Judge Blodectt decided the case of the New York Mutusl Life-Tosurance Company ve. Sextus N. Wilcox, Involving some important questions as to tie powers of a corporation. The suit was bronght ou s promissory note made by O, IL. Cronkbite to Merrill & Ferguson for $10,000, and dated June 25, 1875, 1t was guaranteed by Wilcox and as- signed to the Tnsurance Company. Two defenses were ect up, firat, that the note in‘qucstion was in Sactgiven for alonu of money by the Insurance Company to Cronkhite, and that Merrill & Fur- «uson were made pavees only as a matter of for, Second, that the Company was required by its charter’ to invest its money wholly in honds and mortzages on anincumberéd real estate i New York, of m stocks, and, Lhis being a loan of money on uther security, the Company was transcending its powers, and the sccurity given by Wil-r cox 'was wholly void. The third defense was that at the time Cronkhite horrowed the ey in question lic assizned a8 collteral secur- ity hisinterest m the_cominissions to which he as ogeat of the Compuny was and wonld become en- Gtled and in #uch renewals 13 skould be collected Ly bin, and that the Company had colleeted large sums of money suflicient, i fact, to pay the amount of his note, which ougbt to be applfed in extinguishment thercof, thereby releasing the guarantor. “The Judge held that, while the evidence showed 1o Lis fatisfaction ihat the transaction out of which the nole arose was a loan of money by the Insurance Company to Croukhite, yet it did not lie in the wmouth of Cronkbite ur his surety 1o objcct to the note on the 2round that the loan was made in violation of the Company's coarter. AS to the third defense, that collateral sccurity had been given, the Court hield that it conld only be made availavle ma’ court of cauity, if at all. - Judgment was therefore ren- dered in'favor of tne Company. ORVILLE . CHONKUITE. _Judge Blodgeit zlsu decided the case of the New Yoris Mutual Life-lusurance Company vs. Orville 1L Cronkhite and Sextus N. Wilcox. This wae o suiton a bond given oy Cronkhute for the faithfal performance Of his duties os agent of the Compavy, with Wilcox as surety. Therc were three délenses set up, lirst, that the bond was second, that it was obtained by fraud as for as Wilcox was concerned; and. third, that the Company had surrendered other sccurities whereby the surity was released. The facts were thials blank bond was eent from New York to Cronkhite and was stened by Wilcox before it was filed wp with more than the smountof the penalty, 000, It was subsequently filted up and sent back 1o New York. Jndze Blodeett held that there heing no notice to the Company or knowledge that the bond was sizned in blauk 1t was. a good bond. As to the second and third poinis the prool ehowed that some time 1n 1873, Cronkhite was in defzuitto the Compsny. Instead of removing him, the Company accepted 28 security for his defalca- tion & trust-deed on some property in Chicago to tho amount of $30,000, atthoush the defalcation was much lese, Hefore Augast, 1874, the defal- cation was nearly all paid up, and 8000 after hav- ing paid it ail_up Cronkhite was silowed (o give 8 new bond, which the did, it being the boud on which the'present. suit was brought, with Wilcox a8 surety. After this bond was given, the remain- der of the prsor_defalcation was paid up and the trust-decd canceled. The Judge held that there being no notice or evidence brought home to the Company that the deficiency in fact existed, or that the Company kmew ot the time ~ thar it -took the new bond that Cronkhite was in srrcars, the objection could mot be sus- tainea. The Ianguage of the bond was sufficiently broad to cover back as well as future arrears. It was not shown that the Company had allowed Cronkhite o act as agent after hie defalcation was known. The exumination of Cronkbite's aflairs in June, 1875, tended to show that his accounts were correct ot that time. The judzment was, therefore, in favor of the Company, the amount due being fixed at $17, 000. TAX CERTIFICATES. The mandamus case of ke People, exrel. Wy- man, vs. E. F. C. Klokke, to compel the lutter o isxuc 10 the relator a tax-ssle_certilicate upon proverty which was not