changes to the East or Southeast.
The rains have not injured the cotton plant,
but it has grown so fast and is so full of sap
that a drought of several weeks would dam
age it some, causing it to shed part of its
fruit But as it is impossible fur tbe
large quantity of bolls and squares that are
now on the stalks to m lure, it will benefit
the crop to have part of them shed off, also
this hot dry weather will atop the ravages of
the caterpillar and boll worm. So those
that expect serious damage to the crop from
a short spell of hot dry weather may be mis
taken.
Knowing the aversion of many of oar
readers, and looking at the bear side of cot

now do so, even if it does subject us to

From all parts of tbe South the reports are
cotton is splendid. Spinners have bought
so little lately that the quantity of cotv n in
sight has increased from 18,000 bales per
week for our own spinners’ use, six weeks
ago, to 23,000 bales per week for the remain
ing five weeks of this cotton year. Is not
tha an abundance? Notwithstanding some
of oar usually well infoimed cotton men
say there will be a scarcity very soon.' Also,
the American cotton in sight for Liverpool
has increased from 27,000 bales per week up-;
til November 1st; six weeks ago to 32,000
bales per week for tbe remaining fourteen
weeks. We make this supply in the follow

This is an application for an injunction.
The case stands upon the bill and exhibits.
The allegations are substantially these: On
the lit of January, 1870, Foster Blodgeti
gave bond as Superintendent of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and complainants, and
others, became his sureties. P.lodgett entered
upon the duties of the office, and he con-
tinned to be Superintendent until the office
was abolished. At its session 1871-2 the
Legislature of the State appointed a commit
tee to investigate the management of the
road, and the management of its finances.
That committee investigated the actings of
Blodgett, and allege that he has in his bands
unaccounted for $23,321 97, a copy of the
account. being exhibited with the bill. It
does not appear by the account that the
sums mentioned are of the savings of the road.
Nor does it appear to be tbe true account
which baa been made np or caused to have
been made up by the Superintendent, but it
“ia pcrdicated upon defalcation, arising, if at
all, in embezzlements from said road, and do
not appear to be the earnings thereof,” as
Superintendent Blodgett Las never sold, st
public outcry, after advertisement, any of the
road, nor received any of the proceeds of
such sales. The i ommittee have no authori
ty to make report to the Com j droller Gene
ral authorizing him to issue execution against
Blodgett ana his securities. On the 23d day
of May, 1872, the committee made om
iLe account lief ore mentioned, and transmit
ted it to the Comptroller General of the State,
ordering him to issue executions again-t
Blodgett and securities for $20,000 (the pen-
ulty of the bond.) with twenty per cent per
annum from January 1, 1871. That officer,
upun that authority, on tbe 29th May, 1872,
issued an execution avainst Blodgett and his
securities, for $20,000, and a copy of the exe
cution is exhibited. It was placed in the
hands of defendant who levied it upon the
property of complainants. Complainants
presented an affidavit of illegality which the
defendant returned with notice that
be should disregard it, and is proceed
ing to sell. The affidavit of illegality is
exhibited with the bill.
Do the complainants in this bill make a
case that entitles them to the interposition of
the powers of a Chancellor? This is an ap
peal to the extraordinary powers of the Court,
and the plaintiffs are bound to make out a
case showing a clear necessity for its exercise.
It is important to ascertain what relation
Faster Blodgett bore to the State. The West
ern and Atlantic Railroad is the property ex
clusively of the State. The Superintendent
was the chief officer. Before entering on his
duties, he gave bond and security in the sum
of $20,000, and the bond was filed and re
corded in the office of the Comptroller Gen
eral. He had authority to conduct all the
operations of the road connected with its re
nin, equipment and management, including
ta financial affairs; to sue officially for any
claim doe the State on account of said road;
to see that the books and accounts of the
road were so kept as at all times to show
accurately its official affairs; to sell useless
iron after thirty days’ notice, for cash or credit;
to have weekly settlements with ail fiscal
agents of the road, for all moneys received
by them. Each agent having funds of the
road was required to make out monthly and
sign a statement of bis account, and any
officer or agent failing to pay over fnnda col
lected by Urn weekly, or failing to furnish
the Superintendent with a monthly statement
was to be dismissed by him. When such
dismissal took place an account was to be
had at once of all the freight on hand.giving
the person dismissed a credit therefor so as
to show the amount of hia indebtedness.
