"The first tenant entail In possession eaii i Upset-every thing by the simple pro cess of enrolling the. deed In chancery, or, barring entail, to use a detail more familiar to the lay mind, the law does not recognise the right of a testator to Impose conditions In perpetuity.

It was t proposed to Inclose this rroperty and transform It Into a combin ed Monte Carlo, with the vile Ross Island attachments. Ross Island, as is well known; was the breeding spot of every crime from murder down to the lowest species of lecherous Iniquity, and It was not proposed that Its seeds of vice should be planted Jn.the very heart of high minded respectability. t It was for this reason that the people of the Eighth Ward last night, with 'one voice, protested against this proposed in vasion of the sanctity of the, region of t.ielr habitations. The proposition was denounced in strdng language In many speeches by many Interested property owners ami heads of families.
