The Borne Courier, of 8*turd*y, giree the
following porticulera of * fire th.t occurred in
that vU&geon Wodn-dwr night. It com
menced, ooys the Conner, in Urn room of Mr.
Sparks, just over the store of Mr. Howell. Be
fore it was discovered it was ^ flashing fler^ly
and soon communicated itself to the ^joining
store and residence of Mr. H. A. Smith. A
was intanse oonfusion at this juncture, and the
orowd seemed to concentrate their whole ef
forts in emptying the burning buildings of
their contents, as a report had been circulated
that both engines were out of order. Short! v,
howover, the Mountain City came handsomely
to time, poured two streams upon the fire, and
in half an hour had completely conquered the
dames. We have nover seen an engine do bet
ter uuder any circumstances than did the
Mountain City on that night. In fact, she did
just as well as the Rainbow would have done
if her pumps had been all right, ^hile com
parisons are odious, wo cannot avoid disttn-
Kuishing the actions of the Messrs, hoble,
the Wells Brothers, Messrs. T. Cuylcr, Tow
ers and Powers. They acted with the cool
ness and courage of veteran firemen. We re
gret to learn that our excellent oontemporary,
the Commercial, suffered some loss from fire-
There is enough of the Phccnix in her compo
sition, however, to bring her in triumph from
her ashes. This office also suffered—a bottle
of assafoetida was broken over the head of
one of oor printers, and—we fear not the
measelsin our office to-day. The buildings
generally, we believe, were insured, and the
goods suffered some $1,000 loss, breakage, r-nd
stealage.

to Judge Erakine, of our oity, "as one of the
ablest jurists of the South." The review is
by no meant overdrawn. It is simply a prop
er and well-timed tribute to a sound lawyer
and an able and jost Judge. Fulsome and
empty compliments are very dangerous things
when applied to men of standing, while
they are of no service whatever to men with
out an objeot in life. The article roferred
to successfully states solid facts in regard to

Mr. Editor: Atlanta if the largest oity in
Georgia, and promises to be, at no distant
day. the largest inland oity in the South. It is
particularly important that it should be, in iU
next municipal eleetioo, represented by some
of Its purest and most intelligent citizens. It
is an acknowledged truth that when bad men
are elected to positions of honor and responsi
bility, that it is regarded by good men abroad
that those who elected them are as bad, if not
worse. Jlonco it behoovea every voter in the
oity, who has any self-respect or internet to
i» rot set, to use thoir best efforts to elect suita-
le persons -men who are honest and capable
-men who are willing and able to sacrifice for
the general good of the oity—men who would
honor themselves at home and the city abroad
—men who would not make theoffloe a source
of reveune to themselves, but a benefit to all
alike—men who could not be controlled by no
party, bar-room, gambling or ohurch clique,
nut alone by truth and the beet interest ot its
citizens, white and oolored, rich and poor,
Jew nmi Gentiles. We have such men among
Who are they ? Let them be suggested,
and we will use all our influence to elect them.

