CONKLING. Senator Conkling's First Speech in the Campaign. 11 ARRAIGNMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY. The Charge of Corruption Answered by Official Figures. A Forty Years' Record Reviewed. A TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT GRANT. Utica, Oct. S, 1870.* A large and enthusiastic Hayes and Wheeler meeting was held la this city this evening. There was an im mense attendance and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested. Senator Conkling was received with loud cncers. SPEKCR OP SENATOR CONKIJNO. Mr. CogKLiMi, in iho course of bis speech, said:? In so far as this greeting may bo porsouul to tne, I appreciate It very deeply and beg you all to receive my most gratelul acknowledgments. I lean never think of tbo contldenco and trust lor whicti, in tbe past and always, I am so much indebted to you, with out unfeigned regret that I havo been able to render no better ana worthier servico to tbc oouuly of Oneida and to the great Slate whose interests and bouor are so dear to us. I speak not of county or State, because tlioir interests are, or ought to be, sepuraie trorn the Inter ests el the country?they are not and cannot he sepa rate. We uro cttixeus ot one country, and that coun try is not a league ol counties or States, but a nation? a nation giticd with greater opportunities and bless ings than auy otuer nation in the world. its peculiar attribute is munilost in your preseuco hero to-uighi. Were we subjects ot any of the older governments?aid not the governing power rest wholly with tbe people; wore not all citizens equals in political rights?such an assem blage as this would never conveno. You couie hero because a general election approaches, because the will ol the minority is the supremo human power, and because oacli individual has just his proportionate share ol duty and control in governing tho wiiolo. This la a very high duly, deserving itrave attention, und 1 doctn It u privilege to discuss it bclorc you, provided ?>ou will uccopt as apology in advance lor my not leel ng able to Bpeak to you this cvomug a? satisfactorily us I would. The city, tho county, tho .Stale, iho nation, Is not prosperous now, or more truly spunking, is not so prosperous as in otbor times. This is true oi all the nations, or nourly all. Wo carry heavy burasus. Tho waste Mid destruction ol a four years' continental war has much diminished tbo wealth ol the whole peoplo A largo national debt presses ou certain classes ?( consumers and producers by exacting taxes io pay couslautly accruing interest. tiuto ind municipal indehttnents mako still more general exactions During and slice tho war Inflated currency, marking high and deceptive prices, Incited extravagant living, extravagant enter prise and extravagant speculation throughout all our borders When the day of reckoning and reaction came ruin fell on many, loss foil on all. Mow indus tries in general are depressed, labor flndu inadequate employment, trade la sluggish, money in millions piled ou millions lies idle and tiuinl in the bonks, and capi talists are afraid to invest or embark in enterprises because of tbe unsettled present and tho uncer tain future. Crops and productions hud insufficient markets In the Sou in, which should bo an inviting, sale and teeming Held lor both labor and capital, idle ness Is tho mother ot mischief, and deeds ot violence and blood attest a state ol things latoi to social or material prosperity. Instead ol rebuilding and becom ing sources ol wealth to the uution, raising its credit so as to lighten tbe rale ol interest it pays?instead of yleluing their share ol needed revenue, instead of swelling the tide of supply und, de mand by which markets are made, products and com modities exchanged, labor aud capital rewarded and prosperity Increased?instead of being nourishing fountains, tbo Gulf Slates are in some rusuecla drains; they suffer themselves, aud their condition causes stil tenng, anxiety and humiliation to the peoplo of every Blate. Such, in outline, are the public evils which now confront us. That tliey will all be cured by patting in power either of iho two parties Striving lor tbe mastery, of courso, I do not believe. Tho age ol miracles hits parsed away. There are no effects now without adequate causes. All these evils have their causes hero and tu the Old World; lliolr cure will have lla causes too. To discern and deal with iheso causes Is the olflco of intelligence und wisdom. W1IAT UCOISLATION CANNOT DO. Legislation sua uduunistratiou will noycr bring back tho men or the property destroyed by war nor change the hearts of tnou. Legisla tion and administration will never create wealth or pay debts or taxes. Statesmanship may do much, but all It can do is to clear the way ol impedimeula and dangers and leave every claas and every individual tree and sate in the exertions and pursuits ot lilet Wealth can never be coujurod