Se sethiaeg, THE COURTS. Payment of Its Next Dividend by the Western Union Telegraph Company. A CASE OF CURIOUS COMPLICATIONS. The Legal Fight To Be Re- sumed To-Day. BEATITUDES OF GOLDEN PAE US AES SILENCE, The temporary injunction recently granted by Judge | Donohue, enjoining the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany from paying its next dividend announced to be paid on the 16th inst., and bis appointmont of a referee to take testimony in tho case, bids fair to torm the basis of a lively legal wrangle in the courts. Already, in its very inception singes, the cuse is oecoming en- Veloped in interesting complications Hardiy pad Judge Donohue granted bis injunction when the Tele- graph Company npplicd to Judge Westbrook for an order to show caugo why the injunction should not be set aside and the order appointing a reteree be vacated. Alter looking at the papers Judge Westbrook promptly granted the application, on the ground o! irregularities and because the affidavit setting forth that such divi- dend was to be paid trom the capital and not trom the profits of the company, on which such order was granted, was insuilicient An argument was heard yesterday before Judge Westbrook, on a motion to vacate the order of Judge Donohue, requiring the treasurer of the company to be examined before a referce, Mr. J. M. Guileau appeared for the plaintift and Mr. Soren for the company. : Mr. Soren contended that there was no sudstan- tial basis for the injunction, and characterized the whole proceeding o8 a fishing expedition to get at all the facts regarding the management of tue telegraph company. He read a lengthy affidavit from Mr. R, H. Rochester, the treasurer of the com- pany, which, he insisted, showed couciusively that the Suit Wasa fishing enterprise and nothing more, This affidavit sete forth that on the Ist inst. Mr. Guileag, the plaintiff's counsel, presented to hun the skeleton of an flidavit, the blanks in which he desired him to dli up and then sign, He lurther avers that he could not have filled such blanks trom any book records or papers. tm his possession or under his contro, and tual the memoranda required “could only be compiled from materia: to be gathered from books and papers, records and various other sources of imturmation 1 the posses- sion of different and separate departments and oiticers pt the corporation."’ Mir, Guileau, im reply, urged that it would be necessary to examine noi only Mr. Roches- ter, but Mr, Van Every, the auditor, and Mr. Hunter, the supply ageut of the company, beiore they could argue the question as to wheter the mjuaction shouid be continued. It was the purpose of this examination to fill up the blanks im the affidavit, Hw contended tur- ther tbat 1 would be stterly unpossibie lor auy lawyer, even a Philadeipiia lawyer, to prepare an affidavit that on cross-examination would not require some modifica- tion, He wanted the treasurer of the company to give some specific statement as to the tinancul affuirs of this company, with a capitul of $41,000,000 and yearly receipts of $9,000,000. The company do not want the facts made known, Judge Westbrook said that the plaintiff was not remedylcss, He doubted the propriety, however, of giving the order as to the examination of witnesses, trom what had been said, although an examination of the papers might lead hitn to a different conclusion, Mr. Guiieau insisted further that ali that wos neces- sary to damn a motion was ‘o say it was a fishing ex- pedition. There was no fishing im this case. It w evident in bis own mind that the treasurer was pos sessed of all the iacts they sought to obtain He would as soon think of capturing one of the wires of the company as to get an employé of this zreat corpora- tion to tell its secrets with Une Consent of the company, ‘The statute, he thought, was plain in the case, Lt was importaut if they went on with this examination that they should begin at once, and the whole matier re- quired speedy action, as it only lacked a tew days of the tune Exed for paying the dividend, Mr. Soren coutended that they simply stuck to the text ol the statute. He saw no for the im- meuiate hurry claimed us if everything was wrong; the remedy Was just as good hercatter as now. te, he protested against any de had examined the papers ana fully investigated the pase. Judge Westbrook said be should certainly wish such examination, and asked the counsel to pass up their Papers and he would reserve his decision. Ho subse- quently granted (the motion vacating the order of Judge Donobue; first, because a man is pot vound to igu un afl, -it which bas vlanks in it, and, second, Decause if it appeared on tbe arguinent on tie injunc- tion that the iniormation required is absolutely neces- sry for the piainutf, the Court can give an order of refercu 1ARGE CLAIM AND SMALL ASSETS, Esther Krampf, a girl of twelve years, and a rest- dent in the vicinity of hester stroet, somewhere near Ludiow street, ielt aggrieved because of some language used toward her by Morrity Seelig, a youth of about bineteen or twenty years, and she, through a guardian ad litem, brought sui,in the Marine Court to recover 61,000 damages against