THE GOLD TUMBLE. ftxprrleace luted Hull i t'hne NowadaysThe Be. nod Bears 4Jold Down lo The decline In gold was the great topic yesterday In Wall street. A feeling prevailed for several days before that thostandant or values. If It might be so vailed, would enter upon an upward course and bob wound In tho neighborhood of 120. It touched lU'i before the day closed. The persistent ten dency, however, of gold to descend caused all the exoitement which made the Gold Koom yesterday the scene of an much turmoil as J-harscUirlKed the fainuua days of the latter part of UiM September. All the bulls could do failed to airect the heavy gravity of gold. The Gold Hooiu was a place of most extraordinary excitement. The familiar fountain In the centre of that great resort of the untamable bulla and bears plashed an peacefully as usual, and sent Its freshening volumes of spray over the weary and tired lounger who hung round Its bonier. The way the bulla and beam behaved yesterday would have con founded the most intelligent foreigner. They literally danced and howled, roared fiercely at each other, as if each was about to ny at the other's throat, shouted louder than It waa thought possible human lungs could with stand, and otherwise behaved in a very bewildering and delirious manner. It was generally admitted that the tendency of gold was downwards; bat few, however, cave credit to the notion that it was about to descend at once to par. To reach that point it whs easy enough to perceive that fifty dlirerent rjinspK lav in the wav the small share of bullion in the Treasury, the likelihood ot Imports exceeding the figures at which they have been recorded iu the last quarter, the suspense felt In regard to Conirressloual legislation and other thin era that mike an element In the aggregate Influence, nevertheless, a belief appeared to prevail that cold was destined to go to loo in a rush, and, at a consequence, much trepidation was felt among those who had held imported stocks purchased at a higher rate than 1W. Yet, after all, it may be safely net down that our merchants, who feel themselves somewhat imperilled by this rapid and low decline of gold, are better Batlstled, though they may suffer in the ordeal, to see our finances tending quickly to their normal basis than If they had to wait the tedious process of Governmental resumption of specie .payments. The spectator's gallery of the Gold Exchange was crowded to suffocation with an anxious or curious outsiders. In tne nit below, or. In other words. In the arena where the gold brokers yell like a set of devils all the Interest centered. The urn wAn nt-rfnctlv terrille. A pantomime of Fox's, with all the harum scarum elements exaggerated, gives but a faint Idea of the utter confusion, the madness controlled by method that charactttriy.es the Gold Koom. They shouted across the fountain space like ho many maniacs challenging each other to more than mortal combat. They did not tear their hair or pull their .fancy whiskers to pieces, but they strained their vocal powers to breaking. The spec tators were as much excited as the operators, and if they only hail a little training in the ways of the place juight have gone in as ardently as the others. At the Cotton Exchange there was a good deal of excitement also, for, sympathizing with gold the great Southern staple had declined several cents per pound, and many brokers were unusualiv exer cised in the endeavor to dispose of their orders to advautage. Gold will continue to foster excite ment some time longer in Wall street before it is finally quieted and brought to IU legitimate level. -V. X. Jlrrald to-day. THE MONARCH. A ltecepllnn on the 43rent Ship The Monarch as Opposed to a monitor. A correspondent of the Baltimore American writes as follows In that paper of yesterday: As the Phlox approached with the visiting party on board the "blue Jackets' were "piped'' to the .upper deck, and at a given signal ascended the rope ladders until they reached the cross-yards, where they disposed of themselves 24 on each lower yard 1(1 on each top-sail yard, and 8 on each top-gallanr. vard one hundred and Ufty men In all were aloft. An oillcer below Rave them many admonitions to "keep quiet" snd "cease talking," and also gave a couple of boys on the top-sail yard of the mi.zen