W- F. BROWN & CO., Prop’rs (Successors to E. E. Brown & Son,) \V F. Brown. Geo. C. Brown I Supreme Court of Georgia. Thursday, May 9th. The Macon & Augusta Railroad Comps- ny vs.. Frank L. Little, executor. Re lief and Constitutional Law, from Hancock; and Jackson B. Johnson, administrator, vs. R. Stokes Sayre, et- al. Constitution al Law, from Hancosk. Montgomery, J: 1. That clause ot' ihe third para graph of the first section ol Article 2 of the C nstilutioii of Georgia, which provides that 4, ^io session of the General Assembly, after the sec mid under this Constitution, shall continue longer than forty days, un less prolonged by a vote of two- thirds of each branch thereof,” ap plies only to the Ge >eral Assembly which was to meet 4di.er the Slate government had been fully recon structed under the so called iccon- struction Acts of Congress, not to the Legislature of the provisional government organized under lliose Acts. 2. The Supreme Court of the United States have said, iu White vs. Hart, el. al., infra, “the action of Congress upoij the subject (the re construction measures) cannot be inquired into. The case is deadly one in which the judicial is bound to follow the action of the political department of the government, and is concluded by it.” While compelled to accept this dogma as law, and as perhaps true, in a limited degree, so tar as facts accomplished are concerned, as a general proposition L dissent from and protest against it. J. Under the leceul decision ol the Supreme Court ot the United Stales in the case of Will am White vs. J - tin ii. Hart, and Wm. D. Da vis, decided December term, 1871, we aie compelled to hold, that the reconstructed provisional govern ment of Georgia did riot expire be fore June 12, 1S70, when Congress enacted that the State of Georgia having complied with the reconstruc- t on acts, and the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments to the Con.-titu- t on of the United States having Been lalified in good faith by a leg;d Le gislature of said Slate, it is hereby declared iliut the State of Georgia is entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States.” Upon the admission of her Senators and Representatives under that act, says the Court, “the condonation by the national government became complete.” The conclusion to our minds is inevitable, that up to the passage of that act, at least, the pro visional government provided for by the act of March 2, 1667, still ex isted. 4. It follows that the session ot the Legislature of 1570, which pass ed the Act of October 13th, of that year, was not a session of the Gen eral Assembly, after the second un der the Constitution in the sense in which the Convention of 186S used these words. Hence the act under review is not invalid because passed by the Legislature more than forty days after the commencement of its session. 5. It is at least doubtful whether the first four sections of the Relief Act of October 13th, 1870, prospect ive in their operations a3 sound tules of construction require them to be understood, so far impair the reme dy of contracts made prior to June, 1865, as to be unconstitutional un der the tenth section of the first Ar ticle of the Constitution of the U. S. It is therefore the duty of the Court to refuse to declare them unconsti tutional. 6. The first four sections ot the Relief Act of October 13th, JS70, must be read in the light of the title to that Act, and in so far as they are not variant from it, they do not vio late the 5th paragtaph of the 4th section of article 3 of the Constitu tion of Georgia, and to that extent the Court should give them effect. Therefore, in all suits pending at the time of the passage of the Act, for debts founded on contracts made prior to June, 1SG5, the taxes must have been paid, and the affidavit filed within six months after the Act parsed ; and in all suits commenced after its passage, at the time of filing the writ, on pain of having the case dismissed on failure to do so. 7. If Congress, or a State Legis lature pass a law, within the gener al scope of their constitutional pow er, the Courts cannot pronounce it void merely because, in their judg ment, it is contrary to the principles of natural justice. Calder vs. Bull, 3, Dallas 399. S. A bill of interpleader being fil ed bv an administrator against the creditors of an estate represented by him, whose claims are antagonistic, and some of the claims being found ed on contracts entered into before June, 1865, it is not necessary for creditors bolding such claims to file an affidavit of the payment ot taxes with their answers, their claims hav ing been brought into court by the administrator anti not by thrmselves. On the trial of the case, however, they should make it clearl> appear that the taxes have been paid to en title them to a decree for the pay ment of the claims. 9. Subscriptions to the st«H k oj the Macon and Augusta Railroad Company, made bef.ee June, 1S65. stand upon the same tomiug with other debts contracted before that date; and iu suits ugaiu.-l the sub scribers lor the amount <H their sub scription, the payment of taxes and the filing of the affidavit, as requited by the Relief Act of 1S70, is neces sary. Judgment in the case of The Ma- onn and Augusta Railroad Company vs. Frank L. Little, Executor, af firmed. Judgment reversed in the case of Jackson B. Johuson, Administrator, vs. R. Stokes Sayre, on the ground that the creditors holding claims foutt ded on contracts made before June, 1S65, should have proved pay ment of taxes on those claims to cn title them to a decree Kir the pay ment of the claims.

