XUCBBDAT HORNING, MARCH 3.
’ |
The Cincinnati Chronicle (Radical)
declares that Whittemore’s resignation
was committing suicide to avoid being
hung. It was a success.
The Atlanta Era says the United
States Revenue officers, on Tuesday
last, found and destroyed a nest of six
illicit distilleries in Milton county, and
made several arrests of parties who
were running them.
In noticing the report that Gen. Grant
should have said that Presidential tim
ber is scarce in the Radical ranks, the
Cincinnati Commercial says this is a
mistake while Gen. George H. Thomas
lives. This remark, made by a leading
Western Radical press, may be taken
as an indication of Radical sentiment
on the Presidential question in that
quarter.
Office Belling.— lt is reported in
Washington that a resolution will short
ly be introduced in the House of Repre
sentatives instructing the Committeeon
Military Affairs to make investigations
as to what, if any, officers of the Gov
ernment have disposed of public offices
for pecuniary or equivalent compensa
tion, beginning with the President and
continuing through all the various de
partments of the Government. It is
said a prominent Radical member is to
introduce the resolution. We shall
believe the story when wo read the
resolution.
Alexander H. Stephens.— On yes
terday we had the pleasure of meeting
a gentleman who had just paid a visit
to Crawfordville, and the home of Alex
ander H. Stephens. While there he
saw and conversed with Mr. Stephens,
and conveyed gratifying intelligence
that this honored Georgian is in much
better health than he has been for some
time past. Besides being much improv
ed in health, he represents Mr. Stephens
to be in very good spirits. Mr. Stephens
states that the second volume of his
great work, “A Constitutional View of
the War Between the States,” is now
in press, and that in a lew weeks’ time
it will be-given to the public. —Augusta
Chronicle, 2014. ,
Col. W. 11. McCardle, who, it will be
recollected, was imprisoned by the mili
tary in Mississippi for language used in
an editorial, and whose case was taken
before the Supreme Court at Washing
ton, has announced in the Vicksburg
Herald his determination to start a daily
and weekly paper in that city in July
next. In his card to the nerald he
says :
Will you have the goodness to say
through your columns, that Mississippi
having been restored to civil law, in
stead of the law of the musket and bayo
net, I shall commence the publication
of the Daily Forum in this city in the
month of July. The Forum will be in
every respect a first class newspaper,
and its Weekly shall be the largest,
handsomest and cheapest weekly jour
nal in the State, or in the Southwest.
The Cincinnati Commercial (Radical)
is decidely hard on the Mis3issppi Sa
trap. That paper says: “The conduct
of General Reynolds of the Fifth Mili
tary District in declining to allow the use
of his name as a candidate for the United
States Senate from Texas, in honorable
contrast with that of General Ames,
who availed himself of his official posi
tion and influence to become a Repre
sentative in that boby in Mississippi.
In the esteem of the people, Gen. Rey
nolds stands immeasurably higher than
the military carpet-bagger, whose in
fluence in the Senate, wo venturo to
predict, will bo less than that of Senator
Revels, despite the prejudice against his
race and color.”
The Radical Legislature of North
Carolina has become so corrupt and odi
ous that Gov. Holden (Radical) de
nounces it in the Raleigh Standard as
“infamous for ever and ever.” The
people are suffering so greatly from the
taxes imposed under the new constitu
tion, that unless the Radical Legislature
pass a law to extend their terms, they
are sure to he thrown out in August
next. _
The Mississippi Railroads—lmmi
gration.—The Mobile & Ohio Railroad
transports emigrants free of cost. The
charge on tho New Orleans and Jack
son, and tho Vicksburg and Meridian
Roads is one cent per mile. On the
Mississippi Central two cents. Wo are
not advised of tho rate established by
the Mississippi and Tennessee. — Jack
son Clarion.
American Credit Abroad.— The
London Times, on the subject of the
recent decision by the Supreme Court
of the United States on the matter of
legal tenders, asserts that “the decision
has restored English confidence in
American justice.”
Death of Mrs. Barney Hawkins.
—But a few months sinco we announced
the marriage of Barney Ilawkins, one
of our most esteemed colored citizens.
A notice in another column shows that
Barney has been suddenly bereaved.
In behalf of the white people of this
city, who understand and appreciate
the honor and integrity of Barney, both
as a slave and freedman, we tender him
sincere condolence in his affliction.
