The NASHVILLE CONVENTION - Pad Dele
gateS-A bill has been introduced into the Legis-
lature, providing for the payment of the delegates
to this sectional Convention. The South is in dan
ger her existence is threatened by the Northern
Vandals, and yet there is not patriotism enough in
her wise men to arm their tongues in her defence
without payment Of expenses. VIM. L. Marcy be
no longer solitary and alone Fold up those i'm
mortal breeches which, with the sacred robes Of
Mahomet have heretofore Haunted proudly in the
breeze. Well, we breathe easily. The secret is
out why those
&c Patriots bursting with heroic rage
have been so ciaInorous for convention. A visit
to the gay and fashionable city of Nashville, at the
public expense, is not bad investment Of time. 1t
will be hailed as Godsend by those patriots who,
having no business of their own glad to attend
to the welfare of the counry-for a consideration
No if the people of this State are to take part in
this farce, let it at least be that of gentlemen.
Who paid the expenses of the individuals attend
ing the Memphis Convention That and the pre-
vious meetings originated in true american, not
sectional feelings. They were intended to bring to-
gether intelligent men from all parts Of the
try-to concentrate the opinions of different sections
on a common subject, and thus indirectly strength
en- the Union. We believe one mile of railroad
does more to perpetuate the Union than a thousand
anatcal speeches on either side of Mason and Dix
on's line can do to dissolve the Confederacy. Yet
those gentlemen did not ask the public to pay their
expenses
But now we are told that the South is in danger
the passions are aroused-the country is thrown
into terrible ferment-and it all results in paying
the expenses of speech-makers to place where
they may express their devotion to the South at
reasonable compensation. No. When the people
of Louisiana believe their rights invaded. or
their honor assaulted, they will find wise heads to
meet in council and brave hearts to stand in battle,
without miserable pittance OF mileage and per
diem. This movement really covers the scheme
with such rdcule that it cannot assume the tragic
attitude again.
We have, in our first paper, given our reasons
for opposing the assemblage Of this convention. IT,
however, Louisiana is to be represented in it, we
hope men of standing will be found to act dele
gates, without any paltry compensation. The
friends of the measure deract from its dignity by
this action. We learn that on tomorrow the sub.
eot is to be discussed in our House of Representa-
tves. 1t is not party question and we learn
that members take sides according to their own
feelings, and not by the dictation of caucus Mr..
Larue, who next to Mr. Preston, is the leading
mind on the democratic side, is opposed to the
! measure

A Vacant Estate What Is 1t.


We are indebted to an eminent jurist in no man.
ner connected with the Gaines case for the follow
ing definition
Much has been said during the trial of the famous Gaines
in relation YacaRt Estates and the question has been
asked us, What Vacant Estate? To this question de-
sire to give plain for the profession but for the
popular understanding.
Well, then, it originally Roman absraction-k6red
tas jaeeas in abeyance succession entered
upon by heir either tesamenary inestate Every
considered having left succession, although he may
have left property, and that Succession regarded
moral person, capable OF having rights. Ii represents the
deceased by kind of legal fiction This estate, being
legal entity, capable OF rights, might lose its rights by pre-
scpton. For example, suppong A. has the best title
tract of land in the adverse possession OF b. who holds under
first title, and in good faith. A. dies, and his
canthat say heir claims B. continues posses
until, adding the possession before the death of A. to that
after his DEATH and before the heir accepts and makes himself
known, the possession has continued without interruption for
years B. 3 title becomes ndisputabe by prescriptions
in other words the prescription against the succession
while vacant
The customary law introduced a new principle, to wit;
that the heir seized instantly the death OF the ancestor
and has been doubted by whether under that
the principle exists to the extent But certain
that the old code maintained the doctrine that prescription
continued against estate, Notwithstanding the
existence of an heir who had accepted the succeQn
had made himself known, and that when the he
in taculfate a minor.
The doctrine OF Estates under the CODE was consd
cred in the Pouey case and the prescription against
recognized in the Of Davis heirs Ekns al x l.
Reports 1885, in which the whole matter was fully examined
and soemnly decided.
In that the title of the defendant originated after tn
death of the true growing OF sale made by tn
surviving husband of community propery and the heirs
the deceased wife, after her succession had remained
than ten years sued the purchasers for the property
The husband had title to the half belonging the heirs
his wife, but he sold it, and the purchasers good faith
and the heirs although minors the time of the death of he
ancestor by abstanng from claiming the estate for thai
years, lose their right prescription against the succession
which represents the deceased, and not the heirs.
What application these principles may have in the GAME
does us-and perhaps doubtful whethe

Ditv AfTsirs--oonsolidation and Paving.


Although the movements Of The Dslta's erich
men 2 ara somewhat enveloped in mystery, they
not condesceudng 20 enlighten the people as TO the
real advantages they promise them by the adoption
BY the Legislature of their notable scheme, enough
leaks out occasionally to show the extreme selfish
ness and disregard Of the public iwelare, when it
conflicts with their individual interests, to give us
some insight into their notions il is, we have as
eeftained from uuquestionabe authority, part of
their pan that hereafter all paung Of streets shall
be paid by the owners Of the lots fronting on the
streets.
Now, it is known by every intelligent citizen,
that in 1927 the City Council of New Orleans
adopted the system by which each proprietor should
pay for third the paving made in front of his
lotihe city paying one-ihrd and the cost of inter
sections, making about one-half of the whole cost
This one-half has been paid out Of a common trea
suy by the city, prior TO 1886, and since by that
of the municipality; so that property. holder in
FaubouFg Tfeme, or in our back wards, where as
yet there has been little or no paving, has been
taxed in proportion the value of his property as
much as the owner of property on Chartres or Camp
street, towards this half
Il so happens that the D+lta's " rich men, have.
under the operation of this SYSTEM had the streets
paved in front oftheir property; and while the peo-
pie of other parts Of the city were contributing one
half their cost, they uttered no complaint. But
now, as the time is approaching when they will be
called to pay in rsturn their portion of the cos
Of paving the streets of the rear and upper wards
Of the municipality, they exclaim against such
Injustice
Now, we ask the good people of every part of the
city, where their streets have not yet been paved
and whose property has nevertheless been taxed fol
paving for the benefit Of others for twenty three
years, whether they will silently submit to such
rank injustice If not they must be up and doing
for we learn that one Of the Dslia's rich men y
has publicly announced that it is his intention TO
expend $4,000 in order to procure The passage OF
this most obnoxious law. This, we presume, is on
Sir Robert Walpole's principle, that "evsry man
has his price," but the person referred TO, places,
we trust, much top low an estimate on the integ-
ry of the Representatives Of Louisiana, he GER
tainly has done the intelligence of the people, in
announcing so liberal an intention.
