(Jrbcn’mg flrspatcli. 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. s i ' Bestham. s ! j poedorhymlc No. 4. “ | 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 | titled some. On picking up the contents .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 , - young ladies, (my friend is a married v wrapped up in a bit of soiled paper, ' j and lastly, one ten dollar bill on a wild _ | cat bank. 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.” ATTERNOON SESSION—BILLS ON TIIIER PAS SAGE.

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' . 1 2 A. M., to-morrow. 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.

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. |_- ~ Too Tree.—An exchange whose voca tion requires him to travel ail over this I country, has been amusing himself by : gathering statistics of politeness and | boorishness among men and women j traveling by cars and steamboats.
