Before Chief Judge funt and a full bench. Prederick RK. Schettl gr, administrator, vs. Law rence Shuster Smith. The plainuft appealed from a Judgment rendered, at a General Term of the Supreme Court ailirming, with costs, judgment rendered in favor of the degendants in an action brought for the construction, of the will of John M. Smith, to set aside cer'ain devises contained therein, on the ground Anat they violated the rule againgst perpetmitics, The testator devised his estate, Ing of property, real and personal, ‘the amount of nearly $200,000, in four juai shares, distributed among his four children, je attempted to exclude his daughter Cornelia, in ease sheshould marry Schetter. Tae deiendant is the only surviving child of the testator, and oy his con- struction of the will, the entire estate, it is claimed, will go to his children. The plamtf’ interposes to revent this, and claims that by the proper construc ion of the will he is legally entitled to the entire income of the fourth share. On vebalf of Schettier, it 8 alleged that the devises ia the will are void on account of remoteness, and that the terms of the tustrument, though indicating the desire of the tes- tator to take from his daughter Cornelia her proper share of the inheritance, are so vague and conflict fbg in character that we purpose intended is not etlected. Case on. SUPREME COURT—CHAMSERS. Liabilities of Stock Holders. Before Jadge Clerke. Raiph M. Pomeroy vs. George E. Cock as Treasurer Of the Butterfield Overland Despatch Company.—This was a motion made by certain stockholders of the company to open a judgment, The action was brought on two dratts drawn by William Martin, agent, upon George EF. Cock, treasurer of the Despatch Company, New York. The object sought to be attained is the enforcement of the liabilities’of the stockholders as members of a joint stock company. ‘The defence set up that the drafis were drawn py Martin as agent of the Overland Despatch Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Kansas, and that, thereiore, the stockholders of But- terfield’s Overiand Despatch are not lable for the drafts, In opposing the motion the plaintiff proved by the deposition of George E. Cock that Martin Was the agent of Butterfleld’s Overland Despatch, and that he was duly authorized to draw the drafts, which were therefore binding on the company. Both the piaintii! and the company are now insol- vent, and the present is a test case of several others, involving moneys to the amount of two or three hundred thousand dollars. Tne Judge took the pa- pers and reserved his decision. A Racy Affair—Connubial Infelicity in High Life—A “Patent”? Divarce, Before Judge Clerke. Charlotte B, Nichols vs, Alexander R. T, Nichols.— Tt appears by the papers in this case that in April, 1869, the plaintiff commenced an action to obtain a divorce from the defendant on the ground of adul- tery, which atie alleges he committed with ‘an un- known female” at No. 30 East Twelfth street, New York. One Oscar W. Smith made an alidavit that defendant could not be found at bis home or at tho places he had been accustomed to fre- quent, and on this an order was issued by Judge Cardozo for service of process by publication, No answer or appearance having been made, Judge Barnara referred the case to Mr. William fi. Tracey, who took testuumony and reportea thaton the 6th of May, 1800, the plaintiff and de- faudant were married; that on the 16th of Marca, 1864, at the house aiready referred to, the defendaut cominitted adultery with some unknown woman, and that the plaintid’ was, theretore, entitled to a decree of divorce. Henry B. Harrison was examined as a witness be- fore the releree, and swore that he lived at the ‘Compton House, corner ef ‘twenty-fourth street and Third avenue, and was a real estate agent, doing busines “principally on the street; that he became Soquainted with tle parties in the present action, @ud that on the 16th of March he was standing at a stable in Twelfth street, west of University place, when he saw the defendant go into au assigaation house opposite, accompanied by a strange woman. On the Iuth of July, 1869, Judge Barnard granted an order contitming the referee’s report and granung a decree of divorce. The defendant now moves to have tle wuole proceedings set aside on the ground of fraud. He says that in 1863 the plaintiff eloped and went to Europe with a man named Henry Gebvhard, whom he had himself introduced to her, and whom he believed to be & man mm =whom he could repose implicit confi- dence. ‘The pariies by agreement with the captain of the steamer on which they sailed left in @ pilot boat, Which took them to Falmouth, Bagiand, and they Immediately proceeded to make a tour of the Continent, and passed everywhere as man and wife. In i969 they returaed to New York, and re- aided for some time with Gebnaru’s father. In the mouth of July the defendant saw the marriage of aint’ and Gebliard announced in one of the Kew ‘ork daily papers. ‘The defendant, on inquiry, ascertained that the decree o1 divorce to be pro- duced before the clergyman before he would celebrate the nuptials. The first knowledge he obtained of the matter was by seeing the marriage announced in the papers. Atthe time when plain- Uf’s witnesses swore he could not be found he had @ place of business at his brother's, at No.9 Pine Bireet, which was weil Known to her, The evideuce of Harrison, it is claime.!, was puce fabrication. In furtuer support of the motion David J, Price swears that ne was in the employ of Orson A, House, an attorney, having an oiice at No. 78 Nassau street; that the picture shown lim Js @ likeness of a war colonel, Who came to lus office and stared that he ‘wished to procure a@ divorce for a lady from her hus- ohna, The witness also identified another picture as that of Mrs, Niciols, who subsequent ly accompanied the colone: to the oilice. He aiso testifies that he did not swear w the document purporting to be hla affidavit, but merely signed it, and that the testimony of Harrison is ail in the handwriting of House, Giloert B. Wood swears, farther, that he had beeu informed by David J. Price that House, the attorney, was in the habit of ‘using different kinds of ink im the preparation of epee in such cases. EMingham H. Nichois’ am avit states that in a conversation he had with Mr. W. Northrup, who appears on the record as attorney for piaintist, he adinitted to hun (deponent) that he never had anytiing to do with the case, merely permitting his name to be used by House (or Howes), and that he had no doubt the whole pro- ceedings were sham. ‘the evidence of Harrison, it is claimed, is a pure fabrication. His statement that ie boaras, and hag boarded for three vears, at the Compton House is off Bei by the aidavit of Alexander ilaushe, clerk of the hotel, who swears that no person of that name is Known tere or has been there during the past year. The owners of the stables opposite swear that they aye heard of such a man. ‘The statement that icnols got out of a stage is oilset by the fact that the date given (March 16, 1803) was Sunday, on which day no stages ran. hols, in his amMdavit, denies ever having known or heard of fiarrison, and charges that his statement is wholly and maticiousiy untrue, and must have been known to be such by the person miaking it. He further charges the plait with adultery previous vo the granting of the divorce. The reference of the case was made on July 6, 1869, ‘Tracy delivered his opinion in favor of tue divorce on the 7th, the decree of divorce was flied on the fo Gebhard and Mra. Nichols were married at the house of Gebhard’s father on the lth. Nichols 18 a young man of good family and fine Personal appearance. Le was possessed of consid- @rabie property. Mra. Nichols also had a fortane ‘of about $100,000, a portion of which she took with her in her elopement, firing & power of attorney to Wm. D, Gebhard, the brother of the colonel, over the remainder, Colonel Gebhard 1s a native of Schoharie, and was ior a short time Assistant Quar- termaster General on the staff of Governor Fenton. The Court granted the order setting aside the decree and all prior proceedings, at the same timo remarking that the matter must not stop here, He had known for some time of this man, House, and his advertising, and he thought it high time a check should be put to such practices. He would therefore Airect that the papers be sent before the Grand Jury. House made no appearance in opposition to the @otion, Sveriing & Waldron and ex-Judge Porter for magtion.

