THE COURTS. The Motion to Confirm the Report of the Rapid Transit Commissioners. | oe Objections of Property Holders to | the Proposed Route, THE TRUANCY ACT IN COURT. | Balutary Warning to Sheriffs’ Deputies. Iu the Supreme Court, General Term, Chief Justice Davis and Judges Brady and Daniels being on the beneh, the whole of yesterday was occupied in listen- ing to arguments upon the motion to confirm the re- port of the Rapid Transit Commissioners. There was | & Jarge attendance in the court room, being made up tainly of property owners interested in the matter, Ex-Judges Kmott and Davies and Mr. A. J. Vander- poel moved the confirmation of the report, after which the argument followed, developing a pretty stroug op- position to the motion for confirmation. Before roach- ing the main motion, however, a preliminary motion was made by Mr, Jollift that a special order be made | excluding that portion of the report which refers to Ninety-second street, and thence up Eighth avenue, ow the ground that the presence of the Croton Aqueduct at Ninety-second street mado it undesirable that the rond should pass in that vicinity, Judge Emott said ho understood the objection to the steam railroad on Eighth avenue, above Central Park, came from prop- erty owners fronting the Park, who purchased the property to construct private residences, and the Com- Missioners yielded, and did not sanction a road vp Fighth avenue, so that the motion to strike out that Portion was not well made. Mr. John FE. Parsons, on behalt of the property holders, opposed the confirmation ef the report, con- tending that by the constitutional amendment of 1875 und the act under which these proceedings were taken, the property holders wore entitled to an appearanco pon the application for the appointment of commis- Sioners, more particalarly with reference to the pro- visions of the order of reference to the Commission- ers; that no such opportunity was given them, and for that reason the proceedings were invalid. ‘He also claimed that all the testimony before tho | Commissioners made it perfectly clear that the damage to property would infinitely out- weigh any public beneilt to be gained by this Structure, and also showed that the structure was uiterly inadequate to any suitable purposes of rapid | transit, and will so interiere with Third avenue as to destroy it as a thoronghfare; and inasmuch as the Gil bert Railroad is to go on Second avenue, and the present rapid transit road runs through Fourth avenue, that section of the city will be cut off from any thor: | oughiare, Mr. Parsons contended, further, that it a franchise of the enormous value which this company was trying to obtain was to be given, compensation should be made, if not to the property holders at whose expense the franchise was granted, at all events to the city. He insisted tnat the Commisstoners had given a shifting right to tho railroad com- puny to construct their road, either on tho sidewalk orin the street, and that that was no such election as the statute required, it. being a very im- portant consideration bearing on the question whether the road should bo builton the sidewalk or on the Breet. So far as concerned part of the route, the Commissioners had determined that the road ought not to be constructed; and, inasmuch as the sole question was whether the road as a whole should be built, the de- termination that it should not in part be constructed, operated, Mr. Parsons claimed, as an adverse decision by them. The Commissioners’ report showed that not only no due hearing was given to tho property holders, but it also made affidavit that they failed entirely to consider the only questions which shou!a really control their judgments; that is, whether this plan of rapid transit’ 1s feasible and de sirable, and whetber the Third avenue route was the Most snitable route for the purpose. Mr. Parsons med that it was the Mayor’s Commissioners who should locate and establish the route, and the act re- quired this to be done within sixty days, the consent of the property holders and the determination of the Supreme Court Commissioners to be obtained meai time, and as that time has gone by the proceedings were illegal. After an argument by Mr. Peckham, which followed precisely the same line as that taken by Mr.” Parsons, Judge Emott dressed the Court at some length. He the advantage of such a railroad to the city was ui questionable, while the injury to the property owners | speculative and exaggerated. Some of the prop- owners would be injured, but the property on the frogs streets would be immensely benetited. As to tho argument that the Commissioners should have done sertain things within sixty days, if that were strictly insisted upon the law would be impracticable, but if Mhat provision was merely directory then the Com- missioners might Just as Well have done what they did a year atter their appointment, There was not one dollar's worth of property to be taken or touched, and the Commissioners simply set the public advantage over against the injury to property