. Mqup Remarkable Cores. —We
often have li&d occasion, during his stay
in our city, to call attention to the al
most miraculous cures effected by Dr.
Bernhardt, the scientific optician, by
means of the spectacles which he affixes
to the eyes. Miss Rogers, who has not
been able to read for twenty years, has
been enabled by these glasses to dis
tinguish with ease the finest print. She
has been using them fourteen days and
can now thread a “cambric needle.”
Mrs. Wright Cooke, a lady who has not
been able to read for nine years, applied
to the Doctor on Tuesday. After ex
amination, he furnished her with spec
tacles which afforded almost instantane
ous relief. She found, to her joy, that
she could Bee the minutest type, and
readily peruse them. These are some
of the remarkable cases. He has re
lieved hundreds of minor cases. Those
suffering from imperfect sight ought to
call on him at his rooms at the Perry
House. The Doctor is one who prom
ises little, hut performs much. He
will not remain much longer.
Public Hall Association.—There
will be a meeting of the Directors of
the above Association this morning, at
11 o’clock, at tho office of Capt. J. M.
Bivins. It is hoped all the Directors will
attend, as business of importance will
be before the Board.
The so-called Legislature of Missis
sippi has been ordered to assemble at
Jackson on the Bth inst.
Fan Paris, charged with the murder
of Maldarine Underwood, in Atlanta,
has been committed to jail. The girl
was found dead a short time ago with
marks of violence on her person, near
the abode of the accused, Last week
she and a negro named Jim Harper
were arrested on suspicion of being the
murderers. After an investigation,
which lasted three days, Fan Paris was
committed to answer the charge at the
Superior Court of Fulton county, and
Jim Harper discharged.
Assault upon tb« Central Railroad.
The Atlantata Era, Bullock’s organ,
introduces a recent decision of the Su
preme Court of the State, with the fol
lowing observations:
We publish this morning the decision
of the Supreme Court in the important
case of “Central Railroad ct al. vs. Ste
phen Collins et al." The decision in
this case will, we believe, have a salu
tary effect by restraining the grasping
disposition of the Central Railroad mo
nopoly ; a corporation which, not con
tent with liberal earnings and profits
from the legitimate enjoyment of its
chartered privileges, sought to crush
out or buy up every other struggling
company in the State.
The unwise and unjust policy of this
company in refusing to co operate with
the Macon and Augusta Railroad when
its track reached Milledgeville from
Augusta, on the one hand, and its cost
ly efforts to break down the Macon and
Brunswick Road, on the other, are strik
ing examples of the disposition of this
mammoth corporation.
Heretofore, the city of Savanna* and
the Central Railroad Company have
practically controlled the Legislature of
this State ; but fortunately we now have
an ex railroad President for Governor,
and one who is not contiolled by the
Central Railroad ring. Other enter
prises may now have hope to a fair
chance to work out success.
In the case to which we have referred,
the State was represented by direction
of the Governor through Judge Loch
rane for the purpose of inviting the
special attention of the Court below,
and of the Supreme Court, to the neces
sity for protecting young and struggling
railroad enterprises—enterprises too in
which the State was largely interested
as stockholder and endorser—from the
grasp of monopolies by restraining this
great and wealthy corporation within
the proper limits of its charter.
This decision will form a harrier to
all future attempts to control business
outside a legitimate channel, and will
give vigor to the means adopted for the
development of those sections now be
ing pierced by new Roads, by inspiring
confidence that the natural trade and
travel will not be directed from them by
the overshadowing influence of a great
monopoly.
This makes public a rumor that has
been circulated for sometime, to the
effect that Bullock had organized a com
bination to strike at the interests and
prosperity of the Central Railroad. Pub
lie policy demands that all corporations
should be kept under a wiso legislative
control, in order that the citizen may
be protected against the unjust demands
of monopolies. But it is no part of the
business of a Governor, a Legislature,
or a Supreme Court, to strike down a
great public enterprise.
Admitting that all the complaints
that can be urged against the Central
Railroad are true, yet the tact still
stands that it has been managed with
masterly energy and sagacity. And the
further foot io patent to all, that its suc
cess has added to the prosperity one
greatness of Georgia. Savannah is now
the great Atlantic port : she has been
made such by the Central Railroad. Her
business has been largely increased and
her capitalists and business men have
aided the people of the State when the
agricultural interests demanded aid.
