Laurent.—This was a reference to fix the application of surplus moneys. ‘The referee having reported that Margaretta Ahearn, as the assignee of a mortgage of $1,000, was en- Utled to the money, the other party, claiming by virtme of a judgment recovered against the mort- Pa excepted to the report. It was competent on te hearing before the referee for the judgment ereditor to impeach the mortgage, or show that ing was due on It, or that it was a mere The bond and mortgage were given to secure the mortgagee im becoming ball for @ party who had been arrested. No damage having been suffered by him, he assigned the bond and mortgage to Miss Ahearn, she giving her note for $1,000, which was immediately returned to her. The cousideration for which the bond and mortgage were given, and that of the transfer to Miss Ahearn, Including the return of the note, having been proven. the mortgagee who had thus received and assigned the mortgage was called, and several questions put to him for the purpose of proving that nothing was due on the roto, pa were objected to and ruled out by ihe referee, In this he erred. It 1s true that the lady says she paid $1,000 for the bond and mort- gage. But that is to be taken in connection with Tue evidence as to the giving and return of the note tor thatsum, The conclusion, from all the proofs thus far received, would seem to be that nothing ‘Was due on the bond and mortgage. A full oppor- tunity to show that should have been given to the contestant, The exceptions are therefore sustained, THE HOMELESS POOR. ‘How the Institute on Madison Avenue i» Recruited@—A Prominent and Wealthy Member of the Society Attempts to Kidnap a Child on Broadway. Mrs. Sarah A. Stillman, residing at No, 40 East Twenty-elghth street, and a prominent member of the Society for the Protection of the Homeless Poor, ‘was arraigned at Jefferson Market yesterday after- moon, charged with attempting to kidnap a little boy, ten years of age, named John Rielly. From the affidavit of young Rielly, who 1s a very handsome boy, it appears that he was crossing Broadway, near Twenty-ninth street, just betore dark on Tuesday evening, when a tall, gaunt- looking woman, dressed in black, suddenly seized him by the arm and attempted to drag him forcibiy down Twenty-ninhth street. The little fellow im- mediately commenced to scream at the top of his voice, and attracted the attention of several gentlemen, who stopped to ascertain the cause of the disturbance, The woman belng asked what right she had to handle the boy so roughiy, replied that he answered the description of achild lost by a neighbor of hers, and that she was taking him along to find out if he was the lost child. This ex- lanation, however, did not satisfy the parents of ke boy, and on the next day they obtained a war- rant for the arrest of Mrs. Stillman. The ‘warrant was placea in the hands of officer Kelly, of tne court squad, who executed Mt on yesterday. While young Reilly was on the witness stand Mrs, Stiliman made several attempts to {rghten him by propounding, in sten- vorian tones, aera something like the foilow- ing:—“Didn't | say to you, ‘Bobby, ddu’t be fright- ended; I am not going to burt you?’ you are on your oati.” down her hand on the holy book in an emphatic manner—on the Bible. Reassured by the ‘presence of his mother, the Mttle fellow answered all the questions of his tormentors guite cooliy, and established beyond a doubt the intentiop of the defendant to forcibly ab- duct him. —“s basen ; After hearing all the evidence in the case, Judge Bhandley committed Mrs, Stillman for trial in ue- fault of $300 bail. “Remember Here the lady brought BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.

A large amount of routine business was disposed of, after which Commissioner Wood, from the Auditing Committee, reported that the committee had examined bills amounting to $6,903 94; had found the items correct, and there- fore recommended theixy payment, The report was adopted, REPORTS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT were received, recommending the immediate re- moval of wrecks of piers at the foot of Forty-seventh and Fifty-ninth streets, North river; the repalring of bulkhead at the foot of Twenty-third and ‘'wenty- fourth streeis, Bast river, and of pier 19 Kast river.

