~ . n rtnami-rr-iTif-jw ni i i win i m' injunim CONSTITUTIONALIST. .dUHUST.d ; TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24. 1829 " R said in our last (hat the case of Comtek's ndministrarnr vs. Dugas, had been tried ; this is a mistake—there was a mis trial in that case—the Ju* ry not having agreed upon a verdict. We have be fore had occasion to remark upon the frequency of mistrials in this county ; we think them of more common occurrence than formerly, and it is matter of surprize that they are so ; because, as there is always to be found a great deal of intelligence both in our special and petit .Tories—one would think it no difficult matter to find where the truth lies in each particular case. Perhaps the failure to disco-1 vev it, may arise in some measure, from a want ofi system, in the transaction of business in the Jury Room. This being a subject in which all are deep ly interested—(for how much are parties,, witnesses and jurors harrassed, and how greatly is justice im peded by repeated trials of the same case—some- 1 limes a case occupying several days at every hear- : in . t ?'>) we take leave to make the following sugges tions : The Jury room should be furnished with a table, chairs and stationary, and if need be, with fires and candles. Wo know that fires are inter dieted, but we would innovate so far upon estab lished usage as to allow them ; if the law be against it, the consent of parties might excuse the law. On arriving at their room the Jurors should he seated, the foreman presiding, and causing a perfect order to be observed in their deliberations, and delivering his opinion first, to the Jury. Each Juror should then in his turn be heard, and if there he a contra riety of opinion respecting the law or the fact—ap plication should immediately be made to the Judge respecting the first, or an appeal to the witnesses in relation to (lie last—the whole Jury returning for that purpose, to their box in the Court room. If. the facts and the law be admitted and the jurors cannot agree—they may rely upon it—there is some feeling or bias which has imperceptibly crept into I their councils, and the sooner they search for and expel it the better. A moderate and calm discus sion will effect this object—but such a discussion should be conversational in its character—each mem ber submitting his views from his seat to the chair and taking care to remember that his judgment is to be governed by the evidence lie has heard—the opinions he entertains of the witnesses, (from their manner and the evidence relating to them)—and not by any prejudices for or against the parties, or any knowledge of the facts he may individually pos sess- Surely it is not asserting too much to say, that by pursuing such a course as this, the jury would in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred come at the truth. Let it not be said the plan we propose is too systematic and minute to be adopted by per sons who have not been accustomed to such disci pline, and that it would consume too much lime in its execution. Let it be faithfully tried—it will be found easy and practicable, and we certainly think much time will be saved, rather than lost, by it. His Honor (he Judge, continues to press onward in a persevering and business like manner. Ft was the wish of the Bar to meet the Court at a later hour and to adjourn earlier, but as the Dockets are full, a request to that effect was politely refused, and the sessions of the Court are from 9 A. M. to the setting of the sun, and sometimes by candlelight. We fear notwithstanding every effort, all lire busi ness of the Term will not be disposed of within the time limited by Law. Many important questions have been agitated and determined during the past week, several of which we subjoin. In the case of Danger by his Guardian, vs. [till, (be Court decided that free persons of color can not sue or be sued without Guardian. In the case of Habersham fur the use of the United States, vs. Labuzan and others, the Plaintiff was non-suited on the ground, that he had no title to the note on , which he sued. The note was originally payable to Watkins, endorsed by him in blank and lost, j Watkins afterwards established a copy of the lost j note under a Rule of Court, and now the suit is j brought by Habersham as indorsee The Court hold 1 that the Record of the establishment of the note shewed that the property was then in Watkins. It : was not competent for Watkins to endorse it after wards, nor had he in fact, done so, the endorse ment having been made previous to the loss of the . note. The Defendant’s counsel said the case was 1 ‘‘an old offender,” and adverted to several nonsuits, ( ordered bv other Judges in several eases commen * ° # ( ced upon the same cause of action./ Tljk Plaintiff’s counsel had permission to take a Bide to set aside the nonsuit.—ln the case of Howard, vs. the 1 Steam-Boat Company— the Court declined jurisdic- ! tion, deciding that the action should have been in- , slituted in the county of Chatham, where the Com'- \ pany has its office- A true Bill has been found by \ the Grand Jury agaius' John Guimarin —(he first 1 Bill Sent before the Jury was ignored and the He- ( fendaqt discharged * he was subsequently aitested | and frjlbw in confinement. The Grand Jury, No. I 1, wiyjjßKdly discharged on Saturday evenjng— • their presentments are marked by good sense, and will.be lead with interest. Several individuals have ) been presented for unlawfully trading with slaves < and bills have been found. There is a singular * aW u l ,on l^'B Sl| kj ecf > which re- 1 MMK&qi.Legislative amendment. The person tending PWtlrtis*{aye is required to retain for his own justili - authorising the slave to sell ; now',lt it that the slave has several little matters to 1 sell, and for the sale of which he has a Ticket, and i, he sells t oieveral persons— all of whom it is clear, I cannot take possession of the Ticket. Thus one might very innocently buy, and yet if indicted for ( unlawful traffic not be in possession of the evidence 1 to his defence. A better regu ft lallon might be to require the person giving the per mit to specify particularly the articles allowed to he sold, and to keep n copy of the Ticket The pur chaser would then in rase of difficulty, know where to refer for the proper evidence. The Inferior Court has been in session upon the cases of the misguided and foolish blacks engaged in a recent attempt to set fire to the city. Two fe males have been convicted and two males acquitted. The lion. Merry G. Lam ah, passed through this city during the last week, on his way to Washing ton. The Hon. J. M. Wavrk is at present in An gusta. While we are writing, a very refreshing rain is falling. The weather has been very mild, and the j thermometer within a degree or two of summer heat. “ Extract of a letter soma friend at Alilledgeville. ’ ’ AIISTRACT OF the no in nitt. ; Sec. 2d. And be it further enacted. That the | said superintendant as soon as he shall be appoint ,ed, is hereby authorized and directed to take charge ot all (he public hands belonging to the State of Georgia which have not been hirer! out, & of all the rest thereof, so soon as the time for which they may .be hired out shall expire, and place lhe same upon i the public roads, which may be hereinafter pointed j out and designated. , i Sec. 3d. And be it further enacted, That it shall i be the duty of said superintendant to employ forty 1 of said hands for the improvement of the road lead ing fiom Augusta to Cainsville, by the wav of Ap- 1 I 1 ling in Columbia county, Washington, Lexington, I ; Athens and Jefferson. The residue of said hands to be employed in improving the road from Angus- ( ta to Warrenton, then to be divided into two equal i portions one portion to he employed in improving < the road from Warrenton to M‘Donough, in Henry i 1 county—by the way of Powellon, Cooper’s bridge, on the Oconee river, Ealontonand Monticello ; and the other portion to be employed in improving the 1 road from Warrenton to Macon—via James Shiv ers mill, Sparta, Milledgeville and Clinton-— each rout beginning at Augusta. After the road from Augusta to Gainsville shall be completed the hands , shall be wilhdrawn from said road, and employed in, improving the road from Powelton to Decatur, in 1 De Kalb county, via Greenesborough, Madison and j Clinton—After said roads shall be completed the i whole of said hands shall be employed as the Le- i , gislature shall from time to time order and direct, i j Sec - 4th. And be it further enacted, That the i sum of $25,000 (including the 20,000 dollars here- 1 tofore appropriated for the improvement of the Sa- i vannali river above Augusta) be, and the same is i , hereby appropriated to the purchase of able bodi- | ttl bands, within the Stale of Georgia, and who 1 shall have been in Georgia twelve months, to be 1 placed under one other superintendant— one half i to be employed on the mad from Savannah to Ma coir—via Marion and Dublin ; one fourth on the 1 road from Macon by Forsyth to Columbus, and the balance on the road from Columbus via Decatur to 1 Lawrenceville, in Gwinnett county. The above is an abstract of the “Road Bill” which : lliis day passed the House by a large majority. That part ot it designating the routs of the principal roads through the north-western part of Georgia, is an a mendment offered by Mr. Shorter, of Putnam. During the first stage of discussion—Mr. Turner, of Putnam, offered another amendment, which if adop ted, would have divided the hands belonging to the State between the Rivers and the Roads; but the vote upon that question was a conclusive one, and decisive, as to the fate of what is here called the “ River system.” The House rejected, by a large majority, the amendment offered, and thereby de- . terminal upon taking the negroes belonging to the State from the water courses and placing them up on the roads. The vote upon Mr. Shorter’s amend ment was considered as indicative of the support which the Bill would receive upon its final passage i through the House, and therefore, among other friends of the project, Messrs. Hull, Dougherty, Shorter, and Black, spoke at considerable length in favour of its adoption. In the course of this debate it appeared that upwards of $390,000, together with the labour of all the hands belonging to the State, had been expended upon the water-courses within our boundaries exclusive of the #20,000 appropri ated for the improvement of the Savannah River, above Augusta, and #3OOO for the clearing out of Brier Creek in Burke and Scriven ; which last sums have been returned into the Treasury. It was be lieved that the benefits resulting from these expen- , ditures were not correspondent with the money and ! labour laid out, and therefore that any farther appro priation of that sort was impolitic and contrary to I he: true interests of the people. There was some warmth | displayed by the opponents of the Bill, but the ma- i jority of the House could not perceive the fitness and; | justice of tfie arguments ot those who advocated the : River system. It is very certain that if the measure should go down in the Senate, Augusta must be 1 greatly benefitted, for the principal roads provided 1 for by the Bill, lead immediately from a rich and ' populous interior to that city, upon the merchants | of which the farmers of that section, are wholly de- pendant for trade ami barter. I here are also other sections of country, at pre sent trading to other markets, which, if passable | roads were constructed, would send their produce to «. Augusta. Therefore the project is likely not only,, to retain, and improve, what we now have, but alsoj. to make an addition to our trade, from which it is to; be hoped our merchants and citizens generally will r reap their fair proportion of benefit. State politics * were clropt in this matter, and the advocates and 1 opponents of the Kill were distinguished under the Road and River interest. Some of the details