FOREIGN NEWS.

PARIS, Nov 2o.-Tbe majority OF
the members Of the diplomatic corps
have rendered congratulate rs to Presi-
dent AlcMahon on the prolongation Of
his term. The ministers have consent
cd to remain in Office until the interpret
lation concerning the delayed elections
is considered and disposed Of.
ROME, Nov, 20-The Pope to-day
delivered an address to the foreign
students about to leaye for their homes
in consequence Of the sppression OF
religious institutions. He warned the
Americans among them Of the complete
and almost excessive liberty to which
they would soon be exposed, but at
the same time drew contrast between
the non-interference with the Church III
their country and the prosecutions to
which it was subjected In the German
empire.
LONDON, Nov. CA dispatch from,
Cape Coast Castle, Oct. 81, says: Gen.
Wolseley returned yesterday from a
Reconnaissance. in front He reports
forty thousand Ashantees encamped at
Mampon. An attack was considered
hazardous with the handful of marines,
but learning that the enemy had with
drawn separate column toward
Tberunprat the General advanced
arriving next morning at Abracampra,
and took several ,fprisoners there. AT
the same time Col. Testing advanced
from Dunquah, a fortified post on the
way to Cooinassie, and destroyed sone
camps of the enemy. The latter rallied
under coverof brush, and assailed the
British forces An engagement fol
lowed, lasting two hours, when the
savages were beaten Off The British
force then returned to Duuquah. They
lost forty seven wounded, including
five officers. They claim success, as
the enemy retreated, while the whites
held their ground.
PARIS November 2O.-The session
of the Assembly last evening was
tumultuous. The motion to prolong
MacMahon's power for seven years in
dependent of the adoption of the con
stitution, was adopted by Sc majority.
A motion to appoint a committee of
thirty to report constitutional bills was
also adopted by 68 majority.
Paris is greatly excited over the re
suit.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the Assembly last night the mem
bers Of the cabinet waited upon Presi
dent MacMahon and rendered their res
ignations. He refused to accept them.
and begged ministers to retain their
offices until new cabinet was formed.

Debt and Dishonesty.

The prevailing lack of honesty, saws
the Lynchburg Ne'es, may be traced in
part to the credit system, which puts
a thousand men Of integrity at the mer-
cy of one Who seeks to escape his Just
obligations. For if one refuses to pay.
there may be thousand who are will.
ing and anxious TO do so, but arc bv
his t'efcl.ction, deprived Of the ability.
For q man to hold back what belongs
to ai:ot!ier, when it is in E;S power to
make satisfacti"n. is downright dishon-
esty. Other things being equal dis
honesty prevails in proportion to the
facilities Tor escaping obligations. The
newspaper credit system opens a wide
door for such delinquencies. The
smallness Of the sums involved, which
ought to be reason tor their prompt
liquidation, is permitted to operate de
lays and often entire failures to paw,
working thereby the greatest injustice
and injury to publishers. These sums,
inconsiderable to each subscriber, vet,
in the aggregate, are great and essential
The ocean is made up of minute drops.
and the earth of atoms. If there were
a capacity and willingness in each drop
and atom to withhold itself from the
sea and globe, we should have worse
than chaos. Delinquent new spaper
subscribers iii general are as de,er,i q
apprehension as any class of DEBTORS in
the world.

ton was also received that since the in
terruption OF teieggaphic comnunica
ton 1t .requires four days to send or re

consequent prolonged time required to
communicate the orders from the Mad

BUTTONS shows that as soon as Gov.
lSurrel could have received those orders
they were obeyed by him. The infor
nation shows that only fifty-three exc !
cutions occurred previous to the receipt
of the orders by Burriel, and that since
ne has taken no action except to keep
the remainder of the prisoners in close
confinement If he had not obeyed the
orders mentioned he would have placed
himself virtually in the position of re

Ike consul at Santiago reports, un-
der date OF the 18Th instant, that the
total number of executions of persons
from the Virginius were fifty-three and
that there had been no executions since
the 9Th instant. Statemt hts published
on the lAth instant respecting fifty sew

on herring that Ryan was to be shot,
waited on the Governor and demanded

The upper Valley papers contend
that the Valley is justly entitled to the
next United States Senator. If such
be the case, We know of n, one in the
state, whose distinguished legal abil
tiles, no less than his consistent moral
character and unwavering devotion to
Virginia, under. all circumstances,
claim the attention of the Legislature
to greater extent than do those of
Moses WALTON, ESQ, Of this county
Ma. WALTON does not belong to that
class of politicians who have the happy
faculty CT pushing their own claims to
public Office, but has quietly attended
to the duties of his profession, except
npon one or two occasi ms, when at the
demand of the State. his distinguished
services were rendered with prompt
ness and an ability that was creditabe
both to himself and the county which
he represented.
We are not disposed to urge the
name of Mr.. WALTON because he is
from this section of the state, but be-
cause we believe he possesses,in no small
degree, the necessary qualifications as
an able and efficient representative
and that should he be chosen as our
Senator, he would, by his untiring en-
ergv,render valuable services both to
his state AMI to the general govern
ment.

