When ho discovered that his rul

Louisiana euse, Judge Bradley said :
“As to the qaostiou of eligibility he
had qualified somewhat his first

A bill is before the Legislature of
Ohio to repeal Abe law of that State
forbidding marriages between whites
and blacks. The Legislature la de
cidedly Republican in both branches;
but as that party has neglected many
opportunities to repeal the law, it is
doubtful whether it will improve this
one.

The Montgomery Advertiser again
brings out its rooster, to crow be
cause Tilden and Hendricks have
250,000 popular majority and 190 Elec
toral votes, thougli 12 were stolen
from them.
The Journal, of the same place, re
produces its pictures of Hayes and
Wheeler, in glorification and exul
tation over the stealing aforesaid.
The Montgomery Advertiser learns
that the building of the branch rail
road to Wetumpka, from Elmore
Station, Is to be oommenced at once,
all obstacles, if any really existed,
having been removed. The grading
of the road has probably commenced
already, but if it has not, the work
will surely commence within a very
short time.
The special dispatches from Wash
ington to the New Orleans Democrat
leave no doubt that a number of
Democratic politicians of Louisiana
are bargaining with Republican
Congressmen to aid them in defeating
lllibustering if the Republicans will
aid in recogoizing the Nieholls gov
ernment in Louisiana. Onr regular
press disjHitclß'Salso bow that the
Louißla.ua Democratic Congressmen
are carrying out this arrangement.
A MPKCiAi/ of Wednesday to the New
York World states that "Win. A.
Wheeler professes to have a letter
from Governor Ilayos, in which he
states that ff he is declared President,
lie will provide for two Sou them men
in iiis cabinet—one of whom has
always been a Union man, and one of
whom has been a Confederate but is
now a Republican ".
A dispatch which we copied the
other day stated that Senator Alcorn,
of Mississippi, had been proposed
by a meeting of Southern Republi
cans in Washington as one of Mr,
Hayes’ Cabinet. As ho ‘‘has been a
Confederate, but is now a Republi
can,” it would seem very probable
that he is one of the men indicated
by the reported letter to Wheeler.
Who is the other ? That is a more
difficult question. Hon. Joshua Hill
is suggested; but Mr. Hill has been
a Republican* if-cmt one now, and
with his antecedents he might have
been more particularly described
than as “always afdJnlon man.” We
would regard the appointment of Mr.
Hill as a very go? Stand signiticaut
one for a Republican President to
make, for JoshuaTHll Was never ac
cused of a'., base or niajignant act.
But we won Id uot be‘surprised if the
politician Who cannot be more accu
rately iodiouted than "always a
Union mau” lives
bus ; aud iftso, we believe that Hayes
oould have “gone farther and done
worse.

MURK VII.IBCMTKRINR.
Our early dispatches of yesterday
show that the Democratic “filibus
ters” of the House, numbering 68,
were earnestly at work trying to de
feat. the conclusion of the Electoral
ooant. They would doubtless have
been defeated in this proceeding,
but for the discovery that Mr. Ferry
was witholding the return of the
Democratic Elector of Vermont who
cast and forwarded his vote as a sub
stitute for that of one of tho Republi
can Electors charged to be Ineligible.
The witholding of this return pre
vents tho carrying of tho caso to the
Commission, and was no doubt so
intended to oiwrato. But it
has greatly aroused tho Dem
ocrats, aod may be the mean 9 of so
strengthening tho filibusters us to
enable them todefout the finishing of
the count in the regular manner.
Speaker Randall, who showed at first
little sympathy for the filibusters
and ruled against them in nearly
ovory instance, has decided that mo
tions to supply the missing return
will be in order, and it is possible
that this lots down tho gap so as to
give tho filibustering Democrats tho
very opportunity they wanted.
