In tho first place, ho did not curse the Railroad Company for the compliment of a half-fare permit, but, ou the contrary, sont a lotter of .thanks to tho Btation Agont forthe same. His letter to the General ‘Ticket and Passengor Agont of the Northwestern Railroad was not in tho nature of a rebuke, but simply an inquiry why the Company iesuo boalf-faro permits to clergymon and to mon of no otherclasy, and why tho railroad officials changod tho rulo of last year requiring clorgymon to pay full fare, ‘Tho reason ho did not return his half-fare permit was, because be was awaiting on answer that might possibly romove his ecruplca as to tho pro- Prioty of using these half-fare permits, The pieyial letter of the Gonoral Ticket Agent was ‘uli of Scripture and fap, but not of informa. tion, and ha is atiil seoking after it, if nappity ho ny find it, holding tho portnits meanwhile.

Allegations Concerning the Manufac- turers’ National Bank, The McCord Will Case---" Sound in Mind and Memory.” New Suits, Judgments, Ete. THE CHICAGO COURTS. CAPITAL STOCK TAX—TUL OIICAUO & ALTON ROAD A temporary injunction wan granted yentorday by Judges Drummond and Blodgett in the caso . Tho Chicago & Alton Itnil- road Company, Tho bill was filed by a foreign blockholder against the Company and the Coun- ty Collector to restrain tho collection of State And county taxes on the Mailroad Company's capital stock, Reference was mado to this caso yosterday in Tan I'niscnr, and it waa tated that, although the United States Court generally {acla bound to follow tho Htate Huprems Court in Stato matters, yet, aa in the caso decided, the isso of taxation on capital stock was not fairly in ineue, Judges Drummond and Blodgott heard arguments, and finally granted a tempora- ry injunetlon, Attbough thia injunction is not final, yet, as ft wan decided after arguments heard, and as in all other cases of like kind tomporary injunctions havo Leen granted in the United Statea Court, tho waiereuco i4 olmoat unavoidable that the United States Courts will dociare taxation on the capital stock of a compauy to be void. THE MANUFACTURERS’ NATIONAL BANK, James Irons recovered Judgment a short timo ago againut the defunct Manufacturers’ National Monk for $12,403.61, and yesterday filed a» creditor's bill on the judgmont against the Compouy and Ira Holmes, its President, in hich he makea somo revelations, Irona saya the bank closed its doors in October, 1673, having atthat time inits posression $1,600,000, of which 1,100,000 was incosb, Tho asects were at that time in excess of its liabilities, though how much cannot bo atated. The bank went into voluntary liquida- tion, and since that time Ira Holmes has settled with a large number of tho creditors by giving his notes a8 President, and guaranteed by him. ‘A jorge wumber of these notes hove fallon due but have not been paid. Holmes also. a4 in charged, turned. pyor some creditors nome of the least available of the asset of the bank. irons aleo alleges that Holmes hss converted a large part of the bank asueta to his own nse, er that of some of his friends, That his eharo is about $260,000, besides landa, horacs, and other property praviously purchased with the funds of the bank. Tho voluntary liquidation, complain. ant thinks, was only a eliam and a fraud, gotten up and carried on only to cover tho transac- trons of Holmes and the bank, and of disposing of ita assets. At tho time of tho suspension tho bonk bad $493,758 outstanding in Na- tional Bank notes, secured by honds deposited with the Treasnrer at Washington. By some mosns Holmes eettlod with the Treasurer nud gained posession of the bonds, which have since disappeared. The capital stock ts €500,000, divided into 5,000 ahares, of which Ira Holmes holds 1.813 abares, Edgar Holmes, of Rochester, 1,000 sharea, and J. A. Holmes 80 shares, In conclusion, Irons auks that the bank and Holmea may be restrained from disposing of the bank nesota; that a discovery aud acconnt may bo had, and that a Receiver may be appointed for the bank. THR M'COND WILT, CASE. In tho case of Peter 1, Yoo vs. Androw Me- Cord, recantly decided by the Supreme Court. the Jaw relating to tho execution and proving of wills is quite fully explamed. It appeared that Jobn McCord, decoaxed, left tho bulk of his ox- tato to his eizht children, Peter 1. Yoo being ap- poivted Truntee to take charge of it until tho youngest child should come of age, in 1483, Yoo was a frievd of both Jason and Johu McCord, mad tho Istter derived tho bulk of his estate from his brothor in 1570, Yoo took charge of Jason's estat, for John MoCord, under a power of attornoy, The will of John McCord was sought to be sot aeide'on two grounds: Firat, because tho testa- ir Wes not of sound mind ; and, second, on wc: onnt of undue influence on tho ot’ Yoo. ‘The Court vaid that the present case was the ex- hivitiou of s will for probate, and nota case of contesting tho validity of & willunder tho Bratute of Wille, Tho statuta docs not demand that tha invtrament khould ho signed in tha prasence of two or more creilible witneswes,—ouly that 1t be acknowledged,—uor need a subscribing witnees swear, in ‘po many words, that tho testator waa of souud mind and memory. If the testator was of sonnd wind, but of poor or impaired memory, he was of ound mind and memory in the legal sonse. ‘The Court then discussed tho meauing of the words pound mind and memory, citing tho Euglish and American autuorities, aud coming to the concla- #ion above statod. In regard to unduo iuilue onco, they say, It isnot unlawful fora man, by Lonest advieo or perauavion, to induce a tostator to make a will, or to influence the disposition of ina property by will. Buch advice or parsnasion will not vitiato a will mado frealy and from con- viction of its propricty, though such will might never have been made but fur such advice or persuasion.” Tu conclusion the Court romarked that thoy saw no sullicieut reason why the will ehon'd have been refused ndminsion to probate. No prant was given of undue intluenco, and tho willip all ita eas was eminently proper. If wills aro Nuble to be rot sside upon such tostimony as iv exhibited in this record, the privilege of dispout- tion of proporty by will is an uncertain ona in- dood, Messrs, Woldon & Moore and Melville Fuller appeared for the covtostant, and Aver & Kales for P, L, Yoo, the executor and trustoc. pivoncrr, Lins Saltwisch complains that her husband, Ernet Saltwisoh, is hobitual drunkard, and 1s also guilty of uxtremo crualty, for which whe de- wires a divorce, Volko Dorubasch prays for a divorce from Jobn #, Dornpasch on the ground of desertion.
