COUMBIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1858
Death of an Editor.
We regret to learn the death on the 18th inst,,
of Samuel M. Thompson, Esq. late news and
commercial editor of the Augusta Evening De
-Bpatch. That paper of the above date announ
cing the melancholy fact says:
‘“He had been connected with the press of this
State for twenty five years, a longer period, with
perhaps one or two exceptions, than any among
the editorial corps of the State, and for the accu
racy of his commercial reports, and general effi
ciency as a writer and journalist, had acquired a
reputation seldom attained in his profession. Jn
all his relations with the fraternity, as well as in
private life, those higher qualities of fidelity, gen
erosity and kindness, were always observable.—
He ever sought to avoid offence, and to promote
the interest and happiness of those around him.”
Savannah Rank Agency at Milledgevlllc.
By reference to our advertising columns, says
the Southern Recorder it will be seen that the
Bank of Savannah lestablished an Agency at
MdlidgeVillc. As this Institution is one whose
hills and certificates of deposite are received into
the State Treasury for Tax and the es
tablishment at this Agency of this place will be
of great advantage and convenience to Tax Collec
tors and others paying money into the Treasury,
if they choose to avail themselves ol it. We un
derstand that it receives on deposite, the Bills of
all Banks of Augusta, Savannah and the Interior,
that are Bankable in Savannah or Augusta; con
sequently all persons having the bills of those
good Banks, not receivable into the Treasury, can
no doubt by depositing in this Agency, either re
ceive the Bills of the Bank of Savannah, or the
certificates of deposite of the Agency, which will
answer at the Treasury the same as the (tills of
said Bank.
The Extempore Welcome of Mr. Forsyth.
On Monday evening, when it was known that
Mr. Forsyth had arrived in the city from his mis
sion to Mexico, many of his fellow-citizens greet
ed him with a serenade, and offered him the sub
stantial welcome of the festive board. This im
promptu demonstration of their sincere esteem of
him as a gentleman and associate, was but the
more gratifying to him from the reflection of that
higher approbation which was freely shown for
his elevated career as a public servant in the re
sponsible duties of his ambassadorship. His frank
and noble promptitude, under the inspiration of
feelings that should signalize the American char
acter, in the defence of the rights of his fellow*
citizens ami the honor of his country abroad, were
frequently alluded to with admiration by his
friends in strains of eloquent commendation and
enthusiasm. Nothing was wanting to testify the
high appreciation of his friends at home for the
worth of his character and services. We trust
our citizens will take measures for a more general
expression of public respect, and at the same time
extend their welcome and hospitality to the gal
lant officers of the Plymouth, that escorted him to
our shores.— Mobile Register.
Judge Henning.
(Concluded from Yesterday.)
I have been going on the supposition that the
charges made by the Constitutionalist are true.—
But are they true? The first is that Judge Beu
ning, when made Judge, was the retained coun
sel of McDongald, the President of the Planters
and Mechanics’ Bank and a very large stockhol
der in it. This charge is true. The firm of which
Judge Benning was a member were, and had been
for a good while, the general counsel of General
McDongald.
The second charge is that Col. Seaborn Jones,
the father-in-law of Judge Benning, is a stock
holder in the Chattahoochee Bail Road and Bank
ing Company, and that a number of suits are now
pending against him some by bill-holders,some by
other creditors, to reach assets of the Bank and to
eompel him to pay up the unpaid seventy live per
centage of the stock and one heavy suit pending
against him, and the assignee of the Bank of Co
lumbus, to eompel him to account for assets of
that bank. It is true that Col. Jones is sued as
a stockholder in the Chattahoochee Rail lload &
Banking Company, holding 300 shares of the
Stock out of 20.000,the capital being §2000,000 in
shares of SIOO each, he however denying that he
is legally a stockholder at all. But this is not
the whole truth; the Bank of Columbus is the
chief creditor of the Chattahoochee Rail Road &
Banking Company. The latter company has out
between fifty and sixty thousand dollars in bills,
and of these the Bank of Columbus holds nearly
$50,000; and the Bank of Columbus has no right
to require from Col. Jones payment of any part
of the debts it holds against the Chattahoochee
Railroad and Banking Company, for it has made
with him an agreement of which tho following is
a copy:
‘•'ln consideration of a contract this day made
between the Bank of Columbus and Jones and
Benning, the Bank of Columbus agrees that said
Bank will not require from Seaborn Jones any
part of what may be recovered by the said Bank
of Columbus against the Stockholders of the
Chattahoochee Railroad A: Bankiug Company,
16 Feb’y 18-43. This is in no event to affect the
claim of the Bank of Columbus against the said
Bank and its Stockholders.
