THE STEP UPON THE sTArR.

THE STEP UPON THE STAIR.
There is simple Scottish song,
The only one / trow,
Fer uttered from heart which throbbed
A hundred years ago.
1t tells no tale of classic grief,
No hero's deed Of war,
But chooses for its homely theme,
The 'gudeman that's AVA"
Gaily 1t sings his near return
Its eager words declare gta 81
"His very step has music int
AS he comes up the STAIR
All mothers, sisters lovers, wivesl
. Think not your answering hearts
70 hear amid the caroled tes
The truth the song imparts2
1t is not to the listening ear
OF Scottish wife alone
There comes step whose cadence makes
The music of her home.
But every woman's faithful breast
Enshrines the earnest prayer,
Grant me, kind heaven, to hear once more
The step upon the stair.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.

Proceedings in Bankruptcy-A Contu-
macious Witness Ordered to Produce
Books and Papers.
Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered a decision
in the matter OF William w. Hush, a bankrupt.
This case has been before Register wilnams. The
assignee submitted his right to examine Daniel
Adee as witness to obtain information generally
as to the estate OF the bankrupt and also in regard
10 his business booas which appeared, from testi-
mony taken in this cause, to be in the possession
OF Adee. The latter refused to be sworn, upon
the ground that he Is receiver and
such officer OF the Supreme Court OF the State
OF New York and therefore exempt and privileged
from the proposed examination under the sum
mons of the United States District Court. Mr.
Samuel q. Courtney appeared before the Register
as attorney ior the assignee, and insisted that
Adee should be required 70 produce his books and
papers and be examined in relation TO the same.
The matter having been certified 10, the Court
Judge Biatchford decides that the witness must
be sworn and submit to be examined under sec
ton 26 II must depend upon the course OF the
examination as to whether any books must be
produced.

THE RING SUITS.
Motion to Quash the Indictments Against
Ex-Com ptrolIer Il. B. Connolly.


In the Court OF General Sessions before Judge
Sutherland, yesterday, Mr.. John McKeon, in ac-
cordance with notice, moved TO quash the indict-
ments found against Richard E. Connolly by the
Grand Jury in December, 1871.
Assistant District Attorney Russell offered q
preliminary objection to the motion, and asked
Mr.. McKeon to present the grounds OF the motion.
Mr.. McKeon said the motion was based on the
ground that another indictment for substantially
the same offence had subsequently been found by
the oyer and Ierm1ner Grand Jury, and the law
required that when a person a second
time indicted for the same offence the first in
dictInent be superseded. There were on file in
the Clerks Office OF the General Sessions fifteen in
dictments against Mr.. Connolly-two found on the
18th OF December, 1871, charging Mr.. Connolly with
not having properly audited certain warrants,
while the remainder of the indictments were found
day or two afterwards So the matter stood un-
til October, 1872, when the large Indictment COM
found against Messrs. Tweed and Connolly by the
Oyer and Ierminer Grand Jury. Counsel con-
tended that this Indictment covered the
claims OF December 15 1871, and on this
ground he asserted that the original
indictments were superseded by that of the over
and Terminer Counsel contended that the Gen
eral Sessions Grand Jury, by which the indict-
ments OF 1871 had been found. was extended ie-
gally from the November term by Judge Bedford,
and that therefore It's action was void.
Counsel asserted that Mr.. Connolly had never
been under examination by committing magis-
trate, and added that the November Grand Jury
could not Ind an Indictment when the oyer and
Terniner Grand jury was in session. Mr. McKeon
then quoted from the act OF 1870, which supported
his view.
Assistant District Attorney Russell was not ready
TO argue the case and the 18th inst. was ap.
pointed Tor tAe further hearing OF the question.
