‘THE COURTS. ‘The Equity Side of the Jumel Estate Liti- gation—Case Submitted and De- cision Reserved. MATRIMONY AND ALIMONY. | Three Times Married and Twice | Divorced. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. ’ NEW 009, the learned gentleman broaghé his Blatchiord took the papers and reserved hus decision. MATRIMONY AND ALIMONY. pated vv eras Three Times Married and Twice Di- vorced—One of the Divorced Husbands Objects to the Last Happy Man Living On His M y—Curious Litigation. The present wife of General C, L. Anderson, Col- lector of United States Revenue in the Third dis- trict of South Carolina, has had more than her share of the moiety of human troubles allotted to women. In the first place she has been three times married; but this is not all. She has had two divorce suits to manage, and now has a third suit on hand. She still lives, but in her papers complains of failing health. It is unnecessary to more than obriefy recapitulate that por- tion of her history relating to her legat tribulations, as im their previous stages in the courts they have already been ‘The Equity Suit of Chase vs. Bowen. ‘Tne further hearing of the case of Nelson Chase ‘ys. George Washington Bowen was resumed yes- | terday in the United States District Court before | Judge Blatchford, This 1s a suit in equity instituted ‘by the plaintiff to restrain the deiendant from fur- ther prosecuting any sult attacking the title of Mr, Chase and his children to the Jumel property. | ‘The bill alleges that the suits hitherto brougit by | Bowen against Onase have not been brought in | good faith, and that Bowen has no title whatever to the property. The answer of Bowen is that he is acting in good faitn, ana that, as the illegitimate son of Mme, Jumel, which he ciaims to be, his ‘title to the property is good. Already this equity suit has been argued at considerable length on the part of the plaintiff by Mr. Cuarles O’Conor. Yes- | ‘terday, when the matter was called on, Mr. L. 3. | Chatfield, Mr. Chauncey Shaffer and Mr. Sawyer ‘appeared as counsel for the defendant, and Mr. Charles O’Conor and Mr. J. C, Carter for the plaintic | Mr. Chatfleld immediately proceeded to open ‘the case on the part of the defendant. He thought, he said, that he might very weil describe this as a ‘peculiar action, Its objects and purposes, as stated in the bill of complaint, together with the prayer, presented a very novel case in this Court; and such a case, he believed, had never been pre- sented before. The object of it was to take away ‘Uhe jurisdiction of a court of law and the remedies ‘which a party might claim at law, and to preciude | them, by way of an equity suit or an injunction, ‘from obtaining suchi remedy. That was done upon ‘the allegation of certain trusts, and the only way fu which it could be brought into a court of equity | et all was upon the notion that certain trusts and interests controlled the estate to such an extent as ito preciude a court of law from adjudicating upon jthe case. He was not unaware that the or- igin of the Court of Chancery was iounde in the meceasity that existed for the protection of trust estates, It was understood among the first eie- Ments of his profession that the Court of Chan- cery had power for the protection of trusts, the administration of estates and the punishment of traud; but he had yet to learn—perhaps he might learn it in this actlon—that a court of equity could restrain @ party from pressing his legal Tights at law, or that this Court, sitting im equity, could restrain the Court in banc at Washington from proceeding with an appeal taken, or by writ of error, or restrain that Court from receiving a decision made in Circuit. He was frank to ad- | eral ‘term, Judges Davis, Brady ana Danteis being | decizion retusing any modification uf the decree as | another man’ given in full in the HeRaLp, She marrted first Mr. Joseph Girard, and from him obtained her first divorce and alimony of $672 50 @ year. She next married Mr. Thomas ©. Shephard, and from him obtained her second divorce; but as Mr. Snephard was much better off in this world’s goods than her former husband, the Court compelled him to pay as alimony $3,000 a year, This second decree of divorce was obtained in september, Is7l. Mr. Shephard paid the alimony promptly until after her marrying General Auderson, when, consider- ing that she was very well provided for pecuniarily, he invoked the Court to release bum from further payment. Having gone through all the preiumi- nary stages pogsible in the lower courts, the case fina.ly reached yesterday the Supreme Court, Gen- a the bench, on an appeal from Juage Dononue’s to alimony. In arguing the case on behalf of Mr. Shephard it was