All of the success of the Central Rail
road has enured to the benefit of every
interest of Georgia, and in place of cur
tailing its power and capacity it should
bo the duty of Georgians to foster and
encourage it to the utmost extent. The
Central Road was built long before
Georgia had the misfortune to know of
Bullock and the pliant tools who do his
bidding. It is owned and controlled by
Georgians and is in all respects a Geor
gia enterprise. As against all combiua
tions of Radicalism aided and sustained
by harpies from the North, who are
seeking to put their shoddy fortunes in
the safe security of Georgia bonds,
whatever influence this journal may
possess, shall be thrown on the side of
the Central Road. If the city of Savan
nah and the Central Railroad did con
trol the Georgia Legislature, Georgians
will not be unmindful of the fact that
the control was a wiso and judicious
one, and that in those days Georgia
took the great steps towards strength
and power which won for her the proud
title of the Empire Slate of the South.

Robbed of S SOO. —An elderly gentle
man Thos. Doggett, of Harris county,
sold his land in that county Monday for
SSOO, of which amount he received SSOO
cash. He came to the city, and Tues
day night, accompanied by friends
and negro drivers of wagon teams, slep
in Mrs. Clarke’s wagon yard, in the
upper part of the city. During the eve
ning a strange negro came to the yard
and asked to stay all night. He said he
worked for Mr. Bill Luttrel, in Harris
county, and couldn’t find his employer.
He is described as 21 years of age, of
light complexion and slender build.
His request was granted. Mr. Doggett
slept in a wagon, with his pants, in the
pocket of which was a money book
containing the SSOO, near his head
When he awoke,before day,he found the
strange negro and the money gone, and
nothing has been heard of them since.
The pantaloons were left behind. Po
licemen arrested several negroes yester
day, but none of them were identified !
as the thief and they were released.
A Review of tbe Muller Crew it At
lanta by a Radical.
We clip the following from a letter of
the Cincinnati Commercial's Atlanta
correspondent:
Atlanta, Feb. 19, 1870.
THE UNPLEASANTNESS
Caused by thrusting oui African breth
ren aside atui giving all the Seuatorshipa
to the superior ran , has partially sub
sided, but still there is a strong under I
current of suppressed wrath which oc- ,
casionaiiy bursts forth in earnest words
of indiguation trum the lips of those
who go around with colored blood in
their veins. The negroes do not accept
the situation with that hearty relish
which would become them under the
circumstances. They should learn that
their mission here on earth, so far as
politics is concerned, is to boast the su
perior white man into soft positions,
and they themselves to be content to
remain a the bottom round of the lad
der, of lame, with all prospects of as
censioa cut off.
Monday night al the caucus, called
for the purpose of nominating the three
Senators, afterward elected, and before
Tweedy’s order unseating all outside
barbarians had been promulgated, 1 saw
a white man industriously elbowing his
way among the colored men, giving to
each a small slip of w hite paper, upon
which was written but one word,
“VVtritely.” Then began the irresisti
ble conflict for Baird, colored, and Wal
lace, also colored, besides half a dozen
others, all colored, had set their faces
like flint in favor of giving'.their unexpir
ed term,for which Whiteiy was an aspi
rant, to a negro.
“What’s dis?” said an ancient Afri
can, to whom one of the “Whiteiy”
pieces of paper was handed.
“Oh, it’s the name of the man we
want put through for the unexpired term.
He’s a sound Radical and all right.”
“Yes ; but I think we’re entitled to
one man in this here business, bein’
there’s three to be ’lected. Whiteiy
may' have repented for having fit agin
the Gov’mcnt, and become a good Rad
ical; but we’re going to run through a
black man on that line, or try mighty
hard.”
And they did try mighty hard; but it
was a fight against fate and the white
man, both of which, taken together,
make a strong team, and Africa was
overthrown.
