8 THE COURTS. The Immunities of Chu _Corporations. : rch | | | Important Decision by the | Court of Appeal The Court of Appeals bas just decide! a caso which affects the property of religious and other corporations situated in this city, and involves # large sum of money, probably over $1,000,000, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Rov. Dr. J, Tattle Smith, was assessed for paving Seventy-fourth street, and the cesment Was contested by Mr. Elliot Sandford, counsel for the church, on the ground Etatod im tho opinion of Judge Folger given below, The case was argued at Special Term, before Justice Lawrence, Who granted an order to vacate the assess. ment, Appeal was taken by the city to the eral Term, in this and two other church cases, and the General Term reversed Judge Lawrence in an opinion logality of the written by » Daniels and concurred in by Judges Davis and Brady. An appeal was then taken by the cburch to tho Court of Appeals, when that Court reversed the General Term and | affirmed the er oof Judge Lawrence, The | foliowing 1# the opinion of the Court, which | was delivered by Judge Folger:—“The appellant con- cedes and it may be assumed that !is property was not by any ex law exempt from anas- | gessme It the | ing the assessment upon that property accordance with taw the appellant may not Whether ftwasor not de , in the first 68 provision of tof the nature of the one in question, manner of was in escape, place, upon which party to the controversy has the | ubstanuial ailirmative upon it If the appellant is re | quired to establish that the city has excveded the limit | ot one-half the valuation placed upon ite property by | i the officers authorized to make valuation the appellant §s unable to do so, for where no made any Sum assessed cannot in strictness be said tw excved ouv-haif of the Valuation made, But the substantial ailirmative is not upou the appellant It is rule that the munteipality which seeks to affect the | property within ils jurisdiction by taxation or proce Ing tn the nature thereof must produce express pow therefor in legislative enactment, aud must show that i) its attempt to tax it bas strioily followed all the | legal requirements.

[tis a power given with a proviso annexed. he dewand of | the proviso wust be uusweredas a prerequisite to a | legitumate exercise of the power. The city is unable to show that demand answered, forthe reason that the facts dv not exist by which the extent of the demand may be measured. “The respondent claims that it de not appear that tero was not a valuation before the teria ol five years before the trial But it bas not proven that there was, Ibis apparent that the case proceeded upon the tacit assumption that there had never been a Valuation put upon the lots by the ward assesso by their successors.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. DECISIONS. JURISDICTION—ADVBRSE POSSESRION—TRUK TITLE- KRAL QUBSTIONS, No, 543, Isabella McManus, Admuinistratrix, ve. G. D, O'Sullivan, et al, —In error to the Supreme Court of California,—Terence B, McManus, under whom the pluintif claims, entered into the possession of the premises in controversy in 1854, or thereabouls He continued his possession anti bis death, tn 1861, at or about which time the detendants entered and held ad- versely to his estate until the commencement of this action, in Angust, 1867, At the time McManus en- tered, and ail the time ke was in possessiun, the city of Sun Francisco was asserting title to tbe property under a Mexican Pueblo right, before the commission ap- pointed under the act of Congress providing for the settiement of private land clams im Californi aud betere the courts upon appeal, A decree Ww rendered in favor of the city by the Circult Court of the United States, May 16, 1865, From this decree an appeal was taken to this court, Pending action an act was passed March 8, 188, entitled “An act to acquire the title to certain lands within the corporate limits of the city of San Francisco,” 14 Stat, 4 Upon the passage of this act the appeal pending in this court dismissed, McManus and hif representatives do not pretend to connect themselves with the city title by any actual grant. The extent of their claim is that their posses- ion Was evidence of their connection with the trac title, which was at that time the city title, Neither ¢o the defendants assert any claim under the true title ‘Their only defence 's possession adverse to the estace of McManus, but admitted to be not adverse to the city. Against this the piniotiff insists that, asthe de- fendants did not ¢laim adversely to all the world their possession advers@gp him could uot defeat bis right of action, : Thus it will be seen that two questions were properly presented to the Supreme Court of California for ad- Judication, to wi Firsi—Does possession necessarily connect itself | with the true title inthe absence of proo! to the con- trary? And Second—Is possession, within the meaning of the statute of limitatics in California, adverso to one who crating title, if it is pot also adverse to all the world? If these questions were decided against the plaintiff no federal question could be involved. The record, without the opinion of the Court, shows that they were presented and does not show that any federal question was decided. Under such circumstances it ts proper, if itean be at any time, to look to the opinion of the D- Court, which has ‘been sent here with tho record, to ascertain whether, in point of fact, ‘the Court necessarily passed by the intermediate questions, and actually did decide as to the eflect of the Pueblo right end the treaty, with the accompanying acts of Congress, upon the title of the plainull, Looking to that we flud the Court did de- cide (hat possession did no! carry with {t the presump- tion that the plainitf did hold under the city Utle, and that Uf the possession of the defendants was adverse to the plaimtiff it was a bar to his right of action, even though 1t was not adverse to all the world, These are questions Within the exclusive jurisdiction of the State courts, and not subject in any manner to our re-exam- ination. Thoir decision against the plaintiff made it unnecessary to consider (he proposed lederal question, ‘Thus it is soon that tue federal question was, not decided, and that in the view the Court below took of the case Buch a decision Was not necessary. Writ dismissed. The Chief Jurtice delivered the opinion.

