A corre*poodent of the New YorkTiuus, speaking of the criticism of the Georgia press upon Er&kine's “negro jury decision” ssys: “It already has had a noticeably de pressing effect upon his system.” This is re ally the sweetest piece of news we have heard for a long lime. If he could only be made fully aware of the estimation in which the honest people of this State hold him, the de pression of to-day would be “mad hilarity” compared to the melancholy that would seize him then. THii CHATTANOOGA TIMES AND THE GEORGIA PRESS. We really haven’t any space or any time to waste on Kirby, of the Chattanooga Times, or bis little paper, but copy this squib from its gifted columns merely to show its animus: The Atlanta Herald abases the Times and calls its editor ugly names because we said that the late Governors’ Convention (may its soul rest in peace) was seized upon and con trolled by a ring of canal speculators, who went into it with & cut and dried programme; that this ring was made up of the incorpora tors of the Georgia Canal Company; that its leaders had got control of a portion of the press of that State by promising them, in some instances, stock, and giving it outright in others. These statements we know to be substantially true, and if some respectable newspaper should take the responsibility of a square denial—which the Herald does not— we might be induced to prove their truth. As far as the Herald is concerned we squarely deny the charge, and believe that it is ill-natured buncombe from beginning to end. Kirby is to be pardoned for pandering to the prejudices of his own little bailiwick, for that is meat and bread to him; but he has no right to step outside and abuse, honest people in the furtherance of this intention; for that is not meat, and certainly iil-bread, Such a course does not greatly enhance a reputation that is already not remarkable for courtesy and fairness in discussion. But, then, what is the ose of worrying about Kirby? Good by, little boy. Our State Exchanges The “negro troops” of Savannah puff the Advertiser, as that journal is the only one, so far, that has recognized their official existence.

Old Floyd will make the county that beats her get up an hour or so before day to do so. Covington Enterprise: Young men who contemplates matrimony with the expectation of “ living with the old man,” had better steer clear of this county. A worthy farmer who has several lovely daughters was asked by one of these “home hunters” if Miss Mary manies will she still live at your home to make your life bnght and happy 7* He skinned one eye, and replied : “No, sir ! When one of my gals swarms she must hunlher own hive.” The Thomasville Enterprise says: We had a call a few days since from our old friend Judge H. C. Tucker, of Colquitt. He is one of the pioneers of this section of Georgia, lo cating within a short distance of w here he now resides in 1825. He passed through a tangled pathway, though the place where now stands Thomasville, before a stick was cut. Among other reminiscences, be told us of kill ing, skinning and hanging up ten deer in one forenoon: and it was not a very good day for hnnting either.

Americas Republican: Mach ot the cotton planted in the month of April will have to be plowed up and replanted, and a great breadth of land that was intended for cotton, owing to the weather, is not yet planted.

Kim brough, living seven miles southwest of Ham ilton, went fishing last Friday night, on a neighboring branch. He sat down on a pile of rubbish, which he put bis hand down to move, when he was bitten on the hand by a moccasin. Dr. Bruce was sent for eighteen boars after, and found him in a comatose con dition, talking incoherently, and conld only get him to swallow even fluids with the great est difficulty. He died on Sunday. Dr. Bruce informs ns that he remarked peculiari ties about this case which he has never wit nessed before in any similar one in his prac tice. Be frequently blew like an adder, pro truded his tongue and strnck at everything within his reach—always missing what he struck at. He would seize the bed-clothing and shake them, and in every way imitate the actions of a snake. A fire broke out in a bar 100m and was drowned out of champagne bottles. You see it got tight and was “arrested.” An old negro in Savannah saved $175 by ten years hard labor, and following that well known sagacity of bis race hid it in an old gourd.

