with all foreie on nations, the general prreva-

oladdene6 the hearts of our people and con-
firmed their attachment to their govern

our ancestors SO fifty framed and the Wis
dom and courage of their decendents SO flrm,
lv maintained to be the relic of liberty ana
iustice to successive generations. NOW,
therefore, I, Rutherford b. Hayes, President
of the United States, do appoint Thursday,
the twenty.seventh day of November IN
slant, as a day of national Thanksgiving
and PRAYER, and / earnestly recommend,
withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and labors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their re-
spectiye places of worship, there to give
thanks and praise to God for His mercy,
and to devoutly beseech their continu'
ance.
In witness thereof I have hereunto sci

On the night OF the 10Th inst. q large
mob of ruffians went to the residence
of DIR. E. II. johnson, respectable
and inoffensive citizen of Greensboro,
and very violently attacked the house
with rocks and brick-bats. DR.. john
son endured it until his patience was
exhausted, and stepped out to his store,
few PAGES distant, to get gun, when
the mob fired on him MORALLY wound
ing him. He died the next day. We
are informed that there were 10 or 20
shots fred This is one Of the foulest
deeds in the whole annals of crime,
and every effort should be made to
detect and apprehend the perpetrators
and bring them TO justice. 1t is blot
upon the good name Of our country,
and every good citizen should deter
mine to do all in his power to punish
the guilty parties, No mans life is
safe where such cowardly assassins are
permitted 10 live, who will invade the

THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY.

The ticket elected in this county is
no follows: Col. J. d. Stewart, Sena-
tor; Thos. AMcWillie, ID. M. Holings-
worth, Il. X. Atwood and j. F. Bur
nett, Representatives; Farrar Morrison,
Sheriff SamT Livingston, Circuit
Clerk; u. W. Carraway, Treasurer; B.
W. Henry, Assessor; H. G. Daniel,
Surveyor, and II. I. Hunter. Coroner
and Ranger. or the above named,
Nessrs. Hollingsworth, Atwood, and
Burnett of the Legislative ticket. and
Mr.. Carraway of the county ticket, are
Greenbackers. We do not like the re-
suit and it would be folly for us to say
that we do. We have but one member
of the lower house, where we should
have four; and lose the Treasurer, one
Of the best offices in the county; all
brought about by the apathy OF our
people. From the inception Of
the canvass to the close, it has been i'm
possible to get our people aroused and
stirred up to the necessity of q thor
ough organization. Our prominent
speakers would come for the purpose OF
addressing us, and in some cases, were
compelled to speak to empty benches
While this is true, yet it is also true
that the white people wont to the polls
and voted our ticket; but that is moi
what wins in county like ours, where
we have a large colored majority to
fight and a part of them to capture
and induce to vote with us; for it Ii
perfectly clear to any mind, where
the colored man votes solidly, as he die
last Tuesday for the Greenback ticket
tho opposition can have but small
showing. So we say, in the future,
it will be necessary for us to divide thu
the eolored vote, and this cannot b.
done by non-action; but it can be don
by work, argument, enthusiasm, ant
display.

according to their contribution towards
these expenses, the North and South

An Explanation

10 the Editor of the Comet
Believing that some of your readers may
have been misled by your editorial no'ice
~ NV poem "a Big specerlashun'' or oy
the poem itself, both of which appeared IN
vour Inst issue, I write this in order 10
elear myself of any blame which those
with whom am personally nnacquain'ed
NAV attach to me as writer,
desire to state most emphat'ca'V sha'
nothing is further from my intention vi
dasi-e than to ridicule or to troat llghtly
the Bible, any part of the Bible, or any
sacred writing.
I intended, in the poem, simply to repre-
sent. and to embody in his own Language
as far as lay in my power, the ridiculous
ideas of an imaginary foolish and ignoran'
darkey Everything that writer places
upon paper should not, by any MEANS DIT
regarded as his own sentiments, and espe
cjally is this true when comic cho'"e'e'
Sketches, like the article in question: are
considered.

tirely release me from the false position &c

Error to the Circuit Court of Rankin
county, Hon. A. G. Mayors, Judge.
Myers made affidavit before a Justice of
the Peace for a writ of seizure against
Hartsell for rent, returnable to the Circuit.
Court.
The Justice failed to signlhis name to the
jurat, and upon motion by the defendant
to dismiss the case upon that ground, the
Court allowed the Justice to sign his name
to the affidavit in open Court
Plaintiffs demand for rent was based up
on a written lease for three years, dated
October IL, 1876. By its terms defend-
ant agreed to pay $500 per annum for
three years, without specifying the day of
payment. The writ was sued ont Novem-
Der 10, 1873, upon the theory that the ront
became due October IL, of each year. 1t
was claimed by defendant that it was not
due till the end of each year, and
that the rent for 1873 was not due
when the writ was sued out. The term
of LEASE commenced January /, 1877, but
the Court refused to allow defendant TO
offer proof of that fact.
Tho property seized was not sufficient TO
pay the amount of the rent, and the Court
gave personal judgment against defend
ant for the balance
CHALMERS, j.,
.Held-
l. Under our liberal system of amend
ments of pleading and process, there was
no error in permitting the Justice of the
Peace to sign his name to the jurat in
Court.
2. 1t was erroneous in tho Court TO res
fuse to allow defendant to show by parol
testimony when bis term was TO com.
mence. The lease did not fix the date of
payment, nor did it fix the commencement
or end of the term. True, it was dated
October II, 1876, and was for three years.
but Immediately following the date are the
figures 1857, 1873, 1879" which seems TO
imply that it was for the calendar years
represented by these figures that the term
was to run. II so, it commenced on jan
uary l, 1877, and no day of payment being
specified, the rent became due at the end
Of each year.
3. II was error to give personal jude-
ment against the defendant in excess Of the
value Of the property seized The "Aqri-
cultural Lien law" has provided only for
On N rem proceeding, and when the Court
has fully distributed the property seized
and adjudged the costs, its jurisdiction I'M

WILLIAM MEYER, En- pGrte.

Appeal from the judgment of Hon. H.
G. Peytor.
The relator, having served his time in
the Penitentiary, is held there to work out
the cost of his case, at % cents per day, in
accordance with section u of the "Act to
reduce the Judiciary expenses in this State. y
Laws of 1873, PIP. 1919.
He sued out writ of hd6eds corpus,
claiming the provisions of said Act author
izing the detention of prisoners to work
out the costs of their cases is unconstitu-
tional because in violation of the prohibit
ton against imprisonment for debt.
CHALMERS, j.,
Held
LIST. The word "debt" in this connection
is not used in its widest scope as embracing
every pecuniary liability or Obligation which
may by law be devolved upon the citizen,
since it would, in such sense, forbid I'M
prisonment MS means of compelling the
payment of fines, whether imposed for con-
tempt of Judicial process or as puniah-
meut for crime.
3D. The debts which the trainers of the
Constitution had in view were those spring
ing Jrom the contracts of the party, ex
press or implied, or the liabilities which
the law imposes upon him for his tortious
acts to another.
Sd. The statute does not contemplate
that the convict shall be held for any por-
ton of the costs incurred by himself in his
defense, either those due to the officers o.
Court or to his own witnesses. 1t is only
for the costs of the prosecution that is t.
say, those incurred in issuing, executing
and obeying the process of the State, anC
the fees of the prosecuting attorney, tina
he is to be held to labor.
He will be entitled to his discharge wher
he shall have worked out the costs incurred
by the prosecution
