Lawrence County VS.. The City of
BrOOkhaven No. 1875.

Opinion of the Court By SInRALL, Gu. j.
This was a suit by the city of Brookhaven
vs.. Lawrence county, commenced in the
Circuit Court on a claim for certain taxes
alleged to be due from the county. The
claim had never been presented to the
Board of Supervisors for allowance, nor was
this alleged in the declaration There was
IL demurrer to the plea. Judgment was
rendered against the county. Held:
[. Under 1884, Code of1S71, before bring
ing suit against a county it is essential that
the claim should be presented 10 the Board
of Supervisors for allowance or rejection.
The action of the Board is not final against
the creditor; if his claim is rejected he may
then sue the county. Il --a
IL. 1t was necessary to aver in the decla-
ration that the claim had been presented to
and rejected by the Board.
H. The demurrer to the plea should have
been extended back to the declaration,

Green No. 1850.
Opinion of the Court By SIMRALL, Gu. j.

Opinion of the Court By SIMRALL, Oh. j.
This was an action of trespass by Green
a oainst plaintiffs INFERIOR.
Green leased land to one Harrison for the
year 1873. reserving as rent eight bales of
cotton to be delivered November 1st. In
The latter part of November Harrison de-
liyered the cotton to Green. Shortly after
wards the plaintiffs in error, in rude, an
orv and forcible manner, took the cotton
from Green. The trespass was attended with
circumstances ofaggravatlon. The defe ase
was that Harrison had given plaintiffs In
error deed in trust on the crop in Move M
Der Ist. 1873. to secure a debt of $1,000
Plaintiffs in error had notice OF the lease,
and Green's prior claim.
Green offered oral evidence Of the lease
which was in writing. After its introduce
ton, without objection, plaintiffs in error
moved to exclude it, which the court re-
fused to do. Subsequently other witnesses
testified as to the terms of the lease. With
out objection There was verdict for
Green. On motion for new trial, Green
entered remittitur for 1,05S and there
upon there was judgment for the residue
of the verdict--$442 co.. The questions pre-
scented were decided as follows:
/. An obj elton to evidence should be
made when the evidence is offered, other
wish the objection is regarded as waived.
Besides the introduction of the oral evidence
by cher witnesses without objection would
cue the error if the first objection had been
made seaSonably.
l. In cases of trespass, accom- panied by
circumstances OF aggravation ana oppres-
sion jury is not restricted TO the actual
damages, but may render verdict for
primitive damages. In view of all the cir
cumstances, the appellate Court cannot re-
gard this verdict as excessive. Affirmed.

The Schools of Mississippi.

The Secretary of the State Centennial
Board, appealed, few weeks since,
in circular published in these col
umns, to the Principals of the Ed
ucational Institutions of the State, for
brief historical sketches of each, with a
view to forwarding same to the Educa-
tonal Department of the International
Exhibition, thence to be transferred to
the Educational Bureau at Washington,
and to be included in publications which
the Government will hereafter make.
hit. Rev. Bishop Elder is the first to re-
spond to this circular, with brief but
very interesting sketches of the four
schools at Natchez, under his supervi-
sion. We have thought the sketches of
sufficient interest to publish them. These
schools have done and are doing a noble
work, and are justly the pride of the
denomination from whom they derive
their chief support. Especially does the
city OF Natchez deserve credit for the
liberal manner in which she sustains one
Protestant and two Catholic Orphan Asy-
lums.

Ex-GOy ernOr Seymour ON Govern
or IiIden.

1.
Mr.. Seymour am in no way en-
gagged in the work of President-making
but II at the proper time it should be ex-
pedlent to nominate Mr.. Tilden, it would
give me great pleasure to support him for
that or any other position. In the mean
time the Governor is more anxious to
succeed in his reforms than for his per-
sonal advancement. His failure in these
respects would not only be an injury to
him, but calamity to the State and ma
ton. Governor Tilden has been made
prominent by events in this State, and
by his efforts to check abuses. The peo-
pie turn eagerly toward any one who
tries to lift off the weight of taxation and
correct abuses of administration. He
has been applauded throughout the coun-
try. This has given him great pleasure.
for all men like praise. But it has
brought with it many embarrassment,
coming upon the eve of a Presidential
canvass. 1t has subjected him to the i'm.
putatlon OF working out good results for
personal purposes. This has led his DO
lltlcal opponents to thwart his measures
with view of lessening bis credit In
this they have made mistake. They
have helped more than they have hurt
him. | should be glad to see Governor
Tilden nominated, if it is done with the
good will and cordial assent of all Sec
lions of our country. do not think he
wishes to be put at the head of the ticket
by machine power, or at the expense of
the harmony of the party to which he be-
longs, nor do believe he will make a
struggle for nomination, although he
naturally desires a friendly delegation
from his own State.-New York Tribune
Interviewer.
