Digest oi Opinions of the Su preme Court January Term, 1S79. 1 (Eeponed for the NeWa by R. T. uray. At torney at Law.) SiiiTn, C.J, O'llara vs. Powell; from Edgecombe. Whe e the County Canvassers of Edgecombe rejected certain precinct returns of the votes cast in a Congress ional election, and made and sent an abstract of others to the Secreta ry of State which, with other returns from other counties of the Second Dis tret, were afierward pattsed upon by the State Board of Canvasseis and a oom mission was issued to the parson who appeared from the returns to be elect ed: Held, that a writ of mandamus will not be ordered to it-sue compelling such Board of County Canvassers to reassemble, revise and recount the returns including those re jected. The matter has passed beyond the point at which a judicial order could change or affect the result. The proper remedy to try the title to an office ia the writ of quo warranto and for that remedy the writ of 'nandamut is a very inautrioient substitute. Amanr- dafans wiH 'mot itse when it wiliS'fco vain or fruitless or cannot have a bene fieial effect or when the court sees that it will ultimately fail, or if it is sought merely to obtain the opinion of the court on a point of law. Ssiith, C.J: Hunpsouvs Simpson, from Union. Where a judgment was obtained against, a guai di i.. and his sureties on his guardiau bond, and he afterwards received his discharge iu bankruptcy, Held, such discharge does not ope- rate to release the principal from the liability of the judgment, it being for a debt owing by him in a fiduciary capac ity aid expressly excepted in the Bankruptcy act. The sureties, how- i i . . , . i ever are reieaseu, iney Deing only L'uur.'iit TB of the fidelity of the guar di.ui. Smith. ( J: II a woo Ex. vs. llaywojjjEx., from Y ake, judgment reversed. Held, whe e a decree is made for the sale of land by an executor, the act, Battle's Uevisal, chap. 45, sic. 68, whether the words are or not manda tory, manifestly contemp'ates tha ex-ercit-e cf the judgment of the court, granting the lxeu e, as to the manner, terms and conditions of the sale, and the embo Ijitig of the instructions iu the order of sale aud not that they should be left to the uncontrolled dis cretion of tho representative or com missioner appointed and authorized to ur:ke the sale. To this end the court shou d have sought for information, enter by a reference or by the exam- inatiou of witnesses. Without this the court could not act intell gentiy and so frame Us decu o as to make the execu tion of it "most advantageous" to th ;s in'erestcd in the estate. Smi nr, C. .1 : Swa:ne vs MeRae, from Bi-uuswick, ju lament affirmed. Held, the office of the writ of mand amus is simply to impose upon an of ficial the execution of a neglected duty atlectiog the interest or rights of the peison applying for it. It cannot be extended to reach conflicting claims to an office and thus usurp the place of that special and ample remedy (quo '"nrranto) which the law prescribes tor adjusting and tleniu.i..;.a.-. ASIIE, J. State rs Jones, from Edgecombe, judgment affirmed. Held. Where a juror was challenged by the State after he had been passed to the prisoner, it was not error in hi9 Ilonnr to allow it. The juror, having statwd tbat he had formed and expressed the cpinion that the prisoner was not guilty, was not an impartial juror, aud without challenge by the State, it waa the riht and duty of his Honor to staud aside such a juror at any t me before he was sworn. tltli also. That declarations oi a third party tending to connect himself with the homicide was properly rejec ted, it being but hearsay evidence and not disproving the defendant's guilt. Held, further. That where the in dictment charged that the deceased died on the 26th of December 187S, when'.it should have beenl877,the defect is expressly cured by the act of 1811. Ashe. J. Sate vs Burns, from Wake. Where an indictment, under the act of 1873-74 for a sale by a tenant of cot ton to which his landlord had a right, does not charge that the lien was in force at the time of the sale or state the person to whom it was sold, the judg ment will be arrested for such defect in the bill. By Asuk, J. Williamson vs. Buck et al, from Wake, judgment reversed. Where the jude, to whom the mat, ters of law aud facts were referred, found, "that :he hcree died while detained by thj defendants, who, being wrong doers, are pritivt facie liable to tha plaiu tiff for the valuo or loss occasioned by its taking aud detention, and that the burden was on them to prove the cause of tho death or to show that it was in no degree attributable