On the 29th of June the dissertation regarded as portending better times. Not so in the North where the supply of even skilled labor exceeds the demand; where greedy capitalists, takiDg advantage of this fact, are disposed to reduce the wages of working men below living rates. Should Chinese laborers be employed to work our farms and plantations, the neces sities and motives for the adoption of that policy will be found to be the very oppo site ot those which have instigated Hr. Sampson to introduce them into his shoe shops at North Adam3. We would be sup plying a demand for labor from a foreign source simply because our home supply is deficient. Not so tbe greedy capitalists and money rings at the North, who arc patting Mr. Sampson on the b^ck and re joicing over the trlnmph, which, through his Yankee ingenuity, he seems about to achieve for heartless capital over skilled and willing labor. Tlio Kail roads—A Plea in Behalf of the People. The numerous railroads which, in the fall, spring and winter, derive large profits from tbe transportation of Southern pro duce and supplies for the Southern people are earnestly, appealed to to consider favor ably the policy of reducing the tariff of charges for passengers to three cents mile until tbe first day of November next. The considerations which urge this are: the great scarcity of money in the planting districts at this season of the year, tbe ne cessity on the score of health, and tbe fact that the very people who would be bene' fitted by the proposed change in the tariff are the principal customers of the railroads to which this appeal is made. The companies may reply that they issue thousand mile and commutation tickets at the rate of three cents a mile; but avast majority of those io whose behalf we plead do not wish to travel as many as a thou sand miles, nor havemany of them enough money at one time to buy commutation tickets, if necessity or pleasure-seeking in duces them to gravel, In behalf of the people we make this ap peal to all the railroad officials in Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama and Virginia. We believe they will reap profit by complying with the suggestion made, while, at the same time, they benefit their chief customers. The attention of the membersof the press is respectfully called to the above. If they approve of it, we know they will confer substantial benefit upon the people, who are now cramped for means on which to travel, by commenting upon it favorably. tSTThe Memphis papers contain full particulars of the duel bewcen twoyeung lawyers named Phelan and Brlzolara, in which the latter was shot through the heart. They fought with navy sixes at tbe distance of fifteen paces. It was agreed that, after they began firing, each was to maintain his position and continue firing until all the barrels were emptied, or until cither party fell. Brlzolara fell at the second shot of Phelan’s pistol. The wounded man’s life is not despaired of by bis surgeon. The affair grew out of poli tics.

Jefferson himself is^thegreatest central figure. His body bends under tho accumu lated infirmitiesof eighty years. Hiscbar- acter is strengthened and purified by the cares and responsibilities of the gravest duties, in peace, in war, in tile feverof rev olution, in the.bcat of partisan conflicts, in the conscious gravity of administration, in the. calm repose ot declining years. His intellect is cultivated and matured by the studibs and observations' and reflections of a life alternating between the halls of su preme authority, and the seclusion of these groves, and valleye, and mountains. Beside him is Madison—calm, philosophic, immovable—gentle and courtly in mati- ners.'cafeful, exact, imperturuble in habits of mind—fixed, unbending, straightfor ward in the assertion of principles. And Monroe, less cultivated, perhaps, than either, hut high-toned, ardent, active, im petuous, honest, honorable, pure—the tri umvirate of Republicans—of whom it may be said, now that the voice of party is hashed in the presence of history without trenching on the domains of partisan sus ceptibility, that they illustrated and hon ored the best days of the Republic. Here were honor, truth, virtue, patriotism, genius, intellect, cultivation, tbat knowl edge and things; that practical solution of affairs which makes the difference between the dreamer and the wise man.