Morrity. The latter was ac- cordingly arrested by the Sheriff on a civil warrant and committed to Ludlow Street Jail in default of bil. Belore Judge Geopp, in Charavers of the Court, a mo- tion was marle yesterday on behalf of the alleged youthiul slanderer, to vacate the order of his arrest, and in support thercot affidavits were read by his counsel, including defendant's. own, to tho eflect that the piainufl and not he, was the aggressor; that, unhappily tor him and for his personal dignity and peace of mind, he lived in the same bouse with ber; that he tould not pass in or out, but he was sure to be con- fronted somewhere in the building vy Esther, who would always avail berselt of tue occasion to twist ber mouth and nose quite out of the beautiful lines which were theirs while im repose.

Counsel for the prisoner contended that tre language, whatever it was, was used between tere children, was the result of every. day collisions between children and youths in tenement houses and had done no = harm touny one. Moreover, that according to the usual ractice of the Court in such cases, the defendant was eld under arrest principally because he wus charged with being a wanderer on the face of the earth and without any certain dweiling piace, Which charge he (counsel) prowounced untru t the circumstances disciosed in ihe ultidaviis on behal! of bis chent showed the probabilities to be tuat no damazes could be ov- bained agaiust him; that he was without means and anable to furnish bail, and to keep hit in jatl was to treat him with judicial cruelty. in order to complete his case, counse! for the prisoner then placed bis chent bn the stand to testify as to his wealth.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. DECISIONS. Wasutyetox, July 7, 1876. SPANISH GRANTS—TAE RULE IN DETERMINING AS TO CON- FLICTING CLAIMS —PRIORITY OF ORIGINAL CONCESSIONS, No. 185. Henry Miler et al, plaintiffs in error, va George W. Dale et al.—In error to the Supreme Court of street, | the State of California.—This is an action of ejectinent for the possession of certain real property situated in the county of Santa Clara, in the State of Calilornia, The plaintiffs assert ttle to the premises under a con- cession of the former government contira.ed by che tribunals of the United states, and an approved survey under the act of Congress of June 14, 1860, That act gives to au approved survey, upon a confirmed clauny the effect and validity of a patent, Some question ia made whetber this effect can be given to a survey ap- proved, like (he one here, simce the repeal of the acty noiwithstanding the reservation of jurisdiction in pend- | ing cases by the repealing clause, We do not deem it inaterial to detertuine the question, and for the purposes of this case #uall ‘consider that ihe plaintiifs stand belore the court upon a title as fully established as if supported by ‘a patent. fhe cc firmation under wich they claim was made vy tie Distriet Court of the United States in January, 155%, and the survey Was approved by that court in June, 1465, and ou uppeai by the Cireuit Cours in Septomber, 1866. The detendants assert title to the premises an- der 4 patent iesved Unou & Concession of the Mexican overument, confirmed vy the tribanals of t yf tates, the confirination dating i@ March, 1867, patent being issued in January, 186% The approved urvey of the plaintifs and the patent of the defend. ants both include the land in controversy. The ques- ion, tueretore, for consideration is which of the two litles gave the better right to the premises. The fol lowing syllabus will furnish tbe proper answer to this question and cover ail the poinis im- volved: In an action of ejectment plainvifl under a concess.on o! the former government, confirmed by the tribunals of the United States, any an approved survey uuder ihe act of Congress of June My, 1h and the defendant ander a paient of the United States issued upoo a similar contirmed conuces- sion—the inquiry of the Court must extend to the character of the original concessions to ascertain which Of she two titles gave the better right to the premises; and if these do not furnish the means for setting the controversy reference must be had to the proceedings before the tribunals and officers of the United States by Which the claims of the parties were determined. Where the original concessions tn such case without specilic boundaries, being Hoating grants for quantity, the one first located by an approved survey appropriated tne land embracel by the survey. i object of the proceeding before the tribunals of the United States for the approval of a survey of @ confirmed claim to land in roia under a Mexican or Spanish grant, pursuant to the act of Congress of June 14, 1860, was to insure conformity of the survey with the decree of confirmation, and not to settle any question of title against other claimants. The ap- Prova! of the Court establishes the fact that the survey Was 12 conformity with the decree of confirmation, or, if the decree was for quantity only, that the survey was authorized by it, and is conciu-ive as to the loc tion of the land against all floating grants Bot previously located, Affirmed.

