[LocmtASE, C. J.—When a party was indicted
tnpc, and the evidence consisted of the
matrix, who testified she and her husband
t together to see the defendant, a physician,
|ii she went into an adjoining room to that
srkasband was in, and tho doctor tried to kiss
e, and out of this room into a small bedroom
Mho purpose of medical examination, where
t crime was committed, and that she resisted
v . all her strength, and screamed more than
! at the top of her voice, and five witnesses
s close by the room, one in a bath with on-
i partition between, all near to the room,
sing and repassing, and heard no noise or
^tams, and saw her come out of the room,
i testified that they saw no appearance of
nhiag unusual, and Court charged the jury
|i follows :
"It is a rule that a witness swearing positive-
To a fact, is to bo believed in preference to
By sho swear negatively to the same fact,
at they did not see or hear it. If the exist-
[** of a fact be sworn to by one credible wit-
tts. and many other witnesses who were in a
teation to see or hear it, testify that they did
pt ste or hear it, or know that it transpired,
are bound to regard the testimony given by
1^ witness who swears positively, in preference
Isttose who swear negatively.”
I While the general rule is, that other
being equal, positive ovidenee prepon-
Ihates over negative evidence, the charge of
liteonrt was error, under the facts of this case,
Is stating the role too strongly, that the jury

