At the opening of the Conrt of Oyer and Termi
ner yesterday morning, Judge Barrett on the
bench, a motion was made to admit Coroner Rich- !
ard Croker In wtiose case the Jury were dl- |
Tided, six being for conviction and an equal num
ber for acquittal?to bail.
District Attorney I'helps, In reply to the motion
made by Mr. Clinton, said:?The subject of the
trial Is so fresn in Your Honor's mind and all the
circumstances attending it as familiar as any .
atatemeiit I could make I do not think I have any- .
Uiing to say on the subject. I snail be content for
Your Honor to use your own discretion, however .
K may t>e exercised. >
Judge Barrett?1 am of opinion that the prisoner
la entitled to be admitted to bail. I am as clear
?bout that now as 1 was clear that be was not en
titled to ball on the previous occasion. My reasons J
are briefly theseIt was proved by the trial that, |
under no circumstances, was it in the nature of a
capital case. 1 felt bound to charge the Jury that, !
under no circumstances, could they And from the j
evidence a verdict of murder in the first degree, j
Tbat was one consideration. Another is that It
was a conflict?a serious conflict?of testimony as |
te whether the prisoner was guilty of murder in
tfee second degree. "fa grave was tbat conflict as
to cause an equal division of opinion among the
twelve very respectable and undoubtedly intelll- 1
gent men, and, as I was Informed, tbat those who I
were In lavor of a conviction lor murder in tne |
?econd degree were willing, some of them for the
purpose or obtaining a verdict and inducing their
brethren who were for a verdict of not guilty to !
meet tbem, to reduce tbetr verdict to manslaughter ,
in the third decree, not, I am bound to sjy, as |
an original convictum, but a* a meaus of recon- i
ciilng differences and to bring aoout what we all :
desired?a final result. In a case wuere we all |
agree It was not muroer In the first degree, where j
there Is a grave conflict of testimony, where there
has been one trial?a lair, impartial trial, with an |
equal division ot opinion?I think the prisoner is
wltoln the legal rules which entitle him ai>so- 1
lately, in the exercise of a reasonable Judicial dls- !
cretion?not an arbitrary one?to be admitted 10
bail. Whatever my own opinion may 0? as to the
fact, I feel bound to say as a matter of legal right 1
the prisoner is entitled to bail. I think the sum ,
ought to be considerable?even large. 1 will sug
gest $15,000.
Jur. Clinton?That will be satisfactory to ns.

THE CASE OF CARL VOGT.
The public are familiar with the facts aad clr- !
camsunces of the case o( Carl Vogt, and it is un- |
necessary, on the present occasion, to repeat
tbem further than to say that, under a recent ;
treaty of extradition entered into between tne
United States and Belgtum, tne surrender of Vogt ;
la demanded by the Belgian government on a
charge that be had killed and roobed the Count de
Bo is de Blanca at Brussels, and afterward set lire
to the apartment in which the body of the mur- ;
dered man lay for the purpose oi destroying all
avidence of the crime. The German government,
of which Vogt Is a subject, demanded his surren
der from the United States on the ground that,
though the accused committed the offence in Del
fium, the German authorities had a right to follow
im all over tne world and tiring him back to be
tried in Germany for a crirno charged to have been
committed in another country; but the State De
partment, basing its act.on on the opinion of the
Attorney General, refused to accede to this rather
arrogant demand of Germany. The prisoner was
discharged lrom custody, but was nuosequeutly
arrested on a civil suit instituted against bim in
ttie State Court. Yesterday the prisoner was
biought up lor examination before commissioner
White. By an understanding bet ween counsel on
both sides the case went over till Wednesday.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Washington, Dec. 14, 1874.
The United States Supreme Court to-day ren
dered the following decisions:?
