GEO:
Saturday Evening, Dec. -4,1538.
_ T,i C Bank Business.
We admit very freely, that aside
from bis course in reference to the
banks, we are pleased with the offici.t
acts of Governor Brown. and that we
have so felt all the year. His intention
to do exactly right, is so apparent, and
his success in converting the intention
into execution, is so great, that we have
no hesitancy in pronouncing him the
best chief magistrate that Georgia lias
had in many years. And by the way,
we note that certain of our democratic
cotemporaries are saying improper
things now and then of Mr. Brown.—
We understand the motive, and shall not
hesitate, to'disclose it at the r
time.
Nor do we find it at all difficult to
feel thus towards Governor Brows,
though our opinions touching certain
matters differ from his very materially,
the variance being not so much in fun
damental principle as in present policy.
For instance, we do not look upon the
hank question precisely as one might
understand him to view it, judging from
his official course. True, from the
phraseology of his message, one might
fall into the error of supposing that
the Governor was imbued with a spirit
of personal hostility towards the sol
vent and worthy banks of our btate ;
but such, we are very confident, is not
the fact. He only failed to express
with precision what he meant ; he was
unfortunate in his method of discussing
the subject. We apprehend a fair state
ment of his opinions to be somelh'ig
like this ; that the whole banking sys
tem of the United States, is based upon
a bad radical principle, while he would
freely confess that most of the bank
ing institutions are in no way responsi
hie for the faulty foundation. And in
this we could agree with him.
We do believe that the currency oi
the country ought in no degree to rest
upon a basis which is not readily con
vertible. So long as our paper money
derives its value from resting upon se
curities which cannot be readily trails,
ferred from hand to hand,so long tiie
country will be liable to panics, when
ever a loss of public confidence may
bring the worth of these securities
in question. We regard it as a funda
mental error in the American moneta
ry system that our paper money does
not rest' upon a firmer specie basis,
but that error is chargeable to the peo
pie themselves who permitted the sys
tem to be built up ; and that exercise
of power will be tyranny|whieh seeks to
throw upon bank owners the evil con
sequences that ought to be shared by
all. In plain language, the banks of I
Georgia ought not to be held accounta
ble for errors which they do'not commit,;
move especially as by their honest man- j
agement, they have warded off from
the public the harm which must cer- j
tainly have resulted from the original j
bad principle, had the conduct of our fi j
nancial institutions been iu less worthy
hands. While our bankers protect our;
people against the evils which are lia
ble to grow out of the erroneous princi j
pie on which they are based, so long]
these bankers deserve praise and sup
port, not censure and unfair iegisla j
tion.
We shall look upon any step which
may be calculated to work injury to the
vested rights of our banks as ungrateful j
and unworthy the dignity of the State, j
It is hut right and proper that bank
men like all other citizens should com
ply with the requirements of law. If j
they do comply with law as long as it j
is on the statute hook, they may justly j
expect the people to remove any legal j
restrictions which are oppressive, but
to defy law is bad policy and can only j
end in loss to all concerned. We havej
no sympathy with such bills as that ]
introduced to the House by Fain of Fan
nin, because they do no possible good. ,
Admit that Mr. Fains’ bill rests upon a
principle at bottom sound,it by no means i
follows that after having for long years
abandoned that principle, we may now ]
endeavor to resort to it regardless of the
rights that have become property, and ,
of the condition in which we find our
selves. It is not to be supposed that a ]
diet which would give strength and vi
gor to a healthy man, will necessarily
yield the same qualities to him who is
diseased.
This attack upon small hills is going
forth to seek a contest with pigmies. If
there be great danger in a one dollar
banknote and great evils connected;
with its circulation, we cannot see how]
the dangers and evils of a fifty dollar j,
note are not fifty times as large. This],
war upop paper money grew up under! 1
the influence of last year’s panic. Is it
proposed to avoid panics for the future ?
Who cau imagine that they would be j
kept off, by banishing one or five dollar :
notes, while the tens and twenties, and j
fifties remain to fill their own place and!
that of the small notes too ? Again if i
the prohibition of small notes is to be!
the means of restoring us to a correct
system, yet the burden of the restora
tion is to be borne by those whose money
is usually small in amount, while the ;
rich will be benefited if there should j
he any benefit—and yet retain the ad-;
vantages, of a sound paper currency.!
This would let the poor carry the!
burden and the rich reap the reward.!
That iscertainiy an unfair and unwor
thy policy. o ]

