BUSINESS IN The OTHER COURTS.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Benedict sat in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday, and proceeded with the disposal
of the criminal business.
Charge OF Sending an Obscene Article
Through the Mails.
Joseph Kendall, OF No. Great Jones street, was
put upon his trial for sending through the mails
an article designed and intended for an immoral
purpose. Mr.. Purdy, United states Assistant Dis
trict Attorney in opening the case, said he was
sorry say the jury would have to consider things
OF very great depravity 1t was, however, their
duty and his duty TO consider the law and the
evidence no matter how repulslye IL might
be to them This ii was incumbent upon
them to do ior the sake of Justice and In the in
terest OF puollc decency and morality. The IN
dlctmenJ was drawn under the l4Sth section OF the
that no obscene book, picture print, paper or ar
tCle. intended for immoral OBJECT, shall be
deposited in or transmitted through the mails.
1t woald be for the government 10 show two facts
first, that the article in question obscene, and,
secondly, that 1t was deposited in the mails The
principal witness for the prosecution was Anthony
j. Coinstock, Special Agent in the Post once, who
combines with his duty IN that Department the
business of hunting down the sellers of obscene
books prints and obscene articles. During the
progress OF the case counsel for defendant put
a question to Comstock with regard To the article
In question This question was at once objected TO
termned tone OF voice, said, zone more remark OF
that knd, sir, and you Will be committed. This Is "a
serious case, and must be tried with care" IL Is
right TO say, however, that the question OF the
counsel tMr; McCelland), which called forth THIS
severe rebuke from the Court. was put, in the
hurry OF the moment, apparently without meaning
either the slightest insult to the Court or to tue
witness, and was hurriedly suggested by some per-
son stuhg near. Inc case had not concluded az
the rising OF the Court which adjourned until this
morning at eleven O'Clock

THE EXCISE QUESTION.

The Germans Force the COmmi listeners
into ActiOn-A Pretty Good MOve-Ex-
pected Closing of Low Groggerics on
Sundays.
The dealers in intoxicating liquors, beer, wine,
&c. are just at the present time anxiously watch
ing the movements OF the Excise Commissioner
with view relative to keeping liquor stores open
on Sunday. The Germans, who are usually pretty
'cute in all that Affects their interests and
rights last Sunday week attempted to force mat
tiers to an issue by inviting the new Excise Com
mssOners to make a Sunday tour Of the gardens
and parks where lager anu German wines freely
flow at all hours of the day and night.
This was bold stroke OF policy in
asmuch as every Commissioner who tasted the
lavOrlte drinks oil Fatherland was a witness to the
violation of the Excise law. Yet no arrests have
been made growing out OF this official visit. The
Commissioners were accompanied by some Of the
Aldermen, and the result of the tour is anxiOusly
looked for.
To-day at ten A. NJ. the Commissioners will meet
a delegation of Aldermen and other gentlemen at
the Office OF the Excise Board when they will eX-
plain their views upon the subject. 1t is under
closing all the low groggeres OF the city where vile
alcoholic connections are retaed, and are Ill favor
of the unrestricted sale OF light wines, lager and
weiss beers in all gardens and other places where
proper order and decorum are observed, and that
the fullest encouragement will be given to the
Germans to enjoy their Sunday lager and music
under proper restrictions.

The East side ru1ian Is as treacherous as Mo-

Police Court. On Tuesday morning Mr.. John Curtis
proprietor of liquor store at No. Is North william
street, was on his way home, when he was met in
Chryste street by two quondam friends named
John Gallagher and Thomas Hastings. The latter
saluted Curtis in quite friendly way. AS
Curtis looked round Hastings suddenly struck
Curtis n powerful blow under the chin, telling him
to the sidewalk and causing him to feel for mo-
ment insensbe. The two rufians then proceeded
to plumber their victim. Gallagher, is alleged,
got away with his gold watch and chain, valued at
$500, and Hastings, as the complaint says strove
desperately to relieve him OF $500 he had in his
inside pocket, and OF which fact he appeared to
have perfect cogniZance While Gallagher was
running down Chrystie street Ofilcer Hearn OF the
