Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, MARCH 14, 1871 Congressional Affairs. Aa was anticipated the Radicals have thrown — Snmner out of the Chairmanship of the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs as a penalty'for his Opposition to the San Domingo -project. Sum- «p «• Si. bill tp enforce common seats with the negroes at churches, theatres and ail public assemblies; common cars, steamboat and hotel accommo dations, etc., eto. Sumner and his Radical 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 Accruing debt, 15,395,000 00 Cotton too Hncti. 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- Total $40,416,734 40 The people will get the same sort of saiisfac- tier, ont of that which a man is supposed.tp re alize from the duels with a pistol ball through his body. And if we don’t lookout inGeorgia, we will get the same kind and degree of financial satisfaction Here. 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. Peruvian Guano.—In another column will be fohnd an advertisement frojn the Savan nah Agency of the Peruvian Government, from which it wiU be seen that the above reliable (nUIiur mb ha jiroffliml in ctnnntiHAR to nit purchasers atyery low prices. §end for circu- ar and terms, _ Butler's Anxt-Ec-Klux bill, it Is said, routes B life estate for all the negroes in the engage ments which happep to be subsisting when the bill passes. One of its provisions makes it a penal offence to ium off a negro from any em ployment, provided he swears he has committed no unlawful act. Mobs Ocean Steamers.—Si? immense steam era ore being constructed at Belfast, which will constitnte a new line between New York and Liverpool. The pioneer of the lot, the Oceanic, is nearly finished. She is 440 feet in length, and built mainly of iron,with 3,000 horse-power, and capacity of 6,000 tons burden. 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, limbs, or state of health, may put her away by a speedy system of divorce. Thirst fob Office.—The local having sug gested yesterday morning, in view of the anti- cow ordinance, that families might club together and employ cow herds to drive the animals to the city reserve in the morning, watch them all day and return at night, there were some twenty applicants for the position at noon. ChbthTihx Nilsson.—The Chicago papers say that Christine Nilsson has given instructions to invest $75,000 in property in Chicago and neighborhood, and that she has thrown up her London opera engagements and will mat™ the United States her permanent home. Comparative Statement of Internal Reve. Collections.—The total internal revenue collections from July 1, 1869, to Febrnary 24, 1870, were $109,194,390 51, and from July 1, 1870, to February 24,1871, $100,278,251; de- crease, $8,049,189 03. Thebe is nothing .pew about Greeley to-day He is closeted practicing on a new oath, of which a recently arrived pjrato is trying to sell him the right-of-way. It is said he made the pirate sick at rehearsal by introducing a few of Jiis old oaths by way gf jtjiety.-tf. Y. gem. 729 bales less than the amount received this season to date. The cotton reoeipts of Maoon from Sept. 1, 1868, to Aug. 31, 1869, were bales 68,762 from Sept 1,1869 to Aug., 31, 1870....80,129 From Sept 1,1870, to March 8,1871, they have been ......95,720 Thus it will be seen that without counting the receipts of yesterday we are, at this date, 15,- 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 suasion, A. D. Rock&fellow, we notice, has been np before Judge Spencer, at Atlanta, on charge of vagrancy. .Twenty shares of Southwestern Railroad stock sold at Coiambus, Tuesday, for $93 a share. We clip as follows from the Columbus Enqui rer* of Wednesday: 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 to-morrow. * 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, bnt two other tracts, twelve and four miles from the city, brought only ninety cents and $150 an acre, respectively. A jealous woman took, as she supposed, a “sure pop” at a bar-keeper last Monday, with a revolver, bnt only succeeded in demolishing a bottle of benzine. Augnsta is making quite a reputation as a lively town. The papers of Wednesday report 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 olothea and $10 in silver, and on Tuesday, an 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 Savannah Republican thinks the Senate wimid “infamize” itself by seating Blodgett as Senate? from a^orgia. Too late for that, brother S. It was done long b 8 o Central Railroad stock sola Savannah, Tuesday, for $117 60 to $117 75 a shuo, and