and Whereas, the said survey was determined upona quadrangular scheme as far as 155th street, being so fixed as an ample and judicious ex- tension of the city, lea the rest of island to continue in ite natural condition, and to be laid out at the convenience of the residents; and that the highways beyond the limits of the said survey or eo were then subject to the usages and laws of the State and regulated Serre an Whereas, heretofore the Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen of the city of New York acted also as Supervisors of the county until the recent separate organization ofthis Board, and therefore it was con- venient to vest in the Mayor, Aldermen and Com- monalty, 4 various gpecial acts, the usual con- trol over the roads, streets and highways, con- ferred upon incorporated cities and villages, as more particularly specified in the general enact- ment of 1815, reducing and compiling into one act all the laws relating to the city; and that the powers so delegated, however, nowhere prohibit the exer- cise of the authority and jurisdiction in the es mises conferred by the acts of 1838 and 1848, in respect to the ultimate pores of the several Boards of Supervisors, to wit: in cases where tho authority now conferred by law for Jeg out highways “cannot or will not be exercised, hereinafter set forth; and - Whereas, said portion of the county not laid out by the Commissioners aforesaid has been habi- tually neglected, and the convenience and interests of the owzers of property and the public disre- arded in the course of the vast expenditures for improvements within the limits of the official sur- vey aforesaid, the Corporation systernatically re- fusing even to accept the jurisdiction of roads laid out by the residents, and except as to the main and indispensable highways, neglecting to work or re- pair the needful cross roads of this thickly settled neighborhood; and Whereas, that various petition: and applications have been put forth, without avail, by the residents of the aforesaid section of the county, ad- dressed to the boards of local legislation, and also to the Legislature of the State, praying for relief from the uncertainty, Inconvenience and other disadvantages of the mode in which their highways are regulated and determined at present, and that the value of property, the natural beauty and attractiveness of the upper section of the coun- ty, as well as the better accommodation of the pub- lic at large, would be greatly promoted by a revi- sion of the regulations now prevailing, and. the adoption of a judicious system of roads, to be car- ried outin the said section of this county, beyond the surveyed limits of the streets of the city of New York, to wit, above and north of 155th pwreet;

and : Whereas, no exception is made to the exercise of the power to appoint Special Commissioners of Highways by the Supervisors of this county, and no reason exists why relief should not be granted te the wants of the inhabitants of the locality in question, except so far as the special laws relating to the ju- risdiction of the Corporation within the limits of the city of New York may affect the same, and uiso the absence of power in these special acts, or under the general laws, to authorize the right to close any of the existing roads in the said district ;

Sia—Io a late issue of your paper a long opinion of Judge Giles, of Baltimore, deciding a certain suit between Horace H. Day and some persons by the name of dStellman and others, is published. To the advertisement of the opinion, whether it is intended to exhibit the sill of the reporter, who caught it from the lips of the Court, or the legal abilities of te Court that spoke it, I have no particular objec- ion. The facts of the case are theae:—Mr. Day is the licensee of Mr. Goodyear for the manufacture of “shirred or corrugated India rabber goods;" the Naskawannuck Com and I are the licensees for woven elastic rubber goods. Day’s title accrued in 1846; ours accrued to those who granted it to ua in 1844, From 1845 till the present time the owners of our title have been makiag and selling large quantities of goods under it, and Day never pre- tended, till 1857 or '58, that the two rights con- flicted, or that our title was subordinate to In 1857 or '68, however, Day brought some sui on his title against persons who were selling “wo- ven elastic rubber Rooasr: without license from us, and no objection being made, injanotions were ited, of course, againatthem. These suits were in Boston, Providence, New York and Philadelphia. Having thus laid a foundation for an attack upon some real defendant, he began in New York, and I interposed my title asa defense. The cause was argued in January last by Judge Curtis and Mr. denkes for Day, and by Mr. Brady and Mr. Dicker- son forme, and Judge Ingersoll decided that Day's rights were confined to “shirred goods,” and that our title to woven goods was complete. That disposed of Day in New York. He then began in Philadel- hia, aud Judge Grier refused to review the decision ir New York, and Day failed pain. At Baltimore he Thad no interest in the renewed the attempt, and as defendants there, and as no defence was made, ex parte injunctions were obtained, as they had been im ‘oston and elsewhere. At this stage of the pro- ceedings, as I have been informed for the first time since this decision, some agreements were entered into between Day and these Baltimore defendants, (none of whom, by the way, have T ever seen, nor do I know their names, exvept as published in the opinion,) by which they agreed to make up a case for final hearing, and to try it be- fore Judge Giles. What that case was I do not know. The young gentleman who managed it ap- plied to me for some copies of naners, which I sent him; but with that exceptioa I had no connection with it. I did not know that there was to be a final hearing between these parties, or I should not have furnished even these copies. { supposed, until un- deceived by the opinion, that the argument which was to be made the usual one in such casea—~ that is, an argument on a motion to dissolve an in- juction, which would have been the proper motion tomake. But, asit seems, a case was made and ar- gued, as the papers say, by “ Mr. Latrobe, T. A. denkes and C. A. Seward, of New York, with whou the Hon. B. R. Curtis, of Massuclusetts, and others, were associated.” Who argued the other side is not stated, but the public is led to suppose that it was done by my counsel and by my procurement. The fact is that a very promising ponte lawyer of Bal- timore-—Mr. Marshal by name—who knew nothing by experience of the complications of this contro- versy, and whom { did not employ, argaed for the defendants; and Judge Giles remarks that it “ was argued with an ability and intelligence on both sides. scarcely ever surpassed.” The result was as might have been expected—Mr. Day beat Mr. Stellan. If Mr. Day thinks that this way of advertising hia ridiculous Claim is a good one, [have no objection. He has tried it several! times before during tne last fifteen years, and it has always ultimately failed, as it will in this case. The facts of the case are as follows:—~ 1. This was not a “fina! bearing,” except by the consent of some strangers to me, who have no inte- rest whatever in the ttle, and whose consent is just as valuable to affect my rights as the consent of Day is that they shall be ‘affected. 2. Day's is not the older title, but mine is; and it is a title which has been adjudicated by the courts tor the last fourteen years, and is as well known in the Supreme Court as it is to me. 8. There is no settlement of the question, nor any approach to one; it may settle Mr. Stellman’s rights in Maryland, for aught I know, but not mine. When my rights are settled, I will be a party to the record, and it will bo known who argued my canse; and when the suit is decided it will be decided upon something more sub- stantial than the word “shirp,” found ina Scotch dictionary, which seems to have been the chief means by which his Honor Judge Giles dis- covered what Goodyear and Day meant by their contract of 1846, have a suit pending against Day in this district to enjoin him from any further troubling the country with this crazy claim, and that suit will settle our rights. Meanwhile, it may be well for those who sympa- thize with Mr. Day to remember that for fifteen years he has been engaged in fighting Mr. Good- year and his liceasees and has always been de- feated—never yet having succeeded in establishin, asingle point, although he has at times gaine some temporary advantage. He attempted to re- pudiate this very shirred goods license which he now claims under, and swore it was void, and was defeated. He attempted to break down Goodyear’ patent, and swore it was void, and was defeated. Te attempted to get possession of Chaffee’s patent, owned by me as trustee for Goodyear, and his licensees, and which he had before sworn was void onan appliestion for extension, and brought neay a hundred spits on it, and was defeated by a decree of the Supreme Court, referred to in Judge Giles’ opin- jon, And a fitting finale to his career is this at- tempt to stretch his shirred Sgpds right, which he has by oth upon sath decMred fraadulent and void, over a subject never included in it; and a cer- tain end of his attempt will be a repetition of his former defeats. The object of this parade of a de- cision in ail the papers is obviou: tis to enavle Day to frighten merchants into paying him some- thing before he is eee by me on the suit pend- ing against him; and [ take this occasion to notify all persons acting with Day that I shall enforce m rights against them, and that they pay him at tite peril. And i further give notice that I will protect any person taking a title under me from any suit which Day may bring. Wititam Jupson. August 2, 1859. TO THB EDITOR OF THB UERALD.

