tho Court an lUEilavitfthat such taxes have
been dnly paid for i-acjf y»ar since the mak

founded upon Bach cause

that in every such case, if the tribunal trying
it is not clearly satisfied that the taxes have

provides that where such snits are now pend

several sections of the set, shall have been

may have suffered by, or in consequence of,
the late war against the United States by the
people of this and other States, whether snch
losses be from the destruction or depreciation
of property or in any other way be fairly
caused by said war, and the results thereof;
and by section 7th no plea or proof of such
damage or loss shall be held as setting up
damages as too remote or speculative if it ap

legitimately produced directly or indirectly by
said war, or the results thereof There are
other sections of the act which need not be
now noticed, and section G is referred to, be
cause we are enabled the better from an in
spection of that section, to arrivo at the gener-

Tho question presented to tho Court is,
whether sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 are in vio
lation of tho Constitntion of tho State of
Georgia or the Constitntion of the United
States. If tb«y are bold
Bona!, this cause, which lias Vccn
pending in this Court since tho year 1861,
will proceed to trial. If Ihoy are constitu
tional and binding upon tho Court, the cause
must be stayed in obedience to section 12, and
afterwards, if the affidavit required by the
State should not be made, the suit, on motion,
must be dismissed.
Rttuell, tho War Correspondrnt.
William IL Russell, the special correspon
dent of the London Times, at the headquar
ters of the Crown Prince of Prussia, in a letter
dated September 16th, gave an account of the
surrender of Napoleon UL at Sedan, and re
lated some passages in the conversation be
tween the Emperor and King William of
Prussia. This letter, it seems, gave great
ofiense to Count Bismarck, wbo published,
with bis signature, a note worded as follows:
“The report of the conversation between King
William and the Emperor Napoleon, given by
Dr. Russell, the Times’ correspondent, is
founded throughout upon mere invention.
This occurrence created great excitement,
more particularly from the extreme irritability
openly expressed by Count Biamarek. Re
cently, however, the Prussian Government has
published in tho Nord Deutaehc Zeitung a re
traction of tho offensive imputation that Dr.
Ruseell’a report was “founded throughout
upon mere invention," and says that Russell
bad “the misfortune of being slightly inocu
late." The article further compliments Doc
tor Bussell upon being one of the best in
formed and most consciontous correspondents
of tho whole European press.
* Luxurious New York.
A list of fourteen private residences, now
building on Fifth Avenue, is givon as an evi-
dencs of the growth of luxury in New York.
These houses cost from $150,000 to $500,000
apiece, and that merely for construction, ex
cluding tho valuo pf tho land and the furnish
ing. Indeed, the sndden extinguishment of
Paris ss i centre of luxury and t^ion a^ma
to have Inspired New York with tho purpose
to assume that vacant place. We hear of the
furniture which is going into these republican
palaces as representing sums of money capa
ble of expression only by six figures. Bed
steads whose wood-work alone costs $2,000,
side-boards whose value is $3,000, ostageres
costing $4,000, are among tho articles; and
that this is not a spasmodic extravagance, is
shown by the fact that tho leading upholstery
establishment of the city keeps on hand a
stock valued at one million, and does a thriv
ing business. The man who can afford to live
in a $100,000 boose and slccjflm a $2,000 bed
stead may be considered, well off financially;
and be who can arrange an establishment on
•that scale, without violaUng the rules of aris
tocratic harmony and propriety, has the best
right in the world to 6pend his money in that
way. If the millionaires of New York can
wed the culture of the Old ‘World to their
money, they may succeed in reproducing
rwis on this side of the Atlantic, provided
they keep their streets cleaner.—Boston Post

plainly and unmistakably expressed in the
fundamental law, the Government is pledg
ed to discharge this duty. Is that a
discharge of the duty which deliberately
casts about existing remedies such embar
rassments as make them but mockeries? Is that
an impartial and complete protection of tho
debt, which fixes upon the contract of tho par
ries a condition precedent, under the opera
tion of which, in almost every case, the person
who seeks the protection of the law will be
driven from the Courts, which the government
established, with a denial of protection. When
this, in what better condition is the credi;
than he was before he sought the protection ?
I rely with much confidence upon this view
of the case; but there is another ground upon
which the judgment'of the Court may be se
curely based. It is the Well known provision) 1

