In tha matter of < Bankrupts.
Moseley, Wells A Cos. > *
Fi SEINE, J.—About the middle of A; r.i, 1872,
the families cf the present bankrepts, res; < etivt
'y, its*ituti-d proceedings in the Court ol Ordi
nary of Lowndes county, in this District, nndtr
the 13th section of the act of October 3d, 1868,
commonly calied the Homestead or Exemption
law, to tm-.e set apart and adjudged for the Use ol
the families of i-ach of the bankrupts, the real and
pers -nai properly exempted by the provisions of
the it:-’. The Taiue of the realty that may be s t
apart l.r the wife and children ol the bankrupt,
may be #2,000 in specie and #I,OOO in specie in
persona! property. The Ord.r.ary appointed ap
praisers to appraise and allot the exempted prop
erty. They acted and returned their actings and
doings in the ; remises into the Court of Ordinary.
On tt 27th of April, D72, the Ordinary approved
the returns and set apart the property so ap
praised to the families of the bankrupts. On the
Ist of May cert tin creditors of the bankrupts took
appeals to the Superior Court of said county,
from ti e judgments of the Court of Ordinary, on
the ground that the property set apart was of
greater value than that p laced upon it by the ap
praisers, and sanctioned by the decision of the
C.urt cf Ordinary. These several appeals are
now depending and undetermined ia the appel
late triluna!—the Superior Court ot Lowndes
county.
An appeal brings up the whole rccoid and is a
tie im*u investigation. “ The appeal,” says the
Code, sec. 1572, “suspends, but does not vacate
judgment; and if dismissed or withdrawn, the
rights of all parties are the tCme as if no appeal
had been entered.” But, notwithstanding the
fact that the entire cause is opened for review—
that the whole case is to be tried over again, as if
it never l ad been tried ; yet it is obvious, from
the very words of the Code Itself, that the decis
ion cr judgment pronounced by the Inferior
Court remains of force, though the fruits of the
judgment cannot be gathered by the parties in
whose favor it stands, until the appellate Court
shall have decided that there is no error therein.
If, however, the Court And that there is error in
the judgment, it will reverse the same in whole,
cr, I apprehend, in part, aud then enter such
judgment, according to the justice of the case, as
the luferior Court—in this case, the Court of Or
dinary of Lowndes county—ought to have en
tered.
As already seen, the appeals from the several
Judgments of the Court of Ordinary to the Su
perior Court were taken on the Ist of May, 1872.
On the oth of the aamo month and year, the credi
tors of Moseley, Wells & Cos. filed their petition
in this Court, under the 89th section ot the Bank
rupt Act, thus initiating proceedings against them
in involuntary bankruptcy; and, on the oth of
June, 1872, Moseley, Wells & Cos. were, by judg
ment of this Court, declared bankiupts.
Counsel for the creditors contended that cn the
filing of tha petition in involuntary bankruptcy, on
the 6th of May, 1872, the jurisdiction of the State
Courts over the proceedings then pending by vir
tue of the Statu statute, of October 3d, ISOB, in
regard to the several homesteads and exemptions,
ceased, and the jurisdiction of this Court attached
—drawing to it for adjudication and distribution
among the creditors all the estate of the bank
rupts, and in which estate was included the prop
erty set apart for ami adjudged to the families of
the several parties declared bankrupts, on the sth
of Jnue, 1872. It was fuither Insisted, that the
Judgments pronounced by the Court of Ordinary
on the 27th of April, 1872, were respectively but
mesne process ; and bring rendered within four
months next receding the commencement of the
proceedings in lavolunic.ry bankruptcy, were, by
force ol the 14’:■ secthm of the Bankrupt Act dis
solved. in support ol the last point, counsel cited
and relied upon the case of Randall et al. vs. M<t-
Larin, 40 Ha., 162. There a judgment had been
rendered by the Federal Court of South Carolina,
and upon which judgment a suit was instituted iu
the Superior Court ot Chatham eouuty, Georgia.
Warner, J., in delivering the opinion ot the Court,
said: “Thejudgment obtained in the State of
South Carolina in the District Court, ceuid not
be collected in this State, except by a suit there
on, at common law, or by process of attachment;
and in either case, the proceeding instituted to
collect the amount of the judgment debt in this
State in mesne process. There can be no doubt
that a writ of attachment is mesne process, and if
saed out within four months immediately before
the defendant is declared a bankrupt, it must be
dissolved, as provided by the Bankrupt act. And
as to the judgment, upon which the action was
brought to recover its contents, it was a mere
chose iu action, with many of the attributes of a
promissory note or bill of exchange, and the pro
ceeding instituted to collect It, was also but mesne
process, for all writs necessary to a suit between
its beginning and end are mesne process. And this
is the well-established rule of practice in Courts
governed by the principles of the common law ;
therefore, the latter is affected by the Bankrupt
act like the former—the process of attachment.
