The daughter of General Robert E. Lee, who has just returned from an ex tended tour In Europe, is visiting Mr. W. W. Corcoran In Washington, —New Yorkers have spent more money on floral decorations at social entertain ment this season than ever before, and the florists all expect to be millionaires. —Public meetings are held at Oberlin, Ohio, for the purpose of driving the tobac co dealers out of town; Liquor sellers and billiard saloon keepers have already been expelled. —It is stated that Chicago capitalists have offered $100,000 as a bonus for the removal of an Eastern- locomotive estab lishment to that city. The works will give employment to 600 men. —Frederick Hassaurek, the leading German editor of Ohio, says of Grant’s nomination: “The German Republicans ■will vote solidly against him. That vote would lose him Ohio and defeat him.”. ■_ —John Tompkins, reduced from wealth to poverty, at Np^jport, R- I-, sat down in a chair with the intention of staying there until he starved to death. He had been without food seven days when discovered. —Last month the Premier, ex-Premier, and Primate of England became respect ively 75,70, and 68, the two latter on the same day. Chief Justice Cockbum also attained his 75th birthday. —Mr. Jay Gould has telegraphed to Governor St John, of Kansas, to draw on him _for„ $5,000, to be expended as the Governor deems .best in ameliorating the condition of the farmers in the frontier counties of Kansas, made destitute by the failure of last year's crops. Most of the sufferers purchased their lands from the Kansas Pacific Railroad, now under Mr. Gould’s control. —The New Orleans Times of Wednes day says the attempts to inaugurate the future business at the Cotton Exchange was yesterday a more decided failure than th f ,he Drevious day. The simple truth is —— ^ * 1 *" 1 ——.fa because it would he impossible to close out a con tract in order to realize profits. Very few who speculate in futures are able or wil ling to handle the actual cotton.” —We predicted long ago, says the Nash ville American, that Washbume would be the dark horse. Watch him. Nobody talks -Washbume. He neither pushes himself nor is pushed; hut he gently at tracts attention to the fact that he is not dead by coming out for Governor in Illi nois. When it appears that Grant is dead, Which is rapidly edining to pass; that Sherman has the South, but no strength in the North, outside of Ohio; that Blaine can’t get the Southern vote, Wash bume will take tlio rag off the bush. —A Lancaster, Pennsylvania, paper has the fortune to be edited by two lawyers. Recently the paper commented severely upon the action of a local court in allow ing a criminal to escape for political rea sons. The Judge has attempted to pun ish the paper by having the lawyers dis barred for their conduct as editors. The editors deny the jurisdiction of the court over then* editorial utterances, and are making a warm fight in which they un questionably have right on their side. —The Washington Star says the Southern Claims Commission have con sidered claims amounting, in the aggre gate, to $8,008,400.50. They approved and allowed claims amounting to $241,611.22, and disallowed $8,456,849.34. It is tedi ous and difficult work to get a claim ap proved by the commission. A prominent lawyer from the South who has been en gaged for some time in endeavoring to Convince'the commission of the legali ty of Southern claims remarked the other day, at the capitol, “I’m going to write my partner to-day not to receive another claim. The business doesn’t pay the pos tage required to transmit the papers to Washington.” At the rate the commis sion ha* been allowing claims there is aeftainly no danger of bankrupting the government. —In no State is the anti-third term feeling, stronger than in Massachusetts. Following the prevailing custom of poll ing papers and people on the Presidency, the Springfield Republican is printing the opinions of prominent Republicans, and they are all one way. So great a Radical -. as Thomas Wentworth Higginson says; *'I am ao opposed to the Presidential third term that I should object to it even if Washington or Lincoln should be the can didate.” Three college presidents— Seelye, of Amherst; Capen, of Tufts, and Chadbourne of Williams—write,in a sim ilar strain, and James Freeman Clarke, who is a leader in New England thought, says: “My own objections to this move ment are so pronounced that I can hardly think it possible that I should vote for Grant if he should be nominated; I be lieve in that case there are hundreds of thousands of Republicans who, like my self, would either refuse to vote or would vote for any respectable Democratic can didate.” These are .very large straws, but they were not needed to show which.way the wind was blowing. ' —Flood, 'the owner of many millions, has given his daughter who is to become President Grant’s daughter-in-law in February, $2,500,000 in United States registered bonds. She will thus have more than $100,000 a year for pin-money. A New Stoby.