MACON, MARCH 21 187i.
An Early Spring.
From the great lakes to the Golf all the pa
pers speak of unusually warm weather and
a consequent early development of vegetation.
In our own latitude there has been no severe
weather since the remarkable cold spell about
Christmas, when the mercury in Macon sunk as
low as plus 7. Since that time the temperature
has been generally high for the season,and dur
ing the present month it has frequently risen
above 70. Vegetation has therefore come for
ward very fast. Most of our Macon gardeners
have ventured upon the tenderer vegetables to
which frost will be fataL The peach trees
are dropping their blooms and putting out
leaves very rapidly, and most of the deciduous
shado trees are showing young foliage.
The question now rises whather a good deal
of this joint natural and artificial venture is. not
destined to be nipped. Very probably. We are
not ordinarily beyond danger of killing frosts
before the middle of April. We recollect a
severe black frost which killed everything -up in
Middle Florida so late as April 9th. The full
moon on the 5th of April will perhaps bring a
frost. It is a good plan where early planting is
hazarded in gardening to make successive Head
ings, so that where one is cut off another may
be ready to take its place. This-is practicable
with cucumbers, squashes and melons. Thrust
new seeds occasionally in the same hills, though
enough may be already up. It will be easy to
eradicate the surplus, if yon save the-original
planting. So-with early table com and hill
beans. By this proce3s you escape the mortifi
cation of utter defeat in case of a destructive
frost. Asparagus is now plenty, and cabbage
and lettuco, domestic and foreign, are'to be
found in the market. Unless we have a severe
’ snap the peach crop will soon be secure and the
trees promise an overload of fruit.
Comparing Great Tilings with Small
The Herald, in a column and a half, draws a
parallel between the Grant and Sumner fight
and the quarrel betwoen Calhoun and Jackson.
Grant is now playing Old Hickory and enforc
ing discipline in the Radical party as Jackson
didin the Democratic organization. Sumner
will go to. the bad.and die a disappointed man,
as-the Herald says Mr. Calhoun did. The Her
ald winds np as follows:
Still, there is great danger that this attempt
of General Grant to introduce tho discipline of
a regular army into this freo militia organiza
tion of the Republican party may break up the
whole concern. The State election in New
Hampshire .to-morrow, we expect, will throw
some.light upon this subject They have had
time enough there to form a judgment upon
this removal of Sumner. The New Hampshire
Republicans are intelligent men, and they fight
for their party like old soldiers. If, therefore,
to-morrow New Hampshire shall go for the
Democracy, it will be a sign of an impending
general.Repnblican break up. Otherwise, it is
probable that the sacrifice of Sumner will be
accepted by tho party as the casting of Jonah
overboard—an act required to save the ship.
Well, it appears that the New Hampshire
whale did throw up a Jonah, but his name was
not Charles Sumner. It was, to borrow from
the Herald, “General Grant, the President and
recognized head of the party, coming forward,
like Jackson, to enforce discipline as master of
the camp:” This copy of Old Hickory, with
all his “grand .programme” of “manifest des
tiny” and his “comprehensive schemes for the
acquisition of Domingo and the great trade of
the West Indies,” is floundering on the tumult
uous tide of popular disapprobation, all in his
jack-boots and spurs—a veritable Hardicanute
in his disastrous failure to stay the rebellious
waves. Let the Sumner men send out a life*
boat, and pick up this second Old Hickory. Tho
New Hampshire whsle has served him badly.
The original Jonah was vomited forth on dry
land, but the second Jonah is very wet. His