Tommty <£• Staeart vs. Finney, 42 Ga., 155, was
also presented. This case consisted originally of
two—one a suit in a Magistrate’s Court, appealed
to the Superior Court; the other, a suit brought
in the Superior Court after the Magistrate’s case
had been appealed. Both accounts, it seems, were
due when the suit on one was brought in the
Magistrate’s Court. Judge Montgomery in giv
ing the opinion of tha Supreme Court, said: “It
is insisted by defendant in error that both ac
counts are aud er the agreed statement of facts
bat one and should have been sued in the same
action. * * * * The reply is, that an appeal
is aJe novo investigation and the first action is a
suit now pending” [on appeal] “in the Superior
Court: Code, see. 8571; and hence there is no
judgment to bar.” And the Coart held that the
pendency oi the first action as a defence to the
account could not be taken advantage o.* by a plea
in bar at the second term, but ought to have been
by plea in abatement. It will be perceived that
this case turned ou a point of pleading and did
not touch the legal statue of the judgment rendered
in the Magistrate’s Court.
It was not questioned, I believe, that the Court
of Ordinary had jurisdiction over the subject mat
ter of the Homestead proceedings. When the
Court ofOidinsry rendered its decisions on the
Homestead proceedings, the judgments were bind
ing and effective, it no appeals had been taken to
the Superior Court. Now, it is to the Code that
attention must be directed lo ascertain what effect
each of the appeals had on the legal condition cf
the judgments rendered by the Court of Ordinary,
on the 27th of April, 1872, and appealed on the
Ist of May following—six days prior to the com
mencement ol the proceedings in involuntary
bankruptcy. As previously stated, the 3515th sec
tion of the Code says : “Au appeal suspends,
but does not vacate judgment.” This language
is too plain to need construction. I entirely
agree with the counsel that the mere application
tor a Homestead gives no iien on the property,
and also that a iien, to have any standing in the
Bankrupt Court, must be a lien at the time the
party becomes a bankrupt. If, therefore, the
judgments entered by the Court cf Oidinary on
the Homestead exemption, iu favor of the fami
lies of the parties since declared Bankrupts, are
not liens attached to the property alloted and set
apart, then the property, by operation of the
bankrupt law, is before this court for ajudication.
Counsel cited the case of I Vootfo'k vs. Murray, 44,
Ga. 133; Seymour vs. Morgan, 45, Id. 201, and the
Justices, itv., vs. Haygood, 15, Id. 309; to show
that no lien existed, notwithstanding the judg
ments of the Court of ordinary in favor of the
families ot .he present bankrupts. In tbs Justi
fies, dv., vs. Ifaygood, Starnes, J., said : “ By the
provisions ot our judiciary system an appeal at
common law vacates the judgment on the first
trial for alt the purposes cf a rehearing.” If it
was the intention ot the Court, as was insisted, to
decide that when an appeal is entered from an
interior to a superior court, that that act vacates ;
the judgment appealed from, then the reply is,
that since the time of that deci-ion the rule of
law—if rule of law ii was—has betn charged by
the Code, which expressly d#cia;ea that thejudg- j
ment Is su-; ended, not vacated. But still, I en
tertain doubts that the sentence just cited fiom
the report of the case, warrants a meaning so ex
tended and strong, as has been contended tor.
Coanrtl argued that the law of this State is now
as it was at the time The Justices, <tr., vs. Haygood
was decided, and the case cf Seymour vs. Morgan
was eferred to. Iu that ease McCay, J., in pro
nouncing the opinion of the coart, observed:
“One buying land after judgment against the
owner which has been vacated by an appeal, buys
it with notice and subject to the final judgment,
but be is co more a purchaser after the judgment
than one who buys with notice of the vendor’s
1 cd, or with notice of any other feet which will
make the land si.’jeet <o a judgment against the
vendor.’ If it was the purpose of the Court to
hold that an appeal vacated 3 judgment rendered
in the court from which the appeal was taken, to
my mind it seems directly repugnant to the very
words and spirit of the £5721 seciion of the Code.