—The Augusta Chroni cle says the New York Ledger will begin next week the publication of a new story, by Professor William Henry Peck, entitled •Udoline and Lockrane;” or the “Masks of ; .Uie Cardlea Mansion.” The story is a romance of the siege of Worcester by Oliver Cromwell. It is foundedupon the historical doubt as to who the assistant executioner of King Charles the First of England was—as many at the time sup posed that person to be Oliver Cromwell. The story abounds in surprises for the reader, in sub-plots, mysteries, and ex traordinary situations of the various char acters, and will be found quite historical as we|i as sensational. Professor Peck has great reputation as a novelist, and is the clilcrattraction to the thousands of readers of tha u Ledger. He writes with great purity of style and thought. The most fastidious critic or sensitive reader will never find anything in the writings of Professor Peck violative of good taste or the most scrupulous morali ty.- His new- story is pronounced by a competent critic to be one of the very best that he has ever written, j V —General Grant and party passed a comfortable night in Havana, notwith standing the shaking np by the earth quake. Thursday, being the King's saint day, there was a grand official reception at the palaoe, Vice-Governor-General Callejas receiving the distinguished visi- t®** in the throne room. The ladies of the party witnessed the reception admltu^'k'lnmg saloon, no ladies being t ntri-'fi. * ucl » official performances. — a grand banquet to The Maine Quasi War. Nothing additional "lip to 8 p. m. last night has been heard from, the opposing forces of the Fusionists and Republicans In Augusta; Maine’s capital; The Davis Legislature had hamcaded 'themselves hi the State House* under the protection of several companies of-the “melish” and a Gatlin gun., The Governor himself corn- tinned to brag and say what he wilt do very soon, etc., etc. The Fusionists had appealed to Con gress, and were determined to hold their own until the people’s representatives had Tendered their decision in the.case. . The whole affair is a 'ridiculous fafee about on a par with the Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island. ; We have no idea that any blood will be sbed unless under the Dutch courage evolved by that cask of “red.eye” which the Rads took with them into their castle. All hands seem especially careful of themselves, and not even a fisticuff has disturbed the repose of the situation. This is all rigid; but why such a pother and fuss about nothing? The truth is that neither Legislature are the fairly elected representatives of the people of Maine. There is any amount of . evidence ready to he produced, showing the vast frauds per, petrated by the Republicans at many of the election places, hut that does not prove • that Fusionists were duly chosen, nor settle the legality of their action in the premises. Again, the last appeal of the “ Rump” Legisla ture to the Supreme Court, was no appeal at all, because not made under the requirements of the law and constitution. The whole affair is badly mixed and the end does not as yet appear. Perhaps there will be a little fracas, and then “Rutherford” will step In and ape the bayonet practice of his pre decessor. We honestly believe that the re sult will inure to the benefit of the Demo cratic party in the approaching elections. It will have the effect to revive in all* its enormity the 8 to 7 partisan action of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the Radical villainies which were perpe trated in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina to compass the defeat of Mr- Tilden. This will place the country on The Guano Trade Broken up at Lotos de Afuera. Advices from Callao of recent date, convey the intelligence that the Chilian ships of war have 'destroyed the launches, platforms and cars at Lobos de Aufuera and ordered off the ships loading with guano. No less than thirty-five vessels were loading or had completed their cargoes. All of these, it is feared, will have their charters cancelled. This proceeding is considered very ar bitrary and unfriendly to neutral nations. Happily, however, in the Carolina plios- phat s, we have an unfailing suppty of fertilizing matter, which, when finely pul verized and treated with the proper chem icals, forms a much more permanent and valuable stimulant to the soil than the Peruvian guano, which, when applied alone, exerts a leaching effect upon the land. _ _ , A Radical Change.