eT ——————— OUR INPERIAL TRWTOR, | An Early Morning Tour} of the City. INSPECTION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. | Address of Welcome by the Citizens’ Committee. OFF FOR SAN FRANCISCO. Arrangements to Avoid Annoy- ance Along the Route. Ripe and ready for sight-seeing, the Emporor of Brazil was early astir ‘yesterday morning, His ma- | tutinal experience was not so delightful as was dou»t- Jess anticipate! The intention of His Majesty was to take a quiet observation of the metropolis prior to his | departure for San Francisco. Having that end in view | he stepped into a carriage in front of the Filth Avenue Hotel. He was accompanied by a few members of his suite, and the vehicle containing them started down ‘Twenty-third street, turming mto Sixth avenue, While the Emperor’s attention was being attracted to the | various features of interest on the way a heavily laden ice wagon came in collision with tho carriage, and damaged it so that the royal party had to alight and procure another. Far from being annoyed the Emperor Tegarded the circumstance in the mildest light. It | ‘was something nigh a serious accident, bat good temper, gentleness and a well {funded fellow feeling often un- ravel in graceful shape the entanglements of disagree- able situations, Ina glecful tone the Emperor simply | Femarked that the ice man had perhaps the right of “way, and that so long as nobody bad been hurt there | Was no reason to complain, A happier iMustration” of | the Empcror’s genial temperament could not well be given. The roya! party drove dew Broadway and re, turned to tho hotel skcifly before nine o’clock. _-f MUSICAL HONORS. It Pretty well understood that formality and epGmony were not in orderin regard to Dem Pedro. jut the Emperor was willing to be informed on every point of interest apportaining to the city, and when, | shortly before ten o'clock, he was informed that a deputation was in waiting, headed by Mayor Wickbam, to escort him to some of the public institutions, he promptly responded, and in his own genial way ex- pressed his desire to see the institutions, intimating, towever, that he was bound for Cahfornia by the tvening train, and that time alono might possibly in- ierfere with the programme which had been so kindly arranged, A distinguisbed party waited on the Em- peror, including Governor Tilden, Mayor Wickham, Mr, Witham Wood, President of the Board of Education ; Mr, Aloxander Agnew, Robert B, Roosevelt aud others Without any ceremony whatever the Emperor re- ceived his visitors, and, after chatting pleasantly in a tonversational way, entered the tirst carriage in wait. Ing, accompanied by Mayor Wickham. A large as- temblage had meanwhile congregated in the vicinity of | the hotel, and, although the imperial visitor mani- fested evory desire to be unnoticed by assuming arapid walk in approaching the carriage and appearing ignor- ant of the presence of curiosity seekers, he never- theless responded to the weil meant demonstrations made in his bebalf, and, quickly acknowledging the greeting of the spectators ussembied, he drove away. A VISIT TO THR SCHOOLS, All along the Emperor had frequently expressed a desire to see some of the New York schools, about which, he said, he had heard a great deal, In this re- &pect he was thoroughly gratified, and, although his experience was somewhat limited, he had a fair oppor. Junity to see something of our educational system, Phe carriages conveying the imperial party rolled ap in front of Grammar School No, 14, 1m Twenty-seventh Mireet, near Third avenue. The Emperor was de- hgbted. At every turn he was lavish of his praise, What with the display of the boys’ and giris’ depart- ments, to say nothing of the very satisfactory exhibi- tion in the primary school, the Emperor seemed to en- tertain a favorable idea of our educ; aystem, It Is only just to mention t womplete surprise to teach rs and scholars, and it was | ‘The only real poi at the imperial visit was a | therefore gratifying to know that good system | can at all times meet an emergency. The Emperor signed his name as a visitor to the three departinents of the school and subsequently pro- ceeded to the Normal College, with the arrangements of which he seemed highly pleased. Atter taking a eursory glimpse of a few of our public institutions the Emperor returned to his hotel, TUR CITIZENS’ WELCOME. Pursuant toa programme previously decided upon, ex-Goverpor Dix, William Cullen Bryant, William M. Evaris and other members of the commitiee recently behalf of the citizens of New York congregated at the hotel shortly alter three o’clock im the