Splendid Meeting at Barneevllle- Magnlfleeut Efforts of Gordon and Trippe for Greeley. Great Enthusiasm and Success. The Interest Growing. Editor! Confutation: The good people of Bamesville and vicinity were the recipients of an extraordinary treat on lmt Saturday in the abape of two—I might my with truth —extraordinary speeches from General Gor don and Hon. B. P. Trippe. General Gor don’s speech was full of telling points and eloquent sentences, lie exposed in a master ly manner the political crimes of Grant and bb cohorts, and gave the beat and moat con vincing reasons for supporting Greeley is preference to Grant. He waa listened to very patiently by thefStraight-Outa" of old Pike, and if they failed to be convinced of the correctness of bb position, they at least left less “Straight-Out’ than before. I heard after the speaking that many were convinced and bad announced their determi nation to follow the lead of the gallant Qrr- don. General Gordon has entered into the canvass in dead earnest, and displays the same gallantry, daring and courage that he did on the tented field. Gordon s compliment to Governor Smith waa grand beyond inscription. He referred to the fact that Governor Smith waa born a abort distance from where be (the speaker) then stood. That he waa raised among those people and all know him to be a man of Integrity, Oddity and extra ordinary ability, lie said be bad known the Governor in private life, on the tented field and in the Execntivo chair, and in every sta tion be bad displayed all those qualities of head and heart necessary to make a good and wise Executive. He begged thtjpcople, that whatever they did. not to saffer their divis ions on the Greeley movement to effect the Governor’s election. He apoke of our suffer ing under Bullock's rule and the great necessity of keeping t&e gtate and particularlykeeping Lands Of hrafstyiotic son. the State in the _ _ .. . ..... who, srilhin eight months, bad brought order out of confusion; bo who had compelled the military cease their interference In the af fairs of thb Slate, and again snored the peo- >Ie that the Executive authority waa not to w used for corrupt purposes. General Gordon spoke two hours, but no m* lirgtj. After General Gordon resumed hto seat, and the pnitoaged appito*® fiad subsided, Hon. It P. Trippe was introduced, • In times that are gone. It was my- good fortune to bear some of the finest “hustings’’ efforts of the day from Trippe. After t«U years of retirement, I find that none of his Old ljn£ pungency of style has he lost. For one boqs w.<J * half ho pointed out to the people the Jioo of duly—Ip* fhe duty of partisans, but too duty of patfiota. He spoke of the hopeleis subjugated condi tion of the Southern people, and the utter nowcricssness of the Democratic party to Selous. He aaklwc were compelled to have relief or w« would politically uic; that Gree ley had been offered to »»*4 » mean* of rc- I ef, by the agony of thb great, g/aqd eifflg- gle for liberty and local aeU-governmeol, and it waa the highest duty of patriotism to ap cept it. He said he was not speaking for Greeley, but for the grand movement, which was infinitely greater titan all the Greeleys, and ail tho political parties combined. His appeals were i,resistible. He declared himself the “shortest" of the wSirsbht-Oato," that he was straight-out against Grant and DECISIONS IDPEEOE COCUx"OF GEORGIA. Delivered in Atlanta, Tuesday, Sepi. 3, 1872 Colquitt St Baggs v*. Harriet JL Tarver. In junction, from Twiggs. WARNER, C. J. Thb it a tm filed by the complainant against the defendants pray ing for an injunc tion to restrain the foreclosure and sale of certain described property which had been mortgaged to the defendants by Wm. B. Tarver and Benjamin 31. Tarver, the sons of the complainant. The Conrt granted the in junction to which the defendants excepted. The complainant alleges in her bill, that she is the widow of IL H. Tarver, deceased; that tiy bb will the property embraced in the mortgage, or a considerable portion thereof, waa charged by the will of her late hnsbsnd with her support sad maintenance during her natural life or widowhood, in lieu of dower out of his real estate. The prayer of the bill is, that the amount to which she may be eutitled for her support and maintenance shall be ascertained, and be first paid to her out of the mortgaged property as constituting a prior lien or charge thereon. There b no good legal or equitable ground shown by the complainant’s bill why the mortgages should not be foreclosed, as be tween the mortgagors and mortgagees the foreclosure of the mortgages as to the debts