lager, because he loves old Bourbon
whiskey better? Atany rate, it has been q
wonder to the writer, that American
journals have, with few exceptions, taken
sides with the French in the ingoing
struggle. What does this mean? Do
they feel moro sympathy for that power,
because it is on the brink of ruin? Or
do they hope that the God Of Battles
may turn the scales of victory and let
the "Dutch" be beaten?

INVESTMENTS IN CONFEDERATE BONDS.

We learn that the decision of Chief
Justice Chase in case lately depending
before him (Head and Others as. Tally.
administrator,) touching investments
made by administrators, guardians, etc.,
III bonds of the late Confederate States.
WIS that where al administrator pur,
chased such securities directly from the
insurgent government, though one of
its officers, with tho funds of his bene-
hciary, he must be held responsible for
the amount so invested. Such O trans
action, directly furnishing money to the
insurgents to carry on the war against
the United States, could not be recog-
nized by the courts of the United States.

MON as to what would be the law in case
person aching in fduciary capacity
invested trust funds bona file in Con-
federate securities, purchased, not from
the Confederate Government, but in
open market, without any intent to aid
the rebellion.
We make this explanation because the
simple announcement OF the decision of
Chief Justice Chase, in the case of Head
os. Tally, administrator, might cause the
souls Of administrators, etc, acting as
such during the late war, to quake with
