PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE. Ag important decision was rendered yesterday by Judge Larremore in the case of Helen 8, Grin- neil against Frederick 8. Rutland, heard by bim in Equity Term of the Court of Common Pleas, Its Mmportance consists in the elaborate but clear @iscussion of the legal principles involved in the @edication of private property to public use, The following is the opinion :— In the year 1861 Mra. Lucy Audubon was seized nd poesessed of certain lands in the city of New York known as ‘Audubon Park,” lying between the streets and avenues designated on the map or plan of said city previously made as 155th ana UsTth streets and Eleventh and Twelfth avenues. Ou said mapastrip of iand sixty fect in width was laid as 156th street. In the year last men- (toned Mrs. Audubon sola the land fronting on (goth trees to different parties, making the Qentre of 156th street the dividing line and the @ortnerly and southerly boundary of the respec- tive parcels thus conveyed. At the time of such sale there was @ road or lane runnin; ‘2 through said lands, along that portion thereof which 1s shown on said map as the porth- ‘ly part of 166th street, and is now used substan- tially a8 the same was originally laid out ior the convenience of the owners of property on the line thereof. In the deeds given by Mrs. Audubon, as @foresaid, each of the grantees therein named covenant’ ‘and agree that their grantor, her lietrs and assigns, shall be aud are entitied to a sum cient right of way through and along 166th street, thereby couveyed to said grantee ior all lawiul purposes, to use the same as & public road. fhe parties to this action, by sundry written convey- ances, have become tue owners of the land io eee plaintif of the northerly and the lelendant of the southerly portion thereof. No Bap of said premises was ever made by Mrs. Audubon. No proceedings have ever been taken by the public authorities to open said street; and on an official map recently made said strip of and is laid out as a street and does not appear thereou, This fact summarily disposes of tuc questions as to the right to have and use satd strip pf land as a street, The plaintiff claims, however, that by the boundaries contained in said deeds by Mrs. Audubon there was a dedi- eation of jand called 166th street as for & Street, and that the same is subject to an ease- ment and right of way Jor the benefit of the Owners o/ lands fronting thereon, to the full ex- tent of the widin thereot, and that it should be Kept open for that purpose. To this end she geeks tue Judgment of the Uourt, and that defend- ents may remove all fences and obstructions irom the southerly half of said street and reirain thereatter trom obstructing the same. The question of dedication is one of interest, to be eshablisned by acts unequivocal and decisive in their character and unmistakaole in their pur- pose (Hunter vs. Trustees sandy Hill, 6 Hill, 407; Carpenter vs. Gwynn, 35 Bail, 395). ‘This principie is general in its application, whether construed 8810 favorof the public or as between owners and purchasers. Did Mrs, Audubon intend that a Btreet of the width o! sixty cet should be opencd fat once and in any event jor the benefit of her immediate grantees, whether it snould be epted or not by the public authorities ? Dia such grantees so understand it, when in the Very instrument in which such dedication 1s al- leged to have been made is contained a reserva- son on ber part, and a covenant on theirs, as toa fight of way torough and along the street ‘in ques- tion? Nodemand appears to have been made on their part, or their successors in interest, Jor the ning and use of said street. On the contrary, the roud reserved in said deeds has been used and accepted by them as sufficient for all purposes of imgress and egress to and from vhe lands in uestion, for more than twenty years. It 18 evi- lent, then, that the alleged dedication was qualt- fied and not absolute, and that it was intended to take effect only upon an acceptance by the public authorities. But it 18 urged with great force that the question in dispure has already been adjudi- cated; that when an owner of city property sells tt, in lots or parcels, vounded on a street, whether opened or designed and by reference to a map made And filed, such act alone coustitutes a dedication of the