THE WEPT OF WYNOCKIE. ° No Trace Yet of Les Enfants Perdu—The Aid of Clairvoyants Invoked—Singular Superstition. The deeply interesting yet painful narrative of the mysterious disappearance of the three children of Wynockie, on New Year's Day, hus been aiready told, but only in outline. An event so startling and unaccountable deserves more than a passing notice. ‘That children should get lost i the woods, as they frequently do in the streets of the city, is notin It- self a matter for surprise; but that these children should disappear from view suddenly and Jeave no trace of their whereabouts is indeed remarkable. Ever since the discovery was made by Mr. Joseph Wyble that his children were lost a thorough search has been gomg on in the woods and mountains of the wila region where it was supposed they had strayed; every bush for miles round -was examined; every rocky cavity visited, and the narrow river which winds round the mountain was dragged for the bodies of the little ones. Hundreds of people engaged tn the search, aud the whole upper part of the county of Passaic was deeply agitated, The local authorities, as a fur- ther stimulant to those engaged in the merciful search, offered a reward of $100 for the recovery of the three chiidren or any of them, and private citi- zeus weto yeady with their purses to reward bim who should b& sugcessful in rescuing the wept of Wynockie, All effort ttips far, however, has availed nothing; the people havé acttlea down into their ordinary quictude, the mystery 1s still tiiexpiained | and the wretched parents of the lost innocents are jeft to mourn alone. ‘The house in which John Wyble lives, and from whici the children strayed, is built on the side ot @ Valley, about twelve miles north of Paterson and haif a mile beyond Till’s Hotel, on the main road to Long Island. The country round about ta wild, stern, and 1s sparsely inhapited by a people as wild as the land on which they live. The principal occu- pation of the miserable creatures who dwell in the buts on the sides of the mountains ts charcoal burning, and the income derived irom the sale of unis article is their entire support. In winter, when the snow covers the ground, whitens the tree tops aud but half conceals the hideous boulders of rocks that hang threateningly over the valiey; when the voice of the river is hushed ana the flerce tcy wind howls along the mountain side—the scene is dreary and desolate beyond description. _ The weather was mild and calm, though rainy on New Year's Day, though the following days were bitterly cold. Joseph Wyble left his three children, aged ten, eight and #1Xx, respectively, with his wife, and started jor Pompton that afternoon. He was not long gone when the little ones, secing the coast clear, told their mother that they would like to get some nuts, and away they scampered along the side of the-hul and were soou lost to view. When the deepening of approaching night slanted on the road side Mrs. Wyble became alarmed for the safety of the boys, Ter husband soon returning from Pompton she went to the door and called them each by name. The delusive echo only answered. Then the poor people raised an alarm, the news spread, neizh bors gathered and a general search was made. fa the morning, through blinding snow and rain, people came back irom the woods and cliffs with the tidings oftilomen, The children were not to be found. So tiuch gud no more is kiown. But, as superstition clings longest where ignorance prevails, the people round about attributed the diswppearance of the children to more than ordinary causes. The more probable and rational suppositions as to the fate of the lost ones were rejected ana the most absurd stories of demon agency, hobgoblins and ghosts were at once set afloat and widely circulated. These yarns 80 worked upon one of the men that he de- clared to have séen the ghosts of the children, who told him that their throats had been cut by @ negro. A woman much given to the discussion of affinities, and a believer in “spirits’? said she was ia a trance and that while in that state she saw the missing children wander into the woods, foliowed them 19 her mind’s eye, when picked up by a man, putinto a wagéf arid carried of. ‘This manceuvre on the part of the man, appa- rently 50 natural, had a feariul meaning. It was this:—The man was building @ barn, but had ifot money to finisa tt, so he took it into his head to steal the children and hold them until a reward, sufMictent to meet the expense of finishing his barn, was offered for their recovery. The story is inge- nious at least, and yo doubt will add to the fanie of the Spiritualist should the childrengreturn alive, But While it ts strange that such gross r ns Should still exist in a country piace be increased to 400 non-comimismoued oMicers and guberstition ys Z 1 Amer! 4 Sead Me Few ome ssa oF Tlegapiy' ls | PMs Sinetae Aull tak respenae pons =“. “i an the city of Paterson should be so infatuated as to Emi, nt f BE iho believe such absurd stories.

