THE COURTS. fhe Erie Railway Company Protection Committee of Three, Bill in Equity Against Henry Clews & Co. ANOTHER OF THE PRINCE LEO COURT MATINERS The Money Realized from the Watson Estate Judgment. A suit of interest in connection with the affairs of the Erie Railway Company was tried yesterday before Judge Spaulding of the Marine Court. The suit was brought by John Polhemus, the printer, ngainst the Erie Protoc- Vion Company and the three members composing it, Messrs. John Livingston, Gustavus A. Hollinger and John Hooper, individually, to recover $408 18, the last aamed two being respectively the secrotary and presi- dent of the’ committee, The printing done, and for which the suit is brought, was of circulars purporting to have been issued by the company principally in the interest of the English bondholders, ‘The debt is admitted by Livingston, who is a witness for the plaintiff, and who claims he acted with the approbation of his two associates. His two codefendants, however, claim that ail the circulars were issued without their approvation, and more particu- larly that the understanding was that no expense should be incurred against them, but that all the ox. pense was to be borne out of a fund which Livingston Said had been placed in his hands for that purpose by English stockholders, and that therefore they are not Hable for the debt. The plaintiff was represented in court by Mr. William W. Pearson and ex-Governor Lowe, of Maryland, and the defendants, Hollinger and Hooper, by Mesers. Sullivan, Kobve and Fowler. The main witness in favor of plaintilf was Livingston, one of the de(ondants. He testified that all the printing had been done with the concurrence of his two associates, who nily examined and corrected the proofs of the circulars, before being issued, Ou the part of de- fendants their own testimony was to the effect that in July of this year they were invited by Livingston to his house, in West Fourteenth street, for the purpose of forming @ committee of protection in aid of that formed in England by the Erie bondholders; that he there met for the first time Mr. Hooper; that though he, Mr. Hooper, Livingston and a stenographer, wero the only parties present, they proceeded to form the committee and elect thomselves to office, Hooper being elected president, Hollinger, secretary, and all three the finance committce;’ that from time to time meetings and consultations were held at Livingston’s house, and circulars issued, only one of which was approved otherwise than by Livingston Bilary, and that qne only by Hollinger. Mr. Pollinger testified that on one occasion Livingston proposed to call a meeting of Erie bondholders at Del- monico’s, and asked him to prepare a speech for the Occasion.” He did prepare such a speech, occupying 0 days on the work. Livingston theu borrowed the Bpeech to look it. over, and, instead of calling the meoting, embodied the substance of the speech in a circular he proposed to issue, To this Hollinger sub- mitted, and approved the circular, Next, beiore the circular was issued, Hollinger saw it published in the papers, and on’ censuring Livingston for this was answered that it would do good and make him Tiollinger) the most famous man in New York. All his time Livingston claimed to have proxies from English stockholders to the extont of 7,000,000, and ghowed a bundle of papers purporting to contain them. One circular which was to be published was found, after being printed, to con- tain an advertisement of @ $3 book got up by Living- ston on Erie affairs. Ofthis he disapproved; but Liv- ingston thought, as he was doing all this work at his own expense, he ouzht to have the benefit of the adver- tisement, Again, it was discovered that Living:ton was issuing an assessment circular, asking for twenty-tive cents a share from all holders of stock in favor of the Movement of the commitice, in violation of the agreement of the members of the committee that no assessment should be called for until the committee had been increased and placed upon a more responsible basis, In this assessment circular it was re; resented that the committee was backed by bondbolders whose names and amount of stock were given—the stock amounting to about haifof ull the outstanding stock of the company. Upon sccing this representation Mr. Hollinger suggested to Livingston that there was a possibility, if such w circular was issued aud it was un- true, that the parties receiving money under it might be held for false pretences. Having disapproved of pre- ceding circulars and having resolved to pay out no mouey for work which was represented to be im the interest of the English stockholders and at their cost, and having seen this assessment circular about to be issued