Suit on an Old Note for a Slave.

A suit is now on trial in the United
States Court for the collection of a. note
given thirty years ago in payment for
negro slave, Emma. The suit is brought
by Judge Hugh Buchanan, of Newman,
against Judge Dennis +. Hammond,
formerly of COweta County, bat now Or
landO Fla. The note was given in 1854 and
was due on the 25th of December of that
year, and was for $3.50, 1t was given by
George W. Holland. with Dennis Ham,
mOnd and r. w. Sims as securities. The
plaintiff claims that he bought the note.
Judge Hammond claims that the giver
of the note left COweta County for Ala
bama in December 1855, and on leaving
turned oyer to the law firm, of which
Judge Buchanan was member, cOllat-
eral more than that sufficient to pay the
note; that the attorneys received the col
lateral, which was perfectly good and
solvent, and allowed the giver of the
note to move to Alabama unmOlested.
That the defendant in the suit did not
authorize this proceeding that it was in
creasing his risk, and he was thus re-
leased. The defendant also claims that
the attorneys should account for the col
laterals before they are entitled to any
Judgment against anybody. They do not
account for them at at all. Judge Buchan-
an Edenies that he had anything to do
with the taking of the collateral or the
contract connected Herewith. The case
hung in the courts befere the war.
Then Judge Hammond became Judge
and 1t hung off. Then Judge Buchanan
went on the bench, and it Is finally in
the United States Court, The interest
is two or three times as much as the
principal. The evidence is all in and
the argument is in progress. The maker
of the note is still living, The Negro
Emma, the innocent cause of all the
trouble. Is probably dead-Atlanta Con-
! stituti0n.

world that we are an Independent people
and entitled to place among the recog-
nized nations of the world, ought and
should be commemorated in a fitting
manner by all communities that enjoy
the result of that appeal to arms which
made the declaration of independence a
fixed and definite feeling of unity, the
idea of government by the people a re-
atty, and an enlightened nation standing
foremost of all the worlds states as the
final result.
That Bozeman will celebrate is an as
sured fact when such men g are on and

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

As the impression seems to prevail
that we have to elect two county COM
missioners at the ensuing November cleo
ton, we have thought best to correct it.
Under the law of 1877, it was provided
that in 1873, three county commissioners
should be chosen, the one having the
highest vote, taking the long term of six
years. the next highest four years and
the lowest two years, so that biannually
thereafter one commissioner should be
elected, and hold Office for six years, but
the act of February 10Th, 1881, amended
that law as follows: Section There
shall be elected in each of said counties,
at the general election. to be held in the
year 1882, one county commissioner. At
the general election to be held on every
fourth year thereafter, two county COM
missioners; at the general election to be
held in the year 1884, and on every fourth
year thereafter, one county commissioner,
who shall hold Office as provided in pre-
vious sections -four years.. The persons
holding the Office of county commissioner
in said counties shall proceed with the
discharge of the duties of the said Office
and shall hold the same until the close
of the terms for which they have been
elected or appointed"
The question may arise as to who goes
out of Office: That question we have not
investigated. It will be remembered
that two were elected in 1882. One to
fill the unexpired term of James E. Mar
tin, but if we remember, the ballots did
not designate who was for the unexpired
term, and the question may arise.
