FilESESTATIOV OF PLATE.
Last night about midnight, we received an
invitation to be present in tlie composing
room. On entering that department we found
the compositor force of the Morning News es
tablishment, paper and job office, assembled
around the imposing stone, in rear of which
stood our worthy foreman, Mr. H. J. Divine,
his countenance'Wearing ail aspect of gravity
THE SAVANNAH PRICES CURRENT.
Wo issue, every Friday morning, our regular weekly
report of the Savannah market, containing a full state
ment of prices, sales, receipts and exports of cotton
during tho week, with tables showing the same at
other ports. It also contains a review and wholesale
price list of other articles, and a general summary of
this market, and a list of vessels in port, &c. kc.
The letter sheet is printed with new, dear type, and
on good white French commercial letter paper.
Merchants* business earns inserted in all orders for
ten copies or more, without extra charge.
Single copies, five cents; by the hundred, four
dollars. #
We deliver the Prices Currents at subscribers*

TO THE TRUE-HEARTED -PEOPLE OF
GEORGIA.
Again we come before you to plead the
cause of our unburied dead. As you may
know, the Legislature of 1866 made a small
appropriation, and appointed us trustees of
the fund, to bury the dead of Chickamauga
and along the line of Sherman's march to At
lanta, and to gather into a common resting-
place the remains of those who were not un
der the protecting care of local memorial as
sociations. For this purpose the citizens of
Harrietts gave us a beautiful Bite immediately
on the railroad, into which, with our limited
means, we have removed over twelve hun
dred badies. Hundreds still remain uncared
for in the neglected comers and roadsides;
and the battle-fields where they fell, to be
trampled by the beasts of the field or turned
over by the plowshaer. Another small ap
propriation was made—too small, however,
to continue, with any hope of success, so
great au undertaking.
, The general government has spent millions
on the Federal cemeteries of Marietta »nri
Andersonville. The Immblestxolored soldier
who died in the Federal service, has a well
guarded, beautiful and costly resting place,
marked with slabs of purest marble; tower
ing monuments attest the gratitude of their
tots made by tho bin of
that betokened something out of the ordina
ry routine of business. In front of him, •
neatly veiled with a sheet of wldtepapmv
stood an object which seemed to bo the cen
tre of attraction- Shortly after, our proprie
tor, Mr. Estill, who had been summoned
from the counting room entered, whereupon,
before he had scarcely a survey of the situa
tion, Mr. Divine addressed him as follows:
Mb. Estha—As Foreman, the pleasing
duty has been devolved on me of presenting
von, in the name of the Compositors of the
Morning News establishment, this Christmas
present
It is pleasing, sir, to be made the medium
of sentiments ef respect and good will en
tertained by my fellowTcraftsmen for a mem
ber of our fraternity, who, by his liberality
as an employer, and uniform kindness in his
personal relations with us, has so justly enti
tled himself to our esteem and friendship.
Accept this testimonial, sir, not for its in
trinsic value, bat for the sentiment it con
veys. We tender it as a token of the good
will and mntnal interest which shonld ever
exist between the employer and employed,
the enterprise and energy which plans and
directs, and the industry and fidelity which
performs—and which, in concord and harmo
ny, are indispensable for the achievement of
success. i.,. -
In the Morning News establishment, sir, it
gives ns pleasure to say that these relations
have been folly realized. May they continue
to be so, and may the success which has en
couraged your past efforts be only the precur-
8erof a steadily increasing and still more
substantial prosperity.
Mr. Esttll, taken completely by surprise,
was, in the flush of the moment, at a loss for
words in whioh to express his sense of the com
pliment so unexpectedly paid him. He assur
ed the employees of the Morning News of his
appreciation of their gift, and of his gratitude
for the kind sentiments with which it was
accompanied. He was taken completely by
i surprise. He had not merited such a mark
of their consideration, for he had only done
Dig duty to to Gin and to himselfi It was
gratifying to him to know that his business
relations and personal intercourse with them
had been so mutually satisfactory. He took
pleasure in acknowledging and thanking
them for the devotion which they had always
shown to the interests of the office, and as
sured them that it wouid be his constant
effort to merit their esteem and to deserve
the mutual confidence and friendly relations
which have heretofore existed between him
self and them. He would accept their
beantifiil present and value it, not for its
worth, bnt as a memento of this occasion.
The present consists of a handsome silver
pitcher, salver and two goblets. Upon the
pitcher is inscribed, “Art preservative of all
arts.” -‘Presented to J. H. Estill, Proprietor,
by the compositors of the Morning News Es
tablishment. December 25th, 1868.”
On the salver is engraved the words, “Merry
Christmas,” and the enps bear the initial let
ters, “J. H. E.”
The record of this pleasant incident would
be incomplete without an acknowledgment
from us of the exemplary character, intelli
gence, industry and generous devotion of
the donors. Worthy practitioners of “ the
art, preservative of all arts,” snch a mark of
their appreciation and esteem, is a compli
ment of which the recipient may justly be
prond.