mast very peremptory orders to "put their feet closer together." In the meantime the marines, in bear-skin caps and little red plumes, that look precisely like shav ' ing brushes, and the marines in cloth huts with itule black plumes that greatly resemble door knobs, and stand up about as stlfliy, were drawn up on the .quarter-deck. The l'hlox was lashed to the big uhlp, the plank was thrown across, aud General Shurrnan and his party came on board, the jand playing three measures of "Hall Columbia," and the murines presenting arm, iuo uunarea inn nuy "blue Jackets," in the rigging, were "piped" down, and the formal reception was over. J am not well posted in the history of the arts of attack and defense in naval warfare, but I am under the Impression that tne guns are at proseut a little ahead ; that is, no armor applicable to the sides of a uhlp has yet been Invented thut is impervious to the shots of the heavy guns that are carried by the ves sels of war. There was a irreat trial at Hhrewsburv- ness, England, a year or two ago, in whlnh all the tar gets representing the walls of an lmu-clad ship of the strongest build were utterly demolished by the heavy ttmootu-bore Armstrong guns. This being the facl.tho the best ship-of-war Is such an one which cannot be at all, or presenting Biich a surface that the projec tiles will inevitably glauce off. Applying this prin ciple to the Monarch, X do not regard her as a shin before which ail other vessels of war ruuHt lower their flags in humble obeisance. In her exposed wides, three hundred aud fifty feet long, It would be strange if a bolt could not be started aud a shot put through her some place near the water line. Iu mien a vast surface there must lie some weak spots. In close quarters I do not think that horguus could be suillclcntly depressed to strike the sides of a monitor at all. The turrets would be the nart exposed to her fire. In an engage ment between the Monarch ami Ampliltrito, fur instance, the tight would be like that between a (lin e bear aud active and vicious buil-dog. The bear would stuud upon his hind legs and deliver some heavy blows, but thev would be above the dog's head, and would not hurt him. The Amphi- irno woum nireci ner suoi at me juonurcn s ruts, near the water Hue ; there would Ihs no possibility of missing the mark, and when one of the terrible mlsshes would take etlect it would be In a vital spot. .Should the monitor find herself In range or her an tagonist's guns, ho could whirl around as if her rudder was a ptvof, and got ou of the way, while the Monarch would have to descrliKsa circle with a radius of half a mile to nerfonu thesame evolution. The average American ooy, who has been reading up the sa fights as de- acrioed in tne scnooi maturing, confidently believes that two monitors, commanded roHncr.i.ivHiff hv .lohn Paul Joucb and Stephen Decatur, sould whip tho Monarch in less than thirty miuutos. This Is a good, honest, patriotic faith, even if it is not founded on the most extensive information, and I rather Incline to it niyscii. The Monarch would have this advantage should her engines become disabled, she Is a sailing vossel and could still contluue the flgUt on the other hand. should her masts and rigging be shot away, as long as her engines remained In working order she would not miss them, aud would only become helpless whn both masts and engines were destroyed. When the engines of the Amphitrlte are disabled.she Is a helpless wreck, rolling In the sea at the mercy of the waves. The monitors are constructed on the theory that no shot ever will reach their sugines. Nevertheless the Mouarch is a great whip. She ran cross the ocean, sail around the world, am: nnrsno her enerov from sea to sea, while the mom 1tk. like suDen wan li-dogs, hsve to lie umi fbe hart ors and nffthe coasts and wait for somebody to come and light them. I The Monarch Is also a trreat ship in her comfort said luxuries. Her officers have tneir quarters in rooms such as are only found in the houses of the more opulent denlnens of the shore. They dine on oiled walnut tables, and sleep in state on patent spring mattresses. For genteel living, for entertain ing visitors, and lor annsing ner uw.iuub najeat.; health, her cabins cannot be iu rpassed. KOBE ABOUT BEBQNER. kOWSY'H FOURTH LITTER.

