TEE LOTTERY POLICY DEALERS.
The first act in the drama of the prosecution
of the lottery policy dealors of Philadelphia
closed yesterday by a failure of the defend
ant to appear, whereupon thoir recogni
sances were forfeited. The names of the
partios aooused and . thoir sureties were as
follows:
Alvah Clark, ball 11000 : J. Madison Miller, No. 1401
North Fifth Htreet, surety.
William Parker, ball I1B00; J. Madison MUler, No.
1401 North Fifth street, surety.
Peter Gallagher, ball 15000; John O. Butler and
William P. Kemlriok, sureties.
Joseph Gallagher, ball $sooo; Henry Roluhard, No.
116 South hlxth street, and Josepn Shoemaker, No.
1TW Oreen street, sureties.
John ManderBeld, bail I1B0O; John R. Manderfleld,
No. 86 North Twenty-flrst street, surety.
Francis M. Prevost, hall $1500; Joseph Shoemaker,
No. 178 Oreen street, surety.
Bernard Barton, ball $1000; Joseph Shoemaker,
No. 172S Oreen street, surety.
It is supposed, however, that the bail will
be renewed, and the cases argued to-day.
The publio will await the result with no little
interest. Despite stringent laws prohibiting
the plundering operations of these gentry,
they seem to be practically beyond the reach
of justice. Their dens are notoriously well
known to the polioe, and day after day they
Continue to intensify the miseries of poverty
and to tempt their infatuated dupes to part
with the last remnants of their property. It
is their chosen mission to make gambling on
a small scale easy, and to graduate their
appeals to the pockets of the very poorest
of the victims of this vice. In numberless
cases children have been sent supporless to
bed, and families deprived of food, fuel, and
clothing, through their machinations. From
the madness of the many which they con
stantly engender, splendid fortunes for a few
are .created. Ben. Wood, the Democratic se
cession politician of New York, lives like a
prince upon the spoils wrung from his lottery
and lottery-policy interests, and he is but a
type of the predatory whelps of a lower de
gree who for years have bid defiance to the
police and the courts of Philadelphia. "Plate
sin with gold, and the strong
lance of justice hurtless breaks,." has been the
standing and heretofore the safe reliance of
these offenders. Confident in the protection
of powerful backers who drive splendid
equipages, live upon the fat of the land, and
take special pains to subsidize unscrupulous,
criminal lawyers and influential politicians
they have continued their nefarious pursuit
as publicly as if it was a legitimate calling.
The proceedings now in progress will help to
determine whether these dangerous and de
moralizing knaves are to be forever safely
ensconced beyond the reach of law, and the
welfare of thousands of their unhappy vic
tims is involved in this question.
District Attorney Gibbons has the sympa
thies of every just and philanthropic citizen
in his effort to break up the organized band
of polioy plunderers. We trust that he will
also direct his attention to the gamblers of
another grade whose operations were exposed
at length in our columns on Tuesday. If he
can suoceed in ridding the community of the
curse of faro banks as well as policy shops,
he will render a lasting and inestimable ser
vice, and not only rescue thousands from
ruin, but vindicate at last the majesty of laws
that have too long been openly violated.
The leatheb hanvfactubebs should enter
an energetic protest against the bill intro
duced in the State Senate yesterday by Mr.
Connell, to repeal so much of the law autho
rizing the appointment of a leather inspector
of Philadelphia as requires the appointee to
have served seven years apprenticeship, un
less the same bill provides that some definite
term, as five years for instanoe, : shall be
served. Very few apprentices at the present
day are required to pass seven years in learn
ing a trade, and these would be no objection
to amending the existing law with regard to
the appointment of a leather inspector so as
to make it conform to the customs of the
times. To do away with this very just
and necessary safeguard altogether, how
ever, would to place the office of Leather In
spector in the hands of some professional
politician, and this we have very little hesita
tion in believing is the sole object of the bill
presented by Mr. . Connell. Every man in
the leather business is interested in having a
competent Inspector, and in keeping the office
entirely free from the contamination of poli
tics. There are too many politicians already
in important and responsible positions of
this kind, and the publio as well as individual
and trade interests demand that the sphere
of aotion of this very objectionable class of
individuals should be restricted rather than
enlarged.