Editors Constitution: The Sub-committee of the Trustees of Mercer University are now out on a tour of observation for the purpose of making a report to the commit tee of the convention of the various sites and proposals for the removal of this Insti tution, and for its permanent location for all time. The University has already good substantial endowment, mostly in the Georgia and Central Railroad stock, and is well organized; has an able faculty and is warmly sustained and supported by one of the strongest denominations of Christians in the South. And it is the determination of the trustees and friends of this Institu tion to press their financial enterprises in its favor until tho endowment is raised to an half million dollars, Independent of the value of its ground and buildings. It is their intention to endow it, and to do it speedily, with all the material strength and resources necessary to place it, on an equal footing or usefulness and eminence with the best and strongest literary insti tutions of the country. As an important step in carrying forward their noble enter prise, they desire to secure a permanent establishment in connection with one of our greatest and most prominent cities, which, merits theadvantages of central po- sition. -convenience of access, and an earn est and generous co-operation in the great work in which they are engaged.' All our people must perceive, and docs perceive, the importance of securing the removal of Mercer University to Atlanta. Other cities are entering into a vigorous competition to secure this great boon to themselves. The many objects that now engross the at tention of this city—her prominence amongst most of the cities of the State, and her presuming too much on her advantages of location, and her growing importance- have produced a degree of self-confidence that all will be well in this matter that will ThejudgeswereLemuelShaw,ofBostori, defeat, it is feared, the expectations and James C.

This will certainly be the fact, unless there is action, immediate action, agitation and action amongstonr citizens, and immediate and strong action by the Mayor and Council of the city. Nothing that now engages the attention of Atlanta, nothing tbat can en gage her attention, possess the importance that this does. And yet, strange to say, there is, to a large extent, apathy in the city government. That apathy which must and will induce the sub-committee to be lieve, and so report to tbe body who sent them, that appearances, and the manner in which the subject is received and treated, shows that the city and her people have no very strong desire to receive the boon which they have so eminently in their power to secure. The -sub-committee came to this city last Friday. There has been no interview, no overtures made to them in any shape or man ner. When we contrast this with the manner in which they were received in the city of Macon, and the overtures that were there made to them, we must perceive at once the course which, as hon est, candid men. the committee mu3t take in acquitting themselves of the trusts com mitted to their hands. They were at once waited on by the most influential and dis tinguished citizens of that place, and their presence produced prompt and immediate action by the city government. A choice of five sites on the elevated ground above the cltv was tendered, and one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in seven per cent, city bonds, with the strongest Green E8BOEO, Ga, July 4,1870. Editors Constitution: As you have so licited contributions from different por tions of the State, relative to the crops, etc., I propose writing you from this ancient city. 1 find'the merchants here rather “ bine” on accountof the dullness of trade, though living on the hope of Tiaving a live ly time next fall. Trade is exceedingly dull and money, they say, has almost played ont; the,farmers having invested all in guanos and provisions to make another crop. The farmers are quite jubi lant over the prospect of having plenty of money at the elose of the year. The wheat and oat crop, already harvested, Is the best that has been, made in several years. The cotton is doing finely and there was never a better prospect for a good crop of corn. I have seen cotton stalks measuring forty- four inches, which was about the average of a six acre field. The citizens generally anticipate quite a lively time next week, being tue occasion of the commencement exercises of -Mercer University. The exercises will commence next Sabbath, the 10th instant, and prom ise to be of unusual interest. As they are probably the lust that will be held atFcn- tield, a large crowd is expected to attend. I learn that lion. Charles T. Goode, of Americas, will-deliver the address before the Literary Societies, and Hon. John T. Clarke, of Cuthbert, will deliver the ad dress before the Alumni Association. The exhibition of the Ugly Club, which takes place on Monday night, will no, doubt, be enjoyed by all. A gentleman in Augusta lias sent up his name as a candi date for thc Fresidency. Don’t you think Atlanta can furnish a suit^ble candidate for that ollice? Respectfully, B. E. R. The typos of Macon have a picnic ex cursion to Pace’s Station, on tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad, on Monday next. On different farms in Cobb county last week, the laborers asked for an advance from seventy-five cents to a dollar a day for labor. Allen Taylor, 15th amendment, found guilty of horse stealing in Richmond Su perior Court, has been sentenced to twenty years’ labor for Grant, Alexander & Co. Nat. Teagle, of Meriwether county, reaped eighty-six bushels of wheat from two and a half acres, and on one select acre forty-two bushels. As an evidence of the benefits of printer’s ink the Dawson Journal cites the fact that tbe editors were out of eggs and spring chickens. Now they are wholesale dealers. Ben. Butler, 15th amendment, has been sentenced by Judge Gibson, of Augusta, to four years’ labor for Grant, Alexander & Co n for outraging a colored child. The funeral sermon of Mrs. M. J. Cofer will be preached at Fellowship Church, in Butts county, on tho second Sunday (the 10th) in July, by the Rev. IV. P. Harrison, D. D. A “boy in blue,” at tbe Arsenal in Sum merville near Augusta, outraged a little white girl, seven or eight years old. His comrades had to he restrained from making a terrible example of him. The'wife of David Smith, of Augusta, was severely wounded on Monday by the blowing down of a log hoase nearGran- itcvilie, South Carolina, and his child killed. Rev. Dr. J. H.

