tni BOND CASK.
The Bond esse, referred to briefly
in our court proceedings, wa# com
menced at March term Superior
Court 1870, by Wm. B. Meweli, then
a citiz&n of the State of Illinois, vs.
the Ordinary of Bartow county. It
Was in fact a case against the people
of Bartow county.
It was commenced on two bonds ;
one for 6401, !n favor of W. W. Leake
or bearer, dated 24th January, 1803,
and due Ist of January, 1804, with
interest at the rate of seven per cent.
ycr annum, from 4th of January,
]3C3. Sigued by B. F. Godfrey,
(Jerk superior court, and Arthur
Haire, county treasurer, by virtue of
authority of an order of tne Sit -
perior Court of the said county, pa-s
--•d on the oth day of January, 1803.
The other bond is for S6OO, in favor
of J. J. Howard, or bearer, dated
10th of March, 1803, due January Ist
1804, and beers interest same rate as
above, from date. This bond is sign
ed by same parties as the one above,
by order of the Superior Court of
Bartow county. From Sept. 1870 to
present term, this ca9e has been con
tinued and passed for various causes.
At the present term the regular pan
nels of jurors, and many other per
sons, were examined on their voir
dive, before a jury was obtained.
The following named persons were
•elected to try this case: W. 11.
Padgett, W. H. Cole, W. T. Dodd,
N. D. Lewis, Wm. Taylor, Thompson
Colbert, J. A. Young, J. H. Penny,
David Quarles, John C. Leake, L. A.
Chapman aud A. H. Morris.
These bonds were issued for the
“support of soldiers’ families,” and
being, what are commonly called
war claims, created very general in
terest in the result.
After a lengthy investigation of
facts, able aud exhaustive arguments
of counsel and the learned eharge of
Judge McCutehen, the case was sub
mitted to the jury who, after lengthy
deliberation, returned aver. let in
these words: “We, thejury, And tor
the plaintiff two hundred and twen
ty-six dollars and forty-seven cents,
($226.47) with interest at 7 per cent,
from 10th of March, 186S, with cost
of suit. David Q.uariss, foreman-”
This was just about the value of
Confederate money at the time these
bonds were issued.
The plaintiff was represented by
Cel. Warren Akin ; the defendant by
Col. Abda Johnson and Gen. W. T.
Wofford.
REXICCTION OF TAXES.
The Chronicle and Sentinel , in no
ticing the presence of Gen. Colquitt
in Augutta last week, remarked
that—
Th. General wears his honor modestly and
gracefully, and the people of the State will be
glad to iaaru that he is devoting much time
ami labor to the study of taxaiion—a subject
which, like the rod of Aaroa. threatens to
-wallow sp all others. He kuows how much
Die people have suffered from “hard times”
aud he is anxious that the burden of taxation
should be reduced. If this be impossible he
wishes the expenses of the government made
as light as possible.
If there is one subject worthy of
the study of our Governor-elect and
the rasmbeis of the General Assem
bly, it is that of a reduction of the
burdensome taxation that is crushing
the energies of the people. Taxation
is much greater than it was anterior
to the war. Then, ths people had
the means to pay ; now, it is with the
greatest difficulty they can pay at
all: Then, the Stategovernment was
conducted with greater economy
than it is now.
If Gen. Colquitt succeeds in secur
ing a redaction of the taxes, he will
have made himself worthy of the
great honor conferred upon him by
the people of the State; and if he can
effect a reduction cf the expenses of
the government, he will have ac
complished two great objects of be
neficent government.
We wish him every possible suc
res.-, and that his fondest hopes of a
successful administration may be
realifsed in every particular.
XHB HARD WHITER.
Th® preiwnt is said to be the hardest
winter for twenty years or more. No
i remembered by the “oldest
inhabitant” excels the bitter aud long
continued cold of the past seven
weeks in this section. The ther
mometer stood five decrees below
/.orn one morning last week; ani aa
an indication of the severity of the
cold, it Is only necessary to state that
the snow which fell on new year’s
morning remained upon the ground
for a whole week comparatively un
mel ted.
It is he opinion of the best farmers
that the snow aud the great freeze is
equal in value to tillable lands to a
deep breaking up by the plow. They
prediet for the present a good crop
year generally. They say the snow
is of great advantage to wheat.
We are glad there is hope of sqme
good coining from the snow. It has
been a source of a great deil of an
noyance to pedestrians and in pre
venting any sort of farm work*
Mr. Bridges M. Smith has retired
from the Atlanta Sunday Herald and
trots our anew paper which bears
the name of Bridges Smith's Paper,
Mr. Smith’s reputation as a humor
ous writer will undoubtedly make
this new venture a suecess.
WIIL TILDES BK PKKftIDENT*
The politicians aud statesmen of
the country of both political parties
have pretty thoroughly discussed the
subject, and art still pursuing it with
more of deliberation and calmness
than they did a few weeks ago.
