LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION In City and Huhnrta. Tlie Two Infamies. The Pri-eldont han approved the Civil Rights bill, and, in doing so, he did not, in the least, surprise the Southern l>oople. The Force bill bus passed, and as soon as it is transmit ted to him, he will greedily append ids signature to the infamous law, without reading it, but hoping it stronger and more tyrannical than it is, If such a thing be possible. We have heard a great deal lately übout how the soldiers of the North felt towards us, and yet Grant was a soldier, and is the acknowledged leader of the Northorn soldiery. In fact, his strong support Is witli the ex-Federal soldiers. What we havo received at his hands, wo may expect from the balance, for they all hate and despise us, and in some way or other arc working out our ruin. The great trouble with our people hereto fore, has been an over-cautiousness in the expression of our honest sen timents about these people. By this sort of conduct we meant IK-aee, but they havo taken advan tage of It, and wilfully misconstrued our motive. We have been denounc ed as murderers and desperadoes, und for the sake of harmony our peo ple havo not resented it, and our tacit submission to these every-day insults has only redounded to our further persecution. The people we deal with are cowards, who take ad vantage of every receding step, to push their aggressions. It Is time we are resenting them, and in a way that will hurt them most—their pockets. Sustain homo Industries, and keep your money among your people. When they once leel the offoot of their leg islation in their pockets, they will reflect tho injustice they have done us. Beware of men coming among us in the garb of friendship, and let them see thut their motives and the effect of thoir conduct is fully under stood, and tt will not be long before the South will liave her full rights, for self-respect and a condemnation of toadyism will show tho fanatical Nortli that we mean to preserve out own ideas of civilization and right, despite their opinions. We areas in telligent, reflned, and virtuous to a far greater extent, and in all ages these qualities have Conquered over ignoranco, vice und superstition. ■—: . ♦. Our FarinluK Interests. March is tho month in which the farmers base their calculations for tho year. Before this time tho broad acres of our farmers should have been well broken up, ready for the grain. Wo are glad to hear from all sections of the country that the far mers have, at last, learned in the school of experience that they must make tlicir farms self-sustaining, and that many have adopted the Harda way intensive system of cultivation. This great tide has turned within one year, and wo feel sutistled our people mean to ride upon the “tide, which taken at the flood, leads on to for tune.” Now Is tho time to pitch your corn crop, und we beseech our farmers to profit by iist experience, and plant enough corn to do them. Why will you doubt that this is tho true phil osophy of farming, when your own sad exisnience with Hens and debts, has demonstrated tho utter impos sibility of independence, unless you own your own corn cribs ? Let there be no hesitation in the matter, and let no man wait upon his neighbor, but before ho plants his cotton, de termine to raise his own supplies. After these, then look to the accu mulation of money in the planting of cotton, but don’t sow a seed of cot ton until enough land is planted in corn, peas, to do you for the coming year. Hon. H. It. HurrU. This distinguished Georgian and Representative of our district in Con gress, will reach his home in a few days. We soe from tho Washington 1 >ai>ers that he has made a reputation for himself and his constituents iu Ills biilliuut opposition to tho Civil Bights and Force bills. While alluding to him, we would return our thanks for a set of com plete bound volumes of tho Congres sional Beeord. We And them very Interesting and useful for informa tion, and are really obliged for tliis valuable acquisition to our library. Tue best sign of the times is that the Harper’s Weekly, one of the most prominent Republican pajvers in the country, has come out bitterly in op position to the Badlcal “caucus force bill, and declares that it will ruin the BupubUcan party, as well as endan ger tho liberties of the country!” Its leading editorial is a manly and pow erful one, especially on tho light of habeas corpus, and wo are sorry tt was not heeded by the mod-caps in Congress. _ The present United States Senate is very anxious to admit, us States, the Territories of Colorado and Now Mexico, because, they think, if ad mitted, they will return four more Republican Senators, and thus give the new Senate a greater Radical majority than it will have as the States now stand. If they succeed in this trick, perhaps they may be mis taken in their calculations, for in the present aspect of i>arties, the Demo crats are as likely to carry those Ter ritories as the Radicals. -The Atlanta CommonireaUli, one of the spiciest and neatest of our ex changes, has been forced to susi'oud on account, of the hard times. An other gentleman than Col. Sawyer, proposes to hazard small sum in an : attempt to revive it A (aow-riiiiivnl take Ours I sea t be. While America is distracted over the Civil Rights and Force bills, it may be interesting to our readers to know that France is organizing a government on the plan that our Re public was built by our forefathers. After much wrangling the Nntlonul Assembly