United States Supreme Court
50 U.S. 386
Hill v. United States
The bill must therefore be dismissed.
THIS case came up from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of Mississippi, upon a certificate of division in opinion between the judges thereof.
It was a bill filed on the equity side of the court, by Hill and the other complainants, against the United States, the Mississippi and Alabama Railroad Company, William M. Gwin, and William H. Shelton, to enjoin a judgment obtained against the complainants by the United States.
The circumstances were these.
In 1835, the receiver of public moneys for the Choctaw district in the State of Mississippi was found to be in debt to the government.
On the 26th of September, 1835, the Solicitor of the Treasury issued a distress warrant, under the act of May, 1820, for the purpose of collecting the debt, and inclosed it to William M. Gwin, then Marshal of the United States for the State of Mississippi.
The history of the transaction between 1835 and 1839 need not be stated.
In 1839, the marshal, by direction of the Solicitor and Secretary of the Treasury, received from the representative of the debtor (who was then dead) the sum of $30,000 in the notes of the Mississippi and Alabama Railroad Company, as collateral security for the debt, for the collection of which he had a distress warrant. The Railroad Company, in order to avoid a suit upon its notes, transferred to the District Attorney upwards of $78,000 of bills receivable of the bank. Amongst these bills receivable was a promissory note for four thousand dollars, dated on the 12th of April, 1838, payable six months after date to the Mississippi and Alabama Railroad Company, negotiable and payable at their banking-house in Brandon, and signed by William J. Hill, J. S. Rowland, D. M. Porter, and W. F. Walker. The note was joint and several; Hill was the principal, and the others sureties.

# Here and There in Yucatan/Preface

During a sojourn of several years in Yucatan, traveling here and there, stopping where we found interesting vestiges of the Mayas, the highly-civilized ancient inhabitants of that country, we had every opportunity of mingling with the natives. Thus we became acquainted with their mode of life, religion, sacred rites, superstitions, fables and traditions; as well as learning something of their philosophy, and observing how communism is practiced among them. In a ranch called X-Uaiul, near the ruined city of Zay, the inhabitants still preserve the customs of their ancestors. Not only do they work their fields in common, and share equally the product of their labor, but even the food is cooked for all in one building, every family sending thither for its allowance, which is regulated according to the number of persons in each home. They even intermarry—no one dreaming of seeking a husband or a wife outside of their community.
​At different times I have published, in papers and magazines, various articles on these subjects, some being reproduced in English periodicals. It is in compliance with the request of friends that a few of those articles have been brought together in this little volume, which is now cast adrift to sink or swim, as its fate may be.
# Here and There in Yucatan/Superstition Concerning Eclipses

From time immemorial, most peculiar ideas have been and are entertained in different parts of the world concerning eclipses and their cause. The Hindoos believe that a black demon seizes the moon with its claws. As long as darkness prevails, the air is filled with lamentations, men, women, and children entering the rivers, where they remain up to their neck in water until the return of light.
The Siamese priests (Talapoins) believe that when the moon is eclipsed a great dragon is devouring it; in order to oblige him to let go his prey they make all sorts of abominable noises.
The Chinese, like the Laplanders, are convinced that an eclipse is the work of demons; and make a great hubbub to frighten them away.
The Romans believed the eclipses to be the work of magicians, and that a great noise could prevent them from hurting the moon. Plutarch says that Aglaonice, during an eclipse of the moon which she predicted, persuaded the women of Thessalica that ​by her magic songs she had not only the power to darken the moon, but to oblige it to descend upon the earth.
The Greeks, and the inhabitants of Asia Minor, stood in excessive awe of eclipses. According to Herodotus, in the year 610 B. C., while a battle was raging between the Lydians and the Medes, an eclipse of the sun, predicted by Phales of Millet, occurred. It not only put an end to the fight, but the contending parties hastened to make peace, cementing the treaty by the marriage of Aryenis to Astyages.
If we now turn to America, we find that the Peruvians, Mexicans, and others, were terrified by the phenomenon. The Peruvians particularly dreaded the eclipse of the moon; they imagined that Luna was suffering from one of the mysterious diseases to which she was supposed to be subject, and feared that the queen of night might burst open and fall upon them. To avoid such a terrible calamity, and awaken her from her lethargy, they would sound loud instruments, shout at the top of their voices, and beat the dogs to make them howl. This custom of making a racket during an eclipse still obtains all over Peru, even in Lima.
The Mexicans imagined that eclipses occurred ​in consequence of a family squabble between the sun and moon, and that the moon was wounded in the fray. The frightened men observed rigorous fasts, the women inflicted corporal punishment on themselves, and young girls drew blood from their arms.
In Yucatan, the descendants of the Mayas are convinced that when Luna is eclipsed she is sick in consequence of being bitten by some large American warlike ants called Xulabs, and that they will devour her if she is left without help. To frighten away her enemies they beat drums, blow shell trumpets, shout, beat their dogs, pinch the cats' tails, and fire rockets and guns towards the moon.

# Gloria Mundi (Lowell)

Elmwood, October 2d, 1875
Red gold of parting sunset, backward thrown, In largess on my tall paternal trees, Thou with delusive care didst never tease The heart hat hoards thee; childhood is not flown From him whose life no fairer boon hath known Than that what pleased him earliest still would please: Nor are there incomes safe from Fate as these, So evanescent, so for life our own: All grosser gold is slave to earthly laws, But this with things immortal claims its right, As on the topmost leaves it seems to pause In tremulous passion ere it yield to night: So linger, when the light of earth withdraws, Radiance of heart, pathetically bright!