Alter Murphy had got to lus room at No. 23 Cherry street Badger made his appearance, and seemng Murphy’s sister-in-law he asked if Murphy had got home, She pointed to him asieep on the bea, whereupon Badger became quite communicative to the young woman and told her that he had known Murphy tweive months. He went to lie down by the side ot him, when she told lun not to do that, ag Murphy worked hard all the week and wanted rest, Badger soon a(ler got up to go away and she favited him to come to tea with them next Sunday.

IMPROVIN Repaving the Streets of the City~The Belgian, Nicolson and Concrete Pave ments—The Cobble Stones to Disap- penr—Madison Square and City Hail Park—F.fth and Sixth Avenues, G@ NEW YORK. No one denies that New York is 4 metropolitan city, in fact, the metropolis of the country. It 1s 80 pre-eminently in point of the industrial enterprise nd activity of its people. Hardly @nything bas been left uirlione that private enterprise could do to enhance the city’s prosperity and its metropolitan mportance, and to send still further abroad its already wide-reaching influence. In the banks are centred the monetary interests of the whole nation, from the Aroostook to the Colorado, from the Green Mountains of Vermont to the Llanos Estacados of Texas, Its railroad connections, a thousand fold more potent than were the arms of Briareus, gird the Continent and hold the wealth of forty millions of people in their grasp, making it tributary to this mighty centre as the veins and arteries of the human body are tributary to the heart, giving and recewing, each in turn. In point of architectural embeliishment New York, in spite of its youth as the metropolis of America, has achieved almost wonders. In every other respect wherever and whenever 1t depended on private enterprise to advance the city’s greatness in all that nowadaya pertains to the greatness of a community, it never failed, and when not at once and spontaneously coming forth to put out its foree for the end desired it was never appealed to in vain by the more sagacious and far-sgeing. There are only two cities in the civilized world that exceed New York in population—London and Paris—yet it is as large now as Paris was in 1856 and as Lomdon was in 1861, and either in wealth or in public spirit it is not behind these two cities; but it 1s beiind them, says the writer of a pamphlet lately distributed privately among our citizens, “in comprehending the plan of agreatcity and in applying its best ability to the execution of such a plan. These cities owe much of their grandeur to government expenditure. New York can show proportionately more, as the result of private and individual expenditure, than elther of them; and there is no reason, save our own indii- ference, why the future of New York, so soon to Bur- pass them tn population, should be tu ary respect inferior to them,’? This 1s true, and corroborates the views long ago expressed by many judges. If New York of the present day does not excel both Paris and London in all that contributes to make @ great aud grand city, it is not the fault of private liberality and indi- vidual munificence, but rather that of tne slowness, though it cannot be said lukewarmness, of our municipal authorities, It is conceded by all who have visited Paris within late years and have had opportunities to compare that city with ovher great and prominent cities on the Continent or the British isies, that besides the fact of its being a city and the residence of an imperial court, and filled with daily humdrum of busy, flying thousands, there ig no comparison to be made. In architectural beauty, in regularity of street arrangements, in per- fection of sewerage, in fact in everything that imay be combined to make life in such a human beebive not only endurable but pleasant, comfortable and even luxurious, Paris 13 a3 much above every other city in Europe as Stewart's SS @ele palace on Fifth avenue is above the omy gored residenreg in Bond street.

