Death of Bishop John Barry.
A telegraphic dispatch was received in thi* city
laie on Wednesday night, announcing the death,
at Paris, of Joh.v Barrv, the Catholic Bishop of
the Diacese of Georgia. The intelligence wae not
altogether unexpected, as it is well known that
the Reverend gentleman hud been so extremely
unwell for many months past, that but little hope
was indulged of his recovery. It is believed that
his disease was caused by the labors and respon
sibilities which were entailed on him by the du
ties of the office of Bishop of this Diocese. Many
severe attacks of disease, in former years, had ma
terially impaired his naturally feeble constitution,
and the last attack found his system too much en
ervated to induce even hope of restoration to
health.
Dr. Barry was born in Parish Olgate, county
of Wexford, Ireland, in July, 1799, and emigrated
to the United States, about the year 1 j 22. He was
educated at St. Peters College, in Wexford, and
completed his studies under Bishop England, in
Charleston. He was ordained to the Priesthood
in 1825, and consecrated as Bishop of the Diocese
of Georgia, in August, 1857.
Dr. Barry was well and favorably known
throughout South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
as having been identified with the Catholic church
for thirty-four years, as Pastor Vicar Gener
and Bishop. He was well educated and highly
regarded as a pious and worthy minister, by Bish
ops England, Reynolds and Garti.amd, and by
the Catholic congregations generally—but outside
of his religious associations, Dr. Barry was uni
versally loved as a man.- Many a protestani heart
will be made sad, aud many an eye be bathed in
tears, when it is known that Dr. Barry is dead,
Hi 9 charity and benevolence were proverbial. He
knew no sect or creed, color, or condition, when
an appeal was made to him for assistance, and he
knew no fear of disease where he could assuage its
rigors, or contribute consolation and help. His
kindness was unbounded.
Many of our citizens have a lively and grateful
remembrance of Dr. Baury’s invaluable services
in this city, during the scourging yellow fever epi
demic of 18S9. In that alarming time of pesti
lence, sickness and death, he moved among u&
like an angel of mercy, and ministered to the
wants of the sick and the dying. When our city
hospital contained as many patients among the
destitute as could be attended to, Dr. Barry
changed his residence into a public hospital, and
was nurse and physician for the poor and helpless
in that trying time. It may be agreeable to our
citizens to notice (he recorded appreciation of bis
services, although hundreds among us remember
i t with lively gratitude.
The Board of Health in this city, on the 4th of
Nov. 1839 Alfhkd Comming, Mayor—
“ Resolved, unanimously. That the thanks of this
Board be tendered to the'Bight Rev. John England,
Bishop of Charleston, for his promptness and lib
erality in furnishing aid to our sick poor ; to the
Rev. John Barry, for the use of his parsonage, and
his unremiting attention to the patients ; and, in
particular, to the three Sisters of Charity, from
Charleston, who have so long, and with such con
stant care, skill aud kindness, taken charge of the
hospital.
“ Unsolved, That the Mayor be requested to for
ward copies of the above resolution to Dr. England
and to the Rev. John Barry."
Dr. Barry’s philanthropic heart did not cease
in its labor of love, when the epidemic abated.
Many parents had died, and their offspring were
left to the cold charities of the world. He sought
them out; took them to his residence, and gave
them “ sufficient raiment and their daily bread.”
He provided nurses for the very young; opened a
school for the education of others, aud continued
his labors until he had the pleasure of seeing many
of his orphans reach manhood, and prove them
solves worthy of his beneficent kindness.
The beautiful illustration of the principles of
charity to orphans which Dr. Barry’s example
furnished entitles him virtually to be regarded as
the suggester, if not the projector and founder of
the orphan asylum in this city. “ His works live
after him,’’ and his memory will be enshrined iu
*very heart that appreciates true philanthropy.

e Cold Weather.
A considerable change in the temparature of
the weather has occurred, since Wednesday after

Jtlilledgeville Correspondence.
Milledgeville, Ga. Dec. 7th, 1859.
Editor Constitutionalist-: — Sir : —The pupils of
the Georgia Institute of the Blind gave one of their
interestingexhibitionsin the Representative cham
ber last night. Mr. Tracy, the Senator from
Bibb was requested to announce the purpose of
the exhibition. He said it was easiest to tell what
it was not. It was not a bid for aid ; they came
wilh no flaming reports to appeal to the charity of
Georgia, already so nobly extended; but to render
their thanks for the past. The Institute had no
boasts to make, but she brought her pupils to the
Legislative halls of the State that had created, and
like ihe mother of the Gracci, said, these are mv
jewels.
