The LONDON TIMES ON THE PROPOSED CHANGE
OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
LONDON, October 2O-The Times, in an edi-
torial on the rumored withdrawal OF the Demo-
cratic candidates, says the Democrats Will
doubtless think It best to fight the battle TO
the end and lose, ifit must be, with Governor
Seymour at their head, rather than at SO late
IN hour take Mr.. Chase Tor their leader. Al
though the power will he thrown into the
hands of the Radicals, General Grant is likely
to act with more discrimination than the
zealots Of tAe party. He has evinced kindly
feelings for the Southern people, aud If the
Radical policy is to be pressed at the South 1t
could not be executed under more favorable
circumstances than with General Grant at the
head Of the Executive.
THE ADDRESS TO MINISTER JOHNSON.
LIVERPOOL, October 20.-The. address which
the Liverpool Chamber OF Commerce has voted
to present to Reverdy johnson congratulates
him on the peace and harmony which exist be-
tween Great Britain and the United States, and
urges the necessity for tho practical adoption

claring that such change would give great
impetus 10 American commerce, and show that
the resources of thu United States are even
greater in peace than in war.
THE WORK OF REORGANIZATION IN SPAIN CIR
oULiR OF THE JUNTA TO FOREIGN REPREsEN-
TATIvEs.
MADRID, October 2O.-The reorganization OF
the nation is proceeding rapidly. Governors
civil and military, have been appointed in all
the provinces. The Democrats have assembled
in different parts Of the country and declared
for all males who have reached the age OF
twenty years to be allowed to vote.
The Junta has issued circular to foreign
representatives Of Spain, explaining the origin
and progress of toe revolution, and advocating
the sovereignty of the people and religious
freedom. The future form Of government Is
not announced, but the circular says If the e1-
ample of the United States is now followed the
friends Of freedom must feel no discourage
ment. No foreign Intervention is apprehend-
ed. The Provisional Government seeks to put
Spain on a level with the most advanced pow
ers, and hopes that the friendly relations un-
der the late oppressive reign will be continued.
The moderate and clerical parties are form
ing coalition, and will vote for the same can

IN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Effect of the Late War on Insurance
Policies.

In the Superior Court Of Baltimore, on Mon
day. Judge Dobbin fled an important opin-
ion:
The Lynchbug Hose and Fre Insurance
Company u.s. james Kr1cT-Ihis is suit in
stituted by the plaintiff, q corporation created
by the laws of Virginia, aud having it's princi-
pal Office in Lynchburg, against the defendant,
q citizcn OF the State OF Maryland, resident in
Baltimore, to recover the amount OF promis-
sory note given for the premium Of insurance
on the schooner '.Graham" for one year from
the oath of March, 1861, the date of the policy
being the 23l of March, 1861.
The Judge held:
First. The existence of war does not now, as
was formerly held, annul contracts between
ciJizens OF the respective contending nations
made anterior to its breaking out, but only
suspends the remedy upon them during the
ia their character and require for their exc
cution that commercial intercourse shall be
maintained between the contracting parties;
or unless they be of character calculated to
hinder, or to repair by indemnity. tho acts OF
war of the country whose courts are called
upon to enforce the contract.
Secondly. The right to sue upon contracts
thus affected with suspension OF remedy re-
wives upon the restoration of peace, and there
after exists as amply as if the war had never
arisen. Applying these principles to the
premium note whichIs the subject OF this suit,
we find 1t is liable to none OF tho objections
winch would dissolve its obligations as con-
tract, but must be associated with that class
the remedy upon which was only suspended
during the pendency OF tho war, and Is by the
return OF peace now revived, unless IL can be
successfully maintained that the policy for
which 1t constituted the consideration was it.
selfdissolved by tho breaking out of hostili-
ties We must try the policy then by the same
rules to which wo have subjected the note.
It was made before the war broke out, and
was then valid contract. 1t is not executory
in its character in tho se1se in which that
word is to be understood in connection with
this subject, and does not necessltate any in
tercourse between the contracting parties du-
ring the continuance of the war. It is not
chargcabo with beng injurious to the Gov
ernmcnt Of the United States, because The
courts will not construe the general clause
against capture TO include o capture by the
cruisers of that government Brandon vs.
Cushing, 4 East, 417;) and indemnity to the
defendants against capture by the Confederate
cruisers would be rather in aid Of than in op-
position to the Government of the United
States. We find, then, that this contract OF
insurance. being free from any of the condi-
tions which would cause it to be dissolved by
tho war, stands only in the category OF those,
the remedy uDon which is still In the courts.
