IN Old Negro Gone.

There are but few of the citizens of Savannah who
did not know personally old Luke, better known as
Luke Stewart aged and faithful negro. of late
years the property of T. J. Walsh, Esq. and dare
saw there is not one of the number who will not
learn with regret of his death which occurred in
this city on Sunday last
Luke had obtained very venerable age and had
probably as many warm personal friends among the
white people as any negro that ever lived in Savan-
nah He was raised by the late Daniel Stewart of
Liberty county from whom he inherited a norton
of the name he bore TO the day of his death He was
for wears the body servant of some of our Repre-
sentatives in the Georgia Legislature and was the
property and body servant for long time of Hon.
Thomas Butler King, OF ST. Simon's Island, formerly
Representative to Congress from this District.
Luke always claimed the honor of having broken
the old Bank of Daren. and it is a historical fact
that he actually presented and received the money
for the last check hOnored by that institution
it having been drawn by his master, Hon. T. Butler
King.
During a session Of the State Legislature. some
years ago. while IN attendance on his master, Mr.
King at Milledgeville he initiated into the Ma
sonic Order. as he thought The ceremony is said tC
have been most impressive, and Luke firmly be-
lieved and avowed to the day of his death that he
was Mason.
| Luke was well known and much loved among his
own people. He was a man of undOubted piety, and
was for years previous TO his death class leader in
the Colored Methodist Church of this city. He was
great fayOrite of our merchants, to whom his hon
eSty and good character commended him. and who
gave him many little jobs TO do in his late years
more to help him along than because they really
needed his services.
Few of our colored people have enjoyed so good
and none Ofany color better character than old
Luke, and he will be missed By many who were dai
" accustomed to the sound Of his wagon wheel and
the familiar tone of his voice. We glad to learn
that he died as he had lived, a christian. Peace 70

TIE Albany argus Of Thursday reports the case
of the Merchants and Manufacturers Bank Of
Hartford against JOHN T. SMITH. which was tried
before the United States Circuit Court for the North
ern district of New York, Judge NELSON presiding,
| at Albany.
/ The action was brought to recover for a fraud
charged TO have been practised by the defendant
upon the plaintiff in procuring the discount Of three
notes three thousand dollars each at the bank of
the paintifon the 18th of December 1858 The notes
were made by Thomas W. Smith, the brother of the
defendant and endorsed by David B. Smith, the de-
| PENDANTS father. At the time of the discounting
| the notes the latter was reputed to be man OF
wealth and responsibility, but he failed about the
| time the first of these notes became due, and the
notes proved to worthless. 1t appeared that the notes
were discounted mainly the credit of the endors
err though the President Of the bank testified that
| he could not have discounted them unless he had
also supposed the maker to be responsible.
1t appeared that the defendant, the agent of his
brother the maker. and at his request, went to the
| bank TO obtain the money the notes. and deliv
cred to the Cashier the notes in question, and also
| two letters introducing Thomas w. Smith, and re-
commenting d. 3. Smith, the endOrSer, being per
! fecty responsible. These letters made no allusOn
to the circumstances or responsibility of Thomas W.
Smith. The charge against the defendant was, that
when presented the notes and letters in behalf of his
his brother he fraudulently represented himself to
| be Thomas w. Smith, and answered general ques-
tons that were put to him concerning his property,
showing his own responsibility. The President and
| Cashier testified that they supposed the defendant
| to be Thomas W Smith, and acted upon that suppo-
| sitiOn
The cause had been tried at the last June Term in
! Canandaigua, before Judge Hall, when the jury
! could not agree upon verdict
| On this trial Judge Nelson charged strongly
against the defendant upon both the facts and the
! law, holding that the defendant, was respon-
sible for the contents of the letters which he dev
cred whether he read them not, and that he must
be taken to have known that the letters introduced
Thomas W. Smith, and that from such personal
| knowledge intention to defraud by passing him
self off Thomas W. Smith, ought to be considered
| as established.
The jury, after being out all night gave verdict
for the plaintiff for nearly ten thousand dollars the
| amount claimed. Steps were Immediately taken to
carry the cause. by writ of error, to the Supreme
| Court of the United States.

WAsHEGToS, Oct 3O.-As much has recently been
said in the public prints about the reconing Of gold
dollars into pieces Of larger denomination, it may
be stated that orders for that purpose have been is
sued from the Treasury Department, in special
cases only, and then ON representation that the
smaller coins occasioned much Inconvenience in the
receipts and disbursements for no sooner are they
paid OUT than they are received again in business
transactions. There seems to be redundancy of
them among commercial classes The Assistant
Treasurer in New York has, for the greater facility
in counting. authorized about two million of them
to be re-coined. The Assistant Treasurer at ST.
Louis upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand
for similar reasons This re-coinage, however, ap-
plies to the original or later issues only which it is
known are smaller in circumference and thicker
than the later and superior coin. OF the former
there are now s9,000,000, and of the latter S6e0O-
coo in circulation. On complaint few days since
from Philadelphia, 100000 were sent from New
York to the mint whence they were withdrawn,
and very many of them again found their way to
New York While the gold dollars are great con-
venience it is considered that there is redundance
of them for large transactions and hence the recent
special orders in relation to the coinage. There
does not seem TO be any purpose so to reduce the
amount of this description Of coin as to inconven-
fence the public.

''Twenty-four designs for the central building Of

tiOn of the Trustees by artists of talent from BOs
ton, New York, Washington, Baltimore, Charleston
New Orleans, Nashville and ST. Louis. We know
not which of several beautiful plans will be adopt
ed. The Trustees were busily engaged in this and
other business for several days"
Concerning the 'rlans, the Charleston Courier has
received infornation that the Committee of Selec-
ton, after full examination limited their choice to
three proposals-one from an architect Of Washing
ton, D. c. smother from a New Orleans architect,
and the third, classic design from a well-known,
gifted and successful young architect of Charleston
The final decision has not yet transpired, and we
shall therefore enter into details of description
but the Courier thinks there is to believe that
the Charleston plan viii be adopted.
