no other language, with which to characterize
| snch a decision, than to denounce it as a gross
act of judicial wrong. The people of Georgia
will not, and ought not to submit to sueli an ad-
! ministration of injustice. To concede a corpora-
! tion sueli a privilege would be the most unmiti
gated outrage ever perpetrated under the name of
law, in any country. We hope when tlie decision
comes to be written out in full; aud we under
stand it better, we shall be able to think differ
ently in-reference to it. We have heard tlie Court
spoken of in very harsh terms, publicly, for this
opinion, but a suspension of judgment should be
given until its merits can be better knosvn.—.4/-

The Supreme Court.
In another column we publish the recent decis
ion of tho Supreme Court as referred to by tliti
Macon Telgraph With tlie accompanying re
marks of that journal we coincide. The last re
marks, however, if true, (and we take it for grant
ed tiiat it is,) surprises us. Tlie Telegraph says;
‘•Tlieslecision in tliis changes the judgment of
the Court as rendered when Judges Warner and
Nisbet (Starnes) were on the Bench, when tiie
same question came before them iu a similar ease
■So we go! Old tiie glorious uncertainty ot the
j law.”
j When this Court was established we thought
j that a point once decided by it was finally deei
ded—put to rest forever. From the above, it
would appear tiiat a change of men is a change
of law; that the decisions of one set of Judges
may and will be overruled and reversed by a suc
ceeding set. Our simplicity is betrayed in tiiat
we thought when a legal point bad been ones de
termined by the Court, that point would never mon
go up. The d-csion now made, however—in' fact,
tiie very entertainment of the appeal—shows tiiat
we were wrong.
If tliis Court ran reverse decisions of a former,
a future Court can and may reverse the decisions
of tills. If tliis lie so, of wlmt value is the Court!
Are we any more certain as to what is law than we
ut convention, iii duplicate, und I w ere before it was instituted? We thought tlie
Court was to decide what the law was in certain
case, of doubt. We knew of no other use for
such a Court. When its decisions vary or con
flict, it is entitled to no more respect, to no more
confidence—than tiie lower Courts.
If tliis case is a fair sample of the reliability
of tiie decisions of the Court—an index to its
ralar—we feel compelled to regard it as an un
mitigated humbug, which should not be longer
tolerated. The right of parties litigant are quite
as uncertain as before, and the Court fails to af
ford the Judges on tlie Bench of tlie lower Courts
that guidance which it was the design it should.
If it fails in this, which we thought its main de-
s'gn, it does not pei form its office, and should ifi
abolish'-d, and the money wasted on it spent more
usefully.—National American.

Whereas a convention between the United Static
of America and his Majesty the King of Denmark, for
the discontinuance of the Sound dues, was concluded
and signed by their respective plenipotentiaries at
Washington, on the eleventh day of April last, which
convention is word for word, us follows :

King of Denuiurk, being desirous to terminate amica
bly The differences which hare arisen between tiie ill in
regard to tolls levied by Denmark on American vessels
and their cargoes passing through the Sounds and Belts
and commonly called the Sound dues, have resolved to
conclude a convention for that purpose, and have uam

dent of the United States, Lewis Cuss, Secretary of
State of the United States, aud his. Majesty the King
ot Denmark, Torben. Bille, Esquire, Knight of tlie
Dannebrog; and decorated with the Cross of Honor of
tlie same order, his said Majesty’s charge d’affaires
near the government of the United States, who, after
having communicated to each other, their full powers
in due form, have agreed and signed the following ar
ticles :
Article I. His Majesty the King of Denmark de

of 181! t. Travelling in Connecticut and Massachusetts,
amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet and constant ex
posure to an infected atmosphere, my system was daily
predisposed to dysentery attacks, accompanied with
pain, tor which the Pain Killer was a sovereign
remedy: one teaspoonful curing the worst case in an
hour, or at most, half a day! My brothers in the minis
try have used it with much success in various diseases.
I have heard many cases tin- country ever, of Dysen

sotpthe tooth-ache in several minutes.