The bill authorizing the Thirteenth and
Fifteenth Streets Passenger Railway to lay a
track on Locust street was opposed in the
State Senate yesterday by Mr. Nagle, for the
reason, among others, that "the company
had no claims upon the Legislature." What
does this mean ? Did the company fall short
in the matter of "divw." that 'in the opinion
of Nagle, it had no claims upon the Legisla
ture' we can understand Nagle s objection
in no other light than this, for if the Thir
teenth and Fifteenth Streets Company asked
for an extension of this franchise in order to
accommodate the publio in a matter the pro
priety of whioh is generally admitted, there
ought to be no necessity for them to put forward
any other claims upon the consideration of
the Legislature. Objections to the laying of
this track from the residents on Looust street
if any such objections were made, are entitled
to a respeotfnl hearing;. but the accommoda
tion of the publio at large is of more im
portance than the objections of the compara
tively few persons who oppose the measure,
and we hope that the House will concur with
the Senate in granting the necessary permis
sion for the laying of the track.
Manx of the old-fashioned ideas about
usury have been materially modified by the
requirements of modern business transactions,
and money is now considered in mercantile
circles to be a commodity that is worth just
what it will bring, and that the holder is en
titled to dispose of on the most advantageous
terms that be can obtain. The six per cent,
rate of interest authorized by law in Penn
sylvania has placed it at a decided disadvan
tage in competition with neighboring States
where the rate is higher. The seven per cent,
rate in New York has drawn an immense amount
of capital away from us, and a modification
of our usury lawn, to place us on an equality
with our neighbors in this respect, has long
been demanded. Therefore the bill intro
duced in the State Senate yesterday by Mr.
White, providing that the legal rate of in
terest shall be seven per cent., and legalizing
special contracts not exoeeding ton per cent.,
will meet with the general approval of the
mercantile portion of the community. Indeed
there is no good reason why special contracts
for any amount should not be permitted by
law. Practically such a limitation will be a
dead letter, for men who need money will
have no hesitation in paying for it acoording
to their necessity, and those who have money
to lend will take what they can get for it in
spite of the law. The only eff eot of suoh a
restriction is to make it more diffioult to bor
row whete the legal rate is not of sufficient
inducement to the capitalist, and it is a hin
drance rather than a protection to mercantile
interests.
The State IIistobian may be a very import
ant and useful officer, but we are not aware
of the fact, and we are disposed to consider
him decidedly more ornamental than useful.
The results of his labors have never come
under our observation in such a way as to in
duce the opinion that he might not be dis
pensed with altogether without serious detri
ment to the publio interests, and we are very
confident that hisservices are not worth the sum
of $8500 in the way of salary and expenses, the
expediency of paying whioh is now being con
sidered by the Legislature. A bill making
this appropriation was considered in the
State House of Representatives yester
day and was laid over. The best
thing that the House can do is to lay it over
for good, or else to cut it down to something
like reasonable proportions. The people have
to pay too much now for the support of greody
and useless officers, and such a sum as this to
be paid out of the Treasury for the benefit of
the State Historian is a perfectly needless
piece of extravagance that deserves prompt
condemnation. If the offioe of State Histo
rian was to be abolished altogether, we would
probably manage to yet along very comforta
bly, however important it may be to have our
annals written.