plumes are bedraggled—his buckskins are spoil
ed. Pull him out of the watery gentlemen.
Save Old Hickory, No. 2.
Study the Things that Hake far Fence
One can scarcely read without tears the af
fecting soenes daily reported from France, as
attendant upon the receipt of wholesome and
relishing food by those afflicted people.—
Thousands of wounded soldiers, invalids, and
sick children have been snatched from the very
jaws of death by the timely xeoeipt of fresh
provisions. Almost conntless households are
thrown into transports of joy and gratitude by
the receipt of a small supply of food perhaps
inferior to that which a few months ago they
were accustomed to buy daily in the markets of
that then abundant and luxurious country, with
out a serious thought of the value of their pur
chases, or an emotion of gratitude for the
bounties of Providence.
These scenes tell us as eloquently what France
has lost and suffered by this foolish and cause
less war, as the terrible list of the maimed and
slaughtered—the awful devastation of a smiling
country, adorned and enriched by the intelligent
labor of centuries, and the dreadful incubns of
debt piled up as a mortgage upon the labor of
present and future generations. O what a ter
rible price France has paid for an unsuccessful
attempt to gratify national animosity and mili
tary ambition!
Can people or politicians reflect npon this
lesson of calamity and suffering and not lay its
moral deep to heart ? Who shall measure the
criminality of the man or people who let loose
the devilish passions and enginery of war upon
prosperous countries, and inflict such number
less and incomprehensible woes upon their fel
low creatures—especially upon innocent and de
fenceless women and children 1 What patience
or toleration 6houldbe extended to those miser
able sophists in statesmanship, morals or relig
ion who dole out their sickening cant about the
purifying and beneficial effeot of these “moral
hurricanes,” which are nothing else than sir-
rooco blasts hot from hell—withering every
thing that is beautiful and good, whether in art,
nature or morals.
Men who descant about the “regenerating
effects of war,” would shudder over a street
broil, which is only war on a small scale; and
as the riotous indulgence of tho diabolical in
stincts and passions is evil unmixed in tho man
so is it in the community—so is it in the na
tion. And as the work of the individual peace
maker—the man who restrains his own evil
passions and incites others to do the same, is a
benign and heavenly work—so is the same work
in statesmen and rulers the more exalted and
beneficent in proportion to the extent of its in
fluence and the grandeur of its results.
The religion which makes one code of morals
•for the man and another for the ruler and the
-nation is a false one. It is a very extreme case
indeed, in which a broil or fight does not com
promise the true manhood, dignity and inno
cence of the individual; and it Is an extreme
•case of self-vindication which will justify any
people in appealing from reason to brnte force.
It seems to ns that the morals and philosophy
of the world on the subject of war are sadly at
fault. What do yon think about it, John ?
THfS GEORGIA PRESS.
Holding On With Both Hinds.—The report
that Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi, had de
clined the position of United States Senator, to
which he was elected last year, or that he in
tended to decline it, is contradicted by a special
dispatch of the 19th inst. from Jackson to the
Memphis Avalanche. This dispatch says that
he has not resigned, and does not intend to re
sign ; that he takes the singular position that
he can at the same time hold the two offices of
Governor and United States Senator; and that
he will refuse to give credentials to any man
whom the Legislature may elect to the United
States Senatorship. _
Personal.—Mr. BaseomMyrick, representing

