EASTER on THE AVENUE AND IN THE PARK.

Although much or the clustering spirit OF that
and but little Of the fearful gentleness Of April yet
neither dust, wind nor cold could daunt the fair
church g0ers, who were determined to be out on
the fashionable promenade on Easter Sunday, OF
all days In the year. There was little, however to
designate the latest spring styles, as seal skin
jackets and warm wraps were in the ascendant
and wells were necessary to prevent red noses and
chapped lips. Now and then, however, we en-
countered full nedged representative OF Dame
Fashion. who had discarded the styles or the winter
and had emerged in new redlngote nower-laden
hat and close-ntting skirts. From Washington
PARK to Central Park the handsome thoroughiare
was crowded In the afternoon, and as the services
OF each church closed hundreds or fair prone
naders swelled the gay thrOng. In the Park
wind and cold seemed not to have any terr0rs for

bleak and uninvitng yesterday, on the banks OF
the lake, around the Arsenal and its bowling deni-
Zens, and through many O devious path In the

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
For the past five or six months this precinct, as
wen as others, has suffered from the depredatlons
OF a colored man, who. under the plea OF poverty,
went to a number Of private houses In this and
other precincts, delivered note asking for assist
ance to whoever would answer the bel stating
that he desired 1t to be delivered to the occupant
OF the house, and when the servant had departed
upon her mission he would strip the hall rack and
make OF with whatever clothing might be
hanging upon it, On Friday evening last at about
halfpast eight O'clock Officer Pratt. OF this station
tthe bearer OF this note) succeeded In arresting
colorcd man, who gave the name OF Thomas Rufus,
who mad operated In the manner above stated
and had stolen an overcoat from the hall OF
house No. l07 East Twenty Nth street, occupied by
James I. Cox. But we are unable to make q case
against him. owing to the fact that the servant to
whom he delivered the note only caught partial
glimpse OF his features and, though she Is almost
positive that he Is tine right man, yet would not
like to swear to 1t, and he has been remanded to
the station house so as to enable to obtain fur
Their evidence. Now, would like you to be kind
enough to make his arrest public through the col
umns Of your Journal, asking that parties who
have lost Overcoats in the manner above stated
would call at this station tomorrow morning 10Th
inst.) for the purpose OF Identifying him, as l am
certain that he s the party who Is guilty OF all
similar robberies which have taken place In the
upper part OF this city FOR the past six months.

EASTER SERVICES IN NEWARK.

Services unusually attractive. together with the
beautiful weather, occasioned crowded congrega-
tions yesterday In all the Newark churches espe-
cially the Episcopal and. Catholic ones. At st.
Patricks Cathedral, in the forenoon, mass was cell
ebrated by Bishop Corrlgan and a sermon preached
by Very Rev. G. II. Doane. V. G. In the course OF
his sermon Father Doane dwelt on the benencent
results OF the mission closed last Sunday under
the conduct of the kedemptionlst Fathers. Seven
thousand persons had been led back to their re-
ligious duties and confession. The music at st.
Patricks yesterday was very fine, the feature being
Millard's mass. At the House OF Prayer, Christ
church and Trinity, all Episcopal, there were very
large congregations. As usual on Easter, the affairs
OF all the churches were richly adorned with
flowers.

WASHINGTON, April 4, 1874.
When the Senate shall have disposed of the
pending currency bill, II not sooner the commit
tee on the subject OF cheap transportation will
submit o report or rather several reports, en-
bodying the different opinions OF the members OF
the committee touching the powers OF Congress in
the regulation Of commerce "among the States,n
and the extent to which Congress may interpose
In the regulation OF the railroads OF the country.
There win, from present indications, be majority
OF the committee against the House bill OF Mr..
McCrary, on constitutional grounds, and q ma
jority of the Senate from the outset Should these
subjects be taken up In the Chamber for regular
discussion, in view OF some legislative measure,
we shall doubtless have q pow-wow on the
powers and duties OF Congress over commerce
and on State rights, which, unless interrupted by
an adjournment sine die, will go on to the middle
OF August 1t Is probable, therefore, that after
some skrmishing this great question OF the gen.
eral regulation by Congress OF the freights and
fares OF the railways OF the United States will be
permitted to go over among the unfinished bust
ness OF this session to the short session. which
will begin In December next At present there is
prospect OF any agreement between the Senate
and the House upon any bill for the regulation OF
the railroads. and least OF all upon the bill OF Mr..
McCrary, which proposes to give to high joint
commission OF nine men discretionary power
over railway charges equal to that OF the Gar OF
all the Russias.

that river 10 descent OF twenty-five feet in the

money. 1t has for some years belonged
to the government, excepting Ave shares
OF the stock, each OF tho nominal value OF 500,
under which the canal is managed by these five
stockholders as trustees. and vet 1t appears that

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1874.
POI. Conrad VS.. United States-Error to the
Circuit Court for the District OF Louisana-In this
case there was decree Of condemnation against
property owned by Conrad, under the Conflscation
act OF 1862. After the war the suit was brought
TO recover the property, and the Judgment OF the
District Court sustained the proceedings in con-
fiscaton. On error to the Circuit Court the judg-
ment was reversed, on the ground taa, the alter
native form of the libel was insufficient TO charge
the owner, in setting forth that he was embraced
enemies OF the United States. IL should nave been
explicit and definite as TO the character OF the
trict Court erred in holding that the proceedings
IN C0nfiscati0n vested the fee OF the property In
the the Up oi ,ss States only nr estate during
the sale or the property s.ana-the net proceeds
to be paid TO the original owner. From this judy
ment both parties bring the case here, The govern
ment claiming that the reversal OF the Judgment
was error, but that the order directing the sale to
stand was correct, and the plaintiff in error the
reverse. other similar cases are argued with il.

These are cases growing out OF proceedings in
confscation against $40 lots OF ground IN the
State OF Louisiana, mostly in New Orleans, for
merry belonging TO JOnn Slluen Inc charge was
that he had been an officer in the army or navy, a
member Of Congress or other officer under the
Confederate government. Sndell did not appear,
but various other parties interviewed in the District
Court, claiming interest in the property, and they
appear rs parties In these cases. One OF them
held mortgage executed by SlIde IN Paris in
1862 TO secure loan OF $50 600 rancs and recorded
in New Orleans before and after the capture or the
city. Others held similar claims. The interven-
lions were dismissed In the District Court, and
the property was condemned and sold. The case
was taken to the Circuit Court where the death OF
Siden was suggested. That Court sustained the
decree OF the District Court disrnlssing the inter
ventions, but reversed the decree upon the libel,
holding 1t to be substantially detective in the re-
spect stated in Conrad ct al. vs. The United States
above given. The government insists that the in
formation was sufficient. II was filed against a
thing, ana not against person. 1t is not pre-
tended that the property Is not sufficiently de-