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. \
The Legislature and the Supreme
Court.
Madison, Ga., Dec. 3,1853.
The outrageous decision of the Su
preme Court of Georgia, in the Bank
fraud cases in Columbus, has placed
that Court on a very low pedestal in oui
State. Justice and equity are one
v thing, and the technical forms of law
- are auotber. The rights of just and
injured creditors are paralired by a ma
jority of the Court—who have gained a
shade of infamy—which time will not
remove.
e The time is not far distant when jus
p tice betwixt parties in dispute will he
I settled by twelve “good and true men”
, as in days of old—when forms and tech
, nical niceties will not blindfold justice ;
j when every county will have a supreme
j or final Court of decision in all cases;
, when every agvieved citizen can have
. justice meted out to him by his peers
—when, what is law must he made 60 hy
men who will sit to administer justice,
, outside of ingenious arguments.
r ! The English Barons at Kunnymede,
- abolished the Supreme Court of King
t] John, and wrung from him the celebra
rj ted Magna Charta. Its first provision
set forth that “justice should neither
0 1 he bought or sold, nor should any one
, 1 suffer delay iu its administration.”
„ : We now need about the same Magna
Charta from our rulers, for if it is not
! bought and sold, it is fearfully delayed.
,! Justice would be better administered by
e j a Grand Jury, than by the decision of a
I I Supreme Court—we might not have as
, much legal grandeur, but both parties
3 in litigation would be better satisfied. —
tj Abolish the Supreme Court and justice
t i will neither slumber or sleep—much
t: trouble and expense will be saved, and
. ] the citizens of Georgia (with the excep
. tion of ahe lawyers) will honor the
x Legislature which consummates it.

“ | Dear Dispatch : —Whatahorrid thing
it is for a gentleman to have his hat
~ blown off. An accident of this sort hap
’ pened to a friend of mine a shoit time
” since, and I tell you what, he was mor

.1 of the hat, the following inventory was
I made out: One dirty handkerchief, six
II i one cent segars, three bank notices,
eight dunning notes, two notes from

v wrapped up in a bit of soiled paper,
' j and lastly, one ten dollar bill on a wild

