LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
V, B. DIBTRIOT COURT -Jii1(re Oadwalader,
The t peclnl term of the comt filed at tba adjourn
ment of last month, was opened this morning, the
samejnry being la attendance that served la July.
The tirstcese jot npon trial was tbatof Tbe United
Plates vs. The Philadelphia and Heading Rallroal, to
which a freight car was thenubjeot of claim. II was
conceded by the dale-jdanu that the oar, when selsd
by Ihe Government officials, contained frartrtuient
whisky, which adtulsstou relieved the plain tlir trom
entering lnio any proor as to there facta. The ex
planation made, however. wa this: Situated near the
railroad lu Norrlitowo is a large distillery, having a
side track running Into their yard, for
the purpose of rnnalng their ooal.corn, and other
articles to and from the depot. Not long alnce toe
proprietor of thlneslabllsbinent applied to the agent
ol the Norrletows Hallroad tor a borne car for the
convejanoeof aerentj-flve sacks of corn from tbelr
place. The agent reoiled that he bad no oh car at
his disposal, bat thought perhaps one could be
obtained from tne Reading Railroad, and at the re
quest ot the distiller he requeued the agent ol the lat
ter road to lend tbem one. Tne car was readily tent
across the bridge irom firldgeoori and lodged in the
distillery yard. On tbe following day, was the on
torn every morning, the coal and otber ears were
taken liom the dlstl larjr to tbe grounds of
the Heading Railroad, and among tbem
was this boras car. The agent, noticing
tbe dcor of tbe car standing open, and seeing no one
come In It, looked into It and discovered ti e whisky.
Like a law abiding clilr.eo he hint the car at
once set aside, and sent fir tbe United Htalei Collec
tor of tbe Dlatrli t. Into whose hands the matter was
given. In view of the facts that they bad not par
ticipated In tbe fraud, and had hastened to give tne
Hist Intimation ol Us detection to the Government,
tbe defendants maintained ' bat they should not bear
the forfeiture ol the car. The Jury rendered a verdiot
for tbe Kallioad Company.
1 he United Btaus vs. A Furniture Car and Pa'r ot
Mules, John Tbompstm, claimant. This was an In
formation lor forfeiture upon tbe ground fiat the
mnlte and wgon wucn si-laed wera engaied la tbe
removal of whi-ky In violation of the requirements of
tbe revenue law.
Ou the part of tbe claimant, Mr. L. O. Oasaldy, who
has resumed business, took tbe ground that there
was no fraudulent Intent on the part of tbe claimant,
who acted without any knowledge or tne lilega'lty of
tbe removal, and therefore he should not bojmade to
lose bis properiy.
Tbe Jury rendered a verdict for the claimant.
COUKT OF COMMON PLKAS-Judges Ludlow
and Pierce, Tbe (September term of tbe Court
opened this morning, tbe current motion list being
tbe subject of consideration.
NINTH WABD ASSESSMENT,
COURT OP QUARTER SESSIONS Allison, P. J.
In tbe matter of tbe rule granted on Saturday, to
how cause why an alternative mandamus should uot
Issue compelling tbe fully Commi-sioners to give the
required notice ot tbe place decided upon by the
AsutBsoia of- tbe Mnth ward for tbe holding
of the extra assessment, before reported, Mr,
Isaso GerLard, representing tbe Commis
sioners, admitting tbat tbe petition of com
plainants upon It lace Jnstllled each a writ,
produced to the Court an adluavlt containing the fol
io wing averments: In due time the Assessors of tne
Mlnth Ward ret.rned to the Commissioner' oUce
tbe street lints of tazables la tbelr district, at that
time designating no place for holding tbeasneasmont:
the Commissioners, in consequence o' this failure,
actir g under tbe decslon ol tbis court as g ven by his
Honor Judge Brewster, proceeded themselvei to fit
the house of Colonel P. McDocner, Ho. 1018 Filbert
ireet, as tbe proper piace tor tuat purpose. Sub
sequently, on the SZa of Julv, a commjnlcation
signed by tbtse assessors, Messrs. Brown and Law.
less, and naming tbe house of D. B Baltler, No. ia'
Market street, as tbat In whlcbtbe assessment should
be held, was received at the Commissioners' OiBce.
after the notlllaailon ot the bouse In Filbert street
bad been given. But farther, on the 30th of the same
month, Mr. Lawless despatched a note to tne Com
ni'ssloners requesting them to consider bis signature
withdrawn trom the not'es, as he gave it without
knowing its purport In view ot this disagreement
between tbe Assessors tbe Commissioners thought
their determination should be upheld.
On the other band Mr, Van Cleve maintained that
upoa tbe face of tbe notice given by the Assesjrs,
m.lblng was to be found but evidence ol unanimity
In tbe choice of this place, and no disagreement ap
peared un'll a week afterwards, tbe date of Mr. Law
it Bs' note; and tbe testimony of this latter person was
tbat he signed tbe notice, not unwillingly, bat under
peiBuatico. Moreover, the Oommissloam did uot
wait until within ten days before the bold ug of tbe
assessment, at which time the law requires
them to give the notice, to see if then the As
sessors d is b greed; but tome six days In
advance of the time they stole a march on tbe asiss
sors audrent out this uo'ice. The decisloa of Julge
Brewster referred to was a good one, but It did not
airly to this case. f. r the circumiitanoHS under which
It was given were that the ssnesaors, up to tne very
time the Commissioners were required to have the
lis's printed and the place made puhllo, were still lu
a sute of disagreement, and Ihe Commissioners could
not have compiled with the law unless they had
named tbe place.
Tbe Judge sustained Mr. Vancleve, adding that 1'
was tbe duty of the commissioners, In case they had
received no Communication from the assessors, to
call npon tbem to name a place, and thtn, incase
they fall d to do so, they were to designate the place.
Be thought tbe Commissioners had mt done their
whole duty In the matter, and, therefore, he would
grant the writ prayed for.