Farrar vs. Charles E. Marshall, et al. Claim, from Whitfield. WARNER, J. The plaintiff foreclosed a laborer’s lien on a shingle machine, as the property ot the de fendant, which w as claimed by C. S. and S. Burt os their property. Or the triaiof the claim case the jury found the property sub ject. A motion was made for a new trial on the several grounds stated therein, which was granted by the Court, and the plaintiff ex cepted. There is no evidence in the record that Brooks, the Ordinary before whom the proper affidavit was made to obtain the ap peal, was acting as counsel for the plaintiff at the time it w as made. In our judgment there w as sufficient evidence before the jury to au thorize them to find the property subject un der the charge of the Court. The weight of the evidence, we think, i3 in favor of the ver dict, that the title to the machine was in the defendant, and had never passed out of him to the claimants when the ievy was made thereon. Let the judgment of the Court below be reversed. W. H. Brooker, f>. A. Walker, for plaintiff in error. T. R. Jones, Johnson A McCamy, for de fendant;. Joseph P. Carr vs. Benedict, Hall A Co., Garnishment, from Richmond. WARNER, C. J. Benedict, Hall & Co., judgment creditors of Foster Blodgett, garnisheed Joseph P. Carr, Esq., an Attorney at Law, who answered that he had iu his hands $574.75 belonging to the defendant, the Court ordered the money in the hands cf the garnishee to be paid into Court to be disposed of as the Court might thereafter direct. At a subsequent day, when the motion to dispose of the money came on to be heaid there were sundry executions in lavor of different plaintiffs against the defend ant Blodgett, before the Court claiming the money. The garnishee stated in his plea to the Court that before the summons of garnish ment was served on him, that be had de cided to appropriate the money in his hands to the payment ot judgments against the de fendant in favor of Picquet, Bigelow end Em- merson, but had not actually done so, because he was waiting the consent to, or refusal of such appropriation by the defendant The Court ordered the money in Court to bo paid to the oldest execution before it, alter paying to the execution in favor of Benedict, Hall A Co., the diligent creditors bringing the money into Court, the sum of $185 39 the same being the amount of fees and costs in obtaining said judgment. Whereupon exceptions were filed to the decision of the Court. We find no er ror m the judgment distributing the money paid into Court by the garnishee under its or der, on the statement of facts disclosed in the record. Let the judgment of the Court below be affirmed. Joseph P. Carr, for plaintiff in error. Frank H. Miller, for defendants. Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Company vs. Ann E. Lacy. Trespass, from Whit field. WARNER, C. J. On the first of October, 1870, the plaintiff instituted her action against Barney, Super intendent, and Breed, lessee of the Selma, Romo and Dalton Railroad Com pany, in the county of Whitfield, in this State, to recover damages for the killing of her husband by the running of an engine and lmin of cars by said railroad company on the 3d day of August, 1870, near Oxford, in the State ol Al ibama. The case was tried in the Court below, and brought before this Court by writ of error at the July term, 1671, when the judgment of the Court below was reversed, this Court holding and deciding that the ac tion could not be maintained in the courts of I ~ .. Charles McCalla to recover damages, fail . ^er Ju6band in that State, liifc- hcfrfghttfij recover damages therefor to •ney*&fromi| th* time of his death, ud gives tut right of action to his personal rep resentative. It is true that the laws of other States, and foreign nations, have no force and effect of themselvea with in this State farther than is pro vided by the Constitatioo of the United States, and ia recognized by the comity of States] but the Courta of this State will enforce this comity nntil restrained by the General As sembly, ao loDg aa its enforcement is not con trary to the policy or prejudicial to the inter ests of this State.—Code, section 9. When the Courts of this State voluntarily undertake to enforce the laws of another State in a snirit of comity, they are bound to be governed by them so far as the rights of the parties are concerned, who are affected by them, that is to say, the rights of the parties in this case, must be measured and controlled in the stat ute of Alabama when the Courts of this State voluntarily undertake to enforce it here, and if the plaintiff s right to sne for damages must be commenced within one year from the death of her hnsband as a condition to her right to recover in that State, so tbe Courts of thfe State must administer that law here. In asmuch, therefore, as the plaintiff could not have maintained her action in her own name for the injury complained of, or have maintained her action for damages in the Courts of Alabama for that injury at the time the amendment was tiled (it being more than one year from the death of her hnsband) neith er can she maintain her action therefor in the ! Oonrts of this State, and the Conrt below erred in overruling the demurer to the plain tiff's amended declaration. The fatal error of the plaintiff in Ihe Conrt below consists in the assumption that her original action to recover damages for tbe injury complained of was authorized by the common law or the law of nations, which is a part of the common law, whereas, her right to recover the damages sued for was founded on the statute of this State, and that statute being a domestic municipal regulation, had no ex- traterilorial operation, and did not afford tbe plaintiff any cause of action against the de fendant for the injury complained ot in the State of Alabama. Whilst it is true that the Courts of this State will, in a spirit of comity, enforce the statute of Alabama in favor of the plaintiff so as to enable her to recover