TV. H. Dabney for Defendant in error.
John A- Long, plaintiff in error, vs. 'the State,
defendant in error—Murder—from Bartow.
McCay, J.—1st. It is too late, after arraign
ment, to object to an indictment on the ground
that it fails to allege the defendant to be a resi
dent of the county in which the bill is found. .
2d. When it appeared that the venue in a
murder case wss changed, on the motion of the
prisoner, at the April term, 1868, from Gordon
county to Bartow county, and the case wss call
ed for trial in Bartow county, atNovember term,
18G8, the defendant is charged with notice that
the case will then be called, and he cannot ex
cuse himselt for want of diligence in preparing
for trial, by his affidavit that he did not know
the case had been moved to Bartow, and would
be called for trial at the next regular November
term.
3d. The simple fact that the defendant has
been in jail, in a distant county, does not excuse
him for want of diligence in preparing for trial.
Tho absence of counsel “on whom tho defen-
dent mostly relies,” unless shown to be neither
by neglect nor by collusion, is not a good ground
for continuance.
4th. When a motion is made to continue at
the calling of a cause, the movant must take all
hisgronnd; he cannot, afterhismotionhas been
made and overruled, file a plea based on facts,
known at the timo, setting np a special defence,
and then move to continue the new issue thus
tendered.
Gth. This court will not interfere with the dis
cretion of the Judge in refusing a continuance,
unless there is an abuse of the discretion the law
has merely reposed in him.
MT ilea of insanity, provided for by
de, is a plain abatement,
Mr. O'Neal—A resolntion that the Clerk of
this House bo required to keep an accurate oc-
count of tho time spent in speaking, so that the
people may know tho truth in spite of news-
r reporters. Indefinitely postponed.

• and Frank Grubb, of Upson county.

Tfv. iat.t.wt W m n. Wash. —As the house-clean
ing will soon be here, it may not be amiss to
say a few words in regard to whitewashing.
There are many receipts published, but we be
lieve the following to be the best that can be
used: White chalk is the best substitute for
lime aa a wash. A very fine find brilliant white
1 cents a pound
pounds of Paris White we procure half a pound
of the white transparent glue, costing twenty-
five cents, (fifty cents a pound.) The sixteen
pounds of Paris White is about as much aa a per,
son will use in a day. It is prepared as follows:
The glue is covered with cold water at night,
and in the morning is carefully heated—without
scorching—until dissolved. The Paris White
is stirred in with hot water to give it the proper
milky consistency for applying to walls, and the
dissolved glue is then added and thoroughly
mixed. It is then applied with a brush like the
common lime whitewash. Except on very dark
and smoky walls, a single coat is sufficient. It
is nearly equal in brilliancy to “zme white, ” a
far more expensive article.—Con. Germantown
Telegraph,
6th. Thep]
4234 of Irwin’s Code, ia apliiin abatement, and
must show that the defendant is insane at the
tims of the trial. Ita object is to ascertain if
the prisoner can then be tried; not to determine
his guilt or innocence of the crime charged.
3. Glenn, A. B. Culberson, for plaintiff in er
ror.
W. H. Dabney, for Solicitor General, for
Stato.
William Watkins, plaintiff in error, vs. John D.
Pope, defendant in error—Attachment—Ful
ton county.
McCay, 3.—When A sold to B a stock of mer
chandise, in consideration that B would jpay a
certain debt of $500 due by A, to which
security; and in farther consideration that B
would pay the debts due by A for the stock of
>ods, which amounted to $1,500. Held that
o mode of payment was a part of the consid
eration; and that even as to the $1,500, A has
no right of action against B until he fails, or
unreasonably delays to pay the debts duo by A
for the stock of goods.
Nor can a general creditor of A, in the ab
sence of any frand or collusion between the
parties with intent to hinder or defraud the cred
itors of A, subject, by the process of garnish
ment. this obligation of H to the payment of tho
debt the creditor holds against A.
Hammond, Mynatt A Wclbora for plaintiff in
error.
Lochrane A Clark for defendant in error.
P. H. Kilgo, Plaintiff in error vs. R. J. Castie-
bery, Defendant in error. Bill, etc., from
Union county.
McCay, J.—When an attachment ia levied on
real estate, and before judgment on tho attach
ment, an execution, on a common law judgment
in favor of other parties against tho defendant,
is levied on tho samo real estate, the Sheriff
may proceed to sell under the last levy, and the
purchaser gets a good title.
When an execution against two joint-obligors
is levied on the property of one of them, the
other defendant has a ng
at the sale, and he gets
defendant to the property.
Mere general charges of fraud, with no speci
fication of fraudulent acts, are not sufficient to
give a Court of Equity jurisdiction, to set aside
a Sheriff's sale.
When a fi. fa. against two joint obligors, they
being mutually interested in the consideration,
is satisfied by the sole of tho property of one of
them, the other is indebted to him for contribu
tions, according to the equitable rights of the
two in tho original contracts, and the creditors
of tho obligor whose property has been sold,
may reach this obligation to contribute by pro
cess of garnishment, and have therefore a rem
edy at law.
