GOLD-THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU-INDIANS LYNCH LAW-CAUSE OF MURDER OF HINDS NEW TOBE AFFAIRS. WASHINGTON:, November 2.-Warrants for coin, for the amount of 523,735,000 were.issucd from the Treasury to-day to piy tho interest on five-twenties. Rnuss^au telegraphs to Schofield that all is quiet iu New Orleans, and that there are no apprehensions for to-morrow. Reports from the agent? of tho Freedmen's Bureau have been received, including one from General Hatch, in Louisiana, who says that it is mainly owing to the inefficiency and miscon? duct of the civilian employees of tho Bureau that it has become so unpopular, and that the freedmen have suffered so much in many of tho pariahes. The failure of the crops thc last t.vo years has prevented many of tho planters from paying their hands, but the negroes seem not to be discouraged. Working for shares has proved a failure, and wages aro being generally paid. The crops this year have beeu excellent, the failure of cotton tho two previous years having caused planters to turn their attention to grain growing. This year the cotton crop bas not been a failure, The health of the ne? groes has been good. There were 480,000 blacks in the State. General Hatch sums up bis criminal circular, and shows that 1GG mur? ders bavi been committed and 225 other out? rages during the past year. In common with the rest, he urges tho continuance of thc Bu? reau, on the ground that it is necessary to the welfare of the negroes. The Indians have removed tho rails on the Omaha Railroad, near Sidney, destroying a freight train and killing a fireman. Five desperadoes wero hung near Gilmore, Neb.aska, on Friday, by a vigilance committee. The St. Louis Republican has a dispatch from Arkansas stating that the death of Hinds, the Radical nieiuber of Congress recently mur? dered, was the result of a difficulty about a female. In New York, Superintendent Kennedy has directed tho police to take n?rnonf? aries' ed for illegal voting befoie tho United States Com? missioner, and not before the city or State courts. The Police Commissioners have given contrary ordars. Tho case of C. B. Samson vs. Chas. A. Dana, for $100,000 for damages for illegal im? prisonment during the war, came up to-day in the Supreme Court of New York. A motion was made to set aside tho order removing the case to tho Supremo Court. The decision was reserved._ NaturalUutioii PHILADELPHIA, November 2.-Judgo Read, in court of Nisi Prius, delivered, this morn? ing, in a naturalization case, an opinion, clos? ing as follows : "Under this state of facts I can come to bat one conclusion, that the whole issac of naturalization certificates by a Ms i Prius branch of the Supreme Court ia contra? ry to the act of Congress and tho act ot' the Assembly, and should be rejected at the polls, and I make tbe following order, that no more aliens be naturalized in this court. " Condensed News by Telegraph. Five men were discoverd while robbing a bank at Alton, New York, but thoy killed the watchman and escaped. Serious riots havo occurred at Rotterdam, and the soldiers were compelled to fire on the citizens, wounding many. Numerous arrests have been made. The Spanish Provisional Government in? tends reinforcing Cuba. Ibo City of Havana is authorized to borrow ten million crowns for the completion of the Ioubel Canal. The American bark Bounding Billow, from Barcelona for New York, lost her main fore top and mizzen mast off tho coast of Portugal on th? 13th of Ootober. Both parties in Savannah claim that they will have the majority- in to-day's election, although the canvassing is progressing quiet? ly. It was cold with a .slight frost and a high wind on Sunday night. The total registration of New York City is 169,000. The Legislature met at Montgomery, Ala., yesterday, but no quorum waa present, and they adjourned until to-day. The streets are crowded with country negroes, many of whom are minors, bnt the election laws of Alabama forbid any challenging of volera. A circular has been issued in New Orleans that is evidently tended to bring on a collision between the whites and blacks at the election. It ia signed by the council of seven, and its bombastic tone alone proves it a humbug. The Republican treats it as a genuine docu? ment. THREATENED ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS.-If, as is apprehended, another eruption of Vesuvius takes place, the London Daily News cays the cfrcumstan< e will indicate a condition of the volcano differing wholly from anything that bas been observed for the past eighteen centu? ries. The eruptions in the course of a year are altogether unprecedented. The history of the mountain since the destruction of Pompeii shows a gradual increase in the rapidity with which one period of activity has followed another. At the commencement of the Chris? tian era, Vesuvius had been so long inactive that it had come to be regarded as an extinct crater. Several eruptions look place before the date of tbe first catastrophe; but from 1306 to 1621 the volcano w as at rest, the interior of the crater was overgrown with brushwood, and at the bottom there was an extensive plain, on which the cattle grazed. In December, 1631, all these roads and pastures were blown away by a terrible explosion. A reBt of thirtv-five years then ensued; but since 1666 Vesuvius has never been quiet ten years together. This increase in the number ol eruptions has not been accompanied by any decrease in their in? tensity. The outbreak of last winter was re? markably violent and persistent. Sinco then the mountain caa hardly be said to have rested. A PRINTER "SETS UP" HIS OWN OBITUARY. Strange as this may appear, it is neverthclep-. true.

