Judge Chase’s Opinions.
from the Richmond Dispatch.3
The exposition of Judge Chase’s opinions
in the New York Herald of June 2d, has at
tracted the attention of the whole nation.—
<i'he question has been. Is it authentic ? We
have beard from three gentlemen who have
conversed with Judge Chose that whether he
authorized that exposition or not, he certain
ly entertained the opinions expressed in it.
Saturday’s Whig says: “We arc at liberty to
say that the Chief Justice stated to an old
acquaintance and fellow member of Congress,
wbo called on him in this city Thursday, that
the letter iu question, (that to the Herald),
about the authorship of which he knew noth

A Useful Darkey.—Pamtltn’s, Ya., June
5,1868.—Editors Lynchburg News: I am now

Appomattox and Prince Edward counties,
and think I have been instrumental in con
verting some of the poor deluded freedmen.
I addressed a large concourse of both white
and black last Monday night at Charlotte
Courthouse; that night held a Conservative
meeting, at which two hundred and sixty-
seven blacks were present. The larger num
ber of them acknowledged their former er
rors and declared their determination to vote
the white man’s ticket. The next day a Rad
ical (white got me to drive him to Pamplin’s,
and not having a particular fancy for any
such, I upset lii3 carriage with intentions
to kill him, but he, being too mean, escaped

Hint to Bald-Headed People.—Freder
ick Hemp writes from the silver mines of
Montarsa'to the Herald of Health, giving the
following bint in reference to bald-headsd-
ness: “A friend of mine who had the misfor
tune to be bald-headed, knowing that there
is a wonderful invigorating power in the
snn’s rays, last Spring threw away his hat,
and worked in the gulch all Spring, Summer
and Fall, bare-headed, and also for the first
few days at midday. For a few days the rays
of the hot sun on bis head were almost unen
durable; after that time he experienced no
uneasiness whatever.
The result was that in the Fall he had a
good head of hair. And in this experiment
be was not alODC. Several of liis acquain
tances- who were bald-headed having fol
lowed the same plan, they were all fortunate
enough to experience the same result.” The
editor adds that a similar case came under
his own observation, abd professes to have no
doubt that “the exposure of the skin to the
air and sunshine, under proper circumstances,
stimulates it to a healthy action, and with it
those glands upon which the growth of the
hair depends.”
«LKT Cl HAVE PEACE!”
OB THE STORY OF THE GOOD BOY WHO WANT
ED PEACE AND GOT RICH, AND THE POOR
BOY WHO WAS QUARRELSOME AND LOST ALL
HIS MONEY.
Designed tor Small Children, and IUna-

