There U, however, an improved aspect of

the experience of any of the oldest finan

freely paid on governments and the mast

I am urging Mr. Kimball, therefore, to
move vcit cautiously between now and April

us to dircouut. Further advises come from
tho Philadelphia YVorks. with a similar prop
osition iu regard to $2t,OOJ a liich they hold.
These figures and prospective obligations
ate too large uot to occasion surprise and

“ YVe arc uutvilUng to increase our ad

The following statement will show the
condition of our advances assuming the value

condition of Southern securities is much too
high n valuation:
$:,050,000 bonds at 90c $1,485,GO >, against

amount to $l;S00,f.00—this includes our lia

The abovo la a most significant letter.
Clewa was sharp enough to see that Bullock
had no business to be ordering him to pay
State Road claims, and so seeks to get pay
ment from the Treasurer of what claims he
had met at Bollock's request
July.8th, Clews writes Bullock that he
wants official statements to give Henry Schu
ler, brother-in-law of the proprietor of the
Frankfort Zeitung in Germany, to help the
Georgia securities In Europe. The pith of
suca statements to be as follows:
“We have stated to him that but few of the
new roads hereafter will be commenced and
built, calling for the State aid, as the aid is
so small, $10,003 to $12,000 per mile, (being
not more than half the amount required to
build them) they would find it more advan
tageous to issue- their own first mortgage
from $20,000 to $39,000 per mile. It would
be well to maintain this in your statement
Your statement will be published in the Ger
man papers, and in no way used on tlsii tide."
Mark the trick and deception in this.
November 4, 1870, Clews writes to Acting
Governor Conley, paying homage to the
rising sun, congratulating him on hb acces
sion to the Governor’s chair, complimenting
him, begging him to stand up to Bullock's
bonds and them, and using this remarkable
paragraph, which will alike surprise and de

This was an action brought by the plaintiff
as an attorney at law, against the defendant
for professional services. The declaration
contained two counts, one an alleged special
contract to pay him fire hundred dollars for
his services in the particular law case, and
tbe other was on an account stated. On the
that our interests demand that we should re- trial of the case, the jury found a verdict for

gia. Tbe execution was levied on the
property described in the affidavit by the
Sheriff Afterwards an affidavit was filed by
Porter, claiming to be the owner of the
premises on which the fixtures ware erected
with the lumber furnished by the plaintiffs
to Mobley, denying their lien for the follow-
ing reasons: that Mobley held the premises
under a bond for title from him;
that he it tbe legal - owner ot the
same, that no part of the purchase
money therefor had been pehl, that about
the 1st December, 1870, the contract for the
•ale of the land between him and Xobly was
rescinded, he taWm; up hia bond, first pay ing
to a petty to whom Mobly had pledged his
bond, the sum of $599,95, when Mobly gave
up to Porter Ml right and claim to the prem
ises. On .-tbe trial ot the case it was agreed
by the respective parlies to submit the ques
tions involved in it to the presiding Judge
without 'the intervention of R jury. The
counsel for Porter made a motion to dismiss
plaintiff's affidavit,because it was not alleged
therein that their steam saw mill was located
in the Stale of Georgia, and because the affi
davit of tbe plaintifl's did not state on whom
tho demand for payment was made. The
court overruled the motion to dismiss plain
tiffs affidavit, and on motion of plaintiffs coun
sel dismissed Porter’s affidavit cn tho ground
that he had no right to arrest the proceedings
under the plaintiffs fi fa in the manner which
he sought to do, whereupon tho defendant,
Porter, excepted.
In our Judgment, the plaintiffs should have
made a demand of payment for the lumber,
not only of Mobley, to whom the lumber was
furnished, but also of Porter, the assignee of
Mobley, if hu was in possession of tlie prem-
i-cs on which the fixtures were erected with
their lumber which had not been paid for,
and should have alleged a refusal to pay for the
same on the part of both. As these summary
remedies, arc to be strictly construed, the
plainUfliH&OulJ have alleged in their affidavit
that their steam saw mill was located in the
ttatc of Georgia, inasmuch as the lien is only
given to the owners ot steam saw mills loca
ted in tjii9 Slate by the Act of 1853 and the
amendatory Act'of 1870. If a demand had
beenmade on Porter for payment of tholum-
ber, aud payment had been refused with an
averment licit he was in possession of the
premises, then he would have been a proper
party to have made a counter affidavit con
testing the plaintiff's lien.