Hahribbutio, March 4, 1870 Deacon Gcoro Bcrener: I salute you again this morning, having returned to a city and a Legislature which yon ana your associates are iaei. uiumus odious and Infamous by your file practices. 8o Infamous, that the public, when tbey see that you, you yourself, without exposure until now, have made a sum out of tho sweat of the peo ple sufficient to build a State Capitol iu any square in Philadelphia, will be astouuded, and you had. better, prepare to meet the scorn and righteous indignation which your con duct so Justly deserves. In my first letter I promised to give the peoplo some of the items from the Auditor-General's oillco of j our re corded peculations, Tho unrecorded oucs of which 1 epoke will, in all probability, bu covered by an impenetrable veil until the great day of accounts for under the laws of Penn sylvania yon are a close corporation.

" " " ....'S0.3M Total UWViOG It mut be borne in mind, while contemplating this vast sum, that you have claimed and been allowed the monopoly of furnishing all the de partments, while in the hands of Kcpublicans, Wltn ail tne stationery usea luercin since 1001, which may bo safely aggregated at, for ten years, the sum of .r0,000, which, added to 1153, 500, makes the princely sum of $2(J8,500 you have drawn from the State Treasury since 1861, saying nothing about tons upon tons of your worthless Legislative Jlecord which jrou sold to the paper makers, and pocketed the proceeds, after you had received pay from tho State at the rate of fifteen dollars a page. In addition to this, Deacon Bcrgnor, yon have been l.'OBtmaster of iiarrisburg for six years, a place that a crippled 6oldier and an honest man should have enjoyed, at an aggregate salary of tl8,!500. While Postmaster you had a share in a majority of the contracts given during tho Uc belllon to a favored class of Kcpublicans of llar rlnburg, from which it is popularly asserted and believed you made $ir0,000. You have had a monopoly of all the advertising done for ten years past by the United Slates Government at Ilarrisburg, which practical printers assure me was worth to you 410,000. You have been doing the printing and advertising for Dauphin county for fifteen years, for which you received $10,000 profit. This snows, in round figures, that you nave received irom tne National, state, ana Dauphin county treasuries, in ten years, the sum of 3'.tS,80tt. Nor is this all. ov have bad a prout on all the coal furnished to the State of Pennsylvania, for use in the Capitol, during the same ten years. You undoubtedly made money in fur- nisning tne legislature wun postage-Biamps t.oi which 1 shall speak In detain while you were fostmastcr so mat, aggregating an tne prouts, you have reaped from all the public treasuries into wmcu uu cuuiu juiiuc yuur arm, it is oiiiu to put down your total oi clear gains, indepen dent of your Legislative jobs, in ten years, at 7.r),000! And you are not uouc or satiated even now, because you still have a monopoly of the patronage of the clerks oi botu brandies ot tne legislature, ana ail the departments of the State Government, are Postmaster, and do all the advertising at Ilar- rifiburg lor tne United States Government, so that you to-day, independent of your publicly plundered fortunes, enjoy an income of clear prolit from oUicial patronage alone of not less than Vuuuu annually : I ou uuow no other Ke- nublican to claim any share in a Republican victory. Not satisfied with your gains as I have given them, you actually started a kind of book. bank, and shavine shop, to carry on tne busi ness of which during last year tho first of its existence State Treasurer Mackey allowed you to use, and you are still using, $35,000 of the people's money, which you loan them (their own money; at usurious interest. bat can tne masses oi tne Republican nam think of the picture ? I gain my knowledge of the amounts of money you drew from tho State from the reports of the Auditor-General. On one occasion, alter you had been paid an ac count to which you had sworn, it was discovered you had fraudulently drawn more than you were entitled to, ana were compelled to return to tho btatc the sum oi wiucu you sought to cheat it, and U was no easy job to compel you to disgorge. Mv information as to your other receipts of public money, I believe, is correct and reliable. You may have beeu in secret schemes of plunder outside of your law selling, with which I am not acquainted. You certainly are engaged as a constant borer In the lobbies of the Legislature, where you pass your time during the session of that body, instead of remaining in the ilarrisburg l'ost Olllce attend' ing to duties which you thus neglect, and for which you receive an annual salary of several thousand dollars. The Postmaster-General ought certainly to know that the Post Office at Harris- burg is, . to all Intents and purposes, conducted without the presence ot its legally appointed Postmaster; one whom nlue- tentlis of the decent and respectable Kepubll cans of this city repudiate, and who, if they had the power, would hurl you from a position vou disgrace. In conclusion, Deacon Bergner, let mo w hinpcr in your ear, aud suggest that beforo you go hence, you sell your ill-gotten lands and newiy-constructea biocss, ana nave tho proceeds ready to deposit in the ample pockets of your shroud, and in a stronir iron sale lu your grave wherewith to tempt St. Peter, as you have often tempted members of the Legislature, and be prepared to cheat the Devil, as this is mani festly the beat use you are likely ever to ninke oi it. As I intend to he as radical on thieves in peace as 1 wab ou rebels in war, I shall continue thw subject. 1 am, Deacon, (is ever, faithfully yours. Monuow B. l.owKT IT IX A BAXL00X.