There seems to be a growing disposi
tion to leave the decision of the Presi
dential question to the forms of law
and the facts. We publish a letter
from Geu. Gordon giving his views
on the subj et. According to his
reasoning, it is impossible for it to be
otherwise than that Mr. Tilden will
be peacefully inaugurated, unless
desperate men like Morton, Chan
dler. and men of their ilk, attempt
to defeat the popular will by revolu
tionary means.
If the Democracy show the right
grit the Radical leaders will not data
attempt to foras Hayes into the
Presidential chair. If Tilden has
been fairly elected (and all are cer
tain of that) heshould be inaugurated
at all hsrards, and the Democracy
should give the Republicans to un
derstand so at once. The American
people cannot afford to allow any
tampering with popular rights. To
allow it would end in the subversion
of public liberty to the base ends of
partisan fanaticism.
The Georgia railroads are contem
plating an attack on dead-heads.
They are not going te let anybody
but the Governor ride over the roads
tree. That chronic dead-head, the
newspaper man will now have to
shove out his lucre for his rides.
The Georgia Railroad commences
the crusade by issuing a circular con
taining this resolution. Comment
from us is hardly necessary: That
this company will, after the first of
January, 1877, issue no free passes
to any editors, agents, or employes
of any newspaper, to any member of
the Legislature, or official of the
State, except the Governor, or to
any employe of other railroads, ex
cept the general officers, on official
business.
Port Royal is to be honored shortly
by the arrival of the Russian fleet
which will rendeavous at that placs
to be out of danger in case of war
with Turkey. The Turkish fleet is
greatly superior to this squadron,
and as it could not get back into the
Black Sen, and could not be easily
reinforced from the Baltic, it would
be useless to expose it to destruction.
Besides, if England is drawn into a
fight against Russia, a fleet in the
Atlantic can do her more damage
than elsewhsre, without being
exposed to an easy capture as in the
Mediterra: an. The fleet consists
of nine fust-class vessels and the
Grand Dukt Alexis, is commanding
the flag ship, which is one of the
finest iron clads afloat.
Hon: B. H. Hill will not return to
Georgia during the session of the
Legislature, as has peen stated, to
make a speech, because public duties
wiil not permit him, as the commit
tees from the disputed States are re
turning, and a debate might spring
up at auy time on the important
issues now beforeiCongreen, Mr. Hill
prefers to remain at his post. He
will lake part in the debate on these
questions. We are also informed
that letters have been written from
some of Mr. Tilden’s most intimate
friends to gentlemen In the legisla
ture, fully endorsing Mr. Hills
course on the presidential question.
We are glad to chronicle the fact
that Daniel Pittman has been re
elected ordinary of Fulton county,
which office he has held for several
terms successively. He has been
faithful to his trust, and there are
few men who ean show a better bal
ance sheet than Dan. We congratu
late the people of Fa 1 ton county
upon the result and Pittman upon
his popularity as a gentleman and
public officer. ___
It is a right hard matter to marry
off young Jim Bennett of the New
York Herald. He promised his
latest affianced that he wouldn’t
drink any more mean whisky aud
went right straight out and got
stinking drunk. The girl’s brother
took the matter in hand and cow
hided Jim. The two parties met at
a point near Baltimore fired a shot
in the air and now the boy Jim
awaits another attack from some
designing mother.
Mr. P. P. Bliss, the Evangelist
who with Mr. Whittlo held celebrat
ed revivals in several Southern cities,
was killed at the late Ashabula rail
road disaster. He was the compiler
of “Gospel Songs” a very popular
•Sunday school song book and was
the composer of the greater number
of the beautifal songs contained in
it.
The proceedings of the Georgia
Legislature and accounts of the Lou
isianna trouble compel ns to present
a meagre a mount of editorial matter
this week. The people are much in
terested in iheee matters and will
hardly mi-s oar thunder.
The Washington Star says Con
gressman Puruan of Florida, Repub
lican, is preparing a speech on the re
cent election ia the State he repre
sents. Burma* is a Republican, but
will denounce the action of the Re
turning board.

full proceedings of /he Georgia Leg
islature during this session. Let
every one keep posted by taking the
paper.

fTIfLDKN’S INAUGURATION. CTT-
We are glad to see a manifest dis
position in the Northwest that Mr.
Tilden shall be inaugurated, if fairly
elected as the following dispatches to
the Atlanta Constitution will show :
Columbus, 0., Jan. 8.— I The convention was
Tory targe. The resolutions were strong, and
recommended a national convention, to le
held at Washington, D. C., February, 12th.
W sshFngton, January B.—Private dispatches
report that the Democratic mass meetings
throughout the country were patriotic and de
termined. The speeches are somewhat threat
ening, and the resolutions were positive in
their declaration.
