THE COUNTY COURT.
• The fact that this tribunal is now a “ fixed
institution”—and believing that the people
ought to be made acquainted with its “work
ings,” is a sufficient apology, in our estima
tion, for the length of the following “abstract”
of the law creating the said Court—furnished
the News (on solicitation) by a worthy mem
ber of the Jefferson Bar, and for which we
return grateful acknowledgements.
ABSTRACT OF Tin; PROVISIONS OF AN ACT
PASSED JANUARY lOTII, 1872, CREATING
COUNTY COURTS.
>By section Ist. it is'enacted, that the Gov
ernor, by and with the consent of the Senate,
shall appoint for certain counties, a suitable
person, not less than twenty-five years of age
and a resident of the county for one year be
fore his appointment, who may serve as
County Judge four years from the time of
receiving his commission. The Grand Jury,
at its Spring term, shall declare what amount
shall be paid to said Judge for his services
as Judge in criminal matters, which sum is to
be raised by taxes, paid over to Treasurer
and by him paid over to Country Judge. This
act does not take effect so as to allow a coun
ty Judge to be appointed for any count}' till
the Grand Jury thereof shall, by a majority,
so recommend.
By section 2d, it is provided, that county
Judges shall have jurisdiction in civil mat
ters, both of contract and tort, where the prin
cipal sum does not exceed one hundred dol
lars. Where the sum claimed is more than
fifty dollars, there may be an appeal to the
Superior Court; Judge may hold his Court
at the Court House or an}' other place in the
county.
Section 3d provides, that civil suits before
the county Judge shall be commenced by
summons issued and signed by him, requir
ing the defendant to appear at a certain time
and place in the county, to answer the plain
tiff’s demand. Continuances may be allow
ed according to the rules regulating continu
ances in the Superior Courts—not exceeding
ten days. If the claim sued on is over fifty
dollars, the summons shall bear date twenty
days before the time of trial, and must be
served fifteen days before the time of trial.
If under fifty dollars, the summons shall bear
date fifteen days and be served ten days be
fore time of trial.
Section 4th provides, that the Judge may
appoint a Bailiff to serve all processes and
execute all orders issued by him, who shall
give bond and security and take an oath as
required by Constables. In cases of emer
gency, said J udge may, by order on his dock
et, appoint a special bailiff, which special
bailiff will only be required to take the usual
oath of Constables. Such bailiffs shall have
authority to serve processes, summons’, &c.,
over the entire county in which the county
Judge has jurisdiction.
Section sth provides, that when the time
for hearing arrives, unless the case is contin
ued, the county Judge shall hear and deter
mine such case as Justices of the Peace hear
and determine matters within their jurisdic
tion. If either of the parties are dissatisfied
with the judgment of the Court, and the prin
cipal sum claimed is over fifty dollars, such
dissatisfied party may enter an appeal within
four days, to the Superior Court. If the
sum claimed is under fifty dollars, the dis
satisfied party may sue out a certiorari under
the rules regulating certiorari’s from Justices’
Courts.
Section Gth provides, that when execution
is issued by county Judge and is levied upon
property to which a claim is interposed, the
Judge of the County Court may determine
tiie right of property, without the interven
tion of a J ury. Said county Judge shall hear
and dispose of all illegalities taken to the
execution of his judgment and orders, with
tlie same right of appeal and certiorari in
cases of claim or illegality as is allowed in
other cases. Ten days notice of the time and
place of hearing claims or illegalities shall
be given by the county Judge to the parties
interested, or their agents or attorneys.
Section 7th enacts, that the county Judge
may compel the attendance of witnesses, the
production of papers, and may issue commis
sion to procure testimony bv interrogatories
in the same manner as Judges of the Supe
rior Courts may do, and may punish officers
and others for contempt by fining not over
one hundred dollars, and imprisoning not
exceeding ten days.
