to adjourn on the 10th, Saturday next, and this j cessfol quest of fortune in California, he had deter-
- - mined to locate there for the remainder of his life.
He advertised the Hotel, had a considerable amount
of printing done, and ordered supplies for it from
Savannah. About three weeks ago he took his de
parture, leaving orders on his brother-in-law to
pay his bills, and procured his endorsement to
drafts on New Fork, amounting to 1800 dollars,
which he cashed at the Manufacturer’s Bank. After
he had gone, doubts were suggested by the bank,
and a telegram to New York was answered “noac-
count with James W. Geary.” He was followed to
Savannah—affected great surprise at the answer—
said there must be a mistake. More telegraphing
was had with no satisfactory result—and meanwhile
he dodged by way of Thunderbolt, escaped by the
Florida boat, having sent forward his wife and ser
vants by a previous steamer to Orange Spring. "While
in Savannah, he had made extensive purchases far
Orange Spring Hotel, and collected from one of the
Banks a deposite of $500 under oath that he had
lost the certificate. He left the Florida boat at
Femandina, and has been tracked over a devious
route, under different names, up into Southern
too in the fece of the fact that there are some
tlirce hundred Jjilis in eachjbranch to be read
once and many twice, and - to~ be amended and
discussed, and voted on, all within the space of
less than ten working days.
This is too much work to be well done in such
short time, and especially when we^ remember
that the Appropriation Bills have not been
passed—the Education Bill is yet to pass the
Senate's ordeal, and tlie Supreme Court and its
reorganization has not been discussed to any
very great extent in either House or Senate.

anxious to reach home at an early day than they

The Supreme Court Bill has also passed the enough alone, but there is one bill which I think
House by a large majority. The Bill provides that
the Decisions of the Court shall be the law of-the
land until repealed by Legislative enactment,
or reversed by a full bench, all concurring. I am
happy to be able to state that the silly outcry which
baa been raised against Judges Benning and Mc
Donald meets with but little favor in the House,
and thif Bill is no indication of a disposition on the
part of the members to endorse the charges which
have been made against the judicial integrity o
these two gentlemen.
The BUI was passed because a large majority of
the members believed that this was the only way
to secure uniformity and stability iu the law of the
land.
The bill to withhold the subscription of the State
to the Main Trunk, and to cause a survey of a new
route, Ac., was lost in the House.

The resolution introduced by Mr. Cooper, of

and was finally, on motion of Mr. Colquitt, of

Codification of tlie Laws.
An Act to provido for the Codification of the
Laws of Georgia passed the House on Wednes
day. This Act, according to the Federal Union,
provides. That on Friday, December 10th, 1858,
the General Assembly of Georgia shall elect
three commissioners to codify the laws, which
code shall embrace all the laws in force, whether
derived from statutes, common law, decisions of
Supreme Court, or constitutional provisions, and
shall be modelled upon the Code of Alabama.
Commissioners to have an adequate-compensa
tion, and to report to the Legislature of 1861,
ami when adopted, the code shall supercede all
other laws of every description.

The Penitentiary was on the tapis in the Sen-
ought to pass and that is the one put in by Mr.
McWhorter of Greene, giving the Grand Jury
of each county the right and power to pay mem
bers, and to tax each county for the pay of its
own members.
I am in favor of this bill because I believe it
would reduce the expeases of the Government,
lessen the taxes, and improve the general char
acter and standing of the Legislature. Poor
preach would then get poor pay, and you would
not see so much wrangling and quarreling and
low down electioneering used to get to the Leg
islature. When the people of the county knew
that they had to pay for their own members,
they would take good care to get tlie worth of
their money by sending the best and smartest,
and most virtuous men to attend to the public
business.
It would be well enough to add a clause that
no county should send more than two members,
or else Chatham, Muscogee, jBibli, Richmond,
and a few other rich counties might stock a deck

Cherokee Georgia has Iron resources equal to
Pennsylvania and physical resources to develope
them. If developed, Cherokee Georgia would

The difference to the W. A. A. Rail Road,
would be, the addition of freights from a U.

The House on Friday had before it the bill to
require the Governor to withhold the remaining
installments of the State's subscription to the
Atlantic and Gulf Rail Road Company, until
certain conditions are complied with.
The Judiciary Committee had reported against
it and their report was disagreed to, and after
some amendments made, a spirited discussion
ensued upon the merits of the measure, in
which the action of the Main Trunk Directory
was vigorously assailed by Mr. Cook, of Early,
and Mr. Colquitt, of Baker, and was defended by
Mr. Gordon and others. After a protracted de
bate the bill was lost by yeas 43; nays 83.

a source of annoyance and expense to him, with
little or no pecuniary profit Since that time,

Ilowe, Jr., once a poor inventor, with but a few
friends, now receives from the most prominent
makers of sewing machines, a tribute that will
make him before thc first term of his patent ex
pires, 1860, one of the wealthiest men in this
country. AA'c do not speak from any positive
knowledge of the bets, but his present annual
income cannot be calculated at less than one
hundred thousand dollars. Certain it is, that
in the course of a single month he must liave
received from one establishment no less than
six thousand dollars, judging from the number
of machines sold by that concern. On almost

The Commissioners of thc Litchfield Bank, in
Connecticut, have reported that its circulation
amounts to $32,000, instead of $2300, as alleged
by the officers; that only $8000 of its capital
had been paid in full in cash, instead of $80,-
750, as had been claimed; and that there is a
large deficiency in the assets over and above all
losses to be accounted for. The Commissioners
further represent that they believe large sums of
money liave been paid to bank-note detectors in
New York to induce an enhanced and fictitious
value to thc capital stock; that, according to a
memorandum funished* by thc cashier, there
has been paid $833 66, as follows: Monroe
$33.60, Dye $166.67, Taylor $133.33, same par
ties $500 more, which was added to the engrav

An Immense Windfall.
According to the Cumberland (Md) Allegan-
lan, an old man named John Brobst. living in
the Glades, in that county, recently discovered
tliat he was tho rightful oivner of a large tract
of land in tlie richest mineral region of Penn
sylvania, underlaid with immense scams of coal
and iron, and valued at $8 000,0W. Brobst, it
is said, lived on'thc land fifty years ago, became
involved through his brother, mortgaged his
property to its then full value, and came to Ma
ryland, where he has ever since lived in indigent
circumstances. The property subsequently-
passed into the hands of his nephews, who af
terwards sold it to a wealthy company. The
difficulty of giving a good title to the property-
led to the fact that Brobst was still alive. He
was searched out, found, and taken on the Penn
sylvania, and according to to AUeghanian, has
sold out all his right for the sum of $2,000,000.
