Prederick L, Schettler, dc., vs. L, Smith, Executor, @c., and O(hers.—Jonn M, Smith, in making his will, seems to have had some strong reason to exclude his #en’s wife and his daughter Cornelia’s intended hus-" and, the present plaintiff, and even the children of those marriages, from all participation in bis ‘entate, He, therefore, left thelr shares in trust, the income to be paid to them for Mie, and after their aeath to any other wife or husband and the fee to tueir children by any other wife or husband. Cornelia married, nevertheless, Frederick L. scuetiler, and then sought to set aside ‘the will, on the ground that It made a limitation to the lives of the persons, one of them not des}; and therefore not necessarily in being, claiming that ‘this was euca a part of the framing of the will if gone tne whole wili must go, The court below de- cided against the plaintiif, aud she appealed, Pend- ing the aypeal she died, a her husband now pro- secutes the appeal. The argumeut of the respondents: 4s that the wiil, if techuically wrong, has a piaia and evident intention, which is not beyond the law, ana that as tt cau be interpreted according to such legal Intention the Court must so interpret it, and this in- terpretation gives toe plaintiff no rigats, The Court reserved its decision. Suit Against the City Comptroller—Novel Claim—Opinion of the Court, The People ex rel. Geery and Others va, Riehara B. Connolly, Comptrover,—This case, which involved considerable amount of money, came up on an appeal taken by the Comptrolier from an order of Judge Barnard, directing that a maadamus tssae to compel tae Com ptrolier to cancel certain assessments upon the relator’s property. The proceeding was originally brought under the law of 1863, relative to frauds in @saessineuts, and the order to vacate, upon which the pre 23 for mandaim us are based, was entered on the sd of January, 1863, It was contended on the part of the Comptroller ‘that no proois of iraud or age, had ever been taken, and that the orcer of 1863 was absolutely void, and no duty devolved upon the Compironer, Ou the other hand it was urged, first, that the verified petition und certified copy rec im similar cases jor the same improvement were suiiicient proof; aud second, that bo appeal lies in these pro- ceedings to tue General Term. OFINION BY JUDGE CLERKE. Formeriy the judges were of the opinion that these rocecdings Were Hot appealable, but that opinton jad been vverruled and tor a number of years last past appeas have veen allowed; that in the pro- ceedings to vacate assesmeut, aw required that oral proot of the fraud or trregutartty complamed of shouid be taken by the judge im each case; that the verified petition was not proof within the statute, nor was the proof taken im one case avaliable to another poutiover seckiug to vacate aa assessment upon lus property tor the same linprovement; that evel peutioner Must give proofof the frauds or irregularities alleged hy him. The order vacatin: tho assessiuent was therefore improper and shoul not be enforced, and tue ovder of Spectal ‘Term granting the mandamus should be reversed.

Before Recorder Hackett. IMPORTANT CHARGE OF RECORDER HACKETT. Atthe opening of the court yesterday the Grana Jary were empanelied and Mr. John H, James s¢e- lected to act as foreman, His Honor Recorder Hackett then delivered the following charge:— GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JURY:— It becomes the duty of the presiding Judge of this coart to call the attention of the Grand J toa jury statutory requirement with reference to particular offences. The various statutes alluded to are con- in that respect will n It would seem that although I called attention at the last February term of this court to the neglect of citizens in the performance of Ag far it is wwithon? elfects for, at jury duty, that thus he opening of the present term of this court, but eighteen petit jurors out of 150 summoned an- awered to their names, and out of that number ven were excused by my colleague for good and suficient reasons, Out of thirty-six Grand Jurors summoned but fourteen hence the business of the court had to be journed over until to-day to give to the Sheriff cient tine to summon a el. Surely there must be some defect in our eae m, and some mode should be devised and tive wisdom should be invoked to afford a remedy. The Mayor, City Judge and myself, as members of the Beard for the selection of jurors, and goon to meet to draw the list for the cnsuing year, are preparing a list of defaulting jurors in Unis court and the Cuurt of Oyer and ‘Yermi- ner, and propose to publish their names. The attention of this community, and the peopie at large has been drawn by the pablic journals, and the charges of my predecessors and associates to the insufticient accommodations of the City Prison for the purpose for wiich it was originally designed, and more particularly of late