—The new con- stitution of California abolishes grand juries, and, indeed, goes very far towards :doiug away with the whole jury system. The accused may elect whether his case shall be decided by a petit uryor the magistrate, and by consent, if the former, the number of jurors may consist often, eight, or only six persons. Glaring de fects in the section regulating the issue of marriage notices and upon other vital matters have cropped out already, al though the new fundamental law did not go into operation until January. A Campaign Against Grant General Grant will not be allowed to walk over the course in the race for the Republican nomination tor President. In the West a powerful organization has been formed against him, and the people and press are being systematically and dili gently canvassed to show that he is not the choice of the masses. In New York, too, there has been organized within a Tew days a body called the “IndependentRe publican Association of the City of New' York,” who will begin an immediate cam paign against the Grant movement. It is partly the outgrowth of the “ Young Seratchers’ ” movement that opposed Cor- n 11 in the fall campaign. They will work against Grant’s nomination and against Mm at the polls if nominated. They are not alone in this fight. While Secretary Sherman was here in the holidays he met thirty influential Republicans, who ar ranged to open a headquarters here and begin a vigorous campaign against Grant. Money in considerable sums lias been con tributed since, and documents have been printed to be scattered all over the East. It is to be an open fight and in a head quarters to which any one may ran. A‘ systematic campaign is to be begun, of course in Sherman’s interest. The truth is, that inevitable reaction ary wave which always follows great popular excitement, is rolling its sullen tide against the man who would seek even to eclipse Washington and Jackson, by. perpetuating his power as the Chief Magistrate, and perhaps dictator, of the republic. With wonderful sagacity, how ever, he has retired from the stage again that he may reappear at the opportune hour, and enjoy another popular ovation, to be-followed up-by a sharp, incisive and hotly contested campaign for the White House. »■ 1 l It will be a desperate struggle, and all the elements, black, yellow and white,' will be invoked to his support. Bnt we have an abiding faith that Americans of pure Anglo Saxon blood, and all who re vere the Constitution of their fathers, and love the Republic which was the out- birth of a seven years’ bloody conflict, will form in serried rank to oppose the man who thousands honestly believe has designs upon the liberties of his country. Crowned with the laurel as a great mili tary chieftain and conqueror, twice eleva ted to the highest office in the gift of the people, received on his return from a voyage around the world with military and civic pageants and honors such as were never before tendered to any other private citizen, what more can. he'Wish, for? Nothing, certainly, save despotic rale, and mayhap a kingly title.' Bnt will the people assent to this? We trow not. a •’ '• ‘; . Already the mutterings of the storm are heard which will overwhelm this proud aspirant for a third term and absolute power. Let him heed the warning in season.' The Wheat Corner. - The Graip Blockade. . • The Northern papers are qnitc confi^j: In tbe.port of New..York, ii.is/»slini§ted dent that the Chicago wheat and flour • that there are • 260 ocean sailing crafts of corner is destined to break in the course pf 600 tons burden and over, awaitifig car- a few days, and mash the fingers of theren- tire brotherhood who contrived it, and have been able for the past two or three months to make every family in the country pay a few dollars more for tlieir flour and broad. Keene’s scheme was very plausi ble, bnt founded on miscalculation. He was sure the short crops in Europe would soon deplete the supplies there, and there fore he had only to play a grand game of monopoly and engrossment on this side of the ocean. " . ' But Keene overrated the European de ficit. The rise in wheat and flour'unlock ed the European stores to an’unexpected extent. Importations from France, Rus sia, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Egypt, South America, Austria and other coun tries crowded into Great Brittain to take advantage of the advance,' and prices be gan to recede, and are receding daily in the face of an extraordinarily heavy sow ing of winter wheat, and America:so crowded with last year’s ‘grain that there is little, room for more. .. ' : ; i . .. . Now it is an excellent thing (speaking after the manner of men) when in your own interests, you can. force an- ad vance of two, three or four dollars per barrel on a good many million barrels of flour.-.It is like cojnpelling mankindi at large to passover your toll' bridge and drop a dollar apiece in the : box. As there are many millions of them, the re ceipts soon begin to count up. But when in the words of Mrs. Gammidge things go “contraiiy” and the same people take dollar apiece out of your box, it becomes damaging ^nd tiresome and the natural suggestion is that you wish you had de clined the undertaking and not shown yourself so sharp and greedy, • The probabilities are that when Keene is compelled to throw his immense accu mulations into the market, upon the back of large accumulations of European, South American and African wheat, which have been brought forward by the advance, and saved up by diminished con sumption on account of high price and al leged scarcity, and also in face of unu sually large crops of winter wheat, which will be pressing on the market in early summer, iub. . ..