| Land Titlss-Decision Of the Supreme Court.
At the late term Of the Supreme Court
for this district, holden at Burlington, there
were several cases pending involving the
titles of land in this county. We UNDER
stood that on the trial Of these cases, sew
eral decisions were made Of great interest
and importance, not only to the parties, but
to others similarly situated. In the first
case before The court, that of Marsh Lee
and Delavan Us Wright, the decision Of
the court below was confirmed, and the
title under the decree held prima facie
valid, and good as strictly legal lille.
There is, however, case i'll Chancery
continued to the next term OF the Court,
which impeaches the decree and seeks 10
set it aside on the ground of fraud.
In the second case, that Of Reid Is
Young, the court held that the title derir-
ed under the judgme ut was wholly void
a mere nullity as title.
And in the third case where the title
under the decree andsshat under tile iudg-
ment came in contact, in accordance with
the two previous decisions, the judgement
title went to the wall, These decisions
against the Judgment title reverse The
decisions of the Supreme Court Of the
Territory, made some years ago If we re-
collect Alright. ...
| An application was made for a re-hcar-
ing in the case of Reid as Young. We
did not learn whether the application was
| successful or not.
A final settlement ofthese 'vexeT ques-
tons would prove advantageous TO the
generality Of those interested, and greatly
advance the prosperity of the community.
And in a matter of this nature, where all
desire a settlement, and where the inter-
ests of all would be ultimately advanced,
we think
elf itwere done when tits done, then 'twerew wen
| 1t were done quickly"
Nc Cormack's Reaper. were invi-
ted, yesterday, to examine one of these
useful machines, by Mr. Mccormack,
which has been finished to send 10 En-.
gland.
This machine is finished and embellish-
ed in rich style: and will be a credit
10 American taste as well as American
ingenuity. 1t will be shipped in a few
days; but those who feel any pride in
Chicago mechanism are invited TO exam
inc it, at the Works of Messrs Ogden &
Mccormack, near the Lake House. 1t
will surprise many to learn that s 80 600
worth of these machines have been turned
out at this establishment this year.
The principal cost of which has been
distributed among a large number OF SCI
entific and ingenious engineers, and arti-
fcers and the laborers who wait upon
them.
1t is only to be regretted that we have
not ten times more, and greater variety
of manufacturing establishments in this
city, Chicago Commercial.
AT an adjourned meeting at San Fran
cisco, on the 17th February, the following
resolution i'll relation TO slavery,was adopt

ton are hereby desired, requested and

nance that is calculated TO further the IN
PRODUCTION of domestic slavery, or OF free
negroes as apprentices, by indcnlure or
otherwise, to be employed in the territory
of California.
