Jefferson ssShorI.''
MS FINANCIAL TROUBLES AT THE END OF
HIS PUBLIC LIFE.

MS FINANCIAL TROUBLES AT THE END OF
HIS PUBLIC LIFE.
Jefferson's final release from public
life, after nearly continuous service of
Al years, was now at hand. During the
last year of his presidency he had lost in
some degree .'the run of his private af-
fairs-a fact which any one will under
stand who has ever been absorbed for a
long time in concerns of magnitude and
and difficulty, not personal Every one
who has ever put his whole heart into
writing book or conducting a periodi
cal understands it. Groceries elude the
sweep of vision that takes in all the af-
fairs and interests of great country or
a great subject" and no man can easily
subside from the triumph of an import
ant measure or the rapture of a ''good
number" to that exact consideration
which monthly accounts demand. Little
by little, the mind floats away from all
that detail until, at last, kind of real
inability to grasp it takes the place of
former vigilant attention; which is only
another way of saying that president
should be, if convenient, married man.
A few months before his retirement it
occurred to him to look into his affairs,
and see how he was coming out on the
4th of March, 1909. To his consterna-
and horror, he found that there would
be a most serious deficit. His planta-
tons had only yielded four or five thou
sand dollars year, at the best but the
embargo, by preventing the expectation
of tobacco, had cut his private income
down two-thirds. Nothing" he wrote
to his merchant in Richmond, chad been
more fixed than my determination to keep
my expenses here within the limits of my
salary, and had great confidence that |
had done-so. Having, however, trusted
to rough estimates by my head, and not
being sufficiently apprised of the out
standing accounts | find, on review of
my affairs here, as they will stand on
the Sd of March, that | shall be three
or four months salary behindhand. In
ordinary cases the degree of arrearage
would not be serious, but on the scale
of the establishment here it amounts
to seven or eight thousand dollars,
which, being to come out of my pri-
vate funds, will be felt by them
sensibly." He requests his correspond
ent to arrange loan for him al the
Richmond bank, and urges him to lose
no time. s'Since / have become sensi-
BILE of this deficit" he added, 81 have
been under an agony of modification,
and therefore must solicit much ur-
gency in the negotiation as the case

PROTESTED.

BY request, we propose to enter just
far enough into discussion of the law
governing commercial paper to show
what is the legal meaning of the term
protested as used in the current liter
allure of the day. Our friend who
makes the request does not expect that
we shall go into an exhaustive desserta-
ton upon this subject, if we had the
time and ability to do so only that
from our article he can know what is
our idea of the mans situation
when his paper has gone to protest,
and we will endeayor to briefly reply in
that view of the inquiry; and in this we
shall only refer to the law of protest
for non-payment of promissory notes,
without any reference to the dishonor of
bills of exchange, and protests for non
acceptance of bills, or any other phase
of the law upon this fruitful and com
plicated subject. In the first place, too,
we may say by way of preface, that the
protest of negotiable paper must be
made by a Notary Public in all places
where such an officer is within reach.
but if a Notary cannot be procured the
law merchant provides way of bridging
over that difficulty.
AS notes are usually drawn they are
made payable to the order of some par
ticular person, either at a particular
place, or generally, and at some time
stated in the body of the note. The
maker of the note is bound to pay it at
all events, and no protest is required to
charge him; but when other parties are
collaterally liable as endorsers, they are
not liable to pay the note, unless it is
duly presented, payment demanded and
refused and the note duly protested for
non-payment. In this view it is import
ant sometimes to consider who is primar-
lily liable and who collaterally liable to
pay the note. AS notes are usually
made the object OF. protest is to hold
the endorsers, and the question has been
often made as to the status of person
who has written his name upon the back
of the note, for while an endorsement in
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-11-06

its genealogical significance means a
signing or writing on the back, its legal
significance is considerably narrower
than that, and where a man signs his
name upon the back of the note, simply
to give it the additional credit of his
name and he is not the payee, nor per-
son to whom it has been transferred or
endorsed from the payee, such person is
in law maker of the note, and is not
discharged from liability to pay by reason
of an omission to present for payment
and to protest.
An endorser, for whom protest is
necessary to perfect his liability, is the
payee of the note or some subsequent
party to whom it has been endorsed,
who has written his name upon the back
of the note. In the theory of business
and of law no person can be an endors
er of a negotiable note, unless he has
first been payee, either by being such
in the original transaction or by subse-
quent endorsement to him. If he does
not stand in that relation, but has signed
his name across the back of the paper
his legal liability is no greater nor no
less than though he had signed upon the
face, and he is regarded as maker, IN
less he can bring himself into situation
where he would be held as guarantor.
So what is meant when we speak of pa
mi hoy fn 10 OH nj W
that the holder has taken the necessary
legal steps to charge the endorsers and
collateral parties, and this must necessari-
ly imply that the maker has failed to
meet his obligation to pay his note. The
note is said to be dishonored, and unless
there is some good reason for the failure,
the maker is also dishonored as bust
ness man, and his credit in the market
seriously impaired.
Immediately after the dishonor of
commercial paper, and the completion
of the proper steps to charge endorsers
and other collateral parties, the holder
has a right of action against all parties,
and he may at once commence suits at
law to enforce payment, so when note
is protested everybody may understand
that all the parties liable upon it may
be at once sued and their property at
tached TO secure its payment There is
also further meaning to the term as
applied to particular trades and profess
sions, among which mercantile honor is
considered more sacred than among
other people, and that is this: that any
person who is a banker, broker, nler-
chant, trader, manufacturer or miner,
that shall stop or suspend and not re-
sumo payment of his commercial pa
per within a period of fourteen days,
shall be deemed to have committed an
act of bankruptcy, and may be so ad-
judged upon proper application. This
is another of the results of dishonor
of this kind of paper, and protest of
notes will carry this result if the party
comes within the terms of the above
definition. If we understand the request
made of us, the.foregoing is full, but,
of course, very brief reply, and we hope
we have made ourselves understood, al
though the space is small for so large a
subject.

ORWELL.

.
The crystal wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. D. Griswold was celebrated at their
elegant residence on the evening of Nov.
Sd, by gathering of relatives and
friends to the number of one hundred.
1t is rarely indeed that one meets SO
pleasant a party, and the occasion will
not soon be forgotten. Many delightful
memories of by-gone years were awak-
ened, and many wishes uttered for the
future happiness and prosperity of our
genial host and hostess. Among the
presents, which were numerous and
tasteful, we netice the goblets presented
by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen GoodelI,
and Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ Bishop
of Brandon also two goblets, beauti-
fully etched, from Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ.
Wright. During the evening rich and
bountiful collation. of oysters, meats,
cake, etc., was served. Music and
dancing enlivened the occasion, and it
was not until late hour that the COM
pany separated, bidding grateful adieu
to their kind and genial host and hostess,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. d. Griswold. May they
live to celebrate their golden wedding
and we be there to see.

which generally ranged from fifteen to
