FBIDAY MOKNING, JAN. 21.1870
CHIEF JUSTICE BROW.N.
The opinion vouchsafed by ex-Governor
Brown concerning the eligibility of certain
members of the. so-called Georgia Legisla
ture is a very creditable, and, it may be, a
very opportune-production. It completely
riddles the hair-splitting opinion of Potash
Farrow and the prompt endorsement of
that “ learned jurist,” General Terry. The
question still remains, will this opinion of
Chief Justice Brown’s prove operative and
so contribute to the successful defense of
the members whose eligibility is now under
inquisition ? It may have this good effect,
and we trust it will, but this is a hopeful
view and depends for fruition upon doubt
ful contingencies. Potash Farrow may
possibly have been the author of the opinion
which bears his name, but there are not.
wanting shrewd judges who assert that it,
was concocted at Washington city by men
who assume to run the Southern Machine.
General Terry’s prompt and decisive en
dorsement of it would favor this sugges
tion. When we have asked some of the
General’s intimates how so learned a jurist
could have blundered into such an absurd
endorsement, they shook their heads
knowingly, and then more than inti
mated that he did not endorse voluuta
r?]y but was obliged to act thus in con
sequence of orders and instructions from
a higher power. If .this higher power either
prepared the Farrow opinion or caused
its endorsement, will the higher power
aforesaid care one single continental chew
of tobacco for Chief Justice Brown or his
ipse-dirit f We fear not. But whether it
does or not, the Chief Justice deserves ap
probation for his course and it is to be
sincerely hoped that his powerfal influence
may continue to be exerted for the good of
the State whenever it is imperilled by
knaves at home or abroad. Joseph E.
Brown has done some things which Geor
gians will And very hard either to forgive
or forget ; but lie is a man of undoubted
parts and may do much in the future to
expiate whatever is hideous in his past.
No More Shams. —The Mobile IVibwie.
is tired of fighting Radicals with all sorts
of Chinese fantastics, borrowed from cast
off wardrobes. Our contemporary says:
“ Owing in a great measure to gross mis/
“ management on the, part of their jdff
“ constituted leaders, the people the
“ South are naturally yielding to despair,
“ and flying panic stricken from their homes
“ to seek new ones in the Far West.
“ It has become absolutely necessary to
“ propose a halt; to cast from our limbs
“ the Northern masqueradiug dress which
“ we doffed for a temporary purpose that it
“ failed to subserve, and planting firmly
“ our banner of Southern manhood, rally
“ under its folds the talent, the wisdom and
“ the tried faith of our suffering country.”
Very Good. — A petition, signed by a
number of citizens of Massachusetts, has
beeu forwarded to Representative Cox, of
New York, with the request that he sub
mit it to Congress. The petitioners pray
that their State be remanded to a territo
rial government for its treasonable course
in 1842, its unrepublican denying the right
of suffrage to those who cannot read and
write, and for its connection with the Hart
ford Convention. Mr. Cox means to pre
sent the petition as requested by its
signers.
The Difference. —General MeadE
officially declared that all ttie members of
the Georgia Legislature were properly
qualified under the Reconstruction acts
and the XIY Amendment. But General
Terry does not seem to think so. It is a
terrible thing to be a “ learned jurist.”
Discretion. —The Louisville Courier-
Journal has this hit:
“ Washington dispatches tell us that the
President, and General Sherman have left
everything in Georgia to the discretion of
General Terry. This is probably a mistake,
as Terry is understood to have no discre
tion. ”
The Drum-Head. —The Atlanta corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says:
“The commission will, of coarse, unseat a
number of Democrats, aud thereby give
the Radicals a majority—just what they
have been working for.”
Our Edgefield Letter.
Edgefield, C. H., S. C., Jan. 17.
Editor op Constitutionalist : During
the past week several very important cases
have been tried in our court. The will case
of Hugh Mosely occupied two days. This
was » second trial, as the cause had been
tried two years ago and sent back, on the
ground of misdirection by the Judge. The
testator had by his will cut off his wife and
child (except her doweiQ.au,cLgave his prop
erty to a niece. His widow sought to set
aside the will, on the ground that at the
time he made his will he was laboring
under a morbid delusion on a certain sub
ject; but as no insanity had been proved,
the jury sustained the validity of the will.
The case of Grice vs Mobley, on an action
of case, for enticing away the laborers of
the plaintiff in 1867. This was a novel case
in our court, and being the ftrst cause of
the kind, attracted unusual attention. The
accusation was that lour laborers were en
ticed away by the defendant. The jury
save a verdict for the, plain tiff for S3OO.
