Mr. Wimpy’s “Explanation.” Of certain correspondence which was copied in to our edition of yesterday from the New York Tribune^ of the 18th, is telegraphed to the same paper, of the 20th, and reads in this wise. The Hon. John A. Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Georgia, representative elect from that State, whose letters relating to the purchase of coun terfeit money were published in Saturday’s Tribune, is now here. He states that the letters were written at the suggestion of several per sons in his town. Counterfeit moncy_ had been circulated to a considerable extent in that, re gion, and while the matter was under discussion, Wogan & Co.’s circular, offering to sell “the queer,” was received by a clergyman. It was then supposed that the persons might be caught, and Col. Wimpy was induced to send the letters now published, in the hope of obtaining some substantial evidence. Gov. Bollock and other Georgia gentlemen here, say they have no doubt that such are the real facts regarding Mr. Wimpy’s connection with the New York swin dlers. It was certainly very kind and patriotic in “the Hon. John A. Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Georgia, Representative-elect from that State,” to undertake the work of a United States detect ive, not only without commission, per-diem, mileage, or any other traveling expenses, but even to pay out bis own money by the hundred dollars, as he said ho did, to the Atlanta ex pressmen, for a-box of counterfeit money, and found, “ to my astonishment, sirs,” that he had got nothing for his cool hundred but a wad of old newspapers and a piece of ore! All this the “Hon. John A Wimpy, of Dah lonega, Georgia, Representative-elect from that State,” says ho did “ in tho hope of obtaining some substantial evidence” against tho New York swindlers; and tho Tribune says tele graphically that “ Gov. Bullock and other Georgia gentlemen here, *’ (Blodgett and Swayzo perhaps) have no donbt these are tho real facts in tho case! Why did not Wimpy deny tho hand writing and call for proof ? Why not take old Toney Weller’s suggestion and prove an “ alla- bey ?” • Why not, in short, set tip any other plea than this? And that, too, after all his protestations to .Wogan & Co., that ho was one of the “true bine”—had the “wring of the right-metal”— ‘hneant -business”—intended a “big thing”— and so on. “Sirs,” says tho “Hon. John A Wimpey, -of> Dahlonega, Representative elect from that State,” to Wogan & Co., “I will not blow on yorf’—“you may have the utmost con fidence in mo,-for I will not betray yon”—and who could distrust such assurances as these from “the Honz-John A. Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Georgia,- Representative elect from that State ?” And more especially when the Hon. John A. Wimpy seis up the .very fact that he is a Repre sentative to Congress as the reason why he must do “a big riling;” ;;in the way or circulating counterfeit money. “I was,” says he, “elected to the Forty-second Congress, last April was a year ago—so l want to- try and circulate some of your counterfeit money.” He was in need of funds to make a creditable appearance in Wash ington, where people cannot always satisfactori ly account -for funds -in-hand. Money was scarce • in the Sixth District. “The people,” says he, “are ignorant, and.without a currency. I know I can circulate a targe quantity” of your -counterfeits. “I am a lawyer here in good standing.” .1 have a.vast deal of influence with the people.” All the conditions, in fact,.were as favorable as the Hon. John A. Wimpy’s necessities were pressing, and warranted his confidence that he “could make a big thing” out of the enterprise Is point of fact, had not the firms of “Noyes & Co., 96 Wall street,” and “Wogan and Co., 73 Nassau street,” turned to be mere myths— decoy-ducks—bogus firms under which to carry on tricks to get money from the weak -and the wicked,-who were willing to pay out a-little money tpnbny the facilities of extensive frauds; we say, if 6uch firms really existed and .sold counterfeit money as described, it seems to ns very certain that “the Hon. John A. Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Gs., Representative-elect from that State,” instead.of losing what ho had paid for counterfeits, would have made a big thing of the business of eircnlating them, mnch to the grief of his “ignorant” constituency, who were “without a currency,” but would have found themselves fully supplied with that article, such as it was, by their indefatigable representative in Congress. And, finally, did it never occur to the “ Hon. John A Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Georgia, Repre sentative-elect from that State, and to Gov. Bullock and Mr. Wimpy’s other underwriters, that people who are playing detectives, whether at their own expense or that of too government, don’t -usually approach their qaaries in their own names and much less with rfessences! Bat tho Hon. John A Wimpy refers Wogan & Co. to two creditable firms in New York in order to satisfy Wogan fc Co. that he is the veritable Wimpy, “Representative-elect from Georgia,” who wants the counterfeit money. This is as much as to say: Call on these firms, Messrs. Wogan & Co. They have my hand-writing. Compare, and seo for yourselves that this is the same. That I am in dead earnest—want the money; and, so far from your running any risk in sending it, I put myself in advanco in yonr hands. To sum it all up, we think that neither “the Hon. John A Wimpy, of Dahlonega, Georgia, Representative-elect from that State,” or any of his backers, can escape this unlucky collapse by any such story as they have telegraphed to the Tribune. It will not do, even for marines. By Ins own testimony he was in correspondence not only with one, but two firms for tho purpose of “making a big thing” in tho way of circulating counterfeit money. If he failed, it was not for tho want of trying. Georgia Matters. The noon dispatches yesterday say that Gov. Bullock will convene the Georgia Leeislaturo on Monday, tho lOtlx January next. Doubts are expressed whether there will be a quorum, which doubts mnst be founded on the idea that the Democratic members will not respect the proclamation. The bill in the Senate to repeal “so mnch of the statutes as prohibits the State of Georgia from organizing her militia,” is intended to supply the omission of the State Guard pro vision in the bill to promote reconstruction. Cotton Seed as Food fob Cattle.—The Con- stitntionalist has the following: Quito a discus sion is going on about cotton seed as food for cows. Somo persons contend that it detrimen tally affects the milk and butter of cows thus fed. Others contend that this kind of food is admirable. We have some knowledge of the matter. It is this: A great quantity of cotton seed, used in the raw state, will undoubtedly injure the milk and butter of cows. But a small quantity, say two quarts per day, well cooked and mixed with bran, meal, slops, etc., wifi, increase the cow’s yieldand do this without any perceptible bad effects upon the milk or butter.

