Up to the paeaing of tbe ParHamenUrr and Hn- aicipel Xlectiona act, 137 the writ of, snmntona, translated from the ancient lurm, began withaqnaint aad stately recital by the crown that br the advice and aaaent of oar council, for certain arduous and or-.

Then the operetiTe part of the writ proceeded to "com ia aad and strictly enjoin the Sheriff of the county that, "proclamation hereof and of the, time and place of election being first duly made, bo eaoae to be elected, 44 freely and indifferently." two knights of the moat fit and die-treat, girt wth swords and, farther the Sheriff ia to return the names e' the knights so cboeen, and then is to cauee them to come to Westminster" on the day apnointed, "in aacn manner that the aaid Trnlghfs for themaelyee and the -commonalty of tbe aame eoonty may hare from thetn full and aafBcient power to do and consent to those things' which then aad there, by tha Common Council of oar aaid Catted Kingdom (by the bleaaingof -God) shall happen to be ordained npon the aforeaaii affaire, ao that tar want of each sower, or through an Uaoreri-dent election of the aaid knights, the afereaald affairs may in no wise remain -on finished.

In the. gray dawn of llcmlay inorning were assembled at the Revenue Dock, in this City.Ta number ot individuals, mysteriooaly wrapped up, and protected, from the inclemency of the weather. A certain amount of suspicion attached to their movements, bat ultimately, to the satisiaction of the obaervant Police oCcer, they render-roused on board the Government boat Henry Smith.

Tbe craft proceeded down tbe bay, and came to at tbe pier at Tort Hamilton. Here a gentleman ia multi stepped on shore, proceeded to the fort, and presented his credentials to Gen. Getty, oemmander of the post. Some short time afterward detaOa from three companies, X. G.

and of the Third Artillery, under the immediate command ef Capt. proceeded through the west eaUy-port over the banquette totbe dock, where lay the Henry. Smith. The were fuUv equipped, and, in addition to their rifle, aide-arms, aad cartonche-boxea certain details carried. crowbars.

snd ether engineering tools. There were altogether about 120 men. and -at 10 A. M. the Smith, with her freight, steamed np the bay toward After a certain detour the boat was turned down stream, and having described a wide course around Coney Island, so an to deceive parties who wcto anxiously watching her movements from tbe heighte of Fort Hamilton, she.

beaded to the north-east and wended her dntiou way throngh tlie mazes cf the channels I sect the eastern shores of Lob Island. The military were quite st aea aa te their destination, and not until tbe. Henry Smith' had gone into bine water and precluded the possibility of communicating with the shore' that an explanaion was given to Capt. Piper. Then it waa explained that the roree from Fort Hamilton were intended to cooperate with of United States revenue agent, under tbsTlnimediate command of Supervisor Hawley and A rent Smith, sauted by some six eficersNof their department.

TLrough the Intricate passages of Eockaway inlet the Smith steamed on to the pier of the rendering' estaMishment cm Barren liLmd. and, the troops having kept out of view, quietly bore up to the landing-place- Immediately to the right front ia the renderirg sbeda of Frank Swift, of Brooklyn offal notoriety.

The 1 larjjer eetablisbraent. known as Clarke'a was thoroazhly overhanlnt by the trocme. but no-, thing was frond 'to piatifv a'aeiror.

Inthebnildinesto rieht rfir of the ren-deringertabliahiuet, asteam-enrine had been recently at work, and from the sosicioas appearance of the place.

Capt. Piper ordered a German, wbo was represented aa the foreman nf the works, to advaac aad let off the eteexn. Thia he at first reruaed. bat finding his retreat cut od. bv wome half-dozen ugly-lookinir bayonet, with, villainons-looking ndes.

Ao inflection of the bail dm revealed an extensive distillery in full operation, with all tbe an- farteuancee aned-in ilhctt diatiDatioo, ef a moot eost-v material. Tbe windows were doited by horse-hides, stretched acroas the' aa.h, preventing the egress ot tbe light within. It waa alo ascertained that the fires bad been banked up and such measarea Liken aa would cause an explotrinn of the steam-boiler at a time when it waa calculated the military would arrive on tke premiMea. Here were found worms, retorts, i.c capable of running 100 gallona daily, tbr-e large vatt, e-irli of a of lySQO ealloas. and three or four of GOO callona ea.L.

and a daukey-encine. FortvWX barrels of whisky were found un the premiaeaMcides a quaa-tlty of maah and moliea. and other inzredienta uaedain tbe of distillation.