In either event, it seems to me that the law
before me impairs the obligation of the con
tract sued on in this case. It is said by the
Supreme Court of our own State, in Hardman
vs. Downer, 39 Georgia Deports, page 427,
McKay, J. t delivering tho opinion, that it is
“firmly settled by a long series of decisions
that a State can no more pass a law professing
only to regulate the remedy, though in fact
impairing the obligation, than it can one
acting directly upon tho terms of the con
tract They all in express terms admit the
power of the State over the remedy, and they
all decide that if this power be so used as to
violate the obligation of a contract, the legis
lation is void. ”
And again, the Court continue: “But
if professing to alter the remedy only, tho
duties and rights under the contract itself are
changed, or impaired, it com&s within tho
spirit of the constitutional* prohibition.” In
the case before this Court, the remedy as it
existed at the time of making the contract was
that the plaintiff might file his petition in*
Court, have tho ordinary process served on
the defendants, and at the second term of the
Court, upon proof of his demand as set forth
in tho declaration, have his verdict, his jmtfc-
ment, and then bis execution, to‘ enfarceJPfie
payment of the judgment If tho oblitf^hyi of
a contract consists in the Laws of force at the
time of making the contract for its enforce
ment, such was the obligation of this contract
It was the duty o£g4be debtor to pay a given
sum of money toruie plaintiff That he fails
to do. In affording protection to that debt and
a remedy for the creditor, tho law provided
that the amount fixed by the contract should
be paid unconditionally and absolutely ac
cording to the terms of the contract.
In the case of 'Winter vs. Jones, 10 Georgia
Deports, page 19C, Ac., tho Supreme Court say
“all the commentators and all the adjudicated
cases upon constitutional law agree in these
fundamental propositions; that the objection
to a law on the ground of its impairing the
obligation of a contract does not depend
upon tho extent of tho chango which tho law
may make in it; that any deviation from its
terms by imposing conditions not expressed in
Vie contract, however minute and apparently
immaterial in effect, is within this constitutional
prohibition.” And tho Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of Green vs. Biddle,
8 Wheaton, p. 84, says: “Tho ejection to a
law on the ground of its impairing tho obliga
tion of a contract, can never depend upon the
extent of the change which tho law effects in
it Any deviation from its terms by postpon
ing or accelerating the period of perform
ance or by imposing conditions not ex
pressed in the contract, or dispensing with the
performances of thoso which arc, however mi
nute or apparently immaterial, in effect upon
the contract of the parties, impairs its obliga
tion.” This is the language of the highest
Court in the United States, in construing the
Constitution of the United States.
By this Act of the Legislature, a condition is
engrafted upon tho contract, and this right to a
recovery which before was plain, unembar
rassed and unquestioned, is made now to de
pend upon Lis proving as a condition prece
dent to the right to recover, that all the taxes
due upon the debt have been paid. The evi
dence of the debt maybe negotiable; it may
have passed from hand to hand in duo courso
of trade. Many persons in different States,
who eglW for the letter of Jiisr before and during the war, may have been the
holders thereof, but yet. when the debtor is
enU.A Mpon TYspuna xo xiic demands or rus

“Before you can recover, you must prove this
other distinct and alien fact of tho pay
ment of the taxes. Upon failure to meet
this new demand not made by the cred
itor, bat by tbo government the right to
recover is denied, tho suit is dis
missed and the debt practically ceases to exist
also. As shown before, and as is everywhere
At the beginning of the late war, a heavy
indebtedness rested upon tbo people of Geor
gia. They had the property with which to
discharge that indebtedness. By the casual
ties and results of the war, their property was
destroyed or rendered comparatively valueless,
and at the close of the nnhappy struggle, they
found themselves without the means of satis
fying the demands of their creditors. It was
felt almost universally that it was, in tbs ab
stract, unjust to demand all of the indebted
ness, inasmuch os the means of meeting it bad
been token from them. I believe this convic
tion rested on the minds of most of the peo
ple, and, in obedience thereto, efforts have
boon
made by the Legislators to protect, as
far os it conld be done, -the debtor portion of
the community. In conwqncnce of decisions
of the Supreme Court'off ffis State, made in
reference to a former relieiumr, tho Legisla
ture, at its late session, again took the matter
in hand, and the result of their labors is the