About a week before be diec" he was ordered by his physicians to quit w irk, and he did his last type-setting oa a noti< c of his own death, containing his history, &c. The Union finishes the notice with a high compli? ment to the deceased as a printer and a man. WHAT Als. CLARK HEABD.-Afr. R. E. Ciark, of Chicago, gives the history of his adventure in the purchase of a sewing machine thus: 'T examined all kinds, took lessons for a week on the '-,' heard tho Willcox & Gibba de? nounced as 'worthless,' in nearly all tho other sewing machine offices; nevertheless, I order? ed a Willcox & Gibbs-took no instructions am delighted."

TTJE ATLANTIC CABLE.-An cffioial statement has been recently published, giving tho avcr ngo number of messages sent ovcry day over the Atlantic Cable and the average daily re? ceipts dilling thc existence of tho different rates of charges. Whcu the communication was first opened between Ireland and New? foundland ?20 was charged for a nicssace of twenty words of five letters, but this ralo has now been reduced to ?8, and in futuro thc ic striction as to the length of the words will be removed. Under the original tariff, twenty nine messages, paying ?503, were on au aver? age transmitted every day, and under the pre? sent tariff, one hundred and sixty-eight mes? sages paying ?501. Although the proportion between thc reduction of the rate and the in? crease of the bupiuess is not exactly tho same, y<_t thero is sufficient encouragement to still further diminish thc cost of transmitting mes? sages. Tho American managora believe that the pnce should b; decreased until the point is reached when both cables will be fully em? ployed. -Young Cavaignao, whoso friend Genest was expelled from the Lycee for applauding at the recent ?.C.IC ol' which thc former was thc her?), baa fakca his ..wu name off tuc hock? of th. scbjvl in L huh'. TlIEBAXK OF THE STATE CASE. Notes of Argument l>y Hon. Isaac IV. Ha) ne, Counsel for Respondents. The State ex rd. Attorney-General vs. Bank of the State-Mandamus. The facts stated in the return hoing admit? ted by tho relator, and issue being takon on the conclusions of law, Mr. Hayne said that the rule should be discharged-1. Because thc act to close thc Operations of thc Bank of the State, auder which Governor Scott made hiB demand for thc delivery to himself of tho assets and profits of tho Bank, is unconstitutional and void. The bank in 1812 wes chartered by the Stato, and made a body corporate, capable of suing and being sued, of contracting and being con? tracted with, and it continues its corporate existenco to tho present time, shorn, it is truo, sinco 18?5, of some of its powers; but still a corporate body with these capabilities unim? paired. Until 1865, it waa, by its chartor, a bank of issue, discount and deposit, differing irom tho other banking institutions o.'thc State only in thc fact that the State was thc sole stockholder. As a bank of issue, from time io time its notes wera throwu i ito circu? lation, for which tho corporation became a debtor, deposits were received for which the oorporatiou b.camc liable, and in tho course of business various other contracts were en? tered into, binding upon the corporation. A lur^o amount of this indebtedness remains un? paid. Among t hc largest of the debts incurred by thc hauk was that contracted in obedience to tho i-omniaud of the Legislature, under the provisions of thc act of 1838, "for rebuilding the City of Charleston." By this act tho bank was directed to take charge of a fund proposed to bo raised by tho sale of certain bonds known as fire loan bonds, thc said fund becoming a part of the capital of thc bank. The bank was further required to as? sume the entiro indebtedness of the Stato for thc bonds issued-that is, the corporation was offered by the State as a guarantee, and re? quired to provide for tho punctual payment of interest and for tho ultimate redemption of the principal. Tho bonds issued woro, m form, made payable to tho Bank of tho State, were sigued for tho fctato by tho Gover? nor, and countersigned by tho CompirC.".. General, and endorsed and guaranteed by tho President of the bank, in tho name uf said in? stitution. Tbis contract on tho part of the bank (for a guarantee is certainly a contract), which has subsisted for thirty years, was not only directed and approvod, at tho timo, by thc Legislature, but during all this time, year by year, it has been sanctioned by that body. Thc larger part of the indebtedness thus conti ac? ted has been paid by tho bank, but a consid? erable amount is past duo md