WASHINGTON D. G. Jan. 10Th 1877.
The Democrats Of Washing ton will
celebrate this dry By most cnthuSi.
astic meeting ut til" Opera House. All
tho Democrats of Washington arc be-
levers in the Inauguration of Tildeu,
and tho meeting will be. limited ouly
by the capacity Of the house. It will
send greetings Of confidence aud en-.
couragement to all parts Of the coun.
try.
Much Importance is attached, By
some, by . telegram alleged to have
been sept by Secretary Chandler to
Republican managers in Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana. ordering that
these States b. returned" for Hayes
and Wheeler. The dispatch is said to
have been sent the day after tho cleo
tion. No doubt Chandler was capable
Of sending such a dispatch, for did he
not, on that duy, telegraph oil Ovef the
country that Hayes hHd carried Loui-
siana, though be knew the Democrats
had u majority Of 5000? And was
not that dispatch all tho order tina.

returning board needed? ~ do not
believe in violence" said a radical to

means reform from violence but yOu.

believe Chandler sent any palmer dis
patch than the one claiming Louisiana,
for the reason that no plainer ono was
needed.
Attention is again called to tho Su-
premc Court, Us an ultimate tribunal

Land Tit!es.

Ono Of the groa. drawbacks to in
ducc emigration to this State,is the uu.
certainty Of land titles in many Of the
counties; and this has been brought
about, in great degree, by the i'm
pcrfective aud uniutelligibls laws rcla.
ling to tho sales Of land for taxes, 80.
Tho present. Legislature should remedy
this evil as far as possible. Senators
BOanstt and Golf succeeded in getting
a bill through tho Senate last winter,
but failed in tho House for want Of
time, which was q great Improvement
on tho present laws, and We trust tho
present Legislature will pass that bill,
or something similar. 1t is tho duty Of
the Legislature to remedy this evil and
wo hops that they will consider this
subject in the early part Of the session.