Russell, Jr., and attachments wero Issued to the amount of about $1000 to satisfy tne eeverai claims. All the property, wararoDes, stage property, etc., belonging to tho troupe and said to be worth three or four thousand dol lars, were seized, and are now iu the hands of the magistrate. What will be done in the premises remains to be seen.

Another flraail Oratorical Rala of the WtroniO itllndra Itdlea Womea Nhoald be Nenataro TbeylnteoH to Wipe Oat Mlae-teataa of the lawa and Make New One. The Woman's Suffrage Association held their regular monthly public meeting yesterday after noon, In New York. It was called tp order by Mrs. Blake. BNTKR THE PRESIDENT. The secretary took Grace Greenwood's letter from the last speaker, and proceeded to read it. While It was being read, the President, Mrs. Wllbour, entered tho room. There was then a little pantomime between her and Mrs. Blake about the chair, the latter desiring to vacate, and the former modestly declining to preside. It ended with Mrs. Blake's remaining in the cbalr. Mr. Poole (to Mrs. Blake, pointing to a roll of papers in her muff) You have got a muff full of wisdom. Come, let us hear it. Mrs. Blake (in dumb show) Yes presently all right wait a bit. Mrs. llallcck Tho chief reason why I wanted that letter read is becuuso I have seen it fre quently stated that women don't want to vote. Now, let such women, if there be any, learn what members of Congress think about them and the ballot. EQi:AI.ITT OP I'OWER. Mrs. Blake moved tho following resolution 7co?PiW, That as women are affected equally with men by the policy of the Government, it is no more than just that they should have equal power in controlling that policy. In support of this resolution, Mrs. Blake said: During the past month very great progress has been made in tho emancipation of women. A woman has been chosen Justice of the Peace, and eleven women have been drafted to serve as jurors at the ensuing sessions of a court iu Wyoming. 1-hIZE-riGUTS TO ItR ABOLISHED. Such disgraceful scenes as those which re cently happened on Mystic Island can never happen when women shall havo anything to do with carrying out the laws. NOT THE LAND OF THE FREE. This is called, indeed, tho land of the free, but the title is a false one; at least it applies to only one-half the human race. Woman, to the end of her life, must be a serf aud in bondage until she gets the right to vote. WOMEN OCOnT TO BE VNITED. Mr. Foolc said that ns women had been called to serve on juries, and to act as justices of the peace, lie would aaviao tucm to prepare tncm- selves by suitable studies to perioral au tne duties of American citizens. It is surely com ing that women shall vole. It would come to day if women were united upon tho question. WOMEN 11AKKISTEHH. We shall soon have women lawyers, for a woman lawyer will know much better how to present a case to women jurors than a man would, ana nence a woman lawyer wouia oe very much In demand for cases in which women acted as jurors, lie would again urge upon women the necessity of qualifying themselves for thcec positions, for they Knew not how soon they might be cauca to taKc tncm. THE DIFFERENCE. Mrs. Dr. Ilallock There is one thins; about women that I must complain of they do act un mercifully towards each other. How I wish that scandal-bearing wouia cease: Let women stand up for their own sex. The woman who would allow any man to say anything to her against a woman, is a disgrace to her sex. I have heard it said sometimes: "Oh, So-and-So is a dreadful woman; why do you allow her to come to your meetings t STRIKING OUT LAWS. If we had the ballot, I believe that nine-tenths of the laws would be wiped out of the statute books. They are a mass of stupid nonsense and folly. I say that women, therefore, must stand by their sex; they must not allow stories of scan dal to be spoKen against mose wno wish to join in the suffrage movement. WOMEN AB SENATORS. I think that women ought to form the Senate. If it is necessary that there should be two branches in the Legislature, why not let the Senate be composed of women ? THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. After some further discussion Mrs. Blake's resolution was put and unanimously adopted. The Other Hide The Agitator Repudiated women7 weru-ine f amily. The N. Y. Tribune to-day publishes a letter from a Philadelphia correspondent