Oub legislators are showing an unusual
and commendable regard for the opinions of
their constituents, if we are to believe the
press reporter of the legislative proceedings,
who states that the bill introduced in the
Senate by Mr. Wallace, authorizing the elec
tion of a Judge of Nisi Prius in October
next, still remains in the hands of the Judi
ciary Committee, and that the Philadelphia
Senators desire an expression of : opinion
before taking action. Our opinion is that
if the two additional judges of the Supreme
Court are created, as has been pro
posed there will be no absolute
necessity for a new Nisi Prius Judge, and that
it is more advantageous to leave the Nisi
Prius business in the hands of the Judges of
the Supreme Court than to create a supple
mentary Judge. We hope that this will aid
to some extent in relioving the perplexities of
the Senators from Philadelphia, and that they
will now Bee that it is their plain duty to give
their aid and influence to the bill for the en
largement of the Supreme Court by the
authorization of two more judges.
OBITUAIIV.
Ilorare Binney, Jr., Kq. 1
. This community has sustained by the Land of
death a loss of more than usual severity, in the
person of Horace Binney, Jr., Esq., who died
last evening at his residence on Sixth strcot,
below Walnut, after a severe illness of only two
weeks' duration, brought on a paralytic
stroke. The deceased was the ' son of
Horace Binney, Sr., whose name has been inti
mately associated with tho history of Philadel
phia from the opening of the century. Mr.
Binney, Sr., was born In this city in the year
1780, and Is now In Ids ninety-first year. He
Ion? since retired from public life, after having
held for years the position of one of the most
eminent jurists of the country, serving also as a
director of the old United States Bank, a mem
ber of the State Legislature, and a Representa
tive in Congress, and having boon one of the
unit and foremost In tho rauks of that courage
ous band of men who strove against the accursed
institution of slavery in the days when it re
quired more than an ordinary ! share of
courage and humanity to assail it. Aud
now, at the venerable age of ninety
years, he is called upon to follow to
the grave a son who had himself almoBt
attained the allotted threescore years and ten
and whose long public and private career has
cast no reproach upon the honorable name
which was not the least of his Inheritances.
Horace Binney, Jr., was barn in this city in
the year 1808, and had therefore completed his
sixty-first year at the time of his death. After
receiving a thorough preparatory education, he
entered Yale College In 1834, and graduated in
1828 with tho highest honors. The eminent sue
cess already achieved by his father at the bar
naturally fixed his choice upon the same calling,
and immediately after leaving college the do
ceased became a law stadent in the office of his
father. On being admitted to the bar he soon
attained an enviable position, his practice being
confined for the most part to the consultations
. sj th, office, but Us Married? ol tfw wost ia
trlcate branches of the law and his soundness of
judgment Rsve great, credit to his opinions, and
laid tho foundation of a largo and luorative
practice. , ' . ' 1 ' I
In the earlier portion of his career the de
ceased took an active part in politic il affairs,
being one of the most prominent members of
tho now dismembered Whig party of tho city.
Previous to the consolidation of the stirrosnding
districts with the old city, he served for some
years as a member of Select Council, and by his
ability, Integrity, and public spirit contributed
In no small degree to the high reputation which
our municipal government enjoyed in 'those
days. When, however, tho city gave a helping
hand to tho enterprises of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, by becoming a liberal sub
scriber to lis stock, Mr. Blnacy withdrew from
the arena of local politics. , As a member of
Select Council, he had earnestly opposed this
mcasuro from the start, and its consummation,
in 1848, was the occasion of his retirement from
that body, and the devotion of his entire time
and energies thereafter to tho duties of his pro
fession, r
. The outbreak of the Rebellion recalled Mr.
Binney to an active participation in public
affairs. He gave all his energios to tho support
of the Government, and was forward In all the
principal movements for strengthening the
cause of tho Union which originated in this
locality. On July 30, 1861, ho was appointed
a member of the Sanitary Commission, which,
organized less than two months before, contri
buted so much towards the health and comfort
of the loyal armies, being the first and most
representative man who became associated with
this noble work In Philadelphia, and devoting a
large sharo of his time and means to the fur
therance of Its laudable objects. He served as
President of the Pennsylvania branch of the
Commission, and In that capacity was the
director of its labors in this State. Mr.
