MISSISSIPPI STATE TEACHER
ASSOCIATION

Will assemble, we learn, in annual
session, in this city on the End Tues
day in July. This Association, COM
posed as it is Of many Of the leading
educators Of the State, was organized
three or four years ago, has been in
strumental during its existence, in
accomplishing much good to the cause
Of education throughout the State.
| BY it the prominent and enthusiastic
| teachers in their annual meetings are
enabled to interchange views in rela-
tiOd to their profession, make the ac-
quaintance of their co-laborers, dis
cuss methods Of teaching, and through
| these instrumentalities be of mutual
benefit to each other. And if full
attendance Of this intelligent aud in
tluential portion of our people could
be induced to attend these meetings,
legislation in their and the States in
ter,sts would be vastly subserved.
There is no organization in the State
Of Mississippi at this time that has
within its range greater power
for the good of the public than the
State Teachers Association.
1t is not, as will be assumed by many
Of our readers, an organization in the
interests Of the public schools of the
State; on the contrary, its leading
and enthusiastic advocates are in the
main those who head the private and
The lie ding idea being, as we under
stand it, the promotion of education,
regardless of the fact whether that
end is to be accomplished through
State aid, or private means.
That education is the one thing
ncedful at this time to accomplish the
full fruition Of our favored land, no
Dnc OF sound mind will have the as
surancc to deny. Whether that much
iesir. Il end is to be accomplished
through State aid, or private ends is a
question of secondary Importance,
but this we can safely say, it is ques-
Jon that should command our imme-
late attention.
But we did not commence this arti-
&c with view to entering on dis
luisition on the subject of education,
nut simply to urge the Importance of
general attendance of teachers and
'thers interested in the cause of edu-
alton, at the meeting of the Associa-
ion to he in this city on the End Tues
ay in July next. 1t is presumed that
he Association will be in session for
everal days, and doubtless those
aying it in charge will endcavor to :

Attorney at Law.
APRIL TERN. 1850.
SOCIETY OF N. Y. HOSPITAL,

SOCIETY OF N. Y. HOSPITAL,
VS..
MARTHA l.. KNOX.
The question in this case is whether the
appellee is entitled to ten days notice OF
an appeal taken in term time.
GEORGE, Z. j.,
Held
1t is objected that this case cannot be
docketed for trial at this term of the Court,
but should be docketed to the October
term. The appeal was taken the l4th OF
April-less than ten days prior to the COM
mencement of this term, and it is insisted
that in such case the appeal is properly
returnable to the next succeeding term.
This is true of appeals granted after the
term at which the decree appealed from is
entered. Section 431 of the Code requires
citation to be issued and served on the APP
pelee ten days prior to the return day of the
appeal. But no citation is required when
the appeal is granted by the Court in term
time, and Mt the same term in which the
order or decree appealed from is enteredt
The appellee is presumed to be presen.
when the appeal is allowed, and is bound
to take notice of it as of every other order
entered in the cause.
The statute, Code S409, requires all APP
of the term of this Court, or the first re-
turn day fixed by order of Court next sue
ceeding the appeal. As to appeals in which
citation is required, the ten days notice re-
quired necessarily has the effect to make
the appeal returnable after the expiration
of that time. But that section can have no
operation except in the cases embraced in
it, viz: appeals granted after the term at
which the decree appealed from is en-
tered.
Should an appeal be taken so near the
commencement of the term, or the return
day fixed by order of Court, as not to allow
reasonable time for the parties to prepare
the cause for hearing, that matter would
be considered in the application either tor
continuance or for delay in calling the
case for hearing. -,
The record is ordered to be dockcted to
this term.