In the event of this movement be
ing successful in preventing the con
clusion of the count as it had com
menced—what then? We copy, as
pertinent to this inquiry, the follow
ing Washington dispatch of Monday
to the Cicinnuatl Commercial, a Re
publican paper:
It Is asoortalned from leading Republi
can Senators that tho course which will
be pursued by their body in the event of
the Houao persisting in the opposition to
finishing the count, will boas follows: A
caucus will bo hold, where It will doubt
less bo agreed to notify the House that
the Senate Is ready to continue tho count,
and the Senate will go In a body to tho
hail of tho House. If not received, they
will withdraw to their own chamber, and
Invito tho Rouse to attend thero to wit
ness tho completion of tho couut of the
electoral vote and the formal declaration
of tho eloctlon of President of the United
States. It Is believed by thorn that tho
Republicans of the House will accede to
the invitation, and that they will be Join
ed by enough Democrats who oppose the
dilatory programme to make a quorum
of the Rouse. Under those clrcuLmstan
cos tho revolutionary element of tho
Rouse, which would constitute a large el
omont, would doubtless proceed to the
election ef Mr. Tilden, the same as provi
ded In the event of a failure to elect by the
Electoral College.
Should tho bill for anew eloctlon become
a law, and at the same time authorize the
President of the Senate to act until that
election could be held and tho President
sworn in, the Democrats, If they find the
Republicans divided upon their candidate,
will seek to co-operate on the one who
would be most agreeable to thorn; but if
no such person is presented by tho Re
publicans, they will vote either for Thur
man or Bayard. „
Thurman being sick, the Democrats of
the Senate are left without a leader, which
gives them considerable embarrassment,
and they Intend, therefore, to await the
result of the next two days before they
act.
More About Blur tilaa*.
“You see," said Captain Costentenus,
the beautifully frescoed and tattooed
Greek, who was lately with Mr. P. T.
Barnum’s great moral show; “You see,"
said he to the World reporter, “that Gener
al Pleasanton’s discovery of the curntive
poweis of blue glass, or blue color, is
nothing new. It is understood very well
in Chinese Tartarv, where I received my
decoration, and 1 attribute my robust
health directly to the fact that so much
blue pigment was tattooed into my skin.
I am, yon will notice, very cerulean. 1
owe my vigorous condition to my blue
skin. lam never ill; Ido not expect to
die at all unless lam killed by some ac
cident ; why should I die ? lam perpet
ually under what is in effect blue glass,
and am thus becoming stronger every da v.
Yes, if I should lie skinned I would
probably die, but unless I ant fool enough
to go back to Chinese Tartary and en
g&m in another insurrection, no one will
skin me. I attnbuto the effect of the
blue rays to the electricity which is gen
erated by the glancing of light into the
pores of my fiesh. Good morning
The Rev. Peter Odell, a returned mis
sionary who formerly labored in New
Zealand, told the World reporter that
tattooiog undoubtedly had its origin in
a knowledge of the sanitary value of
blue. New Zealanders with tattooed faces
only arc called moko , wheuce our word
“moke," but when the whole body is tat
tooed with the blue charcoal made from
kaurigum it gives them the name of
whakairo. The healthiest natives are
those who tattoo themselves pure blue;
tho mortality among the reds and yel
lows is frightful. Cases have been
known where men were tattooed blue
from the waist down and yellow from
the waist up. The distressing spectatle
of men with magnificent and robust legs
surmounted by wan, pinched and wizened
faces and etiolated arms was then seen.
The efficacy of blue glass could not be
doubted. Soilors owe much of their
good health to the way in which their
bodies are pricked with blue. Sir. Odell
attributes the sterling qualities of Daniel
Webster to his continual wearing of a.blue
coat and brass buttons, the electricity
being generated in the metal and con
ducted to the body by the fibrous text
ure ot the cloth.
Biislneaa In Ancient Pompeii.
THE RATE OF TilE FKHCKNTAO* THAT ONE
OAJCILIOS JUCUNDCS RECEIVED.
From the London Timet.)
