SUPERIOR COUAT—SPECIAL TEAM. Denouement of the Darand Divorce Sult. Before Judge Spencer, Marie Durand vs. Joseph Durand.—It will be re- membered by the readers of the HERALD, in which the particulars of this litigation appeared from time totime, that the action was brought by Marie Durand, the plaintiff, against Joseph Durand, her alleged husband, for assauit and jibe), and that the alleged 111 treatment which she said she received at the hands of Joseph was of a character which excited a good deal of indignation at the time amiong the friends and admirers ot the fair Marie. Yesterday, however, the whole difficulty was suddenly terintnated by a discontinuance of all the proceedings on the partof the platotiff. The facts of the case and the relationship between the arties may be briefly recapitulated here:—The lefendant i3 an influential merchant of New Yo and the peony claimed to be his wife. She alleged that she lived in the marital relation with nim for a eriod covering fifteen years, two children having n born to them; that by threats and vielence he endeavored te compel her to sign a@ con- sent to separate from him, altiwately sending her to Europe and circulating in this city @ report that the was dead; that she returned from Europe and commenced suit against him for assault and libel, laying damages at ‘orty-five thousand dol- lars. At various times the case came up in this court, when the defendant produced evidence tend- ing to show that ths story of the plaintit! was terly false, denying that she -was his wife, and alleging that she had been divorced from another man. Ip order to get rid of her importunt:ies he fixed an allowance upon her and sent her to Switzerland, where she remained but a short time, When she sold vut her allowance and returned to this country, where she again renewed her course of litigation against the defendant, who, in order to avoid any further trouble, offerea her $1,000, which she refused. This offer was made about 4 year ago, and foartay the plaintr concluded to accept it and discontinue the proceedings. Alimony in the Ford Divorce Suit. Frederick W.

COMMON PLEAS—GENERAL TEAM. Action Against Counsel. Before Judges Robinaon, Loew and Larremore, Fdwurd R, Arnold, Kkespondent, vs, John M, Rob- erison, Appeiiant,—In this case the plaintu claimed that he bad empijoyed the defendant as his counsel ina loan made to Chariey G, mn upog the security of a chatiel mortgage, and That the defend- ant had neglected to record such mortgage for a month, and thereby allowed Patterson to record a prior mortgage of $11,000, by which he lost In secu- rity. The defendant asserted that be had never been in any way employed by the plaintiff, but by Patterson, and that the delay in filing the morigage was caused by the latter's having retained it to affect the schedule, it also appeared that the plaintiff had satisfied his mortgage and accepted Patterson’s note and promise to pay, but that when this was done the $11,000 mortgage had been paid otf, although the fact: bad been concealed from him (plaintiff), and he clatined that he gave this satis- faction under advice of the defendant, and un‘ler the belief that his mortgage was then worthtess, gue Ab IL was gomsequently Youd, having been ob pape ted to th, tne npen adhe ES TS hE HOEY RS SE Be on which the de! ndant appeale: l.

George W. Wingate, for the respondent, contende that the verdict was conclusive; that the fendant had agreed to look to the mortgage for compensation, but that, having ua ertaken to act, he was siabie for negligence, even if his employment was gratuitous, and that having informed the plain- tif that he had filed the mortgage he was estopped from saying he was not bound to do #0; that the satisfaction of the plaintitl’s mortgage was void, having been obtamed by fraud in concealing from him the payment of the prior mortgage, as well as the neglect tq record the mortgage to the plaintify, and that the payment of sweh prior mertguge did not reinstate the plaintiuf in the position he would have been if his mortgage had been properly re- corded, because he was kept in ignorance of its hay- img been paid, while, if the defendant had performed his duty, he would have had a mortgage whicn he Company, Appevants,—Indgment reversed and Auguste Halve vs. George Ewetl.—Movion granted, mow trisl granted, Costs to abide event.

Before Judges Ingraham, Barnard and Cardozo. Lucius Bradley, Executor, ct al., vs. The Mutual Benet Life msurance Company.—Justice Ingra- ham gave the opinion of the Court aMrming the judgment below. One Cluff insured mis life mn the company of the defendants. This insurance policy went through several assignments, till it came into possession of the plaintiff. A clause in the policy rendered it null and void in case the insured shouid aie by bis own hand or in a duel or through Mutemperance or through violation of any law ‘of the United Siates, or State in which he might be atthe time, The premiums were regularly paid up to the déath of Ciutf. While in Louisiana Cluf met oue Cox, agains: whom he had a claim, and re- quested payment, which was refused, Cluff threat- ened to take Cex’s horses if he did not pay. Cox said he had better try iron. Cluff seized the reins, whereupon Cox arew his pisto! and shot him, from the effects of which he died. The defendants claimed that Cluff was vielating a 1nw of Louisiana when he met hts death, and therefore that the policy was void. Upon the trial of the case below the Court ‘voter in this city previous to the Jast election. Mr. Davies, United States Assistant District Attorney, appeared for the government, and Mr. Fitch | held that there was no question of fact for the jury defended the prisoner, Evidence in support saddle zope pra pe ene dis. i . ne iff appeal- of the charge having been given, witnesses | eq, ‘The fede peat eld that. there could phe no on the part of the accused were called, | doubt as to the cause of death, and thought that no question of fact was involved. The only question mvolved was whether the exception ei the policy applied to any other violation of law, and whether Clutt violated any law of Louisiana. In the absence of cd Pre as to the laws of Louisiana, they wero justified in presuming the laws of that State to be the same as this State. Tere could be no doubt that Ciuff was violating the liw, He had no ngat, title or claim to the property. As Cluff was therefore violating the law, his death was the sequence of such violation, Upon a review of ail the evidence and Jaw in the case the judgment was an alirmation of tie Jower court, Rule of Damnge on Charter Vessels. F. Grand et al, vs. James F. Pendergrast.—Juage Cardozo gave the decision of the Court. The plaintitts seek Lo apply to this case the rule of damage which Would obtain if the plaintiM@s coula not have pro- cured the goods to be sent at all, as, for instance, by reason of there being no other vessel or an em- bargo being Jaid or a canal jreezing; but that rule does prevail.

