The Vinten Case—Argument en the Appliea- tion fer Ae- counts as dian—Applicant’s Reply to the Amended An- ewer, &e. Before Surrogate Veeder. Chartotte A, Wynns os. Francis Vinton —This case came up before Sarrogate Veeder yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, when Mr, William C. Traphagen, of counsel for applicant, submitted his written argument im the matter of the petition for the reopening of the accounts of Rev, Dr. Vinton as executor and trustee of the estate of Thomas Wynns, deceased, Mr, Trapha- gen’s argument was a very lengthy document, of which the following is a brief abstract :— In the opening pages counsel entered into the conside- ration of some particular exhibits which had been at- \ached to the answer of lent, These exhibits were in the torm of letters, certificates, &c., from former Surrogates and others, in reference to the executors charges, which were considered reasonable by them, Counsel had moved to strike out these exhibits from the answer, on the ground that they were merely hearsay and not properly atiached to the answer, The letter of one Betts was almost a panegyric of Dr, Vinton’s per- sonal virtues, “and might weli come from one who bas himself received $10,000 or more from this estate.’ lt was also claimed that they contradicted the records, Mr, Traphagen then passed on to roviow the merits of the application, and as to the power of the Surrogate to open a default which was sustained by the Citation of cases. The only possible question, he ‘thought, which could arise was as to the appearance of items ip that account against which they could file valid objections, In maintaining that there are such, counsel stated that there were one hundred and eleven edjectionsble items arranged under the heads of ‘“cur- rent expenses,” ‘time of trustee,” “erroneous computa tion of annual commissions,” and ‘charges for time spent in the capacity of guardian.” To current expenses: he objected to the sum of $495, because they were not accompanied by vouchers and merely estimates. To allowances for trustee’s time, he objected on the ground that there was no authority for any otber than siatutory compensation; and the errors in computing the anoual commissions were manifest. Mr. Trapbagen then went on at great length to consider the iiems, commenting upon each one, citing numerous authori- ties, and the custom and practice in each duty, and dwelling severely upon the charges, some of which he termed gross and discracetul, Counsel stated that in more than twenty places the accounts showed that the same days must have been charged. He referred to the most disgraceful charge of ail, as that in the ac- count filed November 5, 1868, Item 58, was a charge of $262 60 as annual commission upon the annual income. A simple caiculation would reveal the fact that the income accordin, to this would have to amount to $9,500, Dr, Vinton’s own accounis showed that the incom: for the year ending September 2, 1865, did not perceptibly differ trom the figures in the ailldavii—$4,879, Counsel knew that he should, bo met with the arguments that the commissions allowed by siatute were a totally inadequate compensation for the services performed by the executor and trustee; that the time necessarily spent in the management of the estate had engaged such an amount of time as calied for ad- ditional compensation. They replied that the sum already received by Dr. Vinton amounted to $7,695 or thereabouts, in addition to the claim of $6,000 or $7,000 more which he holds is due him in his guardianship capacity. ‘The two leading points in the case are dis cussed at length and their atlirmation sustained:—1. 1s the petitioner entitled at this day to file these objec- tions nunc pro tunc and to have the decrees reopened and resetiled ag tothem? 2 If so, aro the objections well taken? Mr. Traphagen concluded his lengthy argu- ment with the following:—‘The trouble in this cave has arisen from a violation of a simple and well known principle, #o beautifully and concisely stated by the Redeemer in His sermon on the Mount—‘No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love tl ther, or else he will hold to tho ene and despise the other; ye cannot serve God and Mammon,’ ”” The following reply to the answer and amended an- swer of the respondent was also filed yesterday :— Kins County Surrocate’s Court.—/n the Matter of the Final Accounting of Francis Vinton, Executor of and Trustee Under the Will of Thomas W'ynns, act To the Surrogate of the County ot Kings—The reply of Charlotte Arthur Wynns to the answer and amended answer of Francis Vinton, executor and trustee of the estate of Thomas Wynns, deceased, respectfully show- eth :—That your petitioner has been mformed and be- lieves, and therefore denies that those’ citations issued to your petition upon the accountings sought to be re- opened berein were daly issued and served upon your Teta down in the practice of te Berrogaiea" Courts, and wn in the practice rrogates’ would be without the proof service of the citation of the accounting of the year 1860, issued your petitioner, as defective.

And your petitioner further says that she has beon informed and believes that there are no vouchers on filo for the items of estimated expenses of stationery, fuel, lights, &c., and that the allowances of the same, without such vouchers, were irregular and void.

