Appeal from the Circuit Court OF Yala-
busha county, Hon Jno. w, G. Watson,
Judge.
On the 10th day Of January 1880 the char
ter Of the town Of Coiieeville was repeal d
by the Legislature. One month thereafter
the town was reincorporated by the same
name, with substantially the same powers,
but with some cxcision Of territory and pop
ulation.
Appellee was constable OF the town prior
to the repeal Of its charter and allowances
were made to him rs such by the Mayor and
Aldermen, but the allowances were not paid
and this mandamus is brought against the
Mayor to compel him to issue warrant on
the municipal treasury for the payment Of
REALTORS claim. Under the old charter there
was no such officer, as Marshall, but the
duties of constable under the old charter
were indentical with those Of the Marshal
under the new. The allowances under the
old charter we're made TO him as marshal,
when in fact there was no sheh officer.

The Governors message.

Coy. Bates message was sent in

of the lengthiest documents of the
kind ever indited by Tennessee
governor and it covers the whole
ground. It is an unanswerable de-
Tense Of the democratic party and
an irrefutable vindication of the ac-
ton of her people in tending BOB
We adopt the CONFECTIONERY s.
correspondence as our synopsis, and
it will be found quite interesting.
There is no doubt as to the course
that will be presented. The SOB
will be speedily formulated into a
bill and made.the law, rendering to
the creditors a settlement on that
basis. We believe.they will accept it,
and there's an end ont. The Ban
ner, although never having relaxed
its sky-blue grip, says they ought
TO accept, because it is the best
they can get. 1t took the Banner
all these months to come to a rec
ognition of the inevitable. The
CITIZEN, on the very next day after
the adoption of the sos platform.
announced its acquiescence for the
very same reason that has now COM
PEELED the Banners surrender. The
BOB is the sum of the will of the peo-
pie, compromise of extremes, and
the bondholders will acquiesce only
because they can do no better. We
congratulate our people that they are
about to be liberated from the entan-
clements and discussions that have
grown out of this perplexing ques-
ton.

Cotton Receipts.

The cotton receipts still continue
heavy, both overland and to
the ports. The receips at all the
ports to February 1,according to the
figures of the New York Chronicle,
show an excess of 525,751 bales
over last year and the over
land movement an excess of 135, 042
bales, making a total over last year
of 670,793 and over the previous
season of 433,901 bales. The in
crease in the cotton yield is even
greater than the figures indicate, in
view of the fact that the bales are
exceptionally large this season, av-
eraging 400 pounds each against Ala
in ISSI-S2. The Chronicle esti-
mates the taking of the southern
cotton mills at 100000 bales as
against 125, 900 last year, and of the
northern mills at 1,125,9 2S against
1 .163,0S3 for the same time last
season. a decrease of nealry 4 per

should not be surprised when the

thing to keep a fine edge on com

sarcastic, very cutting, a vile Sian
der, in fact It's one among the
many that have been perpetrated

cut off a small slice of truth, but the
edge of its conscience is as blunt as

Macon Telegraph: Within two
years more than $10O,O0O,OO0 of
northern capital has been invested
in the southern states, and that is
now forming very lasting chain,
specially adapted to binding togeth-
er the hearts of men, by binding in
one their seeming diversified inter
ests. A new south-a manufactu-
ring kingdoln-will be the result,
and what is growing here will be
placed upon the market as manu-
featured fabric, and every profit
connected Herewith will be retained
at home. The next five years will
show a greater addition to the
wealth of the south than has any
previous twenty, and the best out
come will be wealth of harmony,
which inevitably accompanies a
union of interests.