[Second Pipe.]
Uncle Joe lit his pipe and continued:
"When Jonathan got to the end of his voyage
and saw the solitude ot the vast forest before
him—here, says he to his companions, we can
live in peace. “We will agree to be governed
by the laws of God until we have time to
make better ones. We will have liberty of
conscience and no persecution; but if any
unrighteous man should come here to delude
the flock with opinions we do not hold, we
will cut him off from among the people.
And it is a fact that, for a long time, Jon
athan did have comparative peace. The
Quakers and the Baptists troubled him once
in a while, but, said Jonatbab, “ we must
have peace,” and hung them up to the near
est tree. Sometimes the old ladies would
talk too much, and he burnt them as witches.
The Indians could not altogether stand the
discipline, but, says Jonathan, “ with the
help of the Lord we made a final end of
them,’.’ for we were resolved to have peace.
The yeuDg people’s hair was. cut short—
they were taught to cany themselves rev
erently and with a godly.and quiet demeanor,
and also to avoid light and idle word#; and
preserve a steadfast and grave countenance.
Jonathan, in the meanwhile, like a good
man. was diligent in business. He started
shops for making rum, glass beads, red flan
nel and so on. He built ships, he caught
fish, and began to trade and traffic to tbe
uttermost parts of the earth. He bought
niggers in Africa with his rnm and beads and
led flannel, and he set them to work in his
fields; but finding, one day, that the niggers
did not take to tbe cold climate and were
not fast hands, the thought struck Jonathan
that he would take a cargo of them down to
Phil, in Virginia, and strike up a trade.
He found poor Phil, as yon may be snre,
making himself comfortable and taking
things easy, with a pipe full of tobacco in his
mouth—the same careless, unprofitable, quar
relsome boy.
Phil, say3 he, the smoke of your tobacco
is like unto tbe smoke of the bottomless pit;
but if yon will raise tobacco, then do some
good with it, by buying these niggers of mine.
In an evil hour for him, poor Phil said it was
a bargain, and after that, it was nothing but
more tobacco for negroes and more negroes
for tobacco. Jonathan ran the tobacco over
to Liverpool in his ships and brought back
loads of negroes to buy more tobacco. Both
were so busy that Phil forgot to quarrel—at
least Jonathan did not interrupt tbe trade
with any further remonstrances.
They prospered—got rich and saucy and ,
finally both quarrelled with the old man whtft
wanted them to send home some of tl^ei^
earnings, and fought him many years tijl jfy
was glad to settle the matter by giving/them'
a clear bill of sale of tbe plantations. You’ll
rue it, said he. I know how you will get
along together; but now that’s your lookout
and not mine.
Phil was in high good humor with Jonathan
when they came to the property. Brother,
says he, my part is larger than yours. Take
those western plantations. They will make.
burnt his houses, killed his cattle, took his
money and reduced him to starvation and
ntter misery.
When they had done this they took Phil’s
niggers, put feathers in their beads and brass
and red flannel on their jackets, and then
set them up over him as his masters—and
now, said Gen. Grant, “Let us have peace.”
Yes, says Jonathan, now we can have peace,
for that quarrelsome fellow, Phil, is finally
disposed of.
So you see, my boys, said Uncle Joe, as he
knocked theasbes from his pipej what comes
of being quarrelsome, like poor Phil.
those western plantations. They will make
you flve large fields. Jonathan kindly con
sented to accept the gift. They then made
a permanent agreement to live in amity as
neighbors. Phil was a little moved in his
conscience about the negro trade from Afri
ca and wanted it stopped; but Jonathan, who
liked the business and made a good deal of
money out of it, insisted that it should be
kept open a little longer. In ten or twelve
years, says he,I can make my pile,with God’s
blessing, and then we can stop it.
And so it was, that so long as this negro
trading went on, Jonathan never had any
difficulty at all with quarrelsome Phil;'bnt
when it stopped, a quarrel followed, as you
shall hear, which brought poor Phil to the
almshonse and well nigh to the gallows.
It was then that Jonathan, like a good
maD, began to reflect upon the horrors of
slavery; and when he went down to Virginia
and saw Phil smoking and taking liis ease,
and gathering bis crops, like a lazy boy as
he was, Jonathan could stand it no-longer.
Phil, said be, this business of bolding
slaves is a horrid crime, and scandal. Well,
brother, said Phil—clear yourself of it—free
your negroes, and then your conscience will
be quiet.
No it won’t, said Jonathan. The crime will
still exist in America, and I am responsible,
before God, for America. I can’t permit you
to hold these slaves, and you must give them
up, for I say “ Let us have peace.”
Highty tighty, said Phil. Here is a pretty
mess indeed. You have a conscience to bring
me these negroes and take the money for
them—and then yon bav6 a conscience which
will not let me keep them. I tell yon this
won’t do.
I tell yon it must do said Jonathan, or
there can’t be peace between us, and I say
‘Let us Have Peace.”
Pay me for them, then said Phil. That I
won’t do said Jonathan, for it would be re
cognizing the right of property in slaves,
which would be a sin.
Then I won’t free them said Phil. Then I
say you shall said Jonathan. The conflict
between us on this point is “irrepressible.”
“The country can no longer exist half free and
half slave.” You shall give up your negroes
or yon shall fight, for I tell you I am deter
mined to have peace on this continent. And
bo the quarrel waxed hot from day to day till
Jonathan struck Phil. Phil held his temper
for a while longer, but one day he gave Jon
athan a plumper right between the eyes and
knocked him over.
Upon that Jonathan’s indignation was
roused to its utmost. He called all his fam
ily together in a grand uprising, and now,
says he, I have borne with that rascal Phil
long enough, and if I leave a head on his
shoulders, a rag on his back, or a bouse over
his head, or a bit of food in his larder, may
the Lord do so to me and mine also,for I say
Let us Have PeSce, and there can be no peace
so long as that fellow has life to quarrel. He
shall wallow in the dust.- He’s a rebel and
rebels have no rights.
So Jonathan raised all his meD, and he had
a great many more than PhiL He put them
under command of Gen. Grant—and Grant
says to them: “Let us have peace—let your
track be so desolate that a crow flying over
it shall have to carry his rations. Burn and
destroy. Leave no food or shelter for man
or beast, for I say, Let us have peace.” You
may be sure that go many of them were too
much for Phil. They killed his sous, beg
gared and insulted his daughters. They

