BK.NCH, HAH AND JURY.
Court ProcooUlngH Saturday ami This
Morn mg—The Sheriffalty Contest not
Yet Taken Up.
Saturday afternoon the case of Charles
E. McCarty vs. John J. Lockwood, was
continued.
George Kstelstein, sworn in the morninz,
was recalled. He stated that Sipperly owed
McCarty a bill of $500 and gave him Lock
wood's note in part payment of the same;
wltues* was present when note wus given
McCarty; Sipperly then said Lockwood was
a responsible man, and fully able to pay the
note; the transaction took place a few days
before the note was payable.
Cross-examined : Sipperly assured Mc
Carty that the note was as good as wheat;
the transfer took place about August 1,
1875; Sipperly did not agree to see that the
note was paid; McCarty was in the insur
ance business in Rhincbeck, N. Y.
Mr. Lore briefly addressed the Jury for
the plaintiff. He - declared that, notwith
standing the circumstances under which the
note was given. McCarty was the innocent
holder of the note, and when he took it he
did not know wlmt it had been given for.
He claimed that no matter what the differ
ences had been between Lockwood and Sip
perly, McCarty, who had taken the note in
good faith and for a valuable consideration.
The law stated that in such eases an inno
cent holder should not be made the suf
ferer.
Mr. Biggs then cited a number of cases
in which it was shown that a note obtained
by fraud need not be paid by the maker
thereof. It was for the plaintifTs counsel
to prove that Mr. McCarty
holder of the note. He then addressed the
jury, basing his remarks upon the assertion
that D. F. Sipperly had attempted to per
pehate a fraud upon Mr. Lockwood. When
Lockwood bought the patent right it also
included a number of pruuing knives,
which, when sold, would have more than
paid for the note given ; but the défendent
had never received the knives. He thought
the reason that McCarty did not eome to
sue the note himself as both he and
Sipperly were working the transaction for
all It was worth. He hardly believed that
McCarty deposited the note by payment,
inasmuch as it was not endorsed by him.
The supposition was that Sipperly himself
deposited the note In the Park National
Bank, und that then it was protested. The
case was to be decided by the preponderance
of truth.
He concluded by asking the court to
strike out that portion of the testimony of
Mr. Esselstein w hich stated that the note
had been deposited in the Rblnebeck,
N. Y., by McCarty prior to the time
it was proteste*!. Ilv made the request on
the ground that the portion nliuded to was
only hearsay.
As Mr. Lore had yet to speak, and
nmy of the jurors w ished to leave for
home, court adjourned at 5 o'clock until 10
o'clock this morning.
THIS MOIt.MNO's MTSP'ON.
an innocent
Wi.cn court opened tiiin morning Mr.
Bigga icnewed ids request that certain por
tions of Mr. Easel stein's testimony, which
were only hearsay, should lie ruled out. He
also rca«l a number of citations and c
eluded by presenting to the court a written
statement of the lcgul points, upon which
he desired the beuch to charge the jury.
At 10 33 he begsu his clobing argument
for the plaintiff'. He commenced
by paying a tribute to the able
manner in which the learned counsel
on the other F.' .e had conducted the
case, adding that Mr. Lore, by his shrewd
tHHuageineut, had gotten iu every point at
ail touching upon the subject. The ease
was then fully reviewed, the principal and
almost the sole argument being tlint Mr.
McCarty was an innocent holder. He also
declared that if Sipperly biinself had sued
for the faeo of the note he would
have ijeen able to recover, Inasmuch
no fraud was showu. A part of
the considerations for which
note was given was obtained by Lockwood,
who, in refusing to pay the amount claimed,
only gave as an excuse "no funds," at no
time claiming fraud. Partial failure to ful
fill a contract dlu uot, bar the payment ol a
nolo. Lockwood should have paid the note
and then, if he felt he had been defrauded,
he could have sited Sipperly for breach of
contract.
Justice Wootten charged the Jury. When
he had stated the facts of the case, lie said
it was a well-settled fact of law that fraud
vitiated a contract. The first thing lor the
jury I« consider, he said, was whether the
original transaction wus u fraud und whether
McCarty, the plaintiff' in the suit, hud a
knowledge of the fraud at the time he task
the note. If it has been proved that the
knowledge ol the fraudulent transactio
had been brought home to McCarty he w
not entitled to consideration. But if it
is proved that ho had no Mich knowledge he
is entitled to recover. If he took the
from Sipperly for a valuable consideration it
was McCarty's plqce to have shown. The
tho questions,
the
turned
whole caë
even ii a gross fraud hud been perpetrated
by 8lppet'ly upou Lockwood, was whether
McCarty had any knowledge of such fraud
II not he was entitled to the amount of the
note with interest from the time it was due
and the cost of protest.
At 11.15 the jury withdrew.