No. 460. Cannon vs. The City of New Orleans?
i Error to the Supreme Court ol Louisiana.?lu tnis
case the Court holds that the ordinance of the city
oi New Orleans, imposing levee dues on vessels
wi.lcli stop at the wharves oi the city or moor lu
the waters of the Mississippi River, within the
city limits, is not a compensation lor the use of
the wharves, but a tax upon such vessels for
the privilege of lauding or mooring, and
thus viewed, as the assessment of the tax ts
' measured by the tonnage oi vessels. It falls directly
I wuhin that clause of the constitution prohibiting
a state from laying suih a duty without the cou
1 sent of Congress. It Is conceded that a uiuniel
I pallty, building wharves and piers ror the use of
commerce, may properly require some compensa
' Hon iroin vessels using them; out It Is said tliat
In so doing caie Bhouid be taken not to go beyoud
I the sphere of State authority as limited by the
federal constitution. Reversed. Mr. Justice Mil
kier delivered the opinion. in
No. 334. Tue United (states vs. VlHalonga?Ap
! peal fioui tne Court of Claims.?In this case it is
held mat a factor who received cotton and made
auvances upon it was not thereby constituted the
owner of the property in such a sense as to enable
niui to recover the proceeds out oi the lreasury
under the Capture." and Abandoned Propeity act,
for. it is said, 11 he were so regarded, through him
a? their agent, disloyal owners might recover such
Dioceeds and thus evade the act oi Congress giv
ing the right of action, which specially provided
airatust recovery by any one who had given aid
and comiort to the rebellion. Reversed. Mr.
Justice Strong delivered tue opinion.
No. 61. Grand lower Mining, Manufacturing and
Transportation Company vs. rhlllips et al.?Error
to the Oircjlt Court lor the Southern District or
Illinois.?This was an action by the dereudants
here to recover lor a breach oi contract for tne
transportation of coal, and the main issue was
whether the plalntifls had provided barges as
alleged for the transportation, which was not re
uuired, because the mining company did uot de
liver coal according to contract. This Court agrees
with tne verdict lound lor tne plamtius on this
issue, but reverses tue judgment became oi errors
in the admission of evidence, which probably
affected the amount of the verdict lu the case,
opinion by Mr. Justice Bradley.
No 77. Florida Railroad Company vs. Smith and
Latrobe? Error to tue Circuit Court lor the
Northern District or Florula.-The Court reversed
tne judgment in this action, which was brought
to recover compensation !or til? balding of a ra.l
I road bnuge, holding that the deicuC^ *e? "P "J*
the trial, that the work was defective ubu luv
, structure not according to contract, was sustained
by the evidence. It Is incideutally hela that the
use of a bridge by the railroad company in sucn a
case without specific objection does not waive the
I ught to mai;e Bucn objectlou a defence where the
company constantly urged and declared that the
' structure was not such as was called lor by the
I contract. Mr. Justice Field delivered the opinion.
I No. 99. Springfield Fire insurauce Company vs.
Lea?Error to the Circuit Court for the Northern
i District of Illinois.?'l'uls was an action on a policy
oi insurance whicu coutained a provision that the
Drouerty insured must be in the absolute right of
the party taking tue policy, and the defence was
that the title in the case was merely a conditional
equitable one, and not absolute; and as the lact
was not stated iu the application there was such
a concealment as would vitiate the policy; also
tnat the conveyance of one of the houses insured,
without noilce to the company, had the effect to
release the company. Tins Court affirms tho
judgment beiow, that the insured had an in
surable interest, althou*n not the absolute
title and that the non-statement oi his interest
did not vitiate the policy, and that the objection as
to the conveyance could not be noticed here, be
cause it was not specific as to the house conveyed,
but general, and went to the avoidance of tue
whole policy. The Chief Justice delivered tue
OINo!?86. Lewis vs. Cocks?Appeal from the Circuit
Court for the District ol Louisiana.?In this case
tne court hold that merely a legal title is sought
to be eniorced. and although ttie objection was
now here taken in the case, it is nevertheless
noticed by the court and the cause remanded,
witn directions to dismiss the bill as uot sustain
able in equity. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the
I 0iM>!?48. The Rubber Tip Pencil Company vs. How
ard et aL?Appeal irom tue Circuit Court lor the
1 Southern DUttlct of New York?Tins was an ac
tion to recover lor an miringenient oi the patent
! for rubber heads to lead pencils. The court be
i low held that the invention was not patentable,
and the bill was dismissed. The decree is here al
firmed, tne Court remarking mat an idea is not
patentable, but a new device, ll made practically
1 uselul, is; that tne idea oi tne paieu>ee in this
I case was a good one, bur. his device for putting it
l luto effect, though uselul, was not new, and
hence be took nothing by his patent. The Chief
I Justice delivered the opinion.
