Among the /eading property holders who occupied eats on tle placioria Were Messrs, Joseph Parkes, Thomas 1. Wilson, Willian Matthews, Willam Pe. Chaman, J. i. V. Cockey, Jonathan Purdy, John A. Deijanoy and many others, Al clzbt o'clock tne meeting was organized by the election unanimously to the chau of air. Samuel W. Jonnson. The chairman, in explaining the Odyect of the meeting, said that the meeting wanted to hear What Che Commissioners of the Yost Road had to say, and also What the engineer of the road had to gay. ‘There Was not a doubt thar the citizens of Rye were ia favor of ali improvements whicn would mm aby Way benetit tuelr town. The gentlemen who had charge of the road had been pretty rounaly abused, and, he thougtit, very unjustly; and they were met there to bear what these geltiemen bad say in favor of tnetr having wnother lease of life irom those who pl. them ia their positious. Mr. THOMAS K, DONNING Was then introduced and proceeded to address the meeiung. He said ne Was. ‘there Lo give any explasation the taxpayers might call on him to give a8 Commissioner, appointed by the Legislature, of tie Boston Post road. He never hesitaied to face any charge brought against him, and be hoped he should go ander the sod before he would fai to meet every and ull charges brougny against Lim with a clear aad upright conscience.

Tae question now Was, should they have @ further appropriauon w complete the Boston Post road? ‘To bum, as a com. missioner, Wiio Lever received a cent for his services, Mw did not amount to anytiung, but wo him as 4 ciiizen it amounted to a great deal, and be was hearuly in favor of the pro- Ject. As chalman of the commission he conid ‘ay that Ws colleagues were as worthy and proper meu as could be selected for Lue purpuse, and he Knew that aot a cent of inovey had been misap- propriaicd. They nad applied for ap additioual ap. Propriation, based upon the estir of the Giuecr, and he believed i was pertecuy correct. He would go to Albany to-morrow wita the books of the columission and lay everything velore the Legislature, und then these hypocrites and sian- @erers WhO had maligned the commission should take aback seat, (Applause.) He was iuere now to anawer any question which “might be put to hin, and he believed himuseif thoroughly compecent to do 80, as be Was not ashamed of fis record.

The Bark Grapeshot, George Lam Claimant, vs. Wollersteen Massett et, al.; appeal From the Cirenit Court for the Disirict of Louisiana,—The Grapeshot was seized under an Admiralty warrant and sold to pay advances for repairs 1 pursuance of a decree of the District Court below, made before the war, Appeal was taken to the Circuit Court, wherein, November, 1360, an order was mace by Judge Camp- bell connbuing the case, with leave to the parties to take further testimony. The case was In this condition when the war broke out, ana nothing fur- ther was done in it until 186%, When motion was made im tne Provisional Court of Louisfana, established oy President Lincoin in 1862, for a rule requiriog the claimant to show canse why the proceeding should not be removed froin the Circuit Court to watt court. ‘The claimant consented to Ue removal, and Judge Peabody there subsequently affirmed the decree of the District Court. ‘the’ case was brought bere, where 1 was contended that the decree of Jadge iveavody was a puihiy, vecruse MS court Was established without consiituuional authority. The Cher Justice deity ered the opinion of the Court, holding tn substance that the President had the same power to authorize such provisionas courts in the absence of the regu. Jarly copstituted tribunals of the country, as its ter- ritory reoccupied, the same as he had vo esiab- lish Inuitary courts, and wnat their adjudications were } buL Oa the mers the deerce below Was reversed and the case remanded to te it Court now existing tn the place of the Provistonai Court, with directions to refer the account for repairs to comuissiovers, to act under.the insiructions of the Courk. The Justices of the Supreme Court of the Third Jwticial District of New York vs, The United States exrel, Murray & Bucktey.