NlUledgevllle C'oi-rcspoiiflcnce.
- j Friday, Dec. 3d, 1858.
.- 1 Senate. —After the usual preliminaries,
5 i a motion was made to reconsider a local
. bill passed on last evening, incorpora-
I ting the Elijay Gold and Copper Mining
, Company. The bill included the indi
vidual liability clause. Mr. Quillian of
Gilmer, hoped that the bill would he
reconsidered ; as it now stood, no relia
ble man, who had property, would
touch the bill. Mr. Hill, of Harris,]
1 said this restriction was necessary to he
i put there for the protection of the cred
. itors of the Company. If he could es- ]
feet it, he would include every compa-1
. ny in the State, bank, railroad, all in
| the provisions of this bill. He was op-i
'j posed to this or any other bill passing]
without it. The bill was reconsidered.
The vote shows a very decided dispo- i
silion on the part of Legislature, to in
! sert all kinds of restrictions iu charters, j
Mr. Hill, of Harris, introduced the
J amendment.
Mr. Tucker, of Stuart, said tiiat
] hereafter in every charter of railroad,
; bank, milling, mining, or for any other
] purpose, except to incorporate a town
] or something similar, that should he
j brought up, lie should insist on this
provision. The people had been bit so
: terribly, that they demanded this pro
j tection.
Mr. Gibson, of Richmond, opposed
j the amendment with a good deal of
| earnestnesses and force. He asked the
| question, was it to the interest of the
j .State to encourage its development ?
; This is simply a local hill, and why
I object to its passage? These.restric
tions would destroy the very use of the
] bill to which it is designed to transfer ]
] it. Georgia has been built up by her
j corporations. Her system of railroads
! have been built up by her corporations,
and a step in this direction is a step
i backwards. .
Mr. Atkinson, of Camden, gave about
i the strongest reason that it should not
Ibe amended. In his county the experi
ment had been tried, and experience
had proven this fact, that if you pass ,
these kind of charters, irresponsible j
and unprincipled men would obtain con- ,
troi of them and let them break, and ,
then the farmer, who has any property.!,
will have to pay it all. This clause
called on a man to sacrifice too much, ] j
and no one would touch it. (
Mr. Bryan, of Wayne, opposed the I ]
amendment; he said that Yankeesh
would come here, marry our girls and ] j
go right strait to manufacturing. He ,
corrected himself this morning; he!j
meant to be understood as going into ,
the business of manufacturing.
Any bill that incorporates anything ]
will hardly pass during this Legislature ,
without that clause. )
special order. t
To pardon Burton A. Brook’, of Har- ,
ris county. The bill was lost by ayes j
42, nays 54.
A resolution was then passed to in- i
struct the Superintendent of tire W. &
A. lb R., to prosecute certain securities j
on the bonds of defaulters to said road, i
third reading. ,
To allow aliens to purchase property i
in this State. Mr. Stubbs, of Bibb,
wished to make the provisions of the
hill apply only to Union, Lumpkin,
I Dade, Fannin and Gilmer counties— ;
! lost.
| Mr. McDonald, of Ware, to insert
Ware—lost.
j Some of the Senators seemed to think
that the time had arrived to put into
practice some of their Know Nothing
, (American) principles.
Mr. Reynolds of Newton said, that
j this was but an effort to inaugurate a
; principal that would certainly lead to
! the ruin of the State.
4)en. Cone, Reynolds, and Farnbro'
argued forcibly against the bill, and
| urged that under its provisions, aliens
: might buy a controlling interest in our
j seaports, or purchase our wild lauds to
] furnish timber for their navy. The
bill paved the way for a dangerous in
flux of foreigners, and foreign influence,
which might result in making portions
of our country colonies of the Euro
pean States. The bill was lost, ayes 11,
nays 85. So you see, when it comes to
principle, outside of party pressure, there
is Btill an “intense American feeling,
animating our people to beware of the I
insidious wiles of foreign influence.”

1 Several spoke on this hill. The poli-j
1 cy of the introducer seems to be to eu- ;
. slave every free negro who has the mis
■ fortune to excite the cupidity or hatred,
, of some low white man who may claim ]
him, and then to deprive the negro of 1
* the right of atrial.
* The bill was lost by Ayes 62. Nays 34.
The Senate then adjourned until 9'