Tie Law i. TIE virsinins .sss.

In August, 1912, Daniel Webster. in
letter to Lord Ashburton. announced
the American Goc+ rine of maratime
rights as follows:
"a vessel on the high seas, beyond
the distance Of ii marine league from
the shore, is regarded as part of the
territory Of the nation to which she be-
longs, and is subject exclusively to the
jurisdiction Of that nation"
And in his instructions to Edward
Everett, at that time minister to Eng
land. Mr. Webster sad:
'it may be asked, if a vessel NAV not
be called on to show her papers, why
does she carry papers No doubt she
may be called on to show her papers !:
but the question is, where, when and
by whom? Not in time of peace on the
high seas, wher': her rights are equal to
those OF any other vessel, and where
none. has right to modest her. The
use of her papers is, in time of war; to
prove her neutrality when visited b.
belligerent cruisers; and in both peace
and war, to show her national character
in those ports of other countries to
which she may proceed fer purposes OF
trade"
And the New York Wo1d quotes
the following solemn declaration our
government made in 1912 to Great
britain of the rule BY which thereafter
it would be guided, viz:
"fhat rule announces, therefore,
what will hereafter be the principle
maintained by this government In
every regularly documented American
merchant vessel, the crew who navi-
gate it will tind their protection in the
flag which is over them"

A policy of insurance which indem--
nifies q public enemy against loss in

tered into before hostilities, is abrogat
ed when they occur The relations it
establishes are illegal between bellige

Where life policy provides that it
shall be void upon the non payment
Of premiums within the time prescribed
such payment is a condition precedent;
time is Of the essence of contract, and
there can be no recovery if pun ctual
payment is omitted.
IS Where the rerformanes ola condition
precedent becomes unlawful, or by
the act Of God, impossible. this will not
authorize recovery upon the contract
without performance. Such case dis
tingllished from those in which subse-
quent ilnpossibility are relied upon as a
defence.
A contract of insurance, the con
tinuance of which depends upon the
election and acts of the insured, is not
like debt, the obligation of which. is
absolute, and which is suspended only
by war.
The relations between the members
Of a corporation for mutual insurance
present all the evils and are dissolved
by war for the same reasons as those
between ordinary copartners.
The reasons for the dissolution of the
executory contracts by war are not alone
that such contracts involve inter commun
ion across the hostile lines. or that they
relate to property liable to capture; but
more especially because their execution
increases the resources of the enemy.
4 court ofequity has no authority to
decree the specific performance OF an
agreement in favor of a pr ty who has
failed to perform condition which is
of the essence of the contract, although

Notwithstanding the exciting and
sensational rumors with which the pa
pers are filed, the present indications
are that the diff culties between the
United States and Spanish governments
will be adjusted without a resort to
war. The popular feeling of indigna-
ton aroused by the summary executions
of the crew and passengers of the Vir-
gmius, extended throughout the United
States and was by no means confined
to any ps'.ty. AS legitimate result of
that excitement the idea of immediate
war against the government, response
Bile for the outrage, was generally enter
tained--an idea which was encouraged
by large meetings, bombastic speeches
aud stunning" dispatches. The Span
ish government has evinced disposi
ton to accede to the demands made by
The United States government and
whatever difference there may be be
tween the two governments, can, it is
now supposed, be settled by arbitration
rather than by resort to arms. We
sincerely hope that the difficulties NAV
be thus adjusted, rather than by inau-
gurating war the extent and cost of
which cannot now be estimated. The
administration has eyinced a deterni
nation to maintain the honor of the
government and demand full repara
ton for past injuries and indemnity
against future acts of lawlessness. If
these necessary demands Of our govern
n.ent should be met in the proper .spir-
it by the Spanish government the cause
Of war would be removed, and having
secured for our citizens full security
against further Illegal outrages, we
shall have attained all which we could
possibly hope to attain by resort to
war. 1t may, however, be urged by some
that the result of war would be the
annexation of G uba to the United States
Granting that such would be the casc,
it would be poor compensation for the
loss occasioned by the interruption Of
our commerce, independent of the
greater loss in blood and treasure
consequent npon state of war.
