The Bank Case

~ The Bank Case.
On our outside will be found statement
of the principal points decided by the Su-zl
preme Court in the case of Ex-Gov. Wright
against the new State Bank. 1t should be
read only as the decision of q very impor I.
tant case but 10 note the extreme to which
certain doctrines have been carried by the
Judges. 1t is held that frauds committed
by agents of the State upon numerous citi-
zens of the State, are not frauds upon the
State of which she is bound to take cogni-
zance. The parties who organized the Bank
fare presented to us as the agents of the law
and the State for whose wrong doings-
they being public functionaries the stock
holders and the bank cannot be held respon-
! siblet; the State is barred from settling up
the acts of her owna gents as fault of the
Bank, and making them reason for depriv-s
| ing the Bank of her acquired rights. In
| another paragraph, these Commissioners for
the organization of the Bank, whose Office
was in the nature of a trusteeship, both of
| the interests of the State and the Bank, and
thereby agents sof both, were-ita is init
mated-only responsible to the individuals
agrieved, and are liable in law for personal
damages, for their official frauds. The con-
struction of the nature of their trust will
be of little benefit to the sufferers, when
they investigate the personal responsibility
of the persons, who, in most cases, acted in
!. the capacity of Bank suh-agents-ags saaa = 81

( The organ of Lord p Palmerston in London
has the following paragraph in relation to
our negotiations for Cuba: ns!es ad1 80
y The Intelligence from Madrid announces ann
aresolution a Of the Cortez .repudiating the
hypothesis of Mr.. Buchanan in his annual
message to the American Congress that
Spain might be induced to surrender Cuba
to the United States Government for a Pc
cuniary consideration. The resolution is
in q peculiar manner taken out of the hands
of party maneuYering in the Cortez-a de-
claration to this effect having been made. by
the O'Donnell Ministry, as the resolve of
the Executive. A vote was carried uuani-
mously at the instance of NJ. Olazaga, the.
| leader of the opposition, confirming their
policy on this question. The alacTity of NJ.
Olazaga in supporting an administration
hostilelto his own political pretensions on a
subject of national Interest, is peculiarly
{ distinguished in a country inv hich so much
ispeFpetually surrendered to factioas influg
elces. We ASSUME, therefore, that for tile
present at least, the resolution Of the Span
ish GoyerHmentand the Spanish Legislature
has been firmly taken, and that the aAmeri-
cans must either recede from their positien
altogether or support it by demonstrations
equal yliheoHsistant with the terms of the
Presidents message and with Che restraints
of civilized governments aud international
law ol 7si-- ss9 1ot eI911izz-a. -
A letter from Washing ton saystha Senior
Tassars the Special Minister there is in a
constant state of perplexity and anxiety
When he first eamo he announced that if
any one spoke to. him Of selling Cuba, he
would takesit as an insult; and if the Sec
| rotary Of State advsrted to the subject he
would at once ask for his passports. Now
t he is. on 'thorns to know who is TIE Spanish
Statesman who is to be approached with the
thirty millions, In political circles thesen-
sutton is even greater thanin the diplomatic
ones. It.is now evident that on the Cuba
I question the Democrats viii present an un-
!: broken front, and the feeling is prevalent
that it will break up and annihilate the OPP
position in the North, if it is permitted to
I become party question, To ayoid being
/ caught in such a trap, tits said that the Re-
publicaus have determined to- support the
Administration IN its Cuban policy Sc
1 ward of N, Y. and Chase, of Ohio, have
: ayowed their intention to advocate the ac-
4otfisition of Cuba. lss,aoss1i szs-z s.

the report was eoneurfed in, the amend-.
ment adopted and odered to be engrossed-
On the lst of March, it was read a third
time, was passed by vote Of yeasandnays,
ana returned to the Senate, where, on the
I'd of March, the amendments adopted by
IA the House, were coneufred in, sc. M
Thus it will be Seen that the Journals
fail to show that the bill was, in either
House, read by sections, or that an emer-
gency existed; but they do show, affirma-
lively, that it was read first and second
time by its title only.
The Constitution, article 4, sec.19,. says:
IN ossEyery bill shall be read by sections, on
three several days, in each House, unless, IN
s7 cases of emergency, two-thirds OF the House
gs. where such bill is pending shall, by a vote
E911of yeas and nays, deem II exPedlent TO dls-
-----pense with the rule; but the reading of a
bill by sections on its final passage shall in
sss no case be dispensed with, and the vote on
~ the passage of every bill shall be taken by
ts-- yeas and nays.H ziaElgaao stf eIsse-9a -
AS we have seen, the bill was subjected to
r., first and second reading, on the same day,
4. by its title. In accordance with the rule,
81 this could not be done, unless there was a
case of emergency, and the rule was dis
pensed with in the mode pointed outby the
section to which we have REFERRED Are

stitution I93aiTa{ss all3 Tabag asAe.
The Journals, in this instance, aver that
the rules, by ayote ofyeas and nays, were
dispensed with, and the billread a first and
second time by its title. Now, in support OF
the act in question, it seems to us that we
may presume otaonly4 that the vote taken
was two-third vote, but that there was Q
case of emergency, within the meaning Of
the section above quoted. .snia5zl4fl17
1t is true, where the journals, on their
face, show that j bill on its final passage did
not receive, in its favor, the votes CT major
ts ity of all the members elected, as prescribed
by the constitution, the whole Legislative
s4 proceeding would be nullity because, if the
