Fobt Vallet Mirror: For tbe past few
weeks Colonel W. E. Collier has noticed
that the supply of milk and home mad?
butter at his house has been rather limited
and as he is the o.vner of a very fine cow,
wosatalbsstounerstandthe state of af
fairs. He fed his cow on corn and fodder
and meal, sweet potatoes and pumpkins,
turned her on his rye and ost patches, and
stilt the supply of milk was not increased.
The cow’s calf was taken from her when it
was several weeks old and the cow, which
only a short time ago was furnishing a
bountiful supply of milk, was nowfurmsh.
iog scarcely enough for tea and coffee.
Thi ’gs went on in this wsy for some time,
and finally the mystery was solved. While
walking over his premises a few days ago,
Colonel Collier discovered that a colt
which be owns and which is also allowed
to feed on the oat pat'h, had taken the
pi- ce of the calf and was actually sucking
the cow. They have been separated now
and the usualsupply of milk is the result.

Savannah Recorder: The inquest touch
ing the death of Martin L. Jensen, the sai
lor who was brutally murdered Saturday
night near Lawsod’sdance house, in the
Old Fort precinct, was concluded last
night. Scvtagl witnesses were examined
and a prepolWerance of testimony seemed
to establish the fact that the negro George
Wallace committed tho deed. Tho jury
brought in a verdict that deceased came to
his death from a gunshot wound, said shot
having been fired by George Wallace, and
that they consider it mnrder. The prison
er was accordingly committed to jail to
await the action of tho grand jury.

Dublin Gazette: To many farmers per
haps it is not known that chinaberries will
kill hogs. Mr. Maddox, of this place, had
a lot of fifteen or twenty pigs ab.ut two or
three months ted shat np in a lot, and last
Wednesday turned them out to root about.
This was about ten o’clock in the forenoon.
They began at once to eat the berries that
had fallen from the China trees on the
streets. Within two honrs the first died,
And in two hours more five were dead.
The berries act as a deadly poison. Hogs
are too scarce in this county to be thus

The Industrial South says: The State of
Georgia now yields over one million dol
lars per annum in gold bullion, and her
gold mines are attracting general atten
tion. The gold region of Georgia is out of
the reach of railroad and telegraph, and
consequently little of the extensive work
being done Is reported. Several compan
ies, with capital in excess of ono hundred
thousand dollars, are engaged in working
or establishing mills, and the yield will be
largely incttPsed from date. Dr. Little,
the State geologi«t, asserts that there is
more gold in Georgia than there was in
California, and that the annual yield might
be increased ten times above what it now
is and then not be practically exhausted.

a sufficient time had elapsed for his re
turn, the affianced grew nneaiy, and set to

to tho magistrate and took ont a

■ II. C. Peeples, of the Atlanta Bar.
Southwestern Railroad Company vs. WT. A
Wright, Comptroller-General, et nl.
Equity, from Bibb.
Underwood, J.—1. Tho verdict of tho
jury finding the valuo of the branch rail
road from Americas to Albany, for tho
years 1876 and 1877. to bo *693,fi00, te sng-
tained by tho evidence. The jury canlfi
consider tho valuo of this branch relatively
to tho valuo of tho whole lino of
tho road, the amount of business done
cn this branch and on the whole lino, the
vtiue of the stock of the road and the pro
ductions, imputations nnd reso’ rce? of the
country through which the road ran.
Neither is the verdict ngainet law.
We think that by the express language of
the act of Decembor 19th, 1859, by which
this branch became a part of tbe South
western railroad, that “said railroad from
Americas to Albany shall be liable to pay
the same tax that the rest of tho South
western railroad company is liable to pay
and such additional tax as the Legislature
may hereafter impose,” said branch was
placed under the same burthen of taxation
as the citizens of the State who were own
ers of property after the passage of Iho
tax act of 1874—the ad valorem tax—less
nny amount ot tax paid on that branch
previous to the issuing of the fi. fa.
2. The verdict finding that part of the
road from tbe junction near Cuthbert t >
Eafanla, Ala., to be of the value of $427,-
509, was sustained by the evidence.
The words used in the amended act by
which this branch was built: “Under tha
same rules and restriction! as they are
now authorized to construct said South
western railroad,” are not sufficient to ex
empt it from the provisions of the act of
1874.
8. There was no error in ovorrnling the
third exception of complainants to the
auditor’s report. The provisions of taw
with regv.rd to that part of the road from
Americas to AlbaLy do not give the ex
emption claimed.
4. Tho section of the road from Albany
to Arlington is, we think, also liable to tho
nd valorem tax, it being expre's’y “liable
to such additional tax as the Legislature
may imjoee.”
5. If tho ad valorem tax was due and
owing, and tho railrond company made no
return of the value of the road so subject,
it was a delinquent taxpayer, and there
was authority of taw for issuing the il. fa.
against it. If it was the duty of the Comp
troller to issue the fi. fa., no order to him
to do so was necessary.
6. Tiie charge of the court th't com
plainant’s road from Cuthbert to Eufauta
waa subject to ad valorem tax was not er
ror.
7. There was no error in the charge that
the jury, in estimating the value of the
branches, could take into consideration
evidence as to the value of the whole road,
and determine whether it was proper in
valuing the road ns a whole to inelude the
branches; or in valuing the bronch<*s to
take tho whole length of the r>od, 307
miles, or leave out the branches and con
sider the value of 257 miles. Nor was there
error in the charge that the real question
was the market value of the roads for the
years specified.
8. In estimating the valce of a railway
any evidenoe that will a<d tbe jury in arriv
ing at its true market value is free from
objection, snd it was not error in the court
so to charge, as tho charge complained of
did not restrict the jury or confine their
minds to the consideration of any single
piece of evidence as to value.
9. The co irt did not err in admitting in
evidence the testimony of Virgil Bowers as
to I he value of the s ock of the Southwest
ern Ri’Iroad Company.
10. When any ministerial officer of this
State is attempting to collect money out of
a person under the forms of taw, but with
out any valid law to authorize the process
he calls on execution for taxes, it is the
duty of the courts to arrest the proceeding