What it Promises to Macon.
Baenbridge, June 4,1868.
At last we have a halt' hour’s rain and
promise of more. Crops in this section of
Georgia were sadly needing it and farmers
anxious. The little shower has cooled the
parched earth and the atmosphere, but it is
still very warm.
Bainbridgo is still improving. New houses
are springing up as if by magic, and each
day brings some new comer. Mr. SbaroD,
the head proprietor of the Sharon House, left
to-day for Savannah, to make arrangements
for the erection of a fine brick hotel edifice
on the site of his present hotel. Bainbridge
has long needed a first class hotel building.
A bridge spanning the Flint is now build
ing and nearly completed. It reflects credit
on tbe builders, Messrs. Maxwell & Callahan.
It is a draw bridge and will be completed in
tbe course of a few weeks. When this is
done farewell to the old ferry flat.
The South Georgia and Florida Railroad
is claiming tbs almost undivided attention of
tbe people of Thomas county and Thomaa-
ville. Major Maxwell’s corps of civil engi
neers have just completed a revision of this
survey and are now engaged in footing up the
estimates.
The people all along the liDe are anxious
ly waiting the day when they will be in
rapid communication with the rich grain
growing sections of the west—of Cherokee
Georgia and Middle and East Tennessee, over
the South Georgia and Florida, the South
Western, the Macon and Western, and the
State Roads.
Macon will be materially benefitted by the
completion of this road. It will open a new
provision trade to her enterprising merchants,
who will probably furnish the produce sup
plie9 to the counties all along the line. We
should be pleased to see something from your
able and trenchant pen calling attention and
aid to this important line. Macon is now
practically embargoed from this region by
the superior facilities of communication with
Savannah. But when this road opens, the
shoe will be on the other foot. ;

“General Remarks on Cotton.”
J(essrs. Editors: What reasons arc there
why cotton will not go to fifteen pence in
Liverpool by or before October ? The most
frequent one given is that the spinners can
not sell their goods. Those who give that
reason forget that the manufacturers’ business
slackens annually from May to the middle of
June, and some years so late as tbe middle of
July. In 1867 “the markets of the world
were .bit poorly supplied with goods;” so.
all the circulars up’ to Decern ficr'3J|
1867. The goods that were manufactured in
1866 were made up out of cotton that cost
from 15 to 21d. a pound, and yet the mark
ets of the world were but poorly supplied
with goods made out of co'ttou that cost an
average of 17 1-2 to 18d. a pound, and wheat
(Imperial measure) at 60s., and now wheat is
22s and cotton 11 l-2d. a pound, and on the
first day of June, 1867, the stock in Liver
pool was 811,000 bales, and in 1868, on tbe
first day of June, tbe stock of all kinds is
only 020,000 bales, with an increased con
sumption over 1867 of 21,000 bales a week.
Tbe spinners can’t sell their goods ?
If the markets of the world were but poor
ly supplied with goods in 1867, how is it
that a consumption of nine months ot cotton
can stock the markets of the world with
goods to such an extent as that the manufac-
tuers “can't sell their goods”? If the mar
kets of the world were but poorly supplied
with goods in 1867 made out of cotton in 1866
that cost 17 1-2 to 18d., with the bank rate of
interest at 8, now 2 per cent ? Is it not reason
able and fair to believe that the markets of
the world are now poorly stocked with goods
at low prices for cotton, low interest for
money, andjebeap food ? for, low prices for
cotton, low interest for money, and cheap
food, always begets consumption for goods.
Low prices in those three things is an evi
dence of prosperity in Europe and the world
generally, and prosperity in Europe and the
world induces and stimulates the consump
tion or the buying of goods in proportion to
that prosperity.
If cotton is high, the people of Europe
and the world buy but few goods; if cotton
is low, they buy double the quantity they do
when it is high. Hence, if “ the markets of
the world were but poorly supplied with
goods in 1867,” how can a nine months’ con
sumption of cotton at very low prices so
stock the markets of the world as that the
manufacturers “can’t sell their goods.” The
manufacturers may not have orders to the ex
tent that they had them in the last four
months, when they consumed of American
cotton alone 35,000 hales a week. Suppose
their orders are so reduced as to consume but
20,000 bales a week of American cotton,
would that be' an evidence that they can’t
sell their goods, when at that rate of con
sumption there would be only a stock of
05,000 bales of American cotton in Liverpool
at tbe end of twenty weeks ? By no means 1
It would only be an evidenee that the con
sumption was reduced, and not that the spin
ners can’t sell their goods. My opinion is,
that the reduction of consumption of Amer
ican cotton is more the result of a dread of
“ famine” in American cotton than that the
spinners can’t sell their goods, for the spin
ners of Manchester had sold all the goods
they could make up to the first of May, hence
they could have but few goods on the mar
ket the 1st of June. A. H,

