That Insolvent List. We publish elsewhere a communication from Mr. J. W. Johnson, our Tax Collec tor, explaining that trouble about the insol vent list, which oaused the Grand Jury to present it as incomprehensible. Upon refer ence to the communication of Mr. Johnson, it will be deen that he claims to have dis charged his duty in accordance with law, and made his return to the Ordinary, which by him had been allowed^ and that the investi gation by the Grand Jury was a gratuity.— By reference to the Code, it will be found that the Tax Collector is right; he is respon sible to the Ordinary, and notwithstanding the law may delegate to the Grand Jury the power, under certain circumstances, to in vestigate the insolvent list, yet, as the list had been allowed by the Ordinary, and 'Mr. Johnson had his receipt, it would appear that the Ordinary was the party responsible to the Grand Jury in this case. To conclude this subject we submit, that at last the whole trouble was due to a want of a proper under standing as to whose duty it was to account for and explain to the Jury the insolvent GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

A true bill for Court, he pleads guilty, having taken but a hurried and cursory view of the Hon. gen tleman^ proposed plan; but as to the second and third reviews of said objections, they are entirely cumulative arguments, tending to sustain the position of Quis. For our re viewer, in his review of our second objection to this plan, says: “ There need be no aps prehension on this score,” and gives as his reason for no apprehension, “ If they are overburdened with work, they will not vol untarily determine to rehear a case in the Supreme Court, unless there is good reason for so doing.” This is to say, that the indis position and laziness of the Judges will defeat the adjudication of some of the most import ant principles—principles which are absolute ly essential to the proper maintenance of the rights and wrongs of society. Again, this review seems to savor somewhat of petitio prmeipii, from the fact, that it says that they (the Judges) will not rehear a case “ unless there is good reason for so doing,” which we did not doubt, and said the trouble was they (the Judges) would always find a “good reason,” on account of the many and varied influences brought to bear. Our reviewer will remember, that our objection to this plan was, that there would be an increased amount of machinery, with no corresponding The Savannah Advertiser has fallen into the arms of the Newt.

Trade Prospects for the Fall. Our city now begins to shake off that dull ness which usually marks the tram ition from one Reason to another, and the commenchig fall trade brings somewhat of brightness and despondency which has been so prevalent in | crop of cottony and fifteen per cent, less our trading community. The present crop i coru titan last year. These facts, taken in connection with the ... ..... - - , , . . i very low price at which cotton is now sell- wnten, notwithstanding the low prices, is j mg, me indeed discouraging, and should of cotton is- fast being gathered, much of j necessarily finding its way to market; our ! stimulate planters to the necessary steps to merchants, most of them, have returned home I f " rtW ) t themselves against the consequences from market with their fall goods, and the trade of the season may be said to have fairly begun. The question then is, what of the trade? Are the prospects' favorable to a full trade this fall, or shall our merchants experience that.opntinued .dullness which will increase their ooaplrifnts of hard times? Notwith standing the Crops of the present season have been greatly reduced in'their general average by the drop thsofUie summer, and the opinion is generally entertained that the trade of the fall will he-proportionally reduced, yet it must be remembered, that there has been amongst our agriculturalists, and indeed amongst our whole people, a greater practice of economy this year, than perhaps any previous yen- since the war. This has re sulted in bringing great relief to many of our agriculturalists and those dependent upon their success, doubtless making their indebtedness less than any previous year within the past ten or inure. These* together with the fact, that niore provisions have been mode this year than for a number of years past, giving the farmer a better chance to use the receipts from., his cotton in the purchase of family supplies and necessaries, which make up a very large portion of our trade, are well calculated to encourage our commercial men to hope a fair business the present full. It is not our purpose to encourage a false hope in regard to tho trade prospects ef the present season. On the contrary, we would advise that practice of caution and economy which are the sure guarantees of safety against it declining or lessening trade. This is well, and always bespeaks that wise oad judicious precaution which paves the true road to success, but at the same time, we ap prehend that our commercial and business men are and have been too prone to despond deucy. Despondency lessens energy and enterprise. The lade of energy and enter prise among our business men begets dull ness in trade.- Dujlness in the trading circles of. one community gives the enterprise df an other a surer footing for successful and damaging competition. Competition, to be the life of trade, must be that which is stimulated by and based upon an equality of opposing enterprise and activity in business. These and other important reflections and considerations, it seems to us, should take the plied df that disposition in our men of business, which, bnt too often leads to that inactivity which is the almost shrtain result of despondency, and against which they need such preventives. Witiitibeae advisory remarks, we would caution, let not judicious enterprise be mis taken for reckless adventure, or stimulated energy and activity for speculative enthu siasm or injudicious boldness; bnt rather let energy and industry be guarded by econo my; let enterprise and progresriveneas be steered by wisdoin . and precaution, and tfadn may we: hope' to see onr languishing of this double disaster, by planting supple-: inciitary crops to supply the deficiency in the corn crop, and avoid the necessity of buying as far as possible. Now that the price o£ cotton is below the average cost of production, self preservation demands that fanners raise their own snp- plitMy since, at 'the present price of cotton, there will be no money w ith which to buy, alter paying the cost of its production. In deed; 1 lie time lias come when planters mast becQin a farmers. The production of home supplies must be the leading object, more stock must be raised, less land cultivated, less labor employed, that employed made more efficient, and cotton made a subsidia ry instead of ji leading crop. There can be no prosperity until our ag- would Bo in this case, the Court of Appeals, instead of being a preventive, would be an expense and do no good. But take the case given in the review, and the same objections lie, because, in this case, it would have to go to the Bus preme Court. Our reviewer agrees with us exactly, when he makes the case given in his illustration go to the Supreme Court. This is what we are contending for. In addition to being tried by the Appeal Courts, they would have to go to the Supreme Court at last, which is additional expense with no cor responding good. So we agree that the case put by way of illustration, by the most ingenious argument of our able Editor would not stop, ana hence be decided by the Supreme Court; but this is not proving that'there might be a case or principle which might not hi adjudged rightly from its not being taken to the Supreme Court. For instance, in the case we gave.in last our article, a principle is decided in thfe Northern District—it might be that it would never come up either in the Superior or Appellate Court of tbo-'Southern District.

