’ The Greorgia, 'Weekly r Telegraph and Journal5& Messenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, AUGUST 22 fc87l. News Items* Bobie.—The Pennsylvanians .want to ran Borio for Vice-President—Grant and I^frjie. It onght to be Grant and Jamboree. 1*^ Geoboia Cloveb.—A Greene con*y Tanner reported at the Borne Convention five tons of clover to the acre. -s The Westtield Dead.—'Tfp New Sun of Monday sums np the ric^Skis by this awfnl steamboat explosion, thus^Aead and buried 101; missing 9; reported dlfa 1- Total 111. The Suez Canal.—Movements are said to be on foot to transfer the Suez Canal to a British Company, the means of the present company being insufficient to. prevent the canal from choking up with sand. Geobgza Chops.—The condensed reports of the Georgia cotton crop at tho Borne Conven tion indicate five-eighths of a crop. Com about the same. One-fourth the quantity of guano \ used in’1870, tfifs applied to the growing crop. Royal Potcha§e3 or AmericanReal Estate. —The New York papers say that Louis Napo leon, ox-Emporor, is in treaty for the purchase of Burton’s estate at Glen Cove, for $500,000, and Christiana, ex-Queen of Spain, is negotia ting for tho tlumel estate at $4,000,000. The Alabama Cotton Chop.—A correspon dent of the Montgomery Advertiser says the growing crop of Alabama will bo shorter than any raised since tho war, and will not exceed that of 18CG. The corn crop is settled and does not amount to half a crop. Fixing Nobth Carolina.—Tho York Sun re ports a conversation with Gen. Grant at his Cot tage by the sea. Interviewer asks : “ What would you have done if North Carolina had not answered Bepublican anticipation ?” Grant answers, “I have power under the Kn-KInx bill to have made her.” Ice Pbatkbb.—The Baltimore Saturday Night reviews a volume of prayers got up by the Court Chaplain for Hall’s Arctic Expedition. The crowner is a prayer to be said standing around the North Pole. If possible, a white bear is to be made to shinny up the pole, with freedom’s fisg a floating o’er him. The Breaking up of Families.—The heaviest indictment against the Democracy brought by the Central Badical Committee at Washington, is that they are seeking to disturb Grant's fami ly arrangements in the United States. They were always breaking up families in slavery times, and now when slavery is abolished they won’t let ’em alone. A Sensible Leslie—Gov. Leslie, of Ken tucky, in his electioneering speeches stated al ways that departure or no departure, the De mocracy of Kentucky would support the Demo cratic ticket. That is what wo purpose to do. But the Democrats of Georgia don’t want to dragoon the Northern Demooraoy into any ill. considered platforms. Louisiana Ceops.—Generally the Louisiana papers are now complaining of too much wet, and report the appearance of the catterpillar.— They console themselves, however, with tho be lief that in any event half the cotton will be gathered before the worms can do much harm. It rained in New Orleans every day last week, Saturday excepted. The Case Truly Stated.—Tho Hon. Jacob Thompson of Mississippi lately stated to anin- terviewer that tho Southern people will gener ally accept the new departure doctrine; but they will probably be averse to any active par ticipation in the formation of issues for the next Presidential canvass, or in the nomination of the candidate. Radical Ku-klux.—Letters at hand from the South state that the white and colored Republi cans are forming an armed organization under tho name of the National Guard, the object of which is to put down the Ku-klux in some quar ters. The movement excites no inconsiderable alarm. Bryant, a well-known Georgia Repub lican, is mentioned as the head of the scheme in that State. A Duck Stoby.—An East Florida correspond ent of the Montgomery Advertiser, describing bis progress from Brunswick to Femandina by tho inner passage, comes to a place where he says, “Here the water is black with moving life of millions upon millions of ducks, which our boat has to push aside almost before their duck- ships decide upon flight.” The writer should have closed this story with the ducksology in long metre. The Raging Canawl.—Secretary Boutwell has recently rendered the somewhat remarkable decision that Erie canal boats in tow up and down the Hudson are coasting vessels and must be registered, taxed and ruled accordingly by the Federal authorities. New York protests emphatically against this effort to control her domestio commerce, and has directed that the question shall bo tested before the proper legal tribunals. San Domingo.—The first edition of five thou sand copies of the San Domingo report has been exhausted, and the President has just ordered another edition of the same number for distri bution. He has also ordered tho naval squad ron coming along the coast of San Domingo to be reinforced by the return of tho Nipsic, which had been ordered to Pensacola. These now steps in this old project excito comment even in official circles. Miss Yinnie.