After the pnaentetlua of the duo 'bill by Mr. Humphrey, wltneoi preferred charges against Gen. Bwaim which were aeot to the Secretary of War.

You would appear like a fool giving a man a dua bill forlVUU and tbon letting him overdraw hia bank aooount 14,000." AboutJoue month after thm Judge Johnson called upon witneaa in regard to the arbitration, and aaked an ex-tendon of HO days; the witneaa eoneentod and bad never heard anything further about the matter.

Hwalm requesting him to see Morrow about It Immediately, la a conversation that foW lowed. Gen. ftwairo, after telling witness how he bad secured hhv loan by a bill of sale upon Morrow's piano, aald tnat Morrow took the money from Hateman ao as to take up the other vouchers. The parties oonoerned In the pooling arrangement In Morrow's ease were H. U.

Cook at Co. Lewis Jobnaon A Co. T. H. Norton St Iviu're Co and Iteteman at Co.

The vouchers were to be placed in the bands of a Trustee, (H. K. Mlddlaton.) and sufficient money to defray bis living expenses was to be adranood to Morrow. On arose examination the witness said that the flve-lhoiieaod-doller cheok bad been returned to Brown.

He bejicved the law all right as it was, allowing a man to take up as much unoccupied prouud aa be oould cultivate, but thought r-taiit'ry measures ought to be taken aaainut New-Jersey and Connecticut. He thought something out to be done to prevent mud snows dumping In Prince's liay and to prevent the chemical factories along the Passaic -from emptvliur their refuse Into that river, as it poisoned the natural beds In Newark Bay and Ms ten Island Hound. He thought also that tne i49aialatore ought to repeal thu law forbidding seine ashing In Prince's I lay.

Twenty-nine opium smokers who were arrested In the raid on tbe Big Flat," tn Elizabeth-street, on Bunday evening, stood before the bar of tbe Tombs Police Court yesterday morning. Fifteen of tbe prisoners ware white girls, whose ages ranged from 17 to 27 years. Tbry looked pale and haggard after their night's slumber in station house cell, and many tf them bore evidence of their incarceration, their skirts having marks of the whitewashed walla Their fellow-prisoners, the 11 Cninatuen. talked together in their native tongue. They did not seem the least disturbed, being assured by Mr.

Tom Lee that their lawyer would secure their release. Tbe prisoners arrested were Lung Lee, Ah Pong, Ah Bam, Uarv MoGrath, aged II; Hung Ax, "Stun Hop Sing. Kate IiiwoolL, aged SO; Mary bmlth, aged ID; Long Yung. Charlie Hing, Charles Bina, Dannie Williams, aged Sfi: Louise Leo, aged Zi: Mary MoGlynn. aaed 80; Ellen Winn, aged 30; busle Touer, aged 27r Mamie Myers, aged 20: Mamie Mitchell, saeut 18; Ah Wong, Lung Kia.

The complainant waa Maggie Andarise, a pretty girl 18 years of age. ohe bas been employed by Capt, McCuIlagb, of tbe Sixteenth Precinct, to visit these dens and aralu evidence against the keepers of the joints. Bhe has been engaaed in this work since Dec. 3, con tin lug her attention to tbe Big Plat." Miss Andanse made a good female detective, but when the defendants' eounsel cross-examined her yesterday she btow excited and failed to tell a straightforward story. Tbe result waa that 25 of the prisoners were discharged, and four of them, the proprietors, were held lor trial.

Tbe evidence against tbe latter waft very damaging. Tbe four Jirisoners held were bah Young and tits wife. Jury Young. Ham Hop Bin, and Mary 6ing. In the afternoon the lawyer of Bab Young and bis wife aaked for their discharge on tbe ground that no opium was smoked In their apartments.

Tbe female detective was again placed on the niaiiu. one raia sne oougnt opium there, and swore she saw persona amoking it. Justice White denied the motion and held tbe prisoners. DR. MOMENT WILL HOT GO WEST.

