TU CARDINALS. LAGAUL ——__ >, Seventeen Salters Ory Out Against Its Payment. FLIGHTY OR INSANE? Talks with a Nephew, a Doctor and a Brace of Lawyers. The rolatives ot the late Mrs, Caroline Merrill aro preparing to contest that codicil of her will which makes Cardinal McCloskey the residuary legatee and gives him $300,000, on the ground that tne lady was not in ber right mind when she executed that instru- ment, and that she was induced to do 80 by the exercise of an undue influence. It will be remembered that a day pr two ago Mr. Rosweii R. Ralston filed nis petition in the Sur- rogate’s office for letters testamentary on the last will and testament of Mrs, Merrill, in which he was named soexecutor with Mr. Moses Taylor, president of the City Bank, This will was executed in 1871, and by it Right Rev, David Bacon, Koman Catholic Bishop of Portland, was made the residuary legutoe. Re died, however, and in 1876 the lady made a codicil, in which she stated that fact, and transferred the be- quest to Cardinal McCloskey, ‘his is the cause of all the contention which ts likely to arise on the 18th of December, when the people are cited to appear before tho Surrogate to have the will proved, THE RESIDENT NEPUBW’S STATEMBNT. Mr. W. Tf Salter, who is the deceased’s only nephew resident in New York, and who represents tho con- testants, called on by a Hegatp reporter yester- day aod conversed freely on the subject, Kerorter—Mr, Salter, are you Mrs, Caroline Mer- rill’s nephew? Mr. Saurer—I am, Reronrer—Would yoli object to giving me some in- formation on your position toward the legatees men- Vioned in her wili? Mr. SaLteR—No, sir. The matter will soon be pub- liely discussed, and I cannot see what harm can be done by speaking of it now, Revortsr—In your opinion was Mrs, Merrill in her Tight mind when she made her will ? Mr. SALTER (laughing)—Well, | don’t know that she was or was not. We all regarded her as a very eccen- tric old lady, Indeed, we thought ‘or years that she Was Of unsound mind, At any rate, she was always very oda. Rerortar—Are you going to contest the will on that ground? Mr. SAuren—We are. lexpect we shall bo able to #how by strong evidence that sho has been of unsound mind for many years, and during tbat time sho has been under uudue influence. In fact we will show that priests buve cuased her about im place to place tor years. ReroxTgr—Was sho a Roman Catholic? Mir. SauTER—She was always an Episcopalian during the lifetime of her husband, who was a prominent shipping merebant and the partner of Robert L. Taylor, Mr. Merrill was buried from Trinity Chureb, KPORTER—May not Mre. Merrill have become a Roman Cotholic during her widowhood ? Mr. SautRR—Of course, but we’sbould have heard of it and we didn’t, A RATHER WILD INSANITY, Rerorter—What evidences has she ever given of ber insanity? Mr. Saurer—Her method of life was queer, She never had a home since her busban’s death. She has to place; now in Europe; again in rt, she was travelling about the world all the time, Rerorter—Is that ail? Mr. Sauter—No, Two years ago she cxecuted that last condici! cancelling her bequest to her nephew, Dr. George H. ©. Saltor, becausy 01 his death, when, if were sane, sho must have knowa that he ana well in China, because sho was” correspondiug with bim. Reronrer—Was he alive? Mr, SaLTeR—Ot course ho was, and is, He 1 my own brother, und 1s at present ia Yokohama, in Japau. ludeed, since she executed that codicil she has been corresponding with the Doctor. Rerorter—How wuny nephews aud nieces aro there? 4 Mr. Sauten—There are se’ and only $5,000 a ter. Doesn’s it seem fuony that the Surrog: cite the Doctor, who has been Killed by the codicil, to appear on the 18th of December? THE UNDUK INFLUENCE, Revorter—W hat reason have you for thinking that Mrs. Merrill was subjected to undue influence when phe executed the codicil making Cardinal McCloskey the residuary legatee ? Mr, Sautgk—She was chased about by priests. One of them, 4 monsiguor, Was a Witness to the codicil, 1 think she altered ber mind about the will and its pro- ‘Visions just before her death because she sent tor Mr. Stephen Merribew, a lawyer, to draw up another for her, He did s0, 1 believe, but it was never executed, She died of paralysis of the brain, by which she was rendoged speechless ior days; hence she could not carry out her intention, This disease had been growing upon her for many years, and her pbysicians seemed to thing that oer mind bad boen affected by it for a number of years previous 10 her death. RerorteR—Wbo were the lady’s spiritual attendants Suring ber last illoess? Mr. Saurer—I don’t know that she had any. I had the Unitarian funeral services atthe Church of the Messiah, and when these hud concluded Messrs. Moses Yaylor, RG. Rolston the Curdinal’s attorney (Mr. Glover), my own aud myself went to the Ross. more Hotel, opened deceased’s truuk, got the will and read it, This was about uine o'clock on Baturday evening, Octover 20. After the will had been ead Mr, Glover said that a solemn requiem mass should be sung at the Cathedral, and he weat and asked the Cardinal about it. ‘Me order was given and the requiem was advertized in the Herarp of Monday, Ocrvober 22, That day the Cardinal officiated at the High Mass which wus celebrated at Si, Stephen’s for the repose of the Joul of Mrs, Merrill, whose body was lying at the un- dertak bop at Forty-lirst street, whither it bad been ri ed from the Cuurch of the Messiah, An empty coffin represented the deceased at st. Stephen's, That afternoon I and a few friends placed her rewaing ig her vault at Greenwood, LAWYHR MERKIMEW'N STATEMENT, F The reporter went immediately trom Mr. Salter’s ace of business to No, 52 Wall street, where M: lerrihew’s office is loc.ted, Tuts gentleman recerv: the visitor courteously and answered some questions here given RerorteR—Were you the late Mrs, Merrill's lawyer ?