PIRATE IIUBBELI/S WAY
SENATOR BAYARD ON POLIT
CAL ASSESSMENTS.
PLAIN TALK AGAINST THEM.
His Urgent Plea to Have the Infamous
System Investigated and Prohibited by
Penal Law.
* In the Senate on Friday, during the de
bate on the resolution of Mr. Beck, inquir
ing into the subject of political assessments,
and the substitute of Mr. Hale, Senator
Bayard, after arguing that the substitute
was designed to defeat the real end sought,
said :
The 8enate will not mistake and the
country will not mistake the difference be
tween these solutions and the results of
the inquiry under each. There
of Congress passed in 1876 in tho shape of
au amendment to an appropriation bill that
looked toward the abatement of the per
nicious practice of mulcting, assessing the
various officials of the Government of their
just pay for party purposes. At the time
that w as passed the Democratic party had
control of the House of Representatives, the
Republicans had control ot the Senate, and
by the joint uction of the two parties the act
of 1876, which was intended to prevent the
assessment of the ministerial officers ot the
Government by any one in the employ of
the Government using his power us a
superior officer acting upon the fears or
hopes of subordinates, bought to put an end
to the very abuse which it has turned out to
be ineffectual for stopping.
This last year one of the officials enumer
ated in the act of Congress, a Mr. Curtis by
name—I forget what office he held—was in
dicted in the United States circuit court in
New York for the violation of this act and he
couvicted, and he was sentenced, and
the Supreme Court, upon the hearing in a
habeas corpus for the purpose of inquiring
into the cause of khe detention, is unde: stood
to have affirmed the constitutionality of the
act. That stops the practice hy
ing like offices under Government, for Isup
e osc he was an executive officer of the
'lilted States, appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Two other offieeis, known generally aud be
lieved to be at much part of the official corps
of the countsy as Mr. Curtis, one of w hom
was the chairman, 1 believe, Mr. Hubbcil,
of one of the Congressional committees, diu
the same thing that Curtis did, openly and
above-board and positively.
The President of the United States has
6tated with candor and good sense and in a
manner mo6t creditable to himself that it
goes without saying that tho contributions
of this unhappy baud of officials were not
voluntary; they were simply Involuntary;
and the question was put to the President
whether or not in law Mr. Hubbcil was
liable to an indictment of the same char
acter under which Mr. Curtis was tried,
convicted, and sentenced. lie referred the
question to the Attorney-General, and the
Attorney-General gave an opinion that
under the decision,not of a court but of the
Senate of the United States in the im
peachment ease of Blount iu 1797 a
Senator or a Representative iu Congress
was not an officer of the United States, and
therefore that the letter of the law had no
application to him; nor its spirit,
intent to prevent officials from being de
prived of their just compensation and emol
•nt, not the iuteut to prevent official
power from perpetuating iteeil by using un
official salary tor a party end, but that
technically because this member of Con
gress, Senator or Repreeeuative, it mattered
not which, was not an official, strictly
speaking, therefore, he could not be sub
jected to the identical punishment that un
der the rcstruining baud of the law had
been upplied to Mr. Curtis.
Now, as 1 understand, the object of
the Senator from Kentucky is to
enforce that law' iu its spirit as well as in
its letter and to extend its scope and power
as to protect the United ttates officials
from iu voluntary assessment and to prevent
official salaries given to men for publie
uses, no matter by w hat party, being applied
to the cuds of that party.
A colloquy then took place between. Mr.
Buvard und Mr. llald, the former charging
the latter with making a speech at the last
scsslou in favor of political assessments.
Mr. Bayard then proceeded :
Mr. President, w r e have the fact that here
is uu aet of Congress through which the
customary coach-aud-four has been driven.
We supposed in 1870 that this practice,
which 1 esteem to be a dangerous one, of
coercing the subscriptions ol Government
employes to political funds, whether they
wish u> make them or not, or whether they
with just consideration to their own
expenses contribute or not, would be
stopp'd ; w e believed the act of 1876 would
stop it. It has turned out that there wus
no stoppage at all,but the customary coach
and-four has been driven through it, a6 I
have suid, and we find that a number ol
gentlemen, members of both Houses, who
nad astisud iu passing that law have
rendered it an absolute nullity by changing
the agency by which these exactions upon
officials were made.
THE BLOOD-MONEY PRINCIPLE.
This resolution does pot tend simply to
atqcnd that act which penalises the exaction
by superior officers from the official corps
pi the Government, but it teuds further to
inquire whether or not the offices of the
Government have been made the spoils of
party conquest ; whether or not when men
refused to use their time or their tnouey,
tiieir just sulury to promote the success ol a
given party, they were turned out ot office
aud eryo those who had used time and
money put lu their place. The allcgutiou is
distinct iu this resolution that 6uch things
were done : aud that they were doue I do
not prtsumc that any muu within the hear
ing of niy voice is disposed to doubt.
What is the meaning of this circular
signed by "Wiiliupi Maboue, chairman?"
\\ L at invent Um statements which were pub
lifg.d timing the lust fail on this subject in
which actually the bystem of decupitatiou
was so univciMil ami so prompt unci so sud
den that blanko hud to be kept iu order to
flil out the various writs of execution
against unhappy office-holders from the
Blute ol Virginia here in the Departments in
çase their places were wanted—wanted for
what? Wanted for political ends, became
if they did not prostitute them to those euds
other» w ere to be put iu their place.
Do X say anything that any man iu my
hearing doubts? 1 think not. If these be
evils, it is not because they were committed
during the last cauvass by one side or the
other. 1 do not mean to sny that if you
had the whole patronage of this Government
in the hards of the Democratic party
this evil might not have beeu as fully
committed. It was uot ho because they were
not in power. The question is whether or
not wc'shall combine to prevent this abuse,
whither or not this step in favor of Civil
Sei vice reform shall be taken, and whether
it shall be strengthened by the vote of both
parties.

