Carrollton Law Club.— The mem beis of the bar having once more re turned trom the fields of litigation to their own native city, met on Tuesday night in the court room ton* the pur pose of legal discussion. On Tuesday evening Lady Lipham went before Justice Moore and took a peace warrant for her husband, Jack son Lipham. He was accordingly ar rested and brought before the Justice to ascertain by investigation whether he should be bound over in bond to keep the peace. Lady Lipham swore on the stand that defendant had curs ed aiq] abused her, and at divers times had drawn a knife around her throat, threatening to kill her and on the pre ceding night had struck and hurt her, and by previous mistreatment had in jured her health. Lady Morris the plaintiff ’s mother swore that defend ant had on several occasions abused am] threatened plaintiff Defendant introduced Dr. Cheney. lie testified that defendant callptj pn him for med icine stating that he did not want it for himself but for plaintiff, who was standing some ten or twelve steps from the consultation. The prescrip tion which in accuracy was a balsam furnished, was received by defendant from witness, by witnesses testimony on the stand. The members of the club- took up the cqso and argued it before the court, occupying from 7 o’clock until mid night, the court room being crowded. The power of Hercules and Sampson was manifested by the counsel on both sides. For fiye hours the eloquent voice of the advocate rose like the de lightful strains of Amphion’s lyre, The arguments produced by most of the lawyers were as fine as the reck of f; ! Gibraltar, and as “ clear as an icicle frosted by the whitest snow that ever hung from Dian’s temple.” Enough laughter was expended by the assem bly to have lasted an economical man a dozen life times. A* next meeting the club will debate the question se lected a month ago. Justice Moore released the prisoner and ordered the plaintiff to pay the C*o3t, Editor Times:— Will you please publish the following, by way of cor rection, of the proceedings of last weeks aourf, as published in your last issue- which is {firmly JLhe truth. By so doing von will remoye, to some ex tent, the idea of invidious:ic33 and par tiality entertained by s.qme of your subscribers. You say in your editori al of said proceedings: “The first case tried was that of Jefferson j&inme ys. Jesse Kinnie, Morrells for plaintiff and Austin for defendant; thejuvy render ed a verdict for the plaintiff. The next case was the case of Eli Benson vs. J. W. Latimer on a land note, for S3OO, Austin for plaintiff’ and Morrells for defendant; flip jury sealed the note, and gave a verdict for $125, with in terest and cost of suit.” Now the first suit was predicated on two notes for SSO, each given in 1859, and six other notes for SSO, each given in 1863, and it was expressed upon the face of all of said notes, to be for the purchase of land; and the jury gave the full amount of the first two notes, but scaled the 1-jst mentioned six notes, amounting in flic aggregate to S3OO. In the Benson vs. Latimer case the suit was predicated on a due bill for S3OO, dated in 1868; there being no expression upon its face as to what was the consideration; it was proven however, to be for lands; and the jury as you say, gave a verdict for with interest and cost of suit. This much is due to a correct state ment of the trial, and result of the two cases. Respectfully, Attorney. For the Times. Letter from Allens Mills. A SAD OCCURRENCE -CHILD BURNED TO DEATH. .Editor Times :—A sad occurrence took place in our neighborhood on Friday evening oth inst. A little daughter of Jasper W. and Cordelia A. McWhorter, aged three years was with its mother at the wash place.— After washing was done the mother told it to come on and go to the house. She proceeded to the house thinking the child was following, on arriving, she percived it had not porno. Taking up her infant immediately, she started back, but oh! lamentable to meet it coming enveloped in flames. Quickly laying aside her infant she proceeded to disrobe it of the remain ing burning fragments, after which she took both the infant and it to the house. By this time a near neighbor and her husband had arrived and found her dress in a flame, but ex tiiigv*ishpd it without her receiving any very serious injury. The little daughter being burned to a crisp from her ankles to her breast all round, sur vived about 12 hours, during which time ;t called its mother’s attention to the burnt condition of its legs; fre quently called for \yater; raising itself up to receive it, and calling by name of its nearest relatives who were around, it, retaining its mind to the last. M. A. W. The boys say it is time to go a fishing, as the Dog wood are in bloom- For the Times. Letter trom W. J. D. Editor Times As I have a leis ure hour I will now, for the benefit of my two friends J. J. TANARUS., and B. M. L., spend a few moments pi tho way of an explanation as respects the correct solution of the coaeh problem. But before j give my solution I wish to say a word or two in direct reference to my friend J. J. Ts. conviction. Al though he may consider himself deep ly earnestly, and thoroughly convicted, yet, I feel assured of one thing, and that is, I will convert him again. He will fall from grace! I also notice his request that I shall send in my proof per contra , or take down my sign as a mathematician. I have only to add, that probably he will think by the time I get through, he had better low or his flag a little, just a leetie. I wish to call your attention gentle men to one fact One coach (and only one) leaves Charleston each day. .So that in seven days only fourteen coaches could possible get upon the road. The traveler himself must be in one of these coaches. llow then can he meet fourteen others? I will now proceed to give a correct solution, in which, I think, those gen tlemen will readily coincide with me, as there will be no room for contro versy. A traveler starting from Carrollton on Monday, April