Attorney Rollins before Judge Cowing in Part 2 Of

is known a religious swindler, having, alleged
collected great deal Of money from servant girls by
representing that he Christian Brother, belong
ing to the Church of the Rcdemptorist Fathers on
East Third street While plying his vocation in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception he was over
hauled on the 9th ult. by Roundsman Daily. When
called to the bar yesterday the accused presented
wretched appearance, the wonder being that
any person could have been imposed upon
by such object. The specific charge against him,
to which he pleaded guilty, was that of obtaining
nifty cents from Mary Clark, of No. East Thirty
fourth street. Mary stated that, rule, he col
ected fifty cents from servant girls for the purpose
OF taking OF the poor well the erection Of
o Roman Catholic Church in Harlem.
"How much money did you collect ?" asked Judge
Cowing.

'and in order to find out who you really are. shall
send you to the Penentiary this charge for three
months and suspend sentence on the other charges.
Meanwhile, should discover you impostor.

D. 1t should be added that a gentleman connected

WILLIAM M. TWEEDS LAST LAWYEI

L
Judge Sper, Of the Superior Court. yesterday
dered his decision in the suit brought by Benjamin
p. Farchid against John d. Townsend, formerly
counsel for the late William NJ. Tweed. The action,
as will be remembered. was brought to compel re-
assignment of a mortgage and re-conveyance Of
tain premises held by the defendant attorney and
security for the payment in certain contingency Of
Ave promissory notes made by Tweed and endorsed
by the plaintiff, tive of the ten notes originally made
only being payable i'll Tweed should not be
vcted OF crime and sent the State Prison. 1t
also understood that i'll Tweed should be con-
yictcd and sent to State Prison. that the
i've notes should be paid the property was to be
decided and the mortgage resigned. In his decision
Judge Sper. after recitng the circumstances showing
the situation of the parties when they entered into
the agreement concludes his opinion follows -
'The plain conditions assumed by the defendant
titling him to compensation have not been per-
formed, nor does the case show merits for any
vices rendered by the defendant to accomplish the
purposes provided for in the agreement william
M. Tweed was released from imprisonment by death
It is pretended that either party in the agreement
made any provision for such contingency. The
law makes it for them. The acknowledged rule in
such is to regard the parties contracting with
reference to causes only over which human agency
has control. The plaintiff is entitled to judgment
with costs"

The Democratic programme, sgree'
upon almost unsnimously in csucu
yesterday. 10 substantially as follows
1st. Pass the Army Appropriation
bill with provision that no money ap
propriated in this act is appropriated
for or shall be used to pay the suSsist
ence. equipment, transportation or com
psnsation, Of any portion Of the Arm!
Of the u. s., to be used as polic'
force to keep the peace at the polls a
any election within any State.
2ud. Divide up the Legislative, Ex.
ecutive and Judicial appropriation
bill, granting such salaries aud ex-
peuses as 10 past years have been grant.
ed 10 the bill, and making the pay Of
u. 8. marshals. juries, etc.,. ,s has al.
ways heretofore been the case, the sub.
joct Of q separate bill: In this second
or separate bill there will, be- no.pro'
vision for carrying out the Federal
election laws, and the following pro.
kbitory clause will be added to the
bill: "That tho sums appropriated in
this act are in full for the nay and ex-
penses of all persons and for the pub
lilo service embraced herein for the fis.
cal year 1880, and no department or
officer Of the Government shall expend
a greater amount than is appropriated
for such year, or make any contract or
incur any liability for the future pay
ment Of money until an appropriation
sufficient to meet such contract or liza.
bility shall have first been made by
Congress"
Democrats are confident that Mr..
Hayes will approve the three bills out
lined above. He ought to do 80. of
course, but we must remember that
radical opposition in Congress to late
Democratic measures has not been so
much because those measures appear
ed to be bad as because the radicals
feared there might he hidden mischief
in them.
Mr.. Hayes yesterday appointed Sec'y
McCrary to be Judge Of the 9Th U. s
Judicial Circuit. in place of DilloD,
resigned. This is carrying out a pur.
pose entertained since Judge billions
resignation. In the next year and
.hree.quarters. during which Mr..
Hayes will occupy the White House,
We shall be fortunate If as worthy a
man as Mr.. McCrary occupies the po-
sition he now quits. There are sotsr
no indications as to who his successor
will be.
The Greenbackers of Maine yester-
day re.nominated their candidate OF
last year for Governor, and adopted a
platform demanding free coinage of
silver and gold. and the substitution
Of Greenbacks for National Bank
notes. II is probable the Democratic
Convention will re.nominate Governor
Garcelon. The Republicans have
difficulty in selecting their candidates.
Senator Blaine hss not yet made known
his pleasure. There are causes at
work in that State which may not i'm
produce further disintegra-
ton in the Republican ranks.

SULPHUR SOAP, which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local

dard remedy. Complexional blemish-
es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle pearly whiteness and

eradicates defects of complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive CON-
plants is to be deprecated because of
their having a tendency to clog the
pores and III some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They
are, besides, seldom thorough enough
in their effects to prevent the recur-
renee of eruptions of an inveterate
type, and have the disadvantage of
soiling the linen of persons who use
them. GLENN's SULPHUR Soar, on the
contrary, still further recommends
itself on account of It's cleanliness. 1t
is besides, an admirable disinfectant
of clothing which has been worn by
persons afflicted with diseases of con-
tagious nature. As specific proven
tive and promoter of general health it
presents advantages of the most un-
