experts to testify in favor of one side or the other la an entirely erroneous one. That the truo and proper way would be for tho court to summon experts Irrespective of the chances of what their testimony might bo.

A wordy triangular combat ensued between connsol and the witness. Colonel Corkhlll Insisted In a ehort speech, tbat the wltnoss had attacked the character and honesty of tho oxperts who wore supposdd toentortaln the opposite opinion from himself on the prisoner's sanity. Gaiteau Interrupted In his most angry mood, and, shaking his head at Colonol Corkhlll, shouted "It's the unanimous judgment of tho American people that you are a consummate jackass, Corkhlll. This gentleman la an honest man, aud if your akull was not so thick, you wonld see it." The witness desired to explain bis position, and said, "I do not hesitate to reiterate my opinion that the expert who will In this court testily tbat the prisoner is sane, Is, in my opinion, no expert, or a dishonest DR. rOBDYOE BABKEB, of New York, had been in practice thirty flve yoara, and had been professor of some medical college during his rosldsuce In New York, covering a period of above thirty years.

The wltneSB gavo at great Iongth, as the results of bis experience and study, his views npon tho various types of Insanity. He was asked by Judgo Porter, "Is the habit of boasting of Intimacy with persona of high rank, when sueh Is not the case to bo taken aa an evidence of insane delusion," and replied "By no means. It rather Indicatos a weak vanity aud inordinate egotism." Q. Would the aeeortlon by an individual that ho was the chosen instrument of God and in direct and immediate connection with Him as agent, be an Indication of an Insano delusion A. "No, It would not for several reasons, First, bo cause it oould easily bo asserted as the excuse for crime, and in Itself would amount to nothing." Wltnesa was asked, "Could yon call that an 'uncontrollable Impulse' to commit a crime, when the party alleging It, bad repeatedly controlled himeslf and retrained from the act?" A.

I oould not call it an uncontrollable Impulse, when ovldently the porson was governed by the normal operations of the mind aud Judgment. Q. Would the reiterated statements of tho accused prisoner, relative to the immense advantages to aocruo to others by bis act, indicate reasoning or delusion I A. It would lndicata a oouoluslon arrived at through the natural processes of reasoning, and whon reason and reasoning take hold delusion la at an end. Mr.

Soovllle questioned the wltneBS at great length aa to the character of his practice, and the opportunities be had enjoyed for observing tbe various TYPES OP INSANITY. Witness gavo sevoral instances withholding names and dates of insano mon whom he bad been called npon to treat, and described the peculiarities and marked features In oaoh oase. Witness was asked what books he had road upon the subject of Insanity, and in response named about twenty. Q. How recently have you referred to any of these workB A.

Oh, I consulted some ot them aa reoenlly as last week. Q. Wero tiny urniehod to you by any person with a request for you to book up on the subjeot A. Ob, no I have them all In my library, I have an extensive library, and endeavor to sooure all worka bearing upon modlcal subjects. WitnosB was osked to state the difference betwoen In.

sane delusions and absurd optnlone aud replied: "Insane delusions aro falso beliefs of to tbe facts." Absurd or extravagant opinions aro resultant from tho different qualities of tbe minds of the Individuals In their process of reasoning, Judge Cox asked "What class of persons are most suseeptlble to Insane delusions?" A. Oh, it comprehends a great variety of pereons, and a great rango of lnfiuenoea producing It. Judge Cox then requested tbe witness to explain to the Jury what he meant by irresistible and tho answor was "perversions of tho emotions to auoh a degree as to produce condnct entirely at variance with the Individual's formor life rnd to auoh a degree as to completely controll the will power would oonetttute an Irresistible Impulse." Gulteau" Doctor, I want to aak you, where a man a lmpallod to oommlt a crime by an Impulse ho cannot resist, is he eane or Insane Answer Where that fact can be proved, sir, it Is Quiteaa That' Just my ease, sir," (with an air of porfeot latlsfaotlon, Tben turning to Mr. Scovllle Come, that's the whole case let's have recoss. I'm getting hungry." Mrs.

Scovllle desired to ask a queation. Gultoau (Impatiently) "Oh, you keep etUL it's all they can do to put up with me." Judge cox assented and Mrs. Scovllle asked: "Can a man bo born Insane 7" Answer "No, madam. Ho could bo born an idiot or an imbecile. Insanity is an acqnirod state aftor birth." A recess for half an hour.

