OF money-somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000. Acommittee IVES formed
for the purpose of paying out the week

control to o certain extent of the moneys
of the union. On one occasion 81 800
were drawn from the bank and on an
other 81, 300. On squaring accounts it
was found that 800 were missing, which
the financial secretary declares s.disap-
peared around that le"-meaning q

transact business. The members are very
indignant about the matter, although
the President of the society says he will
be able to ''settle it all right" Very few
of the men have obtained situations, and
after next week no further pecuniary aid
will be given them by the society.

strange, too, he is the bosom friend of

HE VALIDITY OF OBLIGATIONS FOR
SLAvEs-AN IMPORTANT DECISION. is
well known that the Supreme Court OF
Louisiana, in an Neutrality-suspicious.
Judgment, more than year ago, decreed
that obligations founded upon property
in slaves were invalid, in consequence of
the abolition of the institution of slavery
by the Government of the United States.
The Court, therefore, refused to enforce
the payment of such obligations. They
asserted in their decree that slavery had
never existed by law in the United
States, but that it had been tolerated
only.
Judge Durell, of the United States
Court in this State, thinks differently,
and we do not see how any lawyer could
come to the conclusion that o contract,
lawful when entered INTO, could possibly
become unlawful by any subsequent act
OF the Government. Judge Durell de-
clded, last week, in favor OF the plaintiff
In the case Of Walter L. Campbell vs. L..

the consideration of which was for the
purchase of slaves. The defendant
pleaded the destruction of the property
by net of the Government. The sum
claimed was $4,000, with 8 per cent. in.
terest from April 4, 1860, until paid.
