CHARGE OF DEFALCATION.

Yesterday the case Of Albert Kunz, who had
been charged on indictment with defaming the
character OF Columbus Alexander, OF Washington,
was up before Judge Biatcnford on application for
a writ o. habeas corpus In the United States Cir
cult Court. On the examination before Commits
sioner osborn warrant was made out for the ex-
tradition OF Knnz to Washington. AS soon as this
order was entered Mr. A. Q. Hail. counsel for the
defendant applied Tor a writ OF habeas corpus
for the purpose of testing the question as to
whether the defendant mad committed any offence
at all under the federal law. Yesterday when the
case came on Tor hearing Mr.. Hall took the posi-
ton that IL was no crime against the
United states Tor the defendant TO de-
fame the character OF Columbus Alex
ander, and that, therefore, there was no
reason or ground whatever for the eXtraditi0n Of
the accused. Judge Blatchford observed that the
question raised BY Mr. Hall could not be disposed
OF under writ OF habeas corpus. Finally, after
some discussion. 1t was agreed that on Saturday
next Mr. Purdy, United States Assistant District
Attorney, should move to extradlte the accused,
and that, upon the making OF such motion, 1t
would be within the power or Mr.. Hall to present
his views and offer such arguments as might
occur to him in regard to the validity or nvalidlty
OF the indictment on which 1t is sought to send
Kunz for trial In Washington on the offence

IMPORTANT INSURANCE SUIT.

Jacob Bergman Effected, In the Queens Insurance
Company, OF Liverpool, an insurance OF 81, 500 on
a stock or goods In his store In the Bowery, which
was destroyed by fire. condition was incorpor-
ated In the policy that no insurance should be con-
sidered valid unless the premium was paid to the
company There was also another condition that
the company should have the right to elect to hold
the policy Invalid Tor any cause upon notice TO the
insurer at any time TO this effect. On behalf OF the
company it was claimed under the first condition
that the premium had never been paid to them,
but that the broker OF the insurance mad received
1t. Under the second condition 1t was
notice on the Insured that the policy had been
answer to those objections, that payment OF the
premium was admitted in the body Of the policy,
and that the issuing by the company OF the policy
and It's acceptance BY the insured created a debt
against the latter Tor the amount OF the premium,
which could be collected by the company In
suit, and constituted waiver or the conditions on
the part OIL the company. The second objection
was that the notice served upon the insured was
void, through not being In compliance with the
conditions oil the poucy, such notice being that
the policy had already oeen cancelled and not, as
provided by the policy, notice Of their inen ton TO
cancel 1t after such notice The points stated we're
raised on the trial OF the case yesterday in Su-

savings bank pass books had been referred to two
arsltrators for adjustment They awarded 1913
against the defendant ferham, and he being sued
for the amount on the award, resisted payment
on the ground that the arbitration had been
irregularly and Improperly conducted.
IL was shown on the trial that the arbtrators
had taken the statements OF each contending
party separately, without the presence OF the
other. had accepted so-called sample copy
on which the order Tor the work was given from
the plaintiff Melley, without giving the opportunity
TO Derham 10 inspect or Identify 1t, and In their
examination OF the books had acted very much
ION their own hook,n aud In one instance an
arbitrator mad made an extended examination In
the absence OF the other. The arbitrator also
took "drinks" with the respective parties. on
these facts the Court after a long argument, d.
rected verdict for the defendant, setting the
award aside as null and void.
A severe Illustration OF the value OF professional
''promses" occurred al the end OF the case. On
separate cause OF action Tor services the plaintiff
claimed S45. De endanr admitted 1t, and paid the
amount Ue ore trial. taking the receipt OF plain
tfrs attorneys IN full therefor and their promise
that no claims for tue amount would be made In
court ON the trial, however, although the re-
ceipt was produced and admitted, the attorneys
refused TO allow an amendment OF the pleadings
setting up said payment; and the Court was COM
PEELED on the lace OF the papers TO give judgment
against the defendant Tor that sum. This conduct
was severely criticised by the DEFENDANTS attor-
ney, Mr.. Towney, and the Court granted a stay OF
twenty days to permit him TO apply at Special
Term FOR tile proper relief.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

WASHINGTON, Oct 49, 1874.
No. s. City OF New orleans vs.. The New York
Mail Steamship Company. Appeal from the Cir
cult Court for the Eastern district OF louisiana
This was an action to restrain the Guy from re-
moving the buildings on wharf occupied by the
company under a lease from the city executed by
acting Mayor Kennedy, who was appointed by the
military authorities after the capture OF New Or
leans. The city urged that the lease was good
only while the military held occupation, and was
void as against subsequent civil administration.
The military Mayor ana Boards had no authority
to lease the property OF the city. Whatever rights
or powers they possessed terminated with the
close OF hostlties, and they could no more create
an interest to last beyond that time than could
tenant for years create one to last beyond his
term. On the other hand 1t was insisted that the
government established in New Orleans after the
capture, continued until Withdrawn or suspended
by the sovereign power, and that long as the
State OF louisiana was not restored TO the Union,
and It's citizens were not relieved from their dsa-
biities the Officers and authorities established by
the sovereign power OF the United states were the

THE SUIT AGAINST CoMsToCK.

In the case OF Bryan vs. Comstock, In which q
motion was made few days ago by Comstock's
counsel Messrs. Elpridge T. Gerry and Ambrose
Mcneil to vscate the order OF arrest which the So
called s.Dr" Bryan had obtained against Com
stock Judge Donohue decided yesterday to grant
the motion. In his written opinion fled yester-
day he says:-'It seems to me q fair result to
reach from the facts presented by the proofs that
the so-caied CLINTON Medical and Surgical Insti-
tute is myth and that the persons whose names
are USED by 1t as doctors" are also myths. None
are produced nor the whereabouts OF either ex-
posed. Under such circumstances and the nature
OF the publications emanating from the suppOsitt-
tious parties named, 1t seems to furnish probable
grounds Tor the defendant and those acting with
MIN TO make all reasonable attempts to break up
the system those names covered, and by means Of
which names the business sought to be prevented
could be carried on, aud 1t seems to me that moth
ing was done for which there was not probable
cause. The motion to vacate the order OF arrest
Is, therefore, granted, with COSTS"

TO put plaintiff on inquiry. In addition to this
there was the uncOntradicted evidence that HOff
