CfIUNJUK, MONDAY, DKCBMBEK . Pa. Sapremc Court. In another column will be found the remarks of Mr. Colquitt, Senator from Mtwcogee, upon the resolution requesting the resignation of Judges M.-Donald and Henning. The resolution was in troduced by Mr. Cooper of Pcriven, who support ed it in a speech of greed potter, of which the chief point was that if it were not carried, hi* constitu ents would be clamorous for the abolishment of the Court. The proposition was so reasonable, andjthe argument in support of it so overwhelming, that it might have been expected the Legislature could not withstand it. We can never forgive the Senate for the arrogance of presuming to differ with Mr. Cooper’s constituents. Hut, seriously, would it not be well for those gentlemen who are affecting so much wisdom, to condescend to shed a ray of their superabundant intelligence upon those benighted minds which accept the decision of the Supreme Court as orthodox and legal! Hint de cision is before the country —printed ill plain, un adulterated english. Why do they not attack it.’ It is open to criticism. It was published in ad vance of its order, that the people might have an opportunity to examine its foundations ; yet men, who wore supposed to he worthy of a seat in the Senate of Georgia, will allow themselves to de nounce the decision and, indirectly, the Court, without combatting a single position which it takes. “Quousque tandem abutere * rf'e. The Echo Slave Case. Columbia, S. C., November 30. The Grand Jury came into Court this morning, anti found no bill on all three indictments against the crew ofthe slaver Echo. Counsel will probably move for the discharge of the prisoners, when the question of the constitutionality of the Act will come up for argument. The United States District Attorney will endeavor to houl the prisoners. Mexico borrowin'!} Monkv. —The Washington Star says that a Mr. Maguan has arrived in that city with full powers, it is said, from President Ju arez to negotiate a loan of from five to ten millions of dollars, for the payment of which Sonora lands are to he pledged. Sonora Mata is said to be au thorized to ratify the contracts entered into by Maguan; and it is expected that the latter will shortly be recognized by the Administration as the Minister from Mexico to this Government. The Paraguay Expedition. —The Washing ton Union noticing the report, by way of England that Lopez was placing obstructions in tbe rivers, in anticipation of the visit of the United States vessels of war, says it is extremely doubtful wheth er, any impediments thrown into the river will lie aide to obstruct the running of our vessels of light draft. They may excuse more or less delay by exacting greater caution in the pilots, and per haps material will have to he removed in some in stances; but we have no belief in any very seri ous difficulties to grow out of this specie of defense- It says, in any event, the expedition will he likely to visit the capital of President Lopez, and it hopes only to procure from him all the satisfaction our Commissioner may demand. Depressed State op Shipping in England.— The Ehglish ship owners are still complaining bitterly ofthe depression of their business, which they attribute to the repeal of the navigation laws. The London Shipping Gazette says the business has not been so hard for thirty-five years. The rates of freight were as low some years ago, but then it cost much less to sail a ship, provis ions and wages being twenty-five per cent lower. Not one vessel in ten is paying its way, nor is there any prospect of an advance. At Shanghai, out of 104 vessels only fifty-four were English; and in all the ports of China and India-, foreigners were so numerous and taking freights at so low rates that it was impossible to compete with them, especially in the coasting trade and intermediate voyages. Private letters from Lieut. Mo wry state that new silver mines of great richness have been opened in Arizona, and that the gold diggings yielded well. He had secured from the Mexican authorities in Sonora, privileges of communication between Guayamas and the mining regions. The Negroes Sent to Africa by the IT. S. Ship Niagara.— The London Times has a letter from St. Vincent, Capo deYerds, stating that the Niagara put in there on the 22d Oct. It appears that of th’e 271 which the Niagara took on board at Charleston, 57 died before the ship reached the Cape de Verd Islands. Dr. Ranney, the agent, describes the condition of the- negroes as fol lows ; “They are extremely filthy, and much prefer nudity to dress. We have adopted the plan of having a large hose turned on them twice per week, with strong men at the engine. They ap pear well enough satisfied with the hath, hut can not, even by the lash, which we are compelled to employ freely, he made to observe any other sani tary or decent habit. It requires a good large crew of men to keep tbe spar deck, where they are located, clean. When clothing was put on them in Charleston, of which the negro slaves in the city contributed several dray loads, they im mediately tore it off and rolled in the sand and basked in the sun. I know but few cases in which they manifest any sympathy for one another, except to help scratch each other’s backs. They give no atten tion or sympathy whatsoever to the sick or dying. When one is dead, the body may lay there for hours among