without their approval, Hollinger d Hooper thought it was about time to insist on se0- ing Livingston's proxies and his letters from England empowering him to act. On the demand being made, Livingston at first appointed a time to exhibit them, but when the time arrived put it off, and finally refused altogether. This determined Messrs, Hollinger and Hooper to retire from the committee, and they tendered their resignations, which wore sccopted by tho samo overwhelming majority ‘ns that . whereby they were voted into oifice. When the assess- ment circular came to light Hollinger says he asked who was to reovive the money, as there was no treas- turer, and Livingston answered that he would. “What will you dowith it?” inquired Hollinger, ‘Put it in my pocket,’’ answered Livingston, “I have incurred expenses which must bo paid, and I intend to hold you responsible for them.’’ Thus, according to defendant's testimony, the original commitiee was dissolved. While it was in existence, witness added, Livingston brought them to the Brevoort House to introduce thei to Sir Edward Watkin, representing the Enghsh interests, and although he did so introduge them, Sir Edward id not seem to recognize the fue® that Livingston had any charge of the interests of the English stockhold- ers. In short, the defendants claim that Livingston did not have any such interest in charge, that le-did not have proxies of the stock, that he had ho authorit; vo invite proxies in the name of Cornelius Vanderbilt and William H. Vanderbilt as he did m his circulars, and that he never bad authority to bind his associates for this, or any debt. Ata late hour the case was submitted to the jury, which, after a brief absence, found a verdict against Livingston for the full amount claimed, and found tor the defendants Hooper and Hallinger, HENRY CLEWS & CO. In the case of Henry Clews & Co., late bankers in this city, Mr. J. Nelson Tappan, trusteo of Henry Clews and Theodore S, Fowler, composing that firm, now in bankruptcy, has filed bill in the United States Cireuit Court in Equity, Judge Johngon presiding, The bill Is against Francis Loomis, and also against ¥rederick Butterfield, Frank H. Intoos, Frederick Taylor and Peter B. Worrall, members of the firm of F. Butter- field & Co., praying that he, Tappan, as trastec, may be Protected in equity, &c., as he has uo remedy in com- mon law against certain acts of the said Loomis and the said firm of Butterfield & Co. Among other things itis alleged jn the bill that in November, 1874, Clows & Co, were adjudged bankrupts and Tappan appointed trustee of their estate, Some time in October, 1874, Clews & Co,, being then insolvent or acting in contemplation of insolvency, mado to Frederick Taylor what purported to bean assigninent to him in trust all of heir prop- erty except that which was exempted by law from selz- ure and sale under execution. Tappan then filed a bill before Judge Blatchford in the United States District Court praying tbat the so-called assignment be set aside and declared void, On that bill and the proceed- ing thereafter held Tappan was made recetyer of the estate “purported to have been fo assigned."". The — bill alloges further, that from February 10, 1860, to November 15, 1874, Clews & Co, acted a8 brokers for Loomis, and ‘bough’ and sold stocks, bonds, &¢., for him, and’ also loaned im large amounts of money trom time to time on col- deral securities. ‘Cho collatérals, which were deposited by Loomis, it was agreed should be disposed of by Clews & Oo. whenever they desired to do so, and that when the day of settlement was fixed, and upon pay- ment by Loomis of the amounts loaned to him by Ciews & Co., the latter firm should return securities resenting the same stocks and bonds, but Te Tecestarily tho identical —cortiflieates’ de- posited with them as collaterals, or that on a nal settlement Clews & Co. should credit Loomis with the value of the said securities at the market value on the day of their sale or on the day of settlement, as thould be agreed. About September 1873, a state. ment of account was made by Clews & Co., which was accepted by Loomis, trom which it appears that on that dute Loomis was indebted to Clows & Co. in the sum of $137,360 72, and for og i of which sum he had posited with them the following securities :—600 shares of the stock of the Chic Company, of tho par value of $100, and 104 bonds of the {owa and Minnesota division of the Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad Company, of the par value of $1,000each, ‘Tho bill alleges, aiso, that while Clews & Co. held these feouriues, they did, for a valuable consideration transfer 500 shares of the said stock and 103 of the said bonds to the firm of Butterfleld & Co., and