of the!. Bill are evidently disagreeable to the original movers! ot the measure, but it was found necessary to con-' sent to them to procure its final passage. ‘<li« cy was at first deemed doubtful by many, out whenj ( we recollect the different sectional and local feel- ( mgs ami interests that must necessarily beautified, it is believed that even in its present s ia|Vthe Bill, ' if it passes the Senate will be the signal of a great vie- ‘ tory gained by the true friends of Internal Improve- 1 ment over the narrow policy of its shortsighted op- i ponents. I hope before long to be enabled to in- , form you that this Bill, for which we have been so strenuously striving, has goi dorm in the Senate, ' and received the Executive sa. ciiori * The Bill giving to Justices of (he Peace jurisdic- 1 tion sounding in damages; was after much and warm I debating, lost in the House of Representatives. j s The election of State House Officers took place', this day, ami the result is that Col. Hamilton was | elected Secretary of Slate, over his opponent Mr. Bozeman. Hines Holt, I reasurer, beating George * R. Clayla* 37 votes. T. B. Howard, Comptroller; I elected upon the 2d ballotting. Betliune, Survey- < or General. The election of Major General, to \ [supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of ( i General John I* loyd, resulted in the election of Gen. i David lay lor, of Burke county. It is hoped that after the elections are over, there will be less political agila tion among the ' members, who will he left more to themselves 1 to pursue llie real mte-restsof the Stale, instead of I striving for the promotion of men. There really i appears to be a deserving and commendable spirit ot reconciliation between the Troup and Clark men in the present Legislature. whenever am measure ot general interest comes before them : and instead of one parly throwing obstacles in the wav of any measure which bids fair to promote the good of the people, because it is introduced by the other, all seem to unite their energies pro hunt) publico, ef forts will be made by the representation of Rich mond, to do something for the city of Augusta. I hope, 1 have reason to believe, that it will succeed. The principal subjects as yet submitted to the Le gislature are the road law : the gaming law j the gold and silver mines of the state ; the bill to com pensate Grand and Petit Jurors—which was lost in tin- House—and other matters, of which, and of the, above, I will inform you fully as soon as the Legis lature shall have acted upon them. I" Office of the Augusta Insurance, ami Banking Com pany, 1 4 October, 1829, Sin—l have the honor to submit in obedience (o' law, for the information of the Legislature, the sub joined expose of the present state and condition of lite Augusta Insurance and Ranking Company. In conformity to the law creating the Institution, one hundred and ten thousand dollars was paid into the hands of the Commissioners appointed under the act of incorporation in specie, and the bills of Char- 1 tcred Ranks in good credit in the State, and shortly thereafter (the election of Directors and Officers t having been made,) the institution went into full operation. In (lie brief period which has passed, subsequent to its organization, the loss sustained by fire and water amounts in the aggregate to 68,591 Dollars, which does not include the amount of loss by two fires of more recent date, estimated to be from ten to twelve thousand Dollars, the claims for which have not yet been presented, in an authenti cated form. The receipts for premiums, discounts and ex change, amounts to 40,137 18-100 Dollars, which deducted from the amount of ascertained loss, Divi dend paid and Incidental charges, Btc. leaves (with out reference to the amount of unsettled claims) a ! deficit of 40,552 31-100 Dollars, corresponding to tlie annexed exhibit under the signature of the Se cretary and Cashier. It will be perceived, that the amount of Rills in circulation, is $51,605, and that the assets of the 1 Rank pledged for their redemption, amount to 157,511 63-100 dollars ; (he whole of which, with, the exception of the notes under protest believed to] be good, can be rendered available in from 30 to 90 days, to meet any just or legal claim on the office, j I L will only further add, that no effort of private malignity, aided by the fire-brand of the Incendiary, | have been able to shake public confidence in thei ability of the Institution, to respond promptly to every just and equitable claim. This evidence of public confidence is justly appreciated, affording to the Stockholders the reasonable expectation, that at no very distant period, the Office will have triufnphed over its recent misfortunes, and have left to be divided, a sum equal to the profits usually ac cruing from the stock of similar institutions.

WE the Grand Jurors of Richmond Coun ty, for the first week of November Term, IB2d, do present as an evil, and one which j we understand prevails too generally, the| practice with printers, and publishers of. newspapers throughout the state, hut par-1 ticularly in the city of Augusta, of employ ing negroes in the different departments of their establishments ; thereby affording them the best possible means of becoming to read writing, and affording a source of informa tion to that class ot our population, which sound policy forbids. 2. We would call the attention of tiur re presentation to the state law prohibiting slaves living apart from their owners, in which the cities of Augusta, &c. are excep ted from its operation, we strongly recom mend that (he exception be removed, and that we receive the benefits of the extension >f that law over our corporation. 3. The many petty cases of assault and battery as well as others of a minor crimin al charade v, arisin a from a mixed city mm ularion, so swell the docket oi -our SitpJnor Court, as to consume a large portion#*! its term, and abstract its attention from cases of a more iinpomnt character.