The gap to complete tha rood to Albany is thir ty-two miles, and we learn tho work is in tho hand* of energetic contractors wjtlj a large foroe at work. " * Experiments with Manures. Let ns turn a moment from reconstruction and the bill to promote Georgia, to the hot less fragrant, but mnch more useful topic of Fertil izers. Col. T. J. Smith, of White Bluff, Wash ington county, Ga., furnishes the Central Geor gian of yesterday with a report of the result of experiments carefully conducted by himself, with twenty-two of the standard fertilizers and combinations of them. As such information iostnow is very timely and valuable, wo con dense the following from tho longer report of the OoloneL The land he selected was uniform in quality and all very poor. Tho preparations for the crop, application of the manures and planting, he describes as follows: In tho preparation I followed the ordinary plan of running off the land with the common shovel plough, running twice in the same row, to tho dopth of six or seven inches, running tho rows three feet nine inches apart, and a space of five feet between each four rows, with tho rows one hundred and forty yards long. In each of these four furrows or rows, I had the different fertilizers distributed at tho rate of twelve dollars per acre, (equal monied value of each brand.) Around these manured rows I had a long scooter plow run on each side, forming a ridge and covering tho mnnnres. Around this I had a turning plow run forming a bed. In these turn plow furrows I run a subsoil plow deep inihe subsoil,breaking tho land thoroughly to tho dopth of seven inches or more, the re maining unbroken ridge I run a double winged turning plow, completing the preparations for planting. On tho sixth day of May I opened the beds and planted the seed with the Dow Law Cotton Planter, a machine I used before and since the war successfully; a planter that I think stands yet at the head of snch machines. The land being dry my cotton did not perfect its stand beforo the sixth of June. The culti vation adopted was the ordinary plan being generally adopted by Georgia planters; sweep ing with the Hancock or Dickson sweep, run ning from one to two inches deep—not on the modern mode of deep cnltnre and lifting the land. The latter plan I am sure generally adopted would control the production so materi ally that the prices of the material would range high. In this light we would bo benefitted as producers, whilst the poor of the land would go unclad and unfed. The Colonel then reports tho result of three different examinations of the progress of tho crop on the 17th of Juno, 15th of July and tho 10th of August, which wo omit, and publish only the productive result of seed cotton acta- ally gathered, premising that where combina tions of manures are reported the weights were equal, and the area of land to which tho fertili zers were applied is not given, but described as less than an acre to each.

SECOND DAY’S PBOCEEDINGS—CO-OPERATION OF THE IS ATT/ROADS. From the Intelligencer. The Coal Convention met at 11 o’clock yes' terday morning. CoL L. P. Grant nailed the meeting to order, and asked for the report of the Committee on Railroads. CoL E. Hulbert, Chairman of that Committee, made the follow ing report: “That fully comprehending the great impor tance of developing our Southern coal fields, and that it can only be accomplished by and with the assistance of the railway companies in fur nishing prompt and ample transportation at low rates, respectfully recommend that the present rate of one and one quarter of one per cent, per ton per mile, be maintained, and that the num ber of coal cars be increased to three hnndred, equitably proportioned among the roads inter ested.” The following resolutions were presented by this committee: •Resolved, That in the opinion of this Conven tion it is both the interest and duty of onr rail ways to use all legitimate means at their com mand, to develop the coal fields of the South. Resolved, That the stock of coal cars should be increased to three hnndred as early as prac- ticable, apportioned as follows: East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad 100 Western and Atlantic Railroad 115 Georgia Railroad. 25 Macon and Western Railroad 25 Atlanta and West Point Railroad 10 Montgomery and West Point Railroad. 25 The committee, on behalf of tho coal compa nies and mining interests, made the following report: The Tennessee mines and those in North Georgia now being worked, ship from 490 to 500 tons doily, about three-fifths of which is sold in Tennessee; the balance, two-fifths, is shipped to' points south of Chattanooga and passes over the Western and Atlantic Railroad. This coal is produced by six different compa nies, which are working upon an aggregate capital of abont $1,590,000. This capital has principally been invested and tho mines opened since tho war, and the quantity of coal shipped has increased more than 500 per cent, in four years. The rapidly increasing demand for coal, and the utter inability of the coal companies to supply it, has made the business exceedingly vexations—and yet not remunerative. The capacity of the Tennessee and North Georgia mines, opened and in good working order, is four times greater than their actual product— that is, about 1000 tons per day—and from a careful estimate of the actual demands npon the different companies in the shape of orders—it is certain that 1000 tons per day could now bo sold. Tho Committee to whom was referred the “demand for coal,” made tho following report through thoir Chairman, Milo Pratt, Esq.: That from all statistics and facts they have been able to obtain, and a careful estimate where facts could not be bad, they find that tho section embracing Nashville, and all points this side as far as Stevenson, and from that point west on the M. & G. R. B., as far as Grand Junction, will require 175,000 tons. Of this amount about 50,000 tons are furnished by the river com munication; the balance, 125,000 tons, by rail, taking Knoxville on the north, thence south and east, including Chattanooga, and as far south as Montgomery, Columbus, Macon and Augus ta, and all intermediate points, it will require fully 150,000 tons. These figures have been ar rived at by absolute sales and orders received from principal points mentionod, and a careful estimate of infovmodiato potato, and it Is confi dently believed that