dam ages for the injury done to her there (the stat ute of that State not being contrary to the policy or prejudicial to the interests of the State) still when she does so, she asserts a distinct cause of action arising exclusively under the statute of that State, and her rights must necessarily be controlled by it In other words, the Courts of this State will adminis ter it, ao far as the rights of the parties are concerned. If the plaintiff conld not have recovered in the Courts of Alabama Jfor the injury done there, at the time the amendment was filed, or in her own name for that injury, then she cannot recover therefor in tbe Courts of this State. In administering the law of Alabama for the benefit of the plaintiff, the Courts of this State must be governed by that law, so far as her rights claimed under it are concerned. In onr judgment the Conrt below erred in not suBtaining the demurrer to the plaintiffs declaration as amended, and dis missing the same. Let the judgment of the Court below be reversed. I. E. Shumate, Printnp it Fouche, for plaintiff in error. J. & J. A. Glenn, D. A. Walker for de fendant. Recently, in Iowa, sparks from a steamer employed by a railroad company set. fire to an elevator owned by the company, and sparks from the elevator set fire to a mill, and the owners of the mill have sned the company for $22,000 damages. this State for the injury done within the ter ritory of the Stale of Alabama, without an allegation in the declaration that the law of tbe State of Alabama gave to the plaintiff a right of action to recover these damages for killing her hnsband by the railroad company. (See 43d Ga. Rap., 401.) When the case was remitted back to the Conrt below the plaintiff offered to amend her original declara tion by adding a const thereto that her husband was killed by the said railroad company by the negligent runniog of its en gine and cars on its said road, and setting forth the law of tbe State of Alabama which authorized her to recover damages from the company for the killing of her husband in that State. The amendment was filed on the 23d day of October, 1871. Ou the last trial of the cose, the defendant filed a special de murer tp the plaintiff’s amendment - First, because she does not thereby show any legal cause of action according to the law of the State of Alabama. Second, because there was no original cause of action pending in the Court below, under tbe decision of this Court, to be amended, that the alleged cause of action was out of Court, and there was nothing in Conrt to amend by. The Conrt overruled the demurrer, and the defendant excepted. The Court then proceeded with the trial of the case, and the jury found a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of S66G. A motion was made for a new trial on the several grounds of error alleged there in to the railing of the Court, which was over ruled, and the defendant excepted. By the 2297th sec’ion of the Revised Code of Ala bama, it is declared, 1 'When tbe death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, or omis sion, of another, the personal representative of the tormer may maintain an action against the latter, at any time thereafter, if the form er could have maintained an action against the latter for the same act, or omission, had it failed to produce death.” The 2298th sec tion declares that the “damages recoverd in such action cannot exceed three years’ income of the deceased, and in do case exceed tbro6 thousand dollars. The amount recovered is for the benefit of the widow; if there be none, then for the benefit of tbe child or children; if there be none, then to be distributed as to her personal property amongst the next of kin of the deceased. ’* The 2300th section declares that “if such death is caused by the wrongful act, or omission, or culpable negli gence ot any officer or agent of any chartered company, or private association of persons, snch company or association are responsible in damages, and an action'*, |may be maintained against them, as provided in the preceding sections.” Such is the law in Alabama regulating the plaintiffs right to re cover damages against the defendant for kil ling her husband in that State. Tbe right of action is confined to the personal representa tion of deceased, and, although the amount recovered by the personal representative of the deceased is for the benefit of tbe .widow, still, sbo cannot maintain an action for it in her own name. The right of the personal representative of the deceased to recover damages lor bis death, is limited to one year thereafter. In conducting the trial of the case, our Courts will be governed by our own laws as to the mode of procedure in ascer taining the rights of the parties, but as tc what are their rights, must be determined by the law# of Alabama where the act com plained ot was dona. The 2920th section of onr Code did not give to tbe plaintiff any right of action against the defendant for kill ing her husband in tbe Slate of Alabama, because, it bad no extra territorial opera tion. The alleged fact in tbe original de claration that the defendant killed the plaintiff’s hnsband in the State of Alabama, was no canse of action for which a suit could be maintained under tbe statute law cf this State, and so this Conrt decided when it sus tained the demurrer to tbe plaintiff’s original declaration. A cause of action defectively set forth may be amended, bnt where there is no canso of action set forth, there is nothing to amend by, and that is what the 3429th sec tion of onr Code MeanB when it declares that pleading may be amended whether in matter of iorm or of substance, provided, there is enough in the pleadings to amend by. No amendment adding a new and distinct cause of action shall be allowed, nniess expressly provided by law—Code 3430. Tbe fdaintiff bad not set forth any canse cf action against tbe defendant in bar original declaration which the Courts ol this State conld recog nize and enforce under the provisions of oar own statute and consequently there was nothing to amend by. The plaintiff by bar amendment introduced a new canse of action given to her by the statute law of Ala bama, and asked the Court in the spirit of comity to enforce tbe new cause of action in this State. If the amendment could have been properly allowed, still there was • fatal defect apparent on the face of the declaration as amended. The hnsband of the plaintiff is alleged to bare been killed on the fid day of August, 1870. The amendtnefit *as not Hied until tbe 23d of October. 