Our terms are CASH IN ADVANCE. MA.IOR COOPER. We call attention to the following letter of Hon. M. A. Cooper, in rela tion to the Cartersville & Van Wert Railroad. The information given Ls particularly acceptable in that it shows the entire invalidity of the bonds held by Clews, and consequent ly that not one them is binding upon the .State, being, in fact, no bonds at all; and further, that Major Cooper relieves himself clearly and conclu sively from all imputation of having, as was supposed, been a party to a fraud upon the State, in authorizing, improperly, the endorsement of these bonds. This he positively denies; so that, if any wrong his been attempt ed to be perpetrated, it was done not by him, but by Bullock, Kimball and Clews. This information, with more yet be hind which he promises and desires to lay before the legislative investi gating committee, throws much need ed light unon the management of this ill-starred road, and pretty well settles the fact that the purchase made at the late sheriff’s sale, conveys a good title to the purchaser. GLEN HOLLY, GA.) sth January, 1872. j For the Standard <£• Express, Cartersvi lie, Ga. Messrs. Editors: I see by your paper of the 4th inst., that the Governor, at the instance of Henry Clews and T. S. Fowler, has ordered the seizure of the Cartersville and Van Wert (now Cherokee,) Rail road, on account of 175 bonds of sl,- ()(»(» each, alleged to have been execu ted and negotiated by said company, endorsed by the State, and held and owned by them. And that $0,125 of interest on said bonds had become due on the same on the first day of September, 1870, and was unpaid, whereupon the State of Georgia, by her endorsement and guaranty, is hound to pay said interest, and there fore authorized to seize said road and equipments, Ac. It is publicly known that the valid ity of these bonds, and the legality of the alleged endorsement by the State, as well as the legal ownership of them, by jKcnry ( lews 4 Cos., had been se riously questioned by the legislature, and an investigation ordered by it, to ascertain the facts and determine the legal obligations of the State. The Governor has felt it ids duty to anticipate this investigation and to decide for the State that all these is sues are against the State, and in fa vor of Henry Clews & Cos. A crisis is now presented in the af fairs of the Cartersville & Van Wert Railroad Company which was antici pated by me, as President and Finan cial Head of that company, and was sought to be postponed. This was one of the main objects to be attained by me, as President, by the course I pursued in regard to the bonds; to wit: the postponement and accruing of interest, and the seizure of the road by the State, for failure to pay it.— Hence I endeavored to postpone the issue or negotiation of a single bond, even to the Contractors, (of whom H. 1. Kimball was chief,) to the latest day. Until the bonds were issued, (they could not issue without my order). No interest could accrue. For, al though they were all signed and da ted at once, in advance of any settle ment with the Contractors, it was ex pressly stipulated that, in paying out the bonds, the coupons should be ta ken off, to ballance the interest and be cancelled up to the date of issue. This crisis having now happened ! unexpectedly to me, i feel called on to depart, partially, from my express ed purpose to withhold any statement of facts until called on, by the Com mittee of the Legislature. 1, there fore, give here only the few facts per tinent to the crisis, answering for the Committee all other facts connected with the subject. First, in regard to the issue of the tirst mortgaged bonds of the Cartersville A Van Wert Rail road Company. None have ever been issued or paid out by me, as Presi dent, or otherwise, to any one, at any time, except the 75 bonds delivered to Mr. li. I. Kimball, to be used as collateral to protect his credit in New York, on maturity of a draft for iron furnished and shipped to the road.— But to be returned to me at live days notice. Secondly. As regards the State's Endorsement. Not a bond has ever been indorsed by the Governor by my order, consent or procurement, or with knowledge on my part. On the contrary of this, in regard to the 200 bonds which I consented to have de posited with the Governor, (or with the Secretary of State in his absence,) it was stipulated that they should not be endorsed or used without my order. I have never given any order or re quest to have them so used. I never have betui requested or called on to so do. Thirdly. As regards Henry Clews A Cos. Whilst I think, as I have heretofore said, that the State in ‘Jus tice and Wisdom’ should pay his claim, for money mid and used to build this road, I think it ought not to be done on account of these bonds, first, because they have not been le gally issued or legally endorsed. Sec ondly, because he is not legally the owner of them. Mr. Clews was Treasurer of the road, duly appointed by me, as Pres ident, and as I learn was the friend and financial agent of the contract ors—habitually supplying funds. As n vigilant contractor, if not as an offi cial, receiving his appointment from me, lie should have communicated with me. 1 have never had a word or line from him, directly or indirect ly, on this or any other subject, in my life. Ido not know r him when I see ' Min. # Yet, I say he ought to be paid. Jus tice, wisdom and good policy requir jn? it. But not on the bonds. In . »*;iß way only: Let him withdraw petition, the Governor his order, ' | e turn the bonds, and have new bonds legally issued and legally endorsed, •>r the old ones ratified arid take them, ihen pay the workingmen and em ployers, and let the State take the road by seizure, if necessary, or take the road himself. 4,, 1 9*‘ erokee Road, with its Char nghts, is worth more money.

