Tha failnre ol the Georgia Railroad to de-
ekue a January dividend, will aanse, we very
much fear, great discomfort to the stockhold
ers; many of whom have invested all they
have in the road, esteeming it a certain pay
ing stock. The road should ismember that
the very reasons that cramp its resources, act
▼i^i double force upon the slim purses of
most of its stockholders. And if, aa we hear j
reported, the road has earned as much money
this year aa usual, we think it has made a
mistake in not declaring a dividend.

At present the negro question is the all ab

The great matter of labor, on which the
prosperity of the country depends, hangs up
on this question. The uneasy status of the
negro; his desite to emigrate; his sbittless
discontent; all these lead to the belief that in
less than two yean the Sonth will have tried
what is probably the greatest of all untried
experiments, viz; as to whether or not the

“I direct my just debts to be paid, and to ena
ble this to be done, as well as for the purpose
of managing and distributing my estate, my
executors or the survivor or ihe one that may
qualify, are authorized to sell, or exchauge or
otherwise dispose of any portion or of all my
estate.” Testator was a cotton factor and ac
cording to tbe testimony ef one witness, one
of the executors obtained money for the use
and benefit of the estate from defendant, and
deposited certain notes belonging to the estate
of no greater value than tho amount advanced
as collateral.
Held, that the notes so pledged, cannot be
recovered by the other executor from the de
tendant who made tbe advance, if tbe jury
credit tbe witness giving such testimony, and
it was for the jury to decide where the testi
mony was for the jury to decide where the
testimony was conflicting.

| the President and Directors’ report to the
| stockholders will be read with unnsual in-
! terest We hare a copy before us, and re-
I gret that want of space forbids an extended
■ criticism. It oomes before tbe public as a
trunk and perfectly truthful statement of tbe
affairs of this immense corporation, and will
challenge the confidence of every unbiassed
party. Difficulties, mibarrassmeut and com
plications are not concealed, and every stock
holder who readn H may be sure tDat he
knows the worst of every thing, whilst noth
ing is glossed over nor anything concealed.
We trust every stockholder will read this re
port with care, and the false impressions that
have been enrrem will vanish as tha dew be
fore the morning sun.
Mr. President Wadley names the receipts in
gross as $2,101,107 89
and the expenses at 1,529,861 91
Leaving $ 571,2-15 98
The operations embrace a period of only
the nine months immediately preceding the
first of September owing to a change made
in the fiscal year iu order to close accounts at
a period of tbe year when business is slack.
The report Bpeaks tersely of intensified com
petition, short crops, financial embarrass
ments, and “bad faith in not maintaining
rales agreed upon,” and adds “from this the
Board can see no immediate hope of relie!.'
The S'extushipg have earned $121,838 10,
and it is proposed to sell two of the old ships’
and with tnis accumulated fund to build
two new vessels of larger carrying capacity
that can be ran at less expense. The doubt-
tnl propriety of owning ships is admitted,
and to prevent any trouble a charter was
obtained granting “to the city of Savannah,
this Company, the Atlantic A Gulf Bailrot d
Company, and all ohartered banks iu tbe
city ol Savannah the rigfil to own stock in the
Steamship Company," which the report adds
“will not only relieve this company from any
question as to the legality of owning steam
ships, but will afford an opportunity of en
larging the sphere of the Steamship Company
so as to enable it to build ships tor a foreign
trade whenever the commerce of the city will
warrant."
This document, us a whole, is a deliberate
and sucoiuct statement, and worthy the con-
fidence of those most deeply interested, viz :
the stockholders.

and friend holds the opposite view. Having
on his ;plsce two or three shiftless villians
(one specially, who refused to cut a load of
wood until he had shared a fruit cake, on
which bis mistress had regaled the white la-
only,) being Also an enthusiast, he is of
coarse, down upon tbe whole race. He con
tends with some acerbity, that Alston “having
found by chance three white blackbirds—
creatures one in ten thousand—now desires to
agae that all blackbirds are white.” These
two disputants have arrayed all of their neigh
bors apon one side or other of the great dis
pate, and the “wild dogs of Kirkwood hav
ing been all slain,” the standing Agitation ot
the day in that chosen suburb is the negro
qnestion. The Anti-negro faotion have gazed
with undisguised enmity apon the irreproach
able virtue of Alston’s negroes, while the other
faction have by varions means attempted to
seduce Howard’s slaves from their abject
worthlessness.

