Tke Li*bilitiea of Stockholder* of
lukt-
We promised onr render* » statement
ot ike point* involved iu the cam of S.
D. Heard n. the Mecheeic*' Bank,
which was decided oe Frid.j, as it ap
plies to the holders of bills on all the
Banks of the Stats. The action was
brought by Mr. Heard in September,
on over $ 11,000 worth of the bills
pf the Mechanise 1 Bank. Suit was
brought against the Bank, and a notice
hr publication in a newspaper given,
tinder a provision of the Code of Geor
gia, to bind the Stockholders by the
judsment
i he defence was—lst, that the Bank
had surrendered its charter to the State
before the suit was brought, and that
service on Mr. Metcalf, the former Pres
ident .of the Bank, was no service on
the Bank, as it bad ceased to exist-
The Counsel for the Plaintiffs insisted
that the surrender of the charter was not
valid as such until accepted by the Le
gislature; aud that the Bank was still io
existence.
The defence insisted that such ac
ceptance by the Legislature was not
necessary; as the Code authorizes a
voluntary surrender of the charter,
which amounts to an acceptance in ad
vance of all charters that are voluntarily
surrendered.
The Court ruled that the acceptance
by the. Legislature was necessary, and
that the corporation was not dissolved
by tiling its surrender in the Executive
office, and the communication of it to
the Legislature by the Governor. The
Court, therefore, held the Bank still in
existence, and the service sufficient, and
sustained a demurrer to the plea filed
by J udge Gould, that the Bank was dis
solved.
A plea was then filed, in behalf of a
Stockholder, which the Judge allowed ;
but held that in this action only the
defence of the Bank, and not of the
Stockholders, could be set up.
A plea was then filed that the charter
was a contract between the Bank and
the corporators, that the Bank should
hare.nnd enjoy all the rights, privileges,
and franchises given by the charter, and
should be fully protected in them, and
that in consideration of this agreement
on the part of the State the Bank agreed
to pay all its hills at maturity on de
mand, and the stockholders agreed to
become personally responsible, in the
last resort, as guarantors or sureties;
that when the plaintiff took the bills he
did it with knowledge of this law, and
cl the contract between the original
parties, and became a voluntary party to
the contract; that the State had vio
lated its port of the contract by engaging
in war, which caused the blockade of
the ports of the State and destroyed its
commerce; that the State passed a law
to forfeit the charter of any Bank failing
to redeem its bills in specie on demand*
and afterwards passed stay laws that
prohibited the Bank from collecting
debts due it, which compelled a suspen
sion of specie payment; that alter this*
l lie Stale, with the penalty of the for
loiture of the charter hanging over the
Bank, passed an act compelling the
Bmk to take Confederate money in
payment of all gold debts due it, and
afterwards compelled the Bank to loan
the Slate halt a million of dollars and
take State notes and bonds in payment*
which the State repudiated, and refuses
to pay; that this violation of the con
tract by the State relieved the Bank*
and if not the Bank, certainly the
stockholders, who were only sureties
from liability of the bill holders, who
took the bills with knowledge of the
terms of the contract between the State
and the corporation, and subject to that
contract. This the Court overruled.
The defense also set up a plea that
Mr. Heard and his partner owed the
Bank over $30,000 in gold at the com
mencement of the war; that they took
the benefit of the Stay Law, and did
not pay it till the latter part of 1863,
when gold was worth about twenty for
one, and then paid in Confederate
money ; that as the law compelled the
bank to take Confederate money, and
did not compel other persons to take it,
it only amounted to payment to the
value of the Confederate money,and that
the 1 1.intiS*, who purchatod the bills
sned on in 1863 and 1864, whon they
were depreciated, ought not to recover ■
anything, but should pay the bank the
difference between Confederate money
aud gold on his debt, which would leave
him still in debt to the Bank more than
the amonnt of the claim now sued on.
The Court refused to allow this de
fence, and the jnry found for the plain
tiff the amount claimed by him.
This case, if sustained by the Su
preme Court, to which, we lenrn it is
likely to he carried, establishes the
point-that the acceptance of the sur.
rend* r of a charter by the Legislature
is necessary to make such surrender
valid, and that therefore the surrenders
that have been made arc Void.
All* fop the South.—lt is (tinted
that the .subscriber* to the l’inglish
out ion famine fund desire to ap
liropri.ne their surplus funds, amounting
to tin- large sum of SOOO,OOO, in gold,
to the relief of the Southern State* of
the American Union. It ia known but
u small portion of the funds would ever
be claimed by tbe subscribers under
nus circumstances, and, therefore, it ia
not likely that thero will be any diffi
culty in the way of its suggested appli
cation. It would be a magnificent
dountiou.