Yesterday afternoon's meeting of tbe New-York Presbytery waa largely attended, it being known that the question of where the Rev. Dr. Moment's church should be would come up for discussion. At present Dr. Moment is Pastor of a missionary ohurcb in Sevonty-aeventh-atreet.

near Second-avenue. In June last the Presbytery decided that a church should be built for that clergyman In tbe same locality east of Third -avenue L)r. Moment and biaconoTegation objected to this, claiming that a church east of Third-avenue oould not be aelf-supportina-. They wanted tbe site to be west of tbe avenue. A committee waa appointed to Investigate the matter.

This committee, through Dr. Vincent, lis Chairman, made its report yesterday. This waa to the effect that tbe population to the east was oom posed principally of Hebrews and Iloman Catholics, and that a church tners probably would not support itself: that Dr. Moment bad taken charge of bis present church undortbe Impression that he would ultimately be located, with his congreiration. west of the avenue, and that nearly all tbe members of his congregation desired the change The Rev, Dr.

Alexander. Pastor of tbe Phillips Memorial Church, at Madison-avenue and Seventy-third -street, said that if Dr. Moment were allowed to move his (Alexander's) church had I letter be sold and the monoy given to tbe Blale Society. There was not room for two churches of the tame denomination so close together. His church could take sufficient care of Presbyterian interests west of Third-avenue.

After a long discussion Dr. Motni nt znado a motion that the Presbytery rescind Au action of June last, by which be was confined to bis present district. Thai was lost. Several of the clergymen asserted, after tbejneetlnir. that Dr.

Moment's flat desuinaa church west of the avenue was uia iw mujnt do iu it more tasbionuble neighborhood. ftCLLVfO bJSEA SEt Dr. John L. Feeiy, Health Officer of the village of Edgewater. Btaten Island, recently discovered what ho believed to be a systematic plan for buying diseased cattle, slaughtering them, and selling tbe meat to dealers iu this city.

On Sunday morning Dr. Feeny learned that Patrick: Degan, of Broad-street, bad purchased bead of cattle that were believed to be diseased. William Uose, Veterinary Health Officer of Kdgewater. was sent by Dr. Feeny to Degan 's Place, with instructions to examiue the slaughter bouse and the cattle It waa found that tbe rows were diseased.

Pour of them had been killed, and tbelr eutralls were missing. Mr. liose ouud the luugs and other organs buried uudor a Urge manure heap. Health Uffloer Peony and James McNameu, Preaident of the village, held a eonlerenoe at tbe former a bouse. Constable Uoggin was stationed at Degan's place to quarantine the cattle and prevent the diseased meat from beina sold on Btatea Island.

1H-. Feeny. Iielieving that tbe diseased meat would lie sold in tuie city, came here on Bunday night aod raited on Uen. Bhaler, i'resident of the Hoard of Health, and acquainted bim with the facts. Yesterday morninr an officer of tbe Ituard of Health was at tbe Btateo Island ferry when the brat boat oame up from tbe island.

On board were the sides of 11 slaughtered cattle. It was consigned to a Washington Market Orra. Patrick Degan bad coarse of the wagon. He waa arrested, and tbe meat was confiscated and ordered to be destroyed. is believed that the reault of this ease will be the break In up of a clique that did a large and regular truffle in diseased meat that was dis- oi iu uuscity.

DR. FULTON TERT SORRY. Tbe Bejr. Br. Justin D.

Fulton, whose uttersnoea about Romanism at a recent meeting of tbe Baptist preachers have caused much adverse comment, was at tbe meeting yesterday morning. He sat uneasily among the audienoe while the Rev. Walter Beott read an assay oa Hobwrt Halt, tbe Preacher. Then Dr. Pulton waa perorated to address the conference.

He said: "My experteooss 1a ministers' eoofer-eoces in ew- ork has been extremely aad oa the Uoauab question.

(though there waa not than before ns any aot of Congress whose validity wss In quentlonj for the decisions rest upon tbe ground that tha 8 tate statutes were void only because Congress, and aot tha states, was author) uid to paas tbem. It was therefore of the essence ot the decisions wb ch held the Btate statutes Invalid that a similar statute of Congress would be valid. Ju.tlee Miner then takes ap the objeetkras rawed by tb opponents of tne law. that Ibis tax on immigrants bi not in harmony with the elsose of the Constitution from which the power to impose tt is supposed to be derived, inasmuch as It is not for tbe general welfare and Is not uniform. A tax," he ears.

