A Heavy Will Case—Interesting Question as to Residuary and Accumulative Provisions, Before Judge Ingraham. Wwitiam B. E. Lockwood, Administrator, &c., vs. Wullam De F, Manice et al.—This and three other suits involve substantially the same questions, and it was conceded by counsel that a decision in one of the causes would carry with it the remaining three. They were, therefore, argued together. This action ig instituted for the purpose of setting aside a por- tion of the last will and testament of the late De Forest Manice, who died in this city in 1862, leaving large amount of property, which has since appre- ciated in value and is now worth nearly $2,000,000. By the will the testator leit to his children. in the form of bequests aud legacies, about $700,000, He leit the reuiuder, under a residuary clause, to the executors in trust during the lifetime of his widow, to pay wo her aud to others named certain amounts out of the income, with the provision that ff the net income exceedcd a certain amount, to accumulate one-half of tue excess during her life time. They ‘we.e algo to pay ous of this trust the sum of $5,000 to Yale College, to be accumulated to $30,000, for the education v1 Ube testator’s children, and on the further or subsequent trust, after the death of his wile, to cause wu appraisement of the estate and to divide it into certai snares. These shares were to be heid tor one of bis children during his or her life, and during the minority of their.chiidren the shares of their parents 1o thew grandchildren, with re- mainders aisv to the grandchildren, Tue case occupied ubout two days in argument, and a@ large buimber of counsel were engaged. It was claimed on beialf of the contestants that the residuary clause of the will is bad, as it suspends the ower vi alienation curing more than two lives in ing, aud Liat 1 was aso bad in part for the accu- muiating clause; tat these latter clause were (0 80 great au exceut parts o. the residuary provision that ther baduess invaudated the whole provision, It was covtenaed in opposition to this that the clauses cvu 4 be eased, and that the Jaw would pro- vide fur wuat tie will intended should be accumu- lated without aifecting the general form of the trust, and that for (tus reason the trust should not be dis- turbed. ‘Yhe Court took the papers and reserved decision. ‘SUPTEME ‘COURT—CHAMBERS.

Fowler vs. Bull.—The defendant is the Justice of the District Court of the Eighth Judicial district of the city of New York, and held the office also prior to 1867, The Legislature of 1866 passed an act extend- ing the term of office of Justice Bull from the ist of January, 1867, to January 1, 1870, so that the term of that office would expire concurrently with those of the other District Courts. The fall term of office is six years, and Justice Bull’s term would have ex- pired December 31, 1806, but for the extension by the Legislature, At the fall election of 1866 the plain- tiff, Nicvolas Hill Fow.er, procured from the ice Commissioners @ ballot box, which he marked ‘Ju. b No. 9," and placed it at the i, of the ‘Third Election district of the Twentieth ward, and was a candidate for the ofice of Justice of that Judical district.

Before Judge Quinn, Thomas McDowell et al, vs, John L, Vandewater.— This is an action brought to recover the sum of $225, the value of a horse delivered by plaintiff to defendant to be sold, as an auctioneer, and horse dealer, The testimony of plaintiffs shows that de- fendant received the horse in question as auction- eer, and offered him for sale at an auction sale in Great Jones st: eet; that the price waa limited to $225; that the price offered not reaching that sum he was bid mn by one of the plaintiffs at $150 and returned to defe: gba ana es shee this a oe plaintiffs inst him of $10 75 for ‘oxpelise of Keeping aid vertising ; without giving plaintiffs reason- able notice it gold the horse in his full value and ht a fair price, for which de- fe it is ready to account, less th ti] 16 for ex incurred for his c.