But while they are not in the best of
humor over the manner in which the
thing has been managed, yet they are
disposed to chew the cud of disappoint
ment in silence, and not disturb the
harmony of the party by anything like
open revolt. If they were disposed to
secede in a body from the party, as a
matter of revenge, they could slay the
white part of it, for without the negroes
the Republican organization in Georgia
would not amount to a respectable shad
ow. The whites know this very well;
but at the same lime they know that
the negroes will do nothing more seri
ous than to grumble a little, as the of
fices, one by one, fall into the hands ol
the superior race ; and so they continue
in the good work of reaping the harvest
the negroes have sown, and allowing
that class to enjoy the inestimable priv
ilege of doing the voting.
-vTxxA.ro ?
Reports from Washington indicate
that the Judiciary Committee, who have
the Georgia mutter in charge, are sore
ly perplexed to know what to do with
the muddle. They don’t like to indorse
Bullock’s Military Board, as it would
establish a dangerous precedent, and
not to indorse it would be to throw
everything into confusion again, or
more properly, cause a shade more of
confusion to overspread the face of the
already confused mess.
But the Military Board question is of
but small moment, compared to a dozen
other questions that loom up before the
bewildered committee. Governor Bul
lock, and several other State officers,
set up a claim that they are entitled to
hold their positions for the full term to
which they were elected, beginning at
the present time. That is to say, they
propose to count the time they have
already served, up to the present, as
nothing,and take a fresh start. The com
mittee don’t know what to do with this
question. If Bullock is Provisional
now, he has been Provisional all the
time; and if he has been Provisional
from the first, he has not yet been Gov
ernor stricti juris; and if he has not been
Governor stricti juris, he cant be until
the State is readmitted into the Union,
for a State that is out of the Union can
not have a civil Governor; and if he is
not a civil Governor, he is not what he
was elected to be, and consequently his
term of service will begin from the date
of the readmission of the State to the
Union. This is three columns of the
argument of the Bullockers boiled down
to a few lines. The other side meet it
by saying that things are in a devil of
a fix, any way.
The Senatorial question or that which
used to be a question before it got into
such a tangle that the term question
does not do justice to the subject, is not
the least interesting point of this singu
lar business. While the Committee at
Washington were discussing the sub
ject as to tho ftSmiaDion o£ Hill ou'l Mil
ler, here comes three more Senators
with their carpet-bags full of credentials,
makiug five in all. All these patriots
are clamorous for their seats, and each
one has an argument a mile long in sup
port of his right to be admitted in pre
ference to anybody else. It is said that
the committee, who have got certain
sections of the muddle under investiga
tion, are very much divided as to what
two out of the five ought to be admitted.
It is known that the President favors
Hill and Miller, because they have not
got any policy in particular, and of
course, under such circumstances, they
would support his measures. As for
Farrow and Whitely, it is uncertain
where they stand, or what policy they
will champion, other than an extreme
Radical policy. They are both Radi
cals, and, of course, ultra ones, for they
were actively engaged during the war
in the defense of the Lost Cause. Down
here when a man deserts his former
companions and goes over to the enemy,
he goes the whole animal, as a halt way
policy would kill him with both sides.
Take the case of Farrow, for instance.
Those who remember him as he was
during the war, running around over
the State with a pick-ax and pine knot
torch, hunting saltpetre dirt in all the
caverns of the earth, and swearing that
he would keep the Yankees away from
the sacred soil if it took the last drop of
potash in all his caves—l say those who
remember him as he was then would of
course have to witness fruits meet for
repentance to convince them that he
had buried his pick-ax and thrown away
his torch-light pole in earnest, and with
a firm resolve to become a good Radical.
To convince the skeptical that he is
| all right on the goose, or more appro
priately, all right on the negro, Farrow
follows close in the footsteps of the il
lustrious Sumner, and astonishes the
natives by the boldness of his war
against the rebels. Even his compan
ions in the saltpetre dirt business find
no mercy at his hands, as was demon
strated at the recent trial of the Demo
crats before the military commission,
where it was hinted in evidence that
one of the defendants dabbled in salt
petre and potash.
As for Whitely, he was an officer in
the Confederate service, and fought the
war through to an unsuccessful termina
tion, and then became a Radical. He
is now in Washington with Farrow,and
these two gentlemen are engaged at
present in butting their heads against
Miller and Hill in a lively manner. It
is impossible even to guess with any de
gree of certainty as to whieh side will
win in this novel contest.
