MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.
Things in general—State Affairs.
Ia the political world, thare is little to interest
our readers at this time. The politics oi our own
State is at a dead calm, v.-ith scarcely a breeze to
ripple itesurface. Gov. Brown is proving himself
a financier in the management of the State Road,
which will add much to his popularity, while it
will relieve tho ears of our readers of the eternal
cty of mismanagement, chalked-hats, discrimina
tion and party bias during the next Gubernatorial
campaign. The payment of more than $300,000
into the State Treasury, as the nett earnings of the
State Road for one year, will not be viewed as an
insignificant thing by the people, who are bur
dened with tax, while it may be appropriately ap
plied to the educational resources ol the State, the
building of a University, the encouragement of
charity schools and'other enterprises in .which all
the people have a common interest.
Tits Banks are discounting liberally, and the
crops are flowing in rapidly to market. Notwith
standing the recent financial crises, confidence in
tbo Banks is fully restored-.-proving the wisdom
of the last Legislature ia not peremtorily forcing
them to specie payment, hut granting them time
as well as their creditors to redeem their promises.
Besides, the bill which was passed for their relief,
provides a security in the future for a like flue
tuation in the money market.
The little exciiemant about the Supreme Court
has passed a*ay—all agreeing that the Judges of
the Supreme Court are more skilled in the law
than the masses of the people, who have been
called upon to pronounce a judgment as to lie
accuracy of its interpretation. Tne Directors of
the Main Trunk Railway—the great road which
is to run through the Southern part of the State |
—are going ahead with their business, nolwitli- I
standing there is some objection to the line of
rout* selected.
All obstacles, we imagine, however, will be fi
nally removed and thecotton growing Counties of
Southern and South-Western Georgia will find a
speedy outlet for their great staple.
A lew works of internal improvement are in
progress, dependent upon individual enterprise,
while others, in contemplation, are awaiting the
meeting oi the next Legislature to receive the aid
and credit of the State.
The Deal and Dumb Academy, which received
a large and bountiful appropriation from the State,
is in process of erection at Macon, and will reflect
honor and credit upon the generosity and benevo
lence of Georgia when completed. So much for
the affairs of our own State. May she keep pace
with thejprogre.-s of the age and ever boa bright
star in the constellation ot States.
‘ ‘Short Crop" —Savannah Republican
The Savannah Republican likens the appre
hension of a short cotton crop, now generally felt
and expressed throughout the cotton-producing
section, to the cry of “woiD* in a familiar fable.
To Borne extent we agree with our coternporary
as to the applicability of the story to the disposi
tion ofthe planter to cry “short crop,” while upon
the correctness of the moral w hich the fable is
intended to convey, our views are entirely coin
cident. If the apprehension were never expressed
except upon reliable and truthful grounds, the
credibility of such testimony would, of course,
be greatly enhanced. That the fears ot present
entertained.however, are just ap.d well-founded—
(which the Republican seems to doubt)—that there
.is a “wolf” this time, we arowell satisfied.. In
order to make a good yield, it is necessary that
the cotton plant should retain ‘and perfect the
fruit, ora large portion of it, which conios upon
it in the months of July and August. Those are,
in the consideration of all planters, the cotton
making months. The reported condition of the
crop in the great West, is general rumor, which
we have no means of authenticating; but we do
know that in Eastern and South Eastern Alabama
and In Western and South-Western Georgia, the
rust has almost entirely ooliterated every trace of
the August fruit This disaster attacked tire
plant ia the latter part of July, and the rapidity
with which it has spread finds, perhnps.no paral
lel in former years. Its appeal ance was anticipa
ted trom the lact that grass, corn, and almost ev
ery species of vegetation suffered from it, hut the
extent of the havoc it has wrought far exceeds our
most sanguine calculations*
The editor ot the Savannah Republican made
a visit, in a late spring or early summer of this
year, to a friend and a good farmer residing a
short distance from this city. From his observa
tions during that visit, we presume he imbibed a
portion of his faith in an abundant crop. If be
can find leisure to repeat his visit to the same
neighborhood, he wiii now see a very different
prospect-and if he will come only twenty miles
further west, we engage to introduce him to
something still more gloomy
We are included in tile following remark* of
the Republican. “Last spring, when the prospect
was so fino that none could find it in his heart to
grumble, it was thought unadvishble by many to
give the truth to the world, as it might affect the
price ” We are one ofthe many who condemned
the conduct of those who insisted upon parading
before the public early blooms and bolls and
large cotton stalks, and wo thought that a planter
might employ his negroes at much more
profitable work than scouting for cotton blos
som*. The result has demonstrated the wisdom
ofthe advice. By such pledges they gave assu
rance of a large crop which no amount of coun- :
tervalling testimony can shake- Its effect is per
ceptible in the article ot the Republican. This j
treatment, however, we believe is unfair to the i
planter. If he can tell the truth about “blooms” |
and “bolls,” his statements can also be credited j
in respect to “rust” and “worms,” and his evidence j
having lieen received upon the former point, by
our cotemporary, both rule and justice require |
him to accept it upon the lattor, without disparag- |
ing comment.