Promlies and Performances— Gen. Grant
and the Democracy.
General Grant has not, from the outset,
left the country in doubt with regard to the
leading points of his polioy. When waited
upon by the Joint Committee of Congress, on
the 13th of February, to officially inform him
of his election, he annoanoed his determina
tion to falflU the just expectations of the peo
ple. " I can promise the Committee, ” he said,
“ that it will be my endeavor to coll around
me as assistants such men only as I think will
carry oat the principles which yoa have said
the country desires to see successful—econo
my, retrenchment, faithful collection of the
revenue and the payment of the public debt.
And with these objects in view, he declared
that he would unhesitatingly change his ap
pointees, if those first selected failed to co
operate with him efficiently in the prosecution
of his policy. There was no room for doubt
or ambiguity upon the subject Gen. Grant
bad resolved that, whatever might happen,
"economy, retrenchment, faithful collection
of the revenue and payment of the public
debt should be the cardinal principles of the
Administration. His pledge was voluntary
£nd emphatic
Ou the ocooaiou to wincC we refer another
promise was made, also voluntarily and with
equal emphasis. Mr. J. Y. L. Pruyn was
present as a member of the Joint Committee.
He was there as the representative of tbe Dem
ocratic element in Congress. And when Gen.
Grant indicated the distinctive points of the
policy he contemplated, Mr. Pruyn, promptly
and in apparent good faith, thus addressed
him:
" General : In the great principles which
yoa have marked oat for the conduct of your
Administration, you will have the political sup
port of those icith whom / am associatel, ready
to act with you."
Here, then, are two promises—one intended
to inform the country with reference to a mat
ter which excited anxious inquiry, and the
other apparently intended to assure the Presi
dent elect that those who had opposed him
were prepared to aid in the performance of his
task. lias Gen. Grant redeemed his promise?
Have Mr. Prnyn’s friends, for whom as a party
ha spoke, redeemed theirs ?
The answer in behalf of General Grant is
clear and conclusive. What he promised he
has performed. Economy and retrenchment
are manifest in every branch of the public
service. Within six months his Administra
tion has effected a saving in expenditure of
not less than $36,801,013; and the process
still goes on. This diminution of outlay has
not been effected at the oost of efficiency.—
On the contrary, as a result of increased effi
ciency, and that "faithful collection of the
revenae’’ wbioh General Grant promised, the
revenue for six months exhibits an odvanoe
mounting to $19,660,143. As to tho reduc
tion of the public debt, the record is quite as
satisfactory. A single half year has witness
ed the payment of $56,000,000 of the princi
pal, and an appreciation in the value of the
public securities which will greatly faoilitate
funding at a lower rate of interest. So much
for the President. He is vindicated by his
acts. The policy he foreshadowed has been
adhered to literally, and with excellent effect.
Meanwhile tho pledge tendered by Mr.
Frnyn has been regarded by tho party in
whose name he addressed tho President. He
promised that in the application of hia policy
General Grant should have the political sup
port bf the Democracy. Th# promiso has not
bcon fulfilled. Instead of sustaining the Ad
ministration in reducing and economizing ex
penditures, in faithfully collecting the rovenuo,
and In extinguishing the debt, the Democrats
have offered nothing bat faotioua oppposition.
Not content with slfowfngthe Administration
to perform tho work, they have persistently
striven to impede its progress. They credit it
neither with cutting down expenses nor with
increasing the productiveness of taxation; they
neither concede what has been accomplished
in the matter ol retrenchment nor accord it
justice for the reforms It has introduced into
tho pubUo service.
The magnanimous spirit proclaimed by Mr.
Pruyn Is proved to be a sham ; and n reckless
partisanship, as Indifferent to truth and fair
ness as to the pubMo weal, is found to bo tbe
only spin! of which the party is sapable in its
action toward the President and his advisers.
The difference between General Grant and
the Democratic party, in relation to retrench
ment, flu efficient revenue service, and the re
daction of the debt, is plain and characteris
tic. He has kept his word ; they bsv# viola
ted theirs. He has steadily and fluooessfnlly
carried forward a policy which wiH bring relief
to the country; they have as steadily obstruct
ed reform and misrepresented its result The

the Supreme Court of Georgia; with an Ap-
peudix contaiging oasea decided by the
Honorable John Erskine in the Circuit and
Distriot Courts oi the United States tor
Georgia. Vol. XXXV. By Logan E. Bleck
ley, Reporter. Atlanta, Go., 1869.
We, of the Bar, have no more agreeable evi
dences of the actual progress of the South
than the reappearance upon the green cloth
of our office tables of tbe reports of adjudica
ted coses in the oourts of the Southern Htatos.
For several years, the different aeries of law
reports in those States was wholly broken off;
but one by one they are reappearing on the
stage ot publication, and re-establishing them
selves us of old. And although we suffer,
perhaps, in the main, of late years, more by
an excess of law reports, than by a dearth of
them, we are happy to welootne volumes so
valuable as this one of Mr. Bleokley.
His present book givoc us seventy-one cases
of decisions in the Supreme Court in the State;
bot in addition to these we have a number of
cases decided in the Federal Courts by Mr.
Justice Erskine, well known to the Bar as one
of the ablest jurists of the South. Jt is by
these decisions of the learned justioe, which
to the reader outside of the State limits form
probably the most iuteresting portion of the
volume, that our attention has been more es
pecially arrested. They are characterized by
unusual clearness of conception and of argu
ment, and by an exact apprehension of tbe
foroe and value of precedents. It is quite a
carious incident that some of the same great
constitutional questions which have come be-
lore the Supreme Court of tho United States of
late, came before the Cirouit or District
Courts of Georgia at about the same time or
shortly before; and that the decisions upon
them have been identical with those in the
highest courts of the land; anticipating them
in fact by a short interval. In He parte Wil
liam Law, (at page 286 of the voluino we are
reviewing,) tho same question arose before
and was adjudged by Mr. Justice Erskine, that
aroso and was adjudged by the Supreme Court
in Ex parte Garland (4 Wallace, 222). The su
perior authority of tho decision in the higher
court throws of course into some shade the
mere decision in the lower one; but the opin
ion of the District Judge, as givenTn the lat
ter court, and as preserved in this volume, de
serves, by its force and learning, to rank even
by tho first men of the bar, iu tbe Supreme
Court. We cannot soy more of it.—Philadel

