The following decision possesses interest to
many Of our readers. Wo clip it from the
Greenyille Mo,lntaiacer's account of the pro-
ceedings of the United States District Court.

Bobo. This was an action on note given for
thes purchase money Of a negro slave sold by
Mrs. Woford to the. Defendant in 1858. and
Warranted by her at that time to be sound and
slave for lifo Note for $1,000, interest an
nualiy, due in 1860, was assigned to Plaintiff.
Tho defense relied upon was failure of
consideration in that the negro, warranted to
De q slave for life, is still alive, but had been
made free. And also upon payment-thc debt
being sequestered by the Government ofthc Con
sederate States asthe property of an alien enemy,
was paid under compulsion of that Govern
anent, while at war with the United States.
Hon. B. +. Perry appeared for the Plaintiff
The ,, defense was conducted by Mcssrs. j. p.
Reed and Bobo. The case was referred to a
jury and ably and fully argued by the counsel
on both sides
In his charge, the Judge said, substantially !:
The amount is small the principle, of over

escaped from the consideration of this case
The settlement Of tic question, however it be
settled, will carry poverty home to some one.

The question is who shall boar thc loss Pow
crty and hardship must como. In my opinion
tne hardship must bc born by those who had
the misfortune to be owners. It docs not come

Can Militia Officers Register?

-
We unhcsitatfngly answer, Yes sRfe only
shadow of IN argument against their enjoy
mcnt of the privilege, is found in their conncc-
.tion with the Patrol System, which prevailed
i'll the rural Districts in the o!dcn time; and
this argument falls through upon moment S
reflection. The last Act of Congress on the
subject uses the words, administration or Il
general law Of the State" But the Patrol
Law was not general law of tho State 1t
was local and particular in its effects and opc-
ration, as far as militia officers were concerned
1t was only in sections outside Of towns vii
lagos and cities, that militia officers had any
thing whatever to do with tho Patrols All
municipal corporations controlled their own
l1licc system, i'll their own way. So that Just
in the same manner as any law, which applied
only to the cities and tCwns in the State, would
be called ;'particuar" aud ''local;' so likewise
any law that pcrtaincd only to agricultural
"cct1ohS Hlcst pe Callcu 'local also, ana not
general" Why, there is one entire District
of tho Statc,-thc District Of Charleston
where the Patrol Law had no force at all in
this particular
We will not at this time enter into discus
sion Of the distinction between civil and mill
tary officers. We would only refer to another
reason why militia officer should not be de-
privcd Of the privilege of registration There
were, In our State, officers OF Volunteer Com
panics, and officers Of Beat Companies. Now.
is it to be supposed chat Il Volunteer Captain
IN the County shall be privileged, and the Cap
tam OF Beat Company, under Il commission,
word for word, like tho other, shall be disIran
chiscd? Again, shall thc Captain of Beat Com
pany No l, i'll the 10th Regiment, (in the
cty) be entitled to register, and The Captain of
Boat Company No, ] /, in the 1ltl Regiment be
excluded from the lists. Such IL rule would
not work fairly at all, and shows still more
iorcibly that the patrol law was not general
law.
Again, let US, for the sake Of argument, say
that the patrol law was such general law, as
produces dislranchsoment then not onlv
militia 00icers but nitiamcnurc dislranchiscd
For the last reconstruction act says that those
who exercised certain Offices arc disiranchiscd
whether llicy have taken the oath, or not. 1t
follows therefore, that if a militia Captain or
Lieutenant is disfranchiscd by his connection
with the Patrol, then every one who has been
Captain of Patrol Squad would be also; for
he was police officer Ins the time bcin. and

element of foreigners. He will probably
be pleased with this portion of the as
sembly. He has taken wonderful
liking to this class of our citizens lately.
His recent discOurses TO them have par
taken largely of the tender and the
sweet. We suppose that when he ad-
dresses the foreigners he will meet at
Bellaire, lie will adhere To his recently
adopted style-a style known as the
"honeyfuggle." II would be unkind in
his hearers To remember that he ever
spoke of them in any bur the most af-
iectionate manner. His late speech at

4 YIRGINIAN IN LUCK.-We are graf
i6ed to learn that our genial friend,
Colonel A. G. Newton, whilom the pop
ular host of the Atlantic Hotel, is one
of the prospective heirs to au immense
fortune in the city of Hull, England.
A correspondent in that city writes as
follows to the New York Erening Post
in regard to the claim of the Newton
family: "Among the many American
claimants to property in England. none
seem to be more decidedly on the road
to success and good fortune than the
heirs of William Newton, of this city,
who emigrated to America, and settled
in Stafford county, Virginia.
Colonel A, q. Newton is the great
grandson of the aforesaid William New
ton, which can be incontestibly proved,
and there now appears to be strong
probability that his claim will be speed
ily adiudicated, without involving a
complication of contingencies, as in the
Ingram and Jennings estates. He is
also the grandson of Johh Newton, of
Stafford county, who devoted himself to
the rearing of bis family and fortune,
and deemiHg his title to the English es-
tates unquesriouable, paid but tritiing
attention to them.
We sincerely trust that Colonel New
ton may succeed in recovering these val
liable estates, and we feel satisfied that
the community will cordially echo our
wish.-Norfolk TirgiRiaR.
