The following decinon, rendered in the
cited States District Coart last week by
adge Lrskiue, it deemed one of the most
interesting and important to the planting
fraternity that bae been promulgated in this
District. The points sre so fully eiplain

any comment:

Mitchell King (son of the preceding, but
who )■ not now a party). In equity. Bill
ror injunction account, etc. Removed
from Chatham Superior Court to this
gPJJ. ,D April, 1875, under act of March
3, 1875.
.. R81,!,E - J- In November, 1874, Coates,
the wimplainant, a citizenof tbl* State, filed
nts bill in Chatham oounty Superior Court
apainKt Mitchell C. King, a citizen of North
Carolina. The bill allege* that complain
~J* ‘ n 1872, entered into an agreement
with Mitchell C. King, defendant, to run
and cultivate hi* rice planta'ion, situate in
Oeorgu, complainant to give his individual
attention to the cultivauon of rice on the
place, and to pay $2,000 rent for the same
for each year it wan cultivated, and that
after deducting the $2,000 rent and the ex
penses incurred in running and cultivating
•he Plantation in rice from the gross pro
ceeds of the annual crops complainant was
to have one-third of the net proceeds
and defendant the residue. Complain
ant makes a certain written agree
ment part of his bill, to which I
will refer presently. He also alleges
that it was agreed independently of the
written contract, that he should have his
one-third of the net proceeds in kind, if he
so desired it, at market value, and he avers
performance of ibis agreement for the
years 1872, 1873 and 1874, making three
crops of rice, amounting, in the aggregate,
to sixteen thousand bushels; that defendant
■hipped off the crops ot 3872 and 1873.
amounting, to eleven hundred
bushels, and sold them for more than suffi
cient to pay the rents, etc., your orator
owed defendant for three years, and to pay
he rent and expenses incurred during those
and the present vear (1874), thus leaving
the present crop almost entirely net profits,
if defendant deals fairly with complainant;
that he has refused to have a settlement for
1872 and 1873, or to show to complsinant
the bills of sale of the two crops made on
tlie place for these years; that the crop of
1874 amounts to 5,000 or 0,000 bushels, and
it is now matured, and is being removed by
Mitchell King, the son of defendant, from
this State to South Carolina, and is being
threshed and sold by said sou, the agent of
defendant, lie having alroady removed somo
3,000 bushels, all ot which is done for the
purpose of depriving complainant of his
rights and iuterist in the same; and that
the eutire crop will ho removed and disposed
of within a few days unless the defendant
and his agent are restrained; that both King
and Ills son are insolvent; that said planta
tion is encumbered with a $50,000 mortgage,
much more than its market value; that after
the payment of the three years’ rent (most
of which is paid) by complainant >o defend
ant, Mitchell C. King, complainant’s portion
will amount to S2,(XX) or $3,000. “Com
plainant waives discovery of defendants,”
and prays for an injunction, the appoint
ment of a receiver,and that Mitchell C. King
be decreed to account anil exhibit the bills
of sale of the rice crops of 1872 and 1873. and
the portion of the present crop shipped and
Hold by him, and account and settle with
complainant, and for general relief.
The Htate court awarded an injunction
and appointed a receiver, Ac. Touching
these particular matters—the action of that
oourt upon them, and upon other points
which arose—may hero be loft out of view
in passing upon the questions presented by
the demurrer in tills court, •<> which the
case was removed by the defendant in April
last.
The princintd ground upon which the
demurrer to the bill rests is that it does not
make such a case as would authorize specific
or general relief; because, inter nlia, in
this case, as presented, there is nothing hut
the usual position of debtor and creditor,
and that Coates lias an adequate remedy at
law, and this court, as a court of chancery,
ha* no jurisdiction, and therefore cannot
entertain this bill; and, further, that com
plainant asks for an account, and at tho
same time waives discovery. On tho part
of Coates it is contended that such is not
tho position between tile defendant and
complainant; that, on the contrary, they
K are partners, and stand iu that position to
I each other; that under the writteii a ree-
J niont (made a part of this bill) they be
i came partners inter sese. But, said counsel,
if the court should he of opinion that such
social relation did not exist, still the bill is
sustainable on other grounds. It was con
ceded, by couusol for defondant, that if the
written ugreemeut made them partners, a
suit in equity would lie. The agreement is
as follows:
“This agreement, entered into between
Philip Coates anil Mitchell King, witnesseth
that the said Coates ia to give hia undivided
time anil attention to all the iutereata of the
lied Kuoll plantation, and that after deduct
ing from the groaa proceed* of the crop*
$2,000 a* rent, and the reimbursement of
all and singular the expense* of evory de
scription incurred on aid plantation, ex
clusive of the two days’ labor contract
time, then the proceeds not, deducting the
jabove, to bo divided—one-third to tho said
,4’hilip Coates and two-thirds to tho said
Jliitchell King.”
(Signed) Mitchell 0. King,
Philip G. Coates.”
Excluding from the mind all thoughts
which arise from a perusal of the bill, and
the action of tho 'Stato court in regard to
the injunction, receivership, Ac., and look
ing solely to the agreement itself, the ques
tion here is, did it constitute the parties—
Coates and King—partners inter aese ?
Not whether they were merely quasi part
ners, responsible to third persons by con
struction of law. All partners inter aese are
partners quooil tho world. llut the
reverse of this is not true as a
legal fact. It may be noted here
that sinoe Grace vs. Smith, 2 Win. lil.. 998,
