Lowery, Soran and Stone appeared on pebalt of the Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company and ex-Judgo Comstock and Joseph road Company, in H. Choate tor the Sixth Avenue Company. ARGUMENT YOR RAPID TRANSIT, | Mr. Lowery, who opened the argument, stated that the Gilbort Elevated Railroaa Company demand re- versal of the judgment from which appeal is takon upon the ground that the Court of Appeals has re- viewed, in the case of Hutton vs. Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company, the only question considered by Judge Sedgwick, and decided tbat the act referred to is constitutional and that the proposed read may law- fully be built unaer it, It was insisted that in case the Court should be asked to review the whole record Sixth Avenue derived from the resvlutions of the its sole sources to nothing more thao on ten days’ notice, to lay down in Sixth avenue two tracks, and run thoreon such cars as might be anno- ally licensed to it by the Mayor; that such permission is not a contract, the obligation of which is impaired- by the erection of the Gilvert road, and is not enti- ed to protection under the provision of the constitu- to the obligation of contracts; tnat the Sixth Avenue Company possesses BO private easement or other interest in the Sixth Avenue as distinos trom thu public casement entitling to maintain en action for injunction; that the land | ef Sixth avonue is not impressed, under the act of 1813, with such a trust as can be avatled of by the that tho asserted franchise of the Company, Commou Council, which are of autbority, amounts @ permission, revocable at any ume tion of the United States relati laintid’ yo defeat the beret 9 of delecdant’s road 4 Was strenuously denied that the want of coinci- 4 ico beri ‘He proposed routes and these pi ‘act {s u valid objection to the building y*y, F that such buitidiag would in any way + enjoyment of any public or private veoorbe street, It was urged that it is e Legislature, after granting a {ran- -F8on of corporation which affects the right of the public, to grant a similar frauohise to an- other person or corporation, the use of which wil! im- pair or even destroy the value of tho first franchise, although the rigat so to do may not bo reserved in the first grant, unless the right todu so is expressly prohibited by the first grant, and upon this point it was contended that there is no obligation of contract Dinding on the city or State to permit the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company to continue ita railroad or run ite curs, an much less to exclude others; that such an obligation, if existing, would not be impaired by slation permit otiers to carry ‘on in the same street the busin: proposed by the Elevated Railroad Company, however injurious might be the competition, Iv is difficult to conceive wuat ean be said in support of the idea that the building of she delendant’s roud brings upon tho plainti_ls the 1 jury contempiated, After continuing his argument euforcing the same points mainly raised when the Same questions were under argument in previous pro- ceedings in the courts, it was urged in conclu: that uhis was @ case where tho idtercsts of @ private corpo- ation were not to be considered for a moment as op- pore ‘bho urgent requirements and demands of tho pul THE OPPOSING ARGUMENT, Mr. Choate made an equally lengtoy reply. He contended that it was irst necessary to ascertain ex- actly what wus, and what was not, desided vy the Court of Appeals in their recently promulgated deci- Sion in the matier of the New York Klevated Ruth that no ions arising out of the conflicting rights ‘ol the jwiff and defendant were involved in either Of those cases, and thut nothing was there involved Dut the constitutionality and the construction of the Rupid Trapsit act lt’ was urged that if it should be ‘Mude to appear to the court that the«plaintiffs huve a property interest either in she! x16ting railroad and franchise, by virtae of, and as appur- tenant to, their real estate abutting on the Sixth avenue, which is iu thedeast degree to be taken away or desiroyed, or, in the language of Judgo Allen, “the beneticial enjoyment of which will be destroye or interiered with by the construction and operation of the defendant's proposed rauway,” it is settlea upon authority beyond dispute that they have a right to the injunction, which bas already been decreed in their favor by the Court below, to restrain the con- Btruction of the proposed road, until just compens: tion, within the meuning of the constitution, has been made to them for the ¢ights s0 to be taken, destroyed or interfered with; and, it not ee in Present case that any offer such compensation bas been made or proceedings taken to provide tor it, or any adequate fund provided to pay it, their right ‘to an aflirmance of the decree below, aud to the preservation of the perpetual injune- tion granted by it, follows as a necessary conclusion. Upon this assumption he insisted that all the a shority conterred upon the defendants by the statutes, upon which they rely, is merely the authority to dutid, so jar ag the public is concerned, leaving pri- vate rights to be adjusted by arrangement with the Owners or condemued 1p invitum by statutory Proceedings to thay end, as in the case of any other railroad to be built, Coming to the great question in the case i% wus claimed that, as owners of property fronting on iho Bixth avenue, the plaintiff, and the other owners of similar property, bave a right that that street sbuli be maintained as a highway, and kept open forever, for wil the uses and purposes of a highway, unencumbered throughout ite whole lengty and breauth, 1 accord- ance with the provisions of the Act of 1813, under which it is found, as matter o1 fact, that the Sixth avenge was oponed, that this right, so tar from being impaired, is fortified and demonstrated by the pro- visi008 Of the Act of 1813. Aiter urging other points end citing Various authorities he concluded his argu- ment, when the Court took the paptrs. IMPORTANT MBETING OF PROPERTY OWNERS. A largely attended meeting of Sixth avenue prop- erty owners was held iw one of the -parlors of the St. Omer Hotel last evening to consider what measur were necessary to protect their rights againgt the so called encroachments of the Guibert Kiev: roads, and in view of the decision recently rendered by the State courts on tuat subject, It appears that an organization known as The sixth Property Owners’ Association has ex: years for the purpose of keeping the avenue free trom ail steam roads whatever, this association hus been active at Aluany and in the courts ever since the Rapid Transit act was passed in 1875, and when they eawebat their battle was about half lost to secure ut least compensation for whatever injury might result to their property along the line of the Elevated road, AN UPHNL viGuT. s Mr. KE.

