THE D1ILV EVENING TOLEGRAPHPIIILADELPIIIA. TUESDAY, JANUARY 2G, 1869. jtjsw yorkisms: vmm Our Own CbrrenxmOent. rr0M Nbw Yobk, Jan. 20, 1889. The gentleman who is supposed to superin tend the morals and manners of the ponce u. una cnj, n,i departments to a degree ol penccuon ui ,.,h ere. else In this country, has lately been winning extremely leaden opinions, from gen ilemeo and others whom 111 habits Induce to be ut late upon tho streets, and In such a condition that it is ten to one that they do not make acquaintance wkh the Inside of a station. )use Wore morning. In other words, it has hitherto "beca the custom to have a general overhauling at elx o'clock in tue morning all such . arrests as may have "beea made the previous nignt, anu to pre- rnt the culprits at that early hour at the bars of ;he various police justices, ints was a nanny way of doing things all around. The magistrate came brisk and early to his work, and you nay bo sure Justice is none the less justice for being compelled to vrash and drees itself, and adtntalster the law break rustless, so many nlnates before dawn. The professional bum. rmcr jer could bo reprimanueu nuu scut up," as the demerits of his case seemed to demand- the tiiae-UltDOLoren cjprmu tum u sent to the stmdcs of Wackwell's, or the haidly less desperate shades of Water street whence sbo cunic, according to the appetite of his Jloor and the list of cases he saw stretch, lug before him; nnd the respectable old partJ "0 necessarily of the name of Johnson, who became "how came you so;- Without esactly knowing how, might be dis missed with a mysterious flourish of the hand and" s whisper, or a 'Iock this party up till he has time to send for his friends," according to the degree of hobnobbery the respectable old jarty might be able to communicate to the bosom of the judge. Kow, this happy condition of limps is changed. According to special enactment ol Superintendent Kennedy, the policemen are not permitted to takevgrant charges in court before nine o'clock. Hence when the string of drunk and disorderlies is -very large, the examination is not concluded until high coon, and resectable old parties lave the eminent bliss of figuring before a full courtroom of spectators and the unpityiug eye of reporters. For reasons best known to them selves the respective police magistrates notably Justice Dowlmg are wroth with the Superin tendent for instituting this chance, and have rushed into Barcastic print as a means of epeedy cure. "James Logan" has become a standard dish on the newspaper bill of fare, but it is begwuiug to lose its savor. The sauce piquante with which it was over-garnished is found to "be losing its tittilating properties. Perhaps too many cooks have spoiled the broth.. The time Is paBt when I used to visit police headquarters CY"" d?J; and whatever was known in Mulberry street was at my finger ends, from the fact that those fingers had been handling, some half-dozen times during the day, the despatches and returns that lay piled in the telegraph-room, the inspector's-room, and the chief clerk's office." Those times I say are past, aud Heaven be thanked for it. But I can imagine because i ran Tp.member the feverish anxiety with which the police reporter of every newspaper, great and small, in this great aud small Gotham, visits all the departments at headquarters several times every twenty-four hours, from noon of one day until 2 A. M. of the next, with very nerve tingling for intelligence of this James Logan. The present report is that he is In Great Britain. Why not say Eastern hemi sphere and have done with it? My own idea is that he is "up in a balloon," and that no detective will ever discover the parachute he Will come down in. brougham's opened last night to a gorgeous crowd gor geous in its combination of wealth, fashion, and beauty, gorgeous in the character of the ap proval it Btamped on each of the artists as he or he appeared. Miss Elbe Germon wa3 there, looking more radiant and delicate than I ever aaw her look before. I never beheld any young woman whose slight yet beautiful physique seemed more bent upon glviug the lie to the prognostications of