LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNTY
MONDAY JANUARY 15. 1800.
Rfe>ASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLA
TURE.
The Legislature, after a long recess, which
we hope, was spent in a manner both agreea
ble and refreshing, re-assembles to-day, to
resume the consideration of those measures
which were laid over, aud to carry into effect
that legislation which the interests of the
State demand. Having had ample opportu
nity to consult with their constituents and
advise themselves of their wishes aud opin
ions in regard to prominent measures, it is
expected that this body will now act with
the promptitude and intelligence necessary
to effect their maturity with reasonable speed -
Tlie business which was before the Legis
lature ai the time of the commencement of
the recess embraced several bills of the high
est importance. If the members consult the
necessities and wishes of the people, they
will, without any needless delay, proceed at
once to repeal the usury laws, and to leave
the rate of interest to be fixed by coutiact
between the paities. All classes of our peo
ple, aud especially the farmers, are suffering
tor money. The general system of credit
which prevailed before the war, by which in
dividual necessities were relieved without
the procurement of money on interest, has
perished from tho shocks of revolution, and
may not be revived for many years to come.
Owing to the pressing emergencies thus crea
ted, men of large property who desire to en
gage in useful enterprises, farmers who re
quire money to enable them 10 stock their
dismantled estates, to rebuild their ruined
bouses, to buy horses, farming implements,
■with many other indispensable articles, aud
to pay their hired laborers who demand week
ly or monthly payments, find insurmounta
ble obstacles iu the present usury laws.
The bupply of money in the market, and
the degree of risk incurred govern the rate
of interest asked for money ; and if any one
is to blame, then the man who borrows, the
man who solicits the loan is more to be cen
sured, if injustice is done, than be who lends
it. This State should at least have a fair
chance in the money market, and Northern
capitalists, who can employ their funds at
ten or twelve percent, at home, are not likely
to extend their philanthropy so far as to come
to Georgia to lend them out at six ! We
want capital and canuot prosper without it,
and free trade iu money alone will enable us
to obtaiu the means we require and must
have to develop even partially the resources
now suffering from a degree of stagnation
that is painful to behold. The existing law
fosters excessive usury, and under its in
fluence borrowers lie at the mercy of lenders,
who superadd to the charge lor tho ri«k in
volved in a violation of the. l»w.
The stay law, which is yet to be definitely
and finally riispoaed of, is a subject about
which the people are most deeply concerned.
The great,b$ms of their past wealth is gone,
and the most affluent men of former days arc
now left with nothing but unmarketable pro
perty to meet a load of debts aud liabilities.
Nearly every man who owes money, how
ever, has money owing to him, and the chain
of indebtedness will make the justice of a
6tay law more even handed than would at
first sight appear. Honest debtors should
have time given them by law to extricate
themselves honestly and honorably from ibeir
difficulties and pay their creditors to the
•last farthing.
We have only alluded to the most important
of those subjects which have already been in.
troduced for consideration, and should now
be disposed of first aud without delay. Many
other things of the aeopest and greatest in
terest remain to bo done, and will doubtless
receive the earnest attention of our law
makers.
porter of Jackson and his principles, and his
emincut position soon caused him to he called
upon as a leader of the Union and Slate
R glns parlv as it was then designated. He
was nominated for Senator from Chatham
county, having for his co-candidates for the
House of Representatives, W. W. Gordon,
John Millen aod Geo. Shick. Not one uow
survives!
After a warm contest the whole ticket was
elect) d by a large majority.
And now there opened a new arena for
Mr. McAllister. Amongst lawyers who have
been distinguished for eloquence at the bar,
it has been the rule that the majority failed
as legislative orators. 8uch was not the
case with him. His first effort, in the debate
on the loth Nov., 1834, on the report of the
committee on the state of the Republic, at
once stamped his reputation as an orator and
a statesman, aud he took the front rank in
an assembly which then contained in it some
of Georgia's most distinguished sons, Mc
Donald, Colquitt, Dawson, Nesbit, Dougher
ty, King and others.