unpaid. Tho State, the obligor on tho f.tco of tho bond, has failed lo pay, and thc bank, tho guarantor, has had its liability to suit on these bonds fixed,, since the first "of July last, If tho bank is sub? ject to suit, it must be a debtor, and tho party able to sue must be a creditor. These bood holdoiB, then, who hold bonds otidorscd and guaranteed by tho bank, and tho fire loan stockholders, whose 6crip is countersigned by the President of tho bank, are unicup; tho larg? est of the ero.liters of tho bank. I do not speak now of any lieu either apon capital or profits, ul? tim effect of such a lien. I simply call atten? tion to tho fact that Ire fire loan 'bondholders and tire loan stockholders are creditors of tho corporation, tho former having at this mo? ment a good cause of action against said cor? poration for the whole amount of tho debt. The bank, as a result ot tho disasters of the war, became insolvent. It has been notoriously insolvent sinco May, 1865, but is possessed of assets toaconsidcr?bleauiouiit. Tue President and Directors of tho Bank of tho State of South Carolina hold these assets in possessio,), a:ul unquestionably the legal title vests in them. They disclaim, however, all personal interest in said assets, and being as a corporation in? solvent, tho bank itself baa no interest. Thc Presideut and Directors arc advised that they hold thcae aae-cta in trust f jr tho Creditors of thc bank, of which various class? es have been enumera'cd, to wit: billnoldcrs, who aro unquestionably creditors, and who certainly, up to thia time, huvo not renounced their claim on these asscsts. On the contrary, u case is still pending, instituted by billhold ei'8 lor the very purpose of enforcing their claims. Next depoaitors, who atc in no other wisc provided for; then general creditors (of whom there aro some), on account of work and labor dono and material furuishod, &c. and, "last, though not loast," bondholders, claiming under tho contract of guarunieee. Tho act under which (Jov. Scott makes his demand, requires him to take thoso assets out of tho possession of thc President ?ind Di? rectors who hold suid assets " for and on be? half" of creditors into his own possession, lie to hold for and on behalf of the Stato." Thc assets aro by said act directed to ho sold, and tho proceeds placed in tho *. treasury of the Stale," subject ''to tho order of tho Governor." Tho act makes no pro? vision for creditors, save a portion ol' one class, the billholdcrs. Iheso aro author? ized to fund thoir bills Hid receive bonds of thc State payable in twenty years. Thc act then cannot intend that tho Governor should hold the assets for this class of credit ns. As to every other class of creditors, whether de? positors, general cou tractors, or those contract? ing auder gaarautoo, they ure neither named or alluded to in tho act. To infer a trust for creditors, in such a transfer, ia not only wholly gratuitous, but docs violence to th", obvious intent and meaning of the act, win n construed as a whola. Governor Sent?, un? der the act, i.--, in ono souse, a trasteo, but he is a trustee not for the ci editors ot thc oor? poratiou, but for the State, (?iv! cor|K>rator. t: sole stockholder, iu thin cate tho cr-tlebi r with tho corporation. Diesel si_v i that . is to take possession "for sud in bo..ail of tho Stato." The assets :i?'- h .*i i>> th-j president and directors "for ?in : in . ojaii" of the credi? tors, and these arc required to be taken by thc Governor "?or and in behalf of the Stale." They are to bo taken "lor tho State." to bc placed in tho "treasury of thc State," and to bo subject to "the order of the Governor ot tho State." If it can be called ' implication" at all, rather than an express provision, Hie proceeds of thc sale of thc b.?n!;s assets taken "for and in behalf of the State," and to be de? posited in tho "treasury of the State," subject "to the order of the Governor of t.'io State," by inevitable implication, are to bo held for thc use of the State. If this bo thc true construction of thc act, it manifestly impairs tho obligation of the bank's contracts with ita ci editors by talana away the assets of au insolvent bank, which belong solely to thc creditors. Jud^e Husrcr, in pro? nouncing thc opinion of thc Court of Appeals io Ibis State, iu regard to lilia wty bauk, says : "The capital of the bank ia vested in thc President and Directors, as trustees, and can? not, legally or morally, le diverted to any other purposo than payment of ti e debts of | the bank, not even by the State." Billis adi. thc State; 2 McCord's L. lt. 19 