Bid a Wedge or Gold Disrupt the Confederacy.
Money was quite as potent at Richmond
as at Washington. Lee always knew
what Grant was doing, and “received or-,
ders” as regularly as Meade or Rottled
Butler-S tan ton was often betrayed, and
important revelations were made at Rich
mond through Confederate gold. But
Federal wealth was lavished on Richmond
“traitors.” When the history of the war
is written, it will be found that Joe John
ston’s removal from command at Atlanta
was known at Washington before it was
announced in Atlanta. Federal gold, in
a bright, dazziug, sparkling stream, flowed
down from the Treasury at Washington,
and was only dammed up when Davis
stood in the channel through w hich Mr.
Stanton directed it. Davis, at least was
incorruptible; hut genius was bribed to
minister to his prejudices ; Johnston was
removed, and Sherman went “smashing
things to the sea.”
There is high authority for these state
ments, and were those who make them
misled, the very fact that the deposition
of Johnston from command is ascribed to
Federal gold, should induce gentlemen in
Congress not to forget its vast influence in
erushiug lbs rebellion. If a tithe of the
speeches made in the Confederate Con-<
gress on the subject of impunity were well
founded—Foote’s iuvcctives against Ben
jarnin, Northrop, Mallory and the rest, had
a shadow of justice—the potency of gold
in shaping results was hardly less than
that of superior strength ofiarmies. Time
worn politicians, partisans and life-long
office-holders, directed the destiuies of the
Confederation.—Memphis Bulletin.
PUBLIC LAWS.
The Duties rf Master.
hsec. 4. The master shall teach the
*p-
An Act to define the term “persons of color,’’ and prentice the business of husbandry, house
and to declare the rights of such persons.
Section 1. Be it enacted, <$«;., That all
negroes, mulattoes, mestizoes, and their
descendants having one-eighth negro or
African blood in their veins, shall be known
in this State as “persons of color.”
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That per*-
sons of color shall have tbe right to make
and enforce contracts, to sue, be sued, to
be parties and give evidence, to inherit, to
purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real
aud personal property, and to have full
and equal benefit of all laws aud proced-
ings for the security of person and estate,
and shall not be subjected to any other or
different punishment, pain, or penalty, for
the commission of any act or offence, than
such as are prescribed for white persons
committing like acts or offences.
Sec. 3. Repeals conflicting laws.
Approved 17th March, 1S66.
An Act to define aud regulate Court Contracts,
and prescribe the manner of enforciug the same
in the County Courts.
Section 1. Be it enacted, §c., That no
Court Contract hereafter executed in this
State shall bind any party who signs tbe
same by making his mark, unless said writ
ing in the attestation clause or elsewhere,
specify it was read over in the hearing of
such party. Provided, however, that this
section shall not apply where it is made,
plainly to appear, by direct and positive
evidence, that the party could easily read
ordinary writing for himself, or that the in
strument in question was in fact fully and
correctly read to him, at the time of its ex
ecution.
COURT CONTRACTS, m
Sec. 2. Beit further enacted, That any
written agreement for a term of service not
exceeding one year, or for the lease, rent
or occupation of lands or tenements, not ex
ceeding a like term, may, at the option of
the parties t
retaining a duplicate if they so desire. An
agreement thus liled shall be known as a
Court Contract, and shall have the force
and effect of a judgment, or decree for the
specific performance of its terms, both as
to the express stipulations and the plain
duties aud obligations resulting therefrom
by implication of law, provided that all is
sues of fact arising under a Court Con
tract by tho prtvisions of this act shall be
tried by a jury where either party de
mands it. Performance of these, stipula
tions, duties, and obligations may, from
day to day, and from time to time, be en
forced by the County Court by orders en
tered on the minutes for that purpose;
which orde s may be carried into effect by
attachment for contempt, or any other writ,
execution or process known to the law,
aud used iu any Court for affording redress
to parties or for maintaining its own au
thority and dignity. Damages for a
breach of such contract may be awarded
Ly similar orders, and payment thereof en
forced by like means, and at the election
of the party aggrieved, the contract may be
declared rescinded, and such party restor
ed to ids original situation as nearly as
possible. Any other order requisite to tbe
attainment ot substantial justice in the
particular case may also be passsed and
enforced ; tho Court always keeping in
view as cardinal points that each party is
to be compelled to perform his contract,
or to forfeit, for any material defanit, the
whole, or a part of its benefits, and in ad
dition thereto, to make full and fair com
pensation to the opposite party, for any
damage occasioned by a breach thereof.