The second period of tbe present term began this
morning, and a new panel of petit Jurors was la
attendance. A number or applications for excuse
trom Iservlce was made but only those were granted

oughly done, and Is pronounced by the United States
Commissioners to be first-class in every respect, be

These earnings are no indication of the vast through

Upon such a property costing nearly three time
Ihtrlr amount,
AEE ENTIRELY SECURE.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
tl0o each, and have coupons attached. They beat
annual Interest, payable on the first days of January
and July, at the Company's office in the City of New
York, at the rate of six per cent, la gold. The prlncl
pal is payable In gold at maturity. The price Is 10
and at the present rate ot gold, they pay a Uberaj
Income on their cost.
A very Important consideration In determining the
value of these bonds Is the length of time they nave to
run.
It Is well known that a long bond alwaysoommands
a much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to
assume tbat during the next thirty years, Us rate ol
Interest in the United States will decline aa It has
done In Europe, and we bave a right to expect that
such six per cent securities as these will bs held at as
high a premium as those of this Government, which
In 1857 were bought la at from 20 to 23 per cent, above
par. The export demand alons may produce this re
sult, and aa the Issue of a private corporation, they
are beyond the reach ot political action.
Tbe Company believe that their Bonds, at 'the pre
sent rate, are tbe cheapest security In tbe market, and
the right to advance tbe price at any time Is reserved

A Resolution of Inrinlry.
WiSHiNOTOK, Sept. 21. In the House, Mr.
Schenck Introduced a resolution directing the
Committee on Public Expenditures to Inquire
why the revenue supervisors had not been ap
pointed, and to ascertain whether any officer of
the Government, whose duty it was to admin
ister the revenue laws, had failed In performing
such duty. The Committee to be authorized to
sit during tbe recess, and have power to send
tor persons and papers. Objection was made to
this by Republicans, on the ground that it was
going Into general legislative business, and Mr.
Brooks, of New York, objected to its latroduc
tlon, when Mr. Schenck withdrew i.
Opposition to Legislative Ituslnesis.
There is a strong opposition to doing any
legislative bu&lneus, both parlies being anxious
to get through and go home as soon as possible.
A Uuoruru Mot Present.
On a motion to suspend the the rules, yeas and
nays were ordered, which developed the fact
tbat a quorum was not present, caused by
several Democrats not voting so as to prevent, a
quorum being recorded. E. B. Washburne has
just ordered a call of the House, which was
agreed to, and the Bergeant-at-Arms will bring
in absent members. The Democratic tactics are
'o defeat the Republican caucus if possible, so
that an adjournment sine die may be bad.
Proceedings In tho Senate.
In the Senate a bare quorum (thirty-four)
was present, and when the adjournment resoiu
tlon was pased, Mr. Buckalew voted no. Had
he not voted, the Senate would have been
without a quorum, and the resolution could not
have passed had objection been made. The
Senate resolution was sent to the House for
concurrence, and the Democrats are filibustering
to prevent a quorum voting, which they claim
will defeat it.
Tbe Roll
has jnst been called in the House .in J no quorum
is present. The Speaker directed the dcors
clotcd, and forbade the members to leave the
hall, and cent the Sergeant-at-Arms after ab
sentees. Tbe Absconding; Post Office Clerk.
Next to Congress meeting, the absconding case
of the disbursing clsrk, Olmstead, engrosses
public attention. Postmaster-General Bandall
and Third Assistant Zevely were engaged this
morning In Investigating Olmstead's account,
but nothing has transpired showing what the de
falcatlon will be, if any. Zevely was formerly a
disbursing clerk, and is well versed in the
accounts of that department. Bandall has ap
pointed William Bell, a former disbursing clerk,
to succeed Olmstead as superintendent and dls
buismg clerk, and ho is also abslsting in the
investigation. Fault is found with the Trea
sury Department for paying tbe requisitions
from Olmstead. It is alleged to bo coutrary to
the rule of tbe department, which requires that
any disbursing clerk who makes a requisition
for funds must settle all accounts relating to it
before another is honored with funds. Olmstead
has not been arretted. '
Both Houses Adjonrn.
At 1 o'clock, while the roll was being called
in the House to get a quorum, a message was
received from the Senate, announcing the pas
sage of the House resolution by that body,
which instantly put a stop to the House pro
ceedings, as both Houses having concarred in
the resolution It was now a law. The House
adjourned at ten minutes past 1 o'clock. The
Senate adjouined previously.
Who Were tbe Democrats,
Only five Democrats were present In the
Houce Brooks, Bandall, Eidrldge, Borer, and
Haight. In the Senate only two Democrats
Buckalew and McCreery. The latter came in
after tho Senate resolution had passed. Fully
120 memDcrs of tne uouse were in the city, and
a quorum would have been found, if nccssary.
