L BLATCHFORD. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM, Jadgo Barnurd Ruies tiat the Decision of dudge Blatchtord is Mere Dicta. James Fisk Jr, v8. The Union Pacific Railroad Company.—When this case was called yesterday morning Mr. D. D. Field, of counsel for the plamtir rose and said that the atfacuments for contempt were put over tll to-day, at the request of the de- fendants themselves. He did not see any of them in court, and he supposed they did not intend to come, they thought, periaps, because of the opinion given by Judge Blatchford tn the Circuit Court of the United States, that they had better defy the State court, and take no further notice of it. 11 0, he could only say that they were at liberty to do so, but he would certainly contioue to proceed until there was a decision of authority other than that already given. He regretted very much the opinion of Judge Blatch- ford, for he could not regard it as adecision any further than it decided to deny a motion for the stay Of proceedings. Everything else was mere opinion. ‘This was even a more flagrant case of extra judicial opinion than thatof the Dred Scott case, which cre- ated much excitement, for when the court came to the conclusion that it had not jurisdiction it was bound (o stop, and everything that was said beyond that was mere opinion. In tiis case a judge is asked to make an opder staying the plaintuf trom proceed- ing in the State court. He comes to the conclusion he cannot doit. The judge came to the conclusion that if the case were in this court he had no power to stay the proceedings. Yet alter the case had been argued in the State court he declared it to be in the Circuit Court of the United States. Tuat being so, he (Mr. sield) had no hesitation in saying that he would rejort himself as under the order of this court, and siiould obey throughout, no matter what opin- lon migit be given anywhere else uauil there was a decision by a superior authority. He submitted that such an opinion would tend towards tnterferiug with judiciai proceedings, while it marred the dignity of the court. This was @ case where the plaintif! could not sue in the United States court, He was bound to sue in the Supreme Court; but when he came there Congress passed a law to enable the defendants to roceed us they haddone, The defendants got that W passed by the advocacy of a man, who, it was adinivted that Oakes Ames was now a member of Congress and most pertinaceous in regard to this legislation. It seemed altogether to be as indelicate as angthing couid possibly be. Now, after this, to say that the hands of the Judge of the Supreme Court was para- lyzed was to Say that there was no longer that an- cient Supreme Courtof New York which we sup- posed our fathers had left us. When the State court Was tnus paralyzed we were rapidly tending intoa consolidated government, and then our liberties were lost. Now, le hoped and he moved that this Court proceed as if nosuch opinion had been expressed anywhere else. If the defendants chose to prose- cute their appeal at the general term he was ready to go on with it; but until a decision of a ngher authority was given he would ask this Court to pro- ceed and dispose of the case as if no opinion had been given. JUDGE BARNARD’S REMARKS. Judge Barnard then said:—I have read rn the news- Papers sou@ notes (for there is not a fail report) of the observations made by Justice Biatchford in the United States Circuit Court on Tuesday, upon the oc- casion of his denying the motion of the defendants to stay the proceedings in this court. These observations must be regarded as mere dicta, because 80 soon as he came to the conclusion that he could not in any event grant the order there remained nothing else for him to decide. I am_re- lueved therefore from the necessity of disregarding a@D express decision of 80 respectable a judge, thougl candor requires me to say that if sach @ decision had been made upon the question of removal fairly raised, | should still have adhered to my previous decision made upon the point after argument and deliberation. Holding the special term o: the Su- preme Court of the State of New York, I have no superior but the general term of this court, the Court was a stockhoider, for it was avowed of Re gee and the Supreme Court of the Unit States, to whose decision [ shall J. Ways yield respectfui obedience. and 1! shall submit to no other, for sitting here, I am bound to maintain the authority of the State and of the court du wuica | sit, Mr. dJugyce Blatchford appei w be of opinion that in a cORtroversy Broperl¥ pending in the courts of this State between a plantuf and twenty-iour defendants, one of the defendants, with- out the concurrence of the rest, can remove the whole suit into the Circuit Court of the United States if one of the questions between the plaintiff and the moving deiendant arises under federai laws, though every other question between these two and ali the questions between the plaintt and the twenty-three other defendants arose under state laws. 1 do not think Congress intended any such thtng, and if it had intended it 1 do not think tae constitution would have warranted it. Starting from this proposition, ‘the learned judge thinks the petition of this defend- aut (the Union Pacific Railroad Company) was fled in the Supreme Court and a bond oxfered on the 7th Al t, 1568, althongh the affidavit of the defend- ant’s attorney states that the petition was fied on the 13th March, 1569, and | Know positively not only that no bond was offered to me on the 7th of Augus, 1865, but that no bond has ever been offered to mg at any time whatever, even to this day. Whether, therefore, I consider the views of the learned judge in respect to the law, m which I cannot concur, or