Is uniform wheat operates wit the enmeforee and effect in every place wbere tbe subject ot it is found. Tbe tax tn this ease, which, as far as it eaa be called a tax. is an excise duty oo tbe business of bringing passengers from foreign countries Into this by ocean navigation, is uniform, and operates precisely alike tn every part of the United Btatas where such passengers oae bs landed. But tbe true answer to all these objections ts that tbe power exercised in this tnrtaaee la aot the taxing power. Tbe burden imposed on the shipowner by this statute ts tbe mere incident of the regulation of commerce of that branch of torebrn oommeree which ts involved in Immigration.

The stun demanded of the shipowner is not, striotiy speaking, a tax or duty within tbe meaning of the Constitution. Tbe money thus ralaed, though paid into tne Treasury, is appropriated in advance to tne usee of the statute and does not go to the general support of ibeUovernment. It constitute a fund raised from those wbo are engaged in the transportation of these passengers aad who make profit out of tt for the temporary care of tbe pe-xo-gers whom they bring among as and for the protection of the dtixens among wbom they are landed. If this is an expedient regulation of eommercs by fori rm as and tbe eod to be attained Is one falling within the power, the act is aot void, because within a loose and more extended sense than was ased tn tbe Constitution it is a tax. Another objection to the validity of the act of Congress Is that it violates provisions contained tn numerous trestles of our Government with friendly nations.

Ws are net satisfied that this aot of Congress violates an of these treaties on any lust construe Uon of tbem. Though lews similar to thu have long been enforced by the State of New-York. In the great metropolis of foreign trade, where four-fifths of these psaaengers have beeo landed, no comolaint bas been made by any foreign naUon to ours of the violation of treaty obligations by tbe enforcement of those laws. But we do not place the defense of the set of Congress against this objection that suggestion. We are of tha opinion that, so far as the provisions la the aet mar be found to be in oontbot with any treaty with a turelga nation, tbe statute must prevail in all tbs Judu-ial Courts of this lbs prscue question involved here, namely, a supposed conflict between an act of Con erase imposing a customs duty and a treaty with Russia on that subject, came beiore the Circuit Court for the District or Massachusetts in leori.

It reamved tbe consideration of that eminent Jurist. Mr. Justice Curtis, who. in a very learned opinion, exhausted tbs sources of aivu- merit on the subject, holding eonfllet, the act of Congress i fonuu." (Taylor vs. Atonon noiaing tnat lr toe' were such roes must prevail a Judicial Mum.

a rhirtja Justice Miller thaa reviews the arguments in support of this view of tbe ease and saysi In abort, we are of opinion that so far as a treaty made by the United states with any foreign nation can become the subject of Judicial cognizance in the courts of this country, tt subject to sacb acts as Congress may pass for tts enforcement, its modification, or repeal." After noticing other minor object Ions. Justice Miller concludes as follows: It Is enough lo ssy that Congress, having a power to pass a law regulating turn Wrat ion aa a part of the commertw of the country with iorelgn nations, we eee nothing In the statute by Which it has here exercised that power forbidden by any other part of tbe Constitution." Tbe Judgments to all the cases are stunned, wi. costs. A decision was also rendered tn Uae ease of Chew Heong. olaintlO In error, vs.

the Uptted states, a test esse involving the eoatruotlao of the so-called Cbloese restriction acts of May 6, lMrfi, and July 6, lee. Chew Heong. the plaintiff In error, is a Chinese laborer and a subject of the Emperor of China, lie was la the United Stales on Nov. 17. lhMO, the date of the adoption of tbe last treaty between China ana tbe United Bisies, end be remained tbereie until Jnne.

lertl, a ben be went to Honolulu, returning therefrom to ban ranctson in September bist. As the restriction act of ltvl had not become a law when ho left tbe United States, he aid not. of course, provide himself with tbe oorlinoste which la pinsuiibed as a prerequisite to re-ntrancv. and upon his return to ban Francisco tn heptember. Ins, tha Custom House authorities refused to allow him to land, on the ground that to permit him to do so would be to violate tbe restriction acts.