Ist, arrives in Charleston Sunday April 7th. lie meets all the coaches that leave Charleston from April Ist to April 7 th, which are seven. Now, the coaches which leave Charleston from Sunday, March 31st, to Tuesday March 26th, (which are six,) do not all arrive in Carrollton until April 7th, which is after he leaves on April Ist. So he is bound to meet thirteen coaches ami no more oil the way, unless he flanks them. Furthermore, gentlemen you Avill understand that the coach which leaves Charleston on tho 25th March, rets into Carrollton the 31st March, which is before the traveler starts. But you will readily perceive the coach which leaves Charleston the 26th March will arrive in Carrollton the Ist of April, the day the traveler starts on his journey. Again, you plainly see he must only meet those coaches which leave from the 26th March to the 7th of April, which, if I can count, are only thirteen, fn gom.eption will! the above, Mr. Editor, I will just state that I am pre pared to give proper solutions of those enigmas published in your Nos. of the 9th and IGtfi, February last. Not having time, nor space now, I desist. Respectfully, W. J. 1). Sand Hill, April 1872. F. S.-Mr Jas. Hamrick informs me he will probably have up some ten more subscriptions for your paper in a short time, also that hoc/r/ie that seems to haunt some of your exchang es so much, is up, and doing well for himself. W. J. D. (Communicated.) Decoration Day. The twenty sixfii of April will soon be here. Have we no Confed erate Dead in our Cornet cry ? Let not their graves, their names, their memories be forgotten. Let us, the rather, honor them, and be proud of them. Call a meeting Mr. Editor, and in vite our people to take part in the an nual floral and heart offering to our fallen heroes. The time will be suit able, too, for the surviving members of the gallant Forty First, and all other ex-Confederates, to meet snd make ar rangements to quite iq the tribute of respect to the memory of Colonel C. A. McDaniel, whose remains will he brought from Kentucky to be reintered in Bowdon next July.

Carroll Superior Court, April Term 1872. We the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn beg leave to submit the follow ing report. We report the records and papers of the Superior Clerk, Ordinary, Tax Receiver, Tax Collector and County Treasurer, all neatly and correctly kept and in a manner higldy credita ble to those officers. We recommend that the Ordinary have built a good and safe jail and to select a suitable site for the same.— Making such disposition of the pres ent jail as shall in his judgement seem best for the benefit of the county inasmuch as we consider the present jail insecure and of not sufficient capacity. \V e find in the hands of the oounty Treasury of County funds Sixteen Hundred and Seven Dollars. We report the road from CqiToiitoq to Moores bridge and that portion of the road in the Fitth district leading from Moores bridge to Villa Rica in bad condition. There is some com plaint of the steepness of the east end of the bridge on the Bowdon and New nan Road, known as the Tumliu bridge. We also report the streets of Carrollton leading by the Methodjst church autj to Bowdon as nearly im passable. We respectfully call the at tention of the proper authorities to this subject, and request them to have them put in good condition as soon as practicable. With these exception we report the condition of the roads gen erally better than for many years, and hereby tender to the Ordinary, Dis trict Commissioners ami Overseers our thanks for the faithful discharge of their duties. We recommend that the Ordinary have a bridge built across the Talla poosa River near Samuel Harts on the Jacksonville and Villa Rica road, and also to complete and pay for the bridge across Snakes Creek near Amis’ Mills on flip new road from Bowen ville to the Villa Rica road near the double branches. We recommend that a tax of fifty per cent on the Stare tax be levied for county purposes, and fifteen per cent for paupers, and in addition a special tax for building tho Jail, provided tho same shall be put under contract We allow the Ordinary three hun dred dollars for the year 1872 for ser vices rendered and to be performed for which no pay is allowed by law. To the Clerk of the Superior Court forty dollars for extra servies the pres ent term. To the Sheriff fifty dollars for attendance and extra service du ring and before this term of the Court, and also that the Sheriff furnish a list of all persons in his employ during this term of the Court, and that they be paid two dollars for each dais ser vice, and reasonable hire per day for each horse employed, and further that Jurors be allowed two dollars per day. We have in pursuance of a recent act »ff the Legislature, elected the fol loyring pained persons as the “County Board of Education" for Carroll coun ty: Prof. A. C. Reese, Prof. F. 11. M. Henderson, and Judge W. B. Brace well for two yeas, and Pi’of. John M. Richardson and James P. Griffin for four years. W e at present decline to advise the organization of the County Court as authorized by a late act of the lcgisla ture. We*learn with regret that parties in disguise have approached and at tacked the laborers employed by Capt. Massey, on the line of the Savannah Griffin and North Ala., Railroad in this county thereby dispersing them greatly to the detriment of not only the interest ot Capt Massey, but also of the citizens of this county. We therefore call upon all the civil officers and good citizens to use eveiy effort in their power to suppress all such ille gal acts. In taking leave of his honor Judge Wright, A\*e desire to express our high appreciation of the able manner in which he has discharged his official duties during the present term, and to the Solicitor General Cox, we tender our thanks for his kindness and atten tion to this body. We reccommend that these present ments be published in the Carroll County Times. Benjamin M. Long Foreman, James A Jones, John D Prewitt, Samuel M Craven, And.

