ARRESTED 0 f "IfS bS
John Roberts yesterday Pr0 nV,,rlhnr bearing
each by Alderman Kerr for a iirlb0! no" in
ontlic suspicion of having been c..- .
the robbery of the store of 8. 8. Carlin, N";
Arch street. It now appears that in n o iv
the store is a one-story stable, with a side alley.
The thieves entered this alley, ascended to the
roof of the stable, thence to a one-story exten
sion of the store, and thenco to the store.
Abont 3 o'clock on the morning of the occur
rence (Bunday), Lieutenant Killucky accosted a
couple of men (the prisoners) at Fifth and Knee
streets, and Inquired of them their business.
They replied that they had been out late, ana
were just going home, giving at their 1' c
a house In Race street, below Ninth. The Lieu
tenant rather doubted the fellows, but belnff
accompanied by a citizen who desired aid, aud
who wished him to accompany him, ho directed
an ofllcer to proceed to the house named by
them and ascertain if tbelr story was a true one.
The officer visited the boarding-house wUu
them, and found that they occupied a room
therein. Shortly after this the Lieutenant heard
of the robbery, and at once set watch upon the
fellows. He found that they visited a place on
Arch street, near Second, where thieves congre
Kreiratc, and he also found them visiting a
sparring exhibition at Seventeenth and Kidgo
avenue. At length ho concluded to arrest
them, and accordingly hud a bench warrant
..t,,i A number of articles were found in their
room, and also a card reading "Tailors 80 pieces,
ll(J0, Eleventh and Filbert streets." On the
8th of the month the store of John M. Floyd,
at Eleventh and Filbert streets, was robbed of
about 80 pieces of cloth, and the supposition
now is that the prisoners are the thieves.
Destructive Fire. About 10 o'clock last
nhrbta fire occurred in the distillery of John
Monroe, situated on Broad street, near the
(iermantown Railroad crossing. The premises,
which consisted of a two-story stone building
with brick extension, were soon enveloped iu
flames, as well as several vats which adjoined
them. Owing to the scarcity of water, the
firemen were almost unavailing and the place
was entirely desvroyed. The lire made an im
mense light, which was noticeable for miles
around. One of the vats destroyed contained
100 barrels of whisky. The amount of property
destroyed is worth about $30,000, of which
$10,000 is covered by Insurance. The remain
ing $20,000 Is a total loss. $15,000 is the worth
of the machinery and fixtures aud $5000 that of
the stock on hand.
Smoke About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
no httlc excitement was created in the neigh
borhood of New Market and Callowhill street
by the report that the malt honse of William V.
Swcatman was on fire. The origin of the rumor
was the issuing of a dense volume of smoke
from the building. Although no alarm was
sounded, yet several fire companies were soon
on the ground. Their services were not needed,
as an examination disclosed the fact that the
fire was confined to a kiln. This being fire
proof, the proprietor ordered the doors to bo
closed, and the lire soon died out for want of
fuel. Ry this wIbo action an immense- loss by
water was prevented, for, had the flreuien been
allowed to go Into service, damage to the malt
could not have bi-en prevented.
"Likely to be A Congressman Yet." This
morning a rumor gained credence thut General
William B. Thomas, cx-Collector of the Port,
flour merchant, general comraaudiug the 4th
Brigade, P. V. M., and a would-be Congressional
Representative from the Fourth district, was
dead. One of our reporters was at once detailed
to ascertain the truth of the rumor. Ho repaired
to the rooms of the Commercial Exchange,
"Walnut street, afcove Fourth, and there he almost
Btumblcd over the General, who to all appear
ances was worth a regiment of dead men. The
General, we ara happy to say, never enjoyed
better health, and does not at present intend
forming the acquaintance of an undertaker.
The Tale or a Dow Soma time lat night.
whilst two citizens named John J. Holsler and
Samuel Wentz were walking through Bank
etreet, they were attacked by a dog belonging
to an old private watchman named Joliu Shea,
Wentz. to protect himself, gave the canine a
kick, which sent him yelping. This exasper
ated the old man. and drawing his revolver he
fired at Wentz. tie ball happily taking no effect
Shea was then arrested, and was this morning
held in $1000 bail for a further hearing.
IIiohway Robbery Edward Reynolds and
TTflnrv Brown vetMrdav attacked a German at
Fifth and Bainbrldge streets, and knocked him
down. Reynolds then held him by the throat
whilst Brown rohbed hiw of his valuables. As
coon as released the "Deutsche" yelled loudly
for help, and a policeman responding, the pri
soners were pursued and captured. They will
have a hearing to-day before Alderman Kerr.