From that port the weather was oxtromely rough. By noon of the 2Mb the storm bad Increased to a hurricane from the northwest, and work on deck was made very dangerous. Tbe boatswain, a man 35 years old, named Pierce Owodb, belonging to Bangor, Wales, while attending to hie duties was caught In a heavy sea, and In an instant was carried out of sight.

Tho aamo wave also caught one of the boatB, nearly tearing it from the davits, and it bad to be cut away to prevent the men working near it 'rom receiving injuries aa it blow about. Tbo storm co ltluued until last Tuesday. Boston, December 13, The British steamer Walta, Captain Tutt, which left Liverpool November 23 for this pqrt, arrived this morning.

J. Fitzgerald. Captain Barry was called on for a apeeeh. and res; end id in a few felicitous remarks, thanking the association for tho honors conf en ed and pledging and hie means to Ireland and the cause of Irish nationality. He oalled attention to the movement initiated oy the Lord Mayor of London, andlsaid he feared tbat millions of English landlords' gold wonld now be poured out to lift their wretched brethren in Ireland out of the sad plight their own Inhumanity had plunged them Into, Irishmen In America ahould therefore make a supreme effort, In this crisis, to render futile tho efforts of the Lord Mayor and the English aristocracy.

Tha captain then requested the secretary to plaoe bis name on tbo roll for )S a month, and paid the first Installment.

Tbo Final Scesion of tbe Republican General Committee of 1SSI.

Tho Republican General Committee of 1881 will hold Us final session this evening, In Central Hall. Among tbe delegates and politloal managere there waa no expectation to day of any Important business coming before the body. Tbe only eubjoot likely to klndlo excitement would be the case of Fire Commissioner Jacob Worth, who bad been aooused of treaehery and maae the objeot of a oommlitse of investigation. It Is understood that tha sub committee appointed to prefer charges against Mr. Worth bave as yet taken no formal action, for tbo reason that be la not a member of the Sixteenth Ward Republican.

Association, and therefore not legally a delegate to the General Committee. Tbo delegates to the General Committee of 1882 will, in all probability, hold a oauoua within tho next fort night to nominate officers of that body, but the cauoua has not yet been oalled. NO BANKRUPT LAW. Important irieottiasj el tbe Butter, Egg and Cbeese Trade In New 7ork. A nnmber of gentlemen in the butter, egg and oheoie trade met shortly before noon to day In the rooms of the Butter, Egg and Cheese Ei cbange, sw York, to tale fame toUoa npon the id lntlon offered at a previous meeting approving of tha adoption of a national bankrupt law.

W. Wlntor, the president ot the exchange, wu la the onalr. After some dissuasion, iotra 0. Vabr "11 tbe East did not want any snotT law, and thai It waa only required by tbe Weal and BCaib, In otitt to shako off their debts, and the speaker Instanced Virginia, as showing the tendency of the South to repudiate Its honest debts. Ur.

Mabr concluded by saying that the effect of a national bankrupt law would be to cheat the East. After acme farther tlltousslon, the question of tbe adoption of the resolution came up and was negatived by a vote of IB to 0. Mr. John H. Seymonf then offered a resolutlon.wblqh was adopted Setting forth that tbe meeting was opposed to Congress enaotlng a national bankrupt law, because it would disturb the confidence now existing botweon merohante extending liberal eredlte and that It would chook the presont prosperity of the country by creating distrust arising from tho unfavorable recollections uf the former bankrupt law.

Tho resolution Btatea thai the request for this law comes from men who ask liberal credits and sell to foreign markets, from men who availed themselves of the formor law and from advonturora and extravagant people who are roady to take benefit of any law that will wipe out tbelr indebtedness wltbout paying it. A copy of this resolution will bo sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee having tbo matter In ohargo, with the requost that no Bankrupt law oe enacted hdhi is ucoossary and the morcantlle interests of the country are moro united on the subject.

Henry Newman Wrlarht Before the General Xrm of the Supreme Court. The suit of Rev. Henry Newman Wrioht against" tho Congregational Church of Nort L. to recover the balance of bla salary as pastor, came be fore the Gonoral Term of the Supreme Court yesterday, on an appeal from an order made list April by Mr. Justice Dykman, changing the place of trial from Brooklyn to Blverhead, L.