A McDaniel, Robt T McCurdy, David J Moore, Wm. O Rob.inson. We the undersigned while in" the main agreeing to all else in the Gener ral presentments, object to that part which relates to the payment of two dollars per Jay for Jurors for reasons as follows: Ist. Because we can see no good reason why we should receive money from the county Treasurer when we have the same money to pay at a loss of the commissions of the Tax Re ceiver, Tax Collector and County Treasurer. 2d. The increase of pay of Jurors to two dollars, will in our opinion, have the effect to increase the number of persons heretofore known as profes sional jurors who will always be on hand at the opening- of our Courts to be summoned as talesmen. 3d. If we double our own pay, to be just and consistent, we must in crease the pay of all the county officers, and employees, inasmuch as by law the increase of pay is now left to the Grand Jury. • 4th. For reasons which did not exist prior to the close of the late war, the standard of intelligence of Jurors has been necessarily raised and the number of citizens selected to serve as jurors, as a consequence reduced hence the proposed increase of pay will benefit only a few and can’t fail to arouse the prejudices of all others, not on the jury lists, and we fear will end in placing the names of qualified and unqualified persons including all classes and colors in the Jury Box.

April 5,1872-ts. Editorial Notices are so common that it is almost impossible for an edi tor to express his honest opinion of the merits of anv article without being suspected of interested motives. This fact, however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of anew addi tion to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently direc ted. We refer to Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy which is making its way into more families just now than all the other advertised medicines put together.— There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while it possesses the great negative recommendation of contain ing neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a specific for Indigestion, Billiousngss, Constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assured on good authority that as a general invigorant, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients, (obtained from the wilds of California,) are new to the medical world; arid its extraordi nary effects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If pop ularity is any criterion, there can Vie no doubt of the efficiency of the Vin egar Bitters, for the sale of the article is immense and continually increas ing. ‘ 4w ftST Sul ►scribe for votir county pa per.

A Representative and Champion American Art Tlie Aldine & An Illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to be the hansomest Papeer in the World. “Give my love to the artist workmen of tuk aldi.nk who are striving to make their profesion worthy of admiration for bounty, as it has always been for usefulness.”— Henry Word Beecher - The Ai.dlnk, while issued with all tho-reg*- nlanty, has noue of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodic als- It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature, and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number aflords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldine will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the close of the year.— While other public publications may qlaipi superior cheapness as compared with rivalsof a similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original conception—alone and unapproach ed—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of the volume just completed cannot dnplicate the quantity, of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number Qf volumes for ten times its cost. The labor of getting The Aldine ready on the press is so gieat that rgpri ting is out ot the question- With the exception of a small number specially reserved for biuding, the e dition of 1871, is already exhausted, it ig now a scarce as well as valuable book. NEW FEATURES FOR 1872- art DEPARTMENT. The enthusiastic support so readily accord ed to their enterprise, wherever it luis been introduced, has convinced the publishers of The Aldine of the soundness of their theory that the American public would recognize and heartily support any sincere effort to ele vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub lications. That so many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive is not evidence that there is no market for anything bettcr-indeed thesug; cess of The Aldine from the start is direct proof of the contrary. With a population to vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath er indicative of his own than of the taste ot the country. Asa guarantee of the excel lence of tki3 department,the psib’JsharjS would beg to announce during the coming year specimens from the following artists: W T Rickards, Granville Perkins, James Smiley, Wm liar., F O C Darley, K E Piquet, Wm Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Beard, George Smiley,Wm H Wilcox, Paul Dixon, Aug. Will, James II Beard, J Howe, These pictures are being reproduced with out regard to expense by the very best en gravers in the country, and will bear the se verest critical comparison with the best for eign work, it being the determination of the publishers that The Aldine shall be a success ful vindication of American taste in compe tition with any existing publication in the tft)i UI.