Specific Pkrfornance of a Con
tract.—The United States Supreme
Court has recently decided that a fath
er, who had verbally agreed to give a
lot of ground to a lady about to be mar
ried to his son, provided that her mon
ey should be used to build a house for
the home of the young people, could be
| compelled to execute a deed for the
premises after the marriage had taken
1 place and the house had beed built with
the lady’s money. The son and his
wife, after having lived several years in
the house, removed and left the premi
ses unoccupied. The father then took
possession, and declared that he had
changed his mind, and had determined
not to make a g ift of the property. The
United States Supreme Court, however,
decided that the building of the house,
with the knowledge and consent of the
donor, was sufficient evidence of part
performance to take the case out of the
statute of fraud, and that this was not a
case for damages to the aggrieved par
ties, but for specific performance.
Superior Court.— After a contin
uous session of seven weeks, Judge
James Johnson, about noon yesterday,
adjourned the court until the next term
in course, the 4th Monday in May. A
great deal of business has been irans- i
acted,and the docket pretty well cleared.
All but six of the old desks in the
court room have been removed, and
their places supplied with tables, con
taining large drawers with lock and
key. New matting is to be put down
and the court room generally renovated.
There was Borne opposition upon the j
part of the Bar to the removal of their
old desks, with which they are familiar,
and the tax payers grumble at the bill
of charges, but it really improves the
appearance and convenience of our
court room, which is said to be a3 fine
a one, as there is in the State. Great
satisfaction was felt and manifested by
the Lawyers, at their being finally re
leased from a long and tedious session.
On Monday commences Marion Su
perior Court, and the Lawyers who j
practice outside of Muscogee will j
be in harness for some weeks yet.

Outrages Still Committed—Novel way of
Extorting Money from an Oppressed
People — Wooden Nutmegs Laid in the
Shade—The Consummation of Yan
kee Shrewdness — Unparalleled Rascal
ity Practiced in Open Day.
We have heretofore noticed the out
rageous calumnies circulated about the
citizens of Sunflower, upon the state
ments of a lying carpet-bag deputy
sheriff, selected by Ames from among
the gutter snipes of St. Louis. But we
how understand why these infamous
falsehoods have been published and
persistently adhered to. We have just
seen a gentleman who lately visited
McNutt and learn from him that a Col.
Rice, with about thirty Federal soldiers,
have been sent to that county with gen
eral orders, as llie Oolonol soya, to eon
suit Martin, the Clerk, and Quinn, the
Probate Judge—the former a carpet
bagger from Michigan, and the latter a
scalawag—as to all of his movements.
And the result is that Col. Rice sends
out his troops and arrests every citizen
either one of said vultures designate,
and brings him up for examination.
After consultation with Quinn and Mar
tin, the Colonel invariably requires
bond of the citizens, conditioned to ap
pear at any time in future to answer
any charges that may be preferred
against him, either before a military
commission of a civil court, and will
not in the meantime use any disloyal
language or “cuss-words,” and then
turns the arrested party over to Martin,
to give the bond; which Martin of
course writes, and charges the party
from $2 50 to $lO for writing. The
revenue thus derived is divided of
course. And these two—Martin and
Quinn—are expecting to get very rich.
It is a money-making business, but
only one of the numerous ways of crea
ting “perquisites” which carpet-baggers
in office have devised in our unfortunate
State.
The Bing: of True Hetal,
The State Convention of the Democ
racy of Connecticut, which assembled
on the 22d of February and nominated
candidates for State officers, adopted as
their platform of principles, the follow
ing resolutions, which have the ring ot
the;true and good old Democratic metal:
Resolved, That the Democrats of Con
necticut, now as in the past, occupy the
proud position of the defenders of the
true principles of constitutional freedom,
based upon the equality of the States,
and for the success of their cause rely
upon the intelligence ot the people and
their devotion to the same ideas illus
trated by the example of the fathers in
the purer days of the republic.
Kesoiveu, .Ko state of Connecti
cut is to-day the same free and
dent State that it has been for more than
two hundred years, with the full power
to declare who shall and who shall not
be clothed with the elective franchise
within its borders, and when the power
is forcibly taken away, and its ballot
boxes subject to hireling soldiers of the
general Government, the State will have
lost its boasted sovereignty and become
degraded to the position ot a conquered
province.