out or the crucible ol pontics. W eahh must be hewed out of the forest, dug out of the earth, blasted out of tbo mine, pounded out on tho anvil, wrought out of the machine shop und tlio loom. But peace, order and liberty may ba guarded, public burdens may bo light ened, rainoaa issuea ol paper money, with tho spoilationi aud evils in their train, may be curbed, frugality may bo eniorced, the treasury and the public credit may bo delendeu and prc?er\td. iheso things depend largely on the election next month. The peo ple will then put Into power the purposes, tho theories aud the mou of one of two parties; und everyone should Inquiro earnestly which ot tho two is more likely to deal wisely wilh tlie serious problems of tho next fonr years. TIiir question may bo examined with out bitterness or malice. On the 26tb ol last June, the Governor of Ohio, speaking to bis assembled neighbors la reported to have uttered tbeso words:? There bad bean tee much bitterness on such occasions in ?ur cunntry. Lai u? aco to it iliut abuse or vituperation of She candidate that shall bo named at fit.Loulxdu not pro teed from uur lips. Let us ou this Centennial occasion, tills (ec ad century of our existence, set an example ol wtiai a free und intelligent nation ran do. Let us show all those wliosconie and visit us how the American people can con uuct themselves through it canvass of tb is sort. If It shall he in the spirit in n lucli we have met lieru to night; ll it shall be that Justness and talruess shall he in all I he dis cussions, It will commend tree institution* to tlie world iu a way in which they bate never been commended bolore. CAI.U1IXT AND RANCOR COXOBMKBD. The anlbor ol those words had Just boon nominated for tho Presidential ofllc*, aud with him lor tho accond place had been nominated an honored citizen of our own Hiata. Since then our oppouenta have named their candidates; onu is lite Govern >r ol New York, the other the Governor of Indiana. The Chief Mugisirates ol threo of the most populous and Intelligent States in America are thus presented to tbe suffragci of their couutryineu lor the moat exulted stations. Such an occurrence la uuueual, und It is made conspicuous by in historic epoch. The Republic boa reached lis ConleiinUI, and at Philadelphia pours out before tlm world its trophies ot civilization und progress. Not alone at Philadelphia, but throughout its domain, tho nation poses before Christendom. The country is on exhibition, with lis methods, its manners, us ideas, its suittiro, us stsndards ol thought, us attainments in dig nity and reason Calumny und rancor in public <'W suasions seem oat bf place and out of time, und II they prevail, pcruaps, the only consolation Is that they fail neuvlly on those wbo heretofore havo deemed nothing too violeut, too vulgar or too unjust to be said ol nion In public station, or of candidates, however blameless thsy might be. THS REPUBLICAN PARTT NOT CORRUPT. Democratic triumph now means that a majority of lho>-e to nold the seats of power shall be men who not aierely opposed the government in the war, but men who actually and openly loughl lor tlio rebellion. Of lours* the majorities must enme chiefly iroui tlie South, and thus tbo House ol Representatives and (he policy oi the country are to be given up lo those who recently stood on ibe battlefield arrayed against nr. Why should this bet What Is Iho pretext f Why, that the public service Is so lettering With wrong and corruption that tbo nation needs u Bavlour to scourge ihe thieve* from the temple. Did I bvltcve tins 1 would udmlt that no cure could bo much worse than the disease. 1 don't believe it; I know II to be false It Is not true tbai ibo republican party, having conducted ihe greatest war in modern times; hnving saved a republic whirh Is tho aaylum of the world; hnving, without taking life, liberty or ransom, forgiven every conquered loe; having administered liiiance, diplomacy and rovermneul with remarkable succors; having broken tb* (oilers or 4.0on,000 slaves; having solved Ihe problem whicb ballled our father* by inihedd ng hi iho constitution liberty and equality as the birthright ?f all; having inado busie lo acknowledge every obliga 4on, denying and repudiating none; having proved trustworthy in its custody of money beyond example, It Is not true thnt tho republican party, tho doer of all these things, with lis greatest captain at Its hea.l, (lauding among Hie graves ol lis martyrs and heroes, lud amid tho grandeur of Us achievements, has bred federal corruption In the very sunlight of lis triumphs :or humanity and civilization. No iluuht venality lias ixisled during General Grant's Presidency. It has el Bled under every President, not excepting W'ashlng nn. Tlio war, with Us great expenditures and the in Iniion of currency and prices, Incited speculative pas don and multiplied temptations und opportunities to make forbidden gaiu.