M. GRIEVE, | Committee of the
J. R. JONES, J Bank of Colamb’s
Then Col. Jones cannot bo held liable as a
Stockholder for any debts of the Chattahoo
chee Railroad & Banking Cos., except those hot
held by the Bank of Columbus. These being not
large his liability is no great matter—it being,
counting bis share at 300, as 300 to 20,000; count
ing him not a stockholder, it is nothing.
This is not all. The Bank of Columbus was
the holder of the larger proportion of the debts
against the Planters A Mechanics’ Bank of Co
lumbus, of which debts more than §IOO.OOO, were
in bills of the Bank. And it was the further
agreement with Col. Jones, that his firm was to
receive five per cent, commissions on all sums
collected on these debts except sums collected
from Gen. McDougaldfor whom the firm were
general counsel. What these commissions would
come to, in case the stockholders were made lia
ble and the money collected out of them, would
be a good round sum, as any body may see—
doubtless a sum at least equal to any which Col.
Jones could be made liable for, as a stockholder
iu the Chattahoochee Rail Road and Banking
Company.
Thus far. then, it would seem to be a small
matter to Col. Jones personally, which way the
bank cases went.
As to the heavy suit pending against Col.
Jones, and the assignee of the Bank of Columbus,
the facts are about these in brief: W hen the
Bank of Columbus failed, one ot the oldest, if not
the oldest, judgment against it, was a judgment
soon afterwards transferred to Col. Jones for
about SIO,OOO, Col. Jones called on the assignee
of the bank for payment of this judgment. Tho
assignee held a large amount of paper, say §SO-,
000 on Hall A Deßlois, a firm of Columbus, who
were insolvent. It was agreed between the as
signee and Col. Jones, that this paper should be
turned over to Col. Jones, with the right to com
promise it, but if he did so, it was to be a satisfac
tion of the judgment, even if what he got was less
than the judgment. Thcpapor was turned over
to him, and he did compromise it for about the
amount of the judgment, a little more or a little
less. The assignee has express authority to com
promise debts. Hall & Deßlois were insolvent,
and continued so until Deßlois’s death, and Hall j
still continues so. They had a friend, however, ‘
who was willing to endorsejfor them to the amount
of the judgment. He did so. And thus they !
were enabled to compromise their paper with Col.
.Jones at about the amount of the judgment. It
is obvious that this was an excellent arrangement
for the Bank, its stockholders and its creditors.—
It wasslo,ooo to them. But nevertheless, one
of tho creditors objected to it, and tiled a bill to
set it aside—a bill, which it is plain, can result in
nothing. And this is the heavy suit against Col.
Jones and the assignee.
But suppose these allegations as to Col. Jones
were true to the full extent n charged, < f what
consequence would it be. The question in the
two eases presided in by Judge Benning, were
questionsjgrowingout of the expiration ofcharteis
But neither the charter olt'ie Chattahoochee Rail
road and Banking Company, nor that of the
Bank of Columbus had, or has vet expired.
Those questions therefore were different from
the questions in the suit against Col. Jones.
The third charge, that Judge Benning was
counsel for his father-in-law in all kis cases is
true.
But the fourth, that Judge Benning, when
counsel at the bar, united with other counsel in
the defence of many other cases of the same class,
is not true. The only causes he took part in the
defence of were those he was employed in with
but one e xception, and in that, the part he took
was confined to a single question, the Statute ot
Limitations. And the cases he was employed in
were very few.
With respect to the fifth charge, all I can do is
to invite a statement of the “other facts” to which
it refers—but which it does not give.
The sixth charge is, that so intimate and no
torious was Judge Benning’s connection with the
bank cases, that it was used against his election
to the bench, and he was obliged to promise, aud
did promise not to preside in any of them in which
he icas employed as counsel,
A promise implies parties.—a promissor and
promissee. A promise is a contract, a bargain.—
Now I undertake to say that Jivdge Benning did
not make any promise or any pledge to any man
or to any men, or make any contract or bargain
with any man or any men as to whether he would
or would not if elected, preside in any case what
ever. It is most true that Judge Benning had a
position on the question of his presiding in the
bank cases, and that he made the position known
on all suitable occasions, but this position was
taken as a lawyer, not under any promise, pledge,
agreement or understanding with any man. And
that position was, as has already been stated,that
he should feel it his duty, if elected, to treat the
bank cases like any other eases that might come
before the Court, and, following the usage of the
other Judges preside in all of those cases in which
he was not of counsel, or in which no relative of
his was interested, and it is also quite true that his
occupying this position was used as an argument
against his election. It was used most industri
ously—but yet he was elected, aud that was an
endorsement of his position by the Legislature.
