MIsTAKIFG HIS AUTHoRTTY.-Last night a
teamstsr, named David Blair, attacked mar
keter named K. +. Trail, and undertook to take
from him lot Of harness, upon the ground that
the harness was Government property. Su-
peTIntendent Richards came up at the time lad
demanded the teamster's authority to take the
harness. The teamster did not show the au-
thority, but proposed to do so when he got near
light Officer Draine came up and took him
to the Third ward station. This morning he
told Justice Thompson that he though he had
right to take Government harness when he
found ft IN wrong hands, and he thought this
was Government harness. Justice Thompson
dismissed him on the ground that he, Blair, had
been told by his wagon master to look out for
Government harness, ,andacted under the wrong
impression that this was harness he was d.
rected to look after, and he had right to take
it wherever he saw it,

trial on Tuesday last in the u s. Circuit Uourt,
New York, Judge Shirman presiding. James
Norris, the principal, plead guilty on the Sat-
urday preceding. Marvin and Rogerson stood

were convicted in about five minutes after the
case was given to the jury The comments OF
the New York Detectives were highly compIi.
mentary to the Washington Detectives en-
pioyed as also the daily New York journals,
publishing the account of the trial.
The charge upon which Rogerson and Mar
vim were tried was Of being engaged in the
manufacture Of counterfeit United States frac-
tonal currency. Detective j. E W. ClarvOe
was the principal witness against the prison.
ers. He testified that he procured an introduc-
uon to Marvin and Rogerson through Norris,
and that he made a proposal to buy press,
ink, plates, and other materials necessary to
manufacture counterfeit fractional currency
from them, and was to pay IS, 900 for the arti-
cles. The detective then called at house In
Port Jeryis, n. Y, when the articles were fur
nished, with full instructions how tc use them,
and one OF the prisoners worked of q specimen
note to show how well the plates were made
Clarvoe declined to pay the money until the
articles were. put in 8 trunk, placed in the
hands OF the railroad officials, and q check pro.
cured for the same. The prisoners acceded to
the proposition, and the whole party was ar
rested by the United States detectives. Clar.
wee was arrested with the others, and con-
cealsd his true character as q detective until
the parties were brought before the solicitor OF
the United States Treasury in Washington.
Since the arrest of these, other parties have
been arrested by the same officers, and are
held In heayy bail for trial, or are in prison.