rold at_the last tax-sale, but which was fureited to the State, came up yos- terduy for hearing before Judge Mcallister. The statute anthorizes any person to go in, aud, upon depositing the mouey, then the Clerk or Treasurer shull issue to him 'a certificate of sale, which shall have the same force and eflect a o tax-sale in the ordinary way. A demurrer was filed to tac pe- tition. Judge Wallace, County Attorney, appeared for the Clerk, and Mr. James Root for the owners of the property. Judge Wallase raised the point that the Clerk is required by the law to include all such forfeitures in the next tax return after the st of November. and this wae so included, and that. therefore, no ‘person could get this certificate after that time. ' Mr. Root raised the pom that the Constitution provides that ull sales for taxes must be made by some general officer, which n this casc is the County Collector; that this was in no kense 1 sale, bucause a sale implies a motice, ixing time and place, with the description of the land to be sold, and the smount of taxdue on it; that the theory of our Government was thal the citizen iy not required to contribute_uny more thun_is necessary; and that be hus a right' to have compe- tition at the fale, in order that the least umonnt of lund moy be rold, u in other casce: and that uny attempt o call anythingclse a sale would be a violation of that ‘provision of the Constitution: and that, in fact, there wus no_sle, because o judicial gale means in market overt. Judge McAllister took this view of the case, and held that it was not a fale. MILITARY MATTERS. ARMY HEADQUARTERS. Several military oficers, en route to varions points, were in the city yesterday, and paid tkeir respects to Lieut.-Gen. Sheriden and stafl. Amonz those who appeared at head- quarters were Gen. Crook; Col. liouston, in charge of the Engineer Corps at Milwaukee, who was on hia way back from an inspection of the 11- linois Riyer; Col. T. G. Pitcher, of the First Regi- ment of Tnfantry; John G. Bourke, First-Licuten- aut of the Third Cavalry, who came with Gen. Crook; Lieut. W. L. Pitcher,of the Eighth Infant- ry, on leave of absence; and one or two others, 1In accordance with Special Orders No. 6. 15sned from the Adjutant-General's oftice at Washington, March 95," a General Court-Martiul will be beid at Omaha May 1 for the trial of Col. A. V. Kaatz, of the Eighth infantry, and such other persons as may be brought before it. The detail for the Court includes Brig, - Gens. C. C. Angur and Geo. Crook, Cals. C, 1.. Kilburn, Assistant Commussary-General or Sub: sistence; J. IL King, of the Niuth Infantry; W F. Barry, of the Second Artiltery; T. G. Piicher, of the First Infantry; J. E. Smith, of the Nine- teenth Infantry; Rufus Ingals, Assistant Quarter- master-General; F. ¥, Fhint, of the Fourth In- fantry; and Naj. Ii. B. Burufam, Judge Advocate of the Court. 2 pclhe charges against Col. Kautz are mot known ere. There was nothing new at Army Ileadquarters yesterday concerning the Mexican raiders. The Otticers say that they are 4Imost an_every-day oc- currence, and are liable to be so inde us there is'at_present no meansof preventing the tronbles, With an_addition of 5,000 men 16 the anmy, they seem w think that these raids might be ut down, a3 the immense lenzth of the frontier Betiveen this country and Mexico renders it fmpos. eible, with the force now available, 10 batrol the troublesome district. They also say that men from this side of the line make frequent incursions into Mexican territory, thougn they probably do not find a5 much to steal from the,Greasers 83 they do from the Americaris. . GEN. T. G. PITCHER, TUnited States Army, arrived in this city yesterday {from San Antonio, Tex., and put u‘r at the Palmer Ilouse. The gentleman has been off duty on leave of absence for some months past, and_has been ordered te Omaha to attend s court-martial, which commences on the lst prox. To a TRILUNE re- porter Gen. Pitcher stated that, 8o far as the troubles on the Texns border were concerned, they were exaggerated. There had been two mail-car- riers killed at Fort Daviz, and there had been some men killed and cattle stolen on the lower Rio Grande River. This ma- rauding was dome by rencgade ~Mexicans and Lipan Indians. I thinke that Gen, Ord is doing all he can to prevent the raiging, but that he had not troops enough at his command to fol- low the scoundrels into Mexico. Il thought that there should be about 5,000 troops on the Texas border, and that they sliould have authority to fol- low up sll marsuders, and that it would not take long to do it, either, If there were 1zo0ps cnough. 