To Tag Epiror or THY HeERaLp:— Iwas not a jittie surprised at an articie In yester- day’s HERALD headed ‘First Fruits of the Grand Ratiroad Combination.” The writer of that articie has done great injustice to the managers of tne “three great trunk lines” running from New York to the West, These powers are so equally balanced that they, taken collectively, are the greatest bene- factors to the commercial interests of tts country, and superiatively so to the travelling community. Look back five years only and compare a trip then from New York to Chicago—say by the New York Central Railroad—with that made now. Then, leaving New York at half-past six P. M., at half-past eleven the same night you were aroused from your drowsiness by the conductor’s shout, ‘East Albany ! Change cars for the West.” Down you went to the ferryboat and over the river, then @ rush for the best location you can get in the walling cars. Thirty minutes thereafter (that time being devoted to thoroughly “smashing” your baggage) you were om. At eleven A. M, change cars again at Buffalo, then again in the evening at Cleveland, at midnight a repetition at Toledo, bringing you to Chicago about ten or eleven A. M. on the third day, How is it now? You can step into a palatial drawing room car, whose appointments savor more of luxury than many of the houses of our wealtiuest citizens, and in thirty hours be landed in Chicago without once being necessitated to leave the car for food, arink or lodgings, and ail this (at the present writing) at an expense of less than three cents per mile. Has this great change been wrought by the combination of these men you call monopolists? No; it Was brought about by the enterprise of ihe Erie Raulway, who reached out her broad gauge from the Atlantic to the Mississipp! In one continuous track. Then, too, the other great monopolist you speak of, the Pennsylvania Ceniral Railroad, not to be outdone by her rivals, shortened her route to the great West by building the ‘‘Pan-Handle route,” and the “air line’? from Indianapolis to St. Louia, by the latter road killing @ monopoly of twenty years’ standing (the Richmond and Terre Haute Kallroad.) Now as to freights. Western bound freights for the last two mouths, and aiso last August and Sep- vember (1869), have been carried for less than half the actual cort of transportation, as computed by any competent engineer in this or any other coun- try. Why, you could have shipped by any one of the lines running over elther of the “three great monopolies” a burrel of sugar to Chicago—soo miles—for less freight than you could send it to your residence in this city or Brooklyn. In these times, when the entire public press are denouncing the socalled «‘monopolists,"” I trust your well known love of justice wil cause the publica- ton of this communication, len; , Dut in the inte- rest of no one of the “monopolls' while the state- ments are capable of being verified. BEN BAGGAGESMASHER, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— On reading your article in the HERALD entitled “Coal Monopolists at Their Old Game,” it occurred to me that there is one way in which the coal mono- bn @ warrant obtained by Margaret O’Carrol, charg- mg him with having rpetrated an inhuman wait on her the jous evening. It appears the complainant ts the wife of O'Uarrol, but has ntly left him and commenced an action for ivorce. On the evening named the accused, while If intoxloated, called at the place where she was , on the Boston road, and, it is alleged, jthout provocation, struck her a terrific blow on bhe mouti iad out some of her teeth, and pfterwards kicked her several times in the abdo- Fi inflicting severe and perhaps fatal injuries. je accused was taken vefore Justice Fullen, who, deiwult of bai, comsnitied bim for examination. ,Polists can be defeated. It is pretty well kni that peat asafuel is superior to coal; it gives a more intense heat; it ignites easily; it generates steam much quicker; it is cleaner than coal to handle; it can be worked out of the bed and sold to consumers at a great deal less cost than coal; it is a disinfectant; and, in fact, a good many other things can be 1in_its favor, and if a few capl- talists would look a little Into this matter, they would be convinced that they could make fortunes for themselves, and at the same time give to con- sumers a cheap fuel, benefit the community at large, gud defeat the monopglists 1D te coal trade.

