ty for the benefit Of one or more of his
creditors to the exclusion Of all others {:
and whether this Objects sought to be
effected by aJ3rmal deed OF the assign
inent, or in any other mode, Tan make no
differ nce. Any other view, it seems to
w, would sacrifice substance to mere
form, and enable insolvent debtors. by
evasion, to effect a purpose declared by
Statute to be unlawful. The Statute Is
n remedial onc, aud should be so con.
strued as to suppress tsc mischief which
It was manifcstty designed to prevent.
1t being conceded, that as We have.
seen, that the object Of Kitchens and
Wilks wax, by the a of the papers
above referred to, determined on in the
outset " etect an assignment of the
property Of A. f. Kitchens, who was
then insolvent,tfo the benefit of WilkS
and the estate Of Patterson, to the en-
cluSion Of all the other creditors of
Kitchens, the transaction was in violation
OF the Statute and therefor. void.
The Judgment Of this Court is that
the judgment Of the Circuit Court bc
reversed and the case be rc,nandcd to
that Court for n new trinl.
Judge MCGOWAN concurs in the opin-
ION, saying:
copcur upon the additional ground
that the conveyance Of the land to Wilks
IN consideration that he would pay tho
donors debt to the Patterson estate was
substantially ian assignment" for the
payment Of that debt. 1t has none of
the CHARACTERISTICS Of u sale pure and
simple, but rather of all assignment, in
which priority was given to certain cred
itor, to the exclusion of all others. 1t
seems to me that If parties could ESCAPE
the consequences Of this just provision
OF the law, simply by avoiding the use
OF the word "asSisnmcnt," the Act
woul soon become IL dead letter.

A Nomination by President Wash.
inStOn Rejected.

The question of the probable action Of
the Senate in regard to the nominations
of the President recalls the first instance
Of the rejection Of Q nomination by the
Senate. 1t was Washington's nomination
of Colonel Benjamin Fishbourne as Naval
Officer at Savannah.
Washington, while promptly substitute
ing another name, sent q respectful re-
monstrance to the Senate, showing q
painful consciousness of what be con
sidered to be a reflection cast upon his
judgment or his motives. He said that he
did not doubt the reasons for rejection
seemed to the Senate to be ample, but he
submitted whether, when the propriety OF
a nomination appeared to be questionable,
it might not be ~expedient to ask the
reasons. He proceeded at once to state
the grounds upon which he had made the
nomination, which were entirely conclu.
siye. Washington's statement was SO
impressive that the Senate Immediately
confirmed the nomination Of the substi-
tute, and no other nomination Of Wash.
ington 9 was ever rejected.
The only reason known for the refusal
Of the Senate to confirm Colonel Fish
bourne was the %opppoition of the Senators
from Georgia, which was supposed to be
political, and of the kind which has since
become so familiar. This incident fur
nishes the first illustration in our annals
Of the monstrous abuse known as the
courtesy of the Senate.
