An Embezzlement Case.

In the Supreme Court, sitting at Dedham
the case of Henry \. Hooper l. Co., VS.. Chas
Wyman, was decided yesterday by the jury
finding for the plaintiffs in the year 1857
by the defendant, who was at that time anC
had been for many years previous, the firm:
confidential clerk No denial that the money
was taken was made by the defendant, who
conducted his own case. The taking was adj
mittcd but the defense set up was that il
view Of the statute of limitations the plain
tfs were not entitled to recover. Ht
also testified under oath that Mr.. Hoo
per knew of the defalcation in lS49.-
This the latter denied under oath. Judge
Mctcalf instructed the jury, that, if they
were satisfied oftwo things. namely. first thai
the defendant took the money, and secondly
that he fraudulently concealed the taking %
it, then the statute Of limitations did not ap
ply, and the defendant was liable for the
amount and interest. Boston HTald.

The Tariff.

just before going to press, we learn thai
the bill which majority of the Committee o.
Ways and Means voted, on Saturday, to re
port, is a bill to authorize the reissue of Trea
sury notes simply, not bill to amend the
Tariff act of 1857. The vote upon it was five
(Messrs Phelps, McClay, Letcher, powdell
and Crawford to four Messrs. Phillips
Morrill,, and the othcr two opposition members
who are on that committee.
An effort was made to obtain a vote in favor
of reporting the Tariff bill known As Mr.
Phelps's; but us its friends in the committe,
would not consent to permit that Of MIR. Nor
rill to be offered lin the House, as an amend
ment to it. the protectonists on the commit
tee refused to sanction the proposition to re
port it.
The Treasury-note bill will probably be re
ported sometime to-day or tomorrow, and
our belief is the House will amend it by the
addition of Tariff "rider. - Wash. Ha'

felt here to the probable action or non-action of
Congress the subject Of the tariff during the
remaining ten days of the session; and it is DEEM
cd scarcely possible for the two Houses to agree
upon any thing in so brief period, unless, as Is
suggested in some quarters. they fall back upon
the act of 1915 without alteration. The receipts
from customs yesterday amounted to $ll5,5ll.-
The exports of specie this week exceed million,
