The following opinion, delivered a day or two
since in the Supreme Court, will be read with in
leIeSt:
Pencils Appendicitis ].
The general rule is, that if land be sold for a spe-
citic purpose, the surplus money shall, as between
the heirs and next OF kin, be considered as land,
so lar as TO vest i'll the persons who would have
been entitled ut, had it remained uncontroyerted.
But, alter 1t has so vested i'll the person entitled,
1t IS t" be treated as money in his hands; AMI, in
case OF his subsequent death, goes to his personal
representatives, as personal estate. 1t cannot re-
tain its original character forever. 1t hos no ear
mark by which it can be distinguished from the
other personal estate with which il is mingled, to
identity and follow it throughout an indefinite
number OF SUGGESTIONS would, in most cases, be
absolutely impossible, and III all cases so incon-
Henlent as forbid the undertaking unless required
by the high necessities Of justice. But the distri-
button OF the estate Of a decedent among persons
who never gave value for il, and who have no title
10 1t whatevtr, except that which is founded upon
the law and ITS policy, involves no principle OF
justice, and stands entirely uninluenced by its
dictates. The necessity of a perfect conversion,
at some period, being apparent, and neither justice
nor policy requiring that a fiction should be sub
Slltuted for the fact; the proper time ioI it is when
the money has vested in the party entitled to il,
after the actual conversion. This is in accordance
with the decisions in Order VS.. Maclay IL; S. &
X. 224; Blsgert VS.. Biggert, 7 Watts, 563; and Dyer
VS.. Cornell, A Barr, 359. Hart & Lloyd, 2 Barr,
Alb, has been supposed to stand in conflict with
these authorities; but Mr.. Justice Coulter, in Dyer
VS.. Cornell, has satisfactorily shown that Hart &
Lloyd was decided upon ''the peculiar provisions
Ut the statute relating 10 the estates of Lunatics,
and upon ''the idiosyncracy of the state and condi-
ton of the unfortunate objects of that statute" 4
Barr. s59. Tie rule stated by Chief Justice
Illghman in Order VS.. Maclay is, that "surp'us
money arising from the sales ofland by order OF the
Orphans Court, whether it belong to an infant or
fem e conert or a male of full age, is to be consid-
cred simply as money, and nothing else" This
rule has the support OF common sense, and is well
sustained by authority. Every departure from it
will lead to inconvenience without advancing
either general or individual justice. The decision
OF the Court below is in conformity with these
views, and must be affirmed.
Decree affirmed.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF MExIco.-Presi-
dent Arista sent his message to the Mexican Congress
on the 4St instant. In view of the many outbreaks
and revolutions of his unfortunate country, his mes
sage has Il tone of despair, but he camly counSels
Congress upon the means and measures of re-
storing something of political and social order, and
individual security. He says that social evils in
Mexico are organic, and that from the variety of its
races The Cnly natural condition of the country ap-
pears TO be a state of perpetual anarchy. Still, lie
pleads that by persevering and united efforts on the
part otthe Executive and Congress, the country
may be saved.
The President makes it appear, too, that the
strength and condition of the government troops
have been, and still may be, sufficient to prcstrate
the designs of the insurgents. But, alas, the trea-
sury is empty, the fifteen millions of money re-
ceived from the United States for the cession of
Mexico, Utah and California, are exhausted, as are
also internal and external taxation and loans. The
toreiga relations of the country present q fattering
prospect, and there is a Likelihood of an amicable
settlement Of the Tehuantepec difficulties.

IN = TIGHr PLAcE!-The Richmon Republican
say: William K. Willis, a young man of some no.

charge OF assaulting and beating his sister, Lucin-
da S. Lipscomb, on the 14th inst. The warrant
for the prisoners arrest having been placed in the
hands of Mr.. Tyler, that officer, in company with
Mr. Wheat, west to his residence on Tuesday
night last, when Willis, TO make his escape, secre-
ted himself i'll the chimney. Satisfied that Bill
was about the premises, and being bent on his cap
ture, they remained i'll the room some time, when
the retreat became SO uncomfortable, that, like a
bear up a hollow tree, with a good smoke under
him, he commenced backing down and discovered
himself. Unfortunately, however, he descended
the wrong vent, and becoming jammed in a recess,
from which he could get neither up nor down, the
poor fellow yelled most ~dolefully for help. Like
good huntsmen the officers procured all axe, and
cutting out their game, soon had the satisfaction
of lodging him in the cage.

WOMAN BuRNT.-Of all the unpleasant pictures
of the miSfortunes and SufferlngS of the erring aud
Incorporate, we were witness yesterday OF the most
shocking. A woman named Elizabeth Johnson,
some fifty years of age, whose husband died in the
hospital, who has an interesting son in the Orphan
Asylum, and who has become the most abandoned
o. women, was found yesterday morning on a coal
boat at the foot ofPike street her outer clothing
burnt off, her back scorched to a crisp, and her
left arm, at the shoulder, b-rnt open in a horrible
manner, from the effects of the FIRE. Her hair and
head were horribly burnt. On Saturday night she
was drunk, and some boys had taken her TO the
Cabin of a coal boat. Yesterday morning, at seven
she was almost frozen from the cold, and while the
proprietor OF the boat was gone to breakfast, some
one kindled . fire on the hearth of the boat, and
lett her alone. When Mr.. Gillespie returned to
the boat, at S O'Clock, the woman was found to be
thus horribly burnt. She was taken care of kindly
BY the Waterman of the Third Ward, aud taken
TO the Commercial Hospital. She is in great pain,
and probably not survive. What a sad picture of
the effects of intemperance!-Cin. Gaz.

ty addressed. IL is the Government not every
individual citizen, that is forbidden to surren-
der the fugitive, or to Cypress him, and Is re-
CURED TO permit him to live unmolested where
he pleases This construction is strengthened
by the expression escaped "unto thee" Fugl-
tive servants do not ordinarily escape to an IN
dividual, but to another land OF people. On the
whole, the most natural Interpretation OF this
law, and the one most consistent with the volun-
tary character of Jewish servitude, is that 1t is
statute relating to servants in foreign lands, who
escape from their masters into Judea. There
il not a particle of evidence that in the time
of Moses there was single chattel slave in all
Syria; and admitting that the escaped servant
was servant by contract still it was case
over which the Jewish magistrates had no Ju-
risdctOn They we're not bound to enforce
contracts made between citizens of foreign coun-
tries, any more than we are to surrender an
English apprentice who escapes to us. The
fugitive servant who settled in Judea OF course,
renowned idolatry, and embraced the worship
of the true God Hence the cheerful hospital
ity with which he was to be received, and the
prohibition to Cypress him.
