Congressional Affairs.
Aa was anticipated the Radicals have thrown

brethren are bent upon a square stand-up fight
with Nature on tins issue, but if Nature don’t
whip them out at last, you may callus a granny.
In the House a bill has been brought for
ward to repeal the tariff duties on foreign salt
and coal, and, inasmuch as this is a Democratic
measure, it is said by the telegram to indicate
B prolongation of the session. The mass of the
Democrats had heretofore resisted all attempts
at general legislation by the new Congress, and
the introduction of this bill indicates some con
cession on their part. The Radicals base their
plea for prolonging the session on the alleged
Importance of getting the Ku-klux report before
the country,* and of enacting some legislation
for the protection of the negroes in the South.
of this .is. probably pretence. The real
point is to hold. Congress together for the San
Domingo report,-which is expected about the
first of next month. Evidently there will be
but little -difficulty in effecting this purpose,
and, then, having plunged into general business
as well as this .pet project of the administration,
the duration of this extra session may be pro
longed indefinitely.
BEEOHKB.as an Odd Fish.—The New York
Sun, of Monday, says:
Last evening Beecher preached an eloquent
sermon in Plymouth Church. He said that men
had two natures—the one animal and the other
spiritual. He compared man to a tenement
house, whose tipper part is occupied by respect
able people, while the lower floors are in posses
sion of a gang of rowdies. The parties fought
and gained the Ascendancy alternately. These
two antagonists were the two natures of man.
Speaking of anger, Mr. Beecher said that to
attempt to watch one’s temper was like watching
fire-craekers .when mischievous urchins were
around. While you were watching one cracker,
another would explode somewhere else. The
reverend gentleman said that he had watched
his own temper, but he .did not believe it was
any better than when he began.
Mr. Beecher denounced the practice prevalent
among some people of praying at a certain hour
every day. He thought people should pray only
when they felt the inclination. Religion, he
said, did not go by clockwork/’
We are very much afraid that if religion does
not run on system it .will stop .altogether. If
men pray only when they “feel the inclination,
a good many would pray but seldom or never ;
and, we doubt not, the less “inclination” a man
feels, the greater the necessity for .prayer. And
then, as to watching one’s temper,-does not the
Scriptures tell us to watch as well as pray ?—to
keep our hearts with all diligence? and so on.
Brother Beecher talks much, like a good Chris
tian sometimes; but at others-ho seems, to be:
off the track entirely.
Satisfaction.—Auditor -Graham, of .Louis
iana, “in order to satisfy the public mind,” pub
lishes a statement of the debt of Louisiana,
which foots np as' follows:
Existing debt, ..$25,021,734 40

The Memphis Appeal says:
It is too mnch ootton which causes present
low prices. The receipts at Memphis from
September 1st to date are 10,975 bales in ex
cess of the receipts for the whole of the “big
crop” season of 1859-GO, when the amount was
398j 791 bales. The whole crop of that season
was 4,700,000. In 1860-61, when the crop was
3,100,000 bales, the receipts here were 369,653
bales, or 39,813 bales less than received during
a little more than one-half of the present sea-

SouctJTaoeida.—Sugar cane on Dunn's Lake
is reported to be twelve to eighteen inches high
at last dates. The Palatka Herald boasts of the
possession of two canes of last year’s growth
eaoh fifteen feet high. Mellonville brags on
the finest oranges produced in Florida, and says
her crop was uninjnred by frost The Falatka
Herald says that the upper lakes on the Ockla-
waha river are surrounded with deep green
water, and in navigating the river and lakes
the steamers com.e to a point where the water
runs both ways.
New Us* for Tin Foil.—A new use has been
found for tin foil. A lemon, apple or orange
wrapped in leaf tin will retain weight, moisture,
and freshness fora muchlonger time than when
put in papers or packed in-bran, sawdust, etc.
Tin foil, to the value of a. few dimes, will suffice
to cover a barrel of oranges,jmd the work can
be done in half an^honr. The exclusion of air
and dampness and the prevention of contact
are much more effectually attained by envelopes
.of tin foil than of paper. It is now used very
largely for cheeses, sausages; and.xnany kinds
Of smoked meats.

The Detroit Free Press says that some of the
unmarried lawyers in the Michigan Legislature
propose an enactment of the old Enfiliah law
which provides that any man marrying a woman
who deceives Mm by artificial eyes, hair, teeth,

Comparative Statement of Internal Reve.

