fI..n NEW York, January4
In the U. s. District Court yesterday,
the Government called the case Of the
steamship Florida, libelled for attempting
To carry arms and munitions Of war to
the Cubans. Tho Jury trial waived the
evidence introduced In behalf of the
United States by Assistant District Attor.

until this p. NJ. s
Judge Benedict, sitting as tho Circuit
Judge ior this district, has rendered q dc.
cision on the motion in the case Of Rich
ard B. Caldwell, co.conspirator OF Samuel
7. Blackford and others In the notorious
drawback frauds, by means Of which the
Government has been robbed Of about
100000. Defendant Caldwell being In
dicted for bribing an officer Of the United
States, pleaded that the court was with.
out Jurisdiction TO try Him, because
he was brought into the jurisdiction
Of the United States from Canada upon
o charge OF forgery. By virtue Of tho
Ashbufton treaty the claim was that any
person extradicted for a particular offence
can he tried for that offence alone. Itwas
held by the Court that In caaes OF dis.
charging persons arrested in civil cases
because Of deceit practised to secure ar.
rest, do not apply In cases like the present.
That the prisoner Is within the jurisdic-
tion, by reason of section 0, OF the Execu.
tive Department, Of the Governments Of
the United States and Great Britain, and
that want OF good faith In resorting to ex-
tradition proceedings Is not the subject Of
Investigation In Court; but Of complaint
between the Governments, and that tho
prisoner was lawfully within the jurisdic.
lion oI the Court charged with crime
there committed, Is liable to be tried
therefor. Tho Judge vacated the plea
with leave TO plead not guilty.
Judge BlatChlord, In tile United States
District Court this morning, issued an In.
junction against the Boston, Hartford and
Eric Railroad Company, with an order TO
show cause why they should not be ad.
Judged bankrupt Tho order Is returna.

and especial privileges, and this profitable
business, arc ended. The property Is then
worth Just what II would be in the hands
of anybody who had no franchises
or privileges at all. The real estate has,
Of course, increased on Its original cost,
but the machinery, pipes, and fixtures
generally, by reason Of wear and tear,
rust, corrosion, and general deterioration
by use, some Of 1t for twenty years, are
not worth anything like first cost, even
supposing the same articles could not now
be bought cheaper and of better kind. If
the Gas Company gets an award of $780,
600 at the hands OF fair arbitration, we
should think they had made an admira.
BILE sale, from the current opinion as we
hear it expressed touching tho 'actual
value" Of this property under that 18th
section.
As it regards the Company's other
proposition, also, very properly rejected
by Council, We may refer to 1t again when
space permits more elaboration, but at
this time we only wish to say that strong
and just as tho Committees arguments
against 1t are, they omitted to mention one

other hand, who laughs the most heartily shall
be sole heir | order that neither the church
nor my hearse shall be hung with black cloth,
but that, on the day of my burial, the hearse
and church shall be decorated with flowers and
green boughs. Instead of the tolling of bells,
will have drums, fddles and flies. All musi-

AN INDICTMENT AGAINST uAleHr.

The editor of the Sierra Age, (Democratic) in
the issue of that paper next preceding the late
Democratic State Convention, presented the fol-
lowing indictment against Henry II. Haight, the
nominee of that party for Governor;
"That, throughout the war, lie ndorsed every
act of fanatcism subversive of freedom of speech
and the liberty of the press;
That, true to his ant-democratic instincts,
he called for troops to overawe the electors of
San Francisco when the necessity did not exist,
thus showing that he had no confidence in nor
respect for the rights of the people;
That in approving the Mercantile Library Lot
terry Act, he committed palpable and fragrant
violation of the Constitution which he had
sworn to protect and Defend thus proving him
self an unworthy and unsafe guardian of that
instrument;
That in drawing money from the public treas
ury, without authority of law or the consent of
the people, he was guilty of misdemeanor for
which he deserves to be impeached since to al
low the Chief Executive to transcend the limits
of the Constitution at his pleasure, is to break
down every barrier against fraud and corruption;
That, as Governor, he has approved eighteen
bills granting subsidies to railroads, thus prov
ing conclusively that he is in favor of taxing the
people for the benefit of corporations, and that
his pretended respect for the rights of taxpayers
is a mere sham
That, against the unanimous sentiment of the
Democratic party, he has favored Chinese immi-
grafton to our shores, thus evincing a willing
ness to degrade free white laborers of California
by forcing them into competition with the vile
paupers of Asia
That, in attempting to influence the Legislature
and Supreme Court, alternately as lobbyist and
dictator, he has dishonored his high Office and
brought scandal upon the Democratic party and
the people;
That, claiming the votes o: Democrats on par
ty grounds when he was a candidate, upon his
accession to Office he dsregarded his duty to the
party that elected him by appointing avowed
Republicans to high and lucrative offices that of
right belonged to Democrats, thus furnishing
ammunition to the enemy;
Finally, that by fraud, bribery and the cor
rupt use of his official patronage, he has sought
to prevent fair expression of the voice of the
party in the primary elections, and that this pre-
tended popular clamor for his denomination is a
sham, the chief actors in which are either recipi-
ents of his bounty or expect favors at his hands.
