CHAPTER cCCIJX.

A Further Supplement to the act respecting
conveyances approved April fifteenth, one
thousand ii hit hundred and forty-six.
Whereas, before the act setting off the county
of Hudson from the county Of Bergen took
effect, certain conveyances of land lying in
that part Of Bergen afterwards inclnded in
Hudson, were made and delivered, but were
not recorded until after the above mention
ed act took effect, and were then recorded
in the record of deeds for Bergen County,
and while the record remains, the deeds are
lost (; for remedy whereof
/. BE il enacted by the Senate and General
Assembly OF the State of New Jersey, That in
any case where deed of conveyance of lands,
tencments or Entertainments, lying and being
within the county of Bergen, as 1t existed be-
fore the erection of the county of Hudson, has
been recorded in the Office of the clerk or regis
ter of deeds, in said county Of Bergen, when
it ought at the date of its record to have
been recorded in the county of Hudson, and
the original deed has been lost. 1t shall be law
full for any person having an interest In such
lands, to cause such record to be transcribed
into the record of deeds Of Hudson, and snch
transcribed record, or copy thereof certified
by the said clerk or register, in whose office
the said record is kept shall be received in
evidence in any court of this state, and he as
good and effectual in law, as IF the original
deed or conveyance was produced or proved ;
provided, that every such deed shall be void
and of no effect against subsequent judg-
ment creditor, bona fide purchaser or mort
papee for valuable consideration, not having
notice Thereof
2. And he it enacted That this act shall take
effect Immediately.

THE COMMON CouNc,,. Am ,rs e.r,ou

| The COMMON COUNCIL AND ITS ACTION
Five members of the Common Council of this
city seem to have had the impression that the
giving of city advertising to THE RECORD was
bride to silence respecting their actions as
public officers. This they have learned was a
mistake--THE RECORD has not failed to con-
denim their recreancy to the real interests of
the people Of the city--and in their rage they
thought to annihilate it by taking away from
it small amount of printing. The few dol
lars and cents thus lost to us are of small ac-
count but the dictatorial spirit evinced calls
for rebukc. The best public officer is not
above criticism in this land, much less men
some of whom should be in jail, instead of in
the Common Council. No such efforts will
deter us from discharging ourduty to the pub
lie. As these gentlemen have thrown down
the gauntlet they need not be surprised if we
take it up. Their resolution (Which appears
in the Council proccedings) is grossly hypo-
critical and untruthful, for they know and
the public know that it was the criticisms of
the RECORD and not desire to save expenses
to the city, which led to their action. All
of these men had few weeks previous, voted
to reduce the price of license to some saloons
all of them voted against an ordinance which
justly saved round sum per year to the city,
part of them had been quite anxious to give
salary to an officer who has not asked it and
who ought not to receive it; and all of them
knew that the RECORD charges were less for
the same work than those of the paper they
adopted astheir organ. Other instances might
benamed, but these are sufficient to show their
duplicity. And yet these men want to save
expense to the city! The great trouble is
they care little or nothing about it, for they are
men who pay little or no taxes, and have not
principle enough to look after the taxpayers
interests when their own can be better sub
served.
How such men ever got into Council is
a wonder Morally and intellectually they
are untitled for their positions, and grossly
disgrace our city by their actions. Two of
them are by common report selling whiskey
without license, and one of them is known
to have sold on Sunday, and is believed to do
so constantly. These men, as we have said
should be in Jail and not in the Council.
Another, boldly boasted at recent meeting
that he had knowingly violated the laws of
State by smuggling whiskey into it and
all of them have deied the moral sentiment
of the city.
We regret that pressure Of business has
prevented us from doing full justice to these
gentlemen in this article. We shall find plen-
ty of time, however, between this and next
spring, for that purpose.

THE "MoDoCs" IN CoUNCIL.-A secret pow
WOW of the g Modocs'' belonging to the .big
Council" was held in the lava beds few
evenings since, to take action on important
matters. Tricky Mike called the .'injuns" to
order. There was some difficulty in getting a
chief. Finally it was proposed that one of the
well-known Smith family be chosen. Objec-
ton was made that he was ''furreigner. "
One of the warriors said that his being born in
the United States was against him, but he
couldn't help it, and that he had all the cha
racteristics of native, and was therefore fit
ted to be their leader. Like his ancestor, Capt.
John Smith, he had been captured and an eff
fort had been made to batter out his brains,
but after pounding him all over, it had been
given up as an impossible job and had been
adopted by them. He moved he be elected
chief and be hereafter known to the Modocs
as Shacknasty Jim The name was adopt
ed and the big chief took the s'chear." A
brave said they wanted some one now to keep
record of the proceedings, whcrcupon IA tre-
mendous whoop went up. the warriors dcclar-
ing they didn't want any RECoRD-they had
had enough of it already. Another member
moved that they light the council fires and
hold big talk. The chief ordered that a
beacon-light be set up as a warning to all med
dlers whereupon small "penny dip" was
brought out, which, set upon barrel marked
with the mysterious hieroglyphics, ''W. |. s.
KE,'' gave kind of neutral tint to the
crowd. The big chief then said the pow-wow
had been called to devise means to punish a
pale-face who had dared to enter the hunting
grounds and shoot at them-true, he had only
fired paper wads, but he had found out by
experience that they hurt, and are also terribly
annoying. Cupola Pat moved a series OF
resolutions, declaring that in order to save
tax to the tribe, no work be given to the
"hathen yankee pale-face." A rather stupid
member of the tribe wanted to know "what
the dvil difference it made how much tax
money was spent as long as other folks paid
it.. He thought the meeting was called not
to save expense, but to take the scalp of the
pale-face Cupola Pat said Arrah, boy, but
that's .jist what we're being afther doing, but
yez knows that the Modocs must close up the
eyes of the pale-faces first by strategy true
Modoc on the war-path always says one thing
and names anither.'' The resolution was
adopted. The question then arose as to who
should present the resolution before the big
Council the next night, of which some pale
faces were members. 1t was finally decided
that Highland Chief who had been recently
captured by them, and who was therefore ex-
pected to do their sculion-work, should do it,
he having ready tongue and a quiet con-
science. After a war-dance around the mys-
terious BARREL and the administering to the
sick land all were sick of Modoc bitters by
the medicine man, they returned to their
wigwams.
The proceedings of the big Council will be
found elsewhere.

