PUNCHING DEAD LIoN.-The Union
has declared Elk. President Buchanan politi.
caly dead, buried and forgotten, often
and over again: yet we find quite lengthy
leader in that sheet of Monday last, devoted
to the old gentleman's destruction. How
bad government in 1859, and 1860, can be
made responsible for bad government under
an entire different set of officers in 1861,
we leave that sagacious old lady to further
explain.
If Republicanism won't work, we don't
see hex Buchanan can be held responsible
for the fact.

STATUTE LIMITATIONS ON JUDGEMENTS
Judge Campbell of the Twelfth District
Court, on Saturday rendered an important
opinion in relation to the action OF the
Statute of limitations on judgements. In
the case of Thos. b. Valentine VS.. WIN. B.
Cooke, an action brought upon Judgement
recovered by plaintiff against defendant in
1854. Defendant denies the complaint and
relies on the Statute Of limitations present
ing the single point whether domestic Judge.
ments are included within the 18th or 10Th
Sections of that Statute. The Judge over
ruled the demurrer to the complaint, on the
ground tina, he did not think the Legislature
intended to include domestic judgements in
the four or five years clause Of Section II.
Of the Act passed April 22d. 1850. nor with.
in Section IS of the same Act. Judgements
run naturally five years, and the law allows
execution year after that period has elaps.

our Statute Of limitations effects judgem Mt

The Great Seal of State.

In former times there was much more mpor-
lance given to the authorization Of all instru-
ment of writing or Of a public official act, by
And this for good reason. In the fourteenth,
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but few Of the
landholders and great magnates Of England, were
skilled in the use OF the quil-not even to the
extent Of writing their names. and the seal, like
the sgnet ring of the knight, answered for sigma
ture and warrant OF authority. 1t not only was
evidence of an act we'll considered and solemnly
DONE but was the only indication of its genuness,
as the act of the party vino purported to have
done it. To this day we preserve in our law a
certain distinction between sealed and unsealed
instruments, but the reasons for it have passed
with the unettered, rude times from which we
derive the use of seals. When james the second.
was about secretly fleeing from England. he
threw the great Seal of State in the Thames
river, whence after many months it was accden
tally caught by fishing net and dragged up.
doubts arose as to the legitimacy of official acts
of the King, and of the laws, approved and not
attested to by this great seal.
Gov. Caleb jackson, of Missouri. seems to have
been in an equally unfortunate position. lately.
we learn from the report Of General Price. of
the siege aud conquest ut Lexington. He says.
in giving an account of the trophies of his vic
tory: In az, ton to all this obtained the res
toration Of the Great Seal of the State. and the
public records. which had been stolen from their
proper custodian" The Governor" is all right
now he got the seal back. AS we learn he has
held session of the Legislature since this, and
Pike is sound now on the law

A new General in the Field.

Since the N. Y. Tribune has resigned the
management Of the war; various aspirants
have sprung up, ambitious to fill its place.
Lately our neighbor Of the Sac. Union, has
taken stock in that line Only hear him on
coast and harbor operations:
"What ships are blockaling Savannah! If
they cannot prevent gish steamers loaded
with munitions of war from running past
them, the Government had better purchase
old hunks in New York. and with them
close the port of Savannah. And since the
Merrimac steamer, which was UNANIMOUSLY
sunk in shallow water at the Gnsport Navy
Yard, BY an American Commodore, has
been raised and steel plated. the best plan
to adopt is to sink huks in the channel Of
the harbour Of Norfolk So as to prevent her
ever getting out If she leaves port sue
ressfuy she will be found hard nut to
crack"
This is brilliant idea OF the Commodore
only sink these hnllls and they answer
double purpose, to prevent both egress and
ingress Destroy the harbors, if you cannot
blockade them This is the Unions idea Of
protecting the property of the United States.

thousands in California in 1860, as Uniou
candidate for President. We congratulate

If Mr. Breckenridge had been elected
President of the United States, there would
have been no secession on the part of a
single State Of the South, and the Union
would have been preserved. Yet the Sac
Union oppose him then, knowing that dis
union would follow bis defeat. Who were
the traitors of 1860?

Mrs S. NJ Reynolds with t,cO horse whips! Mrs.
r. not liking this proceeding, made one COM
plant before our Police Judge, and the case was
set for hearing on Monday last In the mean
time the counsel of Mrs. Lewis had approached
Mrs R. and with fee of $50 settled the civil
dangers supposed to accrue for said faggellaton.
But the counsel for Mrs. r. was paid for dragging
the particulars before the public, and a criminal
examination was insisted upon-and the great
denOument was made by the complaining witness
on Tuesday afternoon, that she had been ,Dhipped.
The defendant, however, was sharp enough to
avoid the exposure OF the cause by offering no
defense, and pleading guilty. Another $40 heal
ed the whole case, and very much disappointed
the gaping public who were almost spelling for
the full particulars. relating to the why and
wherefore of this sudden assault of one fair lady

horsewhips! The attorney for the prosecution,
J. W. Cotfroth, through the entire case, appeared