While few could equal him in the force of
argument, no one could approach him in all
the graces of a finished speaker. A clear,
full and distinct voice, easy and most grace
fill gesture, aud a finely proportioned figure,
gave him material advantages wuicb add
much to the impression made by the ipsissi
ma vtrba of a speaker. Add to this a temper
whose siiaviiy was never ruffled, and a most
ten icious memory ready to yield up its stores
whenever called upon, and we will find com
bined in Mr. McAllister elements for an ora
tor aud debater such us do not often fall to
the iot of one man.
He served as Senator from Chatham in
1834, '35, '36 and ’37, with undiminished rep
utation and w ith the personal esteem of all
his political opponents.
When in the Legislature he was a promi
nent icader in establishing the Supreme Court
of the State of Georgia. The first bill for
that purpose was reported by him to the
Senate on the 29th Nov., 1834. He lived to
see the Court in successful operation before
he left his native Stale.
But the city ot Savannah owes a debt of
gratiiude for particular services rendered by
Mr. McAllister in the Senate, aided by his
able colleagues, Messrs. Gordon, Milieu and
Shick, in the House.
They have passed away, but their works
have not; nor ought the parts taken by them
in the establishment of the railroad Bystem in
Georgia b e allowed to be forgotten. Iu the
summers of 1833 aud 1834 the citizens of
Savaunah had warmly interested themselves
iu the feasibility of a connection between
Macon and Savannah, either by rail or by
canal. Railroads were then in their infancy,
and it was proposed to cut the canal from the
Ogeechee to the confluence of the Oconee
and Ocmulgee, where they form the Alala-
uiabn. In the summer of 1834 the City
Council oi Savannah, W. W. Gordon being
then Mayor, employed Col. Alfred Cruger, an
eminent engineer, to survey a route from Sa
vannah to Maeon, both for a railroad and
lor a canal. This was done, and the report
was laid before the Legislature, and this re
port, made by the authority and at the ex
pense of the city of Savannah, was the germ
of that network of railways which connected
her, before the havoc of war, with so many
MARRIED.

THE LATE MATTHEW H. MCALLIS
TER.
When, one by one, the companions of our
manhood silently take their places in the
halls of Death, it becomes the sad duty of
surviving friends to pay a tribute to depart
ed worth whenever we may properly wreath
tho laural with the cypress. Such a death
has lately occurred, of one whose memories
and associations are intimately linked with
the history of*Savannah. On the 18th of
December, 1865, there died, at San Francis
co, California, Matthew Hall McAllister, a
native of this city, and for loug years an
honored resident of it, and a prominent ac
tor in most of those measures which (inau
gurated more than thirty years ago,) led to
its rapid increase and prosperity. A short
sketch of his life is due to bis memory. It
will awaken not unpleasant recollections in
many who knew him, and will perhaps serve
as a beacon of encouragement to the younger.
Having received a classical education at
Princeton College, and having studied law
in the office of the distinguished lawyer, Ja
red Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, be entered on
the practice of tbe legal profession in this,
his native city, in the year 1822.
To the.advantages of a strong and cultivated
mind, he added those of a prepossessing ap
pearance, and a most polished address, and
he shone a bright particular star in public
and in private life.
In 1827 he was appointed by John
Qniccy Adams, then President, United States
District Attorney for. tbe State of Georgia.
This was a time when the State was every
day threatening to coniff into violent colli
sion with the general government on ac
count of the Cherokee Indians, who still re
tained possession of one-fourth of our Slate
territory.
• The selection of Mr. McAllister was due to
the late Judge Johusou. of SiSuth Carolina,
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
whose accurate judgment had marked the
rising advocate as he plead before him.
Up to the year 1834 he quietly aud suc-
eesstully followed his protession, laying broad
and deep those toundationg of legal learning
and general information, on which lie soou
alter buildup his brilliant reputatiou as aiurist
and a statesman. Iu that year for the first
time, the gauntlet of nullification was onen-
ly thrown down as Uie dividing po i„t of par
ties in the State of Qeorgia. F.erce was the
contention as to the proclamation of Uj e 0 ij
Hero of the Hermitage, issued the year be
fore, and in reality the contest was between"
Jackson aud Union on one side,and Calhouu
and nullification on the other side.
At tbe approaching session of the Legisla
ture a Senator was to be chosen for the Sen
ate ot tbe United States to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of the Hon.
John Forsyth, who, on July, 1834. had be
come Secretary of State under General Jack-
son. There was also a vacancy in the other
i-.alorship.