Bishop, one of the parties in the pending ivorve sult of Bishop va, Bishop, stayemenis concerning which have from time to time appeared in the press, Was brought up before the Court of Special Sessions yester- day, op a charge of assault and battery pre‘erred against bim by bie wife, Eleanor Bishop, ‘The complainant testified that on Saturday, the 1st of June, she was passing up Broadway, when she met the accused, who charged her with following him, and said, “If you follow me I) murder you, I am going to Clara’s, and you can’t stop me,”? She got into a car passing down Canal street, and Mr. Bishop sulsequently entered it, not knowing she was there. Mrs. Bishop also testified that the defendant sat opposite her in the car, and that she held up before him, while so seated, photograph of “Clara.” Mr, Bishop left the car and en- fered another one; Mrs. Bishop followed him, He then left the second car and entered a third, when the com. plainant iollowed hmm again, The parties were now in Greene street, when Mr. Bishop lett the third car and took refuge in a building, ‘he complainant shortly after- ward passed by this ballding, and the defendant, she alleges, rushed out and struck ‘on the arm with bis cane, creating a bruise which produced much discolora- thon of the skip, The complainant testified also that Mr, Bishop said he was not afraid of anything she might do against him, as. he ‘could bay up all the judges and jurors in New York with his greenbacks.”” “An oflicer, sbe further swore, came up after the aseault was com- mitted, when the defendant asked him to take her (the complainant) into custody, but as she averred © the iceman that defendant had strack her, and solicited is arrest, 1u was made. Defendant then became excited and raised his-cape menacingty against the officer, who ‘thereupon drew his pistol and threatened 0 use it if he (defendant) struck him. The defendant then submitted to the arrest and was taken to the Mercer street station house. - On being commitied ‘the threatened,” said Mrs. B., “that he would put me in Sing sing.’’ being cross-examined the nant testified that she left her hushandon the 20th of Juiy, 1865, and that @ suit for divoree had been pending between them since March, 1806, She moreover said that Mr. Bishop bad no lady with him on the Saturday when the assault was committed; that while going wp Broadway abead of her he was pari of tho time in company with Mr, Dyott, his counsel m the divorce suit, and that when he assaulted her she was standing beside the door of the buiiding at which he entered. She admitted, also, that by order of the court Mr. Bishop was required to pay her $50 per month during the pendency of the divorce suit Oilicer Dabigren, of the Fifteenth precinct, corrobo- rated the statement of the complainant as to ie conduct of the defendant when he (Dabigren) arrested him; did not see the assault committed; made the arrest on cow- piaint of Mrs. Bishop. ' Michael Ryan, a car driver, testified’ that defendant got on the front platform of his car, and when the com- plainant hailed bim (Ryan) defendant said, “Don’t stop;” but witness told him he should stop, us the iady desired to ride. Witness also testified as to the delond- ant’s getting of his car and being followed by the com- plainant; that he got on and off # second ime, she fole Jowing in each instaace, John North testitied that between four and five o’clock P. M., on the let of June, the defendant ran into his engine shop, 52 Greene street, and went to the rear end of it, saying that a woman was following him and ho wanted to get away from ber; that very shortly alter- wards the complainant came in front ol the shop and stood there; that the prisoner went out, and as he passed by complaiaut pushed ber aside; did not see any biow struck. Joseph B, Trainor saw the officer make the arrest, bat knew no more coucerning the difficalty, Walter Hardy testified, in substance, as follows: —Was in Mr. North’s sbop on Saturday afternoon, tbe first of Juno; the prisoner rushed in, and said, as he passed vo the rear, “A woman is following me, and I want to get away from her—hide me,” or words to that effect; no- ticed the compiamant, in @ few minutes thereafter, standing in front of the door; prisoner soon after icft the shop, passing by the complainant, who still stood near the door, as he went out; he did not strike her, Witness afterwards saw the prisoner taken into custody by the officer. Charles x. Spencer, counsel for the defence, then ins troduced tho following testimony as to character:— Jobn Boardman—Had known the dofendant for two years; both complainant and prisoner hved with bim jor tour months; prisoner’ — character was good ; knew the complainant also about two years, [ln answer to aquestion by defendant’s counsel as to the general character of the complainant for truth and veracity this witaess replied, “She draws on ber imagination a good deal.”’} heard others speak of her in this connec- tion in a similar manner. ‘Mesers. W. K. Giynes and Levi Morris, merchants, and Mr, Richard Amerman, City Surveyor, also testified of called on ee eens ee ee say it was bad. id not know what character he bore among his neigh. bors and associates in the community in which he ‘The evidence was then summed up by Mr. Spencer for the defence, and by Mr. Gunning 8 Bedford, Jr., fier wich Justice Dowling’ proceeded to pase sehtonee ir whic! ow! He eaid he did not at all apy of the action of the complaiaant in following up the prisoner, as the test. mony disclosed she had done; but he was constrained to hold that the alleged aseault had been full; proved, If the prisoner found himself followed, dogged” about, or molested “by tho complainant, bis wife, he should have applied to the police for protec: tion, and not have attompted to punish her by an assault in a public thoroughfare, Such action tended to a breach of the petee, and it became bis duty to punish it as such. He should therefore sentence the prisoner to pay a fine of $50, and to be imprigoned in the City prison for five days, Defendant’s counsel endeavored to have the imprison- ment remitted, as, he said, considering the provocation that bad been grven, the imposition of the fine we - ficient punishment for the assault. Another considera- Ucn prompted him to make this motion: the trial of the divorce suit between (hese parties was set down for ‘Tuesday next, and it Was becessary to the securing of the prisoner’s legal riguis in that action that he should be at hberty when the cave was called, Justice Dowling refused, however, to alter the sentence he bad prouounced, and Mr. Bishop was thereupon con- ducted out of court im the custody of an officer.

