COLUMBUS THURSDAY HORSING, FEB. 11. A Party Fight.—Though Angier, a Radical Treasurer, elected by Radical rotes, brought the charges of corruption and dishonesty against Bullock, the lat ter is going to make it a party fight.— Pot Ash Farrow the lieutenant of the Governor has commenced the move ment, and Congress is to be implored to keop the Democrats from trying to save the treasury of the State from Bullock. We hope the new phase the question has assumed will let the Atlan ta Intelligencer and Constitution take part for the people of the State. The matter has now assumed a broader and more general issue than the mere re moval of the Capital. Bullock defends his robbery upon the ground that he is a Radical, and Radicals have a right to rob all honest people. Prentice occasionally puts in his pen to eliven the columns of the Louisville Courier-Journal. The following are the latest from him : Brownlow has been living for months in East Tennessee. He says that it is a "political paradise.” It resembles the ancient Garden only in having the devil in it. One great objection to female suffrage is that it would cause too much “pair ing off” at the polls. If you don’t want your widow to marry, get your life insured for such an amount that she can afford to live single. Detailed accounts are given of Patti’s first appearance in St. Petersburg, on the Bth of January. The Grand Du chess and all the Court, the ministers and the high nobility of Russia, were present. The wildest prices were paid for places, the stalls being let on an av erage of sixty dollars in gold, apiece.— Never before has Patti created such a furore. African M. E. Conference Bishop J. M. Brown, Presiding— FoußTn Day.— We are indebted to Rev. E. L. Bailey, of Columbus, for the following report of yesterday’s proceed ings in Asbury Chapel: Conference was opened by singing the hymn, "How beauteous are their feet,” led by Rev. T. G. Stewart. Prayer by Rev. Wesley Mapp, after reading the first chapter of Paul’s epis tle to Titus. The roll was called and minutes read and npproved. On motion, Rev. 11. M. Turner, chair man of tho committee, was allowed to read to Conference the petitions from churches. There never was such an unanimity of calls for the return of pastors in this Conference. Fifteen letters had been read, when, the thirty minutes allowed haviDg expired, the reading of the remainder was postponed until to day. The report on Missions was read by Secretary Stewart, but, on motion, was recommitted, with some valuable sug gestions from the Bishop. He 'desired the Conference to be self sustaining. Numper of committees called for were not ready to report. Rev 11. M. Turner was added to Committee on the State of the Church. The report from the Committee on Sunday Schools, read by Rev. E. L. Bailey, Chairman, elicited some discus sion from Revs. Turner, Woodland, Stewart, Bradley, and others. The ad dition of Rev. H. M. Turner, that min isters should preach four times a year to the Sunday School children, was in corporated into the report, when, as a whole, it was postponed until to-day. Pending the discussion of the addition, a minister remarked he had the gift of sermonising so as to interest children. Brother Woodland very happily oh served he could not see “how a man could hold an old sheep and could not a lamb.” This discussion drew out many speeches. [This Sunday School report, impress ing the necessity of schools, their im portance and usefulness, and recom mending a plan of encouraging them, was an admirable paper.— Local Sun and Times.] Question 7th—Who are admitted on trial or received in full connection ? was taken up. Those received in full connection are the following: David Pickett, W. 3. W. Sherman, Win. Ra vin, Samuel Steward, Aaron Robison, Larry Wood, Alfred McGee, Edward Purdy, Robert Strickland, Henry Dan iel, A. J. McDowell, Lazarus Gardner, M. F. Chun, J. W. Ricks, J. K. Brown, J. W. McDogal. The following were continued on trial: Ephraim Russell, Nelson Beacham, Job M. Brown. Owing to Rev. H. M. Turner feeling unwell, his sermon on Ministerial Edu cation was postponed until this evening. The Committee on Public Worship reported the following appointmets for the evening at 7] o’clock: Asbury Cha pel, Rev. S. R. Jones; First Baptist Church, Rev. Samuel Smith; Shady Grove, Rev. Jeremiah Brown. Rev. Joshua Woodland preaches on the Rise and Progress of the Church, at 7] o’clock Friday evening. Conference sits with closed doors this morning until 10] o’clock, when the session will be public. The Appearance op the Confer ence.—We remained a short time yes terday in the colored Conference, now in session in Columbus. The body is composed of some sixty well dressed colored preachers, from different por tions of the State. The Chairman, Bishop John M. Brown, of Baltimore, is a bright mulatto, with side whiskers, quick spoken, of pleasant manners and observes strict order, lie uses good language. While we were present he finished business in prompt style. We should say, looking from a distance, he was about thirty-five years of age. He is afflicted with rheumatism. The mem bers seem to respect, fear amt be attach ed to him. The book ageut, from Phil adelphia, Woodland, is black as the ace of spades, wears gold spectacles, is very fat, and talks well. The Secretary, Stewart, is a very bright mulatto, slen der in statue, with fashionable mous tache and whiskers. He is editor of a Sunday School paper. The members, as a majority, are very black. The chief talker is H. M. Turner, of Hacon, a compound of impudence, borrowed information and ignoranco—just the being to make bad negroes of good freedmen. While he was reading some letters, without any cause or connec tion, he stated a certain negro preacher had been run from Clinton, Jones coun ty, by the KuKlux. Someone asked a question we could not hear, when he replied: "He said it was KuKlux.” The papers have given him