Yesterday was a memorable day in the history of Georgia- -a day teeming with blessed association-, and fond remem brances. It wns n day around which will ever cluster memories grateful to every advocate of individual rights and every lover of gtunine American liberty, an inviolate birthright inherited by all true patriots from the immortal heroes of seventy-six. No startling event maned its serenity. No tumult, no iusorrec- tion, disturbed its tranqillity. It commemorates no strife, no conten tion, no involution, no war. It records no treachery, no disloyalty, no dark de signs, no daring intrignee, no foul con spiracles, no miaebievons plot for the subversion of kingdoms or the corruption of kings It wss a day of promise. It promistd succor to a down-trodden country. It promised relief to an oppressed and suf fering people. It was a day of tokens. It gave token of tbo return of the wbite- winged angel of peace, who, from the abomination of desolation, had winged her weary flight to unknown lamia. It was the dawn of a new era in Georgia's untie spotless career, but recently blemished and polluted by contact with monsters of corruption, whose poisonous breath threatens a plague of vioe, perfidy and infamous misrule among a people whose honor was once unimpeachable. It was the dawn of the day and time of peace, harmony, love, wisdom, justice, and that boon of earthly hope*, freedom, blessed freedom 1 We we e one of the multitude, yester day, that assembled in and about the Capitol to witness the organization of the Legislature, Remembering tbe dis graceful spectacle attending the organiza tion of the Honse on last year, we deter mined to smother our yet living indig nation by witnessing in that body the proceedings of Mon In wluioo ouul Ujrro burned n love Of country, right mud (iod.

We eerutinizud tbo face of every member as they sat upon the floor, arrayod, os it were, for oontest for rights of which they, by tho most foul treachery, had been disinherited.^ Nearly every countenance was serious with tho responsibilities that awaited them. No anger, no passion, no con spiracy lurkud in tho flashing eyes of thoso champions of liberty. No revenge rankled in their hearts, which, burning with indignation at insults heaped upon an unoffending people, only yearned to vindicate their constituents, and redtore to them thoaa lights aaured and precious, yea, iuviolate si life itself. It wns au imposing, intelligent, patri otic assembly. As wo sat there, gazing upon the array of tho people's vindica tors, we were carried hack to the palmy days of the Republic, whuu Jefferson, Henry Clay, Webster, aud Calhoun, with ularion voices, clamoured for the rights of the people. The spirits of those vet ermns, guarded by the white-winged angel of peace, hovered about them. Their "still small vnioea" whisper wise counsel and words of liojKi to our champions, aud bid them God spood in their efforts to restore onco more in spirit, in truth aud in deed, “Wisdom, Justice, and Modera tion,” to our oppressed people.

To ns there is uu absurdity ubout the suggestion. The Legislature is the Grand Jury of tbe State, uml the iuipro priety of a Grand Jury delegating its power, authority or duty to nuy persons outside of their own nitmlmr, is manifest. There could bo no objections to the able aud houoruble gentlemen whose names are suggested for this service, saw that they are not members of the Legis lature. We trust the investigation will be thoroughly made by memliei's of tbe General Assembly. E has bass fainted that Hr. H. I.

MAYOR'S COURT. a~ . “klf* BKi Caste" la tka Ase«a«uaey. We are firmly satisfied that the guerilla warfare, so long waged by His Satanic Majesty against his disaffected allies in Atlanta, is on the wane. Ambuscades of "Ten and Costs,"and "Five and Costs," have kept up such murderous cross-fire, that His Majesty’s hosts, fearfully re duced, threaten to disband and flee in tumultuous confusion.

