The improvement and prosperity
coming once again to our sister State of
Mississlppi under Democratic rule, is
best shown in certain tax redemptions
that occurred in Adams county, in that
State, during the past few weeks-inci
dents that never occurred under Radi
calism. During last week alone, nine
valuable plantations in Adams county,
sold to the State for taxes under the Rad
icals in the years 1874 and 1876, were re
deemed by their original owners by.the
payment of the taxes, damage and all
the costs incurred in their sale. There
tan be no surer proof of the return of
prosperity than this; we hope and be
itere that this will spread to Louisiana,
had that the thousands of acres of prop
erty sold here for taxes may be redeem
.ed and return once more to their
rrlginal owners.
NV NOTES.
-Two clergymen in Putnam, Conn., are to

--Sixty Indian convicts are in the old fort in
St. Augustine, Fla., and the guard is daily me

be fed.
-.Two Baltimore men bet $1000 on the result
at the presidential election, and being unable to
amicably agree which had won, the case was
taken into a court. Then the District Attorney,
nader a law, took possession of the stakes and
ismed the money over.to the city treasury.
-The standard of old aldermanic propriety
appears to be rather nicer in Canada than it is in

The Way He speaks and Acts in Wash- ear
ington.
[H. V. Redfield, in Cincinnati Comm, rial.] suc
Our old friend Pinchback is on hand, wh
snuffing the battle and trying to get the car
hang of the situation from a Washing- tic(
ton standpoint, being utterly bewildered Tb
by conflicting accounts while in New sol
Orleans. He tells me he had not been age
here twenty-four hours before he saw ord
that the hope of the carpet-baggers was cot
gone. The days of the Kellogg dynas- be
ties in the South are past. Pinchback ord
is very positive that Hayes will recog- pla
nize neither Packard nor Chamberlain. def
He says that it President Hayes takes cot
no part whatever, but allows matters
to shape their own course the Packard son
concern can not last long. It has an
not the support of the class who tric
own the property and contribute the Juc
taxes. And further, that if by any N
misfortune Hayes should attempt to Ga
setup the Packard lovernment, apI
oth Federal power, the tugalt psi
tinure4 tour yew more .asJlj mareb l
diabolical cruelties were committed in
parihebes where troops were stationed.
But if Nicholls is recognized, Mr. Pinch
back thinks Louisiana will immediately
become quiet and peaceable, the wheels
of government move regularly, the law
be both respected and enforced, the
bitter antagonism between the races
removed, and the material interests of
the State largely benefited. Whatever
may come, Mr. Pilchback don't want
a continuance of the present state
of affairs and the mockery of law
which has been conspicuous there
so long. He says his race cannot stand
it and he hopes the new policy of Pres
ident Hayes will not be opposed by
those who care anything for the negro,
whether they do for the white man or
not. The intetests of the two races are
identical, and Pinchback thinks that
the recognition of Nicholls would re
store peace and good feeling immediate
ly, and we may be no longer shocked by
the tales of blood and horror that have
come up from there since the attempt
has been made to sustain so-called Re
publican government by Federal author:
ty. All parties there want peace and a
restoration of law and the enforcement
of law, but it is not Mr. Pinchbaok's
opinion that they can find it with Pack
ard as Governor.
I forgot to ask Pinchback whether he
is still a claimant for the seat in the
Senate to which he was elected some
years ago, but I suppose he is. If they
fool with Pinch much longer, the six
years' term will expire before he gets
in. He was rejected because of the
cloud of illegality over the Legislature
which elected him. But that same
Legislature established the Returning
Board which has been sustained here,
and linch will, no doubt, take advan
tage of this new point in the game.

Judgment affirmed.
No. 6550-J. U. Payne vs. John Fur

judgment rendered by a court other

Where an act of sale has been duly
deposited and filed for record in the of

official neglect to transcribe the same
upon his books, a creditor of the ven

against the latter subsequently to such
deposit cannot disturb the purchaser's
possession.-Judgment affirmed.
BY JUSTICE SPENCER.
No. 6204-Mrs. Mary Hardy, appel
lant, vs. John A. Stevenson. On re
hearing. Judgment reduced to $1500.
No. 6571-August Bohn applying for
a monition, appellant, J. S. Bossier,
opponent. Appeal from the District
Court, parish of St. T'ammany.
The act of 1869, providing for carrying
into effect article 132 of the constitution,
relative to the sale of lands, is not un
constitutional, because it excepts from
its operation sales made under contracts
entered into prior the adoption of the
constitution of 1868.-Opposition dis
missed and case remanded for publica
tion of monition.
No. 6529-Edward J. Gay & Co. vs.
Crichlon & Donelson et al., appelants.
Appeal from the District Court, parish
of Lafourt he.-Judgment affirmed.
No. 6551-Board of Liquidators of
Hart & Hebert, appellants, vs. Pike,
Brother & Co. Appeal from the Dis
trict Court, parish of East Baton
Rouge.
Defendants took out executory pro
cess against certain property in the
city of Baton Rouge, mortgaged by
Hart & Hebert, a few days after the lat
ter had made an assignment of their
effects to their creditors.
The plaintiffs, representing the cred
Itors, took out an injunction against the
process, and allege many grounds there
for. It is only necessary to notice one
of them. They allege, and such is the
admitted fact, that the writ of seizure
and sale was issued without the clerk's
having previously issued, the notice of
judgment prescribed by articles 735 and
736 of the Code of Practice. That no
such notice was ever issued by the clerk,
and none ever served on the defendants
in the process. It seems that on the
,day the writ came into the sheriff's
hands he gave a written notice to de
fendants that unless the amount be paid
in three days he would seize and sell the
mortgaged property.
This notice by the sheriff was not the
notice required by law. It clearly re
sults from the provisions of the Code of
Practice, articles 735 and 736, that the
preliminary notice therein provided for
must be issued by the clerk. The writ
cannot legally issue until that notice
has been given, and the sheriff, there
fore, cannot have the power to give
such notice, because he derives his
whole knowledge from the writ, which
cannot legally reach him until this no
tice is given and the delays expired.
The judgment of the court a qua dis
solving the injunction with $350 dam
ages is erroneous. It is therefore
ordered, adjudged and decreed by the
court that the judgment appealed from
be annulled and avoided, and it is now
ordered that the injunction sued out by
plaintiffs be sustained and perpetuated,
defendants herein paying costs of both
courts.
No. 6536-F. S. Goode vs. John Nel
son et al.; Ed. J. Gay & Co., opponents
and appellants. Appeal from the Dis
trict Court, parish of Lafourche.
Judgment reversed and case remanded.
No. 6577-Wm. Sharp vs. Auguste
-assie; Wmin. Gassie, administrator,
appellant. Appeal fr9m District Court,
parish of West Baton Rouge.- Judg
menat reversed.
