Francis P. Blair, whoso death is
announced, was u noted editor and
politician during den. Jackson’s ad
ministration and for sometime after
wards. He was the father of Gen.
Frank Blair, now deceased, and of
Hon.|Montgomery Blair.
Charles E. Guild, manager of the
Laurel Hill Cotton Mill, on the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad, has been dis
charged for improper relations with
female operatives in the factory. It
is said that he had such relations
with 109 girls of the mill, many of
them from Lowell.
The Republicans of New York city
are “lying low,’’ watching the move
ments of the Democratic factions. It
is understood that they are divided
between O’Brien and Green for
Mayor. Should they take up Green,
who has already been nominated by
two or three “independent" organi
zations, it will be with a view to
swapping so as to make votes for
Hayes.
The New York World says that
nominations for Congress have been
made by both parties ia nil the dis
tricts in that Stato west of Albany,
and the contest is progressing with
indications of u gain of three dis
tricts now represented by Republi
cans by the Democracy, and perhaps
the loss of one now represented by a
Democrat, making a probable net
gain of two to the Democrats in that
portion of the State.

The news from Europe is still wat
like. England appears to have been
roused to the] necessity of making
more energetic opposition to Russia’s
designs. The latter is pushing her
warlike preparations, and other pow
ers are adopting precautionary meas
ures. It’may bo that the array of
formidable opposition to Russia will
deter her, at least from going further
than the assistance of Servia and
Montenegro in obtaining govern
ments independent of Turkey. In
this, probably, she will not be resist
ed by the other great powers, and
this would really be a considerable
advantage for her, for the Christian
provinces thus set up in Independ
ence of Turkish rule would recognize
Russia us their benefactor and pro
tector, and be her allies in the next
manifestation of her traditional pol
icy of advancing towards Constanti
nople and the Mediterranean.
Our dispatches report the hurry ing
of troops to South Carolina, to which
State, wo are told, forty companies
have been sent or are on the way.
There is no apparent necessity what
ever for this overrunning South Car
olina with Federal troops. The
whites of the State appear to have
already dispensed the negro rioters
and murderers at Cain Hoy, and
there is at present no organized con
spiracy or resistance to law else
where. We think that the solicitude
is about the vote of South Carolina,
and that the extraordinary measures
adopted to secure its vote argue
that the Radical leaders think that
the Presidential election will be so
close as to depend on the vote of
that State. They have no doubt
made their calculations and find that
if they do not carry ono Southern
State Hayes will bo defeated, and
heuoe the determination to take
South Carolina by force.
A case involving the legality of
marriages between white and colored
persons is about to be tried before
the Federal Court at Nashville.
The parties, Tjevl Mallory, colored,
and Ada Frazier, white, having mar
ried in violation of the laws of Ten
nessee, were Indicted therefor before
the criminal court of Davidson coun
ty, but a petition for the removal of
the case having been granted, it is
taken before the Federal Court un
der the Civil Rights law, defendants
claiming that it authorizes the Inter
marriage of white wad blacks as a
civil right to vfhioh they el Aim to be
entitled. As this is the first time
such a question has been raised in
the Federal Court, the case will at
tract a great deal -of attention. •’H