THE LAW'S DELAYS. Administration of Civil Justice in This City— Great Necessity for « Reform in the Present Practice of the Courts—Effect of the Judi- ciary Amendment in Cases of Appeal—A Remedy. ‘The community have long felt the necessity of a more speedy administration of civil justice. Under tho existing system there are three courts of co-ordl- nate jurisdiction, and it ts opttonal with the plain- Uff in which of them he will commence his sult and bring it totrial, In whichever of them he may com- mence he is met with a delay of twenty days before his adversary is required to answer, and this period is often extended by order of the Court to forty and even sixty days. Very often an answer good on its face 18 then interposed, and if this happens towards the close of @ month another month tnter- venes before the cause can be put on the calendar, because the calendar is made up at the beginning of the month, and a notice of four- teen days must be given before the case can be placed on it, Having at last, after all this delay, ar- rived there the parties must wait until tneir cause 18 reached, which in the Supreme Court will take about three years, nearly as long in the Court of Common Pleas, and, perhaps, a year in the Superior Court. In the meantime the defendant may fail or one of the parties die, or some other accident hap- Den, which will increase the delay, or even deprive the party of his remedy altogether. It is true that, ina few exceptional case3, in whicn the trial does not occupy more than one hour, the Court can take it out of its order, place it at the head of all otner Causes and try it, Buteven in such @ case, if the tial lasts more than an hour, it can be broken off and the cause sent to the footof the calendar. Per- sons familiar with proceedings in courts can readily imagine that it is quite easy fof @ counsel tu spin out ® cage so as to make it occupy more than the hour in its trial, and thus insure delay. But there are ob- Jections in principle to the practice which gives one suitor @ priority of hearing over another who has first commenced his suit, merely pecause tt will take leas time to try the last case. THR PRESENT PRACTICB UNJUST TO ALL—~A CASE IN POLST. ‘There is no justice in the practice. An impartial administration of justice demands that each case shal be heard in its turn; that no private individual shall have preference over another, and that the time necessary to a full investigation of the merits shail be devoted to it, whether that pe an hour or a day. An illustration will suow how this practice of plac Ing fome causes ahead of others can be proauc- tive of great iujustice, A and Beach have a claim agaist ©; that of A arises out of several ansac- tons, that of B ona single transaction. A’s sutt cannot be tried in an hour, but must take its place on the calendar, there to remain two or three years. B commences bis suit two years after A, in the same court, and, because by accident the trial can be fin- ished tn an hour he takes precedence of A, gets his judgment and collects ,his money 81x months before A has atrial, And if, in the interval, the debtor fails, A bas not only profited nothing by his vigi- lance, but enjoys the satisfaction of paying a large bill to nis counsel for his services in pro- curing @ judgment which is worth nothing to him. Even where the debt is not loss to the cre- ditor the delay in enforcing payment of his inoney is often productive of great hardship, and sometimes even of financial ruin, It is true that the law allows seven per cent interest for delay, but this mnverest is not compounded; and if a sult should last ten years, as often happens, and the debtor, should then be responsible ne will have to pay sim- pie interest for the time during which he has haa the use of the money, and perhaps been able to double it by some commercial enterprise, thus actu> ally profiting by his disnonesty, whiie the creditor whose mouey be has been using hus been cramped tn is business for the want of it, or been obliged to borrow at usurious rates to save himsell, It needs no arguinent Co show that this i# ail wrong, and that a change for tie beiter suould be effected with as little delay as is consistent with the im- portance of the subject. ‘There should be a court, not hampered by a ‘too extensive juris diction over every variety of cases, but whose Jurisdiction should be mainly contined to commer- cial cases, and @ creditor should be able to com- Tmence his suit and have a trial instde of thirty days. ‘The idea of giving @ man twenty days, and some- tmes jorty, “or even sixty, to say wether he owes the amount claimed or not is a positive nard- ship, Five days--are ample for the purpose. 