Resolved, That the Fifteenth amend
ment, so called, to the Constitution of
the United States, is in no sense an
amendment to said instrument, but is a
radical change thereof, striking at the
principle of State rights, which lies at
the base of the compact formed by the
various States in the Convention of
1788, and its forced and fraudulent adop
tion at the point of the bayonet, will be
the deadliest blow ever struck at the
sovereignty of tho States, and the liber
ty of the people.
Resolved, That tne Democracy of the
State now as heretofore, are the strenu
ous advocates of a tariff for the purpose
of revenue only, that the principle of
protection for the sake of protection, is
at war with the diversified interests of
the people of the States, and experience
has shown its tendency to agrandize a
class in the community at the expense
and to the injury of the producing and
laboring millions, taxing their industry
equally in violation of the authority of
the Constitution and of the great princi
ple that should govern this people in
their intercourse with the family of the
nation.
Resolved, That the language of Mr.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, in which he
asserts that in the work of Government
economy in the House could expect “no
aid from the other end of this Capital,”
meaning the Senate, “or from the other
end of the avenue,” meaning the Presi
dent, should startle the country and
arouse all good men to unite in over
throwing a profligate Administration
which iB confessedly extravagant and
reckless at a time when all business in
terests are pressing their heavy bur
dens, and labor is being pauperized
with interminable taxation.
Resolved, That the bill now before
Congress for the purpose of changing
the laws regarding naturalization is a
direct attack upon all foreigners seek
ing the United States as a home for
themselves or families; and that the
present corrupt and unprincipled lead
ers of the Republican party, having de
stroyed the constitutional rights of the
people of all the States, robbing them of
the power to determine the status of the
citizens, now seek to degrade the white
immigrant below the level of the native
negroes.
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Connecticut sympathize with the people

Awful Tragedy—A Family Burnt
to Death. —The following is from the
Meschescebe, of St. Juan Babtiste :
Bear Island, situated in Lake Maure
pas, was, on the 9th inst., the theatre
of the most horrible accident ever re
corded in this parish. The particulars
which reach us are as follows : Mr.
Robert Reine was pouring coal oil in a
lighted lamp which his son held in his
hand. Fire caught in the oil can which
exploded, scattering flames on father
and son. Mrs. Reine and four other
children crowded around them and
tried to extinguish the burning lava.—
These unfortunately caught fire also,
and father, mother and four children
were burnt to death. One little boy
saved himself by tearing off his clothes.
Mr. Robert Reine was the son of the
late Antoine Reine, of St. James parish,
and was about thirty five years of age.
The Question About Indian Lands

to pay four per cent bonds, and guaran
tee the interest for the support of the
tribe. The Committee expect to pur
sue the same course with the other large
Indian tracts. This is a tract covered
by one of the railroad treaties lately
withdrawn.

THE PAST AND PRESENT.

I’m growing old, I’m growing old,
Youth with friends are passing away;
This bended form once straight and bold,
Is drooping from age and decay.
In tot’ring down life’s shady vale,
Visions of love and beauty rise.
As mem’ry whispers through the gale,
Stories of many broken ties.
Far back through the vista of years,
Is the home of my childhood dear ;
Where a father’s noble form appears,
With a sweet gentle mother near.
View’d by affeotions youthful eyes,
They seem’d a royal godlike pair;
Whom painter’s should immortalize,
While poet’s sung their virtues rare.
Within the hallow’d walls of homo
They reign’d a monarch and his queen ;
Oe’r hearts than whom ’neath heaven’s dome t
No others were so true I ween.
A merry band of happy boys,
With honest, free, and loyal hearts,
Like wlld-blrds carol’d forth their joys,
Trammel’d by no courtier’s arts.
The maids of honor to our queen,
Were two fair blithesome bright-eyed girls,
Who sported o’er the turfed green,
With wreaths upon their flowing curls.
Long years have passed, dim grows my sight,
The vision has faded and gone :
No heart has day without its night,
In mine alas! there’s no more dawn.
I’ve climbed ambition’s giddy height,
Drank Irom each bubbling fountain there,
Revel’d in wealth, and splendor bright,
Yet found nought but sorrow and care.
Give back the home of joyous youth,
With father and mother so dear :
With brothers and sisters on whose truth,
My heart could repose without fear.
All others are seiiish and cold,
Unkind, and unfaithful, but you,
O Time. Take honors, silver, gold,
And give back the honest and true.
