tain penalties and conditions.

'The resolution of Mr. Payne was made the
special order for Wednesday j it was in relation
to the suspension ol operations on the main trunk

a measure of much moment.

The following bill in relation to the banks of
this Slate, it will be seen, has lieen introduced
simultaneously into Itolh Houaesoflhc I.egisl#-
urc.
Mr. Glascock introduced in the House, and
Mr. Jordan, in the Henate, the following bill.
A lull to he entitled an act to regulate the emis
sion of the paper ol Banks under certam cir
cumstances. and to compel the resnoipiion of
specie payments within a given time under cer
tain penalties and conditions.
Whereas some pf the banks of tills state have
suspended specie payments without any apparent
overruling cause, and it is seriously leared that
olbers will follow the evil example, and that sonic
banks under suspension (for the purpose of profit
to the stockholders,) will increase the issues ol
their paper, and engage in and encourage wild
speculations, and thereby retard the period of re
sumption, or place themselves in a position again
to he obliged to yield to the first panic that en
sues, and subject the country to periodical revul
sion*; for remedy whereof,
He it eii'icled In/ the Senate and Haute of
Representatives of the State of Georgia in gener
al assembly met and it is hereby mac ed by the
authority nf the same, That from and after the
passing of this act. any hank which has suspend
ed, or shall hereafter suspend specie payments ot
its notes, or which does not promptly and on de
mand pay gold or sil-er for its notes, and which
shall then have in circulation an amount ol notes
more than equal to two thirds the amount ol its
capital slock actually paid in, shall discontinue
any further emission of its miles or paper until tin
amount so in circulation shall have been rolled
in, and reduced to nn amount not expending two
thirds of its capital stock actually paid in—and
thereafter shall not, until such bunk slmll have
in full resumed the payment promptly on demand
in gold or silver of its notes, circulate, issue, emit,
or pay out its notes to un amount exceeding the
rate aforesaid—and any hank violating the pro
visions of this section shall forfeit the sum of one
thousand dollars.
2. And he it further enacted. That from and
after the passing of this net, no Bank which has
in circulation a less amount of notes than tin
rate aforesaid, which has now suspended speck
payments, or shall hereafter refuse to pay prompt
ly on demand gold or silver fur its notes, shall
circulate, emit, ot pay out its miles during such
suspension of such Bank lo an amount exceeding
Ihe above proportion or rule, under n penalty o
one thousand dollars.
3. And he it farther enacted, That it shall be
the duly of every bank in this slate, which is now
or slmll be in a slate of susjierision of specie pay
ments, to publish once a month, at its own ex
pense, in a gazette at or near the place of its Inca
lion, and in one of the gazelles of the town ol
Mi Hedge vile, a succinct but clear and lull state
ment, on oath, of Us specie and other means, ami
ol its notes in circulation, and other liabilities.
4. And he it further enacted. That during tin
suspension of specie payments by any Bunk in
this State, such Bank shall not require of any
one now indebted by note lo it, a reduction ol
such indebtedness beyond the rale of twenty-five
per cent, per annum on the debt due.
3. And he it further enacted. That no Bank
in Ibis Slate after he day of next,
shall nn any account suspend specie payments, or
refuse the payment of its notes in gold or silver
under the penalty of a forfeiture of its charter,
and for a violation of the provisions of this section,
it shall be ami is hereby made the duly of his
Excellency, the Governor, upon the necessary
information, forthwith lo take the legal slops to
enforce the same, unless he shall in his judgment
think proper on the then condition of commercial
and monetary affairs to ex end the operation of
this act to u period not longer than the first day
of December, 1840. which he is hereby authorized
and empowered lo do by Proclamation.
6. And he it further enacted. That from and
after the passing of this act, and until the ufure
said day of the act entitled un act to re
gulate the intercourse between banks and private
individuals, so ns to subject bunks to the payment
ut damages if they refuse or fail to pay specie
when demanded under certain circumstances,
passed 241 h Dec., 1832, lie and ihe same is here
by suspended, anil declared inoperatite until the
said day of and nn longer, provided that
Moiling herein contained shall prevent a recovery
of damages on all suits now instituted and pend
ing in any of (lie courts of law or equity in this
Stale, under the said m-t of December, 1832.
7. And he it further enacted, That from and
after the day nf it shall be the duly of the
cashier of every Bank of this Stale, on 1 lie pre
sentation of any bank note or notes at the bank
where the same are payable, to endorse thereon
the words following lo wit: “Payment refused,"
and subscribes his name thereto, with the day of
the month and year; and on all suits instituted on
such note or notes, such endorsements shall be
considered us conclusive evidence of demand and
refusal, and sufficient lo entitle nny holder to a
recovery on the same, upon proof of the hand
writing of such cashier, and on refusal ot Ihe
cashier to make the endorsement aforesaid, he
shall forleit the sum of dollars, on every note
presented.
8. And he it further enacted. That the fines
and penalties imposed Ivy this act not otherwise
provided for. shall be recoverable on the criminal
or civil side of the court, nt the option of the
prosecutor, one half of which shall be paid to the
prosecutor, mid the other half to the Inferior