his assumptions of fact which | know to be erroneous, | must decline to be governed by his opinion, however great must be my respect for it or for hin. What makes this supposition of a removal in August of last year tue more remarkabie is that the defendant's counsél themselves aban- doned it, if they ever entertained it. They, as well aa the piaintit’s counsel, have taken a great number of proceedings in the case in this court since that time. Even the Union bite Railre Compan claims to have presented another petition for removal the last of January, evid considering the previous one, insurticie Other fendants presented abhird petition the last c and two of the defendants, Oliver Ames aud Oakes Ames, have a further petition for removal now pend- ing and set down for arg it, as | am void, for the third Monday of the present month. All of these proceedings in this court are of course incompatible with the present claim that the whole cause went out of this court in August last. If any error has been committed om my part in any stage Of this case is can easily be corrected on appeal, aud 1 invite the most careiui examination of all my acts. The defendants have saifered nothing but from their coutumacy and refusal to allow the transac- tions of the two companies concerned to | be made known, In July of last year an in- junction was granted prohibiting the removal beyond the jurisdiction of this court of their books and property then within it. If) rightly un- derstand the affidavit used on Tuesday, the defend- ants now avow that they now removed a great portion of the property for the very purpose of avoiding a receiver. ye company’s oMicers and clerks have concealed themselves or kept out of the way. Ham shut himself up m the sale. Under ail the circumstances | have no means of asserting effectuaily the jurisdiction of the Court but by ap- posting and continuing a receiver. I have, fur- , Only to say, that if the defendants desire to take further evidence as to their alle contempt they may have a reference to do so. hey do not desire it I shal! proceed with the case. Mr. Fiela then moved that the matter stand over for final judgment tii, the 22d inst. The application was granted and the court aa- Journed. ts THE LATE GENERAL BURTON.

Before Judge Blatchford, Im the Matter of the Petition of Gustavus Isaacs et al, vs. George W. Noble,—In this case the peti- tioners asked that the debtor Noble be adjudicated a bankrupt, on the ground that on the 15th day of March last, being insolvent, he had made a fraudu- lent sale of certain of lus property, consisting of a builders’ material yard at the foot of 129th street, Fast river, to one 0, Weeks, and on the 1 of March had made an ut of the of his property to Erastus F. Brown, The debtor dented the acts of bankraptey alleged, and demanded a jury trial, and the case came on Tor trial yesterday.

The charge against Ray was dis- missed and Tucker was committed for trial. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. The Olympic Theatre Litigation Again—Fur- ther Complication of a Complex Case. Betore Judge Barnard. Lizzie P. Cutler vs, John A. Duff, et al.—This case came before the court Wednesday on a demurrer to the complaint, the action being brought by the piain Ulf, as assignee, against the successors and repre- sentatives of tbe late John M. Trimbie, tormer owner of the Olympic theatre in this city. The basis of the action is in the claim by the plaintiff that Trimble and nis assignee, Roberts, in Marca, 1857, made an agreement with Cutler and Townsend that if they, as the attorneys, would advance money and prose- cute an action against Whitney and Karl to have a certain deed from Trimble, in favor of Whitney and Earl, deciared a mortgage, then said attorneys were by said agreement to have a certain interest in the property, That agreement was recorded. The com- piaint sets forth that the action was prosecuted and the deed to Whitney and Earl was declared a mort- gage, and that sixty days’ time was given to redeem the premises by 72", o amount found due from ‘Trimble to hitney and Earl, in default of which the coiplaint Was to stand dismissed; that before the sixty days bad expired the property was collusively conveyed to Duty, who bad full Knowledge of the contract re- ferred to, and that the time to redeem was allowed to expire by collusion of Dutt, Trimbie ana Roberts, for the purpose of defrauding Cutler and Townsend and the creditors of Trimbie, and that Duif, at the instigation of the creditors of Trimble, had been declared by this court to be a mortgagee in posses- sion and entitled only toa len on the property for what he had advanced. The complaint also sets out fraud against several parties, and prays that an ac- counting of the various liens on the property be made and partition ordered. ‘The defendants Duff and Roberts demur separately to the complamt, on the grounds that the complaint does not set forth facts suilicient to constitute a cause of action, and that several causes of action are united tmproperiy, These causes they aliege to be as follows:—A cause of action against Roberts and Trimble for debt, arising on simpie contract with Roberts and Trimble, and a cause of action in tort for an alleged attempt by the defendants Roberts and Dur and John M. Trimble to defraud Cutler and ‘townsend and others, by a tortuous and fraudulent transfer o1 said property to Dull, and the misconduct of sald Roberts, as the assignee and trustee of Trimble, in participating in said iraudulent attempt and transter, and also for other misconduct in his capacity as trustee for the creditors of said Trimble, and a claim against Dull, as trustee, by operation of law; alsc uhat the causes of action joined therein do not ane all the parties to this action.

