The Forgery of Final-Settlement Papers. Isaac Smith, alias Manche, and John Weide, alias Otto, had a nal hearing yesterday afternoon. The other parti final (Mahlon and Patrick and Catharine Dunn) have a hearing this afternoon. The parties are charged with implication in passing forged settlement papers upon two of the U. S. Paymasters in this city. The narrative of the facts connected therewith were published in The Pmts , on Monday last. The following facts were elicited at the hearing yesterday: Kr_ Taggart, a clerk in the office of Paymaster Tag gart, identified Smith as the man whom he paid the money on a forged settlement paper; the applicant came to the office in company with another Irian; be had been at the <Alice several times • 1 refused to pay him the first time he applied, because I ' was nor satisfied of his iden rlty; I pats him in a day or two after this. Captain W. B. Lane wan couch to prove by reference chat the settlement-paper upon which defendant drew the money was forged. The captain had telegraphed to Washington and bad received from that place certain papers exhibiting the handwriting of the genuine blank; the forged paper, siguarares, arc., are entirely different from it. This ease here closed, and the defendant was committed. He was employed for some time in the navy yard as a mechanic. The case of John Weide, alias John Otto, is, or rather Vas, a police officer of the city, residing at 112 , 13 -Anita street, in the First ward. lie appeared iu his uniform, though minus his star. This emblem was taken from "him by Chief Franklin at the time of his arrest. The following evidence was elicited in his case: Horse` -0. Ramborger, a clerk at the office of Pay- Master Riche, was called tit the stand. He identified the defendsnt as the man who drew the motley on the final settlement paper, writing is.. , his signature the name of jolt]: Otte, upon witch he pant him the money; this was on the lustof April, about the middle of the day; the pa pers alleged to have imen forged were now produced and identified. The witness int - titer testified that he had 1111 impression that hs s:LW deFendani last October at the elite° when he pro , eated the paper upon which he received the money ; he hal! on a cavalry coat; he looked like a 1...7111110d soldier; tittre was a short growth of hair upon his face, as (Leigh i„• had not been shaved for a - week or ten days; net a very strong - beard ; I next saw Lint on the 15th or Arlo, the day of the first hearing, upon looking at the papers he presented, I asked hint why lie was not paid at et. Louis on Om tiny lie received Lis discharge; he replied that lie did not get it until Isite in the day and was all XI..ZIN to gin home; lie said he had been ill service in New Mexico; I did notpoint out mall_ It tn for him at the first heart lig; I saw the defendant for the first time down stairs in this building 011 the 'lsth of April, after he Lad received the money; at the time he received hi* pay there were other soldier, in the room; I did not notice whether he cattle by himself or not; I suspected the papers were false some three or four days previous to the arrest; I took more notice of him than I generally do of themen; I ad ways notice theregularspars ricularly; the best of my knowledge and tither I believe the defendant to b., the man. ' • John Sharkey, United States Deputy Marshal, testified that after arrest of Welde, went to h. house, 10`) Anita sitreet, in company with Deputy Marshal Schuyler, th ere sew a lady, the wife of defendant; found this cavalry jacket in the second-story front room (jacket shorn); also found a pair of military pantaloons; made a search, and feuud these papers (papers shown); one purported to he a discharge of Jobe W. J ldo, dat, 