From Richmond.
John D. Smith, Sheriff.
Walker, J.
It is the duty of a Sheriff to execute with
due dilligence the processes placed in his
hands, and pay promptly to the party enti
tled, money collected by him as Sheriff, and
on bis failing to do so he is liable to fine and
attachment for contempt, (Code, Sections
397, 401, 3873 and 3881.) While the Court
will require strict fidelity on the part its of
ficers, it will also enforce his rights for his
costs and fees as against suitors, therefore,
when a Sheriff at the instance of a plaintiff,
levied on the property of a defendant and
incurred expenses in secureing and taking
care of tbe property so levied on, and the
levy was subsequently dismissed by tbe order
of the plaintiff the Sheriff will not be driven
to an action to recover tbe costs so due him,
but judgment may be entered up against
tbe plaintiff for the same aud execution is
sue therefor, (Code, Section 400 and 8635.)
Tbe amount of compensation due the Sheriff
may be awarded by the Court. In this case
there being no contest as to the amount due
to the Sheriff and he being entitled to
judgment for the amount against the plain
tiff; there being apparent reason wby one
claim should not be pro tanto extinguished
by the other; and the Court having done in
this equitable proceeding what is right be
tween the parties, this Court will not, on ti
mere technicality, reverse the judgment;
more especially when it appears that by hav
ing a judgment rendered lor the costs admit
ted to be due the Sheriff, lie would have a
valid claim for a set off against tbe plaintiff’s
demand.—Judgment Affirmed,

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEATH OF HON. E.
STARNES.
The Committee appointed to prepare a
minute on the death of Hon. Ebenezer Starnes
submit the following report:
Again we are called to note the passing
away of a brother and a friend. Since the
last term, tbe Hon. Ebenezer Starnes, of Au
gusta, formerly a Judge of this Court, lias
been taken from us. It is fitting that a me
mento of bis virtues, and a mark of tbe re
spect in which lie was held by his brethren
of the Bench and Bar, should be recorded
here.
The deceased was still in the prime of life
and in the midst of a large and laborious
practice when tbe summons came. His death
was sudden, and its announcement fell with
a shock on the public ear, without even a
note of warning, or a moments preparation
to hear it. In tbe community where he lived
no man was more respected, or commanded
a larger share of their trust aud confidence.
He liad lived in the same city from youth
up. Beginning life - with no peculiar advan
tages of fortune or family connections, and
not gifted with those brilliant qualities that
strike and dazzle tbe public eye, his rise in
life was steady, regular, and due to patient
industry, perseverance, and unswerving in
tegrity.
He became Attorney General of his Circuit,
then Judge ot the Superior Court, then Judge
of the Supreme Court; and in every station
acquitted himself with credit and honor, add
ing to bis daily increasing reputation, and
being more and more appreciated by tbe peo
ple of bis State. For tbe last thirteen years
of his life he filled no office^but devoted him

sobbing as they were, did not cool his patri
otism, or prevent his active participation
in every good work. During the late civil
war he was the head and soul of that most
useful and beneficent institution, the Georgia
Relief Association, and many a suffering sol
dier felt the effects of his' unwearied efforts
in its behalf. At the time of his death he
was engaged with zeal and energy, in the
duty assigned to him by the bar of the State,
of raising a monument to the late eminent
and beloved Chief Justice. Activity, assidu
ity and zealous effort marked his movements
in every position in which he was placed.—
As a lawyer he was faithful, laborious, able
and eminently successful. Ana judge hewas
patient, investigating, impartial and a lover
of justice.
His written opinious in the Georgia Re
ports are tbe monuments of his high qualities
as a Judge. His demeanor at the Bar was
that of the high—toned gentleman. No man

I- ” 'For trickery and finesse he had an abiding

bright and useful example; for what he was,
they can make themselves, by tbe use of the
same means, industry, patience, integrity and
honor.

