1t is amusing to witness the spas r.odic efforts of
the mira Wings here TO manufacture public opinion

The impression has obtained in certain quarters,
that the postponement of the decision in the great
case of Mrs Games, is an unfavorabe augury for
the plaintiff This is not so regarded either by Mrs
Gaines, her counsel, those of her friends who are
acquainted with the circumstances. The delay is
until the next term OF the Supreme Court only, and
was necessary to ensure a complete and final deci-

which Mrs. Gaines is the rightful heir and deci.

principle, would necessarily involve delay of two
or three years before possession could be recovered

satisfactory to Mrs. Gaines and her multitude of
