Appeal from the Circuit Court Of Kinds
County, Hon. 5. S Calhoon, Judge.
Appellant commenced an ordinary suit
against II. C. McPike and subsequently
sued out an ancillary attachment which
was levied OH lands and personal property
belonging to McPikc, but all Of which had
been previously granted by McPikc to +.
S. Gray as trustee for Harrison a. Lewis
to secure a large Indebtedness due them on
McPike, When the attachment was levied
the condition of the deed of trust was
broken by default in payment Of the debt
II secured, but after the interposition of
the claim Of the trustee and before the
trial of the claimants issue the debt Sc
cured by the deed OF trust had been fully
paid and there was in the hands Of the
trustee and claimant, at the time OF the
trial large sum Of money arising from the
sale of the trust property which was sur
rendered to him on his claim and bond
given, after satisfying the deed of trust,
besides about 5000 bushels Of corn, which
he had permitted to go into the possession
of the defendant in attachment and to be
consumed by him. The Court excluded
the evidence of this state Of facts and the
correctness of that action is the question
for decision.

I. At the time of the levy the property

right to subject TO his Judgment.
3. II is claimed that Butler o. Lee, "a
Miss. 470 contains q different doctrine.
That is mistaken view Of that case. The
session of the officer, who has seized per-
sonal property under process on judg-
ment whichis subordinate to a deed OF
trust, must, after the breach Of the condi.
ton Of the deed, yield to the paramount
claim Of the trustee. We re-affirm that doc
trine in this opinion, but totally different
question is here presented and decided.
4. As the claim OF the trustee was right
fully interposed, he Is entitled TO his costs
accrued before the time whom he ceased to
have the right TO withhold the property. |

granted.

it be supposed they take the oath before

fact in accordance with the provisions OF sec
tions 1855 and 1,758 Revised Statutes, with

The health of Mr.. Grover is such that he may
not be able to attend; Mr.. Slater is away

MR.. CONRLING AND THE CONTENTION


There is unfortunately no room to douht
that Mr.. Conkling intends to force himself upon
the approaching State Convention, and demand
vindication which shall say to all the world
that the Republicans of New York approve of
his course during the past year, and as a ne
cessary consequence dsapprove of the acts of
the Administration of President Garfield. This
Is the Inc Xorable logic Of the situation i'm plain
words. MIR. COnkling is so determined 20 he q
member or the Convention that he has made
all MS preparations to be counted in after his
own people have refused to elect him dele
gate. There seems to be no doubt whatever
that he was fairly defeated i'm the convention
OIL the district where he resides The body 10
small, hardly twenty members, and his oppo-
nents outnumbered his supporters by one vote
We have never seen this statement of facts
questioned. Yet Mr.. Conkling's followers
bolted without provOcation or excuse. and
elected him and three others as delegates to
the State Convention. Probably their names
will be placed upon the roll as those of tbe reo,n
Lar delegates from the LIST District of Oneid,
County. majority of the State Committee
still remains faithful to Mr.. Conkling. and the
roll can thus be made up in his favor. Sbould
his followers also control the Convention q
Committee on Contested Seats will be named
in his interest, and his title to the place which
majority of his constituents refused him xviu
be officially confirmed. The same pictnr. ;s
presented in the remaining two districts of
Oneida County. That this is a correct state
ment OF the facts is indicated by the decision
OF the Judiciary Convention at Syracuse. ves-
terday, upon contests in all three of these dis
tricts. The Garfield delegations from two of
them, including Mr. Conllling's own district.
were admitted, and the Conkling delegates ex
cluded. This increases the proof that Mr.
ConkIing's claim to have been elected a dele
gate to the State Convention is fraudulent.
III is Mr. Conklings right, of course, as a citi-
zen to take part in politics. 1t does not follow
that because he was rebuked by the Legislature
Tor resgning and refused reelection that he
must withdraw himself from political work.
But when he declines to abide by the decision
OF his constituents, which most men are in TIE
habit OF respecting, and appeals to q body
which has not been reconstructed in two wears.
ana therefore reflects none of the new tenden
cies OF the Republican party. to put him in the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-09-30
THE SCUOLIRLY PRESIDENT

In counting our losses, and the many reasons
why we mourn the death of President Garfield.
it is natural that we should first enumer;,tc
those which are of IA political character. But AS.
one by one, his personal qualities are recalled
with aifcctiOnate interest, those who love book
and still have belief in the necessity of an in
tellectual training for public affairs, will be
specially pleased by illusions to his scholarship
and literary tastes. Probably nc such lover of
books has occupied the Presidents chair sincn
the days Of >lphp Quincy Adams, who was a
man OF learning at once thorough and multi
iarious. So President Garfield, amidst all tbe
hustle of public life, and in spite of a hundred
demands upon his time and attention. alwovs
retained the old classical tastes which he had
brought from college and the industrious habits
which had carried him safely from obscuritv tn
distinction. There was n perfect propriety i'm
singing the Iate0er Uitae" in his honor and
he would have been pleased with such u tribute
could he have known of it, for it would have
brought back the old days when, in spite of
many difficulty, he was working his way TO
graduation. lie had that native fondness for
reading which one who does not care for il is
apt to regard with contempt. Undoubtedly n
perfectly Ignorant person may by the exercise
OF various ignoble arts, push his way into
Congress or, if fortune iavors him, into the
White House. He may be the idol of thousands
as uncultlyatcd us himself he may be clever

way or becoming q member of the State Con-
vention, 1t becomes apparent that his eagerness
to have place in it, in spite of the disapprO val
OF his constituents, arises from some other cause
than that of the proper willingness of the citizen
to perform political duties when called upon to
do so. There can be only one explanation of
this course, and no intelligent Republican
needs to be told what it is 1t is that Mr.. Conk-
ling is not satisfied with the Judgment of the
Legislature upon his course, judgment best
expressed in the single fact that at no time did
he receive more than one third of the Republic
Can vote for Senator. 1t means that Mr.. COnk-
ling is hopeful of his ability to control the Con-
venton through the old State Committee
| which is holding over like an Administration
which has been elected out of Office hut still has
power to make appointments up to midnight on
the Sd of March, and through the great
machine made delegations of the large cities !;
and confident that when he has once secured
control of the Convention that fact will be re-
garded as proof of approval of his course by
the Republicans of New-York. To accomplish
this end he does not scrupe to deprive his
neighbors of their true representation in the
State Convention, and to embroil his whole
county in a factiOnal warfare.
The Republicans of New York had right to
expect thdU inc Albany controversy should be
regarded as closed. The Legislature pro-
nounced an unmistakable decision upon it,
which was sustained by the well-nigh mani-
nous voice of the party throughout the State
The Republicans of Mr. Conkling's own dis
trict have now affirmed the decision by refusing
to make him their delegate TO the State Con-
vention. In spite of all this he persists in
thrlsting himself upon the Convention, and
will no doubt seek "vind:cation of his
course. We do not believe that the true Re-
publicans of New-Iork regard his course with
any more appreciation now than they did last
May. The returns from the district conven-
tons show that where Republican sentiment is
allowed expression, it is overwhelmingly
against him. If his conduct reviyes that con-
troversy in the State Convention it is well to
have it understood that Mr.. Conllling himself
is responsible If harmony is found mpos-
sble it will be because Mr.. Conl,ling has made
1t So What the technical result of the Con-
vention may be do not venture to predict,
but we do know that the masses of the Repub-
hcan party are not ready at this time to APP
prove Mr.. Conklmg's attitude toward the Ad-
ministration of President Garfield and his be-
trayal of the trust rcposed in him by the State
of New-YCrk.
