1t is said New York city has about thirty
five hundred lawyers doing business in its
courts They are divided into three classes,
according to age and experience. Among
those who have reaped renown and attained
a ripe old age, Charles O'COnnor and James
w. Gerard are mentioned as good types Of the
first class. They are ranked with such men
Of the past as William T. Brady, Francis
B. Cutting, William Curtis Noyes, Daniel
Lord, Nathaniel 3. Blount and Edward
Sanford; and Of the present. with William
NJ. Evarts, David Dudley Field, George
Ticknor Curtis and others, worthy of being
ranked with them. The individual incomes
of the lawyers embraced within the three
classes mentioned, is said to range from ten
thousand to two hundred thousand dollars
per annum. One would suppose from this
showing, that New York city is an FL
Dorado for lawyers, if not for those who
indulge in the luxuries Of law suits.

Provisions IN PARIs-Happening in at
Messrs. Gueble g. Nippert's yesterday, we
were much interested in the perusal OF q
Partisan newspaper, which the head Of the
house, resident in Paris, had forwarded to
his partner, Mr.. Nippert, by balloon. The
journal in question was only about the size
of sheet Of note paper, but was printed
in the smallest Of type and contained all the
current news of Paris on the date Of its
publication. The doubleleaded head Inca
of the war news reminded us greatly Of the
extras published here during the war, and
the thousand and one rumOrs about the
movements of troops were possibly equally as
reliable. But the most interesting item Of
all was the price current Of provisions, evil

Case Worked Up by james Brooks. Of
Philadelphfa.

A Former Brigadier Qeneral Arrested
fer Defrauding tho Governmens-The
Case Worked OPP by james Brooks, Of
Philadelphia.
THE Paper, Pittsburgh
Deputy United States Marshall II. g..
Clark, Of Jersey City, arrived in Pittsbnrg
Saturday, having in custody General John
Ramsey, very extensive wholesale to-
bacco dealer. General Ramsey is charged
with tobacco frauds, in the sale Of tobacco
not properly stamped. He has been an ex-
tensive shipper Of tobacco all through the
Western district. District Attorney Swope
fled bill against him for shipping to
Scranton and other points, tobacco, having
on the packages counterfeit stamps. Dur
ing the absence Of the District Attorney,
Ramsey was arrested and brought to this
city several weeks ago. Owing to his ex-
tersive acquaintance among army officers
in this vicinity, and the good character he
was able to furnish, he was permitted to
give bail and return to New York. But
from tho facts that came to light, it was
deemed best to arrest him again. 1t. 10 al
legged that he shipped ut the various points
in this district thirty seven barrels OF TO-
baccO containing counterfeit stamps.
The case was worked up by the celebrated
detective, James Brooks. of Philadelphia,
who will be here next February to testify,
when the case comes up for trial. Officer
Brooks alleged that he found in the tobacco
warehouse barrel of counterfeit stamps.
A memorandum sent by the officer to Dis
trict Attorney Swope states that Ramsey
was engaged in defrauding the government
in July last, and that two years ago he
started a younger brother, named William
A. Ramsey, in business, az a wholesale
dealer in Keyport, New Jersey. and that a
whole sloop load of tobacco was seized by
Collector Stem, of Mount Holly, New Jer-
sey. This case was settled in some manner
by the government. The officer alleged
that Ramsey was prepared for visit from
the United States officers, and an examin-
alton of his waste basket disclosed the fact
that he had recently destroyed the book of
entry, containing record of transactions
extending into August, 1870, and that a new
set of books from August had been used.
The prisoner is still in Jail, and it is not
yet known whether he will be bailed out.
He was an army officer of some note, and
was severely wounded at the battle Of Get
tySburg.