Much a condition of things nat jr 111 v led 'til tliougutful persons to expect au unusual prevalence ol uuluithfulness to trust, public and pri raie. I lie expectation has been no more than lal hied. Ills probably true that our country nod o?r .mica ? have not proven altogether excep tions to the rule exemplified in oiher couu irie* and in other times under like conditions OKXKRAI. DKMORAI.ir.A riox. Tbero havo becu during tboao years many exposures Of tffaud aed wrong.

They are gross exaggerations and libels on our country and our countrymeu. Here is a statement of these ch irges as understood abroad. 1 read Irom the l.on don Simulant, a champion ol monaichy, of course, and a disbeliever in republics:?'"Tho results of repub lican experiment in the United States aro the cor rupiion of public life, extinction ol public spirit, the oppression of the minority, the ulsgust of houorabie meu with politics, and the transfer of government into the hands ol corrupt, unscrupulous snd ignorant meu. FACTS AJID FIGURES. To Judge ol the act of those who have filled both hemispheres with these noxious rumors, let us look at the Treasury hooks and see whether oflleials have lately been mora or less houe-t thuu loruierly.

TUX DK?APLTXR8 UKFOIIE 1M30 Here Is a list of delaullers during thirty years pre vious to 180a Olio hundred and lorty names appear, and tho amount they look is $10,002,000. Several ol them appropriated hundreds ol thousands each. Iheso things happened in what ure now called purer, belter days Do they look aa 11 men or officials used to be always houosl? Do thsy look as If honesty has ebbed of late? Do they look as if rapacity, spoliation and plunder are ruvagtng tho public service? Do not suppose bygouo delinquen cies are .referred to as argument that crimes in the past excuse crimes now. Far Irom It. Such a thought is unworthy and stupid. No wroDg can be palliated because the same wrong bas been dono by others; hut the chargo is that olDcial depravity bas in creased ol late beyond anything kuown belore?that lust now we havo sunk lower than any of those who went belore ue. and the only way to test the truth Is to look at it squarely and sharply. Do you seo the allege I. corruption around your Arc the post offices in this oouuty managed by plunderers? Is there extravagant expendtiuro in them? Is tbe Collector of Iuieroal Revenue here n rogue, and do he or his deputies emtexzle aDd steal T Did you ovor know a caso of official dishenexty brought to the knowledge ol tho President on which he old not lay prompt und unapariug hand? Show mo such a case, and you will slow me something 1 never Beard ol. Tell mo of an administrallon or a political party more ready than tbe administration and the parly now in powor to eipoao and pumah iu own supporters for sup posed oflence* and you will point to a pago In American history 1 have never read. The air has been murky for yoars with vaporlegs shout the ebqcking demoralisation ol the administra tion and Congress, aud ibo extiavagance of appropria tions and expenditures. At lust we have a test and lesson in this regard which 1 beg you to lay to heart. Tbe present democratic llouso of Hepresenta lives cut down the appropriations at the late sisi-uu and now hundreds ol the very men, some 'with newspapers aud some without, who bave led tbe chorus of accusation heretofore have dts covered, aud assert with equal confidence and cite tho lacts to prove, that the appropriations where the dem ounts lound tusin were at tbe lowest notch, right and necessary and that the reductions wsro Unwise, unpatriotic and hurtful to the public interest. SSBMORS 13 STORKS. It has been said there are sermons in stones?there are eermone In the stones which have been burled at Grant and hi* administration; and