—A Washington correspondent of the Tribune says Miss Yinnie Reams’ white thing on a pedestal, which she calls a statue of Lincoln, wears a countenance of intense anguish, which is always contemplated with correspond ing misery. Its left hand hangs as if the bono had been broken and then reset by a steam doc tor. He says Miss Yinnie owed that contract to her prayers and tears, both of which she has now transferred to tho public in general. Use of the Abmy.—Tho Now York Commer cial Advertiser (Republican) says that hundreds of families are left defenceless to tho torch and knife of the western savages, while the United States army is scattered over the South hunting “hypothetical Ku-klux." Gen Sherman appeals to the administration and tells them “the army is in no condition to meet tho requirements of ihe war with the Sioux,” but tho party necessi ties of Grant are more imperative than the woes of tho frontier people. Besides, Mr. Advertiser, the frontier people are only whites. Uniyeesity of Geobgia.—We call special at tention this morning to the advertisement of onr State University, to be fonnd in another column. After what wo have said of this institution it would seem that further comment is nnnecessuiy, but,nevertheless, we ask all to read this advertise ment. We are told never to weary in well doing, nd this is decidedly a ease in point. The negroes in East Tennessee need looking after. Tho Knoxvillo Press and Herald, of Wednesday, reports two cases of rape on whito ladies—one upon a married woman in Grceno county, which proved fatal to the victim, and another upon a young lady in Hamblen county. Lowly Ways ; or the Diary of a Poor Young Lady. From the German, by F. E. B. This is the title of an admirable book for the young, just issued from tho press of Messrs. Olaxton, Kemsen & Halfelfinger, of Philadelphia, and for sale at J. W. Barke & Oo.’b bookstore. Cotton stiffened a little yesterday on both sides of the ooean, but we do not ibipk bottom has been reaohed. However, the certainty of a crop much below Mlicipattpn wU/^eapparent before long. * A New Storm-Cloud. The New York Herald, of Thursday, sounds a loud alarm over the recent National Demonstra tion of tho (so-called) Labor Reformers at St. Lonis, and the strong demonstrations they have made and are threatening in American politics. The Herald thinks that possibly they may not be able to make a serious diversion in the Pres idential oanvass next year, but they will there after inaugurate a political agitation more furi ous and powerful than has ever been seen on this continent, and compared with which the violence of the slavery agitation is as nothing. These Labor Reformers are the American In ternationals and Communists. The head-centre in London, during their triumph in Paris, said they were fifty thousand strong in the State of New York alone, and there were over two hun dred thousand of them in the different cities of the United States. It is the Grand Agrarian Or ganization of tho world, and, in a country like ours, where, under Badical ruling, all things are responsive immediately and totally to the ballot, it is no wonder that the Herald should smell and deplore the danger afar off. Tho fow who own tho houses, lauds, stocks and strong boxes of the nation will stand but a slow chance with the many who don’t own them, on the question of an equal division. The National Labor Reformers boldly threw their banner to the breeze in St. Lonis last week. They said the abolition of chattel slavery in the United States left labor still the slave of the mo nopolists—crushed down to tho smallest living compensation by the arts and extortions of mon eyed tyrants. They demand that land, air and water shall bemade free to all, and that “all able-bodied and intelligent persons shall con tribute to the common stock, by fruitful indus try, a sum or quantity equal to their own sup port, and they insist that the State as trustee shall guard, protect and distribute the common earuing3. This is tho London and Paris Inter national platform. Supplementary to these fun damental dogmas, are a score of deliverances against banks, swindling rates of interest, rail way and manufacturing monoplies, a new na tional currency, Chinese labor and so on, which serve as skirmishers, initiatory to the grand battle on the fundamental basis. New England is the theatre where the war will begin, and Ben Batler (so says the Herald) is the gubernatorial standard bearer of the party in Massachusetts. There the votes represent ing employes and wages predominate. That is the reason why Ben could not imagine the possibility of his defeat for Governor before the Radical nominating convention of that State. He thought the convention would bo unwilling to risk a rapture with the “laboring masses.” The Herald says: In the coming Massachusetts election, should General Butler be the labor candidate, he may torn the State topsy-turvy. In this event even the Presidential election of next year may be come a doubtful problem; but in any event, after November, 1872, wo shall have the begin ning of a new political agitation in this country which will hardly stop short of the greatest and most radical and sweeping revolution in the history of the world, and we shall bo fortunate if we escape another general civil war in passing through this approaching revolution. Such are are the signs of the times, and we live in an age of revolutions. Tlie