court reversed The decision rendered by that
court on a former occasion in the case of Hilb
VS. Peyton. Whilst motion to rehear

Dist Grattan, page 1856, and hence the impor-
lance of calling attention through the press to

all contracts for the loan Of Confederate money,
or with reference to such money as standard Of
value made between the 1st of January, 1862,
and the 10th of April, 1865; and that, although
the contrac. specifies the kind of money in which

PERsoNAL.-We were pleased to meet at the
recent district convention in this city, our old
ovid ,.1,,od dor,ooro{ frond ADAM C4anbopcop
ESQ.,, of Highland 1t has been years since we
met, but time has had no effect to dampen his
ardor or abate his earnestness in a cause he be-
leves to be right. HI is the same genial, mag.
netic Adam Stephenson of anti belum times, and
his presence revived many pleasant associa-
tons in the better days of the Republic.
Col. W. IL. Terrill, of Bath, was also present
during the Convention. His vigorous mind and
practical sense aided much in giving direction
to the action of many of the delegates. Such
men as Stephenson and Terrill should never grow
old. Indeed in spirit and active intellect and
warmth of heart, they never will grow DID, what
ever may be the destiny of the casket of clay
which is the citidal of the emotional man. We
wish we had State composed Of such specimens
of humanity. We would then think better of our
race.
Our friend Capt. J. W. Myers, Of Monterey, is
the same generous and open-h hearted Myers of
long ago. He was also present, and it afforded
us sincere pleasure to meet him Ii conventions
effect other good, they are occasions of bring
ing old friends together, not OF yto enjoy them
selves in the present associations but to refreshen
the memory of by gone pleasures.