some notice and radicals have flattered him because he was capable of exercising some influ ence, now gone, over the mass of ignor ant negroes, and he looks his import ance. The general impression of the Conference is of an orderly body, where • far more intelligence is exhibited than was expected. Large numbers of col ored people, mostly women, attend the •ewions. Tbe Tab to the Whale. The Georgia Legislature cast a tub to the Radical whale. The whale has swallowed it but still goes for ill- Geor gia Legislature. A Constitutional Amendment has been rushed thiough the Senate, providing for universal suffrage, and the right to hold office to negroes, but which does not provide for amnesty to the disfranchised whites. The amendment itself being amended in the Senate, must go hack and run the gauntlet of the House. This wil* be a matter of brief moment, and the prospect is that it will be presented to the Legislatures of the several States for adoption. We publish in another column a very carefully prepared ar ticle on the subject, from the New Yoik Times, from which it will be seen that that journal is opposed to the amend ment in its present shape, and is doubt ful as to its adoption. But we desiie to call attention particularly to the fact that the abasement of the Georgia Leg islature has not evoked meicy or lit) erality. Tho Senate has decided in the face of all the truckling and dirt tiling, that the vote of Georgia shall not ho counted. It has also, by its action, spurned the terms of “universal suffrage and universal amnesty." The Radical whale wants the Georgia Legislature to reseat the expelled negroes, in definance of a provision of the State Constitution. The whale will not be satisfied with any submission short of this, and the past history of the Legislature warrants the belief that the wants of the whale are to be satisfied. If the history of this reconstruction business has established l one fact beyond another, it is that Radi i calism cannot be appeased by humility j and concession. Stubborn resistance is ; the only thing with which to confront it, and to check its onward march. It Georgia had not resolutely met and struggled with it over every inch of ground, the would not to-day find her self in position where Radicalism fears to approach and attack her directly. If she now yields the vantage giound, her cowardice will but invite new op pressions and degradations. And there were never stronger reasons for stan ding firm than now. This new amend mentis not palatable to the North. The spirit of states rights is cropping out their even in Republican ranks. Anew ad ministration is about to be inaugurated. When its plans are unfolded and its places filled, the Radical party will ! stand as a unit no longer forever. Rad icalism does not feel strong enough to handle Georgia now, and the days of its strength are numbered. U)l!ii|ises or lh© Coining Future. We are pleased to know that one man of the North, at least, is getting his head suffliently level to look beyond the fine which marks the triumph aud fife of Radicalism. Don Piatt, a shrewd and observing man, a bitter and unre lenting hater of Southern men aud Southern institutions has had a grain of truth and sober sense forced through his cranium. Recently he paid a visit to } Arlington, the former estate of General i Lee, and the Federal cemeteries in and about that property. In a letter con- 1 tributed to the Cincinnati Commercial,} he gives vent to the varied emotions which were called up by that visit, Wc have not room for his savage attack up- ; ou Gen. Lee, or bis fanciful sketch of; the happy old negro with whom he met and conversed, but we append some extracts from his letter which may be read with interest. Mr. Piatt predicts peace wneu the destruction of the South is secured aud uot until then. Though great age may be granted him, he will not five to hail the day. The South has survived a shock that would have de- j stroyed a nation less honest and cour ageous. Radicalism has done its worst with her. If she sinned in the past she lias been grievously puuishcd.— Those who goaded her to strike for iter rights and who have tortured her by all the means that cowardice or cruelty could invent, have yet to feel the scourge of the Nemesis of Naiions: One realizes, on a field like this, what a terrible war it was, and yet we have men among U3 who assert that these thousands on thousands suddenly sprung up in a blind fury, and fought to the bitter end of death and desolation on an abstract political question. There was a little difference, an issue made up by lawyers and politicians about State rights. Few understood, and no one believed in them, and yet the bloodiest war ever known was fought out over them. What insanity. The cause of that war lay deeper than auy political abstraction. It was the wiath of nations clutching at each other’s throats. The fathers attempted to bind two nationalities in one, and they rose up and fought each other as the English fight the French, the Portuguese the Spaniards, the Irish the English and the Italian the Austrian. That ft the story in brief, and we will have peace when the conquered nationality ceases j to exist and not before. I thought, as I gazed through the hazy atmosphere over the Potomac, at the beloved Capitol of my country that, af ter all, the victory we had gained was not such a comfortable victory. In them, I am not so certain we have the better. Such little minds as Seward I and Sumner find that of a conquered i people a civilization based on slavery. : I What shallow stuff. It was a civiliza tion based on home. The love of fam , ily, the affection for the household, the pride of State, which meant the locality, j ; when these attributes were found, are J j the characteristics of Southern civiliza | tion and existed independent of slavery. | Our civilization is the reverse of this, j It is the civilization of New