In tha meantime tbe.

When r.h Henry Smith rluied.

A number of empty barrel of tbe pattern n-' ally made to contain wbiakv. were fouaa en board, and ahe waa accordingly eelsed by.

Tbe laboring men were iar barged, but tbe master of tbe scoooBer was held. Tbe troops destroyed every, thing on the island which miht be hereafter used for the purpose of distillation.

Tba pornina character of tha meeting waa noticeably pramineut. 3o ronoutioa of any. party which baa over ham held tn Connecticut has ever beea more diatiav I isiijhgia of the KepobUeaa Party when 77 arty 'enthoataam baa beea more vahemeat-ly displayed. bat rone where a mora earneat, determined spirit baa' beea exhibited. Every ward uttered waa in tbe spirit of harmony, aad this; after aH, is the crest thing which needs practical enfoeoement in the racks of the party here to make victory certaia.

It has been only throogh dirisions that elections have been lost. Tbe defeat of last year waa a forcible Blasixation of tha inevitable truth that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Xow, with a sincere and earnest desire ta all parts of the State to heal up' old wound and forget aU difference, regarctleaa of locality Interorta or fa-dividual prejudices, the jnuepect is a most hopeful one, and tha convention, reflecting the voice of the 'masse of Eepublicant, did it work with a quiet confidence that the ticket and the platform were to be indorsed at the poDa in ApnL Tbe convention wss caKed to order at 10-J0 o'clock by Col. Seldeu. Chairman of the State Committee, and Hotu F.oger Averill, of Daabury, was chosen temporary Chamnan.

Ia a abort aad weU-timed speech, Mr. Averill warmly congratulated the delegates on the hopeful premise of tha campaign. He had, he said, freely conversed with representatives from aQ parts of the State, and had not been able to diacover a single sign of discord. On the contrary, there was a settled feeling of harmony and good wQl in all dlrecUona. .1 i 1 After the appointment, ef Committee on Perma-cent Organization, Credeotiala.

Culc-fle, Staic'ord. Mr. Haven, who, on takin? the chair, was received with great applause, addressed the convention at length. He wa the candidate 'of the party fjr Governor last year, and his presence in the convention was a Teal pleasure to the" delegates, many of whom bad never seen him before, and hia appear anoe as presiding officer was altogether in bis favor, giving him a most acceptable introduction, and his remarks were in good temper; and well delivered. He spoke especially of tbfitaf resalts of divuion.

and aaid that for himself he departed from hia custom of not attendicz tbe State Convention because be was desirous of doing what he could to, secure barmocy. He alluded in very kind terms to'Gov. TnccrwJl; and said thia waa no enatest against men, but against the party with fwhich they wre acting, which party most be Judged by its fruits. Tbe speaker thea.reviewecVth history of the Deocicratio Party, and made a I urcible presentation. He quoted Horace Greeley a opinion of Democracy in'lsTl.

and aaid he threw tbe mantle of charity over that gea-tleman's grave, 1 remembering only the good be hail done, and forgetting the last days of hia lile. when the party that abased him made him its standard-bearer, aad he felt the more charitable because tost er, Clay, and later. Chase, forgot their life-lung prineiplee when once their eye were fixed upon the Presidential chair. He aaid that men were apt in their too great independence to forget what the present Administration had done fur their country and alluded to the reduction of the debt, this lessening of (Mxes, the adjustment with England, and the aatiafactory iolalioi of of the Cnban difflenlry, as matter worthy of com-mendatlcn. In hia closing.

Mr. Haven paid a graceful tribute to Hon. H. B. Harrison, and said that ho had no doubt the convention would respond to the pcpclar demand that he would occupy the first place on the ticket.

The remarks of the speaker were frequently applauded: Following this speech, on motion of Senator HL-mrr, of Middletown, the convention voted to proceed to the nomination ot a candidate fur Governor, and Gen. Pratt, of Wethers field, moved that Hon. H. Harrison be nominated by acclamation. The nomination waa seconded by Hon.

