of the statue may appear Interesting.
About three years ago Mr. Richard Schell, ol this

of the lata William II. Seward, Seoretary of State. Mr.
Randolph Rogers, the cmlnont sculptor, was at that
time tn the city, and with him Mr. Schell conferred as
to toe cost of such a work. Mr. Schell next consulted
with Messrs. George J. Forrest, Lawronco W. Joromo,
Thurlow Weed, E. D. Morgan and Hugh J. Hastings as
to the practicability of the ides, and, as they all
heartily concurred in his views, It was decided to immediately
take the Initiatory steps toward the erection
of tbo statue. It having been ascertained that
it would he necessary to obtain $26,000 to com.

Dxscmi'Tiox oir tus status.
About two years ago Mr. Rogers was sent for at bis
Studio at Rome, and he repaired to this country to aet
shout his work. Since then the-time has been occupied
in modelling aud ousting the statue. It was cast
in bronze at the Royal Bronze Foundry at Munich,
and thence conveyed to Hamburg, from where it was
shipped per steamer to Mew York, where it arrived
about three weeks ago. Mr. Rogers has given great
care to his efforts on this work, and It will probably
add to the list of bis beat achievements. The statue
represents Mr. (toward sitting m bis usual attitude,
with bis rigbt leg thrown over his lctt, slightly turned
In bis chair toward the loll. In hie left hand he holds a
document, as if be had Just been writing, and bis right
bund, in which ho holds ibe pen, has fallen to his aid*.
He is apparently in a pensive mood, as it thinking
ol what bo bus been writing or is about to write.
His cloak Is thrown loosely over the back ol tbe chair,
and this relieves tne stillness ot tbo figure. Several
bioks are placed undor the cbslr. with a
scroll on top. The height of tbe figure while
Billing is ten loot, and If staiming would be thirteen
leeu Tbe base ol the pedestal Is composed ol Mow
England granite, and tbo upper part of beuuttful variegated
morula from Spazzia, a town situated between
Uenos and Lcghoru. On the laoe of tbe pedestal is tbe
inscription:?

^Tlie entire structure la twenty feet bigb, and its ;

K tone of voice, and largely Inaudible to his auditors,
occupied about an hour and n quarter, and although
the ruin came dowu in occasional spurts, Mr. Kvarts,
nothing daunted, went bravely on. He began by say

It was probably the greatest achievement in the history
ot the country to maintain the government
through tbe struggles ol the great war without compromise
or concession, and to coullrm, after the great
trial was over, that absolute peace, and ho might evon
say delerence, which was now paid to them by the
nations ot the world. Others might think this achievement
easy, bat yet It was never done belore. Mr.
Evarts showed how delicately Mr. Seward ateered the
country through tbe dangers ot a war with England,
while yet maintaining Independence and glory, and
In tho surrender ol Mason and Slidell, In spite of tbe
Indignant sentiment of this country, he taaght England
that true principle of Justice must govern international
relations, and he made hla countrymen see
that when it waa good to do right is was still bettor
when the right was necossary.
SRWARO'S DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPHS.
He oxpelled the French Irom Mexico without a
soldier, with only his pen, and he would have even
saved tho life or Maximilian it the Mexican people
could have forgiven the crime of invasion ol their
land. He effoctually thwarted the attempt of every
European nation to get any ground for reoognising tbe
rebellion or lor interieronce wnh our own government,
and then, when ovf triumph was complete, be,
by his great foroo?*t, removed our great grievance
against Kng>and, lost through a continuance of this
grievance there might grow up an eetraugement between
two nations of the same blood and apeuking tbe
same tongue, and Introduced arbitration for tbe settlement
of what, If not settled, would buvo ended In war.

what Is known as an earth closet. Of
this sort of advertising tbo Richmond Enquirer
Company gave over $100 worth lor lbs benefit
ef the Wakefield Karth Closet Company, which sum
tbo latter failed to pay, and the result was a suit In the
Marine Court in tbis city Tor the recovery of Uie

State a motion was made on behnll of the defendant ,
to compel plaintiff 10 file security lor costs oi suit.

that If the $10 costs wrns permitted to stand

Id the suit of Tlgho vs. O'Conder, gave yesterday belore
Judge Weslbrook a clear explanation of bis connection

"OARIBALDl" BRlfT TO THR PRMITRNT1ART. I
This ooun was again erowded yesterday morning, U

"Oaribaldl," and Annie Smith, who were convicted on 1
the day preceding of keeping a disorderly establishment
at No. SO Weat fourth street, weald he bronght