The 3519th section of the Code declares that a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction is conclu sive between parties, and proves, as to the fact3 it decides, until reversed or set aside. The judgment of a court of competent ju risdiction cannot he collaterally attacked In any other court for irregularity, hut shall be taken and held as a valid judg ment until It is reversed or set aside; and such judgment cannot be set aside, either in a court of law or equity, unless it he for fraud, accident or mistake, or the acts of the adverse party, unmixed with the neg ligence nr fault of the party complaining. Code, 3535—3537. The defendants in that judgment do not complain of it, and if they did. it would be conclusive upon them as. to any defense which they had the opportu nity to make, prior to the rendition of the Judgment against them. The 17th section of the 5th article of the Constitution of 1868, relates to contracts made in aid of the rebellion, which have not been reduced to judgment, and points out the mode of de fense to suits on such contracts, but bos no application to judgments. It is true that the Code declares that a contract of record is one which has been declared and adjudi cated by a court haviDg jurisdiction, or which is entered of record in obedienco to, or in carrying outthe judgment of a court. 2675, but it is nevertheless a judgment of the court, with all the elements, qualities and attributes of a judgment, and as sucli is not embraced or contemplated as one of that class of contracts specified in the 17th section of the 6th article of the Constitu tion of 186S. This is more apparent from the fact tbat the 5th section of the 11th ar ticle of that same Constitution declares that “all rights, privileges and immunities which may have vested in, or accrued to, any person under any decree, judgment or order of any court, sitting in tills State under the laws then of force and operation tiierein. and recognized by the people as a court of competent jurisdiction, since the 19th of January, 1861, shall he held invio late by all the courts of this' State, unless attacked for frand, or unless otherwise declared invalid by or according to this Constitution. The 6th section of tbe 11th article of that same Constitution provides for the setting aside and vacating said judgments for fraud, illegality or error of law in obtaining the same, provided the motion or application he made for that purpose in twelve mohths from tbe adop tion of the Constitution. The judgment of the plaintiff against the defendants therein, lor which the defendant gave his note, was a valid subsistin'; judgment, and constituted a legal and valid consideration for the note, and the defendant cannot go behind tbat judgment, and show that it was founded on an illegal consideration as defense to tbe note given by him to the plaintiff in payment of that judgment, tbe more especially as it appears from tbe evi dence in tho record that ho received the horse for which the original note was given, and sold him for more than: tbe plaintiff got for him. In my judgment, ;lie Court below erred in overruling the motion for a new trial in this case. Cantrell & Kiker, D. A. Walker, for plaintiff in error. Wm. II. Dabney for defendant. Thomas J. Thornton, plaintiff in error, vs. Jesse McLendon, defendant In error. .Complaint, from Troup. BROWN, C.J. As the evidence'iii the case was insuffi cient to prove tlie insanity of the plaintiff, who was a witness for himself, and no rule of law was violated by the court below, this Court will not reverse the judgment refus ing to grant a new trial. ■ Judgment affirmed. Speer & Speer, for plaintiff in error. B. H. Bigham, (by Thomas Whitaker) Ferrill, Hammond & Bro n for defendant. Professor Robinson originated and car ried out a novel idea in the Assembly-room of the McIntosh House, Indian Spring, on tbe evening of the 4th. A dance for the championship was the feature of the even ing. A number of competitors entered— among whom were some well known, citi zens of Macon, who are “chasing dnil care away” at thc Spring. After a fair trial the belt was awarded to Uncle John Cpten, upon whose head the frosts of eighty-five winters have fallen. The work on the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad is progressing finely, and giving general satisfaction. President Breton is undoubtedly the man for the position he nowholds, and too much cannot be said of him as a thorough busi ness man.