Kaufman vs. Austin & Cos. Assump
sit, from Muscogee.
Warner, C. J.
It appears from the evidenoe in the
record, that Elsburg, a witness for
the plaintiffs, testified, that as their
agent, he made a contract with the
defendants to sell them a lot of ba
oon at the prices charged in the bill,
to wit: clear ribbed sides at 15| cents,
and shoulders at 104, said bacon to be
delivered free of charge on board the
cars at Louisville. Ou the arrival of
the bacon at Columbus, witness pre
sented the bill to defendants, on
which was charged *30.32 for drayage
and brokerage. The defendants re
fused to pay it and receive the bacon,
because the amount charged in the
bill was not in accordance with the
contract. Witness stated that the
charge of *30.32 for drkyago and bro
kerage was net in accordance with
the contract made with defendants,
aud when they refused to pay it, he,
as the agent of the plaintiffs, offered
to knock it ofT and receipt them in
full for tho balance of the Dill, which
was correct, according to the con
tract. Blackman, a witness for plain
tiffs, testified that he presented a
draft drawn by the plaintiffs on the
defendants, in favor of Warren,
Mitcaeli & Cos., payable at sight, for
the amount of the bill, as hereinbe
fore stated, accompanied with a bill
of lading, and that the defendants
said that the charge in the bill for
drayage and brokerage was wrong,
and that they would not pay it nor
take the bacon.
Witness proposed to knock off the
amount of the charge for drayage
and brokerage and take defendants’
draft on Warren, Mitohell & Cos., for
the overcharge, if defendants would
pav the balance, which defendants
declined to do. Witness then pro
tested the draft, which was in the
usual form, with the exception that
u contains the following words: “the
payment of the draft refused tho de
fendants saying, ‘we will not pay the
draft, they charged us tho wrong
prioe for the goods, and wo throw the
goods back to them.’” The plain
tiffs proved that the bacon wa3 sold
and brought *323.35 less than the
amount of the bill, as charged to the
defendants. One of the defendants
testified, that he only agreed to give
154 cents per pound for the clear rib
bed sides, and substantially corrobo
rated tho statement of the other wit
nesses in other respects, as to the
overcharge for drayage aud broker
age, and his refusal to receive and
pay for the bacon because of such
overcharge in the bill presented
therefor by the plaintiffs. This wit
ness also testified, that the price of
bacon was declining from the timo of
the making of the contract to the
time of his refusal to receive it.
On the trial of the case, the jury,
under the ehargo of the court, found
a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for
the sum of $323.35. A motion was
made for anew trial on the following
grounds:
1. Because the court erred in charg
ing the jury “that if the defendants,
when the bill was presented to them,
failed to point out the over charges
in the bill to the plaintiffs, so that
the same could be corrected, that
then they were liable to the plaintiffs,
and could not refuse to take the
goods,and throw them back on plaint
iffs.”
2. Because the court erred in charg
ing the jury “that if defendants pur
chased the goods of the plaintiffs, to
be paid for on arrival, and eveu it
some of them were overcharged,then
if the defendants failed to point out
the mistake to plaintiffs, or their
agents, but refused to take them, that
then plaintiffs could sell said goods,
and defendants were liable to plaint
iff for the difference between what
the goods sold for and the amount
charged on the bill.” The eourtover
rulea the motion, and the defendants
excepted.
The Supreme Court reversed the
judgment, on the ground of error in
the court below in the above rulings.

nor the defendant have entered, with
out committing a trespass, there was no
occasion for enjoining the defendant, who
is not alleged to bo insolvent, from enter

there 18 no equity In the bill. It is to be
presumed, in the absence of any averment
on tho subject, that the marshal, on being

