1 have jfom the Unites! States Digest, to page 17,
Peck’s Tennessee Heports,' that this is the con
struction given by the (Supreme Court’of that
State to their Constitution, which has a provision
similar to our own on the subject of retroactlvu
By reference to Curtis' Commentaries, it will
appear that the mischief has been correctly sta
ted.' Ho remarks: “In this connection also, we
have tot notice tho distinction between laws Im
pairing the obligation of contracts, and laws which
operate retrospectively, ,or divest vested rights,
snd vet do not impair the obligstion of n con
tract. Retrospective laws however unjustt, are
forbidden to tho States by the Constitution of the
United States only when they impair tho obliga
tion ot contracts, or in criminal cases, when they
are rr pxt facto. If they fell under neither of
Thu*, when tho Legislature of Connecticut; in
1793, passed a resolve setting ustde a decree of to
court of probates disapproving of n will, and
tnted n new binring, it win held that the red
foTvc not being against any Constitutional prlnci-
in that State was Valid, and that the wilt
pie
which was
elusive ns
tis, sec. 353. This was the ruling in the Suni
Court of 'tho United States in Calder vs. Bull, 8
Dallas, 886. Here the will had been rejected by
the court of probates, and the title of the heiis at
law established. The Legislature ordered a new
trial, which was had,and the will was established
on the second trial, which divested tho title of
property alter it uaa neen settled by
the judgment of the properfcourt. But 1 quote
flirtlieimirom the same section in Curtis. He
adds: “80 loo, there Is a clear distinction be
tween a law which operates to create a contract
between parties, where none previously existed,
and the law which impairs the obligaf
'obligation'of-a
contract. Thus when the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, after a decision of the Supremo Court
or that State, declaring that a contract between
certain persons was void, and consequently that 1
the relation of landlord and tenant did not sub
sist between them, pnssedhm act declaring con;
tracts of that nature valid, and that tho relation
between landlord and tenant should exist, and be
held elk-dual in them, the Supremo Court of the
United States held,, that a law which gavo talid-
of a feme eocert had been ramveycd'bjrtleed not
duly acknowledged by thofRtws of Pennsylvania,
anil the Legislature afterwards passed an titt
making such conveyances Valid, notwithstanding
informalitities in tiic acknowledgment of the deed:
it was said that if it were true that the act divested
the vested rights of the heirs nt taw, of the mm
to the laud, it was not on tlinl account n viola
tion of the Constitution of the United' Stales,
which prohibits, not respective ■ laws generally,
but only ex post facto laws which are penal and
criminal laws, and that so far from impairing any
contract, the ad assumed the title oftho femes
cotrrtto bo good and ought to give effect to thoii
contracts.
In tho cases of Satterlce vs. Mathcwson, Mr,
Justice 'Washington says: “Admitting the
correctness of tho decision, (of the Supremo
Court of Pennsylvania) it is not easy to perceive
how a law which gives validity to a void contract
can he said to impair the obligation of that cbn-
upon an illegal or immoral
crin existence at tho time of imssing the statutes,
or which might hereafter be entered into, should
nevertheless be binding upon the.parties; all
would admit the retrospective character of
such an enactment, and that the effects of it
was to create n contract between parties
where none had previously existed. But it
surely cannot ho contended that to create a con*
tract, and to destroy or impair one; means tin:
same thing. This doctrine is fully sustained by
Mr. Justice Story in his Commentaries on the
Constitution, chapter relative to - impairing thb
obligation of contracts.
The mischief, may it please your-Honnn, then
was, that here wna an important class of righto
... .. . - ... .. - - uhJtoj
unprotected by the Constitution of tho Ui
States, which our State Convention sought to
protect by throwing around them the same pro
tection which the Constitution gavo to tho obli
gation of contraclracts, no more, no less.
To make the matter more clear that this was
the intention, the Convention re-enacted hr the
State CoiHtitmiou the provisions of the' Consti
tution of the United Stales against ciposlfacto
laws, und laws Impairing the obligation bf-cbh
tracts, and associated thu clause now under con
sideration, in the same scntonco with them, 4b
ing that it was only intended to cover this
port&nt claw, of righto omitted by the Federal-
Constitution, and to extend totlmtclnastlicsaine
protection extended to-the others, in conclu
sion upon thin jKilnt, I simply Wish to draw the
itfon of the court to the
attention of the court to the broad'distinction
which exists in law between right. nnd remedies.
The language of’the State Constitution is “inju
riously affecting any right" not Hid remedy oraiiy
person. Estahlisli lln: otlicr coni'
construction
you forever lie the hands of tiic Legislature bo
that it. can pass nonet to vary, alter or modiry tho
remedy in any case, without, in that sense,injuri
ously affecting the right of the citizen. It could
not, upon Mint construction, change tlictimu of
holding 1 lie court*., orchangi- a rule of evidence
or provide for a contiwmnfce of a cause, or chat
the length of time for which property shall
advertised for sale, or do any other' act, that
cased a delay of a single day in thu collection of
a debt, without injuriouslytollccting the rights of
the creditor to that extent. I trust your minds
are satiatied that tho Convention Intended no
hucIj absurdity.
But it lias also tarn objected to this law that'it
violate* that provision ol our State Constitution,
- which declares: that tin: Legislature, Executive
nnd Judicial Departments shall be confined to a
separate body of magistracy and no person or
collection of 1
persons being of one department
shall exercise any power properly attached to
c-Khcr of the others, except in cases herein ex
cepted. Now if I correctly understand the po
sition taken, it is contended that this provi
sion of the State Constitution prohibits the Leg-
ithd
islaturc from posting any law acting upon I
"Tine per*