when the passion ate discords and aelflan hates and rivalries ac? hollow dretention* ol to-day are dead, these atones will be Lathered to raise a monument to one of the truest, most tearless patriots who ever served his country, txtenusting no case of Iraud or crime and knowing with shame and sorrow that Individ uals holding official trusts bave been guilty of uneatable jobbery. I still sik whether the nation ia likely to profit by being given Into the keeping of thoee who in Held and forum nave beon on the bad sido In the vital trials or tho last twenty years? Is thorc nothing more deserving ol consideration than ths ttllby doings of alow disgraced individuals? Shall ws look at i ho docket of the police court to learn the movements of a Slate or ol a nation ? Shall we judge a community bv the plckpockete who Infest It? KKrXALIKG SPECIAL FATMSRTS. Iyook ost and soe what has been done now recently. The public credit bas been raised till we have nego tiated bonds bearing ouly four and a ball per cent luicrest to take the place of iboae which have exacted six percent. Herein a saving or l*wrM4 nnd taxes worth celebrating. Will the party which bas preached repudiation and inflation be likely to Improve on this? 1 raislative and administrative aciton has been tsken to make every dollar of paper ib tbe pockets ot ibo ncoulo as gwxl as gold wilhlB the next three years. The democrats voted against the act, denounced u and Hi the branch of Congress In which they had tho powor passed an set of repeal and botn their candi dates aud their platform indorse this action. Hill democratic ascendancy hasten specie payments and the restoration of bnstnesa on a solid, lasting basis? DF.MOCUAT8 SOLID OX BOUTIIiCRX CLAIMS. Southern olaims, estimated at upward ol $2 BOB BOB 000,000, nre coming Irom every region on which the Union army camped, or marched, nr (ought. I cannot remember a case in which Hie vole of a dem ocrat in Congress has been cast against a bill to pay a Southern war claim; as a rule such bills havo always recsivud ihe solid democratic vols, Many such claims, being within the law, get through both cot through which should not, and when the President discovers such a one he vetoes ft. Is a democratic President likely to veto such bills? Tbe Bomb demands thai $08,000,000 collected as a tax on cotton shall be paid bacx. They ask It In thirty voar bonds to bear five per cent (merest In gold, the principal and Interest ol which at the end of the time would amount to $170,000,000. They say cotton In a product ol tbe earth and should never bave been taxed. I petroleum is a product of tho earih too, of tbe Northorn ! earth, that waa taxed in all Its forms and stages, and nolmdy proposes to reiund the millions it paid. \ et bills aro pending to take the cotton tax out of the treasure and return It to the cotton Slates. Would you select a'democrstic President to veto such bills ? A House bill proposes to reiund the Southern portion ol tbe direct tax levied on all tbe Mates In isni, Tho Southern share was $2,500,000; the North paid $17 000,BOO. But no ono proposes to reimburse North ern States. How would a domocratlo President treat this matter? KxrrnucAK pkeds. In ten years toward $800,000,000 of the debt bas been paid, or nearly $80,000,000 a vear. The annual In terest has been reduced nearly $.70,000,000. Tho annual taxes havo been reduced $202,000,000 Since the war the annual expendiiurou where the democrats found them, have hoen riduccd $27,000,000 Do you bel.cve our opponents would hav# dono, or would do better than this? For niue inoniha they bad the power all the tlrao In the House of liepresentaltves to propose something. They reduced no tax, they did nothing to improve hard tunes, lliev cut oil appropriation* most of which ihey