signed "Lu crctia," which will meet the cordial approval of real women. We present a portion: I have lust read with much pleasure. In your issue of Feb. 23,. "An appeal from one of the majority." I do not share the fears of the writer that the so-called "sixteenth amendment" will ever be adopted. I do not think that our legis lators can be induced to lorce tne ballot upon an immense and unwilling majority; but I do feel, with many others, that the time has come for the right-minded majority to mane itself heard. The noisy, turbulent, notoriety-seeking, am bitious, and egotistical "strong-minded" mino rity have bad the floor to themselves long euough. Their absurd claims to represent the sex, which almost unanimously repudiates them, should be refuted; and the arrogant, insolent tone in which they urge their "reform against nature," their "revolt against motherhood and wifehood," and the "anarchy of sex," should be rebuked. I therefore hall, as a promise of good, the ap pcaranco of communications like the one re ferred to above, and join in the entreaty that you will uso your powerful iHlluenco to teach tho women of our country, what it seems mar velous that any could ever have doubted, that their true mission lies in tho homes provided for them by man's loving care and protected by his strong arm. I do not forget that many women are denied the protection of husband and the love of children. For such I would express the deepest sympa thy; but would warn them that politics will neither afford a substitute for those holy ties nor prove a panacea for heart sorrow. I would urge them, after suitable preparation, to engage in some useful work; thus will tho blessing of peace and sweet contentment fall upon their souls, and supply in a measure the deepest of human wauts. But I am reminded of the complaint that woman's sphere of labor is so narrow that com paratively few oan find lucrative employment. It is far too narrow; but 1 believe it is so not because man has circumscribed that sphere, as is often nllegcd, but because of tho want in woman of tho thorough training which men receive for their work. Women alone can and must repair this evil; not by voting, but by faithful study and practice la the work they wish to do. They are awakening to the necessity, and are finding thorough preparation the :'open sesame" to many doors. The Women's Rights advocates claim all the merit of having enlarged the sphere of wotnau's labor. They have helped, and in so far as they have, they have done a good work, for which they should have full credit. But I am not sure before this agitation commenced a women would have been prevented by men from doing whatever she had determined, and had well prepared herself to do. We have examples of successful efforts in new fields after suitable preparation in Caroline Ilerschell, Mrs. Somer ville. Rosa Bonheur, Harriet Hosmer, Maria Mitchell, Dr. Eliz. Blackwell, and many others. Perseverance and determined effort are as ne cessary to woman's success as to man's. Another charge against men is that by closing tLi'Jr colleges against women they deny tueui the highest literary and scientific cnltnre. This I think an unfair charge, since not more than one girl in ten, probably not so large a propor tion, can no lnaucca to rciuaiu at enough to go through the "limited" coarse which young ladles seminnricn huw piutmo ir them. The faultJles chiefly with mothers, who permit their daughters to leave school as soon as they are old enough to "go into society. As soon as the demand for a more "eitendcd or more "liberal" curriculum for women shall exist the want will be supplied. Uneof the saddest aspects oi too nunuui Suffrage movement is the antagonistic altitude Its advocates have taken towards men, and their efforts to array woman in hostility against hor niuurai protector ana iriena. ve trust iutianr women can be made to look upon their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons as the "despots" and "tyrants" some public ranters describe them. We hope there are few who do not realize, that it is throHgh the tenderness, gal lantry, and loyalty of theso same guardians, that they receive all that makes social life happy, while to a wise, beneficent, and con stantly Improving male legislation, they owe their position to-day as the honored companion and friend of man, Instead of being in the state of slavish