She then informed me that she had resolved to leave out of her new will the $50,000 bequest to the New York Hospital, with which she bad become dissatisfied lor some reason or other. She decided to incresse the bequest to the St. Vincent’s Hospital and to the Roman Catho- ie Foundling Asylum, She asked me for a list of the dispensaries, telling me that she intended leaving something to them also; but before she had completed this instrument paralysis overtook her and death shortly atter terminated her lile, RérorteR— Was she a Koman Catholic? Dr, Happex—lI really cannot say. All I know is that the day after she was stricken the Rev.

Speaking to me about her uew will on the 19th of last September, she declared it to be her intention to appoint Dr, Salter, her nephew, who ts in Japan, and formerly was American Consul at Heme kow, to be one of her executors, She had mude memorandas of what she purposed, aud these she gave to Mr, Merrihew to embody in the pew will. Reroxter—What would you bave thought of that docament had it been executed?” Dr. HappeN—I1 should have provoanced It the pro- duction of an unsound mind, because her brain was certainly aflected when she contemplated .execut- ing it. ‘Rupontes—With regard to the first one, what do ou ?

BEECHER'S TALK-—THE BLESSINGS AND ADVAN- TAGES OF SELF-DENIAL AND CROSS-BEAR- ING, ‘There was the usually large attendance at the Plym- outh Churen’ Meeting last night, After exer- Gises of praise and prayer Mr. Beecher spoke about seli-denial and éross-bearing. In the course of bis ro- marke he said that we must not confound the element of selt-denial with the element of cross-bearing. Self- denial was the act of our own will by which we choose that which appears to us right But & cross was vpon us in @ state of things that Trnvidance blined us to meet and to bear, It was, however, true that iu some cases crose-bearing led to self-denial, Tho latter, however, must be re- garded in the nature of training, and self-denial, until were well practised in it, is not agreeabie. it should be remembered that every pain we felt in denying ourselves brought with it reat joy if it led us to a reulizution of Diviwe favor. By the persistent aud active cise of our nature in the direction of rectitude it soon became casier for us to do right than it was for us to do wrong. How difficult it was to get back to \t doing waa illustrated by the instauce of a child in 4 family who had grown up the family 1, the centre around which were all the tamily’s joys, and who bad been allowed to regard itself as of more consequence than anybouy else. Funcy that condition of things continued until the child was fif- teen years of age, bow hard was the struggle tor that child to bring stsell 10 consider o1 peoples’ feelings and to be polite im the true sense of politeness which to consider the feelings opinions of others rather than our own. Everybody had to go through this kind of personal training, and Mr, Beecher said ho was sorry for sayhody. who ‘hot subdued » good their own nature, Edstusies 4 in, but one single © of w tonic, was experience than hours and days of ecstasy. ring was painful; jor those who were culled upon to bear it say that it presses on that point of their nature which is weakest, But the Lord did not administer bis m “amiction, orketh out t sible purity of righ\wousness to those who are e: id thereby,’’ Aller unswering questions suggested by Dr. Eaward Beecher and Mr, Halliday, the bonediction was pro- nounced, deal of the territory oi THE RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS—LECTURE BY THE REY. T. DE WITT TALMAGE. Mr. Talmage lectured last night at the Brookiyn Tab- erpacle on tne political affairs of the day. The mirth- present national administration is the appointment by President Hayes of Colonel Ingersoll ax Minister to Germany, the birthplace of modern inidelity. Colone, Ingersoll hus been filling the land witb blatant inf- delity, und on the stage of our own Academy of Music took the liberty of giving the opinion that God was a great ghost and has beon delivering his lecture en- titled, ‘An Honest God the Noblest Work of Man.”” President Hayes is a Methodist, aud of course ac- copts in their heartiest meaning all the truths of Christianity, and now he sends Mr. Ingersoll to Ger- many, the nest of modern scopticlsm—a uomination 80 fit to be made that it has kept me smiling ail the week. We hope be will accept the nomination, our country can stand it and Germany will feel _no shock, Another marked event of the week, said the preacher, 13 the election, 1 am delighted with tue resui, Lt was necessary that Now York should elect tho forc- most gambler in the United States to the office of State Senator velore the poopie couid realize the iniornal dopth into which moueru politics could sink, We have Feached the turning point The election of John Mor- rissey to the office of State Senator seemed to be a necessity in order that the people might realize what we bave come to, and to muke it more con- spicuous he has been elected, not by his old time parugans, but by republicans.’ Hamilton Fish, Gen- eral Grunt’s Secretury of State, voted for him; Peter Cooper, the trienu of education aod the founder of a greut Iustitute, voted for him; the brown stoue ironts yoted tor him, the Filth avenve equipages voted tor him, Murray hut votea for him—i1 some of you had lived there you would have voted for him, (Luugh- ter.)