He thereupon sued out a writ of habeas corpus and brought tbe case before tbe United ritates Circuit Court, where It was beard by Justice Field and Judge fawyer. Tbe Judges were dividod tn opinion. Justice Field holding that a laborer could not re-enter tha United States without tbe certlftoate prescribed bv seo-tiouSofthe amended restriction act. Judge sawyer, on the contrary, bold that a Chinese laborer who was in the United States on Jiov. 17, 1WKI, and departed therefrom prior to the passage of the restriction acts, could return without any certificate.

Tbe udges thereupon certified a division of opinion. Judgment was entered In accordance with tbe decision of Mr. Justice Field, and the ease was brought hers bv writ of error. This oourt holds that the Chinese rent not ion act or May 6, labil, aa amended, requiring a Collector certificate as theonlv evidence of the rlghtof a Chinese laborer to re-enter the United states is not applicable to a Chinese laborer wbo resided In this oountrv at the date of tbe treaty of lo0, hut who left this country before the act of May 6. was passed, and did not seek to re-enter until after the act of July 0, lsX4, was passed; the right of such laborer to re-enter was secured by the treaty ot last), and the court holds that Congress did not Intend to violate the right.

Chinese laborers ho were here at tbe data of tlietresty can be admitted, the court holds, upon soeh evidence as will be competent under tbe general principles of law. The decision of the case here Is beeed on theNrround that the acta of Congress did not necessarily conflict with tbe treaty, and that the duty of the eourt waslf possible, to make the statute and the treaty stand together. On that ground the court holds that Congress oh not Intend by iu legislation to violate anv rights previously acquired under the treaty ot leU Opinion by Justice Harlan. Justice Held delivered for himself and Justice Bradley a long dissenting opinion, in which he maintained that the construction given br tbe msjonty of the court to the restriction acts was In direct conflict with the plain language of both or them and rendered nugatory hole provisions which had been inserted with sedulouseare. the amendatory act," he says, -It declared that the certificate which tbe Cbinese laborer must obtain shall he the only evidence permissible to establish his right of re-entry into the United slates.

This declaration applies to the eerttflcate Issued under either act. By it the door Is effectually dosed to all parole evidence and the perjuries which dally charactsnsa that evidence. Nothing, in my Judgment, eaa take the place of the certificate or dispense with it, aad I see only mischief and trouble following the opposite eoncluslon. Ail the bitterness which has heretofore existed oa the subject of the immigration of Chinese Is borers will be revived and uatenstned, and our courts on tbe Pectus eoast wili be crowded with applicants to land who never before saw our shores, and yet who produce a multitude of wltnaasas to establish their former residence, whose testimony eannot be njsasiL 1 cannot but hope that Congress will at an early day speak on this subject, and declare that a means what tt seams to me bas already plainly A duels loa was also rendered in tbe ease of the Chicago.

Mr. L. O. Martin, fluper-vistng Special Agent, in his annual report to tha Beoretary of tbe Treasury says that the tslisneiit of ids oflloe that undervaluations of merchandise subject to sd valorem duties bad alarmingly increased and that the wisdom and ingenuity ef the msnufactartng and exporting classes of the Old World and of their skillful agents in thia eountrv. war mtUa.mi ways aad means to take every conceivable advantage our tana an," received extensive publleaUoo in this eountrr and Enroaa and isbmiI iaIi.i.

1.1-.-j creat alarm aad const emation among aunufaetarars on um uonunent, who, for many years, hart ntatav talned their American trade in deHsnm of -m tartff and at tbe expense of the United States Treasury. sir. martin adds that tbe Immediate effect of these pubUcatioos has been to augment values ta oou signed Invoices, nod to Increase the revenues from these sources. But no permanent suppression of tha praoUes ot undervaluation can be fiSr.ul,til.ih" of una a. IryJS.

under the pro- taction flf i iruua uae grown up, ThU fn5SifJL L' il 00 kaggeTatloB to state that ii.Ti.ii u.VT wiwiniwu sgauis in ins United states for sale, as dtstlmrutsbed from those of goods actually purchased by American Importers, do not represent more than two-thirds of tbe actual foreign market value of the goods therein described. An of to rlff oo these goods is thus erected by the fraudulent acts of Kuropean nifsw-nrers and their agenta. In fact, the Kuropean suns. fanturer. by tbe notiuous vsluee be places upon his goods for customs purposes, lies tbe smount of Out to be paid thereon, subject only to sush additions as tbe greater or lesser skill and vigilance of the appraising racers may Impose.