more, that tho Telt-quath and Messenger is so
highly appreciated in the sections penetrated by

A New Ku-klux Committee.—'The House
probably concluded its Ku-klnx legislation on
Wednesday by passing a resolution to appoint a
committee of thirteen to hear testimony during
the recess, and if necessary take testimony
through a subcommittee. This passed by 141
to 64—a majority of Democratic members sup
porting it.

A Hama Nobtb and South Railroad.—A
Ul passed last Congress and has been-approved -
renewing the old land grants of 1856 to the
North and South Road from Montgomery to
tome point on the Tennessee line in the direc
tor of Nashville,
Grant vs. Sumner.
The possibility that the quarrel between the
President and Mr. Sumner may be carried to
the Radical Presidential Nominating Conven
tion in 1872 has no donbt occurred to many of
onr readers. The Herald’s Washington specials
of Monday state that all the New England Sen
ators, except Hamlin, are in favor of Sumner;
and Wilson, Patterson, Cragin, Morrill, Ferry,
Buckingham and Sprague, will lead all the
New England delegations against Grant and in
favor of Sumner, and Fenton in New York,
Logan, Trumbull and Schurz, will lead the op
position to Grant from their respective States.
It is claimed thAt evidence of a wide spread
dissatisfaction among the Radical rank and file
with the course of Grant, is accumulating in
the hands of Sumner and his friends, faster
even than carpet-bag and negro Ku-klux affida
vits, and now amounts to an overpowering vol
ume. Grant’s friends hope that Sumner will
come out in a personal assanlt npon the Presi
dent, but the Hon. Charles maintains a digni
fied Silence and composure, although he is really
in an exalted frame owing to the increasing de
velopments of public feeling ip his favor. On
the other hand, the Radical courtiers claim that
Grant is “in high spirits” too; hut the Snmner
men point to the Smithsonian Institute, where
they say a good many other dead things can be
fonnd “in high spirits,” although as effectually
bottled np as Bntler was at the Dutch Gap.
Meanwhile, the Siynner men denounce the
falsehood of the stories told at Court that Hnm-
ner refused to answer a civil question put him
by Secretary Pish at Fish’s table about a Pish
then on the table, asking his judgment whether
it was a good Fish or a bad Fish; to which
Sumner's only reply was a contemptuous stare
at both the Fishes, while, at the same time, he
was significantly devouring one of them with a
good deal of sauce. Snmner says if he ever
refused to notice Fish, it was only because his
attention was abstracted by something more
important. So, also, he denies as slanders the
Coart allegations that he has or had a speech
ready against the forthcoming High Commis
sion treaty, maintaining that nothing but evac
uation of the North American continent by the
British can atone for the offence of recogniz
ing the Confederates as beligerents.
inst here, the Sumnerists pierce the fifth
ribs of Grant -with a keen dagger 1 They boldly
charge that Grant’s attn«ic on Snmner originated
with Thornton, the British Minister, who re
presented to Fish that a settlement of th« issues
with Great Britain could never take place while
Snmner was at the head of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs. Thereupon, Fish went to
Grant about it, and the two together hatched
tiie conspiracy to eject Snmner from the com
mittee. All this and much more exoiting talk
is telegraphed to the Herald. The pot is boiling
fiercely, and hot water is pouring from the
nozzle.
Usxs or A Hoop Skim.—At Platisbnrg, New
York, lately, a young couple enjoying a skate
on Lake Champlain, by moonlight, ventured
too far from shore, and the gentleman all of a
sadden broke through the ice. 'As fast as he
essayed to climb npon thin ioe, it broke
away, until he was nearly exhausted. In this
emergency the young lady tried first to gull him
ont by using her woolen jacket as a rope, hn^
it was too short After adding several other
articles cf dress to it in vain, She pnlied off her
hoop skirt and severing it in pieces, made a
-rope, with the aid of which she landed him
safely at last on solid ice. That yoting lady will
do to tie to.
Horrible.—Commenting npon an artiole re
cently published in the London Saturday Re
view calling attention to the alarming increase
of drunkenness among English women of the
higher classes, the New York Tribane makes
the following confession with reference to the
women of that section:
Deaths from mania-a-potu have ooonired ibis
winter, and that not in the debased lower classes,
but among cultured, delicately reared women;
some of them young, generous, lovable girls.
This is an ugly and almost inoredible story. If
we did not feel that the danger was imminent,
we would not drag snoh foulness ont from its
hidden corners into the pnblio air.
The first spring dress has appeared on the

Journalism is a queer institution np at Atlan

But Mr. O. thinks this opinion “premature,”
so the local “corrects the offensive allusion.”

One Year Ago.
What stars have faded from onr sky ?
What hopes unfolded but to die ?.
•What dreams so fondly pondered o’er;
Forever lost the hnes they wore ?
How like a death-knell sad and slow.
Tolls through the soul “one year ago ?”
Where is tho face we loved to greet,
The form that graced tho.fireside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way.
That blessed onr pathway day by day?
Where fled those accents soft and low,
That thrilled onr hearts “one year ago?- 1
Ah! vacant is the fireside eliair.
The smile that won, no longer there,
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much was Ioet “one year ago.
Beside her grave tho marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night.
Serene she sleeps, nor hoods the tread
Of footsteps o’er her lovely head!
Her pnlaeleBS breast no more may know
The pangs of the “one year ago 1”
But why repine ? A few more years,
A few more broken sighs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her Bteps have fled.
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed “one year ago!