Roberson, udmiu'x. Trover. WARNER, J. Action brought to redeem the value of 21 bides of cotton, alleged to have been converted by the plaintiff in error to his own use. Tliu jury found n verdict for the plaintiff for the proven value of thc cottou. Defendant made s motion for n new trial, on several gronuds, which was overruled, aud he excepted. The de fendant was offered as a witness to rebut and explain declarations mode to certain witnesses, who were examined on the trial in regard to the loss of the cotton, but not os to any of the facts tooohing tbo contract for the sale of the cotton made lietweeu himself sod the intestate. The rejection of the defendant as witness by the court to prove the facts for which he was offered, is tssigned as error. This was a suit by tbe administratrix to recover the value of oottou on a con tract mode by her intestate with the do- feuduut, and it was under that contract that she derived her title to the cotton. Where sn executor or administrator is a party in any suit on s contract of his tes tate or intestate, the other party shall not be admitted to testify in his own favor. (Code, sec. 3798.) The defendant wss offered as a witness to testify in his own favor in n suit in which the the plaintiff, as administratrix, ahs seeking to recover the value of cotton on s oontrsut made >ith her intestate, and tbe statute ex cludes him iu general terms in all such cases from being a witness in his own favor, for any purpose. If the defend ant could lie admitted to testify iu bis owu favor for the nurpose claimed, why not be allowed to testify in his own favor for any other pur poses and thus practically repeal the statute ? Where shall this Court stop in admitting the defendant to testify iu his owu favor in such cases ? The obvious reply is to stop just where tbe rtatuto commands them to stop. This question ns practically decided in the ease of McIntyre vs Meldrin, 40 G., 490.— There was no error in rejecting tho da fendnnt as a witness to testify in his own favor against the plaintiff on the trial of this case. The record discloses the fact that this is the third verdict found iu fa vor of tho plaintiff in this case, and we hint no errors that will authorize this Court to set it aside under the ovideuco, which is quite sufficient to sustain the verdiut of Ifac jury. The charge of the Court in relation to the admissions of tfae defendant, when oonsiderod as an entire charge, was not such on error as was calculated to mislead tbo jury. As a matter of practice, whon counsel reads a written request to charge in tho presence and hearing of the jury, the Court should either give or refuso to give such request in charge. If the re quest is a legal and perUuent charge, which ought to be given to tho jury, then the oourt should give it in the language requested, by reading the same to the tiio jury and not holdup the paper after the same had been reed and handed to the Court, tossy “Gentlemen, I give you all these in charge as requested. The preponderance of the evidence iu this cose was in favor of the verdict, sad we cannot say that it was not right under that evidence. Tbe jury wen the proper judges as to the credibility of the witnes ses and the weight to which their testi mony was entitled on considering it,— The toeing party is rawly, if ever, satis fied with a decision either at the oourt or of the jury when against him; but the public interest requites that thine be an end of litigation. We do not find any error sufficient to authorise this Court to interfere with the verdict or to oontrol the discretion of the Oourt below in re fusing a new trial. Judgment affirmed. J. S. Hook, R W. Carswell, for plain tiff; A R Wright, contra. E. H. Pugho vs. Jerry M. Carty—Libel. WARNER J. This is an action brought by the plain tiff against the defendant to recover dam ages for the printing and publishing of a libel in the columns of a daily newspa per. On the trial, the Jury found a ver dict (or the earn of Si,600. Tbe defend ant made a motion for a new trial on sev eral grounds, which was overruled by the Court, and defendant excepted. This case wss brought before the Court at a former term, and decided by a majority of the Court on the same statement of facts, or was presented on the last trial, exoept that on the last trial the evidence in relation to the dispute lietweeu the two newspapers was more full and explicit than on the former trial. The first ground of error assigned to the charge of the Court is in charging the jury that the wolds charged ia the declaration were li belous There was no error in this oharge, as it asuouuted to nothing more than saying that the words charged in the deolaralion were rationable as a libel under the law. The Court expressed no opinion as to whether the evidence, as proved on the trial, made out a libel un der the circumstances attending the pub lication. If tbe Court had charged the juxy that the evidence in itself constitu ted a libelous publication under the cir cumstances attending it, that would have been error, because it would have been an expression of opinion upon the evidenoe in the case. The counsel for defendant requested the Court to chugs the jury in the exact language of a majority of this Court aa applicable to the foots of this case, that where a dispute is conduct ed between two newspapers as to the extent of their city circula tion, and their employees volunteer to take part in the strife, and one charges an employee of the other, who is aiding in the quarrel, with theft and duplicity, and the other charges in return that the employee of the first bus beeu convicted of perjury by the solemn oath of a gen tleman whose veracity stands uuim peached and unimpeachable, and the lat ter brings a suit for libel on the charge contained in this published libel. The jury in such cases should find nominal damages ooly. The Judge states that he refused this charge for want of proof, but tbe record shows that the proof was quite as lull uu tbs last trial mid a little more so, than on the former aria), 40 Ga. 444. Whether the former judgment of a majority of this Court was right or wrong as applicable to tbe facts of the cose, still it was the judgment of the Court and the law of the cose, which the Court below, under the 4220 section of the Code, was bound to respect and in good faith to carry it into effect, and therefore should have given to the jury the charge m requested, and it was error in refusing to do sc, however erronoous tkq judgment of a majority of this Court may have been as to the law applicable to tbe state of facts. It was not the province or the duty uf the Court to question that judgment by a refusal to ad minister the law aa declared. McKay, J.—I concur in the judgment of the Court in this case, it being my opinion that there was sufficient evidence to authorize tbe charge, leaving it to the jury to determine from the evidence whether the plaintiff voluntarily engaged in the controversy. Lochrane, 0. J.—I desire simply to put off recording my concurrence iu this oase as based upon the previous decision of the Court; 40 G. 447. As an origins) proposition in law, I would qq) have lim ited the jury to nominal damages under the proof, bqt left the jury free to find the fact whether the plaintiff has volun tarily engaged in the newspaper contro versy, and to have assessed such damages as they may consider reasonable and just under the rules of law and the facts of the case.