yeara by the reports of the honored department of Pubiic Charities and Correetion. Constructed in the year 1937, when the uumber of our population, periiaps, compared with that of the present day, was but one-fourth, the Cliy Prison afforded suiicient accommodation for ail offenders—to those Se ag with crime, awaiting trial, or those temporarily confined after judgment; but with the rapid wn of the city, lis Jarge increase in pulation, it 1s notoriously and wholly incapable of holding (with due consideration to the rights of the imprisoned) the number charged as offenders against the law. ‘This is a serious re- proach to the first city of the Western hemis- phere, and demands our serious considera- Uon. We are indebted to the signal ability which has been ceplared by the Com- missioners of Public Charities and Correction to light by ingenious and well pepciaied orders, using and adapting all meaus within their power, by changes from one place of custody to another, to relieve in part the miseries (but not remove) of per- sons charged with crime, which otherwi hey would have been condemned to suffer. 1 have no- ticed with great satisfaction in the recent message of the Mayor that he (with the experience begotten, by many years in the prcsecution of ofenders as Dis- trict Attorney of this ctty) has imparted his views— corroborative of my own—as to the pressing Leces- sity of immediately constructing @ new city prison. learnestly ask of you, as abody charged with su- peryitios of prison management, to forthwith visit ‘he city and other prisons within our county, and to inquire if such necessity exists, and to place on re- cord, for municipal and legislative use, your views oe Ingen any existing wrong, and the appropriate remedy. I have personally known of two and even three prisoners to be necessarily con- fined in one cell, and you will consider that they were not proven but coy suspected oilenders. Very recently we have hi something about tho barbarity of the whipping-post and the pillory in Del- aware, and tne authorities of that State have under- one With us of the North severe reprehension. But any who have felt it their duty to animadvert with severity upon these ancient and with us unusual modes of punishment will only visit our City Prison, when, a3 now, it is crowded with convicted prisoners and alleged offenders, they will begin to think, nay, believe, that allusions to barbarity and reprehensions more fitti belong to our ill-dolngs in reapect to the matter | have just adverted to. Mr. Wm, F, Howe, counsel for Wm, Variey, better Known as “ Reddy, the Blacksmith,” mado an cio- ot plea for the I smy mement of the trial until to- jorrow to enabie him to summon a number of wit- nesses, Who would establish the fact that his client was nat present at the time of the alleged robbery.

She was sent to the State Prison for eighieen months. James Donaldson was charged with taking sixty dollars on the 19th of May from John Godfrey, wio testified that he was negotiating @ loan wita the de- fendant, when he snatched the money from tue coun- ter and ran out. Mr. Howe, on cross-examination, showed a receipt which Godfrey gave the defendant tor forty dol ‘The Recorder directed the jury to find a Verdict of not guilty, Mary Keed was tried and convicted of grand lar- ceny in siealing on the 3d of April jewelry and Ja- dies’ weartng apparel valued at $330, the property of Louls Bergh, who empioyed her a3 a domestic, Upon the rendition of the verdict Mr. Hutchings informed the Court that the prisoner was indicted tor @ simt- lur offence on @ previous oceasion.

CcARGE OF K.DSAPP.NG Au Alleged Femule Kidnapper Charged with Stealing a Child Eleven Months Old=iwo Children Found with Her—scone at the Police Court. Our criminal calendars very rarely revea: charges of kidnapping, and most {i cases are the abduc. tion of children of weaithy parents, with the view to ovtalning rewards for the restoration of the Jost children, A case came before Judge Dowling yes- terday, at the Tombs, which the presence of every reasonable motive for the eliered kidnapping envelopes in o veil of mystery, as well as makes more than ordinarily interessing. The cir cumstances of the case as brought to light in the proceedings before the court are as fullows:— Mra. Kilza Kelve ts 8 widow, living at No, 129 Wasliingion street; she is a Gerjaan woman, about twenty-iive years old and quite haucsome, and has two flue-looking children, the oldest being five and the youngest ele ha old, Her has! tied about eighteen tg9 and having left her deatituig she hag bee Serio’ Ro out gud wash See as citer mdat wart ior the PUpport | gf herself ehiigrah, Of Tuesday myynivg pag Went out to do a day'é work, leaving the two ¢ Aan Crowle "2 she Was at ad takea hor {to her room Je dove” as looking as ue drop at he Shortly afoy noon M. living In the same house, Came wir work and told ber that an od Wo: baby aw ay.