England j that has no true sense of home, no love j of the household, no affection fora 10l l cality. We have the barbaric pride of display. We emigrate and build up, jto emigrate again. Our idea of govern | ment means empire, and force. There is no repose, no quiet, uo heart felt af section for the peaceful home and the sacred household gods that create the heroic. We have wide fields, but they j are uot ours. We have palaces, but | they are not homes. We have telegraphs, railroads, huge factories, great cities, | and a world wide commerce, but we ' have no real happiness. We are Arabs | in boots, and our masters are theirs. The late lamented Lincoln, in his . quaint dedication address, of the Get tysburg Cemetery, said the soldiers had : died a heroic death, that we might have “a Government of the people, by the j people, and for the people.” As the j flag fluttered above me, and the winds j sang mournfully among the pines, and j the long shadows stole out over the j waters, I looked at the dome of our J Capitol, and thought how “the Govern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people,” was directing its vast ■ powers so as to crush the poor and ; strengthen the wealthy ; how harlots | intrigued, and thieves reigned; how under that dome there swarmed, as un der a hive, thousands on thousands of greedy, selfish and unprincipled men ; and I wended my way back, far from happy over the famous victory we boast of. _ The Avalanche has a letter from Maj. Gen. W. S. Harney, stating that Maj. St. George Harney who was recently j shot by the Arkansas militia, was an adopted son of his, and that his remains which were buried here are to be taken to Alexandria, Ya., his native place, for j interment. Lost His Boots at a Baptizing.— There was a big baptizing at Augusta, Ga., on Sunday last. The banks of the j river were slippery and many darkies j were baptized who were not candidates for the ceremony. The preacher who i performed pulled off his boots before wading in, and an enterprising colored brother stole the same. Report of the President of the Eagle nud Pbenlx manufacturing Compa ny to the Stockholders. A.t a meeting of the Stockholders of the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Company, held at the office of the Com pany, January 20th, 1869, the President offered the following lii-PORT : In presenting to the Stockholders my first Annual Report, since we eommene ed manufacturing, I deem it proper to state that we started the first Loom on Un; loth day of February last; conse quently, the period embraced from that , date to the first day of January is ten and a half months; but as it required until tbe first day of October, before we could get other machinery and the num ber of Looms (135) then on the floor, in operation, it embraces only three mouths of full operation for that num ber of looms. The period from starting the first loom until we brought the 135 into operation, was not one of much profit; as, with so little machinery at work, the expense nearly consumed the profits on the goods produced. The machinery for the manufacture of Blankets was only partially brought into operation at the date of this report, and up to that time was only a source of i xpense. The additional 20 Check Looms, now on the floor, are being prepared for operation, and no results were had from these. Under tbe cir cumstances, it is difficult to average the full time that we operated the 135 looms, but from as careful an estimate as I can make, I set it down, in all, at four months full time. By reference to the condition of the Company, as per report annexed, you will notice the profits from manufactur ing to January Ist, 1860, were $-10,999.- 23. As the period of full average of four months working time, in this first re port, may admit of doubt ; I have had the actual result of the 3 months’ opera lions, from Ist October to Ist January, with the 135 looms, carefully ascertain ed, separate from previous operations, the actual cost of cotton, wool, «fcc., de livered to the Mill, oils and other find ings U3ed, wages paid to operatives, &c., Ac., and the sales of the goods actually produced, and find the profits during that period to be $33,657.34, which result more than justifies the estimate of full work being placed at 4 mouths. By this calculation (if profits for a year may be fairly based upon what we have earned in 4 months of full work) it would be over $120,000, or over 35 per cent, on our capital stock. I may also say that results from tbe 20 other looms and tbe Blanket Machinery, {all paid for ) and now on the floor, would swell these profits to a point to meet our most ! sanguine expectations. I may also add, j that we start the present year under ! very favorable circumstances. We held ' on the Ist day of January, 176 bales of [ cotton, to which have been added 264 j bales at the average cost of 22 cents all : round, now worth in the market 26 j cents per pound. Our goods have always been much admired for their superior quality and j finish, and sold ahead of production, \ ! and at present are ordered ahead of sup j ply fully three weeks. They are all sold at home for cash, or cash in 30 days, I j payable at our office. We have no j agents, pay no commissions or trans- I portation charges. The continued or ! ders from old customers, and daily or- I ders from new ones, warrant us in the belie I that double our present produc- j tiou would fiud ready sale. The following report shows the con dition of the Company: assets : Real Estate, including Fac tory Buildings, Boarding Houses and Water Lot Cos. interests $307,026 28 Machinery account All machinery in Pi<■ ke r house, Factory Woik .•q> and Machine shop 257,010 37 Stock on hand as per Inven tory Book 73,77!) 18 Bills Receivable—Notes se cured by mortgage 6,368 90 Book accounts for goods sold cash—3o days 36,751 14 Cash account on hand 4,447 86 $685,383 73 liabilities.