I do not believe this needed Civil Service
reform stops ut the proposition of ray friend
from Kentucky, ulthough I esteem that
highly, as to the mere matter of official
economy. If we find that officials have so
much money to give to elections, their
saiarics should be shorn to legitimate re
quirements. That is a point worth con
sideriug^but far more iu>i>ortant than the
money, lar more important than the super
fluity of salary or the gross amount of the
salary, is the fact that you are using a pub
lic power for a party end, and that is not
safe.
Let there be an expression of popular dis
content with existing evils and then as the
expression oi approval or discontent shall
follow so représentative men will accommo
date themselves to the popular will. When
you are to take your official corps aud array
them in a vast machine for the purpose of
continuing power iu their party hands with
out regard to the changes of ' popular
opinion, then I say you have started
a dangerous element in your eouutry. Sen
ators, are there not to-day strong reasons
why you of the present majority in this
chamber, and you who at this moment have
control of all three branches of the Federal
Government and we who have control of
none—are there uot obvious, reasons why
this is an excellent opportunity for you to
joiu with us to prevent the discharge of men
for no other cause than for individual opin
ion and for the mere fact that they do not
subscribe to a party which may be against
their conscience or which may l>e against
their pecuniary interest?
It is on that aceouut that 1 hope there will
not be obstruction and I hope the Senator
from Maine will be content to enlarg« the
scope of this resolution if he thinks it to
-sided. I will vote with him to so
enlarge it if he thinks it properly should be,
but I trust he wiil not obstruct the passage
of this resolution by introducing one oi a
wholly different character which I think is
entirely aside. I do not mean to say it is
useless, hut I meun^o say that it is entirely
beside the obvious intent of the origiual
resolution.

reason for the iron mill shutting down is
given ns the dullness in that particular

engaged. The cotton mill wanted to make
a reduction of 11 per eei t. in wages during
the present depression in the market. The

The censure ol the chief justice and sym

Justice, and regard them as not only proper
