8 THE COURTS. Tateresting Opinions ef the General Term, Supreme Court. COURT HOUSE Henry Ward Beecher’s Efforts to Collect That Two Thousand Dollars. ELABORATED GARGOYLES, TLS SEER SUMMARY CF THE DAY'S WORK. The General Term of the Sapreme Court yesterday Banded down a batch of decisions upon eases argued uring the last term, among which the following are the most important: Eliza Ruskinaa, who owns @ large quantity of real estate in New York, very mear to the boundery line of New Jers Property was dopreciated by the obnoxious smelis arising from the bone boiling establishments within the confines of New Jersey, She brought suit for damages, but the complaint was dismissed on the grouud of wont of jurisdiction, as the alleged nus ance was located outside of the State, The General Term, that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction outside of the State over causes which depreciate the value of prop- erty within this State, In the case of SirGrande M. Anway, involving the pverning tho examination of judgment deblors claimed an ¢ a judgment debtor isa resident of another State, but has a place of business here, be may be examined in | this county if au execution has been issued, and. re- | jurned here, which was based upon « transcript flea here, although the judgment roll wag filed in another pounty, The stulute appiics equally to such cases, as to those wherein it appears that the debtor, though | resident in some other county than this State, hasa place of business here, Jt is general, and in such pases makes no distinctions. ts provisions relate to Judgment debtors gene The further result 1s hat the examipation of non-romidents is confined to the county where the judgment roll is tiled, culy in the cuse when the debtor bas no place of business in any county in this State, Tu the case of Jonathan Woodruff against Kobert | Sherard, agent of the Now York Transier Company, the Suprome Coart, General Term, approves the « cision of the Court below. The plaintifl sued che com- pany for the value of a box and its cpatents, delivered lo one of its agents by bis da she bavic mitohim, Wh we Young lady ked tor was ‘hh me of that they we of more than $100, The box hvered to the plaintiff and # surt tor damages was s betore the re of the y tateusted to a commen carrier, Transfer Company ap- peated to the Goneral Cerm with tho result statea, Ob the duh of Ma convicted in the Justices Dowling and § pon one Quini He Irom the force by the P acoug upon that rouviction, although be attempted to explain away the tharge. Ob an appeal from the sction of the Board de rul Term of the Supreme Cort directs lis re- Instateinent, boiding that there was uo evidence before Ihe Police Board, Judge Davis tu his opinion states that prior to 1565 the Court of Special Sessions in this equently dismissed ty wan held by any three pot stices. In that Year the Court was authorized “to be held iwo elected in the Secoud aud Sixth cil districts, = The act of 1865, howe was repealed by chapter 30 of the Laws of 1570, and the former act was thereby specitically revived and declared to be in {ull fo It followed “that the only law under which the Court @f Special Sessions could be held at the tine the relator was convicted was that which required three police justices to hola it, and it could not be held by jess than that number, consequently the conviction of the relator is void and the certificate of such conviction could not be a cepted as legal evidence; it was the only evidence p duced before the Police Board, and it follows that the charge must be regurded as wholly unsustainea by a prool. fo the matter of the appeal by the Children’s Aid Society trom the decision of the Surrogate admitting to probate the will of Bliza Heat or Eliza Hall, dated January 11, Is74, and rejecting one ot February 8, 1872, beq beng h property to the the General Term. ina opinic is, affirms the decision of th Surregi embered that the deceased trapsierred her afleciions and her property from Mrs. Blauvelt, with m she bad y hving, toa family named L and that the Leveredges accused the latter of bringing “undue influence’ to bear upon the decensed, “ihe Leveredges,” says Judge Davis, “were substituted in the aflecuions of the testatrix by bo apparent effort of their own. She sought them and Piacea them in the position Mrs. Blauvelt haa va- gated, She tound in them companions and friends more genial and more yielding to ber demands, more carelul of her comforts and wisbes, and, so fur as the evidence in the case goes, ussiduous to promote her meniai and physical Lappiness and soothe the pain she suflered from her various