The biggest job of the aersion received its
quietus ia Uio House on Friday. I refer to
the 6t. Croix Railroad land sterling scheme,
which Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, defeat! d
in the last Congress by his Duluth speech.
Undeterred by defeat, however, a lobby com
puted of ex-Congressmen and go-betweens,
Set to w't.rk this eestlon, and very iteariy suc
ceeded in geitine their hill through. But,
’>rery i.eariy" don't count, and the adoption

wns u Viu rlop defeat for the £t Croix ring
- The se.bstitu 1 '? provides that all (he lauds
granted MrCdpad i.-f lr-Ssand lStH.fortbe

Then: is no worse practical commentary
on tbd Radical carpet-bag governments than
that Scott, liovernor of South Carolina,
should harbor Blodgett against any legal de
mand of Ccnrgis authorities. Hiding under
Scott's protection, Biodgstt coolv parlies
with our investigating commlunet, and de
mands terms, under whoso protection only
he is to give any testimony on the fraud?.
He demands immunity from arrevt until
Conley’s pardon shall run the ordeal of the
courts. The committees ollbr to meet him
at Newberry, South Carolina, he decline?.
Tims lie dallies with justice under the eyes
of Scott’s Mack protection, and the law
seems poweilesa, A graver mockety of civ*
Hired government was never seen. Thank
God, it it an etclusive illustration of Radical
rule, and its very infamy may torch a lesson
for benedt hereafter, if not now.

Among other Democrats who voted nay

ss surprising.
The following editorial was crowded ott
yesterday:
Tuo Bond Coramlllae has hit on a very
eirious matter in connection with tl-csecond
State aid bill, giving $s,00l a mils in gold
b m is to the Brunswick and Albany Railroad
for which ft was to substitute sccon 1 mort-
gigo bonds of the road at $10,000 per mile.
This bill passed the Till of September,
1970. On the 19th of October it was reported
ear died by the Chairman of the Enrolling
C mmlttce, anl realy for the signatures of
lit presiding olfic-rs of the two Hons-’?.
Yet two day! before it was so reported en
rolled, viz: on tlw 17th of October, and two
slays betora it was ready fortlio sign;
tares of tha presiding officers of tha two
House, wlio-ti signatures are always
given before the Oovernor his the chance
to approve, the bilf bears the approval
of tha Governor. In other words, Bul
lock approved the bill before It was
signed by tbe presiding officers of the two
Houses, and even before the bill was en
rolled. In addition to this grave Irregularity,
Bullock notified the House oa the SS’h Octo
ber, eight days after he approved it, notifying
that booy that be had that day approved that
bilL
There was a gap of oversmonlb, viz: from
7lh September to 17lh October, between the
passage an l approval of the bill. This is
ascribed to the passage of a joint resolution
requiring that all bills tor State aid should
be withheld from the Governor until the
Legislature bad acted on all such bills. Yet
this joint resolution was only approved Oc
tober the 17th, the very day Bullock approved
the bill above referred to.
These irregularities raise a grave question
as to the validity of this law. It was iniqui
tous in its conception. It was itself a fraud
upon the State. It was an additional con
tribution of Slate help to so enterprise al
ready overaided. It was meant as a job at
the State's cost for the beaedt of a band of
corrupt schemers, without possibility of in
terest to the State. Itwae carried through
by bribery. And now, to add to all this, the
most serious irregularities in its passage are
discovered. What will be the effect of these
remains to be decided.

out of these eleven districts can be secured

disaffection widens tbe breach, and Illinois

The Democrats here favor the passive

Nor can General Logan be claimed by that

This was a bill filed by Maty A. Brown. {? e , P . r °fi P h ^ -‘ jf Stevyns .as tho agent of