more than liiue-tenthsot the reported cases,
in the parent country and in this, will be
found to have been decided ou questions in
volving liability of partuers, or, more cor
rectly speaking, quasi partners, to third
persons. So care must bo here taken to
keep distinct and separate (so far as is pos
sible) the principles and the rules ot evi
denoe which pervade theso partnerships
from those which aft'eotor govern pure part
nerships.
Section 1887 of the Code says : “A part
nership may bo created either by writteu or
parol contract, or it may arise from joint
ownership, use and enjoyment of protits
of undivided properly, real or personal.”
And tbis definition or description docs not
materially differ from tho common law; for
by it bare oouscut of tho parties is sufficient
to oonslitute partnership, whether such con
aant is signified by written or parol contract,
or by acts. As to creating partnerships iu
tbe buying and selling of lands, see Smith
vs. Burnham, 3 Sum.. 435, 458-71.
To constitute a partnership inter sese it is
not esaeutial that the partuers should
equally share the profits. “It is sufficient
if they are to share iu the profits of the
busiuess after deducting the losses; in other
words, that they share the net profits ac
cording to their respective proportions."
■aioi y ou Part, section 23.
It caunot be gathered from the language
of the instrument whether the plantation
was owned by tho parties or by one of them,
and which one, or by neither. Nor is it nec
essary to resolve these questions; for if, by
fair construction, it shows that they were
Jointly snd mutually interested iu the
profits snd losses arising from the undertak
ing, or eaoital or skill, they would be part
ners, and this, although the words “part
ners” or “partnership” do not occur in tbe
agreement. Neither is it necessary to deter
mine whether the rent aid expense*, or
wither, or any portion of either, was origi
nally to come out of the pocket of one or
both, as individuals; for they were to be de
•ducted from the gross proceeds of the
orop, and then the net proceeds were to be
•divided—one-third to Coates snd two
thirds to King. Or, if one was to
furnish the laud and the other
to pay the rent, or a portion of it, with his
own money, or one was to advauce cash for
tbe '•xpeuaes, ° r part of them, and to be
reimbursed out of the gross proceeds—none
of these stipulations, nor any of the pre
ceding ones mentioned, would place the
parties to this agreement iu th" position of
eiucipal and agent; because each would
ve a specific interest iu the profits as &
principal, and a joint and mutual interest in
tbe profits, as profits —each a principal in
tbe business snd the proceeds of the crop—
the joint property of both—until the ac
counts were ascertained and the division
took place. The contract is that Coates is to
give bis “tindivided time aud attention to all
the interests 1 1 the Bed Knoll plantation.’’
And what were these interests? Plainly,
that be give his time and consideration to
the business in wbiob the two had embark
ed, for the prime purimse of producing and
raaliz ng consequences, by growing rice.
The words quoted, when disunited with the
other parts of the writing, might, possibly,
ao impress tbe mind so as to iudicate the re
lation of principal and sfjeni; but
re-united, the conclusion is irresistibly
the opposite. For the contract
asserts that after deducting tbe expenses in
curred, and $2,000 rent, from the gross pro
ceeds of the crop (thus presupposing a
gale), the net proceeds to be divided between
them in certain proportions. Surely, it can
not be a correct exposition of this agree
ment to say that Coates was to take or receive
one-third of the net proceeds of the crop,
aa compensation for labor or skill in the
character of an agent or overseer for King.
On the contrary, it is obvious to my mind
that he was to participate iu them as a prin
cipal, and that the agreement established
the relation of actual partnership between
the parties themselves.
Turning now to the bill, it states that io
1873, Mitchell and Coates agreed to cultivate
in rice the plantation of the lormer, the lat
tar to give hia individual attention to tbe
business, and pay $2,000 rent per annum,
while the place waa so cultivated in rioe, and
after deducting the rent and expenses In
curred in running and thus cultivating the
plantation from the gross proceed* of the
annual crop*, be wa* to have a third of the
net proceed* and Mitchell two-thirds; and
Coates makes the written contract, already
pasted upon, an exhibit and part of his bill.
He slso allege# that independently of this
written agreement, they agreed that com
plainant should have his share of the net
proceeds in kind {tic), if he so desired, at
market value ; he avers performance on hit
part, but alleges that Mitchell sold the
crops of 1872 and 1873, and disposed of a
part of that of 1874, and is about to carry
off the remainder of it—thus depriving him
of his rights and interests in the same. He
“ waives discovery of the defendant,” and
prays an account.
If I am correct in rating that the written
agreement constituted Mitchell and Coates
partners inter sese, there cannot in mv
Judgment, be a doubt that the allegation's
made in the bill warrant the same conclu
sion. Here one furnished the land, the
other to pay an annual rent, and give his
individual attention to the business—culti
vating the laud in rice—and after deducting
the rent and expenses from the gross pro
ceeds of the yearly crops, the net proceeds
to lie divided in certain proportions. These
act* show a community of interest in the
capital stock and in the business, and in the
profit and loss ; “or, in other words,” as is
said by Mr. Justice Story, in his work on
partnership, section twenty-three, “ that
they should share in the net profits accord
ing to their respective proportions.”
In Dob A Dob vs. Halsey, 16 John's R.,
34, an agreement was produced in evidence