Important Insurance Case—Decision. Before Judge McCunn. Elizabeth Baker vs, The Union Life Insurance Com- pany and Another.—JudgegMcCunn yesterday de- livered the following opinion in the above case:— ‘This is an action to recover the sum of ten thou- sand dollars, belng the amount of a policy on the life of the husband of the plaintiff. ‘The facts are as follows:—In December, 1864, Mr. Baker, the husband of the plaintiff, insured his life for and on account of his wife in the company of the defendants for ten thousand dollars and gave his notes for the pre- miums, which notes were accepted and received by the company and were receipted on the policy as $0 much cash. The polley was then taken by Baker and given to his wife, and there being no evidence before the court that ene had any kuowledge that her husbaad had givea his notes for the premium on the policy Instead of cash, One of the notes became due and was not paid at maturity, and Baker promised repeatedly to take the same up, the company indulging him as to time. Baker finally died before the note was paid, and the plaintiff, his wife, brings suit on tne polic) The defend&nts answer and say that by reason of certain printed memorandum (they cali it an agre ment), placed on the margin of the policy, wherein it says that if any gop notes given under said policy are nos paid come void—that they are not bound in law to p: but, on the contrary, are released from ali their gations in that respect. After a caretul view of the law, looking at all the facts as they stand in the case, We are clearly of opmion that the plaintiff 1s entitied to recover. We hold that where the wife's interest in her husband’s iife i+ insured, and the husband's notes are reccived and receipted as cash to the wife or the person to be benefited by the policy, it is a poomee in payment as cash, and the receipt isa part of the agreement. ‘This is th son: laid down In the case of Goit vs. National Prote insurance, Company (25 Barbour, 190), oa in that case the facts are not mi el strong a8 they are in the case ride tin ten Ti fit case the wife, for whom the policy Was elected, aid not know bat that her huspand had paid the cash for her premiums; they were receipted as cash on her policy in? the company, and for aught we can tell, if she had known the money had not been paid she tight have advanced the re- miam herself. But even if the plaintiff had given the notes herself, or was cognizant of the fact that they were given instead of money for the remiuin; the policy under such a clause ia not void cause of the non-payments of the notes, but void- able only at the election of the company. Instead, however, of electiug to avoid the policy the company assented to the delay in payment, and were expe ing, trom day to day, the pioceeds of the note from Baker, the husband, and they held the other notes not yet due or earned ,and up to hia death had taken no step indicating intent to forfeit the policy; and as there is no dispute that payment of the notes at maturity was waived, and as po agreement was thereafter made with the plaintiff to change her rights, the company was, and ia, liabie to her, ana can only look to the coliections of Baker's notes. Nay, more; 1 shail hold that a knowledge on the part of the company of the non-payment of the note ts a notice of the breach, and an extension of the time there. under was a full waiver of the forfeiture. There is another view of the case which must, to my mind, conclude the defendants—I mean the view that they are estopped from denying the payment of the premium in cash by their own acts in giving the receipt for cash. The rule of law is clear ti one, by his own words or conduct, causes believe the existence of a certain state of things, and induces him or her to act on that belief, the party «o domg is concluded from averring or proving a different state of things as existing at the time he made such representations. In legal parlance this is termed estoppel. This was the rule held in the Queen's bench im the case of Packard ¥. Sears (6 Adol. and El., 469), So also in the case of Freeman va, Coot (2 Exch. R., 654) Baron Park holds that where 4 party gives a receipt or writing and knows at the time he is giving it that the same is untrue (as in this case), he gives with the understanding that it will be acted upon and used against him as if it were true. If in this case the company did not intend that these notes should be received as cash on ac- count of the premiums of this woman's policy, why did they not say #o in their receipt? It would cer- tainly have been as easy for them to say notes as to say cash, But they intended the notes to be received as cash; they were received as such, gnd they must be strictly held to that construction. “Indeed, there never was a case where in the doctrine of estoppel can 60 completely ai ply a8 in this case, Estoppel