will put back in deficiency bill*; Ihey removod Union soldiers Irom little places, and ransacking tho whole government st home and abroad they I).led tho laftd with nomo about corruption, and found some Inatuncea In which men had betrayed their trusts and diagracsd themselves. . . . I have spoken of some of tbe things done snd to bo done. They are not resolutions or talk or high sound ing promise* They are deeds. XAtqUKRADIXO roll REFORM. Tbe republican party is not made up ol theorists or critics or professional reformers, or vainglorious pre tenders to supreme wisdom, lis task has boon with actual, difficult, vast affairs. It has made mistakes, and the wonder la, not that it has made so many, hut so low. Its counsels havo In the main been guided by earnestness und good faith. Time wlU vindicate IU The peoplo will vindicate it bv their votes. The oppo sition is mssquerading for reform, but It is the same parly, hostile in war snd wrong In peace?it Is the wolf, gaunt and hungry, the wolf wearing sheep's clothes. It seeks power, llrst by defaming lu country and exaggerating facta, and second, by holding out holies and expectations which politic-, however administered, rnti no more lulfll than medi cine can bestow eternal youth on man. Looking at all the facts, my faltb Is ibal the naltou Is saler to abide In the republican ship. Man is restless and discon tented at beat; when limes aro h.ird to change Is I ho natural impulao, but to jump from iho frying pan Into tho tiro is a change ax foolish as it is lanillisr.

Loops of black velvet and a natural wing garnished the frouu In tlowers there were clusters ol cardinal and tlusb roses, lormtng a sort ol nest. In which sits a shaded humming bird. Attached to Ihis nest of blo.'soms was a spray of lern leaves and touched piquets. Then there was a hall coronet of moss loaves, mixed with wild huckleberries and soil rosebuds.

Married women as touchers in tho public schools, now under consideration by a committee uf the Board of Education, la a timely move, and In reading your paper of the 1st Inst., relating an interview with Presi dent Wood, I fully concur with that gentleman in his opinion of ihe duties ol married women. 1 am fully couviuced irom my personal knowledge that if tho Board or Educallou does not prevent the eugagemoot ol married women, or require those who tuarry lo re ilnquisu their duties as teaqhers, we may have the chil dren acting as infant nursos some day as new they set as monitors, doorkeepers, thk-disirlbuturs und messen cars instead of attending to their studios, for which purpose thev are sent to school, and ar# expected by the parent and taxpayer to reap the bcnctlis of such schooling and not Ihe set of servant to a servant 0p the people. E. EM ELI Nr. JAMKS, formerly a pupil and loacheb NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY. The lecture rooms of this society, renowned for Its chromos ef turkeys and eagles, was well filled last night, the occasion being the reading of a paper on "Tbe Huguenot Element Among the Dutch," by Bov. Ashbel G. Ve mllye, D. D., of Schenectady. The paper rebeareed the history of tbe Huguenots In France, Holland and the United States, and was merely a condensation of all tbe accepted authorities boiled down ints tbe compass of a sort oi lecture, II tbe paper may be to termed. Tho latter part ol tbe roadlng, which dealt more particu larly with the Huguenot element among the Dutch of tbo New World, was entertaining; but tbe lectuier was most happy when he left the very wide lleld covered in bis title and treated of tbe lluguonot element In the American colonies. Tne consideration ol tho Hugue not element among the Freneb, which occupied tne first half ol the lecture, was also very entertaining. BOARD OF HEAl/TH.

