far BBMMBAMI to BBBBBBMBBB]
Washington, Jan. 19.?Senator Vest, of Missouri,
has been considerably stirred up !>v tbo orilicisms of
tbe people o! I i.ikota. It seems that tbej do not take
kindly to bis charges of " revolutionary " conduct and
of " constructive treason,"' coining ni they do Irom one
who fought lour years to destroy tbe Union, uud who
bas ever sinoo opposed every piece of legislation 11 at
Dight intimate thal he was on the wroug side during
tbe war. Tbo Territorial newspapers have not beeu
pleaeaut reading lately lor Mr. Vest, and marked
oopies hare In-en sent to hm which be said to-day
oontained columns of vituperation that would put to
shame the worst billlugsgate over uttered. This re?
mark was uttered by Mr. Vest during a debate ou Mr.
Harrison's t. solution to admit to the tluor of tho
Senate Mr. Moody, of dakota, who bas been elect od to
represent Ihe Territory in ihe Senate, when lt sball be
admitted ns a Suite. Mr. Vest renewed bis sttaok on
the Territory, denounced its course iu trying to get
into the Uulon as revolutionary, said thut its people
hud been lacking lu courtesy to the Senate, and
strenuous-,, oppo.ieii t he resolution.
Mr. Harrison showed that tbe resolution was in
accordance with tbo uniform practice of the Senate
and tbat there was nothing exceptional in the case of
Dakota. Its '._?'.'!,nut) citizens wbo had combined in
tt respectful petition were entitled to reapectful treat?
ment, lu the ouse ol tbe Territory ol Missouri, its
Senators-eli ct, 1 mimas A. Henton and bis associate,
were admitted to tbe ti mr of tbo Seuate and weie
permitted to rinre.se tbe franking privilege before it
waa admitted as a Mat
Mr. \e*t replied that he did not agree with Mr.
Henton living, am) did not agree with him dead.
Ulah would bo entitled to just aa in,.oh consideration In
Bunba case as Dakota, and the } iect dent might then
MooflM inter'sting.
Mr. Ilarrisou remarked that there was nothing to
Warrant tbo coupling ot Dakota with Utah, ami not 1.inc
to warrant Mr. vesi's attack ou citizens of Dakota.
Il was e? ul.-ut that Mr. Vest did not bave the sym?
pathy of bis Democratic associates, aa srveral of tlem
Yotecl for tbe leeolution, whi.-b was adopted. Mr.
Edgerton, one ol the Senators-elect, was formerly a
member of thc Sena!b, and was thus eniiiled to the

THE PROPOSED STATIN ISLAND BRIDGE.
AHOt'MKNTS KOK AND AOAI.V-ST IIB OOBffIBUC-lOBi
Washington, Jan 10 (s^iecial).? Rub-committees
ot the Henate and House Committee* on Commerce to?
day beard arguments on thc question nt the construc?
tion of a bridge over the Kill Von Kuli at St* ten
Island, to jrive the Baltimore and Ohio ent run ce to
New-York. Considerable interest was shown in tie
matter, as ii is understood tbat n strong effort will
be made by the 1'eunsylvania Railroad Company and
others to detest the passage of such a bili. A similor
measure eas favorably reported in the House at tho
last session, Dut wa* uot reached. It is now oharged by
tba friends of the measure tbat its opponent* bope to
delay a report, Mid thus prevent early consideration of
the matter. This led Senator Kryr, chairman ol ihe
S.?: a'e snb-oommltteo, to give notioe to-day tba! only
one more hearing would be given, and tbat the only
points the committee would consider were the neoessiiy
for the bridge In tbe interest of general commerce;
what obstruction it will offer to navigation, aud
whether the damage that will be caused n ill be over?
come by the advantage conferred, and where the
bridge sbculd bo located. The House committee gave
a somewhat similar notice.
The arguments to-day were made by Erastus Winjan,
William Walter Phelps and ex-Mayor Rurnet. of
Elizabeth. In the oonr-ie of his remarks Mr. Phelps
said that the New-York Legislature has on live sep?
arate oiiM-ioii- refused to pa.* a Join! resolution In
laver of this bridge. Mr. Wiman declared tbat tbe
resolution had been before tbe New-York Legislature
only twice, and had not beeu acted ou susplv because
o! lack of time. Mr. Cow un declared that there was uo
need of action by the Legislature, the authority given
by the Oeneral Railroad law of the State being ample.
Mr. Wiman triumphantly exhibited the jm.it resolu?
tion of the New-York Legislature reuuesting tho Sen?
ators and Representatives trom that State to use nil
honorable means to secure suoh legislation by Cou
grees as might be neeessury to nuth >rir,e the construc?
tion of a bridge between the New-Jersey ehore and
Staten Island, not to interfere with navigation. Mr.
Phelps in his rema;ks ssid:
2 H any one believes that tho Baltimore and Ohio
purpose to carry tLeir pass-rumors by thi* route lo a live
mile ferry, aud on lhat ground tbo bridge is Baked for,
thou, iu the Interest ot tho I'eunsylvania 'road, thc
lb lumire, Licks wanna ai.it Western with tho New