The cotton reoeipts of Maoon from Sept. 1,

Thus it will be seen that without counting the

691 bales in exeess of all the receipts of last
year, and SG.958 in excess of those of the year
before. Surely with such evidences of product
ive capacity as the above we need not be sur
prised to see the bottom drop out of the market
Speculators and dealers, it is said, must carry a
milling bales over the summer, with the pros
pect of a heavy addition to the load from the
next crop.
The increase in cotton production since the
war has totally deceived the people. Few
thought any such xesult possible under the ex
isting circumstanoes. Where was the labor to
come from? In 1867, conversing with a party
of very intelligent agricultural and commercial
men, there was but one dissenting voice to the
otherwise universal opinion that the Southern
cotton crop would never again exceed two mil
lions of bales. One thought, on the contrary,
it would grow very fast; but he could not give
any very satisfactory-data to support the opin
ion.
We mention these facts as some apology for
the sad reverse in the business of cotton pro
duction. Every planter, while and swelling his
own cotton produot, thought he was an excep
tion, and that the Sonth, considered as an nnit,
could not possibly overstock the market, on ac
count of the sheer lack of physical force to do
it. We ourselves never anticipated so rapid a
gain on consumption. We thought demand
would at least keep step with supply, and insure
the planter a prosperous business for many
years. But we were mistaken, and the unwel
come conclusion is now forced upon ns all, that
cotton-producing, as a business, cannot prom
ise, in the future, any signal profits. -Only when
it shall be attended by a system of general farm
ing which shall economise the pursuit to the
greatest possible extent, can it be followed with
satisfactory results.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Judge Whitaker’s connection with the Atlanta
Intelligenoer, as we learn from Wednesday’s
issue of that paper, has ceased^ and Mr. Samuel
Bard has taken charge of it.
That industrious flea of the trooly toil per

The Cry fob Credit.—Already a wail comes
np from , various parts of the country to ware
housemen and grocers, for credit for the neces
sary supplies to prodace another crop. So ab
ject is the condition of some tillers of the soil,
that they want credit for a middling of meat, a
gack of com, or a bag of guano. They have noth
ing in their cribs and smokehouses; the proceeds
of the,last cotton crop have gone to pay up old
scores, leaving many still largely in debt, and
the fit subjects for the execrations of the men
who have heretofore granted them indulgence.
Sad Intelligence—Nine Persons Drowned.
By the steamer Atlanta, which reached onr
wharf about dark last evening, we learn that six
young men .belonging to theU. S. Coast Sur
vey, were drowned at Apalachicola last Sunday
while attempting to reach their vessel from the
city in a skiff. Their names are as follows:
G. W. Binell, A. F. Pearl, J. E. ..geott, Henry
Austin, JosephRidler, and James .Anderson.
The first three were from Northern oities, the
last three from Apalachicola. .Fall. particulars

By the same arrival we learn that two men
were drowned at Fort Gainqs, and’one at Allnm
Bluff on the river daring the past few days.
The monthly sales at Augusta, last Tuesday,
were large, and the bidding spirited—on city
real estate, especially. Moles and horses, how
ever, brought low figures. Ninety-seven acres
of Savannah river bottom land sold for $3,600,

the city, brought only ninety cents and $150 an
acre, respectively.
A jealous woman took, as she supposed, a

two robberies, and one robbery and attempt at
murder inside the city limits, Monday and Tues
day. Two gentlemen boarding at the Mansion
House we robbed of $100 on Monday night, a
negro porter at Mrs. Whitehead's boarding
house was robbed the same night of all his

old negro man was attacked by two others of
the same color, and after having been dreadfully
beaten was robbed of every cent be bad.