op for mdIiim The prleonera occupied their eeeeelomed
place*, and ot course attracted coualderable attention.
When Uocordcr Hackett look nia aeat on the
beech Mr. A. Oakejr Hall mured lor an arrest of Judgment.
aubmiuing that the Coert bad erred In au>taming
the demurrer of Assistant Oiatrlct Attorney Hell te
his plea In abatement on the alia* dtclua and for a new
trial on the ground that tbe evidence moat abow that
the offence, If any, waa against public decency;
wbercne It ehowed that the prlaonere did aot keep a
disorderly houae end had not committed a nuiennee;
and further, that tba proaecution, under the common
law, could not convict oi a statutory offence. inner
thpss circumitancea ha asked for an opportunity to
prepare a bill of axeaptiana.
Recorder Haokolt denied the motion* and remarked
that ba bettered bla rulings were quite correct and
that he bad lully explained to the jury the law bearing
on the case and apon which the prisoners were conrlcied.
Assistant District Attorney Ball then moved for
sentence.
tir. Hall asked that the sentence might be mitigated.
The nialo prisoner, he said, wag thorough man and
bad shown fcts manliness by expressing a desire to
bear ull lbs punishment himself, in order ttiat tbs woman
might be set free. The prisoner, Jean Rernaechottl,
was a foreigner. Ills education was different
from that ol the Anglo-Saxon race, not being exactly
so moral
Kccorder Hack el t. In passing sentoncs, sad that no
eaRe that had ever eomo under his observation bad
revealed such disgusting details, and he sincerely
hoped it would never bo his fato to honr such another.
Any m?n who wnuld witness and thereby encourage
such revolting exhibitions as had been described
ought to bo sent to the State Prison Inr a term of ten
years. When ho considered tlio horrible revelations
that had been made In ihis ease ho wondcrod that
the Almighty had not visited this city with the fate
ol Sodom and Gomorrah, in punishment of its sins
and Intqutllos. A good deal had be<-u sail about the
manliness ol the mnlo prisoner, but he thought that
any man who had cotnptllod young girls to commtt
tho outrageous indecencies which had been testified to
did not deservo to b? called a mnu. While be occupied
s seal on the bench he would do all that lay lu
bis power to suppress such immorality t>> inflicting
tue severest pun'sbmonl which tho Uw directed. If
in tho present esse it were In his power to mnko the
ponnlty ten tunes mora sevcra than iho Uw prescribed
he would Mtutcnca the prisoners lo every dnv ol II.
Tho sentence of the Court wns that tho prisoners bo
ounflticd in tho Penitentiary lor tho term of ono year
at hard labor, and that tboy he lined each In the'sum
or $260.
Immediately at the closo of the Recorder's remarks
Guribiildl'struck a highly dramatic attitude, and raising
his hands above his head, appeared to be almost
spece.tiless. After gazing around litcn he muttered
something in Italian, with a Irantlc look, and then
hm i'vo fell upon tho <romo beside bini and clasping
her In lux arms, ho rapturously kissed her, and wm
with difficulty removed, uu leaving mo conrt Garibaldi

Upon arr.ving fu this country he Immediately

GENERAL SESSIONS-PART 2.
Before Judge Gildcrsleeve.
BLLINO OBSCENE PHOTOORAFHS.
'Joseph Koehler was called to the bar, under an Indiotment
charging him with bavlug on the 28th of
Jnne, 1876, sold a certain lewd and lascivious picture,
Mr. John Corrcll was the first witness examined, lie
tealilled that on the day In question ho entered ttfc
stationery store of the prisoner, at No. 120 Chatham
street, under Instructions from Mr. Anthony Cornstock,
and tnquirod whether he had any "racy" photographs,
having been attracted by one exposed In the
window. The prisonor showed him some, but the witness
asked lor others of a "lunnier" description,
whereupon he look a few from underneath the counter,
and the witucas selected one, lor which he paid
flity cents, lie subsequently visited the prisoner's
store and purchased oc her pictures. The photographs
were exhibited to the Jury, and tho prusccutiou
closed. The prisoner was then examined, and testified
that he had kept a store In Chatham street tor three
years. Ho purchased a Job lot ol views about two
years since, among which were some of
those sold, Corrcll asked for photographs; 1
also for French playing cards; wiiuras
toid him he had none; he suw Correll several times,
but always Imormod him ityit bo bad noue of tho pictures
he desired to purchase; on one occasion a carpenter
was working in his store, and It waa necessary
to remove some boxea Irom underneath the counter;
one ol these, containing several of tho photographs he
had purcbaaed two years boloro, and which he had put
aside as unlit Tor sale, was placed In the show case;
Corroli came in, and opening the box said he wished to
purcbuRti some ol theiii; witness told him ho would not
sell them, hut was Dually persuaded by Corrcll to do
so, who puld him tweoly-Qvu cento each lor them.
Witness lurthor testilled that ho did not know that tho
pictures wore obscene, as be had seen similar ones lor
sale lu Dourly all stationers' stores ot the city; the
lows la question were mlxod up with others ol Greonwood
Coiiieierv and other nlscest when the olllcor
came to bis store with a search warrant bo handed him
the box. .
Mr. Comstock, the agent of tbo Society for the .Suppression
of Vice, was next examined, and statod that
on the day of the arrest the prisoner denied that be
had any obscene pictures in bis store, bjit that on
search being made tho box containing the photographs
was discovered under the counter.
Evidence was given of the prisoner's provions good
character.
JuJgi' Gtblorsleevo, In charging tho Jury, pointed
out tho law bearing oa tbe case and said tho question
to be determined wae whether tho prisoner had tbe
lewd and lascivious pictures In his possession lor the
purpose of soiling thent; but the main quesliou was
whulhsi It was obscene?a lewd, lascivious picturs,
calculated 10 excite in the minds of those Into whoso
hands it might come Immoral, corrupt and evil ideal,
lu determining whether it wis obscene the lost was 10
look at the picture and say whether Its tendency, in
Ihulr Judgment, was to create lewd Ideas Bnd corrupt
?nd deprave the minds o( persons open to such Impressions
nnd into whose hands It was likely to tall,
the jury retired and nfter sn abscnoo of nearly two
tours returned to court, being unable to agreo, and
arero accordingly discharged.