In construing the contract, time is to be re
garded as of the essence of the same ; un
less rendered impossible by the act of God
or the act of law, whatever is stipulated to
bo done by either party, must be done at
the very time or times specified. At the
expiration of the term fixed by tbe con
tract, the relation established thereby
shall cease without notice to or from either
party. The power of the County Court,
by appropiiate orders to compel payments,
or to award and collect damages, or to
place the parties in their former situation,
shall nevertheless, continue subject only
to (he condition that any order for one or
more of these purposes shall be applied for
within two months after tbe expiration of
the time limited iu the contract for its full
and final performance. Breaches not thus
proceeded for, may be the subject of rogu
lar suit, or action, at any time within the
statutory period applicable to similar ac
tions on other contracts.
Sec. 3. Be il further enacted, That a
Court Contract may he set aside in the
County Court for fraud, by direct proceed
ing for that purpose, or it may be collater
ally impeached for fraud, either in tba^
Court or in any other.
Sec. 5. Beit further cnailcd, That the
remedy iu the County Court on Court Con
tracts, is not exclusive, but cumulative
only.
Approved 17th March, 1S6G.
service, or sotre other useful tiade or occn
palion, which shall be specified in the in
strument of apprenticeship ; shall furnish
him with wholesome food,suitable clothing,
and necessary medicine and medical at
tendance ; shall teach him habits of indus
try, honesty and morality; shall cause
biin to be taught to read English ; and
shall govern him with humanity-, using
only the same degree of force to compel
his obedience as a father may use with his
minor child.
Controversies Pending the Relation.
Sec. 5. In all controversies between the
master and his apprentice pending the ex
istence of the relatiou, the Judge of tbe
County Court, of the Ordinary, may ex
ercise jurisdiction, and on complaint of
either party, aud notice to the other, may
cause justice to be done iu a summary
manner. If tbe master be in default he
shall be fined at the discretion of the Court
not exceeding fifty dollars, and if the ap
prentice, the Court may order such correc
tion as the eircumstauecs may demand, not
extending to cruelty.
Dissolution of the Relation.
Sec. 6. By the consent of the parties,
the Judge ol' the County Court, or the Or
dinary, may dissolve the relation at any
time ; and on tbe death of tho master, the
said Judge or tho Ordinary may either
dissolve it, or substitute in place of the
deceased, his legal representativ»or some
member of his family, in which event, the
person substituted, by fifing a written ac
ceptaoce, shall thenceforth have all the
rights, and be bound for all the duties of
tbe original master. Dissolution by con
sent, or for the death of the master, shall
be subject to the sound discretion of the
Judge of the County Court, or of the Or
dinary ; as also shall be the selection of a
successor to the rpaster as above mention
ed ; but if no sucdlussor bo designated, and
Is is acceptance filed* within three months
parties be filed in the office of the
County Court, the parties, or either of them,! after the death of the master, theu the re
flate
An Act to alter aud amend the Laws of this
iu relation to apprentices.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, §c., That from and
after the passage of this Act, all minors
may, by whichever parent has the legal
control of them, be bound out as appren
tices to any respectable person, until they
attain the age of twenty one, or for a short
er period.
Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the Judge
of the County Court, or the Ordinary, to
biud out in like manner, all minors, whooc
parents are dead, or whose parents reside
out of the County, the profits of whose es
tate are insufficient for their support and
maintenance. Also, all minors whose pa
rents, from age, infirmity, or poverty, are
unable to support them.
Bee. 3. Indentures of Apprenticeship
shall be made in duplicate, aud witnessed
iu the same manner as deeds. The origi-
uul shall be kept by the master, and tbe
duplicate shall bellied and recorded either
in the office of the Judge of the County
Court, or iu the Ordinary’s office, amt it
Bitall not be necessary for the apprentice
to sign the same.
latiou shall no longer exist
►Sec. 7. The Judge of the County Court
or the Ordinary, may also dissolve tbe re
lation, at the instance of the master, for
gross misconduct in the apprentice ; or at
tbe instance of the apprentice, or any
friend of his, for cruelty iu the master, or
for failure to furnish food, clothing, medi
cine, or medical attendance, or for jeopar
dy of the good morals of the apprentice,
by reason of the raaster’6 depraved conduct.
Proceeds of Labor—Allowance to ap
prentices,
Sec. 8. To the master shall belong tbe
proceeds of' the apprentice’s labor ; but at
tbe expiration of his term of service a
faithful apprentice shall be entitled to a
small allowance from the %iaster, with
which to begin life ; the amount to be left,
in tho first instance, to the master’s gener
osity. If the master offer less than one
hundred dollars, the apprentice may de
cline it, and cite the master before the
Judge of the Comity Court or the Ordina-
r)*; and after hearing both parties and
their witnesses, if any, the said Judge or
the Ordinary shall fix the sum to be paid,
increasingor diminishing the amount offers
e.l, according to the merits of the appren
tice, the means of the master, and the
length and fidelity of the service.
Sec. 9. The master jhall have a right of

An AUrgory—"alstfeoad ar.d TralB.
YYhen Man was placed in the*Gaxilcn of Eden,
and held daily converse with his Crcr-tor, he re
ceived from and was impressed by Him with that
great source ot happiness and light—the spirit of
Truth. But there lurked without, with hateful
and malignaDt eye the demon of Falsehood; %vho,
when an auspicious moment presented itself, found
entrance into that blest, abode, and with smooth
tougue and artful and deceiving words, betrayed
Man into wrong and into sin. From that hour to
this, Falsehood and Tr+th have been sworn
enemies, and often Jo they meet and contend for
the mastery of the world; nor will the warfare
cease, until the shall mlllenium d.twu upon the
worid.
Falskhood, is even known by his bold, impa
tient, overbearing, dictatorial and cruel acts, when
he has much strength on his side, hut cowardly
and timid when cut off from his friends. Truth,
on the other hand, is bold at all times, patient,
laborious, investigating and ready to examine both
sides of a question wirk a fair aud candid eye,
and would persuade rather Ly reason, than by
force, appealing to right, rather than might.
Truth, one day journeying along as was his
custom, supporting himself with his staff Reason,
chanced to come up with Falsehood, who was
haranguing a multitude in the city of Wilful Ig
norance. No sooner did Falsehood see Truth ;«p-
proachiug, than lie began to assail him, and to put
his listeners on their guard against him. Truth,
who was the embodiment of true courage and
fearlessness, met him face to face and told him
that lie vva3 an ignorant, superstitious and know
ing deceiver ; a cunning sophist; and a falsifier
of facts. Falsehood appealed to his hearers to
stand by him; and cliarj^f’d^TirtRwith being an
enemy to progress, an enemy to true, religion, an
enemy to the age in which lie lived, and an enemy
to the world. Truth knocked him down with ids
staff Reason, but the multitude took the part of
Falsehood and compelled him to retire. False
hood laughed at his snccqps, :md cheered his
friends, and flaunted his bliu;k flag, Error, to the
breeze with malignant glee.