'here was a similar action commenced here,
Attaway vs. Coleman, in 1868, but the de
feqdant paid up the damages before the
first term of the court. x\ similar cause
was tried in Barnwell in 1868, in the case
of Hankerson vs. Foreman, and the jury
gave a verdict for $750. Hon. C. P. Leslie,
land commissioner and Senator from Barn
well undertook to have the verdict set
aside at the February term in Barn
well, 1869, but failed. The writer of this
was present, and heard Leslie upon
the constitutionality of tlie verdict. He
said if any such law existed, he should have
it Immediately repealed. All I have to
say is, that if one neighbor entices away
the laborers of another, after they have
made an agreement for a specified time,
and gone to work, by offering them more
than they are getting, they should be held
accountable for damages, and be made to
pay smart and damages besides ; and the
good citizens will endorse all such ver
dicts. This enticing away of another’s la
borers has been a crying evil in this State
during the past three years, and it is high
time it should be stopped. Also, the case
of Lyles vs. Tullv and Tucker, for dam
ages sustained by plaintiff in an action,
vi el armis , upon the person of plaintiff by
defendants, in 1867. Verdict for plaintiff
for $1 ,600. Several other causes of minor
importance were tried, principally for
debt, during the week.
His Honor Judge Orr has given univer
sal satisfaction during the term, and onr
people can never forget his kind and
obliging manner to every one that had deal
ings with him.
Our regular term of court will convene
here on the first Monday in February. *

[From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
The Danger of the Time.
With merely factious opposition, to the
ruling party we cau have no sympathy. It
proceeds in almost all cases from politi
cians whose only ambition is to turn out
the ipsand take the Government spoils them
selves. We would fain believe that the
Radicals do many things from a sincere be
lief that they are right and just, and would
hope that in the end some of them will
prove beneficial to the country. So fair and
moderate and disinterested a view, in which
the claims and interests of parties are sub
ordinated to those of the country, no par
tisan Democratic politician can in the na
ture of thiDgs take; and, therefore, it is no
cause of surprise that the Democratic State
ConventionsofNew Hampshire andlndiana,
recently assembled, should have found noth
ing but occasions for severe criticism and
denunciation in the acts of the governing
party. The effect of these broad, wholesale
censures upon the policy and conduct of
the Radicals will hardly be what is expect
ed bv the authors of them. Old party
alliances are. and should be still further
broken up, and it is the height of folly lor
the Democrats to undertake to fight new
campaigns on old issues, which the people
have already decided. The object of that
party, representing as it does the nucleus
of opposition, should be to detach the more
independent and conservative of the Repub
licans from the connection that they now
hold. The Democratic managers understand
this well enough iu theory, but they fail to
incorporate it in practice. To particularize
a single example of their want of tact and
adaptiveness. They do not, in their plat
forms, bring into sufficiently bold relief the
paramount evil of the doctrine of centraliza
tion. This is anew doctrine, invented,
patented and enforced by the Radicals. It
is the foundation principle of their policy,
as developed from time to time in Govern
ment measures. It is distinctively anti-
Democratic, anti-Republican and anti-
American, offensive to the pride and dignity
of States, and must sooner or later make
itself odious to great masses of men wtio
now vote witli the Republican party. For
the present we observe its effects chiefly on
the Southern unreconstructed States, which
are ruled from Washington with a rod of
iron as mercilessly wielded as that of the
Czar of Russia over the subjects of his dis
tant provinces. The outrage upon the Geor
gia Legislature, the whole conduct of Con
gress towards Virginia, which will proba
bly culminate in the upsetting of all that
she has done to get back into the Union, in
violation of the most selemn pledges, are
the latest croppings out of the centraliza
tion movement. The focal point is Congress
—and that is the most alarming thing
about it. The leading spirits in the scheme
in the Senate and House are gradually ab
sorbing the powers of the Executive— so
that he is already but a passive instrument in
their hands —and they clearly aim to monopo
lize also the functions of the Supreme Court
of the United States. Controlling the patron
age of the whole Government, and dictating
the judicial decisions, having at their back
aud command vast multitudes of beneficia
ries and tools all over the country, they hope
and expect to insure their re-election perpetu
ally. Centralization is but another name
for a ring^composed of the Radical master