-:n AvniB down “with a run,” as the snilors say, and the decline will be much more rapid .and sweeping than the advance was. . There will be, in other words, an artifi cial plethora following an artificial scare! ty— a manufactured glut following a manufactured famine, which'will work a heavy, sudden and bold decline, and Mr! Keene’s wings will be serverely clipped. That will not be deplored by mankind at laige, for it is among the deplorable things of the present day and generation that all the necessaries of life should become the sport of idle capitalists who pile up wealth by griping the bowels of the poor. But we have a strong impression that the .fui ture men are going to meet a regular blizzard all around this spring, and sum mer. The little ones lost all their pocket money last summer, but it will be worse by and by. goes of grain. The Times says: "Washington, January 22.—It has been decided to appoint ex-Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana, as naval officer at New Orleans in the place of Colonel James Lewis. The friends of the latter are decidedly opposed to this change, and it is likely that ■ a fight will be made in the Senate on Pincbback’s confirmation. Remarks by the Court The point on which the court desired the opinions of the bar was briefly this: If a young lady marries on the 29tli day of February next, when will she be enti tled to a silver wedding? Also, whether to prevent a (tag ’from biting you is it best to “sit down on him?” Also, whether the auguries of the goose bone which warn us to “look out for se vere weather about the middle of Febru ary,” are to be relied on? . ' Tlic court also remarked incidentally that when gentlemen of tlie bar laid “their heads together” a purpose of concord and agreement might naturally be inferred, but, said the court emphatically, it js not so with billy-goats. The court took occasion to lament over the confusion of parliamentary, law incidental to the disoords in the Pine Tree State, and said that without». single call for the previous question the Maine ques tion was now being put every-day and all the time. Nothing, said the court, could be more fatal to law and sound usage. As for the Grant boom the court said, in its opinion, more was asked than the public would be .willjng to grant, and much that was doubtful taken for granted. The court’s opinion on “honest money” being asked, the court said it had. heard of a few dollars. It was said the Chemi cal Bank of New York had nevir sus pended, but it might have been ' wruggei. He considered; United States Treasury notes or greenbacks, ip ordinary,, “honest money,” but, after all, it depended a good deal off who got hold 1 of them ? iln 1873 the banks got^hMdof a' good many be longing to depositors and solemnly. re solved that they .would not deliver them np on call of the owners !

Petroleum Tests. There is a law of the general govern ment which prohibits “the storage or sale of petroleum or kerosene, the fire, test of which shall be less .than 110 degrees Fahrenheit.” The .law is even more, stringent in New .York city. There, a special law prohibits all oils for illumina ting or hekting purposes “whiclvshall emit an inflammable vapor at a temperature be low 100 degrees Fahrenheit.” The fire test is made by placing a bottle the oil in a small basin of water, then heated to 110 degrees, when a flame is ap plied, and if it is extinguished,' the* oil is passed. The penalty in New York is $50 for each offense. During the year 1879, there were 11,734 such samples collected and tested. Since this vapor test has been applied, the num ber of explosions and casualties from the use of petroleum oil has steadily decreased until such disasters occur but seldom. Judge Bleckley Resigned, Late advices from Atlanta announce, that Justice Bleckloy, of die Supreme Conjftb<“l resigned, and his .resignation has been reluctantly accepted. .

The New Senator-elect from Missis* : . • sippi. ‘ * The Nashville American says : ' r ; Hon. James Z. George, the, Senator- elect from Mississippi, was bom in Carroll county, in that State, and is about fifty- two years of age. He "is, - at present, Chief Justice' of the State, haring been elected to that high position about two years ago, both on account of his pre eminent fitness for it and that he might be laid on the political shelf by the shrewd and scheming politicians who desired to remove a dangerous rival. He accepted the situation with philosophic complacen cy, without being blind to the scarcely concealed purpose of his rivals; General George was a private In the First Mississippi Rifle Regiment in Mex ico, commanded by Jefferson Davis, and a lieutenant colonel of cavalry in the Con federate service, ne was taken prisoner at Colliersville, Tennessee, while charg ing on the entrenchment of the Federals. As a lawyer General George ranks at the bead .of tj« bar in Mississippi, always eminent for,, learning, ability and elo quence,' and the only office he ever held before being elevated to that of Chief Jus tice, was that of --Attorney General of tlie State,'in which he acquitted himself with entire satisfaction to the bar and the coun try.