THE N.Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
Trom the If. F. Herald.
The monotonous dulness of the Stock Exchange
has Fiven place to an active and In a degree excited
itpecuitMvt; campaign In favor of higher prices. The
signal for this muvemeat seems to be the prospec
tive defeatcf the Fundl.g bill, the passage of which
In the uppek bouse of Congress started the sharp
downward Movement In gold and th resulting
decline In stocks and Governments. Now, however,
tu assurance Is ijlveu from Washington that the
measure hits been tendered so odious to the me'u
xbera of the Ways and Menus Committee or the lower
t,ne. that It will rccei e u ifavorablo action at their
hands.
j no f irect of this trrt.clllgcncB led to a very acttvo
market for gold, the price of which ran up to 112V.
and closi-d linn thereat. The clearances to-morrow
will ('onlitli'fs rnnge at high as sixty millions as the
result Of the da v's transactions. Tire upward move
ment was coiunatcd, however, by the inactivity, If
pot heaviness, of foreign exchange, which Induced
frCC isalf l VU fpeculative aceuijiit, the operator for
a decline basing l- r.'.'.r.'u upon llM J. "f
half a million In the exports of the week and the im
portation I iv steamer to day of about l-Wiymo spec-id
shipped here in franes whet exchange was ruling
about a quarter per cent, below present quotations.
It U a question whether these sules, based as they
were upon such normal Iniluunces for a decline,
would not have led to a sharp decline In gold, hud
not the news from Washington so encouraged the
buying movement on the part of the 'bulls.' As will
be seen the expected defeat of the Fund
ing bill led to a shnrp advance In Governments de
spite the more feeble response In gold.
"The more active speculation and rise In prlecs at
the Stock Exchange Induced a better Inquiry for
money to-day; and though the bulk of business was
at four to five per cent, on Governments, and at live
on stocks, new engagements on the latter collaterals
were frequent at six per cont., particularly whero
the borrower sought the loan after half-past 2
o'clock. Commercial paper was In good demand at
seven to eight per cent, for prime names, rrnu
bankers' slxty.day paper were quoted as low as Gtf
per cent. Foreign exchange was Inactive on the
basis of NWw for prime bankers' sixty-day sterling.
"The speculative feeling for higher prices was very
strong In the Government room at the beglnulng of
business, the flrmnetft being due to what wr.& re
garded rb authentic information from Washington
that the Funding bill was certain to tie defeated in
the House, where the national uauk agents had been
mooring assiduously tor us overrnrow. nen at
the Hub-Treasury it was discovered that the pro
posals to sell embraced a total of only ti,1l,l't0
bonds the market became active ana rose aoout one
per cent,"