THE REVIVAL OF TRADE Brighter Prospects Indicated for Retail Dry Goods Dealers. WHAT PROMINENT FIRMS SAY, Busy Scenes in Our Great Thoroughfares. RESUMPTION OF TRADE. ° Yesterday Hxraxp readers were apprised of the healthy condition of the wholesale dry goods trade of few York. Importers, jobbers, manufacturers and auctioneers gave their testimony in regard to the re, vival of trade, and in doing so generally expressed the opinion that the present activity in the wholesale markets was the precursor of a better condition of things throughout tbe whole country, one gentleman, whose sagacity in bus! circles Is unquestioned, ex- pressing the opinion that the ‘improvement would be permanent one.” In order to ascertain if this cheer- ful state of affairs was reflected in retail dry goods circles a HeRatp reporter made a tour of the principal thoroughfares devoted to the retail business, the result of which is herewith given, CANAL STREET HOUSES formerly engaged in a smal! way of business have now either removed or gone into importing and Jobbing, This street, which formerly in the forenoon was filled with ladies shopping, 1s now deserted by fair pur- chasers, and, instead, the sidewalka are encum- bered with boxes and bales, and warehouse trucks havo taken the placo of “my lady’s carriage.” West of Broadway the street is generally occupied with millinery and bair goods jobbera, Ar- nold & Constable baye a wholesale bouse on the north side, andon the south side are importers of laces, white goods, embroideries, && Canal street on the east of Broadway is occupied by furniture, paper box and clothing dealers, so that the reporter reached GRAND STRERT before the proper representatives of the middle class of New York morchants was found. West of the Bowery the shops are petty, and are generally oo cupied by small grocers, tea dealers, paper box, lantern and sewing machine traders, but east of the old Bow- ery the shops are more protentious. Crowds of pe- destrians jostle each other on the sidewat!ks, and signs of an active retail business meet the eye everywhere. Strips of carpet hang from the awning posts like flaunting banners; hoop skirts, that look like cages for strange birds; caps, linen gowns, shoes, blankets and colored cloths wave in the wind as ona fete day In Venice, Groups of pretty giris—the grisettes of New York—pass and repass, and by their tasteful dress and fresh, piquant beauty lend a charm and variety to the scene, AT WALLER & M’SORLEY’S, No, 245 Grand strect, the reporter was told that the business thus far had been ail that eould be desired, and fully falfiiled their hopeful anticipations. They have received a large amount of suburban custom, people from Morristown, N. J., and all along the line of the Erie Railway patronizing Grand street and this house liberally. They are dealers in general dry goods and manulacturers of cioaks and suits. The genoral run of trade had so far been on a cheap line of goods— domestics—people who in past times bought dress silks confining themselves to cheaper materials. It was, therefore, evident thata very healthy spirit of economy bad been inaugurated, and this in itself should inspire confidence in a bewer state of things. Their trade was strictly cash; in fact the trade on the street waa generally undorstood to be cash, They imported only special lines of goods, but according to the present out. Jook, and the growing excellence of our home manu- facture they would decrease rather than incréase their importations, Although |t was the hour of noon ‘this store was doing a lively trade, yet Mr. Wailer said;— “The bulk of our business is done after two o'clock. We close at soven o'clock every evening, except Satur- days, when we keep open until nine. I will say, in con- firmation of the obeerful tone of the wholesale dry goods market, which I reed with pleasure tp the HxnaLp this morning, that our trade within the past month hag increased over thirty per cent beyond iast year, although in July it was five per cent being.” “ bs FIELDS, Nos. 249, 251 and 253 Grand street, was next visited. Mr. D, E. Marsball, the manager of this establishment, told the reporter that this fail’s business went far be- youd their expectations He said:—**The sales of ao- Lic dress goods exceed greatly those of just year; there are scarcely any imported goods selling; people who came here in 1875 and paid $1 aud $1 50 per yard for material now buy goods at flity cen: Tuere numbers of strangers in the city who have emuraced the opportunity of seeing tho Centennial, and are doing a littic “shopping” attiesametine, These folks keep us Very busy in oursuit department. Nunibersare from Te ‘and the far Westwnd Southwest. Iam ceriain of this, having travelled through those countries for en years, in the employ of an tnporting firm, avd recently I have met many old acquaintances from those remote iocalities In the silk de- partment we are. behind last year, as wo cannot buy goods low enough to sell to our customers, Now, for an example of low prices, bere are Roubaix popling, from the well-known Arlington Mills, which are sold at thirty-five cguts per last per the Ma alpaca fancies cost ui ngs to import; 6 domestic goods cost about twenty-five cenis in currency, and, I think, are {ully equal to them in style and quality, Insertings are cheaper than ever; there is not much diflerence in gloves; domestic hosiery this year must beat the imported goods, and, no