.WHAT is THE OBJEcr. The Beacon has
been exercised in mind in one or two recent
issues concerning the renting Of Soffices in the
County buildings at Pennington, and wish
es folks to enquire of the Chosen Freehold
er respecting it. This, we are told, is sly
attack on Capt. Jas. Bird, of this city, while
recent communication it publishedis an open
one. We do not just see what is the object
Capt Bird has recently come up quite promi-
nently as the Democratic candidate for As
sembly i'll this district, and until this, the
father of the editor of that paper had the in
side track for the Democratic nomination.
We trust that there is no design on the part of
the editor to crowd the Captain out of the
way. We have always found Capt Bird to be
fair and square, honorable man, and as such he
deserves fair and square treatment at the
hands of his party and it is hardly just for
neutral paper to become the organ of a fac
ton of the Democratic party, even if it does
allow its correspondents to call people "black
Republicans
1t is of no consequence, however, who gets
the nomination. The people have decided to
return Mr.. VIM. L. Hoppock, Jr., to the seat
he SO honorably and ably filled last winter.
When other men wavered he manfully stood
by the people who elected him, a representative
likely thatthey intend to. reward his faithful
ness by defeat at the polls. lie is going
back again--just mark that!

RUNAwAY.--On last Sunday afternoon as
Mr.. Hezekiah Hoff was returning from Ser
geantsville in a carriage, accompanied by his
father and mother, and when just above this
city, the horse stepped on a crooked stick of
wood, which bounded up between the horses
legs, frightening him, and fell into one of the
Wheels breaking out most of the spokes. The
horse started to run away, but Mr.. Hoff ran
him into fence. The carriage was upset,
the road and was finally caught in the lower
part of the city. Fortunately none of the oc-
cupants were seriously hurt, although they
were considerably bruised. The wagon was
pretty badly smashed,

rY Some time since we chronicled the fact
that troupe of negro minstrels failed to draw
a house in this city, and we wondered whether
it was owing to an improvement in public
taste TO some other cause. Last week another
performance was given, we are told, with a
similar result. Since Prof. Smiths show has
been exhibiting, other performances appear
tame and don't draw. We advise all showmen
having anything approaching the line of bust
ness of his troupe, to stay away, or else induce
his troupe to trayel--we especially advise the
latter.

three dollars and twenty cents, and was

mis- and family were away from home attend
ing the Episcopal Sunday School Picnic, the
house was entered between and o'clock,
by man about 25 years of age, of medium
height, wearing calico shirt, dark clothing
and slouched hat. He stole a gold watch and
chain, two bracelets, one plain gold ring,
some gold sleeve buttons, earrings, one silver
dollar and other silver pieces, four gold dol
lars, and three dollars in currency, one ma
sonic mark, heavy gold cross and other
valuable articles
He pried the bureau drawer open with pair

almost certainly have happened, the bed Of

the charge of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. The Mayors office was crowded by
spectators, anxious to see the gay and festive
swndler. e
Sunday evening a carriage with the Mar
shall and other officers came from Princeton,
and efforts were made to have the prsone r
transferred to that town. After considerable
deliberation the prisoner was given mp, and he
was Immediately conveyed to Princeton.
EVIDENT MURDER Some time last fan,
the wife of Andrew Sheets--who did not live
on very peaceable terms with her husband
suddenly disappeared from their home near
High Bridge, the husband reporting that she
had gone off with certain colored man but
facts proved he had not been away at all.
The neighbors being aware that Sheets and
wife did not lead very congenial life, sup
posed that they had a quarrel, and she had
left. A short time ago some men at work in
the woods near the residence of Sheets, had a
dog with them, who, some time during the
day. in hunting around, began to bark and
howl near fallen tree. Thinking he might
have found some game, they went to him, and
seeing some ground that had been thrown up
they made an excavation and to their horror
and surprise they discovered the bones and
hair of a woman which, a neighbor-woman is
willing to testify, is the hair of Mrs. Sheets
Circumstances point to Sheets as the murder
er of his wife, and he disappeared about the
time Of the discovery Of the remains, which
seem to confirm the suspicion against him.
These are the circumstances of the case, as
related to u.s. and we give them as we receive
them, adding that since the discovery, gentle
man of this town, who is well acquainted with
Sheets, informs us that he was in this town a
s. OFT i ne ago, pretending to be hun ,g work !;
that he told him where he thought he could
get job, but he did not so after it that in con-
versation he asked Sheets if he and his wife had
parted, and he said she had gone off some
where, he hardly knew where, but it was
hardly worth while to say anything about it,
We hear that efforts are being made to as
certain the whereabouts of Sheets, and we hope
they will prove successful, and that the mys-
terry which hangs over this horrible tragedy
will be cleared up White House Casket.

New Hope, this week, between the captain OF
boat and hand. The next day the Cap
issued for the man. He was brought before
Esquire Johnson and while the hearing was
going on, the man attacked the captain. For
this he was put in the lookup, aud afterwards
committed to Doylestown.