government, while our noble heroes are still
left in silence and neglect Shall this dis
graceful neglect continue, or can we get such
aid as will enable us, with the opening
spring, to .place them all in consecrated
ground? May we not beg the aid of every
Georgian ? Can they continue deaf to the
cry of their uncoffined. dead ? Will not their
friends, neighbors and comrades, in the
glorious cause for which they fell, see to it
that their bones no longer moulder, uncared
for on the hillside ? We ask not for graded
walks, or iron railings, or marble slabs, or
Heaven pointing monuments. We know that
Georgians will educate their sons to give all
this in the future, but we do ask for them
now an untrodden grave; surely that is little
enough for the most lowly. Can it be refused
to those loved martyrs, who for our honor,
our homes, our flag, our all that was dear to
us, risked their lives, and fell where brave
inen love to foil—On the field of battle ? That
our cause was lost was surely not their fault,
nor has. defeat lessened our obligation to them;
then, in the name of humanity, and in Be
half of Geoijgia’s honor, ,we appeal to yon
as Georgians, as Southern men and women,
to flnish.this work, and to the people of every
community in this State to remember these
men died defending your right to worship God
according to the dictates of your ;own con
science, and we earnestly ask .each Pastor to

GENERAL AMNESTY AND PARDON.
The telegraph brings ns the Proclamation
of Resident Johnson, granting general am
nesty and pardon to all who participated di
rectly or .indirectly in the late rebellion so
called. For this act: of grace all good.
Confederates will be thankful to the President
as a manifestation of his good intentions, but
while Congress usurps the power to set aside
and overrule Executive authority, his act of
elemency, even at 'this late day, is little more
thanamockery. While it relieves nominal rek-
’ els from criminal prosecution and confiscation
it will not, under the laws of Congress, restore
the disfranchised or relieve from political
disabilities. We shonld not be surprised to
see a law introduced and passed, on the re
assembling of Congress, declaring the Presi
dent’s pardon null and void. It is highly
probable that it will 'insure the Radical ma
jority, and afford them a pretext for new acts
of outrage and persecution.
our earnest solicitations, a
small party of ladies of your State, whole
souled, country-loving women, have consent

Forney’s last appearance i6 a funny one.
Some base wretch tried to open his valuable
columns to the advocates of the pnrehase of
Alaska. The incorruptible Forney indig
nantly informed the monster that he, Forney,
was, like the wife of Cesar, if not of a later
public character concerning whom Forney
once wrote a letter, “above suspicion;” that he
was au officer of the Senate, and that his
hands must be clean; and that, on the whole,
the monster had better give the money to
Forney's brother. Thus did tbe'pure Forney
preserv e his three thousand dollars in gold
and eke his virtue; the two columns of hiB

Motion for a new trial from Lee.
WARNER, J.—A note was made in De
cember, 1864, payable the first of January
thereafter, “in currency, and should the cur
rency depreciate beyond its present value it
is to be estimated at its present value and so
paid.” There were two credits made on the
note, one dated 28th December, 1864, and
one on the 25th of February, 1865. The
court below charged the jury that “the cred
its on the note were an absolute and full ex
tinguishment of the debt to the amount of
the credit;” held that the charge of the court
was ri<riit upon this branch of the case in the
absence of any evidence to the contrary, and
that there was no error in the refusal of the
court to grant a new trial upon the evidence
as disclosed by the record. Judgment affirm-

There was no error in the court below in
refusing to charge the jury as requested by
.defendant’s counsel “as to the law of the

The charge of the court should be based upon

WARNER, J.—When the complainants in
equity cause made a motion in the court be
low to have the cause set down for trial,
which application to the court was resisted
on the ground that the several claims of the
plaintiffs in that bill had been adjudicated by
a former decree of the court in a cause in
which the complainants, with othera, were
parties, and the court upon inspection of the
record not being satisfied that the claim, of
the complainants had been settled and adju
dicated by the former decree, ordered the
cause to be set down for a bearing, to ascer
tain that fact, which order of the court was
excepted to and brought to this court. Held
that the decision complained of by the plain
tiff in error, was not such a final disposition of
the cause as would entitle him to.bring up the
decision of the court below to tins court upon
a bill of exceptions thereto, under 4191st sec
tion of the Code; the cause being still pend
ing in the court below, in accordance with
the express terms of the order Pf the court,

the landlord, as a tenant cannot under the stat

landlord; and the lease so far as the landlord’s
rights were concerned, remained partnership