50, too, is it unjustin the city to require fourteen days notice of trial, because 1 never means fourteen days, but as many years ag it will require to reach the case, In the couutry, where all causes can be tried within a week of the commencement of the term, there may be some sense in the requirement of the notice, but here in the city it Is perfecuy absurd. Then, again, why should the notice be re- quired to be given for an arbitrary day, which in practice 18 the first Monaay of the mouth? It would be just ag stmple to give it for any other day in the month, and place the cause on tie calendar and tin- aes see A knwabyY—tits AMuNDENT TO TES CONSTITUTION DEMANDS 1. een To the question How can these evils be reine: died? there is but one answer. Justice must be made certain and speedy, and in order to accom- plish this there must be more judges or existing courts must be changed, saat their work wiil be more evenly divided. he recent amendment of the constitution provides for three additional judges for the Court of Common Pieas, which will make six judges in that court; but, even witn the addi- tionai number, that court will be unable to do more than the Superior Court has done, which has had 81x Judges for the las. twenty years, and is now a Year in arrear of its business. It cannot bedeniea that as population increases litigation likewise increases, and prudent and sagacious legislation will require the number of judges to be in propor- tion to the population. The Legisiature certainly possesses the power to make some changes for the better. ‘The existing Marie Court, which now has jurisdiction only to the amount of 3500, and three Judges, who are kept constantly occupied, Can, by an increase in the number of its judges and in its jurisdiction, be made to accom- plsh nedrly, Uf not altogether, what is demrable. In that court-a suit can be commenced and tricd within two months, for the reason that parties are required to answer within a week or ten days, and the cause 13 Wen at once placed upoh the calendar for trial without furthernotice. There 1s no earthly reason Why that court should any longer be limited by the amount involved in the case. A court which can decide a controversy involviag $500 can jusi as well decide one involving $5,009; and as the course of procedure is specdy, that would be the most de- sirable tribunal ior commercial cases, It wil be readily seen that an increase i the amount over which it has jurisdiction, without a corresponding increase in the uumper of judges, would be of no practical beneit, because, ag the existing judges have enough of work to do 4s it is, an increase im the number of suits would produce only the same deiay which now cxists in the other courts. The prover remedy, therefore, i to increase tbe* jurisdiction and nuimber of judges of tiiat couri, and at the same ume prescribe toe practice, so a8 to imake ic as speedy as it is now. Except as regards the unnecessary waste ef time its proceedings and practice shouid be governed by the existing Code of Procedure. Some legisiatioa in respect to that court is absolutely necessary, because by the present constitution no judge can sit in review of his own decision, and tf, as it sometimes happens one judge should be related to ono of ths parties, and therefore incompetent to try the case, and another judge shouid try it, as he musi, and an appeal be taken irom his decision, whtok must be vat bs ieald, Beate af ARAL jogos mast a hear the appeal, and thoy must concur in the judgment pronounced. Now, in the case supposed the first judge could not participate in the’ decision because of his Peart the second because he had decided the case, and the third alone could nos hear any appeal. Even four judges would not be enough, because au appeilate ‘tribunal should never consist of less than three judges, so a8 to insure a majority one way or we other; otherwise no decision cowl be pronounced. ‘There should be at ieast five judges. A suggestion may pe made here which, if acted on, Wonld aiso tend to the relief of all tie courts, Much of the time of courts and jurors is wasted in decid- ing trivial cases, such as slander, libel, false tipri- sonment, assaults and batteries aud the like. These casea are very often brought in the higher courts, because, if a verdict is obtained for fifty dollars, the costs will amount to more than ove hundred; and if ‘the verdict 15 less than flity the costs are ag much as the verdict. Sometimes days are occupied in the trial of one of these cases. It is true that the courts discourage these suits, but the parties have a right to bring them there, and the syiopathies of the jury @re usually such that they bring @ verdict which will carry costs. Tne propes tribunals for these petty cases would be the district courts, the judges of which have littie to do, and get a salary as high as that of our higher courts. A law should be passed investing them witb jurisdiction in all such cascs, and reileving the bigter courts of their consideration, except in cases of more than usual importance, and at the same time punishing wiih costs any party who should thereafter bring a trivial cage of that description into the higher courts, The hardships and actual evils arising from the present practice of vhe courts, imposed .by the ex- isting laws, are daily increasing, hampering and retarding the dispensation of justice. Some ade- quate redress is urgently needed, and this to a