Bloi>c Warranties and Fraud*.
The case of Anthony vs. Halstead,
recently decided in the Court of
Common Pleas, England, presents
some interesting phases oi legal con
st ruction of horse warranties, al
though not new to the kgd profes
sion. The plaintiff, Anthony,
brought suit in the Comity Court on
the following contract:
“ Received of G. Anthony, Esq., the sum of X6O
for a black horse rising five years. Quiet to ride
and drive, and warranted sound up to this date, or
suajeot to the opinion of a veterinary surgeon.”
The proof showed that the horse
was not quiet.
The Judge of the County Court
held that the receipt contained a
warranty that the horse was quiet,and
verdict and judgement were render
ed in favor of tae plaintiff, from
will h the delendent, Halstead, ap
pealed to the Court o ! ; Common
Pleas, where, after trial, ‘he court
reversed the judgement of the Coun
ty Court, and held that the warran
ty extended only to the soundness of
:ke horse, and that the words in the
receipt that the horse was “quiet t.>
ride and drive” was not, by the
training oi the paper, a part oi' the
warranty.
As stated, this ruling is not new
either i* l England or America, but
the reader must, in orde>* that he
may not be deceived by it, bear in
mind that this suit was based on the
supposed warranty contained in
the receipt, and that the plaintiff’s
attorney misconstrued the paper,and
took what was either a deceit or
fraud to be a warranty.
Nothing is better settled than that,
if a vend >r says that a material fact
exists, which does not, and he there
by in the vendee to purchase, lie is
guilty of a fraud, or what is called
m the books a deceit, upon whid)
he is liable to the same extent that
he would have been had he warrant
ed the fast to exist. To sustain an
allegation of fraud, however, it is
necessary to show that the party
making the false repre.-entation a
Dually know at the time he made it
that it was false.
This piiueipal is founded upon
the axioms that the law puts all
men on the strictest eipiuiity, and
presumes every mm to be honest,
th it his purposes are pure, and that
all his statem nts are truthful.
Therefore, what is termed the onus
of proof rests, under the law, upon
the party alleging the fraud, and he
must prove it, and prove it substan
tially as alleged.
To illustrate: If, on the sale of a
horse, A savs to B, ‘Tie is sound as
far as i know,’’ and it turns out that
the horse was then unsound, and
that A know the fact, he is liable in
damages, that, is, for the ditf .rence
between the horse in his unsound
condition and what he would have
been worth if the representation had
been true. If A had used tins ex
pression, however, and . ouestiy be
lieved at the time that it was true,
and nad reasonable ground to so be
lieve, then he would not be liable,
for there must be an intent to mis-
La 1 to constitute a fraud.
In following the line of decisions
of the Courts of the several Stales
of the American Union, on the sub
ject of warranties and frauds, asap
plied to the sales of horses, it is
somewhat difii mlt to keep up the
distinctions laid down above, for the
singular disposition of modern com ts
to meet what they call the equities
ot the case, has sometimes confumrl
ed warranties with frauds, and rice
rasa. This is all the more as ton
idling to the practitioner, who
biings or defends a cause, upon set
tled and acknowledged principles.
In a case where ho defends and de
feats an adversary on such princi
ples, and the court rewards his yn
er nes and learning with an opinion
that ‘‘although the case has not
been legally made out, yet the equi
ties have been met, and we will set
aside the verdict,” invariably illus
trates how uncertain equity must he
if it is made to rest upon the opinion
of men rather than long-estaolisned
maxims and well-considered iules.
Asa rule, representations made
about patent facts, which may be
seen bv the vendee, and of which he
may be his own judge, will not be
taken a? fraudulent, although they
may not bo true in fact. A state
ment bv a vendor that a horse “has
two good eyes,” when it is palpable
that on one side there is no eye, the
ball having perished, and eniireh
disappeared from the socket, was
hil l neither a warranty nor fraud.
Where a party, however, sai 1 “he
ius one good eye, the other is out,’’
ami il turned out in proof that tie
one eye w;u out and tint the other
was complaining, and that the ven
dor had treated it previously,
and the suit was based upmj a
warranty and the fraud* the jurv
hmml a general verdict for the |rtnTn-~
tiff, anti the court refused to set
o-ude the verdict. It is probable
that the action was probably sus
tained upon either ground.
The manciples, as illustrated, ap
ply with equal force to every species
of defects and every class of warran
t.es and frauds, such as that a horse
is by a particular sire, of a particu
lar family, L gentle, has never had
colic, is quiet in harness; if a trotter,
tnal lie has no record, when
he has ; if ;l runner,that he is a
maiden, when he is not, etc.,
and nothing is more common than 1
for juries, in ease the contract
is verbal, and the proof negatives
the representations of the vendor, to
treat it as if there were both a war
ranty and a fraud, and in a pecunia
ry point of view to f he plaintiff there
is generally no difference, except up
on a question of interest upon dam- ;
ages, which follows a warranty, but
may be allowed bv the jury, at its
discretion, upon the actual difference
in value between the horse as repre
sented and as proven.