A HEARTLESS CASE. Daughter and Turned Adrift the World. Probably the most heartless case that the police authorities of this city have had to deal with In some time was revealed at Police Headquarters yes- terday. It appears that an elderly lady about seven v’clock on Thursday evening hirea a coach at the Astor House and requested the driver to take her to the Twenty-seventh street depot. On arriving there she gave orders for the driver to go back to the Astor House, and after he had driven the coach at her own request to and from several places in the city he discovered that she had no money to pay him for his trouble and that she acted rather strangely fora sane person. OMicer Dunn, of the Twenty-sixth recinct, who happened to pass by the Astor House just as the driver and the lady were debating the question of payment, at once perceived that the latter was somewhat out of her mind and had her conveyed to the Central Poilce OMice. Inspector Jameison, who was on duty when the lady wis brought in, nad her comfortably provided for :n one of the rooms of the building, and soon afterwards learned that her name was Mrs. C. A. Seaman and ‘that she had a married daughter living in very good circumstances in the Thirty-second precinct. ‘The Inspector thereupon seat the following despatch to the police of that precinct:— MAY 27-845 P. M. To 321. gietorn: the friends of Mrs. C. A. Seaman that she ee, in at this o Inspector JAMEISON. The following reply was received:— MAY 28--9:50 A. M. From 924.—Mrs. Seaman's daughter says, send her mother to the Island. This despatch so disconcerted the Inspector that he laid tne matter before Superintendent Ken- nedy on bis arriving at the Centrai Ofice, and the latter forwarded the following characteristic de- spatch:— MAY 29:45 A, M. To 824.—If the relatives do not attend to the case of Mrs. Seaman and have ber taken in charge reapectably, we can do nothing else than to have her disposed of usm vagrant. They had belter come down at once and attend to her case, | And the following was the reply that came to hand five minutes afterwards:. From $24.—They say they don't BF «edad oh m S24.—They sa: n't want ant to do’ wi here Rend her anywhere so she wort trouble then, ‘This is trom her only daughter. ‘The idea that an “only daughter’ could so treat a mother was rather startling even to Mr. Kennedy, who, as Chiet of Police, has doubtless seen as mach of the dark side of human nature as most men. Mrs. Seaman 1s still at the Central Ofice, where she is being tenderly cared for; but if her relatives do not wish to attend to her case the police authorities have only one alternative, and that will be to have her ‘disposed of as a vagrant.” Inspector Dilks ascertained late yesterday afternoon that certain relatives of Mrs. jan reside on the east side of town, and he at once telegraphed to them the fact of the lady’s being at headquarters. THE THEATRICAL SENSATION. Miss Kate Fisher in Court—The Complainant Declines to Answer Questions—The Com- plaint Dismissed—A Refractory Witness. ‘The east side of the town was yesterday in a con- siderable state of excitement, caused by the an- nouncement in the HexaLp of Wednesday that the further hearing in the case in which Miss Kate Fisher, the well known equestrienne, was accused of stealing a watch and chain would be resumed, be- fore Justice Snandiey, at the Essex Market Police Court, at two o'clock. Some time before the hour appointed for the hearing the court room was densely crowded by persons anxtous to hear the evi- dence in the case and to see Miss Kate Fisher in her private costume. So great was the crowd about half- past two o'clock that Justice Shandley made up his mind to hear the witnesses ia the room above the court room, and notified the parties and their counsel to repair thither. When bis Honor and the counsel made a move towards the staircase they were followed by @ large namber of the loungers in court, who filled the up-stairs room in every part. Mrs. Bevins, the complainant, was present, with her counsel, Mr. Stuart, Jr, her husband and her hier, and Miss Fisher was also in the room, with wyer, Mr. Howe, her friend Mr. Nagle and and strained their eyes in order to gain a view of the Indy who has for so long a time been a favorite upon the boards of the Bowery theatre, About a quarter to three o'clock Justice Shandley = be a ‘wan ready bh ave the —_ Cg my at once placed complainant, Mrs. Bilas 3.

