CASE OF HABEAS CORPUS.

Robert b. Randolph is discharged. On Saturday,
the Federal Court pronounced its decison-both
Judges concurring in the result We understand,
that both the Judges concur in the opinion, that the
Government of the United States may have recourse
to the ordinary remedies for the recovery of wate-
yer balance may be due. We now lay the opinion
of both Judges before our readers:

GOLD


We have also the most fatterins accounts Of the Gold
Region Of Alabama. The Georgia Democrat states that
1t averages forty miles in width, and the gold is said
be oil the hneness OF twenty three and half carats The
Coosa river through the district hundred miles
and affords deposites OF gold in With very
careless work and slight machinery, these deposes yield
from one and half TO two and half penny weights
day. The vein hill mines have been touched and lit
tie OF the deposites have been fully examined"
We have had an opportunity OF examining beau
iful specimens OF the Gold Ore OF Virginia. They were
brought TO this City by Mr. Jackson OF Frederick
they taken from the United States Mining Compa-
ny in Spottsylvana County, about miles
ericksburg. On the of land which the Company own
there two mines The gold is found embeddedn quartz
In all the specimens have the particles OF gold
in tersPersed through the quartz species of nand
some OF them. rich and beautiful elorescences They
have all the appearance OF being rich The read
er will recoect Mr.. Featherstonbaughs statement that
Of the veins and in the Gold Region Of Vr-
gina, the quartz contains from forty per cent in
weight OF native gold pure to rise high TWEEN
ty.hree to twenty-thr and a half carats.
The Baltimore American says, very truly, that "As i'm
Virginia, in Alabama, there is doubt that sufficient
capital under the Of persons Of sufficient
terprize and skill, would devolve immense fund of
wealth, and advance the prosperity Of the State very
largely, within few years"At this time of pre- ssure
but which may be relieved by supply Of the precious
metals the motive for working mines in efficient
manner is OF course increased.

THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE.
The issue Is made up The PeoDle must
rule the Bank-or the Bank must rule them Either
the Constitution must predominant, or the Charter of
tremendous Institution made i'm direct violation and
contempt of the Constitution itself Choose We be-
tween them Choose between the Rights of the
States, and the Liberties of the People or, n tre-
mendous Institution, which threatens and mocks at
both.
If this Institution, far exceeding the resources
of the Government, the convenience of its Cti-
zens-not Bank of 10, but of 30 mions-not
Bank adjusted to the reduced revenue Of the Trea-
sury, and to the exringushment of the Public Debt
but Bank created in very different crcumstan-
ces created in defiance of the Constitution itself,
without the proper checks which free People
should demand as the conditions of its charter
with It's powers abused as they have been-tamper-
ing with our elections, with the press, and almost
entirely welded in fact by single man in Phila-
delphia-if this Bank can now, by putting the
upon its own customers and our State Institu-
TONS produce pressure, and still panic, so
TO prove itself stronger than the people and their
immediate Representatives, with one of the firmest
Presidents which this country has ever had in its
administration-ftc can do this, why we may almost
well give up the ship We may as well lay our
liberties Mt the feet of this Observation-Disclosures il
now, and we may almost say il will be perpetuated.
Certain it is, that nothing but one of those violent
shocks of society," which nearly amount to Revo-
lution, can hereafter shake its existence.
We must make up our minds to meet and defy
this monster, submit to its power. 1t will press
may effect some shock in the commercial world
We must expect these consequences from the des-
perate commissions, and the enormous power of the
monster. We cannot hope to get rid of it without
struggle and without suffering. We are now pay
ing the penalty of that sin, which Clay and Calhoun
and others entailed upon in 1916. Such po-
Iiticians these were the men create institu-
ton, which we cannot shake Oft without much la
Dor, resolution and patience. But free people will
not yield their rights and liberties without great
struggle. Nay they will not yield them at ALL
But, they will purge off the sin of those, who
nted the Bank, with hyssop" and they shall be
clean" What though they may have differed among
themselves about the precise period of removing the
depostes? What, though insidious efforts have been
made to generate suspicious about the deposites in
the State Banks ? The people will look to the main
chance. Shal this Bank be revived-or shall it not?
Shall we brenk down the man who is doing all in
his power to break down this mammoth and over
sbadowing power? Shall we restore the Consiitu-
ton, on shall we submit 20 a tremendous and uncon-
stutiona institution p, But more anon!

There Is Coalition getting up between the NulIfers
and the Nationals the subject Of the Bank They are
noto ralying on the common ground of the Depostes-
They are both railing about the State Institutions being
employed as the Depost@res OF the public funds-and
than Federal State Banks! The motive of the com
bination is obvious They hate the Acknowledgement
in attempting to pull down, they inevitably concur
