In the case of Guthrie k Co. vs. Holmes Sells de
fendant in fl. fa. and Donald McPher, complainant,
Judge Hopkins was disqualified and Col. Ed. Broyles
was selected to try the case.
In this case Sells hsd mortgaged a house and lot,
valued at $1,750, to the plaintiff s. Subsequently he
had the property set apart as a homestead and after
being set apart it was levied on under this mortgage
A. fa. After the levy Sella and his wife sold the prop
erty to Donald McPher who claimed it. The issue
thus between the plaintiff in fl. fa. and the claimant as
to whether the property was subject to the mortgage
fl. fa. At the trial yesterday morning the claimant or
fered an equitable defense setting up that since he
bought the property he bad placed permanent im
provement* of the value of $4,000 upou it and asking
that in the event the jury found the property subject
the value of the improvements should be exempted
from the decree of the Court. This defense was de
murred to by plaintiff ’a counsel on the ground that
approvements put upon land pass with the land”
and the demurer was sustained. Claimants counsel
offered the proceedings of the Ordinary setting the
property apart as a homestead in evidence—it was
ruled out. The jury found the property subject to
the fl. fa. This was a very important case. Gartrell
k Jackson for plaintiff’s in fi. fa.. Collier, Myuatt aud

This Court is doing a good work iu cleaning up the
dockets of former years. It is to be hoped that all the
old cases may be disposed of before the end of the
present term, and this fall nothing but new business
be on hand to engage the attention of the Court and
juries.
A horse broke the singletree of a wage* yesterday
while making a " heavy pull ” on one of our bad
streets. He immediately jumped a few feet forward,
which caused his harness to brook also. This made
him mad. and ho commenced fighting the wagon with
his heels. The wagon stood this for at least five mln-
utos, when It ran one of its shafts throngh tho thick
part of his thigh. Tho horse “fit,” and the wagon
•• lit,” and the African driver stood by ss judge of the
fracas. Finally the wagon whipped, and the horse
was declared badly braised. This reporter was sent
for, and arriving at the scene of action took a minute
survey of the bloody and Loof-t.cddsn grounds
and on being asked what he thought of it, be told the
crowd that had collected that he would write up a bet
ter report of the case than any reporter in tbe United
States; and he thought that, with the assistance of a
good blacksmith and a wood workman of experience,
the wagon could get repaired.

Newnan, Ga., May 8tli.
I scarcely know whether it was tine to this
delightful, bouyant spring season, that makes
a man’s blood jump through bis veins with
such delieions swiftness, or not, but certainly
I have never struck a place that so charmed
me in its fresh and vigorous strength as the
little city of Newuan. All over its limits a
spruceness, a jauntiness and a springy activi
ty is in fine contrast to most of the dull and
plodding towns of old Georgia. Many houses
are being bnilt, trade is brisk, the people are
hopeful and prosperous, and I shall put down
high on my list ot “coming” towns, this live

WHITESBUEO.
I took a flying trip to Whitesburg, the ter-
minns of the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama Railroad. As company, we had
Captain Drake, affable and agreeable conduc
tor, (Jack White’s right bower) and Doc.
Smith, one of the “go-aheads” ot this section,
whom everybody knows and likes. Tho road
reaching|White8burg and aspiring to Newnan,
is a splendidly bnilt and equipped route, and
has one of the finest and highest bridges
stretching over the Chattahoochee that was
ever built, being about 80 feet high.

Tbe Shamrock and Magnolia Base Ball Clubs played

The Osceola plays this evening at Moore’s University.
Hamilton Yancey, Esq.
It is with great pleasure that we notioe the rising
career of this young lawyer. Although under twen
ty-five years of age and only two years in the practice,
he enjoys a leading position in the Rome bar—one of
the strongest in the State—and has been twice the
City Attorney of that prosperous young city He came
to this session of the Snpreme Court with three cases,
two of which he gained unaided, and the third of
which is not yet decided. In his speech upon this lat
ter case, supported by an able brief, he won the warm
encomiums of his fellow lawyers and the earnest <
pliments of at least two of the Judges. Possessed of
a fine mind, dauntless industry, good habits and fine
address, there are few, if any, of the brilliant coterie
of youDg graduates who have received their University
Diplomas since the war, who will outstrip him in tbe
race of life and fame.
The Naughty Moreau.
Elder T. M. Harris, of the Christian Church, left
Atlanta last night for Sandersville where, this morning
will commence, under his supervision, the trial of
Will. C. Moreau, for the offenses charged against him by
the Indianapolis Sentinel and other papers in Indiana*
It is highly probable that Moreau will come out inno
cent, as we hear of no prosecutor who will appear
against him. The trial creates great interest in and
around Saudersville.