of Franco has at last suc ceeded in reaching a definite conclu sion as to the kind of government which is to prevail in that country, at least for some years to come. This unexpected result is mainly due to the general alarm created by the in trigues and machinations of the Bonapartist faction. Flushed by their success in several recent elec-1 tions, tho lca'lors of tiiat party be came so outspoken and over-confi dent that a large number of Deputies belonging to the Right Center or Orleanist wing of the Assembly, and who had heretofore persistently re fused to act with tlie Conservative Republicans, became convinced that unless they co-operated with Thiers, Dufuure, Casimir Perler and their followers of the Left Center, the present Assembly would be compelled to make way for u freshly elected body in which tho extreme Republi cans and the Imperialists would con tend for supremeey. Under the adroit leadership of Dufaure, Thiers’ right-hand man, all the various sec tions of the Republican party in the Assembly were kept together, Oum betta’s influence over the moro ex treme members of his own party be ing successfully exerted to induco them to accept tho very conservative form of Republican organization which tuts just been adopted through the accession of a portion of the Right Center, their objections being mainly removed by the cluuso pro viding for a revision of the constitu tion ut stated periods by tho two branches of the new Legislature. The Senate, which is the main fea ture of the proposed organization, is to consist of three hundred members, seventy-five of whom are to be elected by the Assembly, (whoso members are themselves elected by universal suffrage,) and the remaining two hundred and twenty-five Senators to be appointed by members of the gen eral and municipal councils of each department a plan somewhat analo gous to the American system of elect ing Senators by the State Legisla tures. At the expiration of MacMa hon’s present terra in 1880, the As sembly and the Senate will jointly elect a President for another period of seven years, the incumbent being indefinitely re-eligible to the sumo office. Although the new constitution still has to run the gauntlet of a final vote, there appears to be no doubt that it will be adopted by a large majority. There is, then, every prospect that the experiment of a conservative re public in that country will be made under tho most favorable auspices, and will rally to its support the best citizens and the wisest statesmen of France; and should President Mae- Mahon throw the weight of bis influ ence on the same side, there is every reason to hope that it will provo com pletely successful, and tiiat all patri otic Frenchmen will agree with the veteran historian and statesman Thiers, in accepting a republic as “the government which divides them least..’’ Fum* anil Feather*. Never did the action of a set of men claiming to be sensible, so utterly disgust tlie public as the report of tlie committee to investigate tho Treas ury Department. They started off like school boys, by asking tlie Treas urer to resign, and implying grave charges against him. He refused, and they reinvestigated only to re port it not so bad as first, reported, and llnally agreed that there was only five hundred dollars short; and as an offset to that tho Treasurer lmd a voucher they were not willing to al low. Some swore they would not go homo until he was turned out of office, but they finally concluded to relinquish seven dollars per diem and leave, us Jack Jones was about to ex pose their Imbecility and weakucss. They were satisfied in getting a vote of censure In the manner of his book keeping. Well, was this not a huge thing, that there should bo such frauds and yet were satisfied in a vote of censure? That comraitteo was an enlightened one anyway, as we hear not one of them were able to distin guish a day-book from a blotter. Competent men they to sit in judg ment upon a man’s integrity who knew how to be honest, before they learned the rudiments. Everybody exclaims, What a fizzle; and Jack Jones can only stand higher in the estimation of Georgians, if he will show up the demagogueism of this committee, and tho reasons that prompted such a slanderous report. How many good Christians, who dress finely and fare sumptuously every day, ever stop the clatter of their knives and forks for a moment to consider how many hundreds, not far distant, have not a good morsel to put in their mouths, or in the crying mouths of their little chil dren ? A good text for Sunday ser mons and daily reflection. The address of the Democratic Con gressmen to their constituents in the South receives warm commendation from the press of that section. The Mobile RerjUter says of it: “The truth is that the Country is trying to be at peace and to bury the asperities of a deplorable war nearly a decade after its close. But the Radical party sees its own cud in the peace that all the interests of the land and the hearts of the i>eople yearn for, and the ques tion before the country is, shall it have peace and prosperity restored, or shall the Radical luuty continue to live and govern the country like so many stormy petrels, who rejoice and prosper only when the elements of discord are let loose upon society? The address is timely, and will not be lost upon the people to whom it is sent.” MlPKlrtlE COUItT IIECIHIOXS. r.KSriKUED IN ATLANTA, OA., FEB. 18, 1875. HON. HIRAM WARNER, CHIEF JUSTICE; HONS, H. K. M’KAY AND It. P. TBTPPE, judges! Reported by Henry