The charge of the judge, «f*id*"tl?c
verdict of the jury in the late Mills case,
has met a reluctant, but general approv-
al of the people and the press of Texas.
The Messrs. Mills had violated a law, and
the people consent to see the penalty in-
dicted. But while they approve the ^;x-
ecution of the judgment of the court, the
policy of the law on which that judgment
is founded, cannot fail to meet their con-
demnation.
The offense of the Messrs. Mills was
the violation of an impolitic, arbitrary
statute. Their act was no offense in it-
self, it was not malum in se. The neces-
sities of the commerce of Texas requir-
ed that some one should do the act, for
which they are to be punished. But for
the statute their act would not only have
been lawful, but meritorious and highly
proper. If commerce is lawful, and if it
deserves public encouragement, all the
acts that its necessities suggest as aux-
iliary to, or promotive of it, arc not only
proper, but they ought to be exercised,
under such restrains, as prudence may
dictate. By good management the Mes
srs. Mills had earned an undoubted cred.
it. They loaned that credit to others for
pay. This was the substance of their of-
fense.
We can imagine a period in the growth
of commerce, when its necessities sug-
gested the very act of these men. True,
we cannot fix upon the precise date of
that period; but we are not inclined to
locate it on this side of the deluge. We
can imagine the time when commerce
was so young, that the loaning of an un-
doubted credit to others was the ultima-
thule of its progress and improvement.
There can be no doubt but that at that
age, commerce had men to do for it, the
very act, for which the Messrs. Mills will
be punished.
Time was in the age of commerce when
there was no credit. Our constitution
endeavors to make our commerce synchro-
nous in point of fact, with that remote
period.
W c can see the time in the history of
commcrce when this great improvement
was abused. We can see its liability to
abuse in Texas. How did commerce
remedy the abuse? By legalizing and
adopting the principle, and by subjecting
it to the control of law, and putting it
under proper restraints. No other rem-
edy can be found in Texas.
The offense of the Messrs. Mills con-
sisted in this endorsing and pnting into

PoMKTllIXfi TO MAKE A NoTK OF.—The
C States house of representatives, says
the Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer, lias
passed a bill to authorise the people of
Minesofa to form a State constitution
propatory to admission as a State into
the Union. ost of (he southern rep-
resentatives opposed the b 11, because it
will increase the preponderance of the
'free' States, and they wished to hold the
euestion in reserve., so .^s to couple it
hereafter with a proposition to admit
some territory as a State with a consti-
tution tolerating slav ry. But twelve
southern members voted for the bill, in
connection with the groat body of black
| republicans. Messrs. Boceck, of Vir-
ginia, Aiken of South Carolina, < olib
: Georgia, and Quitman, of Mississippi
— ii...„rs from their rcspcc-
that act, cxccpt in the violation of an
impolitic statute. In that act, they but
obeyed the imperious demands of the ne-
cessities of commerce. If this act be an
evil, their punishment will be no remedy
for it; others, over whom our penal laws
have no control, will do the very same
act. Then why punish Tcxans for an act
that others will do in spite of us. The
idea of keeping a paper circulating me-
dium, out of the commercial transactions
of Texas, is puerile and preposterous.
Our recollection of history says, that
the unjust imprisonment of an obscure
individual, gave rise to that noble princi-
ple in English law, known as the Habeas
Corpus act. Our judgment says, that the
punishment of the Messrs. Mills will
arouse the people to action, and impel
them to resume that sovrcignty wrested
from them by the politicians of the State,
to legalize banking. The principle of
the law, under which the Messrs. Mills
were punished, is ingrafted into the con-
stitution of the State, and we feel assur-
ed that the people will change it. And
we say the sooner the better. The day
of hard money humbiiggery has passed.

This gentleman is before the people of
the First Congressional District of this
State, as a candidate for the nomination
for Congress, at the Convention to be
held at Tyler. In this instance the office
seeks the man; and not the man the of-
fice. Col. Ward has been absent from
the State almost continuously for a year,
and could not have any agency in bring-
ing his name before the people.
One of the primary principles of the
party, with which we, as an individual,
co-operate, is that "the office should /seek
the man." Of course then, Col. W. is
the man of his party, whom we prefer
above others, for lie is the only one that
we know of in that predicament. If lie
has an opponent from the opposite party,
we shall be bound to vote for that oppo-
nent. Though our position as the con-
ductor of an independent journal, devo-
ted to State matters, will not permit
us to advocate, or to oppose the one or
the other, we, not willing to conceal
our views, make this declaration. And
we would have made it, even, had not
some of the democratic papers made it
for us long in advance.
The remarks of the Texas Republican,
that the American party and Judge Ev-
ans would prefer any man of the Demo-
cratic party to Col Ward, as a candidate,
was certainly made without due reflec-
tion and advice. If that party is to be
beaten, they would desire the least ob-
jectionable man to do it, and that man is
Col. Ward.
Patriotism will compel that party to
oppose Col. W. But should he get the
nomination and be elected, the same pa-
triotism will rejoice that the matter is no
worse; for he is the only man up for Con-
gress in all the First District, that has a
single qualification for office, that is
pointed out by the creed of the American
party, as essential in a candidate. We
hope the Tyler convention will give the
nomination to Col. W. and thereby show
their appreciation of merits, that are su-
perior to any others, that will be before
them.

