$50 GREENWICH STREET |
NEW YORK, Feb Il, 1873.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
DEAR SIR-The report IN your paper under the
conspicuous heading ga Real Estate Transaction
is gross perversion of the facts. ODonnell is not
a lawyer and never was associated with me in
business, and the opinion does not say so. The
plaintiff, O'Donncll, was never my Client On the
contrary, l brought an action against him
for another person OF the same name, and
recovered Judgment after trial. Failing to COL
lect the Judgment, an execution was issued and we
were forced to sell his real estate. The law allowed
him fifteen months in which to redeem the prop
erty after the sale, but, although both he and his
attorney know OF the sale, no steps were taken to
redeem. All this is In evidence and not disputed.
i bought the property, | may say, accidentally,
having attended the sale to see to the interests of
my client, and, no one being present, bought the
property myself Tor an amount sufficient to pay the
judgment and the Sherin's fees. knew nothing of
the property, and took risk in buying and had
would be redeemed, and paid no more attention to
1t for year. when l wrote to O'Don-
neil to cali o and pay the Judgment
Sherir in few months. also communicated with
his attorney, but no action was taken by
either OF them. The Sheriff ut the end of fifteen
months conveyed the property to me, but | never
LOOK any action under me deed except to demand,
In possession, collecting his rents regularly, and
although could have dspossessed him nearly
year ago did not. His action against me was to
set aside the sherlt's sale, alleging certain tech
meal irregularities on the part OF the Sheriff.
Judge Sedgwick, in his certainly able and we'll
considered opinion, finds that there were certain
technical irregularities in the notices published by
the Sheriff sufficient to invaidate the SALE and so
decides. But he takes occasion to say that
my integrity and fairness in the matter can
not be impeached. This you did not publish.
l am authorized by Messrs. Bushnell & Albright,
the plaintiffs attorneys, TO say that your report Is
very unjust, and that they never in their proceed
tngs even pretended that my actions could be ques.
toned in a moral point, and that they relied upon
success. would add that offered to reconvey the
property to O'DOnncll on receiving a compensation
for trouble and time lost, but he refused to accept
my offer. Yours, &C., WILLIAM LINDSAY.

son, the lessee OF the road, to recover $4,000 dam
ages, and Yesterday the case came up for trial.
The defence said that the plaintin was elected
from the car on account OF his Indecent behavior

Persistent Attempt to Commit a Tene-
mcnt to the Flames.
Repeated cases of arson have recently been
brought to light in Brooklyn, and several parties
are now awaiting the action OF the Grand Jury for
setting fire to buildings. The latest incendiary act
reported by the Fire Marshal is remarkable for the
persstency OF the efforts Of the unknown scOun-
drel to consign the building to the flames. The
structure upon which the attempt was made is
two story and attic tenement frame house, NO. $50
Baltic street, and is occupied by twenty persons
On the night of the 14th inst board partition in
the cellar was saturated with Kerosene Oil and
was set on fire. The smoke penetrated through
the floor, but the flames did not The inmates re-
tired for the night. Fortunately the fire died out
in the cellar, and human holocaust was spared.
The stairway OF the tenement is narrow, and es-
cape for those domiciled on the upper floor would
have been attended with difficulty. On Thursday
night last another diabocal attempt was made
to fire the place by studing bundle Of
Oil rags in between the boards Of the
floor In the cellar. The floor was
considerably burned, but the fire failed to gain
much Roadway ere 1t was discovered. The authors.
ties are of the opinion that the incentive is re-
yenge, and every effort win be made to apprenend
the guilty party. The property Is owned by Arte-
mus Cady OF the COmptroler's Office, New York.

Major wallace vi. spear.