afternoon, when ex-Governor Dix delivered the following address:— Your Majesty—We have been depu ted by a commit tee consisting of the Mayor of New York and a numer- ous body of our fellow-eitizens to Ww ne you and your iperial consort to our shore: to tender to You the hospitalities of our city. We are advised that you have exp an aversion to any oilicial recep. lion; and we have no wish to intrude upon you with formalities which would be unacceptable. We regret to learn that it is your intention to depart this evening bat we trust that on your return you will allow the gentlemen whom ont to Con. duet you to such of our public in y be pleased to visit, and especially those connected with education and with scientific and literary pursuits, to Which we know that Your Majesty, amid the graver cares of state, has devoted awidvous aud an en- tened attention. The di eo in the form ot the vovernment of your vast empire that of our epublic, and in their characteristics of ciiua necessarily led to diversities in social, political and material development. While, therefore, much which is diverse tay fall under your observation, we think ‘ou will find under our popular institutions op the Hudcon, the Potomac and the Mississipp! the same earnest purpose as that witch your paternal govern- ment has shown on the Amazon and the La Pata to promote the happiness and the best interests Sf the people, Though distant, we bave not been iattentive observers of what Your’ Majesty has accomplished in carrying out this beneficent purpose. Anu when to this concurrence with us in regard to the great objects of government we add the act of emancipation, which has given lustre to your reigu, we feel assured that in tendering to you the expression of our sincere respect We speak the universal sentiment of our countrymen. To this address the Emperor replied :— I regret not being accustomed to make speechos, and especially in a language I do not know very well. But Tam able to say that the sentiments of my country toward yours are also mine, and I wil! avail myself of my visit to the United States to observe their pro- digious progress, and do the utmost possible to render it useful to Brazil In regard to what you say about - proceedings at home, | can only state that I di my jaty. The committee then withdrew, to permit His Majesty to enjoy a short period of rest prior to bis departure for California OPP FOR THE PACIFIC SLOP At twenty-five minutes after six o'clock the Emperor and his suite arrived as the Erie depot, m Jersey City. Not many more persons received the distinguished travellers than are usually to be seen in the waning rooms. It was soon known, on the coming jn of the ferry boat, that Dom Pedro was on board, and presently a crowd gathered in the neighborhood of the door leading to the platform of the depot A passageway was spoodily made, however, without the intervention of any oificials, and tbe imperial party, headed by the commanding figure of the Emperor bim- felt, quietly parsed along to the cars in waiting. He was closely foliowed Vy Viscount Bom Retiro, Arthur P. De Masido, Carl Henning, the Brazilian Minister, one attendant and two servants. Tho Emperor occu. pied o seat alone and passed tho wait. fng time im conversation with the Hxnavo correspondent who formed one of the party. The train Jeft the depot at twenty-five minutes past seven o'clock+ ‘The imperial party will occupy only one car, the Pull- man hotel car Metropolitan, whicn consists of an ante- room, a saloon with twenty berths and seats, a private stateroom, with closets, and at the extreme end a Kitehen, The fittings are elegantly contructed of roso- wood, black walnut and bird’s eye maple, all highly polished and chastely gikled. Beside the hotel car ‘Metropolitan the train consisted of a through sleeping car to Cincmnati, another for Clevelaud and one to Bingara Falis; then @ sleoping car for Buffalo and ezather for Rochester, and ahead of the Pullman cars | for advances, expenditures aud services was rece! | that itis unre: | from the outer apartment into an inner or private | | finishing up the busines: selected to tender the Emperor a hearty welcome in | fees0n for his persistency in opposing the payment of two Erie day coaches and a smoking car, with a special car having on board a company of United States troops for St. Louis, two baggage cars, a postal and ap ex- press car. The Emperor positively refused the offer of a special train which was tendered him by Mr. Staples, the depot master, The trip, if run right through without any lengthened stoppages, will be made in seven days, AT THE EMPEROR’ MRTM.

