The weather is fine to-day, and there is more
activity in business circles. The stock market
opens strong, Gold Is weak at 138J. There is
not much doing In merchandise and produce,
and prices generally are ruling more favorable
td buyers.
A casf that elicited considerable Interest was
tried yesterday in the Supreme Court Circuit,
before Justice Foster and a jury. The action was
broupht by the Mayor and Commonalty of this
city Bf ainst De Witt C. Lent, E. R. Bangs, A. W.
Merwln and another. The gentlemen last named
composed the firm of tho well-known book
auctioneers who did business under the name
of Bangs, Mcrwin & Co. Tho action was for
the purpose of recovering the possession Jof
an autograph letter, written on the 2d of
May, 1785, by General George Washington, and
addressed to the Mayor and Common Council of
New York. The letter purports to be an answer
to an lnvitition tendered to Washington to come
here th- Mayor, etc., promising to give him
"the ireedom of the city." The plaintiffs in
their complaint demand the letter or its value,
which' they aver was $2500. Two or three years
ago an antiquarian, named John Allan, died in
this city, leaving this autograph letter, and
about $40,000 worth of books, papers, and
valuable relica of the olden time. Mrs.
Stewart, daughter of Allan and executrix
of his estate, placed the letter with his
other e fleets in the possession of Bangs &
Merwin, to be sold at public auction. On the
sale the letter wab bid olT at the sum ol"$2050by
the defendant, Lent. He kept it two days and
returned it to the auctioneers, and asked to have
the contract repclnded, which request was re.
fused. Meantime the city authorities learned of
its whereabouts, and made a demand of it from
the auctioneers, on the ground that it was their
property, and had been wrongfully taken from
their possos.-ion. Tho jury, after a long deli bo
ration, rendered the following verdict: "We
find for the plaintiffs, and swtess their damages
for i be detention at six cents, and osccss the
value ol the letter at $2050."

denying the motion to restrain the California,

TURNED RADICAL!
Our Special Despatches
Washington, February 15.
EHon. John Minor Bolts is before tho Recon
struction Committee to-day. He is the author
of a publication which has Just appearod anony
mously, entitled "Political axioms to solve the
perplexed problem of the status of the
States and the people of a State lately
In rebellion.' He maintains that, secession
being unconstitutional, the ordinance) of
secession were null and void, and conse
quently no State has been out of the Union;
that the Rebels made themselves aliens, and can
only be restored to the rights of citizens through
tho established laws of naturalization, artcr five
years, probation; that no reprieve or pardon can
be constitutionally granted beiore tho party or
parties have been tried and convicted according
to law; therefore, all .pardons heretofore granted
to those lately in rebellion have aecn premature,
and are null and void.
That all attempts at reconstruction In many of
the Statcs.through misplaced confidence ad the
unappreciated magnanimity of the President,
have not only failed, but are unsafe as a Drcce
dent and dangerous to our institutions, aud
should be commenced denoro.