ooaldbe paid from suoh proceeds; that tb^
title of such grantee, under said cor.yfcy.
■dee, was not to become absolute until
said mortgages were paid, and tha grant
or aright of homestead therein satisfied:
that the grantee has not performed bu
doty under said conveyance, but has usea
the tand for his own profit, leaving some
of the mortgages unpaid, and having oth-
ere transferred to his wife with the view
that accumulated interest might eat un
the land; and praying that the conveyance
be conceited or tbe grantee be compelled
to comply vnth ita conditions, was not
without equity, and a demurrer thereto

Cothran, trnsteo. vs. Forsyth, administra-
tor. Claim, from Floyd.
Jackson, C.J.—l. There was no error in
rejecting tho evidence as to which com
plaint was made, part of it being hearsay,
and the rest testimony of a witness as to
his opinion of the intention ot another
person without giving the facts ou which
that opinion rested.
2. Where claimant had closed his case
and counsel for .plaintiff ia fi . f a . 8tate< i
that t hey wonld introduce no evidence bat
asked peraifaaion of the court to recall for
a moment’the claimant, who had previous
ly testified for himself, aud such permis
sion was granted without objection
from claimant’s counsel, it was
not error to xward tho concluding
argument to .counsel for plaintiff
in h. fa. The recdllof claimant’s witness hy
the plaintiff m fi. fa., under leave and with
out objection, as above stated, was not
8 ? . j“’ r( >duction of evidence by said
{T^ntiffiu^would deprive lum of the right
' Wil * no4 error to refuse to rest the
validity of a voluntary deed, made by a
husbnnd and father to his wife and cliil-
dren, on the question of solvency of the
donor at the time the deed was made, and
to introduce ihe issue of intent to defraud,
hinder or delay creditors.
L Neither was it error to charge that if
a. donor be considerably in debt nt tho
time he mat es a deed of gift to his family,
thaa the burden is upon him to show that
the transaction is valid; not only that he
was solvent at the time of the gift, b it
that there Wes no intent to defeat creditors,
and that he must show himself nmply
solvent-when he made tho deed of gift.
When claimant admitted possession ic the
defendant in fi. fa., ho admitted enough to
rondemn the property until he showed
title in himself. He took the burden and
that burden was to show a clean title ont
of the defendant in fi. fa. into the claim
ant.
& The evidence supports the verdict.

Crawford, J. f dissenting s
1, Plaintiffs in fi fa was entitled to the
conclusion only on the condition that ho
introduced to evidence. This does not de-
iend on whose witnesses he calls to testify;
t depends npon whether any evidence is
offered, and if it is, whether from newly
called, or previously sworn witnesses is
wholly immaterial. Evidence in this case
was offered by plaintiff in fi fa after claim
ant. Iwd closed, and this lost him, in my
opinion, tho right to conclude.
2. It was not necessary for the claimant
to havo objected; he had the right to stand
on tha law.