The Factory building, the Picker house, Wood work shop, Machine shop, Dye house and Ware rooms built on three of the Water Lots in the present enclosure; also, the three blocks of brick buildings and one ol wooden buildings, for operatives, in the city, sundry town lots in Girard, and the village of Brownsville, on the Ala bama side of the river, consisting of 28 acres, on which are built 48 operatives houses, Parsonage, &c. The Machinery account embraces all machinery in and uot yet in operation iu the Factory, Picker house. Dye house, and Carpenter and Machine shops. The Stock on hand then consisted of 176 bales cotton, 35,675 lbs wool, all goods in the process of manufacture and on band, dye stuffs, oils, &c. The Bills Receivable account is for notes amply secured by mortgage on valuable city property. The Book Accounts are for goods sold for cash in 30 days. On the other side you will see The Capital Stock is 4,360 shares, SIOO each, $463,900. Bills Payable account embraces bonds due in April, $99,300, which can be converted into Stock, at maturity, at the option of the holder. The remainder of Bills Payable, $46,- 692 67, is for money loaned the Compa ny by different Stockholders. Book Accounts, due for borrowed money from Stockholders, for which no notes are given, (asshownin report), $34,491 83. Profit and Loss account shows profit to January 1, 1869, $40,999 23. At our last annual meeting your at tention was directed to the financial conditionofthe Company, showingthat the original Subscription Books were 1 closed too soon, thus shutting out a con siderable number of applications, and that the large amount invested iu the property, added to the outlay necessary to putting the same in good condition; and the extended building plans adopt ed, over those first contemplated; con sumed so much that it left us quite in sufficient means, to carry on the busi ness of the Mill at the high cost of cot ton, wool and other materials. At that meeting, you authorized the Directors to re open the books for an in crease of the Capital Stock, and to issue the Bonds of the Company to extent of $150,000, or to any amount they might deem best, on such terms as would com mand the money. At that time there was a great scarcity of money, and the stock was only increased from $450,000 to $463,900. We decided to issue bonds to the ex tent of SIOO,OOO, bearing 7 per cent, interesi, due twelve months after date, with the privilege to the holder of con verting the same into stock. These Bonds were offered to our Stockholders, and all readily taken by ib-in, and alii paid in except ■ \: t. :",■■■'> > avb.n j the amount ol Bond- i->m -i ai $99,300. It is expected that most or all of these Bonds will be converted into Stock. We found this amount was not sufii cienl to pay for Blanket Machinery and j for supplies of cotton, wool, Ac., (at their continued high prices), to pass us through the summer months, and we had to resort to further loans, (all from I Stockholders), whereby we now owe j in all, borrowed money, $150,414 50. | Much of thij could have been paid, j but we were compelled, in addition to j i the Blanket machinery, to purchase ' other machinery, to equalize the capac-i ity of that which we already had, say . English Carding Engines, additional Looms, besides Reels, Quillers, &c., &c. j By reference to the report, you will notice the cotton and wool, on hand j and on the machinery, goods, findings, accounts, (cash in 30 days) etc., con- j sume the sum of $116,899 32. This sum must be looked upon as necessary floating capital, always employed, and when cotton and wool supplies are laid in for the summer months until the new i crop comes in, the amount will be in creased ; though wo may expect that profits, such as we are making, will ultimately relieve us, yet I think it ad visable to have more floating capital. Having given much reflection to this matter, the Directors suggest for your consideration the following proposition, to-wit : Thai anew subscription list be pre pared and opened, to build another Factory on the cite formerly occupied by the Howard Factory, withiu our present enclosed walls; that the Books be opened for ($500,000) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, all to be paid up at the time of subscribing, and upon com pletion of the subscription, that the sub scribers thereto become Stockholders with the present Company, on equal terms, receiving Stock certificates for the amount subscribed, and the old Stockholders receiving certificates of Stock, in proportion to any excess of means they possess over the amount of the new subscription. The advantages to old and new Stockholders will be mutual. We are justified in believing that our present Factory, after 12 full months operations, will be able to pay a cash dividend oi 10 per cent, to the new and old Stock holders before a now Factory could be put in operation; and in the same ratio, in 12 months after the new Mill is in operation, (which can be accomplished within 12 months from the time this neiv subscription is made) we as confi dently believe that we shall be able to give at least 20 per cent, dividends an nually. New subscribers will thus have a rea sonable hope oft a fair dividend in 12 months from date of subscription. A portion of these subscriptions will goat once as floating capital, thereby reliev ing the present Company of debt and enable them to lay in supplies of cotton, wool, &c., for the summer, and leave ample means to at once erect the build ing, buy and pay for machinery, with a view to operating at the earliest possi hie day. Anew Factory can be erected in a