from me this unsolicited testimonial in its favor. The

At the time Col. Bonning was a candidate for
the Supreme Court Judgeship, the objection was
urged against hint that having acted as attorney
in the Columbus Bank cases, parties interested in
those corrupt and rotten swindles were parking
his claims because they believed he would decide
all points in favor of the stockholders of these
cotrupt institutions It is said that in order to
secure his election, he promised not to sit in any
of those cases In which lie had been employed as
conns.!. At the late Macon term of the Supreme
Court a ease involving the same principles came
up—whereupon Col. Win. Dougherty, the coun
sel for the bill-holders, objected to Benning sit
ting upon it, on the ground that he v.«s pledged
uot to preside in such cases. The Judge deni ,d
tiiat he had given any pledges, but, as we under
stand. admitted tiiat lit- had made such a promise
He nevertheless, announced his determination to
. preside. 'The result was that the case was deci
ded iu favor of the Bank, Judge Lumpkin dis-

Tliis affair is doing more to create opposition to
1 the Supreme Court than all other causes combin
ed. We perfectly agree with tlie Chronicle A
Sentinel that Judge Benning ought to resign his
seat at once. If he continues to hold it, the

Origin of Brandy.—Brandy began to be distilled
In France about the year Villi, but it w as pre
pared only as a medicine, anil was considered as
po-sessing such marvellous stu ngihoning and
sanitary powers that the physicians named it “the
water of life” (l euu de ric), a name it still retains,
though now rendered, by excessive portions, one of
life's most powerful and prevalent destroyers.—
Raymond Lully, a disciple of Arnold de Villa
Nova, consult-; ed this admirable essence ui wine
to be an emanation from the Divinity, and that
it was intended to reanimate and prolong the life
of man. He even thought that this discovery
indicated that the time had arrived for the consum
mation of all things—the end ot the world. Before
the means of determining the true quantity of
alcohol in spirits were known, the dealers were in
the habit of employing a very rude method of
forming a notion of the strength. A given quan
tity of the spirits was poured upon a quantity of
gunpowder in a dish and set on fire. If at the end
of the combustion the gunpowder continued dry
enough, it exploded, hut if it had been wetted by
the water in the spirits, the flame of the alcohol
went cut without setting the powder on fir.-.—
This was called the proof. Spirits which kindled
gunpowder were said to be above proof.
From the origin of the tern) “proof,” it is obvi
ous that its meaning must at first have been very
indefinite. It could serve only to point out those
spirits which are too weak to kindle gunpowder,
but could not give any information respecting the
relative strength of those spirits which were above
proof. Even the strength ol proof was not fixed,
because it was influenced by the quantity of
spirits employed—a small quantity of weaker
spirits might be made to kindle gunpowder, while a
greater quantity of a stronger might fail. Clarke,
iu his hydrometer, which was invented about the
year 17 JO, fitted the strength of proof spirits on the
stem at the specific gravity of 0,920 at the temper
ature of 60 degrees. This is the strength at which
proof spirits is fixed in Great Britain by act of
Parliament, and at this strength it is no more than
a mixture of 49 pounds of pure alcohol, with 51
pounds of water. Brandy, rum, gin; and whisky
contain nearly similar proportions.—Scientific
American.
The Newnan Banner & Sentinel, of August
Oth., says it lias been requested to give notice that
a public meeting of the citizens of Coweta coun
ty will be held in Newnan, on tlie 8th of Septem
ber, io take measures to memorialise the legisla
ture to abolish the Supreme Court of Georgia.
We suppose the above announcement has been
instigated by the recent decision of the Supreme
Court at Macon in regard to the liability of stock
holders for the debts of a Bank after the charter
has expired. We hope, however, that no such
remedy will be adopted by the people. We can
not see any benefit to arrive from the abolition of
the Supreme Court. If their opinions are such as
to cause them to forfeit the confidence of the peo
ple, there is another course that may be adopted.
We have no doubt that the decision referred to,
will cause intense indignation wherever it is
know n among all right-thinking men. Whatever
may he the h gal defence it is capable of having,
it can have no equitable or just defence. It is lit
tle short of a public outrage, perpetrated in the
name of law,and under its sacred panoply. But
because of such a decision we do not desire to
see the Court abolished. What is needed is a
Court whosejdeci ions will be uniform, legal, equit
able arid right. Let us have that.—Atlanta Intel