bike eold and.piercing, (rutin* rein,
That seetann to breath# llta'i solemn
hnnll j | t F
The Hn» that me to brightly shone,
And every hope cheered Into (lower;
By Fate’s dark hand was from me borne,
'Mid ntoads that roaad him aaamad to
lowar.
The hearts I thought were foedly tree,
No more their pleasure gave to mo—
-1 oeiy tall aad oely knew
That 1 was Ailed with thoughts of thee.
I tew thine image in tba flours
That shed their (ragraaen on the air,
I tail thea ia the quiet bowers ;
Oh ! yes, I knew then ovary whore.
And then methought, that Ood was good,
To tend sueh blessings down on me,
And when beside my cuach I stood,
I preyed to Him, and tbonght of thee.
I bowed my head, and oe’r my heart,
Flowed reelings lar too deep to tell,
And from my lips the prayer would start,
That thou might ne’er on earth know ill.
That thou who (tom life’s gloomy vale,
Had led me on to cherished peace,
Might have no lost hope to bewail,
Nor cries of sorrow e’er tn cease.
I seemed a charmed life to lead,
While thy brown eye* were on me bent,
And oft I felt that thou, indeed,
Were like an angel to ms tent. (
Tea! like a spirit clothed in robes
Os purest white, as angels wear,
Who far away in heavenly globes,
8o tali of good and quiet are.
Every thought was purer mads,
When oa the lovely faee I gated;
And every sorrow seemed to fade,
When thine eyes to mine wore raised,
'Tis heaven to be in thy sight,
'Tit sorrow when thou art not near,
In thy presence ail is bright,
Nothing sad, aad nothing drear.
Bnt oh 1 the suffering that my tool,
Feels where thy presence ia net known,
Is that ia Holy Scripture told,
Os those in lower regions torn.
Deal gently with me in my woe,
And let thy tender nature give,
To me that trust, that I may know
There still is hope—that I may live.
Oh ! eould’st thou read this heart of mine,
When in my own thy hand I hold.
Couid’st see the throbbing, boating line
That marks the flow of crimson bold,
Tbine eyes would gate on wondrous sight.
Thine heart would beat with rapture
wild,
To know that for one moment bright,
I left the man, to be the child.
The laving, trusting, tender child, .
Whose every thought is free from sin,
Whose breath breathed perfume pure and
mild,
Who never dreamed of “might have been."
Then guard the heart thou now hast won,
For ne’er before bast it been given,
And if 'tie lost from this bright sun,
Farewell to all its hope* of Heaven.
Ob ! thou must love it ail thou can’st,
And let it dream a little while,
That by an aagel 'tis entranced,
To be absolved from earthly guile.
And thea, when 1 shall pass away,
To meet the Judge of all mankind,
Id thy heart thou then ean’st say,
He with that Judge will favor find.
And thon wilt know the little love,
Thou gavest to him here below,
Was that which helped to lead above,
The soul that lived and suffered so.
’Twill be to thee a cheering thought,
When thy bands of life are riven,
To know that thou bast in me wrought,
The change which brought me God and
Heaven.
And when around the throne we meet,
in that Heme so bright and fair.
I may thee then in spirit greet,
And fondly, dearly, lore thee there.

EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Relief fob the Destitute. — W. Gil
more Simms, Esq., in a handsome letter,
which is published in the Charleston
News, acknowledges the receipt of $315
from the employees of the United States
Treasury office, at New York, for the
destitute of the South. This is a pleas
ing and touching exhibition of a spirit
of generous sympathy, which will not be
forgot'on by its recipients.
Ivnu Cottok. —The growing of cot
ton in India is rapidly on the increase.
It is shown that, in the five years pre
ceding the American war, the average
yenrly value of Cotton imported into
England from India was £3,862,776.
In the five succeeding years the average
rose to £25,884,646. The quantity
imported during the year 1866, the year
jnst closed, is the largest known,
amounting to 1,857,770 bales, worth
opwards of £23,000,000.
A High Old Time.—The Sultan of
Turkey is said to be shout to take his
family on a sight seeing exenrsion to
Paris. His suit is announced as con
sisting of five hundred persons—three
hundred women and fifteen. Eunuchs,etc.
Whether these Indies and gentlemen—
we mean the houris and eunuchs—will
be lodged in the Tuileries, along with
the great Turk himself, we have not yet
learned. We may be sare that he and'
his suite will create a greater sensation
in Paris than all the emperors in
Christendom.
Y *le College.—The Courant gives
the following statistics of the graduating
class of Yale College: “The class of
1867 entered with 138 members; received
20 more during its course, has lost 66,
and graduates 101, of whom 81 were
original members. The class h»s lost
by death five members, one from a fever
contracted while in the nrmy. Twenty
three States and the West Indies are, or
have been represented in the class.—
Connecticut had 36, New York 27.
