The Richmond South refers to the antici-
pations Of some, as to division and disorgani-
zstion in the ranks Of the Democracy in Vir-
ginia, in consequence Of the differences of
opinion existing with regard to measures and
men, and the ambitious aspirations of lead
ers:-and it think there is no danger to be
spprehended. Judging from the pact, not
the slightest. They may keep up terrible
wrangliDg previous to roting-but when that
comes, as the fox said to the beaver, ",hey
will all meet at the hatter's."

peculiar to himself, stretched himself

North denying tho fact"

count of the Douglas imbroglio, cannot

Use tomatoes largely, both at break

Titles 10 land Warrants.

Attorney General Black, at the re.
quest of the Secretary of the Interior,
has just delivered very important
opinion in reference to the proper con.
struction of the act of June Sd, 1853,
which provides that the title to land
warrant issued after the death of per-
son applied for it according to the pre-
scribed forms, "shall vest in the widow,
if there be one, and there be no widow,
then in the heirs and legatees of the
claimants" From this argument the
following conclusions are. drawn: 1st.
That q warrant issued after the death
of q claimant, who left widow and
children, enures to the widows benefit
alone. I'd. When a deceased claim
unit has a widow, with two sets of child
rem, the warrant enures to the benefit
of her heirs or legatees. Sd. Heirs
are those who are so decided by tho
law Of the claimants domicil.