owners, and de- tided accordingly. ndge Davies followed with a few observations to the Court, arging that the Commissioners acted pre- tisely as they were required to do, and carried out their instructions, They took affidavits, made per- sonal inspectiony got all the information "they could, end their action should be viewed asa verdictofa she same as the action of the Commissioners of FE mate and Assessment under the act of 1513, and ought dot to be set aside except it be shown that they decided against the overwhelming weight of evidence, or lated some rule of law, beither of which can be shown in this case, At the conclusion of the argument the Court took | tho papers, reserving its decision. THE WALKER DIVORCE SUIT. Tho divorce suit instituted by Dr. Walker against bis wife Eiiza Jane Walker, together with the cross-divorce i Suit and other suits growing out of the case, seem io be productive of illimitable motions, Before Judgo Van Brunt, holding Special Term of the Court of mon Pleas, no less than three motions were made b: Mr. John B. Perry, counsel for Mrs. Walker, all of which were opposed’ by Mr. G W. McAdam, who ap- peared tor Dr. Walker. THE TRUANCY ACT. ‘The case of the alfeged truant, Alfred C, Cameron, for whose appearance in court a writ of habeas corpus | was granted, came up betore Judge Donohue, in Supreme | Court, Chambers, yesterday. The boy was arrested | under the provisions of the Traancy act, passed by the Legislature in May, 1874. and committed on the oath of one William ©. Bradley, an agent of the Board of Ed- | acation, by a police magistrate to the House of Refy on Randaii’s Island. The facts developed before Judge Donohue by the attorneys for the petitioners, Messrs, Gibbs & Murphy, were that alfred C. fitteen years old and in no wise amenable to the pro- visions of the act in question, which applies only to children between the ages of eight and fourteen years, and tbat he was viok ly removed by a police officer from the bedroom of bis mother and taken to the place of imprisonment above mentioned. The counsel for the House of Refuge strenonsly insisted that the {m- prisonment of the alteged truant was entirely wivbin the statato. This position was, howover, held by Judge to be untenable and the prisoner was accord- | LESSON FOR DEPUTY SHERIFFS, A trial was concluded yesterday in Supreme Court, Circuit, beiore Judge Barrett, carrying with it a salu | lary lesson to deputy sheriffs in the matter of fees ” Edward S, Mellen, in 1874, recovered a judgment inthe | Marine Court for $548 44, and bis attorney issued exe- tution to the Sherif, who levied oo sufMfcient pr to satisiy the *ame tn part, and the sale realized $219 05." The Sheriff paid over to the attorney $165 only of this amount. The plainti® brought suit to re- cover the statutory penalty, atnounting te three times the amount of the difference between $165 and 219 08, Jess the legal fees of tho Sheritf, which were admitted to be but $991. The jury brought in a | verdict for plaintuT for $22 27, to whieh the Court added the statutory penalty of treble damages, amount. ing to $66 $1, which carries costs besides. Mr. J. H.

The estate of the late Judge McCunn has been the Subject of a good deal of vexatious Mtigation in tho | courts sivee the will devising it was first offered for probate, The will was contested at first vy persons claiming to be children of a haif brother of the de- ceased Judge, claim it was thrown out of court and the will was ad_ mitted to probate.

Mr. Moody announced last evening that the subject at noon to-day would be “Children,” and in the afternoon ‘*How to Study Your Bibie,” and he requested the people who came to bring their Bibles with them and pencil and paper. He spoke of “sudden conversion,’ and said ail that the people wanted was a personal Christ, not doetrine; that there was two much doc- trine in the world already. A man could be converted in # moment if he would just aceept Christ’s Word, just as Peter and Andrew and Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman, whom Christ met at the well, and Levi, the Publican, all of whom took the Word of God as Ile gave it, believed in Him and followea Him, respectable sinners and the unconverted ehurchm: le to talk to, because they will not bat hold Wore tie m- ; | This morning at eight o’clock ‘‘expeditionists’’ from tho Western Union Telegraph Company will go om board the tugboat William Orton at the Battery, which will take them across to Prentice's wharf, Brooklyn, where the telograph steamship Professor Morse, be- | longing to the International Ocean Telegraph Com- pany, awaits thom with steam up and ready to start | forthwith for Key West and Havana, No ladies are to be taken. Last evening a Hxepaup reporter called at | the office of the Western Union Company and learned tbat the party will consist of Mr. William Orton, Pres- | ident of the company; his son; Mr, Smults, his pri- | Yate secretary ; Dr. James Greene, son of the Vice Presi- | dept, Dr, Marvin Greeno; Mr, A. 8, Downer, manager of the New York olico; Sr. G."

