THE PORT GANsEvOORT CASE.

We published yesterday the opinions of Mr..
Evarts and of Judge Allen. solicited by Con-
trOllcr Brennan on the Fort Ganesvoort case.
These able lawyers are agreed that the Con-
trol|er in refusing payment for that property to
its present holders rendered himself personally
liable, while, at the same time, they enter into
an examination Of the whole case and pro-
nounce upon the validity of the title and the
legality of the sale. Mr.. Eyarts, if our memory
serves as, has been heretofore engaged in this
Fort GanesyO0rt case az counsel on the part Of
the present owners, and hardly any other opinion
was 20 be expected Of him. Mr.. Brennan, We
presume, was no; aware of this fact or he would
hardly have asked Of him an opinion on the
point now involved We do not, Of course,
mean to throw any doubt upon the entire i'm
Partially Of Mr.. Eyarts, but having once been
engaged as counsel on that side, his argument
will carry less weight with the general public.
But these opinions of Mr.. Eyars and Judge
Allen are not, it seems, concurred in by all the
lawyers consulted. The Mayor has also asked
to be enlightened, and addressed bis inquiry 70
Judge Pierrepont. The answer is as follows:

ACES at s.. coo. The defense il that the arrest
was By order Of the President, aud an act OF
Congress passed in 1868 provides that eases IN
which that defense is get up shall be tined IN the
Circuit Courts The defense itself Is based on
the same statute-in other words, on United
States law. and is therefore case arising
under tho Constitution and laws OF the
United States, whereof the Circuit Courts have
Jurisdiction by tho terms Of the Constitution.
Judge Clerke, nevertheless. denied motion 70
transfer the action, on the curious ground that
the d ,lense-which he knew nothing about
could not be maintained; the act OF Congress
in question being msnfestiy unconstitutional.
lis brethren on the bench, Judges Leonard and
Sutherland, have properly robuked him for this
assumption, and ordered The case to be sent TO
the Circuit Court, to be tried on its merits. ii
there were any doubt about the proprety oil
leaving it TO the mercy Of q tribunal over which
Judge Clcrkc prcsidcs, the rancorous iii-tempcr
of his opinion ard his inexcusable procurement
of the matter in controversy are enough to
settle the question. He rs good as declares