land included in the proposed street, But in the causes relied upon to maintain this proposi- tion, viz., Livingstone vs. ‘I'he Mayor, &c,, 8th Ward, 85; Wyman vs, The Same, 1ith Ward, 487. In re thrgcourth street, 1 Hill, 191. In re Seventeenth street, 1 Ward, 262, the question of acceptauce was not in dispute. These were cases arising upon assessments made for the opening of the streets by the public authorities, and the lact of ptance was the basis of the whole procecd- \og. Tne general term of the Supreme Court in | Badeau vs. Mead, 14th Barb, 528, aiter a review Df the earlier decisions, holds “that a grant, whether tuferential or direct, or whetner the jublic or @ private individual, ts incfiicacious Bnen accepted by the grantee; that the doctrine of & dedication has been carried far enough and bugnt not to be extended.” And the Uourt of Appeais, in Fonda vs. Borst, 2d Key, 48, held that a purchaser of a lot, designated and lafa ous on @ map as bounded by a street, was not en- titled to have suid street opened until it had been accepted by tne public. ‘nis decision makes po distinction between urban and rural property. The land in dispute not having been accepted by the pubiic authorities, there was no dedication of ivas'a strect, Hor nas there been any accept- thee or uses of It as a road to the extent men- toned in the alleged dedication. The plaincmf bemg in the {ull and undisturbed possession and enjoyment of it on casement or right of way ac- tepted by the original grantee and used by him and those claiming under him tor over twenty ears, the Court sustains this action, and judgmenc Bust be rendered for the defendants therein.

HARLEM POLIOE OOURT. John MeSorley, the liquor dealer of 105th street and Third avenue, who stabbed with a “goad’’ Peter Duffy, of West Farms, on Monday evening, was committed to await the result of his victim’s injuries yesterday at the Harlem Police Court by Judge Otterbourg. The facts of this assault havo already appeared in the HERALD, and nothing re- mains to be added but that Duffy’s wound 1 of a very serious nature, a fatal termination being an- ticipated, ‘The point of the ‘goad’? penetrated the teit side of tue wounded man between two of his ribs, and probably punctured the leit lung. He is at present contined in the Receptiom Hospital. Tne defendant cays he had no intention whatever of driving the “goad” through Daffy’s side, though he admits being very angry at the time because of the assault committed opon him by the wouaded man. THE LATE MAIL ROBBERY, How the Theft Was Discovered—EM- ciency of American Registration. The case of the Post Office clerx, Carey, arrested last Sunday on s charge of embezzling letters in- trusted to his ofMfctal custoay—the particulars of Which has cost some pains to ascertain—agords a marked illustration of the vigilance exercised at the city Post Office in matters of tnis kind, Some months ago circumstances led Special Agent Shar- rett to suspect that Carey—then employed at one of the uptown stations of the oftice—was guilty of dishonest practices, and he accordingly took meas- ures with a view to test the correctpess of these suspicions aud to detect Carey If facts warranted it. For the purpose of carrying out the plan he had adopted, Mr. Sharretts took one of the clerks into bis confidence, but the latter, although | upright and trustworthy, was not gitted with the detective talent, and by omitting to follow strictly some detail of the instructions he hed received, thereby thwarted the schemes of the special agent, and at the same time unintentionally placed Carey on his guard, The facts developed oy the attempt, however, pointed toward a confirmation of Mr. Sharrett’s theory, but not with sufiictent distinctness to jus- tify a direct accusation. When questioned by Post- master James, Carey strenuously asserted his in- nocence; but would nevertheless have becn im- mediately dismissed from the force but for Mr. Sharrett’s representation that it would be but | Jair to give the man an opportunity to vindicate his character and not go out into the world with a stigma upon his name. The Postmaster, therefore, at the requost of Carey, transferred him to the | General Post Ofice. Mr. sharrett, whose reputation .as a shrewd and eiticient agent stands very high, quietly continued his operations; but ior a long tine Carey, escape