If Thad known that a consented case had heen made up, I shon'd have advised Mr. Jndson to appear in Court and protest against it, so far as his rights might be called in question; but supposing it to be a mere motion to dissolve an injunction, in which Mr, Judson was perfectly indifferent to the result, 1 thonght it not worth while to take any step in it. Ail the infor- mation Thad upon the case when the decision was published is what the public have, and I donot know what papers were laid before the Judge, nor (ex- cept from the opinion) upon what he decided; but as very important papers are not mentioned by the Court, T conclude that he did not see them. Very respectfally, E. N. Dicxerson. Interestlag Experliaeuts with the Cable. ({F om the © evetand Platndeater,] ‘The Western Unien ‘telegraph Company have urchased ten miles «fthe Atlantic Telegraph ca- ble at $250 per mile, to lay across rivers and ba: The first Iaid wa: ross the Mississippi at St. Louis, 2.700 feet. ‘Chis worked well at first, but was a total failure atthe cnd of twenty days. It was then underrun from shore to shore so as to see every inch of it, but no defect was visible. Another 2,600 feet piece was laid, which worked two days only, and failed also; yet there is no defect visible externally. Still another was laid, which has now worked well for six days, About thirty sub-marine cables have been lostthere by snags, anchors, Kc. The company now propose to make one large cable, composed of seven of the ocean cable strands, with stout strands of common post wire laid in the interstices, and all well bound together. This, it is thought, will be proof against snags and anchors; but it will stit! be exposed to the interruption which has destroyed the two unbroken cables; and what is this? The wild lightning from_the sky is not identical with that domesticated and in use by telegraphers. The latter never jamps from one conductor to another, however small the distance, while the former may be made to leap considerable distances to inviting points; and even when wires are overcharged in violent storms, descends in visi- ble fine balls from the wire to the ground. An ex- cessive charge will leave the wire at a point neareat the earth. Of course a submarine wire will con- duct it within one-fourth of an inch, or less, of the water, and an excessive quantity from tho sky will ; et once fly off through the isolating gutta porcha, Beroresing it,and letting in the water so as to lestroy it. ‘To vounteract this, by Mr. Wade’s plana fine colt of capper wire forms the connection at each end ofa subinerged cable, and a greater quantity of elec'iricity than the sub-marine line wilt” bear will met the fine coil, break the current, and thas save ‘© sub-marine line. Employés often repair these melted collaby a “larger wire, so thatit won't melt;” this defeats the object of the coil, and melts the sub-marine line, or flies off, perforating the isolators, which is equally fatal. Fhere is another phenomenon manifest in cutting the cable. However well the end of the cable 1s secured by binding, before itjis cut, the iron wire, almost inimediately protrades one-sixtoenth of an inch beyond the conducting wi ud if a single foot is“cnt off, each end will do the same, making
