MISSISSIPPI BANKS. The High Cour!
of Errors and Appeals in Mississippi have
lust decided most important question,
touching Bank charters. The famous
" Briscoe Bill" authorized a summary
remedy, 10 ascertain whether the Banks
had transcribed their power as corporalors,
and, in tia, case, the Court were author
lied to declare their privileges forieited.-
The bill was afterward amended, so as to
authorize the Courts 10 appoint assignees
in cases of forfeiture, TO collect The assets
of the Bank for the benefi! Of creditors. 10
certain case, assignees moved to revive
a suit in their name, which had been in>
stiluted by the Bank, prior to its forfeiture.
The defendant con,ended, that the amend
menl was unconstitutional, and gave pow>
er to the assignees TO proceed with the coll
lection of debts due the Bank--in other
words, that when a Bank forfeits its char
ter, no debts can DE recovered Of its debt
ors.
But tie highest judicial tribunal OF the
State decided that both the bill and amend
ment were consitutionaI-and that if cor
poralion violates its charter, it may be al
once stripped Of its corporate privileges
and the assets, upon this "civil death,
may be legally administered for the beneh
Of creditors. This seems TO US equitable

He had just had fine sport with herd

There are few plans of enterprise, now

capable of accommodating 100 passengers,

now in the Senate at Washington
some time during the las! summer, adopt
ed the very rational conclusion, that the
power OF steam could be as edectually APP
piled TO the propulsion of large carriages
on the pralries, as to other purposes: aud
that whatever load light be drawn by 100
horses, might also be propelled by 100

projected and introduced the plan of using
large cylinders in the place OF wheels, and
made variety Of experiments with regard
10 the practIcabiily and power, the result
OF which was highly favorable and we
are confident in the anticipation that no
time will be lost in the introduction of eff
cient carriages of this construction. early