short time and at a very moderate out lay. The present Company owns the site, has operative houses enough to accommodate the requisite number of hands. Our extensive Wood work shop, with its machinery, can do the wood work. Our well-appointed Machine shop is sufficiently ample for the demands of two Mills. More or less of the burnt shafting can be straightened and finished up. All the hangers can be cast in Columbus as low as at the North; the bearings bored aud fitted in our own shop, and much other work which will greatly cheapen the cost of anew mill. Our Dye house can do the work for both mills. Our extensive Ware rooms for cotton, wool and supplies, are ample for both. We will occupy but one office ; the same officers, with very little additional help, can do the work of both combined. Thus it will be seen that such a move ment will increase the rate of profits of the present Company, and afford a rare chance to new Stockholders. This new subscription to be open to old and new subscribers, and we believe the idle capital now in the country, will seek this opportunity for investment. The last 3 months’ results justifies us in all the foregoing, to say nothing of our experience with the old Eagle Fac tory. In getting up the present Mill, we have gained additional knowledge and experience, which will give us great ad vantages in selecting and buying ma chinery for anew onewind in planning the erection of anew building. Should these suggestions meet your views, the Directors ask your prompt decision. N. J. Bussey, President. The report being received, motion was made that so much of it as related to the building of anew Mill, be left to the Directors, whose action shall be made known to the Stockholders at a subsequent meeting. The election of Directors for the en suing year was then held, when N. J. Bussey, W. 11. Young, Charles Rogers, S. B. Warnock, W. E. Parramore, con stituting the old Board, were re-elected, after which the meeting adjourned to the 28th inst. At the adjourned meeting of the 28th, the following was offered and adopted: “It being shown that from the flatter ing results of the Company’s operations to this lime, and the great demand for its productions, which has existed from the beginning, and still exists, largely beyond the present capacity to supply ; and being satisfied that double the amount of goods would find the same ready and profitable home demand ; and as this Company owns the water power, and has already built, Dye- House, Machine Shop, Carpenter Shop, Warehouses, and Operatives houses sufficiently ample for use of an addition al Mill, and being in every way prepar ed to economically erect another Facto ry building and place machinery there in, therefore be it Resolved, That the Directors be au thorized and instructed to re-open the Subscription Books for additional capi tal to build on the Company’s property, within its present enclosure, another Mill, which shall be situated on the site formerly occupied by the Howard sac tory. Second—That upon a sufficient amount being subscribed, new Stockholders shall immediately receive Stock certifi cates, which shall participate in the profits from January Ist; that old Stock holders shall receive a stock divdend of 20 per cent, for all profits from begin ning of operations to the closing of subscription list, and for all other posi tive advantages earned ; and that the Directors proceed at once to have erect ed suitable buildings and procure the requisite machinery in order to bring the new Mill in operation at the earliest practicable day. Third—That in the event the neces sary amount is not subscribed in a reasonable time to build the new Mill, the Directors so reduce the subscrip tions as to cover an amount sufficient to fill to its fullest capacity the present Mill, with additional machinery, and to have a sufficient surplus of capital to work the same with advantage. Fourth—Tiiat we return thanks to the different officers for the earnest and faithful discharge of their various du ties.” A motion was carried that a copy of the above resolutions and proceedings ot the meeting, with the president’s report, be sent to each Stockholder. After which the meeting adjourned. At a subsequent meeting of the Direc tors, having elected N. J. Bussey Presi dent, and G. Gunby Jordan Secretary and Treasurer for 1869, in pursuance of instructions from the Stockholders, it was Resolved , That subscription books be now opened for additional capital stock, to erect a Mill equal in capacity to the present oue, and to procure machinery sufficient for the same; the additional stock not to exceed $450,000, in shares of SIOO each ; and that to accomplish the above object iu the shortest possible time, the Subscription List shall remain open 30 days trom this date. No sub scriptions will be received unless 50 per cent, of the amount subscribed is paid promptly, and remaining 50 per cent, in 90 days from this date. In pursuance of which resolution the j Subscription Books are now opened at the office of the Company. N. J. Bus- ) sey, Charles Rogers, W. H. Young, S. j B Warnock and W. E. Parramore are also authorized to receive subscriptions, j at their several offices. Al! communications by mail or ex press, should bo addressed to G. Gunby Jordan, Sec’y & Treasurer. - Files Wanted. Tfie Chronicle & Sentinel, Augusta, desires to be sup plied with the files of that journal for 18G2-’63-’G4, the predecessors of the present proprietors having for special reasons deprived them of those files. “Van” Bartlett says the forty or fifty Congressmen going out next March are only anxious to go_put with full pockets, and the lobby has a million dollars to fill them. Pretty bad for a Republican Congress. Death of a Prominent Citizen of Macon. —The Macon papers announce the death of Thurston R. Bloom, Esq., one of the most popular and public spirited citizens of that city. Mr. Bloom died of pneumonia in the city of New York. Decisions of lh© Supreme Court of Georgia, Delivered at Atlanta, Feb ruai y 2, 1569. Furnished by N. J. Hammond, Supreme Court Beporter, Expressly for the Con- ' stiiution. Margaret Johnson vs. Macon and West ern Railroad Company, and Macon and Western Railroad Company vs. Margaret Johnson —case from Bibb. McCAY, J.