Gavo, Mrs. McCunn’s brother-in-law, who in. a Gal codicil ts also nominated as one of the execu- tors. After tho admission of the will to probate Mr. Gano, who had collected the rents, &c, in Judge McCunn’s lifetime, continued to administer the affairs | Of the estate by permission of Mrs, McCunu and Mr. Thomas McCunn, At the end of about two years and | nine months there was an accounting, and since then Mrs. McCunn and the Judge's brother, Thomas, | have bad the affairs of the estate attended to by their agent. Within two weeks Mr, Gano has caused (hem to be served, however, with notice of an application on his part for the appomtment of a receiver, on the ground of ALLKGED MISMANAGEMENT BY THCKM. The papers upon which this application is based, it appears, allege that neither Thomas nor Mrs. McCunn knows how to manage the estate; that they have per- mitted the property in their care tb depreciate in value, vy the foreclosure of mortgages, and in various otber | ways; that Mrs. McCunn is under the fluence of | Thomas McCunn to the prejudice of her own interest and the interest of others concerned in the just ad- ministration of the ecatate, and that evils and abuses exist which the Courts may remedy by the appoint- | ment of a receiver. In answer to these allegations, | which the brother aud widow of the late Judge say | brought to divert from their proper channels the | revenues of the estate, grave charges of mismanage- | ment are alleged against Mr. Gano by the executor and | executrix, now defendants. They say thut since de- | Mr. Gano of the management of the property | y bave found that its income is equal to $42,500 an- | nually, but that during the whole time he conducted | its affairs they did not receive from bim over $10,000 | altogether. His accounting ‘to them, thay say, was altogether unsatisfactory, and they accuse him of gross improprieties. But. besides the alleged misman- | agement of the estate by him, Mrs, McCunn further | charges him with the appropriation of $10,000 in cash. The day before the Judge’s death, Mrs, McCunn says, | be handed her a rotl of money to put in the safo. She placed the sum uncounted in the sate, as directed. After the funeral, while Mr. ‘Gano was present, the sate was opened and the roll of money taken out by herself and Mr. Gano, Gano then counted it, she states, and told her that the amount was $10,000, and, telling her that he would put itin the bark for her, took the roll away with him, giving | her his L. 0. U. for it. A aay or two later he told her H he had deposited it in different banks in his own nam@ | for her, arfd that is the last sbe cver saw of it. This | amount was not included in the will. The house, which was lett: her unencumbered Mf her husband at the time of his death, she was advis by Mr. Gano to TO PREVENT THE FORECLOSURE of a mortgage for $6,000 on another of the houses lett by the testator, She says that no return has ever been made to her of this balance of $4,000. It is also alleged that in addition to the income of the | property Mr. Gano, while agent, collected $20,000 | on life insurance policies, so that his receipts during | the time of bis administration of the estate must have | reached considerably over $100,000, while the widuw and Thomas McCunu claim that he has only accounted, hecording to his own figures, for about $16,000 of this sum, The property embraced in the McCunn estate con- sists of the following houses and lots:—Ten houses Twenty-fourth street, between Fifth and Sixth ave- nues; three houses in Nineteenth street, between Fighth and Ninth avenues; four in Twenty-secona street, between Eighth ond Ninth avenues; two inthe same street, botween Ninth and Tenth avenues; onein Twenty-first street, between Seventh and ‘Eighth avenues; one, a stable, in Twenty-second street, be- tween Tenth’ and Eleventh avenges, and one in Twenty-third street, between Ninth and Tenth ave- nucs, and two lots 1m Twenty-second street, below Tenth avenue.

