The City Hall of Stsrkville literal-
bristled and glittered with a luxu-
of beauty and chivalry on the
night of the first. A liat of the ladies
attendance has been given me. 1
cannot, in an ordinary communica
tion, be expected to tind space t<>
number the stars that are tented on
the fields of night or the sand-grains
which listen to the music of the surg
ing sea; I cannot number the leaves
Yalanibroza, the flowers in Tempo
the fragrant odors of cashmere.—
Equally impossible would lie the at-
tempt to give a census of this great
concourse with a schedule ot their
merits and attractions. The spacious
room was instinct witli cotillions.—
Dancing feet were as numerous “as
blackberries in June.” At one point
Mrs. I’, dispensed music from the
piano, and at another the skillful
Chokee string band made the air vi
brate with rapturous melodies. It
was an occasion “long to lie remem
bered, and never to be forgotten." It
were easier to tell who were not there
than who were. There were no wall
flowers there. Dancing was conta
gious, and even the old people, as
they rose to walk from one point to
another, caught the infection and
tripped as gracefully as young fawns.
They even scanned when they talked
and made all their gestures in unison
witli the concord of sweet sounds.
Seriously it was one of the largest as
semblies and most pleasurable occa
sions in the history of l.ee coun-
Messrs. J. F. Deas and Ed. Floyd
rendered themselves especially ser
viceable to the ladies. It is pri'ate-
snspected that Mr. Floyd is mak
ing no very unfavorable impression
with the fair Six of Lee.
On the same night a dance was giv
en at the Callaway house here, and a
children's candy-snatching at the res
idence of Mr. S. II. King. The Cal
laway dance was also a success: but
as I have been furnished with no
notes I cannot give even n hint of the
programme. The Callaways don't
make failures. I'm a Caljawavist.
Last night the young folks danced
at the hospitable residence of our
prightly end genial friend, Mr. .1. S.
reman.
The churches will have to affix tc-
vere penalties to the Tcrpsichorenn
amusement before it can be stopped.
Church members ought never to
dance only when they step, bare
footed, on a coal of Arc; then they
can generally dance without much
music.
Mr. James II. Spence, a bran new
lawyer, and a young man of pronvse,
has come from Camilla and settled
here. We give him the right-hand
of fellowship and wish for him a
prosperous work and a fruitful har
vest.
There is a matrimonial mania
among the cullud pussons here. I
am authorized by law to perform tin-
ceremony; and the fee I charge is a
fat possum or a young coon. I am
not likely to starve while the distem
per rages.
Backbones and sparcribs arc get
ting ripe. By the way, Garcclon h ,s
backbone; he is very severely verte
brated, and Blaine and Maine and all
they contain are finding it out. Gar
eclon may consider himself respect
fully invited to the next Callaway
hop. The ladies will sinile on him
and dance him, and the gentlemen
will fiddle him and feed him.
Our intelligent, energetic and emi
nently useful circuit rider, Mr. L. II.
Green, has left us for Ilomersville.
He carries with him the hearts of the
people he lias left. X.