These 1 -points settled, his trustees will be satisfied, and he will lie willing to re tire , having seen his grand scheme of. developriient carried "out. It Is said that the Western and At lantic railroad will rest onthis settlement, Colonel Cole and Governor Brown agree ing perfectly that what will satisfy one will satisfy the other. So that if the Central lease is confirmed and Cole satisfied, the CoId-BrOwn project of a line froin St. Louis to the sea will be completely carried out. It need not be said that this sort of agreement would virtually kill tlie Geor gia Western. It would, at least, remove all necessity for- building, it, and leave its only chance theranningof a branch line to the coal fields, and this dependent on the mercy of the Loriisville and Nasliville road. ■* •*' ’A ITi? . Will the lease of the Central be rati fied? This depends. It is certain that the first idea. of the Louisville and Nashville people was that of opposition to it. They did not believe in it—did not see the necessity of it, and did not intend to cntaugle themselves with it. "It is claimed, though, of late, that their views have somewhat changed, and that they ap preciate tlio iinnortance of putting down opposition, mid gaining Lulo as ^ a n y andBrowuas a lriend. If this is true, they may confirm the Central lease, es- pecially as it can he shown that the fixed liability assumed under that lease is $1,300,000 per annum, while the netearn- ings-of the Central for the last year was $1,208,000, leaving only $92,000 of mar gin, to be filled by the increased business. If the Central lease is not confirmed I predict that we shall see some lively work in the next few days, and tlie Louisville and Nashville may find itself in as big a hurry to build the Georgia Western as" it was when it first bought the road bed. The above is mere supposition, and the whole matter remains in abeyance just as we have reported it to be from day to day for the last two weeks. It has been known all the while that the rate of in terest to be guaranteed to the Central by Colonel Cole’s road was no more than that corporation is actually earning at this time. But we arc disposed to regard the whole affair as still involved in great doubt and uncertainty. Not a word has officially transpired by which an intelligent opinion can be formed in the prenrses. Hence it is proper to warn our fellow citizens and the public generally, not to have their expectations too highly raised in advance. “Put not your faith in Princes,” is the injunction of holy writ, and this is equally applicable to railroad princes, as has been time and again demonstrated. Much then, as this railroad combination is to be desired, for the benefit of our city and State, we rnjist be prepared if need be to get along with out it. With the railroad system now in opera tion in Georgia, if odious local discrimin ations can all be removed and equitable rates of freight based at least approxi mately Upon the table of distances be sub stituted, we believe the people will be sat isfied, and the country prosper, even with out a great through trunk line. Let that line, as proposed by Colonel Cole, be constructed, however, and Macon would undoubtedly become the great cen tral distributing point for all Middle, Southern and Southwest Georgia. What an impetus would thus be imparted to the wholesale trade of our city? Failing in this as a dernier resort, we have the rail road law to fall back upon, and the intel ligent assistance and co-operation of the able Board of Railroad Commissioners. It is to be regretted that some of our con temporaries are disposed to find fault with what they term the dilatory ac tion of the commissioners. But these gentlemen have no possible concep tion of the immense labor which -has been imposed upori Messrs. Smith, Wallace and Barnett, or the exceedingly delica'te na ture of the mission they have consented to nndertake. ' TheTery formation" of an equitable schedule of freight and: passen ger fares for every railroad in Georgia; is a Hercnleah task, and involves tlie most patient research and careful investigation. To do the work badly or hastily, might re sult in infinitely ffioro harm, than good to all the interests at stake. When once, however, the machinery is successfully put in motion, then thereafter it will be comparatively easy -to adjust diflerences, remedy errors, and establish uniformity as nearly as it can be done—throughout the railroad'systom of the commonwealth. These, schedules, of course, will vary ac cording to the length of any given road, its amount of business, etc., and will be very difficult tq arrange. Hence, the ne cessity for both rime, and the most