It is true, as said in the’ seventh and eighth
charges, that Judge Benning was respectfully re
quested uot to preside in the two cases, and that
yet he did preside in them. And I think I have
shown that in doing so he did what the law re
quired him to do. The law, whether drawn from
the Constitution, the organic act, the usage of the
Judges or the action of the Legislature in electing
him, knowing that ho would so preside.
I have gone through with this array of
charges.
There are some other charges aimed at the
Court itself, and therefore, at Judge Benning as a
member of the Court. These demand a slight
notice.
“The truth is,” says the Constitutionalist, “tha t
it”'(the decision at Macon) “is but one of a multi
tude of cases in which the solemn adjudications of
the court,upon important subjects, and titles of the
law have been disregarded and overturned.” This
is very strong language in a very grave matter. A
multitude of solemn adjudications disregarded and
overturned ! Is this true? If so, surely the Con
stitutionalist should have specified a few of these
revolutionary decisions. I think it would have
been of service to lawyers, I own it would have
been to me, for I am able to reeall but a very few
cases that have been overruled by the Court, The
case deciding that the Statute of the 32d, Henry
the VIII, as to bracery and the buying of titles
was in force, is one that I recall. But during the
time w hen the Court held tfiat statute to be in
force, it also held that the purchaser might
use the name and title of the seller in an
ejectment to recover the land. This was giving
an easy mode of evading the statute—in fact was
saying that the statute was in favor merely in
form. Now the overruling decision only said that
the statute not being iu force in substance should
not be so in form.
As for the bank case decision at Macon, there
are lawyers who think that that case upholds
more cases than it overturns —or that more of the
decisions are for than against it. But as the de
cision is not out, 1 will not undertate to say what
its effect is, in which I differ. I admit, from the
Constitutionalist, for with the air of one who
knows things infallibly, it pronounces sentence on
both dacisions and Judge before it has seen the de
cision, as though it would forestall opinion, or had
some special object to serve, that could not wait
“forty days.”
The Constitutionalist continues, “It requires
remarkable acuteness to discover what the law is
what, for instance, is a mortgage ? What words in !
a will, will create an estate tail ? And then it re- !
quires remarkable faith to act upon the presump- I
tson that it will not be changed as soon as it is !
discovered.” Here again is great vigor of state- ;
ment. I confess myself at a loss to understand
what is meant by the mortgage ‘instance.’ As to
the other instance, I ask in time, who, anywhere,
can tell what words in a will will create an estate j
tail ? From the best information I have which is
slight, this question might be equally as well asked j
in England or iu any of the States of the Union.
It does not require a great deal of learning to !
know that it is impossible aay where to reconcile
all the cases on this question. Hence legislation
has been resorted to both here aud in England,
and probably in the other States of the Union. In I
this respect Georgia is no worse off than her neigh
bors, and her parent. The evil will rapidly dis
appear under the act —it remedying all the cases
that may arise after it. But if the Supreme Court
has intentionally overruled any solemn adjudica
tion on the subject. lam not aware of it.
I think if the Constitutionalist would set to
work to hunt up the “solemn adjudications” that
have been “overturned” it would see cause to
withdraw much of its strong language.
The friends of Judge Banning, I grant, had no -
reason to expect an advocate of his cause in the
Constitutionalist, for they remember that the i
Constitutionalist wished him beaten for his office
by Judge Nesbit, even at a time when Judge Nes
bit belonged to a different party from itself, ande
when it was not the turn of that party to have th
office, and they now see that reasons have since i
come into existence that may naturally make it :
still more anxious that Judge Nesbit should beat!
him for the office iu the coming election, not far :
off: they see a son of Judge Nesbit, its Editor ;
and both he and the Judge himself members of its j
party, but they do thiuk, that they had the right
to expect of it that it would abstain from an at
tack on Judge Benniug fora decision, until it had
seen the decision, especially as Judge Benning is a
person of whom it can use this language “Judge
Benniug is a conscientious, honorable gentleman, j
and we have no doubt that before presiding in
these cases he had convinced himself of the pro
priety of the couiso he pursued:” “At the same
time we believe (and it gives us more pleasure to
make this than any other statement in this ar
ticle) that in presiding in that case he did only
what he conscientiously believed to be his right
and duty, and we dismiss unjust and ungener
ous, all the imputations of improper motive which
have been made against him ou account of his con
duct in the premises.”
