The J.ate Supreme Court Decision.
After tbi repfeated failures of the par
ties interested in the broken hanks of
'-olumbnsTto secure themselves through
'.he decisions of the Supreme Court- in
addition to the vexatious delays, and
-trange combiiuUians which clogged in
vestigation Vrhereverthe cases came
up for trial, in the Court below, a des
perate expedient was resorted to, which |
lias resulted in accordance with their I
mofit sanguine expectations.- A new j
Judge was to be elected, and it was not j
hard to find one whose sympathies weie
with the friends of the hanks, and whose
uterpretation of the law was favorable
to their cause. Old hostilities were for-1
gotten, and those, who had not acted to-i
gether forbears, are said to have beseiged
the Legislature in behalf of the new can
didate. Judge Bennino was elected. The
son-in-law /of Col/ Seaport* Jones; his
former partner, he is indirectly interest
ed in hia estate, and Col. Jokes was a
Stockholder in one of the broken banks
of Columbos, and suits against him as
such, involving large sums, are now
pending in Muscogee Superior Court.—
By the decision which Judge Binning j
has been instrumental in making, these I
, ases, involving tens of thousands of j
dollars, will be swept away, and his,
father-in-law relieved to that extent.
The estate of McDugald also, a former
client of Judge Bennino, is interested
to the amount of about half the capi
tal stock of the Bank, which was own
ed by him, arid which is all extinguish
ed by the recent decision of Judge Bkn
vixo, and his client relieved of the pay
ment of that amount.
We allude to this to show the ex
treme delicacy of the position occupied
by Judge Bennino, and which, in the
opinion of many of bis late friends and
admirers;, should have deterred him
from presiding, as much from a
regard for his own reputation, as for
the preservation of the Court from
fickleness, or from the possible charge
of personal interest on the part of a
presiding judge. Judge Benning 9 con
nection with these cases, would have
rendered it a very delicate matter for
him to sit as a juror upon them. And
if it would have been unbecoming fer
him to sit as a juror, is it not a grievous i
and most indelicate innovation for him I
Jo sit upon them in the Court of Errors, j
to reverse the decision of four courts :
before him, and override the enactment;
of the Legislature?
We have not alluded to the part en
acted by Judge McDonald in this de- j
cision, because he was not connected 1
with any of the cases before his election. |
and had no personal interest at stake.
He has doubtless good aud sufficient
reasons for the change in his opinions
since the decision of 1855.
In our investigation of this subject
we have been actuated by a desire to di
rect public attention to the necessity of
-oanc change in the organization of the
Supreme Court. With a few precedents
like this the public will lose all respect
for its adjudicatioa- as a Court of Er->
rors, if in indignation they ■ do not cry 1
out for its suppression as a judicial nuis j
ance. It is to aid in fortifying public!
sentiment against such a result that we •
would awaken general attention to this;
late decision, to the end that the next j
Legislature may be prepared intelligent
ly to throw around it wholesome safe
guards, by providing against changes
in its decisions, and such other whole
some regulations as may make it an
honor to the State, and forever secure ■
it from the appearance of corruption, ,
and from the errors of individual ,
judgment.
Louis Ntpolesu.
The inauguration of tho great naval ,
harbor at Cherbourg is another triumph |
of Louis Napoleon. Under Iris auspices. ! (
(says the Richmond Dispatch,) a work is j,
completed which not only adds largely j t
to the naval efficiency of France, but i e
renders practicable a sudden invasion of j t
England, before a chanr.ej licet could be j j
assembled t<s oppose it. .The London! f
Tima has lately declared Cherbourg top
be “a standing threat” of Great Britain.j,
and connected as it is with Paris-by a
railroad whicli could easily transport
large masses of troops to the harbor,
it is not difficult to believe that the
Times may be more than half right.
Whilst Napoleon may not desire a rup
ture with Great Britain, it cannot he
pleasant to his illustrious ally to see
the advantage which the French pos- ,
sess for a sudden descent upon the Brit- .
ieh Isles, whenever it suits their inclina- ,
tion. And, notwithstanding his pacific ,
policy, the Emperor may well indulge ,
a gratifying consciousness of power ;
when he beholds Victoria, accompanied ’
by two hundred members of the Brit-1
jsh Parliament, gracing by ,their pres
ence this grand trinmph pf France. He
is now the master of Europe Ob lani,
and if he lives long enough, it will not
be his fault, if the. Imperial Sceptre
does not throw 'along and broad shadow
over the sons.

