VICE PRESIDENT COLrAx on THE POLITICAL

Vice President COltaX arrived In Baltimore yester.
day with his family, en- route to Washington, and
will remain here as the guest Of Mr.. s. H.
Shoemaker until tomorrow afternoon. He Is In fine
health ana buoyant spirits, and said he felt better
ana stronger after his SIX months rest than for
years before. lie expressed great confidence In q
republican triumph In 1872. though he expected the
canvass would be exciting and sharply contested. In
his opinion tue democracy were least dangerous
when most confident; but most to be feared when
adversely has chasliscd them into prudence. Their
many defeats tnis year would teach the democracy
caution as TO the canvass, its issues and It's man-
agement. But, With republican unity ana wise
legislation this winter our party have 1t within their
power to command and 20 achieve success against
all possible Oppositons and combinations and he
said that he should support their nominees zeal
ously as he had during the whole lifetime Of the
party.

frankly declared, that his nfst choice all other
candidates Tor the republican nomination, as
Wen as for reelection, was General Grant.
tween the President, and himself had been
from the outset cordial and unbroken, in spite
of wouldbe mIschei-makers, and he reJoiced that
discords in the party coua be traced to any DIFF
ference between them. lie did not suppose that
the administration niu peen Tree from IliSakeS lOr
he knew he had made many himself during his pub
lie Lie, and had never known President, Congress
man, editor citizen who was infaiibe. PreS
dent Lincoln had made many mistakes as he had
often frankly acknowledged, and despite the per.
s0nal criticisms on President Grant, which have
been so persistent and often unjust, he believed
that five years hence the great benecent results OF
General Grants faithful administration OF national
affairs Will cause 1t to be as proudly remembered
and as widely hon0red as President Linc0ln's Is
now.
The persistent effort to put Mr. ColfaX in the
position OF at least quasl-anagonism TO the renom
inatlOn OF President Grant must be our apology for
thus presenting the substance OF this conversation
to our readers. He said, III you can find any
stronger language to express my views on this point
use 1t freely, as he has not and never has had any
sympathy with those who would prevent the renom
inatlon OF President Grant, and, much less, for
those who would attempt to defeat him and the
republican party after he shall have been renom-

VENDORS LIEN.
BY J. 2. GEORGE.

Instead Of the article on Agricul-
tural Liens, as promised last week,
/ will state some rules about Ven
doris Liens, which may be Of prac-
tical Importance to the people at
large.
Wherever one man sells land to
another, and takes no other security,
the law raises lien in favor Of the
seller, so as to charge the land with
the purchase money, 50 long as it
remains in the hands of purchaser; I;
or in the hands Of n sub purchaser
from him, who has notice that the
purchase money is unpaid. This
lien exists where an absolute deed is
made, which OH the face acknowl-
edges the receipt of tie purchase
money. But where this kind Of d
deed is made, the lien may be de-
feated or lost in several ways.
1st. It's losthy taking other Sc
curity. Either the name Of sccuri-
ty TO the note for the purchase
money, or by taking a Iaotgago ori
lemon some other property.
End. 1t is also lost where the pur-
chaser of land sells to another in
good faith---the sub purchaser get
ting a deed. They may pay the
purchase money without any notice
Or knowledge that the land had not
ocen paid for. In such case, the
seller having made an absolute deed
acknowledging tho receipt of the
purchase money, thereby enable or
put itinto powcrofthe buyer to sell
d good title, and il he do sell 70 4
party having no knowledge that the
purchase money is unpaid, itwculd
be unjust to him, after he had paid
his money, to compel him W
give up the land Or pay more mon
cy To save Il. But II this last pur--

'laar gets n0iies dat the as,ss

money iI'eb fho hen i good bc.
pn'o tho Is., purbaseg an rave
him'elf By paying tae money % srst
,I'ef and getting credit Oh hh
lahtto thc fnhn Who sold 10 him.
The hest way, therefore. ior a
man .c'Iing hnd on = credit. Is
either 10 give bend for lillc when
thc purchase money Is pad Or 10
make q deed spceifying IN il that the
land il cold ior 80 much, on a credit
and that o sfecial mortgage lien is
reserved for The purchase money.
When this is douc, If tho buyer
scil' 70 another, this last purchaser
will be bound to take notice that
land ia not paid for. Because, when
he asks, ashc always ought to, his
vendor or seller, for his title deed,
is produced, It will show on lis face
that the land is not paid for.
And again, when this special
mortgage lien is reserved in the decd
the lien is not lost by transfer OF
the notes for the purchase money,
but it will go tC the assignee and all
snb-assignces Of the note, il there
should be thousand OF them.
And these same benefits will arise
if bond for title is given.
As general rule, il is unimpor-
tant whether a deed, rcserving q
lien, or a bond for title is given.
They both perfectly secure the land
for the payment of the purchase
money; but there are peculiarities
where title bond is given.
LIST. If the purchaser does not pay
the money according to contract,
the seller may tender deed and de-
mand payment, and if payment be
not made the seller may rescind the
contract, and get back his land, but
he must, in that case, pay back
what purchase money he has re-
ceived, after deducting reasonable
rent.
2nd. If the seller has no title, the
buyer may tender the money when
it is due according to the contract,
and demand deed, (that is, when
the last payment is due), and II the
seller can't make title, tho buyer
may rescind aud recover what he
has paid.
3D.. When aman buys land on q
credit, and gives his note for the
purchase money, if he be sued on
the note, he can't defend the hotc
on the ground that he has no title,
unless he has been turned out OF
possession; but If he has a title bond
as to the last payment, he can make
this defense without being turned
out of possession. 1t was once held
that he could mako this defense
against any Of the payments oftLe
purchase money, but the High Court
Ill McMath VS.. johnson upset that
idea, and left the law as above stat
ed.
4th. When there are several uotes
given for the purchase money and
a title bond il given, ora rescrvlng
lien, as before shown; the assignee
of the notes takes the licn also. But
it Is sometimes supposed that the
assignee Of tho note first falling duo
gets an advantage Of priority over
the others; but this is not so-all
the notes will bind the land equally,
and if the land should not sell for
enough to pay all, the proceeds will
be divided among the various hold
ere Of thcnotes pro rata. W. Cdrrolllon
