NEW ORLEANS, June II, 1870.
Editor Clarion Perhaps it would be
agreeable to your readers to drop you a
line, now and then. as to the dOings in this
Southern metropolis.
Within the last few days there has been
no little stir and discussion, among certain
mobiles, in the city as to the judgments which
have been rendered in the courts In some
remarkable cases before them. The Jackson
Railroad war is still carried on with vigor,
but III. S. McComb has the inside track thus
far, and will be sure to win in the outcome.
The Slau Inter House monopolists have been
thrown H0rs dss o0slhdt. by the decision of
bantling. The Times has lost its temper in
their defense, and calls its contemporaries
hard Names But they are now under ban
and win not be able'to recover any vantage
ground. ~ AZ. -..54s 1.
Another remarkable case. which has been
before the courts for IS years-I refer to the
great Gaines case-has been finally settled
in her favor, and valuable properties in this
city have been turned over TO her posses
sion by the U. S. Marshal. But the DEGREES
rendered by Judge Bradley, of the U. s..
Court stops not with the city, it reaches far
up into Mississippi, and falls with crushing
effect upon mum Der of Mississippi planters.
The decision declares all the sales of Mis-
sissippi lands by Relf & Chew, utterly null
and void. and that prescription cannot run
L -
Now, it is well known that valuable plan
tations and lands, beginning at Natchez on
Gen. Quithaan's plantation, and extending
to WoOdville, Miss.-and as low down as
the banks of the Bayou Sara, were fraudu-
Iently disposed of by Ref & Chew. under
the null will of 1911. All these lands and
plantations, come under the sweeping de-
cision just rendered by Judge Bradley,
In so many words, he declares that they
hold in bad faith, and cannot plead peacea-
bic possession or prescription, as all the
sales were made in fraud.
There Is no escape from this dilemma but
by compromise. If they persist in suits 81
law in defense of their title, they will be
carried right up to the Supreme Bench,
which has already. three times decided in
her favor, and all their expenditure will be
for naughs. We say 10 our friends in Mis-
sissippi compromise as speedily as possible,
for in q few weeks this matter win be pressed
upon their attention. A Surveyor, here In
the city. has an old and perfect map Of al
these lands, and viii ere long visit all the
parties. In fact / learn that suit has al
ready been entered in the o. 8. Court al
Jackson, Miss and all the parties will
shortly be served with notices. and il am
not pisinfOrmed, those indomitable and
talented lawyers, Gen. Lowry d Mayors
have charge of all the cases In this impor-
tant matter.

over those who die. But Of all the losses which
human nature is called to weep over, few are
more sad than the death of young wife, and