We were shown a letter this morning,
1 from a responsible party in Charleston^,
I stating that the Yellow Fever was pre
vailing to an alarmiug extent, wd in a
j very malignant form in that city. Grit
!of seven taken to Roper Hospital, fivfc
had died, and the other two wate very

Roguery In New York.
There is no end to the devices of
rogues, and if there is any place in the

it is in New York City. The latest dis

Homicide In Lincoln County.
! We learn, that on Sunday last, the
i Sheriff of Lincoln county called on Mr.
James Heggie, to assist him in arresting
a Mr. Ezekiel Jeter, who stands charg
ied with killing a negro. As they ap
j proached Jeter, he fired at them, his
’ ball taking effect in Mr. HsGgik's right
eye, producing a painful, and as is sup
posed, a mortal wound. Mr. Heooib
having a shot gun in his hands return
ed the fire, killing Jeter immediately.
Mr. Heggie is not expected to survive.
He is well and favorable known in this
city, and we sincerely hope that the
wound will not prove fatal.
From Bad; to Worse.
We see from our New York exchanges
that the ladies of that city are about
. introducing a now fashion, which we
hope will find no favor South. The new
I style of dress is said to be cool and at
tractive—no doubt but the latter is the
intention—the hack of the dreßS be -!
' tween the shoulders is cut in the shape !
ofaV., so as to display the shoulders, i
aeck and a portion of the spinal ver
tebrae, the edges of the openings being
bordered with lace and connected with
the opposite side with silk cord. What
next ? This is theage of improvement,
and it seems the ladies are determined
either to keep up with it or go-abead.
Expansions of the skirts we thought
had enough—but expanding or leaving [
open the body with the vacuum filled !
up with fine lace and silk cord—oh,

the thirty-one counties to hear from the

ing in these counties his majority would
b. 11,705. His election is deemed cer- j

throughout the the entire State. For j

Gumming, Ga., Aug. 17th, JB6B. ,
Editor IDispatch: —One of the most will
ful murders ever committed in any civ- 1
ilized country, was committed in this
(Forsyth) county, oij, the night of the ,
7th inst,, upon an un-offensive drunken 1
mAn— Vaughan of South Carolina. The J
particulars of the murder as I heard j
them to-day from .various sources are
these : As the murdered man, Vaughan
or Vaughn was returning from a Justice
Court to a neighbors house with a par
ty of friends, he was followed and kill- i
ed after night, as the murderers say, in '
mistake for another man. Vaughan's j
friends knowing the party in pursuit, i
some three or four, were bent upon 1
j threshing one es their number—jumped
off their horses and dodgkd into' the ,
j thicket, where the whole transaction i
was witnessed by them. <
Four of the murderers are now in j
Cumming Jail, and one yet out. ,
This being Court week for this couu- '
ty, it is hoped that His Honor, Judge '
Rice, will meet out justice to all.
The excitement against the murder- '
ers in this and the adjoining counties is
very high, and if their trials come on at
this term and they are set foot loose
again upon this community, there is no
doubt but some of the ring leaders will
be Lynched in less than 24 hours after
wards. In haste, Buck Horn.

fully attended. In Memphis the stock- j
holders residing there and in that vicin
i ity have had a meeting, exchanged
views and appointed a delegate to re
present them. They reiterate their
opposition to the deed of trust, and the
sale under it, as illegal and void, made[
without the knowledge, consent or rati-;
fication of the stockholders ; and express i
I their faith in the soundness of the legal j
opinion, and professional zeal and capa
city. of the legal gentlemen employed in
I Texas to contest those proceedings.—
j They express faith also in the sense of j
I justice of the State of Texas, in sustain- j
] ing the just rights of the non resident
I stockholders, arid state their apprehen
sions that continued opposition to these
| will be a prostration of the enterprise of J
all the other railroad companies within ‘
that State. It was propped to instruct j
the delegates to require a full investiga
tion of all matters connected with the
history of the company, but tho proposi
tion was withdrawn because it appears
that such an inquiry has been oidercd
by the company, and may be in readi
ness for the meeting at Louisville. 1

Finding that I have more business on my hands
than I can possibly attend to properly, and de
siring to concentrate my capital upon the Job
Department, I now offer the Southerner for sale.
This newspaper has not far from one thousand
bona jidt subscribers, exclusive of the exchange
list, which embraces tho principal journals of
this and the adjoining States. The printing ma
terials are almost altogether new, most of them
having been bought within three months past;
and the office, excepting those very few which
use machinery run by steam, is believed to be
better fitted up with conveniences and facilities
than any other in the State. The mechanical ex
ecution of the sheet, however, will show for it
self the capacities of the office.
The paper is doing an unusually good business,
has a fine run of advertising patronage, and, in
fact, could hardly be mismanaged so as not to
make money. The location is quite healthy,,
and the prospects of Rome were never so bright j
at any period in her history. A good Democrat, :
with some little means, has now an opportunity
which very seldom occurs, to establish himself.