—lst. If a passenger on a r ilroad be injured, by a collision of the trains, and the evidence shows that, though the company or its agents was ! guilty of negligence, yet the party in jured could, by the exercise of ordinary diligence, have avoided the consequen ces to himself of that negligence, he is not entitled to recover any damages from the company. 2d. If, in such a case, it appears that both the defendant and the plaintiff were guilty of negligence, and it does not further appear, lrom the evidence, that the deceased could at the time of the injury, have avoided the consequen ces to himself of the negligence of the railroad company, or its agents, he is entitled to recover; but it is the duly of the jury to lessen the amount of their verdict in ruoporiion to the negligence aud want of ordinary care of the pas seager. 3fi. Where a suit is brought by a widow for the homicide of her husband, under the 2920 section of Irwin’s Code, and there is no fault proven on the part of the deceased, the rule to be adopted for estimating the damages, is: The pecuniary damages to the wife from the homicide, to be ascertained by inquiring what would be a reasonable support according to tbe circumstances in life of the husband, as they existed at his. death, and as they maybe rea sonably expected to exist in view of his character, habits, occupation and pros pects in life, and when the annual mo ney value of that support has been found to give as damages its present worth according to the expectation of the life of the deceased, as ascertained by the mortuary tables of well estab lished reputation. 4th. The opinion of one, who for many years has been a railroad Super intendent, in a matter within the scope of his employment, stands upon the footing of the opinion of tho object of a railroad compauy, with which he had no connection, in putting up a particu lar notice on the door of its cars. sth. Though opinions are not gener ally evidence, yet, when the truth sought to be ascertained is matter of opinion, a witness, not an expert, may give his opinion if he state the facts upon which it is based. 6i.h. A card published by the passen gers immediately after a railroad collis ion is not evidence as part of the res (jester. 7th. Railroad companies may make reasonable rules for the conduct of their passengers, and a rule that passengers must not stand upon the platform of the cars is such a reasonable regulation. Bth. If such a notice be proven to have been posted in large metal letters, upon the doors of the passenger cars of a railroad company, a passenger will be presumed to know the rules, and if that knowledge be denied, the burden of es tablishing such want of knowledge is upon the party denying it. 9th. Iu this case, t his Court feels i constrained to reverse the judgment of i the Court below, overruling the motion j for anew trial, made by the plaintiff in | error, on the ground that the Court err- I ed in its charge to tbe jury, as to the rule for estimating damages in such cases, and on the further ground that the verdict of the jury was deci dedly against the weight of evi dence if not as to the absence of ordina ry diligence on the part of the deceased to escape the consequence to himself from the plaintiff’s negligence, certainly as to the amount of the damages, in view of the rule that where both parties are at fault tho damages are to be dimin ished in proportion to the negligence and want of ordinary care of the party injured.

Tait, et. al., vs. Richard Roe, cas., John Pollard, tenant—Ejectment from Har ris. McCAY, J.—An adverse possession of real estate under written evidence of title from the sth of November, 1856, until the 24th of September, 1867, gives a good title against ail persons not un der disability to sue. 2. Since the Ist of January, 1863, the time when the Code went into opera tion, there has not been any statute of limitation in this State as to suits for real property. An actual adverse pos session under written evidence of title for seven years gives a good proscrip tive right, as against all persons not un der disability to sue. 3. The Ordinaries of the Convention of 1865, declaratory of the suspension of the statutes of limitation since the 19th of Jan., 1861, and enacting that they should continue suspended until civil Government should be fully restored, inasmuch as it creates no disability to sue, does not operate so as to prevent the ripening of a prescriptive title under the Code, so far as that title is depend ent on a possession since the Ist of Jan,, 1863. 4. A party setting up a prescriptive right under the Code, may tack to his possession since Ist Jan., 1863, a pos session good before that time, as part of a defense under the Statute of Limita tions, if his possession has been contin uous. 5. When anew lessor of the plaintiff is introduced, by way of amendment to an action of ejectment, the case, as to that demise, is to be tried as if the action had not been commenced until the date of the amendment.