An ad valorem tariff without adequate means for Its enforcement and penalties for iu vtoiaUoa mast la-svttably result tn demoralisation to trade and lose to tbe revenue. Even If there was no motive to save duties toe competition between foreign manufacturers for the American trade would lead to fraudulent Invoicing. In a recent case tried at New-V ork, where extensive frauds by undervaluation bad been perpetrated by a commission house, the eourt held that the aetof June ta, 1874. repealed tbe law which provided for the forleiture of tbs value of goods, Aad the ease was thereupon dismissed although tbe Uov. eminent was ready to prove the frauds alleged.

The tendency of other rulings and decisions to preclude tbe Uovernmeni from suing for wh" been peroetrsted, aniens such duties have beea ascertained by proper liquidation based upon appraisers' returns. Under these rulings. If frauds are successfully accomplished bv smuggling or undervaluation, and the facts are afterward discovered, the Uovemmeni has no remedy, aad cannot recover even the amount of duties due. These based upon the provisions of the act of June lit, 1874. which, had tt beea enacted for the ax-pross purpose of enabling foreign manufacturers to elronmvent tbe tariff laws, could not have better ae-eompUshed that obleot.

rk long as that law remains in force the efforts ef customs ofltoers must nniomsi II be eonflned to the proper appraisement of foreign merchandise as tt passu through tbe Custom -loose. But, as stated In previous reports, the only sura remedy for undervaluations is the substitution of spedtiefor ad valorem duties. NOTES FROM WASHINGTON. Wasbucqtom, Bee. a 1884.

It wasaeeaaonof beavtnees an round, lad by Wheat, but other produce gave way very raailfly. Tbe bears had a field day all to themselves, but prices were so low already that aot a few of tbem feared to taka ad-vsjuage of the situation. The trading was mostly local. Tbe early selling was probably done by men who bad got wind of tbe fresh business troubles whieh are reported tn another eoiumn, aad the down turn bad about aeased by tbe time the news waa srencraily known, frovbnons were moderately active and again very weak. Hons were quoted ares, with a aot very huge supply, but the wee knees tn Wheat aad tbe absence of demand for prod act from outside dissussd the market to heaviness.

Tha parsing companies were rather free sailers early in the day, mostly of Pork, bat after they bad disposed of some 7,000 or 8,000 paok-aees they withdrew, aad tbe erowd did the rest of the hammering, fork was the weakest, being tbe article which bad bona boosted the meet arevtousiy. and Lard was relatively arm, the fair offerings meeting Ah good baying by the short. Maata were not much wanted, and the shipping demand was described as very dsll, except for green Hams. The market reacted a little ta tha afternoon, but elossd week at about the lowest prices of tbe day. February pork opened tbe same aa at the dose of Saturday's trading, at 6)a.

declined to til ts. reacted to til SoTTell off to 1117ia. sold ap to tit to, aod closed at til 1714 bid, wuk January at liUc-wloc discount. December etI7Hij90c discount, March at premium, and May at SUtje. premium.

Lard for February declined lDc, to to 70l sold tn KiK. and dosed at tt 7714 bid, wtth January at 7Vr- discount, December at lto. discount-and Mayat 7l. premium. Short Ribs destined lbe to S3 75 for March, and dosed st ti 77H asked, with February et 10a, discount and January at 17jqe.

dav eouiit, while lieosmher was barely be. below January. There waa a good deal more trading all round for March than heretofore. flour waa dull and weak, ta sympathy with When. Tbs trading was only local.

The coaxes mlUatnffs were firmly held, being only In light sonplr. Wheat ia native ana heavy. It declined lUc to 71i4a for January and doeed at lHc, wtth Occam ber at tad. Is eon at. Vbruary at Ht premium, aad May at Otto.