YoCay, J., concurred.
Washes, J.. dissenting.—Tho defendant was
I adicted for tho crime of rape on tho person of
I jhry Meyer, a married woman, who, with her
I -: : .band, went to the office of the defendant
I who was a physician) for the purpose of con-
I "Jting him in relation to a female complaint,
Jith which sho was afflicted at the time. The de-
•ttdsnt took her into his private bed-room for
*-* purpose of making an examination of her
teen, where tho crime was alleged to have
^en committed. On the trial of tho case tho
found the defendant guilty, when a motion
*u made for a new trial on general grounds,
*hich was overruled by the court; whereupon
Be defendant excepted,, and bos brought his
Use before this court for review. There was
t error in tho court below in ruling out tho
[udence of Mary Meyer (after the same had
‘J*® admitted) that she had an illegitimate
'aid by one Croft prior to her marriage with
Cw present husband, as such evidence was not
^opetent for the purpose of showing her gon-
I bad character at the time tho crime was
^egtd to have been committed; general bad
i g^racter, as to want of chastity, cannot be
i own by proof of a specific fact which occurred
;®g anterior to tho commission of the offence,
mere was no error in the court ruling ont the
ndence of Spencer, the Justice of tho Peace,
t.;!?, , ® ,on d had sworn on tho committing
»i before him, as the evidence on that trial
I.? * >e6 u reduced to writing, and was then
„, t0 Iho court, and was the best evidence
” to what the witness did swear on that trial,
Lrf mor ?. e8 P eci4 Uj as Spencer stated he had
recollection as to what tho witness did
except by reference to the record of
<■ evidence then before him. The charge of
««wt to the effect of affirmative and nega*
testimony, as applicable to tho facts proved
was a fair substantial exposi-
l “ e law of evidence upon that question.
. .. r fevi^wing the entire chargo of tho court
w in view of the facts contained in tho
wr d> there is no error in that charge which
will in my judgment authorize this court to in
torfero and grant a now trial. In looking
through the entire record and considering al 1
the grounds taken in the motion for a new trial,
I find no error which will entitle tho defendant
to a rehearing of the case, under the repeated
rulings of this court, on similar motions made
°? trial of criminal Cases, and as the presi-
ding judge was satisfied with the verdict, and
there being sufficient evidence in the record to
sustain it if the jury believed the witnesses,
who were the exclusive judges of their credi
bility, this court ought not to interfere and set
it wide. The criminal laws of the State should
be firmly executed by the courts, and when a
verdict of guilty has been rendered on compe
tent evidence, that verdict should not be set
aside for alleged errors committed on the trial,
unless tho finding of tho jury would havo prob
ably been different bnt for the alleged errors
complained of. Tho certainty of punishment for
the violation of the public laws of tho State is
the only safo protection for society, and when
the public authorities, charged with the per
formance of this duty, fail to perform it, those
who are injured, either in person or property,
will seek to redress their own wrongs instead of
appealing to the legal tribunals of the country.
L. J. Garlrell and Henry Jackson, for plain
tiff in error.
E. P. Howell, Solicitor General, for the State.
Bobert Baugh, Superintendent Western and
Atlantic Bailroad, vs. McDaniel & Strong. Ac
tion on the case, etc., from Fulton.
McCay, J.—The Western and Atlantic Bail-
road was songht to bo made liable for the loss
of eight hags of cotton sent from Atlanta to
New York, and which the said road had deliver
ed to the next connecting railroad on the lino,
and it appeared that the Western and Atlantic
Bailroad had given two receipts for two lots of
cotton, portions of each of which lots were lost
beyond their line. One of which receipts sim
ply acknowledged the receipt of the cotton and
that it was consigned to New.York, by way of
Johnsonville, and tho other contained the same
acknowledgment, but was headed: Western and
Atlantic Bailroad, East Tennessee and Georgia
Bailroad, Virginia and Tennessee, and Orange
and Alexandria Bailroads, and had endorsed
upon it, “Through freight contract." And it
was in evidence by the shipper that the cotton
was delivered to be shipped to New York; also
in evidence by the railroad that there was an
arrangement between it and the other roads,
fixing tho amount each road would charge for the
carriage of freight over its road, but no other
arrangement, and that this was a through
freight contract:
Held, 1. The Western and Atlantic Bailroad
having been built by the State to carry freight
and passengers between Atlantic and Chatta
nooga, it is a matter of grave donbt if its offi
cers can charge tho State with a contract to car
ry freight beyond its terminus to distant points
over other roads.
2. That, at any rate, such a contract will not
be implied, bnt must appear to have been dis
tinctly made.
3. That there is nothing in the evidence ad
duced in this case to make such a special con
tract, or to take the case out of the rule pre
scribed in section 2,058 of the Eevised Code,
which is as follows:
“Where there are several connecting roads
under different companies, and goods are in
tended to be transported over more than one
railroad, each company shall be responsible to
its own terminus and until the delivery to the
connecting roads.”
Judgment reversed.
Lochbane, C. J., concurred
Waexeb, J., dissenting.—This was an action
brought by the plaintiff against tho Superin
tendent of the Western & Atlantic Bailroad, to
recover the value of eight bales of cotton al
leged to have been delivered by the plaintiffs
to tho defendant at Atlanta, to be transported
to Schaefer & Co., New York, which were lost
The original railroad receipt for the cotton was
also lost; there was a substituted receipt offered
in evidence, signed by the agent of tho road,
dated 1st November, 1865, headed: Western
and Atlantic, East Tennessee and Virginia,
Virginia and Tennessee, and Orange and
Alexandria Bailroads, through freight contract,
for thirty-seven hales of cotton, consigned by
McDaniel & Strong, to A. C. Schaeffer & Co.,
New York. One of the plaintiffs testified that
the cotton was delivered to the Western and
Atlantic Bailroad for transportation to their
agent in New York, that eight bales of tho
cotton had never been received there, by their
agent, Baugh; the then Superintendent of the
road, testified that at the time the cotton was
shipped, ho had made an agreement with the
intermediate roads from Atlanta to New York,
for through rates of freight on cotton, and that
this was a through freight contract. Tho Court
charged tho jury “that it was competent for the
defendant to contract to deliver goods beyond
the terminus of its road, and if the defendant
did make a special contract to deliver the cot
ton in New York, he would be liable for any
loss that occurred beyond the terminus of his
road, or after delivery to the next connecting
road." To which charge of the court, the de
fendant excepted. Under the provisions of
the 975th section of tho Code, tho Superintend
ent of the Western and Atantic Bailroad had
the power and authority, to make a contract
with the shipper for tho transportation and de
livery of goods beyond the terminus of its road.
25th Ga. ltep. 228 that the 2058th sectiop of
the Code, regulates the liability of connecting
railroads in this State, when the goods are in
tended to be transported over more than one
railroad, to the consignee thereof, that is to say,
if goods are shipped from New York to Macon
via Western and Atlantic Bailroad, and should
be lost between Chattanooga and Macon, and
the consignee should suo the Western and At
lantic Bailroad for them, and prove the receipt
of the goods by the latter read, it would be a
good defence to show that the goods had been
safely transported over that road, and delivered
in good order to the Macon and Western Boad.
By the 2040th section of tho Code, which
adopts the common law rule, the carrier Pliable
for the loss of the goods, unless it was occa
sioned by the act of God, or the public enemies
of tho State. If the Western and Atlantic.
Bailroad had received goods at Chattanooga to
be transported to Macon, and tho same bad
been lost, and that road had been sued by the
consignee thereof, for the goods, it would not
have been a good defense under tho common
law rule, to have shown that the goods had
been delivered to the Macon and Western,
a connecting road, bnt the 2058th section
of the Code changes that common law lia
bility so far as to allow the Western and
Atlantic Bailroad to show that the goods
were delivered to the connecting road in
good order, and makes the last company receiv
ing the goods in good order, responsible to the
consignee therefor, that is the legal effect of
the 2058th section of the Code. Bnt if the