that tho latter firm now claims them as its lawful property. After that transfer Loomis commenced suit in the Su rior Court of the county of New London, Vonnecticut, to recover them from Butterfleld & €o.,, ond that suit is now pending. It is ut further, that if Loomis gains the suit, Butter- field & Co, will make claim against M ypan as (rus tee for damages on account of the consideration a Clews & Co, for the stocks and bonds specified. tthe Dill enumerates several other transactions after the atylo of that given above, It prays further, that Loomis shall be enjoined from carrying on the suit mentioned until he shall have appeared in the court here in answer to the matters set forth in this bill, No answer has been made yot. PRINCE LEO’'S MATINEES. ‘The Prince Leo court matinées continue to attract o and Aiton Railroad | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1875—TRIPLE SHEET. day in the Court of Oyer ana yerminer roam. A grow- ing relish is evinced by the youthful tight-rope walker to these entertainments and his personal neg sd ee manifestly increasing. His childish proclivity does not seem, however, ip the least diminished, for moat of the time he was busily occupied playing with the toys given him, of which re uet s poses < supply. He also shows an increasing fondness President of the Society de tooun at Seely to Children, and, while not occupied with his playthings, sits in the aged humanitarian’s lap. The person least interested in the performances is evidently Mr. canemt, the quondam trainer and guardian of the young Prince, and from whose custody, on the charge of cruelty, it is now sought to remove him. As on the prior occasions, the Society for the Prevention ¢f Cruelty to Children was represented by Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry, while Mr, Leonard's egal rights are sedulously looked after by Mr. Langbein, Dr. Willard Parker gave at length his views of the re- sults likety to ensue if Prince Leo was allowed to follow his profession of tight rope walker under the tuition of Mr. Leonard. He said that he had made an examina- tion of the child, and found that he was pale aud un- healthy looking, that his abdomen was large and that there was an undue curvature of the spine; in his opin- jon these unnatural affections were produced by nis mode of life, and were nota natural result. He then went on to say that if the child was obliged to walk the tight rope every night with a ten pound balangg pole in his hand it would be apt to produce this enlargement of the abdomen and the curvature ot the spine and that this constant exercise would be apt to impair his future physical and mental development; he thought that if the child were to walk this tight rope with nothing beneath him to catch bim if he fell, and his being trem- ulous at the time, it would produce eventually such an effect uvon his nervous system as perhaps to result tn, ‘epilepsy or a diseased condition of: the mind, while walking the ipelined rope he should full, having a rope round his waist to hold him, the sudden. jerk might result in rupture or even more serious injury to the mtestines; he believed that the boy in his present andeveloped condi- tion, if deprived of his sleep from half-past ten to eleven o'clock every night, would soon become debill- tated both in body and mind; a boy of his age required more sleep than a full-grown man; he thought that the child should be in bed every night at eight o’clock and be allowed to sleep as long as he wanted to, The Doc- tor further added that these sudden falls from the tight- rope would materially affect the nervous system, and that the sudden changes of temperature to which he was subjected were very injurious and would naturally result in many diseases incident to childhood. He added further’ that it would be very dangerous for the boy to be raised three or four teet from the rope and then allowed to drop straddling it, On his cross-exam- ination he, however, aamitted that if the boy went through this performance without any fear or appre- hension it would not aye the same effect, and that the curvature of the spine might be occasioned by other means than the tight rope performance, Before the conclusion of Dr. Parker's dingnosis of the case Prince Leo was called to the witness chair by Mr. Gerry and requested to display his artistic tale:t by drawing a representation of his performance on the tight rope, which he did amid much laughter in the court room, When this little side show was termi- nated Mr. Gerry made another attempt toget some a ditional facts from the boy. He said he had a mothe Dut had notseen her for a very long while; he hi brother or sister; he drank beer sometimes; Le used to give him beer to drink and beet