'Jlty Court.
HON. R. J. COWART. JUDGE, PRESIDING.
Jack Rogers, a colored boy apparently about twelv
years of age, was convicted of larceny from the
house. Hu was caught with his hand in the till of
Messrs. Bryson k Smith. The jury recommended
him to mercy. This recommendation was doubtless
due to the earnest aud eloquent effort of B. H. Hill,
Jr., In his behalf. Ho was sentenced to pay a fine of
$25 and costa or eight months on the public works
Shadrack Green, colored, plead guilty te a charge of
adultery and fornication, and was sentenced to pay
flue ot $5u and costs, or work six months.
James M. Hoge, prisoner’s counsel.
Tandy Walker, colored, plead not guilty to the same
charge. Shadrack was the only witness against him
and ha was Impeached by two witnesses and not
tained by anybody. Tandy was ably defendeg by
Thraaher A Thrasher, but was convicted and sen
tenced to pay a fine of $100 and costs or twelve
months on the public works.
Josephine Peavey, white, plead guilty to the same
charge, but haa not yet been sentenced. Colonel W.
H. Halsey made au earnest appeal for mercy ii
case, especially on account of her innocrut babe.
Monroe Elam was tried by the Court and couvicted
of larceny from the boose. He was defended by
Thomas Findley, Esq , fouud guilty aud sentenced to
pay a fine of fifiy dollars and costs or work ten
months.
F. Com was on trial at tbe hour of adjournment.
The charge against him is trespass. This is a contin
uation of the everlasting discord between J. J. McNal
ly and himself. Wo hope It may at last find an end.
Colonel W. H. Halsey for the defendant. Thraaher A
Thrasher k Solicitor General Van Epps for the prose-
cation.

RECORDER D. F. HAMMOND.
Tbe people who do wrong have really got afraid of
the Recorder and Johnson. Only two could be found
bold enough to approach the judgment scat yesterday
morning.
A. H. Simms—said it was so—and pa«d $.» and costs.
Charles Austin, the colored gorilla, was up—said ho
had not been drunk, but did ask a nun to pay his
board bill. His Honor keeps boarders some times,
Charles got off with the coats.
New KaterprUs.
We have seen the April number, which it also the
first lsssue, of a small sheet neatly printed called the
“Western Atlantic Beilway Gazette” published for the
pnasaofsr department of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad Company. It is published by Barrow tbe
printer, while Capt. J. 8. Peterson Is the advertising
agent. The Editor s name does not appear. Who is