We regret to learn of the death of Major
Wallace NJ Spear, which occurred at the
residence of DIR. J. III. Putnam in Ludlow,
on Saturday last. He was known to many
of our citizens having made frequent visits
to his relatives here. Major Spear was a
native of Ludlow. He was civil engineer
by profession and was engaged in the early
survey of the Rutland and Burlington rail-
road, also of the Western Vermont railroad
and subsequently on the Western railroads
He was located for several years at La
Cross, Wisconsin, in the practice of his
profession, and on the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion enlisted in the Second
Wisconsin Heavy Artillery being one of
its regimcntal officers At the close of the
war he received the appointment of chief
engineer at the navy yard in Pensacola,
Florida. He remained at that station near
ly three years when at his .reo',est -ha .Mas
Virginia, and has occupied the position of
chief engineer at that place since.
He has long been patient sufferer from
that dreaded disease consumption, which
had fixed its fatal fangs upon him, and
feeling that his strength was rapidly fail
ing he came to Vermont about six weeks
ago-hoping to gain strength and benefit
from the purity of the atmosphere
OF his native mountains, but alas for his
hopes, it was but to die at the old home
stead, receiving the kind care of an aged
mother and the faithful attentions of de-
voted sister. He passed away where most
OF all he could have wished to die in the
presence of the loved of earth, in his native
village, and be laid to rest beneath the
shadows of the mountains amid which he
had spent his earlier and happier years.

A "pAuDv ATTORNEY.

What do men or corporations employ
attorneys forT It'll generally supposed that
they employ them on account of their legal
abilities, and to perform legal services. II
a lawyer, by a lifetime of study, has
placed himself in the front rank of his
profession, he certainly ought to expect and
receive more important class of business,
and higher rate of compensation, than
when he was mere tyrO in business.
Men, or corporations, who have the most
important legal controversies, would nat
urally employ some of the most eminent
lawyers to take charge thereof, rather than
one who had barely read Blackstone and
Kent, and, perhaps, looked over the stat
utes and book of forms. There is no
such particular fascination in mastering the
dry details of law, that one would devote
years of toll and study thereto, without
the hope of rising in his profession and re-
ceiving large and increasing rewards for
his services. Because lawyer is employed
by wealthy man or corporation, and paid
therefor, is he any the better or worse for
such employment? If railroad corpora
ton has important litigation--and everyone
knows that they have plenty of it-have
they not the right to employ lawyer of
ability and eminence in his profession to
attend to it, and pay him therefor? If a
lawyer accepts such a retainer, does his
duty by his clients and receives his pay. ia
hethereby rendered unworthy of confidence
and, consequently, tobe prescribed 1t may
seem strange that any such questions
should be asked, but the heads of a certain
class OF men-sOme of whom are conduc.
tors of newspapers-seem to have been
turned upon this subject. We say seem,
because we look upon 1t as q species of
demagogueism, and an attempt to curry
favor with the farmers, rather than honest
expressions of opinion. We have conf
dence, however, IN the intelligence of the
farmers, to believe that the game won't
work. Take them as class, so far as we
know them, they like to see fair play, and
while demanding that corporations shall
not impose upon the people, they will, at
the same time, willingly concede to them
all the rights to which they are entitled.
We do not believe farmer can be found.
certainly not in Vermont, who, if he had
an important lawsuit, would hesitate to
employ an attorney from the fact that he
was, or had been, one of those much
abused ''paid railroad lawyers" '''
The death of Salmon p. Chase rendered
the position of Chief Justice of the Su.
preme Court of the United States vacant,

BRUTAL AssAULT.-At Bald Mountain. N.
T., some time since man was discharged by
one of the bosses at the quarry for intem-
perancc. On Tuesday evening the boss
went to saloon and notified the men who
were there that if they came to work in
toxicated he would discharge them all.
Their who had been discharged came out
and high words passed between the two,
when the man finally picked up large
piece of limestone and striking the boss in
the back of the head felled him senseless to
the ground. While on the ground the
brute pounded him severely with stone.
The boss at last accounts was in critical
condition. The names of the parties we
have been unable to procure.