Landlord and Tenant.
Notes from Ty Ty.
Tv Tv, Ga., Jan. 9lli, 1880.
The old year, with its joys and sor
rows, having passed away, and n new
year bringing hopes of n brighter til
tore having been ushered in, we, with
thousands of others, fellow-travelers
through this vale of tears, have turn
cd a new leaf, and placed upon
cord brave resolves, and have bad
our altar fires kindled with fresli
hopes, earnest and new desires, and
can again smilingly look to tlie future
tor a better day.
Notwithstanding this year will no
doubt be rite with political strif
demagogues, recking with politic:,
knavery, sectional animosity, and I.
ired of our fair land, will rave ov
the whole country; still, we of tl>
section will enjoy comparative quic
being so far removed from any of the
centres of iiitrignerv and Galileo-like,
we will movu along our peaceful
aem-iia Recorder.]
Of general importance, is the rela
tion of landlord and tenant. When
does that relation exist ? When the
owner of lands or houses grants to
another simply the right to possess
and enjoy the use of the same either
for a fixed time, say for one or more
. cars, or at the will of the owner,
and the tenant accepts the terms of
the grant, then the relation of tenant
and landlord exists.
The landlord lias the right to pre
vent the tenant from committing
astc on the premises rented, such
as cutting timber except for firewood ;
also tlie right to prevent him from
moving permanent fixtures from the
premises. The landlord has the right
to the possession of the premises af
ter the term for which the same was
rented lias expired, and it the tenant
ill not surrender tlie possession
the property, he lias a right to a sum
mary remedy. The tenant cannot
dispute the property while in posses
sion, nor pay tlie rent to a third party.
He lias the right to distrain or levy
tor rent when tlie same is due or be
fore the same is due, if the tenant is
removing or seeking to remove the
crop or any part of it from the prem
ises rented without the consent of ilie
landlord ; and all the landlord has to
do to have a distress warrant issued
is to go before a Justice of tlie Peace
and make oath in writing that the
tenant is still indebted to him in tlie
uni of so many dollars for rent,
•vliich is due and unpaid, and the
Justice will issue a distress warrant,
which is in the nature of ail execu
tion. and can have a sufficiency of the
property sold to pay the rent claim.
Ic is allowed interest on the claim
for rent from the time the rent is due.
l'he tenant cannot defeat the collec
tion of the rent hv claiming a lioine-
tcad on the crop raised on the rent
ed premises; yet lie can homestead
on every other property lie owns,
provided lie lias not waived ills right
to a homestead in said property. A
landlord has no more legal claim on
other property of the tenant, outside
the crop, than any other judgment
creditor.
Tlie landlord must keep the premi
ses in repair, and is liable for all sub
stantial improvements put upon them
by bis consent, whether the snme is
lone by tenant or third party.
The landlord has a lien tor rent on
the crops ot the tenant which is su
perior to all other liens, except liens
for taxes. lie lias also a lien upon
the crops of the tenant for stock,
farming utensils and provisions fur
nished. The law which compelled
this class of laws to he in writing has
been abolished. This law can he en-
foiccd by appealing before a Justice
of the Peace, anti swearing that the
tenant is indebted for siipjilics fur
nished him to make a crop, that, tlie
aniount claimed is due, anil that after
il becomes due, a demand was made
upon the tenant, ami that In- refused
to pay ; tlie affidavit is made within
twelve mouths after the amount
claimed became duo, whereupon tin
Justice will issue an execution against
the tenant. The lundluril lias llic
^lit to collect the rent of his house,
although it burns down the day alter
it is rented liy the tenant, or it n
storm blows it into fragments, tlm
tenant is liable for the whole lime
for which it was rented, yet if the
loss or destruction of the property
was brought about by the landlord,
then tlie tenant will not be compelled
to pay rent for the whole period for
which the premises were rented.
»Thc tenant has the right to make
all necessary repairs on the premise
ami charge the same. In case ot
fences, when the landlord and ten
ant both know tlie condition of the
fences at the time the rout contract is
made, it is not obligatory upon the
landlord or tenant to repair them, or
to make them better, anil it the croi
is damaged by stock the damage i
shared together. Tlie tenant cannot
rent the premises to a third part;
without the consent of the owner »
the property. In case ot houses, tie
tenant can sue the landlord for any
>1 image caused his slock of goods or
furniture by a defect ill the root or
the building, il upon notice lliehind-
lord fails to repair the snme. The
tenant has tlie right to remove nil <1

