The Vanderbilt Will Contest.

Mrs Mary A. La Ban, the contestant of the
Vanderbilt will, applied by her counsel Scott
Lord, yesterday, to Surrogate Calvin for en- Or
der that the executors pay her, by way of ad.
vance, at least $50, OO0: Der petition sets out
that her share in her fathers estate after de-
Quoting all specific legaces, would be, if the re-
sidusry clause be overrued, upward of $5C00.
000 and that under the will she had specific
bequest of an interest in bonds, under which
$l2, 0CO is now due her as interest," that she has
now an income not more than sufficient to sup.
pert herself and her family of four children
in moderate comfort, and that during the
present year she has been subjected to e1trsor-
bate Of the will, and is unable to pay them and
support herself and family in a manner appro.
pirate 10 their station and condition In life. She
therefore prays for an order directing the exec.
utors to pay her, cut Of the personal estate Of
her late father, such sum as the Surrogate may
deem proper-not less than $50 0C0-as an ad-
vance on account Of her legacy if the will is lin-
ally confirmed
Tho motion was not formally discussed, but in
the course of the informal talk before the Sur
gate Henry l. Clinton, the counsel for VIM. 81.
Vanderbilt said that, IS he understood the stat
ute the Surrogate mad no power 10 grant such
an advance. He should further contend that
Mrs. La Bsu was not in need Of tho money, and
had no right to divert the funds Of the estate to
maintain her suit.
Mr.. Lord, with some warmth, replied that the
statute was not as limited as Mr.. Clinton claim
ed, and was never intended to prevent person
from m aintsining her legal rights or using what
must be hers to support them. No Injustice
could be done the executors, for they could pay
this sum with perfect safety, or the Surrogate
might require security.
The motion was then adj ourned until Friday
next.-N Y. Tribune Nop. 3d.

The prospects of a country are by no means
favorable when its people lose all respect for

will,in future, give themiless cause to complain
of him, they remain implacable, and arc only
restrained from attacking him openly by the
knowledge of the futility of such au attack by
reason of the effective support he would reeelve
from the democrats. MIR. Hayes being scosl-

him the harshncss of which can ouy be assuaged

pledged to all that he may propose tor the