ccgistltuting their whole title, andospe

Finnegan vs. The State, Murder, from
Musuugee.
Warner, p. J.
The defendant was indicted,for the of
fense of murder, and on the trial there
for was found guilty. A motion for anew
trial was made on the various grounds
ofjerror alleged therein, which was over
ruled by the court, and the defendant ex
cited. It appears from the record and
bat of exceptions, that when the defen
dant, was arraigned on a billot indictment
charging him with the offonse, that he
Hied a pica in abatement thereto, in which
hi alleged that in May, 1875, the Superior
CAurt of Muscogee county was adjourned
by an order of the presiding judge there
of in vacation, at chambers, for the con
venience of the bar; that the oourt met at
the time appointed in the order of adjourn
ment; thato grand jury was impunnoled
aid the defendant Indicted for the mur
<l r of Charles Wilding, tried and oon-
Vi 3ted therefor; that judgment was arrest
ed by the oourt, and a new trial ordered;
ti at the biii was nol pros’d or set aside;
that at thesame term of the court, so con
vi mod os aforesaid, the presiding judge
and <jw another grand jury to serve at the
next November term of the court, and at
next November term, the defendant was
again (indicted for the murder of said
C larios Wilding, by The grand jury so
and awn as aforesaid. To this plea of the
and fondant, the counsel for, the State de
li urrod. The court sustained the de
n urrer and the defendant excepted.
V as the grand jury which found the In
d ctment against the defendant, drawn ac
& irdlng to law ? The 3,911 section of the
C xle declares that the Judges of the Supe
rl Dr Courts, at tho close of each term, in
o >en oourt, shall unlock the jury box and
and -aw therefrom not less than eighteen nor
u ore than twenty-three names, Cos serve
ah grand jurors at the next term of the
© >urt. The 3,912 seotlon declares that
w turnover, from any cause, the Judge shall
fi 11 to draw a jury, as provided for by sec
t: on 3,(91, it shall be the duty of the Ordl
n try,together with the Commissioners and
C ,erk ofthe County, to draw grand jurors
fc i serve at-tho next ensuing term of tlio
c >urt. Thus it will be perceived that tiie
s atute recognizes but two modes of draw
ing grand jurors to serve at the regular
terms of the Superior Oourt, the one by
the Judge in open court ut tho close of
ehch term thereof, the other by the Ordi
nary, together with the Commissioners
aid Clerk of the C unty. When the stat
ute declares that the grand jury shall
bfe drawn by tho Judge in open court at
the close of each term thereof, it must
l: 9 construed to mean n legal term of
t!G oourt, that is to say, a term of
tic Court held in accordahoe with the
li .wfOfihe land. The grand jury which
found the bill of indictment against the
dfcfoKaaiit, drawn by the Judge at the
Hum and in the manner alleged In the
defendant’s plea, was not drawn at a legal
term of the Superior Court, according to
tho ruling of this Court in tho ease of
She State, 89th Ga. Reports, 718,
>pose the verdict was set aside
rst indictment nol pros'd as al
ifendant’s plea, for that reason.
i of the -court at which the de
ls lirst put upon his trial, was
term or the court for the pur
pose of adlcting and trying him for tho
qffefflse oharged, how did it become a legal
term of tho court to authorial the judge
to draw a grand jury which found the bill
of Indictment to which the defendant
pleaded on his arraignment? To state
the proposition, is to answer it. The
grand jury which found tne bill of indict
ment upon which the defendant wins ar-
Kwas not drawn m accordance
revisions of the Act of 1873, nor
irport not to haye been drawn
provisions of that Act on ac
my of the special emergencies
ovldoil for. Code, 8942. We do
hat it tho defendant, with a
ledge of tho facts, had gone
without; raising any objection
dietment, that ha could have
tokfi advantage of It after verdtot;
put* the defendant in this case did
not miit and take hts chance for an ,c
--quitui tillaftor verdict; he pleaded to tie
indictment on arraignment as required by
4536tl section of tho Code, and in opr
judglbctit, the court erred in sustaining
Uio dfmurrer to the defendant’s pica in
abatement to that indictment.
■Whenever tho State undertakes to de
prive oiw of its citizens of his life or liber
ty. it is tho duty of the courts to see that
It is done in accordance with the laws of
tho land, and not otherwise. In tho ad
mini*tration of criminal law, judicial dis
cretion should not bo tolerated. The law
as it|B prescribed by the supreme power
Of the State, should be the rule of conduct
for tho courts, as well as for the citizen.
Inasmuch as the defendant has not been
arraigned and tried upon a legal indict
ment for the offonse of which he is sup
posed to bo guilty, we express no opinion
in relation to the other questions raised
on the argument here.
Let the judgment of the court below bo
, reversed.
Jackson, J., dissented, holdingathat the
Act of drawing the names of grand jurors
out of the box was a mere ministerial act,
and did not necessarily constitute the
grand jury, as they or any portion of
them might not appear, and their places
might be filled With outers. If a grand
jury, composed of men legally qualified,
are drawn at any tana, or in vacation,
*‘and|do appear, and are sworn and organ
ized as a grand Jury for said regular
term, and at that regular term, find a bill
of indictnwot truc, jsuch iudhstment so
found is sufficient, in law to put the ac
cused upon trial for murder; and if hols
fairly tried by a lawful Jury or twelve
men, selected by himself, and found guilty,
ho must abide the sentence, of law, arm
should not be allowed to escape or procras
tinate by any such naked technicality as a
plea that tho jndgo of the Superior
Court had adjourned the oourt ono wook
without sufficient cause, and had then,
at this session one week later than usual,
performed the mere ministerial act of
drawing the grand jurors for the next
regular term”’
.Judge J, cited acts of the Code to sustain
this proposition, and contended that tho
Hoyle casedld not fit this. Heoonciuded:
"Tho rulings of the court appear to me to
be correctTn the man and not injurious to
the defendant, the charge legal and im
partial, the whole trial fair, the verdict
supported by tho evidenoo, and as the pre
siding judge who tried it la satisfied with
the finding, I dissent from the judg
ment of the court In ordering the case to
bo tried over.”