Massachusetts 14, Pennsylvania 12, and
the Southern States 13.
A Speech bt Jefferson Davis.—
The only speech Jefferson Davis has yet
made in Canada was delivered in Niagara
during his visit to that place—when he
was serenaded by the band of the town,
and a large number of the towns-people.
They were invited into Mr. Miiroii’s
house, where Mr. Davis was staying, nnd
introduced to that gentleman, who ex
pres.-el his thanks in the following brief
speei h:
“Gentlemen —l thank you sincerely
for the honor you have this evening
shown to me; it shows that true British
manhood to which misfortune is always
attractive. May pence and prosperity
be forever the blessing of Canada, for
she has been the asylum for many of my
friends, a* she is now au asylum to my
self. 1 hope that Canada may forever
remain a part of the British Empire, and
may God bless you all, and the British
flag nevet cease to wave over you.”
The New York Times thinks this
speech indicates that Mr. Davis intends
to reside in Canada, and that he is op
posed to its annexation to tbe United
States.

Augnsta, Juno 15th. jel6-3t
grand jury, of
Richmond County, chosen and sworn for the first
week, June Term, 1867, beg leave to make the
following
PRESENTMENTS:
We have examined the Books of the County
Treasurer, and find them correctly kept, and prop
er vouchera.
We have also examined the Records in the office
of the Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courta,
and find them neatly and handsomely kept.
We have also examined the Records in the office
of D. L. Roath, Esq., Ordinary, and find them, aa
usual, worthy of the highest admiration and re
gard. Mr. R. Is the right man in the right place*
We have examined the County Jail, ami find the
same kept in good condition, and reflecting great
credit on the parties having the same in charge.
We have also given the Poor House a thorough
examination, and find the same kept in admirable
order, and reflecting great credit upon the keeper
of that institution.
We regret to say that the Roads of the county,
not being worked upon, are now in bad condition,
and the smaller Bridges in a dangerous situa
tion, in consequence of the planks In many cHsea,
having been removed and destroyed, or burnt by
lawless persons. It is absolutely necessary that
repairs should be made to enable travellers to pass
in safety. We would, therefore, recommend that
the Inferior Court should employ five or six
workmen who, under the direction of a competent
and energetic overseer, could put the roads in
order, and repair and secure the safe passage Os
the smaller bridges, and, by spiking or pinning
the planks, prevent their future removal. We be
lieve the number of bands named would be
quite sufficient, if well directed and managed, and
the general complaint silenced at the
possible cost. We must have roads on which we
can travel in safety, to enable the fanner to bring,
hia produce to market, aa well as to enable him to
take back his supplies—to enable him to carry on
bis farm work—and without which, both the
Country and City must greatly suffer. We hope
the early attention of the proper authorities will be
given to this very important matter.
Some strict action seems called for to meet the
many evils that threaten the country from the
indiscrimmute sale of intoxicating liquors.« Many
if not most of the crimes committed, can be di
rectly or indirectly traced to this cause alono #
How to restrict the trafic, and still respect the
rights of which nil citizens in a free country are
Justly jealous, is a troublesome problem that may
well cause reflection and discussion. Laws unen-
forced breeds contempt for all laws, consequently
the only remedy that seems applicable to the
present state of society is, to strictly enforce the
present laws, and to make such alterations of
them a§ will make them effective. Let no license
be granted, except upon the recommendation of
respectable citizens, aud bond and security given
to sell only according to the law. The law pro
hibits selling on the Sabbath day—Relling to
drunken men, selling to children, or gambling on
the premises. Make the puhlic officers see that
these laws are enforced, aud many of the evils
arising from this trafic would disappear, and the
way would be paved for more strict legislation in
relation to this matter. The evils that curse the
land arises from the doggeries, licensed and un
licensed, that are planted at every cross road in
this country, and .it nearly all ibe corners of every
public street in the City of Augusta.
We would respectfully call the attention of the
City authorities to the violation of their Ordinance,
regarding the firing of guns and pistols within the
City limits, endangering thereby the lives of citi
zens. particularly ou the outskirts of the City. The
same evil existing throughout the county, the
attention of the Judges of the inferior Court is
respectfully called to take such action as they
deem necessary to correct this evil
We notice, with much regret, the continued re
tention of the Richmond County Academy, a
“pqblic institution,’* by the military authorities,
notwithstanding a positive order has been issued
for its evacuation, and we respectfully recommend
that the Trustees renew their application, through
tbe Commandant of the Tost, for its prompt evneu
otion.
In taking leave of their Honors, th*» Judges pre
siding this week, we beg leave to tender our
thanks for their promptness in the discharge of
their duties, and for courtesies extended toward
us. We also beg leave to return our thanks to
the Attorney General for his uniform kindnessaadn and
attention toward us