to eat; he had fallen from the rope once in awhile at rehearsals, The ubove closed the testimony yesterday, and then the case was adjourned till next Tuesday, at which time iv is thought all the remaining testimony will be taken, IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. The suit brought in the Supreme Court of Kings coun- ty by Henry Sweetland against Frederick Schwoon has been on trial for wo days before Judge Barnard, It was an action brought by the plaintiff, ae assignee, to recover damages for breach of a charter party of tho steamer Miranda made in December, 1873, by Charles H. Sempf, an agent and brother-in-law of the defendant, the defence being that the agent had exceeded his pow- ors, It was-shown that Sempf arrived from Europe on the 3d of November, 1873, and on the 5th of November was given a power of attorney by the defendant to sign checks. On the 9th of November the defendant sarod from Europe, leaving Sempf in charge of his office, ana ; did not return until December 22 On December 3 Sempf, as defendant's agent, chartered the vessel, Her lay days wore up on the 22d, ‘and on the 28¢ and 24th the Captain wax paid demurrage by Sempf The defendant claimed to have first heard of ihe charter party on the 24th and to. have at once repudiated Tt appeared that a cirealar was printed on the Sth of November no- tilying the public that Sempf was an agent for the de. fendant in all bis business, and that the Captain en- tered into the charter party on the strength of this cir- cular, -the defendant, however, contending that the circular was issued without his knowledge and after he left for Europe. The plaintiff denied that the defend. ant saw the Captain on December 24, and contended that atter the defendant returned he’ promised to pay the demurrage due on the 26th, and that it was not until the 27th that he repudiated the charter party, and claimed such acts to bea ratification on bis part. The Court refused to allow the plaintif! to recover tor the expense of solicitor'’s fees and Custom House and Consul’s fees, either in New York or in Havre, or for travelling expenses or cablegrams, and submitted the matter to the jury as @ question of fact, depending on whether the defendant had authorized Sempf to sign the charter party in the first instance or whether he ad subsequently ratified it. The jury after a short ab- sence rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for $8,423 67, to which the Court addod an allowance of five per cent, Mr. George W. Wingate appeared for plaintiif, and Mr. Thomas H. Rodman for detendaut. THE WATSON ESTATE. After Surrogate Hutchings gave lis order in the case of The People against the estate of the late County Aud- itor Watson, directing that certain moneys, amounting to some $590,000, should be paid to the State Treasurer, a new feature in the case has been developed. It ap- pears that if the moncy is paid under that order and gets into the State Treasury special legislation will be required to enable the city of New York to recover any part of it, whereas the State is entitled to its expenses only, and the balance is really the property of the city, In order to avoid that complication of affairs, Surrogate Hutchings made a modification in his order yesterday, so that the full amount will be made payable to the order of the Attorney General, who will deduct the ex- penses 01 the State, and remit the balance to the City Comptroller, DECISIONS.

Levitt, a man with half a dozen aliases, con" victed in 1874 of smuggling in the Northern district of this State, and who escaped from Rochester Prison while in transitu to Auburn Prison under a sentence for six months and a fine of $600, was recaptured here yesterday, and is now in charge of the United States authorities, Before Surrogate Hutchings yesterday the John L, Brown contested will case had a further hearing. Several witnesses were examined, The only important testimony was given by Mary Miller. She said she was intimate with Brown’s family in 1865, and that Mrs, Brown No, 1 told her that she had signed off all her claims as wife in consideration of receiving all the sil- verware and furniture im the houso and $10,000 in cash, which had been paid to her. The case is still on, The following assignments in insolvency were filed yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas:—Meyer and Bernard Moral to David Moral, the liabilities being $6,882 42, and assets, $1,800, and Jacob Kugelman to David Lowen, tho liabilities being $17,076 69, and assets, $8,733 77, Another assignment wag also ro- corded yesterday, that of Everett Trask & Waltor 8, Fairchild, to Manselio Folsom; no statement of assets and liabilities was made, ‘The jury in the caso of the United States va.

