STATE, USE KINDS COUNTY
W. H. HARVEY EFT. AL
Error to Circuit Court of Kinds county. Hon.
5. ). Calhoon, Judge.
This was suit against the Sheriff and his
sureties the bond mentioned in the proceed
ing case, for the use of the county to recover
county taxes collected by Harvey Many of
the questions raised in the other case were
raised in this, and disposed of in the same
way. Only one additional point is noticed in
the opinion. 1t was plead that the taxes for
the county were levied by the Board of Super
yisors, sitting at Jackson, in the first district
of the county, instead of at the courthouse. in
Raymond, the original county site, which is in
the other district
Judgment was rendered on the pleadings
in favor of the defendants below.
Held
!. 1t is true such a levy was irregular, and
sale OF property under il would have passed no
title. johnson IS Fatch, 81 Miss.
,. But It IS settled that the want of power to
collect taxes by reason of any irreguiaritv. is
not Q good defense on behalf of the collector.
IN an action for non-paymcnt of the money
actually collected, Cooley on Taxation, D.
1878
g. The sureties are also liable. The failure
Of the Sheriff to pay over the money comes
within the terms of the bond one of the con-
dltions of which is that Harvey will
promptly pay into the State and county
treasures all moneys collected, etc"

Some of Hancock's Sayings Which
Have Become Democratic Watch
words.

''The true and proper use of military
power besides defending the National honor
against foreign nations, is TO uphold the laws
and civil government, and to secure to every
person residing among us the enjoyment of
life, liberty and property"
"The right of trial by jury, the habeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom
of speech, the natural rights of persons and
the rights of property must be preserved"
"Power may destroy the forms, but not
the principles of justice. These will live in
spite even of the sword"
''The great principles of American liberty
still are the lawful inheritance of this peo-
pie and ever should be-"
Nothing can intimidate me from doing
what l believe to be honest and. right"
Arbitrary power has no existence here"

=, Error to Circuit Court Of Yazoo county, Hon.
5. S. Calhoon, Judge.
Early in 1873, Anding rented to Singleton
by parol, tract of land for that year. The
rent was four bales of cotton. In September
1878, the tenant executed to Kelly a trust deed
on his crop for supplies. etc. One bale was
paid on the rent, and the balance of the crop
was delivered to Kelly, who shipped the same,
without any demand being made therefor The
tenant failed to pay the balance of the rent
The suit was instituted before justice Of
the peace, by the executors of Anding, to re-
cover of Kelly the value of the three bales of
cotton. Judgment was entered for defendant,
whereupon plaintiffs appealed. In the Cir
cult Court the case was tried by the Judge
without jury, when the judgment was again
given for defendant
The opinion is given in full.
I'm Wooten Is. Guice, Sc Miss. 422, the three
Judges of this Court differed as TO the true
construction of the Agricultural Lien Law so
or removing a part of the crop, on which the
landlord had a lien for his rent. Chalmers
j., thought purchaser of the crop was liable
for its value, whether he had notice or not of
the lien; Simrall, G. j., thought the liability
did not exist unless the purchaser had notice;
and Campbell, j., denied that any remedy ex-
listed except that pointed out in the statute,
which could only be made effeetual by a seiz-
ure of the crop.
In this case it is shown by the evidence that
the purchaser had notice or, which is the
same thing, had reasonable ground to believe, |
that the landlords lien for rent was unpaid
when he purchased the cotton. He admits he
knew the landlord had a lien at one time on
the cotton. Knowing this he bound to
see, before he purchased it, that the lien had
been discharged. Under the opinion Of ma
jority of the judges in the above case, he was
liable. Whether l would concur with Simrall |
C. ]. in restricting the purchasers liability to
a case where he had notice. er with Chalmers
] need not be stated until the case arises in |

Ex-President Davis did not say in his tes-
umony, in New Orleans that he believed that
the Confederacy still exists. He said that the
Confederacy doesn't exist, but that to the best
of his belief the principles for which the
South struggled do exist.

Of American citizens which he meant to

message to Congress asking that body
to pass a resolution endorsing his con
duct and the principles set forth in his