maladies by means in their power, It is not sure prising that sho came to regard them as par- Hicular objects of her bounty, and as suitable substi- tutes for persons whom suv’ hos ceased to regard in that light. The stare of feeling on ber part was in Manifest accord with the teuor of her vestamentary ldeas as shown in the former wills, so far, certainly, as related to those immediately surrounding ber, avd to the disposition of the house in which she lived. No one can read the testimony and be surprised that she took the house away irom Mrs, Biauvelt, from whom she had required, for reasons suflicient to her- self, Lhe return of articles of jewelry she bad given her, requiring the gifts as forfeited by her ‘ingratitnde,’ and no Ove shouid be surprised that she wished to give it tothe Levereages, who had won her ailection by constant kindvess and atiention. We cau see Dothing in the fact which tends to show ‘uo- due influence,’ even it it be conceded that all the services and kindness of the Lever- edges were animated by the hope of reward. Courts must ve caretul not to deprive old age and its Dumerous influences of the right to secure for iteelf the Kindoces, care and aken\iow whieh ol ten- Limes nothing but money or hope ol it can pur- chase, The iofirm aged who part trom the staf of property in declining years are too apt to barvest the ingratitude and sometiues the crueity of which almost every one’s experience will furnish examples. To Bhutof by any inexorable rule of ‘undue influence’ the right and power of persons situated us the téstatrix in this case Was to reward by their ist will. or other. wise the kindness that makes their last days happy, or to deny them the beneficial use of tneir property at the time of iiie when 1t becomes most vuluabie to their comfort, would be cruel, It is a maxim of the law that ‘the will stands fur the reason’ in the absence of fraud, coercion or undue influ- ©, and when the oniy unduo influence shown is thatof unremitting kindness, the spirat ot the maxim is unshakeo, because such manifestations Of tenderness form another and be\ter reason for a testator’s Lounty. Weean discover no ground for disturbing the will of the testatrix im this cuse. Tho decree of the Surrogate shoud be affirmed, with costs of tho appeal.” : in the case of Bight against the city, the facts of whic bave already been published in the Henan, the General Term reverses the decision of the court below, in which plaintilt obtaine judginent tor out $82,000. Judge Davis in ion holds that the Superiniendent rs and Supplies bound to sign ull certificates acknowledging (he receipt pf materials personally, in opposition to the lower Inibunal, which admitted their signing by bis subor- Aipaces to be legal “The most important question,” he sa whetuer uoder such a contract the power exists in the Depariment of Docks to make requisitions whrea de- part from (he specifications of the contract avd were Dot fuiriy covered by its terms. If this ys to be so, why then all the protection to the eity pr&ided for vy suiute requiring advertisements for seaied proposals and contracts with bonds, and security for their pyr- formance, bas vo sabstantial value, for under each a Contract the department might accept the did of SA’ at the fixed “price for the articics specified for competition in the advertisement, and then, under big contract for the delivery of sueh articles, permit him by requisition to oliver those ‘much inferior in quality aud value, This case itself tilustfates the Ganger of such a power, In this case it will be easy upon the papers prosented toenter upon #nolher trial and discover the artiries fairly within the contract and those cleariy outside ot it. The former must ve paid for by the vity, underine contract itself, ‘Ihe laiter cannot be recovered \n this Action, whatever remedies the plaintiff! may have In his opinion Judge Davis furtuer nd to bold it to be sound inw that i€ contracts are made by the city upon the basis Of sealed bids and propseais under the stature, pecitying with partioulirity the articles te be deny: ered, there is no power In any | of the Corporation to let down the contract in matorial respects tv interior or loss reliable articles, ander the pretext that they will as well or better answer the purposes of the city. To permit the contrary rule to Fevail would be injurious and wnjusi to the bidders for contructs, provocative of collusion and fraud be. tween the ollicer and successiui bidder, avd become injurious to the city. lt would virtually an v et system by destroying ity most important foguard, at tae option of corrupt ofticials. For these reasons we think the judgment his cas ‘ial ordered, against the city.” "We feel bou!

