The proceedings instituted was a bill ior injunction asking the Superior Court to resire.in and enjoin the Tax Collector from col lecting certain taxes, claimed by the petitioneis to be illegal. We give the decision ot Judge llall iu full, which was made on the 7;h day ot M irch : “Alter hearing argument in tbe above stated application tor injunction, and carefully consider ing the Bill, Answer arm accompanying affidavits : It is ordered that Smith Waller, Tax Collector, be enjoined and restrained from collecting the county tax assessed ou the State tax ot 1572, except tbe following ittms of the assessment: Building and repairing bridges, ten per cent.; extra pay for County officers, fifteen per cent.; to pay jurors, twenty per cent.; other Court expenses such as Baiiifls, stationery and servant hire, three per cent.; County indebtedness for 1872, twenty-two per cent., making a total of seventy per cent, which the collector is allowed to collect. It is further ordered that this order bespiread upon the minutes ol Monroe Superior Court, and that Smith Waller, Tex Collector, be furnished by the clerk of said Court with a copy or toe same.” John I. Hall, Judge Superior Court Flint Circuit. The Sabbath. —Last Sunday was such a beauti ful and pleasant day as to secure to the different churches large and interesting congregations. Rev. 1). J. Myrick filled the pulpit at the Method ist church His discourse was founded on the text, “ The love o! Christ constraiuetb us ; because we judge that if one died for ail, then were all dead"—2 Cor. v. 14. The speaker stated that tbe Apostles und eariv Christians were branded with fauatkLm, if not with downright craziness. Against this unbounded imputation the Apcstie de ends himself aud his brethren, by telling that he and Ins bic-thrm were actuated by the love o! Clniot, which const,ained them to live as tm-y did TlieluVc oi Christ burnt din their heart: , “ bore them aio- g w iih itself,” and begat the most inp.psc love in then sou’s tor Him, and the souls of thelr teiiow Rjen ,for whom Christ died. This explained their apparent tapaticism. First, because, wi. thus judge, that if one died for all, then were aU dead. The first position—that one died for all—tha Apostle assumes. The second position —“ then were ail dead”—dead in tres pa-ses and iu sis—uul coiisecquentiy exposed to eternal death. His logic is : Christ died for ail therefore all were dead. Secoudly the or jeet of His death is staled : that the dead might live — live spiritually ia Union witH God here, and eter nally with Him iu h aven. The speaker pursued this traip ol 1 bought for some time, with elo quence und ability. His discourse was "ended with this pertinent qusstiou; Are we living to Him or to ourselves ? The services were conducted at the Baptist church by Rev. Dr. Hiilyer. His (Recourse, elo quent and instructive, was founded upon the text, “As many ns are led by the Spirit of God, they are tHe- sons ol God.” The speaker said, What is it to Le led by the Spirit of God? JJptl itre often led by others; for instance a political parly is u j by }ts leader. They imbibe his scritiaicuts. i’hc.y approve n.s mu'cs. Tiny co-operate iu his purposes, Iu like rnunuer ihose who a-e led by tlie Spirit ot God accept His i-.vcaled truth, approve and acc pt His meas ures o! mercy towaids cur race. They embrace the object which is His ultimate aim, naiueiy the the gloty of God. The soul thus Jed to accept the teachings of the Spirit, comes to the knowledge of eiu, This knowledge is not limited to acts of transgression. It exteuds to the siuful nature which made those acts agreeable. Thus the Spirit leads the soul to law. It discovers the divine authority of that law. If. tjisgovers the moral obligation which binds that iaw open tjie conscience. It discovers that ill violating it there is Utifiv a'-iecation from God. Paul’s experience illustrates this knowl edge. Iu giving this knowledge of sin, the Spirit leads tli<s soul to repentance; then to Christ; then to God *• reconciled in Christ, not imputing our trespasses unto us;” but tinparting unto U3 the Spiiit of adoption, whereby we cry, Anba, Father. A soul thus led by the Spirit will be found watchful against sin—anxious for the 6alvatiou of rjp'i—jn fellowship with the 6aints—diligent i-i using Ue means of graea Such a soul is a child of God—an heir or God . joint heir with Christ, and a sharer of His ulti mate glory. Men wi.l be led by some spirit. They are subject to the t’R’grsiljed influences ol the flesh and of the world. These influence* sye apolied by that fonl spirit, who is the adversary ol God and mau. Hence whoever is not led by the spiiit of God is in bondage of tbe Devii. Tub Rapopi-ic Lifklmsdrascs Company.—We are piea-cd to learn tmt ti,earticle Jn reference to this comp-any, and explanatory of its plans cf work ing, published in our last, h is attracted tiie atten tion ol a number ot gentlemen in Monroe, and that vigorous steps are bei :g taken to organ.zo tbs Monroe County Branch without delay—nearly the en ire stock Living beep taken already.