DECISION OF JUnOK PARROTT IN CHEROKEE KAII.ROAD CASK. CHEROOKEE R. R.C0.,1 8i11,4c.. Eves 4 McGiitty, et at. |in Bar vs. tow Su- Hknky CtiEWB A Cos., etal.) perior Court, argued before Judge Parrott, at Cartersville, January Ist, 1872. After considering the Bill and an swer, and hearing counsel, the Court ruled as follows: 1. Counsel for defendents represent ing execution creditors of the road, in sists tliat they should not be enjoined, for the reason that they are based on debts for labor done and performed on and for the read, before any bonds or other liens ever existed against the road, and that their lien is of higher dignity than any other, even though it be a lien created by endorsement by the State, and a debt due the pub lic. The Court considers this position well taken; for the constitution pro vides that the laborer shall be protect ed, and specially excepts debts due laborers, in Art. 3rd Sec. 6 of the con stitution, in the provision authorizing the creation of the lien in behalf of the State, by the granting of State aid to companies. Hence the lien of these execution creditors, predicated on debts for labor, is the highest known to the laws of Georgia. It is not the province of a Court of equity to impair or destroy this lien, hut it is deemed legal and equitable to suspend its enforcement for a time, that injustice and loss may not accrue to other creditors of this debtor. It is obvious to the Court that a sale of this property might greatly damage the debtor, and do manifest injury to other creditors if sold under existing circumstances. Therefore it is deemed proper to re strain these judgment creditors from selling the property, until the diffi culties and doubts now encumbering title to the road can he removed and the whole sold together under decree of a Court of Chancery. It is proper, however, that these complainants, who ask the interposi sition of the restraining power of a Court of Equity, should lx: required to give bond with good security for the forthcoming of this property now levied on to answer these judgments, when the same can lie sold, so they may suffer no loss. 2. Henry Clews A Cos., of New York, claim to hold 175 bonds, amounting to $175,000.00,. of this Railroad Com pany endorsed by the State of Geor gia, and upon which they claim an amount of interest to be due, and un paid, and have applied to the acting Governor of the State for the pay ment of said interest, and, it is alleg ed, by complainants, have secured the appointment of their agent or at torney, Col. D. S. Printup, as agent of the State under proclamation of the Governor, to seize said road. It is insisted that this attorney proposes to represent both parties—the State as a debtor, and Clews A Cos. as creditor. Complainants insists that Clews A Cos. have no valid debt or claim a gainst the State or the Cherokee rail road—that their pretended bonds are illegal and void—and that their at torney should be restrained from seizing or possessing said road for the purpose of securing the payment of interest on said bonds, or for any oth er purpose. The law authorizing the endorse ment of bonds of this company by the State, provides that the bonds may be issued and endorsed as sections of five miles of the road are completed according to law. That at the com pletion of each section of five miles, 862,500.00 worth of bonds should be issued and endorsed. It docs not au thorize any to be issued for fractions or parts less than five miles, except at the last section, which might be less than five miles. Complainants charge that less than fifteen miles is partially completed— that only two full sections are pre tended to be finished, and, under no construction of the law, could more than $125,000 in bonds be legally is iued, and that, for this reason, $50,- 000 of the claims of Clews Cos. is in valid and should not be paid. The Court is of the opinion that, if these charges are sustained by proof, said $50,000 are not due by the com pany or the State, and their collection and the interest thereon should be enjoined. 3. It is shown that, at the time these bonds claimed by Henry Clews A Cos. were issued, no part of said road was built and completed, and in such condition as required by the Statute under which it is claimed they were issued. That five miles of said road was not finished and completed ac cording to law. Complainants charge that the officers of the road, and the officers of the State, had no legal au thority to issue these bonds now claim ed by Clews & Cos., and that they had claimed to be issued and endorsed by the State, are null and void. The Governor is either the State or its agent. It will not be insisted that he is the former, but that the Commonwealth is the principal and that the Governor is the agent. In this case he w T as the special agent authorized to perform a special act in a particular and clearly defined man ner. llis