The battle had evidently reached the
turning point, nnd Stuart saw the desper
ate character of his situation. It was dif
ficult to use his artillery in snch a melee of
friend and foe, and his left wing was soon
in nttor disorder. The Federal attack had
at Inst succeeded in breaking it to pieces;
tho men were scattering in every direction,
nnd seeing Mnj. Breathed near him, Stnnrt
shouted:
'“Breathed! take command of all the
mounted men in tho road and hold it
against whatever comes. If this road is
lost wo are gone!”
Snch an order was precisely suited to tho
tastes of a man like Breatlied. I was inti
mately acquainted with him, and never
knew n man who took such sincere de
light in desperate fighting. At Stnart’s or- 1

Crawford, J.—1. The evidence in thU
case demands the verdict and there was no
substantial error of law in the charge of
the conri.
2. A deed obtained by fraud and misrep
resentation conveys no valid title to the
grantee, ard a deed by such grantee to a
purchaser with notice whether tho purchase
money be paid or not, gives such purchaser
no title upon which he can recover the pos
session of the tand .from the original

Untied States Court, from Pike.

here to its rulings heretofore mode, until
the Supreme Court of the Vnited States
shall decide adversely thereto, and will re
view tho decisions of the judges of tho Su
perior Courts of this State on petitions for
thp removal of causes to the United States
Courts, is on Other questions of juris
diction. fUGa. 17; (0 ibid 429.
• 2. It is hardly an opon question In this
court, that an applicant for removal nnd r
the not of October, 1875, need only allege
that at the time of filing his jietitiou for I
removal he was a citizen of another State, ’
and need not state that he was such when
the suit begun. GO Ga. 423. In the view
taken of this case, however, it is not ncces-
siry to rule npon this question.
3. The petition need not allege that tho
defendant is n resident of ono of tho two
divisions of the Southern CUtrict of
Georgia and specify tho one wherein ho re
sides; it is sufficient to state that no resides
in tho Southern district. Tins court will
take judicial notice of the act dividing that
district into two parts and as to the caun-
ties of which each part is composed.
4. Under tho act oi Congress of 187o, the
removal of a case from a State court to tho
coarts of tho United States must be ap
plied for “ before or nt tho term at which
tmeh caupe could bafiret tried nnd before
the trial thereof.” Thi* caa?e bavin#arisen
in tho coart of ordinary on a citation ot n
guardian for a final settlement of bis ac
counts, could not bo removed to the cir
cuit court of the United States after it had
been heard and determined in the court of
lordinary end had been carried by apical
Ito the superior court. The petition came
too late. In such a caso as this tho poweis
of a court of ordinary are as complete as-
thoso of nny other court in the State, bao
tions IfHl, 1842, 1614 and 1615 code of 1873
Final judgment nnd execution could have
been hnd in the court of ordinary, and as
complete a trial on tho merits was hod
therein as could havo been hnd in any
court. . .., , J
5. We think that such a caso as this could
have been removed from the courtof ordi
nary to the Circuit Court of the United
States by petition made nt tbe proper tim.*.

that an auctioneer, a commission merchant
nnd an executor, iu the uso of lands,
goods, etc., entrusted to them, aro fidu
ciary agents, nnd debt* due from the