between the plaintiffs of the one part and
Moore, of the other, by which Moore cove
nanted to superintend the saw pits and lum
ber yard of the plaintiffs for one year, in
consideration of bis receiving one-third part
of the net profits. Mr. Justice Spencer,
delivering the judgment of the court, said :
“There may be, and some of the cases admit
the position, a partnership as respects third
persons, when the transaction would not be
such, as between the parties themselves.
This is not such a case ; here is a full, clear
and decided partnership, as regards the
parties themselves, aa well as the third
persons.”
The last point in the demurrer ia that the
bill seeks an account, yet waives discovery.
If a bill prays an account and settlement
or payment, and discovery is not essential
to support the bill, the interposition of a
court of chancery is wholly unnecessary ;
for it is well sefited tnwt if no discovery is
sought or required by the frame of the bill,
chancery bag no jurisdiction. Story, Pi.,
sec. 482; Story, Eq., Jur., sec. 4M. In
matters of account, some discovery should
be required, in order to induce a court
of chancery to exercise jurisdiction : Fowle
vs. Lawrdson, 5 Peters, 495. Here the com
plainant, in positive language, declines dis
covery.
This is a general demurrer, and goes to
tho bill. Had it been restricted to this im
mediate question, the court would have sus
tained it. It is an ancient rule of equity
pleading, that if a demurrer covers, or is
applied to the whole bill, when it is good to
a part ouly; or if it be to a part of a bill
pnly, but yet is not good to the full extent
which it covers, but is to a part only, it will
bo over-ruled. And in Marshall vs. Vicks
burg, 15 Wall, 146, the Supreme Court of the
United States said : "Where there i, a single
demurrer, it must be wholly sustained or
over-ruled.” Applying that doctrine to this
case, the demurrer must be over-ruled; and
it is so ordered.
Mr. West for the demurrer; Mr. Hines and
Mr. Lester, contra.
Afser the decision was rendered permis
sion was asked to amend the bill by praying
fr discovery. The court granted the leave.
IN TUB TOIL’S.
Arrest of a Hank Robber.
On Saturday last there arrived in Savan
nah from Florida a party of three, consist
ing or two men and a woman, concerning
whom there is an interesting history, brief
notice of which has already been made in
the News. The parties were Henry W.
Davies, Thomas Nichols and his mother,
Mrs. Joseph 11. Nichols. They left on the Sa
vannah and Charleston Railroad lor Charles
tan by the morning train.
Nichols is the absconding teller of the
Canadian Bank of Montreal, who, on the
11th of September last, stole from that bank
quite a large sum of money, and, iu com
pany with his father, levanted to St.
Augustine, Florida. A reward of ten thou
sand dollars was offered for the delivery of
Thomas Nichols at any place in tho British
dominions, and Henry W. Davies, a well
known detective, was sent in pursuit of him.
Tlie detective has been in St. Augustine,
Florida, at the same hotel with Nichols for
several weeks, but could not arrest him,
there being no extradition treaty for that
class of offences between the United States
and tho liritfth provinces. But he kept his
man iu sight, and finally worried him into a
surrender. This was accomplished by ad
-vfe—iking. In every portion of tbe city s
circular was posted setting forth tbe theft,
and offering ten thousand dollars reward
for the arrest of the fugitive. Every morn
ing the following circular was placed in a
conspicuous place in the hotel at which
Nichols and liis family boarded:
r rMIIKK!—$10,000 KBWARD.—On September
1 11, 1875, THOMAS NICHOLS, Teller of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce, at Montreal, Do
minion of Canada, stole from said Bank a large
quantity of Canadian Legal Tender Notes of the
denominations of $5 a) anil sl.oh>, and, accom
panied by his father, Joseph H. Nichols, fled
from Montreal, ana these two f gitlves ir an
british justice are now at the Oriental Hotel, in
the city of St. Augustine, State of Florida,
Cnited States of America. I hereby offer the
following rewards: $5,(100, eold, for the recovery
of the amount slolen, or pro rata for what is re
covered, and $5,000, cold, for the delivery of the
add Thomas Nichols at any place in the British
Dominion, or Davies’ Detective Agency, 17 and
1 William street, New York, U. S. A HENRY
W. DAVIES, Agent and Attorney of the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce, St. Augustine, Fla., U.
5. A.
Five weeks of this kind of conspicuous
and persistent advertising effected wliat the
law could not. Tho defaulting teller, unable
to shake off the detective, v luntarily sur
rendered himself and offered to return to
Montreal to stand his trial. The parties
left, as stated, on the morning train Satur
day for Charleston, en route for the British
i rovinces.
Interesting Muprrmn Court Decision.
Tho following decision, rendered lately
in the Supreme Court, will be read with
interest:
Groover, Stubbs & Cos. vs. White, Sheriff.
Rule, from the City Court of Savannah.
Warner, C. J. — This was a rule against
the Sheriff of the City Court of Savannah to
show eaune why he should not pay to the
plaintiffs the amount of a distress warrant
which had been leviod on tho property of
the defendant therein and left iu his posses
sion without taking any Loud for its forth
coming by the defendant, by reason whereof
the same property was levied on by another
distress warrant in favor of other plaintiffs
and sold, and tbe plaintiffs lost their debt.
The Sheriff, in his answer to tho ru(,e,
showed for cause why he should not be
made liable for the payment of the
money that the plaintiffs’ attorney in tbe
distress warrant took the same out of his
hand after the levy had been entered there
on, who said, when the property was sold,
ho would fight for the fund. The court de
cided that as the distress warrant in favor
of the plaintiffs had been turned over to the