soil of tin: landlord.
For many months past there has
been a fevorislicxrileincnt ill railroad
circles in Georgia. The purchase by
t’ol. li. W. Cole of a controlling share
in tin* W. & A. I!. II.. and bis connec
tions in the West lulling an out
let to the sen. put the public on tip
toe of expectation 'ind sum.iso ns to
what strong eonibiiinlions lie would
make to attain his cud. It was vari
ously thought IIml lie would use tlie
Ga. II. K. to Fort lt»val; would lease
the M. A- It. I>. I!, and complete it,
using Brunswick as his port. Tlie
wary President of the Central has,
however, had his ears and eyes open,
and was preparing to meet the oppos-
ing forces marshalling agniust him.
t\l a recent meeting of tlie stockhoh!-
jrs lie declared that liia policy was
one of iioii-inlcrferem-e, but that lie
was determined to protect the prop
erly in his charge to the utmost of
his power. 'Flic stockholders passed
a resolution giving him and his direc
tors power to make any combination
necessary to protect the road and its
interests. Tlie result of the whole
thing is the lease of the Central by
Cole and Company, whoever they
are. The terms, etc., arc given in the
extract below from the Savannah
News of the 7th. This is a bold
stroke of Wadlev’s, and, it seems to
us, a good one for the road and its
stockholders. It will doubtless, ton,
:i<lil greatly to the importance of Sa
vannah ami tin- commercial prosper
ity of the whole Slate.
The important conference of rail
road magnates to which reference
was made in yesterday’s News,
took place in tlie" morning, and re
sulted, as we predicted, in an ar
rangement which, it is confidently
believed, will be of incalculable ben
efit to Savannah, and establishes this
port as the exporting and iinportiu
depot of the great West. The con
tract entered into by Col. K. W. Cole,
representing the Nashville, Chatta
nooga anil St. Louis ICailronil, anil
cx-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, represent
ing the Western ami Atlantic Bail-
road. witli tlie Directors of the Geor
gia Central Bailroad, places all tin
lilies of the latter corporation mid
the ships of the Ocean Steaiusliiii
Company under the joint maiiage-
nient of "the two first named compa
nies, and thus is secured a through
line from St. Louis to New Vork via
Savannah. Tlie terms of this con
tract are that tlie new combination
guarantee six percent, dividend per
annum to the stockholders of the
Central Bead for the first-even year
the surplus profits over the dividend
being devoted exclusively anil entire
ly to the improvement of the road
ami branches, the substitution
teel rails tor iron, the erection of
rain elevators at the Central Bail-
oad wharves, and the building ot
two new steamships. After the sev
cn years there is a guarantee of sev
en per cent, divhlcud perpetually, or
as long ns the charter of the Central
Bailroad exists. The combination
are also responsible for all outstand-
bonds of I lie Central anil South
western Railroads, anil for their en
dorsements, and will meet tlie inter
est and pay the bonds as they mature
This arrangement makes Savannah
the great outlet for the West on the
South Atlantic coast, and we are in
formed that the schedule that will be
adopted will provide for tlie ruiiiiiti
ot through passenger trains from Si
Louis to Savannah in tliirtv-six hour
and that freight ill bulk will l>o trans
ported from the West to this por
within four days.
The arrangement lias, we are an
thorized to say, tlie unqualified ap
probation of Col. Wadlcy, who con
sidors it of great advantage lo Savan
nnli. It in no wise ntlerls the organ
ization of the Central, which remains
intact, and will he operated with tin:
-ame ability as has characterized it;

There is already close connection
by the several lines named between
Savannah and St, Louis, but the coin
plction of a road of one hundred
miles between Nashville and Evans
ville will make a continuous line
from this city to St. Louis, owned cn
tircly by tlie new combination. Col
Cole owns the charier for this road

Mvicrs Ict-s in general among llic
m inus. It is a hard thing to get ut.
a rule il is not proper to discuss
the private business of people, blit
there are certain points whereu thing
naturally lo public information.
The following items, picked up at
random limy serve to interest the
readers of the Constitution, and at the
same lime throw some light on a pro-
ssion that is one of tlie must impor
tant. It must be premised tlinl the
gures given below were not obtnin-
d from the parties themselves, but
e believed to lie accurate.
The lion. Benjamin Ii. Hill lias
made more money nt his profession,
without question, than any lawyer in
the State. Ills fee in the famous Met
calf ca-o is said to have been$140,000,
hut I understand that he received
only $r>0,(H)0. in rash. This was not
his largest tee, ns during tlie war, in
1802, when Confederate money was
good, he received over $100,000 in a
ase in East Tennessee. In the litiga
tion over the Kimball House lie re*
eived at first a part of tlie house,
(one-third interest, l believe) and
this was cashed upon Kimhull’s cn-
rance in the ownership. lie sold Ills
interest for $25,1X10 cash, which, witli
his rents for some time, represented
his fee. Mr. Hill lias made several
$10,000 fees, ami would to-day lie a
very ricli man hail lie not made enor

he has paid otF.
1 asked Judge T-oclirane what he
had nuulc in the practice of law, anil
lie replied:
More than my weight in solid
gold.”
The rich and picturesque vague
ness of this answer would have dis-
onraged most people. But we qui
tly weighed a $20 gold piece, found
that it weighed just an ounce; niulii
. lied by sixteen we had $320 as the
value of a pound of gold. Judge

