United States District Conrt for
SontUern DistrictAtfuSggS?
Hon. John Ebshne, Judge, Presiding.
The District Court opened at ten o’clock
yesterday morning.
The Court proceeded to the consideration
of cases of bankruptcy:
In the case of Benjamin Smith, of Albany
tried at the last session of the Court, and in
which the jury rendered a verdict that he was
a bankrupt, a new trial was granted, and the
case came up yesterday. Smith was brought
into Court on the petition of H. B. Claflin &
Co., lor involuntary bankruptcy. The case
was again tried and submitted to the jury,
who, after considering for some time, were
miable to agree, and reported a miss-trial.

Motion Payton, Esq-, Savannah, 6a:
Dear Sib : In reply to the' first inquiry in
your esteemed favor of the 23d inst., I would
say that I believe an act, or bill, did pass both
Houses of the General Assembly at its late
session, to authorize the holding of an elec
tion throughout the State, in January next,
for one Justice of the Peace in each district
G. M.; but it did not receive the sanction bf
the Governor, and, therefore, did not become
a law.
As to your next inquiry “ if Sec. 475 of the
Code of Georgia is in force,” I most say it is
not, only so far as not changed by Sec. 3 of
the 14th Art. of the Amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States, which is in
these words:
“3. No person shall be a Senator or Rep
resentative in Congress, or Elector or Presi
dent, or Vice President, orjiold any office, civil
or military, under the United States, or under
any State, -who, having previously taken an
oath as a member of Congress, or as an offi
cer of the United States-, -or as a member of
any State Legislature, or as an Executive or
Judicial officer of any Stale, to .support the
Constitution of the United States, shall have
tion to such matters. This is the best kind
of reconstruction, on the soundest basis, and
will awaken mechanics, agriculturists and
such a manner that the old Empire State of
the South will loom up in future years in the
grandest kind of prosperity,

TheIscbease of Pay to the Police.—There
appears to be a hitch in the proposed increase
of ten dollars per month to the privates of
the police force. The ordinance provides for
an increase, in the same ratio, to the officers,
to which some of the members of Council are
opposed. The placing of the jail guard on
the same footing with the police is also re
garded unfavorably. So, at the last meeting
of Council the ordinance providing for an in
crease of pay was laid over until Council could
think about and consider the matter further.
If Council would stop paying nineteen or
twenty thousand dollars per year for not hav
ing the streets lighted, invest part of the sum
in kerosene lamps and oil ana the remainder
in paying for the services of a sufficient num
ber of men to strengthen the police force and
Bjake 0 more efficient,’ 1 ifwotfld be acting

It is a fact w§U known in Savannah, that