J. uarxond, supreme court REPORTER.] Michael Fricks, plaintiff in error, vs. Ar chibald Miller, defendant in error. Com plaint from Gordon, BROWN, C. J. Tbe officers of a company in tho Confed erate service, purchased a horse for Miller, a member of the company to ride into ser vice, from Fricks, the plaintiff. Miller died, and the officers turned over the horse to thc defendant, who was the father of the deceased, who sold him lor more than the officers gave Fricks for him. Fricks, in 1866. sued the officers for the price or the horse, and obtained judgment for the amount. Tbedelendant in the judgment then referred the plaintiff’s attorney to Miller, thc present defendant, as the person who was to pay the "Judgment. He ad mitted his liability, and gave the note now sued on, in payment of the judgment, with the understanding that if the Legislature jassed any law “killing old debts,” he was ;o have tbe same benefit as if the note had not been given by him: • ■ , Reid. That the satisfaction of the judg ment against the officers, was a sufficient consideration to support the note, which is the foundation of this action, and that no act passed bv thc Legislature would have relieved the'defendant if -no note had been given, and lie is. therefore, liable. When a suit was brought since the war in tbe courts of this State, recognized by the Government of the United States, it was the defendant’s duty to appear and make his defense; and if he foiled to do so, and perml '-d judgment to go againsthim upon a note, the consideration of which was illegal, he will not afterward be heard to deny the validity of the judgment, unless he can show that there was fraud, illegali ty, or error of law in obtaining the judg ment.

The Milledgeyilje papers call upon all the journals in Georgia, id favor of re moving tho Capital hack to Milledgeyille, for the delendant’s son to ride as a mem her of a cavalry company in the iate war, and gave their note for the horse; that the plaintiff knew for what purpose the horse was purchased; that the defendant’s son died, and after his death, the horse was turned over to the defendant, who sold him for more than the plaintiff got for him. After the war, the plaintiff sued Collins and the other makers of the note given for the horse, and obtained judgment thereon in 1866. Tbe note now sued on was given by the defendant in payment of that judg ment to thc plaintiff, and the question is, whether that judgment constituted a legal i consideration for tbe Spencer Marsh, ot al, plaintiff in error, vs. A.

