Among other Democrats who voted nay on the substitute, and wore for the original land stealing bill, I regret to see the names of DnBose, Prli c aud Young. That Itigby and Speer should have supported the measure is 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. AgrlcBlsnrml icea Mr.W. G.

It is sliown by the evidence that he came to hi* father’s, and lived there until liU fa-bet’s death, and Uiat his father said to Shropshire and others a day or two before his death, “ That his son Warren had come here to wait on him in his old age, and spent $609 00 Pi come, and he wanted to make him whole, and wanted Shropshire to sre that his son, War ren, have a good title to his lower iol of land, la title they can’t jostle him in.” Kirby states that Ward, one of the executor* of Mr.l Brown, in a discussion with him about hi* Sf„ patcraal .? n ?.? fa ? er , of tte children, defense said thal-behad no doubt some uu- , Uiat Hf d “J fas prepared by deiManding. aa is state. 1 in the hill, existed JgdCf Wright, and hsnded to him by Judge between the oldmun Brown and his son War- Wifait, who assured him the deed was good ren, but Warivu had no writing, and his wife “ P» rfect »° cleav «- and children coo’d not liold it This h mb- ?

Those were happy days and we shall ever recur to them with feelings of pleasure. Thi* is, according to the Almanac, thebe- ginning of spring. Hut it looks like mid winter hero. We bad a fall of five inches of snow yesterday, and it is bitter cold Tne parties here are marshaling their forces for the coming c irupaign. Disaffection is ap parent to the most casual ob-erverin the Re- nubi.-aa rttai.it Thu German veil*, in the ui.iin, d-imiuite lie disitV.-.-p-.i element Va- nm-.s causes have conspired io produce this state of aTiira. Tiio present Itepti'ilioan Leg- i-iatu.e wnntc-i the I'lin temperance law, tviiiPh is quite distasteful to the German pop ulation. I hey are the principal grape grow ers an d i re likewise largely engaged ill brew ing h;.-. ':eer, etc. As this law operates ad- errselv to tlieir interests it Is natural that they should feel indignant. They have held pri mary meetings ami have resolved not to vole any Republican or support any who either Toted for or supports the bill. . . Again, Mr. Sehniz wields an extensive in fluence among this people. He may not “cany the German vole in his pocket, but I assure you that no man oa this continent is more idolized by the Germans than be. eleven 'out of the sixteen Congressional district*. Despite their efforts some six out of these eleven districts can be secured against Grant by a change of less than fifteen hundred votes. Added to this, Trumbull’s disaffection widens tbe breach, and Illinois may be safely* set down as lost to Grant, pro vided the Circinnali Convention nominates a rasn who has the reputation of a statesman. The Democrats here favor the passive policy. “ Masterly inactivity " it their watch word. They will support the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention, and rely upon schisms in the Republican ranks to carry a majority of the Congressional dis tricts. I verily believe that a majority of the next delegation from Illinois will be Democratic. It Is net certain that even Gov ernor Palmer will support General Grant Nor can General Logan be claimed by that party with certainty. However, be is a politi cal weathercock, and will ton about with the popular breeze. He is an adroit trickster and plays his cards to win. If Grant should prove to be a trump he will support him, otherwise he will not. He has so far been shrewd enough not to commit himself. This is of itself significant These are opinions formed honestly, which may cr may not prove to be true. More anon.

On WARNER, C J the 18ih of November, 1802, Huits purchased This was a bill filed by Maty A. Brown. {? e , P . r °fi P h ^ -‘ jf Stevyns .as tho agent of administratrix <.f Warren Brown, ngaint the r " u Barop! 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 Wright os well as the bond, who was the legal adviser of the administrator. The return also Shows the payment of debts of such a parol contract for the sale of the lot of land in controversy as would authorize the i-otirt and jury to tie-.fee a specific perform- tnee of it accor.'icg to tbe tvdl recognized principles by which conrta of equity are 'vetoed and er-n’roiled ia such cases. Let the judgment of th.e court below be reversed. Win. II. Dabney, for plaintiff in error. J. W li. L’iu tr-vood, rant, a. The Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Com- pany vs H. M. Camp. Right of wsy from Floyd. 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 In the re cent gerrymandering of thi* State (-overruled and tlic company excepted. The 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.

The parol contract in this case for the sale of the land was mad by Shropshire through his agent; Stevens', tiie purchase money for tiie land was paid by Hulls, and a'cepted by Shropshire, agent for him; there was a'per- formance on one side aud an acceptance by the other in accordsace with the contract; and it would be a fraud on Holts and those claiming under him not to compel a specific K rformancc of the contract which the jury, _ their vcrdict,have done in this case The verdict of the jury Is in accordance with the well established principles by which conrts of equity are governed, in decreeing the spe cific performance of parol contracts within the statute of frauds.

If wc are to consider this case as being tried according to the well established principles which govern conrts of equally in enforcing the specific performance of parol contracts for the sale of land, then there was manifest error in the charge of tbe court to the jury. But the charge of the court does not ap pear to have hurt the defendants, for the jnrv nothwithstanding the errora in the charge of the coart have returned ap equitable verdict Tbe effect of their verdict it the enforcement of tbe parol contract made between Halts and Stevens as the agent of F.

It is true the jury in the exercise of their discretion have de creed the land to the plaintiffs, bat they have decreed at the some time that Huits, or those claiming under him, are entitled to be first paid tbe purchase money which the ancestor of the heirs received for the sale of the land, and which has been applied to the payment of his debts.

A mortgage t.f a stock of goods under section 1944 of Irwin’s Code cannot, by sub sequent purchase and addition of new goods to such stock, be made’to cover an amount greater ia value than the original stock mort gaged. 2. A levy of a mortgage fi. fa. on personal property, more than sufficient in value to pay it off, is pritna fade a satisfaction. The fact that a large portion of such property was ap plied tor plaintiff and defendant in ti. fa, by way of compromise of the claims of other creditor* of defendant, will not nffect the right of contesting creditors, or claimants to have the fl. fn. credited, so far as their rights „ are concerned with the value of. ail the Prod ” c tio n property levied on. 3. Such contesting creditors and claimant* are entitled to have the fi. fa. credited with the value of the property at the time of levy. Snbsequent depreciation, nrisinu from un skillful handling of the goods, (by tnrUes other titan the contesting creditors or claim ants,) while under the control of the Sheriff or piainliff, should not be deducted from the amount to be credited on the fi. fa. 4. Under the usual issue formed in a claim case, it is not competent for the plaintiff in fi. fa. to have an accounting between the claimant and the defendant in fi. fa., and to have the verdict so moulded os to subject to liis debt any amount, which might be found in the hands of the claimant, belonging to h> defendant; even where such sum may have been paid by defendant to claim- kit in part payment for an amount of goods, (a part jot which are tiie subject matter of controversy,) which had been sold by claimant to defendant, but which sale claimant lud elected to rescind, >because of fake representations by defendant at time of sale; especially when the claimant, on Ills election to reacted the contract, tendered the money received by him to defendant iu fi fit., and which the lat ter refused.

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.