3 o'clock yesterday evening. and attempt-

ed to rid hi so self of bis harden, and threw Mr. Dodd
on the street, in a manner exhibiting skill in the bual*
nees. The occurrence did not disturb the equanimity
of the alderman to say considerable extent, ibough it
wMinded his feelings. We exceedingly regret tbe freak
of the mole, and are glad that no serious injury ensued
from It. That male needs a lecture from our Recorder
Let him have it.
Professional Jurors.
To the Editors of the Herald:
Excuse me for calling the attention of the outside
public to the sickly sights thet are Been every Monday
morning, during the sitting of Fulton Superior Court.
Htout, able-bodied men, who are tco lazy to pursue
an honest avocation, can bo seen electioneering with
the different Sheriffs to secure tho much-coveted sit
uation of jurors, at a salary of $2 per day. Gentlemen
of undoubted veracity, have frequently expressed
their belief that a jury would “hang” on until dinner
time, for the purpose of getting their dinner at the
expense of the county, and before tho Honorable
Judge retired from tbe court room, a certain venera
ble juror would demand “coffee in hia'n.”
Hew long will this tad state of affairs exist ? The
Sheriffs nave resolved to “clean them out,” but it
ssems, from the display made lately, that they will
have to provide themselves with a pair of brass
knucks and a alung-ahot each.
We will take occasion to post you further on this
subject if the evil is not speedily abated.
A Disgusted Btstandf.r.
Flat Defaulters.
The city street chain gang, consisting of four ne
groes, three able bodied men and one email boy, were
at work under the direction of Policeman Owens, on
Slabs me street. In front of the Herald office. Howard
Horton, the notorious negro politician of Atlanta, is
among the force contributing the exercise of his phys
ical frame to the city. He was convicted before His
Honor Recorder Hammond, a few days since of selling
ardent spirits a* retail on the Sebbeth day without
licence from the Mayer and Connell, and being minus
th* swm of $M 00 which wee aeseseed against him,
he was placod at work en tbe streets. Let him re
member thet a mans political prominence does not
make him superior to the law and the laws domain.
Why Is tMts Thai 1
On Wednesday mor ning last, as Mr. W. A. King, an
employee of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany, was wending his way homeward at about two
o'clock in the morning, when ascending the hill
the wseism aide of the Macon bridge, was approached
by * men from behind a tree in a mysterious men
Tbe nun refused to answer when accosted, and Mr.
King—who, by tho way, le a clever gentleman—sud
denly remembered certain business engagements that
required hie etlsotlou and left the scene in e rapid
pace, betog afcnoet frightened out of hie wits by the
extraordinary conduct of the man “ behind the tree.”
Why thia poatteon wee taken by the man, and why he
refuted to explain himself, le accounted for by Mr.
Xing on tbe ground that hie object wae mischief.
While whizzing across the Chattahoochee
bridge, we were signalled by an artist who
was photographing the wild and romantic
scenery in the vicinity, and Capfc. Drake blew
down brake, and allowed the artist to take a
picture of the train standing over the river. A
prominent feature of this magnificent photo
graph was Doc. Smith standing on the edge
of the bridge with the Herald unfurled to tho
breeze. These pictures will be on sale at the
principal news depots of the South in a few
days. Doc’s autograph will be given to every
one taking half a dozen copies of the picture.
Whitesburg is a flourishing village named
in honor of Captain Jack White, President of
the road, and although not yet out oi its
swaddling clothes, has fifteen or twenty
stores, run by live and energetic men, nice
churches and all the necessary adjuncts, in
cluding a regular number one hotel. Near
the village is a fine granite querry capable of
infinite development, a superb mineral spring
of Chalybeate properties, and for this would
make a fine summer resort.
CAPTAIN JIM M’COOL.
If we were asked who was the best conduc
tor that ever pulled a bell-rope we should at
once name Jim McCool. Affable to any de
gree, plucky as a little tiger, always jolly, it
is a real pleasure to travel with him. We
once saw him cut loose his train from a drun
ken Engineer, refuse to turn a wheel till he
left the Engine again when ho was “running
behind ” we saw him go into the woodpile,
in one minute throw on more wood to his
hungry engine than all the other hands put
together. He’s a regular “hummer.” That’s
just what he is ! Jellby.

Who Struck Farrow ?
The momentous question of “Who struck
Billy Patterson?” pales in significance and im
portance before the thrilling conundrum
“Who struck Potash Farrow?” The eminent
Federal Attorney states he was viciously as
saulted whilst pensively prancing on his
homeward way down President street on Sat
urday night about 8 o’clock. No damage was
done, and the foul fiend, after failing iu his
purpose, vanished ia the air. No one save
the 'stalwart attorney, caught a glimpse of the
would-be-assassin; although several per
sons promptly responded to his thrilling
cry for tbe “perlice !” yet no retreating form
was seen in the distance. This was strange,
and the spectators were at a loss to imagine
whore the assaulter had fled. Farrow had on
his long-sighted specs, and this may account
for his seeing so much more and farther than
any one else. Tho matter remains enveloped
in mystery, and to the solemn inquiries of
“Who struck Billy Patterson?” and “Who
killed Cock Robin ?” which have been wont to
perplex the juvenile mind from time imme
morial, will now bo added the mysterious one
of “Who struck Potash Farrow V”
Seriously, we have made every inquiry re
garding this affair, and can discover nothing
at all satisfactory from the various conflicting
repoits current concerning it. If the assault
was made at all, we can only look upon it as
an unpremeditated affair, tbe impulse of the
moment, and no one can believe that such an
attack was designed or encouraged by those
who give tone to our community. Whilst the
District Attorney lias made himself rather
odious by his evident desire to oppress and
persecute onr people, tho simple fact that he
and others of like ilk have walked the streets
unmolested, at times and in quarters where
tho conditions would have been more favora
ble to the accomplishment of such a purpose,
is the best evidence that this alleged assault
was not committed by any of our own white
population.—Sav. Sews, 5t/u

