Orauford vi lie Democrat. 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.

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 oi right, but might. 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.” NO 4. IVAMIIM. rO* SEWS, iNe-ident Hayes has written a let ter to the colored people of Florida telling tVm nm to he hasty in em igrating to Saa Domingo or else where .

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.
