A DARKEY stood on the banquet bare.
brooding over his woes sad was his heart
and kinky his hair; his gizzard feet were ex-
posed TO the air, and exceedingly seedy his
clo'es. "Ohl why did de cuss wild de blue
coat come to set dis darkey free? l was hap
py wild CuiIee and Jumbo jun; wild plenty
TO eat and plenty ob rum, and Dinah was
happy wild me. Ole massa was good, for
when l was sick in my snug old cabin home,
de doctor was sent for 20 cure my pain, was
sheltered from sun and storm and rain. Oh!
why did de buro Gomez Now dis Niger
stands in de crowded streets, wild his clo'es
all tattered and torn; and no one gives me
work 10 do, nor whites to eat; and de man
10 blue doesn't pity dis darksy forlorn. II
massa would only take me home on de old
plantation once more, I'd pick de cotton
add tend dc cane and never tink Of freedom
again as ] used 20 did before"
The darkey ceased; the tears from his
eyes stood on his black cheek bone. The
suns hot rays fell on his head, and a hearty
wish that he might go dead was the last
we heard him groan.

CONFEDERATE CURRENCY-DECIs
ION OF THE SUPREME COURT
sTII.MAN vs.. LOONY.

This bill was fled on the Chancery side
Of the Common Law and Chancery Court, at
Memphis, 70 foreclOse a mortgage executed
by the defendant on three lots in the city OF
Memphis, which had been duly registered,
20 secure the payment Of two notes, of S25
90 each, dated Esd July, 1862, due in twelve
and twenty-four months from date, payable
at the Union Bank, endorsed Stilman and
Breach. The answer Of the defendant and
the proof shows the consideration for which
the notes were executed were Confederate
Treasury notes. The Chancellor dismissed
the bill, from which the complainant has
appealed.
Il is a we'll settled principle in executing
contracts Of this consideration, that il is lille
gal, and against public policy, the court
would not sanction il, aud TO enforce il no
rule Of law is more clearly defined and set
tied than this in the American and English
Jurisprudence Head 297, and 1896
Benz. Sem. ia; 10 10 Benz, 10. This
court, held in the case Of Overall vs..
WRGHT, decided at Nashville, December
term, 1865, in manuscript, that an agree
ment 10 credit that as payment in Confeder-
ate Treasury notes, for which the party had
given his receipt and on the trial sought to
have credits on the note, was no payment.
That Confederate Treasury notes were Issued
for an unlawful purpose, and in violation Of
the laws Of the State and Constitution Of the
United States, and that all contracts for and
upon them were illegal, and could not be
enforced through the courts. In the case Of
CRAIG vs., the State Of Missouri, the Supreme
Court Of the United States held a promisso-
~ note given for certificates issued as the
Home Office, insurance payable 70 the State
OF Missouri, under the act of the Legislature
establishing Home Offices, was voia-4 Pc
tiers, 40, the act being one uncoupled with
the Constitution Of the United States.
In the case under consideration, the notes
were issued by an unlawful confederation Of
States, whose decreed purpose was TO over
throw the Constitution, and the enforcement
Of all such contracts is against public pol
icy. The party seeking the aid Of the court
will be repealed. The defendant, not out of
any favos 70 him, but because he is such,
can allege and show the illegality Of the
contract-that being made apparent, the le
gal consequences follow. There is no error
IN the decree Of the Chancellor, and the
same Is affirmed.