Will Hie Atlantic Telegraph Fay.
Now that all uncertainty as to the effectual
laying of the submarine telegraph is dispelled,
the next great question asked on all sides is:
Can it be operated with so much rapidity as to
make it a paying institution? So far as experi
ments have gone that problem stili remains un
solved But the difficulties that have been al
ready overcome give assurance that whatever
present difficulties may present themselves to the.
instantaneous transmission of messages from con
tinent to continent, they will be in like manner
successfully grapped with and overcome.
Wliih- the cable that, was discharged from the
Niagara and Agamemnon after the tailure of the
first attempt w as laying at Kcyharn, an expensive
series of experiments _ was tried to ascertain the
velocity with wliich words could be transmitted
through it. These experiments were conducted
by Mr. Whileliousc, tho electrician ofthe com
pany, at tin expense, we believe, of some .Ԥ10(1,-
OUU. The result was not very encouraging to tbe
prospects of the company.
It appeared that but seventeen words in eigh
teen minutes—or, say a word a minute—could be
effectually transmitted. By the application, how
ever, of Hughes’ instrument, that rate of trans
mission was quadrupled. Subsequently, accord-
ir-e- to a report then published in the London
Tiiucs, Mr. Whitehouse succeeded in sending five
words per minute, through miles of cable,
and expected that eight words could be transmit
ted with ease and certainty. Whether tho result
so stated to have been attained, or that expected
to be attained, was or w ill be actually realized,
is somewhat doubtful. We incline to the belief
tiiat there has been considerable exaggeration in
dulged in, somewhere, in regard to these experi
ments. We do not think that Mr. Whitehouse
ever succeeded in sending five-words per minute
through tlie cable at Kevham ; and it is a ques

very difficult matter to shovel them overboard.—

A Shocking Death —We have received the par
ticulars of a terrible accident, resulting in death
which occured in the township Brantford, Canada
on Tuesday last. Mr. Bradley, the proprietor of
the Ancestor Saw Mills, while at work, was
‘caught in the breast by a circular saw and ins
tantly cut. through the body. His liver was torn
out and thrown some twenty feet across the mill.
A most extraordinary circumstance connected
with this affair was that the accident to the parties
in whose word we have implicit confidence, was
witnessed "by a large number of tlie unfortunate
man's neighbors who were present at the time,
and who have been in the habit of congregating in
the mill to witness the operations of the saw.
After he had been cut through the body he
arose from the floor on which he had alien, and,
lifting a portion of his intestines—which with
other parts of his mangled body, lay sintered

j he sat down and expired, without having uttered
a word from the moment he received his fatal
wounds. I lie scene presented to the eye ofthe

twenty four hours of a day, and that the tariff of
prices was a dollar per word, charging for address,
date, Ac., the gross receipts would only amount
to $1,44" per day, or a little over half a million a
year. But as it would uot be likely to do more
than half that amount of business, the receipts
would probably reach no higher than a quarter of
n million a year, which would leave only some
$70,000 above the interest of the capital invested
to go toward salaries, expenses, wear and tear, &c.
8o that at that rate of transmission aud that tariff
the line would be very far from proving remu

If, however, by the use of the Hughes or some
other instrument yet to be invented, the rate of
transmission should be as high as five words per
minute, the gross annual receipts, at full work,
wetild be two millions and a half a year, and at

It is needless to say how immense the profits to

these two computations, when it is recollected
that there are but two offices to be kept up and
that there will be no expense arising out of re-

