ANOTHER CHAMPION OF PEIxoTTo.

NEW YORK, Oct. IS, 1872.
To THE EDITOR OF THE nERALD:-
Your Vienna correspondent seems either to be a
credulous individual or to have too little time to
spare to ascertain whether the rumors that reach
him are founded In fact or wholesale fabrications.
These thoughts naturally suggested themselves to
me on reading in the HERALD OF the 10th inst his
construction, or rather misconstruction, OF United
States Consul B. F. PeiXottos mission in ROumana.
Your correspondent says:-"lt Is further asserted
that Mr.. PetxOttO Is of the leading members OF
the societe Israelite Universee-a secret society,
presided over by one OF the Rothschilis, and with
headquarters at Paris. Well-informed persons in
piled with funds by the said society. How far these
allegations are true have no certain means OF
knowing"
Allow me, Mr.. Editor, through your valuable and
truth-loving journal, to tell your correspondent
that, If he had been ever so slightly acquainted
with Jewish affairs, he would not have given any

probably meant the "Alance Israelite Univer-
he the anee as again e
society" A report OF the proceedings of
that organization is published every year In
copies. But your Vienna correspondent has never
seen copy of those reports II he had he would
have found out that the Alliance is not presided
over by one OF the Rothschids, but by the cele
brated orator, statesman and phiianthropist,
Adolphe Cremieux. That Mr.. Peixotto is not
heavily supplied with funds by the "Alliancen Is
placed beyond doubt by the frequent appeals to
the charity OF the American Jews in his behalf II
the Alliance" took such good care OF Mr.. Peixotte
the New York Congregation Adas Jeshurum would
certainly not have contributed 81 $50 toward the
Roumanan fund on the last day OF Atonement.

correspondents writing shows how logical must

Carrying the Pistol for Car Thicvcs-A
Dangerous Weapon ConGscnted--Rec-
ommcndation by the Jury.
Coroner Schirmer yesterday morning held an
inquest in the case Of John Reilly, bartender, at
7e3 Third avenue, who was shot on Wednesday
morning full particulars OF which have heretofore
appeared in the HERALD. Owing to there being no
nre in any part Of the Coroners Office, and the
rooms being cold and cherries, the Coroner felt
compelled to take his jury and witnesses into the
Twenty-sixth precinct station house and conduct
his examination there. Bernard Gillie, the night
conductor on the Third Avenue Railroad, who cc
dentaly shot deceased, testified that he bought
the pistol from passenger on the cars for the
purpose Of protecting himself against vilanous
gang OF pckpockets whose operations he had in
for and be revenged on him ellis said Reilly was
one Of his best friends: the shooting he deplored
as much as any one could. ellis was unable to
account for the discharge or the weapon.
The pistol is known as a knucke pistol and Is
very dangerous, inasmuch as the handle OF the
hammer Is so short that it is liable to slip through
the rineers and be preInaturely discharged, as was
the case at the shooting OF Reilly. The makers
name is not on the pistol but on the frame work

several other witnesses showed that the occurrence
was purely accidental The matter was given to
the jury, who rendered the following
VERDICT.
"That John Reilly came to hts death by hem
orrhage from q pistol-shot wound OF the abdomen,

hands Of Bernard Gls, at 1893 Third avenue, on the

custody, and connscating his pistol directed Ser

in firearms will be warned against selling the

TIE JEWISH FEAST OF TADERsAcLEs.

