A Manly Letter from Gen. Terry, in srhieh
He -1nnomaces His Change Of Opinions.
Fort SMELLING, Mimi, Nov 10, 1882.
DEAR GENERAL: Will you permit me to-
express to you the very great qualification
with which have read your article in the
North American RereisU? Dealing, as it
does, with only the great essential points
of Porters case, and brushing aside as
unworthy of serious notice all the petty
sophistries with which his opponents have
sought 10 confuse the public mind,it seems
to me that it must carry conviction to ev-
cry fair, unprecedented man.
The questions involved in Porter's case
are, of course, partly legal and partly
military. Long ago the best legal authori-
ty of the country-such men as B. r.
| Curtis, Charles O'Co1ioor, and Daniel Lord
declared that the rules Of law we're vio-
lated by the conviction of Porter, even as
the case stood before the court martials;
| and now that the highest military authori-
ty of the nation has pronounced in his.
favor upon the military questions, what Is
| there left for the government and the peo-
| pie to do except to hasten to make such
| reparation as may yet be possible for the
wrong which has been done?
AS perhaps you know, once, like your--
| self, believed Porter to be guilty. I be-
| Geved that he had committed a crime SO
great that mere human law could provide
no adequate punishment for it. But when
isbecame my duty to examine into the
case carefully, 1 found that I had grossly
erred. l found that Instead of being
criminal he was martyr
| So believing, it is & source of very great
| satisfaction to IAe that I have borne some
small part in his vindication
! Looking back over the years which have,
| elapsed since I entered the military ser
| vice, find nothing that gives me SO much
| pleasure as the fact that 7 have had some
| part in that vindication, and I can think
OF nothing in the future which would be
so grateful to me- as to be able so do some
thing more in behalf OF one who has sui
fered so grievousiy and SO uujustly. While
l feel thus, you may imagine the gratifi-
cation with which I find that the opinion
which now ente-tain, that what believe
to bs the cause Of truth. OF right and of
justice, IS so strongly supported by your
self; and you viii pardon me, am sure.
for expressing to you my feelings. Very
sincerely and respectfully,
! ALFRED Fl. TERRY.

Syllabus That under the evidence
and instructions of the court in this case.
the verdict of the jury necessarily sstab-
lished the facts:
First, That the relation of landlord and
tenant never existed between the parties
to this action.
Second, That the shelving and drawers
described in the complaint were erected
and placed in defendants building by
plaintiff under license from defendant,
and under and agreement that
plaintiff might remove tho same at
pleasure. Hence they never
became part of the realty, but preserved
their character asythe personal chattels of
plaintiff.
Held also, That having been erected and
placed in defendants building under this
license and agreement, and being capable
of being severed and removed without ma
terial injury to the building, an action for
their wrongful conversion and to recover
their value will be against the defendant

remove the same. and refusal on his part.

against the reduction OF the rate of post

| when there was national debt OF $1,40O,-
| 0so0,O0s? It was not the poor people but
| the commercial interests that paid the tax.
These interests were the interests which de-
manaed the reduction, and congress was
| goiEg down on it's kness and taking all the
burdens Off them, and placing them On
poor people. How many gentlemen OF
the other side who voted for this reduction
would vote to take the tax fropa cotton ties,

The Telegraph War.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 15.-Before Attorney
General Russell to-day, in the case of
Greaves and Others against the Western
Union Telegraph company, seeking per-
mission to compel that corporation to va
cate its charter, an able argument was
made by Gen. David H. Hubbard on be-
half of the applicants. Gen. Hubbard
sought to show that the Western Union
company had gone on absorbing rival
companies, increasing its capital stock and
pursuing policy calculated to crush all
competition, and that it had violated the
law repeatedly and defantly, General
Manager Swain, on behalf of the respon-
dent, urged that the statute of limitations
ran and held that the complainants had re-
Gently purchased their grievances. He
defended the various and successive issues
of stock by the Western Union and main
tanned that each and all of its transactions
had been sanctioned by law. Gen. Frances
G. Barlow followed General Swain. and
after comPlimenting the attorney general
on the soundness of his decision in allow
ing suit to be brought by the people
against the Mutual Union, continued that
what was sauce for the goose, was sauce
for the gander." He then proceeded in an
easy and brilliant manner to controvert
the points made by General Swain, aiming
to establish that the statute OF l84S under
which the Western Union was organized.
did not confer authority to increase its
capital stock, and that all such increases
had been in violation of the spirit and IN
tent Of the statute. Further hearing was
adjourned until tomorrow at O'Clock.

lants.
Syllabus-In May. 1873, Stephen Des.
noyer and Sally Destroyer entered into an
anti-nuptial contract, whereby, in consider.
alton of the contemplated marriage, he
granted to her. among other things, an
annuity of $500 per annuin during the
time of her natural life, which was made a
charge upon his estate and lands. and in
consideration thereof she released all
her right OF dover, and all her interest or
claim of any KIND in mis- estate. except as
to the provisions made for her as afore-
said. After their marriage Stephen died
interstate, leaving Sally, his widow. surviY-
ing him. The probate court upon petition
of the widow, made an allowance to her OF
500 per month for her maintenance dur
ing the settlement of the estate, pursuant
to the provisions of sec. l, ch. 81. Gen
Statute 1873. No exception was ever taken
to this order and this allowance was paid
by the administrator daring the settlement
of the estate without objection from any
one; and his accounts showing such pay
ments were approved and allowed by the
probate court, and no appeal was ever
taken from such action of the court.
Held, That these payments having been
made and received under the statute,
cannot now be applied IS payments upon
the widows annuity under the anti-nuptial
contract. 1t is wholly irnmaterial that &C
cording to the terms of this contract she
may not have been entitled to any al
lowance under the stStute. If the order
OF the court in that regard was erroneous
the remedy of the heirs was by appeal to
the district court. or by application to the
probate court to have the order revoked.
Held, also, That it WAS competent for
the probate court to make decree assign
ing the real estate to the heirs subject to
the charge of the annuity to the widow,
and such court was not required to retain
control and custody of such real estate
during the life of the widow for the pur-
pose of raising funds with which to pay
the successive instaliments OF the annuity
as they might become due. That the
whole real estate being charged with the
payment of this annuity, is was just as ac-
cessible for such purpose in the hands of
the heirs, as in the hands of the admins
traitor. and hence the decree assigning the
property to the heirs in no way prejudiced
the rights of the widow.