first submitted to the Court whether there 1s anything in the law relative to divorces, or in the Treason O/ the law, to compel one man to support ife. It was also urged that the provisions of a fiual decree in respect to alimony are-always within the power of the Wourt to change, as the circumstances of the parties may change; that a pecuniary or other marital altera- | tion of circumstances may render proper @ change | in alimony; that the provision of the decree that the alimony be paid to piaintif during her natural | life is subject to the coudition, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, that the principle of the law requiring @ husband to provide for the support of ius wife, who has obtained a divorce for his fault, is based upon the moral-legal duty | of the hugsand to support his wife; that when the | moral and iegal duty of a husband to support bis | divorced wile ceases the aimony should cease; that when she remarries he ceases to owe her any duty as husband, including the duty of support; that the plaintiff! has her option either to retain | her alimony or to obtain a new husband; that she cannot have both; that she cannot enjoy the soci- | ety and protection of the third band at the expense of the pocket of the second; that whether to lay this $3,000 a year on the ultur of her third lover is for her to decide. It was also stated that | they were informed tiat she was not so deeply in | love as not to take advice on the effect of anew | husband on the alimony question. During the argument numerous authorities were cited and commented upon, including the Forest divorce suit. In opposition the leading points raised were that | Mo pretence is made that the pecuniary condition of the defendant bas become impaired since the decree was made, and that in accordance with the refusal of the Court to allow a commission to take testimony to prove immoral conduct in the plain- | tif after the decree of divorce in her favor, tor the | purpose of reducing the alimony—that the mar- | Tiage in the present case, a right granted ner by | the decree, did not work a forfeiture of the ali- | mony, At the conclasion of the argument the Court took the papers, reserving its decision. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. mit that he did not think that could be done. The learned gentleman then pro. } ceeded in examination of this case as SUPREME OOURT—OHAMBERS. at was presented m the pleadings and |The Guardian and Bowling Green upon the proofs. He gave a history of how the ‘Property in question came into the hands of Mr. Stepnen Jumel by purcnase, and said it was ad- mitved by both sides that there could be no doubt hatever that in 1815 Mr. Jumel was its owner. . Jumel went to France in 1815, taking Mme. jumel with him. Commencing at this date Mr. 21 began to trace tne various deeds exe- ‘cuted oy Mr. Jumei and by Mme Jumel, acting ‘under a power of attorney executed by her Lus- nd. related the history of the deeds to jusenbury, Be! and Skiddy, R. J. Mason, Mary Sumel Bowen, Workmeister, Alexander Hamilton Philliy ‘This history was tully given on trial of the case before Judge Shipman and re- ported in the HERALD, and 1t is entirely unneces- Bary to repeat it now. Counsel admitted that there {Was one piece of land mentioned tn this case to ‘which neither the plaintit nor the detendant was ‘entitied. It did not appear to be covered by any conveyance from Stephen Jumel. If there was any title to it, it vested in Mr. Jumel’s heirs, if he ad a State of New York. The deed made in 1834 to Alexander Hamilton by Mme. Jumel of part o7 this property wastwo years after the death of ‘Mr. Jumel; so that, Mr. Jumel being then aead, Mme. Jumei could not claim to be acting for him under the power of attorney. Nene of the prop- erty over which she could exercise any control, | except lot No. 6, went to Mr. Hamilton by that conveyance, The only lot Workmeister had any wer to convey was lot No. 6 In Oc- ober, 1834, the property was reconveyed on the same trust—in trust ior Mme. Jumel—to MVorkmeister. Mr. O’Conor had given a solu- tion of that operation, imagining that Mr. Ham- ton, on examination, found that Workmeister ‘had No title under the appointment, and for that reason gave up the tive and received back the consideration money, $15,000. There was no proof that that was, but it was after Mme. Jumel be- came Mme. Burr. Of all the people in the world to g to to protect her irom an enemy of Burr's the ast woula be Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton took {the title long belore Burr died. Mme. Jumei sepa- fated from Burr; she got a divorce irom him, and 1 be (Mr. Onatfeld) recoliected aright the divorce ‘was granted on the very day