The exam: which has been in ross for some time past before Judge Larremore, of the Court of Com- mon growing out of the complaint made by Mr. Bergh on the mode of Killing practised by Messrs. Davis & Co. at their hog slaughtering establish- ment, was concluded yesterday. No new facts were elicited; but the frequent sharp sparring between A. Oakey Hall and Elbridge T, Gerry, the opposing coun. sel, was at times as good aga play, if not better, Judge ‘remore promised an carly decision, but whichever way he decides, it is very certain that an appeal will be taken to the Goneral Term, and thence, in all likelihood, to the Court of Appeals, The contest, in fact, is of the “root hog or die” order, or, in other words, a bitter one, In the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge Robin- son, there was concluded yesterday the trial of the Suit of V. K. Stevenson ot al, ys. Robert W. Mil- bank. The plaintiffs claimed $1,100 for selling defend- ant’s house at Park avenue and Thirty-sixth street for $110,000 to Commodore ©. K. Garrison, ‘The defend- ant’s answer was that though they tried to sell it for him they never succeeded in getting a contract, and finally another broker made a contract with William D. Booth, who assigned his contract to Mr. Garrison. Commodore Garrison testified that he told Mr, Steven- son the terms on which he was willing to buy five months before he bonght, and that though he reduced the price from $125,000 to $110,000 he never offered him a contract exactly complying with. his offer. The plaintiffs claimed that they did the work and that the contract through Booth was a more attempt to evade their claim, ‘The trial ended in a disagreement of the jury, they standing eleven for the plaintiffs and one for the defendant, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS.

Argument has been heard in the Uniied States Su- preme Court on the following cases:— No. 38. Dainese vs. Board of Public Works of the District of Columbian —Appeal from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia; and No. 30, Same vs. Same et al.—These actions were brought by one Dainese to restrain the Board from de- stroying a block of frame buildings he had in course of erection on C street, in Washington, and the other by the Board to restrain Dainese from further proceeding with the work, on the ground that their plan of structure and materials were unsafe. Dainese’s bill was dismissed and the injunction obtained by the Board was made perpetual, the Court holding that the Board had the power to control the character of all buildings erected in the city under the statute, Tho appeals insist that the material and construction of the buildings were proper, and that neither the Board nor the Inspector of Buildings had any power to remove the buildings, which was done pending the decision of the Court below. The District government maintains that the trespass complained of by Dainese was not within the relief afforded by equity, and that hia bill was, therefore, rightlully dismissed; and that for the same reason the Board was entitled ‘to the perpetual injunction granted in the other case. F P. Cuffy and J. W, Ross tor appellant; E. F. Stanton for the Board. No, 40, Bruner et al, vs, Walker ct al.—Appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Alabama, This was an action to have set aside, a sale of the Huntsville Hotel property, at Huntsville, Ala., made to Walker in pursuance of a judgment obtained against the company by the appellants through tbe services of Walker's firm ag attorncys, The appellants were merchants in New York, and in 1867 sent a claim of about $3,000 to the firm of attorneys named for collection. "The lat- ter advised a sale of the claim, which was concurred in, the consideration bios ane ig ‘The judgment was, how- ever, subsequently forfeited, and at the gale Walker bid in the property, as alleged, for another party, who is his codefendant. Fraud is now alleged, the appellants claiming that the whole proceeding was conducted in the intorest of Walker, and that the claim that he acted for another is a cover merely. The answer averred that he acted as agent only and that all tho funds paid as purchase money were furnished by his principal. ‘The decision below sustained the defence, and the appeal questions the correctness of that de- cision on the evidence adduced, F. W. Ward for appel- lants; P. Phillips for appeliees, No, 41, Sawyer & Frozier vs. Turpin et al.—Appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Massachu- setts. This wasa bill by the appellant, as assignee of one Bacheller, a bankrupt, against an English firm, of which Turpin was managing agent, and the other appellees as creditors, to set aside ag fraudulent, under the Bankfupt act, two conveyances of property, real and personal, made by the ene to Turpin, to bold as security for the bankrupt’s indebtedness to his firm. ‘There is no question as to one of the conveyances, the decree below in favor of the assignees being concurred in, but as to the other, which was a chattel mortgage, and in respect to which the decree was for the ap: pellees, it is claimed by the assignees that it was fraudulent, and therefore void, and it is contended that the appellees were preierred by it with the full knowledge of the insolvency of the firm. This is de- nied, and the case turns upon the decision of this ques- tion of fact. J. G. Abbott and B, Dean Jor appellants; J. D. Ball for appellees. No. 42 Hall et al. vs Lanning et al.—Error to the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Illinois, This was an action by the defendants in orror as partners against the plaintiffs as partners also to recover certain leged loans and certain payment of freight and in- surnnce, upon consignments, which claims had been put into judgment in the State of New York, and were now sued on in that form. The chief points of defence were a counter claim fora breach of orders by the de- fendants below in not selling a consignment made to them by which the plaintiffs there were losers, aud the objection that the judgment sued upon was not a valid judgment, ‘The judgment was allowed to stand, and it is here insisted that the judgment was obtained without jurisdiction {n the Court rendering it, for want of proper authority to the attorney bringing the suit; and it is argued that this question of want of jurisdic- tion may always be interposed against a judgment when sought to be enforced, or when any benefit is claimed for it. The want of jurisdiction either of the subject matter or of the person renders the judgment a mere nullity, and that to show want of jurisdiction the recitalé in the judgment record may be contradicted, 8.

[From the Chicago Inter-Ocoan. } Thirty-four corporations, owning 5,278 miles of road, report to Mr. Cobb, bat only 3,314 miles of this road- way lie in the State of Michigan, Inthe four southern tiers of counties of the State there is an average of one mile of road to every 427 inhabitants, as against one mile of road in the State of Massachusetts to every 879 inhabitants, and 620 in the State of Connecticut, These thirty-four corporations have a paid-up capital of 38,850,373, and carry afunded and floating debt of 468,863, This debs has increased $7,654,239 or 6 14-100 per cent during the year, The total earnings were $45,809, 299—a decrease of $2,269,073 as compared with 187% But the operating expenses show a decrease of $3,018,236, The interest liability of the roads was | $10,004,400, of which $8,673,445 was paid and $2,231,044 defaulted, Eight companies, whose interest account amounted to $880,090, failed to report any part of it as paid. ‘The operating expenses and in- torest of twenty-three companies (more than two-thirds of the whole number) exceeded their gross earnings by $2,469,977, But the net suranga over operating ex- petises of all lines amount to $16,356,040, an increase over 1873 of $750,263, or 62-10 per con It appeai therefore, that the ‘thirty-four companies earned 1 1874 (net) 6 2-10 ent on’the cost of their roads, as represented by their paid up stock and debt, But, de- ducting interest demands, there was left only 451,649, or $ 2-10 per cent on paid up capital. This Bum, however, was not applied to the payment of divi- dends, Only one company—the Lake Shore and are Southern—paid a dividend, amounting to $1,061,011, a sam equal to 1 19-100 per cent on the paid ‘up capital of all the companies doing business in the State, This indeed, & disheartening exhibit for stockholders, There are in the service of the com- oy 22,575 persons, of whom 16,608 are employed in THE TEMECULA INDIANS. (Correspondeace of Sacramonte Record. Union. } A few years ago several gentlemen of San Francisce Dought the Temecula Ranch and partly stocked it with sheep, The title to the ranch is @ United States patent, A few families of Indians had been living on the best part of the ranch tor » long time. Theo owners, nat- urally desiring to have the use and profit of their own Property, commenced an action in the San Francisco Court and obtained a writ of ejectment, which was served by tho Sheriff of this county. Some of the In diane signed leases and were allowed to remain— the rent was merely nomimal—the object, of course, was @ recognition of title, Those | that refused to sign a lease were ejected—eighteen | famihes in all, Soon after the