It's Observance In This City and Else
where-Origin and Object OF the
Festival. eEH8 NH at3 t1f@ uolf9J
The Jewish feasts come generally in bunch In
the Fal and Winter Of the year. The festivities OF
the New Year had scarcely abated when the soem-
mites OF the Day Of Atonement came upon them,
and now when this festival has gone by, the annual
festival of Succoth, or Tabernacles, has arrived.
This festival requires Israetes to live in tents
booths made of branches Of trees and in large
cities and towns this cannot be observed except
nominally To fulfil the requirement superfcially
such temporary structures are erected In the yards
of private dwellings, where the family gather and
partake OF their meals. But even this fOrmalty Is
falling into disuse, 1t having little or no meaning
for Israetes OF the present age 1t Is designed as
q remembrance OF the times when their
patriarchal ancestors dwelt in booths and tents
and also as q harvest home thanksgiving for Gods
blessing in bringing them originally into the Prom
ised Land and giving them settles which they did
not build, and houses abundantly furnished with
every good thing and vineyards and olive trees
which they did not plant" Hence this FEAST which
lasts seven days, Is season OF rejoicing 1t began
on Thursday, and will end on Wednesday next.
The first and last days of the feast are considered in
some sense holy days, so that no servie work is TO
be done on them. The booths are to be built Of
myrtle and willow boughs and palm leaves. and as
is lett open SO that the sun, moon and stars may
throw their light directly upon the interior In mild
climates and In more open spaces 1t is customary
booths, but here this is not exacted.
RELIGIOUS IMPORTANCE OF THE FEAsT.
Spiritually considered the festival Is intended to
check the risinQs of pride In the heart which might
spring up from consideration only Of the improved
and happy condition OF the Jews in their own land
and homes. They are, therefore, to be reminded
year after year, by this festival that they still
but strangers and pgr inns here and that their real
home Is In another and better world. Each of the
vegetable products used in the erection OF the
booths has also symbolic spiritual meaning in
tended to remind the people Of their entire depend
ence upon God. Part OF the liturgy OF the closing
day Is prayer for rain and propltious season. 1t
Is customary during this festival to take the rolls OF
the law from the ark and to carry them in process
sion round the synagogue, which Is Illuminated.
And, with the close OF this festival ends the Autum-
nal festivals OF Judaism. No other month in the
year contains SO many and various holidays as this
month Tishri-the seventh-and it seems 10 have
been the intention OF the law that the gratitude of
man should keep pace with the bounty of the
Creator, and that, at this very season. when the
earth Is teeming with the abundance OF the divine
blessing, man should have 1t impressed upon his
mind that the only return he can make for the
divine 1avor Is obedience to Gods laws and love
for his Creator.

before the session opened, that $500, 900 worth Of
lumber had been swallowed up'' in this Court

used.

Certain other papers were introduced showing that
Mr.. sandiord had certain relations with Mr.. Genet
In the matter OF purchasing lumber for the Court
House. But they and indeed the entire evidence,
as thus far introduced. are OF no Importance, save
as they may hereafter be connected with something
else, which the counsel ior the Commissioners
promises will be the case.

Judge Pottcr's Opinion.

FUst-The complaint, in my opinion, does state
facts sufficient to constitute cause OF action. 1t
charges that the defendant falsely and corruptly
intending to delraud the public, and by means OF
false and fictitious claims obtained payment
from the Comptroller Of the city of New York upon
such false and fraudulent claims to the amount Of
$450e77 10. For the purposes OF this case this
charge is admitted to be true. Moneys obtained by
fraud and fasehood. by false pretences or fraudu-
lent representations ls recoverable by action The
first cause Of demurrer is not, therefore, well
taken.
complaint does not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute q right OF action in favor OF the plaintiffs

OF The People vs. Tweed and Connolly, and is
not, therefore, we'll taken. The Comptroller OF the
city of New York. by the seventh section OF the act
of 1869, chapter s76, was created or appointed a
trustee to audit, adjust and pay certain claims Of
certain members OF engine and hook and ladder
companies therein specified, -and was authorized
and directed to raise money to pay the same to an
amount not exceeding $4,000. In pursuance OF
this authority aud trust as Is alleged and admitted
the said Comptroller did audit adjust, and pay from
moneys obtained by virtue OF his authority, all
the claims OF said engine companies, &c., that
had been presented; that these claims fell
within the said limit of $50 oo0 and were the only
claims found due BY the Comptroller to such com,
to. Under the provisions and limitations vf the
act Of 1859 but about $722 60 remained within the
power OF the Comptroller to audit and pay. The
payment OF such further sum would exhaust all his
power to raise money for that object; but this sum
remained TO be acted upon, and the act OF 1870 can
be held to operate upon this balance. In 1870 the
rected and authorized the said Comptroller to pay
tue claims (which have been found QucD to the