SIOOO, I for which S. held L.’s note, and mort- I gage on a printing press, sold the press to C. for $5,000, and C. agreed to pay ; the SI,OOO to S., and satisfy the note and mortgages, but S. refused to release L. and take C. for the debt. There was evidence before the jury, however, that ; S. agreed to take C. as collateral, and i afterwards agreed to give C. time on the SI,OOO which he was to pay for L., I if he would pay him 2] per cent, per month for the indulgence, which he did for three or four months. 1. Held, that it was error in the Court iu his charge to the jury, to restrict them to the single inquiry whether C. was substituted as the debtor in place of L. 2. If C. agreed to pay the debt of L. to S. in a short time, and S. having ac cepted the liability of C. as collateral, afterwards for a valuable consideration extended the time ot payment for three or four months, as fie had the right to do at his own risk, L. could not sue C. during that time, and S. was liable to L. for any damage sustained by L. on account of such indulgence given by S. to C. Judgment reversed. McCay, J., concurred in the judg ment. Warner, J., dissenting.—ln my judg ment there was no error in the court below in overruling the motion for a i new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. The court was not requested in writing to charge the jury upon any part of tho evidence and there was no exception taken, that the charge of the Judge did not cover all the facts proved. The charge of the court excepted to was not error in view of the evidence contained in the record. The defendant was the principal debtor, and not a surety, and the loss of which he complains did not spring out of or result from any agree ment made between Crawford and Sol omon which would operate a3 a legal discharge of the debt, but from a cause entirely independent of that alleged agreement. From the facts disclosed by the record and my understanding of the law applicable thereto, I am of opinion the judgment of the court below should be affirmed. Cobb & Jackson, by Judges Clarke and Lyon, for plaintiff in error. W. Poe, for defendant in error. Samuel T. Baily, Plaintiff in error, vs. E. L. Stroecker, Defendant in error, mandamus from Bibb. Brown, C. J.—When an attachment was levied upon fifty shares of the capi tal stock of a corporate company, and sold at Sheriff’s sales, it was the duty of the Sheriff to give certificates of pur chase to the proper officer of the corpo ration, it was his duty to make the necessary transfer of the stock to the purchaser ou the books of the company. In such case the Sheriff does uot put the purchaser in possession, but the officer of the corporation is, pro liac vice, a public officer under the Code charged with that duty, and if he refuses to do it, mandamus is the proper proceeding to compel its performance.

Warner, J.—Where suit w'as institu ted on the 26th of February, 1866, to re cover the amount due on two promisso ry notes, against the maker and endor ser thereof, one of which was dated the 20th of October, 1857, due one day after date and endorsed on the 11th of July, 1860, the other note dated dated the 29th of July, 1858, due one day after date, endorsed the 25th of January, 1859, and the defendant plead the statute oflimi tions in bar of the plaintiffs right to re cover. Held : that in as much as the Statute of 1860 supended the running of the statute for one year and the Act of 1861 suspended the running of the statute during the war, and the ordinance of the convention of the Ist of November, 1865 have declared the statute of limita tions to be and to have been suspended from the 19th of January, 1861, and that inasmuch as the 3d paragraph of the 11th article of the Constitution of 1868, declares of force “all acts passed by any legislative body sitting in this State as such since the 19th day of January, 1861, (including Irwin’s Code) and that inas much as the sth paragraph of the 11th article ol the constitution of 1861 de clares that “all rights, privileges and immunities, which may have vested in, or accrued to, auy person, or persons, or corporation, in his, her, or their own right, or in any fiduciary capacity, un der any Act of any legislative body, sitting in this State, as such, since the 19th of January, 1861, shall be held in violate by all the Courts of this State, unless attacked for fraud, or unless otherwise declared invalid by, or ac cording to this constitution,” that the plaintiffs right to recover upon the notes sued on is not barred by the statu te of limitations, the Act of 1861, as well as the ordinance of 1865, suspending the running of the statute, are recognized and made valid by the express provi sions ofthe constitution of 1868. Held, also, that if a prescriptive right to either real or personal property, un der the provisions of the Code, had be come vested in the possessor by reason of the continuance of his possession, for a period of time, fixed by law, such vested right will be protected under the 10th paragraph ofthe 11th article of the constitution of 1868, recognizing a dis tinction between a right vested under the law of prescription as to real and and personal properly, and a right under the statute of limitations, which affects only the remedy. Judgment affirmed. McCay, J., concurred. Brown, C. J.—Dissenting.—1 An in dorsement of a promissory note past due for a valuable consideration is anew contract and the statute of limitations begins to run in favor of the indorser only from tfie date of the indorsement. 2. The Statute of limitations was le gally suspended for one year by the Act of December 1860. 3. The Ordinance of the Convention passed Ist November 1865, declaring the statute of limitations in all cases civil and criminal to be and to have been sus pended from 19th January 1801, and that it shall so continue until civil gov ernment is fully restored, or until the legislature shall otherwise direct, lias been legalized by the new Constitution and Ordinance of the Convention of 1868, so far as it does uot divest vested wrights. This made it valid so far as it was prospective, but whether it could restore to plaintiff a right of action lost by the running of the statute for the full period prescribed by law before its pas sage, query ? 4. In this case after deducting the year during which it was suspended, the statute had not fully run in favor of the indorser who is the party litigant, at the date of the Ordinance of 1865, by which it was suspended for the future as above specified. For these reasons I concur in the judgment pronounced bv a majority of the court while I do not assent to all the propositions an nounced by them in the decision. J. M. Dorsey & E. M.