Judgment affirmed.
Weir, Boyd A Wimpy, for plaintiff in error.
W. P. Price, for defendant in error.
Chfts. C. Clayton, Plaintiff in error vs. Warren
Akin, Executors. Bill for direction from Bar
tow.
McCay, J.—1. A money legacy left to the
Executor of a will, though expressed to be “in
addition to the usual commission allowed by law,
and as a foil compensation for any extra trouble
he may hAve in executing the will,’' is a general
legacy and cannot, as a legacy, be exempted
from abatement, with other general legacies,
in case of a deficiency of assets.
2d. When a testator, in a single item of his
will, gave to his wife $1,500 in money, various
articles of personal property and a life estate in
a certain house and lot and its appurtenanoes,
with the privilege, if she so desired, to take
$1000 instead of toe life-estate in the house and
lot and in a subsequent item he distinctly de
clared that the “ legacy left his wife is in lien
of dower” : Held, that the word “legacy” in
tho last item, covers all the several bequests of
the first, and should she prefer the $1000 in lieu
of the life-estate, and elect to take her “legacy”
in lieu of dower, she takes all the several be
quests in her character as dowerless.
3d. When a legacy left a wife is expressed to
be in lieu of dower, and she elects to take the
“legacy,” she takes it as a quad purchaser,
and, in a contest betweenher andothe.: legatees;
whether general or specific, she cannot be called
upon to abate with them, to make up a deficien
cy of assets.
4th. A legacy in Georgia may be adeemed by
the delivery of the property to the legatee, dur
ing -the life time of the testator, and if it be so
adeemed, it does not pass under the will, and is
not subject to abate on a deficiency of assets.
5th. Whether a legacy has in fact been adeem
ed, is a question of fact, to be left to a jury un
der the evidence in the particular case. The
delivery of the legatee must be of such a char
acter as to show that it was the intent of the
testator to part at the time, irrevocably with his
dominion over the property.
W. T. Wofford, L. E. Bleckley, for plainitff
in error.
D. A- Walker and W. Akin, for defendant in
error.
Bunnrxo Potatoes.—A writer in the Griffin
Star gives the following as the result of his ex
perience in bedding potatoes:
In bedding my potatoes I remove the earth of
the size I want my bed, say two inches. I then
get dry fresh manure from my stables and cover
the bed four inches in depth with the soil I first
removed. I then place the potatoes as close as
they can be laid upon the bed. I then cover
the potatoes two inches deep with good soil
M et the bed thoroughly, with soap-suds if you
have them; if not, use water.
Aa soon as the sprouts begin to crack the
ground over the bed, throw on more dirt, say
three inches, and be sure to use such loamy soil
that will not bake.
When the sprout are up large enough to draw
and plant, in lien of drawing them up, as is
usual, take a sharp Itife ana cut the slips off
about three inches below the suxfaoe, and you
will be surprised to see how soon the bed will
be covered again with slips. I can plant more
ground from one bushel bedded in this way than
T ou can from two bushels bedded in the ncnal
way. Tnx I*.
A Confession.
When the extreme Radicals of the Republican
party succeeded in forcing negro suffrage on the
people of the South, they clothed the latter with
the most effectual means of hereafter defeating
all the aspirations of that party. The New Ton
Tribune realizes with whom the blacks will he re-
after vote, and issues a note of warning to the
white Republicans of the South. The philoso
pher of the Tribune says:
We entreat the white Republicans of the
South to consider well the position of the blacks.
Most of these live on the lands of “Conserva
tives,” otherwise rebels in the past; three-
fourths of them either work for these rebels or
till their lands on shares; and all of them are
connected by early associations and life-long
intimacy with those who once owned and still
employ, or at least shelter them. So long as
the socially dominant race were leagued to
deny political rights to their former chattels
it was easy to rally the most of these latter
to vote as the law of self-preservation dic
tated ; but from the moment in which the late
masters abandon this attitude for one of frank
recognition and cheerful concession of the
rights of the blacks, all this must inevitably
utterly lie changed. Between the stranger and
“ole massa” — especially when the latter
happens to be a gentleman—it is just as certain
that the latter will have the most infiuenoe with
the great body of indnstrious, frugal, docile ne
groes, as that water will run down hill. For a
year or two, distrust of sudden convulsions and
the forte of party dicipline may keep meat
blacks voting as they began; but every day's
observance of good faith and fair dealing on the
part of the plantation aristocracy will bring
more and more of the blacks over to their side,
until the great body of them will be found
shouting and voting with the better portion of
their late masters. It were as idle to hope to
resist this as to fight against a thaw in Match or
blossoms in May.
What does tins mean? What advice is in
tended to be conveyed by fy the above extract ?
It quietly but distinctly gives Southern white
Republicans notice to drop the negro as a future
lutical ally, and attempt to strengthen the
party by advocating universal amnesty and im
partial suffrage. The argument of the Tribune
s intended to strengthen the Virginia compro
mise with Congress on that basis.—Augtuta

National Banks in Geergia-
Our readers will find, in our Washington cor
respondence, an abstract of the condition of the
National Banks in Georgia on the first Monday
of January, 1869. This statement presents some
striking features, among which are the insuffi
ciency of our banking facilities and the great
profitableness of currency banking in Georgia.