Immigration to Liberia.
On the 2nd day of Jan, the bark
Liberia left New York on her tenth
trip to the South African republic
whose name she bears, laden witli a
cargo of lifty-s'x emigrants. * Tiic
most of them were from Virginia,
and were described as being stalwart
negroes in the prime of life, with us
ual accompaniment of ‘piccaninnies”
an 1 in one family there was an old
“mammy” of seventy years. They
were eheifly of the farming class,
but a few of tl em were mechanics,
and a fewer number educated men
.Sherwood Capps, the negro who pe
titioned Congress lately for national
aid in the work of colonizing Libes
via, is a graduate from Shaw
University at flaleigb N. C. Me is
a teacher and is preparing for the
ministry, and is eutnusiastic in liis
hope ot Christianizing the African
continent. Another teacher, A. M.
Page was educated at Friske Univer
sity, Tennessee, and Sam White of
Mississippi. Among the passengers
were two colored preachers who went
to Liberia in 1853, and returned
here six months ago on a visit. They
praised the climate an other advan
tages of Liberia in glowing terms.
These emigrants are sent out by the
American Colonization Society whose
teat is at Wasbin.t n. Their funds
are said to be raised by voluntaiy
subscription. The passage tnouey is
858 for alt over the age of twelve,
and 885 for those under that age.
At Motiravia, the seaport and capi
tal, the emigrants" are- received by
the Society’s agent, and provided
for at the expense ot the Socety
for six months. The cost of this
work of colonizing Liberia is about
-8100 per head; so the last depart
ure of emigrants represent id ail out
lav of nearly 80,000
There was a convention of rail
road men in Macon last week, to
consider the question of giving ex
cursim tickets 'rom the North and
Test to Florida. Tiie convention
decided to place on sale immediate*
Iv at all points west of Buffalo, and
Pittsburgh, tSavaunah, Charleston,
Xas-ua, ilavan'nali, and other points.
The rates fixed ou were the same as
l ist year.
The annual renting of pews in Ply
mouth church took place last week.
There was a falling off of tweuty*five
per cent. The highest pew rented
for only SGIS. The total amount of
premiums was $24,171. XV ith the ad
dition of the fixed rental of the pews—
-912 733— the total amount realized is
$33/304. Last year the amount of pre
miums was $34,003, which with the
fixed rentals, $12,733, made a total
of $47,308. The total receipts in pre
vious years have beeu : In I>i2, $30,-
875; 1873, $60,230- 1874, $59,430; 187 5
$70,319,50 ; 1870, $63,680.
It is now an acknowledged fact that eon
sumption can be cured. It lias been cured (
in a very great number of eases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by
Schenck’s pulmonic syrup aloue, and .in
others by the same medicine in connection
with Schcuck s sea X\ eed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
The old supposition that “Consumption
is incurable’’ for many years deterred
Physicians from attempting to find any
remedy for that disease, and patients af~
llicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to
save shem from a doom which was con
sidered inevitable.
Dr. Sclienck himself was supposed at
one time to be at the very gate of death,
his Physicians having pronounced the case
hopeless and abau aincd nim u> his fate,
he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterward enjoyed uninterupted good
health for more than forty years. Thous
ands of paopie have used Dr. Sehenck’e

Cause or Failure*.
Ibe financial question is now the
a? absorbing question before the
American people. Wbowjufigures and
tacU are presented how are we to
1 evade ouglusionu
brings intelligence of individuals,
firms and coi p rations making assign
ments. iSon.e mails bring the in
telligence of ad >zea failures. Where
doe 9 the cause lie ? It is more in
toe fin meial system of our country
than anywhere else. Examine the
figures and determine for yourself.
In June 1864, just before the war
ended the amount of paper money
issues outstanding, consisting of
greenbacks, p s:al currency, Treas
ury notes, certificates of inJMitedn'CSs 1
National bank notes, s'ate bauk
notes, seven thirty notes, temporary
deposit-, was 81 125,877,UJ4,68. Du
ring 1864 there were 520 failures and
the aggregate liabilities 88,666,-
000. In 1805, the amount of paper
money was 81,651,292,873, and the
per capita was 846,42.
In 1869 the circulation was a lit
tle more and the per capita was 850,
76. Since then there has been a
gradual contraction, every year.