plaiutiiis’ attorney, aud wa* not iu the hauds
of the Sheriff to be turned over to his suc
cessor iu office, nor in his hauds when the
claim bond in the other case was interposed,
that the rule agalust the Sheriff should bo
discharged. Whereupon the plaintiffs ex
cepted. This case comes within the ruling
of this court, in Lumsden vs. Leonard, dur
ing the present term (not yet reported) and
is controlled by it. Let the judgment of the
court below be affirmed.
IS TWEED IN SAVANNAH?
A Chance to Make Ten Thousand Dollars.
A telegraphic dispatch was received in
t i* city Tuesday, from a high official in
New York city, stating that it was exten
sively rumored in that place that William
M. Tweed, otherwise known as “ Boss ”
Tweed, of the Tammany ring, had gone to
Savannah, and requesting that a look out
be kept for him.
The particulars of the escape of the
“Boss” have been communicated bv tele
graph to the readers of the Morning’News,
aud they can form their own idea of the
report of his flight to Savannah.
A reward of SIO,OOO is offered for his re
capture, and if he be in Savannah or vicin
ity, aud some of our enterprising detectives
want to make a raise, all they have to do is
to apprehend the “Boss,” and he will “see”
that SIO,OOO reward and “go it” SIO,OOO “bet
ter,” which, of course, it is presumed, no
well-regulated official would refuse. Now
here is a chance.
A Nice Question ol Law Decided bv the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court on Monday last de
cided a very nice question of law, and one
involving a very important question.
At the last session of the Superior Court
iu Savannah a number of colored “Masons”
applied to Judge Tompkins for a Grand
Lodge of Colored Masons. Judge Tomp
kins, after carefully examining the matter,
declined to grant the application.
The applicants appealed from Judge
Tompkins s decision to the Supreme Court,
and the case was argued there last week.
The court decided against the appli
cation, on the ground that it was de
fective in itß terms. The decision, how
ever, was not, as stated in yesterday’s Tele
gram, a virtual acknowledgment that there
is nothini: iu the lay that forbids the gr&nt
ing of a charter to such persons as applied
for it in this The decision was merely
confined to thw^most obvious point, and
the inference* that upon the stated defect
the decision sias based was entirely errone-
A FATAL FRACAS BETWEEN
COUSIH9.
Is the Seattle One Tambles Over a Law
and Break* His Neck.
Early Sunday morning Coroner Knorr
was notified that a white man named Joe
Carter, Jr., had been killed by his cousin,
Robert Carter, at the place of C. H. Sheftali,
on the Ogeechee road, about thirteen miles
from the city. About ten o’clock in the
morning he left for the place for the pur
pose of holding an inquest. As the infor
mation of the tragic affair waa accompanied
by an intimation that there was some
mystery as to the cause of death, Coroner
Knorr carried with him Dr. Theo. Starbuck
to hold a post-mortem examination.
t They reached the Sheftali place about one
o’clck, when a j try was empaneled and the
inquest was opened. Dr. Starbucx exam
ined the body thoroughly, there being no
mark* of violence visible; and finaliv dis
covered a dissolution between the fifth and
sixth cervicals of the vertebrae.
Only two witnesses were examined. Mr.
C. H. Sheftali, the proprietor of the saloon
near which the tragedy occurred, wak sworn
and testified that about half-past eleven
o’clock on Saturday night Joe Carter, Jr.,
and Robert Carter, bis cousin, had a tussle
before his saloon. Thev had no weapons,
but struck each other with their fists. Finally
Robert Carter gave Joe Carter a kick on the
side near the short ribs, which waa followed
by other kicks, one causing Joe Carter to
fall across a log that was lying near the
edge of the canal. As Joe did not move for
some minutes, witness went to him, and
upon examining his pulse found it very
weak. He had him conveyed into the sa
loon, where he expired five minutes after
wards. Both men had been drinking, but
were not intoxicated. Deceased had cursed
Robert Carter before the tussling com
menced.
J. B. Horning testified that while the two
Carters were before the saloon, Joe cursed
Robert for a d—d s—n b—h. Robert remon
strated, but deceased continued cursing and
drew b <ck as though he intended striking
his cousin. Robert declared he did not
want to fight, but, finding Joe was deter
mined upon it, knocked him down before he
could make any attack. A scuffle then en
sued in which Robert struck at and knocked
the deceased. After that, deceased
remained on the ground for
some seconds, and then got up on his
knees when he immediately fell down the
canal bank across a log. Witness, with
several others, then went into the saloon,
not thinking that Joe Carter was seriously
injured. As deceased did not make his
appearance however, witness, with Mr.
Sheftali, went out to ascertain the
cause, when he was found to be
dying. He was carried into the sa
loon where he died after making a few
gasps. Deceased did not cry out when he
fell down, nor did he groan or show con
sciousness. One stroke by Robert Carter
was delivered upon the head of the de
ceased.
With this evidence before them, the jury
rendered a verdict that the deceased “came
to nig death in consequence of a blow or
blows inflicted by Robert i arter in self-de
fense.”
Joe Carter, Jr., the deceased, was a native
of Georgia, twenty-two years of age,
unmarried, and was a field laborer.
Robert Carter, immediately after the
death of his cousin was announced, surren
dered himself to Magistrate McLeod King,
by whom he was committed to jail.
Last evening, upon Dr. Knorr’s return to
the city he visited the jail, and, notifying
the prisoner of the result of the inquest,
ordered his discharge from confinement.
The prisoner, however, having no nine* v>
which he could go and no means of reach
ing his home at night, concluded to accept
the hospitality of the jailor until this morn
ing.