They Have Neither Gas Nor Butter. NEW YORK PREFERRED TO LONDON A Novel Way of Making “a Labor- ing Man’s Pleasure Tour.” Loxpoy, Oct, 30, 1877. The American masons who recently came over to take the places of the London strikers are giving the industrious contractors much trouvle. The situation is daily becoming more complicated and aniusiug. Three months ago the London stonecutters who were employed on the new Temple buildings, close by the Thames Embankment, struck ‘or bigner wages and for fewer bours of labor. They had been receiving nine pence (eighteen ceuts) an hour, They demanded ten pence (tweuty cents) au hour, and that each working day be reduced to eight hours. Tne omployers refused, and two montns Jater an advertisement appeared in the New York papers asking for stonecuiters to go to Eagland and work for ninepence an hour. After soine delay fifty. eight men were engaged, and on the 10\h of October they embarkod for England in the steamer Elysia, A paper to the following effect was signed by oach workingman ;— . Memorandum of agrooment entered into between Thomas O'Brien, of New York, ang Stanley G.

ARRIVAL If LONDON, Mr. Booth, one of the iirm of contractors, met the stone cutting pilgrims at Gravesend and brought them to Templo pior, where they were to work. Quarters wero assigned thom at the Sussex Hotel, which 1s a kind of New York Fourth ward den, where dghting and drinking are the features of the place, fhe uewly arrived mon soemed well pleased, howover, and on reaching the hotel they cheered the contractor and expressed their readiness to begin work on tho following moruing. Ho left them jubilant. But ho had hardly reached bis carriage before picked mem- bers of the Masons’ Comfitteo of the London Trades’ Union swarmed imto’ the house and began to untold a moving tale of their wrongs. The Ameri- can heart was soon won, and on that very night the guests accompanied their new friends in a body to their headquarters atthe Sun lao, There the cause of the striky was explained in suoma way that tho Awericans declared that they had been deceived, They suid they Knew littie or nothing about the troubles when they signed the contract to go to London, aud they seemed to get entirely new ideas of toe situation beture them.

In their petition to Congress for an increase of salary, tho letter carriers of New York sot forth, in substance, that they begin work at six A.