to their negligence, nor to the fact that they had taken and wero detaining it; and that the defendants bad not shown this, ou the contrary that th death of the horse was occasioned by his removal out of the possession of tue plaintiff, in the country, into the possession of the defendants, in tewu, aud being kept iu town, and by the uses to which it was put and the manner in which it was treated and managed," and also found that the horse was worth $125; Ildd. The tiudini. is too general or indefinite to warrant the conclusion his Honor drew from them. They are not sufii cient to raise a legal inference of negli gence. Negligence is a mixed question of law and facts. The tindin? of t.he fcts is a question for the jury, or the court iu a case like this, aud is conclusive, but whether when found, they consti tute a case ot negligence is a question of law for the court and reviewable. Ashe, J. Earle A Co., vs. Hardie; from Cum berland. Where a judgment was ob'amed in 1809. on a debt contracted in Novem ber 1867, and execution was issued thereon under which a homestead and personal property exemption was laid off to the judgment debtor, in pursu ance of sec. 1 and 2, art. 10 of the Con stitution of lhC8, Held, that a writ of mandamus will be ordered to issue to a defendant sheriff compelling him to levy upon and sell so much of the per sonal property of the defendant as is in excess of $500 and if there be no such excess, then to levy upon and sell such real estate owned by the defendant in the judgment at the time of the judgment and not laid off to him as required in the act of Feb. 28th, 1867. The debt being coutraoted after said act of 1867, the real estate exemption allowed by that act is not unconstitu tional, but it must have been sat apart as that act directs. As against that debt, the provisions of sec 3, art 10 of the constitution of 1863 are void un der the decision of Edwards vs. Kear- sey in the Sup -erne court of the United States. But sec. 1 of sa'.d article is not void as agair-t the debt, ioasmuch as by the said act of Februaiy 1867, after which the debt ' "as.contracted, the ex emption of personal property wa? more than $5C0 in ral te, ard the creditor was apprised of the fact that the law allowed such exemptions when the debt was contracted. Dillard, J. Pntchard vs, Askew ; from Hertford. Where land was jjold by a Commis sioner of this Court and the owner was prevented from attending the sale and biddihg for the land, without default of his own,and a fair attendance of bidders was also wanting, and he offers a. se cured advance bid of ten per cent. Held, that this Court will order a resaie to the end that the owner of the land may have the benefit of the excess which may result from another sale under more favorable circumstances and bet ter odmpetition of bidders. Dillard, J. Skinner vs, Badham ; from Chowan. Where a transcript sent to this Court on a former certoriari shows no entry of appeal on the record, no notice of appeal and no bond and no affidavits accompanying it showing that any ap peal was taken, this Court will not grant another writ of certiorari but will dismiss the appeal on motion. Dillard, J, Capel et. al. vs. Peebles et. al. from Northampton, appeal dismissed. Held, an appeal lies only "from an order, or deternrnat'on of a judge upon, or involving, a matter of law or leral inference, which affecs a substantial right claimed iu any action or proceed in?, or which in effect determines the action and prevents a judgment, from which an appeal might be taken, or disco itinuea tho action, or gran's or refuses a new trial." It does not lio from the refusal of the judge to give a judgment the effect of which left tha cae in the same conditio. i in which it was before the motion was heard. Dillard, J. State vs Byers, from Guilford, venire de novo. Held. It was error in his Honor to charge the jury, that if, in view of all the evideuce, they should be ieve and find that the defendant, in allegir-g an alibi, was guihy of falsehood aud mis representation as to his whereab juts, such falsehood might be corsiJ.-red additional evidence, of lm guilt. He should have tol l tho ju-y what fact3 constituted the defence of (lib. and exj.'aiard th' law arising on the facts a? tin y nrght find them. The jury could not be expected to respond to the plea of not guilty with any intelligent view of the law cr the defecdmts rights under th'. law, or thiir duty as jaroi-, ad it would hot be surprising if their veidiet, by reason of the omission of the judge, fhould have been against the defend int whe'i otherwise it might have been i i his favor.