Section 906Revised Code is this: “As soon
as an agent or any other person having funds
of the road unaccounted for, is in default,
and fails to pay over said funds on demand
made by the Superintendent, or by his au
thority, or shall abscond or conceal himself,
or in any other way evade or prevent a set
tlement, said officer shall promptly cause the
true amount due by such person to be ascer
tained, and transmit the same to the Comp
troller General as earnings of the road, stating
also the date of the default.”
The bonds of ail the officers and agents
were to be lodged in the Comptroller Gen
eral’s office. All debtors to the load were as
debtors to the Stale or public, and “ the rem
edy of the Slate against the Superintendent,
the Treasurer, Auditor and other officers and
agents, is the same as against Tax Collectors
or Receivers.”
The net proceeds of the ro id were to be
paid monthly into the State Treasury, and
were oneof the sources from which the State
does or may derive revenue other than by tax
ation.
From this general statement of the various
sections of the Code which arc applicable to
the matter of inquiry, X may assume as being
incontrovertible, th .1 tbe Superintendent as
the chief officer of the road had the general
management of all its affairs, lie had [lower
to receive or collect money belonging to it,
and when so received, it was bis duty to pay
it to the Treasurer, and to have the transac
tion appear on appropriate books, to be kept
for that purpose. The books anil accounts
of the road could not, “at all times, show
accurately Uie fiscal affairs,” if they failed to
disclose an amount of money that might be
in the Superintendent's hands. Complainants
undertook, in their bond, that Blodgett
should have these books kept and that he
should pay into the Treasury the money that
be received. It is conditioned in the bond,
as appears from the statement of the public
officer who ia charged with its custody, that
Blodgett should “well and truly perform all
tbe duties required of him by law, and well,
truly and faithfully account for ail moneys
and property that might come to his hands,
by virtue of his appointment, and do all
other acts required of him, in said office,
cording to Uw and the trust reposed in him.”
It is farther indisputable, that, for a failure to
do hia duty, the State had the same remedy
against him—whatever that might be—that it
had against Tax Collectors or Receivers. Thai
is the express language of the law. The reme
dy against a Tax Collector is an execution
from the Comptroller General against him
and his sureties, for the amount of his de
fault At this point a question of difficulty
arises. How is the Comptroller General to
be advised of the amount of the Superintend
ent’s indebtedness? As to all the other offi
cers and agents there is no trouble. It
was the duty of the Superintendent to ascer-
tain and transmit the amount as prescribed by
section 996. But that section does not apply
to the Superintendent. It contemplates, on
one aide, an agent or any other person in de
fault, failing to pay on demand or evading or
preventing a settlement, and on the other
aide the Superintendent making tbe demand,
and on failure to get a settlement, ascertain
ing the amount and transmitting it to the
Comptroller General. The Superintendent
is in the section, on one side, the collecting
side. He may be taken out of that; bat the
difficulty lies in patting him on the other side.
Changing the collecting agent would not en
large tbe meaning and scope of the other
pan of the section. It would remain as be
fore, and if, in the beginning, it did not em
brace the Superintendent, he would not then
be embraced.
I think it is true that the Superintendent
undertook to faithfully acconnt for the pab-
lic money and property; that on bis failure
to do ao the Comptroller General was required
to issue an execution for the amount of the
default, and that there waa no express pro
vision of law prescribing the mode of in
forming the Comptroller General of the
amount. And thus the Uw stood when
the office of Superintendent was abolished.
It is better to pause here and look more
closely into the remedy that the State has.
It is precisely that which it bos against Tax
Collectors or Receivers.
By section 911 of the Code, “if any Col
lector shall fail to settle hisaccounts with the
Comptroller Genera] in the terms of the law
he shall issue execution against him and his
sureties for the principal amount with the
penalty and costs.” Section 914 is in these
words: “Executions so issued shall not be
suspended or delayed by any judicial inter
ference with them, hut the Governor may
suspend the collection not longer than the
next meeting of the General Assembly.”
This remedy against the Superintendent is
an exeention from the Comptroller General’s
office against him and his sureties, and when
there can be no judicial interference, from
the making of the demand of the tax-payer
until it goes into the State Treasury. II the
citizen fails to pay, the CoHsctor makes him
do so; if the Collector fails to pay it over