11c anticipates no serious trouble on the border. PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. THE SIXTH A: UAL MEETING of the Chicago Philosaphical Society was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel last evening to elect ofli- cers. The attendance was not a3 large as the ac- casion would seem to have calied for, yet the brain and energy of the Society were well Tepresented. The Committee appointed to make nominations of officers reported the following, and they were unammously elected: Pressdent—Prof. Samuel Willard. Vice- Presidenta—Gen. Bufo: udge Holbrook, Mrs. E. I& Sunderland. Recording Secretary—Edmund Burke. Carresponding Secretari—Miss Frederika Perry, Tyeasurer—C. L. Rawson. Executire Committoe—Prof. Welch, Col. Watérman, M. Jielen Shedd, Mrs. C. K.

Buford, the retiring President, made the accustomed speech on such_occasions,” which_was well received, and the President-clect; Prof. Samuel Wiliard, on assuming hix place, inade an approorate address, returning bis thanks for the bonor the Society hat conferred on him. Capt. Srown spoke in a humorous strain compli- menting the retiriog oflicers, of ‘whom he was oue, and Col. Waterman spoke very much in the same strain of the oflicers elect, of Whom he was one. Both nddresses were racy, suggestive, and inter- esting, and clicited rapturous applause, A lctter of regretat ot being nole 10 be bresent was read from Mrs. Maria A. Shorey, who had been appointed to read a vaper on -t Women a5 “Fhinkers,” after waich short speeches suited 10 the anniversary exercises were made by geveral mewbers. Judge Booth nrzed on the Sucicty the importance of hereafter dealing with the more practical questions, and xaid_there was something rudically Wrong in - the country, which was seen i the fact that willing hands cotilu not-obtuin work at remunerative wages. He closed by calling at- tention to the swork and theeats of the Comuune, which e snid should not be underestimated. Prof. Clarke spoke briefly in the interest of sci ence and or_the vatside inlluence of the Socicty, deprecating the fact that so few young men were apparently interested in its work, and that it bad 50 far amounted to little less than a gathering of ‘mutual admirers. Welch, the Ton. E. B. Sherman, the Rev. ‘Ihiomus, und others followed in specches, and L 10:30 o'clock the Society adjourned to the ladies’ ordinary, where a Lanquet was enjoyed. The tabics were laden with delicacies, and were relieved with great zest and apparent plessure. Alter the banquet. the Sociely adjourncd for the Beason, O recouvene again the Lrst Suturday in QOctober. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. The Connty Treasurer sent S16,080 over to the city folks yesterday. ‘Thomas O'Bricn, on trial in the Criminal Courl Friday cvening for burglary, was yestcrdny found guilty and given one yeur in the Peuilentiary. The water tax for the building for the month of February was $210.75. Considering that beer is the beverage of most of the employes, the tax would seem o little steep. It has been ordered paid, howerer. The Committee of Physlcians appointed to visit the Ineanc Asylum and report on the treatment of the insune have completed theirwork, und have heen invited to - -meet the Committec on Yublic Charitics Tuoesday at 2 o'clack. The substance of their recommendstions has slready oeen foreshadowed, and in the end it is sate to predict that what they will report will nover effect a great deal in the shape of reform, bowever much it may be needed. The Finance Committee decided yesterdoy ad- versely on the contested claim of the SherifCs cef clerk to draw s pay despite the reduction inwalary ordered. by the Lsoard some ume azo. The point at_issue was whether the clerk was o deputy ornot, aud examinining the