“ I am very much interested, sir, iu the
question of the negro race, and especially as
to the effect emancipation has had upon its
qualities as a steady and re.iable laboring ele
ment. I come to you, sir, as one high in
position and acquainted, by reason of your
office, with the facts in the case, and odo
whose official opinion will carry gteat weight,
to solicit your views upon the subject ”
Governor—I will give them to you, sir,
with pleasure. It is a question I havf», ©f
course, studied quite closely, i do not think
the negro is as effective a laborer as
Colonel Alston, ^plunging carelessly into the
conversation,)—There, I think, you are prob
ably mistaken, Governor, if, “ with a royal
courtesy,” you will Allow me to disagree witL
you. The negro is as good labor as civilized
men can want. And steady ! why that aini
the word for it. Now, there’s my old nurse
has been with me Cl years ; and I have three
negro men on my place that, since 1867
CoL Howard — interrupting—“Yes, there
you come with your three white blackbirds,
again ! Because you’ve seen them white you’ll
swear that all blackbirds are white. And your
nurse. Been with you sixty-one years, has she ?
Yes, and in that time I will bet she has stolen
enough loaf-sugar from yon to macadamize
the road from here to heaven. Why, there
are three worthless rascals on my place”—
Here he was interrupted by Coi, A., and be
tween them the conversation was carried on
briskly for about two hours. The Governor
and Dodge said not a word, but sat listeniug
to what we must confess, though unexpected,
was a very rich and spicy talk.
At length Mr. Dodge rose to ret re.
“1 thank you. Governor,” with a deep and
quiet smile, for having given me so folly, your
views on this subject.”
Governor — also with a deep and quiet
smile—“Not at all, sir; not at all. I shall be
glad to talk with you again, sir.”
ARGUMENT FOB THE NEGROES.
In 18C7 four negroes applied to Coi. Alston
for work. They were in very destitute cir
cumstances. One of them had been very
nearly starved, and in fact had lost one of his
children by starvation.
They had no money or stock, and Coi. A.
made the following arrangement with them :
He famished each of them with lumber to
build nioe houses on the separate parts ot his
farm. They bniit the houses, and were to
have them as long as they wanted; when they
left them of conrae they w©re Col. A’s proper
ty. He bought each of them two mules and
a wagon; a oow. twenty hens, three now.-, two
hundred well assorted fruit trees, and all tho
implements, tools and utensils they needed
for farming. For these things he took their
notes for one, two And three years, for the coat
price of the articles. Tbe notes bore seven
per cent, interest One of tbe negroes failed
utterly, and threw up his place. The others
made money steadily. They paid their notes
promptly, besides the rent quota of the crop,
which, by agreement, was one-third. When
the last notes were due, amounting to about
$300, CoL A., feeling that tbe negroes had
done well, and had improved his farm, tore
up the notes, and made them a present of the
balance.
The negroes have all prospered. They have
good stock, pigs, poultry and one of them
8old$180 wonh of fruit from his orchard
last year. Another has a good carriage for
bis family, for which he paid Mr. E. B. Walk
er $300. All of them have buggies; their
children go regularly to good schools; and
they are living in good style. They neither
of them owe a dollar. They have an average
of 600 bashfls of oornapieoe in their oribs,
and from 250 to 300 bushels of sweet potatoes.
They must have, several hundred dollars each
in money, as their rental cotton (one-third,)
amounted to 15 bales. They never had the
least squabble with their landlord, but on the
contrary, feel the liveliest regard for him.
Tbe neighborhood suits them. They are
trustees in their obnrehes. and are liked and
looked up to by the neighbors. They have
raised their 'anus to snob a pitch of fertility
that cultivation will be easier, and crops bet
ter next year than ever before. Their or
chards are bearing handsomely, and they are
in extremely good finding.
This, then, is the history and the present
status of the “throe white blackbirds.”
Judge of Col. Alston’s amazement the
other day, when they me: him us he was get
ting into his carriage, aud informed him that
they had made np their minds
TO oo TO MX881I0IRPI ON THE YO»l OF NEXT
JANUARY.
They stated that they had found out that land
much better than they were workiug. could be
had at five oente an ftcre. That one man could
make as much in one year out there as in
three years in Georgia. That negro women
could Uke in washing from the 1st or Septem
ber till the 1st of May. aud lay up $500 a
year at it That there werene.er droughts,
nor overflow*, nor washes, out there. That
negroes run the banka and oharohej, and all
that sort of thing. These and a thousand
other tales equally as foolish, they had listened
to, from negro immigration agents, with a
credulous and willing ear.
In vain did Colonel Alston attempt to un
deceive them. While they bed implicit con
fidence in him In everything else, they wonld
not believe a word he had to say in detraction
of nhoir new-found Utopia. He finally became
indignant, and went and reported their deter
mination to Colonel Howara, who we regret to
raj rtjoioed over their defection.