At the request of the Emperor of Brazil the steamer Nelhe Martin was detained until Sunday morning, that she might convey his despatches to Rio Janciro, ‘This steamer took out the largest cargo that has ever been cleared from this port to Brazil, Shv also had a full complement of passengers, and, by saihng Sunday was able to convey the Henanp of that day, which gave full particulars of the Emperor’s arrival, TOO SLOW FOR THE EMPEROR. Bostox, Aprit 17, 1876. A committee trom Fall River loft for New York to, night to invite Dom Pedro to visit the formor city, CHARLES O’CONOR. A REMARKABLE REPLY TO HIS MeMORIAL TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION—‘‘7#izyY HAVE TAKEN srg oieriag reply to remarks made by Mr. Charles O°’Conbr, in emt memorial to the Bar Association, were yesterday sent to the Henatp by Mr. Henry Sed- ley, brother-in-law to Mrs. Catharine N. Sinclair, formerly Mrs, Forrest;— To tax Eviron or THs HemaLD:— On the 26th of March last there appeared in the New York Jimes an article reterriug to Mr. Charles O’Conor aud the Forrest divorce case. On the 12th of April fol- lowing Mr, O’Conor made public a reply which, like the first article, has had wide circulation, Excepting her young nephews I am Mrs, Sincluir’s nearest living male connection. This, with others to be named here- , 18 the consideration that warrants the present ter. 1 saw the first artigle, it must be freely said, with surprise and regret. Its publication struck me, to say the least, a8 inopportune, It involved, in my view, & breach of discretion and good taste for reasons plain'to see, I should much profer to leave the matter Just hore without further comment, but Mr. O’Couor has made this impugsibie. He uses in his memoria: to the Bar Association the following words, to wit:—“As to tho article m question, I will say that nothing more vilely false than it is in its whole tenor and in all its details can well be tinagined; in nothing that 1s material to | auy inculpation of myself does it contain even the slightest color of truvb.’? T fear that by this sweeping state: en Mr. O°Conor has placed himself in a position from which not all the power or good will of the Bar Association can extricate Lim, Jn the first place, surprising as it may seem, who- supposed charge aud countercbarge, will take the pains carefully to compare the tirst Zimes articic with Mr. U'Covor’s reply will find that in many respects they wro substantially in agreement. The article reports Mrs. Sinclair as saying that Mr, O'Conor cee } 60 for trying her case. Mr. O’Conor more accu- rately puts it at $7,500. Mrs, Sinclair 13 reported to have said that Mr, O’Conor charged $2,500 tor subs quent services, Mr. O’Conor says precisely the sume thing. Mrs. Sinclair said interest was charged on | counsel fees. Mr. O’Conor adits this, and ndds thut in one instance the interest Was coin. pounded. In some points of detail the lady's memory seems to have been ut fault as regards figures, but Mr. O’Conor lays Do stress and need not on tis, (To make ttese matters clear I append to this lotter copies of the original bills of Mr. O’Conor and Mr, Chase, pow in my possession, and marked “Note A” and “Note B.”) It does not appeae, so far, that there ts any sound justification for Mr, O’Conor’s asser- tion “as to the article in question,’’ that NOTHING MORK VILELY PALSE than it 18 in its whole tenor and in all its details ean | woll be imagined."” Nor docs there appear any objec tion to Mrs, Sinclair's statement that it Was her unde’ standing that ber counsel took the case free, or that tor the trial or the alimony proceedings, or that Mr. Chase asked her to sign a ‘card for insertion in the Nsw York Hkxatp, to the efict that her lawyers were acting for her without charge. tof difference seems to be that Mr. Mrs. Sinclair or her friends never plus to be really the fact, and that tf necessity abso- id caiumuratory O’Copor insisis hove ah assumption on any side y untrue, as well as injurious | To this I must tke jeave to say that have known the | lady and her (amily for some twenty years, and thatin | all that time I never heard Mrs. Sinelair or’ her family express auy other supposition than that which Mr. | | Chase caused ber to publish, 1 do not presume to say jor a moment thac Mr, O’Conor ought not to have charged counsel fees, or to passany eriticism whatever on his action in that regard any further than this— jonable to say that neither Mrs, Sinclair nor any one else could possibly have supposed such a thing to be true, when it really was a matter of com- | mon report and when there was so much cireumstat tial evidence to uphold the supposition. It is true that | it was [requently reported that Mr. Forrest urged as a | the judgment bis conviction that when it should be | paid Mrs. Forrest's counsel would take all the money; bat neither that lady nor her friends ever for a mo- ment credited such