FORMIC GEORGIA COURIER. LAW REPORTS. Robert Bledsoe \ Judgment fy fie- i'S. > ri facias to <jii.ttr.RT LoxesTRF.r.T. • Nov. Ter. 1825. Tlie defendant moved to have satisfac tion entered of record under the following italernent of facts, which was admitted on both sides, viz: The plaintiff’s attorney was indebted to one Angus Martin, and in discharge of his said debt assigned over to Martin, the judgmeut and execution of Bledsoe v. Longstreet. Longstreet, the defendant, afterwards paid the amount of the judgment to Martin, who entered sa tisfaction on the fieri facias. The attor ney received no money and the plaintiff has not been paid. The counsel for the plaintiff objected on the grounds, 1st, that an attorney has no power to assign a judgment; and, 2d, that the satisfaction of the private debt of the attorney was not such a payment to the attorney, as would be a payment to the plaintiff. By tiik Court.—An attorney at law has no power or authority to transfer or assign a judgment, because he has no in terest in the subject matter. His warrant extends only to the obtainment of the judgment, the suing out execution, and the receipt of the money.—2 Bos. &, Pi\ll. 357, 1 Binnev 469. An attorney cannot delegate his authority to another, and therefore Martin could have no authoriiy to receive the money from Longstreet, as the agent of the attorney of the plaintiff, so as to amount to a payment of the plain tiff. It was formerly doubted whether a payment to the attorney, was a payment to the plaintiff, though it is now settled to he so; hut a payment to an agent ap pointed hv the plaintiff’s attorney to sue, is not a payment to the plaintiff.—Doug. 623. Besides, on attorney Las only a naked power, not coupled with an inter est, and therefore he cannot transfer it; for, one who has an authority to do an act for another, must execute it himself and cannot transfer it to another, because this being a trust and confidence reposed in *he party, cannot be assigned to a stran ger, whose ability and integrity were not so well thought of by him for whom the act was to be done.—1 Boc. Abr. 320.— The attorney received no money from Martin or Longstreet in payment of the judgment; and although he has acknow ledged to have received value from Mar tin, vet there has bben no payment to hi in as the attorney, which in law or jus tice would be a payment to the plaintiff. See Codwise v. Field, 9 John. Rep. 263, where the court decided, that nothing but a payment in cash to the officer can be considered a pnvment to the plaintiff and a satisfaction of the execution. An attorney cannot discharge a defen dant under ca. sa. unless he receive the money. It was a disputed point as early ns the case of Pavne vs. Cheete, 1 Roll. Rop. 365, whether an attorney could ac knowledge satisfaction without receiving the money, in which Coke and Dod dridge differed, and ihere is no case in which that authority has been adjudged to belong to him, and it is against the na ture and limitation of his trust. The most that the cases say, is, that he may receive the monev recovered bv ca. sa. and then acknowledge satisfaction.—2 Shaw. 133, t Roll. Rep. 365. See Jack- son vs. Bartlett, S John. Rep. 367. The plaintiff, Bledsoe, has not been paid— The attorney has received no money; ami if the defendant, Longstreet, has paid the amount of the judgment to Mar tin, he has done it in his own wrong, be cause Martin was not the agent of the plaintiff, and had therefore no authority to receive it; the judgment and fi. fa. are still unsatisfied, and the defendant can take nothing by his motion. Motion de nied. WIVh SCHLEY, Judge. THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, Dr. Franklin. &c. A friend has furnished us with an in teresting manuscript, relating to a most important period of our history. The ^circumstances here detailed are new to jus, and we believe they have never be- fore been made public. The narrative is in the words of Gen. , one of the members of the General Convention which framed the Constitution. It was com mitted to paper by the gentleman to whom Gen. — detailed the facts, and we now have the satisfaction of laying it before our readers, N. Y. Gaz. “ I was,” said Gen. 1-1, “ a’delegate from ——, in the General Convention assembled in Philadelphia, for the pur pose of digesting a Constitution for the United States, and I believe I was the youngest member of that body. The great and good Washington was chosen our President, and Dr. Franklin, among other great men, was a delegate from themselves in* oratorical flourishes—but the good sense and discretion of the ma jority put down all such attempts. We had convened to deliberate upon, and if possible, effect a great national object— to search for political tcisdom and truth these we meant to pursue with simplicity, and to avoid every thing which would have a tendency to divert our attention, or perplex our scheme. A great variety of projects were pro posed—all republican in their general out lines, but different in their details. It therefore determined that certain elemen tary principles should at first be establish ed in each branch of the intended con stitution, and afterwards the details should be debated and filled up. There was little or no difficulty in de termining upon the elementary principles —such as for instance that the govern ment should be a republican representa tive government. That it should be di vided into three branches, i. e. Legisla tive, Executive, and Judicial, Sfc. But when the organization of the respective branches of the Legislature came under consideration, it was easy to be perceived that the eastern and the southern states had distinct interests, which it was diffi cult to reconcile, and that the larger states were disposed to form a constitution in which the smaller states would be mere appendages and satellites to the larger ones. On the first of these subjects much animated and somewhat angry de bate had taken place, when the ratio of representation in the lower House of Congress was before us, the southern states claiming for themselves the whole number of black population, while the eastern states were for confining the elec tive franchise to freemen only without re spect to color. As the different parties adhered perti naciously to their different positions, it was feared that this was an insurmounta ble obstacle; but as the members were already