The mere rumor of this arrange

Minted on the streets ill llic forenoon
had the etl'ect of giving a boom to

afternoon it was reported tlintashigl
ns eighty dollars had been oflered
and refused. In brief, It mav he as
sumed that Savannah’s prospects art-
now all Ilia* rail he desired, and Hint
the fuilli of our people in tlie till'
mate prosperity of the Central has
been well founded.
Tlie Woril “MoKoilont,"
tVhirli has already become a house
hold word, is derived from the
Greek, a ml composed of two word
Sozo and Odoutes. “Sozo” transln

server of the teeth. And il. is true to
its naiiic. It. heniititles and preserves
tlie teeth, hardens and invigorates the
gums, and corrects all impurities of

preparation is so delightful that il is
a luxury to apply it. It is as harm

eightv-two pounds,which at $3211 made
his value in solid gold $5,3,240. We
presented these figures to him, and lie
said that lie luid made four or live
times Unit much. We had no doubt
of this. At the close of the war lie
had nothing. Delias always been a
high liver and a man of generous
luibils. And yet lie pays taxes now
on $110,(XX) worth of Atlanta city
property, alone, and eligibly situated
and well rented. He made $53,000
in fees in the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad litigation. The parties rep-
cseutiiig the State in that raso as
'oniniissioners got, according to
Judge Loclirauc, $10,(XKJ. Judge
Loclirauc made a tee ot $24,(XX} ill
oiue lottery eases iu which lie rep
resented Simmons, Dickinson & Co.
The most lucrative special practice
perhaps over done by a Georgia law
yer for a short- time was by Judge
Loclirauc just nt tlie close of the war.
He had gone to Washington with
several lawyers, on the way to New
York. While in Washington Hie am
nesty proclamation was issued. It
was necessary for all men who were
worth over -’20,000 to make some sort
ot special application. Judge !.och
re nc quietly went to Attorney-Gene
ral Sneed, and asked him for tlie ex
act form in which these applications
should lie made. This schedule he
submitted to Secretary Seward and
hail il approved—and to President
Johnsod ami had it approved. He
then hurried back to Georgia and
opened an office at Macon for the
pardon business. Applications pour
ed iu upon him. His usual fee was
$5<X), but lie procured a great many
for nothing, and others for reduced
Iu a short time he went to
Washington, stayed a week or ten
lays, ami returned with 158 amnesty
papers. For these he collected $38,-
500. Judge l.ochranc is now attor
ney for the Piillinnii Palace Car Com
pany, at a salary, it is said, of $10,000
per annum. He takes special cases
outside of this, mid adds very matcri
ally to lii.s income.
There are not very many rich law
yers in tlie State, lint several who
have amassed comfortable fortunes.—
General Toombs made much of bis
money by his Texas land speculations,
but he is authority for the statement
that for year after year when lie de
voted himself to his practice his in
come from fees was over $20,000 per
annum. He lias made no very large
fees since the war that we know of,
except Ills fee from the State iu the
railroad cases, which will amount to
over $10,000, if he gets a reasonable
percentage. Iu the Dupree will case,
it is said that he and Mr. Hill got $10,-
(XX) apiece, but it is more probable
that it was $5,<XXI. Hon. A. IL Ste
phens has never pushed his practice
for Hie pay that was ill it, and lias
only taken special eases for many
years. The percentage on the sales
ot Ids books and his salary as Con-
grnssmnii give him many limes over
what his simple wants require; and
Imt for tlie huge amounts given to
charitable purposes lie would liavi
amassed a large fortune. It- is said
that General Henry B. Jackson has
just gained a case in Florida touch
ing the ownership of certain rail
roads in which his share of (lie amount
gained will he over $11X1,000, and it is
more than likely that the case will be
settled in a short time. Mr. Guer-
rard is said to have an interest, in this
decision, representing other bond
holders. that will yield him a fee of
about $10,(XX). ChI. Daniel S. Print-
up, of Rome, is tho only lawyer of