Is I be persecution of the people of South Carolina never to stop? Are the political exigencies of Gen Gram and Gov. Scott of such nature that the State where Radicalism has most triumphantly asserted itself, must be kept in order by military terror ism supplemented by down right murder i Ever since United States Marshal Johnson w'as super seded in his office by ex-Coiigress- man Wallace, the Federal troops have been kept active in securing the seven counties placed under rnatlial law, and have arrested large numbers of persons ami dragged them off to places remote from their homes for imprisonment and trial.— These unhappy people, principally farmers and planters in Laurens, Newberry, Spartanburg, and Union counties, are daily being seized ami carried off', says tlie Charleston News, “ on ait sorts of charges ranging over years of time, and their families are left to the tender mercies of a few who are not yet arrested, hut who live in constant fear. No crops or any hope of any. Starvation and misery alike to the mother ami the babe, appear to be in lire near future for thousands of the persecuted cit izens of the upper counties.” In Spartanburg the troops are riding over the country night and day, making arrests everywhere.— •Oiil men of eighty and ninety years,’ writes a merchant, ‘some even on crutches, are brought and lodged in jail. Some of these old men, 1 feel satisfied, have not been away from their homes at night ‘for twenty years.’ What wonder is it that hun dreds of the citizens are leaving that county, not from consciousness of guilt, but because numbers of per fectly innocent men have already been arrested, and no man knows whose ‘ turn may come next ?’ The very man who has driven these people, under the pressure of intolerable wrongs, into the perpe tration of acts which the law forbids are the active agents of the Govern ment in a dragonade as fieice and bitter ar.d unspairing as the perse cution of the French Protestants by Louis the Fourteenth. In the Latter case the animatmg cause was reli gious bigotry. In South Carolina it is political and sectional hatred.— Sometimes, however, the proceed ings have a grim grotesqueness that mixes oddly and curiously with the more tragic elements. But little more than a week ago four memfrom York county—who were indicted at the last term of the United StaLes Cir cuit Court for the Charleston Dis trict for conspiracy and murder- pleaded guilty of conspiring to pre vent negroes from voting. The murder charges were then with drawn. Are we to understand that the accusaliou of murder was trumped up to frighten these men into confessing to a lesser offence, or are we to infer that in Radical esti mation to keep a voter from the polls is a greater crime than to take his life ?—Exchange. For Founder in Horses.—Pound up a piece of alum as large as a guinea egg; divide it into three parts; wrap one of ttn-se around ihe bit, and let )our hoise wear it in his mouth five or six hours, or until the alum is all dissolved, and repeat till the alum is all used by the horse in this way, which generally requires twelve or fifteen hours. Use your horse moderately the next day. It makes no difference how badly a horse may be foundered, if taken in time he will be perfectly well in from thirty-six to forty-tight hours. Liberal Republican Platform. \Ve, the Liberal Republicans ol tie United Stales, in National Con vention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles as essential to ju?t government: 1st. We rt cognize the equality of all men befbre the law, and hold that it is the duty of Government in its dealing with the peop'e to mete out equal aud exact justice to all of whatever nativity, race, color, or pf rsuasion, religious or political. 2d. We pledge ourselves to main tain the union of these Stales, eman cipation and enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopening of the ques tion settled by the Thirteenth, Four teenth ami Fifteenth Amendments to the Con-li r ution. 3d. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabili ties imposed o < acemrnt of th«- Re bellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that mo vers d name ty wiil result iu com pletc pacific.ilion in all sections of the country. 4th. Local self government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power. The public welfare requires the suprein acy of tfic civil over the military au thorny, and freedom of per-on tin der the protection o! the habeas cor pus. We demand for the individu al file largest liberty consistent with public order ; for the Slate, self- government. and for the nation a re turn to the methods of | eace and the constitutional Imi tations of pow er. 5th. The Civil Set vice of the Gov ernment lias become a mere instru ment of partisan tyranny and per sonal ambition and an object of ♦elf ish greed. It is a scandal and re proach upon free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity ol republican gov ernment. We therefore regard such thorough refonnsof the Civil Ser vice as one of the most pressing ne cessities ol the hour; that honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employ ment ; that the offices of the Gov ernment cease to be a matter of ar bitrary favoritism and patronage, aud that public slat i<mi become again a post of honor. To this end it is imperatively r« quired that no Presi dent shall te a candidate for re- election. 