Mr. Editor:—I thought that the explan ation appended to the Presentments of the Grand Jury of Clarke, would make the matter plain; but it not being understood, I ask through your excellent pnper, to make it 'so plain, that “ lie who rims, may read.” In- my. explanation, I over-estimated the County Insolvent List $30 00, not having my books before me, and quoting from memory. The item which the Jury could not com prehend, and which the law charges the Ordinary to investigate, and whiclTnoither the law or the Judge inqioses oil the Grand Jury, is $2,570.00, at the close of the County Insolvent List. The County cannot assess Polls and Sjie- cilic taxes on Doctors, Dentists, Surveyors, and Photograph Artists. Suppose the State tax is $20,000, includ ing general tax, Polls, and those Specific taxes—to arrive at the atnount due the County, the Polls and Specific taxes, which the County cannot assess, must be deducted from the, gross nmount of the Digest before the County assessment is made. This is always done in making out the Insolvcut List, although not Insolvent tax, | Tliis amount of $2,570,00 and the County Insolvent tax, $429.44, and the amount of errors in the Digest and State Insolvent tax, swelled the amount to the sum stated by the Grand Jury; all of which the Jury mistook for Insolvent County tax—a rea sonable mistake, as tlicir time and facilities for investigation were limited. The County Insolvent tax, as aforesaid, is only $429.44, some of which, will yet be collected. The Collector is compelled to have his Insolvent List allowed, before he absolutely knows what can be collected; and he, ana not tho County, Is generally the loser. The Insolvent List for 1874 is smaller than usual. The Ordinary, who is always careful to see that the law is complied with, investi gated the return, and rightfully allowed it. It is correct, and will stand the test of legal scrutiny. , • With the kindest feelings towards every member of the Grand Jury, and to you, Mr. Editor, fully appreciating your vigilance tie towns in that sect ion of our State,* and’ is rapidly moving on in its general march Of im provement; It now numbers some eight or te* business houses, and has fc'Vnry pros perous trade.

The State averages are: Maine 105, New Hampshire 100; Vermont' 98, Massachusetts 100, Con' necticnt 108, New York 99, New Jersey 111, Pennsylvania 108, Delaware 100, Maryland 10$, Virginia 112, North Carolina 104, Smith Carolina 87j Georgia 90, Florida 83, Alabama 212, Mississippi 116, Louisiana 85, Texas 89, Arkansas 103, Tennessee 114, West Virginia 107, Kentucky 103, Ohio 97, Michigan 101, Indiana 83. Illinois 95, Wis consin 60, Minnesota 72, Iowa 92, Missouri 111, Kansas 109, Nebraska' 73, California 95, Oregon 100. Time Drafts.—We find the following, of interest to onr readers, in the New York Journal of Commerce; Macon, Ga., Sept. 7, 1875. Editor of the Journal of Commerce: As a matter of information to you we beg to state that the bankers of this city refuse to allow your ruling that the drawee of a time draft has twenty-four hours to decide whether he will or will not accept. We had a case directly in point this week, wherein the banker protested the draft which, had'he granted the twentysfour hours time, we could have accepted. Yours, very respectfully. R. C. & Co. Reply—There is no statute in Georgia, as far as we know, changing the common law ruling legalizing this custom, which has existed from time immemorial. Story on Bills, section237, says: “In every case of a presentment for acceptance the drawee is entitled, if he requires it, to have twenty-four hours to consider whether he will accept the bill or not; and it is usual in such cases for the holder to leave the bill with him during that period.” To the same effect is Chitty on Bills, ch. 7, pp. 308, 307, 311 (8th edit., 1833) ; Marius on Bills, 15, 16; Code deComm., art. 125; Pardessus, Droit Comm., Tom. 2, art. 361, and a host of legal decisions. If the drawee requests twenty-four hours, and the holder protests without granting the delay, the latter can be prosecuted and made to pay damages in smart money. 8TOCK MARKET.

Cling Close to the Rock.—Not long ago a train of cars was going over the Alle ghany mountains. It had reached a place where there was a deep precipice on oneside, and a steep wall of solid rock, that rose sheer up to a great height, on the other. The cars was running along quite close to this rock wall. All at once the whistle steamed the signal, “down breaks! down breaks 1” The passengers were alarmed. They raised the windows and looked out expecting to see or hear of some dreadful disaster. The en gineer had discovered a little girl and her baby brother playing on the track, just a “ * ' ‘ It Capt. Montgomery should wish to leave it. Pl _, 70W Townl.