Atlantic and Gulf stock brought $33 50 a share, for.common, and $55 50 for guaranteed. The Savannah Republican thus describes the opening of the District Court down there, of which Jim Simms, the mulatto fiddler, is Judge (1) At the hour named, Jim took his seat on the west end of a very large table in the grand jury room of the Snperior Court, which had been placed at bis disposal by the ordinary. On his right sat, in solemn and satyr dignity and beau ty, King Solomon Thomas, black as Erebus and lond as fish guano. Several other darkies cau tiously gathered abont the door to see how the thing would be “did,” and opened their eyes and ears as if to catch the mysteries of the law as promulgated by the immaculate Simms, who ‘ i sat and sat, (waiting for the appearance sheriff and clerk and the district attorney), in “nnrtv nioh took Sunday, while E. G. Nelson was crowing tlio bridge over Euhariee Greek, at Tumlin’a Mills, with his. two little boys, In B two-ten* buggy, the bridge gavo way and prodpitntod thorn into the creek. One of tho hones was klllml, and Mr. Nelson injured so badly that bo died soon after. The little boys esoapod. Anogroman fa trying to get the buggy out of tho crook, was drowned. A flro in the storo of Boetwlok & Matthews, on College Avonuo, Athens, lost Saturday, caused a loss of $2,500. Tho editor of tho Athons Watchman says thore is not half as much wheat sown in that Bection as there should have been. We get the following items from the Haw- kinavillo Dirpatch of Wednesday: Sad Accident.—Oliver Blount, nbont four teen years of age, son of Mrs. Ike Blount, was killed accidentally by his playmate, young Jones, while playing a game of ball, last Sun day. Young Jones made a liok at the ball and his bat slipped from his head, striking Oliver on the head and killing him almost instantly. Both the boys were pupils of Mr. McDonald’s school, near "Coley's Station, Maoon and Bruns wick Railroad. Houston Count* Railroad.—We learn that arrangements have been completed for the bnilding of a branch road from Fort Valley, running through Perry, and terminating at or near. Haynevilie. The Central Railroad has taken the contract, the people of Houston county to become stockholders and pay one-third the amount required to bnild the road. It is stated that work will be commenced at an early day, and the enterprise pushed to rapid comple tion. W. T. Crane, of Town’s county, has been ap pointed Postmaster, at Athens, : i i w, . 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. sat and sat and sal of the 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 notified another negro, who didn’t please them, 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. The following delegates have been appointed by the Georgia State Agricultural Society to attend the horticultural exhibition to be held in Augusta on the 10th and 11th of May next: Colonel James H. Fannin, Troup county; Col onel Richard Peters, Fulton connty; Dr. J. S. Hamilton, Clark county; B. T. Harris, Esq., Hancock county; Colonel J. M. Stubbs, Lau rens connty. David W. Lewis, Secretary. Declslaus of the Supreme court of Georgia. Dklrxuxd AT Atlanta, Tuesday, March 1,1871, Prom the Atlanta Constitution.] John W. Burge vs. Charles Strobcrg. Case from liil»l>. Lochrane, C. J.—Where in a trade of horses B. asgerts cortain material facts inducing the trndo relating to the age and soundness of the 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. Lyon <fc deGraffenried for plaintiff in error. A, O. Bacon for defendant. 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. R. F. Lyon, John Rutherford for plaintiff in 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. Whittle & Gnstin, Jno. P. Fort, for plaintiff in error. Lanier &, Anderson for defendants. Thos. N. Mims vs. J. B. Ross, et aL Appli cation for homestead, from Bibb connty. McCay, J.—Where there was a question of 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. 2. The legatee of a specific bequest of real estate, under a will, who bas the assent of the executor to the legacy has not such a title, as gives him a right to take a homestead therein to the exclusion of the creditors of the testator. Judgment affirmed. (Lochrane, C. J., did not preside in this case.) Jno. Rutherford, for plaintiff in error. Nesbitt & Jackson, Whittle & Gnstin, for defendants. 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.

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. A. O. Bacon for plaintiff in error. Lanier & Anderson for defendant. 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.