They are silent as to the details of tho negotia

The delegates from the party of conciliation
report that Thiers, though unwilling to discuss

found that there was such a special contract,

The Washington Patriot emphatically main
tains that no Democrat was justified in absence
from his seat while too Shellabarger Ku-klux
bill was pending, and that every pair made was
an unwarranted concession from its opponents.
The record proves that the most odious features
of the bill were retained by tho absence of five
Democrats, two of whom were Southern men.
That responsibility is fixed, and cannot bo
altered.
Seventeen Democratic members aid not an-
swer to their names when the amnesty bill

"Washington, April 15.—The full synopsis of
tho Senate proceedings on amnesty: Bobert-
son moved to take np his amendment to tho or
der of business, so as to allow tho House Am
nesty bill to bo considered at the present ses
sion. Conkling remarked that this being Sat
urday, the Senate was vory thin. A number of
Senators having left too city with the under
standing that only executive business would be
considered, be hoped the motion would be de
ferred till next week. Koberlson replied ho
liad given five days proviovs notice of the mo
tion, and insisted npon a vote. Trumbull did
not the Senate so thin as represented. It
was the fullest Senate he had over known for a
Saturday, and ho hoped no friend of amnesty
way, and thought the time had come to act np
on the subject, and he would so vote.
Chandler moved for an executive session,
which was lost by a vote of 16 to 25. Morrill
of Vermont, submitted a proposition withdraw
ing objection to Bobertson’s motion, on condi
tion that a final vote on amnesty should not be
taken until the Ku-klu5*bill had passed both
houses. Eobertson acquiesced, but several
Senators declined to be bonnd by any snch ar
rangement. Sawyer was of the opinion that,
after toe bill which passed yesterday, no more
opportune moment than toe present could be
found for passing the amnesty bill. His own
belief bad been that there was an understand
ing that the subject should be considered to
day. Cameron and Frelinghuysen urged that a
vote bo deferred npon the pending motion.
During further discussion Trumbull charged
that the efforts of the opponents of the bill for
delay were purposely designed to defeat action
on the measure, and he warned its friends that
it would be next to impossible to have it acted
upon if they now allowed it to go over. Fre
linghuysen then renewed the motion for an ex
ecutive session, npon which Thurman demand
ed the yeas and nays. Carried—ayes 31, nays 24.