Narrow Grange Engine. Tuskegee, Ala., August 14, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; In one of your papers forwarded to mo from Macon, notice an extract from an Atlanta paper, relat ing to the “ Ku-klnx” narrow gauge engine (re cently received for my road over here) which is an absurdity ; and thinking you might desire trothful description of. thi3 pioneer narrow gauge engine in the Sontb, I enclose yon an extract Irom tho Tuskogeo Nows which is cor rect. Yon will see that the cylinders are 94x12 instead of the 2x12, as that Atlanta genius had it. He also gave its speed at 15 miles per hour, when it will run forty just as easily. To this extract may be added: “ This engine was tested thoroughly last Friday, and it proven a perfect success in every respect. All parties who rodo npon it pronounced it the steadiest and easiest riding locomotive they were ever on. It is splendid piece of machinery, and its speed and stability, as demonstrated daring the test, show conclusively that narrow gauge locomotion is a perfect success in every respect. Tho ‘Kn- klnx’ can make 30 to 40 miles per hour with ease with an ordinary train of cars.” The en gine had not been tested when the enclosed ar ticle was written by the editor of the News: The Ku-klux.—As the engine “Ku-klux” be longing to tho Tuskegeo Railroad has arrived at Ohehaw and been placed upon the Gompany’s track at that place, a brief description of this locomotive may not bo uninteresting to the readers of the News: Tho “Kn-klnx”isthe first narrow gauge engine ever introduced in the Southern States. It is to run between TuBkegee and Chehaw, a dis tance of five and a quarter miles. The gauge of the road is three feet, and it was the first line in this country to adopt that width of track— the pioneer narrow gauges in the North being thirty inches. Since this has been started, all the narrow gauge lines in the United States have adopted the three foot gauge as the standard. The “Ku-klux” is a ten ton engine, with the tank on the boiler. The tank contains three hundred gallons of water; the wood is carried in the cab; the cylinders are nine and one-half inches in diameter, and the stroke of piston twelve inches. The drivers are three feet in diameter, and there are two wheels under the cab and another pair forward of tho drivers, which prevents the rocking motion of the nar. row gauge engines heretofore constructed. The motion of the “Ku-klux” being very steady and easy on the track. The fire-box, guides, eto., are of steel and the flues of iron. The engine is fitted up with a cow-catcher, smoke-stack, bell, eto., and is a perfect miniature engine in every particular. The various parts of this locomotive are in perfect harmony with the general design, and tho whole engine presents one of the hand somest appearing machines in the country. It was constructed at the “Danforth Loco motive and Machine 4701113,” in Patterson, N. J. The road npon which the Kn-klnx will ran is, in every respect, first class and under tho direction of E. M. Grant, the able engineer in charge, will soon be completed and in running order. Grant is a thorough railroad man and knows his business well. And among tho many works that attest his skill as an engineer and architect scattered over tho States of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, the Tnskegee narrow- guage in its appointments, its construction and completedness, in every particular, will not be the least. Pulaski, Houston, Dooly and Wilcox.—The Hawkinsvillo Dispatch, of yesterday says: We have discouraging reports of cotton pros pects in Pulaski, Houston, Dooly and Wilcox and tho adjacent connties. Various causes have damaged the crop to such an extent that two- thirds of a crop will be a large yield. Bo much wet weather first injured the plant, next fol lowed the drontb, and now the rust has made its appearance, though not generally. Fifteen thousand bales were shipped from this place to Macon and Savannah, last year, but this year there cannot be more than eight or nine thou sand bales shipped acoording to tho highest es timate. A few farmer acquaintances report their crops in good condition with pros pects of a fair yield. A majority, however, make adverse statements. Daring tho month of August last, Messrs. Bozeman & Pate received at their warehouse upward of twenty bales of tho new crop, but wa doubt if a fourth as many bales will be brought to market for the same period this season Everything has tended to make tho crop back ward, though in some localities where fertilizers have been liberally used, the fields are present ing many open bolls. . Twenty-foub years ago Eli Stilson estab lished himself in the wilderness of 4718000510, near what is now the flourishing town of Osh kosh. His little farm now has .1,100 acres of as fine land as one ever saw, and tho land alono cannot be worth less than $100,000. He has a neat little white house, no larger or more showy than one would ordinarily see upon a forty acre farm in New England, but his barn is 660 feat in length, an additional section havingbeen put on within the past year. His flock of sheep numbers 1,500. This man is said (o be the i largest and best farmer in Wisconsin, “ " • "' ] Eighty