The nullification of the Georgia relief clauses are

loyal persons was defeated by an equally large vote.
The amendment ordering the inauguration of State
officers without unnecessary delay, and declaring the
elected officers excluded by Federal laws or tbe pro
visions of the fourteenth amendment ineligible was

been elected, but that all elected who accord with
Congress will be rendered competent in ample time,
by the removal of political disabilities.
The Senate is still in session.

From New Orleans.
Installment of tlie New Mayor—Resistance
toy Mayor Heath.
New Orleans, Juno 10.—At noon to-day, Mr. Con
way, the newly elected Mayor, presented himself at
the City Hall and presented Mayor Heath with a copy
of Buchanan's order announcing the former's elec
tion to the office of Mayor.
Heath replied that he knew of no law authorizing
the election in question, and furthermore, did not re
cognize the authority of Gen. Buchanan to issue said
order.
Conway replied that he called in obedienco to tbo
order to assume the duties of the office, and if Heath
did not acknowledge its authority, ho should, be un
der the necessity of reporting the fact to the Com
manding General.
Heath replied: I decline to give up the office. Con
way then proceeded to Headquarters,and at half past
two o'clock Conway, accompanied by Capt. DeRussy,
of Gen. Buchanan's staff, proceeded to tho City Hall,
and informed Heath that he had come to execute the
order, which he presented. It was directed to Capt.
DeRussey, and signed by the Adjutant General, di
recting him to proceed to the City Hall and install
Mr. Conway as Mayor. Heath replied that he wns
duly appointed Mayor of the city of New Orleans and
bis appointment was confirmed by Congress; that ho
know of no election which was legal, of a successor to
fill his placo; therefore he did not recognize the au
thority of Gen. Buchanan to remove him. DeRussey
retired and procured a squad of Police and placed
Heath under arrest, and ordered him to deliver tho
keys and books of the office to Conway. Heath re
fused to comply withont a written order, which was
given him.
Conway took charge of the Mayor's office, and an
nounced his Secretary John W. Overall. While wri
ting the orders mentioned, Judge Whitaker informed
Capt. DeRussey that a writ of quo warranto had been
issued by Judge Dnpiantier, of the Sixth District
Court, upon Conway. Capt. DeRussey replied that
Conway was installed. The writ would take its proper
conrse, bnt could not interfere with the duties he was
then discharging. Heath having tarned over the keys
and books, was released on parole. Beforo sending
Capt. DeRussey t« install Conway, Gen. Buchanan
sent a communication to Heath, des'riag his presence
at his headquarters at his earliest convenience.—
Heath replied that he was officially engaged, and
would call at the earliest opportunity compatible with
his official duties. Heath to-day received a letter con
taining the single word, “Stick," purporting to have
been signed by five thousand Republican friends.—
Considerable excitement is prevailing throughout the
city. A strong body of police are at tho City Hall.—
Becker and 3Iasscrat, Recorders elect of tho First and
Third Districts, have qualified. Tho incumbent of
tbe Recordership of the Third District refuses to give
up his office, as it might prejudice the contest of the
election which ho is now engaged in.

'PHIS SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL OIL IS NOW
JL before the public, its first introduction into this
city. -
Aa a safe and reliable illuminator, it has no equal.
IT IS NON-EXPLOSIVE l It burn* longer and gives
a more brilliant light than tbe best Kerosene. It has
no disagreeable odor or any uncleanliness about ir.
It does not smoke the chimney or char tho wick, nor
grease anything. It emits no explosive gases, and
there is not a single instance on record of its veer
exploding, all rumors or suppositions to th** contrary
notwithstanding. The burning qualities of the Auro
ra Oil are in every way superior, und it cannot fail to
receive the sanction <d every rational mind, and will
sooner or later take tbe place of all other luminating
substances. You do not have to throw away yonr old
lamps to use it, but simply change your old-foshion*d
Kerosene burner for the “Sun" or “Comet" burner,
to be had at T. J. Flint's store. The Aurora Oil is for