the amount above named is under the real year’s demand. Yonr Com mittee will add, that to move this amount of coal named, will require 34,375 cars, of 8 tons each. That allowing a car 7£ days to deliver each car load, and counting three hundred working days per annum, it will require 859 cars to perform this service. Taking tho amount consumed, from Knoxville south, in cluding Chattanooga, and npon the above basis it will require 468 care. Tho present amount of coal that is moved sonth per day below Dal ton does not average pver 17 care per day; to fill the present demand it would require 52 per day. The coal demand next year will probably bo twice as large as this year. The committee are folly satisfied that there is an existing and actunl demand for twice tho amount of coal shipped; that there is a demand for 1000 tons per day, and that this demand would continue through six months of the year. The demand at points south of Chattanooga is less than one-half the whole amount, say from 300 to 400 tons per day; while the actual ship ments to points south of Chattanooga do not exceed I0O tuns per day. The difference be tween the actnal shipments, and the demand is 500 ton per day, and the failure to supply the demand is alone attributable to the want of transportation. To the Railroads, if they could furnish the transportation for this coal demand, and not shipped, at an average of 8 cents per bushoL tho income would be $50,000. The committee beg leave further to report that there is a contingent demand for coni not taken into the above estimate, which would cease to be contingent and becomo certain as soon as the supply was assured, which would swell tho demand greatly beyond the above fig ures. This contingent demand comes from that class of persons who inhabit all the cities and towns of Georgia and Tennessee along the lines of railway, who have pat in grates, or seen their neighbors do it, to he taken ont upon the first or second cold spell, when the promised] coal did not come. And it embraces another class not so numerous, but whose demands are more mighty, so far as the commerce and pub- lioweal are concerned, to-wit: those who have suspended or failed to commence manufacturing operations for the want of a uniform and certain supply of cheap coal. The committee would further report that tho coal fields of Tennessee, and immediately on the different lines of rail way are inexhaustible; they, have now been thoroughly opened, and the quality of the coal' folly tested for all purposes, so that the quantity and quality are no longer matters of doubt or speculation. The coal is well adapted to all the uses to which the ingenuity of man has applied it, either in England or America, and judging by the light of tho past, as well in the old world as the new, these immense coal fields now being developed will soon totally change the business of the country. All over these beds of coal will be miners towns, in tho valleys below these coal fields will be large iron mills, and all along the line of railway, extending out Sonth, and in daily com munication with the coal fields, the world’s great staple in its raw state, will be manufac tured. All history will be an untruth, and it will be an exception withont an examplo if this unbedded wealth does not, in its own vicinity, develope in mechanism, all that man is capable of doing. It will drive your locomotives with its licking flames, and load their trains with its precious diamonds. It will propel your steamers and ballast yonr ships. It will spin yonr yams and weave yonr prints. It will soften yonr iron for tho blacksmith and harden yonr steel for the machinist. It will melt yonr limestone and smelt yonr copper. It will give to tho me chanic his tools and the farmer his implements of husbandry. It'will cook yonr dinners and warm yonr children. It will give yon a cheerful firo and a happy home. _ £_ All history will bo a falsehood if this imbed ded wealth does not make this a great manufac turing country, with a vast population of thriv ing and prosperous mechanics, artisans and farmers, from whose varied pursuits the wealth of toil is tho only wealth to4 ingenuity of man has been able to preserve and transmit to a second generation. Wo ask not the Railroads to take care of us, and our especial interests, but we ask them to unite with us in developing in onr own day that wealth which a short-sighted policy on our part will leave for future genera tions. The above figures abont tho supply of coal have been made without any direct reference to tho developments in iron which undoubtedly will soon bo the greatest source of demand, os the country adjacent these coal fields taken into account, tho variety of ores in iron is perhaps not surpassed by any portion of the United States. The following preamblo and resolutions wore adopted by the Convention: Whereas, Tho facilities afforded by the Western & Atlantic Railroad, in the way of transportation of coal and iron are in excess of its pro rata; and whereas, this road has been the pioneer, and has taken the lead in reducing the rates on coal and iron to. a point whioh has tended very materially to increase the con sumption of these products; be it therefore Resolved, That the hearty thanks of the mi ners and dealers, assembled in this convention, are duo and are hereby tendered to Col.E. Hal bert, Superintendent of the Western and At lantic Railroad, for tho very cordial, earnest and efficient manner in which he has labored to develop tho coal and iron interest of Georgia and Tennessee. A committee of five was appointed to confer with the agent of tho English steamship line, as to the shipment of coal to Brunswick, Ga. After which the Convention adjourned. Georgia AllUirs. State Dental Association.—The Savannah News learns that the State Dental Association of Georgia will hold its annnal meeting in that city on the 28th instant. This is the first meet ing of the Association which has been held since the war. It is expected that there will bo a general attendance of the members of the Asso ciation from all portions of the State. The Atlantic and Gulp Raxlboad.