them in immediate contact, yet un noticed. Hut as soon as the soul has fled, they steal the blanket of the deceased and most uncere moniously proceed to appropriate his bread, spoon and bag. During the process of burial, they nev er manifest the slightest concern. A more stolid, brutalized, pitiable set of beings I never be held. All of them take medicine without a word of objection, yet whenever oue sickens he is almost certain to die. We found them with scurvy, diarrhma, and ophthalmia, and relieved very much of Urn former aud latter. They now have also catarrh, influenza, scurvy and chronic diar rhea. We have given them all the aid that mo ney liberally expended and directed by intelligent Christian sympathies could dictate. Hut they are a set of poor, miserable beings who will probably soon relapse into their old state. The Telegraph to Cuba. —The long talked-of project of establishing telegraphic communication between the United States and Cuba is, aceord “f to be carried £’ C *l V 4 aeu * Deputy olleetor at New York, heperintendant in this country ot the Cuban Telegraph Company, has re- instructions fro® Havanu to commence the construction of the route between Savannah and Fernamlina, and Messrs Mora Brothers and Fa vuro have placed the necessary funds at bis dis posal. The Key West Key of the Gulf, learns from Havana that the application to the Spanish Court for permission to run the submarine cable from that city to Key West, has been granted by her Catholic Majesty, solely upon the condition that both ends of the cable are to be under Spanish control; and, if otherwise, the application is to be considered rejected. If this be true, it will not be a source of regret if it proves as unsuccessful as its Atlantic cousin has done. — Augusta Dispatch. New Orleans and Liverpool Ship Losl. Boston, Dec. 2.—By an arrival at this port it is reported that the ship Alice Monroe, from Liv erpool for New Orleans, has been lost. [communicated] Glknnville, Ala., Dec., 1, ISSB. Messrs. Editors: In your weekly issue of the 22d ult., I see an article taken from the \ icks burg, (Miss.,) True Southron beaded “Interesting Scrap of History;” and as it seems to be going tbe rounds of all tbe papers, I propose to correct a few errors I find in the article. It is true, that two brothers of Oliver Cromwell fled from Eng land in 1074, to seek an asylum in the American colonies ; hut not to New Jersey. They first sail ed up the Chesapeake Bay, intending to settle in ’ the colony of Maryland. But the colonists fear ing the anger of Charles 11., who had just ascend ed the Throne, would not permit them to land, — Then it was that they determined to change the name to enable them to enter the colonies else where. The family tradition is, that the m was cut out and buried in the Chesapeake Bay. They then sailed for Boston, Mass., where they landed as ‘Crowell.’ One of the brothers remain ed in Boston, and from his branch sprang the Crowells that are to be found in New England and the North-West. One of these, John Crowell, rep resented the Cincinnati, (Ohio,) district in Con gress a few years ago. Another now commands one of the steamers plying between New York and Savannah. The other moved South and final ly settled in Halifax County, N. C. The Edward Crowell mentioned in the article as having mar ried a Miss Rabun, never came to Georgia, but lived and died in North Carolina. He was grand father to Henry Crowell my father, who came to Georgia I think about 1804. He first lived in Washington co.,butin 1820, moved to the then In dian Agency on Flint river, afterwards Crawford county, and had a plantation on the river, the on ly one of the name that ever lived on Flint river, except myself. In 1837, he moved to Fort Mitch ell on the Chattahoochee river, where he died in 1810. Col. John Crowell, brother Henry, also lived in Georgia for several years, but about 181(5 lie moved to Alabama and lived at St, Stephens and Cahawba, and was elected to Congress from this State being the first Representative from the State. In 1819, I think, he was appointed Indian Agent by President Munroe, which office he held until the Agency expired by treaty limitations under Gen. Jackson. He did Lave a magnificent residence at Fort Mitchell (which was consumed a few years ago by fire,) where he died in 1846. — As to “the peculiarity of the family”—being fond of peaceful quiet, far from political strife, of which the writer speaks, I will leave with the his torian of Georgia, Yours truly Jno. Crowell. I From the Daily Federal lmod. Speech of Mr. Colquitt. The question being a resolution to request Judges Henning and McDonald to resign. Mr. Colquitt said in substance: That he regret ted the introduction of tho resolution offered by the Sentator from Scriven, and was persuaded that had he reflected upon it he would not have presented it. It embraced two distinct proposi tions which lie would briefly consider. Ist. That the decision was not popular; 2d. That it was wrong, and therefore the Judges should resign.