One of the most interesting discoveries
in recent yeurs at Pompeii was 'made in
1875, when a wooden chest was brought
4p light containing the business receipts
of one L. Uaecilius Jucundus. Tthe chest
crumbled to dust on exposure to the air,
but the tablets on which the recsipts
were written have at length proved to be
legiblo in many instances, aud tho result
of a careful study of these tables by
Afominson and others has been to clear
Aip several points in what was among
the Romans a inattdf of great conse
quence, viz: the position of the middle
man in affairs of business. There was
dot among the Romans tho same extern,
slve system of 6hops as with us, snpply
ubg every possible article of necessity or
lpxury, and for this reason there arose
Innumerable occasions of private per
,3*>ns desiring to dispose of this or that
article, as, for instance, a surplus of ag
jycullurnl produce, old carta, plows, or
even old and invalid slaves, as Cato
recommends the land owners to do. Tbe
tfcblcts in questioner© dated, according
tp custom, by giving the names of the
consuls for tho year. The greater pari of
the dates lali betweeu A. I). 53-62. A
few are as early as 15 ami 37. Since there
is no more recent date liiiui 62, it be
comes highly probable tfiat the tablets of
Jucundnshad been overwhelmed in the
earlier eruption of Vesuvius. The ma
jority of the tablets are triptychs, and are
written partly with letter*on wax spread
on the tablets, and'partly in ink on the
bare wood. Among them there is only
one which giyes the amount of com
mission whieh he received, and that
proves to be two per cent., which is
known from other sources to have been
the general rate. Usually he merely
says “minus the commission. The per
son on whom this expense fed was the
hover.
Mt'PRKMB COURT DECIMIONM.
We copy ia full the decision of the
Supreme Court of Oeorgia in the cose
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company vs. Fontaine, from Musco
gee county. It decldee points of In
terest to the public generally, though
the division of the Judges appears
to leave In some doubt the important
question whether the Telegraph
Company Is legally considered a
common carrier.
We make brief notes of the grounds
of decision of other cases from this
locality on Tuesday.
The case of Jones vs. the Mobile &
Girard Railroad Company, from
Muscogee, was a suit to make the
railroad Company responsible for the
payment of some “Pike county
notes” which ho had received from it
in payment of an alleged indebted
ness to him. The jury had given a
verdict for pluintiff for the sum of
$6,550, with interest, and the court
below had granted a now trial. The
Supreme Court affirms this judgment
of tho Court below.
In Blackman et als. vs. Cunning
ham, from Muscogee:
Except in cases expressly provided for
by the Codo, (section 8374) stockholders
cannot plead or defend for tho corpora
tion. That the action is groundless or
collusive, and that, from motives of fraud
and favor on the part of the officers, tho
corporation fails or refuses to defend,
will make no dKTerence. Tho stockholders
may protect all their rights by Institu
ting a proper action of their own. Judg
ment affirmed.
In Goldsmith, Comptroller Gener
al, vs. Kemp, from Marion :
Money raised by the sheriff, under an
execution issued by the Comptroller Gen
eral against, a delinquent tax collector,
cannot be diverted, by judicial Interfer
ence, from the payment of such execution.
The sheriff cannot lie required by rule to
pay tho money to tho plaintiff in a judg
ment older than the Comptroller’s process.
His duty Is to remit to the Comptroller
without delay. Codo soctlons 883, 912.
Judgment reversed.
The judgment in the case of the
Eagle ana Phenix Manufacturing
Company vs. Brown, was reversed,
mainly on tho ground that “when, at
tho time an officer of a corporation
accepts his appointment and enters
upon his duties, there is a by-law in
force (of which he has knowledge) to
the effect that the compensation of
each officer is to be fixed by the
president and directors, ho is (in the
absence of any express agreement to
the contrary,) to be understood as
consenting to serve for whatever
rate of compensation tho President
and directors, in a fair and honest
execution of the by-law, may estab
lish.”
In Howe Machine Cos. vs. C. C.
Souder, from Muscogee, which was
affirmed, the points decided related
mostly to the admissibility of testi
mony. The following touches the
merits of the case:
A corporation may make a libellous
publication; in doing so it must act
through an agent, for it cannot act other
wise ; and if there be proof that an agent,
within the scope of his authority, caused
the publication to be made, or acting
wlthm the soopo of his authority, ratified
it nfter it was made, aud if there was evi
dence that the publication referred to the
plaintiff, a verdict for the plaintiff ; con
trary neither to the law nor to the evi
dence.