degrada tion of the women of India. If noise were an evidcuco of the sentiment of the community, it mlirht perhaps bo imagined that the Woman's nights movement was making the rapid tul vanco its advocates claim. But that Is no proof of its real growth, since the silence of tho many enables the clamor of the few to be heard, still, some few are being deluded. It is pitiable to see how readily unthinking people can be made to believe a fallacy when pronounced In fierce, declamatory stylo; some, for instance, are even made to believe the statement so boldly and constantly made in women's conventions, that woman needs only the ballot to make her rich, wise, and pure; and that when women shall exercise the right to vote, poverty, ignorance, and im purity will vatrlsh from 'the nation 1 Oh I the credulity of some people 1 As if the ballot could do more for woman than it has done for man 1 The degraded men of our cities exercise the bal lot, and "repeat" tho exercise of it, on election days, ofton enough, surely, to secure all the benefits it can confer. It neither enriches, en lightens, nor sanctifies them. Why should it do more for women ? I have often asked the question, but never received a reply more satis. factory than this answer from a woman, that 'Xn. Stanton said so !" MATBIM0NIAX. A Jcnklna a I a Jenkins He Rashe Into Oyater and Champagne. Madlv The Nashville Union certainly possesses the champion matrimonial Jenkins. Hear blm: Having bald thus much we have given the awful solemnity of the occasion, and strict pro priety might dictate that we should say no more. Vet, on this occasion, there is something more due from us than a simple marriage announce ment, iherelore, at the risK oi intruding upon that privacy which we know to be as seusitive as the aspen, and pure as the lily, we hesitating ly write further: ihe bridal party, lea by the Bishop in his full robes, entered tbe eastern door, and proceeded up the aisle until he reached the front of tbe altar. He was closely followed by the attendants. The groom led the mother of his bride. The observed of all observers, the beautiful bride, the queen of the city, the adored of relations, the beloved of friends, the admired of all, leaned upon her father's arm as she came into the church. The entrance of the bridal procession was greeted with the mnsical tones of the grand organ nnder the magic touch of Professor Weber, sending forth in all their sweetness the notes of that gem from Trovatore:uAi, I've sighed to rest me." The Impressive ceremony of the church was read by the bishop with all thut deep pathos which he alone is capable of imparting la voice and manner to words. The specially invited guests proceeded to the residence of Colonel McNalry, and were there received with all thut gorgeous hospitality so characteristic of the man and the mansion. The eletrant parlors were thrown open; 'Music arose with Its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell." Tbe delicate feet in the dance twinkled around. The steps of the fair ones were so light that their home seemed to be in the air, and they only, par complaisance, touched the ground. We conld but feel the exhilaration of the festal occasion, when every heart was throb bing faster than the merry tune, the soft eyes restless, the Hps parted with eager joy, and the lovely cheeks flushed with tbe beautiful motion of the dance. We steal quietly in the crowd, and see all of Nashville's radiant beauty present to bid a fond adieu to their sister and their queen. There, too, we see the chivalry of our city, full of adventurous spirit, tested oft upon the perilous edge of battle. But it does not become them or ourselves to speak more particularly. We have encountered the supper-room with all of its substantial, under the oreDaration and management of Jonnard, the cakes and confec tioneries, huge piles and pyramids, lotty and beautiful, grand in proportion, ana delicate in tracery. Lost in admiration we madly rush into tbe rear promenade, collect a few particular friends, swallow some oysters raw, scolloped, stewed, and fried, console ourselves with a bottle or so of champagne, bid good-night to all, hoping, praying that this wedded couple mar ever feel, as now, that the joys of marriage are tbe heaven on earth, life's paradise, the soul's quiet, the sinews of concord, earthly immor tality, eternity of pleasures.

