THIRD EDITION
The Trial Of General Baker.

WASHINGTON, January q. - The trial Of
Lafayette Baker before the Criminal Court has
developed some interesting facts In relation to
the detective system and pardon brokerage.
nit appears from the testimony Of Lieutenant
Hine, that in July last he was detailed by the
Assistant Secretary of War, and placed at the
disposal of Baker and directed to act under his
orders. He was introduced to Mrs. Cobb, the
plaintiff, as Captain Howell an ex-COnfederate
Captain, who was seeking for pardon.
+ She told him she had great facilities for getting
pardons but would not tell what influences she
had used. He drew up statement or petition
and signed il as Clarence j. Howell, and affixed
a spurious magistrates certificate. This he pre-
seuted to Mrs. Cobb who said anything could
be done with money. A contract was entered
into and the pardon was procured The money
paid to her had been marked, and this money was
afterwards found on her person and taken from
her. 1t was part of the money used to entrap
the pardon broker. r. .. ... ..
The witness acknowledged that he made false
statements to her.
During the proceedings Judge Hughes, as
counsel for Mrs. Cobb,lspok of the witness Howe
as "cocoDspirator with General Lafayette G.
Baker, and in order to break up legiti-
mate business, these selfconstituted guardians
of the honor of the Government induced this
lady to do the very thing they professed to be
anxious to break up.
Even thief cannot be convicted if money is
placed in his way by conspirators to entrap
him, and the conspirators are Justly exc
Grated; and now Baker and his cocoon
spirator, and a man who drew a false and
fraudulent paper, and acknowledged that it
was such, and who forged a magistrates
certificate, need not put on look of dignity and
talk to me. The days of bullying are past, and
the courts ofjustice are wide open, and oppres-
eocs and midnight robbers must come under the
law, and their deeds must be known and
spoken Of"
These remarks were followed by applause,
which was suppressed by the Court and the
Marshal was directed to clear the room if it was
repeated. .. ,..t .

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

SUPREME COURT AT NIsI PRIUs-In Equity
Jonn II. Smith, as well for himself as for such
holoers of the common and preferred capital
stock of the Catawissa Railroad Company, or
either of them, as, agreeing 10 contribute to the
expenses of TINS suit, may become parties
hereto. Complainant VS.. The Catawissa Rail-
road Company, defendant. .H.
This bill IN equity, filed by the complainant,
who is the owner and holder OF certain num-
Der OF shates of the preferred, and also of the
common capital stock of the Catawlssa Railroad
Company, and sets out the Incorporation OF the
Company and the construction and use OF ral-
way, commencing at Milton, in the State of Penn
svlvania, and terminating at its junction with
the Little Schuyikill Railroad, near Tamaqua,
and connecting at Milton with the railroad of
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company.
The bill also sets out the issuing OF the pre-
terred stock and of the common stock OF the
company, since the date of the issue of which
no dividend has been paid, except q dividend of
three per cent. declared and paid upon the pre-
tcrred stock In the year 1864.
That at meeting OF the stockholders of the
Company, held November Is, 1865, it was an
nounced that the Directors oil the Company, at
their last meeting, authorized the issue of scrip
for the arrearage due the preferred stock as Il
now stands bearing the same rate of interest,
and thas, in pursuance of such authority, the
Company has given public notice that the certl-
fcates OF scrip viii be issued on February l.
The complainant then AYERS that the dividend
so declared is not out of the first earned profits
oil the company; he being informed and believing
that the company has no. made sufficient earn
1ngs in the past year, or in any year therefore,
TO warrant them m declaring such dividend,
or in issuing scrip for the arrearages due the
preferred stock as it now stands; and charges
that 1t is unlawful, and by its issue he, as a
holder OF the common stock, will not be entitled
to receive any interest or dividend thereupon
until the scrip so issued shall receive proper
tionate part of said earnings.
The complainant therefore, asks that it may
be decreed that the company have no right TO
issue this scrip aforesaid, until the earnings OF
the company will warrant, and for o special
injunction till hearing restraining the defendant
preferred stock, until the same shall have been
earned.g
The case for the complainant was opened by
William McMichael, Esq, and the question in
volved was very ably and forcibly presented.
W. Hayward Drayton, ESQ.,, and F. W. Hughes,
Esq, appear for the defendants.