and 20. But docs it vary the case, if the act bc con? strued as constituting Governor Scott, as Gov? ernor, or thc State of South Carolina, instead of the ''Presideut and Directors of thc Bank," trustee for thc creditors? The act still would impair thc obligation of the contracts of thc bank with its creditors. "Tho Bank of the Slate ol Arkansas''was a banking institution, formed on tho model ol' thc Bank of the State of South Carolina, l'or the moat part, the charters arc the same. They arc identical in the tnatter ol the State hoing the sole stock? holder :u both. Uhe case of Curran vs. the Stato ot Arkansas and thc Bank ot thc Slate of Arkansas, 15tlt Howard, 3?3, decides this ease. No ingenuity can suggest a fair, reasonable and honest difference between the two cases. I accordingly adopt, said Mr. H., as my argu? ment to prove tho unconstitutionality of the act to close thc operations of thc hank, thc opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in thc case of Curran vs. the State cf Arkansas, as pronounced by Judge Cartis. Among other passap s read by Mr. Hayne were the followiug, to wit : "Wbeu this ban'-- became insolvent, and its assets were insufficient to perform Us engage? ments, it is manifest that every part of those aes?ls stood bound bv the contracts which had been made with tho bank upon thc faith of tke 1'uuds thus tot apart bv thc charter; and it is equally clear that tho bank no langer had in its possession a:iv capital stock belong? il to thc State. Whatever losses a bani; sus? tains are losse-i of thc capital paid iu by ita stockholders; that is the univ fund it has to lose. W hen it bas become insolvent it has lust all that fund, and has nothing belonging to its stockholders, hi some scu*c a bank may bc said to be indebted to its stockholders tor tho capital they have paid in. With the leave of tho State they have a right to with? draw it alter all debts are paid, and if ibo State is itself thc solo stockholder, it may i draw its capital while any of it remains", from the very nature of things it cannot fl draw capital from an insolvent bank, bec it has none of their o ipital remaining. \\ insolvent its assets belong SOLELY to its a (ors. (15 How., 315.) " the result is that so much of oach of said laws" * * "as authorized and requ the withdrawal of any part of ?bo spccii other propertv of that bank, and tho ap priatiou thereof to thouso of the State," "impaired thc obligation of contracts n with the complainant as the lawful bolder bearer of bills of tho bank, and so were operative and invalid." (15 How., 321.) These uassages alone are conclusive of unconstitutionality of thc act, according to first construction. As to tho construction I thc State, or the Governor as such, was a ti tee for creditors of the bank, Mr. Hayue re particularly on thc following passage, to i "If this law bad contained only the first : tion, vesting thc real property of thc bani the State, aud providing no remedy by wi this complainant, as a creditor of tho ba could roach it, we think it would have impai thc obliga!ion ol his contracts. True, it d not touch the right of acti ni against the ba it only withdraws the real property from reach of legal process, and Ihus'aflects rcrnedv. But it by no means follows, beca a law "affects only thc remedy, that it does impair the obligation of the contract. 1 obligation of a contract, in the senso in wli those words are used in Ibo constitu? ion, that duty of performing it, which is rccogni: and enforced by thc laws. And if the Jaw so changed that tho means of legally cnforci this duty are matt nally impaired, the obli| tion of contract no longer remains tho sam (15 How., 310.) * * "Tue law now in quest!; n withdra thc real property of thc bank altogether fri thc reach of legal process, provides no subi tuted remcdv, and leaves tho creditor, RS truly said by" tho Supreme Court or Arlcaus in a condition iii which his nrhta live but grace, ana his remedies in entreaty onl (15 How., 323. ) In tho caso ol' thc Bank or tho Stato South Carolina, as matters stoo.l before the ; stitution of any of the pending suits, on tho p; sage of thc act of 1868, the creditors of t baul? might have sued at la>v tho said corpoi tion, and, upon obtaining judgment, have sued execution which could take effect upon a of the taugiblo property of the said bank, ar by precerL'.r.s vi Kp'1?, CTSM have subject all tho assets to tho payment of debts; b under tho act of 1S68, if Governor Scott tal possession of the properly of tho bank and assets, how a e they to bo roached by ie. process? A judgment against