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. At anearly hour yesterday morning oMcer Powell, of the Ninth precinct, at pier 35 North river, was attracted by the cries of aarowning man. Hurrying there he observed an old, gray-haired man strug- gling in the waters of the Hudson. It was the work of amoment for Powell to seize arope and lower himself aown trom the pier. While ee te rope Tast to the drowning man the latter seized from hind, dragged into the water and the two sunk in each other’sembrace. On cowing tothe sur- face Powell found the old man’s grasp itening upon him, and, summoning all strength, he endeavored to shake him off. The effort was futile. Powell saw that they must both die together if he gave way, and he decided to support the man above the water, if possible, until assistance arrived. The tume passed rapiily, and finally the grasp of the old man relaxed somewhat. With a superhuman effort Powell threw the drowning man from him and saw the waters close over him in death, Powell, ex- hansted, succeeded in swimming ashoro, and re- ported the facts, bat the body was not recovered, The Interest Surrounding the Movoment—An Evening Session—Sveeches of Leading Men~ Second Day’s Proceedings—Interesting Statistics—A Labor Bureau Recom- monded—A White Brother on “Humility,” and How He Was Used Up. BaRaTOGA, August 25, 1870. “Didn't I told you so’? The Colored State Con- vention 1s a success, That you can mark down em- phatically, Its members have flung their banners to the wind and the breeze has been propitious, Lhe creases in the negroes’ countenances of good humor have deepened and the owners thereof chuckle lke asubterranean convulsion, They are clearly eligi- ble to the high road of fortune’s favor. In short, the workings of this meedng now seem as if it would bea terror to its kind, In council here are those who have taken part in the revolutionary straggie for the elevation of the black race, and their success has taught them that insatiable ambl- tion, when properly applied, will lead them on to greater victories. Here are men who have experienced what ft is to be servile, and what it is to conquer disaffected spirits. And well do they bear the honor of the conquest. From Garnett to Butler, Brown to Seward, those who have already presented the claims of their constituents to the masses, causing them to appreciate the new order of things, have won golden opinions for thelr display of Intellectual muscle, proving conclusively that they can wrestic and run, endure and triumph, and before the crowded audience receive the laurels of victory with considerable complacency. Upon completing the permanent organization yes- terday alternoon, and after listening to the superior address of thanks from the Rey, Mr. Butler—one of the youngsters in the great onward movement of the black race, but a constant and intelligent worker— the Convention fell into the groove of regular work- ing. Committees were appointed and the question of admitting all who are in sym- pathy with them, withont regard to color, race or sex, affirmatively settled. Some of the brunette boys—one in particular, bearing the cognomeu of Jacob Siewart—fought energeti- cally against admitting as delegates their feniale friends, and truth compeis me to say that Jacob “went back” onthe devoted mothers and truthful maids that were presont, and made his heavy frame and graceful top-knot-look ratuer silly when he proclaimed that “women shouldn't have any part in the imatter;”’ that, in fuct, they shouldo’t be compelled to work ac all; that “the men ought to make the money aud the ladies spend 1t.” Well, J lor this rather "ts true gailant remark, but so mi in opposition to the whole spirit of the Convention, got laughed at, and although he looked like a cour- ageous feliow, Jacob tagged at his white vest, the graceful neatness of which was the handiwork of a wife or sister at home, and was glad when the gudi- ence had forgotten him and the Woman question. In tne evening the hall was crowded, jor It had been braited about that Garnett and Brown and others would speak on the questions of the day, and how to apply the means in weir hands to rear the youth in the way they should go, Those who knew these men knew they were healthy exponents of their rights, and felt that not to attead would be to lose a treat and the chance of hearing eloqueut speeches, mixed up and wrapped all over with fun and good bumor, The ‘white trash” left Congress Hall in numbers and gatnered at the back of the room in ters of elght and ten deep. Indeed, it was a goodly audience—one made up of colored persons, well dressed, well behaved and worthy of stutly. There was no cigar smoking, no tipsy Inen, but all were quiet and pieasant, anxious to learn what tey must