For a day of sweet hallow’d joy,
When I rov’d o’er meadow and down,
A careless, light-haired, happy boy,
I’d refuse a kingdom and crown.

THE OWEN THOMAS WILL EASE. |
The Supreme Court decides the Will
valid , and reverses the judgment of the
Court below.
James K. Redd, propounder, vs. Sophia
Hargroves, el a!. Probate of will
from Muscogee.
WARNER J.
On the 25th day of February, 1852,
Owen Tbomas made and executed his
will, by one clause of which he desired
that certain negro slaves,therein named, j
should be conveyed to Liberia, or any
other free Stale, loreign to Georgia, un
to which they may elect to go, and in
which they may lawlully reside, and
there to be forever manumitted and
freed, they, and their posterity. Tbe
testator also desired that his other prop
erty should be sold, and out of the pro
cteds thereof, after the payment of his
debts and certain specific legacies there
in named, and atter the defrayal of the
expeDse9 incident the caecuiion of
me will, the subsistence and removal to
their new and contemplated homes of
the negroes intended to be manumitted,
that the residue should be divided
among his negroes who shall thus be
come free, to be paid to each person
eighteen years of age, on his or her ar
rival in his or her new home. In 1859
the Legislature passed an act which de
clared “that from and after the passage
of this act, any and every clause in a
deed, will, or other instrument, made
for the purpose of conferring freedom
on slaves directly or indirectly, within
or without the State, to take effect after
the death of the owner shall be abso
lutely void.” The testator died in the
mouth of September, 1868, never was
married, and left no children at his
death.
Held: That inasmuch as the testator
violated no law of the State at the time
of the execution of his will in 1852, that
the same remained ambulatory until the
time of his death in 1868, at which time
the act of 1859 had become obsolete; and
that the act of 1859 did not. in law. ope
rate upon and revoke the testator’s will
made in 1852, there being no act of the
testator showing that it was his inten
tion to revoke.
Held further: That it is a cardinal
rule in the construction oi wills to car
ry into effect the intention of the testa
tor, when such intention violates no
law of the State; and as the testator
violated no law of the State in the ex
pression of his intention in regard to his
slaves at the time of making his will,
and as there was no law at the time of
his death which forbid the execution of
that intention , the same should be car
ried into effect by the courts. The will
of the testator was valid in its inception
(to wit,) at the time it was made, and
was a valid will at the time of its con
summation (to-wit,) at the time cf the
testator’s death.
Judgment reversed.

On Divorces.— A Cincinnati Judge
decided the other day, that the risk to
the wife of renewed violence and per
sonal injury, renders a blow inflicted
by the husband, good ground for grant
ing a divorce. “ When a husband has
once found it possible to strike his wife,
what guaranty,” asks the judge “is
there that he will never do it again?”
Judge Swayne, on the 21st inst, deliv
ered a decssion in the United States
Supreme Court, sustaining the validity
of Indiana divorces, in every part of
the United States. In the course of
this decision, tbe court also asserts that,
so far from being bound by the domicile
of her husband, a married woman may
acquire a residence independent of her
husband, whenever such a residence is
necessary to the protection of her rights
by litigation.
Brains vs. Shoulder Straps.— Gen.
Sherman, the commander in chief of

Sheridan, who during the war, in the
Valley of Virginia, exhibited so much
skill in burning houses and barns, and
in turning women and children whose
husbands and fathers were with Lee’s
army in front of Richmond, upon the
commons to starve, and who is now
head butcher of Indians in the United
States, gets over $12,000. The Presi
dent’s Brevet Brigadier Generals and
Lackeys (two in number) get about
$7,000 each, while the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court has a salary of only
$6,500, and the associate Justices receive
less than 6 000.
The microscope shows the color of
the hair due to a deposition of pigment
in its substance. When the hair glands
become enfeebled, this pigment fails.—
One after another the hairs become
white, or fall out, producing baldness.
Baldness is easy to prevent but hard to
cure. Ayer’s Hair Vigor stops it:
even restores the hair sometimes; always
restores its color. Immediate renova
tion is at once visible: softness, fresh
ness and the gloss of youth. This great
ornament should be preserved since it

make it a rule to use all anil any means to all
leviate suffering humanity which 1 may be
able to command not hesitating becuuse
someone more ingenious than myself may
have learned Its effects first, and secured the