Dickinson delivered a discourse las» even- ingin the Cooper Institute on Woman’s Suffrage. There was a large audience present, among whom the ladies were very fairly represented, and these, from time to time, gave unmistakable manifesta- tions of approval of all the best parts in favor of the chosen subject. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who, in a few words, introduced Miss Dickinson, who was received with great applause. Miss Dickinson said: That in the words of Pat- rick Henry she would exclaim on behalf of herself and her sex,* e us tiberty or give us death.” Whea women have once exercised the right of voting, and when they have surrendered that right, it will be time enough for their opponents to say that she is mot equal to the task. When A. T. Stewart deciined to act a3 Secretary of State, he admitted himself in- capable for the task and he retired. It will under similar circums:ances be time enough to say women are pee ranel to the task of voting, of the enjoyment ol equal rights when she abandons her righis and privileges in that respect. It would not be aes to judge of women in general because of s few these of immured in prison for ovfences, and who were willing to remain there, objected to another woman des:ring to be treed, ani they say do not let her go, lock tae doors an throw away the key. 1s was absurd to think tuat women no other duties or mission on earth than to please men. Did men suppose they gratuled women when they spat out their tobacco juice on their floors, and puiled out their foul smoke mto their eyes, Were women pleased when with dirty sneaking boots they came in at late uours to their homes, und spread themselves with soiled clothes upon their sofus and lounges? Were women to be pleased when imen feturned to their homes after speading their mghts in billiard rooms and saioons, at half-past one and two in the morning’ Were women to be pleased when men, taeir Lusbands, veturned after late hours from operas and theacres aud boon companionship? But the piaces and causes of men’s absence Were too numerous Ww recapitalate, Are women to be pleased when men so scidom at home scarcely looked at their children? It was said that woman's influence was poweriul to make laws, She might refer to tue historygof Pompadour, Mala- tenon and Du Barry in France. It was the law in France that no woman could reign from the throne; but it wasa weil known fact that these women reigned supreme from behind the throne. And the power which was so absolute in times Sas why should it be ignored and useless pow. Woman’s influence and power mnust be from the darkness into the face of the sun and into the Jace of the nation and be held amenable to the law it cannot inake or protect. There must always be a move in a desired direction before the termination or the object is reached. The taunder of tue tirst cannon of the late war did more. against eat than all the tulminations and denuuciations of ali Ue anti-slavery meetings and conventions that were ever held. It is a fact the one prociamation of Abraham Lincoin did more to destroy slavery than all the speaking and talking of ali the reformers that ever lived, though they spoke with the tongues of angels. The extension of the right to vote opened @ new sphere to women—a sphere which men did not desire to see them enter ou—invading a sphere which men claimed that they were alone adapted for. Men say thet they are the natural law- makers of the universe. Weil now itis a question whether it is not woman's duty to improve on this natural law. Men will be beter lawiwakers whea they have women to assis: them in their labor. 1¢15 not right for man to be alone in politics.

It will be seen that when an linprovement which is necessary to the public convenience is to be made and the whole expense cannot be justly imposed on “ue property iwmediately fronting on or advan tagea” thereby, one-half of the expense may be imposed on the city at large, and the other half on the “property immediately fronting or advantaged” by the improvement, Heretofore the Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment were permitted to a3sess property, in some cases, miles distant from proposed street improvements, and thus imposed burdens on property owners who derived no beneilt whatever from the improvement. Anoiher much needed amendment is that author. izing the Commissioners to assess property benelited upon one-half of its market value, instead of the “assessed value” as heretofore. A piece of property, for instance, may be assessed by the county wsses- sors at a few thousand dollars, but by the tmprove- ment for which the assessment is being made it may be enhanced so much as to command in the market @ much larger sum than that for which it is assessed SOUTH AMERICA. PERU. Attempts at Revolation—Yellow Fever in the South—General Items. Lia, April 28, 1869. Since my last communication very little of interest has occurred in the republic, and, thanks to the active administration of President Balta, the country at last appears to have entered upon the road to peace and advancement. The only disturb- ing element is the presence of that unquiet person- age, Captain Lizardo Montero, whose ardor for revo- jution seems to emulate that displayed by his great predecessor Lucifer, and whose fall, if once he can be apprehended, will assuredly be as complete and by the county assessors; on one halfofthis enhanced | merited.

Nearly 4,000 have died irom the epidemic since that time, and tae remainder, territied at the presence of the enemy, fed to the interiur, where they still con- tinue. Such devastation is simply appalling, and it is to be doubtea if parallel cap be found to the sufferings of the unhappy city. The government here sent physicians aud medicines, bat the force of the epidemic was such as to defy all human skill, and a very small percentage of the persous attacked recovered. In several other portions of the south the maiady has been severely felt, and coming so speediiy aiter the earthquake of August last has completely disheartened the strug- giing peopie. ‘the hand of Providence has indeed been laid neavily on Peru, and nothing but peace and @ length of time cau bring back to the south- ern district that tranquillity and weaith ? have heretofore enjoyed.

VALPARAISO, April 17, 1869, At last the policy of the government in respect to the Indians of the south appears to be meeting with success, and one of the Chilean oficers, high in rank, is now holding a convention with the Caciques for the arrangement of a definitive peace and the settlement of all existing troubles. The Indians profess to be weary of warfare, and one of their chieftains, who has seen the benefits of civilization, has been holding forth to them on the subject.