Friend. By it woman is emancipated from
numberless ills peculiar to her sex. Before
its magic power all irregularities of the womb
vanish. It cures whites. It cures suppres

structions. It cures constipation and
strengthens the system. It braces the nerves
aud purifies the blood. It never fails, as
thousands of women will testify. This valu
able medicine is prepared and sold by L. H.

The UeeormtloM of the Graves of Itoe
Confederate Dead To-Morrrow.
To-morrow is tbe anniversary of tbe death of Stone
wall Jackson. Who does not remember tbe poignant
grief with which a young and struggling nstiou re
ceived the news of hts death in 1863. This day has
also been set apart for the decoration of the graves of
the Confederate dead burled in the Cemetery at At
lanta. Many of these are tbe fathers, brothers, hus
bands and sons of people living In our midst, while
vary many of tbe head boards bear the word Unknown.
These men died in defense of a cause, lost now it is
true, second to none for which man ever died in honor
and in glory. They felt as we felt that they were
fighting for human rights. Shall we on to-morrow
neglect to offer them onr annual floral tribute.
If so, we will demonstrate to onr people and to the
world, that these dead braves are not only unknown,
bat that their memorise are unhonored by those for
whom they died. Lot ns not suffer this to be the case.
Barely we can all afford to devote one day In th# year
to beautifying their graves all over our Southern land.
General Gartington. a brave soldi#r and accomplished
scholar, will deliver the sddreas on the occasion.
This alone will be worth the Urns necessary to visit
the cemetery sad participate in the exercises of the
day. In this coonsetion, we suggest to Urn Ctty Oou*.
all that at their meeting to-night, they request busi
ness men to close their house* and take their tauUiss
out on the occasion.
Assessment of Real Ratals.
The assessors selected by tbs Oily Council are now
engaged 00 the Seventh Ward, and will terminate their
work of assessing to-morrow. It is no small job to
pass upon the value st real estate of Atlanta, occupy*
ing as it dost, rush an Immense space of territory.
Franco-German Relations—An
Interchange of Civilities.
General Von Manteulfel, commanding the
German troops in the occupied departments
of France, gave a dinner on the 15th ulh, at
Nancy, in honor of M. Thiers, whose seven-
ty-»ixtb birthday it was. According to an
account in the Debate, the gaests were sixty
in number, and included tbe generals and
staff officers of the German army, the French
officials of the town, and others, who had
been specially invited. After dinner, Gen.
Von Manteuffel proposed a toaat in the fol
lowing terms: "If I could speak French I
wonld make a speech, but as I cannot do so, I
will only mention the name of the great citi
zen whose health I wish to propose: bat his
name alone says more than a long speech
ronld telL 1 drink to the health of H.
Thiers.” M. de Saint Vallier, the Frcnoh
representative at the Gorman headqaarters,
replied thus: “I thank General Von Maa-
teuffel for tho motive which led him to in
vite ns here and propone this toast to onr
illustrious President. I thank him in the
name of M. Thiers, and in the name of all
present, for the words ho h«e just spoken. I
beg yott te join with me in drinking to the
health of the General-in-Chief, who, daring
nearly two years that be has commanded mllvery, M«y
here, has known how to convert tho task '
which he had to fulfill—one difficalt for him
and painful for ns—into a mission of pacifi
cation and conciliation. Let ns drink to the
health of General von Manteuffel, and may
we retain the recollection of tbe noble quali
ties which he has displayed i* all his actions
—justioe, moderation, impartiality." M.
Jouseenderot, tbe Prefect of fee Maras, ax-
pressed, on behalf of the now evacuated de
partments, the sentiments of gratitude whioh
the inhabitants entertained towards Ges. Von
Manteuffel for his moderation daring two
years of a melancholy crisis. M. Bernard,
the Mayor of Nancy, and M. Doniol, prefect
of the Meorthe et Moselle, spoke to a similar
effect, and also thanked M. de Haint Vallier
for tbe successful efforts be had mads during
the past two years to render the oonssqusnoes
of the war less grievous to the occupied de
partments.