do to continue and keep alive the universal exctlement which surrounds their color and blood. — All shades were represented. Nature had not been very Kind 10 some In ige matter of physiognomy, but where this lacked she bad made amends in giving them good figures, Some of the taces were indeed handsome, and it was worth a tong journey to take iv the panorama ofthe audience as tpe blaze of gas struck their upturned faces. You had wwe shining black, we brown, the brunette, the yellow— from the negro to the Hottentot—and one or two of the more impressing, Whose unctuous pumpkin complexions wore a blatd smile, like the vreaking of daylight through a bank of yeliow clouds, and the background oi “de white folk,’ lisiening with marked politeness and attention, made the assem- biage an interesting and remarkable one, SPEECH OF DR. BROWN, Rey. Cartstornger R. BROWN, D. D., of Troy, and one of the Vice Presidents of tie Convention, was then introduced, ane the gentleman's manner at once stamped Lim as being worth hearing. Brown is @ polished speaker, dignified m manner and bas au presence that will command respect, He is an easy speaker, with none of the idiom about hin, and very eloquent. [have gone farther and at great expense listened to white orators—your men wiom you think aie supecior in debate and masters of the language—and fared ten times worse, It was a treat and this is the substance of the speaker's re- marks:—In the preiiiniaary matters of this Conven- vention there has beea harmony and no sign of dis- } cord, It is, indeed, a& remarkable event at this | day, when the eye of the nation Is upon us, to see the manner and way in which we wil show our appreciation of national equality, This Convention 18 to make use of tae best igeans in its power at this and future times vo secure the mechanical and educational interests of our people. Already We have the sympamy ot the lead- ing American juinds, The American’ people as & class are in positive sympathy with our race, ‘Tho emancipation of our race during the war was necessary to the pregervation of the na- tional honor. We, as & race, are now free in this country, and the duties which are expected to be performed by the whites as citi ure also to be periormed by us. Education is an Indispensable tning. Knowledge must precede mechanics and the arts; itis necessarily anterior. We are now taking the right hold, and cannot other wise than reach au inteliigent eud. The aation has spoken words of good cheer, telling us by authorita- tive power to expect what our talents’ merit. Let us perform our duties in the manuer and thorough- ness which will commend us to the thinking worid. Honesty, loyalty and courage are the virtues you uinst venerate, and then correct application wili insure the great end hoped for, RHV. HENRY HIGHLAND GARNETY. Rev. HENRY HIGHLAND GARNETT was then called upon, The “Old Guard” never looked better. or more smilingly. He didn’t want to make a speech, and in way of substituting “Female | shirk it. the very ingentous the commitiee’s report on Labor and Education,’’ endeavored to ‘The report was able and eminently satis- factory. Its trutns were self-evident, and were re- ceived with that meed of applause which they deserved. The following extract from the latter portion of the report will serve to give an idea of its character. It is in Garneti’s most serious style:— “We would entreat the wives of our people who dwell in crowded cities to encourage their husbands to betake themselves to the independent and protit- able employment of farmers and miners, when they are ae to do so. The rich flelds and prairies of the West present their fruitful bosoms ana invite them to hasten to claim their proffered wealth, The mountains of our new dominions, pregnant witn mineral treasures, are ready to deliver them to their industry. The valleys, stretching to- ward the setting sun, traversed by rallroaas ana echoing the snortings and neighings of the iron horse as it gallops from the Atlantic to the Pacific, thelr smiling faces half hidden in flowers, bid you come and by patient labor claim your title to independence, Our b pert peg laws make no discrimination in regard to color or race; and public lands, good as the sun shines on re where on the face of the earth, can be cheaply bought. Mulions of acres nay be purchased in the South, and many are becoming the owners of the soil which they once tilled without wages, Go forth, then, and subdue the forests; cultivate your own fields and dig out fortunes for yourselves, and rear comfortable homes. Take deep root in your native roll and become acquainted with the dignity and power which are the inheritance of roperty owners. What others have done we can jo. It cannot be dented that hitherto the unwilling- ness