Exceptions were duiy thed by the defenduuts to the ruling and iustruc- tion of the Court, and they sued oat the present writ of error. Enough appears iv the transcript to show that the plaintiils were partners, seeking employment us architects, and that the firm was represented in all the negotiations reported im the bill of exceptions by the junior member of the firm, ‘Testimony was given by hin at the trial tending to prove that tae plaintiffs, at the request of the defendants, had submitted pians to the latter jor a church edifice, in competition with other architects, for the examination and ehowe of those composiag the defendant corp: wus also ollered by the pluntitts, co: timony of the same witness, tending to prove conve: sations between him and the pastor of (he church nd of the acuion of the piainuits 10 cousequence thervof, | and they ulso offered nis testimony in evidence tend: ing to sbow statements and adinissions purporting to have been made by the pastor in reiation to the employment of the plaintfls by the defendant, as ar- chitects, at a special meeting of tho church, to all of | which the detendants objected, because no evidence had been given tending to show that the pastor was, 10 any sense, the agent of the defendants or that he had any authority to act for them in relation to the en ployment of the plaintiffs as architects. Responsive to that objection the plaintiffs stated to the Court that they expected to prove that the pastor acted in thetr behalf as the agent of the society and that the society acquiesced in his acts, and upen that understanding the oujection was overruled, the Court remarking that tho testimony would become taccrial ii the plaintitls should subsequently give evidence to prove the agency of the pastor at the lime of the interview with the business partuer of the platntifls when the plans were submitted of modified, and also at the social meeting of the society, when certain members of the Building Committee and many members of the society were proseut, Exceptions were taken by the detcndants to the rulings of the Court in admitting these several declarations and admissions, but the bill o/ exceptions shows to tbe satistuction of the Court that the evidence was admitted subject to the coi tion that the plaintifls should subsequently the party who made the declarations was the azent ot the society. No such evidence was afterward intro- duced by the plaintiffs, but the bill of exceptions also shows that the attention of the Court was not again cailed to the subject, and that the case was submitied to the jury on the hypothesis that it was not proved that the plaintiffs wero the architects of the society. It is said that the declaration of the pastor was not competent evidence unless it was proved that he wus the agent of the society, and that the declaration and admissions were made in respect to matiers within the scope of his agency, but it was not absolutely necessary that the proo: ot age sheuld be first introduced, While such is the rule and the better practice in ex- ceptional cases when the ends o! justice require 1t, it is competent for the presiding Judge to relax the rule and aliow the evidence to be given by either party in such order as in the exercise of a souad discretion he direct, Affirmed. Justice Clifford delivered the opinion.