The opening song, accompanied by the instru
mental music of the olind pupils, was a hymn of
praise. There were few hearts in that crowded hall
that did not respond, amen! to that chorus of
“praise ye the Lord,” for while only God can un
seal the eyelids of the blind and pour the blessed
light of nature on the mirror of the braiD, yet
Georgia has followed in the footsteps of the Re
deemer, and learning paints her mental pictures
and music weaves its magic spell to atone for the
loss of sight
The pupils were examined in Arithmetic, Natu
ral Philosophy, Grammar, Music, etc. The result
of the examinations would have|been highly credi
table to those that can see, and were truly won
d rlul considering the unfortunate condition of the
pupils.
Several of the pupils read aloud. The Bible used
is from the American Bible Society, printed on
one side of the page in raised letters, and contain
ed in seven large folio volumes.
I thought I could detect tears in more eyes than
one as the silvery voice of a little blind girl read
that glorious truth, “ God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever be
lieveth on Him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life.” Several pieces of music were called
for by the audience, and were well sung by the
girls. The entertainment closed with the full
chorus, “The flag of our country forever, and three
cheers for the red, white and blue.”
The principal announced that the new building
was completed, andjthe doors of the Georgia insti
tute For blind are now open for the free admission
of every blind child in Georgia.
On the bill of the Senator from Troup, that was
voted down yesterday, the Judiciary committee
reported against the passage.of the bill; there was
a warm debate on the question; Mr. Seward op
posed it with his usual ability. Mr. Hill, the au
thor of the bill, said that he would rather go home
with the consciousness of being the author of such
a law, than to be Governor of Georgia, It is a
matter of regret that the ambition of the gentle
man cannot be gratified, without recording upon
the statute books of Georgia what would, in my
humble opinion, be the most objectionable law
that was ever enacted. The bill provided for a
penalty of five hundred dollars to be inflicted upon
every Ordinary, that issued marriage license where
either the man or woman was under twenty-oue
years old, without the consent of the parents or
guardian. (One Senator wanted to include ne
groes, and require the consent of the owner, over
seer, or employer. Another wanted all persons
over twenty-five years old to be married by a spe
cial committee, and, all persons refusing, to be
transported to the mountains of Ilepsidam, and
there gnaw a file.) The argument for the bill was,
that it was larceny to steal a horse, and tncendi
aryism to burn a house; but, says the Senator from
Troup, if a man steals my daughter, he shall be
my son ; and if he kills.me in doing it, he shall
inherit my property. Shame on a man that would
compare a child to a horse; why not enact a law
that a child shall be but a chattel personal, anu
subject to sale by the parents according to the cus
toms of the E ast ? In this State, when a child is
born white it is prima facie evidence that it is
free; it does not come into existence by its knowl
edge'or consent, and if the parental teachings
have been so defective that the child has an in- <
chnation for alliance with one low or unworthy, it <
is then too late to interfere. i
The bill would, if a law, allow guardians in all i
cases to keep possession of the property of their
wards until they came to the age of twenty-one, or <
to force them into marriages of convenience. It <
is argued tbat a child over fourteen can choose a
guardian, or remove one for just cause. What t
young girl would lay aside her modesty, that '
brightest crown of woman, and appeal to a dry old i
Ordinary to get rid of her guardian, so that she <
could marry ? It is understood that a girl has to 1
be persuaded to marry, and not that she litigates |
for the boon. Such a law might be a good thing ,
to keen property in certain families, or to uniie
mammoth estates; but what old man or woman, <
who has outlived the affections of youth, is tit to
set in judgment on the heart of a child ? Man <
may control the lightning, aud make it his carrier i
dove, he may band the earth with iron, and aDi
hilate time and space —yea, he may read the his
tory of the pre-Adamic earth as eugraved upon the
rocks, or tread the glittering pathways of the stars,
and listen to the hymn of the universe, of which
“ The ealms of space are the octave bars.
And its music notes are the suns and stars.”
But no human power can control the generous im
pulses of that most incomprehensible thing, the
human heart; and the eye that can follow ihe
comet, as it flies through space, like “a shuttle in
the loom of God,” is baffled at the title page of
the book of human nature.
Mr. Morns, of Franklin, moved the reconsidera
tion of the bill, and (he motion was promptly voted
down. The hill is dead ; aud I humbly trust is
beyond the power of galvanism or the hand ol re
surrection.
