ia SENATE CHAMBER, March 25, 1867.
Dear Sir-Yours of the 18th is re-
ceived. My vote for the bill you re-
fer to was given, not because / APP
proved of it, but because / knew that
if defeated, or not carried out by the
South, other means runious to them,
in every way, would follow,
I wished by. my vote (hoping that
the South would not doubt my desire
to serve them, and the whole country
to place myself in condition to adj

ceptance than / would be if had vo-
ted against it. r.,

FoRGoT How TO CRow.-The reason
why the Southern papers do not make
so much "jubilation" over the Con-
necticut election, as some of their con
sentative contemporaries in the North
do, the Richmond Wing says, is ''be-
cause they have forgotten how to
crow over election results"

MEXICAN LABOR The demand for
Mexican laborers, vice negro laborers
last year, employed on plantations,
continues brisk is this market. A
gentleman. from the Navidad, Layada
county, is now here, endeavoring to
supply the places, made vacant by the
absence, without leave, of his force of
negroes, with whom he had made con
tracts for the year. He applied to the
Freedmen's Bureau for redress of
grievances, which was granted by re-
lieving him of the burden of the con
tract thus summarily broken on the
one side.-San Antonio Herald. II

A New Orleans correspondent of the
Charleston Courier attributes the destrIc.
ton of levees on the Mississippi to the dep
relations of the "clayfsh." He says: "The
clayGsh is dirt digger. Innumerable as
the white annts, they live like troglodytes,
in dark cayerns, along tho sides of every
stream, pool, lagoon, or river, in the banks
of which they scoop out their habitations"

still lies in Chatham county Jail. His edito

The Boston Post says We often boast of
"healthy New England" in comparison with
the Southern States, but figures show that
there are more people die of consumption in
the State of Maine, according to her popula-
ton, than Louisiana loses by yellow fever
and cholera

bales while the II A. NJ. dispatch from New
York represent the movement there as dull but
without any quotable change in prices. There
are several parties looking around, but thus
far we have not heard of any transactions, the
great disparity between the views OF buyers
and sellers preventing sales from being con-
summated. The downward movement in ster-
ling exchange is also exercising an unfayorable
influence. Bill

A Washington dispatch of Monday,
10Th, to the New Orleans press, says:
"The Supreme Court of the United

the Mississippi bill against the Presi-

filed, as the same objection did not
apply to the latter"

DECISIONS OF THE AlGH COURT
ERRORS AND APPEALS,
"a JANUARY TERM. 1866. -

Robert Portwood
Opinion ofthe Court delivered By Justice
| ElleH. cfl9l KIN KFE
county.
This was an action of replevn to recover
horse. On the triul theplaintiff testified that
| in June, 1897, he purchased negro Of one
Magee and gave bin the horse now In contro-
yersy at the sum OF $3.50, In part payment, that
afterwards one Tindle claimed the negro; and
alleged she had been stolen from him, and
plalntihf being satisfied that the negro had been
stolen, gave her up TO rihdie. He stated that
the horse was worth $3.50, and that in the early
part Of september. 1859, he saw the horse In
possession OF defendant Lee. .s7sss@
TindIe testified that the negro had been
stolen from him-that he found her in posses
| sion ofplaintif, and afterwards sold her to him
| for 81 900. fThis-was all the evidence on the
part Of the plaintiff. u iiH.Q GNGp
Defendant then offered to prove that Magee
afterwards sold the horse TO Riley for $780,,
which was paid by Riley In cash, and that he
purchased the horse from Riley for n valuable
consideration, without notice ofthe manner In
inwhich he wasObtained from plaintiff. This
evidence was ruled out by the court, and q bill
ofexceptions taken, and this action of the court
Is assigned for error. * "
1t seems very clearthatthe evidence offered
10y the defendant Fought tohave been admitted.
The proper rule on the SUBJECTS clearly stated
lnSlOry on Sales lOJ, ana Is amply sustained
by authority, There IL, however, q distinction
which obtains between cases where sales are
made of property to which the vendor has OBJ
tanned title by fraudulent means, and eases
where the vendor has no title, and has obtain
ed posscsson-ofthe goods by felony or chahcc,
| or who holdsthem as n mere bailee. In the
former class Of cases, where the vendor has OBJ
tanned his title by fraudulent representations,
| or articles, he can make valid sale of the
goods to a bond tide purchaser for a valuable
consideration, SO as to deprive the original
owner of his power to reclaim them. The rea-
| son Of this rule is, that where property is OH
tained with the assent of the real owner, howe
yer, he may have been deceived. The contract
IL not void, but onlyvoidable at the instance Of
the party deceived. The valid title, therefore.
passes 20 the yendee, subject in deed TO the
avoidance of the contract by the vendor, but
being perfectly good until such avoi lance Is
made. 1fthen the vendee should, while in pos
session ofthe goods, and before the nnllitica-
ton of the contract by the vendor; sell to a
bona, tide purchaser for valuable considera-
tion, the sale would be binding as against the
original vendor"
This principle applies fully to the case Of the
horse in controversy, which was sold by the
fraudulent vendee to d bona-tide purchaser; for
value, without notice. If the facts were as Of
fered to be proved, they would constitute a
good defence to the action. t.i8,
The judgmentwih therefore be reversed, and
the cause remanded for new trial.