satisfied that no constitution could be formed which would meet the views and subserve the interests of each indivi dual state, it was evident that it must be a matter of compromise and mutual con cession. Under these impressions, and with these views, it was agreed at length that each state should be entitled to one Delegate in the House of Representatives for every thirty thousand inhabitants—in which number should be included three- fifths of their slaves. When the details of the House of Re presentatives were disposed of, a more difficult point presented itself in the or ganization of the Senate. The larger states contended that the same ratio as to States should be common to both branches of the Legislature—or, in other words, that each state should be entitled to a representation in the Senate (whatever number might be fixed on) in proportion to its population, as in the House of Re presentatives. The smaller, states, on the other hand, contended that the House of Representatives might be considered as the guardian of the liberties of the peo ple, and therefore ought to bear a just proportion of their numbers, but that the Senate represented the sovereignty of the states—and that as each state, whether great or small, was equally an indepen dent and sovereign state, It ought in this branch of the Legislature to have equal weight and authority ; without this they said there would be no security for their equal rights; and thev would by such a distribution of power be merged and lost in the larger states. This reasoning, however plain and powerful, had but little influence on the minds of Delegates from the larger states, and as they formed 8 large majority of the Convention, the question, after passing thro’ the forms of debate, was decided that each state should be represented in the Senate in proportion to its population.” When the Convention had adjourned over, to the next day, the Delegates of the four smallest states, i. e. Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-Jersey, and Delaware, convened to consult wbat course was to be pursued in the important crisis at which we have arrived—after serious investiga tion, it was solemly determined to ask for a reconsideration the next morning; and if it was not granted, or if when granted, that offensive feature of the constitution could not be expunged, and the smaller slates put upon an equal footing with the largest, we would secede from the Con vention, and, returning to our constitu ents, inform them that no compact could be formed with the large states, but one which would sacrifice our sovereignty and independence. “I was deputed,” said Gen. ——, “to be the organ through which this commu nication should be made—I know not why, unless it be that young men are ge nera 1 ly chosen to perform rash actions— Accordingly, when the Convention had assembled, and as soon as ihe minutes of the last sittings were read, I rose and staled the view we had taken of the or ganization of the Senate—our desire to obtain a reconsideration and suitable mo dification of that article; and in failure thereof, our determination to secede from the Convention and return to our consti tuents. This disclosure, it may readily be sup posed, produced an immediate and great excitement in every part of the House.— Several members were immediately on the floor to express their surprise or in dignation! They represented that the question had received a full and fair in vestigation, and had been definitely set tled by a very large majority—that it was altogether unparliamentary and unreason- ble, for one of the minority to propose a reconsideration, at the moment their act had become a matter of record; and with- oat pretending that any new light could be thrown on the subject—that if such a precedent should be established, it would in future be impossible to say when any one point was definitely settled, as a small minority might, at any moment, again and again, move and obtain a reconsideration —they therefore hoped the Convention would express its decided disapprobation, by passing silently to the business before them. There was much warm, and some acri monious feeling exhibited by a number of the speakers—a rupture appeared al most inevitable, and the bosom of Wash ington seemed to labor with the most anx ious solicitude for its issue. Happily fur the U. States, the convention and some individuals possessed of talents and vir tues of the highest order, whose hearts were deeply interested in the establish ment of a new and efficient form of go vernment ; and whose penetrating minds had already explored the evils which would spring up in our newly established Republic, should the present attempt to consolidate it prove abortive. Among those personages the most prominent was Dr. Franklin. He was esteemed the Mentor of our body. To a mind natur ally strong and capacious, enriched by much reading, and the experience of ma ny years, he added a manner of commu nicating his thoughts peculiarly his own, in which simplicity, beauty and strength, were equally conspicuous. As soon as the angry orators who preceded him had left him an opening, the Doctor rose, evidently impressed with the weight of the subject before him, and the diffi culty of managing it successfully. “We have arrived, Mr. President,’’ said he, “at a very momentous and inter esting crisis in our deliberations. Hi herto our views have been as harmonious, and our progress as great, as could leasonably be expected. But now an unlooked for and formidable obstacle is thrown in our way, which threatens to arrest our course, and if not skillfully removed, to render all our fond hopes of a constitution abor tive. The ground which was taken by the delegates of the four smallest States was unexpected by me, and as repugnant to my feelings as it can be to any other member of this convention. “After what X thought a full and im partial investigation of the subject, I re corded my vote in the affirmative side of the question, and I have not yet heard any thing which induces me to change my opinion. But I will not therefore conclude it impossible for me to do wrong! I will not say that those gentlemen who differ from me are under a delusion! much less will I charge them with an in tention of needlessly embarrassing nur deliberations. It is possible some change in our late proceedings ought to take place upon principles of mutual justice; or that all things considered, the majority may see cause to recede from some of their just pretensions as a matter of pru dence and expediency. For my own part there is nothing I so much dread as a failure to devise and establish some equal and efficient form of government for our infant Republic. The present effort has been made under the happiest auspi ces, and has promised most favorable re sults—but should this effort prove vain, it will be long ere another can be made with any prospect of success. Our strength and our prosperity will depend on our unity; and the secession of even four of the smallest States, interspersed as they are, would in my mind paralyse and ren der useless, any plan which the'majority could devise. I should therefore be grie ved, Mr.President, to see matters brought to the test, which has been perhaps too rashly threatened on the one hand, and which some of my colleagues have treato! 