thousand dollars have been subscribed in Columbus to the new bank, not a dollar of which was given by the merchants. The latter will be called on next month, when it is expected the above amount will be swelled to $150,000. A committee from fire companies 1, 2 and 3, of Columbus, have recommended the City Coun cil to consolidate the three companies under the charter of No. 1, provided Council will purchase a steamer with 500 feet of hose, buy horses and bnild an engine house. The directors of tho projected Augusta and Hartwell railway had two meetings in Augusta, last Tuesday, and a contract for the oonstrnction of the road, signed by an English firm, was presented. The Chronicle says it will be con firmed. The city council of Augusta have unanimously agreed to recommend an enlargement of the canal down there, and will provide for its being done, so soon &3 the question is submitted to the people and endorsed by a popular vote. The Savannah dry dock was finished, Tues day, and three vessels taken in. There were seventeen feet of water in the dock, though the tide was not full. About one hundred negro Radicals held a meeting at Savannah, Tuesday night, to “fix up” matters for the next municipal election. Jim Simms, the fiddling ex-Judge, Tunis G. Campbell, the old Ku-kluxer from Darien, and a negro named Howard, from the same place, were the speakers. Simm3 advised the darkies to register and vote for the man who would do most for them, whether Democrat or Radical, while the others advised a straight out fight. Says the Republican, of 47ednesday: Tho Rev. Mr. T. 0. Stanley, pastor of St. John’s (Episcopal) Chapel, npon entering the chapel at ton o’clock that morning, discovered that the sacred edifice had been entered by thieves and considerable valuable property stolen, the loss embracing all the books belong ing to tho chancel, including avery large, hand somely bound bible, fonr prayer books and two altar service books—the two latter, and also the bible, were marked in gilt lettering, “St. Paul’s Free Church.” One of tho prayer books, a large black volume, was highly valaed by tho Rev. Mr. Stanley, as having been twice around the world with him. On the fly-leaf was the insorip - tions “T. C. Stanley, United States ship Savan nah.” The audacious thieves next carried off the entire Sunday school library, embracing up wards of 150 volumes, all in good order. All these books have a printed slip pasted inside the comer, with the words, “St. John’s Sunday School.” Two large oil lamps belonging to the organ were also appropriated, but the shades and chimneys were left on the floor. Pike county shows 857 white, and 578 black polls. Aggregate taxable property $1,887,355, being an increase of $100,000 over last year. Mrs. Mitchell and Rev. Matt McCormick, both well known residents of Fnlaaki county, died a few days sinoe. The Athens 47atchman reports the certainty of a great diminution in the com yield of that section, with a probable falling off in cotton. Says the Era, of yesterday: The Bailboad Meeting Yesteeday.—Pursu ant to announcement, the corporators of the various railroads, chartered at the last session of the Legislature, met at the Kimball House yesterday morning. About twenty-one railroads were represented. The corporators were unan imously in favor of the narrow gauge system. The corporators also agreed to oppose any farther efforts to obtain State aid. 47e clip the following shots from the A Santa Sun, of yesterday: . ’ 4Vhy Retained and Paid?—It seems that number of the higher officers on the State Road, nnder the administration of Gov. Bnliock and Capt. Blodgett—how many we do not know— have retained their places and their pay, from the time the road was tamed over to the lessees till now. 4Vhat wa3 this for ? One or two clerks in the Executive Department could have wound np the unfinished business of tho road, or some person or persons conld have been assigned to that duty, without keeping under pay a routine of high- salaried officers. ■R„f. on imDortant feature in this matter seems to have escaped puouo unouu^,. m.— were largo balances owing to the road by connecting railroads, and other parties. 47e are told that all these balances, as far as they have been col lected, have gone into tho hands of Foster Blod gett. 4Ve would like to know how much of this money has been collected, and how much of it has reached the State Treasury? Will Dr. An- gier inform us? Mb. H. O. Hoyt's Cabd.—47o very cheerfully publish the card of Mr. Hoyt this morning. Ho lias drawn a very large amount of money, over $180,000, which he says he has paid out for wood, cross-ties and ballast. In a personal in terview with ns he stated that he was the pur chasing agent of the road for these three arti cles, and that ho invites a careful examination into the reoords and vonchers in his possession. He told ns yesterday he did not complain of being suspected, if those who entertain suspi cion will but investigate his records and vouch ers fully, whioh he declares himself ready to submit to any mku or set of men at any time. It has frequently been alleged that ho was poor when he went into tho service of the road, and that he is now wealthy, and this allegation we alluded to yesterday. Mr. Hoyt denies this. We have taken the pains to examino his tax re turns for several years, and find the following aggregate for each, a3 returned by him: 1868, $ 8,585. 