EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Preprieter. WASHINGTON City: SATURDAY............0CTOBER 7, 1866. S7 READING MATTER ON ZVERY PAGE SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TALE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. THE BEGISTRY OF DEEDS. We are glad to see that the Board of Alder- men have passed a bill making an appropri- ation for the proper indexing of deeds at the Register’s office, and hope the lower board will promptly give their assent to the meas- | | | | | ure. The present condition of the indexes is | exceedingly discreditable to the cities of Wash- ington and Georgetown and the county. It | really seems as if they had been kept in their presen! imperfect mutilated condition for the sole benefit of the lawyers, throwing the whole work of searching for even the plainest title into their hands, for it is notorious that none but a legal expert and an experienced real es- tate lawyer at that, can pick his way through the present records. To all others they are a sealed book, a fact «pecially onerous to the poor man, who paying $100 for a lot, is obliged togive a quarter as much more, or #25, toa lawyer to ascertain if the title is good. ‘We paid a visit to the Register’s office lately, and while there, Mr. Hall, the new Register— who seems disposed to institute a radical reform in the working of the office generally, for the benefit of the public—called our atten. tion to the condition of these indexes, and we voon began to appreciate how it is that the work of prosecuting searches of title is one of such tedious circumloc — The present in- | dexes are generally copies of old indexes, which were very imperfect, as all examiners are well aware. Nearly all of the present indexes are in a worn and dilapidated condi- tion. Parts of letters, and even entire letters, are missiag, having been lost or never inserted, and all of them are more or less torn and ob- Mterated. There is no regular index referring to liber and folio, from about July, 1552, to March 1, 1563. In brief, the indexés are in such condition that if they are not replaced by anew set, the examination of titles, or to find a deed wi'l soon be almost impracticable; and as above shown, in order that the new ones should be entirely correct they must be made directly from the original records, throwing aside entirely the present indexes or the older ones upon which they were based as being alike detective and thus calculated to mislead. And in order that the examination of titles and searches for deeds may be turther facilitated it is desirable that the squares and Jots should be designated in the new indexes as is not the case in the present indexes. With a set of perfect indexes thus prepared directly from the liber, and with proper desig- Ration of square and lot, it would not be difi- cult for any man of ordinary intelligence to make his own searches in all ordinary cases of title. The co-operation of Georgetown and the Levy Court will of course be requisite, and it is not Goubted that they will accord it readily, so ap- parent is the necessity for the work. S7'Two temale school teachers have been arrested in Missouri for practising their calling without taking the prescribed oath, and a Catholic clergyman is in limbo for tying a matrimonial knot while similarly disqualified. #7 Major Pierce. formerly of the U.S. army, and late of the Military Board of the rebel State government of Texas, has been arrested, and 1s held as a prisoner, at Austin, on charges connected with the malfeasance of that board.