If the word “ vacated,” as found in the report, is
not there by misteke of the printer or oversight,
then it is manifest to the reader that a purchase,
under the circumstances mentioned in the sen
tence quoted, would not find a judgment which
has been vacated—made void—an impediment in
the title.
Woolfclk vs. Murray —ln this case, the wife,
after her husband had been adjudged a bankrupt
and the property had passed into the hands of the
United Slates Marshal, made application to the
Ordinary to have a Homestead set apart for her
self and children, under the act of 1658. McCay,
J., in giving the judgment of the Court, said:
“ But it is very clear that until it [the Homestead]
is laid tfl there is no property or right of property
in the family. * * * * It is a right which
depends for its txiUe cs upon the judgment of the
j Court. And a like thought is expressed in a sub
sequent part of the opinion. That distinguished
and learned Judge snys : “ It is clear to us, there
fore, that this right of the wife is not a title, lien
or incumbrance upon the husband’s property,
until it has been appropriated by a judgment.”
And as there was no judgment of the Court of
Ordinary, or other ccurt having jurisdiction an
terior to the adjudication of bankruptcy, the court
held that the jurisdiction over the property
sought to he exempted, passed to the Federal
Court to be there adjudicated. See S. P. Lumpkin
VB. Eason Id. 32b.
A judgment is the sentence ol the law pro
nounced by a court, o. - a judge thereof, upon a
matter in issue in any cause before iu I am of
the opinion that each of the appeals taken on the
Ist cf May, 1872, from the Court of Ordinary to
the Superior Court, in no wise affected the de
cision or judgment of the former tribu&ai, further
than to suspend or interrupt it from proceeding,
until the cau?e appealed is rovieved and passed
upon by the appeliate Court; in other words,
that each of the judgments created a lien upon
the property set apart to the families, respec
tively, of the present bankrupts, and each judg
ment so rendered remains intact, though for the
time fruitless.
Whether the property set apart for the families
of these bankrupts was partnership property (for
this is a point in controversy)—property held in
trust far the firm creditors; or whether if part
nership property, these families would be enti
tled to homesteads out of it, are questions that
this Court, in this proceeding, declines to pass
upoD. And the same may be said as to the other
points presented in argument, or other questions
which might arise out of the facts of the case.
On none of these questions will the Court antici
pate an opinion.
I instruct the assignee forthwith lo apply to the
Honorable, the Superior Court of Lowndtw Coun
ty, for leave to be made a party to tbe proceed
ings there pending on the several appeals taken
from the Court of Ordinary of Lowndes County.
The Clerk of this Court will certify the forego,
ing opinion to Mr. Register Beckett.

The Lon'Hiann War.
The recent fatal and lamentable collision be
tween the whites sr.d blacks iu Grant Parish, ac
counts oi which have been given, is but the inev
itable and of the policy pursued
by the Government toward the South, and the iu
iquitoua and corrupting teachings of political
demagogues and venal carpet-baggers, who use
the negro to promote their own aggr&ndi*ement
and create opportunities to satiate the desire of
their pilfering scuis. There has been so much class
legislation iu favor of the negroes, so much license
giaated them, so muchcourtiug of their favor, and
a desire to make them feel, recognize and appre
ciate their social, moral, mental and physical
equality with the whites, by the party in power,
that they have grown insolent, over-bearing and
dogmatical, and are determined to do as their
misguided wishes dictate, without regard to the
sovereign rights of the white people; and in tbe
execution of their foul and venal schemes they
expect, as heretofore, to be protected by tbe
Government.
Directed and instigated by white men, whose
souls are filled with tbe hatred and envy of a long
line of ancestry, they have committed outrages of
the most daring character, and crimes unknown
ia the charter that goverrs perdition. Yet the
President sits quietly iu the mansion of the peo
ple, ar,d beholds the distruction of their lives
and property, without interference. The people
have submitted aud remonstrated, until despair
ing of protection from the lf.w, are fast coming to
the determination to protect themselves.
The affair in Louisiana is but the beginning of
and end of what surely will be, if there is not an
interference by the Government. They may pre
cipitate a war of races before they are aware of it.
In such a war the complete and total extermina
tion of the negroes would not be problematical.
Let them beware, for they may yet “ reckon with
out their host.”