Sorrow for the Soldiers—Randall’s
Movement to Cut Down the Army.
[Washington correspondence Chicago Times.]
The army is to be reduced. A measure
will be* introduced by Mr. Randall, early
in the session, cutting down the army
from the present maximum, 25,000, to
15,000. This is a proposition that will
call forth the most earnest effort of the
army ring in this city to secure its defeat.
It is claimed by the Democrats that the
standing army before the war, 13,000,
was enough for all purposes, when the
frontier was more open and exposed than
now. The building of the Union Pacific
Road and* the rapid settlement of the
frontier States have done much to do
away with the need of the army. It is
deemed by disinterested military authori
ties that 15,000 men are ample for all
practical purposes. The army cost last
year in the neighborhood of $40,000,000;
the reduction of the army by forty per
cent, will thus be a net gain to the Treas
ury to the amount of $16,000,000. The
reduction, if carried out in the same
ratio as to officers, will throw out 400 or
naments upon the cold charities of the
world.
The possibility of the passage of the
bill by the Senate ordinarily would not
be of the best, but in view of the fact
that the House is set upon the high road
to economy, the Republicans can hardly
allow themselves to be placed upon rec
ord in opposition to so wholesome a
change. Asa matter of course, all sorts
of influence will be employed to secure
the defeat of this measure, as the army
is at presen the asylum of the sons of
rich and ini. aential families. There is
now fully thirty per cent, more officers in
the service than are required by the num
ber of man composing the rank and file.
The army ring here has for a long time
so manipulated matters that favorites are
detailed on special service at Washington,
while men out of rank are assigned to
far west and other disagreeable duties.
The House proposes to break up this
system of favoritism, cut down the army,
and make what remains do full service.
It looks as if the President, Secretary
Bristow and Mr. Blaine had sat down to
a three-handed or “cut-throat” game for
that Republican nomination. The stake
is hardly worth cheating to win it.

