Credit Mobilier in .hc Courts.

PHILADELPHIA Feb lin the court of com
mon pleas, Judge Allison read decision of
petition on the Credit Mobilier, asking for a
decree of dissolution under the act of April,
1856, on the ground that since July, 1868, the
corporation has transacted no business. The
Judge refuses the prayer of the petition and
gives the following reasons for his REFUSAL
The government has given notice that it
claims to be creditor of the corporation to q
large amount. Congress has, by its action,
directed the employment of counsel to investi,
gate and prosecute such claims, Shall we en-
barrass the future action dependent upon such
an inquiry by taking from that body its very
existence, and enable it to pass out Of sight by
quietly descending into the grave which BY an
ticipation it has prepared for itself, and turn
the government, as well as individual creditors,
over to scramble for the effects of this BODY?
This corporation should be compelled to con-
tinue to live and stand in its proper place till it
may be made clear beyond a reasonable doubt
that, without prejudice to the public welfare
OF interest of the corporation, and we may add,
that OF its creditors, we may safely give to it
the death 1t desires, to die by our hands, The
exceptions to the report of our master are srs-
tanned and the prayer of the petitioners is re-

NEW YORK.


Motion for 81 New Trial Denied.
NEW YORK, Feb. Judge Davis denied the
motion for the new trial of Tweed to-day, on
the ground that the term of court expires in
few days; but he intimated that the counsel for
the prosecution could move for a new trial on
Monday next. This ends for the present the
prosecution of Tweed.
How the Jury was Packed in the Tweed
Trial.
In an interview last night, Lyman Tremaine
said that the ''ring' still remained in power
here by reaaOn of the laws already passed in
their interest, and that the present mode of
summoning jurors here was mere mockery of
Justice. In 1870 the ring passed law MAX
ing the Commissioner of Jurors the exclusive
judge as to the qualification of jurors. The
markable for intelligence and character were
drawn. The reverse of this is true in Tweed's
case Of this jury one had served year in the
penitentary, another was worthless loafer
about the city, provided with a new suit of
clothes for the occasion, and a third had openly
boosted that he could make a good deal Of
money if he could get on Boss's trial. Tremaine
added that seven OF the jury were for convic-
ton and five for acquittal. Efforts to interview
the iurymen last night We're but partially sue
cessful. They said they had taken solemn
oath, administered to each one of them, not to
divulge the secrets of the jury-room.
Tremaine mentions the fact that of oae hum
bred men summoned ON che Tweed panel only
twenty -1llne appeared, from which number the
principal portion of the jury were drawn. The
remainder subsequently appeared before the
court and showed that they never had been
summoned at all, and they were all according
ly excused from their fines. These latter were
all remarkable for their intelligence and re-
spectability. All the officers who had ANYTHING
to do with obtaing of jurors are personal and
political friends of Tweed, and it was through
their manipulations that the jury was packed
for Tweed's trial. Interviews last night with
the foreman and other jurors discloses the fact
that some of the jury proposed that they take
an oath not to divulge any of their proceedings
after the trial, and no facts could be obtained
from them.
An Old Suit Ended.
Judge Sedgwick has given decisi n in favor
of the defendants in an ejectment suit brought
by the madison Avenue Baptist church against
the Oliver Street Baptist Church, and ordered
references to ascertain the amount to be paid
defendants by plaintiffs. The suit has been
before the courts for ten years. during which
time the societies have worshipped in Madison
Avenue. The suit originated in dispute about
the ownership of the property.
Various Matters.
A meeting of prominent citizens Of Brooklyn
was held last night to bring about union with
New York under one city charter.
The rumOred suspension of prominent insur-
ance company here is b elieved to be ground
less
Supt. McCregor is continuing the inspection
of hotels in the city.

SABBATH SCHOOL Con eERT.-The quarterly
Sabbath School concert at the Congress Square
Universalist church, came off last evening.
The house was crowded The exercises con-
sisted OF singing, speaking, dialogues &c. Very
pleasant remarks were made by Nathan Webb
Esq, and Rev. Mr. Gibbs thanked the audience
for the large attendance and for the close at.
tention shown, which circumstances be tbougbt
would have good effect upon the young as
showing them their efforts were appreciated
and as stimulating them to renewed efforts.
ferhaps the most pleasing portion of the exer-
cses was an allegory called 'The offering of the
Months, in which those divisions of time were
pefsonated by twelve children. The concert
closed with the hymn Down from the skies.