1871, mate then one year after the alleged death of her hnband, besides she sned in her own name, end not as the personal representative of her deceased husband. The statute law of Alabama by TRIPPE, J. and McCAY, J., concurring. Where, by the law of Alabama, the per sonal representative of a party, who is killed by the wrongful act or negligence of another, is entitled to an action for damages therefor, no other person but such personal represen tative can bring such action in the Courts of this State, when the killing occurred within the State of Alabama. The widow of the party killed cannot, in her own name as such widow, maintain such action. As- Green B. McCalla snmpsit, from Whitfield. McCAY, J. When a suit was pending on a promissory note dated January 1st, I860, for $240, due one day after date, made by C. McCalla, with a memorandum on tbe back thereof as fol lows: “The within note to be paid when C. McCalla collects a certain note on Thomas Pledger for $251.” And it was in proof, by a witness, who was present when the note was mffde, that it, "the note, was given for a note the payee had on Pledger, which C. McCalla was to collect; when collected he was to pay the note sued on. The payee was to pay C. McCalla for his services. The memorandum was made at the same time as the note.” Hild, That these facts were proper to be considered by the jury in determining what the parties meant by the note and memoran dum, and that it was error in the Court to charge the jury that they could only consider it as it tended to show fraud or want of con sideration. Held, fukther, That if the facts show that it was the intent of the parties, by this note and memorandum, simply to make C. Mc Calla an agent to collect tbe Pledger note then his liability wonld depend on whether he did collect it, and if not, whether he failed to nse that diligence which it is the duty of a paid agent to nse. Judgment reversed. D. A. "Walker, for plaiLtiff in error. W. H. Payne, 3. E. Shumate, for defend ant. W. A. Gatewood vs. City Bank of Macon. Injunction from Pntnain. McCAY, J. When A filed a bill against the City Bank ef Macon, charging that he was the holder of a mortgage made by B on certain real estate, founded on a valuable consideration, that the said City Bank was also the holder of a mort gage made to it by B upon the same property, that the mortgage to the bank was given to secure payment of a note made to the bank by B for the loan of money at more than 7 per cent, per annum, and was therefore null and void; that tbe mortgage to the bank was of older date than tbe mortgage to A, and that the junior mortgage contained upon its face notice of tbe mortgage to the bank; that the mortgage to the bank had been regularly foreclosed by rale ni si, notice, and judgment of the Superior Conrt of the county of Patnam where the land was situa ted, and ordered to be sold to satisfy it; that B was insolvent, and that unless A could set aside this illegal mortgage, he wonld lose his money. The bill prayed an injunction. Tbe defend ant, on the rale to show cause, denied there was equity in the bill and insisted that if the complainant had any remedy it was at law under sections 3903 and 3892 of the Revised Code. The Judge refused the injunction, and the complainants excepted; * Held, That there was no error in the judg ment of the Court refusing the injunction. Admitting that the note, to secure which the mortgage to the bank was given is null and void f Jr usury, if the complainant has any remedy, it is only under sections 3903 and 3892 of the Code, and as that remedy, if it applies to his case, is ample and complete, equity has no jurisdiction. Judgment affirmed. Win. A. Reid, for plaintiff in error. A Proudfit, C. L. Bartlett, for defendant. The City Roan and Building Association vs. Wm. H. Goodrich et al. Injunction from Richmond. McCAY, 3. m The stockholders of a chartered Roan and Building Association agreed unanimously, at a period long antecedent to the time when, by the rules of the company, it wonld close, to cease operations and settle their mutual re latione on principles ot equity. At the same meeting a majority of the stockholders adopt ed by a vote a scheme of settlement, which repudiated, as a basis, ths rule of crediting each stockholder with his payments and the legal interest thereon, and charging him with his receipts and legal interest. but was based upon an arbitrary compromise of the assumed rights of the borrowers and non borrowers under the charter, in its ordinary working. A large number of the stockholders protested against this soheme and filed a bill in equity, seeking to enjoin the officers of the corpora tion from oarrying out said scheme, and praying that tbe rights of the parties should be ascertained and tbe assets disposed of by tbe Court on principles of equity which the bill claimed eimply required each etookholder to be credited with Ids payments and legal interest and charged with his receipts and legal interest: Hild, na#c. That, sven though the rule# of the company under the charter were not obnoxious to the laws against usury, still as by common consent it wsa agresd that the company was now to wind up, anc aa tbe contracts of the parties must therefore of necessity be set aside, and tbs rules of the charter be disregarded, it was not competent for the majority to adopta#ch the rate of interest prascri' persons having moneyed other, and Slat the injunction properly granted. 2.

