KN A Conductor Whose Dishonesty Was the Best Policy—The Broadway Cars in Greene Street—Revelations Pointing at Fraud and Corruption — Suggestions for Legislative Solons. Noaccount of the abuses of our city railroad system would be complete that did not include a sketch of the general management and manner of working of the Broadway road. This corporation Is wealtny. but, nevertheless, is as indutferent to the Interests of the public and as grasping as the Third Avenue, already noticed, It bas the merit of pro- viding cleaner and better cars than the Third ave- Due, but in all other respects it 18 as deserving of censure. It is quite trae that all the principal city Innes are overworked, and that for the great evil of insuMictent accommodation for passenger's the com- panies are not altogether to blame, Until the vexed problem of rapid steam transit from the lower to the upper part of the cliy 1s satisiactorily solved there will be uttered incessant complaints of horse car accommodation avd management, But while th s is true it offers no excuse for the neglect of or- dluary precautions dust RUFFIANISM ON THE LINES, vexatious delays and the innumerable annoyances passengers are constantly subjected to, The crowd- ing of the cars might easily be obviated by the sim- pie means of substituting cross seats tor the side benches now in use—thar is, seats made on the plan of those in steam cars, railing m the frout and a better arrangement of the end platform, The only valid objecuon that could be made to this would come from the railroad companies aad be in the form of a plea for the public; for it would “be urged tiat, by the plan proposed, it would be Tmpossible to carry all the people desiring to ride ny or down town in the busy hours of the mornmg evenmg. But the cars might be built longer fu lighter, and twice or thrice as many pat on as now serve the purpose of the companies. Then, too, by having the cars longer it would be posaibie to beat them, It ts not likely, however, that any of the fav troad corporations Wil heed any sugges- Uons which to adopt would require additional ex- Denditure of money, unless the Legislature, soon to Convene, inlerposes its authority. THE BROADWAY Li of horse cars runs from the Astor House to the Central Pars, skiing ihe great city artery to Four- teenth street, where it joins and continues until Broadway crosses Seventh avenue, From the depot at Forty-fourth street the line extends to the Park, Jumping in oue of the cars of this road av tne cor- ner of Broadway and Barclay street yesterday, a HERALD reporter ensconced himselt in a corner and prepared to take a few mental notes before scaching the depot anu entering upon his Invesuga- lion Oi the Mabagement of the road, Phe “starter,” a young man, dressed 4 fa Tame stled srilly; the conductor stepped on aad pulled the »; the beli rang, the a desperate effort lo put the horses on their hauuches, and faulng im that let them go snorting on tick: way. ‘There wore mot many pas- Se gers in the car and the reporier nad a fair op- portunity OF examintug the soats aud the door, Appares tly THE RED ¢ re clean, though t CUSHIONS 8 no guarantes of inte- Tior cleaniines os, In fact, mignt have concealed a vast number ol lively deadheads, Whose Lares Lheconluctor might well decline to col- Ject. ‘The door was ly opened by the latter gentleman, who indwiged 1a irequent confer ences with tre difver woriug, (he while, the uis+ fort of the passenger: Salways plenty of air (in winter) in the And this is not an unmixed evil; are Invariably filthy with tobacco ner dirt accumulated duriag the day.

THE FOURTH AND ON AVENUE LINES, A Faiv Endenvar to fleet the Public Wants= What is Left Undone and What is to be Done. Jn contradistinetion to the other lines of travel the Madison and Fourth avenue lines deserve honoraiie mention, Although eight cents fare is charged on the Madison avenue road and six cents on the Fourth avenue, against five cents on every other tine of city railvoad cars, there are few found 1o object to the legalized imposition in view of the better Ume in running, cleaner cars and more obliging conductors and drivers. People will walk mauy « block toreach a car on which politeness ts cousidered & virtue worth practising and roughs are not recognized as having peculiar rights, But even this line of horse cars, thougi greatly superior to any of the others in the cily, 13 not faultiess, 1 is pretended by the company that the cars run on time; out passengers Know how absurd ts the claim. There 1s hardly a couductor on the Madison uvenue line WHO 1s provided wilh a watch; so that the time must ve guessed at. In truth, the cars are Gentlemen on their Way down town in the morning have to lament THE PARSIMUNY OF THK COMPANY in the matter of ime pieces und disturb thelr diges- tion by muttered expleuves. 1: 1s a happy acciaeat ar reaches a certata point in time; it is no wonder, in view of What is stated above, If it ts five minutes benind ime, Much depends upon the good humor of the ariver, If that functionary happens to have had a good breakiast and leisure to read the HuxsLp alterwards well aud good; if not tne chances are that the passengers suifer on the way down town, ariy, then, the conductors on this road Want Watches more thau spotters.

This is litte less than an Outrage. Passengers who pay their inrough lare from, say Eighty- sixta siveet to the HeRALD office, ought not to be compelied to change cars at ot.