—We paid a visit to the depot of this road yesterday, and were somewhat surprised at the immense amount of freight which is now passing over the road. We noticed large consignments of goods for sixty-five different points in Georgia, Florida and Alabama. From onr observations, we are satisfied that tho business of the road is rapidly increasing, and we think it is fair to presume that in the course of two or three years the company will be able to pay fair dividends on the amount of the capital invested. [Savannah Republican 22d. Upon tho passage of the bill “promoting” Georgia, the Nows says: We consider the greatest danger passed, and it now behooves onr people to consider how best to meet and bear np under the wrongs to which wo are subjected. We would counsel modera tion, firmness, patience and forbearance—abovo all, union and concert amongst ourselves. What effect the rcseatiDg of the negroes, and the en forcement of the test oath will have npon the Legislature—whether it will give entire control of that body to Bollock and his plundering clique, we have no means at present of judging. Should it not we may yet proteotthe State from spoliation. The Republican has the following npon the same subject: The first idea that occurs in the contemplation of this extraordinary condition of affairs is that the people of Georgia have no lot or part in the matter. It is simply the work of a powerful and overruling central despotism, backed irt all its demands by the bayonets of Federal soldiery. We are in no sense responsible for what this Legislature shall do or say. They are purely the creatures of Congress, the sympathizers with its purposes and the exponents of its will. Let them do what they may, the people of Georgia will recognize no responsibilityas rest ing on them for the acts of such a body. The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel counsels as follows: But above all things we should impress upon our friends the necessity of keeping cool and self-possessed under this trying emergency. Nothing can be accomplished by encouraging or giving way to excitement or bitter invectives. Let us nurse our wrath for a more suitable oc casion. The time will come when Georgia will be avenged upon her enemies, hut it is not now. The Constitutionalist gives the matter only tho following paragraph: Our readers may be disgusted but they will hardly be surprised at the telegraphie announce ment that the House of Representatives has concurred in the Senate Bill for the re-recon- strnctionof Georgia. The Radicals in and ont of this State may find that their difficulties have just begun. Meanwhile, we can safely promise them that everything they force npon ns will be undone at the very first practicable opportunity. We dip the following from the Columbus Sun and Times: Change of Route.—An attempt is now being made by influential parties to divert the Savan nah and Memphis Railroad to Eufaula, and thence to be continued and connect with the road which will soon be completed to Chatta hoochee. The proposed scheme, it is said, has sen favorably received by the officers. The Sandereville Central Georgian of the 22d contains the following local items: The remains of CoL R. W. Flournoy were re moved from the old homestead on Monday last and buried in the Sandereville cemetery. ' Mr. Joseph W. Scott, for many years a citizen of Washington county, died, after a few hours’ illness, of congestive chill, on Friday lash Mr. John A. Martin, of this county, slaugh tered a thirty month hog, a few days ago, weighing 437 pounds net, Who says we should not have a fair? The Confedebate Cemetery at Marietta, Ga.—I have now closed my work here for the year, having exhausted the appropriations of $2,000 made by the State, and $2,000 more gained by onr concerts last winter. With this amount I removed from the battlefields of North Georgia, daring the past summer, 1,127 bodies, besides having a great deal of work done in the way of improving the various sections by walks and drives, making stone gutters and turfing the graves, etc. It now remains for the people of Georgia to say whether this work shall be continued until the last soldier who gavohislife for duty’s sake, and nowlies scattered over the field of com and wheat, and by lonely roadsides, shall receive what his country owes him—a burial in conse crated ground. Respectfully, Mary J. Green, Trustee Georgia Memorial Association. Thiers was asked if. he should speak mnch next session ; he said, “Not at all." “Not at all ? and why ?” “Because you should never make a noise in the Chamber of a sick man.” Incisions or the Supreme Court ol the State of Georgia. Delivered at Atlanta, Tuesday, December 31. (Reported expressly for the. Constitution, Jjy N. J. Hammond, Supreme Court Reporter.) John Atwell, exeentor, plaintiff in error, vs. AnnE. Holliman, defendant in error. From Quitman. Motion on assignment of dower. Bsown, O. J.—The executor sold the lands of the testator subject to the widow’s right of dower. The widow and another person became the purchasers at the sale,but had not complied with the terms of the sale, and no title had been made by die exeentor. Held: That the execu tor bad such interest in the land as entitled him to traverse the return of the Commissioners, -under section 3974 of the Code. Judgment reversed. A. Hood, B. S. Worrill for plaintiff in erroa. H. Fielder for defendant. Addison B. Brown, plaintiff in error, vs. Wil liam Sims, defendant in error. From Stewart —Relief. Brown, C. J.—A plea which simply alleges that the defendant lost property during the war, withont connecting the plaintiff with the loss, is not sufficient, if sustained by proof, to au thorize the jury to reduce the amount of debt, no matter whether it was contracted before qr since the first of June, 1865; and it was not error in the Court to sustain a demurrer to the .plea and order it to be stricken. ■Judgment affirmed. E. H. Beall and J. L. Wimberly, for plaintiff ■in error. M. Gillis, by the Reporter, for defendant. M. S. Grubbs, administratrix, plaintiff in error, vs. D. G. McGlaun, defendant in error. From Webster—Motion to dissolve injunction. Brown, C. J.—1. As the equity of this will is not sworn off by the answer, this court will not reverse the dicision of the Chancellor in refus ing to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the bilL 2. A purchase by an administrator, at her own sale, is voidable, and may be set aside at the instance of heirs, legatees or creditors,when necessary to the security of the claims of the latter, if proper proceedings are instituted for that purpose within a reasonable time. Judgment affirmed. C. B. Wootten, J. L. Wimberly, by the re porter, for plaintiff in error. S. H. & W. A. Hawkins, for defendant. Samuel A McNett, administrator, plaintiff in error, vs. Cyrns B. Harkie, et al., defendants in error. From Randolph—Distress for Rent. Brown, C. J.