burr died. Mr. O’Conor—It was grauted some time be‘ore, Dut it isa somewhat singular coincidence that it ‘was enrolled the very day he died. Mr. Chattleid—I presume my learned friend knows exactiy, ior he was in that case. Mr. Chat- Held then went on to say that he had made the re- marks just uttered because the bill filed against ‘them covered the whole of the property and the roperty sequired aiter the deatu of Mr. Jumei by tne hy me! PF sees ad Biatchford—So far as any existing res is ‘Hed there is a claim made against tue whole | 01 the property. Mr. O’Conor—So far as those written papers are concerned, that is true. We do not make out any paper title on the spot to any more than the piece Of property mentioned by Mr. Chatheld. But it May be fit to observe that lot No. 6 is part of the | inety-four acres that were conveyed, as my friend | Says, to Mr. Hamilton. That is ihe part o/ it on | he map, and it appears, by the evidence, to have | Deen occupied as one parcel, Now, it is true that | 0 conveyance has veen found trom Stephen Jumel to Mary Jumel Bowen for part oi the nivety- four acres, not being lot No. 6. No suca convey- Bnce has been found. It ts also true that no con- | Veyance has been found from Stephen Jumel to Mary Jumei Bowen or to Workmeister, just | a3 ‘my friend ‘been a _ piece remaining says, This appears to have of very wild kind of land, in occupation all the time ‘Which you may suppose, te title resting in Ste- | Ge Jumel's heirs; but it was very evident tnat ime. Jumel and Mr. Workmeister thought differ. Whether they had adequate reason for ht So May be @ question. They thought that ‘the whole of this ninety-four acres had been con- veyed to Mary Jumel Bowen and by her conveyed to Workmeister in trust, and the same was made ‘by Workmeister under the supvosed power of ap- pointment, as if the whole of it had been con- ‘veyed. Mr. Hamilton conveyed the whole o/ it on the same trust on which it had previously been heid, as recited in the deed to him. When Mr. Jumel came back irom France, in 1828, he told a most intelligent aod respectable person, a Mr. aril, who had been examined on the trial, that every bit of bis property had been conveyed a y, and if not it went by escheat to the | Savings Banks. Before Judge Donohue. The contest between the receivers of the defunct Guardian and Bowling Green Savings Banks as to | the possession of $14,000 surplus growing out ofa mortgage transaction, and which came up on a mo- | tion to confirm the report of the referee awarding | it to Mr. Quinlan, the Receiver of the Guardian | Savings Bank, was argued at length a few days | since by Mr. James W. Gerard and William C. Trull, | has ended in a _ decision confirming the | report. A decision was given to this effect yesterday by Judge Donohue, as | follows:—*‘A thorough reading of the papers kere | a! me the report is correct, The money in | Court is the proceeds of real estate belonging to | the defendant, and on which at the time of the | Sale there was in existence a mortgage in favor of | Walter Roche, assigned to the party in whose favor the report is made. The successful party starts with a written contract in his favor, aod the ap- | pealing party here has the burden o1 disproving the terms o1 this writing. This I do not think he | hasdone. This aside from the question of his right in the collateral proceedings to attach the mortgage. A carelul examination of the evidence convinces me that the referee arrived at the cor- rect conclusion. Decisio: By Judge Donohue. Simmons vs. Simmons.—Judgment ordered.

Smith and others, through which they re- ceived a contract for building a portion of an | Indianaraliroad. The amount of the contract was $250,000, and he was to be paid $5,000 commission. | As the contract fell through payment of his brokerage was refused.

Verdict Against the Third Avenue Rail- road Company. Before Judge Spier. Thomas Hamilton paid, as he claims, through fare on the Third Avenue Railroad Company, but on changing cars at the depot no check was given from him, so that he bad nothing left that he could | call his own; that he was displeased with the a Yangement; that be had effected a settiement with Jumel; that he was to have a good and com- fortable subsistence out of the property while he and that the whole was to go to Mary alter tue aea' After 6 lengthened argument as to the legal and eflect oO! the various deeds cited in the course of the discussion, Mr. Chatfield contended that there was no latent equity in Mary Jumel Bowen to show thatthe property ever belongea to her. He referred to authorities to show that the power in the trust must be governed by the ist steel, and held that Mme. Jumei’s title was late fee simple.