Cbawfobd, J.—!. Whilst a justice of the
E has no power to set aside his own
sent and grant a new trial, yet where
iders a void judgment ho may disre
gard it and treat it as a nullity.
2. It was not error to charge that if tand
bad been dedicated for school purposes,
had been nccepted, possession taken, im
provements made, capital invested nnd tho
I iremises ns?d nnd occupied for such a
engthof ticnosR that the public accommo
dation wonld bu nffeuted by an interruption
of the enjoyment, then the public stood in
a position of a purchaser for vnlne.
3.. A deed made prior to 1859 by one per-
sou', while another held adverse possession
of the land, conveyed no title to tho
grantee.
4. Where exception is taken to the charge
of the court, and the same is not set ont in
the record or bill of exceptions, this conrt
cannot consider it,
li. A dead, not thirty yeari old, covering
lands in both Fayecte and Campbell coun
ties, but only recorded in Fayette, cannot
be read in evidence as showing ot title to
the tand in Campbell, witbodt proof of ex
ecution.
G. Tho impartiality of tho foreman of the.
jury 1 is amply shown by the affidavits set
out in the record. Judgment affirmed.
Hnuvey vs. the State. Murder, from Car
roll.
Cbawfobd,J.—It was noterror to dis
charge a sick juror who had b6en sworn in
chief, especially when prisoner’s counsel
agreed to submit the question of the juror’s
condition to the decision of the judge, and
before tbe case was sabmitted, or the panel
was complete.
2. A charge that voluntary drunkenness
was no exca«e for aritne, and would not re
duce tbe killing from murder to any lower
grade of homicide, but that it was a fact
that might be considered like any other
fact, to shed light, if it could do so, on tho
transactions, goes as far ns hns been au
thorized by any of the rulings cf this
conrt,
3. Witnesses who haVe iiot been put un
der the rule may testify in rebuttal where
the court is satisfied that the ends of jus
tice require it.
4. The charge: “If a deadly weapon Is
used to accomplish the billing, which is
likely to produce death when used in the
manner the proof shows it was used, the
taw presumes that the person using it in
tends to kill,” might, when taken by itself,
be construed to have reference to the par-
ticutar case then being tided, and to the
proof which hod been introduced; but
when taken with the preceding charge, de
fining malioe, and illustrating how the
jury might ascertain whether it oxisted, it
could not lie properly so construed. It
simply amounted to an Instruction that if
a weapon be used likely to produoo death
when used in n particular way, and it is
shown to have been usod in that way, tlio
presumption of malico would arise.
6. The newly discovered testimony was
not a good ground for now trial. No dili
gence was shown to have been used in pro
curing tho testimony. Tho testimony;, if
introduced, would not chango the verdiot.
No showing is made as to who the newly
diseoverod witness is, where ho reside*,
whnt ia his character, and who nro some or
his associates. He should be brought out,
so to speak, and bo exhibited in daylight.
Affidavits should be adduced to his charac
ter and credibility. f
G. The evidence sustains tho verdict.

part of the ward,” is error. Receipts m full
settlement nnd signed by the ward ore

good and lawful reason to the .contrary.
2. A charge that “if the guardian choose
to settle out of court without citation, it ts
his dfity to inform the ward faUy nn^Pre-
ciselv of tho whole state of her affnir.-.
mentioning all money received to* hjr. the
amount due.” ete., is stricter than the law

to see to it that neither imposition or fraud

EI 3 ^ !• K h the duty of a prisoner,
when the panel of jurors is put uiion him,
to challenge the array for any cause going
to show that it was not fairly impaneled,
or ought not to be put upon him. Having
failed to do this, if it should appear that
there was a Tull panel answering tS their
namej, put upon the prisoner, it is too late
to object to the array because one of the
jurors names has been incorrectly entered
on tho list, and which ia discovered there
after.
2. It was not an error to admit a dia-
gram drawn to illustrate the scene of the
homicide. Witnesses for the Stato hid
testified to its correctness, and it was tho
privilege of counsel for tho prisoner to
have ono prepared in accordance with the
testimony of defendant’s witnesses and
submit the same to the jury in rebuttal.
The objection to thedtagram, because it
was partly drawn in red in* and calculat
ed to inflame the jury, is not sufficient to
exclude it.
8. Ballets taken from the body of the de
ceased were admissible in evidence. They
were significant evidence of the intent
that prompted the slayer.
4. Opiniqns atd conclusions of witm.-.- t „
are inadmissible, when the facts on which
they are founded are not testified to.
6. A juror ia not incompetent because ho
was at the inquest over the body of deceaB-
ea, it being shown that he heard none of,
the testimony there introduced. Remarks
made by a jnror before he is sworn, work
no disqualification, if they are explained

Both the Southern wings were driven, and
there was no hopo of continuing the con
test Stuart was nearly in despair, nnd
was spen galloping about, shouting nnd
waving his sabre in a desperate attempt to’
rally his m«D, but it wns Impossible. Tho
field was a scene of the wildeet disorder.
FederaLs and Confederates were darting in
every direction, nnd ono of the former, as
hfm throng^ tiie Imdy.”^
6. The charge of the court that “drunk
enness may be looked to to ascertain the
condition and state of defendant's mind,
aud throw light upon the nqniry whether
there was malice on the part of the de
fendant,” was fally as favorable as the
prisoner was entitled to, and even this has
been questioned by recent decisions of
this court*
7. The charge complained of: “If a
deadly weapon is used which is likely to
produce death in the manner tbe proof
shovfs it vas used, the taw presumes the
person using it intended to kill,” has been
considered and its effect ruled in the case
of Hnuvey vb. the State, decided to-day.
Taken with that part of the judge’s chargo
in whioh they are found, these words were
not error.
8. The law was fairly given in charge and
the evidence demanded the verdict.
9. There w.<s no error in considering tho
affidavit of Merrill c n the motion for a new
trial, it being objected to because not
sworn to. It was practically veritiel by
the superadded affidavit of the same wit
ness sworn to by him. Judgment affirmed.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I
have already announced my position fairly
and squarclj’. As soon as the Independent
racers for Governor and Congress, from