The barometer has fallen decidedly, with in
creasing north-westerly wind on toe Paoifi
coast. The low pressure whioh was oentral on
Friday evening in Nebraska has moved south
ward to Louisiana and eastward with very light
rain at a few points. It is now central over
southern Georgia with cloudy and threatening
weather in its immediate neighborhood. Clear
or partially cloudy weather has generally pre
vailed north and east of Tennessee with light
winds on the Atlantic coast and fresh north
westerly winds on toe npper Lakes where toe
high pressure of last night and this morning
now begins to diminish. Probabilities—It is
probable that the slight disturbance on toe
Southern coast will pass away without increas
ing. Cloudy weather with fresh northeast winds
will probably be experienced Sunday from Lake
Erie to Superior. Fresh winds probable for
the Eastern States; falling barometer and

Masonic Banquet to Earl de Grey
The Hasonio Fraternity of the District of Co
lumbia gave a banquet in toe Masonio Temple,
Washington, last Monday, to Earl de Grey,
President of the British High Commission and
Grand Master of England. The Masons assem
bled numbered 170, including eight Senators
and three members of the House. LordTeu-
terden, Sir John McDonald, the son of Sir Staf
ford Northcote, and L. E. Strange, Secretary
of tho British Legation, were also guests on
the occasion. When Earl de Grey was escorted
into the Grand Lodge room he was invited to
ccupy toe Grand Master’s chair, and after a few
minutes had passed Grand Master Stansbury
delivered an address, breathing the warmest
words of fraternal welcome.
Earl DeGrey, in response, spoke as follows:
“Most Worshipful Sir and Brothers—I trust
you will permit me to return to you and to the
Grand Lodge of the Distriot of Columbia my
most grateful thanks for the very kind and fra
ternal welcome which yon have given mo on
this occasion. I assure yon, sir, that I esteem
it the greatest honor to have tons been received,
and to havo had toe opportunity of being pre
sented by yon to the Grand Lodge of the £
trict of Columbia, an honor whioh I am well
aware I owe not to my personal worth, but to
the fact, and the most important and significant
fact, that I am the representative of the Grand
Lodge of England, holding the eighest position
that can be conferred on a Mason in England—
that of Grand Master—and, sir, I esteem this a
most fortunate occasion; fortunate for me
an individual, and fortunate for Ma
sonry in both countries, that there should
at length have taken place so close a union
between Masonry in America and Masonry in
England, and that yon should now, for toe first
time aB you tell me, receive within toe walls of
this important Grand Lodge of Freemasons the
Grand Master of England. We all know that
fraternity is the first principle of Masonry, and
thererore it is that all must rejoice at every
thing which tends to bind more closely together
Masons of different countries. I, sir, esteem
myself very fortdnate indeed to have had it in
my power to attend here to-night I shall carry
away from this Grand Lodge toe most grateful
recollections of your kindness; I shall make it
my first duty to tell my brethren in England of
the magnificent receptionwhichhasbeenaccord-
ed to their Grand Master to-night, and I am con
fident I do not misinterpret the feeling with which
they will receive toe information. When I see
them they will indeed rejoice that toe first step
ha3 been taken which will tend to a closer and
more intimate union between American and
English Masons. [Great applause.] A union
whioh for my part I havo always believed exist
ed, bat whioh I believe will be closer and more
intimate in future.
O. F. Stansbury wore the apron and sash and
nsed the gavel which formed part of the insigna
of Washington. None bnt Masons were admit
ted to any of toe ceremonies. Even toe cater
ers, servants and musicians belonged to the fra
ternity.