Despatch to the Ataooiated Pre.
Washington, March 31. In tho Supreme
Court to-day Attorney-General Hoar made a
brief argument to show why the legal tender de
cision Bnouia tie reopened.
He was not insensible to the creat weight of the
Judiciary, Its public reputation and lta claims to the
commence or tne country, out a more important de
cision and Us consequence?, both public aim private,
was never Dei ore pronounced, ine statute on
which it was batted was passed by a large majority
In Congress, approved by the President, having all
the forms or law, and attention had been called lu
both houses to Us constitutionality.
There was tins weigut oi authority to Deginwitn,
and a law substantially acquiesced in by the people
for nearly eleht years, and on which millions upon
millions of dollars of contracts hail been settled to
the great loss of panics. A statute which, so
far as he was aware, with one exception, had been
held constitutional by every 8tate tribunal, but at a
time when by the law tills court consisted of nine
members tnere were seven only on tne Deucn, lucre
beliiif two vacancies.
The question was decided here by four against
three judges. The question therefore stood, re
ducing it to its essence, that upon a judicial opinion
or a single man tne case was aajuuicaieo. lie sug
gested that it should not be left to a single man to
decide upon tne whole constitutional power aiieeu
lng tne legislation oi sucn an important cnaracter.
lie nrefaeu tne reopening oi tins question oticause
It concerned a great mans of private interests, but
more especially because it seemed to him to involve
a fundamental principle, namely, the powers of the
Government, lie desired agalu to present It when
the bench was full, so that they may forever settle
what the law should be. sucn cases or rcconslde'
ration were by no in etuis without example.
In the case of Mcculloch vs. The State of Mary
land, the Court, Ave years after an opinion was pro
nounced, allowed the whole question to be reopened
and reargued. It seemed to film it would ho better
rur an parties concernea u tue opinion in tne i.egai
tender case could be changed.
Jumea M. Carlisle replied, saying the Attorney
General had analyzed and disparagingly criticised
the court, because, as he had remarked, the question
was decided by the vote oi a single judge.
However that might be, it was the judgment of
the court which had been pronounced in that case.
What was to become ofthe hlgheHt Judicial tribunal
In the land, if opinions were to be reopened ami
reargued because of the small majority deciding a
question? Whatever might be the majority it was
nevertheless the opinion of the court. What had
they to do with the previous opinions of the court ?
He then referred to the fact that the case of Heir
ner vs. Grlswold, one of the bank cases, Involving
principles applicable to otner parties, nau oeen post
poned from one term to another, for the purpose of
argument, thus showing they had all been uareiully
and elaborately considered.
The court said they womu taice tne matter unuer
advisement.

the direction of the War Department, of the line of
water communication between tidewater on the
James river, aud the Ohio river at the mouth of the
Great Kanawha, by the way of the James and Kana
wha rivers, and their tributaries, with a view to as
certain the practicability and utility or such water
communication as may be required for the transpor
tation of military supplies In time of war, and to
meet the comnierclal necessity of the valley of the
Mississippi river, with liberty to report by bill or

Mr. Paine, from the Election Committee, reported
that the credentials of the members elect from

entitled to tiieir seais.
Mr. Butle'. (Mass.) opposed the swearing In of Mr.
Connor, one of the members elect, and read to the
House various adldavits accusing him of whipping
negro soldiers wnno ne was a captain in tue army.
and ot his having boa&ted that he bribed a iieio
to swear falsely beforo thu military commission
wnicn tried mm ior tne ouense.
Mr. Van Trump aiiked wucther the adliUvlts were

Mr. Hutler admitted that they were.
Mr. Van Tiumpsubmltted they should not be nsed
to affect the judgment oi tue House.
Mr. bhanks moved to lefur the charges against

Mr. Stevenson, a member of the Committee on
Elections, defended the report of the committee, and
chanted that tho ubjectlou made to Mr. Connor was
that lie alone of the delegation was a Democrat a
bad Texan boy. That might be all truo. Ho dli not
expect to see any very high specimen of
Christian gentlemen sent up here from
Texas; but what had they to do with that?
How did that ail'ect Mr. Conner's prima farie rlglit
to his teat? The member from Massachusetts who
charged that person, on tx parte allldavlts, with sub
ornation of pel Jury, hud himself defended a member
of tho uouse ior a greater crime, it wat, in nix
Judgment, a farce aud worse. It was a base partisan
proceeding, and ns sucn ne uenouiicea it.
