NEW YORK FOUNDING ASYLUM.

For some time there has been pending IN the
Court OF Common Pleas the Morgan divorce suit.
and the matter is now undergoing investigation
before referee. The action, as heretofore stated
In the HERALD was brought by the husband. and
one OF the charges In the complaint upon which
the suit for divorce Is founded Is that Mrs. Morgan
has given birth to an ilegiumate child and
tnat this child was given by the mother in
charge of the sisters Of Charity having control OF
the Founding Asylum at present located in Six
ty-eighth street. near Third avenue With a
view to obtain evidence on this point q subpoena
was issued commanding Sister Irene, the Supe-
Rtoress to produce the books OF the institution Tor
inspection. Acting upon the advice OF Mr., John
z. Develin her counsel, her reply to the subpoena
was that she would do nothing Of the kind. Op-
posing counsel upon this procured from the Court
sf Co mmon Pleas order directing Sister Irene
to appear in court and show cause why an attach
nent should not be issued against her for con-
Sempt of court. The cause was then argued at
great length, counsel Tor Sister Irene submitting
tries OF a confidential nature affecting the
peace OF numerous private families; that
tBe asylum was regularly chartered as
corporation; that no Oficer OF a corporation
has control oi its books except Tor the purpose OF
the corporation; that the books in question were
not for inspection; that the sisters decidedly OBJ
tected 10 allowing third parties to look over the
books: that the application was too indefinite, and
that no particular entry or statement was asked
5or. The Court, at the close OF the argument va
Gated the order. The case was up again yester-
DAY before Judge Robinson In Common Pleas,
Chambers, on an application for an order OF the
Court to produce the books. The same ground
was travelled over again. Mr.. Devein, counsel for
Sister Irene now took the ground that there Is no
law to compel her 70 disclose anything as to the
nature OF the entries on the books OF the asylum.
Judge Robinson reserved his decision until ne has
consulted the authorities

sTomorrow and tomorrow ana tomorrow N
Tnis was the almost universal Plea put in yester-
DAY In Supreme Court Chambers, by lawyers as
sheir cases called. In other words there was
. very heavy calendar, as there always is for the
arst Monday OF the month; but the counsel were
mot ready and asked for delay. II the old
story verified, ''The laws delays" Judge West
brook OF Ulster county, who held Chambers two
months ago, presided, and will hold the Court
during the month In the Superior Court Cham
pors held by Judge Curtis, as also in the Court OF
Common Pleas, held by Judge Robinson, there
we're likewise heavy calendars, but here there was
che same asking for delay. 1t is very evident that
there VIII not be much doing in the courts until
yhe opening OF the October term.
In the Marine Court parts /, and 8, presided
over for the term by Judges Gross, Spanldlng ana
McAdam, heavy calendars are the order OF the
day. Cases that were called on which lawyers
we're not ready for trial were set down peremp-
toriy for stated days within the term. The busi-
ness OF the Court Is SO much on the increase that
no alternative is lett TO the JUDGES but summary
disposition OF cases, either by trial or to strike
the cases on the calendar and thus make room for
Others IN which all the parties interested are
ready to 20 on.

THE SAILORS GRIEVANCES.

| Oppositten to the Boarding House
| Keepers Authority-In Increased Wages
Demanded--A Mass Meeting OF seamen N
to BE Held.
meeting OF the new organization known as
the .Seamen's Protective Association OF the
United Stases'' was held at Botanic Hail, on East
Broadway near Market street. at two O'Clock yes
| terday afternoon. Several hundred sailors were
present ami the proceedings were quite lively.
The association was formed about o week ago for
the ostensible purpose Of opposing the Seamen's
Boarding House Keepers Benevolent Association
from shipping crews In sailing vessels at reduced
rates. and for the purpose OF regulating the pay OF
the seamen In future. J, 7. Arnett, President In
calling the meeting to order. was quite severe IN
his illusions to United States Shipping COmmis-
sioner Duncan, whom he characterzes as the
enemy, not the friend, OF the sailor. The Seamen's
Exchange, he said, was erected for the purpose OF
afIording protection to seamen, but, instead OF
being q protection TO them, 1t was an expense,
and made an extra master for the sailor Before
the ONCE OF Shipping Commissioner was provided
for by the wiseacres In Congress the sailor had but
one master on shore, this one being his boarding
master. He was quite suffcient; but now the
Commissioner had the power to say, and does say,
that tne sailor shall take such wages as the Cap
the return and discharge OF crews II there should
be any case In dispute Mr.. Z. Q. Duncan deter
mines the case, anu ne uRO ucNtT u Sptdks
ers knowledge, decided IN favor 0l poor JACK.
Mr.. Arnett thought 1t would be well II Mr.. Duncan
had some one to look alter him as sharply as he
looked alter the sailor.
Resolutions were adopted to resist what the
sailors term the payment Of ''blO0d money" In
future.
A schedule Of wages was presented ana adopted
by the meeting, the members piedgng themselves
to ABIDE by the new rates, and to ship for no less
pay IN iuture. The rates fixed are as fOnOws:-
Deep water, $50 per month and two months ad-
vance; Mediterranean and south America, on
the Atlantic side, $40 per month and $26 in ad-
vance; West indies and Western Islands, $25 per
month and one months wages IN advance; coast
wise, $50 per month and $40 advance; north OF
Cape Florida, So per month, aud south Of
$50 advance for American ships, and $50 per
month aud $35 advance Tor foreign ships.
DR.. ThOmS. oil the NAUTICAL Academy addressed
the meeting, and characterized the demands OF
the Boarding House Association for the sailors as
extravaganJ and such az should be resisted. He
endorsed luiiy the objects oil the new organization
and expressed The hope that 1t might accomplish
much good.
John Evans, Secretary, John Caruthers and sev.
eral others made addresses and nearly two hun
dred persons enrolled themselves as members Of
the association. The question OF having a street
procession and mass meeting was discussed aud
y resolution TO that effect agreed to. The meeting
was quite orderly though earnest, but one drunken
m4n-a lOnQshOreman-being in attendance.

decided is, which Of the existing

Precisely as We underestimate the
benefits Of the genial sunshine and

because they are withuot price
though indispensably to existence,
so are We undertaking the Blessings

strong enough to guard the national

of foreign nat;ons-and At the same
time guaranteeing the most COM

the pursuit Of happiness" to all its
citizens. A survey Of ootempora-
neous history diacloses the fact that
many of the most civilized nations
have been rent by revolutions and
distressed by foreign wars; and
even our own has been taught BY
the late terrible rebellion the lesson
that it is highly dangerous to in