1870, $19,294. 18C9, 15,772. ‘ 1871, 36,994. 47hile making this examination, we also looked into tho returns made by others, with the following result: N. P. Hotchkiss: 1868, in city real estate, $2,000; 1869 the same, with the addition of $200 worth of furniture; in 1870, nothing; 1871 incity property, $16,500. Neither Gov. Bullock, Foster Blodgett nor A. L. Harris have at any time made any retnm of taxable property in this city. The evidence in tho Hotchkiss case, at At lanta, was conolnded Wednesday. To-day’s At lanta papers will probably inform ns what result was reached. Cotton Futures.—If there is any reasonable deduction to bo drawn from the heavy opera tions in “futures” in New York, daring tho last two months, it is, that planters will be likely to realize a fair price for their cotton this fall, if they will not rash it on the market too fast, as was evidently the case last year. But last year a vast deal of the cotton was forced npon the market, in order to enable the planter to meet his warehouse acceptances and other bills which were as plentiful in this market as the leaves of autumn. Such, however, we are glad to know, is not the case this year,and theplantor, as a general rule, is left free to act with his crop as ho pleases. And in doing so he should bear in mind that hnndreds of thousands of bales of cotton have lately been sold in New York, for future delivery, at from 19 to 20J cents for low middlings—the class, we believe, on which suoh operations are based. It is clear, therefore, that cotton will, or ought to, rale high next fall, or those who bought those futures will lose enormous sum3 of money. If, on the other hand, prices should rule high, those who sold may catch jessie in meeting their contracts. In either view of the case, it appears to ns that the planter holds the tramp cards this season, if he will play them judiciously, and be very careful ■about leading them too early at tho opening of the game. The Amm Circus Teagedy, at Dawson.— Messrs. Weston & Combs, of Dawson, Ga, have just issued a fall pamphlet report of the indictment and trial of the two Kellys, for the murder of Col. 0. T. Ames and David 4V. Oxford at a circus exhibition • in Dawson last fall, including a diagram of the scene of tho homicides, the speeches of the counsel and the charge of the court. This is contained in a pamphlet of 136 pages, handsomely printed by ' W. Burke A Co. It is an intensely interest ing volume, and we hope will meet with a sale which shall reward the compilers for their labor in the premises. London, August 16.—A deputation of French citizens appointed to visit Ireland to thank the people for aid given for the relief of the wound ed during the war with Prussia, has arrived. The people of Dublin are wild with excitement and th« roads leading to the stopping places of tho Frenchmen, became impassable because of the crowds. On 4Vednesday night the oity band perforaers, dressed in green, marohed to the hotel wiere the Frenohmen were stopping and played American, Irish and French national airs; also, sone Fenian tones. There was no inter ference by the police. The deputation reached Shelbnn Hotel at 3 o’clock and in response to calls cane out on the balcony. Martin, a mem ber of Parliament, made an address to the crowd. A son of Marshal McMahon also ar rived with the deputation and was loudly cheered ly thousands of people assembled.

The action of the coroner has caused surprise, as bail toany amount wa3 offered and could have been efien. Judge Southard, how ever, admitted theprisoners to bail. Vander bilt, President, in '.he sum of $25,000, Brai sted, superintended, and Robinson, engineer, $10,000 each. Geirge Law is a bondsman.

Synopsis of Weather Statement. 47ae Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Offices,) 47asbington, D. C., August 17, 7:30 p. m. j Tho area of high barometer which wa3 47ednesday afternoon advancing over 47iscon- sin is now over Southern Michigan, but the pressure is lower than yesterday and a very rapid fall on Lake Saporior has commencod to day. Tho low pressure in New York State has advanced eastward beyond onr stations, and a rising barometer prevails north and east of Penn sylvania. The area of low barometer with in dications of a severe storm, as reported on 47ednesday morning, is probably now central in Southern Florida; but no reports have been received from that region since yesterday morn ing. Light local rain prevailed 47ednesday night from Alabama to Arkansas and through out the Ohio valley, and later in the night on the middle and east Atlantio coast. Cool and clear weatherhos been generally reported to-day from those regions and northward to Lake Su perior. Heavy fires are reported from the coast of Saginaw Bay, with smoke and haze southward and eastward. Frobabilties: South erly wind with local storms Is probable for Frid day north and west of Illinois; clear weather for the interior of New Yoik and New England to-night, followed by cloudy and threatening weather Friday noon or afternoon.