but lbs principal ground insisted on was that
no contract was proved which would entitle
tiie complainant to a decree for a specific
performance of it, which motion was over-
ru’ed, and the defendants excepted.
Tbeacswer to the complainants bill denies
the alleged parol contract. The testator,
Wm. Brown, nude his wiil about ten days
before his death, and devised his lands, in-
during her life, and at her dea'li, to be sold
anti equally dl-iutrd between his children
named therein, one of whom was hb son
Warren. The evidence shows that the com
plainants iaieslate, was not in poscssion of
debts of said estate.
Tins deed was written by Judge Wright,
tiie father of Mrs. Shropshire, and the grand
father of her children who arc the plaintiff’s
in the ejectment suit, and was executed by
tiie [tarol contract for the sale of the land by
Win. Brown toj'lt- -fen Warren, which 1*
sought to have specifically perforate-1. To en
title the complainant to a decree for a spe
cific performance of the alleged parol con
tract between William Brown and Warren
Brown for the sale of the lot of land, tbe
contract inu-'t first lie established with rea
sonable certainty, and the consideration
claimed to have been paid or rendered, must
be clearly proved to have been pai I or ren
dered in putsuancoof that contraet. The con
sideration claimed to have been paid by the
complainant’s intestate for the lot of land,was
the damage and loss of six hundred dollars
sustained by him in removing front Alabama
to Georgia to attend to his father’s business.
Whether that sum was a full and adequate
consideration for the lot of land, the record
doer not inform us, as it contains no evi
dence of the value of the lot alleged to have
been contracted for. Tbe counsel for the de
fendants requested the court to charge the
jury: “That it docs not require as much evi
dence to defeat a specific performance of a
contract as it does to rcscipd a contract exe
cuted, and inadequacy of price or considera
tion, may justify the court and jury in re
fusing to decree a specific performance.”
Tbe court qualified the request by adding:
“If such, as to induce the jury to suspect im
position or fraud when the contract is be
tween father and eon, that fact may be con
sidered for what it is worth in connection
with the amount of consideration, and all the
other facts and circumstances to enable you
to determine whether this contract was fairly
and bona fide made and obtained, if nude at
all,” -
This qualification of tbe request by tbe
court to charge thejuty was error, and
especially so in view of the facta of this case,
there being no evidence of fraud or imposi
tion practiced upon the complainant's intes
tate. The increased value o: land, resulting
from the altered condition of our people, ad
monishes ns that the well established princi-
iles which govern courts of equity in decree-
ng the specific performar.ee of parol con
ing Hulls the title was good; Units naked.
Aim to write the the deed and paid him for
writing it. Thcretson why the deed was made
direct to Cleaves instead of to Hulls, was to
save stamps. Wesley Shropshire-, who wa
examine-1 as o w itness, states that Judge
Wright advised him to accept the money,
and pay Frank's debts; that he has paid nli
the debts with the money except one. In his
return to the Court of Ordinary, Wesley
Shropshire charges himself w.th the follow
ing receipt;
“Kiceivet December 2’, "862. of J. R
Steveu9 five thousand dollars in full, for tit"
pur-base of 1-’. C. Shrop hire's house ant:
lands oa tiie Calhoun roa- i, one and one-fourth
miles from tiie city of Rome, Ga.
-‘ tVe-nKT SHKOPsnntK,
“Adm’r of F. C. Shropshire, dec’d.”
The original receipt was read in evidence,
and proved to have been written by Judge

WARNER, C. J.
This case came before the court below on
an appeal from the assessment of damages
under proceedings instituted by the Selma,
Rome and Dalton Railroad Company under
the provisions of the charter of the company
to ascertain the damage done to H. M. Camp
of the county of Floyd, by the location of
tbe railroad on his hunt. On the trial the
jury found a -verdict for five hundred doliars.
A motion was mode for a new trial on the
pan of the railroad company which was

the Legislature' though t they had secured evidence is that five acres of land was taken
by tbe company, worth $125 00, tbe other
damage done to his property is proved to
have been fJ'O 00 making tbe entire actual
damage sustained $374 00. It is true that
the plaintiff states that bis mill which is lo
cated on another tract abont two hundred
rards from the railroad was injured $600 00
Hit in what manner the location of the Road
injured it Is not stated, except the losaof cus
tom, and that it cost him $1,100 00,
and he has soid it for $100 00
Nelma, the witness, testifies that the custom to
the mill decreased abont one-half after the
railroad wit built, and that Cump sold the
mill before the road waa finished, bnt after
the grading and change of the mill road. Tbe
damage dote to the mill, for which the plain
tiff is entitled to compensation, is the actual

If wc are to consider this case as being tried

that a large portion of such property was ap

similar movements already inaugurated in
Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennes

New York and other States, with a perfect
certainty that otiicrs will follow.
AU that is necessary for Democrats to do
at this juncture, is to leave the Radical party

accelerate its downfall, and might give it n
fresh lease of life. We jjave only to waick

will not press bis for sale. I would, there

ib.y may be within your conirol, and while
I lmvc no authority to authorize you to buy
them on State account. I will try r.u ! see to it

SPECIAL FLAVORINGS.
Th-.- rjieecU of Mr. Rigby in tee House on
Situr lay last wns more creditable to him than
tbe previous oratorical effort referred to in
this correspondence, in which be defended
and eulogised Utfiiock and the rest of the
carpet-hag ring which infested Georgia. On
Saturday he advocated, to the exu-nt of a
column and a half of the Globe, an appro
priation for a public building at Atlanta for
tlic us - of tee United Slates court, custom
house, post office, and internal revenue offices.
He gave official figures showing tec amount
of postal business done, a statement of tbe
internal revenue receipts, and referred to tee
■ales of merchandise, of stock, tec produc
tion of the large manufacturing establish
ments, and tee amount of cotton receipts.
He then made an exhibit of tee growth of
Atlanta, and of ill present population, aud
importance as the Capital of tee State. He
also called attention to tee fact teat the city
has tendered to tbe Government real estate
to the value of $50,660, on which to erect the
proposed building. In conclusion Mr. Bigby
said that Atlanta needs to be made a port of
entry, and wants a Custom House, and urged
the importance of providing a proper struc
ture for the use of tho courts and govern
ment offices.