Mexico the benefit of orderly and well regulated
Republican government. A great change must
have taken place in the public sentiment of Eng
land, when we find such sentiment of Great
Britain in the columns of the exponent of ultra
conservatism. The reasons for the change are dis
cussed as follows:
“The Biitish are large creditors both of the
Spanish and Mexican Governments, aud they have
found their debtors are more than ordinarily faith
less, notwithstanding the liberal sacrifices they
have made. At a meeting of the English holders
of Mexican bonds, held in London, on the £3th of
last May it was officially stated that nine half
yearly dividends, of U14 per cent, were in arears
and that too, under the reduced scale, so liberally
agreed to by the bondholders in 1851. Of Spain
a similar if not more lamentable, story could be
told by the English creditors of that country. It
is natural, therefore, that the English should grow
tired of being defrauded, and of seeing the money
which is justly theirs, squandered aud pilfered by
the reckless employees, and hungry and unscru
pulous officials. Tlniy know that, were their clai
to become a lien on Cuba and Mexico, and w ere at
those countries to he “annexed” by the United
States, they w ould be careful to receive both prin
cipal and interest, and that the impetus to the pro
ductiveness in Cuba and Mexico, which would he
given by American enterprise, would be of very
important benefit to them in opening a more ex
tensive market for their manufacturers. They are
also aware that a very large portion of the Cubans
and Northern Mexicans desire to be annexed to
the Great Republic, as the only means of escape
from the corruption and misrule to which they are
now subjected,
“These are among tlie reasons why British sen
timent with regard to the growth ofthe United
States, and particularly in the Direction of Cuba and
Mexico has undergone so great a change. With ref
er enee to C'nha, there is another aud a very powerful
reason which impels tlie British people to wish to
see Cuba annexed to the United States, and that
is, the knowledge that the moment that island be
comes American territory, the slave trade ceases;
and that so long as it belongs to Spain, so long will
the slaves be imported in spite of treaty obliga
tions. and blockading squadrons.
“Circumstances may arise, when it will become
necessary for Mexico to cede another large slice
of her territory to the United States, and when we
iy be bound to take it; and in the same way,
circumstances may arise tinder which we may be
compelled to acquire Cuba in the interest of the
island, and of the peace of the world. But we
need be in no, hurry. Fillibuster expeditions and
violent conquests are as unnecessary as they are
immot'al. If we acquire a portion of Mexico.it
will be at the request of the Mexicans, and for a
valuable consideration; and the acquisition will
be more bcueffieiai to the Mexicans than to us.—
If the threatened Spanish expedition of “llt.tflMt
men, and n large fleet for the invasion of Mexico,”
ever leaves the shores of -Spain and reach those of
Mexico, the attempt of O’Donnell, Santa Anna,
Zuloagn, and the priests, re establish Spanish su
premacy iu Mexico, may n -t improbably result in
the speedy gratification ofthe wish expressed iu
the Loudon Times.” •
Dan Rice's Trained Camel Killed.—Dan Rice's
trained camel was killed on Friday last. The
company were going front Brazil to Green Castle,
Ind., and as the elephant and camel, which were
chained together, were crossing a bridge, about
nine miles from the latter place, they broke
through. The elephant caught a beam with his
trunk, and found a footing for one oi his legs, and
so saved himself by main strength, climbing upon
the firm part ofthe work; but the poor camel
swung by his side when he reached terra tirnia
with a broken neck. Dan has had hard luck this
season. It is only about a month ago since he lost
his celebrated trick horse “Excelsior.”

The Supreme Court of Georgia,
We regret very deeply that the recent decision
of a majority of this Court in the case of Robin-
son, at the Macon term, has furnished a nucleus
for all the elements of opposition to this tribunal.
Tlie twenty odd volumes of the reports of this
Court contain abundant proof of the necessity for
a correcting tribunal. Uniformity of decision was
the great end for which it was established—and
this could have been attained had the Judges ad
hered to the old common law maxim of following
the decisions made by their predecessors. This
we conce.ive was their-duty—and whatever no
tions subsequent Judges might entertain as to the
law governing a case—they were not to bo made
the exposition of the law ichcn the principle had
been previously decided. State decisis, is a imixira
of great value and is as imperative npon a Court
as any otlier principle of the common law. Had
this maxim been observed, we would not have
had the many - comments ofthe press, which at
this time, we fear, is doing so much to overthrow
this Court, and there would have been no necessi-
ty for legislation so as to produce, for the future,
uniformity of decision.
We have no commeuts to make upon the course
of the majority of the Judges, who reversed, in
this case, the previous decisions of the Supr. ine
Court. We have held them in high estimation for
integrity and ability. We decline the expression
of any censure, for their presiding in this case,
as no just opinion can properly be formed as to
what was their duty in this particular, until we
are informed fully of what had been their previous
connexion with what are called the Bank cases.
We have noticed a very clear and pertinent ar
ticle over the signature of “Fiat Justitia,”in tbe
Savannah Georgian ; and whilst vve ara willing to
assent to the general principle, that upon the dis
solution of a corporation, the debts due to and
from it are extinguished, we are persuaded that
that principle cannot, and does not control Bank
ing corporations like that of the Bank of Co.tint* 1
bits, which contain provisions shewing, umuistake-
ably, that the legislature intended that the corpo
rators should he held liable after the oxp' ration ot
their charters for certain descriptions of indebted
ness.
We forbear to go into the argument. The whole
snbjei t of corporate liabilities will doubtless en.
gage much of the attention of the approaching
logisl.-.tiue. If indeed the reorganization of the
Supreme Court, upon a better basis than that of
the act of 1845, can he effected, and the Court
thereby be made to command public confi
dence, w e shall rejoice at such a result, though
brought about by au agitation aud discussion we
lament.

