Senator Morgan on National Fi
nances—Opposing the Abolition of
the Legal Tender Quality of Green
backs.
Mr. Morgan, speaking on his question,
Said: It was antagonistic to tlie resolu
tion recently offered by the Senator from
Delaware,''(Mr. Bayard) though the prin
ciple of that resolution might be theori-
cally correct, there was danger of going
too fast in its enforcement. Wc are too
prone to think our existing prosperity per
manent. Other countries, however, are
beginning to undersell us hi our own
markets, anil it is not improbable that wc
will thus lose much of our advantage in
the foreign markets also. If this occurs,
we shall have need of all the good sound
money wc can get and i>ossibly more to
prevent a calamity.
The movement represented by Mr. Bay
ard’s resolution, is urged on chiefly by the
great capitalists, and although their opin
ions are entitled to great weight, their
financial skill is not easily diverted from
tlieir own welfare to the interests of other
classes. New- York is the great financial
centre, ami the Treasury Department docs
not seem to lie able to carry on its opera
tions without thc aid of New York bank
ers, but it docs not follow that the inter
ests of money centres are antagonistic to
those of the whole country. Capital re
sults from the labor of the people, and
slxiuld not he organized against them, as
it is in this movement to destroy the legal
tender quality of greenbacks.
Our people have confidence in our
pajx-r money, because they know it rests
on their credit anil they are determined
anil able’ to pay it in coin. Capitalists,
liowover, wish to be able to lend national
bank notes to people and pay them for
tlieir crops in currency, but when the peo
ple pay tlieir debts capitalists demand tlie
description of money whose volume shall
be entirely within tlie control of the na
tional banks. If there ever was a time
when thc legal tender clause should have
been abolished, it was when notes were
below par. People had tried to maintain
this currency through war and calamity
in the face of oppressive laws to keep it
down, and, when they had been success
ful, it was attempted to be destroyed by
with very heavy loss. The Chilians were ' n , en engaged in tbe business of manipu-

London, December 17.—Bast night’s

THE SDPBEME C0TJBT.
Decisions Bendered December 16,
1879—Hon. Hiram Warner, Chief
Justice, Hon. James Jackson and
Logan E. Bleckley Associate Justi
ces.
Weaver et al. vs. Thornton, Ordinary,
for use. Debt, from Greene.
Warner, C. J—This was a suit on a
guardian’s bond against the principal
therein and his securities, alleging as a
breach thereof the non-payment of the
sum of $456, besides interest, found to be
due the plaintiff by the judgment of the
Court of Ordinary. On the trial of the
case, the jury, on the charge of the court,
found a verdict for the plaintiff for the
sum of $503. Amotion was made for a
new trial on the grounds therein stated,
which was overruled, and the defendants
excepted. It appears from the evidence
in the record that the plaintiff introduced
the judgment of the Court of Ordinary.
It also appeared that Alonzo C. Jackson,
the principal in the bond, was the admin
istrator on the estate of John S.
Jackson, and that tbe plaintiff,' Isaac
C. Jackson, was one of the dis
tributees of his estate, and that Alonzo
C. Jackson was his guardian. It further
appears that on the 2Gth of Decem
ber, 1874, A. C. Jackson, as guardian, re
ceipted himself as administrator for the
sum of $1,300. The defendants introduced
in evidence the returns of the guardian to
the court of Ordinary from which-that
court made the calculation when it ren
dered judgment against him. The defend
ants also proved by the guardian himself,
that no property of any kind passed into
his hands about the time the receipt was
given, but it was given in order to wind up
the estate and release the securities on his
administration bond. Thc court cliaiged
the jury, among other things, that if they
believed from the evidence, that Alonzo C.
Jackson, as guardian of Isaac M. Jackson,
receipted himself as administrator for any
amount, and cliaiged himself with the same
in his annual returns to the Ordinary,then
he must he chaiged with such amount as
cash, and the securities on his guardian’s
bond are estopped from proving that no
property of any kind passed into his hands
when such recepts were given, the securi
ties as well as tlie guardian being bound
by the receipts, whether any property
passed or not.” The court further charged
the jury “to examine the returns made by
A. C. Jackson as guardian, and decide
from these returns whether or not the
guardian, or his security, are liable, and
to ascertain from the Ordinary’s calcula
tion or from the returns whether or not the
Ordinary’s estimate of the sum due is cor
rect, and if not to rectify the same.” The
judgment of the Ordinary based on the
guardian’s returns was only prima facie
evidence as against tlie securities, and
hence the first part of the charge was too
strong upon that point, but when taken in
connection with the latter part of it, we
perceive no material error in view of the
evidence in the record. There is no evi
dence that there was nothing due from
tho administrator for which the guardian
receipted, that was not what securities
attempted to prove. When A. C. Jackson
as guardian receipted himself as A. C.
Jackson, administrator for the sum of
$1,300, that was such an act on his
part, the legal effect of which was
to transfer that amount from his
hands as administrator into his hands as
guardian, and he was properly chargea
ble with that amount as guardian,
whether any property passed into his
hands at that time or not; he had it al
ready in his hands in the character of ad
ministrator, and receipted for it as guar
dian, and his securities as such guardian
arc prima facie liable for it on their bo'nd,
and there is no evidence in the record to
rebut that prima facie liability, and there
fore the guardian and his securities were
legally bound to account for it. It ap
pears, however, from the guardian’s re
turns that he is entitled to a credit of-$l,-
044.42 for cash paid his ward in January,
1870, and the ordinary only allowed him
a credit of $1,000 in the settlement of liis
accounts for. which the judgment wqs-reu-
'dered. The judgment of the court below
is therefore reversed, unless the plaintiff
shall consent to write off from the verdict
the sum of $44.42, and in the event of his
doing so, then the judgment of the court
below to stand affirmed.
Judgment reversed on terms.