!\ ould it be too much, Messrs. Editors, to ask
the papers, particularly those that have spread
charges against Judge Benning, to insert this
long article iu their columns? Perhaps it would,
I rely with confidence on their sense of justice to
do what ie right iu the matter.
JNO. A. JONES.
The Latest from Mexico.
The steamer Gen. Rusk, with dates of the Hth
from Santiago, and 12th from Indianola, arrived
at New Orleans on the 14th inst. By that arrival
the Picayune learns from the Brownsville Flag,
extra—the only paper received—that the regular
issue of the Flag has been suspended, iu conse
quence of the prevailing sickness.
In relation to Mexican affairs, the Flag has the
following :
The news we have received this week from our i
neighboring republic, though undetailed in its j
particulars, is nevertheless interesting. It seems j
that Gen. Blanco, of the Liberal army, with 1500 j
men, attacked and entered the city of Mexico, ad- i
vanciug to within one block of the capitol. Zu- ,
loaga made an imposing resistance, and lost 400
of his soldiers, besides a large number of wounded.
The loss on the part of the Liberals was compara
| tively small.
Gen. Blanco held his position for a few hours,
and afterwards retired to Tacubaya, where be re
i mained encamped till last accounts. The city
I would have been captured by the Liberals, hut
the partisans within, upon whose movements de
i pended the whole triumph, uot being previously
j advised of the intended attack, were not prepared
| to render any efficient aid. The Liberal forces
I were concentrating about the capital with a force
sufficient to render its capture inevitable,
i The whole republic, with the exception of the
capital itself, is now in possession of the Liber
als.
Gen. Eeheagaray, the sanguinary Reactionist
chief, was severely wounded in a daring attempt
i to capture the Castle of Perote with a handful of
men.
The Flag’s accounts of Blanco’s operations at
the city of Mexico differs somewhat from that of
our correspondent at Orizaba, whose letter we
published yesterday (Sunday) morning, and we are
inclined to the opinion that his account is the more
correct one.
The news from this side of the Rio Grande is
brief but interesting.
The fever, it seems, has been very severe at Ro
ma and Rio. Grande City. The deaths at Roma
include Don Gregorio Sacns, an enterprising citi
zen of Mexican origin, who was one of the first
engaged in the building up of lloma, and Mr. Hen
ry Mecklcnbur ,cr, of the firm of Stadekcr. Mcek
lenburger & Cox.
The Flag says ;
They have just had heavy frosts on the upper
Rio Grande, however, and it is hoped that the ep
idemic will disappear from that cause. The trade
at Roma is reported as quite brisk, notwithstand
ing the fever.
A letter to the Flag, dated Rio Grande City,
Nov. 6, says:
We too have had the fever here for the past
month, and I presume that near one hundred
deaths have occurred iu the mean time, among the
population of Mexican origin. Strange to say, not
ono American, either in town or ltingold barracks
has been lost in this disease, while among the
Mexicans it has been very severe.
The Flag learns that the small band of Indians
which, for a number of years, have been commit
ting murders and robberies ou both banks of
the river, have been exterminated to the last war
rior.
It will be remembered, says the Flag, that about
seventeen months ago these Indians crossed over
from Mexico, and, after killing Mr. Jaspar Glae
veek, stole a number of horses and made their es
cape back. Recently they bad been depredating
on the Mexicans, and were forced to seek safety
on this bank. This information was given to Mr.
Adolf. Glavecke, the brother of the murdered
man, who, in company with Nepomuceno Cortin
as, gathered a party of thirteen men and started
in pursuit. On arriving at the Arroyo Colorado,
] theydearned that the Indians were in the vicinity,
in force, well armed and determined to resist.—
This led the pursuers to ask for a reinforcement
from Don Nepomuceno Cabazos, an enterprising
stock raiser in the neighborhood. Instructions
were left for this auxiliary force to join the first
named gentleman at a designated point, who kept
on in pursuit. Seventeen men from Cabazos soon
joined them, and on the 30th ult., the Indians
were overtaken, and nine warriors, composing the
S whole of the adult males, were killed. The wo
-1 men and children of the tribe were broughtin and
! distributed among the different ranches. The In
j dians were overtaken fifty leagues from this place,
j and confessed that they intended joining with the
Lipans, since it was impossible for them to live lon
ger in the settlements on either side of the river.