Bkxtish Fogeries.— The Savannah Advertiser
S3J9 :
The recovery of nearly a quarter of a million of
dollars in United States bonds, which had been
obtained by Macdonald alias Bidwell and his asso
ciates in the late Bank of England forgeries, was
effected iu New York last week. On the sth of
March last a trunk said to contain wearing appar
el, old and in nse, was delivered at the office ol
the North Atlantic Express Company, London, by
a person calling himself C. Lossiug, of Tunbridge
Wells, England, and addressed to Major George
Mathews, New Y'ork. The trunk was duly for
warded by the Express company, and reached New
York by the steamship Cuba, aud was kept in
bond as per instructions.
In the meantime, the counsel for the Bank ot
England had received some information in regard
to the trunk which led to its detention by the ex
press company until Monday, when it was taken
possession ot under an order of the Supreme
Court by Nathaniel Jaunis, Esq , receiver in the
Bank cf England forgery case, aud on being
opened and examined, was found ao contain a
quantity of wear.ng apparel, old and in use, two
gold watches, several miscellaneous articles, and
three packages of United Stales five-twenty and
ccn-forty bonds rolled up in soiled linen, amount
ing in all to $220,950. The bonds were lound to
bo identical in class, amount and number with
those .idvertised by the Bank of England to have
been obtained by the Bidwell forgeries, and in the
trunk were found cards and a card plate, with the
name “Geo. Bidwell,” and a variety of memoran
da, bills, etc., showing conclusively tLat it had
teen shipped by and belonged to him. Out of
S3OO, OgO obtained from the Bank of England by
these Urgeries, ail but $30,000 have now been re

“ Western newspaper offices are afflicted with a
I terrible fellow known as the ‘exchange fiend.’—
otherwise the gentleman who casually ‘just drops
in’ every day to look over the exchanges. Some
journals in that part of the country have had in
use buzz-saws as a means of exterminating these
wretches; bat the buzz-saw has been found to be
not quite the thing, since it makes a noise and
warns the fiend of what is coming. The Louis
ville Courier Journal of a recent date publishes
a communication from a Mr. * J. C. Braithewaite
Bogardus,’ who claims to have invented a * Patent
Irresistible Kicker,’ wh:eh is warranted to make
the fiend a suitable subject for a surgical opera
tion iu the brief space of.two minutes. This in
vention comprises a chair, the seat of which is
well furnished with powerful springs, an immense
boot coucealed in the fioor, and a sort of hoisting
apparatus with a large hook attachment. The
fiend seats himself in a chair and picks up an ex
change, and is almost instantly teseed np to tbe
hook, which catches him and holds him in mid
air; then the boot emerges from the floor like a

Jeff Davis.—A correspondent, w,Ling from

Oar most noted eiPz n, Hon. Jefferson Davi
la tha most retiring and quiet person wt L ove iu
our community. He devotes Limseif to the du
ties of president of the Caroiiua Life Insurance
Company, managing its affairs with great judg
ment and discretion. It is generally understood
that Mr. Davis is a ru id hater, but this does not
imply that he is cot a very genial ard more than
ordinarily good-natured person. Possessing a
wonderful store o’ knowledge, audaii exceedingly
happy lacaliy of teliirg what he knows, makes
the ex-President of the Confederacy an acquaint
acce to be sought after. It he is not in the harits
of pardoning an enemy, neither does he ever
forget a friend.
MR. DAVIS’ OPINION GF B2N. IT hi. AND LONG
STREET.
Not long since, I was present when a gentle
man remarked to Mr. Davis that the political
course of Bsc. Hill, of Georgia, was, to say the
least of it, to be regretted. “ Possibly,” an
swered Mr. Davis, “ Hill might have pursued a
course in-recent politics that I would have liked
better, if I cared much abou* sued things; but I
will be far from censuring the mau for anything
he may do r.ow who stood ty me when -ii others
fotsook our cause, it was in those trying times
that he piovtd himself the truest of (he true, rt is
pen aud his voice were oa my tide when I most
needed them, and they w : j tqual to ten thous
and bayonet?, and I shall not forget his services.’’
The other endeavored to support his position by
citing Longstreet’s case, arguing that Loi.gstrcet
had been a good soldier in a good cause, yet his
late political antecedents a-e sufficient to destroy
any and all former i rmed of him.
Mr. DtYis did not ease exactly parallel.
Longstreet was an ordinary nun, whose place
could have been supplied by a thousand persons.
Hill was a great man and a power.
Why Me* do not Marry. —The Cincinnati
Enquirer says : The Rev. Henry Morgan, Of New
York, baa been delivering a lecture upon the very
important question, “ Why Men do not Marry.”