—1. When property was levied upon by a distress warrant for rent, and the de fendant filed his affidavit under seelion 4012 of the Code, and gave security for the eventual condemnation money, and the property was re plevied by him, and npon the trial the jury found for the plaintiff, it was his right to sign up judgment on that verdict against the defend ant and his seenrities for the amount of the ver dict as “eventualcondemnation money,” audit was error in the Court to set aside the execution issued upon such judgment 2. In such case it is the duty of the levying officer to return the bond with security to the Superior Court where the issue is to be “tried by jury as provided for the trial of claims,” and the Court should cause the same oath to be ad ministered to the jnry as in claim cases. Judgment reversed. W. D. Kidoo, by A. Hood, for plaintiff in error. E. L. Douglas for defendant. James Gardner and Dillard Spradly, plaintiffs in error, vs. Alfred Kersy, et al., defendant in error. Motion for injunction from Lee. Bfown, C. J.—1. This Court will not control the discretion of the Chancellor in refusing to grant an injnnction, to stay the execution of a writ of possession, after a recovery in eject ment: upon the allegation that the plaintiff npon whose demise the recovery was had, was dead at tho rendition of the judgment, when there wore fonr demises from as many different lessors, and the defendant' in the bill answers that he does not know whether the recovery was npon the demise of the deceased plaintiff or not, and the judge who tried the case certi fies that he cannot undertake to say npon what demise the recovery was had; and no copy of the record is brought beforo this Court to ena ble it to determine the fact. 2. The verdict and the judgment of the Court, is to be upheld by every reasonable intendment, and the allegation in the bill filed as above stated, of a fact which is matter of record, should bo judged by the rocord, and if it is not shown by the record to be true, it is not error in the Chan cellor on a motion for an injnnction to disre gard it. 3. A plaintiff in Ejectment, who has judg ment in his favor, is entitled to be placed in possession of tho premises, including the grow ing crop if any, as against the defendant and those holding nnder him; provided, he has not recovered as mesne profits the rent for that year. 4. A plaintiff in Ejectment who has recov ered rents as mesne profits for the year in which the recovery is had, is not entitled to the crop of that year; While he is entitled to the possession of the premises, he is bound to al low the tenant ingress and egress, to gather and carry away the crop. If he has recovered rent for part of tho year, and the crop is grow ing, but not gathered at the date of the recov ery, the tenant is entitled to his pro rata part of tho crop. But if no rent is recovered for the year the growing crop goes with the land. 5. If the plaintiff, who has recovered the rent for the year, takes possession of the premises, and appropriates the crop, or refuses to permit the tenant to gather it, tho tennnt has a right at law to recover the value of the crop. And as the complainant in this bill had a foil and complete remedy at law, the Court did not err in refusing to grant the Injunction. Judgment affirmed. F. H. West, Vason & Davis, for plaintiffs in error. Hawkins & Burke, for defendants. John Bonner, plaintiff in error, vs. J. B. Martin, administrator, defendant in error. From Carroll. Motion to open judgment. Brown, C. J. A. obtained judgment Against B. in October, 1867, npon a note given daring the war for “borrowed Confederate money.” B. after the passage of the act known as the Re lief Law> filed his application to open tho judg ment, npon the ground, among others, that in 1863 he tendered to A tho foil amount of prin cipal and interest due on tho noto, adding thereto a Barn sufficient to make np the depre ciation of said currency, and that the non-pay ment of tho debt was owing to the refusal of plaintiff to receive the money so tendered. That in May, 1866, he tendered to the plaintiff the fall value of said debt, according to the usual rule in scaling, in United States currency, which was refused, and that the non-payment of said debt at that time was owing to said re fusal. Held: That this created in equity in favor of B., which, by the strict rales of law in relation to tender, in existence at tho time the judgment was rendered, he was not able to set np as a defence, and that tho act of the Legis lature, providing for the opening of the judg ment, to let in this equitable defense, is Con- stitntionaL Judgment reversed. McCay, J., concurred, but gave no written reasons. Wabneb, J.—dissenting.—The second section of the Relief Act of 18G8, which authorizes the opening and sealing judgments rendered prior to tho 1st of June, 18G5, upon any of the grounds specified in that act, is, in my my judg ment, not only in violation of the 10th section of 1st article of the Constitution of the United States, but in violation of the express provisions of the Constitution of 18G8 of this State. (This case was argU6d at last term, and held np by the Court. Austin & Reese, by L. J. Glenn, for defend ant in error. ' Merrills, for defendant. Trowbridge, Dwight & Co., and Hines & Hobbs, vs. Annio E. Rawson, Administratrix of Charles W. Rawson. Motion to punish for con tempt. From Dougherty. McCay, J.—1. When tho courts of this State and the courts of tho United States have con current jurisdiction over tho subject matters and parties to a controversy, that tribunal which first actually takes the jurisdiction will retain it. 2. If a suit bo brought in a State court, and that court, in the exercise of its proper powers, enjoins ono of toe parties to toe suit before it from reducing his demand to a judgment, until certain assets shall be marshaled, and certain questions of priority in toe distribution of those assets be settled, it is a violation of the injunc tion for toe party enjoined to attempt to escape the effects of toe injunction by commencing proceedings to get a judgment in the Cironit Court. Courts of toe United States and toe State laws may panlsh any one of toe enjoined parties, or their agents, who thus act, for con tempt of its process. 