—Toe questions presented for decision to Uns cause were whether the act of Congress providing for the removat of a cause for new triai in the federal court, after fjudgmeat by a State court, is constivutional: and, second, whesher Ube provision of the consutution which deciares that no fact ined by a jury shall be otherwise re-exam- med in any court of the United states than accora- ing to the rules of the common law applies to facts tried by @ jury i @ State court. Mr. Jus- uce Nelson delivered the opinion of the Court, holding substantially that the clause of the act Of 1863 which provides for the removal of causes after judgment from the state to the fed- eral court Was 0t 11 pursaance of the constitution, and was therefore void. Tae conclusions arrived at im respect to the second question stated above amount to ax answer 1n the adirimative, The cause is remanded With directions to aismiss the writ of error to the Stale court and all pro lings under it, ‘Nhis is the false amprisoniment case oi Patric vs. Murray and one of his depaiy ‘shais, and which, afier judgment against the defendants, it was at- tempted vo remove to the Circuit Court of the United Slaves by writ of error uuder the act ut queation, supported by a writ of Mandamus, the judges of the State court decituing to send up tae recora or judg- ment. The United States vs. Henry J. Hosiner—Appeat from the Court of Clatns.—A jndgment was given below for the claimant for $109 bounty for enitst- ment unuer the Presideut’s call for volunteers in 1861, he having been discharged tor digab lily upon a surgeon's certificate. The question was whether, wider che act of Congress ratifying the act of the Executive, the claimant could recover, the act pro- viding that two years’ service should have been ren- dered to eatitie the soidier fo the bounty unless dis- charged for wounds. Mr, Justice Swayne delivered the opmion of the court, holding substantially that the proclamation of the’ President aud the general orders of the War Department stipulating to pay $100 for each volunteer, followed by the enlistment of the claimant, coustituted a valid conteact be- tween the government and the claimant upon which he was eputied to the bounty, he having veen hon- oraply discharged, eyen though he dia not serve two years nor was discharged for wounds, The Jndgment was a‘firmed, Phe Untied States vs. Lewis Merrit Appeal from the Court of Claims.—The question tor decision in tms case was wheiner a colonel of volunieers, who 1 the same time an oiticer of the regular army, was entitled, upon bemg aischarged from (he volun- wer serv aa restunas His duty and rank in the to ibe three Montas? pay given by the . 1854, to ali Officers of volunteers be- ie rauk Of brigadier gencral at the dats of the act, Upolu thely discharge Irom the service. The Court of Cialins guve judgment for the claimant, Which Was now reversed by this Justice Ciifford deiuvering te Court took we view that it lon of Congress that the onicer rece ich pay should pe first discnarged from Ule iailllary service of the United States, and not merely ivoin the volunteer service, aad that it was nol tie purpose of the act to allow three months addivional pay to an oflicer who Was at the same ume drawnig pay and ailowances as an officer of the army. use was remanded, with direc ons to dismiss Lhe petition. ROBGERY OF TH: WAVERLEY NATIONAL BAHK. Waveniey, N. ¥., March 14, 1870, The Waverley National Bank, G. W. Buck, Presi dent, was robved early on Sunday morning. The burglars effected an entrance through a window. ‘The frame of the new outer vault door was wedged off suiticiently to allow aiarge charge of powder to be poured 1, Which was Ignited by along fuse pushed through the opening. ‘The explosion biowed open both doors and shattered the windows of the pullding. The door of the inside safe was then wedged and charged with powder and blown en- lirely off and and across the vault. The contents of the safe were taken except package of bills, wich were blown under the door aud not noticed. ‘The Joss tu the special depositors of the bank is large; that of the bank smali, considerable remittance having been made the day previous, and will not at all interfere with its business or solvency. The bank is in # somewhat retired part of the village, and the explosions seem to have alarmed no one. ‘Fhe usual night occupant of tne bank was absent for tat nivit, and the thieves, evidently on the watch, availed themseives of the opportunity.