The British markets were publicly called steady, batons private cable said 3d. quafter lower, and new-York was si ok ta company with us, the reason for gloom here being a heavy movement of wheat. Joined lo Lhe general depress loo outside. Tbe receipts to be reported to-morrow morning were estimated all the way from too to 1.000 carloads, and receivers were selling beavUy against it, wluch invited short selling by speculators. Jones and Adams taking tha lead, tbe latter keeping It up afier tha other had transferred his attenUon to Pork.

Tbs snorts tiled liberally at tbe decline, and the trading was more decided tor May than heretofore, tbe passing of Hoc Saturday Inviting large selling orders for lhat month to-day from parties who thought there Is now no reason why tt should not go to 75c At the does there were a few who ventured to hops for a reaction to-morrow. Had Winter Wheat was dull sad declined about lift. No. selling at 7ftc. and No.

tn preferred bouses at tome Tan latter elsewhere was at CecLwilOc. our receipts were nearly twice as large as reported Saturday, and tbe market waa heavy in sympathy with the tons ta spring gredea. Corn was dull and heavy, both ta sympathy wtth wheat aad as a consequence of clearer weather, which Is expected to eause a speedy Improvement la tba Inspection, only IS oars out of the Uk yesterday inspected went Into tne contrast grades, and a total of SMI cars was ex peoted tor to-morrow. There waa very IttUe doing all through, tbe principal trading of the day being the sals of 600.000 bushels by Love for January, of which Murray Melsoa took half and the remainder 8 lied up lot of minor scorta Lave bought a little for the year, apparently to steady the market, and there was a IttUe more doing ta May, but the Serines were not Urge enough to break tbe market badly. The shipping demand was poor, which let onsh lota down about 1c.

and that helped to depress futures. Oar lota of Na sold at UrtcJsUlrlHc-, with No. 4 at 80440. and nothing doing in No. U.

free on board lota sold mostly at iUclAHtc for No. 4 and for No. s. The 5 ear declined fee- to sod nosed at SfMsc, with anuary at tlse. discount and gabruary at sc discount.

May only declined )c, to S6Hi, and dosed at 00940. bid LIVE STOCK IN CHICAGO, Chicaoo, Deo. 8. Owing- to the-comparaUvely small supply of such grades of Cattle as shippers seek the market lo-daj was stronger. There was good da.

mand for New -York, Boston, aad intermediate points, and but for tbe fact that tha new srh Tints of advanced freight rates want into affect to-day CatUe would bsvs sold eonsideraoly higher thaa but week's dosing quotaUona Fverythlng that shippers could safely handle was pinked ap by midday at tOat, to U0 for common rough and choice lots. Tba quality averaged rather eonuaoa, and prises below 5 BO got the great bulk of the stuff. There waa a decidedly Brm feeling at tbe tawh. Native Cows and other descriptions of native butchers' stock sold higher than last week, as the supply was moderate and there were not many Taxans to compete with. Hales showed an advance of llMu415e.

and in manjr taeianoas toe. on tba lowest prices tlast weak. Cow went at tl Wifttt seS. Bulls at afkaikfb. and fleers at t4W4 Wolf a Plaeltsar pa ring the latter figure for a load averaging 1.141 a.

The stacker trade was without signs of iifs. Tne supply was light, and tbe demand still smaller. Pew country tuyere were present, and there was Puis doing on speculative account. I'rtcas were Brm at tt -t4 for pour to prune lots, feeders are quoted at 7S4 6U. Taxans were salable at a moderate advance.

Tbe supply waa short of reeentaveraga. and. under a bur demand, prices averaged toe higher thaa naturdBT-aales ware at 40. Bo prime lots were offered. The Hog market was quiet all day.

hut everaewd a little higher than Saturday. It waa strong at the outset- speculators were free buyers early at aa advaaca or ocislOc, and packers were obliged to follow an it. Toward Boon a weak feeling obtained, and beiore the dose all the advantage gained in the morning had been loat. tbe late feeling being quite weak, sales at poor to choice light weight, were at te4 40. and of inferior mixed to beat heavy grades at t4t4 46.

At the dose (4 wi for ligbt and Si 4o fur heavy grades were top prices, salea of skips were at I) MV A targe number of Hags want over, many of them ia ares hands. THE LIVE STOCK. MARKETS. Maw-YOM.
