Error to the Circuit Court of Yazoo
county Hou. S. s. Calhoon, Judge.
Defendants in error brought ejectment
against plaintiff in error for lot in Yazoo
City, which the latter bought vacant and
improved. 1t was agreed, upon trial, that
the rent of the lot, as improved, was equal
in value to the improvements. Defendant
below proposed to prove an outstanding
title in the other parties than the plaintiffs,
which was refused. He also objected to
being charged with the rental value of his
own improvements, but this was overruled.
Verdict and Judgment for the plaintiffs

writ of error.

to prove an outstanding title, with which

ant was entitled to the value of his inn

belong to the owner of the land, but the

he owns the land, makes permanent i'm.

LETTER FROM ASTORIA

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
On my return home, after an absence
Of nearly two months, picked up the
New NORTHWEST Of July 3lst, and al
most the first thing my eyes fell upon
were the comments Of the Oregon press
upon the outrage against Mrs. Duniway
In Jacksonville. Depend upon it, that
event will live in the future history OF
the State and nation as a monument of
the heroic struggle Of right against
might which women are making in
their righteous determination to be free.
In the Fall of 1886, Hon. Ben Wade
made the first anti-slavery speech ever
made in Ohio. II was in the town Of
Bainbridge, sixteen miles southeast Of
Cleveland, and in the Presbyterian
Church. After the speech the big bows
of the town, several of them being the
sons OF Erastus Jackson, threw nearly a
oushel Of eggs at Mr. Wade. Ttey
were openly urged on by the prominent
men Of the town, at the store Of John
Mayhem. Mr.. Wade stayed at the
house of my father, the Rev. Orrin
Henry, that night. The next morning
he and my father had quite a long talk
about negro slavery as it then existed i'm
the United States. In the course of
conversation Mr.. Wade turned partly
around to me, boy Of eight years, laid
his hand upon my white little head.
and with great emphasis said to my
father, "Sir, this little boy will live to
see slavery abolished throughout the
United States After that, the free
States of the South and the Abolition
lists of the North will join together in a
new party, the best the country will
ever have, and for the reason that thev
are the only people in the United States
that are politically honest"
II is now forty-three years since the
foregoing words of Mr.. Wade were ut
tered, the first part Of which has been
already fulfilled, and the rest likely soon
to be.
Thirteen years after Mr.. Wade made
that speech in Bainbridge, at the gen.
eral State election there, one hundred
votes were cast for abolition to one
against it. Since that time every
American citizen knows the history of
honest Ben Wade.
For our sacred CAUSES sake, I am
heartily glad that Mrs. Duniway was
mobbed in the streets of Jacksonville
You truly say that history repeats
ITSELF o. p. HENRY.

A VAIL FROM THE sUBJUgATBD.

Attention is called to the letter of a
lady friend Of human rights in Jackson.
vile, which appears in this issue of the
New NORTHWEST, and halls from the
''seat of war; This lady quietly gave
US much aid and comfort while in
Southern Oregon, but kept herself in
the background, partly to please her
family, and partly because she imagines
herself unprepared for public life. It
will be observed that she, as well as
hundreds Of others OF the protected
sex" were seriously disappointed be-
cause they we're frightened away from
our closing lecture. Her letter is es-
pecially commended to the considera-
ton Of the editors of Jacksonville, as
well as the other voters who witnessed
the disgraceful conduct OF the West
Shores model-conduct which we can
not describe in print because Of its low
obscenity. But surely our friend is
mistaken. Surely it cannot be that the
sons of women have fallen so low, even
in Jacksonville, that they will commit
perjury! We cannot believe il. Surely
there is some good to be found among
them. At any rate, we propose to test it.
Our correspondent asks for faith equal
to ours that a better day is coming.
Depend upon it, friend, the better day
is almost here. The darkest hour Of the
night is just before the morning. This
stirring-up was exactly what your peo-
pie needed. They will yet rally to the
support Of law, order, soberness and de-
cency. The subsidized press will soon
be supplanted by a higher order Of
journalism. Men who now hob-nob
with shameless, open-day blackguards
will quit it, or they will cease to pros
per. \ few years ago the entire Port
land press, with the one exception of
the Peoples Paper, was as dumb and
obstinate as yours is now concerning
this great question OF equal rights.
First it tried ridicule, and got check
mated by dignity, repartee and squibs.
Then 1t tried misrepresentation, aud
was checkmated by facts. After that
came vilification, then silence, and then
respect and truthiulness. To-day, among
the eighteen newspapers published regu-
larly here, there are but two opponents,
aud they are starving. These two are
the only papers in the State outside Of
that pander to the mob
ruling spirit, and the few readers they
had among the better classes are fast
forsaking their faltering destinies.

FIAT JUSTITIA.

A good portion Of our space is given
up TO correspondents this week, who
are certainly coming to the front right
royalty, although those resident in the
midst Of the late riot are still too rigidly
held under reign of lawlessness to be
justified in riskibg their lives by giving
their names to the public. Reading the
letter Of the gentleman from Sans
Valley leads US to say right here, that
if the Judge, in whose name the outrage
10 which "Lsw and Order' alludes was
committed, is at all worthy of the place
be occupies, he will yet repudiate the
action Of that mob. The man has not
yet lived who could sustain himself un-
der the pestilential influence Of the ken
mel of ours who are at present barking
for him. But we well comprehend the
final result. Like the French, who
were ready to shout ''Uice Ia NapoLeony'
when the conquerer was chief, yet when
fallen and conquered were the first to
forsake him, so will the mob repudiate
their own action after their chief has
fallen. If be can stand the dastardly
insult 10 deceDcy which has been COM
mitted in his name by his pretended
friends without openly rebuking and
condemning it, he deserves and will re-
ceive the contumely Of every gentle
man, and the scorn Of every lady in the
land