politicians, to whom the humbler members
pay fealty and receive their reward. It is
insatiable, and must continue to grow in
avarice and insolence, until it extends its
baleful effects over all the States of the
Union, or is broken up and forever over
thrown by an indignant people. When the
South is reduced to a perfectly submissive
and helpless state at the feet of the cen
tralizers, and her Legislatures do only what
they are ordered to from Washington, then
will come the turn of the Northern States —and
there the shoe will pinch. From dictating
to Georgia and Virginia, Texas and Mis
sissippi, there will be but one step, and that
not a long one, to'issuing and executing man
dates upon the legislatures of New York , New
Jersey, or any other Northern Democratic
State. The precedent of turning out a De
mocratic representative from Kentucky and
installing a Radical in his place (for no
earthly reason except that the former was
accused of having sympathized with the
rebellion) may be as properly followed in the
case of a member elected from any Northern
State. Congress has fully as much power to
do it in one instance as the other. If the
people of New York should, some year,
have all their Democratic Congressmen
sent back to them, and their seats given to
the Radical coutestauts, they would then
appreciate the power and tyranny of cen
tralization. But we would have them fl id
it out and combat it before it has made
such progress. To explain its evils and fix
the attention of the American people upon
the immediate necessity of overcoming this
fatal principle shouid be the main duty of
the opposition. It will pot sufijee to refer
to it in a word and then dismiss it, as the
New Hampshire and Indiana conventions
did, but the greatest stress should be laid
upon it. Old grievances and buried and
forgotten differences should be passed over,
and a rally attempted to be made of what
is left of the spirit of true Republicanism
and Democracy, of Americanism and free
dom, for the rights of the several States
within their proper limits against this enor
mous and. all-grasping despotism of central
ization. It is now the weakest and most
assailable point of Radicalism, but if allow
ed to remain unattacked, will soon be built
upiuto the strongest part of its system.
In a campaign properly begun aud vigor
ously carried on for its
no other motto than “anti-centralization"
on the banners, we believe that the Demo
cratic party could rely ou the support of
iarge numbers of those who now generally
act with the Republicans.
What Georgia is Coming to.—The
Radicals have bankrupted. North Caro
lina. The Raleigh Sentinel says :
We understand that the Doorkeepers of
the Senate and House of Commons can get
no stationery for the hands from the Secre
tary of State, for the reason that the bills
for the stationery have been presented at
the Treasury and protested. Secretary
Menuinger will not give out any more
paper, pens or ink, pencils, envelopes or
sealing wax, until the bills for th« pur
chase of these articles are paid.
We learn that the bill for gas used in the
Capitol was presented a few days ago, and
not paid.
What a spectacle! The honest old State
of North Carolina, whose people have just
finished paying into her Treasury over a
million of dollars of tax, unable, even at the
beginning of the year, to pay for the pens
and paper used by members of the Legisla
ture, or to settle a gas bill. All the mem
bers of the Legislature, except Blythe, get
ting $7 a day, and still the Treasurer is
uuable to pay for a quire of paper for them
to write letters to the “ dear ones at home !”
A million of taxes collected and can’t pay
the gas bill:
Where's is the Money? Where's the
money? WHERE’S THE MONEY gone
to?
No money for the Insane Asylum ! No
money for the Deaf and Dumb Institute!
No money for ice next Summer!
A million of dollars collected in taxes by
this Radical administration, and can’t pay
for stationery—can’t pay the gas* bill!
Bullock and Hulbert—The Good
Little Boys. —We have continually la
bored under the impression that we should
gain nothing from the split in the Radical
ranks, and have endeavored so to impress'
our people. We have just stumbled on a
little jnece of intelligence that confirms onr
faith; The Atlanta correspondent .of the
Cincinnati Commercial has interviewed
Hulbert a second time. The amiable mar
tyr thus responds:
“What do you think of Bullock’s
course ?
“ I like Bullock; he’s a generous, clever
fellow, but he’s too much of an extremist
either for liis own good or the good of the’
State. He listens to bad advice.”
“ Wero you expecting to be decapitated
when the order came ?”
“Yes, the thing hits been working for
three mouths or more. But Bullock did a
good thing for me when he cut off my
head. I told him so the other day, and he
acknowledged It.”
Hulbert loves Bullock; he is so gener
ous, so clever. And Bullock, he kicks Hul
bcrt oat of the fattest place in Georgia.—
And Hulbert is not mad. Oh! no. He
loves Bullock. Bullock has done him a
favor. And Bullock acknow'edges it.