public carriers who have purchased lund dino* ly
opposite Now-Yolk at a gin it cost, that lli'-v might
accommodate the travelling juiblio by lauding them
"| |i isite'aud within one mile ol lae City'ol New-1 erk. I
protest against using tbe groat power of the I'niied
States Government to aid tho Hiiltimoro and Ohio to
BSOttM paying the necessary expense* of a good snd
serviceable terminus, by giving it special facilities to

that tho pubic..'Inn ot that tact might Interfere with or

Mr. Teller iiddrossod tho Senrte on the silver question.
Without a suWoient amount ot money with which to iii
business. Mr. Teller sdd, tho euergles of the people
wero depressed. M univ si ar. itv meant dull times and
low wares or no wages at all- Tim persons who stiflorod
least from such scarcity were tho money-lenders, bill
discounters and pawnbrokers; those sho suffered most
were tbo laboring mon. The stoppago of silver coinage
would be oqulvalunt to the addition -if ifclOO.OOO.OOO to
the National debt, ft would add froir 20 to no per oenl
to every dollar of debt lu the laud?an amount almost
too great for cmnpu' allon. Tue Seorotary of the 'I reas

from silver coinage. I,et the gentleman, said Mr. Teller.
sneak for the great moneyed corporations and for Ihe
bondholders aud capitalists, but not for the laboring
men. Laboring men were well uware that that great
department ot tile Government had gassed mto tho con?

Uno ,v that the stat ulm passed to curtail the powers of

Trknton, Jan. 10.?Tho Jowcy City Bridjfo
bill was Introduced in the Assembly this morning by
Mr. Hudspeth, of Hudson Couutj. It is a copy of tha
hill discussed In tbe House lent winter, and lt ls called
an act to pr ivlde for making publlo Improvements. It
simply proposes to remove the single legal dlfllculty that
exists lu tho way of building the brlage ncross the Morris
Canal Gap at Waabiuglon-st. Tbe bill enables the city to
appoint commissioners to assess the damages due prop?
erty-owners by ibe proposed hulloing of the draw?
bridge. The damages aro Insignificant, but the legBl
procedure has been declared -Ital by the Court of
Chsncerr. The bill was referred to the Committee oo
Municipal Corporation*, composed of A. ff, U.Martln,
Payton, Pfeiffer,Hebecle aud Pintard. A bill has also
bsen Introduced to prohibit the vacation of streets al?
ready lain out, and ls un ter .tool to refer to the pro.
posed attempt of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and
Matthlsssen A Wlecher* to vncate tVa*hlngton-st. This
hill ls also In the hands of the Municipal Corporations
Commute*. Th* committee will give parties in interest a
hearlniroB Tuosday next in tho Assembly Clumber. The
attitude of the Pennsylvania Kail road toward the bill la
the great problem. The company has really little or no
Individual Interest In lt, and the only exenso lt would
bave for opposing lt would be friendship for (he Lehigh
Valley. The labor organizations of the Htate are m-iving
in behalf of the bridge, whit li would give free transpor?
tation of -J,ooo workmen dally, a s I ving of ft*0 a day.
A concurrent resolution was passed in hoth bouse*
directing the Committee on Printing (o make an Investl
gatloii of tbo workings of the Htate printing contract
system.
Tbe Committee on Municipal Corporations will on Tues?
day ufternoou give a hearlag upon tho V.'.lr. .beth debt

from the City Common ('oumul, setting forth the
position of the city. This shows that the present
city debt wss largely due to the action of the
Curt of Priors mid Appeals In reversing a decision of
its own a* lo the responsibility for street Improvements.
The city asks that tbe Ntato retain the ads ss they exist.
orelee make au appropriation to the olly of $1,7.10,1)110,
being the amount of loss suffored by the city through
the action of ibe Court of Appeals in maklug contradic?

ropresanted at the hearing and tbe elton to obtain tho
repeal of the laws will he continued unremittingly,