I. Mr. Wright claims that be wa employed by tbe truetoea of the church for one year from Maroh, 1877, at a stated salary, together with tbe privilege of ocoupylng tbe parsonage aa a reifdsnoa. and that In the latter part of April, 1877, be wae wrong full dismissed and forcibly evioted from the parsonage. The defendant alleges that he not a rcgularlv or.

dained minister, and was not, therefore, quallfltd to administer the sacrament to lie members. It also oharges that on sevoral occasions he usod language unbecoming a clergyman, and enunciated blasphemous and heretical doctrines, by meana of which his usefulness aa a minister of religion woe destroyed. Tho members of the Northvlllo Congregational Ohurcb have aoqulred aa unonvlablo reputation for eooleslastlcal bslUgerenoy, They are abont evenly divided In politics, and tble dl vislonglvej rite to two factions in the ouuron. Tuaae opposing ftallonl are almost always engaged in acme ohuroh quarrel. If tbe minister beeomel popular Witt ouo faction, he Is sure to antagonize the other.

It le Impossible for him to pleaao them both, Oa one occasion they QUAEHELSD ABOUT THE MTNISTEB, and did not ceaso bostlUtlae until some peraon unknown nroa tne onurcn. on another oocaalon, In a row concerning another minister, one parly smashed the organ lo ploceB and tho other party threw a skunk Into the churob. Iu tho early part of 1877, Mr. Wright received a call from the ohuroh and was InstaUed as lta pastor. Things wont on smoothly and pleasantly for some time between tho pastor and his Hook.

He held several revival meetings and mado a great many converts. Very soon, however, It beoame apparent that bo was doomed to abare the unhappy fato of bis unlucky predecessors. During the height of tbo religious excltoment, oreatod by bis rerlval aermons, a stroUlcg ehepherd In quoBt of "fresh flelde and pasture new," visited NorthvlUe and Industriously circulated atories to tho prejudice of Mr. Wright, Ho tried to convince) them that their pastor was not a duly commissioned shepherd. It appears that Mr.

Wright had formerly been an Episcopalian, and had been ordained aa a deacon by a bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Ohuroh. Some of tbe most eminent divines of the Congregational church hold that If a person has been ordalnecl aa a clergyman In another churob, it is not necessary tbat bo shonld be reordalned In ordor to be quallfie to perform tbe functions of pastor of a Congregational church. Tjie Northvlllo church folks, not content with repose, were only too glad to have a pretext for a quarrel with their pastor, and so they Insisted that be was not tbo right kind of a man to deal ont to tham spiritual nourishment. In vain did he protest against the attltudo they bad aBBumed. The word waa aent out that he must go.

They harassed bim in every conceivable way. They distorted and misconstrued the meaning of everything he aald In hla own defense. They finally ACCUSED HTM OF BEING A HEBETIC. Thoy charged him with having on several oocaslona mado uso of nnscriptural language and uttered heretical Bontlments. They alloge In Justification of their conduct in dismissing him that he called them a pack of sapheads and told them that If they bad hired tbe dovll to preach for them thoy would bave to pay him for bis services.

They also chorgo that in the course of a sermon preached after the trouble had begun, he mado uso of the following language I know of no way for the Hon and the lamb to lie down together but for tbe Hon to eat the lamb and then they oan lie down togethor. It 1b bard work for a man to go to bell and bard work to koep him there. Ho will some time or other pop ont of thero Uko oorn out of a spider. Mankind are all born as lean as a aheot of paper, and somehow the Almighty will dodge around to save them." He controverts these charges and also alalma that his ordination was valid, and oxpecta to vindicate himself by the testimony of some of the most distinguished divines in the Congregational Church, Ha urges that Brooklyn is more convenient than Rlvorbead to theso witnesses that It would be a great hardship on him to compel him to lnour tbo expense of a trial at Blver hoad, his salary as pastor of the First Congregational Church of New Lots being very moderate and tbat It Is less difficult to obtain an Impartial Jury In this county than iu Suffolk County. The court reserved lta doclsion.

Oh, yes, many have used it in rheumatic affections, and I have yet to heat tho first man say it failed to gWo relief. They koep it in their familtea, too, and all swear by it.

mb. howe's affidavit. Mr. Howo nroducod an order to show cauBO. on which tho motion for a stay was based, and his own affidavit.

Tbla affidavit Btatea that Mr. Chamberlain was married fourteen years ago to a woman whom he raised from comparative obscurity; that two children are tho Issue of the marriage that three or four years ago ho Bent for a lawyer, namod Kyder, to make a will that Ryder took down on paper tho headings, terms, proposed bequests, and designedly left the memorandum oxposed, so that it might fall under the notice of Mrs. Chamberlain. Tho affidavit Btatos that tho terms of tbe will were tbat Chamborlaln's children should receive tbo hulk of bis property, and Chamberlain bolioves that thereafter bla wife grew to dislike him and sko dually presented a petition to County Judge Wright, of Tutnam County, for a commission In lunaoy lo determliio wbetbor her husband was of sound mtnd. Tho oommlsslon was issued, consisting of John G.