of our wives, who set a high value upon the reer society formed in cities, to encounter the solation and inconvenience incident to the life of the foncer and settler has been an insurmountable indrance in the way of ‘cultural pursuits of many. But it is to be hoped that the brighter and better day in which we live wiil reveal to our noble wives @ wiser course. in conclusion we desire that nothing we have stated wiil have the effect of diminishing in the minds of tne people the importance of sound, thorough and com- Mon sense education for our daugnters, The safety and prosperity of our republican institutions and form of government depend upon the morality and intelligence of the masses, and these virtues will revall in the exact proportion to the purity, indus- ry and sound education of our daughters, wives and mothers.” Garnett tried to leave the platform s0 soon as the report was read, but the black people and the white people would not have it. Garnett must make a oon and he did. Such @ speech! Stump from the word “go.” It was bubbling over wiih eio- quence, good sense and wit. The audience roared when he wanted them to, and banged against each other in their mirthfuiness, a tub with @ head wind. He spoke of the negro’s previous condition, of his state of freedom now; of the advantages he possesses and what he should doin the future. He branded the false ‘‘darky’’ and Se ae the « ote,” Garnett digressed but little in his speech, and that digression, perhaps, was compulsory. In speaking of the future of the black man he said that if any, either your ordinary subaitern nigger,or your aris- tocratic, kid-gloved, eau de cologne nigger, in the coming elections ‘‘went back” upon the party that elevated him they were going to read him out of black society. Second Day’s Proceedings. The Convention assembled at ten o'clock, and ‘was opened With prayer. The atiendanco was cx Jatter tlemen were greatly m- Among the several res visitors was noticed Daniels, of Baltimore, COLORED CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS, Professor Charles , Pearson, of New York, sub- mitted wreport upon the matter of education, and advised that in New York und Brooklyn last year there were the following colored children attending schools and taught therei In New York—School No. 1, boys, 307; girls, 273, No. 2, giris, 115; primary, be . 8, boys and giris, 147; primary, 220, No. 4, grammar and primary, ‘0. 6, 48; No. 6, 143.

On motion of Mr. GARNETT it was resolved that a State Edueattonal Convention of colored citizens be held im New York, Tuesday, October 18, 1870, MONEY IN SAVINGS BANKS, Tho Committee on Banking Institutions reported the amount of moneys saved by Colored men and women throughout the States. ‘The amount reached some $13,000,000, It was forcibly advised by Garnett and Butler the importance of frugality, that the colored man might be Independent. White or black with money will be respected, and instances were noted where wealth wiped out ‘color, ace and pre- vious condition,” ON LABOR IN THE STATri Tne Committee on Labor reported. They could not obtain any reliable data, so far a3 the State was concerned, buc their advice was excellent and op- portune. A LABOR BUREAU. Rev. Mr. SwRARgS introduced the following:— Whereas the welfare of the laboring: classes depends upon Organization and co-operation among themselves; and ‘hereas we see a number of organizations injour State which still manifest a feeling of hostility to admission of colored men to membership, or colored boys to apprentice- abjp, therefore esolved, ‘That the delegates now assembled in Conven- on at Saratoga conmder it a paramount duty to adopt measures to meet auch prejudices by organizing @ Btute Bu ” Bureau. Resolved, That this Convention recommends the people of the State to organize city and county associations, under the State Labor Union or Council. SINCLAIR TOUSEY’S ADVICE. SINCLAIR ToUSEY begged permission to warn the Convention against whet the resolutions seem to dvitt to—trades unions, strikes and such other workings as wrought trouble, SHERWOOD ON HUMILITY, §. B. SHERWOOD, also a White brother, in his en- deavor to court the favor of the Convention, put lis foot away Into the mire and pulled such a hornet’s hest about his ears that it will be a long tlme betore he again petitions his “black bethern.”” Mr. Sher- man said:—The colored men have done well, and I honor them; they have been exalted to high places, and 1 respect them. All now that they desired was to practice humility and de- rea upon their merits and they would succeed. r. Sherwood was very unfortunate in the selection of his words3—“humility” was very inappropriate, as he soon found out. Dr. Thompson, of Newburg, first got at him; then Butler, of New York, and