Judgment affirmed. Joseph P. Carr, for plaintiff in eiror. Hook & Gardner, for defendant. Hendrick £ Bro. vs. The Virginia and Tennes see Air-Rine Railroad Company. Assump sit, from Whitfield. r TRIPPE, J. Under the act of Congress, passed March 3, 1851, entitled, “an Act to limit the liabili ty of shipowners and for othor purposes,” the owners of a steamer, which was a “first- class freight boat,” and “a seagoing vessel,” engaged iu the carrying trade between Balti more, Norfolk and Portsmorth, arc not liable for tbe loss of goods by the destruction of the vessel and cargo by fire, unless caused by the design or neglect of the owners. Nor does the fact that snch owners have formed an as sociation with other companies as carriers, extending their business as carriers into the interior, affect the question of liability for such loss. 2. When the general charge of the Court;" as to negligence was correct, an omission to charge as to any particular fact in the testi mony connected with that question, was not in error. If a more specific charge had been desired, it should have been requested. Judgment affirmed. W. K. Moore, for plaintiff in error. J. E. Shumate, D. A. Walker, for defend ant. Neil McCallum £ llro., vs. Herman Brandt. Garnishment, from the City Court of Au gusta. TRIPPE, J. At the same term at which judgment was obtained against the principal debtor, a de faulting garnishee moved the Court, after the discharge of the jurors, to be a lowed to file his answer denying any indebtedness, and for cause why the answer was not filed before, showed that the original defendant had been before that time in a case of involuntary pro ceedings in Bankruptcy, adjudged a Bank rupt; that a new trial had been granted, and the proceedings in Bankruptcy were still pending: Hei.d, That the Court did not abuse his discretion in permitting the answer to be then filed. Judgment affirmed. Frank II. Miller, for plaintiffs’ in error Joseph P. Carr, for defendant. Wilson C. Hewitt vs. Mary A. Brummell. A* sumpit, from City Court of Augusta. TRIPPE, J. 1. Where A sues Has bailor for money de posited with him for safe keeping, and H, who was a partner in business withR, the husband ot A sets up that the money was put into part nership by B, it was not error in the Court to decline to charge at the request of H. That if the claim of A bo true, yet if B put the money into the concern of H and B, the suit should have been brought I), or ngaint H and B. The nonjoinder of B should have been pleaded in abatement, in order for II to avail himself of it. And H was not entitled to tbe charge as to the suit being brought against 1! individually, unless it had contained the qual ification that H did not know the money be longed to A when it was so put into tbe con cern of H and B. 2. In such a suit, a receipt from B. to II., showing a dissolution of the firm, which had already been proven, and a settlement be tween them of the partnership business was immaterial testimony and conld not affect the rights of A. 3. Where such deposit was S950 in gold, and after demand and refusal, an action of assumpsit was brought tor that amount of gold, “or its value in currency," the plaintiff was entitled to recover the value ot the gold at the time of the demand, with interest; and as no evidence was introduced on the trial showing it was worth any premium at that time, the recovery could only have been for $950, with interest from the time of the de mand. The City Court of Augusta, whose jurisdiction is limited to one thousand dol lars, therefore, had jurisdiction of the case. 4. While it may not have been altogether proper for the Court to have said to the jury “that if they did not make haste he should not be there to receive the verdict, as the Conrt room would be occupied iu a few min utes by a Democratic meeting,” yet it does not require that the verdict should be set aside therefor, on the ground that the jury were unduly hastened by it in their delibera tions, when the Court immediately added: “You will then seal your verdict and return it in the morning. ’’ 5. If there be positive evidence to support the verdict, though conflicting with other evi dence, and the Jodge who tries the case re fuses to set it aside on tho ground that it is against the weight ol the evidence, this Court, as it has often decided, will not interfere, unless the verdict is so decidedly against the weight of the evidence as to be evidently the result of prejudice or other wrong or illegal influence of motive.