the entire medical faculty f Philadelphia, who, two years ago, kept banding in their certificates and declaiing tinder oath that she would never live to tread the boards of the Walnut again. Bat, in fact, I tnnw of no moro "healthy" sight upon the. Hew York stage than, in her own peculiar line, Hiss Eupuemla Germon. Mr. Brougham, who exhibited more than his usual bnshfulness aud inaptitude at expression, "managed, however, to bungle gracefully through half-a-dozen sen tences on his own behalf. And bo the matter at present stand". Ali Baba. The Other Side. Much has been said about Mr. Peabody's new buildings tor the poor iu Loudon, but it uow aimcars. on the teatiniony of a workiugman, who says he "cannot at present see their utility," that grave defects exist. This man, rvhn writes to the London 'lelrfiranlt, eavs tho buildings are eo tar removed from the centres of industry as to De practically uhcissb, ana mat 1 bey are not (oll-supporiinir. Ho appends lho tollowing suggestion : "Why not, instead of capitalists building houses for the middle and upper classes, which do not pay a BUituulc return, build us 'worklngmeu' of London com fortable rooms, near to our employment, which would pay, under any circumstances, not less than ten percent., and iu mot cases fifteen to twenty nor cent.? To show the necessity for neb. a step, I will just say that at the back of Victoria street, in tbe lowest part of Westmin. tor. is one of these model lodging-houses. so much are tbey appreciated, that i have had my -name on the books for aduiK-iion this last three months, and it has not yet c me to my turn to get in." A Curious Iseclsilou A novel decision under the Tariff laws bus just been made by ino collector ot tne Cistoms at the nort of San Fraueiuco. Champagne and otber sparkling wines have to pass twico through the tropics to reach Cull'orniu, and in their transition tho gaes undergo so great nn expansion as to force tnem past tne cork and .mnnio rmt of one hundred and flftv cases. nurnortlng to contain a dozen quart bottles of .-!- ... ..aIi roppnt.lv imtinrteil hv o n Francisco house, it was louuu ttiat m.iuirty thn wine had almost wholly escaped. ihQ rnrVa and fastenings intact.

After giving in her testimony tho magistrate sent Robert below. Yesterday afternoon a clilr.on, while passing in the rear of the dwelltngs on Franklin street., above Master, heard singular noises in tho yard attached to the residence of Itodney Dolby, No. 1447 Franklin street.

Court of Over and Terminer Judees Allison and Pcirce. The trial of the young man James Hagan, for the murder or Frederick W inter, on lho llith of October last, was resumed this morning. The defense called witnesses to prove that when the defendant remonstrated witn me aeceaseu ior Binaing nis uorse, ine latter macie an insuiuug reply, going to show that there was provocation for the blow, and also witnesses to establish bla usually good character for peace aud quiet. Tbe defense relied mainly upon the theory that tne deceased was aiseasea in neart and liver and predisposed to apoplexy, and the flow of Diuou lormiug ine cioi oi uiooa UDon nia brain. which was the Immediate cause of death, come from the bursting of a blood-vessel pro duced by nis passion, surprise, and emotion. This tbeory, supported by Dr. Mhaplelgh's tes timony aud numerous oook auiuorities, if sue otssfully estnbllHhnd, they maintained would worn tneaeienuant's acquittu.1. Tne commonwealth, on me otner band. argued that the bursting of the blood vesswl, and the consequent hemorrhage which formed the clot of blood upon tne brain, were caused bv the defeudunt s blow upon tne ;-iead. But admitting that the hemorrhage was tbe result of emotion, this latter was caused by the violence of the defendant, bis negligence In driving at a rapid rate along the thoroughfare and uuon tne ucceaseu, wno was quieiiy pass- lug along, and his oliV-nslve conduct Hilerwardo, were tne moving causes oi ine excitement, from which the hemorrhage resulted, aud he was therefore responsible for the death, either to the extent of murder in tho second degree or mansiaugmer. f or mis position many au thorities were cited.