they just, argumentatively, tore Sherwood all to pleces, Butler was terribly sarcastic, and ashe denounced such expressions in this day, after freedom, the bullet and the ballot had been given to the colored race and they were American citizens, it aroused to enthusiasm the audience, ana they thundered their acquiescence in his denuncta- tion. Meanwhile Sherwood, demolisned, tock his hat in hand and beat a hasty and ignominious retreat. ‘The resolutions were under discussion when the Morning session adjourned, THE GRAND CENTRAL'S INAUGURAL, A Vast Crowd in Attendance—The Interior Arrangements of the New Hotel Inspected A Fine Collation—New Features Worthy of Notice. Yesterday, at four o'clock, the Grand Central Hote! was inaugurated and thrown open for the in- spection of the friends of the proprietor and the re- presentatives of the press. This magnificent hostelrie has already been described with great minuteness of detail in these columns, and further description of its splendid corridors, its gorgeous rooms and admirable arrangements is unnecessary. Suffice it to say that the immense crowd who assembled within it yesterday and viewed it from basement to top story were utani- mous In expressing their approval of its appear- ance, interiorily as weil as exteriorily. Fully de- serving the name by which it 1s now known and will doubtiess be celebrated in the future through. out the land, it equals, if it does not surpass, the Grand Hovel on the Louvre, of Paris. In whatey aspect it may be viewed it raust be acknowledged a decided tmprovement over any hotel in the United Scates and as indicating decided progres: particular branch of business. And as su serves, a5 it has already received, honorable men- ton in the HERALD, ‘The proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Power, was early on hand and had quite enough to do in receiving huis guests. His grateful work would have been less onerous, however, but for the crowd of guests, Bo- hemiaus and others, who were not invited and who Debaved as they usually do on such occasions. Such an array of newspaper men has not been seen in one place atthe same time since Mayor Hall made an appeal to Uppteton for the Vanderbilt- DeGroot bronze. There were haif a dozen persons present who claimed to represent the HeRaLpb, but of course only one was properly accredited, Other respectable journals were imposed upon in the same way. But notwithstanding these drawbacks Mr. Power and lis able and obliging assistants got along very well assid attentions to guests, showing them over the house and explaining all matters of detail pertaining to the Lote), Each and all of those who were so favored were hearty 1n their encomiums on the admirable arrangements of the diferent departments,- which, indeed, present many excellent features not usually found even in our best public houses. An immense crowd filled the spacious parlors, trod the soft, elegant carpets and peered into the LS hehe turnished rooms until late at night, ad- iiring as they went. In the large dining room a very ne collation was spread. A simall army of attentive watters kept the seated guests supplied and hilarity ruied supreme. No sooner did one party take their leave of the host at the door of the dining room ani proceed to the inspection of the house than anotver took its place, and so the feast was continued, The genuine ‘Jerry’? Sheehan, the head waiter, formerly of the St. Nicholas, whose blooming face 1s a beacon of hope to the hungry, skipped about from table to table with an ever-ready sinile and proved himself a prince among waiters. Mr. lovey and Mr. Crockett, Mr. Power's able assist- ants, Were exceedingly attentive and obliging tn auswering questions and imparting information. Before the guests for whose especial benefit the collation was spread took their departure they were shown the stables attached to the hotel, which were well worth the visit. The omuibuses and carriages (ufty in number) provided for the use of the guests of the Grand Central are models of lightness and elegance, and are a marked contrast to the lamber- ing atfairs in which people are usually dragged to hotels. Altogether the Grand Central Hotel may be regarded as a decided success, and its business will no doubt be in proportion to the vast sams of money expended upon it. It will be thrown open for public patronege and inspection to-day. THE FARRAGUT CBSEQUIES. The New York Herald in New |Hampshire. {From the Portsmouth (N.H.) Chronicle, August 24.)

During the war Riley was @ member of @ well known firm of bounty brokers, from which he realized a fortune of $100,000, and upwards, This prosperity, however, was more than he could bear, and he launched out into various excesses, rey | nis money lavishly and un- wisely.