1 may 2, 1563, also a letter dated February 3, 1559. I arrested Smith olfax Blanch at this house; I Piund two hundred and lifts dollars in a box under the bed; it was in the United, States currency; the wife of defendant claimed it as he longing to her; I handed it to her; I found two one hundred dollar treasury tote!: in a hurean-arawer; Welde's wife said these belonged to Smith; took them; they are sealed up and marked, and in the hands of the United States Marshal. The defendant came with me willingly; he said he wits innocent; I had some conversation with h Slim about Mahlon, who is also under arrest. The investigation here closed, and the defendant was committed. The part that biathlon took in the transaction twill he investigated this afternoon. 11leforo. Mr_ Mayor Hoary_ Test lattestion. • Mr. Adams; who was complained of as maintaining a nuisance by employing an incompetent boy to run a steam engine, was bound over yesterday to 'answer. Me has chard his establishment. The mtse, whieh was to have been a test one, will probably bs dropped. Some other person will have to be arrested. If the resi dents of any neighborhood feel unsafe in consequence of incompetent or careless persons being employed to ran steam engines, it will be necessary for 050 of them to make an affidaTit of the facts before the Mayor or any other committing magißtrate, upon wide'. a warrant may issue. [Before Mr. Aldcrman McMullin.) Larceny. John Weber was committed yesterday to answer tin ) charge or robbing Pollee OffLer2dcife e of a watch is alleged that the defendant is a repairer or watches, and , es and goes from house to house in search of tine-pieces, to put them in good order. The . officer entrusted Mm with one that required a little atrennon, but defendant neglected to return it. He was probably under the im pression that such a transaction was simply a breach IA trust, for which there was no legal penalty. The re vised penal code makes the offence felony. [Before Mr Alderman Jones.] Committed. Joseph Hewitt, the driver of a wagon was arraigned yesterday on the charge of assault and battery upon a little child by running over it with his wagon. The accused was committed to await the result of the inju ries to the little one. In the language of the coroner's jury, had the driver been more careful, the affair might ave been avoided. [Before Mr. Alderman Ogle. Missing Costs. A man who had taken out seven coats to make, from the establishment of G. W_ Ikea & Co. , Wee arraigned yesterday on the charge of the larceny of two of them. It is alleged that he only returned Ave coats. Ire Wad 'held for afurther hearing. . • nee of a Murderer. Robert Louden, of St. Louis, was recently tried by a mi llitayy commission as a spy and for other military Cl'l2lloB. He NM found guilty, and sentenced to be hung. Louden is a Philadelphian. in the year 1850 he was charted with having committed the murder of Robert Davary, ti t thlo city. )19 Aed. but DettetiYe L. H. .Smith tracked him to St. Louis, liflagocri, and brought him back to Philadelphia. The accused was tried and convicted of murder in the second dsgres, and was sen tenced-to a term of twelve years in the Eastern Peniten tiary. He was pardoned by the Governor. The mur derer then returned to St. Louis, and when the rehol lion broke out hejoined the rebel army. Five months ago he was in the city of Philadelphia, and an attempt was made by Deputy United States Marshal Sharkey to arrest him n, i ,p'', but the villain escaped. His bro. titer was in the rebel army. This fellow was killed in a riot ia Richmod; Virginia. While Robert Louden lived in Philadelphia Ids character was notoriously bad; he was so morally degraded, that he would not shrink from conripittiug, any crimp. THE COURTS.