Those light-filngercd prestidigitators, the bogus Jewelry and threc-card monté men, keep Marsh ‘Tooker pretty busy; but he “‘nolds a «tacked hand,’ as they themselves would express it, which enables him to spoil their “litte games” and bring their most cunning deviccs to naught, Verdant indivi- duals from New Jerscy and Pennsylvania who resort hither “to see the elephant,” and who seem to be almost proverbialiy the easiest prey of such rascally gentry, having been shown that animal by exhibitors of gorgeous exterior and pleasing addreas and in- sinuating manners, but of more than questionable integrity, are fain to seek the Mayor's Office to regain the money out of which they have been feeced, albelt through thelr own covetous- ness and ignorance. It is astonishing that in spite of the warnings which the exposures in the Mayor's Court, dally published in the HERALD, afford to strangers in the city against the knavesa who trade upon rustic creduiity and avarice, that any one with the fatntest glimmering of reason can rush blindly into thetr toils, Butsuch cases are of constant occurrence. The two following are notable instances of this species of folly:— A PAIR OF VERDANT PENNSYLVANIANS, Qharles Shay, just arrived from New Orleans, but hatting from the Gity of Brotherly Lovo, is a dis- charged soidicr, He appeared yesterday before Mar- shal Tooker and complained that an individual’ named John Wilson, the keeper of a bogus jewelry establishment at No. 183 West street, had induced him to‘bet on three card monte, the bait beiug a gold watch, at which interesting pastime he lost irty dollars, The compliments of the Marshal, Wich a request to step up (0 the captain’s ofice and sett le, being conveyed to Wilson, he deemed it ad- visable to refund the money.

William Osborne, of No, 233 Broadway, observing Jame} inthe act of gazing at the Brum- Magem plate and jewe'ry displayed tn his show case recuested him to step in and examine the same more malausely, James, “suspecting no bari,” aa he aitirmed, complied, aud was imduced (o lend a youth with an honest cowatenance seventy--Ix dollars to bet on three card monte, wpou the assurance that he was sure to win, which he did not, The ingenious young nau tien leit the store, for Luc purpose (Jo at least he avervol) of obtatning Beventy- dollars from a friend, promistug to return speedily and re- pay the same to Dalton. It ls necdiess tu eay that be Jailed to keep his promise. Aficr waiting some time the fact what he had been done exceeding! brown gradually dawned upon the Alleghanian, He was asked by the Marshal when he made his complaint, whether he read the newspapers, to which he re- plied that he hadn’t done go Jor six or seven months, Officer McGrath was uespatched in quest of the miss- ing money and the complainant was advised to sub- scribe for a New York paper immediately. GRAVE CHARGE AGAINST A LAWY A complaint was made 1a May ia:t st Alex- ander H. Reavey, @ lawyer doing busiuess at 243 broadway, by John Byrnes, for retaining $1,000, the amount of @ judgment recovered in behalf of the coimplatnant against the Second Avenue Railroad Company. When summoned before Marshal Tooker he expressed his wiilingness to pay over the money, and subsequently did pay over fity doilars, but has failed, so the complainant alleges, to pay the re- mainder, although he agreed to do so in tree weeks, Yesterday a complaint of similarcharacter was made aguinst him by Mr. fl. Ss. Danzilg an inseet de. stroyer, of 431 Seventh avenue, wio alleges that Reavey coliected a judgment of twenty-live dollars for him and retained the same, Reavey’s defence 13 that the twenty-five doliara was due to him for pro- fessional services, Marshal Tooker expressed his surprise that two such cases—tne circumstances of which were 80 Camagiag tothe reputation of a proivssional man— hould have appeared upon the record at sach a short interval Trou one another, and said that he tho gat the charge very serious and one wiica Front f afected the character of the accused, and al- lowed him until twelve si. to-morrow to pay over the money to his clients. A COW CASE. Bric Farreil, of Schenck street, Brooklyn, com- plained that she had been victimized by Isaac Ham- anman, of No. 247 Kast Fifty-frst street, in a cow transaction. She had purciased a cow of the de- fendant for $115, paying thirty-nine dollars dowa and giving her note for the balauce—seventy-six dol isaac guaranteed that the auimal would milk twenty quarts a day. The cow was to have four days’ trial, and if shedid rege that amount of milk she was to be returned and the money and note refunded. But alas for the duplicity of human nature; the cow surned out not only ‘to be dry but diseased, whereupon Bridget returned the auimal to her quondam owner, wiio seemed much surprised at such a bad report, and promised to resiore the money, which, however, he neglected to do, Bridget being thus at one fell blow jockeyed out of the cow JushSe, accompanied by ler friends. Who loudly ox: en 10 Joudly ex- ressed thelr indigaation against the Teatonic cow fancier, The dciendant was accompanied