as applied in suc ase a8 this, is not made ap cable upon the ground of wilful misrepresen' or fraud in maki but upon the groun that itis untrue to the pa inte in tls ease the plaintiff saw the statement. In ie ie Manguage 100 the admission or declaration, that it will be a fraud to show rejudice of a third party, upon the faith of the of that o licy, and saw that the that Fiala athe premiums were received in cash, and she acted that statement, aad we cannot company, after very receipt have wented her trom pay = ing the notes, and it would operate asa fra’ rnadt ite and this i¢ the v essence pe estoppel. The rule would interested 1 the life of his debtor, was insured and the insurance fected by debtor, and the pre- mium recei by the company was in the notes of the debtor; but thus receipted in cash, couki the gom| dispute it? By nd means. Then the rule should ust be as strictly applied in this case, Judg- ment ailirmod, with coste, Moore for plaintuil; Mr. Jernegan for defendant SUPERIOR bouRT. — Lujunction in Dispomess Proceedings. Before Judgé Monell. Bleonore Hernandez vs, W. Mcintire.—The tenant hired of landlord @ certain house in Twenty-fourth street at $1,500 a year, payadle in advance. On the lst of February last there became due $350, for which the landlord received an acceptance which was unpald. The Jandlord thereupon at once served the tenant with @ summons to vacate. ‘The tenant filed a counter aimidavit, set@ng up payment. Judge Gross, of the Marine Court, before whom the case was tried, gave judgment fr the landlord on the ground that the ‘acceptance being unpaid there was adefauit in the rent. The tenant at once gave no- tice of appeal, and filed a bend under chapter 193 of the Laws of 184%, and demanded a stay of the war- rant, The Justice declined'to stay proceedings and at once issued his warrant te dis} Thereupon the tenant applied to this court and obtained an in- junction against the Marsbai from executing the warrant until the hearing of the appeal.

Before Judge Quinn and Jury. REAL ESTATB COMMISSION. James Price vs. Michael Halpine.—The plaintiff en- tered into a written agreement with the defendant to sell the premises 50 Laight street for him, for $12,000, and now claims that after the sale had been* effected the defendant refused to pay him his com- mission, amounting to $120, for which the present proceeding was brought. The defence was that the plaintiff, after several efforts, had falled to dispose of the property as per agreement, that the defendant then notified him that he did not want it sold at all, and that, therefore, the authority to sell which had been previousiy vested in nim by the contract was witidrawn. ‘the jury after three hours’ delivera- ton failed to agree, and were discharged. LANDL BD AND TENANT. Sullivan H. Wesion vs. Peer McKenze.—This was a summary proceeding to recover $125 for rent due by the defendant for the occupancy as tenant of the premises No. 471 Washington street, at the rate of seventy dollars per month. The defendant admitted the hiring, but put in the plea that he had delivered up the house to the agent of the plaintiff and settled up with him. He her alleged that he never occupied the house, but hired it for another party, and when that party vacated he delivered up the keys to the agent. The fact that the premises were condemned by the Board of Health as unten- able was also urged. Judgment for plaintut. COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

Waat THIRVES DO—AN ACKNOWLEDGED “KNUCK” THREATENING OFFICERS.—AS detective officer Hib- bard, of the Eighieenth precinct, was leaving the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday morning with a female prisoner whom Justice Ledwith had remanded, he was met by @ closely-croppe-haired individual, named Wiliam Scotc, alias *‘*3cotty,” who said to him, ‘If you ever look me in the face Vl smash your nose.” The oficer gazed at the fel- low, and, knowing his character very thoroughly, handed his prisoner over to his precinct associate, detective Young, when the bold and abusive “Scotty” was collared and taken into court. The Justice being very busy at the moment, the prisoner was incarcerated in the ‘box’ until he could be arraigned before him. This took place almost immediately, when the above charge and cir- cumstances were narrated by the officers, The Court then asked the prisoner what he had to say, when, in a loud voice, fuli of bravado, he exclaimed, “well, Judge, these fellows here are running me in all the time; Hibbard spoke to me first; [ know that T have been a thief, but { have reformed; these om- cers havé & age against me.” “Ts that aljf? Scotty did not answer ye ra intent at the time ypon Sadedvor' to en the officer’ whd frrested him by telling them “they would be sorry for this thing.’” Finding that both this mode of operating and his contession made no impression on the