The Atlanta Herald.
Announcement for 1873#
Established only in August o last year,
he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months,
risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism,
and has obtained a circulation which has not
any precedent in the history of Southern
newspapers.
When first issued, the proprietors declared
jtheir parpose to make the Hf.rald a bold,
outspoken paper, independent of all political
parties, cliques and rings aDd devoted solely
to the interests of the masses, without regard
to class or station. The condition of politi
cal parties in the South was such, that un
der no circumstances could the Herald give
its support to Radicalism; hence, it has in
variably advocated the election ot Democrats
to office, such advocacy being based upon the
capacity of candidates. The Herald, there
fore, has assumed the position of an inde
pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con
tinue to hold it, so long as the Democracy
remain the political party which serves the
people with more honesty and ability than
any other party in the State. Nevertheless,
the Herald will continue, in the future, aa in
the past, to criticise men and measures,
without regard to political prejudices and
affiliations, condemning everything its pro
prietors believe injurious to the interests of
Georgia, and praising and supporting all
that they believe likely to promote the pros
perity of the State and the happiness of her
people.
As a neiespaper y the Herald is already ad
mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. Events
transpire with such rapidity that every per
son who desires to keep pace with the times,
must have a live daily or weekly paper. Our
columns will be found to give the very latest
news on every subject Whatever of inter
est occurs in any part of the world is made
known to our readers, and all the various top
ics of the day are discussed intelligently and
without bias.
Never before in the history of the world
was it more necessary for every person who
can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The
struggle between centralism and Constitu
tional Democratic Government is entering
upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and
bond rings at tho North control and direct
the legislation of Congress, and as their in
terest can only be advanced by the existence
ot a strong, centralized government, they are
passing laws, one by one, whose ultimate de
sign is to reduce the States to tbe con
dition of mere provinces. Encroachments
more radical and startling than ever have
been made on the rights of the peophe The
South has been converted into a second Ire
land: her governments overturned by the
mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal
bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign
adventurers and native scoundrels, and her
libei ties crushed out with a ruthlessness which
has not any parallel save in Poland, Ireland,
and Hungary. To day the men who struggled
through six years of bloody warfare, and the
children of the martyrs to the cause of South-
era Independence are political slaves, and
what their future is to be, remains shrouded
in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the
terrible corruptions of the party in power, as
proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions,
implicating tbe outgoing and incoming Vice
Presidents, together with a large number of
the most prominent leaders of tho Radicals,
are undermining the very foundation of Dem
ocratic institutions, and paving the way for
empire.
While in the United States there is much
of mournful interest to attract the reader of
cotemporary history, abroad the drama is
equally exciting and important. France is
still kept unquiet by the violence of political
factions; iu Great Britain the masses are
moving towards Democracy; in Germany the
Church question has assumed formidable
proportions; in Italy the situation increases
in interest, while in Spain there are evidences
that the revolution which placed Amadeus on
the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, in
short, do we daily witness new and startling
occurrences, the regular and faithful record
of which makes tho Herald a perfect history
of the world.
With a large corps of competent and ex
perienced editors, correspondents and repor
ters, and with arrangements concluded or
making for letters from all parts of the world
we can promise to the reading public a paper
which will, in every respect, satisfy their de
sires. Literature, science, the arts, will all
receive attention. Our agricultural, com
mercial and manufacturing interests will be
earnestly and steadfastly supported, and our
columns will always be kept open to poor and
rich alike.