irom detection, showed no symptoms of a return to his evil ways. The close and patient watch whico it was thought best to establish over him was, however, rewarded a ew days since by | the discovery of unmistakabie signs of guilt, and a plan tor bis complete detection was soon devised and put into execution with the successiul result already stated above and published in yesterday’s HERALD. There has been some exaggeration of the facts in previoas reports of this case, and the number of letters actuaily jost through Carey's dishonesty greatly maguified. Although he adinitted naving vaken about 1,000 letters from tne office, all but about seventy of them were returned, as it was his custom to secretly replace those which he supposed not to contain money. ‘he smali percentage of money letters among the large numver taken shows the extent to whicn the public make use of the money order ana regis- tered letter system. The later, by the w: the invention of an _ ofiicer of the York Post Office, Mr. James Gayler, now Gene! Superintendent of the City Delivery. In 1867 Mr. Gayler, then special Agent of the fost OMice De- partment, being impressed with the utter failure of the registration system as then pursued, pre- sented his views to Postmaster General Dennison, by whom he was requested to devise an improved pian, which he did. {t was acopted and has been In operation ever since. t the system was an eminent success is demonstrated by the tact that, ‘while previous to the above date it Was not an un- common occurrence at the New York Post Onice to nave fifty registered letters ‘as not received” | reported in one week, whereas for the past seven years there have not been ten registered letters lost or gone astray. Itis firmly believed tnat the present American registration system is equal if rot by ad for safety and efficiency to any in the ‘wor! THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE. The Awards of the September Exhibition.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, “The Ide” on a Kentucky Ratlroad Train and What Came Of It—The Hero of Hooker's “Battle Above the Cléuds” (General Whittaker) @ Shooter. un Saturday lasta diMicalty occurred in Ken- tucky between Mr. R, Ton Broeck and Genera, Whittaker, belteved to be the division commander, under General Joseph Hooker, uf the Twentietn corps, in the ‘‘battlc above the clouds,” at Lookout Mountain, which nas not been telegraphed East. General Whittaker and ex-Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania, were the real heroes of that battle, and since the war General Whittaker has been practising law. The Louisville papers of the 9th do not ag! a6 to which party fread first, the Com- mercial giving that credit to Mr. Ten Broeck and the Courr-Journal according the honor of the first shot to the General. The account in the latter journal ts selected, as it a Spnears.to be unbiased, ‘The Courter-Journal says:— Mr, Richard Ten Broeck, the well known Ken- tucky stock raiser, living about eight miles trom the city on the Shelbyville pike, was shot and se- Yerely wounded by George Walter Whittaker, at Giiman’s Point, five miles from the city, yester- day alternoon. ‘The people of Louisvi ie were greatly excited over the exaggerated report 01 the affair, which reached the city about dusk, to the elect that Generai Whittaker had abot Mr. Ten Broeck three times, inflicting wounds which cansed his death in a short time afterward, Such was, fortunately, not the case; and a reporter of the Courier-Journal, who went to the scene of the Tragedy last might, learned the iollowing partioa- lane o of the affair, which were elicited at the ex- amining trial of "General Whittaker last night:— THE PRECEDING CIRCUMSTANCES, Mr. Whittaker lives near Linden station, about nine miles from the city, and practises bis profes- sion here, going home in the aiternoon, sometimes ou the accommodation and sometimes on the Lex- ington train. esterday he started home on the latter, which lelt at ten minutes to six P. M. Mr. Ten Broeck was in the city on business and left on the same train. Messrs, Ten Broeck and Whittaker took sents near ¢ach other, and, soon after the train started, were engaged im conversation. During the conver- sation Mr. Ten Broeck made a remark concerning some family matters, which seemed xreatly to offend Mr. Whittaker. According to the statement of a witness, Mr. Ten Broeck said to Mr. Whittaker, “You know I brought your sister-in-law home trom New York.’ ‘The allusion seemed to be of a delicate ure, and Generai Whittaker becoming instantly angry. replied, ‘YOU ARK A DAMNED LIABI? Some angi y words on both sides then ensued, and a fight between the parties on the train seemed imminent; indeed, had it not been for the interierence of iriends, a bloody tragedy might have been enacted in the car.’ Wheu the train reached the Fair Grounds, Mr. Ten Broeck went into anotuer car, and bane farther occurred unui the train reached Gilman's Point, where Mr. Ten Broeck stopped to mect an engagement. THE QUAREEL RENEWED. General whittaker also leit the train, and meet- ing Mr. Ten Broeck on the platform again com- menced to guerre with him. Mr. Coaries A. Lewis and Colonel R, H. Crittenden, of Frankfort, were Witnesses to the scene that lollowed, and testified in Whittaker’s examining trial before two county magistrates. Mr. Crittenden stated thet he saw Whittaker approuch ‘cn Broeck in a hostile manner. ‘Ten Broeck, waving both hands belore his face, told Whittaker repeatedly to go away, that he dian’t want to have anything more to do with him. If any other words passed be tween the parties they were not heard by the wit- nesses. Whittaker continued to advance, and, when within a few feet o! Mr. Ten Broeck, drew a pistol and FIRED TWICE AT HIM without effect. ‘Ihe pistol was presented a third time, when Mr. Ten Broeck, seeing the only chance to save his life was to get in closer quarters with his antagomist, rushed toward nim. Whittaker fired a third thme, but again without effect. Ten Broeck closed in upon his adversary and a struggle ensued, But the struggle was quickly endeu, Whittaker, releasing his arm from Mr. Ten Broeck’s grasp, placed the muzaieof his pistol to the old geuticman’s forehead and fired. Mr. ‘en Broeck INSTANTLY FELL INSKNSIBLE, ‘and, a3 many supposed, vead, upon the platform. Alter he went down Whittaker presented his pis- tol and peti attempted to fire Raa ders body, and was only prevented irom 4 80 by the crowd which quickly gathered around. Sev- eral ol the men who gatucred on the platform took up the apparently lifeles# form of mr. Ten Broeck and curried him to the tavern, about a hundred yards distant iroin the platiorm. F+ some time Mr. Ten Broeck remained insensibl the bloud flowed sluggishly irom a hole almost in the centre of his orenead, aud every one who saw him was impressed with the belief that he was killed outright. Dr. Chenoweth was quickly sam- moned to the Place, and on examining tue wound jound it ih be of MUCH LESS SERIOUS NATURE than was “snpposea. By probing he secertained that the ball had not entered the skull, but nad glanced upwards under the scalp, running over the bone and coming out near the rear of the crown of the head. ‘The physician pronounced it only a flesh wound, and was ot tue opifion that it was not of # serious or dangerous Mature. Alter his wound was dressed Mr. Ten Broeck was conveyed to his home iu a carriage. Belore being taken away he became again conscious and conversed with his iriends. He did not seem to fear any serious results from bis wound anu only complained of extreme weak- ness. Mr. Ten Groeck is over sixty yeurs old and quite feeble, and the shock of sucn an affair was of itself sufficient to prodace nervous prostration. He was resting quietly at ms home ata late hour last night. WHITTAKER ADMITTED TO BAII. Soon after the shuoting General Whittaker sur- rendered himself tu Coustavie J. C. Vidham and had an examining trial beiore Esquires Kaymond and Rudy. Messrs. Crittenden and Lewis were the only witnesses, and testified in substance to toe Jacts which we have above stated. The wound being regarded as not of a serious or dangerous nature, General Whittaker was released on a bail of $2,500 and went home by the next train. General Whittaker ts not unused to scenes of blood. Some years since he stabbed and killed a lawyer in Shelbyville, and aiterwara shot and killed young Hodges, tn Frankfort. Two years since, {n an altercation with Mr. Aaron Penning- ton, he was struck # severe blow in the head. He | was alterward placed in the insane asyium, from which institution he was discharged, as recovered, about a year since. THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