The will, offered in evidence, showed upon its face that it was executed in 1863, by which the husband bequeathed to his wife certain property, thereby showing that the parties were married at that time, to wit, 31st July, 1862, whereon the witness, who was examin ed, stated that the parties were married in 1862 or 1863. The will was compe tent evidence for the purpose of show ing the parties were married prior to 1863, and the Court below errred iu re jecting it for that purpose. Judgment reversed. 8. D.

Aye, look upon this dreary, desert path. 1 lie thorns and thistles whereso’er we turn; What trials and what tears, what wrings and what wrath, What struggles and what strife the .journey They have escaped train those, and lo ! we mourn. Ask the poor sailor, w hen the wreck is done, Who, with his treasure, strove the shore to reach, While with the rag.ug waves ho battled on, Was it not joy. where every .joy seemed gone, To see his lovtd ones landed on the beach !

The Church of England Magazine. The Western: Pork Markrt. — From Phillips’ Provision Exchange Circular, issued at Cincinnati on the sth, we take the following: The market for provisions during the week past has maintained its buoyant feeling and prices of all articles are higher, and the tendency is still up ward. The consumptive demaud has been good, and the speculative large, all parties seeming to feel that there can be no great backset to prices in view of the light stocks; yet these stocks are being distributed over the whole country, and prices are high,and if there is not a liberal supply of spring and summer hogs, they will be main tained. The returns of the various packing points come in slow, so that the total short can only be guessed at, but it matters not whether it is 250,000 or 500,000 short, the results would not be changed. The Indian Bureau.— The Indian Bureau is the rotlenest institution about Washington. That is very severe de nunciation, but it is nevertheless true. Its capacity for fraud is only equaled by its incapacity of honest control. It is a singular fact that when we pass an im aginary line between the United States and the Canadas, wo pass from Indian troubles to Indian peace. The same is true of the Mexican border. It is true of every Government save that of the Indian Bureau. With it we have wars, extravagance, imbecility and fraud. I look into the Blue Book and find four hundred officials reported ; I find some thirty posts with officials not re ported. Over a hundred have been added since, and the legitimate cost runs up to one-half a million perannum. And for this heavy expenditure what have we iu turn Os all scoundrels known to suffering humanity, the scoundrel of the Indian Bureau is the meanest. His .stealings are stained with blood. National shame and terrible suffering ar.d horrible butcheries are the results of bis work. He defrauds the Government in bis con tract; he steals from the Indian in its execution—every pore sweats the felon, and every breath returns poisoned by an assassin. This language is none too strong for any one acquainted with the facts.— Wash. Corres. Cin. Com. Mark Twain on Orphans. —A few evenings since Mark Twain delivered a lecture at Cleaveland for the benefit of the orphan asylum of that city. At the close of his regular lecture Twain said : “Ladies and Gentlemen,—l am well aware of the fact that it would be a most gigantic fraud for you to pay a dollar each to hear my lecture. But you pay your dollar to the orphan asylum and have the lecture thrown in. So if it is not worth anything, it does not cost you anything. [Laughter.] There is no expense connected with this lecture.— Everything is done gratuitously, and you have the salislaction of knowing ! that all you have paid goes for the ben | efit of the orphans. I understand that j there are to be other entertainments ! given week after next for the same ob ject, the asylum being several thousand dollars in debt, and I earncstlv recom mend you all to atteud them,” and not let your benevolence stop with this lec ture. There will be eating to tie done. Go there and <•»', and en : . t.d keep on eating, aud p.y as you go. [Great laughter.] The . ruprieiors of the skat ing rink have generously offered to de vote into the|asylum the proceeds of one evening, to the amount of one thousand dollars, and when that evening comes, go and skate. Ido not know whether you can all skate or not, but go and try. If you break your neck it will be no matter; it will be to help the orphans. "Don’t be afraid of giving too much to the orphans; for however much you may give you have the easiest end of the bargain. Some persons have to take care of those sixty orphans, and have to wash them. [Prolonged laugh ter.] Orphans have to be washed ! Aud it’s no small job either, for they have only one wash-tub, and its slow business ! They can’t wash but one or phan at a time ! They have to be wash ed in the most elaborate detail; and by the time they get through with the six ty, the original orphan lias to be washed again. Orphans won’t stay washed! I’ve been an orphan myself for twenty five years, and I know this to be true.” [Great laughter.] GREAT Southern Preparations.

Flease express mo half a dozen botties, and obligo Cai-t. O. F. JOHNSON, St. Louis Mo. P. S.—Tho following was written April 30, 1865, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother ol Capt. Johnson. I)r. Bull—Dear Sir—My husband. Dr. U. S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsa parilla. It cured him. I have for ten years recommended It to many In New York, Ohio, and lowa, lor scrofula, fever sores, and general debility. Perfeot success has attended il. ’1 he cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fe ver sores were almost miraculous. I am very anx ious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. Ho is fearful of getting a spu rious article, hence his writing to you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he will recover. Respectfully, * JENNIE JOHNSON. UK.