Did boever feel a doubtY Did be ever sacriliee an op Wion or even a feeling, except that an ostentatious absence of belief woud make lim rather less weley we before in some quariers?” 1) 18 bo inquiry in these vol- wnes As to the main question at issue there is never HA momentary deubt, the author only leayimg une decided the details not worth decision on, No matter what the facts were t ‘© Was nothing pre- tornatural avout them, As there never hid b quiry it is not easy to say What inquiry there would be, at ieust of -a nature to occupy a long life bai that Deon grante., The gerin of that in olinite and really inGnite inquiry should have been found in the later portion of tis work, But itis quite evident that the two volumes of equal bulk do not correspond with the divisions of the design in the author’s mind. The first book was to deal mainly with beltel, or, as the author explains, with the variety of forms and propo sitious in which mankind bas invested religion. The second book was to deal with faith—that ts, the common feeling at the root of allthis. We do not, however, arrive at this division of the subjes way to the end of the second volume, when four chap: ters on “the religious sentiment iisely the ultimate elements, the oujective clemen the subjective elements aud their mutual relation,’? constitute bata dreary and unequal conclusion to a rather picturesque Journey through all peoples, places and times. ‘Th author finds it a labor of love to arr side all the peculiarities of national venet and eccentricities of traditional practice.

On the o when Jesus wie with unwashed hands Lord Amberley oharges Him with contempt for the prevalent proprieties of liie, with want of courtesy, abd nerdiessiy outraging the Teelings ot His bost, ‘and tually with an apparent rudeness which even the trath of Hos statemerts could not ex: cuse. U e conversation that ensued on the question, “Is it lawlul to give tribute to Ciwsur or not’? in wheh Lord Amberley sees povhing but honest iatentions, he charges Him with reasoning more fallacious than could ve inagined, with ridiculous contusion of Uhough!, and either a mere ver! or a transparent fallacy. In the answer to ducees in the supposed case of a woman with se successive husbands, the author sces either wiltat evasion or bad logic; aud as to the argument in ihe same passage Irom a future state, the Sudducees, he says, must bave been weak, indeed, if it couid weigh with them for « moment. Lord Amberley infers irom what he considers the unfair bias of the evangelists, even im reporting the iairest question, that Christ did not like His opinion to be elicited from Hin by tos method, feeling, perhaps, that it was hkely to expose His in:ellectual Weakness. He discerns, too, a grow: ing bitterness leading to gross inconsistency :— Prolacing that bis Beausiiui maxims about loving one’s eneuies, aud retuen- ing good tor evil, div not keep Him from reproaching the Pharisves on raany ocenasions, Untortuuateiy, © man's par- ticular enemies xrnjust those w hu scarcely ever appear to hin worthy of love, Wasevidentiy the case with Jesus and tHe men upon whom He poured (orth His denunciations. Judging by cis spenkinc, «@ should suppose that ali religions peovie that did not agree with Him were simply bypoeries. P So Jar from the Pharisees deserving all this or being worse than other people, Lord Amberley thinks they showed extraordinary patience, masimuch as no amount of provocation made tiem use force, till the icon sidered and unjustifiable act of expelling the money changers irom the court of the Temple, There was po exeuse for this, the author says ihe exchange and the other tratlic were necessary, the place convenient and the calling customary. and able to protect the sanctity of the Temple. author exclaims it for Him to stigmatize th ext” Plainly not. i of decorum, to passion “Lt the fur fhe Jews were wriling The m all indiscriminatet, had in tueir pred to however, were taken ty pun Throughout the trial of our Lord the author takes the side of His accusers aud judges. No doubt He was guilty of biasphemy, it is stated as a mater of course, and, by the Jewish law, ought to lave been stoned. The history of the Christian Churci shows, he says, that the accusers were right. Nor were they to be iamed, be says, for Onding Him guilty of blasphemy, and then sending Him to Pilate, on acharge of rebellion, for He was in fact guilty of beth, aud in the circum: stances the Jews were quite justiied iu regarding these as two aspects of the same offence.