Our friend W C Stronach, has topped the climax in this article. He has pi iced his counter one of L3wis' patented stoves and keeps a constaut supply of hot water, cut loaf sugar, cups and spools, so that the weary have noth ing to do but to make and drink a nice cop of tea. We were in yesterday morning but a short time and think at least fifty were served during our stay. This is a great convenience, as it not only enables those wishing to buy to tst and try, but it is a gretit conven ience to those coming in early who re quire a stimulant and do not wish to visit a barroom. Call and try a cup of his Olong, Imperial, Green or En glish Breakfast. He will be glad to see you and you will not regret that you went. Tiie Longevity of Quakers. iaterestinq figures showing how MUCH LONGER THEY LI VB THAN OTHER PEOPLE . Pall Mall Gazette. The question of the greater longevity Of the members of the Societv of Friend 8 than that of the population in which they are placed is of considera ble interest, and the citation of some figures throwing additional light on it. may be useful. In addition to the an nual tabular statements of the incom ing by birth and outgoings by death, valuable facts may be gathered from the working of the assurance company wuich exists for assuring the lives of r nends and those connected with them A short time ago an elaborate table was drawn up from all available sour f .a i i ces, irom wnicn tne deduction was made that the mean future lifetime (or expectation of life) at birth was in the case of a male Fr.end about 45.32 years, the mean a uong the general pu Die being 40 30. In the case of fe maies me amerence was noc quite so large that of the Friend being 45.72, acd of the general public 42.16. But the average life of the Quaker is about mat of the mean valueU haying varied in recent years from stlgtiny over"" "51 years to 58 years. A summary and analysis of the age at death of members who have died for more than 30 years show that out of y-id deaths tnere were loo ot persons under the age of 30 at death, 224 of persons who died between 30 and 63, 517 whose decease occurred between the ages of 60 and 90, and 39 who died at the age of 90 or above, 3 being re puted centenarians. All attainable facts prov that there is a greater long evify among the Quakers than other persons, but there is room for very g'eat speculation as to its causes and as to the probabilities of its continu ance. It is far from generally known that the decline in numbers in the Society of Frieuds has for many years arrrested, aud a comparatively rapid rata of growth 'has been expsrienced experienced, lu lboi tlie nuinoer ot members in Great liritan was 13,755 aud lor soma years tue number was ii t increased by more than half dozen or so yearly, and that even was au improve meat on the decrease that had bv:en known for some years pre viously.

This bastard attempt at a 4 'compromise" is elsow hare described . in full in these columns, and has received instant and utter condemnation in Republican cir eles.as, mv-.n it termi have been made kuowu. ror tnis reason iue ru mors of its acceptance by the President are characterized s inci edible; but it appears from the manner and talk of the Democratic leaders that they havo much better assurance of final success in their efforts to abrogate all law against fraud in our national elec tions than they had a few days ago. The rumor receives further inciden tal or circumstantial confirmation in the fact that Senator Lamar and other prominent misnamed conservative leaders of the ever-to-be-regretted pe riod of bogus Concidiation have been frequent visitors at the Executive Man sion lately. Of course the assupmtion that their business in those visits rela ted to political questions is based upon a simple surmise; but the political at mosphere is in such an excited condi tion that it is sufficient to crsat doubt. The assumption is, ia turn, con firmed by a story th&t President Hayes, Secretary Evarts, Senator Bay ard, and Representative Springer have been nominated in consultation lately regarding the threatened dead-lock between Congress and the Executive, the re :ult of which has been Mr. Sprin ger's modification of the Democratic caucus proposition. This story is flatly contradicted by certain friends of the Administration a contradiction which every true Republican will ardently hope to see sustained. Tilden's Candidacy. Philadelphia Times. Conversation with Democratio mem bers of the Legislature on the subject of Presidency develops the well sus pected fact that Mr. Tilden already ha3 .-1 a s .a J1 a' sucstantiai control ot tne aeiegation from Pennsylvania in the next Nation al Convention. Many gentlemen " of prorniuence in the party lament this p tuation of affairs in the candor of a confidential interview express their decided preferences for other suggest ed candidate:, but with one voice they assett that the popular feeling in the carty is in favor of Mr. Tilden so de sidedly that it is out of the question to mako a successful movement for any cno elss. I have received within the last three or four weeks the views at length of probably twenty intelligent and influential Democrats in both branches of the Legislature and your rentiers will doubtie s be interested to L.ok over the mmonn !a of these interviews.