What a precious set of rascals these carpet

Every day develops some new villainy as the
rogues fall out. The latest is a conspiracy for
building a railroad in Georgia, in whioh Sena
tor Osborn, of Florida, his brother, who ap
pears to be a New York divine, and cx-Repre-
sentative Hamilton, of the former State, fignre
conspicuously. We gather the story from toe
Tribune's Washington correspondence of the
10th instant, bo that there can be no ‘‘rebel
lies ” in the matter. The writer says:
The Hon. C. M. Hamilton, ex-member of
Congress, from Florida, has made some sweep
ing charges of corruption against Senator Os
born of that State; against A. S. Osborn, of
Brooklyn, represented to be a brother of the
Senator and a minister; and against several
other persons interested, during toe Forty-first
Congress, in toe passage of a bill “granting
lands to aid in the construction of certain rail
roads.” Three letters are printed here to-day,
each dated at Brooklyn, addressed to Mr. Ham
ilton and signed ‘ ‘A. O. "Osborn.” The first un
folds the plans of the company, and states that
stock had then (February 14, 1870,) been al
ready issued, some of which was to be used at
Tallahassee, in order to obtain a grant of State
land, and some at Atlanta for the purpose of
scouring the right of way andasnbsidy of $12,-
000 per mile from toe St. Mary's river to Mil
ieu. The letter continues:
“If you and your adherents, led by Purman,
go for it, it can be passed, with the aid of toe
stock Stearns has, over toe Governor’s veto,
should he veto it But, with your influence, I
am in hopes he wonld sign it We could give
him a share, if he desired it of stock or of land.
Should you see fit to do so, your position in
the company will be made all yon could desire.
If yon desire it you shall be given toe same
amount of stock as is now held by Senator Os
born ($250,000 worth), and thus placed npon
an entirely equal footing. If yon desire, far
ther, a place in the Board of Directors, I will
undertake to secure the resignation of ono of
toe New York men, and your election in his
place.”
In the second letter, General Hamilton is of
fered two thousand five hundred shares, in ad
dition to that which had already been “sub
scribed for him by his friend,” giving Mm an
interest of five hundred thousand dollars in the
road, if he wonld help the matter in Congress.
The third letter, dated June 28, 1870, cMdes
Mr. Hamilton for his failure to co-operate thus
far, and adds:
“Should you remain of toe same mind toward
tMs bill throughout this session, we can, of
course, anticipate nothing more favorable next
session. As we cannot, therefore, look for suc
cess during your term, it becomes a matter of
vital importance that a man be returned who
will co-operate with us in toe next Congress for
the development of these pnblie works. If the
bill giving grants of land to aid in the con
struction of those two trunk lines of railroad,
wMch has already passed the Senate, fails in
toe House this session, you will not be nomi
nated or elected to Congress, if the friends of
this bill, by tho use of any and every honora
ble means in their power, can possibly prevent
it. Should yon yet take hold notively, and se
cure the passage of the bill before toe session
closes, none of the friends of that bill oould,
as snch, oppose your nomination.”
General Hamilton, in Ms affidavit, also
charges that one H. M. Alberger, representing
himself to be Secretary of the Company, did,
in July, 1870, call upon Mm and offer Mm, in
addition to the stock already tendered, a
check on a New York bank for twenty thousand
dollars, if he wonld support toe bilL General
Hamilton denies that he was influenced by any
of these offers or threats, but that he objected
to the passage of the bill when reached in its
order on the Speaker’s table, on the 3d of
March. Senator Osbom is out of town to-day,
and cannot, therefore, make an immediate re
ply to these charges.
Putting the Scbews to the People.—The
tariff on wood screws of less than two inches
in length is eleven cents per pound. The price
of tho screws in England is from eight to nine
cents per pound. The duty is, therefore, from
125 to 150 per cent. The gross value of impor
tations of screws over an inch and a half in
length last year was $29,000. The dnty is,
therefore, proMbitory. The amount of inter
nal revenue tax at ten per cent, paid by the
manufacturers of wood screws in toe United
States last year was $122,692.16, showing that