in some matter that may be relevant, it is not
error for the Court to permit the other to

1. If a witness knowingly and wilfully
swears falsely in a material matter,
his testimony should be rejected entirely, un
less it be corroborated by the facts and cir
cumstances of the case, or other credible evi
dences; and it is not a correct rule for tbe
Court to charge the jury, that credit may be
given to such a witness, without also charg
ing the necessity for su 3h corroboration.
2. It a defendaut on tiiul for using obscene
language to a female, requests the Court to
charge, that the words must be offensive and
an insult to the one to whom they are
spoken to make them criminal, and the words
are of thomHfclves insulting aud obscene, the
burden is on him to show such provocation
for speaking them, as would amount to a
justification, before he is entitled to such
chirge.
3. Where it is competent to prove drunk
enness, a witntss may give the facts on which
he bases his opinion and from those facts
state what that opinion Ls.
4. Upon tbe question of the admissibility of
such testimony in a criminal cise, it is held
by a majorty of this court, that it is cornpe-
xunt for the SLate to preve that a short time
previous to the coiamiss : on of the offence
charged, the accused was intoxicated, provi-
ded such testimony makes it probable that the
iutoxication continued and existed at the time
the alleged criminal act was done.
(Trippo, J. dissents cm tbe last poiut, as
follows:)
5. Whilst it mav not be objectionable in a
criminal case, tor tho witness for the State iu
giving the frets which constitate the cftjuce
charged, to state as part of the res gest*i- ( that
the defendant was inti xicated, it is not com
petent for the prosecutor to prove as an in
dependent fact in tho case, that the accused
was drunk a short while before the commis
sion of the act charged, although it be so
near to that time as to make it probable that
the intoxication continued tto the time when
the offence was alleged to have been committed.
Such evidence would neither excuse the crime,
if offered by the accused, nor is it competent
either to impeach the character or to show a
greater probability of his guilt.
Judgment reversed.

Tbe defendant was indicted for the offense

guilty, and sentenced to be executed. A mo

ruled by tho Court, and tbe defendant exeeps
ted. In looking through the evidence in the
record, we are not satisfied that it makes out
a clear case cf murder under the law. And in*
asmuch as that is a doubtful qnestion from all
the facts and cir umstauces as disclosed bv
the record, we give the defendant the benefit
of the doubt and grant him a new trial, and
the more especially do we do so, iu this case,
because it appears from the reoord that the
presiding Judge before whom the trial was
bad, stated that in sentencing the defendant
for the offense ot murder that he did so reluc-%
tantly.

and tha plaintiff exoepted. Tha jury, under
the charge of the court, found a verdict for
the defendant, as the amount of the $1,650
note. In our judgment the court erred in ad
mitting in evidenctrthe d*derations of Perk-
iua, as to what he heard Godbee say in rela
tion to the $1,650 note. The admissions or
declarations of Parkins were only admissible
as to to his own acts and (conduct after he be-
oame clothed with the riust as exeoutor. What
Godbee told him was merely hearsay evidence,
and should not have been received. The evi-
denoe as set forth in tlio bill of sxceptianH was
also'objectionable on the ground; that It did
not tend to prove the failure of the consider
ation of tbe note. The evidenoe as set forth
in the bill of exceptions is, that Perkins said
to witness that Godbee told him before his
death that he had never received from the de
fendant the amount of tho note given by Sapp
forfthe sum of $1,650. Godbee hold Sipp's
note tor that amount, and if he had never re
ceived the amount ot the note from Sapp the
presumption would De that he Miill owed iL
There is uotbiug in that evidence going to
show a failuie of the consideration of the
note.