3. A State court cannot order a suit brought in a United States court to be dismissed, or pro ceedings in it to be stayed; bat it may punish its own suitors for disobeying its process of in- junction by bringing such suit in contempt of said prooess. Brown, C. J., concurred.—Laying down the following rales, which are in his- opinion ap plicable to the case. . 1. The State courts are exempt from all in terference by toe Federal tribunals, and toe Federal courts are exempt from all interference by the State tribunals, and each is destitute of ail power to restrain either toe process or pro ceedings in the other. Circuit courts of toe United States, and State courts, act separately and independently of each other; and in their respective spheres of action, toe prooess issued by the one, is as far beyond toe reach of toe other, as if toe line of division between them “was traced by landmarks and monuments visi ble to toe eye.” Appellate relations exist in a class of cases between the State courts and toe Supreme Court of the United States; bnt there are no such relations between toe State courts and the Circuit courts. 2. The Circuit Court of toeUnited States and the State courts, in certain controversies be tween citizens of different States, are courts of concurrent and co-ordinate jurisdiction, and toe general rule is, that as between courts of concurrent jurisdiction toe court that first ob tains possession of the controversy, or of the property in dispute, mnst be allowed to dispose of it, withont interference or interruption from too co-ordinate, court. Such questions usually arise in respect to property attached on mesne process, or property seized npon execution; and the general rale is, that where there are two or moro tribunals competent to issne pro cess to bind toe goods of a party, the goods shall be considered as effectually bound by tho anth rity of tti- process under which they were first attached or seized. 20 How. 583. 24 How. 454, 3 Wallace, 334, G Wallacs, 195-G. 3. In this case, the^plaintiffs in error having gone voluntarily into the State Court, and an injnnction having issued against them by that Court, restraining farther action till the assets of the estate conld be marshaled, it was a con tempt of the authority of the State Court,, in to whi<ch too parties had violently come, and which had obtained possession of the controversy, for the plaintifis to commence proceedings in toe United States Court npon the same matter of controversy, till toe dissolution of toe injunction in toe State Court; and the State Court had toe power to maintain its dignity, and enforce its authority by punishing the attorneys of the complainants for violating its injunction by bringing a suit in the United States Court, or otherwise disobeying its process, till it had final ly disposed of toe matter in dispute. 4. But toe State Court cannot order the case dismissed in the Circuit Court. It can only punish those subject to its orders, who disobey its injnnction; and it mnst leave toe other par ty to toe litigation, to move in toe Circuit Court to stay proceedings in the action there brought in violation of toe injunction of the State Court till the final disposition of toe case in that court. 10 Howard 71. Warner, J., Concurring.—It appears from the record that Trowbridge, Dwight & Co. aro citizens of New York, and that they have insti tuted a suit in toe Fifth Circuit Court of the United States against Annie E. Rawson, admin istratrix of C. W. Rawson, deceased, a citizen of this State, to foreclose a mortgage. The Court below passed an order “requiring Hines & Hobbs, Attorneys at Law for Trowbridge, Dwight & Co., to dismiss the said snit, or pro viding in the said Fifth Circuit Court of the United States for the foreclosure of said mort gage, and in default thereof, that they be con sidered in contempt of this Court.” Whilst I do not question the power and authority of the Court below to pnnish the defendants for a vio lation of its process of injunction, (if indeed it has been violated by them,) but. I do deny the power of the State Court to order and require Hines & Hobbs, the Attorneys at Law, of Messrs. Trowbridge, Dwight & Co., to dismiss their suit pending in toe Fifth Circuit Court of toe United States; or in default thereof to be considered in contempt. If toe State Conrt has too power and authority to compel the attorneys of the non resident creditor to dismiss his snit pending in toe Circnit Conrt of the United States, it has toe power and authority for all practical purposes to repeal and render nugatory that provision of the Federal Constitution and the acts of Con- which secure to toe non-resident creditor tho right to sue a citizen of Georgia in the Circnit Court of the United States. The Constitution of toe United States, and the laws of toe United States, enacted in pureuance thereof, is the su preme law of the land, and no department of the State government has the power, either di* rectly or indirectly, to violate or defeat that su preme law of toe land. In my judgment, the conrt below had no legal power or authority to order the Attorneys of Trowbridge, Dwight & Co., to dismiss their snit pending in the Circuit Conrt of toe United States against a citizen of this State in accordance with the Constitution and laws thereof, to say nothing of toe impro priety of interfering with the jurisdiction and business of that Court by an order of the State Court for that purpose. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the judgment of toe court below should be reversed. Yason & Davis, Hines & Hobbs, Lochrane & Clark for plaintiff in 'error. Wright & Warren for defendants. Michael Gormeley vs. John L. Larramore. Motion to set aside verdict. From Randolph. McCay, J.—A motion to set aside a verdict on toe ground that one of toe jnrors was not upon toe list required by law to be filed by tho com missioners, to revise toe jnry box, is an objec tion propter defectum, and arises too late after the verdict, though tho movant did not know the fact alleged, until after the verdict. ^ Judgment affirmed. E. L. Douglass for plaintiffs in error. A. Hood for defendant in error. James R. Dawson vs. R. J. F. Grist. Motion to set aside judgment. From Randolph. McCay, j.