vy his counse!, George A. Greensward, who at first seemed disposed to deny Marshal Tooker’s jurisdiction of the case, but drew in his horns when informed that if he doubted that, any interiereuce of his own iu the case could be dispensed with. The principal witness for the complainant was a grimy inan named James Higgins, who also acted us a sort of couusel. This gentleman corroborated Bridget's siatement, and proceeded to argue the case on her behalf with more volubduity than cioquence, Which aroused the ire and contempt of Greeusward at being opposed to such an exceedingiy unkempt and daaprofessional pracitiouer, and he sniffed tho au as if be emeiled someiuing very unlike green pastures. The upshot of the case was that the cow jockey, acting upon the advice of tne Marshal, “dest & Worse Chance might befall lim,’ agreed to restore the money aud the note to the injured Uridget, Who Ceparted amid the noisy congratula- ons of her friends, @ deputation of two of whom waited upou the Marsnal in the course of tie-alcter- nooa ind informed him that the Dutchman had paid over the greenback, SULD AT AN AUCTION. A number of tcensed individuals appeared before Marshal ‘Yooker yesterday afternoon and complained that they haa been swindled by an auctioneer of this city, Who had advertised to sell a quantity of wi opened packages remaining unclaimed ai the office of Adan rine Company. A ‘mail square box was exhibited by one of thé parties as a saraple of the way in which buyers had been victimized, The box was marked “Jenkins Murphy, Kastou, Pa., C, O. D., $12 40,” and contained pieces of red brick wrapped in brown paper. One hundred of wiese boxes bad been sold at from four to five dollars apiece, the contents ol all correspoading with the one exhtvited, One of the complainants stated that a large box witch was svid contained au entire skeleton, another package a sheep's head wrapped in straw. Others contained rusty pieces of trom, stones, old cloihes aad a variety of non- descript and worthless articies. Of 200 bayera, all of Wivim had parchased packages, not ove obtai an article of the slightest value. A few of the com. plai.ants gave thelr names and the amounts paid by them, as ioliow: “0. S4 Mac- dougai st 76 Williaa at $ Pike street, David 1 Caspar Eilos, of No. 85 Warren street, $6 15 Kearney, of No, bard Primer, of No, 224 West Fort » $10 25, Aral of ey ; ictimized hops ‘ r bie the ckages sold them were not tie origina packages davertisea ( U@.gold, but that they nad Den opened and the worthiess ar 2!@4 agente’ for thoir origi nal contenta, and Mr, Sucas Slated tat he was | informed by a gent swan In the auction rodts ag the time that the buyers were being 80:0, Fay the pack: ages were Worthiess, and that this rd ay him not to buy any more, thal everything sla wai a regular huwibug.” One of (he Vict ms, with a rad. fnl Visage, eLowed his purcla: box filled with tattered, dtacolored and tLawellinig garments. Marshal Tooker opimed that imasmuch as the anc- tloneers had not represented the vy bie the sale was at the buyer's risk, was no redress, buat advised the complaimants to take legal advice. Acting, on this hint they left the office, declaring that It was the “biggest swindlé that ever was got up in New York.” shortly after- wards one of them returved and said that the District Attorney coincided with the Marshal's views on the subject. io 2 CRICKET.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. A Conunterfelter Pleads Guilty. Before Judge Benedict. Frederick Haywood, who was arrested several weeks since and indicted by the Grana Jury yester- tered on his first arraignment to “guilty” of the first count of the indictment. This step was taken un- der the advice of his counsel. Assistant District Attorney Parris thereupon moved a nolle prosequt on the other counts, Which was granted. Toe priso- ner was remanded for sentence. Smugglers Remanded for Sentence. At the last term of this court one Price was con- victed of smuggling cigars on Staten Island and was remanded for sentence. While ruminating on the stave of his affairs, present and to come, be wi moved to impart a little information to the District Avlorney with the hope it might operate in his iavor by reducing the term of his imprisonment. This information ‘at once led to the arrest of Gordoa Young and James Arnold, who were immediately taken before the Grand Jury, where they were indicted as contederates of Price in bis smuggit Soeesons. At first they put ona bo!d front an layed tie le of injured innocents, of course piead- “not guilty”? when arraigned on the indictment, Yesterday, however, having n advised of a better way by their counsel, they withdrew that plea and entered that of “guilty.” They were remanded for sentence. Another Smuggler Arrested. Price was brought into court yesterday to be sentenced, and Young and Gordon were also brought up, as stated in the case above. This fact, it 1s said, led to the presence of a man by the name of Charles M. barueti, a reputed sbipmaster, and it was said the friend of the parties. convicted und pleading guilty of smuggling.