llobcrt K." Set as an individual would be ineffcctal, aDd Governor no judgment could be obtained, oi obtained would bc equally ineffectual; for t tho act requires him to sell tho property ai assets of tho bank and place tho proceeds salo in tho "Treasury of the State, subject tho order of the Governor." If once withdraw from tho treasury by bim, and subscquenl mixed willi thc general funds of tho State, expended by him, it could not be reached 1 auy proceedings either in law or equity. Til surely "affecte tho remedy md impairs thc o ligation of thc contract in thc sense in wbii these words arc used in thc constitution." I shall not insist at length on thc effect tho lilli section ol thc act ot 1865 lo raise su plies, which directs thc bank to hold thc assc of tho bank for thc benefit, first, of thc fi loan bondholders in Europ;? and, second, fi tho fire loan stockholders tn America, an (bird, lot- tho billholdcrs. lt ii, as I conceiv not nccoosary for (ho pui'pscs of this eas But this act once ?iclcd up<u by thebauk an accepted by thc preferred creditors, was, i my opinion,ta "cont: act." The President at Directors dui accept it, and they so informe the Barings; thc Barings approved, and !arp amounts of money have been paid in conforn itv with tito said act. And it is submitted Un this act, considered as the instruction ot tl sole stockholder, r.n-l having been adopted un acted upon by the President and directors i tho bank, and* accepted and actod cn by t!

(Sec Burrill, on Assignments.} Titi act, therefore, wacthcr called a statutory as sig? mont, or by any other name, has cleated contract which cannot now bo impaired by an State legislation. Whether raen assigninoQ) instituted by tho solo stockholder and earrie out by the corporation, was in all respect equitable, is1 not now in question. Tho la then sanctioned such an assignment, It wa IctroJ and binding as a ooutract, aud caunol either by tho Haukrnpt Act (which is not root spec!ive aa to this point) or by the Legislatur of 1868, bc abrogated or "impaired." Thc act of the l.cgishture ol' 1868 in rc quiring thc seizure ol' the assets, "for und i behalt of tho Stato," impairs tho obligation c tho contracts made under and by virtue c three proceeding acts-ibo act of charter i 1812, thc fire loan act of 1858, and tho act. c 1S65, violating the faith pledged in all the throe The cases of Curran vs. tho State of Arkansas und of Billia ads. tho State of South Carolina aro sufficient for this head. No other au tborities need bo cited. 2. Tho rule should bc discharged, bocana the subject matter here ii controversy, to wit thc validity of thc act under thc provisions o which Governor Scott cbmunds the assets o the bank, and tho duty md obligation of tin president mid directors lo deliver ?aid assola is "Lis pendons" ia tho Circuit Court of tin United Status, in thc casi of Baring Brothers & Co. vs. thc President und Directors of the Bank of tho Stato ot South Carolina, lloberl K. Scott, Governor, et al. Tho nani suit is a bill filed on tho equity ake of said court, pray? ing that the said ItoborlK. Scott, whether ?is Governor or "in any other capacity,-'and "all other persons," bo rosraincd and enjoined from cxrciliug that part?an of thc act foi closing tho operations of the Bank of the State ut Suntu Carolina, which requuoa that posses? sion can bo taken of those assets "foi and in behalf of thc Stato or South Carolina," and that thc said Prcsidcutrod Directors, and C. M. Fur man, and Thomas lt. Waring, bc re? strained and enjoined from delivering tho samo, ii'idor said act. and that such portion of said act should bo pronounc? ed unconstitutional, void, and no law, inasmuch aa it "impairs thc obligation of con? tracts" already made. Ibis is tho very subject in controversy hore. This bill was tiled on tho 12th of October inst. Subpoena ad responden duui was immediately seived, with a copy of the bill, on tho President and Directors of the Bank of the Stato of South Caroliiia.ou Chas. M. Pur? umu, Thomas ll. Waringand Ariiokius V. Daw? son; a subpoena ad resinudenditm issued to llobcrt li. Scott, and was served on him with a copv of thc bill on thc U'.h day of October.and a copy of thc bill was served on thc Attorney Gcnoral the same day. Hie Governor was, im? mediately on tho tiling of tho bill, notified by letter that a motion foi a writ of injunction would bc made at such lime as would suit his convenience. Governor Scott declined to name a time, and made application for thc manda? mus. Formal notices of thc time and place that tho motion for thc writ of injunction would bc made