The McDOnOgh Request.


1t is to be hoped that there is to be no re-
vival of litigation on account OF any part OF
the McDonogh estate, which was devised Tor
educational purposes to the cities OF Balh-
more and New Orleans, respectively, by, Mr.
McDonogh in 1850 The great McDonogh es-
ward vicissitudes in the process of partition
and liquidation. The landed property In the
inventory made in 185O-51, Immediately after
the death of Mr.. McDonogh, was valued at
erty and debts believed to be good amounted
to $142,s25 36-naking the total value OF his
estate at that time S2,229,700 "a. But in 1857,
when q reassessment Of the real estate was
had for, the purpose OF dividing it IN
to equal portions between the cities
of New Orleans and Baltimore, its gross value
was returned by the experts at only 81 49,.
&c., being reduction from the assessment OF
1S5O-51 of 1921 1874 3d. OF this real estate those
parts susceptible of division were valued in
the aggregate at 81 ,408,s $50. The share OF Bal
timore was therefore 704440, in addition to
which there was property TO the value Oh $780,
800 that had to be sold jointly. This made
the total share Of Baltimore under the last
appraisement s732,84 exclusive of 81 ,412 68,
as her half of the personal property. But
the gross sales of the share of the McDonogh
property assigned to Baltimore, as re,
porte, BY the trustees IN 1862 amounted ea 81
the personal estate, made the entire sum
supposed to be due to Baltimore over one
million of dollars. Nevertheless, by litiga-
tion fees to counsel, commissions and
requests, the entire amount realized by the
city of Baltimore up to January, 1869, was
but 1922, TAO SO, with the prospect-a remote
one, it is to be feared-of recovering from
property sold and not paid for, and from other
| property unsold, 100000 more. But not In
all the suits brought against the property
| there was a dozen or more-tO which the city
of Baltimore was party do we find the name
of Mrs. Gaines, present claimant of the Blanc
tract of property, which, in the division OF the
| McDonogh estate, was passed over to Balti-
more in 1857 was sold in 1859, and for which
she puts in claim for over 100000, though
willing to compromise on one-haf of that
| sum.
Assuming that Mrs. Gaines has valid
claim to the property in question, the ulti-
mate liability would seem to rest, not on the
city of Baltimore, but back upon Others in
Guiding the city of New Orleans, from whom
Mr.. McDonogh, it is said, bought the Blanc
tract, which had belonged to Daniel Clark, the
father of Mrs. Gaines, but is declared to have
been conveyed in fraud after his death. That
claim has been placed in the hands OF Mr.. Find
lay, the city solicitor, for examination, and we
take it for granted he will endeayor to the best
of his ability to protect the interests of the
city. Probably, however, Mrs. Gaines coun-
sci considers the city Of Baltimore at this
time the more substantial party to call on for
indemnity.

first witness called. Witness stated that he
was resident of the parish OF 1berville, u, but

tion notice published in the Iberville Repnb-
Rcaa Of October %, 1876, he said that the place,

not held at this place. but about mile and a
half below, on Austins plantation, and that
no election at all was held on November 7,
1876, at the place referred to in the election

On cross-examination by Judge Cullom he
said that the commissioners came to the store
on the morning of November 7, 1876, and that

| refused to accept this, unless he also vacated
a small room adjoining the store in the rear,
which he occupied as a sleeping room; where
upon he offered to give them table on the
gallery, so that he could have access to his
sleeping room. This they also refused, but
| without giving any reason for the refusal, and
opened no poll at that place. but went to Aus
tins, where they opened the poll. That Aus

venient.

ton lasting until 10 D. m, when the commit

Ioekex Clun Meeting.

We are informed that q meeting Of the
members Of the Elke Jockey C2sS xill
be held in the course OF n few DAYS to
arrange far a series ID Spring races.
It has already been determined to
offer purses for the following races:
Mile and repeat; half-mile and repeat.
and s;r-krndred yards. The track - in
splendid condition. and nothiag could
be more favorable to the full enjoyment
of the sports attending contests on the
turf, than the cosl pleasant weather and
entire absence OF dust. OF the present
season. 1t is proposed to make such
races as will admit horses from any or
all parts Of the State. and to make terms
that will induce racing men to bring
their horses here and enter the contest.
A more advantageous location for n
first class racing ground upon which
sporting meu Of Eastern Nevada. and
those of Utah, could conveniently meet
to test the relative speed Of their ani-
mails, cannot be found, and an effort TO
attract attention to the fact, is about to
be made. We shall refer to this sub
iect, in detail. in the course of q few
days. after fGrtaer action shall have
been taken by the club.