—Tho Superior Courts of this State have no jurisdiction to set asido and vacate a judgment of a Superior Conrt in this State in 1866, on toe ground that it is founded on a debt, the consideration of which was slaves or the heir thereof. Whilst toe conrt and officers, as now organized may not have jurisdiction to va cate and annnl it Judgment reversed. John T. Clark for plaintiff in error. Hood & Kiddoo, Fielder for defendant John Neal, et al, vs. George Patton. Motion for new trial—From MitchelL McCay, J.—1. Sales by administrators and executors, when it is not otherwise provided by will, of any property of toe estate except annual crops carried to market, must be at public outcry to the highest bidder, and'a pur chaser is bound to see that the administrator or exeentor is apparently proceeding nnder the prescribed forms. 2. To constitute a legal private sale by an executor or administrator, of annnal crops, they mnst be actually carried to market and sold, they can not be sold on the plantation. 3. A mere direction in a will that the execu tor, as soon as practicable, pay toe debts, does not of itself authorize toe executor to sell, much less to sell at private sale, too effects of toe estate coming into his hands. 4. A witness may state that one acted as agent, bnt this does not show his power to act, nor the extent of toe authority, nor can a wit ness prove an agency by Btating that he has seen toe writing containing the appointment The paper mnst be produced, or if properly ac counted for, its execution and contents most be proven. 5. Where there is prooT that an appointment of an agent id in writing, and toe question is as to the extent of the power, the paper must be produced or accounted for, and toe agenoy is not proven by showing complaints, by the prin cipal of toe agent, and by his employing conn- sel to get toe effects ont of the agent’s hands. 7. If there be statements in an answer in equity, not responsive to the bill, and toe conrt charge toe jury that the defendants answer in response to the bill, is evidence, itis error in the conrt if it fail to charge that matter notin reply to the charges, is not evidence. The court ought either by specific mention of the points not re sponsive, or by general instructions, according to toe nature of the case, point ont to the jnry the application of toe rale to the billandanswer to the court. 7. Where a hill charged that the defendant had bought tho property of an estate from ono who was neither ex'ecutornor administrator, and the answer admitted toe purchase, bnt set np that toe person selling was the agentofthe exe cutor, and in proof annexed what purported to be a copy of a power of attorney from toe exe cutor, the answer sotting up toe ngency is not evidence, and the power of attorney must bo proven, in too manner prescribed in other cases. Judgment reversed. •Vason & Davis, Lyon, De Graffenreid and Irvin, for plaintiffs iq error. J. L. Seward, Henry Morgan, A. P. Wright, for defendant. Heinesken and Palmer, vs. Allen Barbry. At tachment from Randolph. McCay, J.—Where an action was brought for damages against Commission Merchants, on the ground that in violation of their oontract to hold certain cotton until toe first of March, they had, to the great loss of the plaintiff, sold it on the first of the previons January, a state ment by the plaintiff to defendant’s agent, made after the sale took place, and the contro versy had arisen that he would have been satis fied had the cotton brought a certain sum, (which was less than that claimed,) is not evi dence. Itis at best but an offer of compro mise, not acted npon by the parties. Where the defendant in an attachment, claimed nine hundred and eighty dollars and eighty-eight cents, and the bond and declara tion followed the attachment, as to toe amonntr and the proof is such as to justify a verdict fo, that amount. Held: That a verdict of a jnry for the plaintiff for $980 88, will be taken, (nothing otherwise appearing) to be a verdict for nine hnndred and eighty dollars and eighty- eight cents, the amount sworn to and claimed by toe plaintiff. Judgment affirmed. E. L. Douglass, J. H.'Taylor, by B. Lyon for plaintiffs in error. A Hood, for defendant. Stephen King vs. toe State of Georgia. Big amy. Webster. MoCay, J.—1. An indictment for bigamy mnst allege that toe first marriage was lawful, or set forth snch facts as will amount to such an allegation. 2. The net. of March 7,1866, Code 1865, con firms, for all civil purposes, toe marriage of persons of color, living together as man and wife at toe date of toe act, and if after said act, such persons continne to live together as man and wife, it will be bigamy for one of them to marry a third person, knowing that the wife or the husband tons made by said act a lawful wife or husband is Btill living, and is still the lawful wife or husband. Judgment reversed. Hawkins & Burke, T. L. Clarke for plaintiff in error. S. W. Parker, Solicitor General, T. H. Pritch ett, by A Hood, for the State. Chas. Lynch, et. al,, vs. Brazil Pace. Home stead. From Randolph. Waener, J.—Where an application was‘made to toe Ordinary of Randolph* county, for tho benefit of a homestead, as provided in the act of 1868; and there was a demurrer to toe ap plication, on the ground that the applicant did not allego therein that he was “the head of a Jamily, or guardian, or trustee of a family of minor children,” which demurrer was overruled. Held: That the court below erred in overruling too demurrer to the application of the parly claiming too benefit of the homstead, as too same did not affirmatively show that he was en titled to a homestead under* the provisions of toe act. Held also: That where an appeal is taken from toe judgment of toe Ordinary in allowing or refusing a homestead, as provided by toe act of 18C8, toe whole case is brought up by too appeal; and either party may, in toe Appellate Court, raise any objections, or make any other motion in relation thereto, author ized by law, as in other appeal cases from toe Court of Ordinary. Judgment reversed. Hood & Kiddoo, U. L. Douglass for plaintiff in error. L. S. Chastain, Y. H. Fielder for defendant. Alexander Shaw vs. The State. Simple Lar ceny, from Randolph. Warner, J. — When two defendants were jointly indicted for the offense of simple larceny, and both charged in the indictment as the ac tors, or absolute perpetrators of toe offense, and npon toe trial of one of the defendants for said offense, toe jury returned a verdict finding him guilty of simple larceny in the second degree.