The Schuyler Fraud; Important Law Question.
[from the New Haven Palladium, July 81


New YORK AND New HAVEN RA1LRoAD.-Some of
the Wall street papers appear to have come rather
hastily to the conclusion that the holders of the fraud
ulent stock certificates peged by the late President
and transfer agent for his individual liabilities, are
entitled to be recognized by the company as stock
holders thereby increasing the capital of the compa
ny from So, 100000 to S., 100000
But the charter of the company, Sec 2 provides
s'that the capital stock of the company shall be $2,
0OO00O with the privilege of increasing the same to
100000, and to be devided into shares of S1O0
each to be transferable in such and at such
places the bylaws of SAID company shall direct"
Neither the directors nor stockholders even, have
power to increase the number of shares beyond the
prescribed limit How then can it be claimed that an
agent entrusted with the duty simply of attending to
the transfer of shares authorized by the charter can by
a fraudulent certificate of stock which has no exis-
tence thereby effect what the President Directors and
Company have no power by their charter TO do
themselves, or to ratify when done by others!
The charter of this company is Connecticut char
ter and the Supreme Coort of Errors have recently
decided that the corporation be estopped from
denying the validity of contract made in its
by the agent of the company in persuance of known
public usage, if the contract was which the char
ter did not authorize even though the consideration
for the contract had gone into the Treasury of the
company.
1t is understood that the fraudulent certificates of
stock hypothecaed by the transfer agent for the liza
bilities of the firm of which he member, being
evidenced only by his own signature, were issued in
amounts which ought to have put upon his guard any
man of ordinary prudence. SToCKHoLDER.

The Country Girl.

The Country Girl.
BY MRS. NJ A. DENISoN.
Her bright young face was like the May,
When blue and bloom bent together;
And by the mows of fresh heaped hay,
Her quick tread brushed the scented heather.
Healths brightest jewels gemmed the zone,
Her cheek was dainty white and crimson
Her eye beneath her lashes shone
Like blue, blue flowers with golden rims on
The fresh winds blew her curls from place,
Till round her neck like amber drifted,
They glitterng hung-and her sweet face
No silks laid in the old home chest,
No gewgaw claSped her wrist finger;
She deemed a modest garb the best,
And by the home-hearth loved to linger.
Nor rout nor gaudy theatre,
Nor lustrcd ball room filed with beauty,
Nor dashing mein had charms for her
Whose round of life was love of duty.
But from the cages in the wind,
Outright faced boughs and leaves in futter.
She'd often pause to hear what "Lind,
With all her skill yet failed to utter
The silvery piping of the bird
The fiute-tones of the sunrise singer,
These richest notes are ever heard,
Could the sweet peace of angels bring her.
And in the morn, at sultry noon,
At eve and night her soft voice chanted;
SO that the old house smiled like June,
And every nook seemed beauty-haunted:
And blessings followed her whose grace
And every gift lent perfect pleasure
Yet though her charms made rare her face,
The heart that coined them was the treasure.

SNEEZING CoURT.-The Cincinnati Columbian
must be held responsible for the following:
During the progress of the examination of Mink
house and Leary, for outrage upon an idiot girl
as reported elsewhere, some person or persons not
having due sense OF the awful majesty of the law
or the dignity of the court scattered vilIainous
mixture OF snuff, Cayenne pepper Bakery bark, and
most probably slight sprinkng of cowbage about
the room. 1t happened at the time that the audience
was extremely large, and of that mixed description
that generally congregatc about the purleus of
Court OF Justice. The insinuating dust soon began
TO take effect concert of sneeZng mixed with
coughing first among the outsiders made it mpossi-
BILE to understand one word from either Judge law
yer, witness or prisoner.
"Sience" shouted the marshal.
Sian ci.ch chee- -lence p sneezed the deputy.
BY this time the epidemic had extended to within
the bar and there was much coughing and sneezing
as ever was heard within the House of Representa-.
tVes during drowsy speech of an unpopular orator
"Open Though win chez -chee-chee dow; Oh Lord!'
exclaimed the prosecuting attorney
Il suggest-ah-chee-t e-tlat they be chiz turned
out, gasped another lawyer.
The Judge, who by this time had coughed and
Ieezed, until his face red as the comb of a
turkey cock, was struck by the idea, and posse of
officers being called from below, cleared the room of
the unhappy multitude. who upon their egress into
the street gave such concerted diaboIical sneeze
that couple of horses that were hitched outside,
became scared, and breaking their brides scampered
frantically away.

Street PreachIng-Churcfs Burning.

No one can look through the newspapers of the
country without being struck with the great increase
of crime, chiefly in large northern cities. Every
form of crime seems 10 be on the increase There is
one, however that has recently been repeated with
an alarming and most disgraceful frequency church
burning. Mobs Of excited fanatics melted and led
on by impious vagabond street preachers, have eth
er burnt otherwise destroyed many of the sacred
buildings that have been dedicated by Catholics to
the worship of God. Most of the churches, howev-
er, that have been destroyed have been destroyed
under cover of the darkness and by unknown per-
sons.
When streetpreaching, which at best is but nui-
sance has become instrument in the hands of hypo-
critics and rascals to nstgate mobs of fools and ia
natcs to breaches of the peace public disturbances.
and the destruction of churches it is time that these
streetpreaches should be arrested in their mad career
and punished with the utmost severity of the law
The quarrels, broils, and fights between the Pro-
testants and Catholics are the increase. They
are stimulated by these vagabond sreet-preachers,
who, We are inclined to think, are generally merely
the catspaws of certain political associations whose
Interests it is to keep alive the euds between the
tlves and the foreigners the Protestants and the
Catholics. The sermons Of these bowling blasphe-
mers do not manifest any of the characteristics OF
true religion. They coarse TRADES and bitter in
vectives against al who differ from them either in
birth religion.