> No. 32. Watson vs. Bonduront? Error to the Clr
1 cult Court for the District of Louisiana.?In this
case the Court holds that the law oi Louisiana re
quires actual seizure oi property to be sold by tne
j suet iff under ileri facias, and that where the seiz
ure was by notice thereof posted lu the court
1 house it was insufficient and no title passed to
I tne pure'aser at tne sale, aud tuls notwithstand
I ing the fact tnat the defendant in tne proceeding
wa~> at tue court house aud saw the notice. Re
versed. Mr. Justice Bradley delivered the opinion.
No. 96. Oreen et al. vs. Green et a!.?Appeal irom

JUSTICE IN JERSEY.
Prisoners' Doomiday In Euex Coanty.
Yesterday was doomsday for tbe convicts proven
sucb daring tbe tail term of tbe Essex County (N.
J.) Conns, and a number of very important cases
were disposed of. as usual on aentence day tbe
courtroom waa crowded wltb tbe frienda and ac
quaintances of tbe prlaonera, besides a large
number of tbe morbidly curious. Tbe most lm
portant cases disposed of were tbose of Loula 0.
Wairabe, alias Louis Meyer, tbe notorious Orange
Mountain burglar; Riohard Barrett, his alleged
accomplice ; James R. Gilmore, wbo, under tbe
nom de plume of "Bdmnnd Klrke," wrote "Among
tbe Fines," "Tbe Life of Jesus" and other literary
works; and Jamea Conroy, tbe assailant of An
thony J. Comstock, of tbe United states Postal
Department. First, after tbe disposition of a
batcb of minor County Jail cases, came tbat of
"dick" barrbtt.
This man, wbo is confessedly a bad man and has
a very unsavory appearance, was indicted, tried
and convicted lor being an accomplice of Louis 0,
Wallabe, tbe Orange Mountain burglar. Tbe con
viction was on five Indictments. Subsequent to
Barrett's trial and conviction anotner alleged ac
complice was pnt upon trial, a young man named
MeCariagber. McCarragber got clear by tbe "skin
or his teeth," and, as is believed, tbe use of some
money, whicb opened tne eyes of Jersey justice
so as to And testimony said to be
lost, but which, when lound, fully exon
erated McCarragber. It was then established
that Wairabe, who had turned State's evidence in
the hope of having his sentence cut down low,
had borne lalse wituess against both Mccarrasrher
and Barrett. The latter on his trial stoutly pro
tested bis innocence, pleaded bis own case, out
the testimony of Wairabe was positive, and Bar
rett waa convicted in a lew mlnntes. Yesterday
counsellor M. H. Kenny, on behalf of Barrett,
moved for a new trial oa the ground of his not
having been convicted on legal evidence. Tbe
counsellor produced testimony satisfactory to the
Court tbat Wairabe bad perjured himself twice?
In the McCarragber case and in swearing that he
bad never been In State Prison, when he had, as
Louis Meyer, for counterleitlng. It was charged,
too, tbat Wairabe was governed by malice in his
testimony against Barrett. With much effect tne
counsellor begged for mercy, Quoting Portia's
famous appeal, "The quality of mercy is not
strained," Ac. After deliberation tbe court said
it was satisfied Wairabe was not a witness in
whom any confidence could be placed, but was
satisfied with the corroborative evidence in the
'1'erwilieger case against Barrett, and on this in
dictment reiused to grant a new trial, but would
In tbe other lour cases. On this case be was sen
tenced to five years in State Frlson. According to
counsel, the only corroborative evidence against
Barrett is tbe Ondlng in hlB possession of a small
case used by shoemakers to keep their awls. Bar
rett accounted lor the possession of this by saying
Wairabe gave It to mm in payment oi a small
debt.
WALRiBB'S CASE
was next called. The prisoner, who Is an ill-fa
vored featured person, of short, thickset, un
gaiuly lorin, plead guilty to the cuarge oi being
chiefly concerned in a long series of burglaries in
Essex county last summer?over thirty, as above
stated, he turned state's evidence, out proved a
hindrance and disgrace rather than a help to jus
tice. Addressing him yesterday, the Court said
he was not deserving ol clemensy in consequeuoe
oi bavmg deceived the Court instead of assisting
it. Tne court, therefore, imposed on him tbe sen
tence of
TWBNTT TEARS IN STATE PRISON.
