Editors Dispatch: Your correspondent
Mr.. A. P. Rowe ayais himself OF your col
umns to advertise himself under the guise
OF assaiIing the Executive Committee Of the
State Society indirectly, and directly the
chief OF the seventh department.: In justice
! TO the committee and TO myself l reluctant
II ask the privilege of replying.
Mr.. A. p. Rowe is singularly unfortu-
nate in his statement of 'sincontroyertible
facts" The chief gave no such instruc-
tons to his superintendent as Dir. Rowe
states in his characteristic article. His in
structions were 10 begin with long woods
and their grades in the pens nearest TO the
entrance-gates; then, middle woods and
their grades, fine woods, &c. The stock
gate was not mentioned. This order was
given to systemiZe the different breeds and
to facilitate the work OF the Judges. When
I arrived on the grounds about IL O'Clock
on Monday found the pens generally &C.
cupied-some OF them crowded-and Mr.
a. P. Rowe's flock enclosed by crates and
boxes. l Immediately called for the car
penters who were engaged in another
bart OF the grounds, and advised Mr..
Rowe to classify his stock and con-
fine them in separate enclosures OF boxes
till suitable pens could be prepared. I did
not make the comprehensive declaration
that s. too much stock was brought to the
Fair" but that he brought too Tnuch; that
the Society wished on exhibition only the
best specimens OF the different breeds, and
not promiscuous herds or focks. Ii all the
pens were occupied OF taken, as be admits,
could he Justly complain OF having to wait
till others could be built? AS soon rs car
penters could be had all the available ground
was covered with new pens, and they had
to be sub divided to accommodate Mr..
Rowe. He insinuates, most unworthily,
that members of the Executive Committee
claim greater privileges as exhibitors than
others, and thinking il would he high trea-
son TO interfere with one Of them, he deter
mined to wait for further developments.
He assigns 10 reason for his illiberal Think
ing, and reflects on the committee collective
ly by an offensive insinualion. AS exhibitors,
members OF the committee have equal and no
greater privileges than others, and are not
likely to submit to an infringement OF them
by any one Indifferent to the Just rights of
others. Others besides Mr.. Rowe had sheep
OF different classes most uncomfortably
crowded into a single pen, but, approaching
the situation, made no complaint. II the
ground is available ii might be well for the
FAIRGROUNDS committee to inquire into the
eXpediency OF having erected by the next
Fair at least one hundred pens and stalls
Tor Mr.. Rowe's. exclusive accommodation.
Possibly he would then be gratifed with
first instead OF second premiums; and per-
hapS there would be less noise, confusion,
and complaint, and to those connected with
the seventh and other departments more
quiet enjoyment Of the consciousness OF
having faithfully discharged their duties.

DECISION As TO MEMBERS R1GHTs IN BEN

DECISION AS TO MEMBERS RIGHTS IN BEN
EFT S0CIETIES.-A decision was rendered
in case in the Marine Court Monday by
Judge McAdam which will be of interest to
| all members OF charitable or benefit societies.
| John Alderman on January Is, 1874, be-
came o member of the benevolent associa-
| ton known as the Order Germania, and so
continued until his death, January %, 1877.
According to the bylaws OF the order $1,000
was to be paid to the representatives OF the
deceased, or to any person he might deslg-
nate 10 receive it, within thirty days after
his death. The deceased designated his wife
10 receive the money, and was himself at
the time OF his death a member in good
standing and free OF debt, his payments, al
though little behind time, having been ac-
cepted. The officers of the order paid to his
widow $50, but refused TO pay her any
more, basing this refusal on the ground
that the bylaws contained provision that
unless the payments OF fines and dues were
made at the times mentioned therein the
member defaulting should be deprived OF
all benefits for the space OF thirteen weeks
from the time such payment was actually
made, and that in consequence OF such non
payment at the time appointed the widow
had no right Of action. deceased owed
nothing" Judge McAdam says in his deci-
sion, IS ut the time OF his death. and was in
contemplation of law member in good
standing, and his widow, under the desig-
nation made, became, as necessary conse-
quence, entitled to the $1,000. A governing
rule with corporations is that their bylaws
must be reasonable, and all which are veX-
atious, unequal. oppressive, or manifestIy
detrimental to the corporation and its men,
bers are void. The bylaw under which the
defendant seeks to avoid the widows claim
is one Of this kind. II it had provided that
delinquent members be deprived OF benefits
during delinquency it would be otherwise;
but the bylaw subjects the member and his
representative to penalty after the pay
ment of his dues and the performance Of his
duty, and for the prospective period Of thr-
teen weeks. The deprivation is, therefore,
based upon the omission of duty which has
been discharged, although not technically
according to the bylaw. The provision
urged in defence being illegal for the rea-
sons stated forms no bar to tue widows
right to recover. judgment must be award
ed IN favor OF the plaintiff for $3.50, with in
terest and costs. and two-and-one-half per
cent. allowance. "-Neoo Yorc Herald.