THE HIGH PBICE OF COAL The freedmen in Alexandria, not feeling in- clined to pay the exorbitant prices asked for coal by dealers in that place, have formed pro- tective associations, and procured several car- goes of coal from a distance, a portion of which they have disposed of to prominent white citi- zens of the town ata much lower figure than oo A RECESS GRANTED. oe WHY GENERALS LEE, JOHNSON AND OTHERS WILL NOT APPEAR. The trial was resumed this morning, and after the reading of proceedings of yesterday, which occupied the tame until near noon, the court was ordered to be cleared, and after de- liberating until 1:15 the doors were re-opened. Capt. C. M. Selph recalled for the defense.— Witness saperintended the distribution of goods sent to Richmond. The clothing, &c., sent by the Sanitary Commission and Govern- ment were entrusted to Federal officers for dis- tribution. On one occasion the boxes had been broken open and again boxed up. Boxes in transitu' were frequently broken open. | it could be purchased from the regular dealers. Once received a compiaint from one of General Lee's staff _ tbat boxes had KENTUCKY DELEGATION. bese broken ores array or derided The Kentncky delegation, headed by Garrett who had been vaccinated. Phere teas great | Davis, obtained an interview with the Presi- scarcity of genuine vaccine matter throughout the South. Mr. Baker here stated that he had no other witness fully ready to-day, and as he had but four or five witnesses who had been here for any length of time important to him, he would ask that the Court grant him some time to sift them He bad endeavored to sift the witnesses here, and had discharged some of them. If this was granted he would be able to close the examination of witnesses. If they (the coun- sel) had to stumble along as they had done this week, they could not get through with the case. He would ask until Thursday next. Colonel Chipman would leaye the matter entirely with the Court. The Court—The chief reason for granting a recess is whether it will hasten the termination of the case. Mr. Baker said if the recess was granted the defence would close in a week. The Court agreed to take a recess until Thursday. Col. Chipman said some of the subprnas for rebel functionaries had been issned inadver- tently, but he had reyoked them. The sub- peenas were for Gen. Lee, Mallory, Seddon, Surgeon General Moore and others. He had done this on his own responsibility, without consulting with others. He Proposed to give his reason now, that the counsel might take such measures as they saw fit. Col. Chipman read from various authorities, Johnson, Starkie, and others. that a party m the same indictment cannot be made witnesses for a co-defendant. There is not one of the wit- nesses of the kind who could on his roire dotr say otherwise than he had committed treason, and on the witness stand they would be obliged to convict themselves. He contended that such men should not be allowed to tesufy while they were not pardoned. Mr. Baker stated that he had no use for them now, as the trial had goneso far. He had Cobb summoned to testify that he never made any remarks as to killing the Union prisoners; Gen. Brown as to the true state of affairs of Georgia: by Gen. Lee that he had to leave his command and beg the people to send provisions to keep the army from starving: by Gen. Johnson chat hus army were in want. Mr. Baker said he understood Lee's subpoena Was stopped transitu; that those for Cobb and others were also stopped. Mr. Ould had been here for two weeks waiting on the Court but he had been discharged without his knowl- edge. He thought that the Judge Adyocate might have informed him at the time. An- other of his witnesses (Duncan) was here, and was arrested. When he (Mr. B.) came to ask for him, he was told that the man was a pri- soner, Mr. Baker argued that these parties were not convicted: that the Judge Advocate had brought these very prisoners here, and he now desired to add to the list called by the prosecution men of the same class. Mr. ker would ask that Duncan be placed so that the defense may make use of him as a witness. Col. Chipman said that he was alone respon - sible for his acts, and acting on whathe deemed wise discretion he had revoked these subpernas when he ascertained that they were asked for for other purposes than those indicated by the counsel. In regard to Duncan there was evi- dence against him. In regard to the others they were alJ in some way guilty. Either of these parties could be evidence against the prisoner but not for him . Mr. Baker asked how Col. Chandler cou!d be called to testify against the accused but another one of the same class could not. Colonel Chipman said that the law allowed dent this morning. and urged the removal of Gen. Palmer with much earnestness. The President, it is understood, has referred the whole matter to Gen. Thomas for investiga- tion, and declines to interfere until Gen. Taomas makes a report upon the same.

The U.S. Consul at Barcelona torwards the following dispatch to the State Department: U. S, ConsuLatTr, Barcetona, Sept. 16, Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary et State, Washington, D. C.—Sir: 1 have the honor to intorm you that the port of Barcelona has been officially declared infected, as the cases of cholera are daily increasing. The royal decree to this effect is dated the Sth instant, and was published here by order of the Governor on the 13th instant. The following is a list of the deaths in this city from noon of the sth instant, to midday of the 15th instant: oem TRANSFERRED FoR EvEr.—The body of Miss Eliza Mary P.

She died at the early age of nineteen; and yet not many a lady ab! since the days of the unfortunate Maude had made a wider impres- sion or excited more brilliant hopes. She died calmly, and on her dead face was stamped that expression of triumph and resignation which religion alone can fix upon the features in the hour of supreme agony. The sympathy ofalarge circle of friends is tendered to the bereaved parents, whom the prosperities of this world cannot comfort. Pied axyiy has left the shell—let it be their comfort it was taken to be an additional jewel in the diadem of the Monarch she served so faithfally. penis hreveer Cuneta A GANG ARRESTED.—About one o'clock yes- terday, the police of the First Ward arrested James Orr, John Gallagher, Adolph Croto, Michael Larkins, John Paxton, Columbus Wineckleman, and Michael Quinn for horse stealing.

Officer 589 No statement is published of the number of cases of cholera that do not result fatally, and the official list of deaths is believed by many to be inaccurate. 1 have no deaths of American citizens to report. Business of all kinds is entirely suspended, stores and offices closed, and one-half of the population of the city have left town. Many milies are happy to obtain a tent or hut in the country. All operations at the Exchange have ceased, and since the ist instant I have myself been unable to negotiate a small draft on London. The poor and those thrown out of employ- ment are abundantly provided for by the char- itable citizens ot Barcelona. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joun A.