after he gets it, the Comptroller-General
makes him and his securities do so. It is not
because the money arises directly from taxa
tion; there is no peculiar charm in the word
ttxes, it is beeanse it is a part of the revenue
of the State. The principle applies to the
public revenue, no matter feyn what source
it arises.
This stitnte, on its face, contemplates a
case iu which wrong may be done to the in
dividual against whom the process runs. It
says that the process shall-grptst, shall do its
work without interference, and “the party in
jured shall be left to bis proper remedy in
any court of law,” etc. Judge Nisbct, in
Gledney vs. Davis. 8th Georgia Reports 484,
in speaiting of the lien of taxes on property
says: “Tbe State must have her revenue at
all hazards, hence these various stringent pro
visions of the law to res’nin judgment.
Prompt collection is as necessary as a lien
* * * * To collect her taxes.
theSt.tc turns with uncontrolable potter di
rectly and iustantauo iusly upon the property;
and if in the exercise of this stern bat neces
sary attribute of soverignty the citizen is in
jured bis only redress is to petition to the
Legislature.” In Eve va the Statc,21st Geor
gia Reports, the Supreme Court by Judge
Benning, say; wbeiher. a claim for
taxes is to be exacted or not is a question
every where so far as I know, for the Execu
tive not for the Judiciary. If the Executive
exacts the clam and collects the money and
it turns out that the claim was unfounded the
government itself gives redress—sometimes
provides a mode by which redress may be
obtained through tbe courts. In every case,
however, the money claimed or tax bat first to
be paid. If this is not universally true it
certainly is generally true.
But suppose, although, it should appear, as
it does in this case, that the Comptroller
General has jurisdiction of the person and
subject matter, st 11 the courts can interfere
witn the execution, and determine whether
that officer proceeded regularly to the exer
cise of the jurisdiction, that is, that he ascer
tained the amount in the proper manner.
It must be remembered that no complaint is
made that the amount claimed is not due
from Blodgett. That is not denied in tbe
bill. There is no direct unequivocal denial
of the indebtedness in the affidavit of ille
gality. Then did tbe Comptroller General
ascertain the amount in a legal manner?
Execution has been issued.
It recites that it ia done on the authority
of a statement of Blodgett’s account, ascer
tained and made out by a committee of the
Legislature Complainants in that bill allege
a want of authority on the part of the com
mittee to ascertain and report the state of the
Superintendent's acconnt. Oneof the reso
lutions passed by the Legislature is in these
words:
“Resolved, etc. That the committee ap
pointed to investigate the management of the
Western ani Atlantic Railroad be directed
to ascertain and state the accounts of the
agents and other persona dealing with the
Western and Atlantic Railroad and compel
settlement of the same, and upon an amount’s
being ascertained as due the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, the State Treasurer be au
thorized to receive and receipt for the same.”
That committee state an account contain
ing seven items in this manner:
34,009 bales for stock and export. If this
is not a large supply it is enough to prevent j go issued it cannot be suspended or delayed
that market from advancing in face of the by gay judicial interference with it, but the
. — "— ;l —•' Governor may suspend it Such an execution
has been issued in this case and this bill'
filed to interfere with and suspend it
When the exeention ia issued by tbe Comp
troller General, and shows on its face juris
diction of tbe person and subject matter, has
a Judge the power to look into it and deter
mine whether it shall or shall not proceed ?
If it issues or isptoceeding wrongfully, but
is nevertheless within the jurisdiction, can
the judiciary interfere with it and suspend
orjueiay it ? Is the Executive alone entrusted
with that power? The complaint in this
case is net that the Comptroller General had
not jurisdiction of Blodgett and his sureties
and of tbe subject matter, but tbat be was
moved to the exercise of the jurisdiction im
properly.
It is a principle pervading our system that
the Slate in the collection of its revenue can
not, aa a role, be interfered with. It is the
duty of the Collectors, without judgment or
trial, to issue executions against defaulting
tax-payers, and section 3618 of the Code
reads as follows: “Noreplevin shall lie, nor
any judicial interference be had, in any levy
orduuvss for taxes under the provisions of
this Code, bat the party injured shall be left
to h<s proper remedy in any court of law
having jurisdiction thereof.” To force the
money from the pocket of tbe tax-payer, the
Collector is armed with the power of a pro
cess to collect, which, in the language o< Jndge
Nisbet, is the highest, in its direct efficacy,
known to the usage of Constitutional Gov
ernment. With the collection of this revenue