A Widely Applicable Remedy.
Few remedies are applicable to such a wide
range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and this not because it has special properties
adapted to the cure of each—such a pretence
would be manifestly absurd—but on account of
its wonderful improving effect upon the general
tone of the system, and its alterative action upon
the organs cf nutrition, secretion and discharge.
Besides its well known properties as a remedy
for intermittent a: and remitteut fevers, dyspepsia,
constipation, torpidity of the liver, general de
bility, urinary and uterine difficulties, it invaria
bly proves to be highly serviceable in overcom
ing amentia, hypochondria, rheumatism, insom
nia. and many other disorders and disabilities
originating in poverty or imparity of the blood,
nervous weaknesses or over-excitement, or an
imperfect p rformance of the physical functions.

Albany News: From Sunday, 21st ult., till
Wednesday, Bth inst., the sun refused to
gladden us with a single ray. Thick clouds,
damp weather and occasional showers made
the seventeen days dark and dismal, and
though not cold, the temperature was ex
ceedingly disagreeable. The top crop, thank
goodness, was not seriouslv injured by this
dark weather, and it is hoped the fine
weather that set in yesterday morning, and
now promises sunlight and seasonable tem
perature, will persuade the bolls to open
and yield the planter.
Atlanta Herald: The papers in a very im
portant case, in which the State of Georgia
presents a long Dill against the United
States Government, have just been made
out and forwarded to Washington. Just
after (or during) the war, the United States
Government took charge of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad and run it for seven
months in the interest of the government,
the government taking all the receipts of
the road. At the close of this seven months
seizure, the government turned over the
road to the State. In the meantime it had
stocked It with cars, engines, etc., and
when it returned it to the State, forced the
State to pay an exorbitant price for the
rolling stock that had been put upon the
road during the seizure. The State settled
per-force, pat ing thh price demanded, and
took possession of the road again. Gov.
Smith now makes out a bill against the gov
ernment, and begs that the State be paid a
fair rent for the road for the time it was
used, and be repaid the difference between
the money it paid for the rolling stock put
upon the road by the government and the
actual value of the said rolling stock. The
claim will amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars, and it is believed that the gov
ernment will pay. A precedent justifying
the payment was set last year, in which a
railroad in Tennessee was settled with on
just the basis that the Governor asks that
Georgia shall be settled with. The claim is
in the hands of experienced lawyers, who
will prosecute it vigorously before Congress.
No finer tribute has been paid to the
memory of Gen. Benning than this from the
Geneva Lamp: At the present session of
Muscogee Superior Court the Committee on
Resolutions, through its eminent aDd ven
erable chairman, the Hon. A. H. Chappell,
made quite a chaste and succinct report of
he liie, character and services of the late
Henry L. Benning. Speeches, too, of un
u-ual pathos and ability were made upon
the occasion by the Hon. Col. Ingram, Maj.
Moses, Judge Pou, Judge Crawford, Colonel
Russell and other prominent members of the
Columbus bar. The vacant desk, lately
occupied by the distinguished deceased,
was touchingly alluded to by Major Moses,
he indulging the hope that it should not be
occupied until some of tbe younger men of
that bar should be deemed worthy of its
occupancy. Without meaning any, even
tbe least,disparagement to the many bright
luminaries of that legal constellation, we
opine the desk will be long vacant,
if the request be fully complied with.
We are very sure that Grimes, and
Thomas, and Williams, and Crawford and
Russell, the younger, and perhaps others
we wot not of, constitute a galaxy of talent
not easily matched in this section, and they
may fill—doubtless will fill to the full—the
just expectation of their future eminence,
but this they may do and yet be but a poor
second to the matchless Benning. His
great talents, fortified with industry
and energy; hia ambition aflame with
virtue, his courage tempered with
kindness, his judgment quickened with jus
tice, his friendship free from selfishness,
his heart attuned to sympathy, his attain
ments solid and varied, his character un
stained, his integrity unchallenged, his
nonor unsallied. Ah! was he not a man?
The young man who makes that desk the
goal cf bis ambition aDd tails of the highest
civic virtues and honors, fails from natural
inability, and surely not from lack of high
purpose. Benning living or Benning dead,
we delight to love and are proud to honor
him.

