FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Dec. 30.—Salty Andersen, who
was released from the execution of the death
■sentence by Judge Underwood, and after
wards re-arrested by the Mayor, was to-day
anally set free. The county authorities made
no requisition for her, the attorney for the
county putting it on the ground that if the
Court made a requisition and executed her it
would be in direct disobedience of Under
wood’s decision, and it could not try her
anain without conceding that all its actions,
since July, were illegal and nugatory. Gen
era! Stoneman declined to instruct the
Mayor in the matter, and accordingly
the prisoner was turned loose to-day,—
The decision of Judge Underwood, under
which she is freed, is that no Jndge or Clerk
of a Court, disqualiiied. by the Fourteenth
Amendment, is now, nor has been since the
adoption of the amendment, a legal Jndge or
Clerk, and that proceedings pf all Courts of
which they form- a part are illegal .
William Greanor, one of the oldest tobacco
mamiiaetnrers, died to-day.
Mosley Clark, who was bom in June, 1747,
died yesterday,, aged one hundred and
twenty-one years and six months. He was a
wagon driver during the Revolutionary war.

DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT

Delivered at Atlanta, December 22, 1868.
THE LOSS OF THE HIBERNIA.
BY N. J. HAMMOND, SUPREME COURT
EXPRESSLY FOR THE CONSTITUTION.
W. W. 'Whitlock, et. al vs. Jane Vann, et al
Equity—from Thomas.
BROWN, C. J.—By the third item
„ . . of the
will of A. V. he gave to his wife during her-
widowhood, certain negroes and other person
al property, and about five hundred and
twenty acres of land, known as his “Dome
Place.” In case of her marriage the negroes
were to be divided into three lots—she to take
one, and his two youngest-sons, each one
share, and his said two sons to take the bal-
ance of the property in said third, item, in
cluding the ‘-Home Place',” which was to be
held by their guardian till they were of age."
Testator afterward sold the “Home Place" to
K for $10,000, and took notes and gave bond
for titles. _ After this sale he added a codicil
to his will, in which he expresses his purpose
to give direction to' a “certain fund that he
■ shall have,” and recites the facts of the sale
of 1 the “Home Place” for $10,000, and directs
his two youngest sons, as set forth in the
third and'fourth items of his wilL He after
wards collected $2,500 of the purchase
money, which he used, and soon died. The
balance of the pnrehasa money has never
been paid, the title to the ‘.‘Home Place” re
mains in the estate, and K., the purchaser, is
insolvent:
Held, That there was on ademption of the
specific lagacy to the extent of the $2,500
collected and used by the testator before his
death, and as there is nothing for the codicil
to act upon till the purchase money due at his
death (which is the “certain fund” that was
the object of it) is collected, the codicil,
made under a .mistake, did not revoke the
will, as to the home place; and that the widow
and the two yonngest sons take it under the
third item of the will. But should the pur
chaser at a future time pay the balance of
the purchase money and interest, and com
pel a conveyance of the land, the codicE
will then attach to the fund, when so paid in,
and it will be the duty of the executors to in
vest it in a plantation for the widow and chil
dren, as directed in said codicil.

money at a marked valne, and a credit, near
ly twelve months after the assignment, filed a

the assignment, and again shortly before the
Sling of the bill, he had commanded his share
of the cash assets from the assignees, and
they had refused to pay him unless he would,
release the bank from the whole of his claim,
and the bill prayed an account: Held, that

Oar English files contain a fhU account of
the loss of die steamer Hibernia, seven hun
dred miles from the Irish coast, heretofore
announced': def y by the cable:'
Certain p ssengers, who escaped in the
.Captain's ba t, say that at two o'clock on the
morning of uosday, the 24th nit, they were
awakened l • a crash. Some went to the
cabin, ana. he Captain met them',"arid as
sured them there was no danger. Having
confidence! him they went to bed. As the
Captain did: ot appear at breakfast however,
suspicion was awakened,. arid shortly after
wards he tdd them to’get ’ ready to go into
the life-boa t The crew meanwhile were
working at t! e pumps. The gale kept on in-
an the water in the ship gradually
rose. Whei first informed of the danger in
which they yere placed the passengers, -mani
fested some 1 excitement. They all felt dis
tressed, andthpse who could weep wept; but
as the day yore on the excitement gradually
subsided, aid during the night of Tuesday, it
had altogether disappeared. All were per
fectly, qniet that night,, and one or two even
Blept Tfiejj all had - confidence in Captain
(as so collected, and managed so
qdently came into the cabin and
spoke a eheimg word tq everybody. About
four o’clock* on Wednesday morning it was
determined mat the boats should be launched.
Owing to thi high seas this work was accom
plished witli some difficulty, bnt fortunately
they were ill got down at last Previous
to launching No. 1 boat the Captain came
to the cabiri and told the ladies to Come on
deer. The water was then ankle deep in' the
saloon. All the lady cabin passengers went
to the front of the vessel There was no hur
rying and crushing. The boats were filled in
the most orderly way, each, when it had re
ceived its complement, shoving off to give
placfc to the next boat One old woman stur
dily refused to leave the ship, being'deter-
mintd not to leave her husband, bnt she was
put »n board of the life-boat by force. She
Bcreimed lomlly while being let down into
the loat. When the lost passenger had been
got effi Captain Munro,-with the chief engi
neer, came off in the last boat The passen-
I era ffesoribe the capsizing of one boat and
lie labor of the crew in the Captain’s boat in
bailing oat the water under the enconrage-
ment.of .the Captain. At half-past seven on
Wednesday night there was a great cry of “A
sail, asaU !” The Captain ordered lights to
be put np, and told all tile passengers to
shonli for their Eves. All shouted lustily, and
an answer was returned from the Star of Hope.
Mn Cocks, of San Francisco, and his moth
er, Mrs. Cocks, Who were cabin passengers
in the Hibernia, and who arrived in Leith on
Tuesday afternoon in the Star, of Hope, fnfi-
hish the following statement: “The weath
er on Tuesday, the 24th, was very, stormy;
and a high sea was ronning. When it was
found that there was no hope of saving the
ive boats were launched, and filled
with the passengers and crew, under the su
perintendence of the captain, who tlirough-
ont displayed the greatest coolness and in
trepidity. The whole of the passengers felt
fully persuaded that had it not been for the
coolness and bravery of the captain, who was
the last to leave the ship, they would have
lost their Eves. The five boats, had only left
the'sliip about, fifteen minutes when she went