Action for rent from Fulton. BROWN, C.J. A contract for rent, made in 1SG4, like any other contract, is subject to the scaling ordinance of 1866, and the rule laid down in section 2267 of tbe Code: that the de struction of the tenement by tire, or the loss of possession by any other casualty, not caused by the landlord, or from defect of ills title, shall not abate tbe rent con tracted to' be paid; must be construed in connection with the scallngordinancc, and subject under it, to the right of the defend ant, to give in evidence the consideration of thc rent notes, and the value thereof at any time. As the tenement rented was destroyed by tlie Federaliarmy, during the period for which it was rented, and as it is tbe con sideration ot tbe rent notes, tbe defendant has the rialit to give in evidence its value, after the destruction, as well as at any other time and thc jury upon the whole evidence may ad j ust tbe equities between the parties. Judgment affirmed. McCay, J- concurred, WARNER, J., dissenting. This was an action broughtby the plain tiff against the defendant on a rent con tract, made on the 2d day of May, 1864, for the rent of a store and warehouse, in the city of Atlanta, for the term of eight months. The defendant plead, in his de fense to the action, that he had been de prived of tho possession of the premises by reason of the occupation of Atlanta by the Federal army, and the destruction of the property rented by fire. On the trial of the case, the plaintiff demurred to that por tion of the defendant’s plea, and moved the court to strike it out, which motidn the court overruled, and allowed the defend ant to prove the facts sc: forth in that part of his plea. The plea and demurrer thereto presented tho naked question of law, whether the- facts stated therein consti tuted any legal defense to the plaintiff’s action: The 22G7th section of the Code de clares that “the destruction of a tenement by fife, or thc loss of possession by any casualty, not caused by the landlord, or from defect in bis title, shall not abate the rent contracted to be paid.” In my judgment, tbe defendant’s plea did not constitute any legal defense to the plaintiff’s action fop rent, and that the court below erred In overruling the de murrer thereto, and allowing the defend ant, on the trial, to prove the facts alleged in said plea. The defendant was hound in law to pay the rent stipulated in his con- traot, without any abatement on account of the casualties set forth in his plea. If the contract was a Confederate contract, then the ordinance of 1865, applied to it in the same manner as to other contracts, when payment was to be made in Confed erate money; hut the fact tbat the rent of the consideration, ’ should have done so on the trial, prior to me judgment. Judgment reversed. McCAY, J- concnrred. WARNER, J- concurring. This was a suit on a promlsory note made by the defendant on the 4th of November, 1867, for $175, due 1st of August after date. It appears from the evidence in the record othere^nrohas^hors^of^hfpfointiff waTto be paid in Confederate money did not alter or change the law as to the abate ment of the rent for auy of the casualties mentioned in the defendant’s plea, and the jury, on the trial, ougiit not to have been allowed to take into consideration any of those casualties, in abatement of tbp rent contracted to be paid- The abatement of thc rent agreed to be paid on account of the casualties specified in the defendant’s plea, was one question; thc scaling the amount of the rent note payable lq. Confederate curreny under the ordinance of 1863, was another and distinct question; and the error consists in this, that the court below allowed that which was illegal to he mixed, up with that which was legal, and to be submitted to tho jury for their considera tion. In my opinion, the judgment of the Clarke & Grubb, plaintiffs In error, vs. Catherine Valentino, defendant in error. Complaint, etc., from Fulton. BROWN, C. J. A married woman, whose husband has deserted her and resides in another State, separate from her, lias tho right to contract and be contracted with, and to sue and be sued, as a femme sole. When, after such desertion by tho hus band, tho wife, prior to the adoption of the Code contracted to pay a debt due by the husband, in consideration that tho creditor would not proceed to attach his property in her hands, she is liable. And in caso judg ment is obtained against' her on the con tract, her separate property, acquired du ring the separation, or otherwise, is subject to its payment; provided, in Case the sepa rate estate is given to her by deed or will, that the donor has not imposed by tho in strument any such restrictions upon her power of alienation, as deny to her the right to sell or bind it for tho payment of the husband's debts. If she holds thc prop erty by deed or will, she holds it subject to such conditions or restrictions os the donor may have imposed. Judgment reversed. Warner, J., concurred. McCay, J., dissented.

If ho had a good legal defense thereto and failed, by his own laches, to plead it, and the judgment was right, under the case as made, it is not an illegal judgment in the sense of those words as used in the Constitution of 1S68. 2. It is the duty of the plaintiff in error to bring up the whole record of his case to this Court, and when there was a motion to set aside a judgment on the ground that the consideration of the debt sued on, was a horse, to be used in the Confederate ser vice, and the court below, on proof, grant ed the motion, and the plaintiff in the judgment excepted, but failed to bring up any record of the judgment, or even to show Its date: - Reid, That in favor of the decision of the court below, this court will presume, either that the judgment was obtained during the war, when such a plea would not have been allowed, or if slnco the war, on an erroneous ruling of the court against the plea. j Judgment affirmed.

When the motion for a new trial came on to be heard, said protempore Judge refused to hear it, on theground that he bad no power to bear it, as the presid ing Judge of the Circuit bad resigned his office, there was no longer any disqualift, cation existing: Reid, That tbe Superior Courts of this State are createi) and organized by the Constitution and laws thereof, and continue to exist, whether judges be appointed to preside therein or not; that a protempore Judge, selected under the provisions of the Code for thcjtrialofacase, may exercise all the functions of a Judge of the Superior Court in that care; that Ills functions as such protempore Judge in that case, con tinue and extend to tbe hearing of a mo tion for a new trial in thc case beard and tried before him as such protempore Judge, although the presiding Judge of the Cir cuit may have resigned his ollice; that such protemporc Judge derives ills authority to hear and determine that special oaso from the law, and not from the presiding Judge of the Circuit, and having acquired juris diction to bear and determine the case un der the law, his functions as such protem- E uro Judge continue until he shall have Heard and decided thc motion for a new rtrial in that'ease, notwithstanding the pre siding Judge of the Circuit may have re signed bis office before the hearing of the motion for a new trial; and that it was error for said protempore Judge to- refuse to hear and determine the Motion for a new trial upon the statement or facts contained! in the record.