You in the Atlantic and Western States have two kinds of wild geese, viz; tbe small yellow-legged, spotted-breasted goose, colled the "laugh ing goose,” and tbe largo dork goose, properly called the “Cnnda gooso” (rin ser Canadenis.) This lost always flies northward in early spring time, in (looks, under a leader, who heads the column, and at brief intervals gives off a deep duU cry, honk—bonk—Uonk( From this note they are aallod in the West aud Southwest “honkers.” If the weather is fair and prospect ahead pleasant, these geese fly straight northward high in the air, the leader “honking" loudly as he flies; bnt, if otherwise, they fly lower, and in anticipation of storms, break up their harrow-shaped organization, and look for a place of alighting. Theuoe comes the expressive and forcible expres sion, V Everything is lovely and tbe goose hauls high j” the word bonks having been misunderstood or corrupted into “hangs' by tlie whites who heard it, os I have heard it many times years ago used by tho negroes in tho Mississippi Valley.

Com The Chicago TVwes prints a remarkable stoiy, which is credited to a member of tbe Sociote Internationale, whose bead quarters are in Paris, aud attempts to prove that the destruction of Chicago was the work of inoendiaries. The first or ganization of the sooiety is Chicago was made about eight months ago, and when its members found that they could not accomplish what they desired by peaoe- able means tbe burning of Chioago was suggested. Several attempts were made before they sucoeoded. The author of this story says that G. Francis Train, a member of this so ciety, on Sunday evening proceeding the fire uttered these words: “This is the last public address that will be delivered within these walls! A terrible calamity is impending ovor tbe city of Chicago. More I cannot say; more I dare uot utter!" He adds that “it was well for Traiu that he closed as he did, for there were half a score of bauds grasping half a score of pistols that would have checked snv further uttemneo forever.” The author then goes into a history of the fire, aud asserts that two of the original foundora of tho organization in Chicago met deuth in the terrible con flagration they had instigated, and he alone is spared. Seven of the men dele gated to assist the firs in its progress also perished miserably, while two others are probably maimed for life. “Aa for myself,’’ he adds, "I have little hope of escaping the vengeance of the Interna tionola.” In a postscript he says: “Let me add one word,of warning. Other cities, both in this country and .Europe, havo been threatened with fire. Tho Societe Inter- nationalo is implacable." Church Directory.