— Held: That such finding of the jurywas error nnder the provisions of toe Code, and that toe Court below erred in not setting the verdict aside and granting a new tried. Held, also, that the Conrt below erred in not allowing toe wit ness Sheridan to relate all too facts to the jnry as to how Paldo came by the money which was paid to toe livery stable man for toe hire of toe wagon and mules. Judment reversed. E. L. Douglrss, E. R. Harden, D. A Walker for plaintiff in error. S. W. Parker Solicitor General, by Hood for the State. Wm. McAffee vs. L. Mulkey. Motion for new trial—From Lee. Warner, J.—When a snit was instituted to recover damages for a warranty of toe sound ness of a slave sold by too defendant to the plaintiff, on the 27th of December, 1862, the consideration of which sale was a house and lot in toe town of Fort Valley. Held: That toe Court had jurisdiction to hear and determine such cause of actipn upon the state of facts con tained in the record. Held, also: That it was not error for tho Court below to allow the plain tiff’s declaration to be amended so as to charge the defendant with a knowledge of tha unsound ness of tho slave at the time of the Side. Held, further: That when tho evidence was conflict ing as to the soundness of the slave at toe time of the sale, and there was evidence **> sustain the verdict, this Conrt will not, according to its repeated rulings, control the discretion of the Court below in refusing to grant a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to toe evidence. Judgment affirmed. Vason & Davis, for plaintiff in error. W. A Hawkins, G. W. Warwick, for defen dant. Wm. Sirrine vs. Ropert Griffin. Motion to set aside judgment. From Webster" Warner, J.—When, on a motion made in toe Court below to vacato and set aside : he entry of satisfaction made by toe Sheriff on a fl. fa., and npon the trial of an issne formed thereon, it ap peared that the payment was made by the de fendant in fi. fa. to toe Sheriff on the 27th of April, 18G5, in Confederate treasury notes. Held: That the payment having been made af ter tho failure of the Confederate Government, the Confederate Treasury notes failed with it, and that the payment of "the fi. fa. in that cur rency was not a good and valid payment at toe time snch payment was made. Judgment reversed. N. A. Smith for plaintiff in error. W. A. Hawkins for defendant. fonad toH P. 0. Parkerson vs. W. E. Sessions. Dis tribution of money. From Randolph. Warner, J.—When there , were several judg ment creditors holding executions against the some defendant, and Sessions, the oldest judg ment creditor, levied his execution upon toe land of the defendant, which was sold at Sher iff’s sale for $3,010 00, which amount was not more than sufficient to pay off Sessions' fi. fa., who at the sale became the purchaser of toe land. After the sale the Sheriff was notified to hold np too money by the attorneys for the junior creditors. At the next term of the court a motion was made calling on toe Sheriff to show cause why he should not credit toe amonnt of toe sale of too land on Sessions’ fi. fa. This motion was resisted by toe attorney for toe jun ior judgment creditors, on the ground that Ses sions had promised Hendry, toe defendant in fi. fa., that if he would not move to have the j udg- ment opened nnder the relief law, nor attempt to have a homestead laid off on toe land, bnt allow the land to be sold nnder his judgment, and if he should become the purchaser thereof at the sheriff’s sale, he would carry to toe family of toe defendant a certain described portion of toe land, bnt if be should not become purchaser of toe land, he would pay too debt, fifteen hnn dred dollars, of toe proceeds arising from' the sale of the land. There is no dispute as to the fairness of the sale, or that the land was not sold for its full value. The Court ordered Sessions’ fi. fa. to be credited with the amount of the sale of tho land,, less the costs, commis sions of sale, etc. Held: That npon the fore going statement of fuels, there was no error in the judgment of the court below ordering Ses sions’ fi. fa. to be credited with toe amount for which the land was sold, the Bamo being the oldest fi. fa. in the Sheriff’s hands. Judgment affirmed. W. D. Kiddoo, by A. Hood, for plaintiff in error. Fielder & Jones for defendant. The Pittsburg Gazette tells an astonishing -story of a dance for the prize of a gold ring at a recent ball in that city. A dozen competitors entered for toe contest. At toe. expiration of twenty minutes four took their seats. Tho rest whirled on, but at the end of an hoar only three couples were on toe floor. Another hoar elapsed, and another couple gave up from sheer exhaustion. The fiddlers played and played, as well as they were able, and the two couple waltzod and waltzed as rapidly as they could. After five hours and three minutes had elapsed one of the ladies fainted,'and her partner po litely followed her example. Amid feeble cheers from the weary spectators the ring was awarded to tho remaining couple, and all par ticipants were carried home and pat under med ical treatment.

The wealth of the «- 4 . try depended on the coal trade. Tha railroad should afford transportation. Gen. JohnB.

White, President of the HaoonnJ Western Railroad, depicted the condition d Sontnem railroads, in ’an able and poiitrf speech. He urged a compromise between both i parties. CoL A S. Colyar made a pertinent and ssa ble speech, demonstrating the community d interests of railroads and coal miners. Hesaii that both wotild make more money by siippiy large quantities of coal at small* profits, thii small quantities at large profits. Mr. Hazelton of the Etna, spoke of Geoiji as pre-eminently a manufacturing State, k the importance of cheap coal to the derely ment of manufacturing. Mr. Leroy Drew, General Agent of several English lines of steam ers, then addressed the Convention in behriol establishing a coal depot at Brunswick, fi had examined the harbor of Brunswick aril was toe finest he had seen. Vessels of a draft could come up to it any season of the ysi without fear of disease. It would lead to ha- ing np a return trade. CoL Hulbert endorsed the suggestion, and expressed his vcillingnesstc reduce the freight on coal to the cost of to porta tion. B. C.
