who Sued fort the Recovery OF Title
Deeds Stolen by leslie, the Carpet
bag . and Commissioner.
COLUMBIA. January lG.-Judge Goth
ran has just filed his decision in an
interesting case, which was heard at the
last summer Circuit Court in this city.
The suit was by James NJ. Iownry
against Hugh s. Thomson, Governor,
and others, rs Commissioners OF the
sinking fund, and was an action to re-
cover persona! property. McssrS. Pope
n Haskell represented the ploin:iii. and
Attornny-Gcmc:a Miles the defendants.
From the exhaustive decision Of judge
Cothran. the following facts arc SUM
married.. The cause was withdrawn
from the jury and submitted to the
Court for the decision of it's issues of
law and fact:
The plaintiff brought suit to recover
possession OF two deeds which purportcd
TO be convryaHccS Of certain lands in
York County. On the I'd February 1870.
when Charles y. Leslie was land com
missioner Of the State, he negotiated
with the plaintiff, Lowery, for the Dur
chase Of a tract Of $50 acres in York
County, for the sum of $4,OG4 cash. On
the I'd Of March, of the san.e year, he in
like manner negotiated wife Lowcry for
the purchase of IL second trac: in York
County comprising 1853 acres, for which
the price was to be $l3,535 cGsl:. Tho
several instruments Of sale were signed
and sealed by Lowry in the presence of
two witnesses, but were not delivered
TO Leslie by the plaintiff. or to any one
Tor h'm, but were retained by him in his
own possession. Shortly after Lowry
gave t't deeds TO Major w. i. Gulick.
then Il bank cashier of Columbia, to hold
until the purchase money had been paid
hy Leslie. For the ostcnSibla purpose
Of having the encouragement examine
the 4 G Is in order to ascertain the VALIDITY
Of the ,i'ie Leslie. Through an cmissarv.
induced Gu!!ck 10 give them up, prom
's'ng their return the next day. They
were not returned. When Gulick and
the plaintiff demanding them, Leslie
pretended to have mislaid them. and
meantime had them aurreptitiously re
corded i'll the registrars Office Of York
County. This fact was not discovered
until II long time afterwards. Leslie re-
tanned the deeds, and they passed from
his hands IS land commissioner into the
possession Of the sinking fund commits
son, the successors Of the land commits
sion and the present defendants.
Judge Coltran justly terms the trans
action n "very crooked one. A]countc1-
claim was set up by the defendants, but
the Judge holds that no claim Of this
hind should be considered u set off to
fraud. He observes: Even an equity
cannot be cngraftcd upon a fraud, and if
attempted it must perish upon it's stock"
AS the sinking fund commission has
succeeded in the land commission AZ the
heir OF this fraudulent transaction.
Judge Cothran DEGREES that the plaintiff
recover from the defendant the two
deeds of conveyance specified and that
they be delivered up by the defendant;
and in case this specific property cannot
be so delivered up, then the plaintiff
will recover Of the defendant the value
thereof-$15. l99-as his damages. This
is a neat little legacy left the State by
the official thieves Of Radical days.

Prof. Riley and the Locusts.

Prof Riley, the entomologist, will shortly
Issue bulletin which will contain a great deal
of information regarding the locusts, or cicade.
This year, he says, the seventeen year and
thirteen year locusts come together, being the
nrst time for many years. In his bulletin he
will describe how the locusts come from the
earth, and, leaving their skins fastened to the
trees, fly away; how they arc preyed upon by
many, things, finally dig into the tender
branches of the trees about July 20 and deposit
their eggs. lie shows that they are not poison.
Gus, do not sting, and that generally speaking
they are not so very disastrous to trees or crops
In certain localities they will probably exist in
numbers sufficient to be disastrous. Extensive
experiments in 1865 satisfied him that they
could not be kept off fruit trees. The principal
damage to trees Is done by the female In deposit
ing the eggs, They make incisions IN the tender
branches of the trees at such short distance
from each other that the trees sometimes
wither. They nre often disastrous in nurseries.
II is expected that these breeds will appear in
the same localities that they did thirteen and
seventeen years ago. Prof Riley expresses
himself surprised at the late publication which
quoted him as saying he was making IN article
OF diet of the lOcusts. And though there was
something in ii he did not expect To have It
written up in the manner in which II was pub
