Judgments Cun lie Re-Opened
Under the Relief Law.
Tho Supreme Court, has just render
ed its decision upon the questions !
brought up to and argued at the last
term, connected with re-opening judg- j
meats under the relief laws.
For the benefit of our unprofession
al readers, we give a statement of the
ruling, as the matter is one of general
interest and great importance.
Two eases from Elbert county, White
vs. Herndon, and White vs. Rucker;
one case from Bryan county, Rems
lieart vs. Haiu; one from Carroll coun
ty, Connell vs. Vaughn; and one from
Randolph county, Guuu vs. Janes, were
before the Court.
In the first two cases, the Judge re
i fused to allow the motion to open the
judgments. Brown and McCay, a rna
! jority of the Court, decide that he
should have allowed the motion, and
1 let in nil cross actions, equitable de
-1 feuscs, and rights that have accrued
since the judgment, though judgments
! can not be indiscriminately opened for
causes of legal defense, that it was the
defendant s duty to have plead during
the suit.
In other words, judgments can be
opened under the relief law, even
though the statutory time has expired,
and all equitable defense, and 1 11 relief
defenses can' be plead.
Judge Warner dissented, on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
In the Bryan county case, however,
i the Court would not open a judgment
1 to show a tender of Confederate mon
ey; nor in the Carroll county and Ran
| dolph county cases, to show great war
losses, that were not the fault of the
I plaintiff; though, if the defendant’s
losses had been duo to the plaintiff, the
judgment could have been scaled just
i as a note.
| These decisions about wound np the
huge matter of relief. —Atlanta Condi

Terrible Explosion.
About eleven o’clock yesterday morn- 1
ing, our city was startled by a terrible
concussion that shook the houses, rat- ;
tling the doors and windows, aud!
sounding like heavy artillery. It was !
occasioned by the bursting of the boil
er at the steam mill of Wadsworth,
Williams & Cos., near the Rolling Mill.
At the time of the explosion Mr. S.
Tom Rhudy, the engineer, and Frank,
a son of James Duke, were in the en-;
gine room. This was literally torn to!
pieces, hardly two planks being left to-;
gethcr. Both of Mr. Rliudy’s legs
were broken below the knees, and we
learn since that one of them has been
amputated. He was otherwise nniu-;
jured. Frank Duke was severely hurt
in the stomach, and now li ;s iu a very
critical condition.
The main part of the mill is a wreck,
being completely shattered, the walls
burst out, and the second story, with
its contents, fell down to the first floor.
A negro boy, Charles, was the only per
, son in the mill room. He was blown
out through the door and to the dis
tance of twenty feet; and. strange to
I say, was not hurt.
J Messrs. J. R Noble and Lewis Hall
were in the basement, and not injured j
at all’. About six feet of the boiler was j
blown over Noble’s store, striking on
the gable end of it, and tearing down
: that end of the building. The head of
the boiler was thrown some 200 yards,
and lit in the street near Frank Rawls’
residence. Some Lo brick were throw n
through the window of Mr. Col dough's
residence, breaking tho window to
! pieces, but doing no other material
damage. Little Benny Eve was slight
ly hurt, and a mule and two oxen were
badly scalded.
t We have mentioned above all the j
; casualties that wo could see or hear of, I
though it is truly wonderful that so
; few persons were hurt in such a scat
-1 tering of fragments. The boiler, we !
i are told, was an old one, and the pro- ]
; prietors contemplated its removal at an
early day.—Jfcttte Courier 1 8th.

