Matthew Marshall writes as follow, for the Svn of to-morrow: Tlie decision of the Court of Appeals in the Tilden will case, declaring invalid tlie ca-refnllv drawn section of tlie will provid ing for the disposal of the bulk of the testa ior great fortune for charitable purposes. Rddsone more to the already long list of failures of testamentary benevolence through legal mistakes. Had Mr. Tilden, following the example of Mr. Peter Cooper and his children, of Mr. Henry W. Sage, and Senator Stanford, carried out his purposes himself, instead of leaving their fulfillment to his executors, he would have encountered no obstacle in doing It, and he wonld have had the satisfaction, besides, which is now denied even to his surviving friends of witnessing the full accomplishment of his wishes. As it turns out, his fellow citizens n ill be indebted quite as much to hispublic tpirited niece, Mrs. Hazard, as to him, lor their new library, sine it is only by her generous renunciation of her lesal rights that the funds will beprovidedforlts forma tion and maintenance. Whateve. other schemes of philanthrophy he may have had in view arc inevocably lrnttratcd, and, in deed, they -were abandoned by his executors nt the outset The conclusion is not lame and impotent, but it fall I su far short of ' xv hat it ininht ha e been, that it is compara tively a failure. Tilden as a Drafter of Leases. Much surprise and unfavorabM comment has been excited by the fact that an experi enced and able JurUt like Mr. Tilden did 1 not succeed in dralilng in a valid and effec tual manner an instrument involving inter ests so important to himself and to the pub lic. He had been renowned as one or the most sagacious and well-informed chancery lawyers, not only in Xof Yoik, but in the whole country: railroad leases and mort gages in which hundreds of millions of Col lars weiedealfnith had to beprepareflby him or executed only after his examination and approial, not one of which has been found defective; and his Judgment inac- cuinng and investing money is solid, b e see, in his accumulating a fortune, large even in this day or ten and hundred loid millionaire. How came he. then, to full. in making his own n ih? To my mind the explanation is simple rnough, and reflects in nowise upon Mr. Tilden's character, cither as a lawver or as a man of common sense. The French have h saying that eery one has the defects or Ills qualities: that is, his good traits si eac compa' ied bv faults inseparably growing out orthem and connected n ith them. Thus, a brave man cannot be o cmtious and pru dent as a coward, from the very lact that he is brave. A generous man cannot be thrifty, like a miser, because bis gencro-itv interferes with tiis thrift; and a far-eemg and sagacious man cannot bring himelf to take risk that an impetuous short sighted enthusiast Mill encounter without hesita tion. Some or the Sage's Peculiarities. Mr. Tilden was pre-emincntl.- -aise in dis cerning all the possibilities of disaster that were involved in any proposed course of action. It might be said of him, as it was aid of Mr. Charles O'Connor, that he could devise a much more complete argument against his own side of a case than his ad- ei sai y could. When Mr. O'Connor rose to speak in court h would state the position which he Intended to overthrow so strongly that his clients were ready to despair of victory, and it was only when he came to demolish the seemingly impreg nable came which he had elected that they breathed Tree. So Mr. Tilden, in advising his clients, in drawinc his railroad leases and niorteages and other important con tracts, and in the management of his affairs, provided against contingencies that -would not ha e occurred to ordinary men, and fortified himself against dangers that they would never have seen. It waj this habit of mind which governed him in framing his will, and which, through excessive pru dence, tendered its chief provision nuga tory. Anyone w ho has liad any practice in liter ary composition, and who reads carefully the section of Mr. Tilden's will which has just been set aside, sees at once how the tes tator was seduced into overstepping the lim its of the law in drawing it np. Evidently his nr--t purpose was, as the minority of the Court of Appeals judges declare, to found a lree library and reading room in this city, and following the decision which had then been recently made in the Koosevelt will case, he directed his executors to procure an act of incorporation for the desired lnsti t ution, and to convey to it the residue of his property. Some of the Possibilities Considered. Havinggot thus farbebegai to consiQjr w hat might be done by the Legislature in granting the act of incorporation to thwart his intentions. They mig ninsist upon the appointment of dishonest or