The joint committee of both Houses, to whom
was relered the question of adjournment, report in
favor of prolonging the session to the 16th inst.
The report of the joint committee was taken up,
and the resolution to adjourn on the 1 Gtli not re
ceiving the constitutional two-tbirds, it was lost.
It it is not reconsidered to-morrow, Ihe Legislature
will adjourn at midnight Saturday the loth mst.
The following Senate bills hare passed :
A bill to define and punish vagrancy in free per
sons of color. 1 believe that the punishment is a
forfeiture of liberty.
A hill to provide for the distribution of the es
tates ot intestates.
The proposal to give the Justice’s courts juris
diction, m actions sounding in damages, was lost.
A bill passed amending the divorce law of 1806,
so as to deprive juries of the right to dispose of
the property of the husband to the use of the wife
and children at pleasure.
The bill to exempt physicians from jury duty
was lost.
The bill to provide a more summary discharge
from debt was tabled indefinitely.
A bill to abolish the Senatus Academicus, ahd
to vest its power in a board of trustees—passed.
The bill to provide for the ebangiug the names
of persons—passed.
The bill to amend the acls in refference to the
election of officers in Augusta, is tabled indefidite
ly.
The Senate has passed a mle restricting debate
to five minutes.
A bill has passed the House, to amend the land
laws of this State. I could not catch the provi
ionss.
The House has spent the most of the day in de
bate, on the State aid bill. Mr. Hartridg'e made
one of the best speeches of the session on it. I
will be able to place it before your readers to
morrow.
The bill incorporating a company to clear out
the obstructions to the navigation of the Savannah
river, and locate its office in Augusta, has pass
ed.
The bill to give the election of certain officers
in the city of Augusta came up, on its passage.
There was a motion to lay it on the table, predica
ted on the fact that did it not originate with the
Senator from Richmond—ayes 9, nays 93. The
bill was then made the special order for Saturday
the 10th inst.
It is thought by many that the session will be
yet postp ned, as the appropriation bill has not
vet reached the Senate, if so, then the wishes of
the Democrats of Richmond County may prevail,
and if so, the next elections there will probably
show that old county on the popular side.
There is a big Opposition petition here headed
by the Mayor, praying the eleciiocs to be let alone.
There is aiso one from the democrats praying tne
passage of the bill.
The vote has been taken on the State aid bill in
I the House, and it is lost by twenty-five majori
ty. The real strength of the majority against is
about ten, but several went azainsf because their
pet amendments weie volei down. There will pro
bably be an effort to reconsider, but if amend
ments are allowed, it will be too late in the ses
sion for it_to be concurred in by the Senate.
One word more about the matrimonial bill of
the Senator from Troup. There is much feeling
on the subject; many members consider it the
most important bill of the session, and some say
that it was put down for political reasons, Lecause
Benjamin Hill was its author. That is not so, for
there is no man in the Legislature that can com
mand more tesDectful attention, or words
weigh more than his. The truth is, that the
power of fathers to disinherit their children is co
ercive power enough; and as for the bond of affin
itv, I do not consider that when a gentleman
marries a girl, that he marries her family. The
Senator from Troup, when he compared such mar
riages with horse stealing, did not know' that at
least three eminent members of this Legislature
married girls that prefered the love of a husband
to the approbation of a sire.

From Athens Paper.
Supreme Court Decisions.
The following points were decided by the
Supreme Court at its recent session in this place •
Emma Ingram et al. vs. William Fraley, Execu
tor, Ac. In Error, from Hancock Superior Court.
The testator made his will m the following lan
guage: “I, Lafayette Ingram, * * being at
this time sick, but of sound and disposing mind
and memory, do make the following disposition of
tny property : Owing to the peculiar condition of
my property, and being desirous of keeping nay
negroes together as long as it can be done, and
having the utmost confidence in the integrity ot
my long-tried f iend, William Fraley, * * and
that he will entirely carry out my wishes and de
sires as they may be expressed to him by me, eith
er verbally or in writing, and knowing that my
said friend will by this be able much more effec
tually to dispose of my estate as I wish it done,
than I could at this time do myself, and with much
less trouble to himself, I hereby give to the said
Fraley my entire estate, real and personal, notes
and other debts due me, money and property of
every kind :” Held, that inasmuch as the will dis
closes a testamentary scheme in the mind of the
testator, which was never perfected—it being evi
dent that he wished a further disposition made of
his estate—the legatee Fraley takes the estate as
trustee for the next of kin, (heirs at law.) Judg
ment reversed.