When a railroad company, by its agents,

that station that he may gel off the cats. It
is not sufficient that the speed of the can is

speed of the cars is again slacked that the
passenger may get off, aud under the dircc-
tion of the conductor he does get off, and in an
doing gets injured, the company is liable. It

Haaiy Clewa aad fete Letters.
The batch of letters wo gave yesterday of
Henry Clewa forms a very conclusive body
of evidence against him, the stronger that he
himself is the witness.'
The following set of facts to clearly estab
lished;
L Mr. Clews wanted an official statement
for use abroad from Mr. Tweedy, as Speaker
of the Georgia House of Representatives, de
nying Dr. Angieriastatements, when Mr. Mc
Whorter was the Speaker.
S. He boasts that he had, by some means
which he doe* not state, obtained the control
of the entire press of New York and vicinity
•gainst tbe publication of any articles to tha
damage of hh Georgia bond schemt. ~ x * R^ne.r-I to Crop, prodtawd ia rirawgta,
•rating on himself.
t. He had induced a number of the editor*
of Democratic papers in Georgia to .eeate
their attacks ou Bullock’s financial plotr,
How this was obtained to not explained.
A He owns to eraiy specie, of comm racial
juggling in otdar to gat tha bonds of the Stats
on the stock board in New York. He em
ployed bogus bidders, among other tricks.
S. He owns to having tried to deceive
young Angier in regard to Bullock’s order'to
him not to give Angier any information. He
quibbled on words to dupe Angier, stating
that he withheld tho tact of Bullock's order,
and used language that would rcfleSt favor
ably on Bollock.
$. He paid State Road acconnta which be
pleads to Gov. Bullock, according to bis un
derstanding of the law, were clearly charge
able to the revenue in the State Treasuiy.
This knowledge of the law and his partici
pation ia his violation with Bullock ia vety
damaging to him. The farther fact that he
sought to push these claims which he had
paid against the State Treasury, instead’ of
inserting them in his regular account, tut
confirms the esse against him.
7. He tried to get Bullock to make a state
ment for use in Europe, not to bo used on
this side of the water, that was a deception,
and that Bullock nor anybody else knew, viz;
that no more State aid would be used. This
was to “bail” the foreign market for .Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad bonds.
9. He fought Angler for mouths in the
battle between Bullock and Angier, yet
invites •ctingGuvmii'r Conley that bo has
never prcleuiltd to form an opinion of tbe
merits of the controversy,
9. He declines to make any explanation of
his possession of the cumney bonds in the
present condition ot public opinion. Iledots
this under pretense of regard for Georgia's
good fame. This delay la a powerf ul suspi
cion against tbo good faith of Clews.
10. Tbe whole correspondence beers irre
sistible testimony to the fact of Clew’s direct
complicity with Bullock in tbo frauds on the
State’s fiaanccs.

shows that he is in some way prejadiced

conversation of defendant about which he is
called to testify, is no ground of objection to

9,000 year before.
The course of prices may he dow: wards

The Herald publishes an Erie exhibit,
which shows there has been a treipumjous
increase in all departments where frauds
could be perpetrated since 1807, tuo time

$169352 43. The general superintendence
amounted to $113,46151 in l‘67,sud in 1870,
Jim Fisk's year, it jumps to $tQ7,2tM 28.
The issue of stock ascended t.aq $25,-
000,000 to $8Q,000,000, and of (hit sutq there

nious way liy those who have had access to
the Erie books. Tho item ot “agents and
clerks” which in 1867 was $011,711 93, in
creased until in 1871 there was $1,173 029 22.
The increase for conductors, baggage masters