Walrabe's case disposed oi tbe Court next called
that of James R. Uilinore (Edmund Klrke), wbo
was tried on three indictments for obtaining
money on false pretences irom several persons m
tbe sale ol certain parcels of real estate. On two
be was lound guilty and on the tluru acquitted.
He was let off with a tine of $200 and costs, the
Court remarking tbat a petition, signed by promi
nent citizens, bad been presented to it, praying
that sentence ot imprisonment be not imposed.
He was warned not to come before the Court
again,
THB CASH OF CONROY
was next called. Conroy bad been engaged UBing
the United states mails lor the distribution ol ob
scene literature. Comstock arrested hi in in New
ark one Saturday last iall. On tbe way to tbe jail
Conioy pulled out a knife and murderously as
saulted Comstock, lnflictinor a wound which it was
first tbougnt was latal. Conroy was ludicted,
lound guilty and sentenced to pay a fine ol J&oo
and to be Imprisoned lor two years at bard labor
in tbe State rrison.

CHAElT^r
Meeting of the Members of the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul.
The regular quarterly meeting or thQ Members
of tne society or St. Vincent de Paul was hell last
evening In the school house attached to St.
Patrick's Cathedral, in Mulberry street. Alter
reading the inmates or the previous meeting the
secretary went through the reports of the various
conferences and informed the members or their
contents. These reports gave detailed accounts
of the work done by tne members of the several
conferences in their respective districts and the
condition of each branch. The secretary
read a comparative statement of the work
done In the same quarter or last year
by the members of the society and
then took np the statement for the past year.
Dorms that period 2,807 families, containing 16,447
persons, were relieved by the members, 41,643
visits to the homes of suffering poor were made,
127 situations lor Indigent persons were pro
cured and a large number of sick people called
on. Tne society spent during the year $40,522,
and of that amoant $33,909 was laid out for lood,
luel and clutning. The balance was consumed In
the payment or rent, funeral expenses and medi
cines among the individual members, who are
almost entirely mechanics and hardworking
men. In personal weekly subscriptions $6,&72
were collected. The other resources ol the
society are obtained from the profits on lec
tures, lairs, contributions from charitable
persons and the contents ol the poor boxes in the
churches. Some thirty conferences, comprising a
membership ol over l,ooo, make up the society
Tne headquarters of each conference is at ti9
church in its locality and the pastor of the church
is the spiritual director. Every conference has a
president, whom it chooses, and who is confirmed
or otherwise as seems fit by the geneial directory
or presidents, which meets quarterly at the Cathe
dral. The society Is divided in the citv into thirty
conferences, but the head of the society is a Mr.
Baudln, who resides in Paris. Its objects are to
assist the worthy poor, and great care is taken
that tnose relieved are entirely worthy. When
application Is made for assistance two general vis
itors of the society examine into the claim
of the applicants. If they pronounce the
parties worthy of succor two regular
visitors are appointed to take charge of the case.
These men give what they deem necessary, beiug
careiui not to encourage pauperism or depend
ence upon them. Every effort is made to enable
the persons temporarily needy to regain a position
in which they could oecome again self-sustaining.
In the case or a lamuy, work is procured lor tho
man and the sick are watched over until they are
in good health. The names or those assisted are
never known to any but the visitors whose duty it
Is to call upon them, and no visitor calls at a house
unaccompanied. A short address was made to
the society last night by the Vicar General, wno is
the spiritual director or the society, lie urged the
members on to greater efforts in the luture, point
ing out to them the great value of their labor.
Kev. Father O'Reilly, of St. Mary's, followed the
Vicar General In a short address. He counselled
the society to look well after all the children that
csme in their way, and to do all In their power
to get tho children to school?"Any school," saia
Father O'Keilly, "rather than the streets." The
reverend gentleman said he noticed with pain
that all artisans In Mew York were foreigners.
