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.

["communicated.] 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 bnn! 1 °i f 5 . 1; > ub ew Hall McAlliatcr, the bril- inn t m la alor & nd orator, the learned jurist, the genial friend.
