DEFECTIVE Mai. SERyIcE-Some time
ago the people of the Manclac and Hope
Villa neighborloods petitioael the gov
eminent to establish mail route from
Hope Villa, on the Bayou 1lanchac, to
Lane Post office, on the Mississippi, via
Dutch Stores. The petition was granted
aud carrier employed, but by some
oversight the route was cuctailcd SO as
to extend only from Hope Villa to Dutch
Stores, an intermediate point between
the desired termini. In this shape the
main object Of the now route is defeated.
It was the desire of the petitioners to Sc
cure direct, regular and speedy postal
communication between Hope Villa and
the river, and on behalf of the many
people interested, We call upon Congress
men Acklen and Robertson to secure, if
possible, a correction of the error noted
and the extension Of the route to Lane
Post office.

JUDGE CHEEvERs ENJoINED.-In ac-
cordance with the prayer Of . petition
fled in the District Court this morning,
Judge Duffel has granted an order of in
junction, restraining aud prohibiting
John A. Cheevers from assuming or at
tempting to exercise the functions of
Judge Of the Twenty-Second Judicial
District, composed Of the parishes Of As
cension and St.sJames, to which pr sition
he was declared to have been elected in
December last. Concerning the grounds
upon Which this injunction was sought
and obtained we shall speak hereafter.
There will be no session of the new Dis
trict Court this month, nor until this
matter is decided, but under the provis-
ions of the constitution, Judge Duffel
will continue to exercise the powers of a
District Jndge-excepting with regard
to holding court-until legal successor
has qualified.

i SUPREME Court DEcIs1oN.-Out of the
six cases taken up to the Supreme Court
/ on appeal from this parish during the
| present term, only ono has set been de-
| ci,led. This is the case entitled Adele
| Pedesclanx, wife of r p. Landry, rs.
Margaret c. Legare, wherein plaintiff,
who is separate in property from her
husband, sought to subject the Souvenir
plantation to the operation of her judg-
ment for paraphenal property used by
the husband. The place was bought
from Mrs. Susannah Walker, April 3,
1869, by Nr. Landry, who paid about
one-fourth Of the purchase price in cash,
and gave notes for the balance, secured
by vendors lien. These notes were p1Ir-
chased by DIR. J. C. Legare who foreclosed
the mortgage in 1871 and bought the
place at Sheritf's sale. In 1876 he sold
to Mrs. N. c. Legare, defendant in the
present suit. Plaintiffs action. insti-
tuted in 1877, was based upon the fact
that the act of sale from Mrs. Walker to
Landry, which was passed in New Or
leans on the 3rd Of April, 1869, was not
recorded in Ascension until the 14th of
the same month. She contended that.
under the laws then existing, this delay
in the recordation of the vendors priv
ilege rendered it imperative as against
third parties and that, therefore, her
Judicial mortgage was superior in rank
to the vendors claim. In the District
Court the claim of plaintiff was rejected,
on the ground that she had "slept upon
her rights and made no attempt to OK
ecute her Judgment against her husband
either before or after his purchase of the
Souvenir place, up to the time of the in
stitntion of the present suit. The de-
cision was rendered by Hon. +. P. Poch6,
who presided as Judge ad hoe in place of
District Judge Duffel, Reused, and the
conclusion arrived at OIL this point pre-
cluded the necessity Of considering any
VI lIc OGHCl lIltUlS1U. Inc Sill
preme Court, however, while inferen-
TALLY approving the argument Of the
Judge a qua, bases its own decision upon
another feature of the controversy, to-
wit: the question of recordation. Judge
Spencer, acting as the organ of the Court,
declares that at the time the act of sale
was passed-April, 1869-there was no
law in existence fixing delay within
which registry must be made i'll order to
preserve the existence of the vendors
11cn. application for rehearipg was
made, and the Courts position was Wig
orously contested by plaintiffs counsel
in his brief, but the application was re-
fused and the Judgment of the District
Court in defendants favor was affirmed
and made final. Z. N. Pugh, ESQ.,, rep
resented plaintiff, and Judge r. N. Sims
was defendants attorney. A few days
after the definitive determination of this
snit, the Souvenir plantation was sold
by Mrs. Legare to Mr.. Leon Godclaux of
New Orleans.

Goth Of March, Mr.. Pu,dhomme Hy,lalgo,
resident Of Port Barrow, aged about IS
years, was drowned in Bayou Lafourche
in the vicinity Of the railroad bridge, by
falling overheard from an empty fatboat
which he w;ss taking down the bayou.
J-st how the accident occurred is not
known, as there was no one on the boat
with him at the time. It was thought
that he was drowned several miles below
town, and two weeks frnitless search for
the body was made. The six-pound gun
of the Cannoneers of Donaldson, of which
company deceased was a member, was
fired q number Of times over the water
i'll the supposed vicinity of the drowning,
without the desired effect. 1t was not
until an early hour this morning that
the remains of the unfortunate man were
recovered, about half a mile below the
bridge. The Coroner held an inquest
and the jury returned q verdict Of acct
dental drowning. The funeral took place
to-day and the C;,nn0neers Of Donaldson
escorted the remains Of their regretted
comrade to their last resting place in the
Catholic cemetery. Deceased was an in
dustrious, well-behayed citizen and was
well thought Of by all who knew him.