County At- torney’s opinion and the order of the Jndges as to Bow inany deputies the Sheriff shoula have, it was decided that. the clerk would have to stand'the re- duction. Miss Annic Moore called at the County Clerk's office_yesterday and demanded an explanation. The previous day a license nad been issued to James McDonnld to marry her, but the papers had printed that the license bad been issued to Neal K. Martin. She was confused, and feared there was something wrong, and, aithongh the licensc bore the name of McDonald, she would not consent 1o the performance of the marriage ceremony un- tishegor s cenind copy of the licente. - he trouble came of the fact that Martin, rather than McDonald, had made the afidavit upon which the Tlicense had been fzsued, ond the reporter had blun-, dered in copying names, etc. Commissloner Burling camo over early yesterday morning armed with a reportin refercnce to the Committec's recent visit to the Penitentiary. It said that if the stone viewed was Dedford stone, that stone ongbt notio beused in the Cisy-Hall, etc. In the afternoan it was handed to Fitzzerald, and he tovk it to Mulloy, the other member of the Special Committec, and he is to read it To him to- day, nnd they are to make up their *‘ minds whether they will sign it or not. - The Finance Committee met yesterdsy morning, and Fitzgerald, at the head of L, succeeded in car- ryinga point. ' A week ngo he laid before the Bonrd severai yards of questions in refereuce to the powerof the Boardjover the management of the Recorder's oflice, in iwhich he sought a lot of opinions from the County Attorney. Therc was a disposition to refer the whole matter to 3 Com- mittee, and in the fight as to which Committec it ehouldbe refurred tothe queatious wete Tost sight of. But Fitzgerald is nhead after all, forbe 1 duced is Committee yesterday to ordcr the d sired opinions **for the mse of the Com- mittee,” aud the questions were fubse- quently carted over to the County-Attorney's office. The great financier suys he is opposed to leasing the abatract books in the Re- corder's oftice to Pelezer_or anybody elte, yet he wants an opinion s to the rights of “the gvard in the matter as a question of personal satisfaction. If the opinion sought, however, should be favor- able, judging the fuwure from the pust, it would not ¢ astonishing to sce him voting to give Pelt- zer the books any day. TIIE CITY-HALL. The license receipts were only $600, while those of thie Treasurer were but $1, 685.60. Al the new Aldermen have qualified, Mr. Taley being the last one to take the oath. McCaffrey, although not at all well, went to the City-Hall ina carringe. The following building-permits wer fssued: Jacob Rounberg, four-story and basement Urick store, 205144, No. 168 Lake street, to cost $10,- 000: S. Meisner, two-story and bascment brick store and_dwelling, 25x60, Sangamon and Erie etreets, $2,600; Harold M. Hamen, three three- story and two -story and bisement stone fronite, Seduwick and Centre streets. $16,5005 John P, Duron, uwo-story and busement stonc front, :2x1g, Taylor. mear Aberdecn, $4.600; Teter Barthel, two-story brick store and dieiling, 20x40, No. 595 Wells street, $1,800. The Mayor, Corporation Counsel, Comptroller Farwell, ana Ald. Cullerton had a conference yes- terduy ufternoon in_reference to reappropriating the unexpended balances in the Treasury, 50 that the momey cam be used at once. While the uncspended — balances are verv lurge on vaper, perhaps mot_over $250,000 of " the §750,000 in the Treasury would be available. Tne Comptrolier doesn't think the Council has power to do auything about it. Hav- ing bevn_appropriated for u specilic purpose, the money, in his opinion, must be uged for that pur- pose. The Mayor is in doubt un the subject, und he has asked Mr. Bontield to exumine the question and give an opinion. If it can be done, a majority of the Aldermen would undoubtegly favor it, since §250,000 would give cvery city employe two montas’ salury in cach, and ennbie them to hold on 1o Jife until something else turned up. CRIMINAL. Justice Foote had anothier vagrant before him yesterday, and again the €100 and costs penalty ‘was dealt out. Thomas Donobue i the man.