— With regard to the first charge in the bill of in dictment, he asked, was the popular will to be a criterion by which the Judges of the Supreme Court were to regulate their decisions ? While he regarded as highly as any one the voice of the people, expressed in. a legitimate way and through proper channels, be hail little respect for that Judge who would vary his decisions to suit the popular taste, which all knew was as fluctuating as the tides ofthe sea. He scorned the idea that Judges should bow before the despotism of public opinion, as the Juggernaut before the wheels of his master’s car, while sitting upon the rights and liberties of the people. It was an unsafe guide and would never lead the Judges to the harbor of correct judgment and proper construction of the law. But if the precedent was to be established— if the popular pulse was to be the standard of right decisions or wrong decisions, then let the Judiciary department ofthe government be super ceded by county meetings. Let its voice be heard over that of Mansfield, Holt, Story and Marshall —let tbe judiciary now seated on her mountain throne, clothed in the white robes of purity and innocence, be dragged down and made to wallow in the valley of corruption, vice and passion. If popular feeling was to be the test, try by it the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. That decision was not popular, and would meet the condemnation of the non slavehokling States —that did not make it wrong. That Court was sought now to he abolished by the abolitionists, though Southern men regarded it as the bulwark of their safety, the Mount Ararat upon which the ark ofthe covenant could rest with security. In common with others, he would de fend it in the face of opposition and would not only, like honest Ajax, throw a shield over it. but would build a wall of brass around it. He would not enlarge further upon this branch of the question. He would consider the 2d, pro position, viz: That the decision was not law— Mr. Colquitt then quoted from the Constitution to show that this part of the resolution was usurping the prerogative of the judiciary : that it was inter preting a decision and not saying what the law should be; he drew a difference between the two departments of the government and illustrated it by showing that should the Legislature pass an unconstitutional law, an act, for instance, suspend ing the benefit of habeas corpus in times of peace, the Legislature could not decide the question. If so, the Constitution ceases to be a legal, and be comes only a moral restraint upon the Legisla ture : it becomes merely advisory in its character, lie would not diseuss the question, whether the decision was right or wrong, for the reasons he had mentioned. If the Senate Chamber was to be changed to a court room to interpret the law as well as make it, he would be ready to argue the question. Then every decision which was not pal atable to the people would be the subject of dis cussion at every session of the Legislature. He would change himself the law in relation to the recent decision, but had no authority to alter the decision itself, even were it contrary to the com mon law. Mr. Colquitt then replied to the argument of the Senator faom Scriven, showing the effect of the resolution should it pass, and that it sought no remedy. He pointed out the way the Constitu tion required that Judges should be tried formal feasance in office ; he said that Judges should be impeached, if they had done wrong; he challenged an investigation and did not fear the result. Al ready the Senate hail gone so far as to entertain this resolution: their hands were stained and should the Judges be impeached iu the other branch of tbe General Assembly, and tried in the Senate, it would be found that the members had ‘formed and expressed an opinion,” and would not be impartial jurors. The resolution should never have been [introduced {here. Mr. Colquitt then alluded to tbe character of j Judges Benning and McDonald. TJie former he j had known from his boyhood—he had been lion- j oreil by the people as a worthy public servant, and in the community where he Jiveil, he was regar ded as the very soul of honesty and integrity.— J As to Judge J/eDanald, his name was as familiar as household words to the citizens of Georgia.— He had been honored with a seat in the Legisla ture; ho was elected Judge of the superior court more than thirty years ago; he had filled the Ex ecutive chair; he was the standard bearer of tbe gallant little party in 1850 who fell, fighting for their principles with the zeal of a religious con viction; he had been the nominee of the Demo cratic party for United States Senator, and the escutcheon of his past life was without a blot. — These are the men araigned by this resolution and asked to resign without a hearing; without a vin dication; without a voice in the Senate. He had too much confidence in the Senate to believe that they would pass the resolution. He knew not what source othersmight take, but as for himself, before he would ceusure those Jud ges before he would vote for the resolution ask ing them to resign for the reasons stated in it, without a defence and a hearing, his “tongue would cleave to the roof of his mouth and his arm would forget its cunnihg.” A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing from Portsmouth, Ya., in relation to tbe doings of the Conference of the Methodist Church in session there, says : There is in attendance at the present session, a larger number of ministers than lias ever before visited an annual Conference. Several ministers from the North Carolina Conference, who by the action ofthe late General Conference, were trans ferred with the territory embraced