a conjecture. | Tabail never torget the day on which Mrs, Sinclair | received Mr, U’Conor’s and Mr. Chase’s bills, Sho brought thom to my office in Nassau street, passing reom where I sat writing. That the tidings of the sums charged by her counsel came upon her like a thunderbolt was pitilully shown by what then hap- | pened. Mrs, Sinclair, asshe entered the room, burst juto a paroxysm of tears and exelaimed, “They have takeu nearly all (rom me, [ean never bold up my head or pay my debts or be mdependent aga. Oh, how shail [tell Annie!” (her sister, Mrs. Sedicy.) I had never geen Mrs. Sinclair weep before, save in the | presence of death, and 1 was deeply and painfully | moved. It was soon after this that I wrote the letter to Mr. O'Conor which be bas appended to his reply and anarked “NoterD,” and which when it was seut to him, I marked private.” The date on which Mrs, Sinclair came to my office with wT remember, the 12th or 13th of | nthe 14th of November Mrs, Sin- | cliir, aecoruing to Mr. O’Conor’s late statement, called | at his office in seareh of Mr, Chase, Mr. O'Conor, hav. | ing on the previous day or the day before received his ebeck for $38,850 71, THIS OCCASION BAW A PANORAMA, Pi words:—"About the 12th or 14th r, 1868, Mrs. Forrest called at my office ter about a minute, and inquired, without effect, whether 1 would infort her where t find Mr. Chast. Some- thing in her manner ind ‘ated that she was in trouble, The whole nineteen years of my relations with her passed before my mind on the instant in & panoraina, and, though I said nothing of the kind, I ‘then determined to act no further in any Unsiness for her’? Mr Nelson Chase, who Lad now received bis $15,075 32, soon alter Likewise saw & panorama, and with equal Teticence came to the same labor-saving conclusion, He could nowhere be tound, and although repeatedly asked so to do. beglected to nish up the necessary business of Mra Sinclair's law suit, ‘The total amount Just taken by thése two gentlemen, irrespective of the aliowance by the courts ot some thousan for counsel fees, no mentiqn of whiel appears in therr bills, was $54,826 05, bat their clieut then and there had to employ Mr. Richard H. Clarke, (designated, as bad been Mr. Chase, by Mr. O’Conor,) who charged and col- Jected from Mrs, Sinclair something over $500 more for and, Ido not doubt, honor ably earned the moncy. ‘(See note marked C.) Mrs Sinclair has no recoliection of sceing Mr. O’Conor on the day of the “panorama.” She only re- members seeing Mr. O'Conor's clerk. Mr. Nelson Chase of the original firm of Howland & Chase, was the recipient, it is shown, of $15,976 32 That is, this sum was paid at the Ume Mr, O'Conor got his $38,850 71, But some thousands of, doiiars paid by Mr, Forrest on orders of court for Mrs. Forrest's coun- sel are not mentioned im either or any ot their ac- counts. Noris there to be found any allusion to Me. Chuse's collection of regular percentages on her mony, to which, when it was paid, Mrs. Sinclar s ed.

Mr. O’Conor does not tell us that this Mr. Nelson Chase, who had already that day his Jatter fact; or perbaps Mr O’Conor thought that Mr, Chase had maguanimously refused to take his share, and intended thus to justify a prevalent public opinion, That the fact that Mr. O’Conor was just then conduct- ing for Mr. Chase the important and Iuerative, bat in some stages costly Jumel case, had any bearing on this transaction, we can only conjecture, Mr. O’Conor, further on, repels tho idea that it | would have~been right for him to have been supposed to act gratuitously for Mrs. Forrest. He says:—-‘T then thought, have always understood, aud w believe, that fora lawyer to ofler a wite who bad disagreed with her husband his voluntary aid in her litigations with him, and undertake to get her a divorce Kratuitously, would be infamous conduct,”” The obvious answer to this is that many very sood pelts, for many Years, in point of fact, did suppose tl Mr. O'Conor Was acting gratuitously for Mrs. Forrest; and, although I have beard him wartnly und continuously applauded for so doing, I never beard his conduct op that score spoken of with a word of blame, Still further, Mr. O’Conor inquires'—**What would have been said if it ‘was supposed that I, a bachelor ef forty-tive, had in- truded myself into this lady’s quarrel with her bus- band and volunteered to become UBER CHAMPION WITHOUT PEE OR REWARD??? If the views of Mr. OConor, as be clearly would con- vey, were the sume twenty-five yelrs ago as they are declared to be now, why was Mrs, Forrest asked at the former time by her counsel to sign the dratt of a letter for publication in widely circulated newspaper, uitirming in behalf ef her counsel precisely whut is thus stigmatized to be unworthy ? Why were her coun- sel 0 anxious to have one thing believed then, aud why are they so anxious to have another thing believed now! Surely, by the implication