Court, he proceeded to mutter something not heard and — nis head, when there was diregted a complaint of disorderly conduct to be taken against him. To this were attached two commitments, one an imprisonment of ten days, or a fine of ten dollars aud bonds of $800 to keep the peace. The prisoner was then escorted to the prison below, but he did not remain there very long, a8 before the morning session of the court was over John Hampson, of No. 46 Amity street, appeared and gave sureties in the sum required for his good behavior, when the acknowledged “kuuck’’ was again at liberty. METROPOLITAN POLICE. The $16,000 Reward suit Police Board, At a session of the Board of Police Commissioners hela yesterday a communication was received from John 8.

U. ‘depth ‘of three tne inthis fright ent ry THE EXCISE LAW AMENDMENT. A meeting was held last evening at irving Hall of citizens opposed to the amendment of the Excise law, which exempts the sale of lager beer from all restrictions on Sundays, There wase pretty large attendance, ‘The meeting was called to order by the appoint- ment of a chairman, Mr. Jonathan Sturgess, being called to preside, in afew words explained the object of the meeting. He said that perhaps one of the best criterions to Judge of the evils of the proposed amendment was to be found in the fact that it was supported by the lowest class of the politicians of the city and those intereated In the sale of liquors, while the opponents tothe amendment were to be found among that portion of our citizens, who had at least the educa- tion, the morality and the welfare of all classes, and who dread that should the amendment pass it will bring degradation and ruln to thousands, Mr. Nathan Bishop was the first speaker, He reviewed the benefits that had arisen to the com- munity from the Excise law, and expressed lus con- viction that should the amendment pass all the benefits that had arisen from the law would be counteracted and that drunkenness and poverty to thousands would be the result. The tax sought to be stricken trom the law a8 it now stands amounted to $120,000 a year. The excise, he contended, was the wisest and most beneficent law that was ever passed by the Legislature of this State. it was not the act of politicians, but the act of men who had the welfare of their fellow-creatures at heart. [t pro- tected the Sabbath from desecration—it saved tens of thousands of families from want and privations. That law was the friend of the poorest in the city. Women and children, through its working, were better fed and better clothed than ever before. There were one hundred thousand laborers in the city; twenty thousand of these were formerly in the habit of spending one dollar each every Sunday in the liquor shops. Thus twenty thousand dollars of the hara earnings of the poor went every Sunday to the grog shop. From the statements of experienced visitors to the workshops it was ascertained that one work- man out of every five stayed away from work every Monday for the reason—to use a phrase—“they had drunk on Sunday,” and they were unable ,to It was cl t the Excise law that it Puritanical law. It was not, he said, anything of the kind. The people had six days in the week to fill themselves with gin if they were fools enough to do so. The liquor store men themselves, some years ago when the subject ‘was before under discussion, one-half of the whole number of them again and declared, when asked if they de: to have the liquor shops open, that they did not. They said they wanted the Sun- days to themselves to spend with their families, and that they would much preter to have Sunday busi- ness mopped. These men, one-half of the whole liquor dealers, said that the only reason they opened their stores on Sunday was that their neighbors aid, and they must do the game or lose thetr custom. The proposed amendment he looked upon as a concession to Ger- Man politicians. He said it was well known that all respectable Germans of every class and one-fourth of the dealers in lager beer were opposed to the amendment and in favor of a strenuous execution of the fxcise law as it was. It was the brewers of lager beer, the distillers and wholesate dealers and the low politicians of the city that desired the amendment to the Excise law.