THEE NEWDERRY FPUBLI0 LIBRARY, Mr. Isham, of counsel for the ‘L'rustees of the Newberry estate, seems.to take a peeul- far vlew of the wotion recently made before the Supreme Court by the Ilon. Junes Me- Cartney, the Attorney-Goneral of ths State, for a rehiearing of the Newberry will case. Mr. Isham Is reportad as characterizing .the movement as * revolutionary ! and a * publie seandal,!” and as Instnunting thet the Su- preme Court will forfelt * respeet and a good ‘publle opinfon ns to the refinbility of its judgment” it [tshall grant the motion that ins heen made on behalf of tho peopls and thus reopen tho case under entirely new con- dittons, Mr, Isham must ses that if the np- plication of the Attorney-Gineral on behalf of tho people presents o proper and legul easo for o rehoaring it will be the duty of tho Court to grant it. ' Tho Attorney-General’s nttention to the publie Interest Involved was direeted to tho case by such men as Henry W, King, €, B, Farwell, N, K, Fairbank, C. M. Henderson, Ehenezer Peck, John N, Jowett, and I, N. Arnold, who urged him to insist upon recog- nition In his ofilelal cupacity as Iublic Prosecutor. 1t I3 highly lmprobable that the citizens we have nanied ywould adviso any procceding that could be properly con- demned as elthor “revelutionary” or “a publie scandal”; and the fact that the At- torney-General at once consented to proceed in tho matter In behalf of tha people 1s an evidence that, ns . Iawyer and g publle offl- cer, he belleved it to be demanded of him in tho line of his duty. Moreover, tha history of tho case fully justifies the courso that has heon taken, and proinises n strong probabil- ity that the final adjudication of the con- troversy will lead to a distribution of tho trust under the new phase In which it Is now presented, It neods but o word to rocall the’ case to the recollectlon of tho public. When Mr. Nowberry died he left his property in trust for the boneit of his wifo und two'unmarrled daughters, Iis will provided that they should recelve the income from his estuts during their llves, and aftor their decease 1t wns to bo divided Into two equal shares,— one shara to go to the surviving descendants of Mr. Newberry’s brothers and slsters, and the ather share to the founding of n freo pub- lis library to bo loented in the North Divis- fon of this city. The value of ono share Is ostimated to be about two and a halt millions of dollars; and, as Mr. Newberry’s will ex- pressly stipulated that the npplicatlon thoreot 10 the free public library should be made *as soon ns the samo can consistently ho done” ufter tho fulfillment of the trust, it is a mat- ter of great fmportance to tho peoplo to ascertali whother” or not tho trust is now ended, and whether or not the estate may now bo distributed and the work ot estab- 1ishing tho library may now be undertaken. Tlie caso was lirst brought fnto court upon ndemand by the hefrs to ono share for dise tribution of tho estate, It was carrled to the Supremo Court, where the verdlet was In favor of tho V'rustees, who resisted he do- mamd for distribution, A rehcaring wiis granted and tho verdict reafrmed. Asccond rehenring was asked for, and four. of tho seven Supremo Judges—Diekey, Cralg, Walker, and Scholficld—granted it. A fifth— Justice Mulkoy—was understood to be siml- Iarly In favor of it, but was ubsent In Europe, T'hig'action secined to indieato that u majorl- ty of the Judges, upon further examination, had satisfied thomselves that tho estate ought to be distributed under tho conditions of the Lrust; but the couuse! for tho Trustees srecently proeured an ovder resciuding the oniter for thasucond rohoaring, on theground that the expiration of the term of court pre- vented the Court, under tho statute, from re- opening the case. ’ T J 'he merlls -of the case are very clearly stated In o dissenting opinion dellyered Ly Justics Walker, which may boe briefly re- stated a8 follows: (1) It Is a role of law that when the duties of a trust huve been performed the trust ends, and there must ben distribution of the fund if oue lias been pro- vided; (2) the trust In this cuse wad solely to assure the fucome of tho catato to the wife and the daughters of Mr. Newberry; (8) both dunghters died without lssuey and the widow lung wgo renvunced the provisions of the will su fur as she was concerned, recelved her duovier fn properly, as she wus entitled to do, und Klwrpb)‘, prevented the executlon of the trust in herease; (4) bence the powers un- the widow Wwere dead, nnd the estate ought to be distributed. - Wa hiave stated the merits and the present status of the case, Now comes anew rle- ment which hns never before been ofticlally represented—yiz.t the rights and Interests of tho publie, ‘The contest for distribution heretofore has heen made o the part of the helra to one share. ‘The peaple are helrs to the other share, which war designed nt the earlicst practicable time to provide thew with n magnificent eharity and a groat edu- catlonal instlution In tha shapeof afreo public lorary. Al previous declslons of tho enso have been in tho absenco of the people andof the public ofileer of tho Htate who represents thom in n legal capacity. Mr Ishatn is mistaken when ho says that *Mr. MeCagg has all nlong-represonted the people from the heginuing.” Mr. McCagg's services may have been engaged by eortaln gentiemen who voluntarily Interested themselves in the publie’s bohalf, or he may have acted from public-spirited niotives of his own. Dutho was not and could not have been tho oficial representative of the people of the State, The Attornoy-General Is tho only person who could appear In that character. . 