MOST UNWORTHY CONDUCT OF OUR
WHIG GOVERNOR.

tits well knewn that under the law, the
War Department can take no measures to
supply the volunteers of the I'd Ohio Regi-
tnent until mustered into the U. s. service
Till then they are under the control of the
Commander-in-C Chief of the Ohio Militia,
Gov, Bebb. In accordance with the law,
Gov. Bebb was notified by the War Depart
Inent to that effect; but he refuses to aid
these volunteers, and they are left to their
own resources. Massachusetts federalism,
in the days of the reasonable Hartford Con-
venton, and when blue lights were burned
to give notice to the enemy, could not head
this The volunteers, thank God, will take
care of themselves, severe as it is. See the
following:
For the Ohio Statesman.
TO THE OFFICERS COMMANDING
COMPANIES NOW RAISING FOR
THE I'd REGIMENT OHIO VOLUN-
TIERS.
The Governor of the State has received
official notice, from the War Department,
that your services are needed in the war with
Mexico, and has been requested to aid IN
your organization. am Informed by the
Private secretary of the Governor, that no
contract will be made by the State for the
transportation of the companies to Cincu-
natl. Officers therefore commanding COM
panies, will contract for themselves.
An officer of the U. s. service has been
detailed by the Adjuant General TO muster
the regiment into service as soon as 1t shall
be concentrated at Cincinnati. The sooner
therefore the companies reach Cincinnati
the better. VIM. IRWIN.

tween tie managers Of the Brandon Bank and
the Commercial Bank Of Natchez, by which
the Commercial Bank Of Natchez gave a false
certificate Of deposit to the subscribers for
stock Of the Brandon Bank with a view to
make up the capital stock required by the
Brandon Bank, and to enable said Bank TO 90
into operation, and that the Brandon Bank did
60 into operation in consequence and by means
Of said certifcate-and that the notes and is
sues of the Brandon Bank became thereby
worthless, or very greatly deprecated, and
occasioned a great loss to the community in
consequence Of the capital stock being paid in,
or pretended to be paid in, BY said false corti-
fcate-and further, that the money loaned on
the note in question was in such deprecated
or worthless Brandon money; then the Com
mezcial Bank Of Natchez was guilty Of a frau

and can maintain no action arising in conse-
quehte thereofA@and they must find for the
defendants.
I'd. If the jury believe from the evidence,
that there was a combination between the
Commercial Bank Of Natchez and the Brandon
Bank, by which the Commercial. Bank, being
a Bank Of good standing and credit; was to
receive from the Brandon Bank, either direct
ly or indirectly, a large amount Of the issues
Of said Brandon Bank, and said Commercial
Bank was to discount tho notes Of the people
and pay out, or put in circulation thereon, the
notes Of the Brandon Bank, and that the Bran.
don Bank notes were at that time greatly de-
preciated or worthless, and the Commercial
Bank Of Natchez was aware Of such worthless
ness; and that this arrangement between tn,
two Banks was made for the purpose Of gettinl
such deprecated or worthless notes into circu
lation-and further that the discount Of tn
notes in this suit was made In the depreciate,
or worthless notes Of the Brandon Bank, an,
that their worthless character was not mad
known to the defendants by the Commercia
Bank-this would be fraud on the communi
ty by the Commercial Bank, and a fraudulen
concealment from the defendants - and tn
jury must find for the defendants.

Mn, EDiroR-Well, | wonder if any body
now believes that Col. Benton was in the battle
of the Horse Shoe. The Creole Of October 9Th
contains a long article to prove something
which has not been denied-that the Goth regi-
ment made eharge at tie Battle Of the Horse
Shoe--but where Col. Benton was, Mi, Mab'y
does not state nor make others state for him.
Mr.. Mabry is slngulurly unfortunate in this
effort IF his, He reminds one Of the milf
taty man who, dreaming Vof battles and com
quest, aroused himself from troubled sleep,
grasped his trusty sabre; and commenced
hewing down the posts Of his W bedstead.
Mr.. Mabry is effetting tho work Of self demo-
lition as fast as the special pleading Of his legal
friend, and his skeleton certificates can do il
for him. No one pities his dilemma more than
do. Still, must ! disturb his quiet repose in
this last effort TO enlighten the obduracy Of his
mind, Mr.. Mabry has not appealed to history
the only proper way to settle such a question.
/ therefore must meet him on his own grounds,
and refer him-or any others who have doubt
ed the correctness oG the statements ! have
made-to the following gentleman Of high
standing and respectable character in our com
munity, either Of whom he may see in three
hours ride from his own residence. refer him
to Robert P. Curren, William Bennett, Benja-
min Mabry, and Col. w. P. Perkins. This is
better than a tour through Leake and Carroll
counties in hot September weather, unless one
could meet with better success. Some OF
these gentleman, | have not seen myself-bnt
others have for me--and they too, no doubt,
would willingly bear testimony to the truth Of
my statements.
In my first communication, | Gorbore in al

terms it properly deserved. II understand
any thing Of the meaning ofthe words and thei
import when thrown together in the form o
sentenCes-it does not mean that Col. BentoI
was at the North and MI. Mabry at the South

the other drew the sword, under the same wor'
Of command. Is not this GoffeUt.

n ora 10 inc ShnuAus
The judicial election now pending before the
people, owing to incidents attending iI-in-
wolves some of the most vital principles Of
Observation-Disclosures principles in COM
p~arison to which our petty differences in party
politics sink into insignifcance. The true
patriot will at all times rise above party influ-
ence and party feeling, and especially at a time
when the most important principles are at
stake-and hear with candour and weigh with
care all that might be said or wrote in oppose
ton to his W peculiar views.
The facts that make up the unusual incidents
attending this election, Invested of the fumes
and smoke that hangs around them, are sim
ply these THE present incumbent Of the SUI
preme Bench some time since, made a decision
rendering null and void an act passed by the
Legislature during the session of 1916, This
decision was thought bysome to be erroneous
and for this reason (and for no other that ! have
heardO an opposing candidate is put forth, and
an effort is made to defeat the election Of the
present Chief Justice. From the facts it will
readily be perceived that VT is the reason rhy''
the wherefore Judge Wilkinson 10 brought out,
that constitutes the Objectionable part, and
calls up some Of the vital principles Of our pc.
litical structure, II the questions with regard
to these two candidates were confined 10 their
individual merits-of course there would be-
nothing unusual in the election; and no i'm
portant principle be involved. But when OBJ
lection is made to a legal decision Of the SUI
preme Court-an issue is made On a point Of
law-and an opposing candidate is brought out
under that i%ssue-is the direct offspring OF that
issue, and is running upon that issue, then the
election assumes an unusual degree Of impor-
ance.
Such to my mind were the feaffnl conse-
quences Of such an issue, that for some time
could not believe it could be made. But on
examination / find it true ash is fearful. The
circumstance under which Judge Wilkinson
Is brought out make the issue-the papers
which support him make it. Enquiring among
some Of those who intend to vote for Wilkin-
son as to the "why" and "wherefore' of theii
vote, / find they make the issue and intend to
vote upon it.
1t requires but a glance to see the appalling
consequence Of this course Of Things. We live
under a constitution which throws restriction
around the Legislative body in it's exercise o.
power, the great object Of which is to protect
the minority among the people, from the en-.
croachments Of the majority. If there coule
be no danger that our Legislative body woult
ever disregard the rights Of any one man or eel
Of men, then there would be no necessity fcl
