CONFEDERATE CURRENCY IN CoURT.-
Judge Thomas has delivered an important
decision in the case Of Lersner VS.. Boiling,
in Fauquier county, the property in con-
troversy being estimated at 100000 in
value. The facts are as follows:
ain January, 1868, Mr.. Robert Boiling
contracted with Mr.. G. Lersner for the
sale Of the magnificent estate, Boiling.
brooke, on which he resides, situated in
Upper Fauquier the consideration was to
be confederate treasury notes. Lersner
did not punctually fulfill his engagement
to pay the money in cash; the war termi.
mated while Lersner was still in default.
Boiling then claimed that the default oi
Lersner had relieved him from all legal
obligations to perform the contract. Lers.
ner fled his bill against Boiling in the Cir
cult Court Of Fauquer, praying q decree
for specific execution Of the contract
The points Of the defence were-the de-
fault Of the plaintiff, Lersner, in failing Ia
pay all the purchase money, associated
with the gross inadequacy Of the price
making it inequitable to decree specific
performance Of so hard and unconscious
Bile bargain. Judge Thomas sustained
the position Of the defendant, Boiling, ant
rendered o decree refusing execution o.
the contract, and ordering it to be an
nulled."
Colonel Mosby and General Payne
were counsel for the defence, and Hon. j
r. Tucker for plaintiff.

AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.

This country seems still to be In an un,
settled and perturbed state, and according
to all accounts the tenure Of power by
which JUAREz holds his position is rather
slight Mexico is unfortunate in having
too many men who are ambitious to rule
her; and what is particularly reprehensible
is that these men are, as q general thing,
not very scrupulous as to the agencies
which they employ to gain their end and
foist themselves into power. Each one Of
these aspirants has his clique or faction,
and hence the entire population is divided
into antagonistic parties, which bitterly
hate one another and what has existed in
the past seems probable will be again, and
we shall not be surprised any day to learn
that our neighboring republic is plunged
into sea Of anarchy. JUAREz is the only
man of much wisdom or discretion, and II
he can remain at the helm all may yet be
well. He has issued proclamation call.
ing general election for Congress, and
there are also to be several propositions
altering the constitution upon which the
people will be called upon to vote at the
same time.
JUAREz believes in the Constitution Of
the United States, and is a student of our
institutions and a warm admrer of our
Government, and would, as near as may
be, fashion the institutions of Mexico after
the same model. If the people Of that re.
public act wisely, they will accept the
amendments which JUAREz proposes, and
they will also keep him at the head OF af-
fairs for some time to come. Here ap.
pears to be their safety.

ANCIENT Rich MEs.-The popular idea
that CrGsus was the richest man in the
world is altogether mistake. His prop.
erty was only valued at two and half
millions Of pounds sterling. The philoso.
pher Seneca had an equal fortune, while
Tiberius left more than twenty.three mil
lions at his death-which Caligula squan-
dered within one year. Antony squan-
dered about hundred millions in his life.
Appius committed suicide because he con-
sidered himself poverty.stricken, possessing
only eighty thousand pounds-less than

BUILDING AND THE PRICE OF
REAL ESTATE IN THIS CITY.

We took ride about Washington and
also in some of the outskirts Of the city
yesterday, and were pleased to see so
many tangible evidences Of growth and
prosperity. A great many new buildings
are going up, and many Of these are Of q
costly and substantial character. 1t was
conjectured when these new houses were
undertaken that on their completion rents
would most assuredly come down. But
this predicted fall in rents is not yet real
lied, and we are pretty well satisfied that
rents will hold at present rates for some
time to come. We can see no indications
of an immediate decline in either rents or
in the prices Of real estate. We often
hear people say, "You wait year or two,
and you will see q tumble in real estate
that will show the present apparent growth
Of Washington to be Of mushroom char
acter. 1t cannot last. There are no man
ufactories here which are worthy Of the
name, or any mechanics or machine shops
which give employment to men, such as
are found in other cities; and the COM
merce Of Washington is but slight"
There is, therefore, it is said, nothing to
build up the town, and rents and real es-
tate especially must tumble. We do not
accept this view Of the subject; but, on
the other hand, we believe that real estate
will not only hold its own, but it will
gradually increase in value.
While real estate in some localities Of
the city is held at too high q figure, and
must remain unproductive or approximate
its real value, it may, nevertheless, be
safely assumed that there will be steady
and healthy growth Of Washington which
will prevent any sudden or precipitate fall
in this kind Of property. We would say,
therefore, to the people who talk Of in.
vesting in property Of the nature we have
under consideration, not to postpone their
purchases under any such belief as this,
that real estate is bound to topple to a
mere nominal price. Those who enter
tain such views as these are bound to be
disappointed. Let them, therefore, dis.
llllSo buCh hObiOhb lultt anu TtIutIu
Der that healthy and steady growth, such
as ours, is certainly the best in the long
run.
IfWashington has now no manufactures,
she may have them if her commerce is
now inconsiderable, so much the more
may it be increased for she has for com.
mercial town all the natural facilities. II
her present attitude has been attained
under the disadvantages resulting from a
lack Of enterprise in the direction Of com,
merce and manufactures, what may we
not look for when these sources Of produc,
tive wealth are added, as they will be, To
our means of accumulation and expan
sion. II, then, real estate has attained its
present price under the slow develop
ment Of the past, is it natural to conclude
that it will tend downward when we have
the added impetus with all the increased
activities Of a rapidly growing business and
largely increased population.