House. —After the usual preliminaries. ]
the loss of the hill to build a new Peni
tentiary, was reconsidered.
Also—To render more speedy, certain
j collections, was reconsidered,
A motion was made to reconsider tire
bill to organize a new county from
| Habersham, Hall, Franklin and 'Jack
son. The motion was lost by, Ayes 54.
! Nays 84.
’ A resolution, that the Stale relin
t quish its claim to a certain lot of land
- in Columbus, was passed.
Also—To furnish certain books to the
Chocktaw Nation, was passed.
Also—To request out- Representatives
s in Congress to use their influence to
5 ] give Georgia her portion of the public
cj domain. On the adoption of this reso
-1 lution there arose some debate,
j The whole subject was then referred
.! to the Committee on the State of the
1 republic by Ayes 119, Nays 21, with the
- understanding that the committee were
, to report on to-morrow.
1 A bill was then passed to change the
times between a great many counties.
Tire House then took up the bill to
request the Governor to withold his sub
' scription to tire Main Trunk Road, un
] less they carried out the original survey. I
] [ Mr. Cook the introducer of the bill was
. sent for, and when he had made his ap
■ J pearance a violent debate arose. It
! seems that the Company designed at;
•j one time to run the road in one direc-;
] tion, and may have promised it. But!
] be that as it may, they find that it is]
cheaper to run the road different and,
i they desire so to do. The persons who ]
will he left off of the road by this
] change desire to break the whole thing
up They desire to kill the road by re- ;
I questing the Governor to withold thej
State's part of the subscription. We
] do not think that they desire to kill the
road |in toto, but if this measure is
] passed, capitalists will touch the whole ]
; matter very carefully. The House ad
journed without taking any definite ac- j
! tion.
We will not close without noticing
; our worthy Messenger, Mr. Brewster.!
and also our active Door Keeper, Mr.
Ahead, of the Senate. Their efferts to j
please always meet with success. And]
their many acts of kindness and accom- j
modation entitle to the thanks of them j
Reporters. Our wish is -that they may
return home with well earned plaudit, j
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” I
Franklin’s Sou.
Speaking of the son of Dr. Franklin, j
the Newberry Herald says :
As the name of Franklin is ever]
prominent before the public, it may not ]
be uninteresting to give some account]
of his only son, William, about whom]
we think little is known by the public!
at large. Unlike his father, whose!
chief claim is for the invaluable services]
he rendered his country in her greatest ;
need, tire son was from the first to the j
last a devoted royalist. Before tire i
Revolutionary war he held several civil! 1
and military offices of importance. At 1
the commencement of the war he held j
the office of Governor of New Jersey, ]
which appointment he received in 1773. ]
When the difficulties between the moth- {
er country and the colonies were com- 1
ing to a crisis, he throw his whole influ- 1
ence in favor of loyalty, and endeavor- 1
ed to prevent the Legislative Assembly '
of New Jersey from sanctioning the pro
ceedings of tire General Congress of ]
Philadelphia. These efforts, however, ]
did hut little to stay the tide of popu- :
lar sentiment ill favor of resistance of j
tyranny, and soon involved him in dis- ]
fienlty. He was deposed from office by ]
the Whigs, to give place to William
Livingston, and sent a prisoner to Con- !
uectieut. where he remained two years ]
in East-Winsor, in the house of Capt. !
Ebenezer Grant, near where the The- ]
ological Seminary now stands. In 1775
he was exchanged, and soon after went '
to England. There he spent the re- ]
mainder of his life, receiving a pension
from the British Government for the loss 1
lie sustained by bis fidelity. He died in.
1813, at the age of 82.
As might have been expected, his op- 1
position to the cause of liberty, so dear
to the heart of his father, produced an 1
estrangement between them. For years '
they irad no intercourse. When, in
1784, the son wrote to his father; in his ■
reply, Dr. Franklin says :
"Nerthing has ever hurt me so much!
and affected me with such keen sensa-1
tions as to find myself deserted in my!
old age by my only son ; and not only!
deserted, but to find him taking up I
arms against me in a cause where-in
my good fame, fortune and life were all
at stake.”
In bis will, also, he alludes to the
part his son had acted. After making
some bequests, he adds :
“The part he acted against me in the]
I late war, which is of public notoriety, ;
will account for my leaving him no]
more of an estate he endeavored to do-!
prive me of.”
The patriotism of the father stands,
forth all the brighter when contrasted]
with the desertion of his son.