Jackson, St preme Court Iteportcr, Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos., vs. Isaac It Hall, factor, Lien from Oglethorpe. Warner, C. J. This was a proceeding instituted by the pluintiffs against the defendant, to foreclose a merchant’s lien for gu ano sold to him. The defendant filed his counter affidavit, alleging that the guano purchased of the plaintiffs was worthless os a fertilizer and not rea sonably suited to the use intended. Gn trial of the issue between the par ties the jury, under the ciiurge of the court, found a verdict in favor of the defendant. The plaintiffs made a motion fora new trial on the grounds contained therein, which was over ruled by the court, and tho plaintiffs excepted. The main grounds of er ror insisted on here was rite refusal of the court to charge the jury as re quested, and to the charge as given. The court was requested to charge the jury: . , If you believe from t he evidence be- fore you that tiie fertilizer bought by defendant contained the chemical in gredients which ought, with proper use, under ordinary circumstances, to promote. Vegetation, and is such a fertilizer, then the plaintiff is entitled to recover in ttiis case.” “The law of implied warranty which requires all dealers in fertilizers to warrant them reasonably suited to the use intend ed, does not require the seller to guarantee results, or an actual in crease of production. If the evidence shows that the fertilizer sold wusauf such a nature and contained such elements as will reasonably pro duce increased production, and is such a fertilizer, the plaintiff com plied with the requirements of the luw, whether in point of fact the crop of the defendant was increased by the use of the fertilizer or not.’’ There is a great deal of evidence in the record in relation to tho practical effect of the use of the guano on tho defend ant’s crop; and although the evidence is conflicting, still wo think there is u preponderance of evidence in favor of the defendant, as to worthlessness of tho particular lot of guano as a fertilizer sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, whatever may have been the chemical ingredients of the plain tiff’s fertilizer as generally prepared by them. Practical demonstration of tho value of a fertilizer, when prop erly used, is a much safer and better tost than mere theories. The court charged the jury as fallows: If there is no express covenant of warranty tho purchaser must exercise caution in detecting defects; the sell er, however, in all cases, unless ex pressly or from the nature of the transaction expected, warrants: 1. That ho has a valid title and right to soil. 2. That the article sold is merchant able and reasonably suited to the use intended. :t. That lie knows of no latent de fects undisclosed. “A seller of fertilizers warrants that tlie article is merchantable and tea-; sonably suited to the use intended. He warrants that it is a manure, that it, is reasonably suited for giving ad ditional capacity to laud to produce a crop. The planter must determine if the fertilizer is suited to his land. Tho seller does not warrant against the seasons, so that if his fertilizer fails on account of tlie seasons, the purchaser is liable. The warranty that, it is reasonably suited to the use intended, that it will increase the productiveness of the land, is not broken if bad cultivation or the seasons cause the loss of the crop. The purchaser is bound to use reasonable care and caution in (sit ting ou t his fertilizer. To entitle the , defendant to n verdict he must show clearly that his bad crops resulted from the worthlessness of the guano. The opinion of a chemist, made after an analysis of the guano, is evi dence for you to consider, but is not conclusive evidence of the suitable ness of the guano for tho purpose in tended. You may look to the con stituents of this guano, as shown by I)r. Means and others, to determine the value of this manure. You may look also to the testimony of wit nesses before going to show (experi ment, witli the same kind of guano and practical results. Theories may not accord with experience. If the testimony id witnesses, founded on experiment and trial, preponderates in favor of the defendant, and satis fies you that tlie article sold was not reasonably suited for tlie uses intend ed, you might to find for the defend ant'; but if the testimony, mixed with theory and experiments with this gu ano. preponderates in favor of the plaintiffs, you ought to find for them. The court also charged the jury, at the request of the plaintiff's counsel, as follows: “if you believe, from the testimony, that the fertilizer bought by the defendant from the plaintiff, was reasonably suited to the use in tended, pluintiffs are entitled to a verdict at your hands, although it may be true that tiie crop of defen dant was not benefitted by the use of said fertilizer. In determine whether said fertilizer was really suited to the use intended you may look to all the testimony. “The law. where there is no ex press contract, does not require the plaintiff to guarantee that Ins fertili zer is of tin' highest grade. It must be reasonably suited to the use in tended, that is, reasonable increase in the production of crops,and if you believe, under instructions already given you, that this fertilizer was such a fertilizer as would produce such increased production, then the court charges von that you may con sider it reasonably suited to the use intended. “Tlie admissions of an agent only bind tiie