con- siderabie, and, tndeed, to the fall extent in the parti- cular cases referred to above, will be found in the romedies and suggestions submitted. The present Legislature seems to go infor promptaction. Let this question of oar law courts be taken up and also be promptly dealt with in the manner we have pointed out, and judges, lawyers and the community at iarge will gratefully acxnowledge that good cau come out of Nazareth. CO BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. The Bald-Headed Sinner and the Fourteen Year Old Beauty. A Soiled Young Dove—Oyster Saloons and Assiguation Houses—The Amatory Correspondence of a Girl of Fourteen. At the Court of Special Sessions yesterday a case was tried beiore Judges Dowling and Bixby that had Teatures in it so strange as to elicit from the pre- siding Judge the observation “that nothing sO remarkable had come within the range of his long and varied experience; and had he known that it would have had the developments it turned out to have he would have given a special day for it, 30 that there might nave been a ilttle more daylight thrown into the dark doings of New York youthful profligacy.’? ‘The defendant at the bar was ‘thomas Miles, a bar- tender in an up-town drinking saloon, a lean, hungry, Cassius-looking inaividual, of about forty years, with @ bald head, yellow hair (the litte he had), gray eyebrows and ferrety eyes. This attractive Adonis, who was clad in a coarse, brown kerseymere suit, nad found favor in the dark. sparkling eyes of ayoung Venus named. Adelaide Sarah Colbourn, of 176 Grand street, the complainant in the case, She was pretty brunette, with an in- telligent face, piquant in its expression, and she was neatiy attired in clothing with some preten- sions to fashion. She was not Only pretty, but in- telligent, and acute far beyond her years; so much 80 a8 to baile the cross-examining powers of a wary counsel, and almost a match for the astute and rapid — discernment of Judge Dowling. ‘The offence for which Milles was arraigned was, nominally, disorderly conduct, but, really the send- ing of an obscene and filtnily worded letter to this young lady—so dreadfully gross in its ianguage that itis @ satisfaction to think that noting but a dis- eased imagination could have had anything to do with its production. ‘ Miss Coibourn, on taking the chair on the stand, assumed an attitude of calm and quiet repose, with her hands in her mutf, and serenely awaited the in- quiries of the Court.

PET'S LOVE LETTERS. Mr. Howe—You have written some letters to Mr. Mills, I believe ? Miss Colbourn—I have, a good many. Mr. Howe—You have signed some of these “Pet,” I believe? Miss Colbourn—Yes, sir, I have. Mr. Howe—Was this because you were pettish, or because you were lus pet? , Miss Coibourn—Well, it was the name he used to ail me, and as he seemed vo like 1t i signed 1t. Mr. Howe—In these letters did you ask him to sup- ply you with money ? Pet (with a feminine shake of the head and panto- mimic indignation)—Nover, sir. Fourtn Aver. Drar Frrenp—If you remember, I told you thai I should not come out on Thursday ; but I could not come on Friday on account of the sudden change in the weather, which made me feel very unpleasant. But I said at that time 1 would drop you 4 mote if T could not come. I intended to come all right i I can, om Saturday evening.

Before the counsel had got half way through this letter “Pet said she had not written the letter, though previously she bad had the bundle inher hand and haa said, after glancing them over, that Cone letters were very likely to have been written yy her. Mr. Howe—Will you kindly point out, without reading them, which letters you have written? The bundle was then given to her again and she was asked to pick out which was her writing and Which was not. With a calmness and quietness that would have been natural ana becoming had she been alone, she placed the epistolary collection on the top of her muff, threw herself back in her chair and seleged one irom the pile of manu- scripts and proceeded deliberately to read it. Counsel and Court endeavored to make it plain to the mind of this “youthtul mnocent” that 16 was only the handwriting they wished identified po ate ay ene matter; bus the be nae to ay iy Tet, Qe esp i? at ahg ‘4 could not gay a | Perit wet inher handirettag? without reading them through; and haying deilvered herself of tnia remark in quite a nonéhdlant man- ner, she proceeded with her reading—the crowded ‘court waiting—Court, counsel, reporters and spec- tators indulging in @ little badinage ut her expense while the perusal was going on; but it did not inter- fere in the slightest degree with the cool demeanor of “the little lady.’ Pet then handed a small selection which she had put on one side as genuine productions to the coun- sel for the defence, and the other bundle she handed to the Court, who told the counsel that these were the “rejected addresses.” Mr. Howe—Tahis ia your letter, Le ar toed | it)— where you sing the popular song of “Captain Jinks, of the Horse Marines”:— Nw Yorkx, April 14, 1889.