careful deliberation, on the part of the commis sioners before taking any definite action concerning the -weighty matters under consideration. Let us await their move- ments in patience,, with the full assurance that they Will labor zealously to consult the interests, not only of the people, but of the roads themselves. Colonel Felton to the Front . The Independent member from-the Seventh District has. addressed'a caustic letter- to his constituents, explanatory of his recommendation of Simmons to Presi dent Hayes for-a census appointment, in ■which he animadverts very sharply upon Senator Gordon. We print as follows, the most salient portion of the “address:” The letter of Mr. Simmons I neyer saw before in my life, knew not a word of its contents; it was written in Georgia while jLwas in this city last spring, and I had no knowledge that Mr. Simmons, had ever written to the President urit il he ap plied to me for a letter of recommenda tion in September last, which I wrote in Ids presence. In concluding this letter, Mr. Simmons requested me to call the President’s attention to his application, which he thought had been overlooked; and especially desired me to ask the President to read it again. My letter was marked private, only to insure the President’s personal attention, and he did not consider it a confidential letter, and therefore placed it in the public files, which he told me himself yesterday, when I laid both letters before him for exami nation. The President says he never saw the letter of Simmons’ until I carried it to lum on yesterday. General Walker de clares he never saw it. Therefore, it had no influence whatever on his appointment. I have already re peated that I saw it for the first time in the files of tlie Interior Department on yesterday, and when I called attention to the letter by Mr. Simmons’ request, 1 he; lieved it to be only an application in usual form for the place. If my devotion to the South and to Southern men, as illustrated *iu my politi cal record and my course during the late civil war, is not a sufficient guarantee for my fidelity to their interests, I cannot sup pose that a lotter written in Georgia, while I was in Washington, and which I never saw until yesterday, can in any way connect me with its sentiments. It is necessary, also, that I should ex plain to you the publication of those let ters in the Atlanta Constitution, and give the name ofthe person to whose attention and manipulation I am indebted for that publication. ‘ The Assistant Secretary of the Interior Department, and Mr. James F. Hood, a clerk, gave me the facts, which I proceed to place before you: Mr. Hood states that General Gordon came into his office and asked to examine these papers. He then stated that he would take them into tlie Assistant Secretary’s room, which .he did. He was alone until he left the Sec retary’s room, where he was joined by some man who was unknown to the Secre tary but he (Gordon) returned alone to Mr. Hood’s room. General Gordon did not say to either official that he intended to do this work; and I leave the plain facts to your consid eration and impartial judgment. It is proper to say that during all this contest Hon. Mr. Speer was pressing our mutual friend Colonel P. Lawshe, of Gainesville, but was greatly surprised to l.carn that General Gordon protested against the appointment and would con sider that appointment a personal insult. General Walker told me that the Sena tor strongly protested, in the case. So we see very clearly that the only Democrat who was favorably considered was proba bly defeated by the personal hostility of Senator Gordon to the independents ofthe State of Georgia. The General will, no doubt, oppose the confirmation of any man, Democrat or Republican, who will not submit to lus peculiar dictation. For such method as he uses in his warfare, he has full permission to exercise against me. If the Senate of the United States can stand the effect, I shall not complain. The Senator announces that lie will fight Mr. Simmons because of his Repub lican partisanship. While this distin guished statesman was nosing about the Interior Department, to find my endorse ment of a Republican, why did he over look his own strongly written endorse ment of Mr. Charles R. Johnson, who was nominated as an active and pronounced Republican ? So it appears that Republicans who live in the Seventh District, that are friendly to me, are to be defeated in the Senate, because of their partisanship, while others outside that District can re ceive the strongly written endorsement and support of this Democratic Senator, who stoops to indulge his personal preju dice in this elevated position.

