ring the present rise a considerable
amount of drift wood has passed down.
The Rosa arrived from Savannah

A Horse Case.
A case of interest regarding a horse
well-known in this section, has been
before Justice W. Milo Olin, during the
past two days. A possessory warrant
was issued at the instance of Mrs. C. S.
Fogarty, for the possession of the
noted horse Hickory Jack, held by Mr.
J. A. Chambers.
The case was brought before Justice
Olin Thursday, when, from the evi
dence, it appeared that Mr. Chambers
had deeded the horse to Mrs. Fogarty
some time ago, for certain reasons, but
he has used the animal since that
time.
Argument by counsel was heard yes
terday, after which the Justice reserv
ed his decision until this morning. A.
D. Picquet, Esq, is counsel for Mrs.
Fogarty, and Messrs. McLaws and
Ganahl represent Mr. Chambers.
A Case of Interest to Firemen in the
City Court To-Day.
A case, which will prove of interest
to firemen, will come up in the City
Court this morning, about 10 o’clock.
Messrs. Jas. G. Bailie, of “ Mechanic,”
and C. H. Phinizy, of the “ Georgia,”
were summoned as jurors for the pres
ent term of the court, but did not at
tend. The Judge then ordered that
they should show cause for their non
attendance. Certificates were produced
showing them to be firemen, but this
was not considered sufficient cause by
the J udge, and he ordered a fine of S2O
to be entered against each.
The gentlemen mentioned declined
to pay the fine, and have decided to
test the question in court as to whether
a fireman can be fined for not respond
ing to a summons to serve as a juror.
Mr. Bailie is represented by John S.
Davidson, Esq., and Mr. Phinizy by
Messrs. Barnes & Cumming. The case
promises to be a most interesting one.
City Court.
The City Court, Judge W. T. Gould
presiding, convened yesterday morning
at 10 o’clock, pursuant to adjournment,
when the following business was dis
posed of:
Sebastian Funk vs. Isadora P. Girar
dey—The Ji. fa. in this case having
been lost, the Clerk was ordered to
issue an alias fi. fa., and enter on it the
credits appearing on the other.
Seaborn Wadford vs. Robert Rhodes
•—Complaint. This case was given to
the jury about 1 o’clock, when they re
tired and remained out during the af
ternoon.
Jos. B. Cumming, Trustee, vs. Wm.
H. Goodrich & Son —Complaint for
rent. Judgment awarded for $575,
with interest.
Emeline T. McNatt vs. Wm. C. Jones
and Wm. H. Jones—Complaint on note.
Judgment was rendered for the plaintiff
for S3OO, with interest.
Court adjourned about 2 o’clock, and
met again at 5 p. m., but transacted no
business of importance. The jury in
the case of Seaborn Wadford vs. Robt.
Rhodes, rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff. Court adjourned to 10 o’clock
this morning.

Seven dollars a day. “ That’s what’s

If the Solons sit in the Jones case for

Why the deuce did not the Jones

the session ?

The State Printer continues to de

Do the Grangers in the Legislature

The cotton market yesterday was
quiet, though low middling was quoted
rather firmer, 14%@15 ; middling, 14%.
Receipts were 370 and sales 543 bales.
The Pullman sleeping car on the
Port Royal Railroad passenger train,
which left Augusta last night, was filled

came in on the C., C. & A. R. R. train.
After getting through with Jones the
Legislature will probably discover some
other official blunders, which will give
members additional excuse for a per
petual session at seven dollars a day.
Poor Capt. Jones has been on many a
“ ragged edge,” but the botch made of
his defensive statement by the Atlanta
Constitution would justify him in com
mitting suicide or resigning the Trea

A fancy ball (colored) is to be given

A report was prevalent some days
since that Mr. Jerome Torrent, a resi
dent of this city, had been drowned at
Port Royal while acting as purser of a
vessel in port. The report, however,
proved to be unfounded.
The track on the curve at the inter
section of Twiggs and Walker streets
appears to be out of fix. A Port Royal
Railroad engine, yesterday afternoon,
could not pass that point without the
driving wheels running off, and had to
“ take the back track.” The fault ap
pears to be at the joint of two rails on
the lower side, the ends of which are
worn and not firmly set. New rails are
apparently needed there.
From the Savannah News we learn