In our own city of Brooklyn in the eiection I take it a3 @ glad omen that the tickets uf both parties were split and scratched as never before, and men w voted for uccording us the people estimated their moral character, and so some ran ahead of their ticket, oilers behind.

(Appiause.) In consideration of what bas transpired the people have voted for rational peace. in what a miserabie predicament are the politicians who wanted to keep up the olu grudge. They want to be Presideat—they never can.

Thompson, the new President of the Liberal Club, mounted the stand in the hall of the College of Physicians and Surgeons last evening and called the meeting to order. The call was easier made than obeyed, for when the lecturer got on bis legs the real trouble began, A party of some fifty or more medical students armed with stout clubs, sat together near a conven- jent door and created a continual uproar. At every pause the lecturer made they banged the floor with their sticks, and when the chairman of the meeting stop] the lecture to reprimand them, bal! of the pumber went outside in the ball and ran up apd down the stair, making as much noise as they possibly could, ‘Then they shouted and sang, so that it was almos: impossible to hear the lec- turer, At this juncture a member of the club leit the ball and returned with three policemen; but the students bad as Nittle respect for the policeman’s club as for the Liberal Club and continued their noise upmoiested.

To Tux Epitox ov tax HeRaLy;— The greatest outrago upon common decency and justice bas be acted this evening that hus ever Claimed the the attention and roused the indignation of the public, If you will grant mea little of your valuable space I will recite the tacts oncisely as is compatible with truth On Friday last the Liberal Club held a meeting in tho Jecture room of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in which Dr. Gunn delivered a lecture which was in substance nothing but slan- der and calumny against this institution, He claimed that it was a money-making affair; that nothing but fools were graduated therefrom; that the pro- fessors had bought their chairs for a few thousand dollars each, and were consequently accepted, irre- spective of their merits, &c., &c, Some students of this college were present at tho time and were denied the privilege or courtesy of answering those abusive, and, it is needless to state, totally unfounded statements; hence nothing was leit for thom to do but to. give expression to their protest and vent so their feelings by mild hissing, To- night this club aguin met at the same hall, and after an interesting though absurd reading by Dr. Foote, which was heartily applauded by all present, a debate was opened upon the subject. Tho frat to take the floor was an old man, name unknown, but said (o be arevefend somevody, He immediately launched forth iato a vehement tuvective aguinst all drugs, and, consequently, against their aispensers-— aie, physicians, Notwithstanding the polite and re- spectiul request of u physician to cali him to order he Was permitted to continue hig outragevus and ridiculous remarks, At this ume a num ber of students who bad beon in the upper part of the building camo down, and, as was but natural ufter a long day of hard and constant applicu- tion to study, were somewhat boisivrous out in the hall, outside of the room whereid the learned liberalist Giscoursed, Hereapon two of the meinbers of the soci- ety rushed pell meil into the hall, and aiter coufessing that they could not pomt out the culprits, made an indis- criminate charge ayaiustgwoo! the studenta, who were, ag can be proved by all present, entirely innocent ot the charge made against them—namely, disoraerly conduct and attempt to demoralize a peaceable me ing. They were led to the station house by officers and there held’ for the heinous crimos ascribed to them. They must consequently pass this night amid the rst scum of New York—drunkards, harlots, thieves, &c.—they who who are gentiemen by birth, education and behavior! Is such an outrage who will Non (I ated? In conclusion allow ticle thus hastily, not upon the impuise of the mot t, but upon reflec- tion that in all possibility the Liberal Club will strive to give the story in a tulse and varnished trame.