Another Effort to Release the Twin Confidence Men. The Estate of a Deceased Austra lian Millionnaire. Decision by Judge lilatebford of Interrst to Distillers. THE FRENCH CLAIMANTS OF THE ML .ESTATE. Id January, 1972, Patrick Flannigan, being ember raised and unable to ineet bis demaudi, made a general assignment ol bis property, lor tbe brnutit of bis creditors, to Xbonias o'llrien. Flannigan was sub sequently adjudicated a bankrupt In tbo United Slates District Court Louis 11a.is, tbe assignoo in bank ruptcy, brought suit 10 recover tbe assets from tbe assignee for tbe benefit of the creditors. Tbo case was tried beloro David McAdam, as releroe, prior to bis elevation to tbo Mnrluc Court Bcncli, w ho lound that Flannigan, being cuibarrussed and unable to pay bia debts, and being a bankrupt within the meaning of tbe Bankruptcy act, did make a general assignment to O'lirton, under the laws of tbo atato ot New York, of all his property, consisting of a stock ol merchandise, lor tbobenelii of bis creditors, and tbui sucb assignment was drawn and pcriectod lu all things in strict cotnp lance witb iho laws of the State of New York; tbat tho assignee sold the property at auction sale and ui a lair market price, and tbul the assignee and bis ultortiuy, as well as tbe as?iguor: knew tbiu tbe ussiguor was a bankrupt within tbe meaning ol tbe bankruptcy act at tbe limo when the assignment was drawn and perfected. It was admitted that there was no iraud iu the matter ol tbe assignment and that tbo parties iberoto acted in good faiib. Tbe referee, sniong other things, found as conclusion ol law ihuL the gen eral assignment to O'Dnen was void under the bank ruptcy act and that It did lend to evade the provisions ol the act, and to prevent tbe assignor's property bo ing distributed under It, and ordered Judgmeut lor plaintiff, which judgment the General .Term ol the Superior Court atUrmod. Tbe case was carried to tbo Court of Appeals, which baa just rendered Its decision reversing tbo previous judgment, Judge Miller writing tbe opinion. JudgoMllier bolus that ailtiougb the referee found that tbe uasignnieul was void uudor tbe bankruptcy act, and that it did lond to evade the provisions ol the same and prevent tbe assignor's piopcrty from being distributed, there la no distinct hutting tbul tbe as signment was msde in direct contravention of tbe pro visions cited; and tbo fact that it was done to good laiib and without sny intention to violate or defeat tho provisions of ttie act, as already st ited, rebuts any presumption arising under tbo act that it was pniun facie fraudulent. And as tbe proof and admissions show good laiih the conclusion ibut tbo assignment was void aud did tend to evade tbo provisions ol the act docs not ipponr to be warranted. I be object and purposo of lbs act in question was to provide a system by which tbe properly of an Insolvent could be appropriated aud apnllod to tho payment of hi* dobta in equal and Just proportions. Tho theory upon which this bankrupt act is based is tbat no preferences shall be allowed; that every cred itor shall lie entitled to bis pro rata sbsro of tbe bankrupt'* estate, and thus fraud prevented In tbe distribution ol bis essots. Whet, therefore, an assign ment Is made for tbe boncUt ol all tbe creditors equally, in good falib, without fraud, or any intent lound to contravene any provisions ol the law, or to hiuder, delay or defraud creditors, it is not apparent bow sucb assignment can bo considered as a violation of the spirit and intention ot the set itaolf. "In Tll tany vs. Lucas. 15," "Wallace U. s. 8. U. H., 410 and 412," It was held that tw o things must concur to bring an assignment witbtn lb* prohibition ol tbe Bank ruptcy act, viz. the fraudulent design of tbo bankrupt, and the knowledge ol it on tho part of tbe assignoo. Neither of these features characterize the eu?o at bur. Tbe principle Is Milled In this Conrt that when the debtor has not becu proceeded against or taken any proceed ings >n the Bankrupt Court au assignment for the benefit ol creditors by an Insolvent debtor wblch gives no preference to any creditor is not an Instrument void per se as in hostility to tbo Bankruptcy act. Tbe feci mat proceedings were instituted within the six months provided lor by tho section cued does not Chang" the apphoutlon of the rule referred to, unices there Is the fraudulent deaign and knowledge. There are the strongest reasons lor holding that the act was not Intended to interfere with the debtor when, with honest