.e-s5" IMPORTANT LAwsUfT.-For number
of years past lawsuits by the heirs Of Stephen
Girard have been pending in Schuylkill
county, to recover possession of eighty-five
hundred acres of coal land in Mahanoy
Valley, fourteen miles above Pottsville. An
action of eiectment was brought against the
city of Philadelphia by Augustus Girard,
John Fabricus Girard and other heirs, and
at the end of last week was decided in favor
of the heirs. The decision was made by
Judge Higgins of Pottsville.
Stephen Girard died in 1881, and his Will
is dated February 10th, 1880.
Among the points raised by the plaintiffs
was the following.
"That the devise in trust to apply the
rent of the real estate in Pennsylvania, first
to the erection of new buildings upon so
much thereof as is situate in the city and
liberties of Philadelphia, from time to time,
as the same may be necessary, has no limita-
ton as to time when such piling up of cap
ital by the accumulation as aforesaid is to
cease, but the same may continue beyond the
period fixed for the vesting of an cxecutory
limitation, and is therefore void"

not permit the use of this sacred edce for anything

Justice, it could not be had especially when its

The Presidents visit to the French frigate
Gasscndt, this afternoon, was an event of
historical importance. 1t was the first time
a President ever went on board foreign
vessel O. war, and the first French vessel of
war that ever came to Washington.
The President was received with all the
honors paid crowned head, being the same
as are usually shown the emperor of France.
The yards were Manned the ship was
dressed with flags, the American national
ensign floatcd at the main and the French
flag at the fore, mizzen and peak. The ma.
tional salute was fired on the Presidents
arrival and again on his departure.
Admiral Reynaud received him at the foot
of the ladder, and the seamen seven times
shouted "Vird Ia President !" on his arriving
and leaving. Captain Gautier entertained
him Hospitality in his cabin, and presented
the officers of the ship. The President was
attended at the landing by full guard Of
marines and the band, who played a nation
al air. Captain Dahlgren and the othel
officers of the Yard received him in body
The President was accompanied on boarc
by the Secretary of State and Capt Dahlgren
The French Minister was on board to receiv,
him and present his countrymen. The re
ception was a gratifying one to the Presi
dent, and the affair passed off to their mutu
al satisfaction, and was deemed happ,
augury for the future amicablc relations o
| the two countries.

.V Rev. Mr. RIzER, of the Lutheran Church of
this place preached his farewell sermon on Sunday
last to large congregation. Mr.. RiLer has many
warm friends in this place outside of his church
members, among whom he was also popular. But he
took patriotic stand, and even offered his services
in the army, in which he remained as chaplain while
his health permitted. This brought down upon him

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
CAMP WINFIELD ScoTT, April 26.
To the Hon. EDWIN NJ. STANTON, Secretary
of War
Early this morning an advanced lunette of
the Rebels on this side of the Warwick, near
its head, was carried by assault by Company
II, First Massachusetts, Regiment. The
works had a ditch six feet deep, with strong
parapet, and was manned by two companies
of infantry, but no artillery.
Our men moved over open, soft grount,
some six hundred yards, received the fire of
the Rebels at fifty yards, did not return it,
but rushed over the ditch and parapet in the
most gallant manner. The rebels broke and
ran as soon as they saw our men intended to
cross the parapet.
Our loss is three killed, one mortally and
twelve otherwise wounded.
We took fourteen prisoners. and destroyed
| the work sufficiently to render it useless, and
retired.
The operation was conducted by General
c. Grover, who managed the affair most
handsomely. Nothing could have been
better than the conduct of all the men under
fire. The supports, who were also under the
artillery fire of other works; were companies
of the First and Eleventh Massachusetts.
In spite of the rain our work progresses
well.

to say, that We have now the most beautifully en-

of ofdisposton, which was very pleasing, they sodded
the front of both the marquceslaid brick pavement
from the walk to the entranco-planed five beautiful
trees in front, and otherwise bcautified the whole
premises. While it must be born in mind that the
greatest part of the above material had TO be carried
from half to mile. The men improved their own
premises also. And L do assure you it truly
refreshing TO all concerned TO turn from the continual
use of arms and wearying drill TO the gentle and
wholesome work Of peace such as that named above
Just two two days, spent in this way, did the men
more good than all the services and moral lectures
that could be talked to them in month. They 20