power and authority were the constitution and statute authorizing the act to be done. His endorsement of these bonds, if not done in accordance the statute, (which was his power of attorney,) if not authorized by the Statute, are not binding upon his principal, which is i the State of Georgia, and must be void. In special agencies for a particular purpose, persons dealing with the a gent should examine his authority. Code of Ga., Sec. 2170. Clews & Cos. were dealing with a special agent empowered to do a par ticular act. His authority was the act of the legislature. It was their duty to see to it that this act was complied with. If the agency be special,everything done is void, unless in strict conform ity with the authority. Allen & Og- ! den \\ ashington Circuit court reports ! 174. Davis & Robb 2 Cranch C. C. 458 If this endorsement was not in strict conformity with the authority (the Statute) it was void. The company may prove, under the plea of nonest factum, that requisitions of the act, necessary to the validity of the execution, have not been com plied with. Abbott’s laws of corpo rations 128. This authority sustains the position that the company may sustain plea of nonestfactum which would effectu ally relieve it from liability upon these bonds. 3. It is insisted that Henry Clews was an officer of the company at the time these bonds were issued, and that his signature as treasurer appears signed to the cupons upon them, and that he must have known that these bonds were illegally issued, for the reason that the law was not complied with which authorized their issue. If this is true, he bought with notice of the irregularities and took them subject to any defences which the ob ligors have. Stover vs. Town of Genoa, 23 N. Y., 139, Abbott Corpora tion, 128. 4. Counsel argued that there is still a more vital objection to these bonds than those appearently insuperable referred to heretofore, which is that the constitutional requirement which underlies this whole question of State aid and endorsement of bonds by the State has not been complied with in this case. The following wise and powerful safe-guard is placed in the Constitu tion of Georgia, Art. 3, Sec. 6, Par. 5, to-wit: “ The credit of the State shall not he granted or loaned to aid any com pany without a provision that the whole property of the company shall be bound for the security of the State prior to any other debt or lein, ex cept to laborers; nor to any company in which there is not an equal amount invested by private persons.” This is clear, plain, unmistakable language, and speaks eloquently in behalf of the tax-payers of the State, to all officers, legislative, executive and judicial. It means that private individuals shall have (in good faith) invested, (not promised to invest) that is put in money or its equivalent in amount equal to the bonds endorsed or pro posed to be endorsed before the en dorsement is made. It means that if this is not done that the endorsement shall not be made, and the State and its tax-pay ers shall not be bound. It is insisted that no such amount “ was invested by private persons ” when these bonds were issued. It is insisted that no equal amount to these bonds has yet been “ invested ” by private parties ” in this company or in this road. If this charge can be sustained by proof, the eourt is of opinion that the bonds would be declared void for this reason. If bonds were issued in violation of the Constitution of the State, they are without authority and must be held void even in the hands of bona fide holders. United States Supreme Court 1859, Aspinwall vs. Commis sioners county of Davies 22, How ard 364, Abbott’s Law Corporations 128. These allegations are made and sus tained with considerable plausibility by the pleadings and evidences sui>- mitted in this case. Hence it is deemed safe and just to use the re straining power of a court of equity to enjoin this agent or attorney of Henry Clews A Cos. and of the Gov ernor of the State, and keep these matters in abeyance until they can be properly investigated according to the rules of law in a court of equity. 5. In this case the agent or attorney of Henry Clews A Cos. is the same person who claims to be the agent of the State authorized to seize the road. Hence it is difficult for the court to separate these characters, they being united in one person as charged in the pleadings. As this agent appears in Court as a creditor of this company, in one case as the holder, and in the other as en dorser, Clews claims to be holder, and the Governor being put forward as representing the endorser of these bonds, the Court will be constrained to treat him as the agent of a creditor seeking the enforcement of a contract which is contested by the company ami other creditors. The judiciary being an independ ent co-ordinate branch of the State Government, and the only power au thorized by the