Whilst we may commend mo spirit or a leg

as to whether, in this particular instance, just
constitutional limits have not been exceeded.
The Constitution of the State provides that all
me oorestitution of the State provides that all
legislative acts in violation of that Constitntion
or of the ponstitution of tho United States,
are void, and the jndicioary shall so declare
them. Tho exereue of this j»wcr is delicate
and embarrassing, and tha Court must be sat

action exceeded the Constitutional limit be
fore it will declare the act void. ’"The Con

tween conflicting laws, one of which must give
way and the other stand. The Coart can ex

whether there is a conflict, and which shall
yield. The judiciary owe n doty to tho Con

Legislatnre, and when one say sone thing and
the other a contrary thing, they must obey
the Constitution, which is in effect to decide
against the law."—10th Geo. Report, 101.
It will be observed that this act of the Legis
lature mokes it unlawful for a plaintiff to hnvo
a verdict or judgment in his favor, rmtil he
has made it appear that all legal taxes charge
able by law upon the debt have been dnly
paid for each year. Ho must filo with the
Clark of the Court an affidavit to that effect
threo months before the trial, and on failure
to file tho affidavit, the suit is to be dismissed
on motion. If the affidavit is made, and the
f»uao js continued in Court, then on the trial,
it shall be a condition precedent that ho prove
tho payment of tho taxes. If he foils clearly
to satisfy the Coart and jury of such pay
ment, the suit is to- be dismissed. Af
ter a suit has been pending in
Court for years upon u plain promise to
pay without condition, the right to detain the

taxes is a something with which tho holder of
the tstpsrqhd«hofee(rsr4i<c4<iaItoM44iMwt
ested. The daty of the debtor to pay the
debt has nothing to do with it It is immate
rial to him, and to his solemn agreement
whether the taxes are paid or not, and nlthongh
it is in reference to the taxes due upon the
cause of action, in fact there is do more con
nection between the contract by which the
debtor obliges himself to pay money, and tho
daty that a holder of the paper owes to the
Government, than there is in any thing else
that is entirely disconnected and foreign to iL
Thecontrnct is without condition, and it is
presented to the Court to determine, whether
in a case where tho contracting parties have
made no condition and where the agreement
to pay is absolute, a Legislative condition can
bo engrafted upon the contract and made a
condition precedent to a recovery. By the
Constitntion of the State, in its very first ut

and property is the paramount duty of Gov

We need ndt go abroad for a definition of the
term “Property." Tho Code.of Georgia fur
nishes it By section 5 property includes * ‘real
and personal property,” and by sections 2211
and 2213, “Personalty is everything having
value inherent in itself, or the Vepre^-ntatiYe

the term as used in the Constitution, and that
property it is tho paramount duty of Govern
ment to protect impartially and completely. A
note or promise to pay is only the evidence of
the debt, and it is valuable only as written
evidence of a liability. The property which
it is the par mount duty of Government to pro
tect impartially and complete!j-,is the debt itself
which is evidenced by the written promise.
How can the Government discharge this para

General Corse, formerly of Longstrect’s

WHAT HE SAID.
He said his trip in Europe had been exceed
ingly pleasant and instructive, but, though he
had the most attractive invitations to make
his stay abroad permanent, he was unable to
resist the amor patriae in his nature, and even
among the most fascinating society of English
life, he could not avoid sighing for his pnttit
borne in Mississippi 12
He is done forever with politics. Ho Myi
there are fifty things besides in which he can
bo more useful to his country and in which he
himself can reap more profit and enjoyment
The death of General Lee affected him deeply.
It was not, he said, of old age or ordinary ill
ness he died, but rather from corroding reflec
tion, which wore away the casket of his great
souL Persons rid themselves of unha]
meditations by mingling freely in the gi< H
whirl of society, but Lee was a man apart
from all other men.
He permitted no escape to tho mountain
load of saddened thought that lay close upon
his heart He kept his sorrows to himself
and finally succumbed to the oppressive bu
den. Mr. Davis was quite pathetic in speak-
iug'of Lee, and evidently felt a deep admira
tion for the deceased General. Tho Alexan

as the men.
Some of the visitors were old friends of Mr.