A Telegraphic Ebrob.—There seems to
have been an error in the dispatch which we
published on Tuesday morning, which an
nounced that the Senate Judiciary Committee
had decided that there is no necessity for
Congressional action in reference to Georgia,
and will report Senator Edmunds’ bill back
with amendments.”
The Washington dispatch of the same date
in the Louisville Courier reads as follows:
The Senate Judiciary Committee have de
cided that there is a necessity for Congres
sional action in reference to Georgia, and
will report back with amendments the bill of
Senator Edmunds.
As Senator Edmund’s bill proposes to tain
the Georgia Representatives out of Congress
and remit the State to, a provisional govern
ment, it is not likely that they wqnld agree
to report back the bill with amendments, if
they had determined that there was no ne
cessity for Congressiopal action in the prem-
It is more probable that the Courier's
is correct, in which event we may
expect more Reconstruction cobbling, when
the Radicals get sober after their holiday

Equity from Sumter.
Mc.CAY, J.—A contract between a factor
or commission merchant and a planter, giv
ing lien upon the crop of the latter for pro
visions furnished to make it, is not required
by the act of ths 15th of December, 1866,
to be in writing. The lion is a good one be
tween the parties, and the agents and
purchasers with notice, though it lie only jn
parol.
A hill filed by the factor and sanctioned,
granting a ne exeat against one charged to have
a portion of the crop in possession as agent of
the planter, and requiring him to produce the
same, that it may be subjected to said lien,
ought not to be discharged on the coming in
of the answer not denying the plaintiff s equity,
except on information and belief, even though
supported by an affidavit setting up title in
the affiant, to the crop, especially when the
affidavit does not deny notice of the lien.

BROWN, C. J.—J. A and B mode and de
livered to C their joint arid several promissory
note, due twelve months after date. , C after
wards, for a valuable consideration, agreed
with A, without the consent of B, to extend
the time of payment twelve months longer,
C endorsed and delivered the note to D, after
it was due, with notice of the extension of
time of payment. D, after said time expired,
sued A and B as makers and C as endorser,
and obtained judgment. B> who was then
absent in the military service, returned, after
the rendition of judgment, and entered an
appeal within. the time allowed: by the ordi
nance of. the Convention of 1865, and set up
the defence that he was only a surety for A
and had no interest in the consideration of the
note. A, who had entered no appeal, died
before the trial and was not a party to the is
sue on trial. Held, that on the issue between
D, as plaintiff and B. as defendant, B was
a competent witness under our statute to prove
that he was only a surety to the note. In a
suit by A's representative, after payment .out
of A’s estate, against B for contributions, A and
B, who were parties on the same, side of the
original contract, wonld be opposing parties
to the issue on trial,- and B wonld be an in
competent witness.-
2. The evidence that B was only a surety
and that C knew that A. was to pay the debt,
was' sufficient fo sustain the finding of the
jmy and the extension of time of payment
given by C to A, without the consent of B,
the surety, released him.
.3. A motion was made, which the Court
agreed to consider in connection with the re
cord, to dismiss this case, on the ground that
the new Constitution of the State, adopted I
since the trial in the court below, denies to
the courts of this State jurisdiction to enforce
any contract, the consideration of which was
a slave, it appearing from the record, that the

An American Beauty Abroail.
[From tbs Louisville Courier-Journal.]
Among the many famous beauties whom
our city boasts none were ever so much ad
mired, probably, as the brilliant and fascina
ting Miss Beil Key, who married the late
Colonel James Hewitt, C. S. A., (who was
killed at Chicamauga), and after remaining
in great seclusion abroad, was married to a
distinguished and wealthy Polish gentleman
residing in New York, about a year ago. The
happy couple is now visiting in Poland. The
Warsaw Courier of November 2, makes the
following-allusion to an American family re
cently visiting that cjty. The persons allud
ed to are Mr. Martin Zb'orowsji} (Zabriski) of
Morrisania, and his accomplished and beauti
ful wife. We quote:
“During the representation at the theatre
on Saturday night all eyes were fixed on the
parterre-box at the left of the stage, and real
ly the curiosity of the spectator was more
than gratified, for in the box was seated a
lady splendid in beauty and glittering in pre
cious stones. We admit, in all frankness,
that we haye pever seen such a diadem as
that which crowned the plassjc brow of .this
beautiful creature; and so, also, lA'jth the col
lar of oriental pearls of great price, joined by
stars of diamonds, yet even less perfect than
the neck which tijey surrounded. We are in
formed that the husband of this Jady belongs
to one of our iilustrious families, a member of
which settled In America two hundred years
ago, and that he and his - wife are now on a
visit to this country, where its ancestor—its
honor and its glory—formerlv lived. These
distinguished personages have already travel
ed for some years in Europe, and intend to
honor Warsaw with their presence for a few
weeks.”