Tbe Poitofllcc Department Franking
Abate.
Postmaster General Creswell has been hard
at work cutting down expenses and inaugura
ting reforms in his department, and his forth
coming report will presenta gratifying exhibit.
Ou Juno 30, 1869, the end of the fiscal year,
there were 5,094 contractors for carrying the
mails, and there were 6,487 mail routes in
operation. The aggregate length of the routes
is 22,373 miles, and the aggregate annual trans
portation 90,723,403 miles. Tho aggregate
annual cost of transporting the mails during
the time stated was $10,406,501, bat includ
ing compensation of railway and postoffice
clerks, route agents, local agents, mail mes
sengers, Ac., which was $1,275,227, the aggre
gate annual cost was $11,681,728. During the
year, 6,803 miles were added to the mail ser
vice. There was an increase of transporta
tion from 1868 to 1870 of 6,499,078 miles,
which oost $140,455, to which should be add
ed the increased cost for railway, postal clerks
and other agents, $160,594, making an aggre-
gate cost of $299,949. These figures do not
include services of special officers; this servioe
is solf-snstaining.
Mr. Creswell believes that tho department
can and should be made self-sustaining ; and
to this end he will urge the abolition of the
letter-box delivery system, the reduction of
the rate charged on registered letters, and re
form in the matter of advertising so os to pre
vent improper construction oi the laws iu favor
of newspappers. He will likewise urge on
abolition of the franking privilege, and if that
cannot be effectod then a large abatement of
its privileges.
Peoplo irrespective of party will cordially
support tbe Postmaster Goneral in doing away
with this abuse, for that the frruking privi
lege is not only an abuse but & shame has long
been apparent. For years tbe mails bare been
loaded down with political documents, agri
cultural reports, and other refuse matter.—
Newspaper correspondents, friends, relatives,
and others have employed tbe franks of con
gressional members to carry on both their
public and private correspondence, while ao
less than threo members of Congiess them
selves have been detected within two years in
extensively employing these franks to further
their individual business. One residing in
this city was recently shown to have franked
circulars of his establishment all over the
couutry, and then to have forwarded due bills
in tho same manner.
One has but to stand in the Washington
Postcfflce for a few moments during tho pro
gress of a Congressional session or a political
campaign, to form an idea of the outrageous
uses to whioh tho franking privilege are pat,
and the impositions practiced upon the tax
payers of tho country. Wo would have every
member of tbe Cabinet, every Senator, every
Congressman, every Postmaster, and every
Govcrumont official, no matter what his posi
tion, oompellcd to pay bis own postage, except
on offioial matters. Let the linos be drawn
closely, inclnding all publio officials, high and
low. and the franking demoralization and
abuse now prevailing will disappear. The ex
penses of tue Poetoffice will be greatly de
creased, and the revenues increased in almost
a proportionate ratio. If General Creswell
will but inaugurate this reform, he will win the
warmest admiration and gratitude of his coun
trymen. Let him but forcibly and vigorously
press the matter upou Congress, and if mem
bers endeavor to stave off or dodge the quea-
tiou, nn overwhelming publio sentiment will
compel them to toe tne mark. —A’. V. Com

Washington, November 1.—A fuller state
ment of the cate of Thoriugton vs. Smyth
and Hartley—A bill in equity lor enforcement
of vendor's lien. Bmyth and Hartley pur
chased Thorington’s land and gave a promis
sory note for part pay. Tho transaction oc
curred in 1864. Without modifying ciroum
stances Thorington would be entitled to a de
cree for the amount and interest The defense
pleaded that only Confederate notes were cur
rent
The land was worth only three thousand
dollars in real money. The contract price
waa forty-five thousand dollars, thirty-five
thousand dollars whereof was actually paid in
Confederate notes and the note for the
maining ten thousand was to be discharged
in the same manner, and it is claimed on this
that the vendor is entitled to no relief in the
United States Court, which olaim was sus
tained by tbe Court below and the case dis
missed.
The questions before the Supreme Court
upon appeal are, first—Can a contract for the
payment of Confederate notes, made during
the late rebellion, between parties residing
within the so-called Confederate States, be en
forced at all in the Courts of the Uuited States?
Second—Can evidence be received to prove
that a promise expressed to be for the pay
ment of any other than lawful dollars of the
United States? Third—Does the evidence in
the record establish the fact that the note for
ten thousand dollars was to bo paid, by agree
ment of the parties, in Confederate notes?
The first question was answered affirma
tively. The second question was answered
affirmatively with the following remarks : We
are clearly of opinion that such evidence must
be received in respect to each contract in or
der that justice may be done between the
parties, and that the party entitled to bo paid
in these Confederate dollars can only receive
their actual value at tbe time and place of tbe
contract in lawful money of the Uuited States.
On the third question the Court says :
We do not think it necessary to go into a
detailed examination of tho evidence in the
record. It is enough to say that it has left no
doubt on our minds that the note for ten thou
sand dollars to enforce payment of which suit
was brought in the Circuit Court, was to be
paid by agreement of the parties in Confede
rate notes.
The Sapreme Court decides that tbe issues
of the Tennessee State Bauk previous to the
war are good tenders for Tennessee State
taxes. A mandamus was issued compelling
coanty officers to receive those notes for State
licenses.
In the case of Sam’l B. Paul versus Virginia,
indicted for issuing insurance policies with
out State license, the Supremo Court affirmed
tho deoision of the lower Court, holding that
corporations are not oitizens in the meaning
of the constitution, and that issuing insur
ance poUniae is uo port of commerce. *