WARNER, 0. J.
This was a bill tiled by the complainants
against the defendant, to obtain the possession
ol certain described property mentioned there*
in, on the groui.d that the will of Thomas Tu*
dor, under which the defendants claim the
property, is void—that it was the iuteo<ion of
the testator in giving the property to Tillery,
the devisee and legatee named in his will, to
confer freedom on certain negro slaves in vi-
oLtion of the then existing laws of this State.
The date of the will does not appear, but
must have been executed prior to his death,
which is alleged to have taken place in Janu*
ary, 1864. It appears from complainant’s bill,
that the will ot Tudor was duly admitted to
probate, and that Tillery was duly qualified
as executor. Tbe deiendant demurred to
complainants' bill, on the ground that the
Superior Court had no Jurisdiction to set
and declare void the will of Thomas Tndor of
aside any pari thereof, which demurrer was sus*
tainedby the Court and complainants excepted.
The Act of 1818 amendatory of the Act or
1891, inhibits the recordiog ot so much of any
instrument as relates to the manumitting or
setting free ot ar.y slave or slaves, and that
includes the Court of Ordinary. The will of
Tudor has been admitted to probate in that
Court The counsel for plaintiffs in error
contends, that it is not the object ot the bill
to set aside the probate -of Tudors’ will, but
that must necessarily be done, and more too,
before tbe complainants are entitled to the
lief which they seek so long as the will of Ta~
dor, which has been admitted to probate iu
the Court of Ordinary, stands as his will, the
complainants can take nothing under it, they
therefore ask the Superior Court exercising
chancery jurisdiction, to declare certain olaaso
es of that,will null aud void, aud unless the
latter Court does so declare, aud adjudge, the
complainants cannot have tbe relief which
they seek. The question therefore arises
whethtr the Superior Court, in the exercise of
its chancery powers, has jurisdiction to set
aside will which has been regularly admitted
to probate in the Court of Ordinary, and de^
clare the same, or any part thereof,
null and void. By the Constitution of the
State the Powers of a Coarc of Ordinary and
ot Probate are vested in an Ordinary for each
county. By the 331st section of the new code
it is declared that Courts of Ordinary have
authority to exercise original, exclusive and
general jurisdiction of the following subject
matter: Probate of wills, the granting of let
ters testamentary, of administration, and the
repeal or revocation of the same.
As before stated, the will of tudor
has been duly admitted to probate in
the court of Ordinary, aud Tillery duly quali
fied as the.executor thereof. Iu our judgment
the Superior Court, in the exercise of its
chancery powers, has no jurisdiction to set
aside the will of Tudor thus admitted to pro-
or any clause thereof, but that tbe juris
diction to do that is vested exclusively ia tho
Court of Ordinary. That is the Court to
which the complainant must go to have the
will net aside or any part thereof, and the pro
bate of the same revoked. A demurrer for
waut of jurisdiction of the Court, may be
made at any time.
Let the judgment of the Court below’ be
affirmed.

Toe only question presented by the record
in tfie case for our judgment is, whether tbe
clerk of the Superior Court is entitled to
charge lor bis costs in civil oases more than
$G,00 iu every suit commenced, aud prosecu
ted to judgment, including service for rec rd-
ing petition , prooess, and judgment as
specified in the 369th seotion of tbe New
Code, It is insisted that tbe clerk is entitled
to charge fifteen cents per hundred words tor
recording pruceedigs in civil cases, and that
iucludes the recording of tbe petitions, proc-
esi, and judgment, is definitely fixed and
prescribed by the law, aud that is true, in
regard to the clerk’s feus in every o.se, In
which his fees are definitely fixed and pro-
scribed, bat in other civil cases, in which his
fees ara not defiuitely fix- d, and piescrilied,
he is entitled to charge for recording the
proceedings in such cases, fifteen ocuts per
hundred words. In regulating the clerk's
ices in suits commenced aud prosecuted to
judgment, including his services for record
ing the petiiion, piuuess, aud judgment, the
Legislature doubtless intended to provide a
fur average compensation for services to
be rundered, biking iuto consideration that
some cases would he short, aud some longer
than others. Tha olerk gels his $6,00 in
the short cose., and be is entitled to no more
in the longer ones. When tbe clerk accept
ed tho office, be undertook to perform the
duties of it, and render tha services inci
dent thereto, for tbe tees prescribed by law
for such servioc. Lot the judgment of the
court below be affirmed.