I go said Truth, but I shall return again, and
when I come, I will be stranger than I am now, I
will brijig with me my friends Time, Progress and
Fact. This is not the first time that yon have
tried to knock me down and keep me down
sneered Falsehood, but you see my friends are
too much for you. I know the character cf your
friends, and so long as you pander to their su
perstitions aud vices, they will ever endorse
yonr teachings, and it is only when you invoke
the aid of that cruel monster Power, that you can
trample me in the dust; hut as I am the child of
Immortality—I will ever rise, answered Truth.—
Yes, you have felt the hand of Power, and will
feel it for many long years to come, replied
Falsehood. Your friend Power, answered Truth,
like yourself, has ever been not only a 11 enemy to
me, but to progress, learning, freedom of thought,
science, art and all true and pure religion. Tho
world has been enslaved by you, but though I
travel not as fast as you, where I go, and am
heard, I am undermining your strength and re
sources. My friend, Free Press, is striking fast
and heavy blows at your right hand man, Power,
and soon you will find him retreating to the land
of Ignorance. Cast your eye over the map, un
answered Falsehood, and look at my possessions,
think you that I can be driven from those beau
tiful lauds. My march is ever onward, replied
Truth, and the day will come, when I shall
wrench them from yon grasp. Time, is my friend,
and he never fails of his ends, and ho will never
fail me. So far I have held my ow n, answered
Falsehood, when my lands were called the cradle
of civilization, I have seen the lights of Egypt,
Greece and Rome shine forth with a brilliant
brightness that threaten my destruction, hut they
went out in darkness, leaving me more powerful
than before. Your days are numbered, for with
the Bible as my greatest, besl and strongest friend,
I will redeem the world aud stay the hand of Ig
norance, and am throwing my glorious banner to
the breeze in every land and making millions to
rejoice, replied Truth.
But iook at your nakedness, snarled Falsehood,
go dress yourself. M3' nakedness 13 my glory,
replied Truth, for like those placed in the Garden
of Eden, their state was emblematical of the truth
of their Creator, and as thej - were deceived by
you, and put on tbe fig leaves of falsehood, I still
remained uncorrupted, and am known to this dry,
as Naked Truth.
A Rich Man who was not Ashamed
of ins Grandfather’s Business.—There
is in New York a gentleman of ample for
tune, which he received by inheritance,
and who has never inflicted upon himself
an occupation, except that of sensibly
spending and enjnying liis income. Not
withstanding this, he does not ignore his
plebian origin or aSVct aristocratic notions,
as his recent selection of a coat of arms
for a new carriage, at the earnest request
of his wife, will show. The lady, think
tug the«ld carriage unfashionable, got the
ready consent ot her husband lor a new
one, and was anxious that the “family”
coat-of-arms should be emblazoned on its
panels. This the husband consented to,
promising to sketch them out for the pain
ter when tbe vehicle was completed.
At that time the lady promptly’ present
ed herself for liis sketch of tho family
arms.
Taking a pen, the millionaire drew’
something resembling a small mound ; by
it was stuck a manure fork, and upon the
fork was perched chanticleer rampant.
“Why, what is this?” Asked madam in
amazement.
“This,” said tho man of money, is our
family coat-of-arms. My grandfather
made bis money carting his manure in
Brooklyn, and iu vested in real estate in
New York. Now listen to the explana
tion of the arms. This mound and fork
represent my grandfather’s occupation ;
the cock perched upon top of the fork repr
resents myself, who have done nothing but
flap my wings over his dunghill ever
since.”
It 16 ahno.-t unnecessary to state that
this decidedly original coat of arms was
never painted upou the millionaire’s car
riage, which has a plain panel to this date.
Good Anvicii.—At the la'e term of Troup Su
perior Court, referring to Confederate contracts.
Judge Warner advised parties to settle on a basis
of the value of gold and Confederate money—the
consideration of trade being also regarued—re
marking that no law was involved except the or
dinance of the Convention, and that three disin-
tored, intelligent men could arrange iIksc con
tracts better than most juries.
