Mr. Ransom | y OJ . arrC arages of taxes due from said last mentioned day and year by said tax col 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.

Harrison, for defendants. development ct (he mineral and other resources of the ritett. No progress was made to-day in tlic General Assembly in tlie election of Coun ty Judges, although a number of candi date* had been selected by the Iteadjus- ters in caucus last night. The delay was due to some demoralization amoug the members of the dominant party, arising from dissatisfaction with several of the caucus nominees. The resolution was therefore adopted, postponing tlie joint order until to-morrow. In the meantime a caucus of the Readjusters will bo held to-night. Everything will be set nght, and the work will go on again. 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- insf the cotton which was passing through 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 ture Better let tbe committee act on its own" discretion with regard to sudisug- After a brief defense by Mr. Window of his amendment, Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said he was tired cf these Con gressional inrestigatioffs. The negro ex odus would settle itself. The talk about Ihe causes of the movement was gammon. 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 ification of .Mr. Voorlices’ resolution, a vole was taken thereupon, and resulted in ayes 27, nays 12. Tlie Senate then ad journed. Debate on the Utes. In the House a bill wtis introduced and referred as follows by Mr. Gibson, of Lou isiana : To authorize national banks to make loans on real estate; also to repeal section 3412 of tlic revised statutes with regard to national banks. By Mr. Ackliu, of Louisiana—For the regulation »f tho inter-Stato freight anil passenger rates, aud to relieve the same from tlie restrictions of local quarantine. Mr. Gateli, of Missouri, from the Com mittee on Agriculture, reported a bill to repeal so much of the internal revenue law as prohibits farmers and planters from selling leaf tobacco to others than manu facturers without paying a special tax. Referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Scales, of North Carolina, Chair man of the Committee on Indian Affairs, reported hack, with amendments, the Sen ate hill for tlie removal of the Utes from Utah, and asked for its immediate consid eration. The House went into a committee of the whole, laid aside previous business and proceeded to debate on it at great length. Artillery for Georgia. Washington,December 18.—The sub committee of the House committee on militia, to whom was referred the resolu tion authorizing the Secretary of War to furnish the Cherokee Artillery Company, of Rome, Georgia, with a battery of field artillery and equipments, have agreed to report tavorably upon the hill, with an amendment tliat the Secretary of War he authorized to loan to said company a bat tery of four guns with equipments and take bond for their safe keeping and re turn when called for. General Bcnnct, Chief of Ordnance, has assured Represen tative Speor, Chairman of the sub-coui- mittee, that he can readily supply guns and equipments. Andrew Clark, Internal Revenue Col lector at Atlanta, Georgia, iu a dispatch to Commissioner Raum, reports seizure of four illicit distilleries, and says the deputy marshal accompanying him, has mado several arrests. Policy of the Central Railroad De clared. Savannah, December 18.—At tlie the stockholders meeting to-day, Presi dent Wadlcy, of the Georgia Central 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 vannah: that the company were prepared 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 open up new lines which would injnrious- lv affect Savannah and the Central Geor gia Railroad, when there was no necessi tv for it.
