elections in all parts of the country still
continue unfavorable to the Democrats
In Albany county, New York, the Repub-

Jersey City, which was decidedly Demo-

mayor in Paterson. They have. gained su-
pervsors in several counties in New Jer-

have majority in Somerset county. In

The political canvass in the District of
Columbia is of the most spirited character.
We entertain no doubt as to the result
The Democratic party there, with the stu
pidity that characterizes all its movements,
headed its ticket with R. 7. Merrick, known
at Chicago, where he resided, as one of the
fercest and most blatant Copperheads.
While Northern men feel kindly toward
the great body of the Southern army, they
cannot forgive such traitors as Merrick,
who invoked struggle in which they
were too mean and cowardly to take part.

An Interesting Case.

More than thirty years ago Il suit WAS ln>tl
tuted in the Circuit court Of Richmond, OF
which Judge Nicholas was then the judge. by
Henry Kings executor vs.. lsham Puckct and
Seymour p. Vial, which gave rise to remarka
Die duel Of special pleading between James
Lyons, esq, for the plaintiff, and the late
John VI. Patton, esq, for the defendant, ter.
minating in Il demurrer to sur-rcbutter, anC
Judgment for the plaintiff.
From the Judgment Vial obtained an appea
to the Court of Appeals of Virginia, who unit
matcy affirmed the judgment of Judge Ncho
las.
Vial than obtained an injunction from the
Court Of Chancery upon new matter alleged,
and from that time until the last term OF the
court held by Judge Meredith King execu-
tor was pursuing his claim, except during the
war, and ultimately obtained a decree tor It,
In the meantime Vial had died, his personal
estate had been exhausted, and his real estate
devised to his executor to be sold and the pro.
cceds distributed among certain OF his relations;
and then it became necessary to tile supple
mental bill to subject the real estate OF Vial to
sale for the payment OF the debt.
The counsel for the executor Of Vial insisted
that no decree could be rendered for the sale
of the real estate, without making all the dew
sees parties defendants which would probably
have led to another thirty years litigation, be-
cause their name was legion.
For the plaintiff, it was insisted that that was
not necessary, because the real estate hay ing
been devised to be sold, was to be treated as
legal assets under chapter l3l of the Code of
Virginia. and WAS. therefore, represented by
the executor, and after very full argument by
Messrs. Lyons and Meredith for the plaintiff,
and Steger & Sands for the defendant, Judge
Fitzhugh, in very able and elaborate opinion
decided in favor of the plaintiff, and rendered
decree for the sale Of the land.
The case is one of interest, not only because of
its age, and the fact, as we are informed, that
it is the only one probably ever occurring in
the State, in which the contest Of special
pleading went so far as demurrer to a sur re-
butter, but, because it is the first deliberate
decision expoundng the statute In respect to
real assets, applying to it the principles of
representation established by the Court of APP
pcals in the case of Davis vs. Faulkner, IS
Graft. D. 65l. and if sustained, as doubtless it
will be, by the Court Of Appeals, creditors
seeking to charge the real estate of deceased
debtors, will be saved great deal Of delay,
trouble and expense, and, therefore,. we have
thought it was well to take this notice of the
Richmond Wing.
