ER- The Hon. Henry Potter, judge of the United
States district court of North Carolina who died
the 2Otn instant at Fayetteville, in this State in
the ninety. third year of his age. He was born in
Mecklenburg, Virginia, in 1765, was appointed dis
trct judge by Jefferson in 1901 and was long assoca
ted in the discharge of his duties with Chief Justice
Marshall. He was a contemporary of Caswell, Dave,
Alexander Taylor. HILL and Others distinguished in
their day in North Carolina, and the last survi-
vor of those who signed the original constitution Of
the G. and Lodge in this State in 1887. g.. ....s
Judge Potter was in Philadelphia and was present
and heard General Washington deliver his first mes
sage to the Congress that convened after his election
to the presidency andwas familiar with the presence
ofHamiton, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Lee, Wayne,
Carroll, Pickney, Randolph, King. and Others" r..
Judge Poters place will be filled by the President,
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate
The salary of the Judge is, we believe, $500 per
annum. The duties not very laborious.
JUDGE DOUGLAS IN PHnADELPHIA-Judse Doug
las visited Philadelphia Thursday night last, and
as soon as he arrived he was called on for speech.
He briefly responded, repeating his views about
"the will of the majority" &C. in Kansas The Press
says he deprecated the idea of hostility to the Pres
dent or to his Administration, and expressed his be.
lief that Mr.. Buchanan would prove eminently wor-
thy of the high opinion formed of him by the De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania, which had elected him to
the high Office he now held" At all the Douglas
meetings held thus far confidence has been express
ed in the Administration of President Buchanan.
The GEonG1A BANKs-It is provided, we believe,
by the charters of the Banks of Georgia, that they
shall forfeit their charters whenever they to
redeem their notes in specie. The Legislature, now
in session, passed act legazng their suspension
of specie payments, which act was vetoed by Gov.
Brown whereupon it is stated the Legislature passed
the act the Governors veto by thirds vote
U. S. TREASURY Notes.-The Secretary of the
Treasury has decided that the denominations
notes. recently authorized by act of Congress, shall
be 800. $500, and 81 900. The amount issued is
not to exceed twenty millions of dollars redeemabe
in twelve months and not to bear interest than
six per cent. 1t is thought that much of the loan
be effected at less than six per cent The notes
will be ready in the course Of two or three weeks.
