COMMERCIAL BANK OF Ma .NcHEsTER,
February 5, 1910
To the editor of the YazOo City Whig:
The Vicksburg Wing publis hes notice
that 500 note of this bank hal been pro-
tested in New-York for "want Cf funds"
Nav ask the favor of you to rea d the en-
closed letter from the Cashier of the Union
Bank of Louisiana, which will account
forthere having been no funds to the credit
of this bank IN n. Y at the date oft he protest
note alluded to? You will obser We by the
enclosed letter, that the Cashier of that bank
states, under date the 22d January, that he
had on that dGy received an order fl rom this
Bank, to remit $40, 900 to the Manhat tan Co.,
New York, and another order to rem it SIS, )
600 in like manner, the former bear1n date
the oath December, and the latter, the 7th
January-the first being nearly one mo nth in
reaching New Orleans. You will also OBJ
serve that he states that the amount, (ss25,-
OOO) would be RENTED without delay, and
would have been sent forward in due cou rse,
if these orders had reached him in time -
During the last season, this bank issued ost
notes, payable at New York on the 14th of
August last, amounting to $76,325, all
of which were redeemed on presentatiO n
except the 500 note alluded to, and So, 4O5
still in circulation. In addition to this issue
of post notes, payable in New York, this
bank drew date or time checks on New York
and New Orleans, for upwards of $3.50, 900,
which have likewise been paid.
While on this subject, may ask you to
correct an error into which the Bank Com
missioners have fallen, respecting the bust
ness of this bank. 1t is stated that we are
advancing fifty dollars bale on the present
CROP. in twelve months post notes." The
Commissioners have been misled in this par
ticular. No such advance has been made,
nor any post note issued due later than Au-
gust next. Very Respectfully,
NAL. B. HAMER.

Ofthe High Court of En- Ors and appeals
adopted at its January term, 1910,
Ordered, That hereafter, when case is
reached on the docket, ifno counsel appear
on either side, or when no counsel be mark
ed on the docket, the case shall be dismiss
.ed;-PrOUided, however, that such dismissal
may be set aside, on good cause shewn, sup
ported by affidavit; but in no case will such
dismissal be set aside, unless the affidavit
also sbew that there are probable merits.
When any defendant in error shall be dis.
satisfied with the security taken in any writ
of error bond, he may move the Court for a
rule upon the plaintiff in error to shew cause.
on day to be named, why the supersedeas
should not be discharged, or other security
given; copy Of which rule shall be served
on the plaintiff in error, at least five days be-
fore the expiration of the same.
The motion for the rule must be founded
upon an affidavit of the insuficiency of the
security taken-and the affidavit of person
interested in the judgment below, may be
read in support of the application. If the
Court is satisfied from the affidavit that there
is cause to interpose, the rule will be enter
ed. On showing cause, affidavits taken by
either party may be read to shew the suE-
fciency or insufficiency of the security ia
ken, provided reasonable notice be given of

infamous concern the 8 Brandon, and we

TWO MILIIoNs of the debts Of the State, BY
the decline in the yalIe 81 is paper; and
where is the cotton planter that has lost BY
lit? Igrant they have acted in bad faith, yet
/ deny that the people Of Mississippi are the
sufferers; grant that heavy losses have been
accustomed BY this concern, but the loss falls
on those whose business it Is to make mo-
ney By shaving.
It is great misfortune that we cannot
pay our debts, and It will do for those who
owe nothing, to sing the song ofgold and
silver: but not many will be found, either
Wings or Democrats, ready to join in the
chorus.
II is great injustice 10 the merchants bro
kers, &c. Of New Orleans and New York,
that our banks cannot give them specie for
the notes which they buy at 20 per cent.
discount; but it is no loss to the planter to
give his cotton for these notes at 20 pei
cent. more than the foreign markets value
of the article. and pay his debts with them.