Motion to set aside an order of dismissal. LcchbanEjO. J.—Upon an issue joined to ascer tain whether the defendant was in possession of land for which the note, the foundation of the snit was given, at the commencement of the suit, the death of one of the parties to the note, the survivor being the one to whom the deed was made, would not exclude the plaintiff as a witness from testifying in the case, and it wa3 error in the conit to refuse his evidence. Under the facts of this cose, we are of opinion that defendant had had possession of the land, either by himself or his tenants, and that the jury found against the evidence in finding the contrary, and the court erred in dismissing the case on the ground of the non-payment of taxes nnder the act of October 13, 1870. Judgment reversed. 47orrell & 47imberly for plaintiff. Beale & Gillis for defendant. Pink Green, et. al., vs. State of Georgia. Assault and battery. Lochbane, C. J.—It is not error in the court below to direct tbe testimony to be taken down in a case where the law does not require it. It is not error in the court below to interrupt counsel who are misstating the evidence to the jury, by reading from the notes what was sworn to on the trial. It is not error in the court, when requested by the jury, to read over the evidence, as to such points of facts as the jury inquired of; nor is such action violative of section 4,183 of the Code, which makes it error for any Judge of the Superior Court of this State, in any case, daring its progress or in his charge, to express or intimate Iris opinion as to what has or what has not been proven. Presenting the trath of the facts sworn to to the jury is different from expressing an opinion as to tho faot proven. Judgment affirmed. 47ooten and Hoyle, for plaintiff. 47. Harris and J. A. Taylor, for the State. Kirtland, Babcock & Bronson vs. Martha Da vis. Application for homestea’d. Appeal from Ordinary. Lochbane, O. J.—Upon an appeal from tho judgment of an Ordinary, setting apart a home stead of realty and personalty exemption, it is error in the Court below to restrict the jury to find either for or against the homestead as plat ted. The whole case comes np by the appeal, and tho conrt should administer the law with regard to its terns and provisions. The act of 1869 applies to personalty, and the wife, in making application for exemption of personalty, is bound by the fraud or conceal ment perpetrated by her hnsband, and most perform the provisions of the act of 1869. Judgment reversed. Hood & Kiddoo for plaintiffs. Herbert Fielder for defendant. James 47. Boon vs. H. L. Graves, executor. Motion for continuance. * Lochbane, O. J.—47here a motion for a con tinuance was made on the ground of the impres sion and belief of the defendant, that as coses under tho relief act would be tried, on account of a general announcement of tbe-Judge to that effect, and the case, in the opinion of the conrt, did not fall within the provisions of the announcement: Held, That it was not an error in tbe court to overrule tbe motion for a continuance. 47hare, on a trial of an issue to ascertain whether the note sued on was given for the purchase money of land, it was found affirma tively, and a motion was made for a new trial to allow the defendant to set up his equities arising from losses accrued by the war: Held, That the finding of the jury places the case without the act of 1870, and the equities under the act of 1868, must have been in some manner occasioned by the plaintiff, whioh does not appear in the motion, and we affirm the judgment overruling the same. Judgment reversed. Herbert Fielder, for plaintiff. C.

Garrett, for use of Rawson, vs. A. Cordell et al. Relief of 1870. McCay, J.—The act of 1870, requiring affi davit that all legal taxes have been paid on the claims sued, or suit shall be dismissed, is not in conflict with that section of the Constitution of the State which declares that the court shall render judgment without the verdict of a. jury in all civil cases founded on contract where an issuable defence is not filed on oath- 47abfeb, J.—I simply enter my dissent with the clerk on the ground that that aot violates the Constitution of the United States. EL Fielder, for plaintiff. E. L. Douglass, for defendants. C. M. Lowe vs. 47. A. Rawson.. Relief act of 1870. McCay, J.—The act of October 13, 1870, re quiring the affidavit of the payment of taxes in all pending suits on contracts made before-1st of June, 1865, applies also to pending offsets, the same being cross actions, and in such action the defendant is the same as the plaintiff, and must file the affidavit within the time required by taw. The charge of the conrt in this case, and the verdict of the jury, are sustained by the evi dence, and the conrt did not err in refusing to grant a new trial. - Beale & Tucker, for plaintiff. 4Vimberly, Gil lis and J- T. Clarke, for defendant. Bryant Collins. V3. Bright Miller. Relief act of 1870. Plaintiff a son-resident. MoCay, J.—A promissory note given by citizen of tins State to a citizen and resident of another State, who has never resided here since the note was given, and does not now, and has not kept the note here until it was sued, is not subject to tax in this State, and if snit is pend ing on such note, proof of this fact will excuse the plaintiff, a non-resident, from paying the tax, and from filing tlTe affidavit required by the act of 1870. E. G. Baiford for plaintiff. Wimberly and M. Gillis, for defendant. 