The National Democracy and the Consti
tutional Amendments and Reconstruc
tion Acts.
The World, of Monday, talking abont one of
Bard’s manifestoes upon Mr. Linton Stephens
and tho Constitutional Amendments and Recon
struction Acts, has the following to say:
We do not care to participate aotively in this
discussion at its present stage, preferring to
leave Southern public opinion to its spontane
ous development, and having confidence in the
result We will make no attempt to convince
persuade anybody, -but will merely call atten
tion to the present state-of the question.
First The reconstruction acts are no longer
in force, having expiredby their own limitation.
There is, therefore, no room either to resist their
enforcement or agitate for their repeal.
Second. The State constitutions, formed un
der tho pressure and coercion of the reconstruc
tion acts, are amendable by the people of each
.State, like all other State constitutions. The
freedom to make a new constitution is as folly
possessed by each of .the Southern as it is by
each of the Northern States; but constitutional
changes in a State cannot properly become
question of national politics, or a topio in the
national platform of the Democratic party.
Third. The new amendments to the Federal
Constitution have no substance or importance,
except in these two particulars: (1) slavery, ant 1
(2) negro suffrage. If, as a matter of fact, all
the States acqniesoe in the abolition of slavery,
and no State contemplates the exclusion of the
negroes from elective franchise, it is of no prac
tical consequence whether the new Constitu
tional amendments are valid or not. Now, as
far as we are aware, neither Jndge Stephens,
nor Senator Blair, noranybody, either South or
North,proposes to re-establish slavery. It is clear,
then, that the enforcement of the 13th amend
ment cannot be a’party issue, nor, in any sense,
a question of practical politics. There is noth
in the I4th amendment worth fighting abont if
the 15 th is accepted; the disfranchising clause
being repealable by a mere act of Congress, which
is favored by so many Republicans that it will
easily pass as soon as the Democrats are a ma
jority in the two Houses. If, therefore, none
of the States wishes to take away suffrage from
the negroes, there is no practical reason for
contesting the -validity of any of the amend
ments. Practically, therefore, the whole ques
tion is narrowed to this' single point: whether
the Sonth wishes to go into the next Presiden
tial election with the abolition of negro suffrage
as a Democratic issue. On this point we are
quite willing to bavo a free expression of
Southern opinion. In the North tho question
is of no importance, onr negroes being so few
that their votes are as mere dost in tho balance
None of the new amendments prohibits the
States from requiring a property qualification,
or an educational qualifiestion for voters. Eveiy
State is free to adopt either or both; and if
(which we donbt) there is a majority in any
State who wish to exclude the negroes, they
can accomplish nearly all they desire without
raising any question under the 14th or the 15th
amendment.
A Happy Riddance.
Under this bead the New Orleans Times of
Saturday, thus photographs the so-called Legis
lature of that negro ridden State. The picture
will do for every one of the mobs that Radical
venom and scoondrelism and the free use of the
bayonet has organized in the Sonth:
The body which has been engaged in this city
for sixty days, at an expense of a million of
dollars, in the business of selling votes and acts
to rings of jobbers and speculators, terminated
its existence last night. Its career will be with
out parallel in the history of civilized commu
nities, for shameless venality, corruption, fraud
and treachery. No den of forty thieves for the
forecastle* of a piratical vessel ever enclosed
more vicious and dangerous elements than the
Mechanics’ Hall on Dzyades street has sheltered
daring these two months. Scaroely a measure
of any necessity to the State, or proposition
looking tp the general welfare, the good gov
ernment of the people, the lightening their bur
dens,, increasing the fesourcea and improving
the credit of the State, has received the slight
est attention. The whole time and business of
the body have been taken np with bills for the
relief of claimants, who have no legitimate
claims, and the enacting of sots to plnnder the
State for the benefit of individuals.

until he “party nigh took root,” no, sheriff'or
clerk or district attorney appearing; Jim looked
into the code, which (a bran new volume) lay
before him, then into the recent acts of the
Legislature, wliioh he held before him. Hvring
become satisfied upon the legal points in the
case, he directed a yellow negro to open the
court, who proceeded to the grave task, saying,
“Oh yes, on yes, dis honerbel distrik court am
now open; God sabe dis honerbel distrik court.”
■ Court being thus formally opened, Jim again
looked at the Code, at the acts, at King Thomm
and at the deputy constable, and then com
menced writing, as wo afterwards learned, or
ders to the sheriff, clerk and other offioers to ap
pear, produce the jury box on to-day, the 8th
instant, or show cause why they shonld not be
attached for contempt. The coart then ad
journed, and Jim took up his code and his acts,
and vacated the seat with a dignity which would
have graced a Richelieu. Jndge Schley had re
fused to grant an injunction, to which the bar
resorted as a legal restrainer upon Jim Simms.
The officers, however, having taken legal ad
vice, will act upon that advice, and thus bring
the matter to an issue direct.
Five K. K.’s were arrested in Washington
county last week, and are now boarding at the
Sandersviile jail. They are aU negroes. They