were then served on all tho de? fendants. Tapping's Mandamus, pago 23, lays it down that "it is a principal ol' law that whero a matter is in conlrovers; beloro a competent jurisdiction the Court oi li. lt. will not inter? fere by mandamus." Sec also ibid 38 and 278, Rex v?. Uav, i Burrows 2295, Ilex vs. Bettes? worth, 2 Strange lill, 1 Term Kcpona, 403. It would aeem that it o.ily remains toiuquiro whether the Circuit Court has jurisdiction. Baring Brothers & Co. aro aliena; Maria Sim? ons and Jauc V. Bowley are citizens of New York; thc corporation having thc funda in cus? tody is a corporation or the S:ate ot Sjuth Carolina. C. M. Format!, Thomas It. Waring and A. V. Dawson, are citizens or South Caro? lina. S?foras these inities aro concerned, the court clearly has jurisdiction. The subject maller of thia".suit is not included in a suit hereafter to bc eousid-red, in thc Court of Equity of this State, imsnnich as the matter submitted to the United States Court has ariseu subsequently, aud ali the questions submitted to thc State Cc-uri aie still before it for adjudi? cation. Whether Governor Scott can be hold to an? swer as a party defendant, and bc subjected to tho order of thc court, is controverted, but tho caso has a status in tho court without bim, and the matter is oqua'ly lis peudetis without him. I hubinit, however, that under this act Gov? ernor Scott is required to perform a mere min? isterial act, sopante and apart from his "high functions" as Chief Magistrate of tho State. The duly might hare been imposed on any other officer as well, or on any special agent not an officer. The act of taking possession has no official discretion attached to it, and i consider thc Governor a proper parly upon de? cided oases. "Belwceu courts of concurrent jurisdiction the court that first oblaius possession of the controversy must bc allowed to dispose of it finally without interference or interruption from tho co-ordinate court." Conklins's Trea? tise, 273. Seo also Hagan vs. Lucas. 10 Peters, 4C0; Freeman vs. Howe. 24 How., 450. For jurisdiction of United States Court to rostraiu Stato officers, eec Conklintr's Trea? tise, 162. Osborn vs. Bank of United States. 9 Wheaton, 757; Marbury vs. Madison, 1 Cranch. The exemption of tho State iroin suability is no objection to proceeding against its offi? ce s for executing an unconstitutional law. (Osborn vs. Bank of United States, 9 Wheaton, 762, 768.) Even though the State be intoicst ed and not a party, because not subject to jurisdiction of court. (Same case, 757; Woo? rut! vs. Trapnall, 10 How.) State stript of its sovereignty by becoming stockholder in a corporation. (Conkhng's Treatise, 157, 159; Bank of United States vs. The Planters Bauk of Georgia, 9 Wheaton. 954.) Besides thc case commented on, there is a case pending in the Court of Equity of this State, styled "Dabney, Morgan & Co., va. tho Bank of the State of South Carolina and others." Jurisdiction of the Court is undoubt? ed, nnd all parties in interest are represented, including the Attorney-General of South Caro? lina. Thia caso arises on a bill filed by a hold? er ot thc bills or notes of the bank, praying that thc as3Cts now proposed to bc taken by tho Governor should be appropriated to tho billholders. The prayer is alternative that thc assets sh uld go oither to the billholders ia preference to all other creditors, or to the bill holders pro raia with oilier creditors. Thc President and Directors answer that tbev aro stakeholdcra, but that under tho act of 1865 they aro ordered to pay, dst, tho fiic loan bondholders in Europe;* second, tho tire loan stockholders in thc United States; and third, tho billholders; and defend this act as in con? formity with thc duty of tho bank, as imposed by the act of 1838, and tho cquitio3 ot the par? ties intercatod. Thc Barings were afterwards made defendants by consent, who claimed not ouly that good faith required that the act of 1835 should be carried out, but that tho act of 1833 gave them a lieu on the assola of thc bank, and that tho act of 18 ?5 was but a con? firmation of thc act ot 1838. Whether thc pledge bo of "profits" only, or of the wholefire loan "fund" is immaterial, as I conceive. A pledgo of "prouts" until a debt is paid is a pledge, until that event, of tho fund 118011". Besides, in this case, it can be shown that thc bank has returned to the State tho entire capital, with seven per cont, interest thereon, and that tho whole of the assets con? sist of "profits." These "profits" were directed to be made a "sinking fund," to be held for tho ultimate redemption