Cartersville Express: If Capt. Wooley can
always secure such men to cultivate his rich
lands as Mr. J. A. Hardin or Mr. William

do well. Mr. Hardin, on one hundred and
thirty-five acres of land, has produced this
year one hundred and fifteen bales of cotton,
and the veritable “Bill Arp” on thirty-four
acres hag produced twenty-eight bales! This
is what may be termed splendid success.

Griffin News : The people of Georgia de

currency of the country such as they are
paid in; they want a less number of offices
and officert; they want the Senate branch of
the Legislature abolished, and biennial ses
sions of the body to supercede these annual
sessions. The people of Georgia—the tax
payers—pray for relief; they cry aloud in
their distress. Will they be heard by the
General Assembly soon to meet t The Leg
islature is the servant of the people; can it
afford to deafen its ears to the people’s

Macon Telegraph : “A sample from a bar

Isaac Hardeman, taken from an upland field
in Jones county, near Haddock s Station,
belonging' to Mr. W. A. Chambers. This
field is light sandy hill side, cowpenned.
The sample alluded to is cut from the
ground level, and is upwards of three feet
high, and heavily headed with grain in
the milk. It was a fair sample of
the whole field, and the stalks are
generally as big as a white clay pipe-stem.
The field was sown on the 28th of tugust
last, and its advanced condition is, o;
course, due mainly to the v,arm open fgjj.

