AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER Contracts
AND WILLS MADE BETWEEN JANuDRY /
1862, AND APRIL 10, 1865 Passed
MARCH 3, 1866.
Whereas deprecated currency, known as
Confederate States treasury notes, constltu-
ted the only or principal currency in the
greater part of this State during the late war;
and whereas the result of said war involved
the total destruction of said currency and
whereas there are many contracts which were
made, or obligations which were incurred,
before the termination Of said war, predicated
on said deprecated currency, still remaining
wholly or partially unadjusted, in respect to
which great uncertainty exists, perplexlng
alike to debtor and creditor, as to the present
measure of their liabilities and rights respec-
lively and it thus appearing useful that some
uniform aud equitable rule should be estab-
lished for the adjustment Of such mutual de-
mands and liabilities; therefore
/. Be 1t enacted By the General assembly,
That in any action or suit, or other proceed
ing for the enforcement of any contract, ex-
press Or implied, made and entered into be-
tween the 1st day of January, 1862, and
the 10th day of April, 1865, it shall be law
full for either party to show, BY parole or
other relevant evidence, what was the true
understanding and agreement Of the parties,
either expressed or to be implied, in respect
to the kind of currency in which the same
was to be fulfilled Or performed, or with ref
erence to which, as standard of value it
was made and entered into and in an action
at law it shall not be necessary to plead the
agreement specially in order to admit such
evidence.
2. Whenever it shall appear that any such
contract was, according to the true under
standing and agreement of the parties. to DO
fulfilled or performed in Confederate States
treasury notes, CT was entered into with ref
erence to such notes as a standard Of value,
the same shall be liquidated and settled by

On Saturday last Mr. Speaker Baldwin,
of Augusta, being informed Of the vote of
thanks accorded tc him by the House Of Dele
gates for the ability and impartiality with
which he had presided over its deliberations
made the following spirited and patriotic ad-
dress to bis brother members -R.chnoad
Dispatch.
My friends, [ have honestly tried to be all
that your kindness has attributed TO me, but
if | have, in any degree, given satisfaction in
the discharge OF the duties of my Office, it has
been due chiefly to the kindness, courtesy,
and forbearance with which you have sus-
tanned me, and to the faithful and efficient
help given by the officers OF the House, from
the clerk and rgeant-at-arms to the smallest
of our pages.
have, at different times, been member Of
several deliberatve assemblies, and I feel it
to be due TO this House to say that I have
never been connected with any body of gen
tlemen among whom there was SO much of
earnest industry in the public service, and SO
much Of kindness and good will 10 the per-
sonal intercourse Of the members
The results of our labors await the just
judgment Of the people of Virginia; and |
venture to anticipate that, taking into con-
sideration all the circumstances by which we
have been surrounded, it will be found that
we have deserved the approval Of our con-
s:ituents.
1t will be remembered that we came to-
gcther at o time when our State and our peo-
pie were suffering under an accumulation Of
misfortunes such as have never before been
known in tile history Of the Commonwealth.
For many of these evils there could, of course,
be no legislative remedy; but it will, | think,
be found that our lahors have been addressed
earnestly, and with some efficiency to relieve
the distresses Of the people, and to accommo-
date the institutions and laws Of the State to
the altered circumstances in Which we find
ourselves
Fortunately for US, the hopes of our peo-
pie DO not rest wholly upon the benefits to
accrue from our labors. They have other
and higher grounds Of faith and confidence.
A comparison of our condition now with
that in which we were placed less than a year
ago must eatisfy us that if the progress O
restoration in Virginia has not been as rapid
as NC could have desired. it has been marked
steady, and practical; and that although v.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 0 1865.

On Wednesday, the 21st ult., the Valley
Railroad bill was passed by the Senate, (hay-
ing previously passed the House, with the
following proHiso:
"That it shall nos be lawful to complete
the said Valley Railroad to point nearer
than twenty miles Of tire Virginia and Ten
nessee railroad, earlier than one year after
the Covington and Ohio railroad shall he
completed"
If this proviso was intended to damag the
bill by preventing the stock being taken, or
retard the completion of the Valley railroad,
even to within twenty miles Of the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad, it will miss its mark.
We of the Valley know that Richmond's in
tcrest in the speedy completion of the Gov
ington and Ohio railroad will not let that
road stand long in its uncomplcted condition,
and that, by the time the Valley railroad
shall be completed to the point designated in
the proviso, the Covington and Ohio road
will have been completed more than one year,
and the Valley railroad will be pushed on tc
its junction with the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad. Other Legislatures will meet III
the mean time, and the repeating of that pro-
viso is fixed fact, if an undue dilatoriness
be exhibited in the completion Of the Coving.
ton and Ohio railroad We do not believe
the proviso will delay the construction of the
Valley railroad day. and this fact will be
exhibited to those who proclaim that the pro-
viso takes the sting out Of the Valley rail-
road bill. Its completion to within twenty
miles of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad,
will open up section unsurpassed in pro-
duction and resources in the Union, and will
benefit our whole State, Richmond not cx.
cepted, whether she will or she won't. Let
every energy be exerted to put in construc-
ton this road, SO important to the interests
Of Virginia and particularly Of this Valley.

The Reconstruction Committee have re-
ported joint resolution to Congress, which
sets forth that Tennessee has adopted and
ratified a Constitution of Government re-
publican in form, and not inconsistent with
the Constitution and laws of the United States
and organized loyal State Government, and
is in condition to exercise the functions of q
State in the Union, and can only exercise the
same BY the consent Of the lac making pow-
cr Of the United States and therefore de-
clares Tennessee to be one of the United States,
Of America, on condition that her people will
maintain and enforce, in good faith, her
con-titntion and laws, excluding all who en-
gagged in rebellion against the United States
from exercising the elective franchise for the
time provided therein, and from eligibility to
Office for like period, and that Tennessee
shall never pay any debt or obligation incur
red in aid Of the rebellion, or claim any al
lowance or compensation for slaves emanci-
pated or liberated in any way whatever, and
this act to take effect, when ratified by the
Legislature, or people Of Tennessee if the
Legislature SO directs Messrs. Washburne
and Boutwell,, Republicans and Rogers,