H- C. Sobinsno, of who spoke aa follows: Mr. ChairaaB I me to heartily second the nomination Just -made for tae' very honorable offiee ef Chief Magistrate of our Commcnwealth, aad I secucti it tbe more heartily because the gen lie-man named is one who from Ma youth to the present time has filled a most enviable place in tbe estimation of aU those who have observed him. There are many persons id this city where we are gathered perhaps some within the sound ef my voice -who remember him as a most iadnatriona, faithful, aud popular teacher in one of our" district school. We watched with interest hia hfe aa a student at the university; rejoiced with him when he bore eff the hlgheat honor cf his-clau at Yale.

We have seen him rise from the threshold of hia hoaorable profession to success in tbe higheet chamber. We have fait hia strong presence and great influence in many an hour of public interest and trial, and to every nfidertaking of hi life, be it personal, professional, or political, I make bold to say that he baa brought a clear bead and a pur heart, and in these days, when oar public place cry aloud for men of character and ability, we can all feel assured of a response clear a a trumpet from him. Let me express aa earnest hope and a belief almost aa firm aa a ecnvictioo, that ia the- nomination and election of Hon. Henry H. Harrieoe the local quarrels which have sometime estranged the two chief dtiee of our State will find a grave from, which there 1 no resurrection." Great applause.

Mr. Harrison waa thereupon aoaunated by acclamation, amid great enthusiasm, aad Messrs. JHobia-on, of Hartfuru. and Baldwin, of Sew -Haven, were appointed a committee to inform him of hia nomination. Kb) eh they did by telegraph, and received the following reply: I Xbw-Hav-, Feb.

Woodward, aad A. J. Garvry, caaae up for rasrgumeat ia th Court af Appeals today ea appeal from the judgment ustaining the demurrer. Mssar. O'Coaor, Tildes, and Peekham ppeired for the people, aatl' Messrs FaEertoa aad Kant for tarpoedcit.

Th rrrument was 6n the following question FW-st Waa the title to the money, which ia the aubject ia controversy, in the County af New-Tork Steutut It the mosey waa the ajo'y of tbe Couaty, tn tbe Board of Supervisor maintain aa action fur tbe cause stated ia the complaint ia behalf ef and for the bene fit of the County Mr. O'Coaor proceeded to addrce th court, aad ia th opening pcrtion of hia argumeut expatiated on tbe grav aatnse and importance of tbe iasuea b-volved ia the questioa to be determined. The de-' aaioa ef the court woalil determine whether we bad, under cur inrm ef goverument, om-msne ticiilor- to those which existed formerly iai England, cr whether, as he believed, tbe autherity of the State was paramount Discussing tbe flrst point. Was the tills to the money which ia the subject of controversy in tbe County of Xew-Terkf Mr. O'Coaor cos tended that the money waa never intended to go to the County at all for general purpose.

To the Control-, ler alone waa girea charge of the matter, ia regard to the Issuing of tbe bonds, and the payment of tha money to the holder of the certificate. Counsel quoted the section of the act of 1S70, bearing oa the aubject, aa follows AU lialHltie agaiaat the County of. Xew-Tork la-eurrad previous to the passage of this set shall be au dited by tbe "oarer. CoutroUer, and present President of tbe Board of Supervisors, and the amount which are nd to be dae shall be provided fur by the issue of revenue bonds of the County ef Hew-Yerk, payable dur- 'ing tae year 1871, and tbe Beard ef Buperrieers shell tbe ordinance levying tbe taxes fur tha year 1371 aa Wouat sufficient to pay seal bonds and tbe interest thereon. Such claims shall be paid by the ControUer to the party or parties entitled to receive tbe mat, upeaNtbe certificate of the officers named herein." It waa apparent that the Controller waa cole agerof the process, aud that no Board of Snper-viaora had control la tbeNnatter.

Theasouey-raiaed certainly did not belong tothe Board, of Supervisor. It certainly did aot belong yto the hoad-holdera. If at any time hhf longed to the Controller, certainly it did not aftihe bad paid it away. To whom, then, did it belong. He thought that if to anybody it belonged to holders of tha certificatea.