tion lasted. The General is gray bearded and
ragged, and with the exception of being taller,
is not unlike Jeff. Davis in his general appear

DIVISION OY OPINION.
All the Alexandrians did not come to the
reception. A good many of them stayed away
because they held no particular respect or ad
miration for Jeff Davis and thought he made
poor use of his unlimited power during the
rebellion, and tumbled into many inexcusable
blunders. •

riilOr GnrStifr—Boots Hlgh-Itwls, etc.
A sensible medical nmu, in tho course of a
long article on the fashions, gets off the
following:
COTTON. -
Ladies generally are anxious for a fall,
graceful development of the “bust,” and ap
pearance which adds much to the beauty of a
woman; yet many of them (ignorantly of
course) adopt means which prevent the very
effect they desire to secure, by allowing the
pressure of tight corsets and thick cotton
pads on the delicate organs which mainly
give - it form, while it should be leit quite free
and unrestrained, that it may attain to the
beauty and grace which naturally belongs to
it. Where these artificial abominations will
be nsed.^let some of the light, elastic, gauze
ntaterialuow being introduced, be used in
■P^HqMto-the old-fashioned pile of cotton;
but theUcst-of them ore likely to do harm.
As for their deceiving tho other sex (for
which purpose they are usually worn,) I am
pretty sure that they often fail of their inten-
i ion, for men are not as verdant in such mat
ters as women pay them the complimei^ of
believing they are. •
OPEN-NECK DRESSES.
One of tho most gkmpg faults noticeablo iu
tile style of dress of women, in vogue just now
is the open neck dress and sacque of the past
si -,uson or two, which I learn is to be in fashion
ui*:dn next season; thus compelling women,
(>H>lt8h enough to adopt it, to expose the chest
t*- the inclemencies of tho weather, at the sea-
,.mi men protect it by additional clothing and
iiMst-protectors. Tho bad results of this stylo
of dress were seen in the large number of pul
monary complaints in women, which received
lb-.* attention of physicians daring tho past
&c.t;on. Women should, be warned in time,
and remember that it is only a short step from
’*» slight cold” to a merciless disease, which
w i 11 cause them to regret their fooiislihess when
too late.
CARTES AND BOOTS. -
It is no unjust slander on the women of our
country, to say that theiT loweT limbs are want
ing in the beauty and development of those of
women of most other nations. Tho cause-yff
this are various. Want of exercise^Ior apaft
that is not used decrcaooa in size—right, small
boots, which prevent the free movement of the
muscles, and cause a dread of setting the foot
down squarely, so that their walk degenerates
into more of a frightened, mincing style, than is
necessary. These causes are pretty well known;
but there is another prolific source of unshapely
garters. Every woman is <£•
'vid red mark on tho skin left
r being worn in the usual
manner even for a short time. Now garters
never should be worn so tight The stocking
should be long enough to come so far np
on the limb os to be easily secured, without
excessive pressure; or the “stocking support
er,” now being adopted pretty extensively,
should be used. The worst result produced
by tight ligatures is the affection called “vari
cose veins,” in winch the veins enlarge, as
sume a knotted appearance like a coiled snake,
and sometimes burst, disfiguring the limb for
life. This is often produced bx tho obstruc