due by the mortgagors to the mortgagees will not, in any manner, affect the complain ant’s rights tc her support out of the mort- ' icrty; provided, the same b not the judgment of foreclosure, in Uut Court, her rights might,bo complicated. In oar judgment, the jcodicil to the testator’s will, does not adeem or revoke the first clause in bb will, which charges hb estate with the support and maintenance of the complainant daring her natural life or widowhood in lieu of dower, and she is en titled to have the amount ascertained and decr«fcd to her, to which she may be entitled oqt of the mortgaged property which was orrnsd by the testator at the time of hb death, or which has since hpen purchased with the trust funds arising from ute sale of the p$pcrty charged with her support with notice to the morgagees that it was so purchased with tbo trust funds arising from the sale of said property. The record of the probate of the will of the testator was notice to the mortgagees that the property specified therein was charged with her sup- jo/t and maintenance, but would not be '.mice as fo alher property purchased since the testator's tlcqth; with the trast funds aris ing front the sale of the pnpntqbcrpJ property, fn view of the facts of this case we shall [fi- rect that (ho injunction be to modified as to allow the mortgagees to foreejoso their mort gages against the mortgagors, but restrain them from selling tbo mortgaged property described in the testator’s will, aud so much thereof as was purchased with the trust funds arising from the sale of the property charged with the complainant’s support, if thp cqi*ml}insnt shall allege in her bill that the mortgager* had notice tijat if was so pur- ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY.

Opposition to that proceeding has, to my mind, a far deeper source than mere attachment to party. That I at least am not unduly influenced by that sentiment, mav to unperverted reason that the adoption of efficient curbs upon official power is alone needed' to render this great continent the abodeof peace and human happiness on a scale of surpassing magnttode. ; ; ou. Even if defensive war. bsnecesssry evils, toe power of borrowing money should not be conceded on that account, it must be ad mitted that they cannot be carried on without vast outlay; but money is not more necessary than men. As the generation which wages war must furnish warriors, why cannot jt also furnish money, food, clothing, when it is compelled to famish labor, connected with the msintsinancc of belicerant operations. Posterity esnnot fight our battles, nor is there any necessity that posterity should pay the cost of them. Our own young men must uo toe fighting, ami it is equally m the power of our old men to do the paying. “Pay re you go," is the maxim nut lees Sound in political economy than in private affairs, and if adopted peculation must cease to pervert the Government, and war could not longer lend a legal sanction to cruelty and oppression, and if as some contend, war is toe normal condition of mankind, posteri ty will have its own wan to sustain, and It is, therefore, unreasonable to harden posteri ty with debt. We are deeply interested in sappressing these ideas. Tbe rqlesra of. the people will, of course, treat them with deris ion. Still it must suffice for thepresent tout to submit them meekly, on their own merits and without q detailed vindication. Al though their principles is already accepted in substance by some Western States In their recent constitutions, their advocacy must, in the main.be deferred until the facts and fables of.the pending canvass shall have ceased to engross attention. A few brief suggestions will nevertheless be offered. The power to borrow money is mischievous just in proportion as the govern ment is liberal in form and as a nation is prosperous. Tbo vcjy poqstituticfi' ot hu man nature precludes an effectual regulation of it In a monarchy there may ho some ex cuse; bqt in a republic the tendency to abuse is absolutely incorrigible. No human skill can devise, or human ingenuity put in force, adequate checks upon its exercise. If al lowed to exist at all, it must invariably be abused, and abuse must progress to ait extent absolutely intolerable. The mere burden and taxation induced by it is the least evil among its progeny.

Her location as the scat of Government, her railroads, her public schools, her intelligence, and her va ried and important industries, all demand that onr Representatives should not only be popular, ca; -able and honest, but more—these are essential qualities, but they are not all that is required.
