Defective Titles.

1t is estimated, by competent au-
thorities, that over one-fourth OF all
lands in this County that have been
several times conveyed have defect
i've titles. One great cause of this Is,
errors in descriptions-ofWhic some
notable instances might be named
and another cause is the lack of hav-
ing conveyances duly recorded. In
Ohio, Kentucky, and perhaps some
other States, the law requires that
deeds be recorded within specified
times; but in this State, in the abb
sence of such requirement, large
numbers of deeds remain unrecorded,
and therefore subject to any accident
that may happen to any mere loose
piece of paper. Hence, deeds being
lost, come many breaks in the chain
of titles.
And sometimes deeds are left III

Chickens Coming Home to
ROOGf.

The case of Pratt, arrested in New
York, for murder and treason i'm
Texas, will probably result in Il fine
illustration Of the truth that there
are some things besides chickens
which come home tOroost. Pratt
was arrested by United States oiii-
cials. His brother Democrats of
New York, sympathizing with him
fully of course, proposed to get him
released from tho United States au-
thorities, by some of the lovely
courts of that city, through the ma
chinery of h0Jeds corpus. A last
nights New York dispatch shows
the situation at that time:
"Soldicrs from.FOrt Hamilton are
at the United States Court rooms, to
protect Marshal Barlow from arrest
by Judge McCunn for refusing to re-
lease Pratt. McCunn bad made out
orders Of arrest, aud, threatened TO
call out the Goth regiment 10 sustain
him. After an interview with Dis
trict Attorney Pierrepont he with
drew the orders, and promises to
take no further Steps in.the matter
till Monday. PierfepQnt. tod him

accordance with Democratic doctrine
as laid down by Judge fancy and
others in fugitive slave cases; that

state Taxes.

Some weeks ago, in urging re-
duction Of the State levy from two
and o half to one and half mills,
we estimated the assessment of The
state at $500, 900, 600. The amount
returned by the assessors is $297, ,lG2,-
936. The Census Board adopted our
suggestion in part. The levy has
been reduced to two mills on the dol
lar. We believe it might andshould
have been, at the highest, not more
than one and half mills. The facts
concerning the condition of the State
Treasury, are, however, better known
to the Census Board than to us, and
we do not question their integrity or
their steadfast purpose to act for the
best interests Of the State. But we
fear they do not quite realize the ur-
gent demand there is on the part Of
the people for rigid economy, and
for the reduction Of taxes to the low
est practical figures.--Houheye.

The position of Pierrepont is well
taken. The people of the North
Centre will recollect the Booth case
in Wisconsin, number of years ago,
in the dreadful old days Of slavery.

claim to-and say that if the United
States would recognize them they
could gain complete control of the
island in a short time. And the
New York Cuban Junta claim to
have assurances of such recognition
from this country and Russia-but
they undoubtedly lie, as usual. Per

has materially strengthened its forces
