lector; that said tax fi. fa., on
the 24th day of July, - 1872, was by the
deputy sheriff of said county levied on the
property of the plaintiff as one of tlie
defendants therein; that afterwards (to-
wit), on the 13th of 3Iay, 1873, by the ad
vice of counsel he paid off said fi. fa. as
against himself by paying to said county
through its attorney and the deputy sher
iff the sum of$707.52, and took the con
trol ofsaid fi. fa., as is allowed securities
in such cases, and sought to reimburse
himself by enforcing it against his cosure
ties aud defendants pro rata; that ou the
3d of July and ou tlic 20th of August res
pectively he caused said fi. fa. to be levied
on tlie lands of S. W. Blackwell and E.
\V. Baynes, two of his co-sureties and de
fendants, who thereupon filed their afli-
davits^of illegality to said fi. fa., which
were sustained by the court at the Octo
ber term thereof, 1870, and the said fi. fa.
was ordered to be quashed and annulled
on the ground that the same was not
founded upon nor issued from any court
of competent jurisdiction, and was with
out any judgment of any court to support
it, which judgment quashing said fi. fa.
and dismissing the levies aforesaid made
thereunder, was not excepted to and is
now of force. Tho plaintiff alleges that
there was nothing due from said tax col
lector to tlie county for taxes when said
fi. fa. was issued, hut if there
was, is willing to pay his share
of what may be found to be due, and prays
that an accounting may he had between
the plaintiff and said county of Jasper
and tlie other defendants, and if nothing
shall be found to have been due by said
tax collector to the county, that it may be
adjudged to pay the plaintiff tho $707 52
collected from him, or whatever amount
may bo found to be justly and equitably
due to him, etc. To this equitable action
of the plaintiff the county commissioners
demurred: First, because it appears on
the face of the plaintiff’s declaration that
his cause of action is barred by the statute
of limitations. Second, for misjoinder of
parties. The court sustained the demur
rer, and the plaintiff excepted. It appears
from the hill of exceptions that pending
the demurrer, the plaintiff moved to amend
his declaration by striking therefrom tho
names of the parties objected to, and after
the judgment of the court upon the de--
tnurrer tlie plaintiff voluntarily took an or
der to strike the names of tho tax collector
and his securities from the declaration.
One ground of exception is, that pend
ing the demurrer, the court allowed the
defendant’s counsel to read Benton’s affi
davit of illegality aud the judgment of tho
court thereon, which was not mentioned
or referred to in the plaintiff’s declaration.
The judge certifies that he did not recol
lect it, but states that the judgment of the
court was predicated solely upon the facts
contained in the declaration. The only
question therefore for our discussion, is
whether the demurrer was properly sus
tained on the ground that the plaintiff’s
cause of action was barred by the statute
of limitations. The money was paid by
the plaintiff on the tax execution issued
by the county judge in favor of the county
ou tlic 13th of May, 1873, aud the judg
ment declaring the fi. fa. void was ren
dered in October, 1876. In view of the
facts of this case, as disclosed on the face
of the plaintiff’s declaration, did the stat
ute of limitations commence to run against
him from tlie time of the payment
of the money, or from the time the execu
tion was quashed by the judgment of the
court ? The county judge, who issued the
tax fi. fa., was the officer and agent of the
county, and had by law jurisdiction and
control of the assessment and control of
the taxes of the county, and, in its name
and behalf, issued the tax fi. fa., which
was regular upon its face, and caused it
to be levied upon the plaintiff’s property as
a valid aud legal fi. fa. To savo his prop
erty from sale under it, the plaintiff paid
it as one of the tax collector’s securities, so
as to enable him to control against Ins co
sureties, as provided by the 2170th section
of the code. Can the county of Jasper,
the defendant, during the time it was
(through the plaintiff who had been sub
rogated to all its rights) enforcing the fi.
fa. as a legal and valid fi. fa., it having*
coerced the payment of it from him, an
with the money in its treasury, thus ob
tained, plead the statute of limitation^ un
til the fi. fa. was afterwards quashed? We
think not, and that the statute in this case
only commenced to run in favor of the de
fendant when the fi. fa. was quashed in
October, 1876, and therefore the plaintiff’s
cause of action was not barred by the stat
ute of limitations, and that the court erred
in sustaining the defendant's demurrer to
the plaintiff’s declaration.
Let the judgment of tbe court below be
reversed.

Fire.
PETEKsurito, Va.. December 18.—A
large cotton gin at Weldon, North Caro
lina. belonging to Thomas L. Emery, was
destroyed by tire to-dav with fifteen bates
xnd a Uigc quantity of loose cotton. The
logs is $5,000. no insurance. The fee
originated by the friction of the gin lgnit-

it. An adjoining building valued at
about $200, belonging to the Petersburg
Railroad Company, also took fire and was
completely destroyed.
Discussing the Exodus in the Senate.
Washkotox, December 18.—The tak
ing np by the Senate of Mr. Voorhees
resolution for tbe appointment of a com
mittee to investigate the negro exodtw in
the South, led to a lore * nd animated de
bate, which occupied most of the fore
noon. Mr. Yoorhoes said it was desirable
to know whether the exodus was or was
not caused, as alleged, by unjust political
treatment of the negroes at the South.
Indiana did not wish to be colonized by
negroes any more than California to he
colonized by China. He considered Mr.
Windom's amendment, providing for in
quiry with regard to setting apart separate
territories for the negro colonists prema

colored emigration had been diverted from
Kansas to Indiana.
Mr. Windom.—Perhaps because the ne
groes, as Mr. Hill says, arc so fond ot
Democratic rule, and Indiana is about
the only Northern Democratic State left.
Mr. McDonald.—I would suggest tliat
it is because they are more foinl of Demo
cratic than Republican charity.
Mr. Windom quoted from tlic reiiort of
Senators Bayard, Beck and Blair during
several years when they were investigating
the condition of the Southern negroes to
the effect tliat in the natural courso of
ovonts there was no future alternative for
the negro except exodus and extinction.
Mr. Hill called attention to tlie fact
tliat when this report was made the Re
publicans had control of the Southern
States. Tlie government’s situation was
then indeed deplorable, and if it had con-
continued, there might indeed have bean
no alternative between exodns and ex
tinction. But the situation was now hap
pily changed.
After some further debate, in which
Messrs. Ingalls, Iliil, Jonas, Davis and
others narticipatcd, and after a slight mod

amendment tliat the Secretary of War he

Policy of the Central Railroad De
clared.
Savannah, December 18.—At tlie
the stockholders meeting to-day, Presi

Railroad, announced that the policy of
the company had been to leave undis
turbed the'established centres of trade,
but the ample facilities it possessed would
be employed to circumvent hostile legis
lation. which had been foreshadowed in
the interest of other lines detrimental to
the Georgia Central and the city of Sa

to accord every privilege desired by the
Northwest in the transportation of freight,
and he could not divine the motive ot
those who, rumor had it, were striving to