covery shall take place, for county purposes, and
it shall be tbe duly of the Solicitor Genrurls of

9. And he it further enacted. That front and

of the several banks of this Slate in lltetr semi
annual reports to the Governor, to specify the ag
gregate amount due by their directors, the aggre
gate amount tine by their stock-holders, and the
aggregate amount due by individuals, without
designating their names.
10. And he It further enacted, That all laws
and parts of laws militating against this act ho
and the same are hereby repealed.
The House ordered that 210 copies of the
above bill bo printed.
Fro in Ihe Georgia Journal,
I*l oceediiigt) of the Legislature.
Our readers will find by a reference to the pro
ceedings of the Legislature, that although busi
ness is progressing rapidly in both branches, noth
ing ot man rial unponaiu-e has transpired t n
cither branch, (if we except the failure to repeal
the Free Banking Law in the Senate) although
many bil s of importance are before each body.
In the discussion, in the Senate, on the motion
to agree to Ur. Branham's bill to repeal tbe free
bunking law, some little “sparring" took place,
that was not altogether devoid of interest. The
bill having been read the third time, Mr. Springer
of > urroll rose to oppose its passage, on the
ground of the public minty of free banking. He
was followed by tbe author ol the biff (Dr.
Branham) who cont. ml at that the whole system
was one of no utility, bul rather un injury to the
people and the cuti-i cy ot the country.
! M--. Kelly, of Hou. ton, contended tor tbe svs
- lent as one that would afford not only a good
I currency, but that the security to the bill holder
was undoubted, and belter than that afforded by
the chartered banking institutions ol the country.
He also observed that the currency bad not yet
b.-en injured, and that It was time enough lo re
peal tiie law when that was the case,
i Mr. Christian, of E licit, was opposed to the
rt peal, on the ground, that great injustice would
j be done to the institution, formed in the county
of Elbert, and ready to go into operation, but
from gome cause, (which we did not distinctly
hear 0* Mr. Chriatian npokc rather low) it had
tiol yet issued any of its bills.
Mr, Uranliam observed that he did not desire
1 to do injustice to the institution about to go into
operation in Elbert county, but his object in in
troducing the bill was to effectually kill the whole
• system, every feature of which he was opposed
f to; and he had no disposition to leave it to future
legislation, being fearful that all legislation favor
able to free banking, would rather increaee the
i e> il than diminish it.
I Mr. Springer, (in rather an excited tone ) said,
t that lie would inform the Senate, that that man
i (Dr. B.) was the director of a banking institu
: tion under the old system—that he (Mr. S.) was
I opposed to the old system —that the syateni pro-
I posed in the free hanking law, was founded upon
the real estate of the country—that property in
i negroes and land was no only the basis upon
which they would bank, but that there was fur
ther security in the 25 per cent of specie, to meet
their issues when presented for redemption—he
r called upon the Senate to look at the returns of
the old banks made on the first of October, and
1 11 sen if 25 per cent of specie was in their vaults
■ to meet their issues—he tlnrefore hoprd that the
Senate would not he persuaded by Dr. Branham,
for the time he assured them would soon arrive
when the old hanking system would fail before
(lie free banks “Ike grass before the wind!!”
The Senate then adjourned. 1
The discussion was resumed on Thursday, but
circumstances prevented our attendance during
the debate. Ths hill wash si, as our readers will
perceive in the proceedings of the. Legislature in
another column of our paper. On Friday an ef
fort was made to reconsider, hut this also failed.
We regret the fate of Dr. Branham’s bill, op
posed as we are “in toto” lo the whole system as
p oposed by the act of 1838, “to authorize the
busV.ess of banking.”
Two petitions have been presented in the Sen
ate praying to “repeal the license law.” The
one, we understand, that was presented by Mr.
Porter of Greene, was a petition from the faculty
and students of the Mercer University. Mi. Por
ter observed, in presenting tins petition, that he
was totally opposed, not only to the prayer of f lie
petitioners, but to the action of the Senate upon
l otherwise than by laying it upon the table.
He merely wished to discharge a duty that he
owed to his constituents in presenting their peti
