WASHINGTON, May 1.-The inter
view between Gen. Lee and the Presi-
dent was marked by great courtesy
When Gen. Lee was ushercd into the
Executive office Minister Motley was
present. The latter after moment re-
tired thinking perhaps the interview be-
tween President Grant and General Lee
was in reference to national matters
1t was not, however; confined to mere
greetings between the two.
General Lee is stopping in George
town, and keeps entirely aloof from
public observation. His visit to the
White House this morning was an occa-
sion of great interest.
No other interviews were had with
the President by any one after General
Lee retired.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

At Oglcthorpc Superior Court, last
week, Judge Andrews made an impor-
tant decision on the relief law, which is
thus set forth by correspondent of the
Augusta ConstitatioNaliSt:
Upon point arising under the relief
law, he held that contract made before
the war was q contract to pay the speci-
fic number of dollars therein mentioned
and that though he was bound under the
ruling of the Supreme Court, to admit
testimony as to the amount of property
owned by the debtor when the contract
was made, how much he had lost, in what
manner, ETC., rs is provided in the relief
law. yet. as 20 the effect this testimony
was to have, he would not, until further
controlled by the Supreme Court, allow
an old debt to be scaled upon the ground
that the debtor had lost his property, or
other such ground; that he could see no
equity in it, and unless there was plea
of failure of consideration, or some SINH
lar one, the reduction of the amount of
the debt was in violation of tho Federal
constitution.
Affidavits fled by debtors for TIE pur-
pose of rc-opening judgments under the
above law, were summarily dismissed
and the lcvying officer ordered to pro-
coed.

OBITUARY Y.
The MARQUIS de hIOustier.

A cable despatch which we announce this
morning informs us of the death OF the Mar
quis de Moustier, member OF the French
Senate and late Minister of Foreign Affairs
Lionel, Marquis de Moustier, was born in 1915,
and is the eldest son of the Marquis Clement
Edward de Moustier. He was educated for the
diplomatic career, elected member OF the
Legislative Assembly for the Department of
D1ubs, May l3, lS40; was Ambassador at the
Court of Berlin from March. 1858. to November,
1859; Ambassador at Vienna from December,
1853. to August, 1861; Ambassador at ConsJanti-
nople from August, lS6l to September, 1885,
and appointed Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs on the I'd of September, 1865. which
place he held up to December, 1868, when he
WAS made Senator, and was succeeded by the
Marquis de La Valette. While filling the De-
partnent of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis was
generally regarded as representing the war
policy of the Empire, and, in particular, as
urging an aggressive Interference in the affairs
OF Germany, with a view to preventing the
contamination OF German unity. His health.
since the period OF his appoihtment to the
Senate, has been stea0ily and perceptibly de-
clining. His retirement from the Foreign De-
partment was almost universally regarded as a
man fG station on the part of Napoleon III OF his
abandonment OF a war policy towards Prussia,
and the news OF IL was joyfully received at the
Prussian Court.