pnrpoae and entire good faith, he sought to ap ply bis property for the benefit of lua creditors pre cisely in the same manner as was intended and as would bavo been done by proceed ings under the Bankruptcy act and probably at leas expense and far more to tbo advantage of tho creditors. Tbe act was aimed at fraud and to prevent preference, and where neither of these are ap parent there is no ground lor claiming tbat an equita ble distribution of the insolvent's estate is la violation of the Inw. Tbe cases referred to upheld tbeae vfews very decidedly, and should be followed. Tbe Court below erred in holding that tbe assignment was void ana tended to evade the provisions of ibe Bankruptcy act, and lor this error, wlthoutconaidorlng tbe other ques tions raised, the Judgment must bo reversed and a new trial granted with costs to abldo the event. Messrs. Jacob A. Gross and Francis C. Devlin appeared for appellant, and Messrs. Jacob h Koch and Samuel Hand for respondent. A STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY. In tbo case of George W. Loom Is and Thomas Lewis, familiarly known to the polico as the "twin confidence men," which, on appeal, has reached the Conrt of Apponls, on lest Monday, at the session of the Court, now being held in Albany, Mr. William F. Kintzing, tholr counsel, inado a tlu.il application lor ihoir dis charge from Stale l'rison. Tbe Court reserved Its de cision. AN AUSTRALIAN MILLIONNAIRE. Somewhere about the yonr 1810, when, If history spaaks truly, facilities for transportation wore abun dant In Ireland, n woman undor tho name of Eleanor Collins was transported from thence to the then penal colony In Australia. Witb her she in said to have car riod a son, then a mere child, and named Patrick Cody, sho claiming to bo married to a man of the samo name. In Australia sho subsequently tnnrriod a man named Buckley, Cody having died In the mean time, and an a mark of esteem for bis stepfather, tbo ?on added to bis name tbat of Buckley, and grew up thencoforth to be known an Patrick Cody Buckley. Undor this name be accumulated largo wealth In Aus tralia, and died a few years since, leaving an estate es timated at about ?200.000 sterling. Alter hit death two persons presented for probate what purported to be his Will In their laror. This will was coutoeted on the ground that it was a forgery and on* of the parties convicted of the offeuoe, tho other hav ing died In.prison before his trial was reached. Let ters of administration were then taken out on behalf ol creditors of tbo estate by a flrm of solicitors In Melbourne, end, slier paying all the debts, a still very large sum remained which tier Majesty's Attorney General claimed to bavo escheated to tbo Crown for want or heir*. These laeta coining to tbe knowledge of certain parties in Dublin, Ireland, claiming to he beira of tbe deceased, steps were taken to assert thgir claim as against the Crown. From Dublin proceed Intra were put In motion which led to Australia, aed from Australia the contestants have danced around tho globe to this city, where evidence Is now being taken before Mr. Klcbard Huntley ss commis sioner . appointed for that purpose by tbe supreme Court of Australia. The claim of tho heirs is resisted on tho part of the Crowu of Knglsnd on (he question of the legitimacy of Patrick Cody Buckley, u boing elalmod that F.leanor Collins was net married to Pat rick Cody nor did she carry a born child with hor to Australia at the time of her transportation. Iu preof ol this It is asserted that tbo passenger list or the transport ship Canada, on which she was carried to Australia, maoo no mention of sucb a child, un the contrary. It la on-erled that she whs at the time mci'nta by the jailer; that tho latter was dismi-scJ from office for the part bo took In the affair, and that this was tho child whose legitimacy Is in dlspoin. Thus the Crown puts the claimant* to proof ot the marriage of Eleanor Collins to Patrick Cody, and their consequent heirship to the eststo of Patriok Cody's alleged infant son, Patrick Cody Buckley, whose estate Is in litigation. On this question it is tint proof is being taken bniore the Commissioner, and thus far tbe testimony adduced seems to lend to establish tbe claim of the heirs. Tho h><tni are represented hereby Mr. Ooiavlnt O'Brien, solicitor of Dublin; claimants tn Australia by Mr. Frederick Stanley, of London, and the Attorney General of AuRtrslu, acting for the Crown, by Messrs. Hulllvsn, Kobbo & Fowler, of this city. IMPORTANT TO DISTILLERS.
