An Important Decision. The fol
lowing decision in the Donaldson will
case, which we take from the Pough
kecpsie (N. Y.) Eagle, being a matter
in which the University cf North
Carolina is interested, we publish the
article in full :
"Robert Donaldson, late of the tow n
of Bed Hook, Dutches county, died on
the 8th of June, 1S72, leaving a last
willaud te:tament whereby the deceas
ed, after giving some 6uiall legacies to
different friends, gave to his sister and
two daughters each an annuity of 2,000,
and to his two sons each an aunuity of
1,000. After the payment of these, he
gave the residue of his property to be
equally divided between the University
ol North Carolina, the American Bible
Society, the American Tract Society,
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis
sions, and the Theological Seminary at
Princeton, New Jersey.
The children brought this suit ask
ing to have the bequests to the several
charities declared void, because the
estate is suspended during the lives of
the eister and children, and the bequest
is therefore contrary to our statute pro
hibiting the suspension of an estate for
more than two lives in being at the
death of the testator.
The case has just been decided by
Judge Barnard, holding that by the
will the executors took a trust estate in
all the property, and that it lasted until
the death of the last annuitant ; of these
there are four, the absolute ownership is
illegally suspended for more than two
lives in being at testator's death, is void,
and that the plaintiffs are entitled to the
real and personal estate of which the
testator died seized (except that specifi
cally given) as heirs at law of testator.
By this decision the children of the
testator come in possession of an estate
worth $200,000.
The plaintiffs Were represented by
II. A. & J. Nelson, of this city, and
William Allen Butler, of New York, the
executors and the several societies by
Charles Tracey and Tompkins Wester-
velt, of New York, II. M. Taylor, J. P.

citv.

'St. Patrick' s" Celebration. On
he evening of the 2nd., a meeting was
held at the Yarborough House for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
celebration of this time honored festival.
i.t that meeting the Marshals and
nonary Committees were appointed.
The Assembly named thereon a number
of the leading citizens and fnend3 of
the Irish cause. As some have asked
whether it was the intention of the
meeting to furnish free tickets to the
persons named on these various bodies,
I wish to state that such was not the
intention of that meeting. It was sim
ply intended, to designate the various
Committees and Marshals, for the occa
sion, and at the same time -to make
lonorarv mention of those friends whose
names have been thus employed. It
would be impossible for Father McNa
mara or the nianagers to issue so .many
tree tickets. It is evident thev could
not afford this, and they are well aware
that gentlemen who wish to participate
in that evening's festivities do not at all
expect any such exemption. There wi'I
be of course a few invited guests.
These are all' the free tickets which the
Pastor or the Managers can afford to
issue. . .- "

"Mrs. Mary F. Jones, consort of Col.
P; E. A. Jones, deceased, was the sweet

many years a member of the Episcopal

husband, Col. Jones, a man of character
and influence, joined the innumerable
throng, and now Angel3 join in the cx
ultant shout as wife and husband meet
before the throne of "I Am." The de
ceased leaves six children, who bitterly
mourn their bereavement. God be mer
ciful to them, and bless them. May we
live as irreproachable a life as Mis.
Mary F. Jones did, and b ' as ready' to
meet the Tyrant as she, 'and if there be
a Heaven, we like she will be in its

SENATE.
Saturday, Feb. 8, 1873.
Senate called to order at 10 o'clock
Lieutenant Governor in the chair. '
Journal of yesterday read and ap
proved. ' ' :
Mr. Respess rose to a question of per
sonal privilege, and said he saw in yes
terday's Era a communication under the
head of" Have we a Republican party
in North Carolina ? 'vin which the in
significant author attempts, to cast re
flection upon the course of Republican
members ol this General Assembly, and
especially upon certain Senators, myself
included, for voting lor certain of the
Constitutional amendments. Sir, as a
Republican, I challenge a single step of
inconsistency in my whole political life.
The Republican party, if the writer of
the above communications knew any
thing of their past, have pledged, them
selves in their State Constitution in
avor of many of the proposed amende
mcnts to the Constitution, and in the
campaign ot 1871, on every political
iusting,they pledged to the people their
support in changing the Constitution
by legislative enactment, an l there are
many Republicans that are 1 ivorable to
some of the proposed amend anents, and
would vote for them, but lor" such small
minded demagogues as " Sumerville,"
who only can or will be known as a Re
publican as long as he is able, by such
scurilous articles, to keep up political
excitement.
I do not know wdio he is, nor do I
care ; ni3 article tens me iut ne is a
Republican of doubtful value, and of as
little honor, integrity, or consistency, as.
he has common sense, or wish for the
success of the Republican party.' And
when he says that 1 ; am afraid to ex
press . my honest convictions on this
floor, or that I' have been made by
Democrats, or by any thing else above
con viction,his scurilous article included;
to support ) any measure, "only lor the
good of North Carolina, arid the best
interest of ' the Republican party, the
least I can say of inm is, that he-is a
BASE LIAR. ."'
Mr. Cramer also rose to a question of
privilege ou the same subject, and fully
endorsed the remarks of Mr "Respess,
statins that in voting for the Constitu
tional Amendments,-he' obeyed the- ex