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO ON THE NASHVILLE
RAILBbAD—CAVE CITY AND PREWITT’S
SNOB DESTROYED—-TERRIBLE DESTRUC
TION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY—NAMES OF
KILLED AND WOUNDED—FIVE HUNDRED
PERSONS RENDERED HOMELESS AND DES
TITUTE—THE STORM AT OTHER POINTS—
RAILROAD TRACKS AND BRIDGES WASHED
AWAY.
Cave City, January 17.—A tornado
struck the southern portion of this town
on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
eighty-five miles from Louisville this morn
ing, at four o’clock. About fifty houses
were completely destroyed, and not less
than five hundred persons were rendered
homeless aud destitute ot clothing and food.
It all occurred in less than two minutes.
The moon went down before day, and the
darkness was intense. The houses were
literally torn to splinters, not even a whole
shingle being left.. Some were carried away
and scattered to the winds, and others
crushed upon their foundations.
George Poynter was blown at least three
hundred yards.
R. B. A. Hunter and Wm. Duncan each
were blown fifty 3'ards, but not badly hurt.
George Poyuter’s child had a fragment of
timber blown through its body.
The names of the killed and wounded, as
far as learned, have already been sent.
The tobacco barn of G. T. Middleton,
containing ten thousand dollars’ worth of
tobacco, was blown to fragments, and large
quantities of the tobacco were found three
or four miles from the site ot the barn.
The handsome UnionCliurch, belonging
to all the denominations, well furnished,
and the only house of public worship in
the place, was torn to splinters.
The building known as the Masonic
Lodge and College is a total loss.
Two-thirds of the families residing in
the place are made homeless and destitute
of food and clothing. Considering that so
many persons were within the line of the
tornado, it is astonishing that so few were
killed or hurt. Those who have survived
the storm and have reviewed the scene of
devastation, say that it seems incredible
that anything could live within its reach.
The Storm King undulated and gyrated,
at times jumpiug over houses and again
going outside of its course, snatching a
house or barn from its foundation, playful
ly tossing it into the air and scattering it
to the winds, and then resuming its course.
A piano is now lying in the public road,
half burled in the mud. Clothing torn to
shreds, and furniture to splinters, and
scattered in every direction. The surface
of a large pond near the place is covered
with the debris, consisting of fragments of
all kinds of goods and furniture.
In many instances the clothing was
literally torn from persons, and yet they
received no serious injuries. Rev. J. B.
Grubbs, of the Christian Church, a resident
of Emiuence, Ky., and well known in
Louisville, who has been conducting a pro
tracted meeting here, was hurt, it was
thought dangerously, but his injuries,
though serious, are not so bad as first sup
posed.
The southern portion of the town, as far
north as Middleton’s old house, was torn
down. The storm came from the south
west, aud, after passing Cave City, took an
eastern course and became lighter and less
destructive.
Hardy vilie, fourteen miles east of this, is
reported to have beeu completely destroyed,
but the reports are conflicting. The place
was probably not seriously damaged. The
first damage done was ten miles southwest
of this, at Bird’s school-house, three miles
south of Glasgow Junction. The storm
followed close to the railroad, keeping on
the south, touching it only at one point be
fore reaching Cave City. The track of the
tornado was half a mile wide. From the
starting point and to 3ome distance east of
tliis place hardly a house was left stand
ing.
Prewitt’s Knob, a little place two miles
west of here was completely destroyed,
the old tavern house being the only
house left standing. John McCowan and
his eldest daughter were killed, Mrs.
McCowan was badly injured, Mr. Fites
and child, also at that place, were kill
ed, and several persons badly injured.—
Mr. Downer’s stable, at ttie same place,
was destroyed, and a large number of
fine horses and mules were killed.—
Downer & Williams’ nursery and orchard
was totally destroyed.
Dr. J. Wibon, 12 miles west of Prewitt’s
Knob, was badly wounded, and his wife is
supposed to be badly wounded. These are
ail of the most serious casualties which oc
curred before reaching here.
Henry Brown, who resides one mile west
of this place, will probably die.
[To the Associated Press.
Cave City, January 17: —A storm pass
ed through here about 4 o’clock this morn
ing, totally demolishing about fifty houses
in Cave City and vicinity, among which
arc the Masonic Lodge and church.
Among the killed are Geo. W. Poynter,
wife aud child, Mrs. D. Sterrell, A. S. Da
vidson, Johfi McGowan and child, the two
Vaughans aud Miss Fit?.
Miss M. Drane, Miss Neville, J. H. Fos
ter, J. 11. Brown, D. McKennie and wife,
Dr. J. S. Wilson -and wife, Johu Edwards
and W. Parrish were mortallv wounded.