In times of high parly excitement, such a
contingency always adds to the activity of:
Mr. McAllister was an ardent sup- '
and such distant points.
Mr. Gordon brought into the House a bill
to orgauize a commission to use the credit
ol the Slate to obtain a loan of two millions
to build a railroad from Savannah to Macon.
This bill was lost by a large majority. The
task was thus thrown upon individual enter-
prize.
The construction of this road became a
settled purpose with the people of Savan
nah, aud they wqre warunly .condetl by the
people of Mncbi ,"prominent amongst whom
stand the names of Baber,Collins and Cowles.
Iu tbe fall of 1835, the people of Chat
ham County knowing the importance of the
crisis, again callfed upon McAllister, Gordon,
Millen aod Shick to represent them in the
General Assembly of the State of Georgia.
Strange as it may seem at this day. there
was the very bitterest opposition to tbe pro
posed railroad. The bill brought forward
was substantially the charter of the present
Central Rail Road, to which the State was
not called upon to contribute one cent in
cash of credit. After a prolonged struggle,
the bi 1, by the efficient exertions ol our rep
resentatives, passed the House,and was sent
up to the Senate, and was thrown upon the
shoulders of Mr. McAlister. Nobly did lie
bear the burdeu, triumphant was the issue.
Tue bill passed the Senate, the Central Rail
road was created.
k Mr. McAlister also took an active part in
originating the State Railroad. As Cher
okee aided Chatham, so in return Chatham
aided Chcrokep. The curious searcher into
records would find somo strange juxtarposi
tions of names amongst the ayes and nays of
those days.
Alter 1837 Mr. McAlister was never in
public life, except as Mayor of the city in
1839. }
^ In 1841 he was induced to run for the
Senate of the State, but was defeated by the
late Benjamin Snider, Esq. In 1842 the
Democratic party being in the majority in
the Legislature, did actually, in caucus, nomi
nate him lor the vacant Senatorship in the
United States Senate; but before the time
for election came on a letter wa9 received
from him declining to allow his name to co
before the party, aud the Hon. Walter Col
quitt was then elected. In 1843 he was a
candidate tor the Gubernatorial Chair against
the Hon. Geo. W. Crawford, and was de
feated. He was run much against his pri
vate wishes, for he desired to devote himself
to the education of a rising and promising
family, and it was on that account, as the
writer of this well knew at the time, that he
had declined the Senatorship. From this
time he devoted himself to that object and to
the practice of his profession. Five sons
and a daughter survive him, to attest the care
he bestowed upon them. In the practice of
his profession he fulfilled tbe early promise
which had attracted the attention of Judge
Johnson, and attained one of the highest po
sitions it the Savannah bar, which was illus
trated in his day by a Berrien, aLaw, a Charl
ton, a Gordon, a Millen. In 1860 he deter
mined to move to California, whither
his second son had gone and had suc
cessfully established himself iu legal
practice. Breaking up the associations
of fifty years, he removed his household goods
to that distant shore, and boldly struck out
to find or make a way to fortune. It was a
belief amongst many that Mr. McAllister
was but little of a student. This was a mis
take ; he was a student bnt not a plodder.
His powers.of concentration were great, and
his verbal memory was almost marvellous.
But in the intervals of work he loved aod
enjoyed rational relaxation. The character
drawn by Lord Mahon of the great Lord
Chancellor Camden is perfectly applicable
to him.
“ Oue especial characteristic of Lord Cam
den was liU gentleness of temper. With many
political opponents, he had not one personal
enemy ; and a circle of attached friends was
always the gttiner when he could allow him-
selt, as he did most willingly, intervals of
leisure and ease. He did not love labor for
its own sake, but only when .prompted by
some strong emotion, or some worthy
object.”
Success crowned him in his new sphere of
action. In 1855 he was appointed United
States Circuit Judge for California. This
position, owing to the number and diversity
of land-claims, was a most arduous one, and
it is stated that his court was kept in almost
permanent session from year to year.
The constant tension of mind prodneed its
usual effect. His health gave way, and for
the last three or four years ho was a con-,
firmed invalid, incapable of attending to
business. And thus gradually was the light
2* genius extinguished, and aoon the 18tb
■December. 1865, gently passed away the