the notes, the subject matter of the suit,
were barred by the statute of limitation at
the time that said suit was commenced
upon them in the justices’court, which
motiou to dismiss said ease was overruled
by the court, and the defendant says the
court erred iii said ruling.
4. Because the court erred in its-chaige
to the jury, that the statute of limitations
was suspended and did not nm as against
said notes (the subject matter of tho suit),
during tho period of time from the death
of Reuben Atwell, the maker thereof, to
the granting of permanent letters of ad
ministration on his estate.
5. Because the court erred in its charge
to the jury, that on the death of Reuben
Atwell, the statute of limitation in its ap
plication to said uotes was suspended and
did not commence to run again at thc
time of the granting of temporary letters
of administration on the estate of Reuben
Atwell, hut that said suspension contin
ued until tlie time of granting permanent
letters of administration on his estate, at
which time the statute again commenced
to run against said uotes.
0. Because said verdict is contrary to
the evidence.
7. Because said verdict is contrary to
the law. - - '
8. Because said verdict is contrary to
the law and the evidence.
When said motion for new trial was
heard, counsel for movant submitted to
the court with the brief of evidence the
affidavit of Bryant McDaniel, who swore
that he was an attending physician with
said Reuben Atwell during his last illness,
and that said Reuben Atwell died on the
20th day of January, 1875. On tlie heap
ing of said motion, the same wag over
ruled by the court on each and all of the
grounds stated therein. Whereupon the
defendant exeepted.
The suits in the -justice’s court were
awkwardly brought,_l)Ut. James Atwell,
one of the administrators, was a party
plaintiff', and the defendant had tiled no
plea of misnomer in tlie justice’s court,
but had confessed judgment and entered
an appeal, and we will not control the
discretion of the court below in refusing
to dismiss the case and allowing the
amendment to be made as set-forth in the
record. The notes became due on the 23d
of December, 1870; the defendant had all
of that day to pay them, and the statute
did not commence to run in his favor un
til the 24th of December, 1870. Tlie suit
notes on tiie 28th
of January, 1877. Counting out time dur
ing which the statute of limitations was
suspended, from the death of Reuben
Atwill, the intestate, on the 20th of Jan
uary, 1875, to the grant of permanent let
ters of administration on his estate, on
the 1st of March, 1875, the plaintiff’s ac
tion was not quite barred according
to our calculation at the time of the
commencement of the suits on the
notes in the justice’s court but would
have been barred if tlie running of the
statute was only suspended for the time
of the granting of the temporary letters of
administration on the 1st of February,
1S75, and tlie question is whether the run
ning of the statute was suspended from
tlie death of the intestate to the time of
tlie granting of the temporary letters, or
to tlie time of granting the permanent let
ters of administration. The 2928th sec
tion of the code declai-es that the time oc-