A. L- Mallory and nephew, Prof. Wil
liams, wife, and two children, Robert Jolly,
wife, and child, Miss Jennie Farris, 11. Her
man, wife, aud daughter, Miss Moss Lively,
two of E. T- Ritter’s children, two of J. IJ.
Foster’s children, were slightly wounded.
The storm came from the southwest,
going northeast, tearing down trees and
everything in its course. Houses were
blown in every direction and stock killed.
The citizens have beep on hand since four
o’clock this morning, revering aid and as
sistance to the afflicted. The rain was
pouring down at the time in torrents.
Women and children were scattered around
their desolated homes in their night clothes,
chilled through with the cold and rain.
G. W. Poynter was found some three
hundred yards from where his house stood,
undressed.
Davidsou was found in a pond, about one
hundred yards from his house.
A house fell on Mrs. Sterrell. She had a
two week’sold baby in her arms when found.
The baby was not hurt.
Two men slept up stairs iu Dayridsop’s
house. They were not much hurt..
About sixty families were rendered home-'
less, and need aid and assistance very bad
ly-
Cincinnati, January 17.—There was an
unusually heavy storm of rain and hail,
accompanied with wind and thunder and
lightning this morniDg, about four o’clock.
Considerable damage in the city from over
flowed cellars. The Miami river is withiu
two feet of its highest. The wind dam
aged the churches in Dayton and Miaras
burg. The embankments on the Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad were washed away,
but trains arrived late. Trains were de
layed on the Marietta and Cincinnati and
Little Miami Railroads. The latter road is
under water in several places.
Cincinnati, January 17, P. M.—The
storm ended to-day. Weather rapidly turn
ing cold. Ohio river risen ten feet in the
last twenty-four hours, and still, rising,
Water is into basements and first floors on

Mill creek valley is wholly submerged.
No serious damage from wind. Only one
person drowned. Herman Schmitz, an em
ployee at Spring Qrove Cemetery, fell into
Mill creek and was drowned-
Trains are delayed on all the roads. The
Little Miami road is under water near
Loveland and other places. No trains have
been seut out to-night. The whole force is
at work repairing the tracleof the Marietta
and Cincinnati Road. The trains suspend
ed to-day will resume to-morrow. The
other roads are slightly damaged.
At Chillicothe, Ohio, a singular atmos
pheric phenomenon occurred during a lull
of the storm, about midnight. It consisted
in a broad garish light like early dawn.
The steamer Fawn foundered at Marietta
in the middle of the river. No lives lost.—
Boat a total loss.
Columbus, 0., January 17.—The water
in the Scioto river is higher than it has
been for 20 years. Great damage has oc
curred. No trains reached here from Cin
cinnati to-day, on account of bridges being
washed away.
Nashville, January 17.—This section of
country was visited last night by a storm
of wind and rain, accompanied with light
ning and thunder.
In this city the Shelby Medical College,
Ward’s Seminary and the depot of the
Nashville and Decatur Railroad lost parts
of their tin roofs.
The steeple of Elm and Summer streqfc

PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the. form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or
DIBSOL v ED BONE PHOSPHATE, ift the bnsis of all #ood Fertilizers, and these are valuable
in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them.
The immense deposits of Phosphatic Gnarios which were discovered iu 1867, in South Caro
lina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime which is made available as
a Fertilizer by being ground 10 powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition as
to make its insoluble phosphate soluble in water, aud thus made capable of being taken up by
growing plants. The insoluble phosphate lound in any Commercial Fertilizer is ol no more
value to the. plant than the original phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this soluble
phosphate which any fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per a re, and consequent
ly the cheapest Fertilizer is that containing the highest per rentage of Soluble Phosphate.
Impressed with these truths, the SULPHURIC ACID AND SUPERPHOSPHATE COM
PANY have erected at Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers South of Baltimore, and
are able to offer to Planters the. HIGHEST PER CENTAGE OF SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF
UM F. known in any market,.

Thr Ibrcgoing analysis ol the Etiwan Fertilizer, No. 1, indicates a high proportion of Soluble
rbosphoric Acid, an indispensable element in the production of fruitage for Cotton, Corn and
the Cereals generally, and which, in this condition, acts promptly during the first year. The
amount of Insoluble Phosphate ot Lime which it contains—equal to 10.41 per cent—remains
in the soil, to undergo chemical re action favorable to a succeeding crop. It will rank there