A RICH SCANDAL.
The Yelvertons-An Old Divorce Case
New Developments.
As many of'our readers have seen Mrs. Yel-
verton, the following article may not be unin-
teregting: iMWWMpWM
'^R'iscount Avonmore is dead; Major Yelver-
ton succeeds to the title,” is the brief telegram
which recalls a chapter of recent romance that
is known to half the world.
The Yelvertons, Lords of Avonmore, are
neither a very ancient nor a very distinguished
race, yet two of them havo attracted attention
in their day—Barry Yelverton, the founder of
the house, and Major Charles Yelverton, B
A., at present entitled to its honors. Barry
Yelverton was an Irish lawyer in days when
a steady JimmJ and aJlK ahpt wana m awt nlioitld be remembered by eieijWunaUi
sarv to advancement as eloquence or knowf- luinf in wnmfln'a flws'lffiq mv
conceded, the State may legislate upon the
remedy—it> may change that: Jot instance, it
m ty require h pr.».vi;:ion bond where none
was required when tho contract was made; it
may chango the form of tho process, petition,
declaration or any other mode of procedure,
but all the while the contract between the par
ties remains undisturbed, and whatever
changes may be made by the State in the
modes of procedure, when a result is reached,
it must be the contract result fixed by the par
ties. Whilst tho State may legislate npon the
remedy and control the inodes of procedure
in its courts, it fi never allowed to sub
stitute for the contract of the parties a legis
lative contract And this power of the State
over the remedy cannot be so used as to im
pair the rights of the creditor, or lessen the
duty of the debtor; and whilst it may change
rales of evidence os when parole testimony is
allowed by a subsequent Legislature to be
heard, in reference to a contract, which was
before inadmissible, but this parol testimony
is admissible only to show what the contract
is, and is never heard to lessen tho right of the
creditor or the duty of the debtor. The Leg
islature has no power to establish rales under
pretense of regulating evidence and preclude
a party from exhibting his rights.—Cooley’s
Constitutional Limitation, page 3G8.
Tho Supreme Court of Georgia in the case
above cited, which was oue arising under
the homestead law, in speaking of tho right
of the Legislature to make an exception as
against pre-existing liabilities, make this re
mark: “Should it make a grossly excessive ex
emption, so as to show that its object was not
so much to protect its people from destitu
tion as to enable debtors to screen available
effects from the payment of their debts, it
would be the daty of the Court to interfere.”
This is but the expression of a principle which
is pretty generally acknowledged and I quote
the sixth section of this act now before me to
show that the restrictions placed npon tho
creditor by this act were meant really to deny
to him every available remedy for the enforce
ment of his demand.
I have not deemed it necessary to eater at
large upon this subject, nor to quote from
many authorities. The principles involved,
although difficult of application, are generally
acknowledged, and it is with regret that I find
myself called upon to declare, as I now do,
that sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 12 of this act
are unconstitutional and void.
JEFF. DAVIS.
Ills Reception ut Alexandria—Grand Re
union of the M Scce$h”—Jeff. Dl*gu*te«t
•with Politics.
Jefferson Davis left Alexandria Saturday
evening, at 7 o’clock, for Bichmond, where,
after spending a few days, he leaves for his
home in Mississippi. It hardly needed the
enterprise of the Gazette to inform the folks
in Alexandria that Mr. Davis intended to hold
a reception at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of
1 ~ - :
the fact by intuition, and, though no public
Announcement of it was made, all sorts of
people dropped in at tbo Mansion House pre
cisely at the hour named.
A short timo previous to 4 o’clock, a wagon
drove up to tbo hotel, out of which a tall gen
tleman jumped, aud, after stretching his legs,
proceeded leisurely up the steps to the en
trance. Half a dozen melancholy-looking men
\\t re r- irei t!*. >t ,-v._ :i t tiio time, and,
npon hearing the roll of carriage wheels out
side, concluded tho ex-chief had arrived. Bat
it turned out to be Another man, though two
or three had shaken hands with him under a
wrong impression before the mistake was dis
covered. *
Finally r. wagon drove up, out of which an
other tall until stepped, vri aring a ditrk over
coat of light material and a low-crowned soft
black hat. He was readily recognized Ly
people on tbo sidewalk, wbo walked up
and snook hands with him, as Jeff Davis.
OrENING OF THE RECEPTION.
General Corse, who assumed direction of
the informal ceremonies, announced to the
waiting crowd that the reception was about to j
sary to advancement as eloquence or knowl
edge of tbo books—though a contem
porary of the brilliant Irishmen of the last
century, could not hope for eminence unless
he was born eloquent and learned. Yelverton
shot and read and drank his way up to the
highest honor of the Irish bar. He was a
“new man,” but he died a peer, and he had
been Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer.—
He was one of those fortunate Irishmen who
lived at the timo of the Union—“fortunate
because he hod a country to sell.” More dis
tinguished, at least more notorious, than any
who have since worn tho pearled coronet
of Avonmore is the present peer, better
known as Major Charles Yelverton, of tfcfe
Boyal Artillery, a distinguished Crimean sol
dier, a wearer of the Victoria Cross. “An
officer and gentleman,” -and defendant in the
cause celebre of “Thelwall vs. Yelverton.” It
is some twelve years since that famous case
was decided in the Common Pleas of Dublin,
decided by jury and by popular voice in fever
of the real plaintiff, Teresa Longworth. On
the record the plaintiff was a Yorkshire trader,'
and the plaint that Major Yelverton refused to
pay for necessary supplies to his wife to tbo
extent of £187. The answer was a simjflo de
nial of tho alleged relationship between him
self and Miss Longworth, and an assertion
that sho bad been his mistress. They had
mot in the Crimea, where Miss Longworth
had acted as a volunteer nurse. Subseqm
they met again and the personal charms
rare accomplishments of the lady conquered
the Crimean hero. As he confessed afterward,
he sought her rain, but was unsuccessful, and
then on two occasions went through a form of
marriage—once in Scotland, per verba de pre
sent*, and once in the pleasant little village of
Bosstrevor, on Carlingford Lough,