their business amounted to $1,226,920. The
tariff tax paid by toe people to them was, there
fore, a good deal over a million dollars. These
facts are shown at length by tho World, of toe
12th. Every wood screw used pays a bonus of
more than its value to half a dozen manufac
turers in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Penn
sylvania. When a man is screwed np in Ms
coffin Ms estate comes down handsomely for a
tribute to those fellows. They are “protected”
handsomely.
The Fbenoh Civil Was.—Evidently the Ver
sailles government is making no progress, so
far against the Communists, and it looks very
much as if they were crawfishing. If MoMahon
withthe main force of the National Assembly is
at Benil, they have fallen back a good ways
from Conrbevoie and Nenilly. Benel is on the
Versailles road, midway between Versailles and
Fort Yalerien. Oluseret, the Insurgent Gener
al, is therefore probably right in reporting a
general repulse of the Versailles troops, and the
loll in operations is due to toe fact that McMa
hon has fonnd it necessary to wait ior reinforce
ments and better organization. It is stated
that loyal troops are fast concentrating at Ver
sailles, and meanwhile the insurgents must be
increasingly embarrassed every day by the
growing scarcity of supplies.
Rev. E. W. Wabben.—We learn with muoh
regret that Bev. E. W. Warren, Pastor of the
First Baptist Church in Macon, has accepted
toe call of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta,
and will remove to that city about the first of
May next. The church in Atlanta makes an.
exceedingly valuable acquisition in securing
toe services of Mr. Warren. His pastorate in
Macon, and "Ms whole professional end social
life here have been full of good fruits—strong
in the happiest results npon all interests and
classes, and he will leave behind a substantial
record, and a hearty appreciation wMoh will
ever be a pleasant and profitable memory. We
will recur to this matter again.
Congbessional UsuBPATioN,—Gen. Slocumb,
Democrat at that, has introduced into Con
gress a bill to charter a company to build a
submerged tubular bridge from New York to
Brooklyn. Now as East River is wholly within
the jurisdiction of theBtate of New York, that
bill, if passed, would be as heavy apiece of
usurpation as we know of. The id«» of a sub
merged iron Tabular Bridge under East Biver
strikes us as a better one iuan that of the bridge
now in course of obstruction, a hundred and
sixty feet above tide-water. The bill makes
the tup~*l “a post road,” and covers np the
trio* in that way.
New Jeesey slew toe Radicals generally at
the town eleotions last Tuesday. At Patterson
the Radicals could not stand it- Finding the
votes going in heavily against them, abont 3
o’clock in the afternoon they charged on the
polls, drove away the inspectors, smashed toe
ballot boxes and gave the ballots to the winds
of heaven, by wMch they wore canvassed very
rapidly, in the name of a pure elective fran-
cMse and high moral ideas. Thi3 would havo
been a Mgh old outrage if the Democrats "had
done it.

Affairs in Eufaula.—Tho Bluff City Times
of Thursday says business is reviving in Eu
faula, judging from the immense amount of
freight wMch is crowding toe new and commo
dious brick river warehouse of Jno. O. Martin,
Esq. TMs he attributes, in a measure, to the
competition between railroad and river transpor
tation between Mobile andNew Orleans. Indeed,
there is no reason why boating on toia river
should not be always brisk. Mr. Martin showed
us some freight bills of merchandise consigned
to Mm, fromwMch we learned that freights
fromNew Orleans to tMs point were atleastone
hundred per cent, less than is charged for the
same class from New York. Groceries and pro-.
visions of all classes are certainly cheaper in
New Orleans than New York, and the same is
doubtless true of a large class of dry goods.
Beegh and his agents are still after toe equine
needle-pads in New York. Two hundred and
tMrty of these instruments of torture have been
removed, daring toe year, from toe bits of car
riage bones. They consist of circular bits of
polished leather, one side being studded with
some tMrty or forty sharp tacks of about half-
an inch in length. TMs side is turned inward,
and the tacks pressing against the animal’s jaws,
toe least movement of toe reins causes them to
penetrate the flesh. The object in view in
using these “burrs” is to “put life” into the an-
mal upon which they are placed.