GROWLS FROM THE COUNTRY PRESS AND OTHER SOURCES. The Albany Evening Journal continues to growl at Thad Stevens for his confiscation policy. It avers that “Mr Stevens anticipates the interpretation which must be put upon his motives, when he says that no compen- sation will be claimed tor his iron works, But he does not assert that none will be received. And he knows perfectly well that when the precedent bas been estab- Mshed of paying for losses sustained out of the property of the rebels, his own case will not be made an excep- tion. His assumed self-abnegation therefore amounts to potbing.”” The same paper is also growling at Henry J. Raymond for what it aileges to be his misrepresentation of the re- It avows that it has “no disposition to persecute Mr. Raymond on account of views he bas en- tertained in the past,’ and continues, “If he proposes to act with the republican party, and do battle tor its publican party. principles, we shall be happy to welcome the alliance, But we submit that misrepresentation of the party is not the best proof of sympathy with its objecte.”” ‘The Albany Argus is growling at the republican press and republican orators for getting up what it calls the “at has served to keep the country agitated to compel the Presi- Gent to make compromises, to give notoriety to a few impudent mountebanks, and to add to our oational “jmpeachment humbug.” It declares that disgrace."’ The New Orleans Times is scolding its Republican con- temporary because that journal, ‘claiming as its special mission the guidance and enlightenment of the newly enfranchised race, should not only approve of such con- duct (riotous demonstrations), but advocate a repetition of such dangerous displays. The blacks are of an ex- citable temperament, and, in the present ignorant con- dition of the masses, easily led into excesses when once their enthusiasm is aroused ; consequently such counsel must be regarded as in the highest degree criminal.’ Some of our contemporaries, says the Galveston Bulle- tin, are growling like mad over the imperfections of the tolegraphic copy of Mr. Stanbery’s opinion. We are not apt to praise the telegraph on small provocation; but to be just, we must say that we see no cause for grumbling. The “opinion” is a difficult document to report. Upon the same topic the Galveston Civilian has the following growl:—‘‘The Attorney Goneral’s opinion on the Reconstruction bill seems to disappoint our New Or- Jeans contemporaries as much as ourselves, It is objected to as being vague, prolix and wanting in directness, ‘The telegraph doesfnot appear to be wholly responsibie for the want of meaning in some of its parte, The papers attach no importance to its effects, save as it may receive force through new orders from the military.’ The Richmond Jimes ie growling at Secretary Seward in this manner:—‘'He managed to get nd of Maximilian, who was a Christian gentioman, and has a demoralized, marauding, bloodthirsty republic of Mexico upon his bands, which scoffs at his advice, snubs his ambassadors and is thinking of nothing but brigandage, military executions, forced loans and the persecution of foreigners.” Toe Richmond Whig bas a grow! at Thad Stevens for his confiscation pohey, and predicts that ‘five years hence Thaddeus will, if living, be ready to deny that he ever favored confiscation. ’’ The Charleston News growls about political doctors, der the text of ‘Political Vivisection.”” It avers that “the South is boand down on a dissecting table. The knife, not always very sharp, nor invariably wielded by ‘kilfal manipulator, is thrust into our very vitals. How the victim fares during these experimental operations, who cares? Our doctors would not be guilty of such ‘amprofessional’ conduct as to heed groans and cries’ The Vicksburg Heraid is growling about the evil ef- fects arising from holding publio meetings in the coun- try. It saye:—‘These meetings derange everything. Teams are to be bitched up, horses and mules taken from their work and things upset generally. No compensa- tory good results from the consequent loss of time."
