I. 0. o. F.-The Independent Order of
Odd-Fellows was before the war one of
the largest and most prosperous benevolent
organizations in our city. Suffering in
common with all our public institutions
from the calamitous effects of the war, the
members of this society have struggled
hard TO regain lost ground. At length they
are beginning to realize their hopes. Ac-
cessions to their ranks and the replenished
treasures of the Lodges are inspiring the
members with the purpose of erecting, in
attractive hall than the one now occupied
by them at the corner of Franklin and
Mayo streets. We trust they will speedily
put their plans into execution, and give us
in connection with their building large
room for public meetings, concerts, &c.

CONFEDERATE CURRENCY WILL Nor PAY
NEGOTIABLE NOTES THAT MATURED IN 1861.
The Supreme Court of Virginia yesterday
delivered its opinion in the case of the
Bank of the old Dominion VS.. Townsend
McVeigh. It appears that the defendant,
McVeioh, executed three notes, amountin g
altogether to the sum of S2,476, negotiated
by and payable to the Bank Of the Old Do.
minion in Alexandria, which matured in
July, August, and September, 1861, and
were not paid ut maturity. The bank sued
in the Circuit Court OF Loudoun for the re-
ccvery of the principal and interest of these
notes. The defendant pleaded that on the
18th day of July, 1864, he paid the branch
bank Of the Old Dominion, at Pearisburg,
the amount of the aforesaid negotiable
notes in Confederate States treasury notes,
under authority of an act of the Cen
eral Assembly of Virginia, passed 81
March. 1864. The Supreme Court of Ap-
peals held: "If the authority was to pay
in legal currency then the defendant in er-
ror [McNeigh] has not complied with the
requirements Of the act, and if the act (as
construed by the court below authorized
the payment of the debt in Confederate
currency, which was contracted to be paid
in gold OF its equivalent, then 1t is clearly
unconstitutional and void, because 1t is an
attempt to make worthless currency le-
gal tender. In either or any view of the
case the debt has not been discharged, but
is still due and unpaid"
Judgment of the Circuit Court of Lou
doun reversed.

prescribed by the, Code, chapter 56, Sec
lions to 16. -. ...-..-..
2. That the county court Of said county
properly overrlled the motion of the said
Joseph B. Gerrell and others to he allowed
to show cause and file exceptions to the re-
port Of the commissioners appointed by
the said court to ascertain Just rompen-
sation TO the owners of the land proposed
to be taken by the said Board of Super
visors for the purpose aforesaid.
5. The circuit court had no authority to
award writ of error and supersedeas to
the judgment Of the county court con.
demning the said land for the purpose
aforesaid, and had no authority to enter.
tain jurisdiction Of said writ of error.
4. That prohibition is the proper remedy
for the plaintiffs in such case rs this. and
that it is not necessary for them to file a
declaration in the case,
Writ Of prohibition awarded stopping
al further proceedings under the writ OF
error Of the circuit court, and thus s,i>.
