THE CONFEDERATE CURRENCY
QUESTION.

The case recently decided by our Supreme
Court at jackson was entitled, Humes, Ad-
miaistraior Of Stoner, as. Ward, ct ais. The
Memphis dppoai furnishes the following
facts as the groundwork of the proceeding
.'Stoner borrowed from Ward. in the early part
of 1862, about $1,000 of Confederate currency
aud gave his note fer the amount TO ward ana,
to secure the note gave deed of trust on the lot
On which Is the Senate House on Jefferson 81
The debt fell due. and was not paid and therefore
the Trustee advertised and was about 10 sell the
house and lot. Stoner being dead, ms admins
traitor filed bill in Chsncery 70 enjoin the sale,
alleging that the note and deed IN trust were VOID
for the reason that the consideration of the same
was Confederate currency. The court held thar
;he note and trust deed were void and ordered
the same to be cancelled. and the Trustee 20
be perpctually enjoncd from attempting 10 sell
the house and lot
Ii would seem from this that the decision
was rendered upon the naked issue, whether
any transaction based upon Confederate
money could be enforced in our courts. In
a previous case the same court drew dis
tnction between executed and eNecutory
contracts stating that in the former, on the
grounds Of public policy, they withheld an
expression IL il neither our inclination or
province 10 instruct the Judiciary, nor 10
prompt their decisions; but we respectfully
suggest that these questions have really very
little relation 10 the permanent current ju-
risprudence, either past or future. They
grew up necessarily during 3 period of vi
olence and strife, wholly uncontemplated by
the Constitution and laws of the land-and
truly unprovided against in either The
court is at liberty to construe them literally,
and to adopt the true demands of public
policy 50 far as the general principles Of jus
tice between man and man will allow.

Corrsspondence Of the Union ana Amerlcan.l
STATE ITEMS.

A correspondent, writing from Smith
county, says;
ave are getting along quietly and peace
fully up here in old Smith The freedmen
are, generally, doing As well as could be ex-
pected' under the circumstances. The crops
are quite backward, and generally look bad
". Wheat will be almost an entire failure.
Fruit prospect bad"
The Chattanooga Union says:
a grand excursion hop will be given at
the Lookout Mountain House, June 9Th, and
parties are preparing at all points of the
compass. The beautiful halls of the hotel
and the picturesque old rocks of the noun
tain will ring with the laughter of the bellies
and the rougher sports of the beauX, instead
of the boom of the columbiads rattle of
musketry, and shrieks Of the dying and
wounded soldiers, so often heard Whereabouts
during the last four years of war"
The Hebrew residents of Chattanooga
have organized benevolent association for
the relief of such of their people as may
need it.
The Dyersburg Gdzette thus speaks of the
prospect in that county:
"If our citizens don't wake up and go TO
work time will be full grown and eternity
superanuated before our town takes another
step in the march Of improvement. With
the fairest land and most productive soil that
ever the sun shone on, Dyer county is going
to seed, simply because our people have not
the energy and enterprise to bring the ad-
vantages of our county before the public
eye"
The same paper says the Mayor of Dyers-
burg is giving proper attention to the streets,
and "brush heaps have been removed and
guliies are fast disappearing"

OUR Southern exchanges are generally
indignant that Capt. SEMNEs is forbidden
bv Federal authority 10 exercise the office OF
Probate Judge in Mobile, to which post he
was elected during or soon after his late i'm
prisonment Why should Capt. SEMMEs
enter upon the Office of Probate Judge =?
Did he ask the position? Is its emoluments
necessary to provide him sustenance? Is
there no other in Mobile who could, by his
knowledge and attainments, discharge the
functions of that post? These superser-
viceable friends eff Capt. SEMMEs are doing
him an injury, and he does not thank them
in his head, whatever may be the feelings of
his heart-which could be nothing but CRATE
full, even for misplaced kindness. How
many of these eIclaimants against the OBJ
structions thrown in his way TO the Probate
bench bv the Executive authority, appealed
to the Judgment of mankind to procure his
release from unjust imprisonment? Few,
indeed that we wot of and we claim TO be
reasonably attentive readers of Southern
papers.
In an era like this the wayward and fool
ish, but well-meant, neutrality-suspicious.
Of a Southerner strikes us with the same i'm
preston that those Of the mean and cold
blooded cant Of the frigid abolitionist do.
Neither contributes to peace, justice and
fraternity, and both unite in delaying the
work Of restoration.

THE CABINET SERENADE.

The Geographic report of President JOIN
SONS speech, in response to the serenade by
the National Union Club on Wednesday
night was substantially full. Secretary
WELLEs, Of the Navy, was unreserved in his
Endorsement of the Presidents policy. The
Assistant Secretary Of State, on behalf of
his father expressed regret that the Secre-
tary was not present 10 share in the pleas
ures of this demonstration of patriotic feel,
ing and fidelity to the Union, and Of adher-
ence TO the earnest efforts Of the President
for its restoration"
The speech of MIR. STANTON was more at
length, and was the most interesting feature
of the evening. Having deliberately and
formally declined to give any public express
sion To his views ON several occasions here
tOfore, and his true position beieg a matter
Of speculation and of contradictory assertion,
his first public expression will attract uni
versal attention. the Louisville papers of
yesterday contain more extended but very
imperfect report of the speech under consid-
Grafton. We refrain from printing it I'M
I'll we can obtain correct copy by
mail-convinced that the reader would
prefer to wait day, to have the
complete and authentic views of the Secre-
tary of War. We may remark, however,
Judging from the telgraphic outline, the ex
pressions of Mr.. STANTON do not come up
to the issues, and are of a character to be
alike unsatisfactory both TO the friends and
adversaries of the Presidents policy Of res
toration. They serve both equally well, and
are therefore worthless. Such a course may
suit Mr.. STANTON, but he will soon find that
in such contest as is now progressing, his
efforts to carry water on both shoulders will
prove unavailing. We withholdfurthercom-
ment until We receive the full report of the