When a defendant was indicted for an assault with intent to murder, and found (ullty, a motion was made in arrest ot , udgment, on tho ground that the offense was not sufficiently set forth in the indict ment to authorize a judgment to be ren dered thereon. The allegation in thc in dictment is, that tbe defendant, on the 19th day of December, 1869, with force and arms, in said county, with a certain pistol, of the value of ten dollars, said pistol being a weapon likely to produce death, in and upon one Emanuel Mann, in tho peace of God and said State, did then and there, unlawfully, willfully, feloniously, and of his malice aforethought, make an assault, and him, the said Emanuel Mann, then and there, unlawfully, and with his malice aforethought, beat, wound and ill-treat, witii thc intent him, thc said Emanuel Manu, then and there to kill and murder, contrary to the laws of said State, etc. The evidence had on tbe trial is not con tained In the record. Tbe 4293d section of the Code declares, that “An assault with intent to murder, by using any tccapon likely to produce death, shall be punished,” etc. The allegation is, that the defendant beat and wounded thc said Emanuel Manu with a pistol, the same being a weapon likely toproducedeath.

Editors Constitution: It is my purpose to give you a letter from this flourishing town every week, and perhaps oftenor, a3 you have many readers here, and In this section of the State, though remote from tiro capital, and as The Constitution is the people’s paper throughout tbo length and breadth of the Commonwealth; in fact, all the State news of vital interest comes from the great centre and fouutain source, Atlanta, lor the people of Georgia, and I can’t see, sir, how you can supply the de mand lor your paper, even In Georgia alone; (or it seems that every one, from the mountains to tbe seaboard, would he eager to read every issue of it. To-day Is the “ big day” of all the days of tho year—4th of July not excepted— with the people of Forsyth. It is com mencement day of Mouroe Female Insti tute—the gala day for ail our people—for tho old as well as theyouug—the fresh-mcn and the graduate, the matron and thc sire, the young men, and the horses and bug gies, all—all vie with each other to cele brate the day. It Is the Thanksgiving, Easter and all other good days of the year concentrated into this one great day with us here. As I write early this morning for my let ters to go off on the nine o’clock train, 1 shall have to defer giving you an account of the exercise of to-day until to-morrow. Although they have nut begun, they will have transpired before this readies you, and I will endeavor to give you uninter esting account of them.

IVc can raise all the money the trustees want to erect build ings, and for other purposes. We will give them one hundred and thirty acre* of land, and one of tho finest sites for a college in tbo land, and, to use a common-place expression, a “sightly” one at that.

Wen,, sir, wc have ouu in the most flourishing female colleges here in the South, and with Mercer, excuse me again, we will liavo the most desirable town in Georgia. The examination at the college has been going on for several days, and tho proficiency of thc young ladies of the various classes ha3 been creditablu alike to themselves and the professors. Au in teresting and instructive feature of the ex ercises of this school is the reading, which, on this occasion, was very fine. Thc con cert came off last night, and Professor Beckter, with all the “ pride, anil pomp, and circumstance” of tho occasion, was in his glory. But 1 will give you an account of thc concert to-morrow, with tiro remain ing exercises of the school. We still have an abundance of rain in this favored section—in fact, there arc some places in this county where they haven’t suffered a day for rain this year. Thu crops of all kinds are very largo and for ward, and if the seasons continue thc farm ers will make as much as the land can yield, even with the aid of fertilizers, which were used here largely. There i3 a possibility, and perhaps n irobability, that thc cotton crop will be, at east, a failure. The weeds are large, thrifty and 8till growing, and with but little fruit, but few squares, and consequently, can have bnt few bolls. It is our opinion that there will be a short cotton crop this year. It would be best, though it would bank rupt nearly half thc peoploof Middle Geor gia. because of the immense amount of provisions and fertilizers purchased by them to make tiro present crop, or in truth, to fail with it. The farmers will learn a sad but beneficial lesson this year, one they should have known long ago, viz: that it will not pay to raise cotton to buy every thing else with. I venture that there will be more grain and grasses sown this fall in Georgia than has ever been before sinco the pio.neer levelled her primeval forests, and opened up her fertile soil to her hardy sons. The train is about to leave, and the rain begins anew for to-day. You will heat from yours, Often.
