Inturturr at Party •rmnlutMn.
It Is uioro Important now tlmn ever
that there should be a perfect party
organization. Georgia has been vic
torious In all recent, contests, and
that, fact may cause many to forget
the necessity of perpetuating and
keeping together the Democratic
jiarty. In national polities we have
almost despaired of ever reaping any
benefit from our votes for the nom
noe, but there is a principle involved
which should teach us tliat safety in
our State Governments must be
found in the harmony of our politics.
Wo cannot afford to get up discus
sions among ourselves for local, State,
or national candidates, for in that
moment the Republican party will
tako advantage, and place in office u
man suited to their own peculiar no
tions of government.
The election of a single Republican
In Georgia will add strength to the
Radicals at the North, for they will
at once construe the victory as mean
ing that the people endorsed Grant
and his Infamous Civil Rights bill, to
say nothing of the aggressions that
have been made on the rights of all
the Southern States.
In national politics there is a great
contest going on betwern despotism
on the one hand, und liberty on the
other. With such grove issues be
fore the people, it behooves us all to
stand together in all elections. It
may weary us, und the night seem
dark and long, but by unity we will
yet see the splendor of noonday lib
erty break upon us.

Gov. Smith, in otxvllaiiw to tho
resolution or the last lietfialature,
lias appointed Dr. J. F. Bozeman
nssistant to Treasurer Jones.
When this resolution was passed
we (lid not endorse It, nor do we now
endorse, yet it does not operate
against Col. Jones. He is willing
that Dr. Bozeman hold the place.
The Doctor’s office Is up stairs, and
not with the Treasurer. He holds
under Gov. Smith the same place
Clews held under Bullock, that of
bond agent of Georgia. The busi
ness Involved In the question of
bonds Is alone sufficient for one man,
yet Col. Jones has attended to it and
been Treasurer too. Even had the
committee failed in their effort to get
up a little spiteful and uncalled for
excitement, it would have been jus
tice to the Treasurer to have either
supplied him with morp clerical aid
or a bond agent.
Tiie Treasury of Georgia is in a
good condition, and her bonds un

before the stir, and all owing to the

THE BOSTON THEATRE CASE.
In the Supreme Judicial Court of
Massachusetts, November Term,
1858, Julian U. MeCrea vs. Robert G.
Marsh Action of tort for forcibly ex
cluding the plaintiff from a theatre in
Boston, called the Howard Antho
meimi. At, the I rial 111 the Supreme
Court of Suffolk at September term.
1857, the plaintiff, who was a colored
person, introduced evidence tending
to show that lie bought, of the ile
feudant, at, the box office of the t hea
tre, a ticket of the usual size and form
of tickets of admission to places of
amusement, on which were printed
the words, "Marsh’s Juvenile Coin
medians. Family Circle. 11. (1.
Marsh.” Holding this ticket in ids
hand he went up the staircase anil
offered his ticket to the doorkeeper
in attendance, who, under the direc
tions of the defendant, refused to ad
mit him, on tlie ground of his color,
und forcibly prevented ids entrance.
The plaintiff contended, among
other things, that, “even if the de
fendant possessed the right to ex
clude tin- Iplaintiff, still, having sold
him a ticket, entitling the holder to
occupy a place In the family circle of
the Howard Athenseum and to wit
ness the juvenile commediuns from
thence during the public istrformanee
of tlio evening, tlie defendant hail, by
oontract, imparted a rigid to tlie
plaintiff for tlie time which was
claimed by the plaintiff, and, there
fore, the assault, of which the plain
tiff had introduced evidence, consti
tuted an injury and an indignity, for
which the defendant must respond in
damages.”
But Judge Abbott ruled 'that the
ticket bought by the plaintiff of the
defendant was only an executory con
tract, by which the plaintiff contrac
ted with the defendant to permit him
to enter his exhibition and occupy a
certain place therein during the per
formance, and If the defendant, be
i fore any part of said contract was ex
ecuted, and before the plaintiff had
i entered upon any portion of the place
i of exhibition to which he claimed to
be admitted, viz, the family circle
notified the plaintiff that he should
not permit him to enter, und forbade
him so to do; that, in fact, he, the de
fendant, intended not to fultll his
| contract; that the exclusion of the
I plaintiff from the place of exhibition
' and the Use of sufficient force to pro.
| vent his entrance to it, after such
j notice to him, would not. render the
I defendant liable to an action of tort;
I but that, the remedy, if there was any,
| must be by an action on theeon
| tract.”
Under this ruling and others not
muterial to the point decided by this
Court, tiie plaintiff submitted to a
! verdict for the defendant and al
leged exceptions.
] J. A. Andrew for plaintiff, H. F.
Durant, L. F. Oragin, jr., for defend
ant; Metcalf, judge,
j It was correctly ruled at the trial
that the plaintiff could not maintain
this action, and that his remedy, if
any, was by an action of contract.
We, therefore, need not express an
opinion concerning any of the other
ridings.
Assuming that tiie plaiutifT, by pur
chase of the ticket from tile defend
ant, obtained permission to enter the
family circle in the Howard Athoiue
um in his own person and occupy a
place there during the exhibition, yet
i it was “only an executory contract.”
jlt was a license legally revocable,
and was revoked before it. was in any
imrt executed. After it was revoked,
the plaintiff's attempt to enter was
unwarranted, and the defendant
rightly used the force necessary to
prevent his entry.
According to the decision in Wood
! vs. Leadbetter, 13 Meeson .V Welby,
i 338 British lliqiorts, even if 1 lie plain
i tiff had been permitted to enter tiie
, family circle, tiie defendant might
I have ordered him to leave it at any
time during tiie exhibition, and upon
; nis rerusai, imgnr, nave removed mm.
using no unnecessary force. Tiie dec
trine of revocable licenses was then
t horoughly discussed ami the author
ities analyzed by Mr. Baron Alder
son. The cast' of Taylor vs. Waters,
7 Taunt. 374, and 2 Marsh 531, was
overruled.
The plaintiff is doubtless entitled
to recover, in an action of contract,
i the money irnid by him for the tick
ets, and all legal damages which he
sustained by the breach of the con
tract implied by the sale and delivery
of tiie tickets.
Exceptions overruled.
Judgment against a theatre Ex
cluded by reason of color.
A ease against a theatre has been
recently tried in Mississippi, Donnell
vs. State, 48 Miss. Reports, p. tui],
where the court gave judgment
against the theatre because it exclu
ded a colored man by reason of his
color. But the court admitted that
if the reason had been for anything
else than color, it would have been
decided otherwise.

The Sontlwrn WitU hinnii says;
We announce with profound regret
tiie death of Gen. Thomas F. Ander
son, of Hunks county, which occurred
recently, us we learn. Gen. Ander
son was a remarkable man. Born tiie
year after the declaration of Ameri
can indojiendence, lie was in his nine
ty-eighth year when he died. He took
an active part in tiie war of 1812, and
was a member of both branches of,
the Legislature at various times, and
always a leading man in the county I
of his residence. He was brave and
generous to a fault, and retained his
faculties iri a most wonderful degree.
The lust time we saw him about a
year ago—he was unusually active,
both mentally and physically, for a
mail of his years not appearing then
to be more than seventy-live. The
deceased was a native of Burke coun
ty, N. (’., and came to this .Stale when
quite young, and was the architect of
his own fortune.

Washington, March 2<>. No ac

Justice or any other branch of the
Government for some lime, and it is
now believed that nothing further
will be heard of them until the be
ginning of the political campaign in

is possible, then, that the outrage
mill will he put in operation for po