that they were coming to pay him a visit, and
he called in help, and when they appeared
bagged the whole party.
The Cartersvflle Express states that oa last
.Ku-Klux and Adjournment.-r-A Gerald special
from Washington says the Demoorats have de
termlned to vote solidly for an early adjourn
ment, bnt the Radicals are determined to hold
on for the report of the special Ku-KIux com
mittee. The dispatch says:
It is stated by those who have access to the
evidence already taken by the Oatrage Commit
tee that the testimony shows a frightfnl condi
tion of affairs in the Southern States, that the
secret political organization known as the Ku-
Klux has got the upper hand, that in many parts
of the Sonth the civil authorities are powerless
to enforce the laws, that even deoent Demoorats
are becoming alarmed for the common safety,
and that in a short time, if the present state of
affairs is allowed to continue, there will not be
a Union man left in the Southland society wUl
be in a chaotio condition. In view of these
facts the Republicans, or rather the sagacious
political leaders of the party, are of opinion that
before adjonrning Congress should do some
thing to remedy the evil.
Georgia Pines.—We make the following ex
tract from the circular of Duncan, Ewing & Co.,
Wood Brokers, Liverpool, for tho year ending
31st January, 1871:
White Pine.—The demand for the past twelve
months has been restricted by the enhanced
eost of production of this staple artiole of onr
Canadian wood trade, and its displacement to a
great extent in bnilding, by cheaper pine of
Georgia and Florida. The business in St. John
pine has for many years been rapidly dimin
ishing. The imports tor the past has been a
little over one-fifth of what it was ten years ago.
We anticipate this branch of the wood trade to
become extinct
Pitch Pine.—An increased importation daring
the year 1870 has to be reported, and it is grati
fying to notice that the consumption has ex*
tended in a still greater degree, induoed by the
low rates at which. this very useful wood has
been placed at the disposal Of the trade, leaving
a moderate stock on hand. Sawn timber has
gained favor for house building and other pur
poses where much size is not requisite.

horse, which which prove to be untrue, and B.
also promised, in case anything was wrong, to
mako it right.
Held, Upon a suit brought by S. against B.
on the breach of warranty, that no particular
words are necessary to constitute a warranty,
and that the jury under the facts of this case
and the charge of the court, were the proper
judges of the intention with which such state-
mentawere made, and their finding for plaintiff
was Apt contrary to law or evidence, and the
courrcommitted no error in refusing a new trial
on the ground taken.
Judgment affirmed.

Mark A. Hoson vs. James Martin, Sheriff.
Rule from Bibb.
Loohbane, O. J.—Execution, issued upon a
judgment obtained in 1869, and a rule moved
against the sheriff for not paying over the
money on the fi. fa., which rule proceeded to
attachment, and superseded the enforcement
thereof by bond, in terms of the law.
And, after such proceedings against the sheriff,
and the carrying the case to this court, the
plaintiff in £L fa. petitioned the court, set
ting out these facts, and the whole record in the
original snit, to instruct the sheriff to levy the
fi. fa. upon the ground thas such payment was
not based on a contract between the parties be
fore Jane, 1865, and, consequently, not within
the resolution of the Legislature staying the
levy of fi. fas. on such contracts, which instruc
tions the court refused to give upon the ground
that he had already granted owattachment abso
lute for money due on the fi. fa.:
Held, That there was no order to refuse the
instructions under the circumstances. The
party plaintiff had his option to initiate his pro-
ceedings in the court below by rule or action
against the sheriff, or, waiving any step against
him primarily, to have brought the matter fori
instructions to the sheriff before the court, upon
proper petition, making the defendants parties
thereto. Bnt having instituted proceeding by
role against the sheriff officially, and the judg
ment thereon having been, under the provis
ions of the law, superceded daring its pendency
in this court, the whole case was suspended,
and the fi. fa. could not proceed at the instanoe
of the plaintiffs in fi. fa., and it was proper in
the jndge to decline such instructions, and es
pecially as his judgment on the rule was al
ready the adjudication of the question sought
to be readjudicated by the petitioner.
Judgment affirmed.