I am obliged to confess my utter inability to
see the force of tills argument. Wlmt docs the
Judgment or execution have to do with the ques
tion ? As I have ihdWn. I think conclusively, the
obligation is Inhered ill the contract from tiic
moment of its inception. And it travols with it
through ever/ stage of iu progress. Tho party
ia no more under 'Mho duty of performing Ills
legal agreement " after Judgment of execution
that he was before. The language of the Con
stitution is general, that no btato shall pass any
law impairing the obligation of contracts, It does
not say, after judgment or after retention. An
act of the is-gislafiue withholding n remedy liir
one mouth before judgment, or execution, stands
upon precisely the same ground, as an act with
holding It a month afterwards. The delay It) the
creditor in tho collection of Ills debt is exactly
the tame, the injury If uny is the same, and the

Legtotahire ? 'PBe argument carried to its legiti
mate consequences leads''to-tlds result.
The trjitU is that this whole matter of.dtsqre-
tlon, in moulding, varying, arid .modifying the
law pf the remedy, belongs 'to th^. Legislature,
au assumption of power by. thb courts to interfere.
This is admitted in' tlie case bf the statute of
limitations, and .of acts abolishing imprisonment
for debt, because both arc in accordance witli tlie
views of tho courts as to sound pohqy.' But it Is
denied by soino of the courts in case of other
variattfgLs of tho remedy, tlto policy of'which do
riot command thoir nssent. . In aword the courts
in such east! assume to exercise a YCto power,
and to make void such rciricdiitl acts of the Le
gislature, rut they do not approve; while they
snstain others ot the samo class, when. Uiey are
unable to draw any distinction sustained by
sotihd Jenson, simply, because they do approve
them. '. y
Take tlib case put by 1 Chief Justice -Taney Ini

may shorten tlie period of limitation, in case of a
pre-existing debt, and niay exempt lroin its pay*
ment necessary implements of agriculture, the
tools'of tho mechanic and articles bf necessity,
n household furniture, nnd ask why it may do
bis, and the reply Is, it has tho power to regulate
the remedy. It tho Legislature may shorten tlie
iridiof llmltatiqn whbn*
period or limitation when' applied to a pre-exist
ing debt, why may it not lengthen it.nndif Itmay
do this, why may it not, as our Legislature and

Thursday Mornlnnt; June a 1, 1860.
A Trlp to Havaunitli.
Mr. Wably, the cflleieut President of tho
Central Railroitd Company, through tho columns
of tnto paper, and othere in thq Btato, offera to
tho merchants, business men, anil citizens gener
ally, of Macon and elsewhere, tho opportunity of
visiting Savannah' nnd ronowing former riBsocin-
tlob'B with friends iti that seaport,'and to return;
the taro for tho;trip, to and fro, being only $5.
Tickets will bo sold in Macon on Monday and
Tuesday, thb 28th dad 20th InstantB, to gd to
Savannah and return by any train up to, and in-
cludiug tho one irom-that tdty Whlql
licit lyavoo on-
■Sunday evening, Hio-iat proximo. Tho-samo
privilege Mr. Wndly then extends to tlio inhab-
habitmita of Savannah, for tho Bret week in Ju
ly, to (iqablo them to visit their friends in thein-
tarior of the Btato.
This is considerate nnd generous on tho port
oftho President oftho Central Railroad. There
are very many individuals in Uto interior of our
Btatowho have friends and relatives in Savan
nah; from whom they bayo been separated for
many months, some for ye$n, who will gladly
avail themselves ol tho opportunity offered to
visit that city. Others; too, will doubtless do so
from a desire to scchow the “ Forest City" looks,
now that Uio rude blasts of war are over, and
poaoo rcignetb in the land; and others on mat
ters of commerce and trade, to renow which with
thnt clty is, dqubtloss, thq d«tlgn of many.
But'apart from all llicso considerations, wo
commend Mr, Wadly for his generous offer, con
sidering-it ns we do, a policy which, wore the’
management of tho'railroad enterprise extend
ing from our sqabowti West, m fur oven os Chi
cago, occasionally to ndopt, would odd much'to
an 1 intercourse tbat would;bo agreeable and profit-
ablH to t^o citiqs ctqbrajoed In the long Uno*r-
Why cannot w» arrangemout be nutde by whloh
during the -hot- Rummer months, the citizens of
Savannnh, Macon; Atlanta, and Chattanooga, on
soino such terms, may visit NaahviUc, Louisville,
8L Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati ? When win*
tor comes the programme nmy bo reversed; and
to the Wiboard ot Georgia, from' CbiCago. all
hnyjng business, or desirous of forming business
relations iu Georgia could rc|ialr. It is aqjolloy
that would worifto tho advantage of tho railroad
companies along theso' lohg llrics of travel, and
woifld jiriinioto ji business Intercourse aUcast,
from polnVito point, .with all the commercial
mnrta along them, that eonlil not fall to extend
the trade and commerce of each.
* -Mr. IVadly has InlUated a movement, which,
if extended, anil wo trust it will lie, will do much
to subdue that prejudice against railroad corpor
ations which exists in the minds of viiry mapy,
people. Occasional liberality extended hutbu
manner proposod, will do much towanls popu
larizing those institutions. We trust his exam
ple (ftay.be Imitated,qml 1> will in - if iherailroad
companies qf tho 8outb and West will give the
matter the consideration it merits. •