4V. L. Scaifo vs. E. H. Bell. Evidence. Lochbane, 0. J.—47here a note was given for an attorney’s fee it is not competent by parol evidence to superadd new agreements or condi tions to such written contraot. The note itself was the best evidence of what tho contract was, and while a failure of consideration, in whole or part, may be given in evidence, new condi tions or agreement cannot. Judgment affirmed. Moses & Downing for plaintiff. E. H. Beale for defendant. Kessiah Ford vs. H. & O. B. Adams, adminis trators, ot al. Suit on administrator’s bond. Lochbane, O. J.—A bond was given by an administrator, bearing da to January 9, 1865, without the attestation of the Ordinary, bnt npon the minutes of the Court of Ordinary of tho same date appeared an order reciting the fact that the administrator had given bond with good security, and ho approved the same as a good bond: Held, that under the Code of this State, this bond, being bysucb; order of the Ordinary, upon the minutes, approved as a good bond, it was error to reject it in evidence on the ground that it was invalid because of the absence of such attestation. Judgment reversed. 47orrcll for plaintiff. M. Gilli3 and E. H. Beale, for defendant. Thomas Leay vs. Smith Treadwell, In equity. Lochbane, C. J.—Where a trial is had in equity and the jury relumed their verdict and a motion made for a new trial was overruled, and tho judgment brought to this court and the judgment affirmed by operation of law in the dismissal of the case; such judgment of affirm ance is conclusive upon all the parties as to the merits and the grounds embraced in tbe motion for a new trial and cannot subsequently be re viewed or reheard by the court. And where a bill was brought asserting no new grounds of equity, it wa3 proper to dismiss the same for want of equity. The failure to enter the decree, at the term the verdict was rendered, is no new ground for equitable interference to set aside the verdict; bnt it was the duty of the court to enter suoh decree by an order nunepro time. Judgment affirmed. deGraffenried &■ Irvin for plaintiff. Wooten, Walker &, Harper for defendant. George A. Mercer vs. A. J. Mercer. Trover. MoCay, J.—When in an action of trover it was in proof that the property for which the plaintiff sued, and to which tho plaintiff showed title, was at the house of the defendant, though there was no proof of any use of the same by her: . Held, that this was some evidence of posses sion by the defendant, and it was error in the court to withdraw the cause from the jury and grant a non-suit.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; Having seen nothing in your valuable journal relative to the crops, news, eto., in this remote region, for some time, I propose giving you a few jot tings, which you may consign to your waste basket or a place in your columns, as yon please. The corn crop of ’71 may be said to be made, which, from a multiplicity of canses, falls'short in quantity of the crop of last year. Still, with proper economy, enough will be made for home use. . There was but very little Western or shipped corn used by our farmers this year, and I confidently believe that the increased acre age, devoted to the present crop of this cereal, will fully make up the deficit in production. Colton is not looking so well as it was three weeks ago. The struggle between “the weed” and “Gen. Grass” has been severe indeed, and if cotton is the victor, which in several instances is questionable, it is greatly ‘battle scarred,’ and its ranks have lost greatly—being reduced to not much over half a stand, which had pre viously died out from tho cold of the spring. These “wounds and sears” have proven them selves great barriers to the strong, fall growth and development, which the Btalk would have attained had the spring and early summer months been propitious. Add to this the great falling off in the use of commercial manures, and we have another great reduction from an average yield. The rust and boll worm have made their ap pearance and are at their work of deadly de struction, causing tbe stalk to become dry, hard and yellow, and the frnit to fall to the ground. Many sections are suffering greatly for rain. The refreshing showers that have fallen during the post two weeks have been partial indeed, and have interfered greatly with fodder pulling. The freedmen of this vicinity are having a “rousing” meeting in tho neighborhood, and ben roosts are the scenes of nightly “squalls.” This also interferes with their labors in the field. If the seasons are favorable from now till crops are gathered, old Dooly may turn out a half crop, which is the general estimate of some of the oldest farmers in tbe county. Wo have no agricultural club in this section, as yet, through which to make our report, not withstanding they are all aronnd us, one hav ing been formed recently at Spalding, a thrifty villago, two miles from Montezuma. The citi zens of this flourishing place have proven their spirit of advancement, by erecting in their midst a fine seminary for the education of the young, which, nnder tho care of Rev. W. C. 47ilkes, (former President of the Female College at For syth), is steadily and surely winning for itself that fame as an institution of learning which it undoubtedly merits. But enough, as I fear I am only going over ground already traversed by every one of your readers who reside south of your own “City of Mansions,” Macon.