Miller, Austin La Mont and Francis Foster. Dr. Meredith Clymor and Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton swore to tho sanity of Cbamborlaln, but the Inquisition returnod that ho was aud is of unsound mind aud incapable of managing his affairs. On application for tho appointment of a committee of the person and estate of Mr.

Chamberlain, Mr. Andrews submitted a traverse, which was In substance tbat tho finding wasSgalust the ovidenco; that the commissioners woro improperly appointed; that a majority of them failed to qualify; tbat Improper aud illegal testimony was admitted; that the rospondont is not of unBound mind, Tho affidavit also states that Mr. Andrews put In a brief and points, PREFACED WITH THIS STATEMENT. Daniel D. Chamberlain, tha above named rospondont, whom tbe commission appointed herein allege to be of unBound mind and Incapable of governing hlmsolf, was married about thirteen years ago.

Tho respondent's wlfo at tho time of her marriage was a teacher In a seminary at Carmel. The evfdouoo of Dr. Lewis A. Sayro ostabliahes the fact that tho respondent bad taken chloral, and the witness attributed certain acts of the respondent as having been producod by a narcotic. The witness, narrating a conversation ho bad with Mr.

Chamborlain, BayB: "You havo an abundance of reason to think that you will be made woll." Dr. Bayre's evidence referred prmciDallr to events occurring a rear ago, and respondont'a counsel objected to tbe evidence tbat it must oe connnoa to tne present etate oi the respondent. It Is olaimed by tbe respondent tbat Dr. Sayre, though an omlnent Burgeon, la not an oxpert In Insanity, and the court Is referred to where it Is so conceded. The respondont'a wlfo narrated facts showing that at tlmee tbo respondent waa Irritable and exoitable and at other tlmos woe a kind and affeotlonate father and husband.

On cross examination sbe testified that on tbe eve of her marriage respondent was under the lnfluenco of liquor. It Is also in evldenoo that respondent was absent in tbo City of New York for some time, and aho neither called on him nor communicated with him. She tostlflod he bad been uniformly kind to the children. Stephen Chamberlain tostiuod to acta of Irritability and excite ment and to certain threats. Dr.

Royal W. Ammldown treated respondent before December, 1880, and though not proven to be an expert, waa permitted to give evidence showing the alleged insanity of the respondent, which waB manifestly improper. Dr. John Q. Adams, a physician of twouty elght years atandlng, Mr.

Chamberlain's family physician for thirteen years, testified tbat Mr. Chamberlain had from tlmo to time, at hla request, and at the request of other physicians, taken OHLOBATj, BBOMIDE OF POTASSIUM and other narcotics aud drugs, and that they affecied Mr. Cbamborlaln, causing irritability and excitement, but that tbo respondent, to use the witness' own lan guago, "is as capable to manage bis business affairs as you or I or any other man." Dr. Meredith Clymor, a pbysloian of forty years' standing, and for the past fifteen years a special practitioner in diseases of the nervous system aud mental diseases, testified that he had known tho respondent fifteen yeare, and had examined him lately, and swore positively "that Mr. Chamberlain was Buffering from no form ot Insanity." Dr.

McLane Hamilton, a pbysloian who for the past elovon years has devoted himself to diseases of the mind and nervous system, testified "that the respondent bad enmcient powor and judament to manage bla affairs." Tbo commission donlod oouusel the light to Bum up the case, aud the jury wore charged, and the judge, in commeullng on Chamberlain's testimony, spoke of Stephen W. Chamborlain aa "a witness who has no possible motlvo for bias," to which counsel for respondent excepted, ne also charged "You are living in the community and know the man." Counsel for tbe respondent requested that the Jury be charged "that the jury must be satisfied from tho preponderance of evidenoe." This was refused, to whloh connsol duly excepted. MB. HOWH'S AFFIDAVIT goes on to show that tho court took the papers, and Mr. Howo was notified to show cause why tho finding of of tbo Inquisition should not be confirmed.