TIE New Orleans Times in com
menting on the nomination of Pres
idential candidate by the Democracy
has this to say in regard to Mr.. Bayard:
Many things are important in Il
Democratic Presidential candidate
worthy of the support of his party
and worthy Of such support outside of
strict party lines as would IA Ike his
success inevitable. All those many
things must be considered carefully
and without mis- axe or hallucinatiOn
if the party would fight winning bat
tie. But two things must Cspecia ~
be considered.
/. y man must be chosen who is
not - dista 5t;ul to those st ties which
are sometim,s Democrat and some
times Republican-New York, New
Jcrse:, Connecticut and Indiana, for
instance-as to load the party there
with extra weight.
> He must not be- 50 eros ly unac-
ceptable to the regularly Dem era ic
States as to make amy of them doubt
fdl. 1t hi-hly pr hab that such
nomination will Ice made, but it j.
possible AID in the pO sibility lies the
greatest danger.
Both these dangers may be avoided
by the nOmiai;ion Of any one of the
dozen gentlemen most prominently
mentioned. But we know # no d -
slblc candid t. who will avoid item
so certainly as Mr.. Bayard. In New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
there is little doubt that he would
have more strength than any other Z
Dempc at can reasonably bc exp cted T.
u have-enOugh more to make those
States certainly Drmocratic-andt that .

OF Democratic president certain.

i.ht sometime d.sgu sting; but they
do exist, and til.y have weight enough,
at least, to make a doubtful sale kick

where we were in 1861 and restore the two
thousand millions of property we lost by
the war;
We consider the statement Of the
Alabama Granger as largely tinctured with
old fogyism. Our opinion is, that in fifty
years, the South will be worth about five
times as much as she was in 1861. One
decade of prosperity, which is now prom
ised to the Souther States, will make them
twice as rich as they were at the time
mentioned. Such is the recuperative
power of this country, that when our
people once learn to raise their .own hog
and hominy, live at home and avail them
selves of the natural bounties of the soil, it
will not take them half century nor
quarter of century to get richer and
more Independent than ever
Morehead was reelected President, and
DR.. Bowman Treasurer. A Vice-President
from each of the States embraced in the
Association was elected. The President
was authorized to appoint his own Secre-
tary. The Committee on Resolutions

adopted, when the committee adjourned to

participated in by nearly all the Jackson

Error to the Circuit Court of Holmes
county, Hon. VIM. Cothran, Judge.
Defendants in error brought suit before
W. +. Cross, Mayor of the town of LeXing'
ton, against one Barger, as survivor, and
against the said Cross and another, as eX'
ecutors of one Sheppard; the defendant
and Barger having been partners in the
life time of the former. The defendants
pleaded set off in favor of Sheppard and
Barger, and when the cause came on for
trial Cross declined to sit in the cause, and
it was agreed by all the parties that one
Cochrane, another justice of the Peace in
that county, should be sent for and asked
to try the cause. Cochrane came, and with
the full consent of all parties and their
counsel, tried the cause, in the room where
Cross held his Court, and made entry of
his judgment on Cross docket. He rem
dered judgment against the plaintiffs in
that Court, and they appealed to the Circuit
Court. When the case was called for trial
in the latter Court, NJ. Levy & Co., the
plaintiffs who had instituted the suit be-
fore Cross, and who had consented that
Cochrane should try the cause, instead of
Cross, moved to have the suit dismissed,
because of the trial before Cochrane. The
Circuit Court sustained the motion. From
that Judgment, Cross and the other defend
ants sued out writ of error to this Court.
ii. S. Allen and E. f. Noel, for plaintiffs
in error.
Hooker Il Groce, for defendants in error.
GEORGE, c.. j.,
Held
1. 1t insisted in behalf of Levy e. Co.,
that their consent gave no jurisdiction to
Cochrane to try the cause; that 2l340 of the
Code OF 1871 requireda transfer Of the cause
to the nearest Justice of the Peace, Cross
being interested, and that this was the only
mode in which it could be tried. We do not
regard this position as just. The object of
the statute requiring the transfer was to
have the cause tried by an impartial and
Justice of the Peace. The
object was as well attained by the Justice
of the Peace trying the case at the place
agreed on by the parties, as in his own
court.
2. The parties were competent to make
the agreement to substitute Cochran in
lieu of Cross. Having done so and gone to
trial, they will not be heard now to say an
they have secured all the benefits of such u
transfer.
Reversed and remanded.
