Hon. George Williamson.

In is but just to remark that the insignif'
cant vote cast for Hon. George Williamson
for Governor, in the Republican State Con
vention on Monday, was no test of that
gentleman's popularity in the party. There
we're other causes, his friends well knew
why the vote for him was not larger. The
speech of the day, it is everywhere con,
ceded, was that of Hon. j. P. Harris, o.
Pointe Coupee, in offering his name to the
convention; while Judge Fuller, of Web
ster, and other friends, did all ia their
power to present his claims properly before
the convention.

ACurious Question of Law.

A curious question in law arises out OF the
loss of the City of Waco, in Galveston bay,
in November, 1875. A husband and wife
named Rogers were among the ill-fated
passengers, and the heirs Of both are con-
testing a claim to sam %s Of mon money left in in
the question, which died first, the husband
or the wife? 1t the former, then her next
Of kin can claim the money: If the latter
then the husband became her heir -at-law,
and his next of kin has the best claim. 1t is
difficult matter to settle this case under
the circumstances.-Ne,c York Herald.