Suit Agaiust the Government for the Non- Performance of a Contract for the Supply of Cavalry HorseseA Land Title ble in Oregon. WasHINaTON, Dec, 13, 1871. No. 26. Uniled States vs, Daniel Warner—Appeal from the Court of Claims.—In this case Warner was allowed to recover for cavalry horses which the gov- ernment had contracted with him to furnish, but subsequently refused to receive, The Court found that the contract made was subsequently modified by the Cavalry Bureau in such @ manner as to re- hheve the claimant from any necessity to undertake the performance, and further, that the claimant was entitied to recover such damages as would put him as nearly as possible in the same situation as he would bave been if he had been allowed to perform. The damages allowed were $9,000, ‘The government contends that the contract was not sucu a one as Will sustain the suit, and that the instructions to cavalry officers did not amount to a breach, 1t 1s also argued that there was no refusal to perform the contract, and that the claimant. was nas relieved from the duty of making a tender of orses. B. H. Bristow and ©. H. Hil for the government, Enoch Totten for appellee. No, 25. W. W, Chapman, Adminis(rator of Lor- ing, vs, W. H, Deloy et al.—Error to the Supreme Court of Oregon.—This case involves the question of title to certain lands near the city of Portland, claimed by both parties under the act of Congress of September, 1859, providing for the survey and making donations to settlers on the ablic lands im Oregon. The decision was in favor of the defendants in error, and the admin- istrator brings the case heye. The question is upon the right of the administrator to defend; the Court below holding that the heirs of the deceased take by urchase, if at all, and not by descent, and that for hat reason the defence could not be maintained, It is here contended that the act of Congress having rovided that in case of the death oi the settier all his rights shail descend to the heirs at law, 1t must be held that the title of the heirs in this case Is by descent, and that they succeed to the rights of their ancestor. The defendant objects that the Court is Without jurisdiction, as the ciaim of tbe plaintit rests upon the laws of Oregon. W. W. Chapman, in person, for plaintif tn error; George H. Williams for defendant. UAITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. The Erte Railway Litigation. Betore Mr. Kenneth G, White, as Master. Yesterday the Erte Railray Company delivered to Mr. Kenneth G, White 47,292 certificates of shares, being a portien of the 6),056 shares of Erie stock claimed by Heath and Raphael, the English share- holders, to be their property. ‘This still leaves un- supplied 12,764 shares; but with respect to these Jay Gould ana James Fisk, Jr., claim an ownership, alleging thay they purchased them in Engiand. On this question of ownership the order of the Court authorizes the Master to.take testimony, so as to enable Judge Blatchford, before whom several Ene motions are pending, to determine the point when it comes before him for argument. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COU3T—IN BANKRUPTCY. Motion for Injunction and a Receiver. Before Judge Blatchford. Jonn Seagurick as Assignee in Bankruptcy of Asahel H. Heath, and Thomas W, B. Hughes, vs, Asahel H. Heath, Mary M. Heath, Thomas W. B. Hughes and Mary E, Hughes.—In this case Judge Blatchford yesterday rendered the following OPISIO! Ido not think the transaction of February, 1868, vested any interest or tite, either legal or equitable, in Mary E, Hughes to the premises in question, The delivery to Asahel iH. Heath of the deed to Mary E. Heath was @ conditional delivery. As against Thomas W. B. Hughes and his creditors, and tne Plaintift as his assignee in bankruptcy, the deed and its delivery amounted to nothing, so long as no eed to Mary E. Hughes was executed by Mary M, Heath. No such deed was ever executed. Until such deed should be executed Thomas W. Kb, Hughes could at any time revoke his deed to Mary M, Heath, lt was @ purely Voluutary deed, founded on no con- sideration. There was nothing more done betore the rights of the plaintaff intervened, The property must be regarded as having continued w be the Pees aa of Thomas W. B.

The project of establishing an Amertcan College at Pekin with the money which was pat our gov- ernment by that of China in excess of the real m demnity for the losses sustained by our citizens who were resident at Canton during the Anglo-French and Chinese war, has been more than once recom- mended to the consideration of Congress. It 1s again revived, or, rather, again brought before the public, by the friends of the movement, and 18 re. ceiving hearty support from eminent literary, sclen- tific and political gentlemen im this country, as 1t formerly did from sueh men as Buchanan, Lincoln, Seward and the celebrated diplomat, Anson Buriin- game. Resolutions from several colleges and lite- rary institutions, among which are Yale, Harvard, Wiliams, the American Society for the Advancement of Science and the American Historical Society, re- commending the matter to Congress, have been lately forwarded to Washington, and, it 1s hoped, will tura its attention to a subject which has been so long neglected, The Chinese government bas shown itself too proud to receive irom our hands again the surpins fund, which now has reached $400,000, and the feeling in this country In regard to the matter 13 best expressed in tue words ol Pres- ident Buchanan's question to Congress—“ Would Justice not require its appropriation to some benev- olent object in which China may be speciaily mter- ested ¢”? A meeting of delegates from the institutions of learning throughout the country, and of all other persous actually tuterested, will be held in the rooms of the American Htstortcal Soctety, at the Cooper Union building, on Friday next, at four o'clock P.