M ANY a human being has passed away, for who-e death there was no other reason than tho neglect of known and indisputably proven mean3 of cure. Those near and dear to family and lriends aro sleep- in ? the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DB. JOSEPH H. SCHEXCK’S SISIPEE TREATMENT, and availed themselves of his wondorfal odcaciom medicines, tbey would not have fallen. Dr. Scheuci ha3 in his own case proved that wherever eullicien: vitality remains, that vitality, by hla medicines aid his directions for their use, is quick-nod into health- fill vigor. In this statement there is nothing presumptuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no rcpro-:cntatioa that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s medicines is as simple as it is unlading. Yours, truly, “Cassius.” The City Money.—Hero and elsewhere, since the business-like and straightforward letter of Mayor Huff, in regard to the city finances, ap peared, there has been an effort on the part of a few to depreciate the city money, and make a big fuss over the city’s liabilities. It is all bosh. The money is as good as any, and better secured than greenbacks. Just wait awhile, ye weak-kneed and frightened, until a fair assess ment of the taxable property of Macon is made, and yon will then see what the money is worth, Think of it. What is $200,000 to a city like Macon? 47hy, sirs, before .one dollar of her currency should go by the board or be repudi ated, the whole amount could be raised in thirty days. The city is in debt, it is true, just like all other cities, bnt we deny emphatically that it is hopelessly so, or that tbe whole debt could not be paid easily within three years. But why, we ask, should our property holders be subjected to a heavy and special tax in "order to remove immediately the city’s indebtedness? 47ho is suffering for the money ? and what is the neces sity of all this hullabaloo about the city’s finan cial affairs. Let us go along patiently—pay the interest on the debt as it falls due; give the city government a cordial and liberal support, and not seek to embarrass it by croaking and crowd ing ; and let each real estate owner in the city pay taxes according to a fair estimate of its value, and our word for it, there will soon be no cause for grumbling about the city money from any quarter. Crops in the Middle Counties.—A friend who has passed over a good deal of country writes us at Prattsburg, Talbot county, in a very despondent vein. He says: “ The crop3 are comparatively a failure. Tho excess of rain in the spring, followed by the drouth of mid-sum mer, have left the cotton plant in a very feeble condition, and much of it is diseased. It is a great relief to see a more promising state of things in Talbot. Talbot would do pretty well but for the irregular stand. Every where else, whether on new or old lands, valleys or hillsides, great barren spots are -risible in the fields.” He reports the planters greatly discouraged. two weapons with which the citadel of the ma’ady assailed. Two-thirds of the case:: of consnmptii originate in dyspepsia and a functionally The Market-value of a Good Aptetite' It is said that in some parts of the world where large numbers of men aro employed, temporarily, in contract Jobs, such as tho construction of canals, railroads and the like, when it is deemed necessary to reduce tho staff, the overseers go among the men when eating, and single out for discharge all such as fail to approve themselves valiant trencher- knigbts; judging that the intrepid wielderof bis knife-and-fork will be the laBt man to bring dis honor upon his hitherto untarnished pick-axe; and that he who shovels-in the heaviest cargo of beef and potatoes, will, in all likelihood, shovel-out, with a corresponding vigor, the stubbomest sub soil. And, in so judging, they act in strict accord ance with the teachings of physiological science. That is to say, supposing a man to eat in obedience to a healthy, natural appetite, and with powers of digestion to correspond. For those who are lauda bly ambitious of getting up a vigorous appetite and digestion, and, as a consequence, vigorous health generally, nothing is better than Dr. Gottlieb : Fisch Bitters. anglS-eodAwIw. nsumption _ disordered liver.

Tho second thing fa, tho patients must stay in a warm room until they get well; it is almost impossi ble to prevent taking co'd when the lungs aro dis eased, bnt it must be prevented or a enra cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of tho country iu tho tall and winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose their patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and yet, because they are in the homo they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about tho roomas much and aa fast as the strength will bear, to get up a good ci-cnlation of blood. Tho patients must keep in good f pirits— be determ'ned to get we t. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of euro after such evidence cf its possibility in tho worst cases, and moral cortainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. beheads personal statement to the Faculty of his own care wat> in these modest words: "Many years ago I was in the last stages of con sumption, confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then like a drowning man catching at straws, I heard oi and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the pnblic, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I conld feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offen sive yollow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to"subside, my cough, fever, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I conld keep from eating too much.
