The Democratic Platform.

We can congratulate the Democracy
upon the Platform adopted at Gin
cinnati as well as upon the nom
nations. Each is nexceptionably
good. The committee on resolutions
were fortunate in expressing correct
ideas in the best words. Upon the fun
damental doctrines of the right of self
+ government and strict construction OF
delegated powers, and the supremacy Of
civil authority, there was no dissenting
voice
The currency question was the only
one that produced the slightest discus
sion in the committee
How to embody the Democratic idea
upon that subject, was a question Of
serious deliberation. 1t Is no violation
Of propriety to state that the language
Immediately following the words,
''Honest money" viz: {. Consisting Of gold
and Of SILVER and Of poper convertible into
coin, was inserted upon the motion Of
the delegate who represented Missis-
sippi in the Committee He thought ii
was the right doctrine, and that it re
fiected the will Of the Democracy Of his
State and the country. Four-ffths of
the States voted in favor Of it in Com
mittee, and the Convention endorsed it
by reclamation.
The platform as whole, Is model
Of sound principle and honest policy.
Hon. S. J. Tilden and the Democrat
&c Nominee.

cock, Senator Barnum, the Chairman of

ed to Speaker Randall:
''To the Hon. Samuel J Randall, Cincinnati ::
Il congratulate the Convention and the
Democratic party of the United States upon
the nomination Of Hancock and English. The

of the election of 1876, and will assert their

There is distinction with difference be-

Error to the Circuit Court of Clay County,
Hon J. NJ. Arnold, Judge.
This case involved the title to a valuable
plantation III Clay county Defendants in
error, heirs of Joel Evans, deceased, brought
eiectment TO recover the land of Mrs. Weaver
and obtained Judgment. William b. Weaver,
husband of plaintiff in error, as administra-
tor Of the estate of Evans had sold the land
under an order of court, a number of years
ago, his wife becoming the purchaser The
heirs claimed that the sale was irregular and
fraudulent. and therefore void.
Many interesting questions arc raised by
counsel, and decided by the Supreme Court,
but os they refer to the evidence in the case
and the instructions, full report would only
be interesting to the parties concerned, and
will. therefore, not be given
Two questions are of general interest:
First. A rule of the Circuit Court required
motions for security for costs to be made at
the return term. Defendants below made the
motion. but not at the return term. The Cir
cult Court overruled The motion. and defend
ant excepted. The Supreme Court held this
to error, deciding that the rule of court was in
contraventlon of the statute.
Secondly. \ wife may buy Al sale made by
the husband as administrator but where she
has no previous interest in the property sold
she must show uberiHa tides.
The presumption that she has paid the
money Arising out of the recital in the deed
make to her is of an extremely weak character
and may be overturned by any circumstance
throwing suspicion on the transaction.
Reversed, and new trial awarded.

Appeal from the Chancery Court of Tippab

In 1870 Harrall sold to Kitchens certain
lands. executing 4 bond for title and taking
the notes Of Kitchens for the purchase money.
The greater part of the notes were paid to IIar-
rail-. In 1871 Harrall transferred two Of the
notes to Seally. and in 1872 one Of them to
Pollard. Ia 1874 Harroll went into bankrupt
cy and was discharged.
In December, 1873 this bill was filed by the
assignees Of the note against Kitchens to en-
force payment Of the notes. Harrall Joined as
a complainant. He had previously rendered
a deed, and the same was rendered with the
bill
Kitchens answered claiming. first that by
virtue of HarraIl's bankruptcy the title to the
land vested in his assignee. and it was object
ed that the assignee in bankruptcy was not
made party. 1t was next claimed that, apart
from this, IIarrall had title to the lands, and
that by reason of his subsequent insolvency
he could not make good the covenants in his
bond for tide. The proof showed that Kitch-
ems himself at one time owned the lands and
sold them to Harrall, and that HarraIl and
those through whom he claimed had been in
the peaceable and adverse possession thereof
more than twenty years.
Decree was entered for complainant, and
defendant appealed.