It is com- Piained, however, that this year she has been made to appear three inches shorter, thi lacing her Within the limits of the third class.

Where it is necersary to consider conflicting interests, and to be just and fair to all instead of repressing tuem with the strong hand of brate force, tuat resolutencss of action, that rapidity of execution 80 peculiar to the despotic rule of the “one man power” can never be had. “Large bodies move slowly,” and espe- clally when all integral parts of such 1at bodies have to be consulted upon each proposed forward movement and the consent obtained of at least a majority of them, It but too often happens tue old proverdD turns out true, that ‘too way cooks spoil the broth.” This is an incident of the system of government here, and cannot be compiained of, for tt is no evil in the long run. The “secon sober iv? regulates matters m the end, and there is greater pride in @ great people themselves comprehending the necessity of grand improvements and taxing themselves With tieir own consent for their accomplishment than if they were commanded as par ordre de mujti, like #0 many dumb serfs, to do what the power above them wills, Itwas tersely and expressively said by Mayor Hall, in his first message to the Common Council, that “in this country every great scheme Qves through three puasea—the phase of talking and writing about it, the phase of quarelling about incans and ways for it, and then ond age of periecting tt.’ In regard to no other subject has this been so vividly veritied as in the matter of the IMPROVEMENT OF THE STREETS. Indeed, every one recognized the fact that the atroets of New York, up to within a few years, with- out exceplion, were ln a most horrid condition, Go where you will in England or on the Con tinent, among the small cities aud villages, the origin of which dates back to the frst centuries of the Christian era, and where the sloth and imperturbability of the inhabitants rested satified to live as their grandfathers hiyed before them, and the narrow and crooked streets, over the rough and broken cobbies of which a ‘‘soil- tary horseman” or asiow coaci: occasionally bled its way along, could be found in no wor dition, if not in fav better repair, than a majority of the most public thoroughfares, fot to speak of bystreets and janes, of the great city of New Yo It was Ufe common remark of ail travellers visits New York from abroad that such @ state of the streets as they found here would not be tolerated for aday in any provincial town in Burope. And the remark was true, and is parually even so at this day. That this is the opinion of all weil-informed persons 18 shown by the following ex t froma report made to Mayor Hull by a genueman of this city upon the subject:— ‘The general condition of the street pavomente of this city is inferior to that of any other city in this country or Europe that have fallen under my observation, arising, In the fret place, from the tueiicient manner in w! are now lafd;'in the second pl In the thetr repair; and Inatly, trom the absence o Inying of sewers, whereby newiy iaid payemen frequently disturbed to lay asewer, from the want of that ‘accord in the two operations which ‘woul require the #ewers to be frat iaid.

THE CAUSR of this lies, undoubtedly and principally, in the dis- Jointed character of tue clly government. It would lead too to enter now into a history of what has produced this radically wrong system of municipal organization—this co-ord:nation of #0 many inde- pendent departments, each acting separately pay ite own agents, according vo tis own wiil, regardless of the intentions and purposes of any other, But that it is so 1s patent, and also that it has largely contributed to the deplorable condition of the streets turoughout the eity, A striking exaim- le of this, and of how this has worked in individual natances, is given in the report above ciied, in the following words:— By an act of the Legislature the contra) of the streets within the curbs has been transferred to the Croton Aque- duct Board, and there now exists the anomalous position of ‘ono department determining grades and creals of a sircet, and of another aligning aud grading oprbs: As A conse: quence, streets are repaived and new Inciinations given of itters ‘without aby corresponding elevation or depression to we ourbs, The reault of this condition of divi of Thirty-fourth sts coruer of Frankfort street and Park row. ASSESSMENTS, Another cause which has also contributed largely to hinder and delay every projected improvement of the streete has been an assessment clause tn the charter of the cit; seyeey, the whole expense of an improvement to be levied upon the owners of the adjoining bonne it was.required by the same legislative authority that the consent of a majority of the owners of land adjoining a proposed improvement should first be ubtained before it be proceeded with, This in many if not in a majority of cases delayed the desired improvement, and often rendered it tocally impossible.