From the presentments of the grand jury
of Terrell county : As retrenchment and re
form are necessary at this time, more than
ever before, we recommend a change in our
educational laws, so far as it relates to the
State School Commissioner. Abolish the
office, and make the Comptroller General
the medium of action with the Board of Ed
ucation in each county. One-half of the
rental of the State Road is appropriated to
the Educational Fund,[and one-third of that
($50,000) is paid to salaried t officers under the
present educational system. Retrenchment
is much needed. Economy ought to be
a virtue with a State as well as with an in
dividual, and, as * e groan under the bur
den of excessive taxation, we demand that
every expense incurred be based upon the
lowest figures compatable with public
safety. The present homestead is unrea
sonably large, entailing endless litigation
and unnecessary taxation. We recommend
our Senator and Representative in the
General Assembly to use their influence in
calling a Constitutional Convention to rem
edy this matter. Moreover, there is no public
demand for annual sessions of the Legisla
ture ; is an annual expense of SIOO,OOO, and
for the future a session every two years is
quite as often as there will be any call for
legislation. We ask our Senator and Rep
resentative to introduce a bill repealing the
exemption of $75 worth of property, which
e think has worked harm. We wish no
exemption. And also we request them to
have a bill passed that a tax of $1 be levied
on every dog and shot gun, and $5 upon
every pistol, the proceeds to be placed in
the educational fund.
Macon Telegraph: A rather singular oc
currence took place night before last at the
residence of Mr. J. M. Cherry, in Rutland
district, about seven miles from Macon.
Mr. Cherry was engaged in writing, when a
widowed sister, who is his housekeeper, en
tered the room and asked if he did not smell
something burning. He said he did not,
aDd the lady was about to re-enter
her own room, when the house was
shaken by a terrific explosion, as if a
cannon had been fired in the room.
Mr. Cherry knew that there was a
loaded gun in the room where the explosion
occurred, and his first impression was that
a thief had probably entered the house and
shot at his sister. He ran at once to the
room and found it filled with a dense smoke,
but his sister was near the door unhurt. He
could find no one else in the room. As soon
aa the smoke cleared away an
was made, and it was discovered
that a small keg of powder in a
closet of the room had exploded. The
door of the closet was blown open,
the ceiling above it was torn through, and
nearly all the glass in the house was
broken. The lady has several children,
but fortunately none of them were at
home at the time, and possibly, being
absent, escaped serious if not fatal injury.
Mr. Cherry is unable to account for the ex
plosion, except upon the theory that some
friction matches, which were in the same
closet with the powder, were ignited by
rats. The keg contained about three
pounds of powder, and made a very start
ling report. It is fortunate that no one
was injured.
The Albany News says in regard to the
Treasury matter : There is, in our opinion,
but one point that will remain in doubt af
ter Captain Jones is properly heard, as he
will be, and that is the conflict between
himself and Mr. Alton Angier, as to the
$21,000 of paid past due bonds. Mr. Angier
avers tint these bonds were paid and turned
over to him in New York, by the Fourth Na
tional Bank, uncancelled, and by him
brought to Atlanta, placed in the vault of
the State Treasury, two days before Captain
Jones took charge, without cancellation and
without notice to his father, the then Treas
urer, or to Captain Jones, the new
Treasurer. Per contra, Capt. Jones swears
if they were ever placed there he had
no notice of the fact, gave no eceipt for
them, and never saw them ti 1 they were
presented at the treasury for * iyment. As
they were perfect, and bore no marks or
evidence of being “crooked,” and belonging
to the exact class of bonds he was required
to pay by the Nutting bill, he supposes they
were paid without suspicion, as they were
without any knowledge on hia part of previ
ous payment. If Angier did place the
bonds in the T ault uncancelled, after hav
ing lugged them all the way from
New York at his own risk, it is difficult
to account for their abstraction, and as
Captain Jones swears he had no notice of
their being in the vault, and never saw or
heard of them till presented for payment,
there seems to be an issue of veracity
which the people or the courts will have to
decide; and in such a case it is not probable
that Captain Jones will suffer mneh. As to
the undercurrent scandal about Captain
Jack’s private financial transactions, there
is nothing in it. He accounts for every
dollar paid to relieve his MtHedgeville pro
perty from mortgage embarrassment, aa
well as that expended in building his home
in Atlanta. Not a dollar came irom ihe
State treasury, or from any other improper
source, and of this fact any gentle man can
be amply assured by five minutes interview
with him.
Mr. Huet’s theory of the water loco
motive has excited considerable interest.
He thinks it is a mistake for ships to have
to force their bulk through the water,
meeting thereby the large opposing sur
face of water and a sliding friction over
the whole of their immersed surface;
this he h olds to be, in fact, as muoh of
an error as it would be to dismount rail
way cars from their wheels and drag
them*, like sledges, along the rails. He
boldly argues that vessels should be
mounted on rolling drums, that these
drums should give principally the power
of dotation, and that they should be
driven round, as paddles, to move the
ship forward. In this way there would
be a floating locomotive, mounted on its
supporting wheels or rollers; the vessel
would offer no resistance but a rolling
one to the motion ; the whole of the sup
ported weight of the ship would be used
as useful pressure to give adhesive fric
tional effect to the rollers, and a high ve
locity attained.
“Soup, sir?” exclaimed a hotel waiter.
“No, sir! Comedian,” was the reply of
the dignified actor.
Popularity. —lt is a self-evident fact
that unless a person possesses sterling
worth he will not have the esteem of his
fellow-men. It is true, that for a time
he may deceive, but eventually his faults
will be exposed.
This is applicable also to articles recom
mended to the confidence of purchasers.
For a brief period by false commenda
tions and glittering exterior, they impose
on the people, but as soon as tested they
are cast aside. The test in ten years has
proven the intrinsic worth of Dr. Tutt’s
Hair Dye, and to-day no preparation en
joys greater popularity. From year to
year the demand for it has increased, and
now it is in general use both in this and
foreign countries. No stronger proof of
its value could be given.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, December 14. 18T5. J
General Remarks.— Trade the past week
has shown a decided improvement over that of
the week previous in all departments of business.
There have been a number of buyers from the
interior, and the local and near-by retailers have
been purchasing quite heavily, principally of
holiday goods. Dry goods men say the trade has
been very good with them, but not so large as
for the corresponding date last year. They, how
ever,anticipate heavy sales for the next few weeks.
Groceries and provisions have been very active,
and a large aggregate amount of business has
been done at our quotations. Buyers are not
generally investing to any great extent in heavy
goods, but are taking only such as will meet
with ready sale for Christmas and New Year’s
holidays. Flour cont nues dull and weak,
though prices remain unchanged since our last
report.
The flinancial market has undergone no ma
terial change during the week. Money is easy,
and stocks and bonds have commanded good
prices.
Cotton.—The early part of the week the
market for spot cotton was rather dull and weak,
but later the better advices from controlling
markets have enabled holders to put on a firmer
front and quotations have advanced on all
grades. A few buyers have held back from buy
ing at the advance, but finding that holders would
not yield to their views, they have latterly pur
chased very freely, and a good business has
been done tor the week. Below we give a de
tailed review of the market for the week, which
will give all the necessary information concern,

The following is a resume of the week:
Wednesday, December 8. —Market firm early in
the day under better advices from Liverpool, but
the easier tenor of New York dispatches toned the
market down. Selections were far from good.
Liverpool closed active and firmer, with sales of
15.00i) bales and an advance of l-16d, and New
York steady, with l-16c advance. In futures 300
bales were sold for January delivery, at 13c. The

Thursday, December 9.—The market has been
firm all day for the desirable cottons, while the
poorer grades sold a shade lower. There seems
to be no inherent strength in the position of the
market. Liverpool closed firm and unchanged,
with sales of 14,00d bales, and New York firm, at
the closing prices of yesterday. Our market

lower grades and stains did not partake of the
firmness of the higher. Liverpool closed firm

New York steady with advances on higher grades.