Editors Telegraph and Messetiger: Our little town -was thrown into a state of ex citement la3t night about nine o’clock by the announcement that Mr. Owen Mc- Garrigal, a highly esteemed citizen of this town, liad committed suicide. A crowd soon gathered at his home and found him lying on a couch. He was dead, with two pistol bullet holes through his heart,and his pistol lying on the floor by the side of the couch.' His wife states he returned from up town about’ nine o’clock, intoxicated, and entered the room with the pistol in his hand. She immediately endeavored to give it np and threatening to kill her. She at once ran out of the house, and he then committed the rash deed. He was well thought of by the entire community. He leaves a wife and two children—-one an infant two months old. No one can tell why he committed the deed. He was about forty years of age. The effect on the community was quite stirtling, and all hope the occurrence will be the last of its kind to happen in our midst. A. Social Circle.the Proper Point on the Georgia Railroad for the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Exten sion. i From an able railroad article in the Walton county Vidette, we extract the following: “In the first place, we claim for Social Circle superior advantages as a terminus of the extension to any otherplace. From the Macon and Augusta railroad bridge across the Ocniulgee at Macon to this place via Monticello there is not a stream that will require a bridge, and the deep est cut and the highest embankment will not exceed twelve feet. Secondly, 'f lie line will have a scope of country ten miles wider to feed from, and that too tlirough a section of country as good as exists in Georgia. Thirdly. This is the favorite route of all men who are familiar with the topog raphy c.r the country through which the line, will. ran. .Fourthly. If the line is not built to this point the lessees will have the Alcova river to bridge, six miles from Covington, at an expense of $150,000, and a section of country to traverse that will cost not less than $5,000 per mile more to grade than if it were brought to Social Circle— making a cost of $180,000 in our favor. Fifthly. If the lessees or purchasers of tlie road sliouldever want connection with the West by another line, it could ibe easi ly accomplished via Athens, the North eastern and Rabun Gap and Knoxville in Tennessee. Ten miles of the thirty-five between this place and Athens will be ready for the care before the Macon and Brunswick reaches Atlanta,, and then a small link of twenty-five miles to Athens will connect Lula and Brunswick.! Thirty- eight miles extension of the Northeastern thcnwill reach Kabun Gap,which extension ’ffi’lltfer&lly backed tip by State aid arid which can easily be effected. These ex tensions in tlie 'directions indicated will develop the best parts of.^the State yef undeveloped by railway' enterprise, and will be liberally supported by the people who are to be benefited by them. Unless these connections are made all the freights of Northeastern Georgia will come and go via Augusta east/and the Air-Line and connections north and west. Social Circle is the key to unlock all this treasure to tlie Macon andBrariswick. If the extension is carried to Covington besides the $180,000 mentioned above, the road will have a scape of country to feed from ten miles less, with no possibility of a connection with the Northeastern at Athens, except at a cost of nearly a mil lion dollars, and any other route thence would cost four times as much.”* New York, January 22—The Joint Executive Committee of trank lines made some changes to-day in the cotton rates from Western river ports, as follows: St. Louis to New York 47 cents per one hundred pounds; Cairo, 47 cents; Evans ville, 45: Louisville, 43; Cincinnati, 40; cotton received from steamer from East St. Louis, 49 cents; from Cairo, 49; from Evansville, 47; from Louisville and Jef fersonville, 45; from Cincinnati, 44.

Complaint, from City Court of Atlanta. 1.. Where the- record contains no judg ment on demurrer, this court will assume that there was no such judgment. 2. The declaration in this case is not so defective as that a verdict thereon would be necessarily illegal. Its defects are amendable and would be cured by ver dict. ;1 .- •< < - • . . id 3. Where a bank held demands secured by collaterals against its customer for loans and advances, part of which de mands bad been liquidated by note and there had been a course of dealing be tween the parties, embracing these ad vances, and also deposits made with the bank from time, to time by the customer, and where there was evidence tending to show an accounting between the parries, and an accord and settlement in which the collateral securities were divided be tween them, the amount of collaterals falling to the bank credit on the gross sum of its demands, a new note taken for the balance and the old notes all canceled and surrendered and entered paid on the discount book of the bank: , Held : 1. That this transaction on its face yrould operate as a payment and cancellation of the demands held by the- bank against the customer, except as to said balance f or which the new note was taken. 2. That if the bank allege the contra ry, the burden would be on the bank to prove it. 3. That if in such case the court so charge the jury as in terms or by reasona ble implication to impose the burden of proof touching such point of the customer, a new trial should be granted. 4. Even if the burden of proof were on the debtor, a charge wliich submits to the jury, whether “the circumstances as demonstrated to them by the evidence is of such a nature as to raise the implica tion—that it was taken in payment,” puts the case too strongly, and demands more than the law -would require to overcome such burden of proof—mere preponder ance of evidence would he sufficient. Judgment reversed. Griffin vs. Cleghom, Herring &Co. Complaint, from Fulton. Warner, C. J.