The Right Sort of Talk.
The negroes of Barbour county, Alabama, by
way of rewarding merit, elected a grossly igno
rant black carpet-bagger named Smith, as
County Superintendent of Education a short
time ago. Smith, who calls himself “Rev.,”
and is therefore justly liable to the suspicion of
extra rascality, has reoently graduated with dis
tinguished honor from the State prison as a
thief, and of course the white people down
there were not very favorably disposed to him,
and. accordingly informed CoL Hodgson, State
Superintendent, of all these facts. How Hodg
son proposes to flank the “Rev.” Smith and
his congenial constituents, is set forth in the
following letter to the old County Snperinten'
dent. We have not been so refreshed since this
warm spell commenced. We hardly think Smith
will superintend any “edicashnn” to hart—at
least in Barbour county. Bat isn’t Hodgson
showing an awfol amount of “disloyalty” in
having and printing such notions ?
State or Alabama,
Office of Suf’dt of Education,
Montgomery, March 8,
Mb. B. B. Fields—Dear Sir : If the Oonnty
Superintendent of Education elect cannot make
his bond, yon continue to hold over until yonr
snooessor is qualified. Yon are the County Su
perintendent, and I hope yon will continue to
act as snob, if neoessary, for two years. I shall
require snoh a bond of the offioer eject as I
think he cannot make.. I am determined that
no negro penitentiary convict shall supervise
the schools of Barbour if I can help it. The
county where dwell the ohildren of a Bulloch, a
Pugh, a Clayton, a Cochran anda Shorter, shall
not be desecrated by snoh a scandal.
I believe yon to be an honorable man, and
although not of my party, I have every reason
to believe that the pnblio schools of Barbour
have been protected in yonr hands. I am con
fident that they will be protected in the future.
I ask yon, therefore, in the name of decency to
continue to act as Superintendent for Barbour.
If neoessary, to save Barbour county, and the
white and colored schools from the supervision
of the negro elected last Saturday, I will de
mand from him a bond of one million dollars.
Has it come to this, that onr white teachers,
male and female, are to be examined for licenses
by an ignorant negro, and that onr innocent
white children, mate and female, are to be su
pervised by a penitentiary convict ? Iam con
fident that yon will agree with me that yonr dnty
to yonr people demands that yon continue in
the offloe.
I am, very respectfully, etc.,
Joseph Hodgson.
Latest from the Land Where “Every
thing is Lovely.”
From Tuesday’s issue of tho Nashville Union
and American, we extract the following tele
graphic items. Considering the locale of all
these crimeB,we think a committee on“Northern
Outrages” might find plenty of businoss. Wo
have not chronicled so many deeds of crime and
violence within the last twelve months as oc
curring in Georgia:
Extensive Abbests of Counterfeiters.—
Harrisburg, March 13.—Within the past ten
days Col. Vfhiteley’s officers have been making
extensive arrests of parties in this city anti
vicinity, for dealing in counterfeit United States
Treasury and National bank notes. Eight ar
rests have been made, and it is thought others
implicated will be eaptnred. Abundant evidence
has been obtained of tbe guilt of Chas. Freder
icks and Michael Hartzell, the former serving
ont a term in the Western Penitentiary for
dealing in counterfeit money; the latter await
ing trial in Alleghany county prison on the same
charge, and of the mnrder of a lad named John
Yohe, in Schuylkill county, in June last.
Chicago, March 11.—The Denver Daily Reg
ister of the 8th says: A Mrs. Thomas, who had
always borne a goad reputation, arrived in that
city, on her way to Santa Fe. She fell into the
hands of a scoundrel, who took her to the Garni
Hotel, got her intoxicated, and passed her off
as his wife. She, after being intoxieated for
several days, exhibited symptoms of insanity,
and was lodged in the calaboose, where she died
on the Sunday night previous. She undoubt
edly had been dragged and foully dealt with.
At Alantio, Iowa,- -on the 4th inst., a man
named Hoover fired two balls into the body of
a man named Charles Porter, and attempted to
fire the same number into the body of bis own
wife, but failed in the latter project. Hoover
had been absent from home for several weeks,
and, on his return, the same evening discovered
that Porter had been occnpying his place in the
family bed daring his absence. Porter is a gay
scoundrel,. and had previously rendered two
families miserable in the same town by his
amours with the female head. It is hoped he
will die, but the prospeot is that he will recover.
Charged with Abduction.—St. Louis, March
13.—George Rice, a man of wealth, living near
Kirksville, Mo., was arrested here to-day,
charged with abducting two girls, aged 14 and
16 years, for the purpose of prostitntion. Tbe
girls are supposed to be in this city, bat have
not yet been fonnd- Rice is 43 years old, and
heretofore has borne an excellent reputation.
Bbutal Murder of a Negro Woman.—Hart
ford, March 13.—The body of Loveley Cables,
colored, was fonnd terribly mutilated in her
father’s honse, in Cornwall, last week, with her
skull broken. She had evidently been killed
with a club fonnd in the house. Frederick
Hall has been arrested.
Crime at Lowell.—Lowell, March 13.—Wm.
Emerson and Charles Galvin, two of five per
sons charged with ravishing a yonng woman
yesterday, have been arrested and held eaoh in
$5,000 bail. The other persons accused are
known, and cannot escape.
“A Largo Contract.”
A pretty good story is told of himself (says
the Boston Traveller) by a season ticket holder
on the Boston apd Maine railroad, a wide-awake,
Jolly, generous, Joke-loving gentleman, Demo
cratic in his politics and liberal in his religion.
Riding in s horse car a short time since, with
tho Catholic priest of his village, who ha3 been
active in trying to indnee his flock to become
temperate, he familiarly addressed him in lan
guage something as follows: “Father , you
I don’t
all the
other clergymen in town.” The priest quietly
replied that he was doing what he could to im
am doing a pretty mod work just now—I
know bnt yon are doing as much good as a
other clergymen in town.” The priest qi
replied that he was doing what he could t
prove his people. “I’ll tell yon what it is,”
tinned the gentleman, ‘Tve been thinking a
attending yonr church, but was afraid it would
cost too muoh to get all my sins pardoned.”
"‘Oh,” said the priest, “we can manage yonr
sum; When we nave a very.large contract we
make a liberal discount!” The laughter that
followed this response only closed when the ears
reached the end of their ronte. And the cap
tain laughs over the story, as he repeats it, un
til this day.