doubt, will be very cheap. We intended laying in 'a large siock, Dut have been waiting forthe auction to take place of Cochran, McLean & (0., Who are winding up their businesa Here are some English cameis’ haircioth goods for making poianase we cau sei for twenty-Ove cents per yard that cost seventy-five cents to make, 80 you can yet some idea of the shrinkage in value of goods, We seil suits for $8 that we got $14 for inst year, and so on through the oatalogue.”” LORD & TAYLOR, at the corner of Grand and Chrystie streets, have an immense retail establishment Mr. Percy, tho ma ager, told the writer that the outlook was ¥ery cheer- tul, indeed. They were quite busy, and the sales run through the general siock, although the cheaper tab- most demand, In the genera! market all ous were firm, and, a8 everybody knows, easier to sell goods of a rising than a full- ipg market, Their furniture trade was particularly good, @ number of young people apparentiy going to housekeeping—as far as Mr. Percy could judge—gen- erally in flats, There were many persons ing their furniture and housekeeping articles after « return from the country. Lord & Taylor have recently extended their building, and on this account, ag well as by reason of improved business, expect sdon (o em- ploy an increased number of hands. DOYLE & ADOLPHI, Nos. 267 and 269 Grand stroct, reported trade as un- changed from the status of last year. They saw no ee 14 the amount of custom, but inferred from observation that the ' future promised Western mercbanta aro tn the city, and their section was bare of goods ' they freo buyera. Of course nearly all the There is large hosiery trade, and price: very low; flannels and underwear are in demand, but only the stap! goods, and po luxurious at s, This firm disagree with their neighbors that there is a large influx of Cen- tepnial visitors, they believing the only class of autumn buyers alone are filing the market, HILL, MOYXAN & CO, occupy the stores irom No, 271 to No, 277 Grand street, inclusive A twember of the firm stated that they dealt in agenerai line of fancy dry goods, and that they found the prospeot very fine for a large fall trade, There did not seem to be any change in the class of customers, general weil, as were trado is in cheap domestic goods, R RIDLEY & CO. This immense ostablisnment is one of the old land- marks in Grand street, and every part of its vast area— the building iteel! being five stories in height—Iis occu- pied by the tirm in the maputacture and sale of fancy millinery goods, Mr. William A. Moore, the gentic- manly manager, Showed the writer every attention, and gave bim mush valuable information as to tho retail trade in their line of business, He said:—"Wo have bad bat little to complain of asa general thing in regard to trade, but within the last fortnight we have been exceptionally busy; the prospects for @ continu. ance of good business, 1 think, are very bright. Our profits are not so large on the goods we fell, but we find the business increasing. Kecently we been obliged to neariy double tI je of our builain, and now have in our employm nearly 700 per- sons in this building, We sell boot and shoos, household wares, suits, nll kinds of millinery goods, and are visited by customers from every part of the Union; thus I am able to judgo of the number of strangers in New York, and it must be very large to judge of those visiting bera.

PHILLIPS, Successor to Bradbury Brothers, Nos. 312 and 314 Bow- general dry goods dealer, He states that last ery, isa week's business was fully twenty-five per cent in advance of the same time last year, yet he does not anticipate @ very heavy fall trade, although admitting that t Prospect on every side ig more encouraging than at any time since 1872 Mr. Phillips sald that he loo ed for a dull season always duriog 4 Presidential campaign; people are more or less occur pied in politics and engaged in spending their money ip political affairs; the laborer just now is out of em- Ployment and naturally has no money to spend, and as jong as this {#8 the case he cannot look tor great recuperation; yet certainly a return of coufidence in better things and better times is the first step toward @ realization of them. Honesty in trade, too, must be more generally cultivated; dealers should nave inflex- ibly one price for their goods, 60 that. a child could come to the store and purchase goous as cheap as an inteili- gent man, A. 7, STEWART’S RETAIL BTORY in Broadway was noxt visited. Here vast numbers of clerks, cash boys and runners were serving she bevies of beauties thronghing the, aisies, leanin, the counters, tossing over the glove boxes, dipping iy bande into the ribbon baskets, fondling the filmy laces, and generally toying with velvets and eashmeres and shoeby stuffs, ‘so high to reach, 6o bard to icave.”” Mr, Denning, the manager, stated thatthe writer could gee for himsell bow business was in that estab- shment, It was simply a rush, and not for trade either; the prospects for « evntin flattering; thet @ a great many. stran; city and these nearly all visited v Tegular customers, most of them at least, had not yet returned trom the country, but in a few days uo doubt they would do 0, when they looked very confidently for a very large trade, AITKEN, 80% & 00., successors to Aitken & Miller, Nos. 873 and 875 Broad. wi ir Jobbing business was goud and th retail business was opening much better than one year ao, 7.