$5,1X1!) a year in Ices. It is noticeable
that whenevur !3up#rior Court Judge
nre wanted nt $2,0t)0a year tlie supply
xfeeds the demand.
The day of big fees is over. There
will lie few eases in tile next ten years
that will aflhrd more than $1,(XX) fees,
ami $250 will he an exceedingly good
average. The questions growing out
of the war h ive been settled; the
day* of big governmental claims are
passed ; the railroads have the most
of them settled into solid ownership
and an era of regular business has
come. The chances are, though, that
the incomes will ndvnncc in the fu
ture. With increasing confidence
there is increased business, and with
increased business there is increased
need of lawyers. A good average
lawyer can by giving Ids time lo ids
profession hope to gel from $2,(XXI t»
$l,tXX)a year. The very best lawyers
may get IVoiii $4,(XX) to $7,(XX). Then-
arc precious few that will make over
$10,000 a year.
Flush Times.
Judging from tho following tele-
grains it seems that tho west is on a
regular business boom. The truth is
the whole country is prosperous:
Denvkk, Col., January 2.—The re
views of tlie business milling i-pcra-
lions published here to-day show tlial
1871) lias been tlie most prosperous
year in Colorado’s history. The far
mers have had an unusually prosper
ous season, and the whole State lias
been bcnelittcd thereby. The income
of the State from its cattle shipments
exceeded $2,500,(XX). Seven million
pounds of wool were produced, to
gether with two nnd a quarter mil
lion bushels of wheat, and otln-r kinds
of grain in proportion. The total
product of the mines in the State was
$19,110,000 against $9,S2d.(XX) in 1.378.
Lake county alone shows increase of
nearly nine million dollars in mining
products over last year. The total
amount of ore from the Lcadvillc
mines treated by smelters was lii),-
000 tons, from which was renlizsd
bullion valued at $10,500,0<X) or hii
average of ninety-five dollars per
ton. Wlu-n to this is added the value
of oi-o on hand not yet reduced, the
grand total of ore taken from the
Leadville mines during Hie past veal-
will reach 122,000 tons, valued at $1L-
500,000.
St. laitns, December 31.—A con
densed statement of tlie increased
business in some of the leading ui-ti-
les of this year over last, compiled
from the official figures made up by
Secretnrv Morgan, of the Merchants'
Exchange, published in the Post-Dis
patch, shows the following among
the many favorable resnils and in
dications of prosperity : The increase
in tlie receipt of wheat over last year
was, in- round numbers, 1,300,000
bushels; corn, 14,00,0000 bushels;
oats, 10000,OIX); total receipts of all
kinds of grain, 45,000,000, an increase
of 10,(XX),000. Tlie receipts *>f cotton
since September 1, the beginning of
the cotton year, are 5.000 more Ilian
ail of the preceding year. The
amount of wheat shipped by river
for foreign exports, via New Or
leans, was 2,400,000 bushels, an iu-
rease over last year of over half a
million bushels. The amount of corn
by tlie same route was 3,000,000 bush
els, an increase of seven hundred
thousand bushels. Much more grain
would have gone down the river hut
for the unusual low water and short
age of tonnage during the past Fall.
Tho increase in the hardware busi
ness lias been 50 per cent., and tlie
increase in tlie wholesale dry goods
trade 25 per cent.; nominal increase
in tlie retail dry goods trade 35 per
cent.; nominal increase in tlie sad-
'lery business, 33 per cent.; increase
in tlie grocery business, 20 per cent.;
increase in tlie pig iron business,
150 pci- cent. The value of the build
ings erected is nearly doublo wlmt
it lias been for the foul- preceding
years. Tlie number of steamers ar
rived at this port was 2.349; canal
boats and barges 1,414: number of
steamers departed, 2,381; tons of
freight shipped by steamer, 670,245.

John Kelly’s Treachery to the
New York Democracy Ex
posed.
The New York Sun says: Notli-
g like a family quarrel to disclose
family secrets! Here are the Brook
lyn Republicans accussng each other
of treachery and bargaining with
tlie enemy in the late election, and
in the heat of the tight up rises cx-
lierifT Daggett, who is treasurer of
tlie Republican organization, and lie
discloses the details of a bargain witli
John Kelly by which the Republicans
avc seven thousand dollars to Mr.
Kelly, and Mr. Kelly kept Hie Inde
pendent Democratic ticket iu tlie
field. As this is a matter of interest
lo Mr. Kelly, we quote from a news
paper report ofMr. Daggett’s spceeli:
'That gentleman (Mr. Perry) en
tered into a bargain with .loliii Kel
ly under the terms of which he bound
Hie Campaign Committee to pay
$7,000 to keep the independent Dem
ocratic ticket in the field. He failed
to acquaint the other members of tlie
Committee either with the negotia
tions or consummation ol the bar
gain until a week before election,
when Kelly wanted to know how it
was that the agreement had not been
carried out, nud the money duly paid
over. That compelled Hic'Couiuiittci!
to raise money for the purpose of
keeping faith with Mr. Kelly, and
Hie result was a comparatively large
diversion of thcnlrcndy small amount
of money in the hands ot the Cam
paign Cotiimitti-c.”
These accusations were not denied :
on the contrary they were admitted
to l»e true. It was through such
treachery t« tlie Democratic party
that tho Republican Mtate ticket was
successful.