Itis conceded by all experienced in, nautical matters that pilots are necessary to enter and depart from port, ‘the question now 1s, Can tt be made citicient without compulsory pilotage? To be a competent pilot for any port where there are shoals requires a long and accurate service and training. Vor instance,tor the port of New York, the ¢ time before a man becomes a pilot is eight years, and of continuous service. Noone would undergo that service unless it was guaranteed on the art of lawmakers that y, should have some privi- jewes secured to them, that they should haye employ- ment furnished them in their vocation. That is the # of all the compulsory pilot laws. ke New. York, whose imports and exports entering by the way of Sandy Hook, and all brought in in charge of pilots, amounting | to $1, 100,005,459, for vessels and cargo, without any loss ot any consequence. ‘This hasbeen done by the effect of the compulsory sys- tem, which applies equally to the pilots as well as to the vessels obliged to taxe pilots, as the pilots, by the laws and regulations of the Commissioners, are obliged to cruise and obliged to board and every vessel, what- ever she may be, with @ six: for a pilol ie present compulsory law of the State of New York was framed by a committee of five nies, representing the four large shipowners representing the Chamber of Commerce, and one hydrographe! and was legalized by the State of New York in 1853. ‘ihe importance of its working is shown from the fact that hard! if any disaster has happened. New York, trom having been an object of great dread to all shipthasters, is now as safe as any port in the known world. Previous to 1845 wrecks were of common occurrence on the shores of New Jersey and Long Island. Swo vessels were lost m one month, drowning over 600 per- sons, within sight of Sandy Hook Lighthouse. Liverpool, which may be considered similar to New York, has its compulsory system, and over 17,186 vessels were piloted in and out of that port in the year 1:73. The stutistics are not as favorable as those of New York. On the question of interest in the vessels and cargo the parties applying to repeal the compulsory laws have not rter of the uiterest of those who are opposed to the underwriters throughout the country ve per cent of the interest and are unani- mous against the repeal, as well as many of our wealthy shipowners and masters. t ns pune. assumed their vocation under the law of the United states, which aathorized the several States to cre- ate pilots when necessary. There are now in the port of New York 174 pilow who have learned their proiession by great personal exposure and hazard; they have tiventy-nine pilot boats, all of which would be useless, and have cost large sums of money, consequently would sell tor uttle, having been built for that particular ser- ice, and we respectiuliy submit whether a law should passed that would deprive them of their livelihood roperty, aud whether it would be 2 consistent with. justice. Iris to be regretted that the statement of the earnings of the pilots should be so erroneous, as the Pilot Com- missioners, without doubt, on application, would have furnished them with a trus copy statement, making tne amount actually received $65:,i00. ‘The same statement makes the pilots receit 267, when the actual earn- ings, deducting the expenses of the boats, leaves $23! not a large sum for men who begin as pilots at the age of twenty-eight, and, asa general rule, are disabled by the tume they are fifty-six. dhe percentage on all the property brought in by the pilots taken as stated would be buc7-100 of one per cent, and considering the parties applying for a repeal have no transactions for less than two and a halt per cent. So far as the subject has been treated in this memorial it is a matter of pecuniary interest; but there is another consideration tar higher—that of humanity. Would the people of our country, who have thousands of their rela- tives afloat upon the ocean as passengers, be willing to break up a system which atfords almost a certain se- curity to them, and leave all in uncertainty and doubt, invoiving the destruction of itfe and property?

Vacant Lots on Second Avenue Filled with the j, Dust of the Kn'ckerbookers—The Old First Street Graveyard Raked by Contrac- tors—Public Indignation in Har- lem—Cremating Old Coffins, There has been & good deal of excitement within the last 1ew days at Harlem, in the neighborhood of 100th street and Second avenue, caused by the filling in of the vacant lots known as the “Harlem fats,” from 100th street as far south as Ninety- sixth street and between First and Second ave- nues, The surrounding inhabitants by no means object tothe filling in of the vacant lots, but the Material used to fill np the “flats” to the level of First and Second avenues within the above limits has given rise to THE DEEPEST INDIGNATION in the neighborhood, which threatens to assume & tangible form in the shape of a public protest against the further continuance of the work with such material. When the street clean- ing contract was held by John L. Brown irom the old Street Cleaning Commission, which was abolished by the Legisla- ture of 1872, the contractor used street dirt for the filling in of vacant lots in Harlem which he had himself previously purchased. In one year in this Way, it is said, Brown made $1,000,000 and the neighborhood was correspondingly improved. When the street cleaning contract was abolished the filling in of the Harlem flats and vacant lots was farmed out to private contractors. The vacant lots in the vicinity of Fourth avenue and 108th street were let out tobe filled in by Ambrose & Mills, and the “fats” between First and Second avenues, from 100th street to Ninety-sixth street, by McQuade (ex-Police Justice from the Harlem