The amount in circulation last year
was $96,444,364 and the per capita
has come down to the small sum of
814,60, three and one half times
less than in 1865. The amount in
circulation grows beautifully less ev
ery year and the population ijfereas
es every year. Is it not a plain
proposition ? We need s j much
money to transact the business of
the country. We need so much
provisions to feed the people on for a
year. If the amount of provisions
are decrease 1 and the nnnfber of
people to be fed increased from year
to \ear, is it not plain that some
(tail) perish. With these facts
who can say that there should be
forced resumption next January, anu
thereby make the circulation much
than it now is ?
Sectional Jealousy.
Jonn A. Andrew, of Massachusetts,
as stanch a Republican as ever lived,
and a war Governor worthty of the
great traditions of his State, said, sub
stantially, when the war ended, that
the country must now make peace as
zealously as it had made war. For a
thousand obvious reasons, this was
very difficult. The long mutual jeal
ousy of the sections, the abolition of
slaver} , the subverted political and in
dustrial situation of the South, were
all radically deranging elements.
The above paragraph we clip
from Harpers Weekly. Wo caut see
the thousand obvious reasons that
prevented the country, when the
war closed from making peace as
zealously as it had made war. In
fact we can see but one promi
nent reason that has been an obstruc
tion to peace and reconciliation.
That reason is the desire of the Re
publican party to mahraih itself iy
power. When Gen. Lee surrendered
at Appomattox the South'considered
the war at an end and has so deport
ed itself. Rut how about the North
and the Republican party in particu
lar. As we have said the party
sought to maintain itself htt power
not by fair and butdiy
disfranchising the brains and intellect
and enfranchising the ignorance and
imbecility of the South. And we- have
not the slightest doubt in the world
that the same policy would be in force
to-day if the Radical north could
have had it so. But thank God, the
grand character, the heroic illy de
termined and the invincible South
could not be held in such degrada
tion. It was a lamentable (to the
Republican party) mistake to have
pursued such a course and the able
Curtis who penned the above para
graph would better serve Jiis coun
try by endeavoring to teach Ins par
ty, that justice, honesty and right is
the best policy. This sectional jeal-
oitsy has beeu kojit |tp Ly tlip lead
ers of the Republican party to affect
their purpose. When some Somb
er n newspaper scribbler did not fur
nish an article for capital, they
would send a carpet bagger or hire
a scalawag to hatch up one for a
northern paper. When negroes
were not naturally inclined to got
into difficulties with the whites and
bring about a massacre the party of
hate would accnre such results
through their pliant tools.
Northern vinidictiveness and in
justice. added to Republican
ity has kept up this sectional jeal
ousy and thus prevented the country
from peace and reconciliation. The
coals of hell are aglow to-day over
some of the party leaders, who mans
nfactured these crimes for their own
personal advancement or to maintain
party organization. They will keep
the flames glowing but a short
while, when they will be joined by
the few that survive them. We are
already told that the intelligent and
patriotic men of the country no lon
ger permit themselves to be arraved
against each other to promote the
{HMsonal interests of party leaders.
It had been mure truthfully sail, if
it had been asserted that the Repub
bean leaders can no longer gull the
more ignorant aud unthinking of the
North. If a just and honest policy
had been adopted by the Republican
paitv how different would have been
the result. When the war ended
there were thousands of union men
in the e-outh who would have become
Republicans, under a just and honest
banner, lint when the party sought
to debase the white race of the
disfranchise its intellect, an 1
gi\e the ignorant negro the luliug
power, the white vote became solidly
democratic.
Is there a semibarbariaii in the
United states who cant sec that thu
Republican party manifested no sa
gacity and astuteness in adopting the
unjust policy of disfranchising
intellect and taking to its bosom the
treacherous inbocile, who ihinks not

As to tiie subverted Political and
industrial condition of the south, we
admit that our political condition has
been a distilibing element. But why
has it? Simply from the reasons
given above. If the leaders of the
Republican party bad given the at
tention to the industrial condition of
the south, they have to the political,
doubtless the whole country would be
now much more prosperous. ’1 he
policy of the party has been to keep
up sectional jealousy, and the fact
that it has been kept up is due to
nothing else.
Senator VoorhceV Mpceoli,
On Tuesday of last week Senator
Voorhces, of Indiana made a great
speech m the United Scutes Senate,
on what is known as the “Silver
Bill.” He atily and successfully de
fended the South and West against
the charges of repudiation and dis
honesty and showed that the charg
es were applicable to the other side
—the bondholders and monied Shy
locks of the East. He assumed
that the agitation of the financial
question would never ceme unt 1 “the
people are satisfied that our vast
debt is now in process of extinction
upon principles of justice to tax-pay
ing labor, or on the other hand
lUey are subjugated into silent sub
mission, and the Government be
come in spirit, and form a mon
ied aristocracy.” He believed
that to a,great exient, our whole fi
nancial system is an organized crime
against the laboring tax-paying
men and women of the United
States.
