King and 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.

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. Bankrupt Roll.

[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.

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. declO-F, M, W&wlw Time-Proof Teeth.

It is generally understood that he and Col. Clarke, through the influ ence of Dr. Little, have dug up the Okefe nokee Swamp and carried it to Valdosta, where It can be surveyed at leisure. The rumor that Col. Clarke has carried it to At ianta, is, Pendleton savs, the most ab surd of stories. The Augusta Chronicle says that Joe Brown is not a yankee. Why didn’t Gregg go on with the biography? After awhile somebody will deny that j'oseph rode a bull to town. Nothing will recompense Colnmbus for tbe frivolous conduct of the&tric&l companies in that city this season. Col. Clarke, of the Atlanta Constitution, will return to the Okefenokee in a few days. He lost a shoe-string near Floyd’s Island, and he is going back after it. Assistant Postmaster J. C. Hogan, of Co lumbus, is dead. I'be City Council of Americas has ex empted the real estate of its members from taxation. What’s the use of hoiding office if you don’t have some privileges? Mr. Jacob Carreker, an old and well-known citizen of Talbot county, is dead. The Talbotton burglars are all amateuis. They make bold attempts, but invariably wake the people. Talbotton complains that her cemetery is out of repair. Captain N. Cobb and his family, from Missouri, have settled in Quitman. The Standard says that Mr. T. C.

Nothing has been done to it, Mr. Belyeu declaring that it has not been “tricked.” It was found in a hen’s nest in its present condition and remains the same.

This is true to a certain ex tern. nib seem to live in terror of the reds, and unless haifi pushed by dogs never encroach upon the range of the latter. One pair of reds (the species being in some sort migratory) will drive out an entire colony of grays. The reds are slowly going in a westerly direction. The pecu liarities here mentioned are notorious among old fox-hunters. It is very probable that Nic Thompson, the murderer of Capt. J. H. Hunter, will hang on the 17 th inst. Quitman wants a concrete pavement. . A young Mr. Hobbs, of Warren county, attempted to beat his (logs while out hunt ing the other day with the outt of his gun. Iu the melee the gun was discharged, and Mr. Hobbs killed. Mr. J. W. Feagin, of Albany, failed last week, and his creditors gutted his store of everything they could lay hands on. That is one way to settle matters. The Albany News calls it “burglary under the forms of the law,” but is it under the forms of the law ? Some Quitman hunters caught three ’pos sums and a rattlesnake from one gopher hole last week. E. M. Fitzgibbon, a native of Cork, Ire laud, was found dead near Buford the other "day. lids thought "that J n hn Barleycorn had something to do with it. A negro raper wag lynched at Spring Place, Murray countv, on the night of the 7th. Hon. W. D. Anderson, of Cobb county, has resigned his position as Representative in the Legislature. He has become a Minis ter of the Gospel, and has been assigned to duty at Eatonton. Miss Ellen Gilbert was married in Albany recently to Mr. Alexander Nabers, of Frark lin county. In this, she hut followed the scriptural injunction—she loved her Nabers as herself. The Herald says that many of the farmers who bring their cotton io Atlanta now are selling out tbeir traps and goiug to Texas. It is hard to account for this freak when it is remembered that the graveyards in Geor gia, while not so numerous, are just as eli gible as those in Texas. The Oglethorpe Echo says that a roman tio marriage lately took place in Albany. A young lady of that place wrote to a young man of Winterville, Oglethorpe county, that she had heard him highly spoken of, and if he saw fit to pay her a visit, and could stand a satisfactory examination, that she would re ward him with her heart and hand. He ac cepted the proposition and started at once to see the lair one. He arrived at her home Monday, was inspected and received, and the couple were married the next day. Valdosta had the first killing frost on the 10th inst. The saw-mill of Dr. L. P. Anderson, near Brunswick, was burned by an incendiary last week. 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. We are indebted lo Mr. J. W. Leigh for a box of very fine oranges and a few samples of bananas, grown on Batter’s Island, near Darien. Thi, proves that Georgia can pro duce as fine oranges as Florida. Nearly two hundred barrels, equal to sixtv thousand oranges, have been snipped to Philadelphia from Butler’s Island thus far this season. Georgia is a right good place to stay at any how. YouDg Allen 8. Chamberlain, of Atlanta, an exemplary young man, is dead. The Columbus Times has passed into the hands of Col. John H. Martin and Mr. T. R. Winn. Col. Martin is one of the ablest edi tors in the South, and under his control the Times cannot fail of snecess. A crowd of Federal soldiers attacked and seriously beat Willie B. Camming, of At lanta, the other day. On tbe 30th nit., Mr. Arthur Hanglin, of Jackson county, aged seventy-five, was married to Miss’ Saliie Mintz, aged fifty eight. Mr. S. B. Claghorn has been elected Mayor of Colnmbus. Mrs. G. W. Findlay, of Macon, is dead. Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, wag in Atlanta on Saturdav. A young Michigander, named Nichols, wag arrested in Atlanta the other day for stealing a lot of money from an old man who was enjoying a Turkish bath. Cartersville Express: If Capt. Wooley can always secure such men to cultivate his rich lands as Mr. J. A. Hardin or Mr. William Arp (the veritable “Bill” himself), he will 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. Capt. Wooley’s farm is near Kingston, in this county. If there is another county in Georgia able to make such a showing" we should like to hear from it. The Bartow farmers are hard to beat. Griffin News : The people of Georgia de sire a convention to remodel our State Con stitution. They want a convention to strike from that Constitution all the obnoxious features engrafted by Republican rule; they want our officers paid their salaries in the 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 wants ? We don’t observe that Joey B. is slipping twenty-five thousand dollars a month into the State Treasury recently. However, it is probable that Joey is too busily engaged in preventing the students of the State Univer sity from buttering their bread on the left hand side. We have missed the stereo typed correspondence between Joey and the Comptroller for several months. * Eatonton has received seven thousand one hundred and fifty bales of cotton this sea son. The Rome Courier, alluding to the remark of the Athens Watchman to the effect that Senator Norwood may, after all, bo his own successor, says : “And why should he not? He is one of the purest and best men in the State, and his ability cannot be questioned. He is decidedly the man for the place.” The Columbus Times is growing apace. It accuses us of meriting an amusing slan der. There is no getting at the bottom of Columbus logic. Col. Clarke talks about a prairie “looming up” in Okefenokee. Prairies in Okefenokee are said to have a habit of loomiug up. But it is curious to remember that they only “loomed” a day or two after Col. Clarke had arrived with his double-barreled demijohn. Uglethorpe county has a curiosity in the shape of an ox with, a bunch of hair growing on one of his eye-balls. Mrs. J. E. Hudgens, of Macon, was shot in her hand the other day by her husband. Col. Watson kindly calls it an unpleasant row. Putnam county has had an elopement case. Mr. George Amerson walked off with Miss Saliie Reynolds. Don’t talk to us about Columbus critics. “Uriah Heep,” iu “Mieawber,” didn’t have his face pale enough to suit the part the other night. Valdosta is to have anew post office. Macon Telegraph : “A sample from a bar ley field was brought us yesterday by Col. 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. WtratTs-to-becomcJvi’ tliis- cyop cold winds do blow and the ground freezes, we are not able to say, but shall be pleased to know hereafter. Think what a country for stock this is if rightly treated. Our cat tle, hogs and sheep, with proper manage ment, should spread over a thousand hills and be as fat as a tallow candle, without eating a single grain of food from the crib. 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. (Commercial. 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, ing it.
