Highly important Decision.

In the Circuit Court of Nelson
County, Virginia. last week, in the
case of Walker VS.. Loving, Judge
Shetfey decided the following impor-
tant and very interesting question:
/. That contracts made during the
existence of de facto Government
were valid and binding, L withstand
ing the subsequent overthrow of that
Government.
2. That the SAFE of q slave in Vir-
ginia, in the Confederate lines, prior
to the 10th of April, 1866, was valid
and binding, Notwithstanding the
emancipation clause in the Alexan-
dria Constitution.
The case was ably argued by Judge
Brockenbrough, of Lexington, for
the plaintiff, and Robert Whitehead,
ESQ.,, of Nelson, for the defe: .dant
Judge Brockenbrougl maintained
the affirmative, and Mr.. Whitehead
the negative of these propositions.
We understand the opinion of the
Judge, which is regarded as very
able one. will, by the unanimous re-
quest OF the bar, be published.

The Trade at the North.

The advance in the public securi-
ties of the United States is liable to
be misunderstood. Instead of indi-
eating an increased confidence in the
Government credit, it only marks, in
truth, the decline in business, and
the decay of the general prosperity.
The National htelhgencer, discussing
this subject, says quite forcibly:
Business is now declining in the
Northern States, and it is at q dead
pause in the South. The vast amount
OF lrredeemable paper which has ac-
cumulated in the commercial centres,
seeks employment. and can find none
IN any industrial pursuit. Therefore
it is invested in Government securi-
ties, which have advanced slightly in
price, on account of the demand.
The Government interest is more re-
munerative to capital than anv ordi-
nary business enterprise
This is the effect of the civil rights
bill. They, at the North, are getting
used to its acquisitions. We wish
them well.

Trial or Mr.. Davis.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Times writes:
l have already informed you that
the House has passed a bill author
izing the holding of United States
Circuit Courts at Richmond instead
Of Norfolk. The bill is now in the
hands of the printer, and will be
passed by the Senate tomorrow or
next day. Chief Justice Chase says
he will not preside in the court, how
ever, until the President shall give
some definite directions to the mill
tary, OF issue an order declaring mar
tial law abrogated in Virginia, in all
matters in which civil courts have
Jurisdiction. Such an order will pro-
badly be issued by the President in q
few days, though both Mr.. johnson
and Chief Justice Chase construe the
peace proclamation as in effect,
plainly declaring these facts. Mr..
Chase does not deem it proper for a
Judge oi the Supreme Court of the
United States to preside in district
where he is likely to be menaced by
bayonets, as was the case in New Or
leans recently, when Judge Duvreu,
of the United States Circuit Court,
was interfered with in Il certain
cotton case, by General Candy.
An appeal to the President in such
cases always results in an order de-
claring the civil law supreme, but
nevertheless military commanders
seem, most obtusely, it would appear,
to misconstrue the peace proclama-
ton, and therefore, probably, the
order that I have mentioned will soon
be issued
1t is supposed by many that so
soon as the Chief Justice shall take
his seat in Richmond, that Jefferson
Davis will be put upon trial for trea-
son. Such is not the fact, though
hereafter it may be determined co
have the trial take place in your city.
AS yet, however, the Government
has not absolutely determined what
shall be done in the matter, and will
not, probably, until the House Judi
ciary Committee, which is expected
to report on the subject of the trial
OF Davis, shall make statement. In
the meantime, however, the Grand
Jury in the United States Circuit
Court, Judge Underwood presiding,
will no doubt report an Indictment
against the late President of the
Southern Confederacy.

State Items.

