In the Supreme Court, on Friday, June
Oath, 1859, in the case of Kramer VS.. Reb-
man, being an appeal from Dubuque, the
Court delivered very lengthy opinion on
this subject. An extract or two from the
decision cannot but be interesting to the
People and Profession. Wright, Chief JUS
tice, said:
''The question is, whether after sale I'M
der a proceeding to foreclose a mortgage,
there exists right to redeem, either in the
defendant or his creditors. Our opinion is
that the right does not exist, but that the
sale is absolute.
Where, however, the mortgage comes
into court in the first instance, either for the
purpose of obtaining a strict foreclosure or
one by sale, the MORTGAGE must redeem be-
fore decree in the lionel case, or before sale
in the other, or his right is cut off.
Until judgment and sale the legal title
remains in the mortgager under our law. AZ.
ter judgement, it may be said, that the mort
gagee has instituted his process and obtained
an order to extinguish this title. After sale
it is extinguished as fully and completely as
after the expiration of the time to redeem in
case ola sale under an ordinary execution

Here they were politely escorted from the rail

to the grove, some 800 yards south of Town,

after all had partaken, and fully satisfied
the demands of a hungry appetite, there was
quite a quantity remaining, unconsumed,
After dinner we had number of excellent
toasts read and well cheered.
Upon the whole we had good time, not

nor any other kind of intoxicating Liquor,
and as consequence everything passed off
pleasantly and socially, with no discredit to
the cause we met to celebrate.

have is that the Gen. don't seem in harry

Wisconsin, and after that, the Capital. AL
this gives us breathing time, and we intend
to take it as comfortably as we can. By the
way, we are sorry the Gen. is going to fling
away the scabbard when he draws his sword

he would wear his sword to illustrate the
iuirnitable and graceful manner in which he
wore it at the Court of Spain. ILL. sa~.
We no where see any response to the in
vitation extended to Gen. Dodge to canvass
in company with Mr.. kirkwood, as we should
like much to see them together, and hear
them discuss the questions involved in the

LATER FROM FHY NEBRASKA GOLD HlNESl
Capt. l.. Nuckops Arrived!
10 DAYS FROM CHERRY CREEK
THE Truth Concerning the Hines !

Capt. L. Nuckolls reached home yesterday. July 8.
He left the mines the 25th ult. Consequently, he
he made the trip in about thirteen days, and brings
the latest news yet received from the mines.
Capt. N. left Pacific City on the 14th Of April,
out and returned by the South Platte route and
says 1t is inc omparaby the best and shortest route
This fact is generally conceded by emgrants from all
quarters.
Mr.. Nuckolls did not go out for the purpose Of
digging Rold and, therefore, did not prospect much
He went out on trading expedition and for the
benefit of his health We regret to state that his
health Is not much improved. He Is quite feeble.
He met with tolerable success in trading; and ex
poets his party in shortly with large number Of
horses and cattle, and several hundred robes and
| skins obtained from the Indians.
In regard to the gold mines Capt. N lost oppor-
tunity ofobtaning all the reliable information posi-.
hle. His extensive acquaintance with the pioneer
gold seekers and his frequent intercourse with Them
gave him unusual facilities for acquiring correct in
formation Being entirely dsinterested feel salts
fed his statements the truth than anything
! yet published ..n..
He says 1t s estimated that 10000 persons were a
| the mines. or this number, not than PIE in
| every TWO HUNDRED was making good wages. The
majority not making expenses. The number
who are making extraordinary wages is limited to a
very few. He does not think the entire amount OF
gold taken out this season. thus far exceeds twenty
| thousand dollars.
Between Cache la Poudre and the crossing Of the
South Platte, he passed about 700 teams returning
home. Most of the persons accompanying these
teams had visited the mountain dggings but failed to
meet with sufficient encou agement to induce them
! to remain.
The statement Of Horace Greeley and others was
undoubtedly made in all candor and honesty but
was greatly exaggerated in consequence ofmpositons
practiced upon these gentlemen by interested parties
He thinks in very few instances $3.50 to $500 have
been taken out of certain claims in day, but these
instances exceedingly rare.
| His advise to all who cont emplate emigrating to
the mines is to wait further developments. Next
spring will be time enough to start If the should
continue favorable Those who go win In all
probability have cause to regret it.

A Truthful VaIedictOry.

The editor the Henderson (Minn.) Dem
ocrat has retired from the editorial chair,
and in doing so, frankly assigns his reasons.
They are as significant as they are conclu-
sive. He says:
have tried the Democratic party of Min
nesota and found it wanting. Its leaders
have found corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS, and
its Enumerated principles, things made to
read but not to follow. From conversation
this spring with many of the party, both here
and in other portions of the State, l become
convinced that their hopes of success in the
coming fall campaign we've entirly based
upon anticipated bogus returns from Rem
Wills, Murray, Cottonwood, Pine stone, Penn
bina, and other out-of- the-way counties and
] was not therefore surprised, on a late
visit to St. Paul, to hear this preached to
Inc, and unblushingly anticipated, by Dem
ocrats high in State offices. The pollution
of the ballot-box seems, in their opinion, a
legitimate road to success!
Suci Pdl Iy-NICil oCCuplcS llScI III
squabbling about spoils, instead of fighting
for principles-whose arrogant leaders open
ly advocate fraud and usurpation of power
and whose interna! organization is a system
of petty chicanery, dishonesty, bribery and
political rottenness-deserves the scorn and
contempt Of every honest man. There are
few who know the dishonesty of party
until they become acquainted with the dis
honesty of its leaders; and, with this as a
tonch-stone Of party honesty, l am forced
to conclude that the Democratic party of
Minnesota is most corrupt and depraved.
Toknow it, thoroughly, through its leaders,
is to hate it; to hate it, is to condemn it i;
and to condemn it, should be, with every
true patriot, to leave it.
For reasons such as these, have left the
Democratic party, and shall hereafter act,
work and vote with the Republicans of this
district