He attended, and objected to the jurisdiction of the court to appoint a committee either of the estate or person of Mr. Chamberlain, urging that as this was a very arbitrary proceeding, under a special statute, by which the respondent could be deprived first of his property aud seoocondly of hlB liberty, it Bbould in oil roBpeota oon form to the statute, which It did not. Tho court overruled the objections and appointed oommlsslon. Mr. Howe deposes tbat Daniel D.

Chamberlain la a gentloman of great intellectual attainments, a very scholarly and learned man, a man of noute sensibility, ready to accompany deponent Into any court, beforo any tribunal or person, and to be examined aa to hla present sanity or insanity that he lnf oAns deponent that be viewe tble proceeding aa a wicked and raallffnant one. Instituted bv the dsslffnlnc woman. whn Is the petitioner, for the purpose of taking from him hla vast property, so that she can control It and ubo it for her own objects, to the injury ol his offspring, whom be dearly lovoa. Mr. Howe further states that, though he took an appeal, Judge Wright refused a atay.

THE PBOOSBDINQB BEFOBB JUDGE PBATT. Tbla morning, after presenting the aboue affidavit. Mr. Howe tried very hard lo abstain from talking, aa he waa anffenng from a severe cold, bnt as the other eldo Insisted on going on, Mr. Howe managed to get In a few words ontsldo the affidavit, the substance of wuien is given aoovo.

Mr, Stlllwell, on behalf of the Central Trust Com Sany, opposed the atay. He said tbat sluea Mr. Oham erlaln was adjudicated a trustee he had drawn from ho Trust Company's custody $230,000 worth of bonds, nd nntll tbey woro restored, he would strenuously op oso the stay pending lue appeal. aald that eoon after daylight on the morning following tbe day on wbioh Mr. Chamberlain waa adjudicated a lunatlo, he went to the Trust Company and withdraw the bonds, whloh were, In fact, nearly all hie estate.

Mr. Stlllman Insisted that no Btay could be applied for while the parties were in contempt. Mr. Howe admitted that tbe bonda ware withdrawn upon the rendering of the verdict, but denied that the matter waa then adjudicated. Furthermore, If Mr.

Chamberlain waa a lunatlo, how oould he be guilty of oontempt of oourt He was Irresponsible, acoordlng to their own ahowlng. Mr. Howe thought II would bs pretty haid to get ruund him. Mr. Stlllwoll admitted tbat it would take almost two days to get round Mr.

Howe In bla present condition. Anotlor lawyer oalled tbe attention of the court to the fact that Mr. Chamberlain had been removed from the jurisdiction of the court, and had been spirited away, no one knew whother. Here was a langb and the gentleman looked rather queer when Informed that Mr. Chamberlain had been In court and bad Just left, Mr.

Howe strongly urged tne court to grant tne atay. Mr. Chamberlain wan ae sane aa any man, and there was no pretense that he was a manalo. Mr. Close said that It wae In ovldonce that he had as saulted hla wife, aud another gentleman who appeared with Mr.

Oloso said that Mrs, Chamberlain was afraid of hor life. Mr. Howo said that ho would be satisfied with a atay of proceedings as acainst the porson of the supnosod lunatlo, and would withdraw the other part of the mo tion. The court reserved lta decision. CAKD FEOM DEPUTT COJ1H18S10NBB WniTlKG.

To tht Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Dkpabtmknt or Our Wonka, BnoosLTH, December 10, 1881. In your report of tbe prooeedinos of the Common Connoli, which contain a resolution directing tho Auditor to audit and the Controller to pay the bills of Matthew Smith for July, August, September, Ooto uer and November for removal of garbage, (7) Alderman O'Connell la represented as saying that he did not know tbe reason why the Department of City Works had refused to certify tbe bills, but that there bad been trouble since tha Deputy Commissioner of City Worka had taken office, ft la quite surprising that one aa much Interested In tha mktbsr aa the aald Aldannan shonld not have Inquired as to the reason, when the Deputy Commissioner would hare told him that tbe oontract had beon violated Iu every feature of It, The Common Council aotlon was not taken until tha om mleslonera of City Worka and Health had notified the eontractor to abow cause why hla contraot should not be broken, and has not mora binding force on tha Auditor and Controller than thoush tho resolution had haan passed at a meeting of the truckmen who surround the City Hall. I am happy In tha oonndence I bave that neither Addltor nor Controller will assist In tbla aobeme to deplete the treasury for the advantage of a delinquent contraotor who baa tho unanimous approval of tho Board of Aldormen. There Is much that ean be said on this subject whenever tbo public Interest may re aire. B.
