dAumale and the Duo de Nemours visited the

despite the treatment accorded to him and his
family, he WAS so deeply interested. Countess
d'Eu, the heir apparent to the Brazilian throne
has not at present protested to the Brazilian
government against her exile from that coun-
try, but she maintains all her rights in connec-
ton with the crown. She says she 10 ready to

Judge Hunters Old-Iime Nerve.

Chillicothe o., Leader, Nov. %
Ed T. Hunter, ESQ.,, formerly one OF our we'll
known fellow-eitizens, but for the psst year or
more superior court judge out in the state OF
Washington, still carries his old-time nerve
with him that enabled him TO get away with a
grizzly. we are pleased to observe, and is fgur-
ing pretty extensively, just at the present time,
in the Washington newspapers. The Judge is
disposed 10 have his way about matters, and
when the lawyers the court officials don't
attend 10 business to suit him he stands
them upon end aud reads the riot act TO
them. Sometimes they rebel, aud when a
lawyer shows up who has gall enough
TO undertake thing OF that kind, be generally
has gall enough to try TO carry Ii through, and
then there is another case OF an irresistib!e
motive power sncountering an immovaele OBJ
iect Some OF the papers out in that section
have even had considerable to say about some of
the lawyers there having to mandamus the
judge TO compel him 10 hear certain ca'es,
which he had made up his mind not to hear. The
newspapers out in that locality are having great
sport IA dealing with Judge Hunters peculiar
notions, and the smart editorial writer and the
hired funny man are having picnic.

the arrangement has not yet been revealed. The
chancellor at o parliamentary dinner Thursday
last privately informed several members who

shows that majority OF the members are deter
mined to send treaties to committee, IL for no
other reason than to hear the chancellor give his
reasons for the commercial policy. which he
could not reveal In the open house. Although
the details OF the treaties have not been made

WASHINGTON CITY. Dec. 5.--Secretary Noble
today decided the long contested case of the

decides that the grant is not an absolute grant
to the parties originally named therein. but
was for the benefit only OF those to whom the
lands were allowed there under that grant
confirmed by congress to the town OF Las Vegas,
and that no question may be considered AS to
the capacity OF the town to take it under the
conhrmatory act; that only such land passed
under the grant as having been allotted was in
possession OF the occupants st the time the
United States acquired New Mexico. and that
survey shall be made of such tracts and natent
thereto issued to Las Vegas for the benefit OF
those who may be entitled to them Ali lands
that have not been passed in this manner at
the time OF the acquisition OF New Mexico

and settlement under the federal laws His
decision, ii is thought, will open to settlement