Messrs. Editors: A correspondent who
appropriates io his own use the attractive
name of “Truth,” in pretended - reply,to
another who uses the name of “Justice,”
has thought proper to introduce into lxis
Communication my name and to make such
allusion thereto as, io my judgment, de
mands a “passing notice.”
Newspaper controversies are not to my
taste, and I would that 1 could feel at lib
erty, even upon a the advice and solicitation
of valued friends, to avoid this. Few who
have been so actively, yet humbly engaged
in the exciting scenes and strifes ot proles
sionat life, have more anxiously and ‘more
successfully avoided them. In the contests
in which it has been my fortune to partici
pate—usually for others, rarely tor my self—
I have sought the ear and judgment of the
Courts, rather than the prejudices and
passions of tho populace ; and when de
feated before the one, have not felt at liber
ty to appeal to the other.
“Truth,” I suppose, ineited thereto by
the allusion of “Justice,” to the large per
sonal interest of Mr. Dougherty in certain
Bank cases, comes forward to set off that
charge by pleading that I, too, had a per- :
sotial interest in the same litigation, and to
define that interest. If this writer intended
to throw himsell upon the principles of the
iaw of set-oif, lie should have remembered
that they do not apply unless demands are
mutual. If the one exists legitimately, and
the other by purchase, the plea will not pte
vail. And so of interests in law suits, if
one interest, for the purpose of effecting re
sults or character, is to be set off against
! another. Tile natureand origin of my sup- j
j posed interest will be presently shown ; j
and if it be true, as has been urged before j
the Courts, that Mr. Dougherty’s interest j
has been purchased by a large investment j
of professional labor and the hazard of the j
costs of a most extensive litigation, then
there is an absence of that mutuality which
will allow the one to beset off against the
other. “Truth,” in allusion to a cer
tain discussion before the Supreme Court
and to mvself, says that “lie (I) had a
personal interest—having held at onetime ]
four hundred and eighty-eight shares, and I
his lather-in-law, M, YV. Perry, over thir
teen hundred shares of the stock of this j
broken Bank, and liable for ils hills to that j
extent.
It is true, that the number of shares, us
stated, were at one time transferred to my
name, and for a brief period remained thus
transferred. It is untrue, that while they
were so held, they were the “shares of a
broken Bank.” On tlie contrary, it is true.
and by ihe sworn and uncontradicted evi
dence of the best informed and most credi
ble witnesses, that while these shares were
in my name as a stockholder, the Bank was
abundantly solvent, and so remained for
three years after my connection with it ceas- j
ed, and was made known as having ceased j
by the semi-annual publication of its list of j
stockholders.
My connection with this Bank as a stock- j
holder, was simply and briefly this: Early !
in its history, Gen. S. Armstrong Bailey— 5
esteemed by all who knew him as a high- j
| minded, honorable and ehivalric gentleman
—asked my leave to have transferred to I
my name one lmndied and eighty-eight;
shares ; and I gave it, without asking his ]
motives, satisfied then and nmr that neith- \
er wrong to myself, fraud*upon others, nor j
any concealed or sinister purpose, influen- ;
ced the request!
Os the shares held by Maj. Perry, he had j
previously transferred to himself, as Trust- 1
ire for his daughter—whom it was my for
tune to marry in 1838—throe hundred, and
those he subsequently transferred to me.