Section Bth provides, that the county Judge
shall have jurisdiction to determine all appli
cations for eviction of intruders, tenants hold
ing over. for the partition of personal proper
ty, to try possessory warrants, to issue and
dispose of distress warrants, to issue attach
ments and garnishments, to foreclose mort
gages of personal property and liens, to at
test deeds and administer oaths of all sort 9,
with the right of appeal or certiorari as may
be appliceble to the case determined.
Section 9th provides, that the county
Judge shall be entitled, in all civil cases, to
the costs now allowed to Justices of the
Peace.
Section 10th enacts, that the county Judge
shall keep a docket of his civil proceedings
and shall carefully file away and preserve all
legal papers connected with such proceed
ings.
Section 11th provides, that said county
Judges, as Justices of the Peace, may upon
oath made before them, issue criminal war
rants, inquire into the offences charged, and,
in cases of felony, bind over to the Superior
Court, or commit the offender to jail as Jus
tices of the Peace, sitting as a Court of In
quiry, may do. In cases which do not ap
pear to be felonies, and in which no indict
ment is demanded by the accused, said coun
ty Judge shall at once proceed to hear, deter
mine, sentence, decide and adjudicate upon
the said cases, unless a continuance is asked
for and granted, or a Jury is demanded.
Should a Jury be demanded by the accused,
the County ,1 udge shall draw by lot, from a
lox kept for that purpose, the names of
twelve Jurors, who shall be summoned to
attend at such time and place as he may se
lect, anywhere in the county of which he is
Judge, when and where the accused party
shall be tried as parties accused are tried for
misdemeanor in the Superior Courts. If the
verdict of the jury shall be against the de
fendant, he shall be sentenced as in cases
where the county Judge alone tried the case.
Parties brought before the county Judge may,
in writing, demand an indictment by a Grand
Jury of the county in which the offence was
committed : in which event said countv Judge
will bind over or commit to jail the party so
demanding ail indictment, as the facts and
circumstances of the case may require.
Section 12th provides, that in cases where
; no indictment is demanded by the accused,
the county Judge shall frame a written accu
( sation in the nam#of the State of Georgia,
to be signed by the prosecutor, distinctly
setting forth the nature of the offence charg
ed, the time when committed, where and by
whom, and that it is based upon an affidavit,
to which the accusation is briefly to refer.
To such accusation the defendant may demur
for insufficiency or plead to the merits ; but
: in no case shall the party be discharged on ac
| count of the insufficiency of the accusation,
till full opportunity is allowed to prepare a
sufficient accusation. The Judge and jury
: in the investigation of the case or cases shall
i l>e governed by the same rules as govern in
criminal cases in the Superior Courts.
Section 13th regulates the costs of the
County Judge and the officers of his Court;
by whom to be paid and what disposition is
i to be made of the same.
Section 14th provides, that there may be a
certiorari from the decision and judgment of
the county Judge, to be obtained in the mode
and disposed of in the mode provided in sec
tion thirteen of the act organizing the Dis
trict Court in 1870 ; which act provides that
certiorari’s may be had under the sanction
and order of tire Judge of the Superior Court
of the Circuit, upon petition in writing, by
the defendant, showing sufficient grounds of
error, to be made out in ten days after such
trial. The petition shall state the grounds of
complaint; give a brief of the material evi
dence and be duly sworn to. Upon hearing
the certiorari, the Judge of the Superior
Court may pass such sentence or judgment
as is consistent with law.
Section loth provides, that the county
Judge shall keep a docket of all criminal
cases disposed of by him, which shall state
the case, its nature and disposition ; and that
he shall keep all the papers, separate from
the papers in civil cases, so as to be able at
any time, to make a true history of the cases
disposed of. It also provides, that Justices
of the Peace shall turn over all offenders
whose offences appear to be misdemeanors,
to the county Judge for trial; who shall pro
ceed as if the accusation was originally
brought before him.