Fugitive Wluvcs in Canada.
We annex the following remarks of Col.
Prince, on the floor of the Canadian Parliament.
It will be seen that, at least, a portion of tbe cit-
izens of Canada, are becoming tired aud disgusted
with the coustant increase cf black passengers
by “underground railroad.” The Canadians are
beginning to find out that the Abolitionists of tlie
North are too generous in sending runaways into
their country. After the Abolitionists succeed in
stealing a slave, why is it that they do uot provide
a home, or means for his support ? and not force
the “poor negro” out of the United States into a
community that is already overflowing with thiev
ing-, lazy, trifling negroes, and where the people
are b> ginning "to groan under the infliction. Tbe
very meanest negroes are those that the Abolition
ists arc able to steal; and this is tlie class that run
into Canada. Well may the citizens of. that l'ro-
viuce begin to look about them, auJ prepare to de
fend themselves against such a rapid increase of
renegades. Let them shut tiie door against run
away negroes, and let the Abolitionists fitiJ »
home in their own country to settle down their
stolen property, aud very soon their warm sympa
thy for the “poor slave” will become as cold as
ice. Hear what Col. Prince says :
“Hon. Col. Prince said he was wishful to move
a rider to the measure. Tbe black people who
infested the land were the greatest curse to tbe
Province. The lives of the people of the West
were made wretched by the inundation of these
animals; and many of the largest farmers ot tbe
county of Kent had been Compelled to leave their
beautiful farms, because of the pestilential
swartlv swarms. What were these wretches fit
fot? Nothing. They cooked our victuals sue
shampooed u.s but who would not rather that
these duties should he preformed by white men? The
blacks were a worthless, useless, thriftless set of
beings. They were too indolent, lazy and ignor
ant to work, too proud to be taught; and, not only
that; if the criminal calenders ot the country were
1 xamined it would be found that they were a ma
jority of tlie criminals. They were so detestable
that unless some method was adopted ol prevent
ing their influx, into this country by the "under
ground railroad,” tbe people of the West w ould be
obliged to drive them out by open violence. The
bill before the house imposed a capitation tstx upon
emigrants from Europe, and the object of tt" 1
motion was to levy, a similar tax upon tlie blucfo
who came hithi rfrom the States, lie now tuoyed
seconded hy Mr. Patton, that capitation tax ot 5*
for adults and 3s. 9d. fur children above one vest
aud under tom teen years of age, he levied on [" r ‘
sons of color emigrating to Canada from any
foreign country.”
“Ought not the Western men to be protected
from the rascalities and villauies of the. b ack
wretches? He found these mat with tire, and food
and lodging, w hen they were in need; and
would be bound to say tiiat tbe black men of tlrt
county of Essex would speak well of him inifi* j
respect. Blithe could uot admit them as bring
equal to white men; and; after a long and close >,: '‘
servation of human nature, he had came to th®
conclusion that the black man was but 11 so and
intended lor slavery aud that l:e was til for uot®'
ing else. (Sensation ) Hon. gentlemen might try
to groan him dow n, but he was not to be iuov*“
hy mawkish sentiment, and he was persuti'-e®
that tht-y might as well try to change the spit: ®
the leopard as to make tbe black a good citueu-'"
lie told black men so. and the lazy rscals
shrugged their shoulders snd wished they “*
never runaway from their “good old ntassa *
Kentucky. If there was anything unchrisM 0
what he had proposed, he could not sec it, so
feared he was not boru a Christian.”