Editor Adr*rti*rr: In the last isaue of juur ex - Cfclltnt paper, I find an article np n tue Good Templars, which contains mach mciit. The Goad Templars did come in pomp and glory to drive the demon from tbe Und —they did promise much, be) did claim infal'Mlity. And, too, they are no mere; tin j have passed away 1 Their pomp aad glory was a vain shallow—their promises were broken in <fie hour of victory, and their inlalibili ty w i$ tut <be child ot the imagination. M> n cioi g to the cl-i Wasningtonians until y<*ar ct care and toil had r* r ted away its tender memories. They vainly la .1 hold upon the Ce parting glory of the Sat. 6<l Temperance, as long as the least spark of fraternity was sent through its shattered ranks. But not so with the Good T-mpiar?. The co'.iap>e was a? great and final as it was sudden, ido not suppose there is a sin g.e member oi old Forsyth Lodge, that would, for any consideration, return lo its fold. No they ■; ike u!t;r impossibility of achieving or.e iota of good L v an order so nnfilt-.d for our Soutnern people. Your correspondent hinted at some of these errors in its construction. I wiil briefly present lb* m again, and add \et more. 1. Unless a person (fret-ly or hesitatingly, it matters not) will take a life-long pledge, he can not be permitted to work with his friends for the cause of Temperance. Thousands have been turned away on th's aesouut, and thousands more have been forced to as.-uui- a vow they feared they could not keep. 2. The order went into extremes, and among other things, made war upon sweet cider, which is harmless, and nothing but the juice of a favor ite fruit given to us by the G >d of Nature. 3. The order was nothing bat a tytanical yankee machine, so constructed as to vest all the power at the North, where a va-.t amount of money found i:s way anuual y. The States had no rights. Even the Lodge in Forsyth was legislated for by this foreign body. 4. Tbe order admitted negroes to membership in the secret bocial circle. A negro helped to ! form it, at its origin, and to-day it contains many of our dark skin brethren i: its ranks. These four objections are of so serious a char acter as to have warranted tbe immediate disband meat ot the Lodge. With these remarks, we leave the Good Temp lars to be forgotten, end will britfly notice the uew order, founded upon its ruins—The United Friends o! Temperance. “ Experience is a good teacher,” so we may expect the new Order to be better than the old one, aud will therefore tied that tbe noted evils above are ail rtmoved. 1. No person is forced to take a life vow, and no inducements held out to take it. They have such a vow only for those who feel it their duty to assume it. There is no coercion. Ail mem bers are equal, and all can work together who love the Temperance cuuse. 2. The order does net go into extremes. It confines itself to that which produces intemper ance. 3. Each State is supreme, except iu regard to the secret work, which, of course, has to be tbe same throughout the country. Georgia legislates for Georgia, and Forsyth council is allowed a con siderable latitude in forming its own laws. This is good old Democratic State rights doctrine—the other radical. 