Mr. Johnson was instructed to have’ these
speedily acted upon, and to submit toe result
of his conference to toe State Department at
as early a day as practicable, and now there
is reason to beEev.e that toe points of differ
ence have been so determined as to insnre a
prompt ratification of the treaty by the United
States Senate, to which- body the adminisjxa-
tion expects to submit toe matter some time
in the coming month.
Several Radical members of Congress have
unhesitatingly given their approval of toe
amnesty proclamation; and legislation in:
Congress is suggested in consonance with
toe spirit of that document. Senator Perry,
it is said, will at on early, day introduce a hill ,
fox toe purpose of remqying aE disabiEties
whatever from' persons who participated in
toe rebelEon. Of conrse, as compensatory
for this magnanimity, a universal suffrage
amendment, and, in some instances, impar

BUTLER AS SHARP AS EVER.
To show what Butler means in finance; be
writes as follows: ’ T"
I propose to make the income tax on the
bonds ten per cent, and why? Because they
paid rio tax, State or municipal, and I thought
that taxation shonld be equaled. The’ howl
of repudiation, dishonesty, swindling, was
raised at once, and wherefqr? I had only
proposed to donble toe present income tax
on the bonds. Congress had before tfebled
it, and not a word is said against the right or
propriety of so doing. Again, resorting to
the “rule of three,” if doubling the tax is
dishonest, repudiation arid swindling, what
crime was treblirig toe same tax ? Bnt when
I proposed doubEng toe income tax only, how
.the rascals howled repudiation! Yet;never
a word when Congress trebled ‘ it What,
then, was toe reason? Because tori ras
cals did not care a copper for any income
tax which only taxed the conscierice -of
toe holder of the bond. They laughed at
the net which only, caught gudgeons; bnt
I determined not to be cheated, and therefore
proposed to have my income coEected by the
Treasurer by withholding it frbm the coupon
when he was caUed upon to pay toe interest
upon toe bond. That made everybody pay
eqnaBy; none would escape toeri. .How the
rascals shrieked and j^Bed in agony abont
repudiation and dishonesty. Then the Ham
Words and gold gamblers were in travail for
a candidate against me. Then Dana:was put ■
on toe course. . Then Hawley and Curtis
wrote. Then Kilpatrick and- every other
scoundrel prated throughout tori district, and
ie Advertiser, Springfield Republican, and
ew York Times lavishly launched leaden
pllets against riiyself and constituents. But
1 vain. The.income tax, honestly coEected,
d it conld not have been evaded, would
We given upward of $13,000,000 where we
do'pot grit $1,000,000 now. How inany snch
candidates, newspapers, orators, and praters,
i had interfering in -theafiuirs of toe fifth

mmS GUANO DIFFERS from PERUVIAN GUANO
X simply in the RELATIVE PROPORTION of the
SAME elements of fertility.
Its use during the past four years for the cultnre of
COTTON and corn, has given fo'it a ctauactoj- for
standard excellence unsurpassed by genuine Peruvian
Guano, and when seasons of drought intervene, it
produces a large increase of crope. .
The price at which this Guano 1b placed is. so much
below that of Peruvian Guano as to constitute it an
object of material importance to Southern agriculture.
The large capital and resources of the Company ena
ble it to furnish a Guano of jthe highest value at the
lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest in
terest of the Company is recognized in this policy. .
The Company looks to large sales, small,profits and
a permanent business fbr compensation on capital
invested. *'* *'* ~
D. St. Julian Raven el, of South Carolina, is Scien-
tific'Director of the Company, which affords' a. sure
guarantee of the continued excellence of the Guano.
