The New York Herald says in its money

The New York Herald says in its money
article of Aug. II:
"The imports of coin at the port from
foreign ports last week amounted to $780,
IO2. making total Of 4,673, 364 aimee the
LIST of January. The fact that the treasu-
ry reserve of coin has been largely re-
duced and that the government will have
to 6isburse Eve millions in payment of in
terest on the public debt in September,
twenty-five millions in November aud
thirty-three millions in Januarysis OF it.
se,f calculated to advance the premium,
added to which we have a largely reduced
supply in the country at large, owing to the
export Of more than sixty-twO millions OF
specie and bullion from this port since the
lst of January, while our exports fall very
far below our foreign imports"
On the day the above was written gold
opened at 1475, advanced to 1871, and
closed at 1859. Yesterday it declined 20
1875. These facts seem 10 show that spe-
culators had more to do with the recent adj
vance than a scarcity or probable scarcity
of gold.
The New York Post Of the afternoon OF
the 18th inst says in regard to the de-
crease of over Ss,OOO,0OO in deposits, az
shown by the bank statement 4:
'The large loss ia the item Of depOsitssis
accounted Cor BY drafts from the interior,
usual at this season, for moving the crops.
1t is expected that these drafts will siead-
lily increase, and it rs therefore improbable
that we shall see return this year OF the
late extreme ease. There Is more activity
in money, and we hear Of banks calling IN
loans at to put oat again At 4 per cent
The latter is not the uniform rate, how
ever, some houses yet being supplied at 3
per cent. The prospect is that the de-
r1and for currency from the West will be
much larger than has been anticipated"

Arrogant InrOad Upon Legality
The HIgheOckaIOrum of the Police
Court Under Trial.
How Are YOu My Court?

How Are YOu My COurt2
Yesterday at 2 o'clock Commissioners
Sparkling was arraigned before Justices viii
kinson, Brien and Bush, upon charge OF
official oppression. The courtroom of the
former Magistrate being incapable of hold
ing the large crowd, the trial was trans
ferred to che Circuit Court room, in the
Courthouse. The room was denseiy
crowded and the greatest interest mani
tested. A large number of the most promi-
nent gentlemen of the Nashville Bar were
present. The case was argued by William
G. Brien, Esq, Col. A. S. Colyar, Judge
Guild and c. Scott. Symmes for the prose-
cution and by General Nancy, Messrs.
Peabody and Otis for the defense.
From the testimony il appeared that
Mr.. Newton, an attorney, was employed to
defend man before Commissioned Spar
ling, upon charge Of assault and battery
that he in company with his client, re-
paired to the ante-room before the court
was opened that the:prosecutor had agreed
to dismiss the case and pay the cost; that
Mr.. Newton approached Sparkling, laid has
hand on his arm to attract his attention
that Sparkling brushed his coat with his hand
and objected TO such familiarities; that
Mr.. Newton replied che would not be in
suited; that Sparkling inquired what he
said, aud Newton said that as Sparkling was
surrounded by his police he would see
him again he was as good man as Spar
ling, and would not submit to insult. Spar
ling replied he did not intend to insult
him. Nothing more passed till the case OF
Newlon's client was called. Then Newton
rose from his seat and said that he wished
to make suggestion to the conrt. Spar
ling reioined, ''Get OUT will not permit
you 10 practice in MY court. Newton then
told his client that he would obtain the as
distance Of a lawyer, and left the court
room. While he was gone his client vas
tried, convicted and fined AeIt his ciieni
afterward called on him and offered TO pay
his fee, which he declined. The de
tense sought to show that Mr.. New
ton had been on another occasion
Intoxicated and become involved in per
sonal difficulties that on this morning he
wss intoxicated; that he had not paid his
internal revenue tax, and that the Com
missioner had not collected his fine. Mt.
Newton Febutted the testi mony 40 far a
his intOxicaiiOn was concerned, and thi
concluded the testimony
VIM. @. Brien, Esq., opened the aTgu
ment, showing from the Constitution Of
the sUnited States that tiIs defendant, ar
rested for an 0fiense against the laws, ha
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-08-21

the right to select his own counsel, and
was entitled to the assistance Of that coun-
sci. No court could deprive the client Of
that right; that the Commissioner had
| done so. He then read the section Of the
Code defining official oppression, and
showed that the facts Of this cause brought
it within the statute. He referred 10 the
internal revenue law, and maintained that
defendant, Sparkling, could not now avail
himself OF that regulation in extenu-
alton OF ms conduct. He showed
from decision Of the Supreme
Court the mode Of striking an attorney
from the rolls, none Of which had been
complied with in this cause. He main
tanned that TO constitute official oppres-
sion It was not necessary that Mr.. Newton
should be stricken from the rolls by Com
missioner Sparkling. Was he deprived of
his right to appear before that court, or
was his client deprived of the benefit of
counsel If either were true, the defendant
was guilty. lie then referred to the con-
sequences which would follow from the ac-
qnittal OF the defendant. This would be-
come precedent-each Justice could ex-
pei all the lawyers, or such as he choose,
from his eourt-the same could be done in
courts OF record, in the Circuit, Chancery
and Supreme Courts, and no man could
have the assistance of counsel without the
permission of the Magistrates and Judges.
/. That these officers could abuse their power.
avenge their private wrongs and personal
Injuries upon the bench, crafty their
prejudices, give loose rein to their
passions under color of their offices. The
Judiciary were the sheet-anchor of safety
to the citizen they interpreted the acts Of
the Legislative and controlled the conduct
Of the Executive departments, and pro-
tected the people from the encroachments
Of both. Let the judicial ermine become
contaminated; let the stream of Justice be
polluted by passion and prejudice; let the
fundamental law Of the land be disregard
ed or violated with immunity, and we may
bid farewell to American liberty.
Such was the argument of Mr. Brien,
and such we believe to be the true light of
the subject. The futile efforts of Commits
sioner Sparlings counsel to exculpate him
from criminality, failed to substantiate
aught derogatory of Newton's character at
the time in question, and made very weak
argument in defense. That this officer has
been guilty of high misdemeanor in his
official conduct, we doubt not in the least.
With what pompousness he insults prac-
ticing attorney, who carries license from
the higher courts in his pockets; brushing
his linen and saying that he did not like
familiarity, and in the presence of the bar
and the people designates the Police Court
of the city of Nashville as my court this
we take it is full and complete explana-
ton of his one-Sided vieCs in dispensing
justice Q) heretofore.
The case was continued until P. NJ. to-
day, when it will be resumed.