conveyed in bis last quoted sentence, Mr, O’Conor aoes himself injustice. Noteven Mr, Forrest would ever seriously have be- heved such an implication to be well founded. Mr, Pence reputation Was assuredly too well established for that, L have now to allude to what, were my own interests or feelings alone concerned, would certainly be passed over in silence. Mr, O’Conor 18 sometimes a little mysterious, but any one who reads his memomat yi see and own that directly or impjiediy’ he charges me—first, with prejudiciag dvs, Sinclair against her couusel and threassting her with what would be in piness if she presumed, when he was assailed, to de- yethd him; second, with writing bim aa iudecorous or improper letter setting forth tis client’s needs and position; and third, with falsehood, inasmuch as in that letter I untruly represented that “supplementary roceedings”’ hal been taken or menaced against Mrs, Ei ir, with the further implication that I used the untraih as a basis for attempting to extort from Mr. O’Conor some improper or unjust concession. To each and allot these charges I must interpose a respectiu! but absolute and unqualified denial. 1 knew pretty well before the sorce of the maxim “Qui stezcuse s’aceuse,”’ and Mr. O’Conor has lately emphasized it sharply in my mind. Butthe occasion demands a few peed personal justification, which shall be gotten over as fast us possible. Mrs. Sinclair, being Mrs. Sed- Jey’s eldest sister, has been an inmate of my family for many years. The latter, ou her deathbed, asked my promise that the household should not, on her d | parture, be broken Up, and that I should be the same | imend and defender of ‘her sister that I had long been | before. made in the house the arrangement was still con- tinned with the affectionate assent of all concerned, | I have never, by any possible construction, exerted, or | Sought to exert, the influence with my sister-in-law that Mr. O’Conor would convey. With regard to my letter to himself, | must say that tt was meant to be so. AS Mrs. Sinclair’s nearest living male connection, I certainly felt myself at liberty to address Mr, O’Conor in this fasmon, The letter is in no sense an intrusive | Cue. I was, through my wife, a loser of $15,000 by | what had been done, and the allegation as to tts mina- | tory character is purely fanciful, Mr, O’Conor lays | stress on my statement that ‘supplementary procecd- | ings were threatened by somo of Mrs, Sinclair's cred- | jtors.” He says, “No supplementary proceedings or | the like were ever instituted, and it may be proper to | add that, as I was not picased with Mr, Sedley’s inter- | position, I declined to conter with hun.” Tam sorry | for Mr, O’Conor’s sake to say that here again his mem- ory is at fault, ‘The official papers in all of the proceedings referred to in my letter to Mr, 0’Conor, marked “‘private”? by me and published by tim in bis memorial, including in two of the cases assignments of judgments, &c., and in all respects confirmatory of my asseruions, lie on the desk beside me while this letter is written, The document marked “Note D),” hereunto appended, is the original, and its date and charactor are Mr, O’Conor’s conclusive refutation. But there was laintif! and defendant were respectively William Henry Anthon and W. Farley Gray. The sum involved was some $4,000. Mrs, Sinclair was interrogated in Mr. Chase had done, and on hearing this the opposing counsel, MR, ANTHON, COVERED HIS PACK WITH 19, HAyDS and sat some time in silence, Mr, O’Conor remarks that he declined to confer with | me. 1 never asked him fora conference, My letter | will not bear that construction, But Mr, O?’Cgnor an- | swered it, saying, in his reply, thathe saw no reason | why the tacts I mentioned should have been communi- cated to him, It is plain that he wisbed to know nothing about them, My letier made it clear to Mr, O'Conor, knowing what bis own bill had been, what amount must have remained in the hands of Sir, Chase. Yet, | in his memorial, Mr. ©’Conor observes of Mr, Chase:— | “Inever had any but the most trifling and casual | | knowledge of his pecuniary dealings with Mra, Forrest | until the present month, April, 1576," a statement which is readered more remarkable by the facttbat on iny keeping, the same handwriting appears, and that ; the lines of receipt at the end of Mr. O’Conor‘s ar written, not the signature alone, but m full, by Mr, O’Conor’s own hand. As further confirmatory of what bas been heretofore said relative to the proceedings of Mrs. Sinclair's cred- j iters, who were astonished and aggrieved by her ina- | bility to pay them afver the settlement of the judgment, L have to say that Mr. James B, Taylor wrote u strong letter on the subject, respecting which I sent an ex- planatory note to Mr. Nelson Chase in March, 1869, About the same time Mrs, Stnelair despatched a note to the same gentieman, inclosing Mr. Taylor's letter, Mr, Nelson Chase replied to Mrs. Sinclair by a letter, which is hereunto annexed, marked “Note E.”’ Mr. Chase, like Mr. O’Conor, did not see any reason why the tacts named should be brought before his attention, It will be scen from Mr, Chase’s letter that when it was writ ten four months bad elapsed since the payment of the Judgment in November, 1868, After that Mr. Chase ab- solutely and entirely negiocted Mrs. Sinciair’s business, thereby subjecting ber to cruel persecution and annoy- ance, and obliging her to employ another lawyer, Mrs. Sinclair has nevor said or wished to be under- stood as saying that Mr, O'Conor had made any state- ment whatever, in his memorial or otherwise, that she desired to contradict in the newspapers, She bas said that she thought Mr. O'Conor was, m some in+ stances, mistaken; that she deeply regretted the whole melancholy controversy ; that sic had aiways felt, and still felt, the deepest gratitude toward Mr. O’Conor, and that, if compelled to testify before any tribunal, while she must, of course, adhere strictly to wath, it was her earnest wish that Mr. O'Conor should in the end, in all material respects, be exonerated. In brief. | that if any blame rightly attaches to him, she will not volunt.-rily be made the mstrament to affix it I think it’ right to add to these siatements, for Teasons that Mr. O'Conor and his friends may under- | stand, that 1 have never up to the opening of this con- | trovefsy through bis memorial to the Bar Association | written or prompted one line against that gentleman for publication or sought in any todo him injus- tice.

A REMARKABLE CASE. Yesterday, in Judge Gtidersleeve’s court, Jobn Si- mons withdrew a charge of felonious assault made by him against William Duggan on March 13. The pris- oner, Duggan, found the complainant, Simons, en- gaged in the ennobling sport of kicking an un- married woman, named Mary Jane Sherlock, Duggan gave Simons a very-severe beating and was committed for trial, Simons being held in the House of Detention as witness, Curiou ough, the isoner, Duggan, never thought of tellin, uy he had en Simons so severcly. To-day the caso was called and the charge withdrawn. After Simons had been congratulated by his friends on his discharge from the House of Detention Captain Williams waiked up to him and said, ‘Clancy, 1 want you"? “What for??? “For murd “ts alla put up job,’ said Clancy, alias Simons, Tho story is very briely told. The injured woman was taken til and removed to Charity Hospital, where she was delivered of a dead child. The doctor, upen learning the circumstances of the case, refused a’ death certificate, and reterred the case to Coroner Woltman, who committed Clancy to ¥ he Tombs without bail to await the action of the Grand lury. LOST OR STOLEN BONDS. For a long time it has been whispered fn Wall street circles that a large amount of Union Pacific and United States government vonds, belonging to and figuring in the assets of the company were mislaid, lost or stolen. By some amount involved was placed at $1,000,000, but latterly the figures were given with greater ex- actitude, viz., $247,000 of the First Mortgage Union Pacific bonds, and $110,000 United States six per cents, A Washington lawyer about two years since made a proposition through one of the directors to dis- cover the missing property, and te compel its restora- tion by parties illegally holding the same. The com- pany’s loss, it is said, was incurred during the removal of the safes and property from New York to Boston during the famous Fisk suits and in the confusion which followed the removal of the company’s offices to A Hgratp roporter yesterday called at the office of the Union Pacitic Rattroad, No, 25 Nassau street, to seo the president, Mr. Sidney Dillon, in regard ‘to Ul Mr, Dillon had not returned from Washington—whither he bad | gone on some business connected with the company— | Mr. Ham, of Ham _ Brothers Co., | whose name bad been mengioned in connection with the missing bonds, consented to tell all be knew about the matser for the benefit of the readers of the HeRaLp, | He said:—“This is not the company’s side of the story. Undoubtedly there are some mining bonds, and it is not certain where they are at present. Mr. Spence was a former bookkeeper of the Union Pacific Railroad, and it is under his direction and by his tnstigation that this scandal has been set afloat. A short time since ft was roposed by the company that the whole matter should referred to some fair, outside lawyer entireiy dis- — connected with the company or the parties pursuing the investigation, in order to arrive at some determina tion ta regard to) the wheteabouts of the missing prop- | erty. This was refused by the investigators. Now Mr. Spence and his lawyers aro working up the case in order to receive a commission on the amount recovered and not from any public spirived reasons.

