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.

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
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.