SUMNER IN SPIRITS.
Fall of Faith in a Fntnre Triumph over
Grant—Stories or the Smash Up.
Washington, March 12.—Mr. Snmner con
tinues to be overwhelmed with visitors and
letters and telegrams, mostly from Republicans
who sympathize with him. He is in excellent
spirits, and says that the Santo Domingo job is
beyond resurrection. He counts a dear majority
against it in the Senate, where two-thirds in its
favor are required, and is fall of faith in his
triumph over Grant, not only in this particular
bat others. Administration officials are making
a good many statements to palliate their treat
ment of Mr. Snmner. One is that every effort
had been made to effect a reconciliation by
bringing him in contact with the Secretary of
State at dinner parties at Minister Schenok’s
and other places, bnt that Mr. Snmner refused
flatly to answer polite inquiries put to him by
Mr. Fish around the festive board. In a word,
declined all social intercourse. True, Mr.
Snmner denies this; bnt the weight of evidence
at least seems to be against him. Another is
that, when taken into the confidence of the
High Joint Commission, he submitted four
propositions for a basis of settlement, which
were altogether untenable and thrown ont,
whereupon Mr. Snmner announced that he
should oppose any other plan of settlement.
The first of his propositions is averred to be
that Great Britain—because of her recognition
of Southern beligerency—should be required to
remove her flag from the American continent.
[World 18 th.
Wants to be an Executioner.—The following
petition, from a sanguinary woman, has been
received by the Michigan Legislature. It is
written on perfumed paper, and is signed by
Mrs. Sarah Martin, of St. Joseph:
Gentlemen.—My Bible tells me the legend of
“a life for a life,” bnt modem lawmakers have
a legend of their own, entirely disregarding the
commands of the disciples. I am in favor of
hanging murderers, and of partially hanging
those who assanlt with intent to kill. I think
the time has come when all mock sentiment
should be done away with, and the sacrifice of
life panished to the fullest extent I am no en
thusiast on this idea, bnt, in case snoh a law
was enacted, and there was any difficulty in ob
taining the services of a hangman, I would wil
lingly act in that capacity, without pay or hope
of pay. In fact, I hereby pnt in my claim to
be appointed State Executioner, and to execute
all the murderers to be exeouted under the pro
posed new law. I have attended several execu
tions, and will guarantee to make no blunders.
A man called at the Executive Mansion last
night and aaked to see the President on impor
tant business. He was informed by the usher
that the President had retired and could not be
seen until to-day. He said that he had a com
munication from heaven in the signs of the
times, and that the safety of the nation depend
ed npon the immediate communication of his
information. Failing to gain admission to the
Executive Mansion, he left in search of the
Secretary of State.—Washington Republican.
If he had shown the proper method in bis
madness and brought “a little present” with him
the Administration would not have been inac
cessible. Communications from heaven or the
other place, for that matter, don’t count mneb
with the Administration unless they represent
something tangible—something in the dollars
and cents line. Beyond dispute, the man is
hopelessly insane.
Prussian Amenities.—The war correspond
ents of the London papers have all oome home,