Such is the spirit the Democracy
should exhibit every where, North
and South. The popular will, we re
peat, should be carried out at all haz
ards. If Mr. Tilden has been elected
—and we know he has—it would be
cowardly upon the part of the
American people to submit to the
inauguration of a defeated candidate
and that of a party wkieh has over
ridden constitutional law for eleven
years to carry out their most infa
mous purposes.
It was all a mistake about the peo
ple being too dead poor to indulge
in an inaugural ball at Atlanta. It
is to eome off.
GENERAL LOXOSTRKEX.
New Orleans Republics:*, 9th,
This gentleman has declared his
conviction that General Nicholls has
been constitutionally and legally elec
ted governor of the state, and also
the other candidates of the democrat
ic party, and that the action ot the
returning board was evidently
fraudulent and false, and ought to be
made to yield to clerly ascertain
will of the people. It does not ap
pear thai General Longstreet has re
nounced or changed his political rela
tions to the republican party, though
he has recently pronounced very de
cisivly against the acts and course of
the party and its leaders in the State.
The Rump attempted to assuage the
anger of the Gen, against Kellogg
and Packard by hurrying through a
bill to pay a large sum to Longstreet
on account of milita expenses incur
red during Kellogg’s administration.
This concession does not seem to
have had any effect upon the opin
ions of Gen Longstreet in regard to
the validity of Gen. Nicholls’ elec
tion. He thinks that that is a ques
tion of fact, and that no party obliga
tions demand or would justily his
denying or opposing the same. The
loss of Longstreet in this crisis to
the Rump usurpation is an irrepara
ble one. He has been heretofore by
by fkr the strongest, most stubborn
and reliable defender of Warmoth
snd Kellogg in their various conflicts.
Bliss, the revivalist, composer and
finger, was perhaps the most impor
tant victim of the Ashtabula calam
ity, and by the heroism of his death
as well as by the singing of his songs
—which have now reached over
nearly the whole world—lie ha
earned long remembrance. Some of
that terrible scene, who knew him,
testify how, though he was free to
escape nlone, he calmly rejected life
to die with his wife, whom he could
not save, and how the true Christian
lovets offered their prayers together,
as the fatal flames approached them.
Mr. Bliss had no distinguished abili
ties or opportunities; judged by lit
erary or artistic canons, his songs (in
whose writing his wife had at least
an equal share) are medocre; but h*
had the spirit of humble and single
minded devotion which makes the
weak things of the earth mighty to
confound the strong. Therefore he
will live in the hearts of Christians;
his works remain, wherever Sankey
and Moody sing, in revival meetings
or Sunday Schools. It is no wonder
that thememorial services in the
Chicago tabernacle (where he and liis
fellow-laborer, Mr. Whittle, had
been expected to fullosv Moody and
Sankey in their works) Mere most
affecting; that the building should
have been filled wilh tearstained
faces ; that Moody’s utterances
should have broken, and Sankey
unable to trust himself to sing alone.
—Springfield llepublican.
Columbus Times: We believe all
the factories have, in the last few
days, been obliged, in sympathy with
the raw material, to advance their
prices. Cotton has made a decided,
and we presume a very permanent
advance, It is pleasant to know that
every one of these mills have orders
equal to all their production, and in
many cases they are sold ahead.
manufactured '’goods
are yet low aud are susceptible of
other advances before they are in
keeping with the price of cotton. The
production of the No. 3 Eagle & Pho
nix would now find ready sale, as
this corporation’s popular goods seem
to be in unusual demand. Speed the
day of its completion, wo say; our
population, our trade and our city
generally will be bettered that much.
These bulwarks of the South are
doing more to make us respected and
feared than ever did our bst bayo
nets. Columbus is justly proud of
the share she has contributed.
Ex Gov. Brown.— The Washing
ton Union , copying a part of Gov.
Brown’s letter on the Presidential
issue, remarks that his views possess
increased significance from the fact
that he is understood to be a candi
date for election to the United States
Senate. This is not the understand
ing here. We have been assured
that neither Governor Brown’s
health, which is unfortunately fee-
Dle, nor his business engagements,
will permit him to contest for the
Senate, and that he does not seek the
position. A great many, qo doubt,
believe that he would make a very
useful and influential member of that
body, but no one has ever said in our
hearing that he desired the position.
Hi3 letter must therefore be consid
ered as an expression of opinion al
together uubaised by any personal
considerations.— Macon Telegraph.
The orange trees, though badly
pinched off by the cold in some pla
ce*, have not been killed, if old
enough to bear. The result will
probably be to lesson the number of
orange* for the next crop, but the
oranges will be larger and better.
One gentleman, below New Orleans,
on a small grove of about 400 full
bearing trees, has shipped (500 bar
