VOU CONOBENK. HRMRY K. IIAHHW, OF MERIWETHER. 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. Tite Legislature.— The Represen tative from Fannin, oraittted in our list yesterday, !a B. C. Dugger, Rep, The Atlanta Constitution re captulates thus: Senate—Democrats 40, Independent Democrats 3, Re publican 1. House—Democrats, 158; Independents, 8; Colored, 4; Repub lican, 4; members of last House, 20. So far as known there are 16 doc tors and 3 preachers returned. There are 5 Smiths, 2 Browns, 1 Blue, 1 Black, 1 Gray, 1 Allred, 2 Cox’s, 2 Jones’, 2 Reids, 2 Doziers, 1 Penn, 1 Turnbull. • 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 —When Brigham Young finds that the biscuit are burned and the meat is over done, he puts his hat on and goes but ami brings home anew wile.

The Atlanta CivmtituUo/i of Wed nesday publishes the decisions of the fipreme Court In several eases from o Qbattfthoi'i'liooCircuit. Wloopy •Brno, aud abridge others'. •In Dozier etal. vs. Williams, Debt, from Harris, the judgment of the court below was afllsmed, but the Supremo Court decided that there appeared on the record no judgment that would authorize it to award damages thereon. In this ease tlm plaintiffs in error had made a motion to withdraw their writ of error, to which the defendant objected and asked a re-opening of the record for the purpose of claiming damages. Goodman vs. Fleming, Complaint, from Harris. The Supremo Court af‘ firmed the judgment of the Court be low, overruling defendant’s demur rer to the plaintiff’s declaration, on the ground that the endorsee of. a promissory note without negotiable words In It could n<?t maintain an ac tion thereon in his own name. 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. Blandford & Garrard, for plaintiffs in error. Peabody & Brannon, for defend ants.

A conveyance by husband to wife, made pending salt against him, and only a fen* days before the rendition of judg ment. and leaving him nothing out of which payment of the judgment can be coerced, is. prana /ante, fraudulent. 4. Where such conveyance purports to be for value, and the consideration set Up is a debt from him to her, the actual ex istence of the debt must be shown; arid this Is not done by proving that she owned certain real ostafo, and That at the time of executing the conveyance there was on accounting for rents, she claiming and he admitting that the rents of her property had been collected by him and paid over, but the actual truth of such elaitn and admission not being In any way proven or. trial. i.

Generally, an Injunction against ad mitting tho purchaser at sheriff's sale into possession, will not bo granted, where thb act of dispossessing the oomptaint would be a naked trespass. 5 Ga. 580; 8 lb, 119; 11 lb. 294 ;44 lb, 200; 45 lb. 201.

The marshal of the United States has only the powers of a sheriff, in tho.mat tot of perfecting a sale of land by giving possession to the purchaser, and as, on tike facts in the presen|?blll, tho marshal Xd not have turned'ouf the coraplain 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 ing under the marshal, and therefore 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 ac vised by the complainants of the facts ccgistltuting their whole title, andospe ciaity of their adverse possession at tho til no of tho judgment and for a long pe ri xl anterior thereto, would have declined to disturb them. Code, section 3551. t lodgment reversed. 1), H. Burts, for plaintiff in error. iStandford i Garrard, for defendants. 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.” Thornton & Grimes, for ploiutlff In error.