4. Only white persons can join the order. Au order thus foirned, will sweep the entire South. It has the essentials of permanency, and is led by men of experience. Forsyth council is now taking anew start, and ere long will surpass the old lodge. Will not all the Christians ct the community unite in one more attack upon intemperance? Will not the ministry take hold of the matter and wain the community in the name of their heav enly Mastir? Will not the good citizens come aeaiu to the rescue? Think of a community drin k* inept! e bitter drugs of iniquity, and then, of what it Lnmbt be, tieed fit in the curse. Let Ihere be a grand rally la fiehsii ot Tcinpeiance. Forvrsid the Column ! Respectfully, W. Repairs Promised —ln an interview withCupt. Kendrick, the Supervisor of fhe Macon and West ern Railroad, the News learned that the authorities now have a lf.rge force at woil; on the road. They are divided into ‘‘squads,” some of which are re>- pairing and the remainder laying new track. A portion of them are working on the Macon end, and the remainder near Atlanta. Within the past few weeks three miles have been laid with the Fish-bar iron, which is to be used along the whole line. The road bed has not beeu in better condition for years, and new crossties and iron only are needed to make it better than ever be fore. President Wudley is determined to main tain forint r riphly dcgeryetl repjitatiQn of the road, and to put it iu first class order. The win ter has lieeu so wet and cold that it has been im possible lo work on it, which accounts for Its unusual condition, end the frequency of accidents on it. With no unfoitseen draw-backs, in the couise oj a pipuths the road will be in better condition than ever before, and such a thing as an accident will become more rare than at any time heretofore. Tun editor of the Giitfln Star, who mis lately visited Milner, says its wonderful growth fur nishes a striking example of what one mau of eueigy, deteimibatiou end capital can do for a place. Capt. Jack White has made Milner what it Is and is fo be. He gives away town lots, sella lots on iong tjpie, loans money and credit to deserving men at iow rates of Interest to improve toe town, builds extensively himself and by such means manifests his own confidence in the growth of the place. He is now erecting a large double bouse two stories high, with stores cu first floor and a spacious Hall and offices. He is determined Miluer shall be a town and it will be. TVe venture a guess that very eoon he will have a big cotton factory there, apfi then when he gets his triggers ail properly set, he Will switch tbe capital of Pike from Zebnlon over to his new city without an effort. Vive Miiner and its worthy founder Jack White. Tag news from Central America shows that the preliminary surveys for the Darien canal, wuich have been proceeding at a very leisurely pace for tvrunty years and more, are proceeding at a veiy jeisurly pace still. The interest of the American peopia ajsq nos 7, as it did not lag when the scheme of a canal serosa the neutral isthmus of this continent was first projected. Public under takings such as this survey are always carried on ic a slow and perfunctory way wheD the stimulus of private enterprise and private capital, seeking a q’utcg return fer it? is not gt tgnd tq stimulate it. The Western Indians continue untamed. A dispatch from the “Peace Commission,” to tbe Interior Department, dated the 7th, says: The M0j0,.), erupSssUegll|- reject alj ofpns #nj! proposals. They propose to meet in full force Meacham and Applegate with six unarmed men in the lava bed. This undoubtedly means treach- ! try.

Since the commencement of reconstruction a large portion of the people of Arkansas have been disfranchised by the operation of acts passed by a carpet-bag and negro Legislature, On Monday last an election was held in that State, the issue being upon the adoption of a constitutional amendment, which, if adopted, will restore to the disfranchised the right of suffrage. If the pgapif of that unhappy State have done their full duty they may by this time have in their hands the power to put down their oppressors. - >•- The Texas letter writers state that Dennison, Texas, was a wilderness five months ago.

