CHIEF JUSTICE CoMEGY's CHARGE
We gave much of our room yesterday to
complete report of the evidence in the
seduction case Just closed in our Superior
Court. and We devote great part of the
GAZETTE again to-day, to the very inter
esting, impressive and earnest charge OF
Chief Justice CoMEGYs in giving the case
to the jury. 1t will be seen that the jury
has sustained the justice and equity ofthe
ease. Honorable men of all shades OF
society when they examine the minutia,
of the case and bring it home to their
own feelings will, we believe, sustain the
action of the jury.

THE LAW OF INTERSTATE EXTRADIT1oN.-
A decision of considerable interest to
the general public, as well as to the legal
profession, was rendered by Judge West
brook in the chambers of the Supreme Court
Tuesday. The case adjudicated upon may
be briefly stated Us follows: Benjamin w.
Brscoe WAS a member OF firm in Fulton
county, Ga He came North and obtained
quantity of goods from New York mer-
chants, as it would now appear, upon false
pretences. Two Of his creditors in this city
had him arrested on warrants in civil suits
to recover, granted by Judges Denohue and
Westbrook respectively. Meantime Briseoe
and his partners were indicted by the grand
Jury Of Fulton county, Ca, for
fraudulent conversion OF property en-
trusted to them by Virginia firm to sell
on commission. On requisitlon OF the COY
ernor of Georgia Governor Tilden granted
warrant OF extradition, and the sheriff OF
Fulton county had the prisoner brought be-
fore Judge Westbrook on ha6eas corpus, TO
have him discharged from civil arrest ana
turned over to the authorities OF Georgia.
After giving long opinion, citing various
authorities. his honor concludes as foli0Ws:
HWith no intentional personal dlsrespectt 10
tbe chief executive of this State, the remedy
sought by this proceeding is withheld be-
cause-tirst, the provisions OF the hqoedS
corpus act do not authorize the surrender OF
a nerson held under civil process for any
such cause as has been urged before us Sc
conds Briscoe being detained under Inc avs
OF this State, cannot be discharged until the
demands OF these laws have been fully satis-
fed and discharged. The writ OF hdoedS
corpus IS dismissed and the prisoner re-
manded TO the custody OF the sherih"-Ne'o

A MODEL. SHERIFF.-At the coroner's in
quest over Walkers body the sheriff OF Sa-
lem county, Nd, was witness. His tes-
timony is somewhat unique. He said:
GA messenger came to my house on
Thursday morning and told me that prize
fight was about to take place at Perinsville.
l hitched my horse and driU for the place
saw lot of men there, near to large tree !;
I notified q lot OF Jerseymen that they might
be wanted, and then / placed myself on
large stool and looked at them for little
while; and then, says I, Gentlemen, by
the authority vested IN me by the State OF
New Jersey us sheriff Of the county OF
Salem, / command you, prize-fighters. to git
out OF here;' they said, 'Oh, my and
pull down your vest which didn't do.
The most OF them, though, ran away; at
forwards went to the wharf and locked the
Creedmoor cutter, but they came down and
took her away; I forbid them doing it, but
they didn't seem to care what / said; they
struck me with piece OF Bologna sausage
on the nose, and fired porter bottle ut my
head; saw no canteleups or watermelons
in the air; attempted the arrest OF one man,
but he got away from me; he was the fellow
that carried the belts and sponges; no one
was shot on my side, but one man had a
bullet 60 through the leg Of his panties; l
leaned UP against pork barrel, and they
riddled it with bullets; fired two shots at

ABOUT LETTER. WRITING.-Frequent acci-
dents in transmitting the mails show the
necessity OF observing certain rules in letter.
writing. AS stated elsewhere, about one
hundred and fifty letters, many Of them
containing money, drafts, postal orders, &C.,
from the wrecked train near Harper's
Ferry, were sent to the dead-letter office,
with view to putting the writer's or per-
sons addressed in possession OF their prop
erty. This cannot be done i'll many cases,
because the envelopes are missing and the
body OF the letters contain no clue
either to the writers or the persons
for whom they are intended. In some
cases the name of the post-office is omitted,
and simply the date given, while the sigma
ture is simply "Charley," or ff William," or
'sSusan," as the case may be. In very
large number of cases the name and address
of the party for whom the letter is intended
are not contained in the body Of the letter,
and in consequence it must be returned TO
the writer. The third Assistant-P ostmaster-
Generals Of the opinion that OF the $4,000
letters received at the dead-letter office daily
fully one-half cannot be returned to the wri-
ters or persons addressed, because the let
tiers themselves do not contain any clue to
the names Of the places from which they are
sent, the names Of the writer's, or those OF
the parties addressed.

OUR CoUSCLMEN IN PHILADELPHIA.-A
special telegram from Philadelphia tells us
that our councilmen had grand excursion
and banquet on board the steamer W. d.
stokely on yesterday. Their enjoyment
was unbounded, and the occasion was one
which will ever be remembered by all pres
ent. It seems that our Philadelphia friends
of the quill know more about our city OFF,
cials than we do. Witness the following
paragraph from the Philadelphia Press OF
the 9Th instant:
"Mayor John P. Higgins and the eoun-
ciln1en OF Richmond, Va, accompanied by
Ex-Governor Walker, OF Virginia, and Sam.

Editors Dispatch: / have heard the name OF

would suggest the name Of "Basin street"
as the one most applicable, because it at
once designates the locality, while Water
street would be appropriate to anything
along the river from Hollywood to Rockets.
Numbers of persons in the city not inter-
ested doubtless are unaware that any i'm
provement is going on here, and they, as
multitudes in the country, would be at
loss to know-where Water street is should
they see the advertisement OF business

I wish to advertise some myself about this

whether the name is established. Some
