I*KK CENT. d*e7-8t URALR II «O. 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.

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. *ow let Llmt Ik! 1 where it will, let the i blame tail where it will, let the discovery | fall w here it w ill, let contribution faf » opf I rupt cud, privat»' pr public, be discovertd ln j the course of this Investigation, 1 care not. I 1 simply ask for it. I do not think that any | member ol the Senate ought to object to an I Investigation that shall set ou loot a beiter | state of tiling than that which by growth, | an aet bold llic bv gradual persistence and inheritance of abuse, if you please, has certainly brought a state of tilings to pass in which the official power of the Government, tl\e official sala ries of tho country, are considered legiti trolling the public mate influences in scutimeut of the country, if vou are to have the form of election without its substance ; if you are to have the nominal right to recall power, but to have that very power used to prevent its being recalled, then, I say to you, you have destroyed the freedom of election, which is our great safety, which tends to reform abuses in a peaceable manner, which creates a revolution without the sheddiug of a drop of blood, and you have in my judgment weakened the very geniuaaud mainspringof A meric Yesterday i ce r.t Sixtl) rlJ Madison streets and in lured h1& lnr so seriously that he hail to ht heit/ed to Ids borne by ii lends, -— _._ or Mrs. Grace.

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. NEW t fSTLE'S BAD LtCIi. r« r Hundred Mon Out of Employment Owing to the Shutting Dyk» of the Iliverside Works und the Triton .Mills. [Spécial correspondence of the Gazette.] Nirw Castle, Dec. 11.— Gloom is over New Castle owing te the fact that on Satur day two of the largest manufacturing places in the city elesed operations for an indefi nite period, thus throwing out ol employ ment at least iUO workingmen. The estab lishment^ closed are the Riverside Rolling Mill und the Triton Cotton Works. The reason for the iron mill shutting down is given ns the dullness in that particular branch of the iron trade in which it was engaged. The cotton mill wanted to make a reduction of 11 per eei t. in wages during the present depression in the market. The hands refused to aceept the reduction and struck, and it was deemed advisable to close in preference to paying the regular wage». Much excitement exist« among the laboring classes.

Entrance was effected through the back window which the tb loves had pried up with two chisels while standing in the alleyway In the rear of the building, and which runs from Fourth street between the buildings of Caulinello, the Italian, and R. R. Robin «fc Co. It is believed that the burglars reached their position in the alley under the forced window by means of C'atcitecllo's building instead of the alley-door, as both doors of his building were opeued, a coat was stolen front it, and on the floor were found two chisels. Goods te the value of $60 were stolen from Mr. Kuinford, and consist of three fur capes, a seal skin cape, two seal skin cups, too fur caps, a seul muff and a pair of gloves. hieli w discovered A FATAL ACCIDENT.