Egyptian cotton now in Liverpool than last

cotton in sigbtof all kinds is 310. .00 bales
more than last year this time. Just now

as there are always two sides to all questions,
we will State what may occur to alter this
state of affairs and pot cotton op much

which would cut off the cn.p 25 per

crop next month, or we may have killing
frost early in October, cither of these things
would cut short the crop and put the price
up. Acaio, our readers must jndge for
themselves what tbe prospects are for all or
cither of these things to take place. Just
now there is a little spurt up in Liverpool.
Spinners had run down their stocks to about
75,000 bales, and aa uplands were doll at

tbe general coarse of tbe market will be

little doubt. The cause of the increased re
ceipts this week, particularly at Savannah, is

Atlanta, Ga., July 29,1872.
Mr. Foster Blodgett, Superintendent of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad for the
year 1870, Dr. to the State of State of Geor
gia, 1870, June 3, to amount collected of the
Scofield Rolling Mill Company, on account
of old iron sold them, belonging to the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad.”
Five of them are of a similar character,
differing only in amount. Another is for
amount collected of the Post Office Depart
ment, United States; and the remaining item
is “to amount received of L P. Harris, Treas
urer, eta, of the funds belonging to the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, on pass bill
71, July 1870, in the name of J. C. Smith.”
They transmit this account to tbe Comp
troller General of tho State, and certify, “It is
ascertained by the Committee of the General
Assembly, etc., that there was due on the 1st
day of January, 1871, and is yet dne, the
State of Georgia, from Foster Blodgett,
Superintendent of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, for the year 1870, of the funds of
said Western ami Atlantic Railroad, in his
hands unaccounted for, the sum of $23,331
67-100,” on the foregoing statement of ac
count ; that said sum was received by the said
I oster Blodgett, as Superintendent aforesaid,
during tbe year 1810; that said Foster
Blodgett absconds and prevents a settlement
of said indebtedness. Tbis statement of in
debtedness is hereby transmitted to tbe
Comptroller General that execution issue, ac
cording to the statute in such case pro
vided, etc.”
The resolution required two things of the
committee: They were first to ascertain the
state of the accounts of agents and other per
sons dealing with the road, and second, to
compel settlement of the amount ascertained
to be due. flow were lliey to ascertain tbe
state of tbe accounts, and in what manner
were tbey to compel settlement?
Accounts wore to be kept on the books of
the road—tbe law required that. It does not
a ipear from this bill tbat tbe committee
changed a figure on those books, or Unit they
heard a word of testimony other than that
furnished by the iionks and papers of tbe
road, lt is argued that tbey did. It is said
by counsel Hint exjurte examinations of wit
nesses were had, and that hearsay testimony
and unauthorized opinions were received and
acted upon by tbe committee. It is not for
me to inquire what effect, if any, such an al
legation, bad it been made, would have bad.
It has not been made. There is no intima-
on in the bill of how the committee ascer
tain tbe amount. The presumption of law
that it was done rightly and properly, and
nothing whatever is alleged to tbe contrary
The certificate and account disclose nothing
more than an ordinary account of business
transaction. There is on the face of these pa
pers no other appearance of fraud than that
which may exist in law where one person
withholds the money of another.
How were they to compel settlement ? By
legal process. Just such means as the law
had provided, they were to adopt. They
could resort to the Comptroller General’s ex
ecution or to suit on the officeil bond. By
the Code, section 943, the bond of tbe Col
lector is not to be sued unless some emergen
cy should make it nccessarry. The execu
tion is tbe usual remedy and most be em
ployed, unless some emergency makes it ne-
cessaiy to resort to suit on the bond.
It is said that this is bard case, and that by
suffering this process to run its course, it
may do great injustice to complainants
The rcmedyjis a severe one, but every citi
zen of Georgia since tbe year 1804 has been
subject to it. That it is for a large amount,
does not effect tho principle. The remedy
lies with the Executive.
Complainants have failed in the bill to
make a case that entitles them to an injunc
tion.

and ringing. We commend it, as we have
had occasion to commend all of hia papers,
heartily.
His administration has been a solid bene

His words upon national politics arc pecu

the true spirit of the patriot and statesman.
There ia no unequivocal sound in his manly
utterances of purpose to stand to the party,
support its programme and candidate, and
work to oust Grant and his people in tlieir
policy of Southern oppression and central
tyranny from office.
Governor Smith has spoken well, and as
becomes a Democratic Governor of Georgia.