gant, hyperbolical and fantastic titles as we sec
paraded in show-window sards, aud newspaper
headings, as hair preparations, are all humbugs
15 of tho first water ; their real merit, when they
9 possess any, is, that they do no harm. Hog’s
lard, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil, scented and
colored, make up, when in beautiful wrappers,
j and white flint glass bottles, the costliest charac
* j ter of tonics, and when thus costly, are baptised

’ g°Cure tlie Liver.—There is
an article selling throughout the country that
| has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
ehce to DR. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMF.DY, that has performed cures al
. most too great to believe, were it not for the un
, doubted evidence that accompany the testimo
-5 uials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility
3 that so often bailies the skill of our most eihincut
physicians.
I Dr. Sanford lias been for a long time one of the
3 eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
f most of his cases were treated with the luvigo
. rator with such invariable success that he has
! been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
. let the world have the benefit of his discovery,
j If those who are troubled with debility, head
j ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, will try
, a bottle, we think they might sat*e physicians’
. bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.—

(ITT lie Great Problem
Solvedl—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—TIie dysßcptic patient, whose stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting-food into a
! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
. course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
! fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
; nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
j the sufferer, while hjs digestive organization was
| paralyzed and unatrupg, becomes,, under the
i wholesome revolution created in the system, the
hasis of activity, strength and-healtb.
I The nervous sufferer, white tormbntod-W'the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, TiCtdoloreux J
or ordinary headache, afflicted with yagpe ter
j rors, wakened by periodical fits, Jfiireatened with !
paralysis, borfte down and dispirited by that 1
, terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
; or disability arising from tlie unnaturalcondition
; of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
; ery member with the source of sensation, mo- ;
>tion and thought —derives immediate benefit j
1 from th<*ttse of thfe which#! oncedtlms, t
| invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous 1
i organization.
i Females who have tried it are unanimous in J
I declaring the Elixir to bo ; tlie greatest boon that (
woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men.
Morse’s lavigoratiirg Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the#ppettye
While it renews the strength of the digestive 1
powers it creates a desire for tlte solid material (
which is to be subjected to their action. As an <■
•appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. <
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 t
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
biiity or from the weaJcness of a single organ
wi 11 all find immediateand permanent relieffrom c
the use of this incomparable renoyator. To |
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it ,
Will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard a
against that terrible milady. There are many 1
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- 1
tion that they think themselves beyond the reqeh 1
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- ;
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
| thp disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-

OUR CHEAP RCAKER CITY SEW
IDG MACHINES TRIUMPHANT.
WE are continually hearing, from
reliable that the Agents of some
' high-priced Sewing Machines are crying down
1 ortr reasonable priced ones as humbugs ; tha'.
they cannot be made to work, and that parties
who purchased ours have thrown them aside
and bought theirs in many cases. Now, wo dc
! nouncc each and all of these repoHs afffclse.’,
’ from whatever source they come.
[ Tho truth is, these opposition gentlemen very
I well know that they must kill off our low-price 1
Machines, or the enormous profit made on theirs
will be exposed, much against their intent
hence their laborious efforts to create the im
pression that our Machines are worthless hum
bugs.
To satisfy the minds of those who may desire
to purchase, but have not the opportunity of per
; sonally examining aud deciding upon its merits,
wo have taken occasion.to call on a few who
have our Machines in use, for their true and can
did opinion o’ them. They have readily and’
cheerfully responded, and tor thh frank and pub
lie expression of their sentiments, we tender
them our best thanks, and assure them ami oth
ers, who may be influenced ‘hereby, that ocr
efforts shall ever be given to merit and retain
the good opinion therein expressed.

Messrs. Haigh k Andkews— Gents: We are
using your small sized Quaker City Sewing Ma

kept in order than the more complicated high
priced Machine, and we cheerfully recommend
all who are in want of the article, to call and >:eo
yours before paying from SIOO to $l5O lor a Mn*
chiae which, In our estimation, is no better C m
these cheap household assistants. We hail this
Machine as a truly great invention, and the very
low price for which it is retailed. wiU soon place
it In almost every familv hi tlie land.

Messrs. Haigh & Andrews— Gent: . Thave had'
one of your Quaker City Sewing Machines in use
in my family for the last six weeks, and would*
take pleasure in recommending them as every
way adapted to do family sewing ; apparently
as little liable to get out of order as any of the
higher-priced Machines ; and should think, at
the low price at which they are sold, would’
place them in the haads of every family.
