LAND CASE DEcIDED.-An important land suit
involving extensive mineral lands in Bath county.
was decided in Judge McLaughlin's court, last
week, at Bath G.. H. 1t was the case of Randolph
VS.. Dempsey, for ejectment. The tract embraced
the old Cope survey which had been held in
possession by citizens of Bath for probably 30
years. The argued by Baldwin and
Cochran ofthis city, for plaintiff, and by Skeen,
Parrish, and rerril and McAlister, for defendants
The jury returned verdict for plaintiff, who is a
resident of Pennsylvania, we believe. 1t has been
stated to US, that he discussion between the le-
gal gentlemen very. animated, and great deal
feeling manifested. An appeal was made by de
PENDANTS counsel in behalf Of the occupants Of
the land, because of their being natives of the
section where the land isslocated. Col Baldwin
met this with fierce and powerful attack, which is
thought had much to do in determining the judg-
ment of the jury.

to learn that he has entirely recovered the use of
his arm and leg, ard is now only affected with de-
blitv. The attack on this occasion similar
in character, but more aggravated, to the one he
had several months ago. He had recently been
to New York to cansul; eminent medical gentle
men, as to his health, and was Informed that he
was in perfect health, and could resume with i'm
punity his usual labors. Since then he has peen
engaged in several important cases, requiring
great mental labor A few days previous to this
attack he appeared in an Important land suit IN
Bath county, involving large property, in which
he made one of the ablest arguments of his life,
as we learn, and gained the case. He slept but
little the night succeeding, anu at 4 clock tue
following morning took the stage at warm Springs
and travelled to hillboro, and then entered the

The wawaset Tragedy.

There Is y general feeling in the community
that there should be . moro searching enquiry
into the causes that lead TO the wawaset TRACE
dy than was made by the King George Jury. 1t
Is evident that the number of deaths were in
excess Of the fret reports, which were then sup
posed to be greatly exaggerated. Over fifty
bodies have already been recovered, and many
persons are yet missing, including a number of
small children who were not registered, and
who were probably burned on the steamer.
This would be an appalling proportion Of lost,
even in case Of q similar disaster at sea; and
that sixty or seventy persons persisted within a
few yards Of shore on calm river shows some
thing radically wrong in the management of a
vessel to which 50 many lives were entrusted.
The captain seems to have stood by his vessel to
the last; but there an utter absence of
anything like nerve or head in looking after the
safety of the passengers. There should have
been some officer on the boat having the nerve
and discretion to stand, pistol in hand, by the
life-boats and see that they were properly low
cred, and that the helpless women and children
were first put ashore. Ii is requisite to inquire
too, why 1t was that the life preservers we're not
In position TO be available, and why the floats
quired to be provided were not there. 1t will
be seen by the item elsewhere that an investi-
CATION of the kind above suggested is to be made
by the government.

scan the United States enlist in the military
service member of state militia organiza-
tom" is a question which now comes up for an
Official answer. A recruiting officer of cavalry
in Richmond, Virginia, was recently applied to
by member Of the Virginia militia for enlist
ment. The Wig, Of that city, says: "This man
Is regularly sworn in as a soldier of Virginia,
and armed and equipped by the state, and to
serve her i've years as an enlisted man; in addi-
ton to this these men are sworn to obey the
laws and constitution Of the United States, and
In case Of invasion are liable to be called into
the service OF the general government. Thus
II Is very delicate question, and we understand
that the recruiting officer is holding the appli-
cation in allegiance until he can hear from head
quarters

Another Lie About the District Gov.
ernment Exploded,

A state m mt was telegrsphed from this CIV
on FIR day night and appeared in the New York
tribune and other papers north and west to the
effect that the 500 900 of the city bonds issued
under Mayor Emery's administration, and
which matured on the LIST instant, have not all
been paid, and complaints are becoming
frequent at the delay" that "the holders have
been offered the face of the bonds in new GER
tihcates of the Board of Public Works, but they
have been invariably declined;" that "small
holders are obliged to watt" that stbe redemp-
ton OF the bonds referred to is practically sus-
pended &c, &c. These allegations having
been shown to Mr.. Moses Kelly, cashier of
the National Metropolitan Bank of this city,
and treasurer of the sinking fund who pays the
Emery bonds, he makes the following clear and
concise statement:
1.-The bonds referred to, amounting to about
$50 ,OCo, (includng interest, are being paid off
as rapidly as can be done with safety The
certificates are all of one denomination, fifty
dollars, and each has to be carefully examined
and registered before payment can be made.
one clerk Is exclusively employed on this duty,
and any one of ordinary intelligence can readily
see that it requires time to receive and properly
dispose of ten HOasaHd 10 ,OOO) or more of these
bonds. Up to this time, however, about
$4,000 in amount have been retired, and
others are being paid as fast as practicable.
Those Offering them are served in regular
order, no preference having been given to
banks or large holders over others. No pay-
ments have been made in per cent. certid-
Gates, for the Commissioners of the Sinking
FUND have none at their disposal to offern
The proprietors of the papers who are being
imposed upon by these scoundrelly lies sent
from Washington to depreciate the District
credit owe 1t to themselves to make inquiry
what influences have bee n brought to bear tn
cause the insertion of these statements in their
Washington dispatches.