The Injunction Against the New York Elevated Railroad. Important Decision by Chief Justice Daly. ‘When Judge Van Brunt granted a temporary injunc- tion against the Elevated Railroad restraining it from constructing a turnout and excavating for that purpose the vault in front of the Pacific Hotel in Greenwich street, such injunction naving been obtained through application on behalf of Mr, John Patten, the owner of ‘the hotel, an incipient riot, which seemed imminent, Was effectually nipped in the bud. An important ques- tion, of course, was whether this injunction would be sustained. Afewdays sinco the case-eame up for argument before Chief Justice Daly in Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, A decision in the matter ‘was given yesterday continuing the injunction. Judge Daly has written a lengtby opinion, but the material points are embodied in the epitomization of it given below. Judge Daly opens his opinion with reciting the facts of the case, as heretofore published, He thon traces the title to the land on which the Pacific Hotel is situ- ated to 1743, when the same was owned by Derrick Dey, with particular reference to plaintiffs right of property in the vault, and then shows that the right to the use of such vault cannot be taken away or in- tertered with, except by ‘law, “Ho compensation the plaintiff; shat the latter ts eftitled to the injunc- tion asked for, Having settled the preliminary pointhe next discussed the question whether the railroad com- pany bave any right to construct the turnout in qu tion. In this connection he cites the act under wh: what was known ‘The West Side and Yonkers Pat- ent Ratiroad Compauy’’ was incorporated in 1867, the progress of experiments made under such act and the various supplementary acts, and finally, the act under which the present company was incorporated, giving increased privileges and franchises to the prea- ent compuny, which had acquired by purchase under a mortgage foreclosure and sale and other transfers ail the rights, powers, Pabde ey an and franchises of tho original company. He claims, ‘however, that the pres- | ent corporation attempted to_ avail itself of its alleged right under the act of June 17, 1875, in direct disregard of the important provision in the amended constitution ‘of 1875, which took effect oo the Ist of January of that | ear. From this poiut the opinion proceeds as fol- | yws:—The seventecuth section of article 3 of the | amended ccnstitution declares that ‘no act shall be passed which shall provide that any existing law or any part thereof shall be made or deemed a part of said act or which shall enact that any existing Jaw, or any part thereof, shall be applicable except by inserting it in such act.” Now, this act.of 1876 declares, in general terms, that the present corporation is confirmed in the session and enjoyment of the rights, powers, privi- jeges and franchises conferred upn the former corpo- ration by the acts of 1867 and 1868 as fully and at as they were granted by the afuresaid acts, It authorized the present corporation to con- struct and complete one track with turnouts to side tracks of its elevated railroad within flve years, along and over the streets and places “‘specitied and permitted in the aforementioned acts, in the mode, manner and jorm prescribed by said acts.” Here these acts, or many parts of them, are made applicable without in- serting the laws or the parts made applicable, as the amendea constitution requires. The parts of the pre- vious laws conterring the rights, powers, privileges and franchises referred to and the parts specifying tho streets and places along and over which a railroad was permitted by these acts to be constructed, und pre. scribing the mode, manner and form ot it, are not in. serted. In other words, an attempt is made by this | enactment to make important revisions of these ucts | applicable without inserting them, which the amended | constitution declares cannot be done, and all the lezis jation, there/ore, was unconstitutional and void. T power to construet the turnout, which the defendant are about to build in front of the plaintill’s hotel, and, indeed, their whole authority to consiructa railroad in Greenwich street or in avy other street of the city, rests entirely ‘upon these provisions in the act of 1875, provisions enacted in direct violation of the prohibition in the amended constitution, and there- | fore wholly void. There isan tmplicd recognition of the defendant's right to build and extend the road | along Greenwich street and Ninth avenue to Har. | lem contaiued im the prohibition