The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-01-25

SECTION OF this country. people noted as we'll
IL courage and determination. we would
h hsst mac constant wars. We would have
oeeR taxed into a condition of pow
SrIy which the people could not
have horne. What is the spectacle
now We have an harmonious union, beue-
do0 y, IN gu us results upon more than eO0O,
~ OF people. and the very men who at
tempted TO separate this country into two in
dependent governments are actually combin-
ing Ior ITS welfare, and taking an even and
patIlotlo part in Its councils, diseharging
NltneVen lmpartiality its public functions,
ana with even devotion its military duties.
no other people can point, in its history, to
SGcn an instance of magI animity on the part
OF the government. 1t could only be possible
where the powers of the government flow
from the sovereignty Of the people.
HE FIRED ON THE FLAG.
suppose the people of Poland, with far
greater reason, had attempted to throw of
the RUSSIAN yoke, and establish an independ-
ant sovereignty, what would have been the
result OF the defeat? Their leaders would
nave died under the Russian knout or expi-
dted their lives in the quicksilver mines of
siberia. N@ Vict1s is the maxim under the
monarchic or despotic governments where
people revolt and are defeated; but here we
witness in this great government, which
we tried to oyerturn, and in its court, the OBJ
lect lesson that the marshal and the district
attorney were gallant confederate soldiers,
and the judge himself had the tmpudence to
Hre on the nag OF his country from the out
works OF two Of the cities in which he now
holds his courts. Certainly ssuch a govern
ment, so magnanimous, with such laws, de-
serves the full. free and unreserved support
OF all OF ITS people, and as have said, IL has
had the support Of the lurieS and the grand
luries OF this court, and l do not DOUBT it will
have your support.
At the conclusion of the charge the
grand jury retired to consider a number
of criminal cases which were brought be-
fore 1t by the district attorney Maj. W..
I. Geary.
AN OLD SUIT DECIDED.
After some argument a final decree was
taken in the suit of Boykin, Conner 81
Co, of Baltimore, against w. B. Folks Il
Co., of Ware county.
This case is one of the Oldest on the
docket. IT was brought to recover for a
lot-of fertilizers shipped to the defendants
IN 1882. about twelve years ago. The suit
was not filed, however, until 1885, and on
account of the death of MIR. w b. Folks,
one of the partners in the defendant com
pany, and Tor other causes, has been de-
layed until now.
A decree was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff company, however, for $500 80
the amount of the bill in 1852, on which
interest must be paid from November of
that year. The decree is rendered against
q. b. Folks, the surviving partner.
CENTRAL RAILROAD INTERvENTIoNs.
Mr.. A. Minis, attorney for the Brush
Electric Light aud Power Company, filed
a petition to amend the bill of exceptions
to the masters report in their interven-
tion asking for the amount of a bill for
the use.of arc lights in the latter part of
1891 and the beginning OF 1892. The petit
tion was granted, which will allow the
bill to be amended and the exceptions to
be reinstatedr
A final decree has been taken in the
case of the Intervention of A. NJ. Street
and others. The masters report, award
ing Street a, 13S So and about forty other
complainant'sS sums amounting all the
way from $40 to $500 against the receivers
of the Savannah and Western railroad,
Messrs. Conner and Lowry, was sustained
and the awards made accordingly. The
receivers of that road were also required
to pay for some crosstles used on it in
making repairs.
There is great deal Of important bust
ness now before the court, and the
chances are that it will be in session for
at least three weeks and perhaps for a
month. Cases have been assigned on the
docket up to the latter part OF the third
week, and there are still others for
which no disposition has yet been pro-
vided.