The Yorkville Enquirer says: The
new system of freed labor, so far as
we can learn, is not operating salts
factorily; but better than many ex-
pected. In many instances contracts
are not observed by the freedmen,
and new ones are made with other
parties, after they have become tired
Of the old. If farmers would steadily
refuse to hire such laborers as have
quilted their first employees, much
of the evil would be remedied.
Continuous rains have operated to
the serious disadvantage of the early
crops in this District. The cool
weather has been unfavorable to the
cotton crop. A much smaller guam
tity of land than usual has been
planted, and the seed being damaged
by time, have produced bad stands.
Farmers do not appear hopeful of the
results.
In recent trip through the West
ern part of this District and por-
ton of Union, we noticed the same
difficulties existing. The wheat crops
in the latter District are highly
promising.
The Abbeville Press complains that
crime seems to be largely on the in
crease among the freedmen. and
scarcely a day passes but we hear of
some depredations committed by
them on the property of our citi-
zens. Several of them have had
their smoke-houses entered, and
large quantities of meat and meal
extracted
The Chester Standard says: The
huge collection of rolling stock, the
property of various railroads, con-
centrated here during Sherman s
march through the State, is being
gradually removed. Many of the
cars have been occupied during the
past year by idle and thriftless freed
men.

The Tribune and Secession.


We published yesterday the com
ments of the Richmond Dispatch on
IN article in the New York Tribune.
relative to the right of secession. The
New York World pitches into the
Tribune, and says that the people of
South Carolina in 1776 seeded from
Great Britain. The people of South
Carolina seeded in 1860 from the
United States. The Declaration of
Independence, if it announced any
new political principle, announced
the right of people to alter and
change its government So Mr..
Greeley understands; so he still main
tains. In what does he differ, in his
premises, from the Davis he de-
nonnces? In nothing. But Davis
says, GA principle of right, being es-
tablished, is applicable as we'll in
1860 as in 1776" ssNot at ALL" says
Greeley. "Why not?" says Davis.
"Ifanyhuman being has ever found
out, from anything Greeley has writ
ten, why not, he has been more for
tunate than the World. We can give
the proper answer for him in few
words: 1t was perfectly right to Sc
cede from the arbitrary obstinacy of
George III; it was very wrong to Sc
cede from the arbitrary obstinacy of
Horace I.
eff we understand the result of the
war, it is this: Strength has settled
right. The arguments for and against
secession are utterly unimportant, ex-
cept to the student of history and the
philosophic statesman; but if seces-
sion needed good advocate, it can
find none better than Greeley arguing
against it.
ut is nota very easy thing to argue
with any one unless the dictionary is
admitted by both. A murderer is
executed in this city by the authority
of the people of the State of New
York, and there is no other authority
that can hang him. What is the
people of the State of New York?
DO two hundred thousand unnatu-
rallied foreigners and twenty thou
sand unqualified negroes form any
portion of it? Have they anything
to say, or any right to say anything?
No more than so many pigs or blue
bottle flies. Suppose the people of
the State of New York, through their
regular machinery of State, call a
convention and dsecede-throw off one
system and make another?"
We think the Tribune, in an article
quoted yesterday, was right. The
clear deductions of that paper cannot
be doubted

The PROGRESS OF UsURPAr1oN.-
The Nashville Union and american
of the 9th instant, under the above
heading says:
1t becomes onr duty this morning
to chronicle the passage, by the
Senate yesterday, of bill to take the,
city governments of Nashville, Mem
phis and Chattanooga respectively,
out of the hands of their people, AMI
vest them in the hands of commits
sloners, appointed by the Governor.
Why it is done, We have not the re.
motest notion. There is not q city
in the world of like size that is better
governed, or in which offences and
offenders are more promptly noticed
and arrested, than in Nashville. The
only assignable reason for this tyran
nous action towards this city is
wanton disregard OF popular rights,
and disposition to exercise a petty
despotism over an inoffensive people
under color of statutory enactments.
We are ignorant of the merest shadow
OF pretext for this extraordinary in
reference with the municipal autho-
rites OF peaceful and well-ordarea
city, and can ascribe it alone to pas
sionate partisan maglignity.
1t will pass the House, as a matter
of course. and then we shall see what
we shall see.
