The Louisville Ledger reports an interest
ing case. involving the question of the pay
ment to those who were slaves at the time
OF enlistment in the federal army:
The opinion of Judge Ballard in tho case,
Samuel Perkins VS.. the city of Louisville.
will be read with interest. The suit was
brought by Perkins (colored) against the
city for $500 bounty, offered by the city for
enlistments in the federal army. At the
time OF the enlistment Perkins was slave
the property of Isaac n. Webb, and the
main plea of the defense was that, being a
slave, plaintiff had no right to contract;
hence, that if the city owe anything on ac-
count OF the enlistment, it is due to the
master. To the plea the court sustained a
demurrer, holding that though the plaintiff
wers slave. and as such disqualified to
contract at tho time OF enlistment, yet. as
soon as the enlistment was contaminated.
he became Free and the contract though it
might have been void as to him till then.
thereupOn became valid, and Injured to his
benefit

way of his own to enforce peace in the
neighbcrhood of Watkinsville where he re-
sides. One night lastl week several shots
were fred through his house. and, under
the superstition that the occupant had re
ceived his quietus. the attacking force
entered the house. But. fortunately, Mr..
Richardson was not SD dead but what he
was able to kill the leading intruder, when
the others fed. 1t is hardly necessary to
add. but we will do so. that Richardson is q
colored Republican. and his dead assailant
proved to be Democratic neighbor. This
