De 23. 18(58 Union—Liberty—J list ice. th.ii, . • - ■ - This is a Republic where the Will of the People is the Law of the Land. [U. S. Grant. “Watch over the preservation of the Union with zealous eye,-and indignantly Jrown upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the. Country from the rent, or to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link together the various parts.' I ' — Wasiiixutox’s Farewell Address. The Sheriff of Warren County. A few days since we published an extract from a private letter written at Warrenton, Ga., giving an account of a dastardly attempt to assassinate Mr. Chap Nouris, Sheriff of Warren county. We also stated the notorious fact that Sheriff Nonius was and is a Republican. It now suits the conve venience of the Chronicle it Sentinel to deny that he is a Republican. The facts are that Sheriff Norris was nominated mid elected as a Republi can, and the Clipper, the Democratic paper of Warrenton, used all its influ ence to prevent his giving his official bond; and when he did give it, de nounced each of his sureties—all be cause of Nonius’ Republicanism. More than this, he came near being mobbed during the campaign, for coming into a Democratic crowd on the Court House square, and attempt ing to summon jurors, while the edi tor of the Chronicle Sentinel was speaking; and the aforesaid editor came home and wrote an editorial, in which he denounced Mr. Norris as the Radical or scalawag .Sheriff of the county, and commended the spirit of the Democrats for not laying vio lent hands on him. The readers of that paper doubtless remember the in cident. Yet the same paper declares that there was only “oxi:” Republican Sheriff elected in the State. We do not refer to this matter for political effect, but only to vindicate our own former statement. Having controverted the Chronicle Jrom its own columns, we are content to let the matter rest. Mr. Edmunds' Bill. For the information of our readers we print the following summary of the Edmunds, Bill, which it is re ported tlie Senate Judiciary Commit tee will report favorable “with amend ments.” We infer these amendments are a compromise of the difference be tween Gov. Bullock and Mr. Aker- MAN: It premises that the Legislature of Georgia uas viouiieu iiie fourteenth amendment hy >•<?- fusing to purge itself of members, and lias, in rWwfon, ootli of the Constitution »mi of the fundamental principles upon which Congress consented to the restoration aforesaid, expelled a laree number of its regularly qualified members on the sole ground that they were persons of African blood, and that "the local authorities of the State appear to be wholly unable or unwill ing to protect tie lives, liberty, and property of its peaceful and unoffending citizens from lawless violence, and refrained purposely, or from want of power, from bringing such offenders to justice. The preamble, there fore, declares that it fully appears that the people of the State of Georgia have not com plies! with the terms or conformed to the principles upon which its restoration was provided for, and that the Government there in is not in tact republican or regular, and the bill provides that so much of the act passed June 25, 1868. as relates to the Stale of Georgia lie repealed; that the military Government heretofore provided by law be revival, subject only to limitations now pre scribed ; that the Government organized under the new constitution of Georgia shall continue in operation during the pleasure of Congress as provisional only, and the ex pulsion of African members 'shall be consid ered null and void, the expelled members shall resume their seats, their successors va cating the same, and no person shall be a member of the Legislature, or hold office under the provisional government, who is ineligible by the terms of the fourteenth amendment. It is further provided that the Circuit and District Courts of the United States shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the Courts under said provisional government of all offences ami torts; but such United States Courts shall not proceed therein unless the liarties injured, or some one on his behalf, when his evidence cannot reasonably be ob tained, shall make oath before a Judge or commissioner that justice cannot be obtained in said provisional Court. finally, it is made the duty of the Presi dent to cause to lie stationed in said States such part of the land and naval forces of the United States as shall be sufficient to carry the foregoing provisions into effect. The conduct of A. Oakey Hai.e, the new Mayor of New York city, a few nights