error. ‘
W. K. DeGraffenreid for defendants.
T. W. Ellis vs. J. H. Zeilin & Co. Equity,
from Bibb. -
Lochbane, C. J.—Complainants alleged that
they are entitled to the sole and exclusive right
to manufacture and sell a certain preparation
known as Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator or
Medicine, and have acquired right thereto by
purchase; and that they have expended large
sums of money in manufacturing and advertis
ing it, by whioh it has become widely known
and justly celebrated for the purposes it is in
tended to accomplish. And that they have
adopted certain trade marks, -in which their
packages are put np. And that the plaintiff in
error has commenoed to sell a preparation which
he calls by nearly a similar name, and is pat
ting it up in packages of similar form and size,
and that the general appearance and printed
endorsements thereto, iB intended to take ad
vantage of the reputation acquired by the prep
aration of Zeilin & Co., which they allege is a
fraud.upon their rights, etc. To which bill a
demurrer was filed, whioh was overruled by the
Court: .
Held, That under the facts charged in the
bill, admitted by the demurrer, this Court will
not reverse the judgment of the Court below,
upon the ground that (the bill alleged sufficient
prima facie evidence to predicate the claim of
property in Zeilin & Co. to the exolusive right,
to make and sell such medioinal preparation
sufficient to retain the bill until a hearing, upon
the evidence to be submitted in the case.
Hold again, That in matters of trade marks
or labels to medical compounds, that mere sim
ilarity of size, or square packages, or of clasi-
fication of diseases or symptoms, is insufficient
to invoke e quitable interference, that compound
ing patent medicine is an open trade, and pro
tection by law ia only authorized when the in
vention itself or its own peculiar name and de
vices, are taken by appropriation, and pat upon
the pablicinfraudof individual rights acquired
by priority of use and title therein.
Judgment affirmed.

fact as to whether there had been a formal gift
by the father to a son of real estate, with deliv
ery of possession, under such circumstances as
mads the gift good against creditors of the
father, and there was evidence on both sides,
and the whole question of law and faot was sub
mitted to the Jndge, this Court will not disturb
his judgment, unless it be strongly and decidedly
against the evidence.