Men find their boot-heels of two or three in
ches in diameter little enough for comfort, yet
women wear those funny little heels of one-
half inch, and pretend they are “so nice."
That they are very piquant in appearance is
true; but their advantage ceases there, and is
more than compensated by the overstrained
ankles and deformed feet they cause.
I have concluded my. list of complaints
against “Women's DrcesV fbr the present, and
may be thought unreasonable in some of them;
but os physicians are tho only persons who
know of the bad effects of some features of
the dress of women as worn to-day, Add
both the early, mental and physical develop
ment of a nation is controlled to a great ex
tent by its women, the great importance of
the subject is my only excuse. Men care
more for the health and comfort of their moth
ers, wives, sisters and daughters, than for
their own; so it becomes woman, for the satis
faction of others, as well as for the proper
discharge of the important functions which
belong to her, to maintain herself in the best

list of failings in women's dress'has not, by
any means, been exhausted in this article, but
the main point intended to be spoken of was
the advantage of the shoulders over the waist
for the support of the clothing; aud if ladies
will recognize the truth of this principle, and
will act on it either by adopting some of the
means suggested—waist or corsets with shoul
der-straps—or by some device of their own.—
I think the change will greatly diminish the
many varieties and innumerable cases of “fe
male diseases,” thus adding largely to the

tho marriage of a Protestant and a Papist—
They traveled together as man and wife, but
after a timo events took tho old course; the
Major deserted Miss Longworth and married
Mrs. Forbes, the widow of the distinguished
Professor Edward Forbes. Thelwall vs. Yel
verton was tried to decide whether in fact
Teresa Longworth was wife or mistress.—
Whiteside, now Chief-Justice of Ireland, and
the most distinguished advocates of the Irish
bar were arrayed on each side, and on the
bench was the keenest Irish lawyer of his dayf
Chief Justice Monahan. Tho jury found
for the plaintiff that there was a Scotch
marriage, and that there was an Irish mar
riage. Major Yelverton escaped through a
side-door, aud his wife was drawn in her car
riage by relaj-s of Irishmen, after the maunee
in which Dublin does honor to its favorite.
That was the hour of triumph of Teresa
Yelverton, nee Longworth. Thenceforward
her life was a series of lawsuits. In Scotian J
and in the House of Lords her title to the
name of wife was contested step by step, and
fought as bravely by her. But though her
touching letters brought the tears of admira
tion to the eyes of Chancellors and ex-Chan-
cellors, and her own personal advocacy in forma
pauperis might have touched sterner hearts’
than Lord Colonsay’s. she was cash-
and her motion as “ pursuer * was de
nied. To commence the fight over
again was indeed possible, but pecuniarily
aud physically it was wiser for her to yield,
fora legal triumph would havo added noth- ^
ing to the sympathy extended to her, no more generated in grinding, cocnequently the doth