As early as October,* 1839, these shares
were transferred bv me, and thus com
menced, continued and ended my connec
tion with them, and in any form with this I
Bank —which, 1 repeal, was made known
io ail concerned by a semi-annual publi
cation during the years 1840—’41—’42
Over tiiis stock I do not now remember
ever to have exercised any control. I may
have done so. The transaction has grown ;
very old, and memory may be at fauft.
Hare I am. that I paid nothing for it, and j
derived from it no manner of benefit.— j
“Truth” says that 1 am liable to its extent ]
for the redemption of the bills ofthe Bank, i
This may be so. It is a question of law, i
and this 1 have no purpose now to dis- ]
cuss.
But I presume, as “Truth” comes before ;
the public to censure and condemn the j
conduct of Judges, to assert the liability j
of parties, to contrast the respective person- I
al interests of Mr. Dongherty and myself, I
and to complain ot the persecutions of Mr. i
D., that he too is not without a personal in !
terest in this litigation.
Acting upon this presumption, and pre- j
ferring to “agree with mine adversary by !
the wayside,” I propose, him a compro
mise which may save him the delay of lit
igation, Ihe hazard of costs, or the sacrifice
of half his claim for its collection.
If he or anvfionorable man will present
me the bills oi’this Bank held by him while
my name appeared as one of its stockhol
ders, or while the Bank Imd a legal exis
tence—and held upon the faith of its hav
ing once so appeared, or upon any belief
on his part that I was liable for their pay
ment until after such liability was discov
i ered and announced by a construction of
j the law which, however just and right it
may be, is without a precedent to sustain
j it—then to the extent of the moderate earn
l ings of a laborious life 1 will promptly re
l deem all such bills.
Is “Truth” willing to have payment upon
j any other terms ? Is lie willing to make
I the measure of his acquisitions what he
can happen to get? I submit, that the
great principles of truth itself, and the ob
ligations of the members of society to each
other, demand only ?that |he should pay
the damages who has committed the
wrong—that he should answer the pen
alty who has violated the contract.—
“Truth,’’ for the purpose of making more
extensive my personal interest, has been
pleased to allude to the fact that Major
Perry, too, was a stockholder. I will only
add, in answer to this, that he too, about
the same time with myself, (having previ
ously removed from the State,) transferred
his stock and ceased all manner of con-j
nection with the bank—leaving it abun
dantly able to pay all its debts, and it so
continued for years thereafter.
But, Mr. Editor, “Truth,” having, I sup
pose accomplished one ot the great ends
ofhis appearance—contrasted the personal
interests of Mr. Dougherty and myself, and
thereby lessened the force of our efforts for
our clients—goes a step be;ond, and after
parading my name and tho e connected
with me as stockholders, reiterates the cry
of fraud ! fraudulent practices and purpo
ses, on the part of the stockholders of this
broken Bank ! He but repeats the lesson
as it has been taught him speaks the speech
as it has been pronounced to him. He
must, however, remember that it is one
thing to deal with men’s purses—another
to deal with their reputations. When he
seeks to prostrate judicial character and in
tegrity, to assail indiscriminately any por
tion of his fellow-citizens, he presents issues
that Courts cannot decide.
My position as a stockholder has been dis
closed, and I further define it by stating
that 1 am, and have been for ten years,
counsel for most of those who, at the in
stance of seventeen plaintiffs as bill-holders,
have pending against them some hundred
and fifty suits for the recovery of the bills
of this Bank.
Against ail who ever held stock in this
Bank this charge of fraud has been made
for ten years, and it has rested upon the
naked assertion of those who have made
and repealed it. And this I maintain by a
brief statement of stubborn facts.
The Bank was incorporated in 1836.
Early in 1837, those named in the charier
proceeded lo organize Sit—erroneously, as
has been since decided, I admit. But I
apprehend even “Truth” himself will not
deny that they acted in good faith, and
without the most remote fraudulent intent
or purpose. They were such men as S.
Armstrong Bailey, Alexander Pope, Lock
Weems, Walter T. Colquitt, Ho. A. Har
alson, King & Boring, James N. Bethune
Garnet Andrews, John 11. Lumpkin, and
others equally honorable and virtuous.