Corn, Cox tow and Cpkrexcy.—Lippiacott’s Magazine, lor Novimber, 1871, ha? s toicible ar ticle from li e pen of Atuasa Walker on the sub ject of “ Corn, Cotton Ld Currency.” The p-iice of corn and cotton, inelcding wheat, is fixed By their value iu gold in Liverpool and London. Whatever that may be, it regulate* values ip. New York, Bostou, Baltimore it) St. Loui-. The saiue rules applies to the sale ot meat, cheese, butttr and i ttier provision# of which we export large quantities. ’I he great sgr culfutal cLos sells the product of its labor by a gold currency. By what cnrr.-ncy do.e it hire laborers to work, on the farm, or ou a cotton plantation ? By a paper currency and a high tariff, shat raise tbe price of labor about fifty ptr cent, above the specie stand ard of 1800. Hete is a government yard stick thut is two feet long tor one class of cit.zens, and three leet long for another olacs Farmers who raise cotton, corn, wheat, cut meats, butter, cheese, tobacco, and other staples, for foreign consumption, have no benefit from a high pro tective tariff and an inflated paper currency of seven hundred million dollars. No matter how cheap a lattner cun purchase cotton, woolen, leather, iron, steel tud all othei foreign manufac tures, he is lorbidden by law to touch any aruele of ibe kind wi hout paying an mormons tax lor the privilege. This restraint oil Lee trade is ex exceedingly injurious to commerce; und while putting one dollar into the treasury it takes ten dollars out of the pocket of tbe farmer, who really drags up hill the government load, chained to the short end of the evener. That American system, which burns com in the West because it is cheap er than coal and fire wood, which tells 30.000.1 .oo bushels of corn a year in England, because u cheaper than wheat straw for cattle, is ruin to the farmer, and desolating the virgin soil of the con tinent, while building up mammoth fortunes lor a few manufacturers. Of the five buudred milliou dollars extr.., more or less, that go into thejr coffers every year, in profits taken from the pock ets ot the people, how much finds its way into the National treasury ? When farmers in East Ten nessee give two prices for Virginia salt, does the money accumulated at Suhville pay our public debt? Thiß whole system of taxing heavily one class of citizens to enrich another class, is no bet ter than legal robbery. It is the cotton tax ou a five fold larger scale. Every clear headed man should see that government favoritism will de stroy the government. It is civil war in disguise, growing worse from year to year. The New York World regrets that the biting severity of lingering winter made it unpleasant for the congratulating multitudes who moved and waited in ths open air to witness tbe ceremony of President Grant’s second inauguration. Tnc bit ter churlishness of the weather did not represent the atmosphere of courtesy with which General Grant’s political opponents were williug to sur round tbe occasion. Yet the World adds : Hid poor Mr. Greeley been elected and lived, the thronging of the people in the keen winter air would have been as great, and tbeir eager en thusiasm altogether more irrepressible. Had his skilful pen drafted the inaugural address, and the lips now silent under the snow ot Greenwood pronounced it, admiring multitudes would have hung upon every sentence, and praise have been extorted from unwilling tongues. Tue wonder ful outpouring of mourners wbo so thickly lined many miles of our streets in the bland December on tlie occasion of his funeral, may give some taint idea of what would have taken place in Washington had he, instead ol his successful rival, been the recipient of yesterday’s honors. We’ trust our readers will pardon this allusion: “ My heart Is in the coffin there, And I must wait till it come back to me.” The Paris correspondent of the New York World says: Much excitement has been caused in the circles of the Fauborg St. Germain by the announcement of a contemplated and proximate uuiou between the Due d’Aumale and the young Duches de Luyr.es. T.ie Duchess, whose hu-bai and was Killed iu the Battle oi Patay, is a daughter of the Due de la Roi hefouCHUld-Bassacei i, by his first marriage with Mile, de Polignac, the Duke’s teeoud wile, being a daughter ot the Prince do Ligue. The late Duchess de iu Rochefoucauld was the sister ot the Priuee de Pokgnae, who served with so much courage iu the army of General Beauregard during ou,- war, and who, in th*e posi tion of a general of divisio’ - , commanded a portion Of the army of the Loire iu the late French catn paign, where ou several oecasiona he displayed such prodigies of valor as to win decoration on tbe field of battle. After the war he retired into the quiet of private life, and is at present one of the directors ot the journal culled fhe Corres pondence de Paris. Cleveland, Ohio, is terribly agitated in regard to a e vil rights case. The manager of one of the theatres lately ejected a colored mau from the areas circle and refused to admit others after tickets had been procured to that portion of the house. The colored people are now up in arms about it. A meeting has been held, and a suit for damages is to be brought against the manager, who proposes to