Yesterday a peremp tory mandamus was served upon tne Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by order of the Supreme Court of the Uiiiied States, com manding tbat Joseph H. Bradley be restored to that Court a9 attorney and solicitor Jin all his fiaucbises. ThiB morning Chiet Justice Carttcr directed an order to be entered, lu effect restor ing Bradley to the Criminal Court only. The Supreme Court of the District, he said, in doing thiB. simply yielded obedience to thu commands ot superior authority. They lunde tbe order because the ultimato tribunal commanded it. It was Impossi ble to follow the loijicof the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in detail, for the whole proceeding involved the Supreme Court ot tbe District in ruin. Tbe decUlon of the superior court was bused ou the theory that this district Court bad no jurisdiotion over the cd'euBCHot attorneys commuted iu oneof the branches of the court, aud inasmuch as the oflensc was aeainst an Independent court, tha punishment must be meted out there, aud uot here. It was difficult for him to reconcile to his judgment the tact that a majority of the United (states f-uprcme Court ever read the organic liny establishing the Supreme Ccurtof tho DUtrict. To assume tbat the Circuit. Criminal, aud District Courts were independent tribunals, was to assume tb it the law-making power for tUb District did not understand tho organization ot tbe Supreme Court of the Dis trict of Columbia. The law spoke of the Court as a unit, as one Court. It made but one clerk, and provided lor but one seal. The effect of this decision wss to debar Bradley from a bar that never eiisted, for tbe Crloii rial Court never had a bar, ex. cept so tar as that bar was divided from the Supreme Court (W the Dlbtrict. I had no roll of attorneys, aud never had. It had no sh1, no cleik; had no other regulations of an indepen dent court, aud could not have under tho or ganization of the present system. It would, therefore, be seen that it was 'utterly Impossible for tbe Supreme Court of the District to curry out the logic of the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States. Hut Inasmuch as tbe Supreme Court of the United States has declared in effect that Bradley was a member of the Criminal Court, aud not a member of the Supremo Court of tbe District of Columbia; aud inasmuch as it crested a roll of attorneys, which never existed before, t he Supreme Court of the District would yield lo the command of the Sipreme Court of the United States to the extent of restoring Bradley to practice in tbe Criminal Court. The Supreme Court of the District could do no more It it would, and would do no more if It could. Why this was doua it was difficult for hiai to determine. Tbe only solution he could discover was In the necessity of creating separate jurisdiction to lay the foundation ot the mandamus. The Supreme Court of the United States bad do common law Jurisdiction, Its Jurisdiction was moro restricted than thai of any other court, Inasmuch as the writ . of appeal was not created In such ease as that before them. This elastic writ oi man damus was insaed to serve its purpose. For himself hs did not feel permitted to let this judicial act of force pass without reassertinc mat tne bupreme court oi tne wniiea mates ftad no more control over the relations of the bar of , this court than this court had in tbe relations of the bar of the Supreme Court ot the United States. The power resided In every court to regulate both theidmlsslon and dis missal from its bar. For these reasons. "wbich Chief Justice Cartter elaborated, he ettered his protest against the proceedings of the Supreme Court ot the United States, and bethought this was tbe protest of the profss. sional mind everywhere. Tbe Supreme Court of the United States having decided that under the set of 18G3, orgamziu the Supreme Court of tbe District ot Columbia, several other courts were created, each having power lo punish lorcou'.empt or miscouduc, there fore, for the purpose of nccommoda'.ing tha practice ol this Court to the principles of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, of establishing a salutary rula of comify among all the courts organized under tbe act of 18C3, such as prevails between the courts ot Westminster, It is ordered tbat no attorney or counsellor who has heretoforo or who may hereafter bo suspended from practice or dis missed Irom the bar by order of eitiier of the courts organized by said act. for contempt of court or professional misconduct, shall ba allowed to practise in any of said courts so Ion? as such order shall remain In force: provided however, that an attorney who Is suspended from practice or dismissed tho bar may appeal from that order to this Court, or in other cases the same as when such order of suspension or dismissal shall have beeu first made by the Court in general term. Mr. Bradley inquired whether this order read mitted him to pructice at tho bur ot the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Judge Cartter did not give him a positive answer, but Intimated that the gentleman would ascertain dunng tbe term. FORTIETH CJttRESS-TlIlRU SESSION (Senate. Washtnoton J.n. 26 Ttfr.