John Doe, ex dem. of G. M. Logan, Trustee,
eta, vs. R. Roe, case of ejectment, and T. Stew
art et aL tenants. Ejectment, from Bibb
connty.
MoOay, J.—Where on the trial of an action
of ejectment for a lot in the city of Macon, in
favor of George M. Logan, Trustee for Mrs. A.
E. McLaughlin, it appeared that in 1850 Mc
Laughlin and his wife, on their marriage in
Riohmond county, entered into a marriage con
tract, in which McLaughlin covenanted with
John T. Lamar, who was a party to and signed
the deed, that his wife shonld have a separate
estate in certain real and personal estate be
longing to her before the marriage; that sub
sequently, in 1.636, the city lot, of which the
property in dispute is a part, was leased, with
the proceeds of the separate estate for 999 years
from the city of Macon; that a deed of lease
was taken to John T. Lamar, Trustee for Mrs.
E. McLaughlin; that in 1842 Lamar died, that
in 1842 McLaughlin conveyed the lot to White
& McLaughlin, partners, McLaughlin being one
of the trio in consideration of one dollar; that
In 1849 the whole lot was sold as the property
of White, at sheriff’s sale, under an execution
against White only; that on the day of the sale
the purchaser reconveyed the lot to White; that
McLaughlin saw the advertisement of tho sale,
and was in the city on the day of sale, bnt was
not present at the Bale; that the defendant,
through several intermediate purchasers, held a
portion of the lot, under title from White, as
the owner of the whole; that they had no notice
of the marriage settlement, or of the faots that
the lease was paid for with the separate funds
of the wife, and have in good faith made valu
able improvements upon it:
Held, 1. That, under the marriage settlement,
Lamar became, by operation of law, trustee for
the protection of the separate estate, and if the
lease was paid for by the separate funds of the
wife, Lamar was in equity a trustee for her sole
use of lot conveyed In the lease; that at his
death the trusteeship became vacant, and the
Judge of the Superior Court might legally ap
point a successor who could maintain ejectment
on the title.
2. That, although, by the law as it stood be
fore the adoption of the Code, the deed “to
Lamar, trustee for Mrs. McLaughlin,” did not
Contain any words sufficient to exclude the mar
ital rights of the husband, yet, as between the
wife and her husband, or purchasers from him
with notice of the wife’s rights, or between her
and wrong doers, marital rights did not in faot
attach, and her trustee may, as against him,
or purchasers from him with notice, or mere
wrongdoers, maintain ejectment for the lot.
3. That inasmuch as the deed to Ti^mur was
to “Lamar, trustee for Wm. McLaughlin,” it
did not, upon its face, as the law then was, ex
clude the rights of the husband, and persons
dealing with him had a right to treat him as the
true owner, and any purchaser from him or
under him, without notice of the equitable
rights of the wife, if the purohase be bona fide,
will be protected againBt her rights.
4. Under the deed from MoLaughlin to "White
& McLaughlin, only an undivided half of toe 1
lot passed to White and toe purchasers at the
sheriff’s sale, and those holding nnder that sale,
hold only the interest of White ; nor does the
faot that McLaughlin saw toe advertisement and
was in toe city at the time, bnt was not present
at toe sale, estop toe wife or her trustee from
setting up against said purchasers, her right to
toe other undivided half of toe lot.
5. One tenant in common may bring.ejeotment
against his cotenant, if the possession of the
ootenent be adverse; if a recovery is had the
plaintiff will be put in possession as tenant in
common, leaving to the parties the right, by
writ of partition or by bill in equity, to settle
any equities there may be between them as ten
ants in common.
Warner J., concurring.—The deed from toe
city of Macon to John T. Lamar, as trustee for
Mrs. MoLaughlin to the two-acre lot did not
create a separate estate in her, and the marital
rights of her husband attached thereto, and
vested toe title in him by operation of law; toe
deed of A. R. MoLaughlin, the husband, to toe
firm of White & MoLaughlin, conveyed toe un
divided half of said lot to White, the other
undivided half was toe property of McLaugh
lin. The sheriff’s sale under an execution
against White, and the sheriff’s deed conveyed
only such title as White had in toe property,
whioh was only one undivided half thereof, and
all the subsequent purchasers of that undivided
half of toe lot deriving their title through toe
original conveyance of MoLaughlin to that un
divided half of toe lot, who were bona fide pur
chasers, claiming under that original convey
ance of title by him, are entitled to be pro
tected as such against toe plaintiff’s action to
reoover the land. The plaintiff’s counsel re
quested the court to charge toe jury, “That de
fendant did not get a full title through the deed
to White & MoLaughlin, unless be prove toe
title from both - these purchasers; that a deed
from White alone or a sheriff’s deed pur
porting to convey the title or property to
White only, could give title to only one-half
of toe land, an undivided half, unless McLaugh
lin was present and assisted, or by some posi
tive sot, misled the buyer, that although' he
knew of toe land being advertised the law did
not oblige him to go to the sale and notify the
bnyerofhis claim, or title." This charge, in
view of the facts of this case, shonld, in my
judgment, have "been given to the jury. The
fact that there was ani outstanding title in Mc
Laughlin to toe undivided-half uf toe land ob
tained in virtue of Us marital rights, as toe hus
band of his wife, who bad notice of the trust and
that toe land was purchased with toe trust
funds, coaid not be set up as a defense to de
feat the plamtiff’a right to recover that undivi
ded half of the lot in dispute, uor would toe
facts relied on operate as an estoppol to con
clude the rights of McLaughlin to sue for toe
undivided half of the land, mnch less toe plain,
tiff, whose trust funds paid for it, as against
McLaughlin’s title to the undivided half inter
est in the two acre lot conveyed by toe city of
Macon, who bad notice at toe time he acquired
his title thereto, that toe land was paid for with
toe trust funds of the plaintiff nnder toe mar
riage settlement.