The bonded debt of the nation be
gan with the act of 25th ot January
18(52. The precious metals were
found unequal to the emergency of
war and were abandoned, as soon as
Jic hour of Uhl came. Gold and
silver cowed in the' rear says he,
while the legal tender dollar went
to the front with the flag and stay
ed there. Senator Voorhees, puts *Sec
retarv Sherman t > shame by produ
cing a lett tof Sherman’s, written
in 1858. in which he takes the same
stamHbat Vooi'l+eea nw takes. The
speech was one of the ablest and
most eloquent delivered in the,Senate
for years. At the conclusion there
was so much excitement that the
senate was compelled to adjourn. He
summed up by saying the people
demand that the following specific
wrongs be redressed ;
“1. The restoration ot the silver,
dollar exactly as it stood bet >re it was
touched by the act of February, 1873.
They desire that it shall have unlim
ited coinage—not fearing that it
, will become too plenty for their wants
—and that it be made a full legal ten
der, believing that it is as good now
with wlTch to pay’ all debts, public
an dprivate, as it was during eighty
one y'cars of American history’.
“2. The repeal, unconditionally’,
of the act of January 14, 1875, com
pelling the resumption of spe
cie payments in January, 1879,
holding that the question of a
return to a specie basis for our cur
rency should be controlled entirely
by the business interests of the coun
try. They do not believe that the
country should be dragged through
the depths of the mire of wretched
ness and degradation in order to
reach a gold standard for the benefit
alone of the income classes.
“3. That the National Banking
6ystem be removed and a circulating
medium provided by the Government
for the people without taxing them
for the privilege of obtaining it, and
they ask that the amount thus placed
in circulatin shall bear a reasonable
and judicious proportion to business
transactions and population of the
United State?.
“4. That the currency authorized
and circulated on the authority of
the government shall he made legal
tender in payment of all debt*, pup
lic and priVatc, intfiidlng a!f du. s ti
the government, well knowing that it
will then l>e on a jiar of gold, or
more likely at a premium over it.
“5. That hereafter Hie financial
ptliey WtTO'ff .tlntft- he framed per
manently in their interest, that tbev
not be di-crimiaated against in
tutu re legislation as in the pasr, anvl
that their pmsjjcrity, and not the
the mere growth of income to retire
ed c ipitalists, shall be the primary
duty of the Government.”

CANCER CAN BE CURED
Cancer lias from time immemorial been
a great scourge to the human race, and is
now becoming the greater. For many
years it has been held by the medical pro
fession, and generally believed by the peo
ple, that Cancer is incurable ; that once
its roots take hold upon a victim, there is
no chance for a sufferer to escape a lin
gering terrible horrible disease, not only
to the sufferer, but to his friends. Hap
pily, this felljdestroyfer need no longer
be feared Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, f well known physician, of large
experience, has for years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Can
cer, and the result of tils experience is his
discovery for the radical cure of Cancer
withont the use of either knife caustic or
plasters, and without pain.
The majority of persons are greatly de
ceived in regard to the first symptoms and
Appearance of this most dreaded disease,
considering its painful from the commence
ment. This is a sad mistake, carrying
thousands to an untimely grave. In most
cases there is little or no pain until the
disease Is far advanced. The only symp
toms for many months, and even for years
are occasionally a stinging, darting, stab
bing, shooting, smarting, itching, burning
crawling or creeping sensation, and in
some cases not aDy of these. If a malady
is growing worse instead of better, it is
conclusive evidence it is of a malignant
character and demands immediate atten
tion. If you have a branny, scaly, warty
apix-arance, with au occasional breaking
out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended
with any of the above symptoms, or a sen*
satmn of a fly being on it, or a hair tick
ling, it, is certain evidence it is Cancer,
and there should be no delay in using Lr.
Bond’s treatment. Life is too valuable
to be tampered with.
Dr. Bond’s treatment consists of an
“Antidote” that is applied locally ; this
at once arrests the the Cancer
and by chemical action neutralises its maN
ignity, rendering it harmless and chang
ing it to a simple sore, which nature, as
sisted by constitutional remedies, foon
heals when the skin is unliroken, and the
Cancer is a bard tumor, the Antidote doe
not make an open sore, but removes it by
absorption). In connection with the An*
tidote is used the Specific, taken internal-*
ly. This tones up the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blocd
and eliminates the poison from the aye*
tern. Dr. Bond s Antidote contains nek
tLer caustic nor poison, and can be ap
plied to the most delicate tissues of tie
body without injury and therefore is tte
only remedy that can be used in internal
Cancer, such as cancer of the stomach,
cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond s
remedies, with full directions for succias
ful treatment will be sent to any’ part of
the world.