district and ex-Harlem Court House Commissioner) and Jones. It appears that the two former in the neighborhood of Fourth avenue and 100th street with ordinary street dirt purchased from the Police Commissioners, and removed from the streets by the latter’s horses and carts, It seems, however, that Messrs. McQuade & Jones, alter having succeeded in procuring tieir contract, purchased the old graveyard in First street, and, with the material taken from this piece of CONSECRATED GROUND, proceeded to fill inthe fat lots. The work pro- gressed without any interruption for some time; but it subsequently came to the knowledge of the inhabitants of the neighborhood that the adjoin- ing “fats” were being filled in with THE DUST OF THE KNIOKERBOCKERS. The prospect of a lively shaking among the dry bones of these venerabie gentry on stormy nights when the winds howl over the flats is not the most inviting to persons of a nervous temperament, and accordingly the neighborhood got its back up. At first it contented itself with grumbling at the con- tractors. Then there were delegations to visit the fats to test the truth of the story of the ereveyand dust being used as foundation for rows of Eng- lish basements in the future. If there were any incredulous among the visitors their doubts were set at rest, Human bones were ireely exhibited broadcast in every direction where the [Bb earth was thrown. .The overseers of the work freely admitted the trath of the story, and did not attempt to deny that they had irequently come across HUMAN REMAINS, which had been transferred from the First street graveyard. The anger of the neighborhood, how- ever, only culminated when a large pile had been made of the fragments of coffins and set fire to one day within the last week. Some gentlemen resid- ing in the vicinity then took the matter earnestly A call tor an indignation meeting was issued, and @ number of persons were asked for signatures toa protest against the further con- tinuance of what they called “a gross outrage,” which were very freely given. It was decided to ask Mr. George D. Bayaud, an importer, of No. 60 New street, who Owns @ good deal of property in the neighborhood, to preside at @ public meeting to be held at the City Hall. J A HERALD reporter called on this gentleman yes- terday aiternoon. He said he had visited the Harlem flats, which are now being filled in by ex- Police Justice McQuade and a Mr. Jones, and he had been told by one of the overseers of the work that the men very frequently 10 filling came across aoe remains, It was nothing at all unusual to LEG BONES AND ARM BONES and other remains which were evidently those of human beings, Other gentiemen whom he knew in the neighborhood had seen the remains them- selves and were very indignant about the matter, He then said that it was true that quite a quan- tity of old coffins had been burned on ta, and that the people living in the neighborhood had become very much incensed. He bad been called on to attend @ public indigna- tion meeting to be held at the City Hall, to protest against the further filling in of the fats with ma- terial taken irom consecrated —— He had answered that he was thoroughly in sympathy With the object of the meeting, but he told the gentleman who called on him tn reference to tne Matter that he would be unabie to attend, by rea- gon of the pressure of business engagements. In reply to the question of the HERALD reporter, Mr. Bayaud stated that tne objectionable material was used in soe the Harlem flats irom 100th street to Ninety-sixth, or thereabouts. He had been told the material had been taken from the old First sirect graveyard which Messrs. McQuade & Jones, the contractors, had purchased when they got the fliling contract. THIS GRAVEYARD is now being excavated ‘or building purposes, and the material dug out is transferred in carts to Harlem. REPORTER—Mr. Bayaud, what is the state of pub- lic teeling in reference to this matterin Harlem? Mr. BAYAUD—Most people have a strong relig- ious scruple against it and consider it A SAORILEGIOUS OUTRAGE. I have felt strongly in the matter, because I feared that if the hot weather should set in sud- bet upon us the transfer of this material froma public graveyard to a crowded neighborhood and the burniog of heaps of coffin fragments may be Jar from serving the health of the neighborhood. It appears that some gentlemen living in Har- lem are determined to carry out the project of holding an indignation meeting. A NEW POLITIOAL PARTY. Curcaaco, May 6, 1874. Ameeting of the Advisory Board of the State Farmers’ Association of Illinois was held at Bloom- ington yesterday, 52 out of the 102 counties in the State being represented. The ebject of the meeting was to decide upon the advisability of or- ganizing an independent political party, the mat- ter having been reierred by the last meeting of the State Association to this committee. Alter aiscussion, which lasted nearly all day, it was Xecided by an almost unanimous vote that a new party shouid be organized, which shall inclu¢e members of all industrial organizations, and a call was issued for a State Conyention, to meet at Bloomington on the 10th of June. THE LIOENSE QUESTION IN MISSOURI. Ladies Electioneering at the Polls—A Temperance Victory. Sr. Louis, May 6, 1874, At the city election in Hannibal, Mo., yesterday, the question of license or no license was submitted to the people as an independent proposition. No license was carried two toone. A novel feature of the contest was that many ladies on both sides of the question remained at the polls all day and electioneered with great vigor and earnestness, The victors were very jubilant last night and the city was ablaze with bonfires, the church bells were rang and other demonstrations were made in honor of the event.
