Validiy Of Deeds for Land Sold for Con-
federate Money-Important Decision.-The
Warrenton Sentinel contains the following re-
port of an interesting and important case:
Stewart and Palmer vs.. Hanback,. An action
of unlawful detainer.
This is an action instituted by the plaintiffs
to the possession Of tract of land call
ed Waverly, mile and a-haf from this place.
The trial of the case has engaged the attention
of the Court for the last three days, and the
main point 10 the case was as to the validity of
a deed executed by II. M. Smith to the plain
tiffs in June, 1868, the consideration of which
was Confederate money.
Hanback, entered upon the possession of the
land in 1862, and held it as the tenant of Smith.
Smith sold aud conveyed to the plaintiffs, by
the deed of June, 1868. The question upon
the deed was raised by the defendants counsel
by motion to exclude it as evidence from the
jury, and was elaborately argued Ly Messrs.
Helm and Hunton for the defendant, and by
Messrs Tucker and Shackelford for the COM
planantss-the Court overruleG the motion to
ex xclude, and allowed the deed to go to the jury.
The result of this ruling settles the law, SO far
as this Court is concerned, 10 favor of the valid
ity of deeds for land sold during the war for
Confederate moneay. The jury rendered ver-
dict for the plaintiffs.

HEAVY LAWSUIT IN TExAs.-A lawsuit
has been commenced by the new Texas State
government to regain sum of S2,O25,O00 from
Ebenezer f. B. Nichols, financial agent OF the
late Rebel State government 1t appears that
Nichols has failed to account for cotton and
United States Texas bonds to that amount, and
that the returns in the State Treasury show
him defaulter, even after allowing for all pos.
sible payments to the Richmond authorities and
others. 1t appears that Nichols claims that at
the general break up on the close Of tho war his
agents everywhere appropriated the bonds and
cotton in their possession, and refused to render
any account. The law authorities, however,
claim that Nichols is responsible for the acts OF
his agents, and are going to law with him on ths
subject.

of prominent citizens, Office holders and others,
who were engaged 10 the recent disgraoeful riot
10 tha. city, by which the President was pre-
vented from speaking. Il boldly charges that
the riot was melted 10 order to cover the assas-
siuation of Mr. johnson. One pIstol-ehot, evil
dentIy aimed at him, struck within a few feet Of
his head The evidence of youth is given to
the effect that he was paid SIS to huri asisrge
stone at the President, and further proof is ad-
duced that desperate characters were brought
from other places to engage in the riot. Threats
were openly made, for several days before the
visit of the President, that be should not leave
Indianapolis alive. Such are the Legitimate
fruits of Radcalism.

SERVED HER RIGHT-An amusing incident
is told of woman in England, wi ose husband,
a rich man, died suddenly, without leaving any
will. The widow, desirous to get all the pro-
perty, concealed her husbands death, aad per-
suaded poor shoemaker to take his Place while
a will could be made. Accordingly he was
closely mufled in bed, as if very sick, and
lawyer was called to write will The shoe
maker in feebled voice, bequeathed half of all
the property to the widow. "What shall be
done with the remainder ?" asked the lawyer
''The remainder replied he, II give and be-
queath to the poor little shoemaker across the
street, who has always been good ne;ghbor
and deserving man; )" thus securing rich be-
quest for himself The widow was thunder
struck at the mans audacous cunning, but did
not dare expose the fraud, and so two rogues
shared the estate

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald states that he has reason to believe
that Mr. Davis will be released 10 few days on
bai-that the President has desired that he
should be brought to trial, but that, as it is un
derstood in official circles his trial will not take
place at the October term, his release may be
looked for after, but not till after that time
1t is also stated that Mr. Davis had beeL offered
his release on condition Of his leaving the coun-
try never to return, and that he Indignantly re-
jected it on those terms.

FROM CANADA-The n. Y. Herald's Cana
da correspondence says there is no abatement in
the excitement concerning the Fenians. It is
also said that the Canadians are organizing in
squads to make raids upon the American bor-
der towns, in revenge for the Fenian raids upon
Canada.
The N. Y. World makes the exciting an
nouncement, that four regiments of negroes are
being organized in New York city, and african
loyal Leagues organized and armed in every
ward. The soldiers are being instructed in
drill, &c, by Col. Hawkins. The World asks,

No WONDER MONEY IS SCARCE l-THE
CAUsE.-If the practice of distilling corn into
whiskey be not abandoned, there will not only
be scarcity of corn for bread, but 10 money
will be left in the State for any purpose. A
bushe of corn yields three gallons of whskey-
the tax on which for the Government is 81
gallon, or S6 for each bushel of corn distilled,
which is taken entirely away, as the Govern
ment expends very little money in the State.
Money is not brought into the State by the sale
of this whiskey, it all being consumed at home,
for, whiskey made of corn that costs Sl.25 per
bushel, cannot compete with wbiskey made of
corn that costs only 35 or 40 cents bushel, as
in the Northwest, in distant markets. Whiskey
sells at So so per gallon, and pay duty of 81,
leaving the manufacturer SO cents for the priv
ilege of sending out Of the neighborhood, county
and State 81, or Sc for each bushel of corn dis
titled. 1t requires no mathematician to tell how
soon the last dollar will be drained from our
midst. No wonder money IS scarce and grow
ing scarcer !-.Stdtesviue american.

THE RIGHT posIrIoM

Herschell V. johnson, of Ga, is out in let

Convention. He concludes thus:
"Wherein differ from the platform and ad
dress, will differ 10 peace as with friends. and
lock shields with them against the common enc.
my. l say God speed to the work which was
begun in Philadelphia. Every consideration Of
interest and patriotism calls upon us to aid in
the work of restoration. We can never sue
cessfully organize our agricultural labor; capi-
tai will not flow to US Tor the devsiopement of
our unbounded natural resources; population
will not Increase rapidly nor prosperity return
to US, SO long as the present political derange-
ment continues. We shall be the helpless VIC
tins of misrule aud despotism. The domina-
ton of the radicals must be broken down or
constitutional liberty is lost, and the South
doomed to the saddest fate that ever befell q
civilized people. Our duty is plain. 1t involves
ho dishonor. It requires US to practice pa
tience, forbearance, concliation, and resignation
to present evils for the sake of greater future
good. We cannot expect to have things all our
own way. If we could, our situation were quito
different. We wish that we were free from
debt, and that no stay law was necessary to save
the people from utter ruin. But the war brought
the one and sense of self.preservation among
the people demands the other If we could
have things all our own way, the war had re-
suited differently, we would have taken our po-
sition as an independent power among the fami-
ly Of nations But providence ordained other
wise, and we must obey the irrevocable decree
1t is the part Of wise and liberal statesmenship
to tolerate what it cannot prevent, and seek, by
appeal to reason and patriotism, to mitigate
what it cannot control. To learn this is one Of
the most valuable lessons for individual life.
1t is SO for States. 1t brings comparative hap
piness to both, whilst the heart frets and chates
under the friction of vain resistance"