The capital employed is only about one-eighth
of the amountmf banking capital in use before
the war, while the movements of trade require
at least as groat a sum now os then. The cotton
crop of our Stato alone, of this year, will em-
iloy thirty millions at least to move it, while tho
looking capital is shown to be only one million
six hundred thousand dollars for this purpose.
We saynothing of the wants of other branches
of business, and we have only about one-twen
tieth of the sum of bank capital requisite to
move the cotton crop. This shows our farmers
how completely they are’ dependent on foreign
capital, which, by its control, can regulate the
cotton markets and gold markets; and demon-
s tratea the necessity for farmers to keep out of
debt, by bolding a good surplus in gold to meet
their current yearly expenses. If the farme
in debt, or has not provided for his wages, sup
plies and fertilizers, he is obliged to force hu
cotton on the market to meet advances, or to
make purchases, and if such credit system pre
vails generally, he is obliged to take that price
which can and will be fixed by money rings,
ontside of tho natural price regulated by supply
and demand.
It will be porceived that the surplus fund and
undivided profits amounts to $465,176.80, or
more than one-fourth of the whole capital em-
ed. This accumulation of undivided profits
e result of three years’ business and is over
and above the heavy disbursements for expenses
in beginning and carrying on the business and
hands, uno semi-annual dividends that have been
paid to stockholders, of five and ton per cent, per
annum. While we are glad to notice this evi
dence of prosperity of the Southern Banks, we
cannot omit again to call the attention of farm
ers to tho rate of interest which they must ex
pect to pay if they run their farms upon a credit
schedule. Farmers who pnrsne such a policy
must add at least one-third to this calculation of
farm expenses and expect to see his crops forced
upon tho market according to tho interest and
necessities of money lenders.—Chronicle <C Ben-
lihd.
Annexation of West Florida.
We find in the Montgomery State Journal, the
f oQowing extract of a letter from one of the
Commissioners recently sent to Tallahassee to
negotiate the annexation of West Florida to Al
abama. The letter is dated January 15.
We reached here yesterday morning, and
havo received nothing but kindness and courtesy
at the hands of the members of the Legislature
and others. A little impromptu supper was
given us last night, where, amid pleasant fes
tivities, there was quite a free interchange of
PLANTERS,
Loot to Your Interest!
opinions.
It is proper to observe, however, that we find
an unforeseen difficulty to the speedy accom
plishment of our work. The Constitution of
Florida, as a matter of course, prescribes the
oundaiy of the Stato; and it may be that the
„ reposed annexation will involve a formal
amendment of the Constitution. This cannot
be done without a two-thirds vote of two suc
cessive Legislatures, and then a concurrence of
the people. Were it not for this difficulty, the
object of our mission would be readily accom
plished. I doubt not that two-thirds of the Leg*
islature will vote for the desired cession. On
that subject there is remarkable unanimity
among the members west of tiia Apalachicola;
and I think that line will be the basis of all our
negotiations. The members between that river
and the Choctawatchie are particularly anxious
to be included, if the cession is made. The
eastern members are either for os, or not active
against ns.
My present opinion is, that the movement
for annexation will be inaugurated by the pas
sage of the requisite bill this session. After
that, the affair, of coarse, will have to proceed
as prescribed by the Constitution. From the
Stato officials we have all received marked
kindness. Very respectfully,

Am Important Jury Bill.
from the Atlanta Oanetitntion.1
The bill of Mr. Speer before the Senate is an
important measure. It provides that the juror*
now drawn for the Spring term of the Superior
Courts in this State snail be declared competent.
It also provides that the Judges of the Superior
Courts shall appoint before toe adjournment of
the spring term three intelligent and honest per
sons in each county, who, in connection with
the Ordinary and Clerk of the Superior Court,
shall prepare a list of intelligent male citizens
between toe ages of twenty-one and sixty, who
have never been convicted of crime, subjected
to imprisonment in the penitentiary, or a fine of
$100, or imprisonment in any jail not exceeding
thirty days. The boxes are arranged similar to
those at present and numbered one and two.
The three citizens charged with preparing the
jury lists are sworn by the Judge, continuing in
office two years, and receiving such compensa
tion aa toe Judge may allow. Before the ad
journment of toe Spring Term, the three citizens
with the Ordinary and Cleric of toe Superior
Court, shall proceed to draw,as ia now prescribed
by law, a sufficient number of jurors. Jareas
receive one dollar per diem for their services.
Mr. Speer is a working member of the Senate,
ami is more pointed than polished, wielding not
a pike, but Ithariel’s spear.
The Engliab factory act, which went into ef
fect on January 1, 1869, provides that after that
day toe Saturday half-holiday shall be compul
sory aa regards children, young persons, and
women, in all factories, workshops, and places
in which any manual labor is performed.
