Lifo Insurance Decision.

The following important decision was
recently rendered by the circuit court Of
the United States for the western district O
Tennessee
CIRCUIT COURT. OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT
OF TENNESSEE.
W. E. TAFT ct al, Heirs of Doctor Samuel Bond
deceased, us. Neio FORK Life Insurance Company
Commons, J.
A policy of insurance which indemnifes
. public enemy against loss in time of war
is unlawful; and where entered into
before hostilities, is abrogated when they
occur. The relations it establishes are
illegal between belligerents.
Where life policy provides that it shall
be void upon the non-payment of premiums
within the time prescribed, such payment
is condition precedent; time is of the
essence Of contract, and there can be no
recovery if punctual payment is omitted.
Where the performance of condition
precedent becomes unlawful, or by the act
of God, impossible, this will not authorize
q recovery upon the contract without per-
formance. Such case distinguished from
those in which subsequent iinpossibility and
illegality are relied upon as defence.
A contract of insurance, the continuance
of which depends upon the election and
acts of the insured, ls not like debt, the
obligation of which is absolute, and which
is suspended only by war.
The relations between the members of
corporation for mutual insurance present
all the evils and are dissolved by war for
the same reasons as those between ordi-
nary copartners.
The reasons for the dissolution of execu-
tory contracts by war are not alone that
such contracts involve inter-communion
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,
A court of equity has no authority to
decree the specific performance of an agree
ment in favor of party who has failed to
perform condition which is of the essence
of the contract, although prevented by its
becoming subsequently illegal or impos-
sible by act Of God.
A court of equity will not relieve party
from the effect of omitting to perform an
act, although the omission was caused by
subsequent illegality or impossibility aris-
ing from the act of God, where such act
was merely optional, and the other party
had no right to enforce its performance.
The agency of one representing an in
surance company, authorized to receive
premiums and renew policies, becomes un-
lawful when the insured and insurer be-
come public enemies.

short and mild, necessitating the storage
Of but little forage for stock, and
giving early and late pasturage. Our
waters afford the finest fish and
oysters, and our cities excellent
markets for every kind of farm produce.
And it is with the confident hope that
many strangers in quest of new and better
places for settlement may be induced to
come there. We cordially welcome and
encourage all enterprises in our midst
which, like the Upper Potomac Steamboat
company, propose to Increase our facilities
for transportation, stimulate our varied in
dustries, develop our valuable resources
and especially reclaim the impoverished
wastes which the thriftless, ruinous system
Of slavery has entailed upon the otherwise
favored domains Of the south.
And in this important connection we do
not hesitate to affirm that if the hundreds
of thousands of dollars which the capi-
talists Of Washington and Alexandra in
their mistaken anxiety for high rates of
interest foolishly squandered on Utopian
railroad projects in the wildernesses o. the
northwest had been judiciously invested in
the purchase and improvement of real
estate, and in railroad and steamboat
enterprises nearer home, our general
prosperity would have been immensely
and the investors far better
satisfied with their investments.

CHARGED WITH AN ATTEMPT TO
BRlBE.-Mr. Philip Whitlock was ar
rested yesterday evening and carried before
United States Commissioner Peasants
upon warrant issued at the instance Of
Henry Fl. Wells, jr., esq.,, United States
district attorney, who charged Whitlock
with offering him bribe to sign a petition
to the President for the pardon of Fisher
and Goldstcin. The accused appeared be-
fore the commissioner at s p. m. yesterday,
when the case was continued until
Saturday, and he bailcd for his ap-
pearance. The friends of Mr.. Whit
lock assert that no bribe was intended !;
that owing to his friendly relations with Mr..
Wells, he called upon him to express his
friendship for the families of the prisoners,
Fisher and Goldstein, and his desire to aid
them in any way he could. He denies any
corrupt or improper motive in seeking the
interview, and claims that Mr.. Wells is
entirely mistaken in the view he
took of what passed between them.
His friends believe that the arrest was
the result of misunderstanding between
these gentlemen.
The high standing of Mr.. Wells as an
officer of the government, and the we'll
known character of Mr.. Whitlock forbids
any other version of this affair, which will
no doubt be sustained when the facts can
be fully investigated.