since, was disgraceful. He presided at a Fenian meeting, and when a vote of thanks to the orator of the evening was projmsed, he cried out, “ Now, if there is any English man in the house that wants to vote ' no,’ there is u station lionse very near him” 3uch language in the mouth ol the Mayor of a great city is •extremely scandalous. There are over 00,000 Englishmen citizens of New York. Miscellaneous Editorial Items. On the Kith instant, the Mayor of Montreal, Canada, entertained Hoback Griily, the white-coated philosopher of the THAwnr. In n speech delivered on the occasion, Mr. Greei.y remarked that but for the one misfortune of wanting to be President, Daniel Webster would have been the great est man America ever produced. He also said that Chief Justice Chase had the disease, and that a man once afflicted with it never recovered citing the case of General Cass, who died at eighty-two, still hankering for that high office. Mr, G. expressed the warmest sentiments of friendship for the Canadas. The New York Sun is curious to know whether the Canadian authori ties will take any notice of the lynch ing, at Seymour, Indiana, of the ex press robbers, Reno and Anderson, Canadians delivered to the United States authorities on a requisition from the President, under the Ash burton treaty, to be legally tried for the offence of which they stood charged. They were not so tried, bnt were executed by a mob. Will the authorities of Canada inquire into the matter or not ? A Washington broker being in formed thaf the late Baron Roth cnli.DS left a fortune of four hundred millions, exclaimed, “he must a had a good district.” “What do you mean?” inquired a customer. “ I mean a good district, as no man could make so much money unless he was a w hiskey inspector.” ♦ The Board ot Education, of Canton, Ohio, have recently pro hibited all religious exercises whatso ever in the public schools of that town* The Protestant clergymen have ad dressed a memorial asking that the rule be rescinded, and only asked the reading of a chapter in the New Test ament, and the repetition of the Lord’s I’raycr. The question seems not-yet to be settled. Matilda Herron, having grown so obese as to forbid her appearance in her present role of Camille, announces that she will lecture this winter on “The Stage Once, Now and Here after.” Hon. Amos T. Akerman, of Gcor. gia, has been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. - - < The Resignation of the Conservative . Government. The Loudon Times prints, by re quest of Mr. Disraeli, the following circular: If Parliament wer<A sitting 1 should not have adopted this course; but us the public acts of a Ministry should not be misunder stood, ami as tliere are no other means of explaining their motives, 1 have taken tfie liberty of thus addressing the Conservative members inlioth Houses of Parliament. When Her Majesty's Government, in the Spring of the year, were placed in a minority in the House of Commons on the question of Disestablishing the Church in Ireland, they had to consider that the policy proposed had never been submitted to the country, and they believed that the country would not sanction it. They therefore felt it their duty to advise Her Majesty to dissolve I’arliaincnt • but to make an appeal to the obsolete constituency would have been an absurdity, and the candid opinion of the country coincided with th»' Parliament, that no oo»r-»«n«M oc satifac tor.y uuArw the voices of the enlarged electo ral body were ascertained. Ail means were, therefore, taken by the Ministry to expedite that appeal, and a special statute was passed for the purpose. Although the general election lias elicited, in the decision of numerous and vast consti tuencies, an expression of feeling which, in a remarkable degree, lias justified their antici pations, and which, in dealing with the question in controversy, no wise statesman would disregard, it is now clear that the pre sent Administration cannot expect to com mand the confidence of the newly-elected House of Commons. Under these circumstances, Iler Majesty’s Ministers have felt it due to their honor, and to the policy they support, not to retain office unnecessarily for a single day. They hold it to be more consistent with the attitude they have assumed, and with the convenience of public businessat this season, as well as more conducive to the just influence of the con servative party, at once to tender the resig nation of their offices to Her Majesty, rather than to wait for the assembling of a Parlia ment in "which, in the present aspect of affairs, they are sensibk? they must lie