Hugo de Koppenfels writes fiom Eloby, Uorisco Bay, a little to the north of the French Gaboon colony, that he has been exploring the oountry during several weeks of pouriDg rain. He ascended the Muni, the Nova, the Balinji and the Tambuni to the first falls. In the Crystal mountains he foil ia with tribes absolutely unknown up to the present, or who at least had not been seen by whites, with rare excep tion the Elemo, the Manga, the Otou lo and the Toko. Tlieae people are scattered in the middle of the Fans or Pahonins and the Osszeba, but speak languages different from those or the two latter. The idioms have much re semblance to that of the tihekiaui aad the BaliDji, These people, M. Koppenfels tells us, are very mou'eumve; they regarded him as a curious animal and had a oertain fear of him. They tried to render him service, and were mucli less importu nate in their mendicity: than the other negroes of that coast. When he asked them to accompany him into the inte rior, they agreed with a certain enthu siasm, assuring him that the people he would meet with were not wicked. They are frightfully poor and muoh weaker than the Osszebas. They ars obliged to give up planting on account of the ravages of elephants and gonla as, which are very numerous and daring. Not a single night passed, Mt Koppenfels states, that be did uoft hear theso animals ravaging around tho vil lages, which are, for the most part, very large. As soon as the animals are known to be near, the whole village is on foot endiavoring to frighten them away by shooting. In these nocturnal eipeditions, in which the explorer took part, he noticed that the head-man of tha village ad dressed a speech to th3 elephants, and that in this speech his own name was pronouuead. He was told that the ele- 1 ... .... 1 . . Iw U ,J ., . J over to hiua, and that if thjy did not fly at once they would be visited on the morrow aud tlie white maa would kill them. If Ihe elephant seizes a plant with its trunk, the people immediately raise a dreadi'ul, plaintive howling, and the princip.il orator addresses, in a lamentable voice, supplications to the enormous brute. The Era oi" l'retty s ouieit in Loudou. From the Woild. A good friend of mine declare 1 tha other niyht that ho did not believe the state of moials in fashionable' life was ever so slew as it is to-day. We have now entered upon the ''pretty-woman'' era, money itslf being less sought after than beauty. If a man chances to have a pretty wife, all doors are open to him he can go anywhere, although, to be Br -e, he does not count for much when he does go. There are ab iut half a dozen beau ties now in London already to begin the season marred beauties, mind you, for bread and butter misses are no longer in fashion. The pretty mariied wo men are ever so much more piquant. The knowing people who waDt to form a set of acquaintance in the exclusive circle, get these pretty ladies to tlieir J -o -- "urn noon follow. Of course stories get about how can one help that? People will talk, and a page of your paper would not contain all the scandalous tittle tattle that goes from one house to another. A pretty, weman mania in a communty is sure to be at tended with disadvantages of that kind. But who cares? Not the pretty women apparently. Not their husbands; ins keynote of the season has bsen struck, and it is a popular one. Ask all the good looking young mars ried women whom you can scrape ac quaintance with to your house. Get six of them to dinner on one evening. Let them be dressed in the height of the mode, which is rather low. Ask a few of your male friends (all to the best ton, be it well understood) to drop in after dinner. They will drop in fast enough. The word will soon reach far and wide that your parties are the best in London, and half tne aristocracy will be begging for your invitations. Tiie Latest Phase oi the Decora tion Rage.

Velvets, stuffs and silks of the last oentury, old tapestry, etc., are worth their weight in . . i a a r l 1 sil ve , ana are oecome quite lasniou able ; it is found that dark dresses look well and gain brilliancy, or stand out well, as I believe artists say, on the c round of the rooms thus adorned.