Section 16th provides, that all sales made
by the bailiff of the county Judge, either in
the execution of civil or criminal process, shall
be at the Court-house of the county or at a
Militia Court Ground, as the county Judge
may designate, after usual notice given, to be
by advertisement in a newspaper if the Judge
should so direct.
Section 17th provides, that all laws of the
State of Georgia applicable to civil proceed
ings before Justices of the Peace, not incon
sistent with the provisions of this act. and
which can be applied to the civil proceedings
before the county Judge, are hereby made a
part of this act.
Section 18th provides, that certiorari’s may
be sued out on account of the finding of
juries, and if a material error is discovered
by the Judge of the Superior Court in the
finding of the jury, he shall grant anew hear
ing before a jury to be had in the same mode
as the first trial.
Section 19th provides, that the County
Judge may, in criminal cases, when he deems
it necessary, direct his criminal warrants, or
ders, and proceedings of all sorts, to the
Sheriff of the county, to his own Bailiff, or
any lawful Constable of the county.
Section 20th provides, that the County
Judges, created by this Act, shall keep their
offices and papers at the county sites, and at
the Court House, and notice of where said of
fice is located shall be given by publication
for the space of two weeks in a public gazette,
or by notice of the same at three or more of
the most public places in the county, in the
discretion of the Judge ; and that said offices
shall be kept open every day. except Sun
days and public holidays, and days and times
when the County Judge is absent liolding his
Court at other places in his county.
Section 21st provides, that County Judges
shall discharge the duties that formerly de
volved on the J ustices of the Inferior Court,
except in those counties where, by local laws,
other provision have been made.
Section 22d provides, that the Superior
Courts of this State, where cases of misde
meanors are now pending, shall transmit
said cases to the Courts created by this bill,
after the establishment of said Courts, and
that the Clerks of such Superior Courts shall
transmit to said County Courts the papers of
all suits connected with said cases, and when
this is done, said County Judges shall pro
ceed with such cases according to the provis
ions of this bill.
Amendments to original bill will receive
attention next week.
result in California gives the Dem
ocrats another State and another vote in the
House of Representatives if the election for
President should be thrown into that body.
There are thirty-eight States in the Union.—
To elect a President requires twenty votes.
We count the following for the Democrats :
New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkan
sas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Il
linois, Missouri, Nevada. Oregon, and Cali
fornia. This will do. If the Republican U.
S. Senate desires to throw out the Southern
electoral votes, and so make no choice for
President, the election goes to the House,
where the Democrats are sure of twenty-four
votes out of thirty-eight. All hail to the
Democracy of California, who have given us
the fourth vote more than was necessary.
Aiii-Line Railroad Muddle. —The direc
tors, stockholders, officers and bondholders
had a meeting at Atlanta on the I4th. There
were all kinds of conflicting interests repre
sented and discussed, without any definite
results. One party is favorable to retain
ing Col. Buford as President; another in
favor of Thomas Alexander, and another in
favor of anything that will give them the
intererst on the bonds they hold. If we
should ever get anything definite and reliable
about the matter we will gladly publish it
for the benefit of all concerned. —Gainesville
Southron.
The Counterfeiters.
In our last, was mentioned the arrest of
several persons suspected and charged with
counterfeiting. Since that time, some four- 1
teen or fifteen of the gang have been tried
and bound over, at Huntsville, Ala. Among
those named are farmers, grocery merchants,
saloon keepers, and livery stable men—all
being heretofore prominent men in their re
spective communities. There is no telling to
what extent the operations of the gang have
been carried, and consequently it behooves
all to look well to what little of the “ filthy
lucre” they can get hold of these hard times.
It is estimated that $1,000,000 has been dis
tributed. Basketfuls were captured with the
men arrested, some of whom had rolls of it
in the seams of their clothing, the lining of
their hats, under their hat bands, or wherever
it could be hid. Detectives have been work
ing during the past six months.

The Equinoctial Storm.