in the Danville district, will, doubtless, remain members of the Yirginia Conference. These, together with some who have hitherto occupied a local relation, but pro pose now to re-enter the regular work, and those received on trial considerably augment the numer ical strength of the body, We shall also lose some by transfer and otherwise. Altogether, the supply will not be equal to ihc work in Virginia, and some fields may lm-, o to go unsupplied. The publish in ■; interests of tho Church will take some considerable time of the Conference. Anew plan of opera ions was recommended by the late General Con! rence, but whether it will be en dorsed here, remains to be seen. R. Abbey, tbe Financial Secretary, has submitted a scheme for establishing a Book Depository at Richmond, anil for augmenting the capital of the concern at Nash ville, which meets with opposition and muy be defeated. A spirited discussion of the details of the plan is at present going on. and promises to be protracted. It is a grave question presented to grave men, and will doubtless meet with grave consideration. What are called the Educational Interests of the Church will also claim attention. Public meetings will doubtless be held, and an effort made to secure the amount now required to com plete the SIOO,OOO endowment for Macon College. I think some eight or ten thousand dollars ape now needed, Another Important Step in Science, The Commonwealth Manufacturing Company, of this city, have shown us anew amt very beau tiful barometer, tlie invention of Mr, T. I|. Tim ly, of this city, who has succeeded in rendering this instrument perfectly portable, (which we be lieve is tbe only one since the first conception of the barometer by Torricelli, a pupil of the cele brated Galileo more than two centuries ago,) and to demonstrate the practicability of bis discovery Mr. Timby made his barometer his travelling companion in Europe, and finally expressed it from Paris to New York, without the slightest injury. This we regard as a practical demonstration of its portability, and we bespeak for it a speedy and universal adoption, especially among agricultu rists, they more than any other class (save the mariners), need the counsel of this faithful moni tor which leaves nothing to conjecture, but tells with promptness of the coming storm long before a threatening is visible in the sky. We are told that the above named company are now making this, instrument upon a magnificent scale, and for a price that places them within the reach of the million. — Scien t ific Ain er ican, From the Liverpool Courier of Nor. 10. Tlic l melted Atlantic, The description given of Japan by some mem bers of Lord Elgin’s suite rivals that of the en chanted island in the Arabian Nights. “Nothing can exceed the picturesque beauty of the bay of Nagasaki, and the situation of the city at its ex tremity. Swelling hills covered with verdure rise from the water’s edge. The thatched roofs of snug cottages peep from out the dense foliage amid which they nestle. Precipitous walls of rock are mirrored in the azure blue of the waters at their base. The Japanese are courteous, affable, gen tlemanlike, and good-natured, quite different from the description our disinterested friends the Dutch gave of them. Jeddo, the capital, is larger than London, and contains 3,000,000 of people. The leading street is ten miles long, and closely packed with stuccoed houses. Here are the pallaces of 360 of the hereditary princes, each a sovereign in his own dominions, but compelled to reside in the capital for six months in the year. Some of the mansions are made to hold 10*000 retainers ! The palace of the secular king is surrounded by a tri ple wall, and gives lodging to 40,000 people. The streets are spacious, clean, and airy ; no dirt, no smells, no street obstructions. In the country every cottage, temple, and tea-house is surrounded by gardens laid out in exquisite taste. Tea houses are found in every shady nook or by plea sant rivers. The tea is served by the ministra tions offfair damsels, who glide rapidly and noise lessly about, suspecting no indecorum and mean ing none.” Strange that we should have known so little of this modern Atlantic, this beauteous isle set in a silver sea? Stranger still that they should have worked out so perfect anil yet so grotesque a spe cies of civilization, like the devices on their own were, odd anil startling, but minutely finished off. Here we have two kings: one spiritual, who can trace up his lineage for 2,500 years ; the other se cular, who commands the forces, both dwelling in the same city like brothers. The Japanese seem to be the most impossible nation on earth ; what ever they see they imitate —telescopes, aneroids, steam engines, spy-glasses, <fce., and yet they have hitherto locked themselves up within an impene trable barrier. They have, however, oue curious institution which prevails to a slight degree among ourselves. It is what they call “Nayboen,” or “make be lieve.” It is as if a man disbelieves the evidence of bis seuses, and acts accordingly. If a man dies in debt he is supposed to lie alive, and his family draw his income regularly to pay his eredi- - tors. If a man commit suicide on being insulted, he is not considered to be dead until some time has elapsed, when he is said to have departed from disease. So when Lord Elgin boldly dashed into the