After the organization of the Bank they
did what? Concluded not to prosecute the
business of banking, and by resolutions
passed and published in the newspapers of
the day, resolved to withdraw or to divide
out in the shape of a loan—themselves ha
ving the precedence lo borrow the capital
stock of the bank. And in thus acting
whom did they defraud? whom did they
deceive? whom did they injure? Was
not the money paid in theirs—and theirs
without the shadow of a claim upon it, ei
ther on the part of the public or of individ
uals': If not, why? Who hut themselves
had a better or any claim upon it?
What principle of law, right or justice
i was it that forbid them to loan out their ca
pital stock?
Many of this class have, after being be
loved and honored in the land, gone to the
grave—leaving to their descendants and
friends, as their most valued heritage, their
good name. In behalf of those of them
who still linger on the stage of action, and
of the memories ofthe dead, if the charge
of fraud—fraudulent purposes and practi
ces—be intended against them, and it has
been made indiscriminately,! defiantly hurl
it back in the teeth of those who utter it,
as false in fact and sinister in purpose.—
He who would not stand forth, even with
his life in his hand, to shield the memories
ot Walter T. Colquitt and Hu. A. Haralson
from such aspersions, was unworthy of
their generous and ardent friendship while
they were in life. If lam not mistaken, I
will venture to “Truth” the assertion that
if a rally were cried to this end, Mr.Dough
erty himself with his stalwart arm would
be the first to answer and the last to re-’
treat
With the acts thus briefly detailed, end
ed the connection of this first class of stock
holders with the bank—they having, with
some exceptions,prior to the Spring ot 1838
transferred their stock to a class whom I
shall designate as the second.
It was these, who controlling the charter
with its capital of §250,000 vested in the
promissory notes of its stockholders, com
menced the business of Banking early in
Februry, 1838. A monetary crash bad oc
curred, and banks and individuals fell be
fore it. The Banks were, without an ex
ception, in a state of suspension. There
was no coin in the land, and the people were
not only content with, but clamorous for,
even a suspended currency.
It was at this time and under these circum
stances that these stockholders, or rather
the Board of Directors that represented
this corporation, commenced the business
of Banking. It was done openly and pub
licly, notoriously and avowedly, as a sus
pended Bank—neither pretending that it
had specie, nor would pay specie for the
bills issued by it.
The manner and motives of ail this were
| as well known as the fact that it issued a j
| bill or did business as a bank, and were as ]
j universally approved as they were univor
] sally known. Now, in all this, Mr. ‘Truth’ |
! where was the fraud—ihe fraudulent pur- j
! poses and practices?
] Fraud is a grave charge—and when it is j
I made, we connect as inseparable therefrom
] some concealment, some hidden and eo
| vert purpose to deceive, some secret de
! vice and management, by which the parties
to be defrauded arc designedly kept in
’ ignorance of their right*, ns well as of the
; purposes and designs of those with .whom
they deal. If these be elements of fraud,
there was in this transaction a total ab-
I sence of all of them. It had the advantage
of entire publicity, and approval by the ]
entire community in which it occurred, and ]
no man dealing in any form with the bank !
was, or could have been, deceived or de- ]
frauded thereby.
i think I have demonstrated, then, the j
injustice and falsehood of the charge of
Iraud against those who did the acts I have
last recited. And now was there any fraud
in the conduct and management of the
Bank itself,from its birth to ils violent death
in 1843’ Let results answer ibis.
Between these peiiods it was demanded
: that the Banks should resume specie pay
] merits. The Legislatures of 1838 and ’39
j refused to make this requisition, but the
j Legislature of 1840 did make it, anil irn
; posed as a penally for non-compliance the
: forfeiture of charters upon certain eondi
i tions and reservations. This Bank was
unable to pay specie, and therefore had to i
] subtpit to the penalty, which however, was j
j not imposed as the Legislature had direet- j
ed.