He gave eight reasons, each of which in itself
would appear to be sufficient: First, because they
eould not get the woman wham they wanted —
they looked too high for beauty, talent and per
fection which was beyond their reach; second,
because they were cowards—they dared not “face
the music,” aud quaked at the lightning flashes
of a fair maiden’s eye ; third, because they were
skeptical—they had no faith ia woman’s constan
cy, and believed her weak and trail; fonith, be
cause they were selfish and stiagy and did not
think that they couid support wives; fifth, be
cause women of genius were not always good
housewives (the reverend gentleman advised his
male auditors not to marry geniuses); sixth, be
cause of man’s own extravagance—many of our
young men spend their incomes foolishly, and of
coarse could not afford to marry ; seventh, be
cause they were afraid of divorce, which was made
by the laws too easy—free love was poisoning the
system of marriage ; eighth, because of woman’s
extravagance—it costs as much to launch a woman
on the sea of wedded life in these times as it
would to fit out a small schooner. As to sails,
cordage, pennants and streamers, the difference,
he opined, was in favor of tbe schooner. As to
her outfit, she was to be freighted with bonnets,'
veils, necklaces, ear-rings, pins, chains, bracelets,
rings, ruffles, bows, bands, buttons, loops, folds,
pipings, pleats, silks, muslins, laces, fans, boots,
slippers, parasols, collars, cuffs, nets, chignons,
waterfalls, rats, mice, braids, frizzles, switches,
puffs, curls, panier, tournure, Grecian bend.
What a cargo was this for such a email vessel!
Few are the underwriters who take the “risk”
in such a craft; and few were the men who would
marry this “ Doily Varden ” walker advertise
ment.
At the bottom of all this rests the great reason,
and that is a very serious one for society to con
sider. It is getting to be too expensive to marry,
and beyond the means of constantly increasing
numbers of people. This is one oi ihe most
alarming signs of. the future, for few will deny the
promises that upon marriage rusts our whole
social 6upeiftt.uctuit. AiJ the improvements,
discoveries and inventions which Lave been made
In modern time3 seem only to have one result —
that of making our lives more artificial and com
plicated, end consequently more expensive. Every
thing seems to run ia the channel of increasing
our wants without in the least giving us any
means of satisfying them. This is the great fault
of our present civilization. The old, simple styles
of our ancestors have long beea repudiated, and a
standard of wealth and luxury has been established
which seems to throw matrimony out of the ques
tion, and thereby to entail upon our posterity the
most alarming evils.

A GREAT BLESSING.
N EVER, since the time “when the morning
stars sang together, ’ has inert- been a grearer
medical discovery and blowing to the human race
than the
GLOBE FLOWER COUGH SYRUP.
This delightful and rare compound is the active
principal, obtained by chemical process, from the
“ Globe Flower,” known also as “ Button Root,”
and in Botany as “ Cephalanthus Occi Jentalis.”
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is almost an infalli
ble cure for every description of Cough, Colds,
Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Croup, Whooping Cough
Pleurisy, Influenza, Astern i, BrooeliitG, etc.; and
will cure Consumption, when taken m time—-as
thousands will testify.
Globe Flower Cough Sytup will cure the most
obstinate cases of Cnronie Cough and Lung af
fections, when all other boasted remedies fail.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of opium or any ol its preparations.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a
particle of poison, or any ingredieut that cculd
hurt the most delicate child.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup has become, where
known, the most popular Cough Medicine in the
country, because it lias successfully withstood the
three great tests of merit, viz : Time, Experience,
and of Competition, and remains, after passing
through this ordeal, the best article of its kind in
the world.
Globe Flower Cough Syrup is pleasant to the
taste, and does not disagree with the most delicate
stomach.
Physicians who have consumptive patients, are
invited to try the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. Its
magical effects will at once be felt and acknowl
edged.
Beware of counterfeits: the genuine has the
words Globe Flower Cough Sgrup blown in each
bottle, and the signature 3 of the proprietors upon
each label. The trade mark label and compound
are protected by Letters Patent.
Don’t take any other article as a substitute for
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. It your druggist or
merchant has none on hand, request him to order
it for you.
Thousands of Testimonials of the most wonder
ful cures are constantly being received from the
North, East, West and South—some of which
seem almost miraculous.
Sold by all Druggists at $1 00 per bottle, $5.00
for one-half dozen.
