dtmrnig flispatcb. AUGUSTA. GA: Tuesday Evening, August 17, 1838. The Supreme Court and the Colum bus Bank Case. The public mind has recently been di rected to the late “scene” in the Su preme Court at Macon, and the atten dant decision [in the case of the bill holders of the Planter’s and Mechan ic’s Bank vs Alexander Robinson.— The newspapers have contained some severe strictures upon the decision, and j on Judge Benning for presiding in the j case ; in one or two counties indigna-j tion meetings have been called, and the decision meets with general and most j bitter denunciation. And unless all the circumstances are thoroughly un derstood, and a proper remedy applied, j it is likely te result in destroying, in a very deplorable degree, the respect of. the people for a tribunal so essential to our judiciary system. We, therefore, deem it proper to pre sent our readers an outline of the rise and progress of this case, and of cer-' tain facts relative to it, which we de- 1 rive from the decisions of the Supreme Court as noted in the Georgia Reports, and from other cases involving the same issue in the Superior Courts at Macon and Columbus. We regret to use the names of individuals in our investiga tions, hut the subject is one of such graTC importance that we deem it pro per to use such points as we derive from the public record of the courts, in placing properly before the public the details of this affair. We shall not reflect on the integrity of the presiding judges, hut we expect to show, that there was some ground for the charge,j made at the time Judge Benning took his seat, that he was elected because he j would reverse the Bank decisions; and j that there were considerations of deli- 1 cacy which—aside from any pledge or j previous intentions, and independent of j preserving the dignity and stability of the Court—would have deterred some j men from presiding. Our object is, not to reflect on the motives of individuals, but to show how this decision has been brought about, and to show the neces-; sity of Legislative enactment to prevent the decisions of the Supreme Court from being reversed. A few such grievous innovations as this, and the decisions of our Court of Errors, will be as uncertain as the verdict of a petit jury, and afford as little protection to J the cause of public justice. We have published the letter of Wm. Douherty, Esq., counsel for the Plain-; tiff, to the Savannah Republican, in which some points of the case were al luded to, but as the decision of the Court had not then been given to the public, we have reserved all comment until it came to hand. The decision is "before ns, and we present it to our read ers as a novelty in the history of juris prudence. It is as follows : “It being the opinion of the Court that the Court below should, as request ed, have charged the jury as follows : that if the charter of the Planter's and Mechanic's Bank expired by its own limitation, on the Ist of January, 1856, such expiration extinguished the Plain- j tiff’s debt, and that he could not re cover.” Lumpkin J. dissenting. By this decision the highest tribunal j in the State has endorsed a principle, j which shields a corporation in repudia ting its most solemn obligations, and protects a system of fraud which cannot be satisfactorily defended. It establishes the broad and dangerous; precedent that a bank may obtain a, charter for a certain period, flood the! country with its bills and close its doors, leaving the deluded and defrauded pub lie no chance of redress, while those who perpetrated the swindle luxuriate in their ill-gotten gains, and leave the heritage of infamy to their posterity. Such a proposition is revolting: it iB in defiance of all precedent, and of legis lative enactment, and may well be re garded an outrage upon the comm nest principles of justice. Tho proposition that the debts of corporations are extinguished by their dissolution, so far as relates to the bro ken banks of Columbus, has been four 1 times decided by the Supreme Court, 1 and in every instance it was ruled that < their debts are not extinguished by their j dissolution. It was first deciced in 1850, ( Judges Lumpkin and Nesbitt on the ( Bench, Judge Warner being absent. ( The language of the Court on that oc casion was “that this right of the bill holder. to sue the stockholder, beiug' one which he may assert as much after , as before dissolution,” &c., &c. Lane vs. Morris, 8 Ga. Rep. 468. The next time the question came be fore the Court, was in 1851, Judge Warner being then present, making a full Bench, when, after the most elabo rate argument, the decision made by Jndges Lumpkin and Nesbitt was affirm ed by tbe unanimous Court. See Thornton vs. Lane— ll Ga. 459. Here it rested for nearly three years, ! until Judge Bennino came on the Bench, when it was brought again before the Court in 1854, in a case fiom Macon, of Moultrie vs. Smiley, 16 Ga. 298, i when Judges Lumpkin and Starnes de cided the question as it had been be-* fore, and Judge Penning dissented. | The next and last time, until the re ' cent case, it came before the Court in Macon, in 18-55, when Judge McDonald concurring with Judge Lumpkin, deci ded that as to the Planter's and Me chanic's Bank, its debts were not extin . guished. See Robison vs. Lane, 19 Ga, j 337. Here we have four decisions against this absurd proposition. These, it would seem, should have been enough to protect the billholders, and set the matter at rest. But even this is not 1 all. The Legislature in 1855, before it ; was pretended that the charter of the J P. & M. Bank had expired, passed agen j eral law, applicable to all corporations, declaring that upon their dissolution, , whether by forfeiture or expiration, ' their debts should not be extinguished, j See Acts of 1855 and 1856, under the head of “Judiciary.” Thus, it will be seen, that in making this decision, not only the previous re peated adjudications of the Supreme Court have been disregarded, but the will of the Legislature set at open de fiance. The question naturally arises, and is | becoming very general—why such wan ton and total disregard of authority and legislative will—such forcible vio lation of private rights ? We shall pre sent some considerations in our next, which will throw some light on this branch of the subject. A Year of Plenty. From all quarters of the globe there is high promise of an abundant harvest. With the exception of the floods on our Western rivers, we hear of no prevail ing cause of disaster to the growing crops, while generally the reports are of the most flattering character. A large crop of Wheat and an unprece-; \ dented yield of corn, with an ample supply of the other small grains is al j ready secured, and perhaps there has. j never been a more cheering prospect for . | the cotton-grower. In England and France the same grat ifying prospects are reported, and the j harvest has already begun, with the most favorable weather. The yield of j the vine is also said to be very large, the disease that has so long afflicted it j | having been mastered. To the South, the prospect is especial ly cheering. Grain-growing regions may find low prices and a dull market for their surplus crops, while we have an abundance for our own use, and some to spare, and a cotton crop besides, which always commands a very ready market at remunerating prices. We \ should, therefore, be the most content ed, and happy, and thankful people on earth, as we are unquestionably the most highly favored. 6*7" Twenty-eight bales Cotton had been received in New Orleans, up to the 13th inst., by the Jackson Railroad, six 1 of which were of the new crop. Twenty-two bales were received by a steamer at Mobile, on the the 13th, nine of which were of the new crop. i<r The Vicksburg True Southron says : the five river counties of Mississippi— j Bolivar, Coahoma, Issaquena, Tunica and Washington, containing taxable ' property to the value of over forty mil j lions of dollars—contain less than sis : teen hundred voters.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- I DULL.— I The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach I has lost the power of duly converting food into a j life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single i course »f this extraordinary tonic. The gastric i fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude ; nutriipent. which was a load and a burthen to } tho sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the i wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j terriblelassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the nunaturalcondition | of the wonderful machinery which connect s ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives hnmedpte benefit from the use of this Cohdial, which atoncecalms, invigorates acd regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that \vom%n has ever received from the hards of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astoirsbing effect upon the appetite While it renews the strength of the digestive , powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be- subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharroaeopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ! sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediatenndpermanent relit f from the use of this incomparable reno.aior.