Messrs. Editors.
In your issue of March
the 7th inst., you have engraved upon
your pennon flying from the Eagles beak
the words "Southern Rights." This pen-
non at yonr masthead you have just hoist-
[•d and may its elevation not be in vain,
unfortunate as to have been educated am-
ong them know this to be true and North-
erners who are now part and parcel of us
affirms its truth.
Reason, Truth and the Bible have in
vain, again and again been tried upon
them to assuage their wild ravings, as
well might we throw the feather upon
the stormy sea to crush the raging bil-
low, as expect these to cause this "mon-
ster, which may yet be the serpent of La-
oeoon to tho South, to lower his haughty
crest. (
This bigotry is increasing daily in the
North and the youth of the country w4ll
vie with their fathers in abuse of the
South and its institutions, glorying in fee-
ing Sumnerized for the opportunity to
abuse us.
What shall we do? One course is to
endure, shall we do it.
But pursue what course we ultimately
may. It is to be hoped that none of the
political guards will sleep at their posts,
but keep the watchword ever on the
wing, to warn the South of approaching
danger to Southern principles and "South-
ern Rights."

SUPREME COURT, TEXAS,)
Gai.veston, 1857. (
Ware's Adm'r., )
vs. y Appeal from Gal-
Bexnett, el al. ) veston.
Ware, in his lifetime, loaned to Bennett
$3,000, upon usury; the rate of interest
agreed upon was *20 per cent, per annum:
for the first year's interest twelve notes
of $50 each, amounting to £000 were ta-
ken, which were all paid at maturity;
futher extensions of the loan were subse-
uently agreed upon at the same usuri-
rates of interest, the interest upon
h was paid, including the $000 paid
~'c first year's interest, was $1,450.
feintiffs having brought suit for the
jjfal sum with interest from the date
... j*last payment, Bennett pleaded the
usWis contract in defence, and claim-
ing the enforcement of the statute, set up
the payments made for interest, and in-
sisted upon his right to recover the same,
and apply the amount therefor to the dis-
charge of the principal sum actually
loaned.
The plaintiff by an amendment to his
petition sought to avoid this defence by
replying that the payments were voluu
tarily made; and that they had been so
made more than two years bclore the
answer was pleaded, ajid insisted upou
the statute of limitations. The plaintiff
had judgment below for $1550, and ap-
pealed to this court.
Curia, per Wheeler J. That payment
of usurious interest was voluntary, is no
answer to the applicatoin of the debtor
to have it set off, or appropriated ttftlie
reduction of the principal; nor is the
statute of limitations an answer to such
application, while any part of the princi-
pal remains unsatisfied (Crutcher v.
Trabue 5 Dana R. 80; Booker v. Gregory,
" B. Monr, 440, 442.) It is treated as a
payment upon that which the law recog-
nizes as a subsisting debt; and the stat-
ute of limitations does apply to payments.
Whatever contracts were made for the
payment of usury were void under the
statute, and the plaintiff can claim bene-
fit under them. (Digest, A 1009.)
The plea admits the loan, and sets
fourth various payments of usurious in-
terest, not amounting in all to the prin-
cipal sum loaned; and concludes with a
prayer for general relief. It is immate-
rial by what name the plea is called; or
in what form the relief is claimed. The
court will look to its substance; and that
is to have the payment deducted from the
defendant's indebtedness upon loan. The
amended petition does not contain any
matter in legal avoidance of the case
stated in the plea, and the Court rightly
ao adjudged upon tho exceptions. The
only question to be decided upou the
case stated in the plea was, how much of
the loan had been reimbursed, and how
much rewained unpaid Whateved so
remained, after deducting the payment,
the plaintiff was entitled to recover, and
no more.

Washington, March 4.—The President
elect was Inaugurated with the usual
ceremonies to-day. The weather was
propitious and nothing occurred to mar
the harmony of this great national epoch.
The inesange was brief and terse. Mr.
Buchanan speaks feelingly of the great
importance of the restoration of that
harmony among the people of the differ-
ent States of this republic, which can be
the only safeguard of our nationality and
the preservation of our free institutions.
He alludes to the ending of the late po-
litical contest, and approved the Kansas
and Nebraska act.
The President recommends that the
treasury should be devoted to objects of
a strictly national character, and that
such provisions should be made that no
more revenue be collected than an eco-
nomical and republican administration
may require; therefore he considers that
the present tariff laws may require a
modification.
The President spoke warmly upon the
evils of disunion, deprecating the course
of its advocates, and holding that uniou
is the cardinal principle of our power.
The public lands should be preserved
for actual settlers, both native and for-
eign.
The President acknowledges the rights
of the different States, and that they
should be respected.
He shows the importance of a road to
the Pacific, and says that many of the
difficulties now existing will disappear
when the best rout shall be ascertained.
He holds that we should preserve peace,
commerce and friendly relation with all
nations, and never interfere with their af-
fairs unless impelled so to do by the great
law of self-preservation.
In regard to the acquisition of new
territory, the President says that we nev-
er acquired territory but by fair purchase
or voluntary annexation, as in the case
of Texas; and that while we act on that
principle no nation should complain if, in
self-defence, we further extended our
possessions.