A Good Work—Establishment of a Home for Wounded Veterans on Ward’s Island. It has been said that “republics are ungrateful,’? and the saying is not entirely devoid of truth, taking into consideration the vast number of maimed veterans of the late war who are to-day wandering through the streets of various Northeyn cities beg- ging for the necessities of life, mainly because the government has failea to provide suitable provi- sions for their maintenance.’ New York has its fall quota of this class of ynfortunate humanity. At the close of the war propositions to found sojdiers’ homes and asylums were made in profusion, aud iv the words of would-be philanthropiets could have Possibly come true, mugh of the misery and degra- dation to be seen would have been obviated; but, like the statue that was to have been ‘erected in Union square to the memory of President ‘Lincoln, has been forgotten. During the past year there was an effort made by a number of humane ladies of this city to estab- lish a home for crippled soldiers, but the project fell through for the want of a sufiicient amount of funds to carry out their scheme. ‘The Almshouse, on Blackwell's Island, was ° filled witu poverty stricken, one armed and one legged soldiers as early as November last, and 80 rapidiy did they accumulate that the subject at last drew the attention of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, who held a special meeting on the 17th of that month aad caused to be issued the zollowing order:— Whereas numbers of volunteer United States soldiers, by reason of wounds and infirmities, have become inmates of the hospitals and almshouses of the department, it is there- fore Ordered, That the Warden of the Almshouse cause con- tiguous wards to be fitted up for such as shall have certiticates of honorable discharge, of who, to his. satisfaction, hall show that they were honorably discharged from the Serres is of the United States, by reason of having received while 19 spt of duty, apd iat they yr contracted disens Q be provided wit bos cota tte titinmntgs OF aU TEER UoLe Hospitals serete (Pom that on Immediately after the promulgation of this benevo- lent order the soldiers in the various pauper asylums on Blackwell’s Island were gathered together, fur- nisned with warm, comiortable army clothing and transterred to the Incurable Hospital, where they were assigned to wards ecatirely separate from the nual patients until suitable apartments could be pro- videu ¢isewhere. The Commissioners in the month of DecéMuct selected the east wing of the Inebriate Asylum on ‘prd’s Island as their future home, and after making cOMsderable alterations they were transferred to that institution during Christinas week, where they are at présent under the charge of Dr. Fisher.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 1870. To tae Epitor oF THE HERALD:— This week | was employed by a foreman in a work- shop, who gave me materials, &c., ine friendly and polite manner. Before I could commence opera- tions, however, a workman asked me if I belonged to “the Union.’ Lrepiied that I was @ member, but not a paid-up one. He demanded my ‘working card” which I could not produce. He then told me that I could not work in that shdp, ayd the foremag me thas he could not interfere, The proprietor ald he was altogether under the control of ‘the Union.” Of course I leit before being forcibly ejected. Now, Mr. Editor, cam any one call this freedom, where irresponsible parties refuse to allow an todi- vidual to work who has been emiployed by tne pro- prietor or his representative, whose only business seems to be to find capital, material, orders, &c., put who have no more to do with ewploying hands than “the man in the moon?” Js this the boasted {ree- dom of our institutions? Are foreigners, supposed to be ground out of Europe by the heel of despotism, dearth of employment and starvation wages, to be received as brothers on our hospitable and prospe- rous shores only to become themselves the acme of tyranny to natives? Freedom of the press and Speech are the grand paliadium of our liveryy. Why not trade be placed in the same category? ‘the trio would be strong a8 adamant, and would secure our liberty and prosperity while this giobe revolved. But what i the result of this overstraining of “union” principles? We see it in the case of ship. building, when we enter our shipyardy, now deserts, where the sound of the mallet and the hum of busy Voices are heard no more. If a ship need re- pairs, even @ bolt tigutened, she goes ‘down Bust,'? for the simple reason that she can get it done were twice as cheap. The publishers of New York, ex- cept those that keep workshops themselves, send all their woek out of the city for a similiar reason. The bricklayers, &c., of this city were wholly tdie during the last strike, and there has been but little work for them or the carpenters, painters, plasterers, &c. since. Our prestige for industry, employment ‘and good pay is supplanted by tyranny of the most gali- ing description, which must eventually rain our Em@- poe Clty, as it has done so many others in ail ages, y uliowlng @ foreign exotic to become a devouring monster.

Holcomb’s business for years past has compelled him to be constantly travelling in the country ip search of customers, and several years ago, while stopping at the hotel of Mr. Bishop, at Cenverpors, Long Island, he formed an attacnment for’his host's little daughter, then about twelve years of age. Feeling an interest in her he persuaded her father to appoint nim guardian over his motherless child, and control the few hundred dollars left her, which ahe Was not entitled to until she became of age. He watched her with jeaious care, and invariably upon visiting the house would bestow upon ols young ward some token of affection in the shape of presents. His ward grew to be a handsome young lady, who longed for more excitemens than her simple country home afforded her, and, alter continually listening to the stories related by her guardian of the “gay and festive” life she might enjoy did she reside in the city, her curiosity became excited, and she begged of her guardian w allow her to accompany him on one of his return trips.