This ends the once powerful tribe of Tampacuas,
and thus has the pursuer revenged himself for the
murder of his brother. Nene of the tribe now re
main but a few squaws with their children.
Revolution in Sonora.
Nkw York, Nov. 14.—Private letters from
Guyamas dated Oct. 10th, have been received,
speaking of a revolution there, whichconfii'ius the
Herald’s statements. They say that Captain Stone
with his surveying party, consisting of about thir
ty Americans, occupied three houses in the centre
of the town, directly between the opposing parties.
If an attack had been made on him, he would
have hoisted the American flag and fought under
it, being well armed, with plenty of ammunition,
and a brig in the harbor mounting two nine poun
ders. Lieut. Mowry was also there, ready to lend
assistance with his men. The civil war ended bv
the surrender of the authorities to the rebels, after
getting all they demanded and obtaining a guar
antee of immunity from prosecution. The rebels
reinstated the authorities. The Americans were
not attacked owing to their firm position, and de
clining to surrenber their houses to the leader of
the rebels.
Gen. IVallter’s Emigration Party.
Washington, Nov. 17.—There is not the least
probability that a clearance will be granted to
Gen. Walker’s emigrant vessel at Mobile. It is
equally believed that if the large number of per
sons now about Mobile attempt to leave, they will
be seized, unless they elude the vigilance of the
United States officials.
Wonderful Exhibition—A Living Man’s Heart Open
to Inspection—Excitement at the Medical col
lege.
The New York papers announce a wonderful
curiosity in the case of a living man with defi
ciency in the breast hone which enables the sever
al movements of the heart to be seen. It has ex
cited intense interest for several years past
throughout the cities of Europe and Britain.
The subject of the defect is aver intelligent gen
tleman, M. Groux, a native of Hamburg, twenty
eight years of age, somewhat under the average
height, and rather pale, though he appears to be
in health. He was introduced as the clinic of Hr.
Mott, who thought that the substance which oc
cupied the place of the sternum might be carti
lage. M. Groux then showed the peculiar con
formity of his chest, and gave an excellent lec- !
ture on the heart's action, demonstrating his re
marks with colored plates, an artificial heart, and I
his own body. The collar bones are not connec
ted, (neither are the ribs to their opposites,) but
there is a groove where the sternum should be;
the skin is natural. In its natural state this ;
groove is about an inch and a half wide, but it
can be distended to three inches. On looking at :
the groove a pulsatile swelling is discernable op- j
posite the third and fourth ribs : if respiration be j
suspended, it rapidly rises to an enormous extent, !
and remains full and tense until the breathing is
restored, when it soon subsides. This is the heart.
Between the clavicles there is another pulsatile
swelling, easily felt, which is the aorta, the great
artery from the heart. The dilatation and con- I
traction of the lung is also seen. In coughing !
the right lung suddenly protrudes from the chest j
through the groove, and ascends a considerable I
distance above the right clavicle into the neck.
Somebody’s desire that there might be a win
dow in the breast of all men, or Charles Lamb’s
equivalent, a pane in the stomach, is nearly realized
in this case.
At the close of his lecture, Dr. Mott proposed a
collection in Mr. Groux’s behalf, though his regu
lar fee had been paid by the faculty. Scarcely
had he said the word when the silver began to fly
into the arena from the seats of the vast amphi
theatre. Nearly all the three hundred student#
were present, and the shower of quarters greatly
jeoparded the lecturer (Mr. Mott) and his attend
ants. -
A celebrated French woman has well said
that the greatest blessing a woman can have up- !
on this earth is the continuance of the affection of
her husband after marriage.

There was a decrease in the taxable property
j of San Francisco, California, for the present fis
cal year, as compared with the last, of considera
i bly more than $4,500,000.

of merchandise on hand at the commencement of
the year been assessed, the increase would have
been shown to be about the same as the previous
year, or about eight per cent. These facts are

nac.

PICTURE ALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
nr IIE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
s lumbus, and in fact to all Georgia, that he is now
taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the “Empire State,” either by a foreign or notice ar
tist. His prices range from that much despised sum—
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United
States, yet he fears not the result of a comnarison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and purl's of tlieir own manufacture. He
prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all times.