ejectinent: the Indiana, to the number of reveral hundred, gathered about Pala, and openly threatened to clean out all the whites | in that section of the country. ‘The settlers immedi- ately began to organize for defense. Whether the | prompt action of the settlers in their preparations had any effect In preventing an outbreak, of course cannot be known, Six yoars ago, about twonty families, acting under the advice of certain lawyers here, took up claims upon the Cajon Ranch, in this county, The boundaries | of said ranch were then undetermined. It was after- | ward surveyed, the survey approved and a patent | issued to the owners by the United States government. | And the said families were driven off to hunt some | other home. They wore destitute, of course, for the | lawyers had taken every cent they had to pay the ex- penses of defending their claims, As they wore white | American citizens and trying to earn a living for themselves and families, they were not entitled to any sympathy and got none.’ I can readily understand that lad they been go many lazy vagabond Indians instead of white industrious citizens, the case would have been very different, Of course we adiuit the generally accepted fact that the lowest grade of Indians are better than any grade of whites, We don’t know why this should be so, unless it is because that appears to be the wettied opinion ofthe government. There are cases of course that are pertectly plain. For instance, that poor, suffering chief, Oligatio, compelled to consult his 08 Angeles lawyers so often, and in this case thé hand of the Lord is apparept, for he makes destitution, grief and suffering very nutritious to Olegario, for Olegario is very fat and hearty, as are all his staff’ that accom- pany him on his frequent pilgrimages to the City of the Angels, And it would seem that the Lord had also raised up in that city to fight Olegario’s battles for him, for the pure love of humanity, Indian humanity in par: ticular, Poor, destitute, suffering Indians can’t have mouey, and in this case they must trustto the Lord, Now I have admitted all” that any modern humani- tarian can ask for in the way of Indian rights. Now I | propose to set up a modest claim for the white citizens ; of this county. First, that not one of the settlers of this county have been concerned in precipitating this Indian trouble, The immediate cause of the trouble was, as stated in the beginning, the efforts of the owners of the ranch to obtain possession of the property deeded to them by the United States. If this | property did not belong to the United States, but | belonged to the Indians, then the said Uiaited States has fairly beat the devil, for when be took the Saviour into a high mountain and showed him certain property, the devil only offered to give it on certain conditions, but the United States actually dveded this property. On the other hand, if the property belonged to the government to dispose of then it ought to be able to give the owners peaceable possession of the premises, As its private citizens do when they deed property. If it can’t do this, it should seli out to some parties who | can do ordinary business in a business like inanner, ‘The prime cause of the Temecula trouble is the stupid and criminal policy of the government in regard to ail Indian affairs, In this case it deeds certain lands to certain citizens, and then, through its agents, leads a | lot of Indians to believe ‘that they have rights in the | same property; and, of course, trouble ensues. There- | upon the people of’ San Diego county aro held up to ublic condemnation as oppressors of the poor Indians, The government has steadily instilled in the minds of | the Indians the idea that they are to live in idicness and be supported by the government; thus it has | brought about the state of aifairs that now exists, and is wholly responsible for the present condition of tho Indians, It has made them just what they are. Now, a few words about their suileriugs in this Temecula case, But few familics were ejected. Ail couid have romained upon signing a lease, with only nominal rent, Notice was given them one year ago, This talk about “cultivated fields’? and “fenced pas. | tures” js the silliest kind of nonsense, and exists only | in imagination. I have trayelled over the Temecula considerably ; have seen now and then perhaps haif an acre partly inclosed with stakes, within which inclosure might bo a small melon patch, but inmost cases no in- closure at all, And they are “industricus tillers of the soil” only when they are at work by the day or month for tho settlers about the county. “In most cases their dwellings were mere huts that