It consists of a four-fingered grappling iron, to which is attached twenty jathoms of chain. Tue chain will be attached to grappling ropes of four Strands, having a No, 10 wire in ¢ach strand, These ropes ate in lengths of 100 fathoms each, and will be shackled together by swivels to prevent any turns got- tng in the ropes from the motion of the water. ‘Th6 Protessor Morse has special apparatus on deck ying and grappling cables. She earries ten miles intermediate’? cable, larger than the ordinal ‘deep sea’’ cable. She bas also two miles of grappling rope of four strands, as above descri mile of buoy rope, of three rands, with Dooys; in addition to this, plenty of champagne is to be found on board, for cooling purposes in the tropics. The telegraph steamer was built on the Clydo, and her bottom 18 of steel, She Is of about 1,000 tons burden, and 1s commanded by Captain Thomas Stead, formerly of the Meggs and Vicksburg. The bottom, where the default in the cable exists off the coast of Cuba, is of coral, and terribly cutting for anything less hard’ than iron, It is also surmised that the destructive worm, the ‘toredo,”” which eats its way into the hardest wood with facility, may have been nibbling the cablo, Tho party expect to be back here in about tive weeks, REVOLUTIONARY NOTES.

To tux Epitor or tax Herauy:— ‘The Henao has an oditorial in its issue of the 22d which, under the above caption, has hit the nail on the head, Its staff correspondent, ‘Justice,”’ in its issue of the 19th, is probably responsible for the editorial conclusion. People of common sense begin now to See | the dritt of the staff agitators, and to appreciate the pretensions of the staff at their just value. It would be mauifestly far better, as the Henaxn says, for the naval service and the country if the so-called Staff officers had no rank whatever, except such titles of courtesy as may bo necessary to grade them with each other and give them the social position and pay towhich they are entitled, and of which no re- spectable line officer has ever thought of depriving them—many gross falsehoods to the contrary not- withstanding. The spirit which bas pervaded tho staff throughout this long and bitter struggle has been calculated to deprive them of the sympathies of even the most moderate men who comprehend the question atissuc, Their object is not the good of the navy nor the good of the country, but the possession of an ex- tra batton ortwo, @ strip of gold lace or so, or the addition of a title and command, which, signifying | nothing so far as their special duties are concerned, will confer on them nought but ridicule and merely destroy the value of the title without conferring any extra honor on them, while the command pretension | will demoralize the navy. A ‘captain’? doctor, engia- cer, paymaster, professor, chaplain. or constructor is the quintessence of absurdity. It is bad enough to have pay and medical directors with nothing to direct and pay and medical inspectors with nothing to in- spect. The absurdity of the thing is rendered tho more ap- parent when we see the ‘“captain-doctor” direct mg the compounding of blue pills and black draughts, ora “commander-doctor” inspecting the contents .of a medical chest. These worthy gentlemen may pite- | ously plead that positive rank is necessary to them to execute these duties, but the barnyard sense of the American people will discover the inherent humbug of the thing when once itis put fairly and squarely before them. The fact is, the line {s the navy, and the staf, after all (taken at its best), amere adjunct, which couid be dispensed with at any time by adopting the contract system largely in yogue at this tfme in the medical corps of the army. The hne officers alone form a special corps, a corps sui generis and trained from early boyhood for a fixed and well defined purpose, the duties of which render them more or less un@t for any vocation but the one Specially their own—to wit, to superintend the cou- struction of ships, guns and steam machinery and to handle and fight the saine so a8 to insure victory for | The doctor (if he is a good doctor) is a doctor everywhere, whether ashore or afloat, and is far more apt to be weil posted in his protession it taken for the cruise and Well paid for bis services than if lected from a corps of sinecurists who have no incen- e to advance in their profession, and practically, as arule, do not advance after the jast examination’ is held; while the same may be said of the engineer and the others, the paymaster being siroply socially a re- spectable bonded clerk or bookkeeper, Whu assumes the responsibility, while the real clerk, yeoman or writer periorms the