Letter # Luke Lea Esq, Oh ne Bryscoc
Bin.


Jackson, June 4, 1916.
r. W Tompkius, Esq:
DEAR SKI have just received your
letter of The 3lst ult, informing me that
Gen. Foote, in recent speech TO the poo
! pie at Port Gibson, represented NE as nav.
ing, with other citizens of this county,
come out in favor of the Bfiscoe Bill; and
YOU ask, can it be true? take pleasure
in answering your inq TRY, Int regret that
| cannot now conviently give yon my
views Of this question more at length
II is always part of wisdom 10 look at
things as they really exist. No man is
practical who does otherwise. | think il
public misfortune that the Briscoe Bill
was ever brought forward. With the ex-
cepiion Of the injunction clause, il con
tains nothing new. The principles of the
common law are amply sufficient, had they
been carried into effect, 10 have swept
away long since, every bank IN tiruuaau'
that had violated its chnrler--and tnsslO
what ought to have been done For my
self have ever been opposed TO the whole
system Of stale banks. Their existence
has been, and is, in my judgment, stand
ing violation ofthc true spirit of the fede-
raj constitution. The state, urqueSliona-
bly,, has the right TO enforce forfeiture
against bank for violation Off charter.
BY the common law, judgment of lorfei-
ture annihilates the corporation, and OK
tingnsheS its demands and liabilities. In
creating the banks, the state was in no
way bound, should a forfeiture ensue, 10
save the claims of creditors by any special
Legislation. The common law makes no
provision for administering OH the estates
ofdead corporations; uor do ! consider that |
the state is under any legal obligation to
do so. But from political and moral con-
have been anxious to see the
banks speedily wound up, and their effects
applied 10 the payment Of her debts. | /
should rejoice TO believe that this could !
now be done. But no one, as far as am
expects that the present Law
viii be repealed or amended in auV partic-
ular so as 10 make IL more favorable 10
the banks. The only question is, shalt the
present law stand, or The Briscoe Bill be
susIituted in is place In choosing be-
tween them, cogent reasons present Them
selves 10 my mind, why the bill, obnox
ous as Il may DC, should be preferred.
Looking al things as they are, cannot re-
.lsi the conclusion, that mono ofthe banks
u The state vail ever be permitted 10 DO
my good. The law as x stands viii uln-
naioly destroy them all. L Will accom-
iish 10 years What the bill would accom-
,lish in n7oafhs. I'ho creditors q the
,anks have, probably, nothing % gain BY
lr0longing their exiaonce. Inc sooner
hey are dead and buried, out d sight and
ut Of mind. ihe better for Ell concerned
nd most especially would i Be better Tor
he whir party. Sudden death IS preisra-
.ie 20 SLOW poison.
I have thus briefly defended nv position

Kissing. The sweetness of kissing de-

kissing which is INDUCED in at parties.

The follONing1act, says the New York
Gazette, is not generally known, save TO
few gentlemen. Shortly after the telmina-
lion Of the power and influence Of Iturbide,
the dominant party in Mexico despatched
a vessel 10 New York, with three important
|personages commissioned 70 offer the
throne ofMexico to Joseph Bonaparle, who
then resided in New Jersey. The com
missioners, on their arrival, accompanied
by Mr.. b., Of New York; who was thon
largely connected with the financial affairs
of Mexico) proceeded TO the residence OF
Joseph and made the offer in pursuance Of
their instructions. The ex-King Of Spain
took twelve days to consider on the propo-
sition, and after due deliberation declined
The offer, and the commissioners returned
in the small armed craft to Vera Cruz. =