FIRST MEETING AFTER VaACATION--PRRESENTA- TION OF A BUS TO THE COMMISSIONERS—aN OLD ROW REVIVED—IMPORTANT R¥SOLU- TIONS RELATIVE TO THE COMPULSORY LAW. A meeting of the Board of Education was held yester- day afternoon at the hallcorner of Elm and Grand Streets, Presideut Wood in the chair, This was the first meeting held since the schools adjourned for yaca- tion, and a quorum of members attended, ouly a few abyences being reported and excused. A resolution aliowing Grammar School No, 13, Seventeenth ward, to remain closed for repairs unul Monday next waa adopted. The trustees of the Ninth ward sent in a commuuication relative to # contract given by them for some work to be done on the Hous. ton street schoo, The awarding of this contract to Mr, Isaacs was the subject of discussion ata previous meeting of tho Board and opposition was made to the selection of Mr. Isaaca, The communication was a pro- tost against this interference on the part of the Com. missioners, aud explaining that tho bid of Mr, Teancs, which was $1,821, was $157 less than that of his next competitor, The trus tecs expressed their belief that they were perfectly competent to take care of the schools under their charge, and that the interference of the Commis- sioners was not necessary, This communication was referred to the Finance Committee. A communication from Mr. Isaacs, in his own defence, was also bere the Board, but to the reading of this Comnfissioners Wetmore and Goulding were opposed, but were not sus tained) The communication had appended to 1 an ine dorsement from the trustees of several wards for the schools of which Mr, Isaacs had done work. After the communteation had been read Commissioner Wet- more asked by whom the paper was sigued, and it was ascertained that only the names o the trustees bear- ing testimony'to Mr. Isaacs’ competency as a work- man were appended, and it was then ordered that the communication could not be received, but that the Tecommendation (rom the trustees could’ be placed on file. ‘A letter from: Wilson MeDonald, (he sculptor, was read, presenting to the Board a large bust of Washing- ton, Which, be said, was modelled irom a combination of dldand'vewly discovered materials On motion of Commissioner Goulding, secouded by Commissioner Wetmoro, the bust was ‘accepted, and the President of the Board requested to ‘ender Mr. McDonald the thanks of the Board for his donation, The bust was exiibited in the hall, placed on a pedestal which was covered tonal flag. esignation of G.

He lieved thatthe truanis should not be taken before the ‘police courts, which tended to the degraiation of children, bub that the President of the Board of Education and the Chairman of the Committee on By- laws should have the power to commit traant chile dren to the reformatories or institutions At the pres- eut timo the signature of the President of tho Board of Education is needed to get the committed children out of any of the instituuions, but his sig- nature was not needed to get the eliid commitied as @ truant, He believed the foliowing preambie and resolutions, if adopted, would be dt value in reaching a Just conclusion tu regard to this important matte: Whereas the Compulsory Edneation act, called “An act to secure to children tho benefit of an elementary edu: tion,” among otber things provides im section & that the Board of Eaucation cipline, auch a truunts;” and, Whoréas it Is highly inexpedient and improper that mere “habitual truauts” shoud be committed to institutions where they are of necessity brought into contact with ebil- dren sirenvy belonging to the eriminai classes and comuit- ted for immor t “shall provide #u instruction and conlivemen able plans for the dis: jiosl ton ander its deiention aud instruction of Renal imetinution to which heretofore been commitzed cw pti and the abitual troante” have ch criminal misdemeanauts ns it is iy with, aive, an the rensons for ite existen @ tecelve any more of hudren kuown As “habicual truamis,” even were {8 de ble that such children should ve sent to it; therefore, , That the ittee on Byl with their Judgment, s pian i Matery school tor the reception, detention and fa- in spelling, reading, writing, geography, Enciish grammar and arithmetic.” Such school, owever, Hot to do even called a “refurinatery”’ school, that no crim nal associations shail be connected with it; b 100, it #hall be know a, with not les one acre of ground attached to the sehaol building, and, if posalle, two acres, one boundary of the Ward's Is!