incompetent trustees; they might attach to the corporate privileges conditions which would destroy their value; or thev might ingeniousl v divei t his bounty to purposes foreign to that he had in mind. He, therefore, added a clause giving to his executors, who were men in w horn he had as much confidence as he had little in the Legislature, discretion to with hold his bequest if the act of incorporation was unsatisfactory to them This danger being provided against, he further reflected that some other men might,by will or other wise, also give monej lor a free library and reading room.nno. in that cae his benefac tion would be superfluous. To guard against this duplication and conflict of purposes lie added the final clause, giving a general dis cretion to his executor to devote his money to an j other object they might deem useful to mankind By theso successive emendations the illegal clause was transformed lrom one originally legal into its present shape, and the transformation, being gradual, diverted Mr. Tilden's attention from the true charac ter of the result. 1 have no doubt that if this section, as it finally stood, had been pre sented to his mind as a whole at first, he would immediately have recognized its ob jects, but having once diverted from his starting point he kept on until he landed in a morass. The Fundamental Scheme Approved. What rendered his self-deception more easy was the fact that the published deci sions of the Court of Appeals, up to the time lie executed his will, had not pronounced so decidedly as they have since the validitv of the provisions he attempted to make. Even now His lunuamcntal scliem has been approved both, by eminent counsel and by 5 out of the 11 judacs to whom the defective section had been submitted in the course of the litigation oer it. His error was not the error of an incompetent or Unpid blunderer, but that of a legal gonitis. t ithcr lawyers of equal and greater emi nence hae made similar mistakes without diminishing their justly earned fame, and Mr. Tilden has plenty of company. Had his mind been less active and less fruitful in suggestions he would have been content to loilow the precedent of the Roosevelt will case, and his intention would have been effected. He failed to accomplish a feasible f-cheme through an apprehension of mis chiefs which few o'.her men would have thought of. A great deal has been Enid, unjustifiably, as it seems to me, disapproving the course of Mr. Tilden's nephews and nieces in bring ing about a judicial condemnation of this invalid provision or his will. One newspaper has even gone so far as to pionounce them something like Infamous, tneir conduct in decent, and the money w hich the judgment r the Court of Appeals hasawarded to them "plunder," w hich tnev should be ashamed to retain. Other newspapers have deplored the result of the litigation as a triumph .of technicality overjustice. In this the news papers, according to niy experience, are far nom expressing a unanimous public opin ion. The Respect for .Natural Bights. Everj' one I have spoken with on the sub ject is well satisfied to have Mr. TUden'g property pass into the bands of his nearest blood relations. The feeling to the contrary, so far as it exists, if it exists at all, arises from a mistaken idea that to dispose of prop erty by will is a natural right and should be .respected accordingly. Ou the contrary, .'history proves that it is the creation of law, ,and ir not exercised in conformity with law ,iis a nullity. Tho natural direction for a man's property to tako w ben he dies is to his own family pnmaiilv to bis children, if he has any, and, jailins these, to the descendants of his nejir-e-t ancestor. In tho present case Mr. Til den's family was the children of his father's children, and their natural right to hlsprop erty could on!' be destroyed Dy such an In strument In the nature of a last will and testament as the law allows. That instru ment the Court of Appeals has declared was not fjtecuted. and, therefore, tho rights which the Invalid instrument sought to de stroy remain unimpaired. Whatever view my readers may take of this last point, I think they will all agree with me that, as I said nt tho outset, a man who wishes to invest his money in any other wav than in giving it to his children or to his Immediate blood relations, had better do It himself, in his life time, than by his last will and testament. He will thus de servedly get tho credit of a voluntary rather than an involuntary act of munificence; he will be sure that his gifts go as he intends them togo, and he will enjoy seeing their good results: whereas, if he postpones action until after his death he never can be sure that his testamentary intentions will take effect, and he certainly will never witness the frmts of his bounty.