The judgment in the case of C. A.
Redd & Cos. vs. Burrus & Williams,
from Muscogee, was affirmed. The
following point decided in this ease
is of general interest:
There can bo no valid salo or mortgage
of a portion of a crop not planted; there
fore. an obligation dated the 25th of De
cember, 1874, to deliver certain cotton of
the next year’s crop_tho crop of 1875
passed no titloto the obligee.
THE WATER LOT CASE.
J. J. Bradford, Trustee, otc., vs. The Watoi
Lot Company of the City of Columbus,
dofendant, and The Eaglo and Phenix
Manufacturing Company, claimant.
Jackson, J.
1. The execution must follow the judg
ment, and when the judgment Is against
tho Water Lot Company or the City of
Columbus, aud the execution against the
Water Lot Company, tho execution din's
not follow the judgment. The name of a
corporation Is of its very essence, and a
ehanga of name in tho tl. fa. from that by
whieh It is sued and judgment entered up
against it. is a material variance. -Code,
see. 3036, Angell & Ames, 699, 14 Ga., 280.
2. 1 ho claimant may take advantage of
such variance, and though It may be
amendable, the levy must lull.—Code, sec.
3495, 52 Ga., 586.
3. If the same party has litigated with
the plaintiff In U, fa., he should raise such
an objection to the H. fa. at an early stage
of the litigation, and falling to do so, he
will be estopped af tor wards; but the
claimant is not the same party as the
defendant In fl. fa., so as to make this rule
applicable to It, If It boa different corpo
ration from the defendant in tl. fa., though
It own a majority of stock In the defend
ant in tl. fa.
Judgment affirmed.
R. J. Moses, Blandford Jk Garrard, for
plaintiff in error.
James Johnson, Peabody A Brannon, for
defendants.

Mr. Henry Irving’s name has served to
add a point to a good story. He lately
arrived in an English provincial town
at the same time with Myers’ circus.
An old-school tragedian happened to be
“starring” there at the time, and one day
was met on the street by an old friend,
who asked him how he was doing. “Bad,
bad as bad can be," croaked the tragedian;
“not quarter houses!” The sympathizing
friend condoled with him, and finally
wound up by saying, “Rut then yon must
remember Mr. Irving is a very popular
actor.” “Mr. Irving!” exclaimed the
tragic one. “Hang Mr. Irvingl I’ll star
against Mr. Irving anywhere, but I’d like
to .know who is to star against two per
forming elephants!”

AS TO LIFE INSURANCE.
mb. talkaoe pictures its benefits
AND DRAWS A DRAMATIC MORAL
THEREFROM.
From til. N. Y. World, 26th ]
In preaching to the life-insurance
people yeaterduy Mr. Talmage fitted
to his disoourse a text taken from the
thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth verses
of the forty-first chapter of Genesis:
“Let Pbaroah do this, and let him
appoint officers over the land and
take up the fifth part of the land of
Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
And let them gather ail the food of
these good years that came and lay
up corn under the hand of Pbaroah
and let them keep food in the ities.”,
“These are the words of Joseph,
the President of the first life insur
ance company the world ever saw,”
Mr. Talmage said: “Pharaoh had
fallen asleep und had seen in a
dream seven fat, sleek, glossy cows
and seven gaunt cows, the worst cat
tie anybody had ever seen, and the
gaunt cows had fallen upon the fat
cows and devoured them’’—at all of
which Mr. Talmage represented
Pharaoh as being gieatiy perplexed,
until Joseph explained to him the
meaning of the singular vision, tell
ing him that the tut cows meant
seven prosperous years and the lean
cows seven years of famine, which
latter should devour the fatness of
their predeceeHors. "Then Joseph,
the President,” Mr. Talmage Said,
“established branch houses in every
Egyptian city” and gave himself up
to the duties of this "great life insur
ance company, which had millions
of dollars of assets,” and which com
prised “the Tontine plan, the Mutual
Endowment plan and all plans what
soever.” The idea entertained by
some superficial people that the
aeheme of life insurance originated
in the seventeenth century Mr. Tal
mage stigmatized as nonsense, and
said it was as old as the corn crib3 of
Vhe preacher went on to say that
some people considered life Insurance
impious, and that just now in partic
ular they were making bigoted war
upon the system. His own opinion
of the matter he presented very for
cibly, and with a stamp of the foot.