Instead of ft judgment of forfeiture, j
; reserving its right to collect ami pay its
| debts, an absolute and unqualified
! judgment was rendered against it. Prior!
i to its rendition, however, the Directors, j
] acting for the security and benefit of cred- j
itors, made an assignment, and by schedule ]
annexed thereto turned over to the As
signee assets to the amount 0f5391,340 93 j
The sworn evidence is abundant that
these assets were ample, solvent and col
lectable, to an amount more than sufficient
to have discharged all the indebtedness of
the Bank, and to have left a handsome di
vidend for the stockholders.
The Legislature subsequently adopted
the deed of assignment thus made as in
conformity to law, and made the assignee
the agent of the people to collect the assets
and pay the debts ofthe Bank. It required
that the billholders should be first paid,they
presenting their claims within three months.
This they did not do, nor did they make
any demand upon the assignee to go for
ward to collect and appropriate these
assets. The Legislature had been careful
to exclude the Stockholders from all
interference. The Assignee, then, was not
required by creditors to act, and he could
not be so required by stockholders. He
looking to the judgment of forfeiture, and
its explicit terms, came to the conclusion
“that the debts due to and from the corpo
ration were extinguished by its dissolution,”
and that this doctrine, was “too well set
tled to be overthrown or shaken, arid so
totally extinguished that the members of
the corporation can not (could not) recov
er or be charged with them in their natural
capacities.” Thus rested the affairs of this
Bank, until 1847—’48, when the litigation
| at present pending sprung up.
I have deemed this brief reference to ]
facts essential to the inquiry, What fraud !
was there in the management of the |
Bank?
Commencing business on a of
§250,000 in promissory notes, it passed]
through the perilous times from 1838 to ;
1843, and then turned over for the benefit
of its creditors §391,340 93. Stupendous
fraud !! ! When and where before has
been found the creditor so heartless and J
grasping as to fling in the face ofhis debt- j
or the charge of fraud, when the debtor j
ha? not only surrendered all he had for his
benefit and the security of his debt, but
more than sufficient to pay ii—and surren
dered this all without control or the possi
bility of redemption? If this be fraud, then
who in all the land has or can escape the
fouljimpeachment? It may never have been
the misfortune of “Truth” to be unable
promptly to pay his debts, and 1 hope it
never may be. Should it be so, and he
comes up with a surrender of all he has,
the most rigid and exacting system of
bankruptcy would receive it, however in
sufficient, and leave him as his capital his
honest name.
Whatever else may bo said, the loss of
these assets —the failure to appropriate
them—cannot be laid at the door of the
stockholders. They were, I had almost
said, forcibly and violently taken from the
control and management of the Bank and
its Directors; and it has been proven, if
they had been let aloue, they would with
them more than have paid the debts of the
Bank. They were distinctly set apart for
the benefit of the creditors. * They have
been lost to them, and a surplus of §IOO,-
000 lost to the stockholders. Upon whom
rested the superior claim and the prior
obligation to see to it that they were col
lected and appropriated? Yet the billhol
ders, not tlje plaintiffs in this litigation fail
ed tQ assert any claim until alter these de
mands in the hands of their Assignee had
been barred by the statute of limitations.—
About :lie year 1847—’48, the spirit of
speculation upon the accidents of almost a
past age was aroused. The bills of the
Bank fell into the hands of a few indiviifo
uals, as has been proven in* some instan
es, for even five cents in the dollar, and
they have raised the howl and cry of fraud!
andjevery principle of truth is descrated to
maintain it.
It is said, Mr. Editor, that “truth is migh
ty and will prevail,” bull hardly think the
author ofthe saying had in view this wri
ter, in his effort to charge home fraud
against the stockholders of this Bank. It
is enough that they have been pursued for
more than ten years with a most vexatious
litigation. The plaintiffs in it, and who
have purchased themselves into it lor thd*
most trifling consideration, may by the stern
rules of law be enabled to forage and fat
ten upon their purses. But the charge of
fraud is another matter, and the naked as
sertion of“ Truth” will not maintain it.
I would that the necessity for ibis com
munication had not been created. If the
writers of “Justice” and “Truth” had let
rest the names of Mr. Dougherty and myself
it might yet have been avoided. I confess,
however, I have long felt that some notice
of these wholesale denunciations was re
quired ol me—that the forbearance which
omitted it had ceased to be a virtue.