1o makes hia first np- pearance wow Inn wmotlon for w rehearlnig, and he is entitled to recognition. If'the counsel for the "Trustees have falled’ to in- ctude him nnd the people in tho trials and deerees which have already been had, the fanil 1s thelrs, and the people cannot cquits- by be made to suffer for it The Attorney-Genersl, in his brief accom- panying his motion for u rehoaring, mukes his rights and tho rights of the people very clear in the premlses, The statutes moke It his duty “tonppenr for and represent the peo- vlo of the State bafare tho Supreme Court in each of the Grand Divislons in all cases In which the State or the penple af the State are intercated.” 1le cltes numerous authorl- ties to shiow that tho fund In question comes under the lezal ‘definition of n public charity.

Heneo it is thut in cases of pub- 1ic charity the Court always requires the Attor- uey-General to be made n party to the suit. Chief-fustice Shaw once held, In o suit upon a charitable trust, that *It must be proseented with the sanction of the Public Trosecutor, whose duty it Is to sce that the public interests sustain no detriment.” In- deed, tho authorities are overwhelming in number and explicit in terms which sustain the Interference which she Attorney-Genoral of this Stato has made to stay the proceed- Ingzs In tho Newberry will ease nuti! the pro- ple stall have had a hearing, -So far from belng * revelutlonary,” or in the naturoofa “publie scandnl,” the action taken by tho Attorney-General i3 in every way proper and commendahle, and there 1s ell-grounded Thope that the clenr purpose of My, Newberry to establish o free publle lbrary in this eity at theearhiest moment compatible with the {ife Interests of his widow and daughters may thus he carried out without unnecessary and fmproper delay, NEW YORK AND OHICAGO.

S8ENATOB LOGAR'S BILL, | Yenator Lamar Is tho only Demoerat in the Uvper llouso who has been able to rise above the hates und groveling discomfituresof parti- sanship and utter o word In tav?f of Gen, Logan'a bill for placlag Gen, Grdnt on the retired list of the nrmy. Senator MePherson, of New Jorsey, it 18 true, and to his credit, votea for the bill, but Senater Lamar slono had the cournge to declare that It was a measura fittingly expressmg tha public sentl- mentof the country. Iestated tho factain tho cnso In such terms that the opponents of the bill were left no pretext for voting upninst it excopt that of partlsan malico or persannl hate. When the War elosed, Gen. Grant was mado Generul of the Army, and this was dono with the unanimous upproval of tho whole Amerlean poople. With thas office Gon, Grant was content; he neither sought nor desirod. o chango, Public sentl- ment, however, ealled hiim to the Presldeney, compalling him to vacate his military rank, Having served his country In thecivil ea- pacity to the full extent which tho unwritten Jaw and unbroken precodent of the Republic permitted, It i3 now pro- posel to place him on tho retived lst of-the army with the smmo rank which he held before his almost enforced aceopt- anceof tho Presidency. Thero ean bo no ob- Jection to this bill which might not ns well havo been made to tho bill which originally mado him Genoral. Every cousideration which promptad the original bill equally de- mands the restorntion of tho General to his otiginal rank, ‘This was the presentation of tho cass made by Senator Lamar, and the logle of that statement was irresistible. 1t left no possible roomn for objection, save that Girant had boen a soldier on the Union side and that he had been a President elected by the Republican party, Mr. Dayard, who could woll afford to be eandld,'nnd much better afford to be just, placed his abjoction to tho bill on the ground that, it was invidlous to select one ex-Presi- dent nnd overloak all others, ‘T'his, however, was not a bill to pension ex-Presidents, It was & bl to place w distinguished soldler upon the rotired- list with tho rank he had surrendered in order to servo tho country In aclvil capacity, ‘Fho bill had no relation to Gion, Grant a5 an ox-President. 1o wasin tha publicserviee,with a ranle won by military achlevements uncqualed 1 histor, oflice was a permanent ono.