prinei|wU when mode in the scope of his business as agent, und if either (>arty relies on such admis sions he must show they were made In the scope of his business. In view of the evidence contained in the record, and the previous rul ings of tliis court, in similar eases, we find no error in the charge of the court to the jury, or in refusing to charge as requested. There was no error in overruling the motion for anew trial. Let tlie judgment of tho court be low be affirmed. Lumpkin & Oliver, by John C. Reed, for plaintiffs in error. \Y. S. Jackson, for defendant. The Clarksville Chronicle states that the proprietor of the Southern Hotel in that city, Mr. J. Tarpley, declines to renew his hotel license until the Civil Rights bill is disposed of. The bill lias iissed, and if it is approved by the President. Mr. Tarp ley will not renew his license. Nacohtv.—The Baltimore Counoil men having expelled one of their members for accepting a fifty dollar bribe, a naughty fellow says they got on a ramqiage with him for “under cutting regular rates,” and determin ed to make of him an example which should be at once final and tremen dous. ukiikuu xrws. —The Odd Fellows of Griffin will celebrate the 2<ith of April. Public schools for whiles have been opened in Brunswick. Tlie Legislature repealed tho law exempting firemen from jury duty. —The city commons of Brunswick havo been leased for agricultural pur poses. Mrs. H. J. Porter died in Lump kin Sunday night. She is spoken of as a noble woman, of large charity. Tho Quitman Reporter is one year old, but bus never been the happy recipient of one dollar foru marriage notice. —A policeman in Savannah was stabbed by a countryman, but there is no disposition ou I he-part of the newspapers to cry out lyuuh law! —Tho colored people of Augusta arc progressing finely; they have a large lodge. Some about here, will either have to quit drinking or go to work. Mr. Henry Worthy, of Meri wether county, whs arrested under the Enforcement act and taken to At lanta, and after an examination was discharged. Mr. Patrick Mulehi, a native of I “auld Ireland” but residing inCraw | ford county, concluded he would die by his own hand, and accordingly took arsenic, but lie yelled out, and i with the aid of a stomach-pump, he I was snatched from the grave. —We are of opinion that the At lanta News ranks among the best pa pers published in Georgia, if not the best. It is bold and independent, fearless in the condemnation of fraud, and always ready to vindicate justice. We always welcome tho paper to our sanctum, and read it with pleasure and profit. Those desiring a paper from tho capital will learn everything going on through the News. ALABAMA NEW*. Tlie Dadoville Head Light lias again made its appearance. Round Mountain Iron Works are turning out twelve tons of pig duily. -There are 45 students in the State University, and they cost tlie State $24,000 annually. —We have received no Selma or Eutaula papers recently. What is the matter 7 —Gen. E. W. Rucker, for the last five years Superintendent of tlie Sel ma, Illarion and Memphis Railroad, has resigned that position. —The people of West Alabama are increasing the acreage of small grain, and giving more attention to a diver sified agriculture. —The Board of Directors have again chosen Colonel J. R. Powell for President, and W. J. Milner for Secretary, of the Elyt.oll Land Com pany. —Tlie Livingston Jour Ml says: We are informed that, some of the svhoat fields in south Sumter have sustained injury from repeated freez ings and thawings. The Legislature has not yet pass ed the Revenue bill nor the Conven tion liill indeed the indications are that neither of them will be passed. Tho appearances and evidence's seem to be decidedly against the calling of a Convention, so faros the Legisla ture is concerned. Merriwcther, a colored Republi can from Wilcox county, and one of the most influential negroes in the House, said in a speech a few days ago, that the colored men were not so easily intimidated us some of his friends would have it believed they wore. He declared that nothing would intimidate them but muskets. The Flood in North Georgia. -The Atlanta Herald lias a special from North Georgia, which states that the flood in that region was the greatest ever known. At Dalton several per sons were killed and injured. One house was blown down, set on fire, anda child burned to death in it. Another large frame dwelling was blown to pieces, the greater portion of it carried several hundred yards distance. The house was completely raised from the ground, leaving only the floor, and the family, consisting of eight persons, who miraculously escaped without injury. Three other houses were badly damaged, one of them turned almost completely around. Tlie injury to stock and fencing was considerable. Three railroad bridges were washed away between Dalton and Ringgold. A culvert at Tunnel Hill and two miles of track were de | stroyed. Dunn & Brown’s three story I flouring mill, near Ringgold, was 1 washed to Graysvillc a distance of : seven miles. Loss, over twelve thou- I sand dollars. The railroad track at I Tilton is under water for several miles. Advices from Tennessee state that almost the entire business portion of 1 Chattanooga is under water, and that j boats are being used to aid the escape ; of the citizens and to save goods, Ac. The flood in that, city is several feet higher than in 1807, and great distress prevails among the inhabitants. THOS. J. CHAPPELL, Atlorncy Jit ILsi xv mul Mn<fistrato.