From telegrams in our daily exchanges we
get the particulars of the damage by the storm
of last week. In many places, especially
Houston, Galveston, and other parts of Texas,
the storm raged terrifically for several days,
accompanied by a great rain fall, and the
consequent destruction of railroad bridges,
embankments, &c., as well as doing consid
erable damage to vessels and boats of various
kinds lying in the harbor of Galveston.—
Many lives have been lost, and property
amounting, in the aggregate, to millions has
been destroyed, while great suffering has
been entailed upon the victims of wind and
water.
iHpT'ignres are eloquent. More than any
thing else they are accurately expressive.
They never lie. Let them tell the recent
growth of democratic power in the United
States : In 1870, four democratic governors ;
in 1875, twenty-four democratic governors.
In 1870, four democratic legislatures; in
1875, twenty-four democratic legislatures.
In 1870, ninety democratic members of the
house of representatives of the United States ;
in 1875, one hundred and eighty members of
that body. In 1870, twelve democratic mem
bers of the senate of the United States ; in
1875, twenty-eight members. Tims the de
mocracy are progressing. Thus they are
gravitating to the possession of the power of
the federal government. They will attain it
in the centennial year.
Cincinnati Enquirer says: With
Pensylvania added to Ohio and Indiana, we
can afford, if necessary, to allow New York
to remain wedded to her golden calf. We
can succeed in electing the next President
over the gold gamblers of Wall street, the
thieves of Tammany Hall, and the Canal ring.
Ohio lias pointed the way. Pennsylvania, with
her gigantic strength, is following in the wake,
and the whole South bringing up the rear.
Wall street and Tammany Hall combined
can’t run the manufacturers of Pennsylvania,
the farmers of the West, and the planters of
the South.”
The Supreme Court of Georgia decided
on Tuesday, in the case of Bennett vs. Wil
liams, Executors, t’roin Mitchell-, that “a
promise not to collect the balance due on a
note, if the debtor will pay part thereef, all
being due at the time, untii the debtor is
put in possession of certain lands (said lands
being a part of the original considration of
the note), is void. Payment of part of the
money due on the note is no consideraton
in law to support such aproinise. It is the
duty of the debtor to pay without any con
dition.

church on the Gth inst., and passed the fol

Whereas, Recent events clearly demon
strate that a portion of our race are endeav
oring to get up a war of races, and they have
been influenced to do so by certain designing
men from abroad, who are laboring assidu
ously to convince our race that the land of
our former owners is ours, and in order to
carry out this idea are getting up secret meet
ings, under cover of night, and administering
an oath, to band us together for the purpose
of insurrection, rape and murder of the
whites, with the promise that the yankees
would come to our assistance as soon as we
commenced killing our white friends ; there
fore,
Resolved, that we consider all who are
engaged in the effort to alienate us from the
white race our enemies, and that we will not
connect or affiliate ourselves with such, in
any way or manner whatever.
Resolved further, That it is our wish to
remain in this country, and by our industry,
chaste conduct and obedience to the laws of
the State, to prove ourselves worthy of
the respect and confidence of the white peo
ple. and further declare that we will not coun
tenance, in any way, any of our race who are
not willing to do the same.

Cataleptic Rooster. —The Scientific Ame
rican describes the phenomenon which it says
has been observed for about two hundred
years, but never fully understood, as follows :
Place a dark table near a window where a
narrow streak of sunshine will fall across it.
Catch a rooster and place him on the table,
hold his beak against the table in the line of
sunshine, and then slowly draw a piece of
chalk from his beak, in the streak of light to
the outer edge of the table. By the time the
chalk is two feet from the beak, the rooster
will be in a cataleptic state, perfectly rigid
and motionless, and will remain so for an
indefinite time. Hens can be influenced in
the same manner, but are not so susceptible
as the male chicken.

thought he would by an experiment see how
much the dog knew. He procured a rope,
tied a knot on the end and lowered it to the
dog, who shortly seized it with his teeth and
hung on until drawn out of the hole. —Gold