Mr. Beecher, standing us the representative pop- ular preacher of this country, was rather severely handied by the Professor, because he (Mr. Beecher) preaches and tesches thas the ercat aim and end of preaching #40 secure a reconstructed manhood. The defects and fadures of Mr. Beeeter'’s preaching were peimted out, aud the reason assigned for his failure was this false aim of preaching which he has set before him, God, and not man, is to be the centre of all true and succcssiul preaching Mr, Beecher makes that the atm wiich ia but the resalt of preaching, and all his other mistakes flow paturally from this, Socrates, Theodcre Parker avd others beloreabim made simiar mistakes. The Irofeesor queted from one of Mr. Beecher's Yale lectures oo preaching in proof of the Plymouth pasior’s crror, in whicd he quotes Peter in big Pentecostal sermon «8 sebiing forth the real aim of preaching to be, ine reconstreetion of humanity. But, reterring to the ac- count ot thatevent im tke Acts, Professor Wilkinson paiwely, 1@ exalt Jesus, the Cruciied, ae Lord ond Curist,' But Mr. Beccuer shut big eyes Aud saw all the better what he wanted to see in this sermon. A recon. structed munloed will be the rosult of exaiting Jesu as Lord aud Christ, and “the trae motive of preaching shoud be the glory of in the preaching of Christ the result will be the sulvation of men, The great peed | of the pulpit to-day, the t'vefessor remarked, 18 abso- lute submiswion to Christ. CURKICAL SCRPTICS, There is too much specuiavon anc too much scopti- cism in tue Church aud in wie ministry, Doctrines are accepted wna taught after miuixiers have unuerstood them, and potaler they have believed them on the authority of Christ. There ix Woo ues discrimination between’ one commanument and waetier, aud some are javored and otbers opposed, 1 beuld be wo suck discrimination, Whenua Christ commands, the duty of tue ministry and of the Church is absolute obcaience, and ib this adsolute obedience to Chnst God the Father is gloritied. It is simply a question of endurance—whe shall look (he gilier out of counte- hance. And “greater is He that is in us than he tuat igiu the world.) And whenever the minister stands beiore wen be should Know why he stands there, aga, knowing tis, fe Gunaet iail 40 be always moving on the enemy's works. Drs. Viniel Reid, Sampser, Swan, Thomas and other brethren discussed tho subject matter o! the essay aud MS ireutiueht ol the question; and, while all agreed wilh ils spitis aud abuity, Da Reid made the point, Vuat popularity mast not be geemed an evidence off Wrong oF iuise lath or prevebing, nor the lack of 1 an evigence of \ thinking and teaching. For if the jatter ve the test they weuld all be included. Dr. Sampson veheved Wits Ue essayist that Christ, and not May, Must be the centre of ull successtai proack- ing. ‘Hut woe vuto you when ail men speak weil of you.” Mr Swan wisbed tbat the essayist hud spoken more ot the rlution of preaching to conversation. ‘There is too much ‘muah’? conversation i all our religious gaiheriugs. He looked upon preacuing as a prociaination, aud be believed Mr. Beecher was all Wroug in his win aud mettod oF preaching. . SKLKING FOR CRAIN, * He (Swan) bad read fouriees roiumes of Beecher’s Sermons last August 10 Hud oUt, If possible, wherein lay his power; but Le did pot tind it, He (Beecver) goes about among the doctrines ike Paui tghung with Wild beasts at Ephesus. If a reconstructed manhood is Une true atm oO! preaching Mr. Beecher 1s not a good specimen of his own theory, (fisses and a voiwe— “That has no piace here”) Me, swan explained that he hau no reference Whatever in his mind to the scandal; that be did net believe Mr. Beecher guuty of the main charge and never did, and that he bud defended num | agaunst those wie did believe bun guilty. But what he meant was that the aun of preaching, a8 declared by Mr. Beecher, bad not been illustrated tn the recon: s.ruction of hig own entire manhood, And yet he be- daeved that Mr. Beecher bad been tho instrument in God’s wands of Saving more souls than any man on this content, Dr, Thomas thought Professor Wilkiuson bad drawn the likes too ght, and had cut too close between the issue aud the aim of preaching. Are we, the Doctor asked, to seek the glory of God 80 muci thus we shall cure less than we do about the saving of souls? In ihe economy of the guspels teaching and preaching are put together as means for suving men. And he Was pleaseu with Ube teaching and preaching o1 the Gospel by laymen, and hid always told bis Church