‘ These were the ene- mies of the poor and needy of our people—the wo- men and children who are dependent upon the daily labor of their natural protectors for bread. He hoped the citizens would combine in a movement that would assure our legislators at Albany of the great evil they would inflict upon the community by sanclioning the passage of the amendment. (Ap- plause.) RESOLUTIONS. Rev. Dr. Prime offered the following resolu- tions :— Resolved, That this meeting of citizens of the Metropolitan district do Garnestly protest avainat the proposed amendment to the Metropolitan Excise law and to the exemption of the sale of beer from Jegal restraint. Resolved, That the sale of lager beer without license re- moves from It the supervision of the police and opens the door to the unlimited illegal sale of all liquorsunder the cover of lager beer. Resolved, That it unjustly discriminates in favor of the trafic and {ndulgences of our citizens of a single nationality, many of whom are themselves opposed to it, That the amendment is designed to impair and will destroy the eiliciency of our present Excise law, which bas proved itself the effective means of diminishing poverty and crime, has secured peace aud order, especially on Sun- days, and replenished our public treasury, heavily drawn upon for the support of prisons, almshouses and hospitals fillea by the victims of this traflic. Kesolved, That by removing all effective legal restraints ‘and penaities from this trade the amendment practically de- stroys all our laws for the protection of citizens in thetr right to quiet Sundays, 18 in conilict with the settied legislation of the state from its eariiest history and alms to do directly and insidiously what no party dares directly and openly .o advo- cor was a cute and avow. Resolved, we call upon the friends of good order and the Christian Sabbath throughout the State to unite in de- feating this amendment and sustaining our present law, and we invite our legislators to consider that their concessions to one element of our population will lose for them the sym: pathy and support of another; that the element which is represented in this meeting will not sustain any party that {is willing to aacritice moral principle to party ends, t vod, Thats deputation of — be appointed to pre- bent the action of this meeting to the Senate ut Albany. Mr. Minains, of the City Mission, next addressed the meeting. He thought the people of New York should make @ protest against the passage of this amendment, He protested against it as a man who loved humanity, aud who beljeved in a higher type of Christianity, and not a8 one ho ronia continually Koa aa ae 3 God ahd highér tuttigs, bat a8 QB jo something for his human kind. He wes not for always talking, but he was for lifting and trying to do something for his fellow creatures. He was not of those who were always talking of char- ity, but he was one who would try to extibit it, He pealed to his hearers by protesting against this mendinent to save the children of the from starving, and the homes of the workingmen from broken hearts, and poverty from stalking through our streets. They inust be up and coal their duty in this emergency. The poor, wno, after all, in nine cases out of ten were the tools of men who look beyond the poor to their owa interests, forgetting the poor, forgetting them as they tift their heads in high places. Let us not leave the poor at the merey of these men. We have power and influence to do it, and all that 18 required is combined action in the matier, (Ap- plause.) Rev. Ws. J. BUDDINGTON Was the next speaker. He protested against the amendment. He confessed that until this evening he was not aware of what was going in relation to this matter, and he be- lieved that not one out of every ten of the intelligent men of this metropolitan district knew what was impending at Albany. He saw it and understood it this evening for the first time himself. He would say, if the Germans wanted peculiar rights let them take these rights in Germany. If they wanted American rights, let them take them in connection with American obligations. (Applause). He believed the German people were the most valuable poruon of the Bae we of the country. They are cousin rman to us, They are intelligent people and can be made to see & point, take and when they see it, they will their rights with us as they did in the great battles of the late rebellion. He protested against the amendment as special legisiation which — not at this day in our history be permitted. 18 amendment is the thin edge of the wedge which is for the first time to ignore the principles of our whole moral and political history, and eiface from our statute books the reverence of our people for the day which is consecrated to all men for the rest of body and spirit. gr Rev. Henry D. GANSR was the next speaker. He deprecated the act of the politicians In the attempt to amend the Excise law as regarded the sae of lager. He argued that there was no motive for interfering with the law. There was no plausible or tolerable motive for the amendment—no motive that aman dare conscien- tiously uphold for touching the law. The only ad- mitted motive was to ify one considerable por- tion of our community; but the men who hold that promiscuous drinking is best will demand the same privitege for their interests; and thus, when the bar- rier of safety is broken down, there wiil be no power to resist the flood of evil that will fow over the land.