“Against this panic in regard to life
insurance companies,” he said, “in
the name of God I solemnly protest.
The life insurance companies have
paid out more in death claims and
dividends than they ever have re
ceived in premiums. Perhaps there
are abuses connected with them, but
to create a panic against them lor
this is as preposterous as it would be
to root up a field of potatoes in order
to exterminate the potato bugs, or as
It would be to blow up a steamer in
mid-Atlantic for the sake of cleaning
the barnacles off uer bottom. It is
the minister’s duty,” Mr. Talmage
continued, taking a Bible off the lit
tle table at his side, "to declare God’s
counsel on this subject. I think we
shall be safe in accepting what this
Book has to say in regard to it.”
Here Mr. Talmage read that pas
sage of the scripture which ia to the
effect that if a man fail to provide for
his family he is worse than an inlidel.
“Ponder that,” Mr. Talmage said ; ‘if
you don’t provide foryour family you
are worse than Tom Paine aud Vol
taire.” Other passages euually to the
point Mr. Talmage read, and com
mented upon them as he was moved.
Of the functionary who pavs the
claims ho said : “The man who puts
down the hard money upon the table
of the widow is performing a religious
rite.” The Scriptural injunction “Lot
thy house be in order,” the preacher
construed, “Settle up vour accounts.
Don’t leave any of Jay Gould’s bonds
or deeds of Western lands with a
crop of chills and fever to your fami
ly for a legacy, but leave them good
hard money,” He went on to speak
of the professing Christian who falls
to provide for his family against the
emergency of his death. “If you do
neglect them,” said he to the Chris
tiau, “it is a mean thing for you to
go up to heaven and leave them in
the poor-house. They may think of
your splendid robes in heaven, but
thinking won’t keep them warm.
Tbe choir may come and sing over
your remains, the hearets may think
four angels have alighted in the or
gan-lolt, but your death will be a
swindle.”
Mr. Talmage spoke of tho uncer
tainly of the ordinary* last will aud
testament. “Meu die solvent, and
are insolvent before they get under
the ground. How soon the auc
tioneer’s mallet will knock life out
of the estate! rip up the Axmtnster,
sell out the wardrobe and let the
womau tako a child in each arm and
trudge out into the world!” A
life policy Mr. Talmage considered
pretty certain, and urged it upon his
hearers. “That man says he can’t
afford to pav the premium! Why he
swallows more down in wine and
cigars than would pay a thousand
premiums. Indifference to this sub
ject breeds hs paupers. Who are
these lost 60uls gliding under the
gas-lights in their shawls? It is hard
lor a woman to be left in the world
penniless and alone. She struggles
on for awhile, but one day surelv
comes the angel of death, and they
fight a great light between the bread
less bread-tray and the fireless fire
place, and the great black-winged
angel shrieks. ‘Ha, ha! I’ve won
the dav!’
■‘Brooklyn on fire!” said Mr. Tal
mage suddenly; “New York on fire!
Charleston on fire! Boston on lire!
San Francisco on fire! Paris on fire!
London on fire! Calcutta on fire! Yo
kahama on fire! the Andes on fire!
the Appenines on fire! the Himala
yas on fire! and, what is worse, the
waters we throw upon them will take
fire! The Mississippi will be on fire!
and Niagara will be turned into a
leaping and hissing tongue of terri
ble flame! The heats will dart down
from the surface of the earth, and
breathe upon the fiery centre, and
the fierce geological heats of the
interior will burst forth and scorch
and consume the surface! On that
day will you be fire-proof, or will you
be a total loss? Will you be rescued,
or will you be consumed ? Will you
perish, or will you get out on the fire
escape of the Lord’s deliverance ?”
And with a few metaphors of less
importance, Mr. Talmage finished
his sermon.
