There is n wide demand that the
tariff on tea and coffee be restored. II
Is alleged that We are losing millions
OF revenue by the loss OF the. tax,
while, strangely enough, the prices of
these commodities remain the same.
The tax was thrown off with the idea
that the prices Of these articles wouId
be lower, and the poor would thereby
be benefited. The result did not
equal the promise. and It Is evident
that speculators have reaped sad are

tax and add about Ss0. 900 10 our reye-

THE NATIONAL SHIPPING LAW.
A Letter in It's Defence.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In your issue OF November 10, under the head
"Saiors' Grievances" was an article purporting
to be report OF sailors meeting, held on Sab
bath, in Cosmopolitan Hail. to denounce this law.
The speeches as reported and the resolutions ex-
hlbit so much ignorance OF facts or disregard
OF truth that, with your permission
VIII give your numerous readers few
simple facts relative to the origin and design
OF the law, as also OF one or two other institutions
ignoranty confounded with 1t by this so-caed
sailors meeting. The
sEAMEN's ASSOCIATION, OR SAILORS EXCHANGE,
originated among seamen themselves Tor their
own Improvement, but more especially for their
protection against frauds practised them by
various parties. From S. to 500 was generally
charged them Tor the chance OF shipping, espe-
cialy when seamen were plenty. This in their
own characteristic language, they called s'blood
money! large share OF which went into the
pockets OF their landlords. Several meetings have
been held by them to devise measures or relief by
organization; but they had unwisely mixed up
with this strike for higher wages. They paraded
the streets with flags and music, TIL, without
results, numbers began to drop OH in discourage
ment In this emergency three OF their leaders
appeared TO the writer, IN the ONCE OF the Ameri.
can Seamens Friends Society, for counsel ad
vice and aid. lie listened 10 the story of their
wrongs efforts and objects; told them their object
was grand one, and, what was more, that the
EFFORT came from the right source-from seamcn
themselves; but 10 succeed they must have
officers and managers residing on shore and
known, and having the confidence OF the
community. Remembering that Captain q.
Z. Duncan was then at leisure, re-
tired sea captain, friend OF seamen,
he sent them TO him with their story 70
ask him II he would be the President OF the Asso'
ciation, II Others would associate with MN 10
manage It's AFFAIRS. They returned with the repors
that he would consider the matter but gave llttlc
encouragement. They were urgent that we should
attend their next meeting. We iounh at That
meeting 90 or 10 OF as fine class OF sailors as ever
trod a ships deck-good at spccchmaking, but
unskiled at organization. The result finally was
the organization OF the Assocaton-a charter

The Recent Election i'm New Lots
Annexation or No Annexation.
Before Judge Moore.
Judge Moore was engaged part OF yesterday
morning in hearing counsel in the matter Of
the application for an order setting aside the
stated result in the recent election in the town of
New Lots, and providing for another election
The contest IN question was between the annexa-
ton and anti-anneXation parties, and created a
great deal OF excitement and bitter feeling in that
usually quiet, stald old town. The party iavoring
annexation 70 the city OF Brooklyn Were defeated.
The present application Is based on the allega
tion that the election was not held in conformity
with the requirements OF the Jaw as TO the polling
places. Counsellor Hagner argued that the In
spectors had no right 10 call an election in two
PAGES, but that ii should have been held at the
place where the next town meeting was called.
iie also coutended that 1t should have been ex-
pressly specified that The election TO be held was
10 determine whet4er the town should be annexed
to Brooklyn or not, all oil which the notice failed
to do
Judge Moore suggested that counsel should SUBJ
nit their points IN writing and added:-'I think IL
is ar 10 say to The gentleman here that in view or
the lact that there have been two expressions OF
electors on this SUBJECT there must be some really
substantial reason, and not mere technicalltles,
that III set the election aside Oh. must be made

iered with before I'll set aside this matter. II

order another election and the friends OF annexa-
ton should be successful then comes in the other

large crowd assembled al the Court OF Oyer
and Terminer yesterday morning 10 witness the
final disposition of Michael Broderick, in whose
case verdict OF guilty Of manslaughter in the
fourth degree was rendered the evening previous.
Punctualy at ten O'Clock Judge Daniels assembled
the bench and, on District Attorney Phelps moving
for sentence, Mr.. William F. Howe arose and made
a feeling appeal for judicial cemency in behalf OF
the prisoner, who he stated, was the sole support
of the bereaved family. Mr.. Howe then called to
the witness stand j. W. Hunter and James Albert
son, two OF Broderick's former employers, who
spoke in terms OF the highest commentator OF
the prisoner. The wife OF Broderck was also
placed on the stand and in fearful sentences she
spoke TO the Judge OF the Kindness always ex-
h.bited to her by the unfortunate culprt. As she
retired from the witness stand she sobbngly en-
treated the Judge 10 be merciiuL
In passing sentence Judge Daniels reviewed the
testimony and said that had the jury rendered a
verdict or guilty Of murder IN the second degree
the evidence would have justified 1t and no court
would have set the judgment aside. The jury had
been very lenlent in the view they had taken, and
alter reading Broderick lesson the unneces-
sary insubordlnatIon in his family and remarking
that society required punishment to be inflicted
warning TO others the Judge ordered him TO be
imprisoned in the State Prison lor one year and
six months.
During the remarks OF the learned Judge Brod-
erick seemed very much affected, and when the
sentence was imposed he regained his seat ana
Immediately embraced his wife and family, and
after iervently thanking his counsel was taken

NEW YORK, Dec Is, 1875
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Permit me, as the partner OF Mr. Lange, to cor
rect misapprehension that might arise in respect
TO the action of his counsel in applying to Judge
Hunt, at Washington, for the writ OF nabeas

ing to have been denied, on the ground that app-
cation therefor should have first been made IN
this district. The counsel first wrote to the Judge
in respect to the application and at his request
went on TO Washington. accompanied by myself
The Judge then said he would hear the application
notice being given to the Attorney General
and TO the District Attorney OF New York We
went directly to the Attorney Generals office, ar
ranged The matter with him. and on the day fixed
Mr. Lange's counsel presented to the Judge the
application for the writ, with admission OF service
upon the designated parties and also on the New
York marsnal. No objection was made by them to
the hearing; question was raised as to the right
to make the application. Reasons were given for
not bringing the matter before the judges OF this
district which were apparently satisfactory to the
mind OF the Judge, and the matter was discussed
on It's merits on behalf Of the government by the
Assistant District Attorney under an arrangement
previously made with him and the Judge that the
argument on the application for the writ should
be made as on the return, to avoid the incon-
yenience OF bringing the matter twice before the
