The Endorsement of Over Due Notes.

1t appears that until very recently, the law
applicable TO so familiar subject as the en-
dOrsemept of an over due note, has been alto
gelher unsettled, in the State of Pennsylvania
The view generally entertained, was that the
endorser of an over due note was an absolute
promissor, and that his engagement was not
conditional like that of an endorser before ma
turity. Tie idea seemed, therefore, to be en-
tertained by business men, and some lawyers,
and TO be sanctioned by occasional expressions
which have fallen from our judges, that the
endorsement of over due paper was substan-
TALLY the same in legal effect, as if the en-
dOrser had given new note himself, and
would consequently be liable absolutely as the
maker of new note, payable to the endorsee,
and not condtionally, as an endorser generally.
In the last volume of the reports of our Su-
preme Court, lately published, this matter was
fully considered and an elaborate opinion de.
livered BY Mr.. Justice Lewis, in the case of
Patterson '. Todd and Lemon. The pla intiffs
were the holders of note endorsed by the de-
fendant after its maturity, and they sought to
recover by virtue Of the endorsement.
The court below ruled that if the note was
endorsed by the defendant after it was due, it
imposed on him. the primary obligation of a
maker, and to charge him, demand and notice
need not be shown. The Supreme Court re-
versed this doctrine, and held that note over
due is payable whenever the holder chooses to
demand it, which he may do Immediately by
action at law, and that the endorsement OF
new note payable on demand, and that the
legal operation of it is precisely the same as if
the ehdorser had drawn an inland bill of ex-
change upon the maker, payable at sight
Consequently the endorser is liable only upon
proof of demand upon the maker within rea-
sonsble time, and immediate notice Of the de-
fault given to the endorser. The practical re-
suit Of this decision is, that, in order TO charge
the endorser of an overdue note, there must
be demand for payment made upon the max
er within d reasonable time after its transfer,
and immediate notice given to the endorser so
that, in fact, about the only difference between
the endorsement of notes after due and before
due, is that, in the first case, the holder takes
them subject to all the equities which existed
between the original parties; and, in the last
case, he takes them discharged of all such de-
fences demand and notice being equally
necessary in either case, in order to charge the
encorser.-Philadelphia Register.
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1853-08-11

may creep through the meshes of the law, can
not escape the indignant verdict of an honest
public; he may give grand dinners, drive a
snowy equipage, inhabit palace, and even
subscribe ostentatiously to benevolent purpos-
es yet, with all his outside gliding, people
recognize the rottonness within, and from the
very summit of his splendor, trace back the
Shiny track by which he rose. Such man,
let him do what he will, can never become re-
spectacle. A gulf as wide as that between
Dives and Lazarus, separates him from the es-
TEEN of the good. So also the low-mnded in
all pursuits, those cruel and unfeelng towards
their fellow-men, charlatans Of every hue, hyp-
ocrites, demagogues, tcadies, sharpers, and all
others of similar kind, cannot be respectable.
Pinchbeck never yet passed long for gold.-
Or, as the old proverb has it, "you cannot
make silk purse out Of a sow's ear"
AS the people are generally what habit rem
ders them, it is for the young that these re-
marks are meant. The old cannot be cured
Ii they are shams now, shams they will re-
main; nothing, alas can ever make them re-
spectacle. But the young have yet their hab-
It's to form. Let them take high standard,
and become truly espectabe.-Phila. Ledger.

What is Responsibility?

To Judge from the conduct and ideas Of some
persons among both sexes, responsibility con-
sists in driving fast horses, wearing rich laces,
drinking champagne, or idling away life. To
cut figure in society, on the promenade, or al
watering place, appears to be the sole aim Of
many women, who surely were born for better
things. To cultivate moustache, sport " two
forty " irotter, or act as model exhbiter OF
coats for some fashionable tailor, seems 10 be
The conception of dignifed and respectable ca
reer formed by not few Of the men.
Now, being respectable, in either man or
woman, is, to our notion, doing what is duty.
The poorest person, even in what is considered
popularity, the humbest avocation, who pays
his debts, obeys the law, and fulfs his other
obligations to society and to his felIow-crea-
lures, is thousand times more respectable
than the wealthy idler, the educated spend
thrift, the calous miser, or the fashionable
fool. SO the modest female, whether seam
stress, book folder, press tender, storekeeper,
or even house-servant, is, IN the true sense OF
the word, infinitely more respectable than the
extravagant wife who is running her husband,
than the thoughtless votary of fashion, than
the butterfly hirt. In word, worth, not
wealth, constitutes responsibility.
Again. II is what really is, not what mere
ly seems to be, respectable, that men of sense
honor as such. The millionaire, who has OBJ
tanned wealth by knavish practices, though he

BalkY Horses.

Balky, or jibbish horses, are not only source
of great annoyance, but too frequently endan-
ger the property and peril the lives Of their
owners. An East India gentleman one day
took his seat in one of the omnibuses, in Lon
don but at the time of starting all the efforts of
the driver pr owed unavaiing, owing TO balky
horse attached to the vehicle. The poo- ami
NAL became more and more restive in proper
iion to the tortures inflicted upon him by the
driver, and several other whipmen whoassisted
on the occasion. The street became blocked
up with spectators, and the inerception of 9TH
er carriages. Great danger was to be appre-
hended. The East India gentleman above re-
ierred TO, suggested to the driver and his assis-
tants, that if they would try The East India
method of fastening cord to the horses lore
foot, and canse person to pull forward, the
animal would start right away. The sugges-
tion was received with contempt. However,
after all others failed, long cord was attached
TO the animals lore-foot, and the moment the
man gave strong pull the horse started off as
if nothing had been the matter. The philoso-
ply of the case seems to be that the animal,
thrown off the centre of gravity by the propul-
sion forward, is taken by surprise and obliged
to start. Try it.-Rwal Ne,O Yorker.
