sealed and unsealed instruments.
3, II is always allowable to show that the
instrument sued on never was valid, either
for fraud or ilegality, or want of consider
alton, or for failure of some condition on
which the instrument was to take effect, oil
that, having been valid, from something
occurring subsequently, 1t has ceased to
be operative, wholly or partially.
A. 1t is not admissible to vary the terms
of valid written instrument by parol, but
il is allowable to attack the instrument,
and seek to overthrow ii as never valid or
having ceased to be.
g. The distinction Is between the promise
and It's observation-disclosures the obliga-
ton, and that which supports 1t. The
former cannot be altered by parol. The
latter may be. The terms of an obligation,
assumed to be valid, cannot be varied by
parol, but it may be shown by parol what
caused the party to thus oblige himself.
THAT consists with the written obligation,
and does not vary it.
@. The right to show the real considera-
ton is a qualification of the general rule OF
the inadmissibility of parol evidence to
alter the terms of written contract, ana
is as well established as the rule itself.
7, What bind myself by writing to do,
cannot be varied by parol, but l may
always show by parol what induced me to
thus bind myself, and thereby test the
question whether j was legally bound, as
the writing imports, or whether l nave
been, by any cause, wholly or partially
freed from my obligation.
Judgment sustaining demurrer to third
plea reversed demurrer oVerruled, ana

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS |
OF LEAKE COUNTY,
VS..
j. l., MCFADDEN.

Error to the Chancery Court, of Leake
county, Hon. II. b. Graham, Chancellor.
The Board of Supervisors of Leake
county made certain orders hichproposed
to establish, at the expense of the county,
n ferry over Pearl river, free to all the citi-
zens Of that county. These orders direct
ed the appropriation for this free ferry, OF
ferry franchise owned by appellee, and
for that purpose directed the Sheriff of the
county to summon an inquest to assess the
damages which appellee might sustain by
reason of the appropriation of his ferry
by the county.
Appellee sued out an injunction against
the execution of these orders of the Board
of Supervisors.
He was the owner of both banks of the
river, and has held and used the franchise
of a public ferry for thirty years. The
public road leading to his ferry on both
sides of the river has been established for
the same length of time. The Board pro-
posed to establish a free ferry at the exact
place occupied by the ferry of appellee.
oh HHai hoali ING VI InC Cusc3 Iuo iuJunc-
ton was made perpetual. From that de-
cree the Board sued out a writ of error.
G. NJ. c. Davis for plaintiff in error.
Raymond Reid for defendant in error.
GEORGE C. j.,
Held
1. We think the Chancellor did right in
enjOining the establishment of the free
ferry.
2. The appellee had enjoyed the franchise
of keeping a ferry for thirty years as his
property, without license from the Board
of Supervisors. His franchise had thus
become, by prescription, his absolute prop
erty, of which he could not be deprived
except by due course of law.
3. 1t is within the right of eminent do
main residing in the State to appropriate
this franchise to the public use, by paying
appellee the value thereof, but the power
to exercise this right has not been granted
by the Legislature to the Board of Super
visors.
4. The right of the Board to appro-
pirate this franchise is defective on
another ground, viz here is no
statute authorizing the Board of Super
visors to use the county treasure to
establish a free ferry. The power grant
ed by statute to Boards of Supervisors over
ferries is to license and regulate ferries
kept by other persons; not to establish
them at the expense of the county.
Decree affirmed.

RATIFICATION.

JACKSON, Miss, June %, 1880.
The nomination of Mr.. Hancock, the
patriot and statesman in peace, was
ratified at every patriotic tireside in
Mississippi's capital city last night,
with that cheerfulness and content
ment which makes the civilians home
an earthly Heaven. Peaceful Hope!
The nomination of Gen. Hancock, the
patriot and soldier, was ratified by the
thunder-peals of Little Moses"
whose voice always prOclaims Demo-
cratic rule and constitutional govern
ment.
The ratification of the nomination of
Hon. VIM. HI. English was like that
Of Mr.. Hancock, quiet, cheerful and
heartfelt-that kind which bespeaks
confidence without excitement.
The first Impulse was to have a
grand ratification meeting, but it was
concluded that those of us who had
aided so nobly at Cincinnati, in the
grand work of nomination, should be
permitted to take part in the Grand
Ratification when they come.

The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1880-06-26
THE NOMINATION.

The ticket is good One-cntirely
satisfactory to us-and the manner OF
its presentation by the Cincinnati
Convention, the unanimity of the del
egates, the patriotic disinterestedness
which moved them, and the happy
termination of their labors, all point
with almost an unerring augury to
success.
We congratulate the Convention and
we congratulate the country.
For certain reasons THE COMET
favored the nomination Of Senator
Bayard, but it has never found any
fault with Gen. Hancock, and never
for a moment entertained the slightest
unwillingness to accept him, or an idea
that the Convention would make a
mistake in this supremacy important
nomination.
Paramount to all personal consider
ations, the point with us, and thepoint
with the whole Democratic party was
to get the man who gave the greatest
promise of success in the election, and
the administration that is to follow it.
The choice of Hancock by this Con-
vention of intelligent and patriotic
delegates, we accept as sufficient
proof that the strongest and the best
man has been selected. This is enough.
But the fact is Hancock is really the
first choice of the South, and no other
man in the Union could inspire the
enthusiasm which he will arouse.
He is an hOnored representative of
the fathers of the Republic, his grand
father being and original signer of the
Declaration of Independence, and a
prominent actor i'm the early struggle
of the Republic.
He is a pronunced exponent of the
principle Of subordination Of the mill
tory to the civil power, and thus
brings himself en- rapport with the
true genius, of American government. |
He is the embodiment of the Con- /
sentative and National sentiment, so
long dormant, but now, happily,
coming to the surface in all sections
of the Union, and he holds in his
right hand the olive, and points with
his left to the Goddess of Liberty by
his side, who still retains in her pure
hands the symbolic Scales of Justice.
Represents to America the choice Of
peace, fraternity, Cancellation, restora-
ton, prosperity, manhood, purity Of
government, and happiness; as against
continued pickering, hostility, narrow
ness, sectionalism and corruption.
Such man ought to succeed, and
will succeed. Such a doctrine ought
To prevail, and will prevail. The
who c country yearns for it. The
people are ready for it. Hancock will
be triumphantly elected.

WHAT the Mississippi Republican
knows about GarfieId's history:

1t is not known to the public, and we
give it now for the first time, that Garfield
wrote Pinafore, music and all he inv ented
those squalling toys; he inflicted Tom
Axletree on the people of the South; he
introduced the first patent outside; the sea
serpent story is clearly traceable to him
be has invented. and put on the market
eleven hundred different pills and bitters !;
it was him, and not Mrs. OLeary's COW,
that kicked over the lamp that set Chicago
in flames. To his war record we will make
but one reference now, promising to return
to it at some future time. It appears that
during the war be secured a contract to
deliver to the Government ., 200, 600 mules.
OF course be at once set up job by which
10 rob the confding inspectors. By pur-
chasing Mexican jaekasses for six bits
apiece and putting them on stills, in order
to raise them to the height required by the
inspectors, he succeeded in passing the
whole lot, and received 81, 900 for each and
every one Of them.