DELIVERED AT ATLANTA, TUESDAY, MAE. 14, 1871.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
' James R. Walker vs. David R. Walker. Mo
tion to vacate deoree, from Upson.
Lochrane, O. J.—Where a bill was filed to
enforce the delivery of cotton under a contract
entered into between the parties thereto, and
for damages for non-perform an ce thereof, and
by order of the judge a bond was required in
the sum of $50,000 from the defendant, condi
tioned for the performance, or. to answer the
deeree of the court, and upon the hearing a
consent verdict was taken and judgment enter
ed up against the principal and his Beoorities
upon Baid bond/and the securities moved to
vacate and set aside the judgment as to them
which was granted by the court :
Held, That the judgment of the court below
was correct; that the right to enter np judg
ment against securities at the same time with
their principal, exists only by statute, and can
only be done in such cases where the statute
has changed the common law, and in cases of
bonds quia timet, while the ultimate liability of
snoh securities may be fixed as to amount by
the judgment against their prinoipal, and the
spirit of our law is to disencumber legal rights
from unnecessary formalities or multiplicity of
suits. Still, in cases like the present, it requires
a legislative act to authorize the courts to apply
the analogies arising under the grants of power
conferred in cases of securities - under other
statutes, against securities on appeal, attach
ment, garnishment, certiorari, write of - error
and claim. ^
Judgment affirmed.

Newton Manufacturing Company vs. H. £ T.
M. White.' Assumpsit, from Newton.
Lochrane, C. J.—Whore an action brought
against a corporation by its corporate name, was
proceeding in court, and snoh defendant pleaded
that it was dormant, and not using its franchises
conferred by its charter; and the evidence un
der such plea was rejected by the court, and the
reoord shows that the corporation was created
under the act of 1847 adopting the name of the
“Newton Manufacturing Company,” and that
by sftch name it had commenced business, and
that one of the parties had purchased ont and
took sole control and ownership of the stock and
properly, and that under the Bame name, the
business was continued after such purchase, the
same agents remaining in the ordinary and ac
customed discharge of duty, the books apper
taining to the business, and brands or stamps
npon the manufactured goods being carried on
unchanged. And that in the case before the
court, certain cotton was procured for the New
ton Manufacturing Company, contracted for by
an agent in its name and received by it:
Held, That the fact of one becoming tho
owner of all the shares of stock and property
of said company, did not, under the facte, ren
der the corporation dormant, or forfeit the fran
chises of the company; and as long as the com
pany, by its officers and agents or owner, car
ried on the business in the corporate name, it
was, by that name, liable to snit for all con
tracts made in its name, and the right of snit
exists until the liability so inourred was dis
charged, and it was not error in the Court to
disallow testimony which would have been
neither pertinent nor material.
Where, npon contract entered into for cotton,
the party had his election to require the return
of the cotton at places specified, or payment in
money therefor.
Held, That a demand for settlement, and re
fusal to pay for cotton, dispensed with any for
mal notice of eleetion, and constated sufficient
demand and notice before the institution of
suit to predicate the action.
When, in the progress of the case, evidence
was rejected by the coart to the effect that
at the time the contract sued on was alleged to
have been entered into by the defendant, a
party was the owner in fact of the property of
such Newton Manufacturing Company, evi
dence having been offered to show the such
dormancy of the corporation.
Hdd, Under the facta where the business was
carried in the charter name with the knowledge
of the said stock owner and under snoh name
the contract sued npon, by the agent of such
company was entered into, that the evidence
was not material to the issue in the case, as A
made no difference as to the fact of who owned
the property. If the business was carried on in
the corporate name without notice to the public
of such sale or transfers, the snit was properly
brought against the oorporatnre.
Where in a matter of fact evidence has been
snbmitted to the jury, and the Charge of the
conrt has fairly presented the questions at issne
and the law thereon to them, and they have
fonnd a verdict sustained by such testimony.
Held, That this court will not grant a new
trial or reverse the court below refusing to grant
a new trial npon this ground.
Judgment affirmed.