IMPORTANT DECIsION FOR SHIPPERS OP COAL OIL PROM PITT:IDCRo VIA THE pIINNSYLVANIA RAILROAD FOR NEW TORW. Twel Is vs. The Pennsylvtnia Railroad ComnanY. Certificate from WWI Prins. In his opinion Jude Pt rout , . states the question in this case thus; "The sut stantial question in this case is whether the defendants may rightfully demand from the complainant higher for transporting over their railroad coal oil con signed to him at - Philadelphia, and received by them for carriage at Pittsburg, than they demand of shippers s•onemlly from the same place of loading to the same plan- of delivery, merely - because the complainant in tends to send the oil afterwards to New York. Does the place of limit destination, if beyond the terminus of defendants' road, justify an increase of the charge made I;tr transpprting over the road itself freights thus des tined over the rate, established for similar freights des tined for the terminus itself? It is to be observed that the railroad of the defendants is wholly within this State; that it does not extend beyond Philadelphia east ward, nol• westward beyond Pittsburg. It is also to be noted that the oil delivered to the defendants at Pitts burg for carriage, and upon which the charges com plained of are made, is a domestic product of the State t and as such, is entitled to the spirit of the protection (if not to its letter) extended by the commutation tonnage tax of 1561 to domestic products. If transported from Pittsburg to any Eastern market, it must pass over the road of the defendants. It has no other available route. • Thejudge here enters into a discussion of the ques tions raised, in the course of which several decided cases, where the same principles of law were involved, are cited, and concludes as follows: "We hold, then, that the rule of the defendants of which the complainant complains is unreasonable, and such as they have uo legal right to enforce. The apology set up for it is not sufficient. That the imposition of higher rates for carrying the complainant's oil to Phila delphia, because it is afterwards to be forwarded in some way to New York, is necessary, to prevent his having an advantage in the New York market over those who employ the defendants to transport all the way, or over those who send oil from Pittsburg to New York with through bills of lading, is a matter outside of their control. It has no proper relation to them as carriers. "An injunction will therefore be issued, according to the prayer of the bill, and an account will be decreed of the caress over the -usual or ordinary rates of freight, heretofore paid by the complainant to the defendants, •end the amount found by such account to have been paid in excess of the ordinaryrates of charge for transportation from Pittsburg to Philadelphia will be decreed to be Paid to the complainant, together with interest and the costs. The account is not to include anything more than ouch excessive charge* and interest. Let a decree be prepared accordingly. - Shiffer et al. vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.

After giving a history of the railroad from its con struction, in 153:3, and the varied legislation in relation thereto since that time to the present, Judge Agnew closes as follows: " Upon the whole, therefore, we per ceive no ground in law upon wharf, the complainants can compel the city to maintain it railroad in exigence which, from the passage of the ordinance to abandon it, we must presume to be no longer justifiable, but to be against her welfare. The facts stated and proved clearly create no ground for an equitable estoppel. The special injunction is, therefore, refused. " Thomas Branson vs. The City of Philadelphia, John D. Hazel, George W.

These Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress of Match Bth, 1864. which provides that in lieu of so much of the loan authorized by the Act of March 3d, 1863, to which this is supplementary, the Secretary of the Tree retry is authorized to borrow from time to time, on the credit of pile United States, not exceeding TWO HUN DRED MILLION DOLLARS, during the current fiscal year, and to prepare and issue therefor Coupon and Re gistered Bonds of the United States, and all Bonds issued under this Aceshall be EXEMP FROMT TAXATION by or under any State or municipal authority. Subscrip tions to these Bonds are received in United States notes, or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE RE• DEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not lees than ten nor 97/ore than forty years from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Benda of not over one hundred dollars annually, and on all other Bonds semi-annually. The interest is payable on the first days of March and September in each year. The semi-annual Coupons are payable at those dates, cud the annual Coupons on the 50 and 100-dollar Bonds are payable on the first of March. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. RPgiStared. Bonds are re corded on the books of the Li. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred .only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for commercial uses. Registered Bonds Will be issued of the denominations of Fifty Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dollars (sloo),.Five Hundred Dollars (b 500), One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), Five Thoisand Dollars ($5,000), and Ton Thousand Dol lars (VOODOO); and Coupon Bonds of the denominations of Fifty Dollars ($5O), One Hundred Dollars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), and One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued interest in coin (or in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for premium), or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or State taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent. pe'r annum, according to the rate of tax levies to various paris of the Country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay over eight per cent. interest in currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent or temporary inveatment. It is believed that no securities offer so great induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of 11. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or sepa rate communities, only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from *V up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. The fact that all duties on imports are payable in specie furnishes a fund for like payment of interest on all Government Bonds largely in excess of the wants of the treasury for this purpose. Upon the receipt of subscriptidns a certificate of de posit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the original of which will be forwarded by the subscriber to the Se cretary of the Treasury, at Washington, with a letter stating the kind (registered or coupon) and the denomi nation of bonds required. .