actual duties of the office. it has been a very common thing for the staff and its friends to disparage the line ollicers and to stigma- tize them as aristocrats; whereas the actual truth is that, being ie gain from the Congressional districts throughout the country, there is no body of men in existent except the House of Representatives, 80 thoroughly representative of the American people, and therefore less aristocratic. The exactions of military government are not pleasant to civilians, and therefore the staff chale under its unavoidable and necessary re- straints and resent its restrictions by abusing those in authority over them and holding them up os military despots and aristocrats. The staff oflicers represent no principle whatever, are appointed from civil life through political or per sonal influence, mainly if not almost exclusively from Northern and Middle seaboard States, and in- bly enter the service as matured men and with bits non-military, !ormed and hard to get rid of. In y be said to stand in the same rela- the bishops are said to do in rela~ tion to the church—they are not necessary to its being, but merely to its well being. Hundreds of merchant ships sail the seas over without doctors or supercargoes the owners or crews are apparently for it, As for the engineers, good prac- tical *‘engine drivers” who are not ashamed of their. calling—whiech is an important and honorable one—are all that any service needs absolutely. These men should be warrant officers and well paid for their ser- vice in the engine and dre room. To dosign and construct engines and machinery !8 quite another aftair, needing talent and experience, and when our sot disant naval engineers have produced such results us whl command the respect and confidence of the com- munity 1 will be time for them to urge their pretensions in this direction. At this preseut speaking, though the navy is flooded with “engineers,” they are 1; most lamentable vocation as to results, Yet while the staff and its iri stigmatize the lin tocrats, they ore yet, with marvell ney, clamorous year after year betore Congress for the line titles and distinctive honors, But Mr, Jones is not “Captain” or “Commander” Jones because he, as Jones, has anything in him to warrant this special title, but because under the naval system it is his duty to command a ship of a certain rate or class, If, there- fore, Doctor, Engineer, Paymaster, Chaplain and Con- structor Smith dosire tho same titles they manifestly | desire something which is not necessary for the execu- tion of their dut/es—therefore honorary and perso. and virtually aristocratic in the sense with which they fling this epithet at the line. controversy is disgusting, and should be ended at once and forever. There aretwo waysto do 80. One 18 to adopt the contract system and appoint doc- tors, paymasters, engincers and cbapiains for the cruise, paying. them according to their talents and ca- pacity. This is the cheaper plan of the two. The sec- ond is to graduate all officers ex: Cy cots ig may ‘be appointed on the consract ) from the United ‘States Naval Academy, g each young man into that arm of the service for which the Board considers him best qualified. This is the West Point plan, and certainly works well, though the army engineers and ordnance officors come from the @ame class as the cav- alry and infastry mep, This will givo the navy areal stall, and not a sham one (afflicted with much proten- sion and little performance) such as we have now. Let naval engineers be ‘‘engineers” in the word, and Jet us havo a of practical ‘engine drivers” _ be. sides, who shall be warrant officers, and whose datie: under the one engineer atiached to each ship shall be to boss the firemen, oilers and coalheavers, use the dash pot and monkey wrench, and run the engines efficiently and well, The naval service was certainly relatively quite as efficient in the days of Hull, Decatur, Perry and M: donough, when doctors and pursers were simply doctors and pursers and assistant surgeons merely doctors’ mates. In those days these men were the intimate personal friends of the line officers or sea officers of the period, as may be readily seen by perus- ing any old memoir of the day. Doctors, pursers, lientenants and master commandants associated on terms of perfect social equality, and were friends Under the present detestable state of things their suc- cessors in the American navy are-fast verging on a period when they will bo bitter and reientless enemies, PAUL JONES, THE EXCISE BOARD, A committce of the liquor dealers’ organization, composed of Major Sauer, John Townsend and James Keenan, had aconferonce with Mayor Wickham yes- terday.