John H. Lyon vs. Duke Williams. Complaint
from Upson.
Lochrane, O. J.—Where a snit was brought
on a note given in 1866, and confession of judg
ment was made by attorneys representing the
defendant, and a rule nisi was granted by the
court, calling upon the plaintiff to show causa
why the judgment should not be vacated npon
the ground that the confession was improvi-
dently entered by such attorneys, without
knowledge that the defense to said note was
that it Was made in renewal of a note given for
negro hire, and the plaintiffs denied the facte,
.and issue was joined on the motion and sub
mitted to the jury, and npon the trial it ap
peared that defendant gave a note for negro
hire due in 1861 or 1862 to plaintiff, as admin
istrator, and in 1866 the plaintiff stated that
such note had been lost, and that he had re
turned and was liable for the amount as admin
istrator, and requested a new note, and this
note, the snbjeot matter of this suit, was then
jiven, payable to plaintiff Individually, for a
larger amount than the original note, and it
also appeared from the evidence that the attor
ney was the father-in-law of the defendant*
that he called his attention to the suit, and Baid
he would attend to it, which defendant assented
to, and that he did confess being ignorant of
snoh defense, and having filed no plea, and tbe
'ary were charged by the conrt that if they be-
ieved defendant gave the substitute note to
plaintiff because he had paid it to the estate,
then the defense set np could not be maintained
because the note in that event was not given
for negro hire, but a settlement of money ad
vanced or laid ont and expended for the defend
ant. And the jury found in favor of the judg
ment, and a new trial was asked, whioh the
court refused.
Held first. That counsel being authorized by
the defendant to defend the suit, it was the
duty of the defendant to have pnt his attorney
in possession of snoh matters of defense as he
conceived to exist in defense thereto, and that
a confession of judgment by counsel repre
senting the case, with the knowledge and at the
instance of the party, is sufficient in law with
out any special authorization to that effeot, that
it followed as a legitimate incident of his pro
fessional relation to the ease.
Held again, That nnder the pleadings and
facts of this case, the facts in controversy were
properly snbmitted to tbe jury, and the charge
of the' Judge was a dear statement of the law
the administrator had
governing it; that if
charged himself with the debt, and beaame
liable therefor, then the original debt was ex
tinguished, and the note gtfefi to him individu
ally was a novation, the consideration of which
was the money advanoed, and there being suf
ficient evidence to sustain the charge of the
oourt, and the verdict of tbe jury, the conrt
below refusing, a new trial ought not to be in
terfered with or set aside;
Held, again, It is only in oases where there
has been no novation of the contract, and tbe
consideration is a slave or the hire thereof, that
the Courts of this State are inhibited from exer
cising j urisdiction nnder tbe Constitution. Bnt
when payments have been made npon notes
liven since Jane, 1865, questions of facts aris
ing under top pleadings npon suite brought to
enforoe such debts, when snoh consideration is
denied and issne joined thereon, are the subject
matter of judicial investigation to be submitted
to a jury, npon evidence admitted nnder the
code of law.

ed his bill and took ont a proceeding as an in

and Z. was in consequence pnt in possession,
and R. ousted, and R., immediately on his re
turn, made the affidavit, bnt the Sheriff refused
to receive or act npon it.
Hdd, That a bill setting np these facts, and

fairly obtained nnder oolor of legal process, is
not demurrable for want of equity, or because

Harry Camp vs. James M. Pace, Administra
tor. Injunction from Newson.
Warner, J:—A bill was filed by the adminis
trator of Charles Camp, alleging that his intes
tate had obtained a judgment against Henry
Camp, which had become dormant, that a scire
facias was pending to revive it, that Henry
Camp had obtained a judgment against the com
plainant as administrator for services rendered
his intestate, which last mentioned judgment,
was not dormant and on which an execution had
issued, and been levied on the property of com
plainants intestate in satisfaction thereof, the
bill prayed for an injunction, and that the debt
due Camp on the dormant judgment might be
oredited on, or set-off against the judgment ob
tained by him which was not dormant, alleging,
that Henry Camp was insolvent. There was a
demurrer to the bill, and a motion to dissolve the
injunction on the filing the defendant’s answer,
the court below overruled the demurrer, and
refused to dissolve the injunction.
Held, That a Court of equity will entertain a
bill, for the purpose of settibg-off a debt due on
a dormant judgment when a scire facias Is pend
ing to review it, against a judgment which is
not dormant, when the plaintiff in the latter
judgment is insolvent, and enjoin the collection
of the judgment which is not dormant until the
dormant judgment shall be revived, nnlesssome
good legal reason be shown why the dormant
judgment cannot be revived; that there was no
error in tho Conrt below in overruling the de
murrer to the complainant’s bill, and that this
Conrt vrill not control the discretion of the Conrt
below on the statement of facts contained

