City Chamberlain of New York. He went
with Deputy Sheriff to the Sinclair Ho,,
tel where they registered under assumed
names. Ward made unsuccessful attempts
to secure the required bail of $500, 900, and
was taken to jail on Thursday. Nobody can
tell how far the trouble will reach. Wards
testimony before the receiver was obviously
intended to shield Jas. D. Fish, of the Ma
rine Bank, and the Grants, and every time
he was driven in corner he fell back on II
do not remember" Both he and Mr.. Fish
were before the Grand Jury on Wednesday,
being summoned to testify about the action
of City Chamberlain Tappan, but they them,
selves will probably be proceeded against
criminally. Wards books in several places
bore the initials &c. A. A." as one of the
recipients of profits on the mythical con
tracts. Ward stated that the initials were
put there to make investors believe that
President Arthur was interested in the al
legged contracts, but that he really never did
business with the firm at all. None OF the
Grants have been arrested, and probably no
complaints will be entered against them.

YORK CIRCUIT COURT.

A letter received on Monday last by Maj.
James F. Hart, of the Yorkville bar, from
Judge B. C. Pressly conveys the information
that the Judge will not be able to hold any Courts
this summer, and on account of his enfeebled
health Chief-Justice Simpson has given him per-
mission to leave the State until the fall. Heis now
making preparations to 60 to the mountains so
soon as he gains sufficient strength to walk.
Judge Pressly was assigned to the Summer term
of the Courts of this circuit and in consequence
of his inability to preside, there will probably be
no June term of the Court for York. Mr.. Wallace,
Clerk Of the Court, is now in correspondence
with Chief Justice Simpson upon the subject,
and whatever conclusion may be reached will be
given to the public in due time.
At meeting of the members OF the Chester
Bar, it was decided to ask Chief Justice Simpson
to appoint Judge Witherspoon to hold the June
term for Chester county. This action was IN
view of the fact that there was no Court held in
Chester last March, and a number Of prisoners
are in ail whose cases should be disposed of.

On Saturday last Judge Kershaw heard
in Chambers at Columbia, twoappeals by the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.
One case involving the right of the road to
exact "penalty rates" from passengers un-
provided with tickets when facilities for
buying tickets have been afforded, such
penalty rates being in excess of the rates es-
tablished by Act of Legislature, and the
other case involving the right of the road to
charge more for its freight service on the
North Carolina division than on the South
Carolina part of the line, against the terms
of the act prescribing that the charges shall
be uniform for the same freight hauled
equal distances on any part of the line. At
torney- General Miles represented the State
and Col. J. H. Rion the railroad company.
The main points urged by counsel for the
road were the unconstitutionality OF the
railroad Act and the privileges allowed the
road by its charter. The arguments, which
were very able, lasted over four hours. The
Judge has not yet filed his decision.
