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. McDermed sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens. 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. respectable portion of the colored people of Laurens county met at Rocky Creek church on the Gth inst., and passed the fol lowing resolutions: 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.

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.