W’ingfield, Stephens, Toombs, for plaintiff in
error; B. H.Hili, Cobb for defendant in error.
Horatio J. Goss and wife vs. John Eberhart,
administrator et al—ln error, from Elbert Supe
rior Court. A testator bequeaths certain property,
with the following qualification: “My will a.nd
desire is, and I do hereby give and bequeath all
of the property of every description that I hnve
given, or may hereafter give, to each ot my daugh
ters ; I give to them and|their children, heirs of
their body, and not subject to be sold by their re
spective husbands or liable for debts in any man
ner whatever. ” Held, that each of the daughters
takes an estate for life in the property bequeathed
to her with remainder to her children surviving
her. Judgment reversed.
Cobb, Hester & Akernian for plaintiff in error :
Reese for defendant in error.
Wm. H. Adams, et al. Executors, Propounders,
vs. James M. Sandige & wife, Caveators, in error,
from Elbert Superior Court. The executor, who
had managed an estate for several years, and par
tially administered the same, beiDg called upon to
prove the will, in solemn form, offers himself as
a witness, on the trial, in favor of the will; and in
order to qualify himself as such witness, proposes
to relinquish his claim for commissions, and to
deposit whatever sum of money the court should
deem sufficient to cover all costs: Held, that he
was properly excluded trom testifying under such
a general relinquishment, and ofler. Judgment
affirmed.
Vanduzer, Toombs for plaintiff in error; Hes
ter & Akerman for defendant in error.
Henry P. Harris administrator, &c., vs. Wm.
A. Seals and wife—in error from Warren Supe
rior court. H., an administrator, was called upon
by petition and rule, to show cause why he should
uot be dismissed from the administration for mis
management, failing to inventory and return his
intestate’s esiate. Held:
Ist. If he had no estate in his hands to invento
ry and return, aud there was nene which he could I
lawfully get possession of, it was not necessary for
him to make an inventory or return, nor proper to 1
dismiss him for failing to do so.
2d. It was competent for him to show, at law,
that the whole estate had been fully aud properly 1
distributed by the heirs themselves, or by execu
tors, de son tort, before administration granted.
Judgment reversed. ]
Pottle, Toombs for plaintiff in error; Stephens,
Nelms & Wasden, for defendant in error.
Lindey H. Smith vs. Thomas M. Hilley and wife
—ln error, from Elbert Superior Court. - <
1. It is the duty of a guardian to maintain and j
educate his ward in a manner suitable to his or her
condition in life—even though expenses of such ''
maintenance and education exceed the income of
the ward’s estate.
2. If the expenses of maintenance and education
exceed the income of a ward’s estate, the Court of
Ordinary may bind out the ward.
3. It is not necessary for a guardian to make a
special return, showing that the expenses of his ‘
ward’s maintenance and education exceed the in
come of his estate, in order to authorise the Court ■
of Ordinary to bind out the ward. But it is suf t
ficieDt authority for the purpose that this fact ap
pears from the general returns of the guardian.
Judgment reversed.
Vanduzer, Toombs, for plaintiff in error; Hester !
& Akerman, contra. - (
Samuel Adams et. al. vs. Hugh McDonald—in 11
error from Hart Superior court. A plaintiff in a
ejectment lays several demises—only two of which
there is any proof in reference to, to-wit: Thut in
the name of the lessor ‘A’ and that in the name of
the lessor ‘S’—the title in ‘S’ is altogether defec
tive —the title in ‘A’ appears to be paramount, f
But the plaintiff appears to have no authority to 1
use the name of ‘A’—the attorneys in the case be
ing called upon, are uuable to show any authority
from ‘A’ to represent him—the evidence show's J
that a recovery in the case cannot enure, and is
noi intended to enure to the benefit of ‘A,’ and
there is no claim of title from him to S , and no
connection shown between him and S. Held, that
the plaintiff is not entitled to recover. Judgment
affirmed.
Cobb, representing Delony, Millican, for plain
tiff in error; Hester & Akerrnan contra.
Turner P. Oliver administrator, See., vs. Thomas
F. Persous—in error from Warren Superior court, i

part to be used by the opposite party. Judgment
affirmed.
Wasden & Nelms, Doughter, for plaintiff in er
ror; Toombs, Stephens, Pottle for defendant in
error.
John Venable vs. Giles Mitchell—in error, from
Jackson Superior court. Under our act of 1828,
the executor is the proper person to administer that
part of a testator’s estate, as to which he dies in
testate. Judgment affirmed.