fight it out on the ground that he |iag a rjgbr to ipake aud enforce Lis own rules, and on the further ground that, as the seal in which the colored man forced himself was marked “reserved,” he bad no right to it anyway, irre- Spetjfipe of the question ot color. Twafcee jjoiU keepris and theatrical managers seem very slow to recognize the fact that colored men now stand on a perfect footing of equality w'th their white brethren, and are determined not to be excluded from any placo of resort where white men con gregate. Lajor yg. (J^rpTAb, —A telegram from New York, 4th iuat., Bays the Tribune is authority lor the statement that another series of labor strikes similar to those of last year will shortly be inaug urated. The battle will be renewed iate in April or early in May. The trade organizations are now making extraordinary efforts to gain recruits so as to move with solid front when (he signal for revolt is given. Employers, however, are pre pared. They have avoided large contracts and Will co-operate for general defence. The Trades Unions are now much excited over the coming struggle. The Tribune deprecates a renewal of last year’s strikes, and points to the failures and los-es to both the capital and lfjljOf inte,6sts, and iu the whole community as reasons why they should not recur. The Telegraph and Messenger cf the Bth says. It is curren ly reported on the 6treet that Rel tber, ag Aggusia octoroon, anu said to he quite a ■harp fellow, has been appointed postmaster of this city. As the present incumbent, Mr. Elijah Bond, is a man of integrity and good character, and withal a consistent Republican, we can can see no other reason ter this step than a desire to retaliate upon the whites for the 80-called Macon massacre. Well pitch in, Mr. Grant, this is the way to “ rehabilitate’’ t3. We hope there is some mistake about this. Belcher has been known in Forsyth, and so unfa vorably that we should dislike to see him inflicted on the people of Macon. • —■— Tua Morning Star ana Catholic Messenger, (Father Ryan's paper) publishes the following extract from a recent letter written by tbe poet from Rome: “ I have deferred a long time writing to you, but ever since I left America I have beeu sieji. For four weeks } Laye been eocdued to my bed and was seiiously sick, so that f was obliged to give np my trip from Palestine and go back to Paris to consult physicians. They advised me to go back to Italy and then to Malta for my health. I am also suffering from weak sight.” Trfu anuu&i pqlitlcal campaign in New Hamp shire is now progressing. The Democrats claim that if a full party vote is polled, they wiii elect Governor Weston, and the Congressmen in the First and Third Districts; while the result in the Second District will depeud upon the amount of money u=ed by tbe oppoaing candidate. They say the Credit Mobilier matter and increase of salaries bill will have a disheartening effect upon the Re publican party —that they will carry six Senatorial Districts and leave no choice in another. A lady who was urging some friends to stay to dinner felt disgusted when her eight-year old boy came in and said: “ Mrs. Jones says she can’t spare no bread and Mrs. Brown ain’t to home, ao I did not get no butter." The friends thought they had better dine elsewhere, and the lady I thought so too, but ebe taught that boy that the way of the trangrecaor was hard before evening.

A Disease With a Thousand Symptoms.— Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human ailments. Its symptoms are almost iufinite in their variety and the forlorn and despondent vic tims of tbe disease often fancy themselves the pn-y, in turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to tie close sympathy which exists between the stomach and the biain, and in part also to the fact that any disturbance of tbj diges tive fuaciion necessarily disorders tbe liver, the bowels and the nervous system, and affects, to some extent, the quality of the blood. A medicine that, like liostetter’s Stomach Bitters, not only tones the stomach, but at the same time controls the liver, produces a regular habit of body, braces tbe nerves, purities tbe fluids and “ ministers to a mind diseased,” is therefore the true and ouly specific for chronic indigestion. Such is the op eration of this famous vegetable restorative. It not only cures dyspepsia, but also all concomi tants and consequences. Moreover, it is invalua ble as a preventive of indigestion. No one who chooses to take half a w ineglassful of this agreea ble appetizer and stomachic habittully three times a day will ever be troubled with oppression alter eating, nausea, sour eructations, or any other in dications of a want of vigor in the digestive and assimilating organs. The debility and languor superinduced by hot weather are immediately and permanently relieved by the Bitters, and persons who are constitutionally inclined to look upon life “as through a glass, dandy,” will be apt to take a brighter and more hopeful view of the sit uation under the genial influence of this whole some medicinal stimulant. In spite of your teeth, Both above and beneath Being lightly ea-mel’d and thin, They will never break down, Nor turn yellow or brown, It the Soxodom’s daily rubbed in.