The Rosenberg Lunacy Cae Court of Quarter Heeeionn Judge AUinon. This morning the bearing in the habeas corpus case of Louis J. Rosenberg vs. Dr. Thomas Kirk- bride was resumed from last Saturday. It will be remembered that Rosenberg, who is an Austrian by birtn, and a man or some means, was 11 rat connueu In an asylum In Ohio, which was destroyed by Are, nnu then he was brought to this city and confined in the Pennsylvania Hospital lor tne insane, ue com plains that he Is unduly restrained of his liberty by relatives who are desirous to get rid of him and to use his property; that he is not insane, and is aillluted with a tubercular disease, contracted during a voyage to tne Arctic r(tgions,wiucn, 11 not property ireuicu, win Hjieeuuy prove luiai. Atuie last Hear ing the Court ordered that physicians should be al lowed to examine blm, with a view of ascertain ing wnetner ne was su tiering rrom such a disease, and the result of such examination, which was made on Thursduy, was this morning given. Dr. Klrkbride said that he had Investigated the matter, though not as an expert. and was thoroughly convinced that the relator was laboring under a dulusiou in regard to this matter, and that his lungs were perfectly sound. Ho said that when he first saw the patient a peculiar, slnls- rer expression 01 nts lace indicated at once 111s in- snnlty. Subsequent observations had strengthened his belief ol the man's deraugemcnt. He bud a decided suicidal propensity, spoke in the most abuulve manner of every person who had beeu connected with hU case, accusing the counsel who represented nun last Saturday or having betrayed him and sold themselves to his prosecutors, in cluding the Judge himself In this charge, and saying mey were an in league witn mose wno wisneit to get possession of his property. The Doctor denied ever having detained any communications of tlu patient to his counsel or the Austrian consul, or Having autnonzea or countenanced any sucn deten tion. He thought it would be unfortunate for him to oe released now. Dr. Gerhard testified that he visited tho relator last Thursday and examined him as an expert, and found his lungs to be perfectly healthy, with perhaps the exception of a slight trace of catarrh, wlucli every person was subject to, and which amounted to nothing. From tne man's conversation ana manner he believed him to be deranged, and to be suirW'lug from an nnusuul species of Insanity that was difficult 01 explanation or uescnpiion.

When John M. Mellor was the Incumbent of the office of Recelvor of Taxes, oetore tuo decision of the contested olnctlon cases, he appointed as Re ceiver of the Twenty-third ward Alfred Gentry, who filed his bonds and entered upon the duties or the office. When this Court, In October last, declared Richard Pwltz to have been duly elected to the olllce of Receiver of Taxes, he appointed Alfred M. Duugan to the receivership of the Twenty- third ward, and nence arose the diftiouitv between tbe two appointees as to which was legally entitled to the olllce. Judge Paxson. before whom the case was argued, this morning decided that the apoolnUieiit of Gentry would continue valid only so long as his principal's right to the superior otl'ce aud consequent power ol appointment remained (rood and una.isal',el, fe-it that tne moment tne ereatlnir power was iecinrei wvrr to have li'irally existed the creature of It also fell. The .Hppolntlnir power having been decided V n k'frallv In Peltx alone, his appointment only eonld Stand: and therefore his appointee. Mr. Duncca, was entitled to the office. ; Court of Quarter SrutinnnJwIrKt Ludloie. Acqaltlal of Matthla Kan.