Warner, J.—When, on the trial of an action
of ejectment for the recovery of a tract of land,
the main point in controversy was whether the
bond for the title nnder which the defendant
claimed was a genuine bond, or a spurious or
forged paper title, and the evidence upon that
point being conflicting, the jury fonnd a ver

as to the charge of the conrt in submitting that
question to the jury:
Held, That a motion for a new trial, on the
ground that the verdict was strongly and de
cidedly against the weight of evidence, and
without evidence to support it, and contrary to
law and the charge of the conrt was prop
erly annulled by the conrt below, there be
ing sufficient evidence in the record to sustain
the verdict of which the jury were the proper

James H. Beall vs. Oliver G. Hill. Distress
warrant from Upson.
Warner J.—An affidavit was made before
Judge of tho Snpreme Conrt, on the 15th of
November, 1869, to obtain a distress war
rant for rent not due, alleging that Hill, tbe
tenant, was justly indebted to Beall, the land
lord, the snm of two hundred and twenty dol
lars for the rent of thirty acres of land, that the
rent note was not dne until toe 15th day of De
comber, 1859; bnt that Hill, the tenant, is re
moving, and has removed, a large portion of
his crop from the land, the said note being un
paid. Hill, the tenant, filed a counter affidavit,
in which he simply alleged that the snm dis
trained for rent was not dne, without negativ
ing the fact that he was removing the crop
made on the land. On the trial of the case, the
plaintiff’s counsel demurred to the defendant’s
affidavit as being insufficient in law, and moved
conrt to dismiss the same, which motion the
conrt overruled. Afterwards, on motion of de
fendant’s counsel, the conrt dismissed the
plaintiff’s affidavit, on the ground that a Judge
of the Superior Conrt was not authorized by
law to issne a distress warrant:
Held, That the conrt erred in not sustaining
the plaintiff’s demurrer to the defendant’s affi
davit and dismissing the same, as it did not
deny the fact alleged in the plaintiff’s affidavit,
that he was removing the crop from the land,
which was the sole ground for taking out the
distress warrant against him by plaintiff nnder
toe 2259th section of the Code. If the question
as to the authority of the Jndge.of the Superior
Conrt to issue a distress warrant, was now an
original question before this conrt, we should
be inclined to hold that he did have snch au
thority nnder the general powers conferred npon
that offioer, by the Constitution and laws-of the
State; bnt the decisions of this oourt in Hol
land vs. Brown, I5th Geo. Rep. 113, and Keaton
vs. McDonald, 24th Geo. Rep. 166, limit the
authority to issne snch warrants to a Justice of
the Peace; the 4ih section of the Act of 1865-66
applies only to the question of tenants holding
oyer, and not to the question of issuing distress
warrants for rent:
Hdd, That the distress warrant issued by the
Judge of the Superior Conrt was properly dis
missed by the oourt below.'

the Relief Law of 1868, Newton.
MoOay, J.—'Where in a proceeding nnder the
Relief Law of 1868, setting np an equitable
defense against a jndgment obtained in I860,
it was alleged in the motion that tbe defendant’s
intestate (then in life) had, daring the war, in
1863, sold a valuable real estate, on the assur
ance of the plaintiff that he would reoeive in
payment of his judgment the proceeds, and it
appeared in evidence that the plaintiff had
agreed to reoeive “bank billsthat the defend
ant is intestate, had sold his said estate, taking
as part of the consideration “bank bills,” then
worth one for five of currency, and had by his
agent, the Sheriff of the connty, tendered to
ilaintiff bank bills to the fall amount of the
, udgment, which he refused, and the bills were
eft with the Sheriff, who exchanged them for
Confederate money, and Confederate bends,
and thq whole was lost; and the jury fonnd
the execution satisfied, and the judge refused a
new trial:
Held, That whilst this conrt is not exactly
satisfied with the verdiot, it not appearing pos
itively that the agreement to take toe bills was
before the sale by the defendant of his property,
yet, as there was evidence from which this
might fairly be inferred, this oourt will not con
trol the discretion of the conrt below in refusing
new trial.
It is not error in the oourt below to refuse
to make a change requested in writing, if tbe
same be not pertinent to the evidence.