CHAPTER VII.
AN OLD DECCAN FORTRESS.
AT one point in its course the Penganga, the southern boundary of the modern province of Berar, turns suddenly northwards, and, after flowing in a northerly direction for upwards of thirty miles resumes its course eastwards. In the curve thus formed, and to the south of the river at a distance of rather more than two miles, are situated the old town and fort of Mahur. About a mile from the river the ground rises abruptly and a rocky road leads up to a plateau. Scattered over this plateau is a medley of tanks, shrines, and mosques, most of them ruinous but some still in good repair. The extent of the ruins enables us to judge of the size of the ancient town, now a dreary and sleepy village, but at one time the capital of a province of the Muhammadan empire of the Deccan. Narrow roads, ankle deep in dust, lead us now between mean houses, and anon between the ruins of more pretentious buildings, taking us at length out to what were formerly the suburbs of a large town. Here in days of old we might have found stately pavilions and luxurious summer-houses, half hidden in cool gardens, kept green by pleasant tanks. Of all this the tanks alone remain, and even they are for the most part dry. The rest is dust and decay. To the south-west and north the Penganga may be seen winding through its fertile valley. Beyond this valley the low hills which lie between it and the Berar valley on the north, and form the Balaghat of Berar, stretch away to the horizon. Immediately behind the town rises a steep and, in most parts, inaccessible hill. Half way up its side rises the glistening white dome of a Mahanubhava temple; its crest is fringed with battlements, the battlements of the old fort of Mahur, which has played its part in the history of Berar and the Deccan. It is an imposing structure, but has long since lost its strategical importance. Its walls, still in good order, are built of blocks of dressed stone, some of which are as much as six feet in length, and encircle the hill crest. The fort is entered on the north by a gate well provided with flank defences and approached by a road which must surely resemble the ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/147 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/148 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/149 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/150 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/151 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/152 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/153 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/154 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/155 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/156 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/157

CHAPTER VIII.
TWO HILL FORTS.
(I) — Gawilgarh.
THE fort of Gawilgarh is situated on a range of mountains between the sources of the rivers Purna and Tapti. It stands on a lofty mountain in this range, and consists of one complete inner fort, which fronts to the south, where the rock is most steep, and an outer fort, which covers the inner to the north and north-west. This outer fort has a third wall which covers the approach to it from the north by the village of Labada, all these walls are strongly built and fortified by ramparts and towers. The communications with the fort are through three gates, one to the south with the inner fort, one to the north-west with the outer fort, and one to the north with the third wall." Thus wrote the Duke of Wellington, then the Honourable Arthur Wellesley, in his despatch written after the storming of this fort by the troops under his command on December 15th, 1803.
Gawilgarh, somewhat more dilapidated than when it was captured by the great soldier, still overlooks the fertile Berar valley, and is a prominent object from the plains. From the fort itself, which stands at an elevation of 3,595 feet, a magnificent view of that valley is obtained on a clear day. The plains do not melt away into the dim distance, for the southern plateau of Berar rises on the horizon to the south-east, and the Yeotmal hills, about eighty-four miles distant as the crow flies, can be plainly distinguished.
The rocky hill on which the fort stands is actually steepest on the northern side of the inner fort where the natural escarpment of sheer rock overlooks the Kichak Dara. So steep is the face of the hill in this direction that the only defence is a parapet of stone, barely breast high, and probably designed rather for the purpose of preventing the defenders from falling over the precipice than for that of checking the ingress of assailants. The gates are not fully enumerated in the despatch. The outer fort is entered by two gates, while the inner fort has three large gates and a postern. One of these is the gate "to the ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/159 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/160 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/161 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/162 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/163 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/164 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/165 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/166 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/167 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/168 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/169 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/170 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/171 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/172 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/173

CHAPTER IX.
SOME FORGOTTEN BATTLEFIELDS OF BERAR.
IN India, which has been at times a vast empire, and at times a congeries of petty states bound by no close bonds and without a de facto overlord, there is not a province in which it is not possible to point out the sites of numerous battles fought in the olden days. Northern India has its battlefields, whereon the fate of the whole empire has not seldom been decided. In southern India the traveller may visit the sites of countless battles fought between the Musalman invaders and the Hindu inhabitants, and later between the established Muhammadan kingdoms of the Deccan and the great Hindu empire of the South, or between the various Muhammadan sovereigns themselves.
An attempt to connect scenes naturally dreary or monotonous with valiant deeds of olden days can hardly fail to lend an additional interest to those localities in the eyes of those whose lot is cast among them and of those who are led by curiosity, or love of sport or travel, to visit them. This must be my apology for an attempt to excite a small amount of interest in places obscure and uninteresting enough in themselves, but not wholly devoid of the interest which attaches to historical associations — some forgotten battlefields of Berar — a province which was for long the debatable land between northern and southern India, afterwards the frequent scene of conflicts between the states of Gujarat, Khandesh, and Malwa on the north, and the Bahmani empire or its disintegrated fragments on the south, and again the borderland between the great Mughal empire on the north and the independent Muhammadan kingdoms of the Deccan.
Rohankhed, a village situated a few miles north of Buldana, seems to have held in Berar in former days relatively the position held by Panipat in northern India. It was a town situated on the high road from north to south, commanding the ascent to the Balaghat or the table land of southern Berar and was the site of two notable battles. Ala-ud-din Ahmad II, the son and successor of Ahmad Shah Wali, and tenth king of the Bahmani dynasty, had married Agha Zainab, entitled ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/175 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/176 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/177 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/178 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/179 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/180 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/181 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/182 ​Page:Historic Landmarks of the Deccan.djvu/183
