The case Of Barth agt. Heider ct Al, was
taken up. In this case the facts are that in

tember following obtained judgement for $500
and cost. Complainant alleges that no part Of
judgement has beer paid, and the writ OF fa
Heider, by deed, in April, 1865, conveyed GER
tain real estate to VIM. Heider and VIM. Berg
man in trust for Mary Heider and her children;
Hei,ier was seized. He charges that said deed
was made for the purpose of hindering, delaying
and defrauding complainant, and without valua-
pie consideration. The defendant admits the
returned nsIla bona that the deed was made but
not for the purpose Of defrauding complainant;
that long before he had promised to make the
conveyance to his wife; denies that he had any
part in the arrest in question, which was the
work of Metropolitan detective, since de-
ceased, and he did not appear on the prelimi-
nary hearing against him, and the case was dis
missed. In the Equity Court, in October, 1869,
q decree was made declaring the deed fraudu-
lent and setting ii aside, and ordered the sale of
the the real estate to pay the judgment On the
argument, approved and confirmed the decree,
and on the same day defendants prayed an ap-
peal: The defendants contend that at the time
the deed was made the complainant was not q
creditor, unless he was a creditor at the date of
the suit and states that he has other property
subject to execution; that the complainant must
set forth the date of issuing the ii. ia and the
actual return; that a creditor cannot file his
bill until after the return day Of the f. fa issued
on his judgment; that the return day Of 4. ia. is
sixty days from the date it goes into the Mar
shall's hands; that the charge of fraudulent in
tent alleged in the bill must be shown; that the
allegations in the bill having been met and sworn
away by defendants answer, and the COM
plainant having set the cause for hearing on bin
answer. thereby faufn
of the answer is true, hence the bill should have
been dismissed with costs; that at the time of
making, executing and recording of the deed of
trust the complainant was not cred tor of said
John F. Heider, and only became a creditor
from the date of his judgment, and a voluntary
conveyance by grantOr not indebted at the
time cannot re impeached by subsequent credi-
tors upon the mere ground of its being volun-
tary.

To tie Editor Of The iStar:-In your paper Of
Tuesday, you state that L gave ticket Of ad-
mission to the Franklin School to so colored
child" Permit me to say that have not done
this, a. il would be violation of the present
school law. When the mother Of the child
referred to called upon me for tickets for two Of
her children, I had no suspicion that she was
other than white woman, until she made her
self known. then asked to see her children,
and found one to be Is white Is ordinary
"Caucasians" born at the north, while the other,
though slightly tawpy, vas not moro SO than
most children of Europeans born I'm southern
latitude. was moreover informed by the
mother that the children were not re-
ported at the last census as "colored,o
and consequently must have been reckoned
among the 6whites" In determining the division
Of the school fund. Under these circumstances,
having been assured by competent authority
that there IL no legal rule for Interpreting the
meaning Of the word 'white" In the school law
As against my own eyes and my own Judgment,
decided that these children should be properly
classed As ,cAite, and issued tickets accordinely
have only to add, that II any person feels
aggrieyed at my decision, trust he or she win
take steps to have the question brought before
a competent tribunal, that we may have legal
rule established, and thus the Trustees be r.
lieved from perplexity In like cases.

by Mr.. Holmes, one Of the members, against
William A. Cook, Esq, Corporation Attorney,
to the effect that he had been sentenced to the
itentiary for malteasance in office, have been
In session for some days past, but the parties
foremost in making the charges refuse to appear
and testify. The committee will quite certainly
find that they are on the wrong track, and that
there is not the shade Of shadow of foundation
for the charge We know that prominent MEM
bers Of Congress and others from Pennsylvania,
who knew Mr.. Cook when a resident Of that
State, give him the highest character. The
story is In fact SO absurd that Mr.. Cook can well
afford to laugh at it.

ASSAULT AND RoBBKRY.-A desperate as
sau!t was made on Monday night, between and
spected fellow-citizen, A. H. Young, grocer, on
9Th street. Mr.. Young was proceeding from
his store at that hour to his dwelling, corner of
sth and n streets, and as he was entering the
gate Of the public square opposite his residence,
he was attacked by the persons alluded to, who
sprang upon him suddenly, one of them choking
MIN, while the other beat him about the body.
He was knocked down and rendered inseusible.
and while in that condition his pockets were
rified of the small amount Of change he hap
pened to have about him. The robbers then
decamped, and Mr.Y having recovered strength
enough CROPPED his way home i'm very damaged
condition. He has been confined to his bed
since the transaction, though no dangerous
place in front of police station, situated on the
opposite side Of the street, and if it does not
show remissness on the part of the officers, ii
certainly proves that the lives of our citizens,
even in the most populcus parts of the city are
in danger from outlaws and highwaymen.