False and fcaudnleut aa those certifl-eatea were, they yet gave the holderaNa technical claim upon the money, and iu hi (cotinael'i) criuion, rthe caw of tb peVul waa a common law action fcr damage, brongot the State aguinat the ennapiraters who gave the fraudulent certificate. Too-argument denyinz the right of the State to sue was untenable ClUea. be contended, were nothing 1 mora than- mere civil division of the. State, and -their, officers could exercise no powers beyond those conferred upon them by 1 the legislature. There never has been, within the United since our secession from Great Britain, or, at aQ tka State of JTew-TorL.

any comity, town, vlaget dty, or other local district, whith was, la judgment of law, anything else than a public civil division of the State's territory, fbtmed or recognized by tbe sovereign power for public purpose. and for tbe mora convenient distribution of the power of government or a4lminl.1t ration. An! there never wae in or assigned to any of theie civil divisions, a law. ful office, or officer, or a corporation, or quasi corporation, or other entity, established cr recognized fur govemientai purpose, that was not. ia every' sense, public and amenable to the aov-ereign power of the state alone, fir the faithful ex ercise of it pcweia including the receipt, keeping, and disposition 6f all fund entrusted to it.

or that waa, in anj-aenae whatever, the agent, servant, representative, or fa-ustes of any Individual person, or act or claia of persons. The effort of the defendant to Utpiive tbe State of the right ta cue were In keeping with all their acts. It via the resource cf aet of rogui-a, who, driven to -bay, sought to get a sharp poiat in law that would aave them from answering at the bar of jostle. If those were successful In their device, and the principle established that only tha local authorities eouhl ue. there would be a failure of Justioe.

No earnest proecuticn would be made, aad the utmost that could be expected would bo that a miserable compromise, by which the delinquents would escape by paying antr a portion of their plunder. Discussing the character and powers of the Board of Supervisor, the learned coonael said that the act of 1S70 denuded the board of all ire tense of being a governinz body, and. left it a aere contingent remainder of the previous beard. The act maie the board, as it were, the administrator to tbe affairs of a defunct insolvent debtor, aad nothing more. And yet that waajthe body which tbe dfrnuanta in their desperation set up to challenge the right of the State maintain the present action.

It wa important to consider that even if the county rceevetMT a judgment for the 16.000, 000, the Treasurer of the county could not receive it under any law of which he (the counsel) was aware, and even if he did receive it, he could do nothing with it, unless authorized of a apecial State law. 1 'The Board of Supervisors of Xew-Tork waa not, in fact, within the general system. of the other counties, aad. by consequence, not incorporated. It right, therefore, to bring a suit of the present character cannot be maintained.

Ia concluding kit remark, Mr. 0' Conor said that he and the counsel associated with him had don their. best ia the interest of the people, and if there wa a failure of justice the fault would not rest at their door-- Mr. Boot, on the part of the respundett, aaid that he had hoped that -the nnpleaaaa't feature which had characterised previoua-diacusaioa th points at issue in the case would have bean eliminated from the preseat argument. Tbe aHuaion to the incarceration of the defendants, of which th learned counsel had so ingeniously apbken, might, he thought, have been spared.

The question, to be determined waa a purely legal one. In hia view, the money, the subject of the controversy, wa taken from the Treasury of the County of New-York bv the defendant. At tbe time it waa taken it was oa deposit in the National Broadway Eank, to tha credit of an account kept by the County Treasurer of said county in his official character. It paid oat by the aaid bank for aad. on btihalf of tbe aaid County Treasurer, and to tbe" debit' of hia aaid account npon warrant aigned and cotwteraigned, aa warrant for the payment of eoonty money are required by law to be.

Such payment were, it ia alleged, received by and divided among the defendant. No matter how it got into the trecaurv, ao locg a it cam there in formal compliance with law. it waa in th posseseicn of the county. Ca-lea It is "clear, from, tha cireamatanoas through which thia money came into the County Treasury, that some persoa other than the County had title ta U. the first- questioa most evidently be answered ia the aSirmative.

Counsel ia conclusion coatendad that the Cotiity of Xew-Tork waa one of the original countie of too State, aad waa uca when the Bevised Statute were adopted, and he quoted act of the Legislature a to it right to au. If the mocey taken belonged to tbe County, then the liability to return it waa a liability to th County, aad the daasage deme by taking it wa a damage to tha County. Thia is certainly true, aa a general propoaUioa, aad whoever assert that it ia aot true jn-ehT ease should give some oatisfsrtnry reasoa for the exception. A suit upoa this caa af actioa by the Beard of Supervisors dae involve a presentation of tax-payer to just tha extent cf ail anil by Board of; Supervisors by virtu the ataiaie. Mr.

TOdcn followed oa behalf of the people, and argued that by the ancient aad existing comaaou'law cf England, every publie. officer haviag the trust of the disposal, or application, err custody of public money, or property i acoountahis or a breach of his trust in aa actioa by the crown, uprose ted by the Attoraev General.