—This was an action brought by the plaintiffs against the de fendant upon two guano notes for $70 each, tlie notes contained the following stipulation: “It is expressly understood that said Cleghom, Herring & Co., sell said commercial manure as to its quality and effect on crops, on the analysis of A. Means, the iMpector wUosa brand is on every sack, said inspector is hereby, constituted and recognized as my agent, and I agree to be bound by his inspection as made and indicated by his brand on each and eveiy sack.” The notes were signed by the defendant. The defendant pleaded the worthlessness of the guano, and that the notes were fraudulently ob tained by the false representations ofthe plaintiff’s agent as to the stipulations con tained therein. On the trial of the case, the jury found a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for the amount ofthe notes with interest. A motion was made for a new trial on the grounds therein specified, which was overruled, and the de fendant excepted. There was no error In admitting in evidence what Stanley said in the presence of defendant and plaintiff’s- agent when they were talking about the gnano previous to the sale thereof, to-wit: “That it was good guano, that he had used it.” This was admissible as part ofthe res-gestce—code 3773. By the terms and- stipulations contained in the notes, the defendant was bound to pay for the guano, and the only question in the case was whether the notes as written were fraudu lently procured from the defendant without his reading, or knowing what was in them. In relation to this point in the case, the evidence was as conflicting as it well could be. The jury thought proper to believe the plaintiff’s evidence. .The defendant now seeks to obtain a new trial on the newly discovered evidence of Smith, who, from the statement in his affidavit, will substantially corroborate the statement of the defendant as to the manner in which the notes were obtained from him. The difficulty in the way ofthe defendant obtaining a new trial on this ground is, that the evidence of Smith is only addi tional to that of the defendant liimself, merely cumulative evidence of that which w» offered by the defendant in relation tothe same point on the trial of the case, and, therefore, is not a good ground for a new trial—code 3710. Let the judgment of the courtlhelow be affirmed. Pease vs. the State. Keeping open tip pling house on Sunday, from City Court of Atlanta. Wabneb, C. J.—The defendant was indicted for the ofl'ense of misdemeanor, and charged with “keeping open a rip pling house on the Sabbath day.” On the trial of the case, the jury, under the charge of the court, found the defendant guilty. A motion was made for a new trial on the grounds therein stated, which was overruled and the defendant excepted, The court charged the jury, as follows in relation to the defendant’s statement made at the trial. The defendant underourlawis allowed to make his statement, hut the same law that says he may make his statement says the jury shall give that statement -only such force as tliey think right. Hence, you are to apply that law to that state ment, and give it such force as you think right. In coming to a conclusion as to what is right in regard to the statement, you have to look to your sworn oath in connection with the evidence, as you have sworn to render a verdict in accordance w.th the evidence. It would not be right for you to give, tbgt statement such force as to set aside the evidence that convinces yon beyond a reasonable doubt that tlie defendant guilty, but if the evidence is of such a nature as that you are not so con vinced,and you find it proper to give force to the . statement in connection with the evidence, you can resort to it for light. If -the evidence, how ever, convinces you that he is guilty, you should not give such weight to the"state ment as would upset that conviction in your minds. If the evidence, therefore, satisfies your mind. without a reasonable donbt, and the statement is in conflict with that evidence, you are to give preference to the evidence; if it does not satisfy your mind, you are to consider the statement and. give it force in the light in: which I have charged you. Y*u may, if tlie evi dence is of such a nature to allow yoti to give the statement force and effect/resort to it, for the purpose of seeing whether it would, in connection with the evidence, raise upon your mind a reasonable doubt, and if it is of such nature that you can consider the statement, and if it raises such doubt it would be your duty to acquit him.” This charge ofthe court was an error, inas much as it limited and restricted the iury in their consideration of the defendant’s Statement, whereas .the statute declares, that the statement shall have such force only as the jury may think right to give it, and that is a question for them in view of the evidence. Let the judgment of the court below be reversed. Dodd & Co. vs. Thompson. Rule against constable, from Fulton. Wabneb, C. J.—This was anile against a constable for failing to . levy on certain described property of the defendant, on the following agreed statement of facts: “It is admitted that Accorsini, the defend ant, has an exemption under the laws of personalty; that the candy, nuts and fruits that Thompson was ordered to levy on are not the identical candy, nuts and fruits that the homestead of Accorsini embraces. They are the proceeds of the sale of candy, nuts and fruits exempt under, the home stead law.
