Who Owns the Village of Belmont.

The ejectment case of j. NJ. Smith
Of Mineral Point VS. VIM. A. Garden
Of Belmont, one of several brought
to settle this question was tried last
week at Darlington before Judge
Mills.
The Plaintiff set up that The Deed
from Daniel Webster to Henry Hub
bard (then u. S Senator from New
Hampshire Dated June 9th 1910 un-
der which the Defendant claims title
and holds possession of a lot in the
Village of Belmont, was not valid as
against subsequent bona fde purchas-
ers. This Deed was wledged
in the District OF Columbia before
one Justice Of the Peace, the law
there requiring two Justices to GER
tify TO the acknowledgment Of
Deeds, and our law requiring the &c
acknowledgements Of Deeds in another
State to be according to the laws of
that State. Judge Mills held with
the Plaintiff that the Deed was not
entitled to record in this State on ac-
count of the above defect and not
notice TO subsequent purchasers.
The Plaintiff claimed title under a
later deed from Daniel Webster to
Harmon Cobe and Thos. S. Taylor
dated April 28th, 1871.
The defendant contended that this
Deed also was not entitled TO be re-
corded, il having been acknowledged
in the District of Columbia. where
the law required the Officer taking
the acknowledgement to certify that
he knew the person acknowledging
the Deed. Judge Mills held this
Deed not entitled to record because
it did not meet the requirements of
the law. AS it was necessary for
the plaintiff to rely on his own title,
and not on the defects in the dcfcn-
dants title, the former could not re-
cover and the latter was left in the
peaceable possession,of the premises.
Other important questions not nee
cessary to state arose in the trial
The case will undoubtedly be taken
to the Supreme Court.

1t is very evident that the violent course
of the rebel Democracy of Tennessee has
put their legislation in very doubtful Po-
sition, besides impairing the Claim of their
new Senator, in place of Fowler to seat
in Congress Had they not deliberately
broken all their pledges after the precedent
of the rebellion, and ratified the fifteenth
amendment, they would have saved them
selves But their Intolerance and cruelty
have consolidated the lately deyided Re
publicans, and disgusted many OF the gen
He,ne,s on their own side. A leading ez-
Confederate, who served some years ago in
Congress, writes to a friend IN Washington
in bitter contempt of the bad faith of his
associates.

TIE Governors Message.

We lay before our readers, Ills week, the

throughout, and will he found uuasaally IL

From the message it appears that, fnar-
cially, the State is in sound condition

The common school system seems to be
in healthy condition. 81 the school dis
tricts ia the State, but five. have adopted
the system; and OF these, folr districts i
is believed, will do SO shortly, leaving but
one without it-Economy, below Pittsburg.
There are in operation now / 3 $50 common
schools aud 2,445 graded schools, employ

thing should be done for these; but what :?
Compel them 10 attend school; is tie only
remedy Parents have no right to neglect
the education Of their Children. and the in
terests of society demand that they should
be compelled toeducate them, by law. lg
torrance and crime are twin demons. To
prevent crime you should compel education.
The public is furnished with full insight
into ,he extent of the pardon business so
wantouly and nlcsnly charged upon the
Governor by the unscgupnlous Democrats
during the last political canvass. During
the year ending Dec. 81, 1869, $50 appli
cations for pardon were made, of which only
50 were granted This is triumphant an.