ment that taking him is a “bitter pill,” and he
is the “choice of evils.” It has been said;
until it has become an old song. Eveiybody
knows it. Its assertion is stale. Let it cease.
It docs no good. It was necessary in its
time, and represented a truth. It is now out
of place, and gives aid to the enemy. It
breaks the force of onr advocacy. It is
uunccessaiy as it is impolitic.
Whatever be the motive that lias impelled
Democrats to support Mr. Greeley, that sup
port is necessary to the great cause of con
stitutional government, ilsbould be given and
should be hearty and unqualified. It is not
manly to whine or look bock. It is weak
be always parading excuses and apologies.
It has never been onr habit, when in slight,
to waste words and time in discussing the
matters that put ns in, but to push the fight
whip it. That is our fix now. We are in
tbe melee. Right or wrong we are in it,
know from right, and we believe for right,
and we are going to do onr might to conquer.
It ia no question now to discuss whether
Greeley is a “ bitter pill” or a “lesser evil”
That la settled. The issue now is to defeat
Grant and bis tyranoy, stop Southern oppres
sion and restore Southern equality. Greeley
is the agent to do it. We are for Greeley,
therefore, with onr whole soul.

Remarks.—During the past week there
was a good deal of improvement experienced
in business circles. The general markets are
hopeful of a more titan usually active fall
trade. So far the crops promise to be bounti
ful and doub less the expectations of busi
ness men will be realized.
Cotton.—Wc find no quotable change in
this market. Wc quote nominal at 20}.
Financial —There is a growing cli
in local financial affaire. Money is becoming
igliter as it becomes scarcer. There ia barely
suflHcacy to meet the demand of business
transactions.
Bacon advanced one-fourth of a cent this
morning, end is sl-'l relatively lower hero
than in thc Western markets.
Flour is in large stock and dull.
Tobacco.—-Trade in this article has been
quite active during the past week. Stocks
are being increased nnd dealers ate relieved
of thc quietude that existed a few week*
back.
Hardware assumes the quietude that
usually prevails in litis department this season
of the year. Wc find no quotable change in
prices. There has been an advance in hard
ware in the markets of Germany and Eng
land. yet it docs not at preseat influence our
market.
Cotton Figures.—Tbe receipts of cotton
at all the port* up to 20th, as compared with
last year, give a total decrease of 1,249,020.
The exports foreign, as compared with last
yen-, exhibit a total decrease of 1,182,651
To domestic ports tbe exports show a de
crease, compared with last year, of 193,590
bales, and the stocks on hand at all the ports
show a decrease of 27,835 bales. Stocks
all the ports 1’5,805 bales, against 180,870
same time last year.
Cotton Chop.—Accounts from some of the
Sta’ca are a little less favorable than were re
ceived the previous week, yet not sufficient
to excite any particular alarm as yet The
Ute heavy rains did some damage to parte of
Louidana, Arkansas, Alabamaand Mississip
pi. The caterpillar has appeared in some
part* of the Mississippi bottoms. Also in
some sections o’ Georgia, but not to any con
siderable extent But the reports of the
worm are not as bad as usually appear at tbis
season even iu the best cotton years. As yet
there is an absence of reports of any exten
sive or heavy losses. Alabama perhaps suf
fered most from late reins—tbe damage in
tbat Slate being estimated at several millions
of dollars. In Tcxa3 the crop is magnificent,
and wi t be larger tnan ever before. In short,
from the most reliable data, the news is of an
encou -agiDg character, and the prospect Is
good for remunerative prices.
Corn Crop.—The reports of the growing
crop are all of an encouraging character, and
hopes are cntcrtn’ncd that the importation
ofcorn from the West will decrease consid
erably the next season.

Revolutions Never Go Backward.
The philosophical theory that the human sys
tem when weakened by disease, oppressive
heat, excessive labor or any other cause,
should be toned and invigorated instead of
bring subjected to thc action of depicting
drugs, is gaining ground every day. The in
troduction of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters
twenty years ago gave a powerful influence
to this common sense idea. Aa the extraor
dinary efficacy of the Great Vegetable Rcstor-
ativo became knoen, multitudes of debilita
ted invalids turned with loathing from the
nauseous and strength-destroying portions
with which it was then the fashion to drench
tho sick, to this renovating, appetizing, vital
izing preparation derived from the finest
roots, herbs and harks placed by botanical
research at tho disposal of medical science.
Revolutions never go backward. From that
time to tho present tho importance of assist
ing and reinforcing nature in her struggles
with tliatase has been more and more widely
and keenly appreciated by the sick and thc
suffering. In tens of thousands of households
Hostcttcr’s Bitters are looked upon as theone
thing needful in cases of Dyspepsia, General
Debility, Constipation, Nctvoua Weakness,
Chills and Fever, Bilious Affections and all
conditions of the body and mind that betoken
a lack of vital energy. When the quicksil