that they had as good a right as himself to engage in this work, Tbis is pothing Dew; it was tue custom in the early Christian Oburch, Proiessor Wilkinson was al Jowed ten minutes to reply to the eriicisms of bis brethren, which he did very effectively by proving and Maintaining bis Own position Lbut the aum and object of ing ure te glorify God by ovedience to Jesus Christ, 10 whem all power in beaver and earth has been commuted, and t esult of this preaching is the salvation of men. The publication of the essay was requested, THE ULTAODIST MIXISTERS ON MIFSIONS. The Metuodist preachers discussed in an informa way the subject of mirsions, Dr. Keid, missionary secretary, being asked to speak more particularly on the unsuccessiui missions of the Charch, relerred to Bulgaria and Alrtca, The former received un appro- priation of $7,600 aud the latter $6,500 his year, He considered Bulgaria the most prospectively successtul inission carried on by the Churca, ltis raising up ative ministry, There are only three American wis sionaries there, and the work is maiuly done by native helpers. There is a class of eignt or ten theologreal students in the college at A gal vee! and vives ure studying in Drew Seminary » while auother, a graduate of thig semmary, has been transterred, and will gail very shortly jor Bulgaria. ‘the Methodiet Episcopal Church does notown adoilar’s worth of real estate in that coun- It could not mvest permanently there because of unsettied political coudition of the country. They have a church membership including probationers of less than 200. (Ove of the prethren suggested only sixty.) But the bigoted Greek kingdom tx ibeir next door veighvor, aud they hope through their Bulgarian mission to reach the Greek Charch, which embraces a population second only to that ol China, Tt would not do now to withdraw trom that mission, ly would cost as much to breek tap os to mainuin it. And whatever seiticment the threatened war between Rus- sia and Turkey snall make of the Greek Church ques: ion, Protestant missionaries ought to de on hand to tc reap apy benefits that may come from it. | Dr Reid heved that greater success could be achieved im tho interior of Africa thau }on the coast, But i is @ question of roads and of duties. There 18 no means of communication between Liberia and the interior but by foot paths, and strangers cannot travel even these without Uribace to the pall dozen petty kings that gover countey 5 nd even then tuey are Hable to be several Weeks in every village or town, and for tho jeast ofleuce or breach of etiquette to be murdered. Bishop Janes, while he lived, vad some influence with ww York Chamber of Commerce, which body was »perate with the Mission Board to open roads and make treaties with the native kings, looking toward increases trade in ivory and dye woods toat should ro- suit therojrom for their remuneration. In time, Dr. thought, something might done, At present { the inverior with the Coast 1s car- % IN WORK. Mr. J. B. Corneil, the President of the City Mission- ary Socicty, by request, addressed the meeting. He expressed bis regret that 80 much ignorance prevails in the Chureb on the missionary quoation, because the Crore had told the people so little about it. He hheved that the 1,600,000 children in the Sabbath hools could raise $500,000 at, which is tore than @ Missionary Committee b tf appropriated, Dr. Curry, however, dissipated the 'y showing that 300, 000 of these are negro children, who never had fity cents of their own iu their lives, And one-halfof the remainder ar ry little better off. The other half might save this amount from their candy money, but experience bad shown that they would not The policy of DISCOUNTISO RXPECTRD BUT USRECKIVED GAINS waa suicilal, Aud it is also false to wealth of Methouist Eptscopai Ch numbers It is large put poor, and did not believe in the policy of eo by dropping down twenty meu nations and leaving them there to starve and perish, The Church shouid proceed in mission etag bye" only As last as it bas the means apd no faster. Mr, Cornett (interrupting) believed iat $100 was not too much of erage to ask or expect per annum trom every min- wthe Church. And this amoant would give over $1,000,000 « year to the treasury. But Dr. Curry could not concede even this, for hundreds of the ministers brend enough to keep them from starva- Tr, if che ministry wou ject of missions ov their hearts as they have other subjects, sometning tangiblo would come out of this discussion, The missionary society must not be left where it now ia, It most be helped out of its difficulty and every must do his part toward it.