ItSisieral Wealth of Georgia.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Methodist Advoeate, |writes to th it
paper as follows, concerning the Csr
tecay Gold Mines of Gilmer county, hi
this State. *
I promised in iny last to toll yon
more of the mineral wealth of this
mountain region. In company with
brother Barnett Wils< n, I visited the
Cartecay Gold Mines. These mines
are in Gilmer County, nine miles north
east of Eilijay. They were wo-.ked
| twenty years ago, but not thoroughly.
! The records kept nt the Dahlonega
Mint show the receipts from the sur
face mining there to be more than one
hundred and seventy thousand dollars
in dust and quartz. The “vein,” or
“lead” of gold, lnu never been found,
yet the indications are that it is no*
far oft’. The gold lot now being work
!ed is owned by Messrs. W. W. Leake
& Brothers, who have tmployed Cap*.
Teeler, an educated and practical mi
ner, to develop the lead or vein. The
Captain has had 12 years’ experience
in California mines, as well as experi
ence in the mines of his native country,
Prussia, and after two weeks’ work in
clearing up and making ready for the
search, feels confident of suect.ss. Af
ter dinner at the miners’ cabin, where
cooking is done in California style, 1
.u>ent two hours in looking through
the mines. Some places were well dug
up, and I was assured by the Captain
t mt it would pay from two to ten pen
nyweights per day to the man to wash
all this earth again. I procured here
in my first mining experience, half a
pennyweight of gold. I obtained also,
some fine specimens of copperas, (sul
phate of iron.) in quartz, and return
ed fully satisfied that the gold of that
land was good. Other mines have
! been opened along the White Path, and
when tho right of “claim” is adjusted,
these will be worked.
Macon & Bnrxswicit Railroad. —
The Macon <s' Brunswick Railroad,
one of the most important now in the |
process of construction in the State, is ;
rapidly rearing completion. The Ha
con T\l graph, mentioning this road,
says: “Wo understand that parties
were in the city yesterday for the pur- I
pose of purchasing a silver spike, with I
which to close the great work e*f the ;
Macon & Brunswick Railroad. There j
was on Tuesday last, a gap of only |
three miles between the approaching
forces of workmen, and by Saturday j
we confidentially expect to announce j
that tho last spike, and a silver one at j
that, has beeu driven, and that the 1
Macon & Bruswick Railroad is ccm- j
pleted. The interest of the entire
Southeastern and central portions of
Georgia have long been involved in
the completion of this great work, and
it will be hailed with joy by all classes
of people in those sections. On Mon
day next, Macon & Brunswick, like two
sisters that have long been separated
from tho family circle, will bound into
each other’s arms, and what a gay
time they will ha\e. Macon will tell
Branny what a large town she is;
what great merchants and commer
cial men she has; how they will sup
ply her with bacon, corn, and western
produce; aud little Branny will tell
Macon all about her flue fisheries, her
magnificcut harbor, her lumber trade,
and how she will keep her supplied
with oysters, fish and other luxuries of
the seaboard. Bravo, Mr con ! Bully,
Branny !

your paper to make u few rcinai k < n
| reference to things in general:
As we predicted, week before last,
; when we signed our name to the com
munntion, which, prior to that time, had
been written over tlio signature of
“Tell-Tale,” the quid mine*, tattlers
and busy-bodies, have played their
parts “up to hull-gull;” they have nev
er permitted an opportunity to pass
when they could get to put in a single
word in derogation of us, bat what
they have done it; they say a great many
things reflecting upon our character
and if the respectable, intelligent por
tion of the population of Cartersvilto
did not look upon them with that de
gree of contempt and scorn, which
those engaged in back-biting, and tat
tling so j unity merit, might, to s mie
extent, injure us. To thoso who have
been guilty of this low, mean and de
grading conduct, and those alone, do
we refer; the guilty ones, will no
doubt, take all we may say in this
communication to themselves —if they
do, then we will have accomplished
just what we have much desired; but,
ou the other hind, vve dot wish those
who arc clear of the charges to con
strue this communication in such a way
as to m ike it applicable to thems. Ives-
We say it with feelings of regret and
contempt, commingled, that tattlers of
the feminine gender, have taken stock
in this matter, and never grow weary
of disgracing themselves, by trying to
injure us! They have our sympathy,
indeed, they ought to be pitied, rather
than censured, by every one—
sympathy tinctured with scorn and
bitter contempt; such characters as
these, are perfect nuisances; they are
never satisfied unless they are breed
ing strife and contention in a commu
uity—they aie happy only when oth
ers, through their instrumentality and
chicanery, are made miserable; they
rejoice in the downfall of any and all.
and so strive to accomplish this end,
by carrying news from one to another,
pretending to be your best friend,
and one in whom you can repose
confidence —beware ! they are “wolves
in sheeps’ clothing!” behold the “clo
ven foot!” spurn them as you would
the most venomous reptile that crawls
upon the earth, for they arc by far,
more dangerous!
When wo signed our name to the
communication, refered to, we did so,
to keep innocent parties from being
calumniated by these miserable tat
tlers, and for the express purpose of
giving those who wished it, an oppor
tunity of obtaining redress—we reit
erate it!
We desire to say to those who have
been making false and unjust re
marks about us, that we shall hold
them personably responsible, and re
quire, and intend to have, a retraction,
or the proof to substantiate any re
marks which may, in the future, be
made, reflecting upon our character.
We will not heed what has been said
in the past—we are willing to bury it
in the sea of forgetfulness—but in fu
ture we shall hold parties to a strict
| accountably.
As we have said before, we persona
i ted no one, in the communications,
! and if parties considered them person
al, it was caused by pangs of guilty
conscience. We desire this whole
matter hushed, which can be easily
accomplished, provided tattiers cease
their vile gossiping, and attend to
their own business. Hoping to hear
no more upon this very unpleasant
; subject, we remain, most respectfully,
yours, J. T. GIBSON.