tion to the Senate. The other was presented by
'V Vincent, and was from sundry citizens of
Jackson county. Mr. Vincent was also opposed
t .the Senate’s having any other action upon the
petition limn that pursued by the body in relation
to the one presented by Mr. Porter. They were
both unanimously laid on the table lor the hal
mcc of the session.
We li.o'- will* much si-violy for .jiio, import of
the financial committee, Messrs. Berrien, Holt,
and Chappell.— We understand that it will he
printed, and ready for both Houses, onto morrow.
It is n very lengthy document, but no doubt one
of great interest.
Among the many important hills intreducedin
both Houses, there is one, introduced in the (Sen
ate by Mr. Miller ofßiehmond, “to limit the time
in which widows may apply for the assignment of
dower,” We are pleased that the able represen
tative from the county ofßiehmond has introdu
ced such a hill, and hope (hut it will pass both
Houses. Many instances are on record which
plainly show that the honest and industrious have
been imposed upon for the want of such a law.
It has our wishes for its success. Mr. Springer
has introduced a hill to divide the State into nine
Congressional Districts. Without entering into
the merits of such a hill, we think it would be bet
ter to postpone its consideration until after the
next census, which takes place the nextyear. It
is likely that Georgia will he entitled to another
representative, and for him, there will be no Con
gressional I istriet.
Mr.Tarver’s bill. Introduced in the House, on
the 12th, relative to the stay of executions, pro
vides “ that in all cases hereafter, any party,
against whom judgment shall be rendered in any
of the courts of this Slate, may enter good and
suflieient security, either in open court or in the
rleik’s office, within lour days from the adjourn
ment of the couit, for the payment of the judg
ment, as follows: one half within twelve months
and the remaining hull within two years from the
rendition of judgment. And upon such security
being given, nod all costs being paid, execution
shall not issue during the said stay. Provided,
that if such party shall lad to pay the one half at
the expiration of such stay of twelve montl s,
then, and in that case, execution shall issue
against him, her or them for the whole amount
of such judgment. When security thus given,
is deenud insufficient or insolvent, the defendant
is to give other good security, on failure of
which, execution is to be issued. This act is to
extend to all eases in justices com Is, as well as in
the Superior and Inferior courts of this state, and
to continue in force two years.”

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS^
DR W. EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.
\v hen infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should he used on the gums, to open the
pores, parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are youngcltildren ; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores >.ml healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Win. I

PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Leans’ Southing Syrup: Dear Sir—The
gieat benefit anorded to my suffering infant by
your Southing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painl'u dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is tu relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
ill we procuicd a buttle of your Syrnp; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
chi d displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in
its use, I am glad to inform y ou the child has com
pletely recovered. and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys peifeci health.
1 give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknovv lodgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.

Pills ate such, that the palpitating heart,the trem
ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind,
vanish befo.e their effects like noxious vapors be
fore the benign influence of the morning sun.—
They have long been successfully used for the cure
of intesmittents, together with fevers of the irregu

the mind becomes irritable,desponding,thoughtful,
mclancho y, and dejected, llypochondiiacism, con
sumption, dimness of sight delirium, and all other
nervous affections, these pills will produce a safe
and permanent euie.
Evans’ Camomile Pills were first introduced into
America in 1835.
EVANS’ FAMILY APERIENT PILLS are
purely vegetable, composed with the strictest pre
cision of science and of art; they never produce