work is finished, “if it takes nil summer.”
I am going to give the history of my can

their political hornin’. I intend to ring
their praises in rythmical and voluptuous

I will paint before a gazing pnblic every

that all mankind may know “from whence
they came from,” and be enabled to “con
sider the source.” I’ll show all their in
comings and outgoings, their uprisings
and upsettiogs. I expect to prove each to
bs n Hercules in intellectual power, a
Washington in patriotism, a Howard in
philanthropy, a Polycarp in piety, and like
wise a Jupiter Tonans, a Magnus Apollo,
a Boanerges and n Colossus of Rhodes
ienerally, promiscuously, sporadically and
indtipeusibly I menu to vindicate them
from the crown of their heads to the soles
of their feet. I will prove that they are
tho very men who untied tho gordian knot,
solved the -sphinxs riddle, threaded the
labyrinth of crete, leaped into the pool in
the Roman Forum and prepared both
gamut and stare to start tho music of the
spheres. I will also demonstrate conclu
sively that Ihe opposition candidates were
the original perpetrators of the Yazoo
fraud, life members of the Murrell clan,
nnd silent partners in the Credit Mobilier.
I know the Bourbons will “take after me

Dr. Felton, our apostle of the Gentiles,
regrets, and justly too, that tho Now Testa

so in the matter. He snys tho expression

Hip word there translated “meeting is
translated “caucus” every time it is used

AJIome Enterprise.
I While everybody acknowledges the boom
in almost every department of business in
|Macon, we must not forget that much of
♦his activity is duo to a few lending spirits,
who, hnving faith in Mason’s future, were
willing to hack their judgment wiih their
I money.
Among those who have entered into new
enterpriser, nono are more deserving of
success than our young friend, EL D. Ir
vine, the popular music denier of Macon.
A young man of de ided genius nnd indom
itable energy, he has succeeded in building
op a splendid business right in tho midst
of formidable competition. His latest
venture is the publication of tho Georgia
Musical Eclectic and Educo.tional Journal.
Two numbers only havo been published,
and yet such has been the favor with which
they havo been received, that success has
already been assured. This publication
moeta a want hitherto neglected in this
section. While there are many excellent
musical journals published elsewhere,
I et they do not meet the real necessitio* of
■neon. They may contain more cultivated
criticirm npon leusic nnd kindred topics,|
but they cannot develop home talent, or
supply home wants aa the Musical Eclectic.
As n home enterprise, therefore, tins pub
lication should receive a libornl patronage
from tho music loving portion of our citi
zen*. One of them, and ono who is thor
oughly vereed in music, pays this enter
prise a high tribute; believing that it is
better suited for practical work in teaching
♦liai many others with more pretentions
claims.
The educational department affordR an
opportunity for our teachers, nnd others
engaged in this noble work, to present
such srgge-tions and measure* as will ad
vance tho interests of education iu thi*
part of tho State. It is proper that snch a
publication should emanate from Macon,
the educational cvntreof the State. There
should bo no tack of contributor* in thi*
department, and many cf the leading edu
cators havo already consented to become
such at an early dny. .
I think Mr. Irvine lias made a mi*‘nK«
in fixing the subscription price. Instead
of 75c. it ought to be $1 per annum. The
music contained in each number would
cost 75c. if sold separately, nnd $1 conln
havo been as easily obtained as the 75c.
A* n homo enterprise we hope Mr. Irvine
will he most liberally sustained. Such a
publication is an honor to the city- nud a
liberal support from our citizens will only
enable the enterprising proprietor to make
it more attractive each succeeding nnmlier.
Let every one send in his or h< r snbscri;

Workingmen,
Before you begin your heavy spring
woik after a winter of relaxation, your
system needs cleaning aurl strengthening
to prevent au attack of ague, bilious or
rpriu^fever, or some other spring sickness
that will unfit you for a season's work.
You will save time, much sickness and
great expense if you will use one bottle of