constitution and laws of the State, to adjudicate contested claims between debtor and creditor, and being authorized, by the consti tution, to issue injunctions and use the powers of Courts for the protec tion of the people’s rights, this Court deems it just, lawful and proper to use this power in this case just as in any other coming properly before it. 6. There are charges made in this ease which indicate that bonds have been issued, by the officers of this road, and endorsed by Gov. Bullock, amounting to the fabulous sum of $610,000, or other sum near that a mount, and that only about fourteen miles of the road is pretended to be completed. It is charged that this fourteen miles of road is not built and completed according to law. It is al so charged that, under these officers and with these bonds and enormous debts upon the road, it is not paying or proposing to pay any of its honest debts—even its day laborers. And that they have abandoned the broad gauge or first class road, and are pro posing to take up the iron already laid down, and substitute a narrow gauge of inferior quality. All these charges induce the belief naturally, that there is a great wrong in this management some where.— The impression of fraud and corrup tion forces itself upon the mind. This Court deems it due to the peo ple of Georgia, to the honest stock holders of this company, and to the bona fide creditors, that all these mat ters should be investigated properly in a Court of justice, and, therefore, sanctions the injunction.

WARMING railway cars. The introduction of anew method of warming railway cars, on some of the French and German lines, has been attended with gratifying suc cess. A preparation of wood, char coal, nitrate of potash, and starch is employed. At first the charcoal was burnt in perforated boxes two feet and one-half inches wide, and two and three fourth inches deep. It was soon found, however, that this combustion caused violent headaches, and the charcoal was therefore put into close iron boxes, placed under the seats, a double top being employ ed to prevent the seats of the cars becoming too hot. The prepared charcoal is packed in the boxes in pieces four inches long, three inches wide, and two inches thick. On the line between Aix-la-Chapelle and Berlin, eight pieces of charcoal were used for heating a compartment. This quantity efficiently warmed the ear during sixteen hours, and at the end of the journey, the fuel was still red hot. This prepared charcoal costs thirty-two shillings per ewt., and the expenses of heating one compartment is said to be much less than that re quired by any of the ordinary meth ods employed, being less than a pen ny an hour.

Cartersville. Jan. 2d 1872.—3 t CARTERSVILLE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. We, the subscribers, will commence our ex ercises in the above Institute, on the SECOND MONDAY INJANUARY, 1872. There will be three departments in this In stitution. viz: Scholastic, Academic, and Col legiate, thereby enabling the citizens of Car tersville, and the adjacent country, to enjoy the privilege of giving their children a complete and thorough education, which, heretofore, they have been compelled to seek in distant institu tions. Whilst, at present, we are compelled to teach the elementary branches, in order to sus tain ourselves, yet our ultimate aim will be to build up an Institution of the highest order. We intend to prepare the youth who may be entrusted to our charge, for all the walks, either of private or of public lifte ; and whilst we are imparting that knowledge, and those scientific principles which will enable them to take a high and distinguished stand among their fel low-men, we will also instruct them in that higher knowledge and moral culture, which alone can elevate man for that sphere which God intended him to fill. This Institution will consist of Male and Fe male scholars, giving girls here a chance to prepare themselves either for teachers or for business stations in life, thus enabling them to make an independent living. The tuition will be from $2 00 to SSOO per month, according to grade, pavable monthly. The government of this institution will be mild, but firm. As order is the first law of na ture, so children must, aud will, be governed, that are entrusted to our care. Large boys and girls will be put upon their parole of honor, and if they do, at any time, violate the rules of the institution, they must immediately reform, or else retire from the Institution. As no corrupting nor demoralizing influence will be tolerated in this Institution, our rules are simply obedience and hard study ; and if parents or guardians will give us their co-op eration, they will be sure to get the worth of their money. We intend to have our Institution incorporated, so as to confer degrees. J. B.SCUDDER, RONALD JOHNSTON. Carters ville/Ga., Dec. 21.1871. STERLING SILVER-WARE.