in a minority. In thus acting, Her Majesty’s Government have seen no cause to modify" those opinions upon which they deemed it their duty to found their counsel to the Sovereign on the question of the disestablishment and disen dowment of the Church. They remain con vinced that the proposition of Mr. Gladstone is wrong in principle, probably impracticable in conduct, and, if practicable, would be dis astrous in its effects. While ready at all times to give a fair con sideration and willing aid to any plan for the improvement of the Church in Ireland, to the policy which they opposed last session, rife, as they believe it"lb be, with many calamities to society and the State, they will continue in whatever position they occupy, to offer an uncompromising resistance. B. Disraeli. Downing-Street, Dec. 2,1868. —lt is stated that in one of the late actions near Neegata, Japanese “Tommy,” who attracted so much attention from the American ladies in the days of the embassy, was killed. He was shot through the breast and leg, but died fighting for his chief, true to the Pakugawa clan. —The Charleston JYeuw says that the solid wealth of the State of South Carolina has been increasing steadily since the end of the war, and at the close of the present year wc should have in the whole State an amount of money at least equal to our banking capital eight years ago. —Richard 11. Dana, Jr., has brought suit, laying damages at $5,000, against the Mayor and Aidermen of Cam bridge far striking his name off the registry list, and thereby depriving him of his vote at the last election. From the Atlanta Constitution Decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Delivered at Atlanta, Dec. 15, 1888. * ~. • i P. W. O. Lazenby, administrator, etc., ( us. .lame* R. Wilson—Complaint ( from Columbia. Warner, J.—When a cause lias been tried before a j u.iy, involving the value of Confederate money, under the ordi- ( nance of the Convention, and a verdict i rendered in favor of the plaintiff’, and ' there being evidence in the record to support the verdict, and no error al leged to the charge of the court, such verdict will not be set aside and a new* trial ordered by this court, unless the same is manifestly contrary to law and the principles of equity the more es pecially as the presiding judge before whom the case was tried is satisfied w ith the verdict. Judgment affirmed. E. 11. Pottle, by L. Stephens, for plaintiff in error. A. R. Wright by the reporter, for defendant in error. Benjamin F. Simms vs. Southern Ex press Company—Assumpsit—From Richmond. Warner, J.—From the facts pre sented by the record in this case, this court will not control the discretion of the court before in granting a new trial. 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 place where the contract was made,” according to the evidence presented by the record.— The charge of the court should be based upon the evidence before the court and jury and not upon an as sumed state of facts not proved. Judgment affirmed. Rarnes and Cumming for plaintiff in error. W. T. Gould for defendant in error. James T. Roberts vs. James Mans field. Assumpsit from Mitchell. McCay, J.—When A is the owner of two promissory notes, due at dif ferent times, and of a mortgage on real estate securing them, and trans fers one of the notes to B, entering at the same time into a written contract that he will, in a specified time, trans fer to B and his assignees the mort gage to secure the note, and B transfers the note and agreement (the note being still not due), to C, and A afterwards refuses to transfer the mortgage except upon conditions, whicli C is not bound to accept, A has still the legal title to the mortgage, but holds it for C’s use, and if, by the use of that mortgage, he collects from the property mortgaged money suffi cient to discharge C’s note, C may sue for and recover the same from A. Judgment reversed. R. F. Lyon, 8. D. Irwin for plaintiff in error. Vason & Davis for defendant in error. Bank of Commerce vs. Barrett, Car ter & Co. Complaint from Rich mond. McCay, J.—The fact that the con sideration of a note is set forth on its face does not carry with it notice of the failure of consideration, if it has failed, to a person taking it bona fide, nor is he in such a case, ipso facto, put upon inquiry, and bound to inquire if the consideration has or has not failed. Judgment reversed. Barnes & Cumming for plaintiff in error. W. T. Gould for defendant in error. Pinny & Johnson vs. Robert J. Bowe anil Isaac Levy. uuie, etc., rwcomona. Brown, C. J.