MR. ALEXANDER'S PLEA IN HIS BEHALF.
A5SEBTINO THAT Hit ACTKD IK GOOD FAITH?
OTHKIIS WHO MAUR OltKAT PROFITS.
Charles H. Aleximder made an extended and
forcible argument before Referee Cole yesterday on his
motion to dismiss the suit of Oeorge C. Holt as assignee
of Ferdinand Ward to set aside the transfers of
of property made by Wurd to William 8. Warner. Mr.
Alexander made au eloquent plea selling forth his posi?
tive belief tbat Mr. Warner acted lu entire good faith In
all his tMi! sections with Grant _ Ward. Other men had
even put money iu blind pools lu good faith, Mr. Alex?
ander declared, and gave as Instance the famous Villard
pool In which $30,000,000 was Invested. Mr. Warner
was not the only man who dealt with Grant dc Wurd ;
other men, shrewd and been business men,
had divested their money there and there
was no tj'ie.s,' mu of their good faith. The Grunts bad so
doue, io bad Captain Spicer, Nelson J. Tappan, Mayor
Grace ami oihrrs, who, up io the time of the Grunt _k
Wurd iiu.?lue*?, had lol perfectly correct lives.
Mr. Alexander then read some results of his account?
ant's investigation of the dealings of some men wltb
Grant _ Ward, Mayor Grace, he said, made invest?
ments to the extent of $1,229,550 88, with profits
amounting to $11 ."i.OOO ; the two Tobeys had an appar?
ent profit of $-.1,000; Mr. 'Pappan had investments of
$.'),_.-iO.OOO; I. I>. i ii an t's payments were H,V7*i.'AMi 'AO,
while hi* receipts were $...,310,705 25, leaving an appar?
ent pro.1t of $33-1,309 HU. According to Ward's private
checkbook (olonel Grant hail put In $1,458,800, snd
had dmwu out $2,14:>.457, loavliis a balance of $090,
607, deducting imm which $'150,287 loss, left about thc
same uet proilt as tbe general account.
U. B. Grant, Jr., If tho Chaffes matter were taken into
Hccoiiiit, wss $il,oOO behind ; otherwise he bsd taken out
much lucre tl.au he had put In. " Although my clients,"
said Mr. Alexander, " bave been Indicted hy facile and
malignant Grand Juries, no friend of theirs has for a
moment faltered lu hi* belief tu the men. I sball never
hesitate to regard them as the *orsl-ircated men lu
New-Vork and my very de_r fneuds."
General Hubbard, ou the conclusion nf the argument,
wished the referee tn indicate to what extent lt would
be usccss.il/ for him to answer the points of the argu?
ment. Mr. C le auld tbat lo his mind two points had
bren made clear hy the evidence: 'lhere had
been ne contracts and the linn had been Insolvent
ihruti-.li all ti.ese transactions. Assuming tbat Mr.
Warner had taken the money In i oed faith, still the last
of lt received was that on a transaction [that of the
f 71,-tm check] ou which Ward had been ?eur to prison,
be r. i ei en luiiuinteti tint his action In regard io dis?
missing tbe suit would depend in part, ut least, ou Mr.
Warner's good fol li.
General Hubbard will make his argument to-morrow.
Mr. Alexander foss abroad un Fr.day and John E. Par?
sons will take his place lu couducung ths suit tem?

DIVORCED rKOM A DEAD HU8BA VU
Mrs. Kitty B. Dorickgon, against whom a
Judgment of absolute divorce was entered in 1?84, In
behalf of William W. Derlekaon, ls seeking to bave tha
decres annulled. She bn brought au notion la tbo Supe?
rior Court against Samuel and Susan T. Dertekson, tba
parents of her lato husband, and the three minor cl;lidr.-n
of thc marriage, Sue. May aud Cards Uerlckson. She ,. 1
Icge.- that (he marriage took place on August '23,1873, sud
that In 1883 her husband accused her of Inddolity, nd
hy threats compelled hsr to sign an Instrument ot sepa?
ration, giving him tbe custody of tbe three children. Ho
then sued ber for an absolute divorce, and implored
three detect Ive*, wbo false*? swore that one of them
was dtscovered by the other two in improper relations
with her. Tbe referee reported In hts favor; the report
was confirmed and Judgment entered at 3 o'clock In tho
afternoou of February 3, 1884, her husband having died
ut 9:30 a. m. He left an estate valued at $4,000. She asks
that a guardian ntl Ittem he appointed fur the children
and that tho Judgment of divorce be vacated sud re?
moved from the docket, or If lha court dscides tbat lt
waa properly entered, that the action be revived so that
she ian take an appeal, obtain a reversal of the Judg?
ment and (aka out letters of administration as tbs wife
of 1 -erickson.
A demurrer was taken to this complaint on the ground
that lt does not state facts sufficient to constitute h
cause of aotion and that there ls * defect in the .parties
defendant because, (>? neks.,n being dead, neither ad au
uilnl-triitor neran executor ls named as a party de?
fendant. Justice Freedman yesterday directed Judg?
ment for the defendants ou the demurrer, with leave to
the plain tl tl to amend nar complalut upou payment ot