1 too lightly on the other. I am convinced that it is a subject which should be ap proached with caution—treated with ten derness—decided on with candor and li berality. It is however to be feared, that the members of this convention are not in a temper at this moment to approach the subject on which we differ in this spirit; I would therefore propose, Mr. President, that without proceeding further in this business at this time, the convention should adjourn for three days, in order to let the present ferment pass off, and to afford time for a more full, free and dis passionate investigation of the subject.— And I would earnestly recommend to the members of the convention, that they spend the time of this recess, not in asso ciating with their own party, and devising new arguments to fortify themselves in their old opinions ; hut that they mix with members of opposite sentiments, lend a patient ear to their reasonings, and can didly allow them all the weight to whi ’h they may be entitled; and when we as semble again, I hope it will be with a de termination to form a constitution—if not such an one as we can individual!)* and in all respects approve—yet the best which, under existing circumstances, can be ob tained.” (Here the countenance of Wash ington brightened, and a cheering ray seemed to break in upon the gloom which had recently covere 1 our political hori zon.) The Doctor continued. “Before I sit down, Mr. President, I will suggest another matter, and I am really surprised that it has not been proposed by some other member at an earlier period of our deliberations. I will suggest, Mr. Presi dent, tbe propriety of nominating and ap pointing, before we separate, a* Chaplain to tbis Convention, whose duty it sbjpl be uniformly to assemble with us, and intro duce the business of each day by an ad dress to the Creator of the Universe and the Governor of all Nations, beseeching Him to preside in our council—enlighten our minds with a portion of heavenly wis dom—influence our hearts with a love of truth and justice, and crown our labors with a complete and abundant success.” The Doctor sat down, and never, said Gen. did I behold a countenance at once so dignified and delighted, as was that of Washington, at the close of this address. Nor were the members of this Convention generally less affected. The words of the venerable Franklin fell upon our ears with a weight and authority even greater than we may suppose an oracle to have had in a Roman senate. A silent admiration superseded, for a moment, the expression of that assent and approbation which was strongly marked on almost -every countenance; I say almost, for one man was found in the Convention, Mr. H- » from , who rose and said— With regard to the first motion of the honorable gentleman for an adjournment, he would yield his assent; but he pro tested against the second motion, for the appointment ot a chaplain. He then commenced a high strained eulogium on the assemblage of wisdom, talent and ex perience which the convention embraced —declared the high sense he entertained of the honor which his constituents had conferred upon him, in making him a member of that respectable body; since he was confidently of opinion, that they they were competent to transact the bu- riness which had been entrusted to their care, that they were equal to every exi gence which might occur, and concluded by saying, that therefore he did not see the necessity of calling in foreign aid! Washington fixed his eyes upon the speaker with a mixture of surprise and indignation, while lie uttered this imperti nent and impious speech! and then look ed around to see in what manner it af fected others. They did not leave him a minute to doubt, no one deigned to reply, or take the smallest notice of the speaker; but the motion for appointing a chaplain was instantly seconded and carried; whe ther under the silent disapprobation of M\ H , or his solitary negative, I do not recollect. The motion for an ad journment was then put, and carried una nimously, and the Convention adjonrned accordingly. The three days of recess were spent in the manner advised by Dr. Franklin ; the opposite parties mixed with each other, and a f ee and frank interchange of senti- s rook place. On the fourth day we asset light ever led, culti and subj* r A- prnye in? w. Docio. stated, tened iNlerl again, and if great additional had not been thrown on the subject, unfriendly feeling had been expel- and a spirit of conciliation had been ated, which promised at least a calm mate reconsideration .of the ipdSSli (.0 ns the chaplain had ended his and the minutes of the last meet- ’ rea.;’, til eyes were turned to the lie rose, and in a few words do dig the recess he had lis- rentiveiy to all the arguments pro and con which had been urged by both sides of ihe house—that he had himself said much, aud thought more on the sub ject—he saw difficulties and objections which might he urged by individual states against every scheme which had been proposed, and he thought now, more than ever, that the Constitution which they were about to form, in order to he just and equal, must be formed on the basis of compromise and mutual concession.— With such views and feelings he would now move a reconsideration of the vote last taken on the organization of the Se nate. The motion was seconded, the vote carried, tbe former vote rescinded, and bv a successive motion and resolution, the Senate was organized on the present plan. M. W.