WEST POINT. The Examination of the Second Olase—A Signal and Telegraph Drill—How Field Tel- egrapls are Built and Worked—Standing of the Graduating Class in Ordnance, Gannery and Cavalry. West Pornt, June 9, 1869, Now that the examination of the Graduating class has been brought toa brilliant close, the Academio Boara have taken the second class in hand, and to- day the major portion of the six sections of which the class is composed were overhauled in Philosophy, which stands at the head of their third year's course, THE CLASS OF 1870, Ina certain point of view the examination of the second class 18 not considered so attractive an event to outsiders as that of the first class; but to the cadets immediately concerned it is of far more im- portance than the awarding of diplomas to a whole corps of graduating classes, Tlis can be easily un- derstood when the thoroughness of the examination of the second class is taken into consideration, It rarely happens that any cadet who may have fought the good. ght well, from the ranks of the fourth class until he has finally become a member of the first class, is found deficient at the end of the year, when it becomes a question who are worthy of being entered on the army register as oflicers o; Uncle Sam, and this simply because the examina- tion of the second class aimost always decides the fate of every ieee for West Point graduation honors. Not that the examination of the graduat- ing class 1s legs severe than that of the ciass which comes after it, but simply because the great stamb- ling bioc® for drones and stupids is the final over- hauling which the second class _géts yearly before it merges into honors of a higher degree. No better illustration of this fact can be given than that af- Jorded by the class which will leave the post on the 16th inst. as officers of the army. iE a ? back to recommence the studies of the ear, and two were found deficient and;com| wo bia ‘a farewell to West Point as cadets. It will thus be sceu that the examination of the second class is one that nas no small terrors for its members. This year it numbers sixty-one jets, and i every one ‘of them sould succeed tn hams A he Rubicon of rit be @ larger one than any which the academte course the of 1870 for many a year. It will, however, be lant exception to second classes of previong if some one of the members do not succumb struggic that has already begun. In the examination this morning the sections that were called up showed an astonishing proficiency im the subject upon which they were examined— Natural aud Experimental Philosopiiy. The text books consulted by the class tn this study are Bart lett’s Mechanics, Acoustics and Optics; and, al- though the learned authority himeelf, wuo hi to be the head professor of these brancles in Academy, cross-questioned the various sections in vigorous style, the cadets proved themselves so strong in optics that they were able to ‘see stars’? by the million when it came to astronomy. A SIGNAL DRILL, One of the most interesting drills which have taken place since the examination exercises were 0} was had to day. It was what 1s called a sij and telegraph drul—signaliing by means of and building a field teiegrapu. Aithougn very few ba sons but those immediately concerned in the drill were able to comprehend inuch about the rit attracted considerable attention, and was upon with a great deal of inceresé by the oilicers of te Post. The signal ‘Was probabiy Lud most at- tractive feature of the Whole aaafr.

The batteries that were fised in the dri differ very much from the ordinary batteries common. to most telegraph companies, one of their principal ad- vantages over the ordinary kind being the impuuity with which they can be thrown into and carried tin the wagons.
