re- Huzza for California! At the re-
'cent elections fer Governor. Congressman,
and members of the State Legislature. the
radicals were badly beaten. The Conser-
vatives swept the State from Dan to Beer
sneba. They have Conservative Cover
aor. They will have three Congressman =
The Legislature is theirs. They will also
elect two United States Senators. It is
acknowledged that the radicals could have
carried the state-if they had had votes
enough. But they hadn't. The more
honest and patriotic of their party, seeing
1the rascality Of their leaders, voted with
the Conservatives, and thus saved the
State from the radical hades.

IMPORTANT DECISION Judge Thomas
has just delivered an able opinion in one
Of the most important cases that ever
came before our county, the property in
controversy being estimated at 500, goo
in value. The facts briefly are these:
Ia January '63. Mr. Robert Boiling con-
tTacted with Mr. G. Lersner, for the sale
of the magnificent estate, Bollingbrook,
on which he resides, situated in upper
Eauquler; the consideration was to be Con-
federate Treasury notes: Lersner did not
punctually fulfill bis engagement, to pay
the money in cash the war terminated
while Lersner was still in default: Boiling
then claimed that the default of Lersner
had relieved him from all legal obligations
to perform the contract ].ersner fled his
bill vs.. Boiling in the Circuit Court of
Fauq'lier, praying decree for specific ex-
ecution Of the contract. The points of the
defence were-the default of the plaintiff,
Lersner, in failing to pay all the purchase
money associated with the gross made
quacy Of the price, making it inequitabIe
to decree specific performance of SO hard
and unconscionable a bargain Judge
Thomas sustained the position Of the de-
PENDANT, Boiling, and rendered decree
refusing execution Of the contract and Or
dering it to be annulled 1t may be prop
er to add that the principles upon which
this decree was rendered do not rest on
any political considerations, bus are as old
and we'll established as the Court of Chan
Gerry itself. The DECISION SO far we are in
formed givas general satisfaction.
The case was very ably and at great
length argued by Col. j. S Mosby and
Gen. ". Ii. Payne for the defendant, and
by Hon. j. &. Tucker for the plaintiff. -