prohibited precincts of that harbour of Jeddo, after a little puzzled amazement, the Japa nese authorities determined to practise “Nay boon,” and believe he was somewhere else. Among other branches of useful education taught at the schools, the young patricians are instructed in the forms and ceremonies of hari kiri, i. e., of ripping one-self up. If a noble is out of favor at court, if a superior insult him. if he have committed an error in diplomacy, he in vites all his friends to a grand banquet, and when all are well fed and comfortable, he performs the hari kiri gracefully before them. Ever since the Americans obtained a footing in Japan this curi ous ceremony has been performed. We hope Lord Elgin’s treaty with this imperturbable nation will not be celebrated by such extraordinary perform ances. Our exports to Japan, last year, amounted to £2OO. Surely this wonderful people must have something to export and something to import too. They will not export any manufactured articles, but they will readily import them. Our warm wollens and stout cottons are just the thing for the northern districts. We trust our manufacturers are awake to this new market, and will not allow themselves to be beaten, as they were in China, by the Americans and Russians, even in our staple manufactures. Pay of Ministers.— The Attorney IGcnerai has decided that Ministers Resident, <fcc., are not entitled to any constructive allowance by way of infit, but cau only be paid for the time necessarily occupied in traveling from post ol duty to place of residence. A Minister on leave, and at home at the time of recall, is not paid for time occupied ‘n returning. Hasty Marriages.— The New York Tribune makes the following sensible remarks on the sub jeet of hasty marriages; “There is not a ciry, there is scarcely a town ship. which does not number among its inhabi | tants, women who have married on a very short acquaintance, only to be abused, deserted, and left a burden and a life long sorrow to the families in which they were born and reared, and which they most imprudently and improperly deserted to share ! the fortunes of relative strangers. If young la dies would realize how grossly indelicate as well as culpably reckless such marriages in the eyes of the observing, they surely would forbear. A year’s thorough acquaintance, with the most cir cumstantial accounts, from disinterested and relia ble witnesses, ofthe antecedents from childhood, are the-very least guarantee which any woman who realizes what marriage is, will require of a stranger. Even then, if her parents are not fully satisfied as well as herself she should still hesi tate. Marriage is an undertaking in which no delay can be so hazardous as uudue precipita i tion.” _ From the State Press. The Will of Ihc late D. Dempsey of Macon, Ga. Messrs. Editors: —Having noticed in several papers an absurd statement relative to the will of my dear father, I am reluctantly compelled to come out thus publicly to contradict the report, which lam sorry to see has been published in most of the Journals of the country, viz: That he bequeathed nearly all of his property to the Ca tholic Church at the solicitation of the Catholic Priest of this city. No man loved his family more than did my dear father. Midst the snow forests of Canada, and under the scorching summer sun of the South he labored incessantly for more than 30 years for the benefit of his family. Having been left an orphan at a very early age in Ireland, his native land, he commenced his mercantile career in that country and was more than sixty years engaged in active business. Fourteen times did he cross I the Atlantic, and midst the storm of the ocean, and perils by land, his heart and soul, next to bis ! duty to his Maker.jjwere “devoted to making his family independent and above the cold charity of the world. As his clerk and partner in business, I well knew the integrity, morality and honesty of his character, and though not disposed to make much public show of his piety, he loved the truly good and pious. Though frequently exposed to the insidious infidelity of the age, he was strong in the faith of his blessed Saviour, and bis last mo ments were calm and happy-grateful to his Maker for his success in life, and fora long life with scarce a day’s illness. He died in the full profession of the Catholic faith, and received its holy sacrament, and was attended by the pastor of this city, Rev, J. Hassen, who informed me his last days were peculiarly happy and peaceful, and indicative of the reward which awaits the faithful Christian, Farewell, dear father, your approving smile and your sympathising tear will no longer greet us on earth; our best friend is no more! My dear father had made his will some years previous to his demise, and bequeathed all his property to his family, without any public or religious donation, and accompanying is the certificate of the Ordi nary of our county: Will those editors who published the report and commented on it (and thus inadvertently probed the bleeding wound of a sorrowing family) in vindica tion of the memory of my dear father; also remove the impression relative to the pastor of this city, now absent on a mission in a neighboring State, than whom a more amiable, kind anil talented man exists notin the State—will they please pub lish this statement for the sake of truth and jus i tice ?