of the firo loan debt. It can be shown that all of the most valuable of these assets were in fact purchased by the money arising from these "profils," and invested in the aseets now held by tho bank. But all this, I bavo suppose.I, was only material in tho case in equity, which is intended to determine tho order of priority among creditors, lt is sufficient, on this occasion, to show that thc funds sought to bo taken are subject to the Court of Equity for distribution among creditors to whom," (tho creditors,) as is decided by thc Supremo Court of tho United States, they " solely belong." In addition to thc return of Us penden? tbua arising, it is urged that tho decretal ordcra of Chancellor Carroll give a vested rieht to tho parties in all tho benefits to bo derived there? from. Tiie jurisdiction of tho court was confirmed by tho Convention, has never been token away by tho Legislature, and it is un? heard of legislation that a particular case should bo taken out of the courts and tho subject matter disposed of by thc Legislature. It ia au interference with vested rights, and an "impairing of tho obligations of con? tracts," in tho sonso in which contracts are protected by thc Constitution of tho United ' States. I These points SL\ H. thought so Conclusivo | that he only briefly touched on those that fol- , low. Mandamos should not bc grantod when it wiil subject those executing it to legal liability, lapp. Man. 69; Box vs. D.ivroll, 8 Eu?. C. L. lt. 139; Queen vs. Pitt, 37, Eng. C. L. rt. 107. President and Directors would bc liablo to a suing crclttor. And cashier would bo liable on Ina bond if he obovod an order palpably il legal. They arc liiiblo in too suit pending. Certainly aro liable should they disregard thu deerot.iforders of Chancellor Carroll; and bav iutr been notified of tho motion of Barm? Bros. & Co. for inj unction, arc bound to await tho decision.

Parlies interested in defence should ba mado parties. Augel & Amos on Corp. 581; ilex vs. Banks 3; Burrows 1452. Thc juriadiction of thc court to command tho particular act or duty must bo clear, otherwiae it will not interfere. Tapp. Maud. ll. In conclusion, it is submitted that nothing could bo more ungenerous and unjust than to charge tho Directora of tho bank with contu inacv as standing out improperly against thc authority ol tho Stato. As stakeholdcra, they have duties to perform and obligations of honor, as well as legal. They aro trufiteoa, and as such they surely are uot to shrink from thc duties which the law, as woll as good faith aud personal honor requirea, simply because they have "nothing to gain." Are duty and good faith the leas sacred becauso there ia "nothing to gain" by observing them ? Tho director have no "salarios," however "paltry thc sum." They have nono at all, nor have they enioht iii nts ol auy kind, or incidental advantages, all of which is set forth in their return. They have, however, as trustoos, legal responsibili? ties, and as men of honor and probity, they feel that these arc not thc less obligations be? cause their performanca gives no "gain." And in regard to thc sui in thc United States Court, can it, with any propriety, be said that Barium Brothers it Co. arc "presumptuous tn tcrineddleraV" They are creditors of the bank, with bouda past due and unpaid. Is it pre? sumptuous in a debtor to inlonned.Uo wheu ibo . assets of his debtor aro thc subject of contro? versy? Is it "prcsumpttiona" for a creditor to protest against thc act of thu co-debtor, who 1 has failed to meet hi? engagements, when lin attempts to possess himself ot these asacta? The Baringa, besides this, claim a speedie lieu in preference to all other creditors-a lien, as they bclievo, created by tho act of 1838. attcmpiod to be enforced and confirm od by the act of 1865, and constantly acknowle Ig cd and confirmed by tho batik, which, for thirty years, baa been the debtor with whom they "have dealt. But they submit this aa they do their entire claim against thc bank to thc adjudication of tho courts, and ask. on thc ptescut occasion, only that the tunda which b?long certainly to thc creditors should not bc placed beyond tho reach of the couria and the proceedings already instituted. Aro thoy to be stigmatized for "thia? Whether they are to bc preferred or not, they lcavo to future ad? judication; but that they are creditors cannot bc doubted, and as such tho president and directors of thc baDk are bound by every prin? ciple of law, of good faith and honor, to pro? tect them, although they may "gain nothimr" in the contest but thc consciousness of duty performed.