6th. We tie .• and a system of Fed- eral taxation which shall not unne cessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall pro vide the means necessary to pav the expenses of the Government eco nomically administered, the pen sions, the interest on the public debt, and a moderate reduction annually of the principal thereof; and, recog nizing that ;here are in our midst honest but irreconcilable differences of opinion wiih regard to the respec tive systems of Protection and Free Trade, we remit the discussion of the subject to the people in their Congress Districts, and to the de cision of Congress thereon, wholly free of Executive interference or dic tation. 7th. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we de nounce repudiation in every form and guise. 8th. A speedy return to specie payment is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. 9th. We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full reward of'their patriotism. 10th. We are opposed to all fur ther grants of lands to railroads or other corporations. The public do main shall be field sacred to actual settlers. 11th. We hold that it is the duty of the Government, in its intercourse with foreign nations, to cultivate the friendship of peace, by treating with all on fair and equal terms, re> garding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right, or to submit to what is wrong. 12tb. For the promotion and suc cess of these vital principles and the support of the candidates nominated by this Convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without re gard to previous affiliations.

Governor Palmer Abandons the Ro/ten Ctajl.—At a Democratic Liberal plat form meeting, at Cwbouville, 111., the home of Governor Palmer. Saturday night, the Governor made a bitter speech against Grant, and deeb red unequivo cally bis separation from the Republican party, and that he expected to vote for Democrats, and warned the Republi cans to go home, not to rest, but to whet up their awards for the coming conflict, which would $ war to U»« knife, From the Jtoauw Advertiser. The fsiitg Fewtf sf lie leith. One of the hopeful manifjpstatious of Southern politics is to be found in the intereer which the people, there, without political or social distinction, are begin- tiing to take in questions affecting their induatrial development aud meteriai pro gress. This is to us deeply interesting, because the Southern States must con tinue to be in the future, as in the past a most important wealth-producing sec tion of the Union. Nor can their influ- upon the revenue policy of the nation, as upon ita politics, be over animated. There is e common end dangerous sen timent abroad which finds expression in such utterances as these: “ We are done with the South** That job is fiu»hed “ The South is nothing.” We are not done with the South ; the job is not finished ; the South is a powerful •ud vital force iu the nation. The com mercial tables of the eoautry show that the contributions of the Southern States to oo.i exportable wealth exceed ie val ue the total exportwoi alMbe Uniou combined. In addition to this, they fur- lush through their productions (he basis ot the most valuable textile industries. It wiil no doubt surprise many of onr readers to learu that' in the matter of population the South leads the geograph ical sectious of the Union. The total population of the United States is placed by tbe last census at 38,i55,SS3. Of this number the Middle aud Eastcru States combined furnish iu round num bers 12.000,000, the Western States 12 OOO.uOO, tbe Soutbcru States or those couiutouly classed as such iu olden times, 14.000,000. Their political preponder ance is equally significant. Tbe total number of votes iu the electoral college is 357.

The Cincin nati Convention proved conclusively that Republicanism had run ita race, and if the Democrats expect te preserve their principles and the government with them, they will show wisdem by recognizing, to soma extent et least, the new revolution.—Sae PtpuUU.au. Plain Languagefrom Truthful Blair. —Our faithful reporter encountered the defunct Seymour candidate for Vieas President, and author of the Broad head letter, on his way to the office to get his sleeping car ticket to Washington. He ouly bad time to say: “Hello, Senator, what do you think of tbe nominations?” Senator Blair (with mneb cunning)— Oh, they are well enough. They suit me as well as any. They are very strong. Reporter—Bat they say the Demo crats will not support them. Senator Blair (with some spirit and a trifle of profanity)—Ob, hell! People are fools to talk that way. Why, Gree- ley will cany the whole South. Any man must he a d—d fool to say that tho ticket is not acceptable to Democrats— especially in the Sooth. I know what I’m talking about.