Native burn young men were being sent by their
fathers into employments that were neither pay
ing nor permanent. Few dots or youths were
taught trades, and he showed very forcibly the
advantage of skilled labor over what is looked
upon by some people as more genteel empioy*
ment. Alter some remarks by Mr. James Lyncn,
the President of the society, the meeting was dis
missed and the presidents held their conference. ?
HOI A HOMICIDE.
Coroner Keisler yesterday afternoon held an
Inquest In the oaM of the late George Hunter, who
died at the Anthony Bouse, Broadway, nnder
somewhat suspicious circumstances, as previously
reported in the Hhmld.
Ann Small, ol Mo. loo East Thirteenth street,
deposed that on Saturday afternoon, the 6th inst.,
deceased, very much under the Influence of liquor,
ascended the stairs lending to her apartments,
muttering something, snd sue requested him to
go out; she turned to go away, and In a moment
afterward heard a loud noise, and, looking around,
saw deceased lying at the toot or the stairs; de*
ceased was taken away and placed in an unoo
ceased was taken up and carried outside; aiterward
cupted room in another bouse, where he lay till
seven o'clock in the evening; deceased was then
taken to his hotel, where he remained In a state
of unconsciousness till the following Monday
morning, wnen death ensued.
Deputy Coroner Leo, who made a careful autopsy
on the bouy, testified that death resuneii iroin
concussion oi the brain, wtitcn might, h ive been
produced oy a lail. auch was the verdict of the
lurv.
THE METHODIST MIHI8TER&
Tobacco Verim Christian Perfection?
Church KxtiBilos Rnterprlae*.
Tobacco and church extension were placed la
Juxtaposition yesterday before the Methodist
ministers at their weekly meeting. Dr. True read
an essay on the former topic, peculiarly adapted
to ministers. Besides the well-worn arguments
touching Ita nnhealthlneis and nncleannesa, It
contained many excellent suggestions drawn from
its effect upon the minds 01 publlo speakers and
writers. It destroys the logical faculties and
tends to make such men very superficial. The
pernicious eflbct which the habit baa on the younir,
who are so fond of imitation, and its hindrance to
growth in grace were made prominent reasons lor
breaking oir the use of the weed.
The Rev. Mr. corbitt, who is recognized aa the
champion ebewer, was unanimously called to re
spond to the essay. He did so and entered bla
solemn protest, tounded on mauy years' expe
rience. against tbe use ol tobacco in any form.
He did net leel called upon to sacrifice his lue in
tbe attempt to give up the habit himself; but if he
had his lue to live over again ho would not touch,
taste or handle it. These remarks, so unexpected
lrom such a quarter, were lecetved with ap
plause.
The church extension matter was presented by
Chaplain McCabe, who told his brethren that
within six years the Hoard nad built 1,409
churches? one-ibird as many as Home has in all
this land. They are not so large or so grand, to
be sure; but great men and good Christians
come lrom humble homes. Besides this,
through bis own eflorta mainly, a perma
nent loan rand bad been raised, whlcn now
amounted to nearly $760,000. And yet many of bis
brethren in the ministry give this cause the cold
shoulder. He deprecated the destructive criti
cisms which some of them make upon Its work
and hoped they would give It due prominence In
the luture. Dr. Curry added that the cause of this
lukewarmness toward the Hoard 01 Church Exten
sion arises lrom the lact that the Board reluses to
let the Church know In detail its operations. There
Is an impression abroad that a very large percent
age of tbe receipts goes to keep the machine mov
ing, and this impression is increased by the
Becrecy that prevails in the office. Chaplain
McCabe replied that the cost of running tbe ma
chiue'dld not exceed six or six a hall per cent,
and he knew a man in the central part of this
state who had the Impression that tho Missionary
Society cost filty per cent of the receipts to run It.
Instead ol that It costs but live per cent. The
Chaplain said that bis salary Is but $8,000 a year
and he finds his own house aud travels about
25,000 miles a year. Dr. Kynett's salary is $4, ouo
and he too finds his own house, and if any one
coveted either position they were both ready to
step out.
MAYOR VANOE AND TWEED.
Tbe document sent to Mayor Vance by tbe Com
missioners 01 Charities and Correction, in answer
to the allegation or favoritism shown to William
M. Tweed on Blackwell's Island, has not yet been

Mayor, and until that la completed be does not
propose to give out auy papers iu relation to the
