VERDICT IN AN ADVERTISING CAsE.-In
a suit in the Supreme Court yesterday, be-
fore Judge Oakley, brought by the proprie-
tors Of the Courier and Enquirer against
Henry |. lbhotson, for three hundred and
eighteen dollars ana eighty-nine cents. the
amount claimed with interest. It appears
that when the advertisement was taken to
the Courier Office, there was some misundcr
standing respecting the number Of insertions.
lt was however, put il, loaded ana displayed.
ana remained 80 for one hundred and fiffv
days, at two dollars for each insertion. The
defence set up was chiefly that Mr. Ibbot-
sons orders in respect to the advertisement
were not carried out However. he took
the Courier q Enquirer daily. and. as was
presumed by the court, saw the advertise
ment in question. and should have notified
the editor to alter or discontinue it. The
court ruled that he should have given this
notice, and not have expected to enjoy the
benefit Of the advertisement without paving
for It. ~ T. Courier.

The Washington correspondent Of the

"One OF the most common remarks made
by every one upon the state Of feeling in the

Administration party, they have suddenly
become noR-c0Mmittdi. They hesitate
about men and measures. and are extremely
cautious in their opinions On subjects As to
which they have heretofore had little reserve

Banks for Arkansas,

Yes, strange as it may appear, the Legis-
lature of Arkansas has incorporated CON-
panies with Banking privileges they
are not termed Banks in the Acts of incor-
poration, but they nevertheless possess bank
ing privileges. The Legislature would not
hear to a proposition to establish free bank
ing system in tie State-many of the men,
bers entertained 900 deep seated prejudice
against such soulless corporations, in addition
to which, they regarded the establishment
Of such system, as Numerically opposed
to the spirit of democracy,-but under the
head of insurance companies, banking be-
comes altogether unobjectionable, and seve-
raj such companies, having banking privi-
leges, we are informed, have been incorpo-
rated. A Little Rock correspondent of the
Garden Herald" noticing the passage of
an act incorporating the Merchants and
Planters insurance Company Of Camden"
States, that if the members, generally, had
understood the true intent and meaning of
the bill, they would have suffered martyr
don before they would have supported it
Thus, it appears that portion of the men,
bers were diddled into the support of these
bills We presume this is all fair, pa-ticu-
larry with those members whose opposition to
measure, no matter how beneficial it prom
ises to be, proceeds from prejudice, or from
fear that their political opponents may
derive some advantage from its adoption
We are aware that there are many INTEL
iigent members of the Legislature, whose
views were not averse to the adoption of a
system of free Banking in the State, but
unfortunately for the State, there are too
many OF that class. whose policy as legisla-
tors is as sectional, narrow, and selfish as
their information is limited, and whose on
y objects are to SO shape their votes as to
secure their reelection, and return to the
Capitol, again to act as clogs, as they are, to
anything like an enlightened or liberal spir-
it of Legislation. Such men never vote for
any measure that promises to be advanta.
geous to the people OF the State, simply be-
cause they fear it might possibly turn out
badly, and in that event, might materially
lessen their chances for reelection. One
might as well undertake to teach donkey
to forego this;les, as to induce one Of this
class OF members to support any measure
that would tend, however remotely, to ieop-
ardize his prospects OF again win;ering at
Little Rock, at the expense Of the State
They are Of that class who boast that they
are. never caught voting for any ne,o inca
sure, and rarely, if ever. for the appropria-
tions necessary to keep the wheels of gov
ernment moving. In any assembly. where
intellect is a requirement, such characters
are altogether out Of place, and deserve to
be diddled into the support of any measure
that promises good results although they
may not have the capacity to fathom it, nor
the Independence, if they understood it, to
give it their support. 1t is to be hoped, for
the honor and credit of the State, that the
day is not far distant when the people will
cease to make legislators out of such map
propriate material

Among the projects recently brought be-

Among the projects recently brought be-
iere Congress is one to amend the Constitu-
ton by providing for the election of Presi-
dental electors by the voters OF the congress
sional districts respectively. 1t was pro-
posed by Mr.. Ewing of Kentucky, and has
been referred to the committee on the judic-
lary. a similar proposition was made, some
years ago, By Mr.. Benton and by others
The object in view is to bring the election
OF President nearer to the people. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
journal Of Commerce mentions as among
the advantages OF the adoption of the project,
that each district will by this means have
some voice ia the Presidential election.
whereas, it is now drowned in the aggregate
popular vote OF the State. 1t would also Sc
cure the country from the danger of section
al ascendancy. AT present a combination
of the large central States of the North and
West can control the election Il will tend
to check the domination of political parties;
for in every State there would be found dis
tricts in opposition to the dominant political
party Of the State. 1t would secure the
country against the danger of Capitalization,
which has been the bane of republics. This
is as favorable a time as any for a change OF
the Constitution but l doubt whether any
amendment will ever be made
WITHDRAwAL.-The n. Y. Tribune( (says
the Natchez Courier with whose sentiments
on this subject I'VE cordially agree,) has, we
rejoice to learn, abandoned its connection
with the Wing party. Having of late years
done that party all the harm in its power
by its association with it, it now, in the hour
of its defeat, steps aside, and frees the party
from the obloquy of its presence. 1t finds
that anti-slavery and Wbiggery cannot SUBJ
sist together; that they are antagonistical
and that one or the other must be given up.
Of the two, it says it prefers to part with
the latter. Every sound Wing will rejoice
at-its determination, and only regret that it
had not the manliness to do so at an earlier
period.