of the seventh sco. | tion of this act of 1875, which declares that they shall not build or extend their road along any other streets or avenues. But this was meant to be and necessarily must be taken in connection with the previous aflirm- tive provision enacted to confer the power upon the lefendants to build and extend the road over and aloug Greenwich strect and Ninth avenue, and if that affirmative provision ts void because it was enacted in 8 mode forbidden by the constitution, this implied rec- ognition, which is not an active clause or grant, will not, in my jedgment, suffice to confer the power. I teel the’ importance ‘of the — constitutionality — of these acts and am fully impressed with what has been urged upon the argument—the great benefit to the public of tais road as a means of rapid transit. But the plaintiff has brought before the courts not only the question of the rights of the defendants to enter upon his vaalt, but their right to build any turnout at all in front of his hotel, upon the ground that that por- | Vion of the act of the Legislature which is re- hed upon as comprising authority to do so is uvconsti- | tutional and void. The preliminary injanction granted by Judge Van Brunt restrains the deiendants trom doing either, and, after a careful examination of the question, 1 can come to no other conclusion than that the defendants have no right to Iintertere with the | piaintift’s vault and derive no authority whatever from the act in question to construct the turnout in front of his premises. The preliminary injunction must there- fore be maintained and made permanent. DEATH THROUGH NEGLIGENCE. An important question touching the constraction of ho law giving damages tor death by negligence was argued yesterday before Chiof Justico Daly at Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas. In September, 1872, Joseph Wood, an employé of Willams & Guion, was accidentally killed on board of one of their steam- ors, while sho was taking in cargo, by reason of the | hoisting apparatus becoming detached and falling upon him. Suit was brought by the widow of the deceased bape the steamship company for $5,000 damages. The defendants, iu thoir picadings to the complaint, set up, as a bar, that the action should have been, Drought within two years from the time of the death of Joseph Wood, and Mr, Nash, their counsel, main- tained that the statute as last amended in 1870 ox- | rossiy limits, as did the two prior statutes of 1h4/ aud Taso, the right to bring: the action within two years | jer tho death of the party. To this plea the plaintit entered a demurrer, claiming that the fimitation in question expressly provided by the laws of 1547 and 1849, ‘was repealed by implication by the act of 187. Mr. further argued that the Legisiature had, by their enactment of 1870, so altered the law that the hmitation therein applied only to the right to recover interest on the verdict where the suit is brought within two years, and that the special limitation contained in the Laws of 1847 and 1849 having thus been repealed, the general statute of Iimitations governing ‘‘actions upon a Liability created | by statuto other than a penalty or forfeiture” applied tothis case so far as to the time within which the ac- tion should be brought—namely, six years after the | | right of action accrued. Judge Daly ratimated that the question of the con- | struction was a close one, and as there had been no re- ported adjudication of 1t as yet in the courts he would take the briefs of counsel aud reserve his decision. As the parties seom disposed to settle the question defin- | itively the ease will probably go to the Court of Appeals before the litigation is ended. THE SAFE BURGLARY. | Mr. Thomas P. Somerville, a lawyer, of this city, | arrested on Saturday evening last on the charge of | having been concerned in the “safe burglary” in ‘Washington and allowed to go on his own recog. | nizance, appeared yesterday, before the United States | Commissioner and was discharged. He was, however, immediately rearrested on a fresh warragt on | ‘an affidavit made by Assistant District Attorney Fos- | ter, setting forth that he has been madicted in the Su- | prome Court of the District of Colambia for having | aided m the robbery of District Attorney Harrington’ office on April 17, 1874, Mr. Somervilio was sub. — naed before the Judiciary Committee of the House | of Representatives, and was in Washington last week, | Nd himsed! in | ram, He did not, however, lead his privilege, but submitted to arrest and gave il in $4,000 before Judge Biatchtord.