A letter of the defendant, atat- ing neither vessel, rate ner time of sailing, cannot be deemed an offer. It was ciear, furthermore, thatthe defendants did not intond to make any definite pro- position on the subject, The referee's finding, that the vessel by which the plaintit? sent was the only one offering or willing to take the petroleum after the sailing of the Contest, cannot be disturbed. ‘The Court thought the rie as to the form of the jndg- ment laid down in 7 Wallace, 258, not binding on the State Courts, and that it is not the correct one, bat simply leads to great inconvenience, without any practical advantage, The judgment, therefore, should be aMrmed, SUPREME COURT—TRIAL TEAM.

FAIR PLAY AND BETTER PAY TO THE SCHOOLMISTRESSES. NEw Yorx«, Nov. 29, 1870, To THE EpiroR or THR HERALD:— Allow me to call your attention to a petition for an increase of salaries presented to the Board of Education by the teachers in our female grammar Schools, They advance some very excellent reasons for this, one of which is that a female teacher re- ceives about one-half the salary paid to a male teacher for the same work equally well done. View- Ing ibis matter solely in the light of economy I have no doubt that a far-seeing pnditc policy would favor the proposed increase, for the reason that with & higher standard of education In our schools, and the attraction of a higher grade of talent to a field of labor where @ due proportion exists between the work aud the remuneration, a marked diminution in the crime which yearly #' iS the tax levy to an enormous figure would be speodily ielt.

British consols were firm at 93, which is the figure at which they have stood for two days past, ‘The announcement of these prices led to a decline in gold, although the fluctuation was unimportant, the extreme range of the. market being 111% @ 111. About midday it was reportea that the French had gained an important victory ever the Prusgan army of Prince Frederick Charles, and as at the same tume a cable despatch stated that the English bankers had signified their willingness to take the new North German lean. of 100,000,000 thalers, and as our bonds and consols wers quoted asbade lower, gold became strong and advanced to 111%, ita upward reaction being assisted by # rather active demand on the part of the shorts to cover thelr speculative sales.

The Southern Jist was rather more active and generally strong, the only exception occurring in the new Tennessees, which were heavy, and sold at 68%;. This Muctuation the holders think a very natural reaction after the sharp advance from 65 to 59, At the close the following street quotations were made:—Tennessee, ex coupon, 601; a 60%; do., new, 5834 @ 6834; Virginia, ex coupon, 648 66; do., new, 63 a 64; Georgia sixes, 80a 82; de, sevens, 91 a 92; North Carelina, ex ceupon, 47% a 48; de., new, 263¢ @ 27; do, special tax, 191, @ 20; Missouri sixes, 924 a 9234; do, Hannibal and St. Joseph, 92 a 92 Loulsiana sixes, 72 a 73; do, new, 67 a 69; do., levee sixes, 72 a 74; do. do., eights, 90 a 91; Alabama fives, 70 a 72; do, eights, 102 a 103; South Carolina sixes, 88 a 90; do, new, January and July, 70'4 @ 71; do, do., April and October, 68 a 70; Arkansas sixes, 64 a 65; do. sevens, @3.8 63. THE STOCK MARKET STEADY AND DULL. The stock market was dull, and the speculative operators were apparently content to await develop- ments at London, Washington or wherever else in- fluences prevail which are likely to have their effect on the course of prices. The only active features were, in tact, the dividend paying securities, to which fresh attention was directed by the resump- tion of dividends on the Northwest stocks. A slight improvement in prices generally took place in the forenoon, but this alsappearcd in the subsequent dulness of the market, Toward the close the mar- ket became stagnant, and prices drooped as much ‘as, if notimore, than they had strengthened in the morning. A “BREAK” IN UNION PACIFIC. ‘The confused telegrams from Washington, assert- ing that the Secretary of the Treasury was about to force the Union Pacific Railroad Company to pay the interest on the currency sixes, produced @ sharp decline in the various securities of that corperatien, the stock running down from 22 to 17%. ‘Lhese telegrams are in errorin one respect. The currency sixes are government bonds as much as the five-twenties or ten-forties, Reference 1s doubt- less had to the mortgage bends retained by the gov- ernment in exchange for the currency sixes and which were made a secend mertgage on the road by an amendment to the original law. As to the merits of Union Pacific stock various theories exist. One impression exists that the foreclosure of the mortgage held by the government ‘would obliterate the stock. On the other hand, itis asserted that a powerful appeal will be made to the next Congress to remit the obligation involved in the second mortgages, iu view of the fact that the bullding of the ratiroad has enhanced the value of the government lands in the West a great deal more than the amount of currency sixes issued to assist the work. Should the lobbyists at Washington suc- ceed in this scheme the bonded debt would be re- ducer by about $30,000,000, bringing the stock into the same position now occupied by the government interest in the road.