.Initio— Tl»e Finest City In flic World,
A Nagasaki letter, speaking °f
' the capital of Japan, into which Sr
eigners have just had a peep, says:
Jeddo, without exception, is one of
! the finest cities in the world; streets;
j broad and good, and the castle, which
i includes nearly the whole centre of the 1
| town, built on a slight eminence. There
| are three w-alls or enclosures around!
this quarter. Within the inner, the I
I Tycoon Emperor and heir apparent live.
The houses of the princes and nobles
j are palaces, and you may imagine the
; size when some contain ten thousand
followers. They arc built in regular
j order, forming wide streets, some forty ,
| yards broad, kept in perfect order; an !
i immense courtyard, with trees and gar
i dens, forms the centre of each enclos- j
I ure, in the midst of which is the house !
I of the owner ; the houses containing
■ the followers, servants, stables, &c.,
| form this large enclosure. They are
, built of one uniform shape. The gate
| ways leading to the courtyard are ex- j
| ceedingly handsome, of massive wood
i work, ornamented with lacquer and
; other devices.
From the road that leads from the
j moat to the second wall is one of the
| finest views I ever recollect seeing ; on 1
1 one side the Gulf of Jeddo, with the j
I high Hills rising beyond, while on the
other is a portion of the great city of j
Jeddo, with its trees and gardens, pic
turesque temples and densely crowded,
streets, extending as far as the eye can
reach towards the interior ; then there j
is a view- of the trees and green fields j
in the distance, far beyond a thickly j
built suburb ; but the most striking j
view of all is that close by, the well
kept green banks of tne second defence j (
rising some seventy feet from the broad ! |
moat below, with grand old cedars over :
a hundred years of age growing from
its sides. The fine timber, the lay of:,
the ground, the water in the moat, the 1
grandeur, good order, and complete
ness of everything, equal, and in some
ways, far surpass anything I have ever;
seen in Europe, or any partof the world.!
We made an expedition into the
country. ' The cottages were surround-!
ed with neatlyjclipped hedges, the pri-!
vate residences as well railed aud kept
as any place in England. The same
i completeness and finish exist in every
thing.
The botanical gardens are very good,
; and well cared for; good nurseries of!
: young pines, cedars, Sic.

S’eth W. Fowls—Sir: You are at liberty to tis-o j
the foil owing statement for the benefit of the as- ;
flic ted:
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink oi
the grave. During my sickness I was attended ,
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, hut they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Widar's Balsam of Wild >
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored !
to better health than I have enjoyed before for j
ten years. This statement may be relied upon 1
as strictly true. Betsey Perris. ■
The above certificate was given in the pre j
i -euce of IV. A. Strong, of Honesdale, who is well ■
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

; Solved!—l>R. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
j DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
j has lost the power of duly converting rood into a
! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires Its solvent power, ami the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while hi* digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while termer ted by the
j acute, physical agony of Neuralgia. Tic-duloreux
lor ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter*
! rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
l terriblolassitude which proceeds from a lack of
I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
j or disability arisingfrom the unnatural condition
* of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
-1 cry member with the source of sensation, mo
; tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
| from the use of this Cordial, which atoncccalms,
j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization. m
f emales who have tried it are uffhnimo s in j
, declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon Unit j
; woman has ever received from the hands of!
! medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, inv
I mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite
! While it renews the strqpgth of the digestive j
! 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 Pharmacopia.
| if long life and the vigor necessary to its en- j
I joymect are desirable, this medicine is indeed of j
i precious worth
! Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j
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-j
| sion, the individual suffering from general de |
; bility or from the weakness of a single organ |
j vrillall find immediate and permanent relief from !
i the u e of this incofnparable reu »vator. To!
• those who have a predisposition to paralysis it 1
i will proven complete and unfailing safe guard j
against that terrible malady. There are many!
! perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- j
l tion that they think themselves beyond the reach'
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re j
lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove J
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-,
stitution

A Liver Remedy.—'The
Lijer, according to Physiologists, occupies in
our human economy a place second only to the •
heart, and consequently is one of the greatest (
dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness [
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
performance of its duties is to keep the system 1
in a state ot health, and free from all bodily ids. .
Dr. Saxdford’s INVIGORATOR is a great Regu
lator ok tuk Liver. It instills into it new life
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, 1
curing the lountain from whence so many
.streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
