The 18th Judicial Circuit.

1t will be seen from the official vote in
this District, that at the late election for
Judge and Prosecuting Attorney, that
Hon, John II. Rogers was elected Judge
and John S. Little, Esq, Prosecuting At
torney. We supported Capt. Rogers for
Judge, believing him to be a gentleman
Noteworthy and capacitated to fill the
high position with honor to himself, and
satisfaction to the legal fraternity of the
district. His term holds only till the
next election, and ample opportunity
will be given him, in the meantime, to
verify or not the predictions we make Of
him. The same may be said of the new
Prosecuting Attorney.
As n Democrat we hope this is the last
of a triangular-scramble for office in the
party, and that hereafter we shall, by
some means, center upon one man, that
victory may be sure.

Record Your Deeds.
work 60 c

Mr.. EpIToR--I have been informed
plobably correctly that seven years
undisturbed possession of Real Estate
under color of title, in the State, gives a
good title, and, under this impression
many persons think it is "a useless expen.
diture Of money to record deeds, the rec,
ords of which were destroyed by the
late fire. | hare, l think, very good
reason to believe that such an idea is er.
roneous, and, if carried out, will, in many
cases, have a very bad result, to say
nothing of the great Inconvenience to
the public from the want of the records
How can any man be assured that the
deeds in his possession will not be burn
ed or losty And, in such case, if he
should desire to sell, would not a pru-
dent buyer prefer to purchase ola man
who had clear deed to show Why,
sir, the difference, in proof of title would
be worth many times more than the cost
of recording. | could give many reasons
whya man should, by all means, have
his deeds recorded, each ono of which
has value far beyond the cost of the
record and but one reason can be given
for neglecting to record--the cost of re
eording. A man who is influenced, by
this reason, TO avoid recording his title, il
pennywise and pound-foolish. SO far
as ! am concerned, | shall have every
deed to me directed and every deed
which can find showing chain of title
as far back as | can find them recorded
do not doubt but that our county clerk
will make as liberal arrangements as
possible to save expense to those who
desire to record deeds. SEyEx.

WASHINGTON.
LOUISIANA FREE AGAIN.
Order from President Hayes Removing
the Troops.

NEW ORLEANS, April l9.-The Com
missioners talked freely to the agent OF
the Associated Press, this afternoon.
Believing that the end Of their labors is
near, they have been necessarily more or
less retieent than heretofore. Their eff
forts have been largely through individ-
ual conversation, and to have published
their appeals or suggestions in advance
of any evidence Of their acceptability,
would have defeated their object. They
strenuously endeavored to secure one
Legislature by general consent. A re-
union would be nominal and valueless,
nearly, unless accompanied by good
degree of reconciliation and harmoni-
ous Purpose They have constantly
urged upon each side the duty Of making
propositions tending to the removal of
difficulties through the work Of the citi-
zens of Louisiana. They believe that
the National Government has desired to
accept what Louisiana should present,
rather than to dictate what Louisiana
should do, and that no settlement entor-
ced upon the State by military power
could establish justice and peace. They
have striven, not so much for detailed
plans of any description, rs to soothe
passionate feelings, and create desire
for peace and union. They have not be-
iieved that treaties based upon an allot-
ment of offices could reach the desired
end. They found so great diversity of
opinion among the Republicans and
democrats that party lines were often
invisible. Neither party is unit. They
believe that no attainable result, whether
enforced from the outside, or brought
about by the gravitating forces within,
could be satisfactory to the whole Of ei-
ther party. They all speak with respect
of the personal bearing of both Pack
ard and Nichols. The letter of Mich
oils appears to please them greatly, and
they speak of him as an honorable sol
der, whose sincerity and high courage
cannot be doubted. Unquestionably he
will do his utmost to carry out the poll
cy to which he so frankly commits him
self, and he is sustained by the best moral
and intellectual elements Of his party.
A large number Of Republicans have,
from the beginning, accepted his Cover
norship as inevitable, and said it would
not only bring present peace, but make
a great step forward in the protection OF
the people and surely lead to a reorgan-
ization of the parties, under which all
sides would, as a matter, both Of policy
and duty. protect the personal and po-
litieal rights Of all voters.
The Commissioners are in good spir-
its over the present aspect of affairs.
Paekard's Legislature is rapidly dis
solving There are now 65 or 66 Return
ing Board members in the Nichols
House.
The Nichols House of Representa-
tives to-day rescinded the resolution ex-
pleliug Goude, who then took his seat
Geo. Drury, of Assumption; Oscar Holt
of West Baton Rouge, heretofore acting
with the Packard Legislature, were seat
ed in the House, to-day, making fifty.
nine Returning Board members.

~ From circular of United States
Marshal Upham, posted at the Post Of
fee, we learn that the May term of the
United States court, at Fort Smith, will
not be held. Witnesses and others will
not be required to attend until the first
Monday in August next. This has been
rendered necessary, we understand, by
the exhaustion of the appropriation fol
the present fiscal year. The appropri
alton for the next year, commencing Oh
the first Of July, has already been made
and the marshal will be in funds for the
August term.

guilty at all, was no more so than Web

The Van Buren press., 1877-04-24

~ From the tone of the Van Buren,
Press, it seems that it has but one object
in view, so far as we are concerned, and
that is to prejudice the minds of the citi-
zens of Van Buren against us. We haye
misindged the stamdna of that town If
they can be caught by such bull-dozing.
Too thin, Mr.. Press, we do not intend to
be bluffed of in that style from your
town,--Alma Herald.
The citizens Of Van Buren understand
the English language, and can read for
themselves. They have already taken
the measure OF the editor of the Herald
and have not very exalted idea of his
.stamana.
The Van Buren press., 1877-04-24

We are happy to learn that our
Episcopalian friends have consummated
arrangements with, Bishop Pierce by
which they are soon to have a resident
pastor. The Bishop held service, last
Thursday and Friday nights, on which
occasions, quite number of young peo.
pie were confirmed The church, now,
must number between forty and fifty
members. With regular clergymen il
may become the most influential and
prosperous church in Van Buren.