—While the statute known as the stay-law was considered in force, the plaintiff in fi. fa. notified the Sheriff that the judgment was re covered against the defendant as bailee, which was one of the excepted cases in the statute —to which it did not apply—and directed him to pro ceed to make the money by levy. He refused to do so, and, in response to a rule, claimed that he was not bound to levy under the notice; because the fi. fa. did not show on its face that the case was within the exception. This was not a legal excuse. He should have made the levy under the notice and left the defendant to his affidavit of illegality or other proper remedy, if the facts were not as stated in. the notice, and havipg failed to proceed w ith die fi. fa. he is liable. Judgment reversed. Frank H. Miller by W. Hope Hull for plaintiffs in error. Hook and Carr for defendant in error. A Plain Cass. —Think of twelve innocent looking gentlemen in a box in Smith county, Texas, listening with wide-open eyes to the following charge: “If the jury believe, in die evidence, that the plaintiff and defendant were partners in the grocery, and that the plaintiff bought out the defendant, and save his note for the interest, and the efendant paid for the note by deliv ering to the plaintiff a cow, which he warranted not breachy, and the war rant was broken by reason of the breachiness of the cow, and he drove her back and tendered her to the de fendant, but he refused to receive her, and the plaintiff took her home again and put a heavy yoke on her to pre vent her from jumping fences, and by reason of the yoke she broke her neck mid died ; and if the jury further be lieve that the defendant's interest in the grocery was worth anything, the plaintiff’s note was worthless, and the cow good for nothing, either for beef or milk, then the jury must find out themselves how they will decide the cane; for the Court, if she under stands herself—-and she thinks she does—don’t know how such a case should be decided.’’ 'flic verdict was “yes,” and »otli parties appealed. —There are 540 secret political po licemen in Paris. Th* Arknaau Trouble*. Hie biibjoiuca extract from a pri-' vale letter just received from Des Arc by a business firm in Memphis, con tains, among other facts already given in the Avalanche, much relative to the troubles in that State that is quite interesting.

The militia are quartcrtxl on the citizens in Woodruff. White and Jackson counties, and arc robbing everybody; and unless something is done by the L nited States Government the State of Arkansas is gone to the dogs. Business is almost entirely sus pended at Augusta, and so-called Brigadier General Upham, of the Arkansas State mi litia, makes all steamboats report to him, and docs not allow any freight or passengers to be received or discharged without his special order. And he issues orders to boats not to land anywhere without his permission.— Verily, fie acts the monarch right royally. He has pressed every shot gun and all the ixjwder and shot in the community, not leaving even a canister in the hands of a merchant. He took from Messrs. J. Simmons A Co., a fine carpet (110 yards) to carpet his head quarters; and from the same houses. ten barrels flour, thirty pairs boots, five cases boots and shoes, coats, pants, etc., <tdUbiium. From Messrs. J. C. Berry A Co., he took ten bedsteads, mattresses, bed clothing, etc. From the shoemaker there (Augusta) lie took thirty-six pairs boots. From Messrs. Vaughn & Whitcomb, ten barrels flour and all their powder and shot. From Hamilton & Penn, two hundred shotguns and all their ammu nition. Upham went to a private house and captured a fine gun costing one hundred and fifty dollars. From another house he seized five sacks coffee, live barrels flour, sugar, molasses, find all the powder and shot. J. M. McCurdy lias also suffered heavily. Golders & Co., received an order just before I left to furnish two hundred and fifty pairs bools and shoes. They have seized some fifteen or twenty horses, robbed the farmers of corn, etc., killed ail the hogs in the vicinity, and arrested many of the best citi zens, and kept them in custody for hours, then turning them loose without explana tion. Everybody who could get away has left Brownlow’s thieves are lamns compared with these scoundrels. God only knows what will become of us if the United States Govern ment does not interfere. [Memphis Avalanche, 17th. Memphis, December 17.—The Appeals Duvall’s Bluff, Arkansas, special, this after noon says that when the Evening Star left Augusta, yesterday evening, some firing on pickets occurred in the morning, in which one picket was killed and another wounded.