We favor another legal holiday and
that is the day upon which the General

The accuracy of gas meters is to be

alleged only $4. Distinguished coun

The Athens Watchman says :
We learn that on the out-going train
from this place on Thursday night
last, a mulatto woman of questionable
character took a scat among the white
folks—which, being discovered by the
watchman, she was requested to take a
seat in the car appropriated for the col
ored people. Two white men on board
told her not to do it—that the Civil
Rights bill had passed, and that she
had as good a right there as anybody.
The conductor, however, was of a dif
ferent opinion, and seated her among
the colored people.
The names of these precious white
men are Adams—claiming to represent
R. H. Miller, dealer in safes, Baltimore
—and John Dewils, ditto as to the
house of S. H. Condict & Cos., dealers
in saddlery, New York.
The Atlanta Neics has this sharp par
agraph :
A correspondent asks us why we do
not, defend Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
from the recent attacks of another At
lanta paper, and adds that he thought
we were friendly to Mr. Stephens. So
we are, and when we read a lot of ma
lignant rubbish published about him,
we make a complete defense by declin
ing to notice it. The puny scribblers
who hurl their inky venom at Mr. Ste
phens are not likely to injure him. Be
sides, one paragraph from his pen will
be sufficient to puncture them beyoud
recovery and to expose their absurdity,
and as this is the case we do not deem
it necessary for us to engage in any de
fense of him.
A Fortunate Escape from Accident.
Yesterday morning, as the incoming
passenger train of the Port Royal Rail
road was coming over the bridge
ocross the Savannah river, below the
city, the wheels of one of the trucks of
the baggage car jumped off the track.
As the train was going slowly at the
time, it was stopped before there was
any damage done. The locomotive
was detached and came o$ to the city
where assistance was obtained, and re
turning to the bride the wheels were
soon replaced and the train came up to
the depot, arriving in time to connect
with other trains. There were not
many passengers on board. Some of
them came up on the engine when it
was detached. It is very fortunate
that the rules of the road prescribe
slow running over bridges, otherwise a
fatal accident might have resulted.
A colored man standing on the upper
staging over the river wharves, yester
day, catching drift wood, fell in the
water. He managed to swim under
the staging to the lower side, when he
was drawn out by men who saw him
fall and were on the lookout for him.
The Poor Man’s Friend, Mr. H.
Brooks, at No. 182% Broad street, is

Important Information.
The following sections from the act
of Congress “To amend the Internal
Revenue laws and for other purposes,”
which became a law on the Bth instant,
will prove of interest to a large num
ber of our citizens :
Sec. 14. That the existing provisions
of law for the redemption of, or allow
ance for, Internal Revenue document
ary stamps, the use of which has been
rendered unnecessary by the repeal of
the taxes for the payment of which
such stamps were provided, shall ap
ply only to such of said stamps as
shall be presented to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue for allowance or
redemption before the first day of Oc
tober, eighteen hundred and seventy
five ; and no allowance, redemption, or
refunding on account of such of the
aforesaid stamps as shall not be so pre
sented to the said Commissioner prior
to the date last mentioned shall be
thereafter made.
Sec. 15. That the words “bank
check, draft or order for the payment
of any sum of money whatsoever,
drawn upou any bank, banker or trust
company, at sight or on demand, two
cents,” in Schedule B of the act of
June 13, 1864, be and the same is here
by stricken out, and the following par
agraph inserted In lieu thereof:
“ Bank check, draft order or voucher
for the payment of any sum of money
whatsoever, drawn upon any bank,
banker or trust co npany, two cents.”
Sec. 22. That hereafter nothing con
tained in the internal revenue laws
shall be construed so as to authorize
the imposition of any stamp tax upon
any medicinal articles prepared by any
manufacturing chemist, pharmaceutist,
or druggist, in accordance with a for
mula published in any standard dispen
satory or pharmacopoeia in common
use by physicians and apothecaries, or
in any pharmaceutical journal issued
by any incorporated college of phar
macy, when such formula and where
found shall be distinctly referred to on
the printed label attached to such arti
cle, and no proprietary interest therein
is claimed. Neither shall any stamp
be required when the formula of any
medicinal prepation shall be printed on
the label attached to such article where
no proprietorship in such preparation
shall be claimed.
Sec. 26. That the time limited for the
redemption of direct tax lands by the
act entitled “An act to provide for the
redemption and sale of lands held by
the United States under the several
acts levying direct taxes, and for other
purposes,” approved June Bth, 1872,
be, and the same is hereby, extended
for the period of one year from Juno
Bth, 1874, at the expiration of which
time the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue shall proceed to sell the lands
as provided by section four of said act,

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed or a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; aud that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 6. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