Akerrnan, representing Hillyer, for plaintiff' in
error; Hull, contra.
Thomas B. Gay vs. Sherod H. Gay—in error,
from Clarke Superior court. Where an estate is

there being nothing for a new administration to
do; Judgment affirmed.
Cobb, for plaintiff in error ; Tidwell, contra.

The sales of cotton in Liverpool for the week
reached 38,000 bales, of which speculators took
1,200 and exporters 5,500 bales. There was little
inquiry and prices were feeble and irregular. The
sales on Friday reached 6,000 bales, of which
speculators and exporters took 1,000 bales, and
the market closed quiet. The following are the
authorised quotations :
Fair Orleans 7%d. I Mid. Mobiles

The stock of cotton ia Liverpool was 425,000, of
which 267,000 are American.
Manchester advices were favorable, but the de
mand was quiet. Holders, however, were firm, at
full prices.
At Havre, Orleans Tree Ordinaire was quoted at
113 francs, aud Has at 108 francs. The market
advanced from 2 to 6 francs, at the opening, owing

Blood Food !
DR. BHOXSON. having been so far reduced by Consump
tion as to be considered beyond all hor es of recovery b v
the most eminent of the Medical profession, and also by hiin
sel —a regular Physician of twenty years practice—as a last
resort, conceived the Idea of Analyzing the Blood, and apply,
ing the suWect of physiology to the more im media e connec
tion, and effect ol the state of the blood upon the health and
system. The result has been the production of this “BLOuD
FOOD," from the use of which Dr. Bron-on was n stored to
perfect health. Within six months after its introduction, over
two thousand Consumi.tives were tffectua’tv cored by it'. If
you have any complaints of a Consumpt ve tendency—C< ugh.
Cold, Head-Ache. Palpitation of the Heait, Loss of' Appetite,
or Pain in the Side—lose no time in procuring a bottle of the
“BLOOD FOOD." If you are suffering from Nervous De
bllitv, or your sleep is broken and disturbed—l your spirits
are depressed, or your orguus relaxed, you will find in tbs- an
unfailing remedy, by commencing with ten drops, if your
Liver is torpid, or diseased in anv manner whatever, one or
two bottles will be sure to invigorate, and bring it into lively
and hea’thful action. lu the most lnveterat. cases f Dyspep
sia, the patieit can here find the most efficient and y rateful
relief. A benefit is always experienced after t king only one
bottle, in Male and Female Complaints, and Weaknesses,
the Bufferer, after trying other remedies in vain, may rest as
sured tha’ a certain cure will result f om the use of two or
three bottles. The “BLOOD FOOD" is effectual In all cases
of Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Scrofulas, and other like com
plaints. Pale and emaciated Children and Aduits are Imme
diately benetitted by Its use. It give* strength to tne body,
and odor and beauty to the skin. Physicians of alt schools
are using tt with wonderful success.
Fcr full directions, see circulars. Price $1 per bottle.
MOTHERS, in presenting you with Dr. EATON’S IN
FANTILE CORD! A L, we desire to state its superiority over
every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore offered
you.
First—lt is the preparation of a regular Physician, who Is
well qualified, from much experience in Infantile Complaints,
to prescribe for them. Secondly—lt 1* entirely tree from
paregoric, or opiate of anv kind, and consequently relieves by
reineving the suffering of your child, Instead of deadenb g Its
sensibilities. Thirdly—lt is put up with great care, as a com
p irison of It with any other article for Infantile Complaints
will show ; the very roots from which It Is distilled being dug
from the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton—many of
th- mby his o'vn hand*. Four hly—lt la pertectly h trmiess,
and cannot Injure the most delicate infant, and is a certain
cure and relief in all the following cases, which Is its ch es
merit over every other preparation, vlt :
For all complaints attending Teething, such as Dysentery,
Cholic, &c ; also, for Softening the Gums and relieving pain.
For regulating the Bowels, It is unequalled. For Cold in the
Head, it is a sure relief. For Croup, the most fa-al and trvisg
of diseases, It can be relied on with perfect confidence; and,
being a powerful anti-spasmodic in ail ca=es of Convulsions,
or Fits, we earnestly recommend you to lose no ilme In pro
curing it. Lastly—lt costs so much more than other prepara
tiocs of the k nd, that we cannot afford such long advertise
ments as can those whose whole expense U their advertising ;
for the same reason, it commends itself as the most reliable
to all mothers. In all cases, the directions wrapped around
each bottle, must be strictly followed. Price 25 Cents per
