The Law Of Mortgages.

On Monday last the Supreme Court,
now in session at New Orleans, decided
a very important case from this parish,
being the suit of C. +. Miller VS.. r. II.
Shotwcll, ct ais, involving the title to
some three thousand acres Of land. The
Iimes-Democrat of the 10th instant
notices the decision editorially as fol-
lows:
The decision just rendered by the
Supreme Cont of Louisiana, through
Justice Poche, in the case OF Miller VS..
Shotweil is OF considerable Importance,
as laying down the law on the subject
Of mortgages. The court holds that g
mortgage made in another State of the
Union, according to the forms and
laws OF that state. will be enforced
upon property situated in Louisiana,
bat it must be according to louisiana
law and in the manner provided by
our code. Under such mortgages or
deeds of trust the title of the mort
gagor will net be diverted. The effect
OF this foreign mortgage, therefore,
upon Louisiana real estate is con
trolled by It's own law, while the char
acter Of the contract is regulated b.
the State where tbs deed is made.

Planting Walnut and Wild
Cherry Trees.

Prof. j. L. Budd tells us, in the. iowa
Register, how to start the seeds of
shy growers. It is safer to plant in
early spring. With the shuck on,
spread walnuts or butternuts on the
ground in thin layers in gathering time,
and cover with six OF eight inches OF
forest leaves. 1fwhere the leaves are
liable to blow eff, fasten them by spac-
ing rails Or sticks V e them. Plant
where wanted as soon as the ground
is fit to work in spring. Wash the
pulp from pits of black cherry when
gathered and dry on boards in the
shades for two or three days, with
frequent stirring. Then mix with four
times the bulk of sand and pack in a
shallow covered box Or boxes. Bury
the boxes just below the surface on dry
ground, and if the surface is covered
with snow before severe freezing Of the
soil, rake away the snow until the frost
has extended deep enough to freeze all
solid.

Thou stream, O how fair of Vermilion,
And still thou hast slept in oblivion,
Unknown to the poet, q stream.
Thou hast slept meath the dark dismal
shadows,
Sung TO none save Acadia's fair race:
Thou hast crcpt through their bright,
Il meadows,
Their homes and their harvest to grace.
Still, a glimpse of thy fair limpid waters,
That bubble and laugh on their way,
That running by, mock ct the shadows,
Until they are lost in the bay,
WsE9d surely enchant Natures muses..
And have them bear down on their wing,
Those. choicest nndfairest verses,
That poets all love and all sing.
As vet. such has not been thy fortune,
Thou lovely meek stream, O, how fair,
OF poets aud muses. the honors,
Use laurCls OF verses to bear.
But true is that day fast approaching,
The day of thy glory and fame.
When all shall be weaved INTO numbers,
In honor; i'll praise of thy name.
Until this, thy great day hath arisen,
The dawn of thy fame far and bright,
To wake from their humble sweet slum-
bers,
And bring thy true beauties to light. q
Mayst fhGu meekly continue thy winding,
SO 'nOceit, so dainty, so free,
till weavcd into strains sweet and worthy,
Thy name by the poet will be.

Railway ExtOriiOn.

----
For many years we have called atten.
ton to the excessive, oftime outrageous
and eve eantiscative freight charges
imposed by the railroad corporations II
this section When the Morgan roa(
passed into the hands of the Huntington
syndicate, we hoped for a reduction O.
these charges, but in vain; they remaiE
as firm and intlexible as the everlasting
hills. There is some consolation, and just
a faint ray of hope, to be found in the
fact that ave alone are not the only suf-
terers. That sterling journal, the New
Orleans Daily States, a few days since,
in the course of an editorial comment
ing upon a published interview with
Captain Thomas p. feathers, the vet
eran steamboatman, prove very conclu-
sively the serious damage done the
trade of that city by unjust discrimina-
tions and excessive freight rates. The
subjolned paragraph is so replete with
truth, and so fully voice our sentiments,
that we can not refrain from reproduc-
ing it:
The object Of this system Of discrimin
iantion is to monopoise the trans
pcrtation of all the regions the roads
can possibly reach and to then squeeze
out OF it sail the traffic will stand"
The rights Of invested CAPITAL, the
convenience of the public, the princi-
pies Of common justice, are utterly
ignored. 1t is perhaps the most selfish
feature everdeveloped amongstthe sell
fish features Of trade. The Reagan Bill,
wlch has now been so long before the
country, is beyond all question the bill
which the interests Of fair and
untrammelled commerce require. OF
course it Is the bill which meets tho
unqualified hostility Of the railroads,
because 1t is the bill which is ADEQUATE
10 protect the people against the
corporations It is designed to regulate.
M!lIthe merchants of New Orleans act
II this matter? 1t seems to us there
should be enthusiastic organization
amongst them with a view of influence
lilG the approaching session of CONGRESS
"a pass the Reagan bill. That bin will
10 worth millions to this city, and its
tributary country. 1t will be Of more
benefit to New Orleans than to anv
Ht1or city lii the Union.

The subject Of nisccgenation II
engaging the attention of the peo-
pie and the press in various portions
of the State. The movement against
this disgracuful evil was inaugurated
by the citizens of Bossier parish. who
some time last summer organized a
committee for the purose of suppressing
it. The newspaper is a daily, or a
weekly visitor that gees into the homes
Of the people, and is read by all elias
SEES, the boys and girls. as we'll as tbs
men and women of the land, and for
that reason, if for no other, its columns
should be kept pure and clean. There
are many social evils difficult to discuss
in an effective way through the press,
and none more so than this one, which
has to do with the uIfoly intercourse
between the two races. TO tear aside
the mask which hides from the eyes
Of the public the fearful evils of this
beastly practice might possibly induce
some OF those engaged in it to reform;
but it would certainly destroy much of
that innocence which is such a beauti-
full trait of human character, as we'll as
iilrrlsh 1ood 1or impure thoughts, and
possibly serve to stimulate unholy
desires. 10 express in prose the idea
which the poet has conveyed in
beautiful verse, vice is a horrible MONS
ter when first seen, but it's shape be-
comes less abhorent as our familiarity
with it increases. We are happy to
state that the practice does rot prevail
to any great extent among the people
of this vicinity. For the want of some
better plan the Review suggests to the
citizens of those localities where it does
exist that complete ostracism of the
miserable men who practice it, sup
piemented by an occasional application
of tar and feathers, will probably prove
an effoctual remedy.-Democratic

On TO Mexico.

The celebrated A. X. Cutting
having safely escaped from the Mex.
lean tolls is now busy organizing a
huge colonization party having as
its ultimate object tie. founding Of a
new republic south Of the Rio
Granle. The scheme which is "a.
Their bold and daring may not prove
visionary. 1t is contemplated that
the invading colony shall be conn-
posed Of about seven or eight thou
sand men well armed and divided
into companies o twenty five each.
They will not use force or arms I'M
less attacked and propose to act
peaceably if not molested, i'll which
event they will endeavor to look out
for themselves. When the -oppor-
tune moment arrives the colonists,
assisted by the dissatisfied natives,
will seek to wrest the States Of Chi
huahua, Durango and Sonora from
the control Of the Mexican govern
ment and establish a republic with
a more liberal policy than that now
prevailing. Freedom of religion,
speech and The press, the abolition Of
peonage, export duties and grants
to European are among the bene-
fits promised under the new order of
things. The leaders Of this enter
prise claim its Success as assured
and express themselves very freely
as to their plans and movements.