Should atl of these come to the post we may expect to witness one of the best handicap races that has been run ia the country. ‘There will be a large congregation of horses at Jerome Park the approaching season. If the management would only conform a little more to the general sentiment of the country as respects the running and abate certain portions of that ex- clusiveness which is so offensive to the majority of our citizens, it would tend greatly to popularize their grounds. One of the most obnoxious features ig that of devoting the most select portions of the grand stand exclusively to the club, while those wno pay for admission to the stand, and who are thetr principal supporters, are compelled to take suck in- ferior positions as may be assigned them, and thas, too, when the space allotted to the club is not more than half occupied. We would suggest thas if tha principle of exclusiveness 18 to obtain, the club members occupy the Club House alone, and the pub- lic, who are not members, enjoy the accommodations that they suppose they pay for. Other necessary re- forms may also be made, of which we may speak hereafter. LECTURES LAST NIGHT. PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Lecture at the Brooklyn Atheneum, A highiy interesting and inteiligent assemblage of boys and girls filled to its utmost capacity the hai of the Brooklyn Athenwum on yesterday afternoon to hear the second of the two lectures of Mr. Du Cnaillu, specially intended for the youth of that city, Having in the previous lecture given particulars of the geographical situation of the country, Mr. Du Chatllu proceeded to give an account of interesting Incidents in his journey into the interior of Africa, and illustrated the subject with a number of well executed paintings, which proved useful in convey- ing correct ideas of the scenes described. Com- mencing in the Commi country, he narrated the execution of three women for witchcrait, and re- ferred to the system of burial adopted there, bow of which subjects were tllustrated by paintings. He continued his journey until he reached a village in the Ashira country. village was located 10 the centre of a large forest, the plantain trees of which had been cut down to provide a place for the houses, which were constructed of the bark of and are arranged in streets. He went next to Otande country, a fertile prairie land about fifty miles loag and varying in width. The termites or white ants of that place were described, and a sketch on a large scale shown of them and their houses. The Apano country was next reached and particulars given of an interview with the King. Mr. Du Chalilu read from his journal in Afcica his speech on that occasion, and several other passages descriptive of the habits of the people. and the appearance of the piace. He gave an account of his journey further into the inte. rior, and furnished particulars of the agp ry reed and gorilla. A painting of the natives of lahogo Was next suown. ‘This people removed four of th upper and two of the iower incisor teeth.

Strongly attractive to “the world and the rest of mankind” as are women’s faces in @ positively prac- tical point of view, there was only a slim attend- ance last evening at the church corner of Forty- sixth street and Lexington avenue, to listen to the finely spun theorizing on this subject by Mr. Inger- soll Lockwood. The lecture, however, was interest- ing, @8 exhibiting a wondertul reconditeness on the subject and presenting an array of curious facts tn- troductory to the topic. The lecturer ia duiged in learned references to the special types of female beauty in the times of the old Greeks and the Romans. exhausted the ancient poetry and stavuary on this subject he came down to the middle a and the famous delineations on canvas of the fem: beauties of the times of Michael Angelo and Ra- phael. He quoted also |i from the poets of the Rlizabethan era, and then traced the progressive points of feminine facial decorations, Coming dowa to the present age, he insisted that the women of to-day were endowed with all the splendid beauty characterizing the female celebgities in respect to beauty of past tunes. He descri im sequence the strongest essential points of female beauty—the 4 ular Grecian profile, arched eyebrows, smoot contour of face, forehead not too ‘intellect- = bat betsy 3 & greater 4 of teeling and affection than intellect, the firmly chiselled chin, expressive eye, clear complexion, delicately formed nostrils, beautifal hair mouth and lips, and last, though not least, teeth of ly whiteness, Som: deviations from this high 6 he admitted aa Compatibie with beauty.