James Martin, Sheriff, vs. M. A. Huson.—
Rule against Sheriff of Bibb.
Warner, J.—An execution was placed in the
sheriff’s hands, which issued on a judgment
rendered sinee toe 1st of June, 1865, and a role
was taken against toe sheriff requiring Um to
show cause why he should not be attached for
contempt of toe process of toe court in failing
to make, the money due toe plaintiff therein,
and toe sheriff shewed for cause that he had
been notified by the defendant that the 'judg
ment on which the execution issued was obtain
ed on a debt or contract made prior to the 1st of
June, 1865, and that the collection thereof was
suspended by a resolution of toe General As
sembly, passed in 1870, that toe defendant
promised to save the sheriff harmless in toe
event of his not proceeding to collect the same
Upon this showing of toe sheriff the court made
toe role absolute against toe sheriff for the
amount due on the execution, to which toe
sheriff excepted:
Held, That there was no error in toe judg
ment of the Court below in making the rule ab-
so'ute against toe sheriff upon the showing set
forth in the record that toe sheriff’s dnty was to
have proceeded to collect the money due on toe
execution, unless the defendant had filed an
affidavit of illegality thereto, or unless restrain
ed by some other legal process, from doing so.

Warner, J.—An action was brought by toe
plaintiff against toe defendant as toe adminis
trator of ms intestate, to recover the value of
certain goods which toe plaintiff alleged had
been appropriated and converted by the defend
ant’s intestate. On the trial of the case, the
plaintiff was offered as a witness for toe pur
pose of proving tho ownership and valne of toe
articles sued for, the plaintiff’s counsel stating
that he would prove toe bailment and conver
sion of toe property by other testimony. • The
articles sued for had been locked up in a chest
when delivered to defendant’s intestate, bnt
plaintiff did not state that he conld not other
wise prove said articles or the valne thereof,
except by his own oath. The Court ruled ont
the testimony of the plaintiff on toe ground
that toe defendant’s intestate was dead.
Held, That the testimony of the plaintiff was
properly ruled ont by toe Court as against the
administrator, whose intestate was dead. After
the testimony of toe plaintiff was ruled out by
the Court, toe plaintiff having no other evidence
to make ont his case, toe Court allowed a ver
dict to be taken in favor of the defendant :*
Held, That toe allowing of the defendant to
take a verdiot was error; that the Court shonld
have dismissed the ease.
Judgment reversed.

Stephen V. Walker vs. Elisha Walker. As
sumpsit from Monroe.
Warner, J.—A testator made his will and be
queathed one-sixth part of his estate to the
children of his son Elihn, and directed that his
son should have toe right to become the guar
dian of his children nnder age, upon his giving
bond and good security for toe faithful payment
of the principal when his children Should become
of age, and pay no interest on their respective
estates— and Elihq became the guardian of his
son. Stephen V, gave toe bond andreoeived
his share of the testator’s estate under toe will,
in toe year 1854 or 1855, and at firstmingletl
toe money so received for his son with his own
money, and loaned it ont at interest with his
own, making no distinction between his own
and that money; loaned large amounts of money
to Cochran & Dumas, who were then reputed to
be solvent, and'never separated his son’s money
from his own until 1862, when renewing Coch
ran & Dumas’notes, he took toe notes payable
to himself as guardian of his son, and a mort
gage on property to secure too payment thereof,
which mortgage seonrity beeame valueless, there
being a prior judgment lien on the mortgaged
property, Cochran & Dumas became insolvent.
On the trial of an action brought by the son,
Stephen V., against his father as guardian, to
recover toe amount due him nnder toe will of
his grandfather, the oonrt charged toe jury,
that “if toe defendant, as guardian for toe plain,
tiff, loaned his money to persons good and sol
vent at toe time of toe loan, and used ordinary
diligence to Secure toe debt, and such diligence
as he used in his own business, and toe debt
was lost, he Bhonld not be held responsible for
the loss, as he had a discretion to loan the money
or not, as he might see proper:”
Held, That toe charge of toe Court as appli
cable to guardians and trustees, under toe gen
eral law of this State, who are required to pay
interest on too fnnds in to.eir hands, was, in
substanoe, a legal charge; yet, nnder the faots
presented by the record in this case, the charge
of the Court was error, inasmuoh as it was
clearly the intention of toe testator, by his will,
to secure too payment of the principal sum be
queathed to his grandohildren on their becom
ing of age, in any event, and toe guardian hav
ing received the money under-the terms and
provisions of the will, he is bound to conform
thereto, he was not bound so pay any interest,
and if he made any interest or profit from the
use of toe money, it was for his own benefit—
toe profits arising therefrom were extensively
his own, and toe risk was his own, if he lost
toe principal in loaning it to make interest for
himself.
Judgment reversed.