Binney was likewise one of the founders of the
Union League Club, serving as a Vice-President
until the last election for officers, when ho was
promoted to the position of President, as suc
cessor to J. Olllingham Full, Esq., holding that
office at tho time of his death. As a fitting
tribute to his public and private worth, a special
mcotlng of the Board of Directors of the League
is called for this evening, to take action upon
his demise, and the League House has been
heavily draped in mourning and the flag placed
at half-mast, where it will remain until after his
funeral.
Mr. Binney was a prominent member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and for many
years past has been regularly sent to the con
ventions of this diocese as a lay delegate, being
present In that capacity and as active and zeal
ous as usual at tho last convention. . In all the
relations of life, ho was a man who combined In
an unusual degree the noblest elements of man
hood, earnest, active, enterprising, gifted with
as rare qualities of head as of heart, and above
all, characterized by a degree of uprightness in
all his dealings with his follow-wen which
commanded tho confidence and respect,
not only of those who enjoyed
his intimate acquaintance and friendship, but of
the community at large. Ho leaves behind him
quite a large family, embracing both sons and
daughters, among the former being one bearing
the same name as himself,' who acquired an
honorable distinction and rose to the rank of
major in the army during the war, and who has
since devoted his time, with fair promise, to the
profession in which the name of Horace Binney
has for two generations held such a high and
merited rank.

The death of the Hon. James Moncrief,
ex-Judge of the Superior Court of
New York, which occurred on the
1st Inst., is another sad inroad to the logal
profession, which will sincerely mourn his Ions,
while to his numerous irieuas ana aamirors,
whoso hearts are sad and stricken, his loss Is
irreparable. He was born in the State of Ohio,
Harrison county, on Sept. 16, 1833, of Scotch
descent (not in Ireland, as stated in the N. Y.
World ol the 8d mst.). At the early age of four
teen year he entered the law olllce of General
Philip S. Crooke, at that time of New York. At
the age of twenty-one he became a partner of
the late Daniel B. Tallmadge, after whose death,
from recommendations received from Mr.
Charles O'Conor and others, he received as part
ner the Hon. John il. McCunn. At the a?e of
twenty-five he was admitted to practice iu the
Supreme Court at Washington. At the general
fill the vacancy on the bench of the Superior
Court, caused by the decease of Chief Justice
Duer. He took his seat as Judge on the 1st of
of December, 1858. At the general election In
November, 1859, he was re-elected for the full
term of six years, from January 1, 1869, which
terms he served honorably and uprightly, with
bis own peculiar high-toned dignity and fidelity
of purpose. i
In 1667 he was nominated as a delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, but - declined the
nomination. In the death of James Moncrief
the whole community may well mourn, stricken
down as be was in the prime cf his days and In
tho full vigor of his manhood, possessed with
thoBO rare and high qualifications for usefulness
o much needed in these degenerate times. Pos
sessing talent ot a high order, with a well
balanced mind, great clearness of comnre
bonbion. a fine discriminating judgment.
retentive memory,, and a highly-cultivated
and well-Btored intellect, with the
strictest honesty and morality, noblest
generosity, coupled with fine conversational
powers and great natural caso and grace of
manner, renaerea mm at once a model Judge,
an able and learned lawyer and wise counsellor.
As a citizen and friend he was accessible and
excccdluKly courteous, possessing the dignity of
a high-toned gentleman with the gentle and
delicate sensibilities of a woman. Eminent
as James Moncrief was as judge, scholar, and
counsel, or In any or all of tho various positions
In social life, he stood out more emineutlv as a
pattern son and child. Losing his loved father
In infancy at the early age of 14, he determined
to help himself, and from that time to that
of his mother's death he endeavored
to fill his father's place by securing
domestic happiness and maintaining
the family circle, providing ery comfort which
money could supply, and watching over her as
he would the tenderest plant, never, as he said a
few weeks before his death, allowing her to