could be constructed in | aday, These Indians aro not industrious when left to themselves. I'he same avenues of support arc open to them now as they ever have beon. ‘They have always obtained their living by working for the settlers since there have been settlers, and alarge per centof the stock owned by stockmen contributes to the support of | these destitute Indians, This avenue is still open. All | stuff about their suffering now any more than they have in the past is false; Indians “who repair to a largo town and take up their quarters in a public hostlery”” must be in a suffering condition, THE BRIDE OF DEATH. [From the Troy Whig.] Miss Blanche Cook, an estimable young lady, aged twenty-two years, daughter of the late Geor; Cook and sister-in-law of Officer Longstafl, of the Lansing- burg police, committed suicide at seven o'clock last evening by jumping into the river’ from the dock at James H. Adams’, near Nortn street, in that village. Miss Cook left the residence of her mother, corner of the avenue and North stroet, shortly after six o'clock, in company with alittle colored girl named Ida Peter- son, osteusibly to take a walk. They walked down North street to River, and up River to Market, when Miss Cook gave the littic girl a note, with instructions to go to Stryker’s store, at the corner of State and Mar- ket streets, and wait for balf an hour. If at the end of that time Miss Cook did not come, Ida was directed to take the note to Mrs. Longataff. She did not come and the girl delivered the note as directed. Miss Cook stated in the note that her life was a fail- ure, that she had no desire to live longer and that she intended to end her troubles in the river at the foot of Northe treet. Officer Lougstaff was immediately notified, | when he at once proceeded to the place indicated, and | after a brief search found a plaid eape worn by the de- ceased lying on a pile of wood on Mr. Adams’ dock. | Grapples were procured, and with the assistance of. neighbors the river in the vieinity was dragged until midnight, but no trace of the body was found. The young lady was to have been married at Christ- mas to Mr. Henry Walbridge, of Washington, D. C., but, | owing to illness of ner mother, had written a few days since to have the marriage postponed until Aprik Whether an unsatisfactory answer had been returned to her appeal, or whether illness, from which she had been suffering for the past two weeks, was the cause of un- | settling her reason, ts not known.’ It had been appar- ent for several days that she was laboring under great | mental depression, but no thought of her attempting | suicide had entered the minds of her friends, Miss Cook was an amiable, accomplished young lady, the j sole companion of @ widowed mother, who, with the other members of the family, will have the sincero | sympathy of the entire community in their affliction, LOUISIANA MEN, [Correspondence Boston Post.) ‘The truth is, the young men growing up in Louisiana, slavery no longer existing, are compelled to folow in- dustrial pursuits; while, at the same time, the old slave element is improying from year to year, and, as they are obliged to care for themselves and families, the froedmen are becoming industrious and good citizens, When this class is employed by the planters and paid punctually little fault is found with them as laborers, In fact, our labor system is becoming remunerative, both to employers and employed, and will eventually Jace our lands in as good, if not botter, position than betore the war. Having the richest soil in America, jelding with little labor most abundantly, the lands being cheap and well improved, no State {n the Union opens a fairer field for the emigrant from Europe or a better investment for 1 of citizens of our own country.

We learn that within the last two weeks a eingalar discovery has been mude at the house of Jesse Garth, for many years deceased, It is said that a distinct and accurate likeness of Mrs. Garth, who has been dead for twenty years, can be seen on a pane of glass in the upper sash of one of the windows, presenting very mueh the appearance of a photograph negative. ‘The discovery is said to have been made bya womat who was washing clothes in the yard, who imagined sume one was watching her through the window, and went inside to see who it was, We gather these facts from Dr, Charles Brown, who has himself seen the sine gular picture. Dr, Brown remembers that about twenty years ago Mr, Garth told him that his wife, while standing at that window, was stunned by a sud~ den flash of lightning, and the Doctor’s theory is that the outlines of her features were photegraphed on the window pane at that time.
