THE WAR AvERrED.

The question of war with Spain
which for day or two has assumed a
very serious aud grave aspect, takes an
other turn, and for the present war
seems to be averied. That Government
it appears from our highly important
dispatches to-day, is about to cOneede
TO the demands Of this country. with
miner exceptions, desired to be submitted
TO the arbitration Of European powers.
The Yirginius, with her surviving cap
TWAS il TO be surrendered her flag sa'
luted at Santiago de Cuba, their families
compensated, the butchers tried and
punished, and other reparation made.
The ownership Of the vessel aud other
;ssues can be left to mixed tribunal.
The home Government of Spain seems
s;s,osed TO do what is right; the only
trouble may be with the Cuban Govern
meut. which seems reckless and insolent.

War and Lie Insurnncs.

A point connected with life insurance
which is of special interest, probably, to
many persons in the Southern States,
has just been decided in one Of the Uni
ted States Circuit Courts. The case was
as follows:
CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES,
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT or TENYEs.
SEE.
W. Z. TAFT, ct al, heirs Of DR.. Samuel Bond,
deceased, VS.. New York Life Insurance
Company. Commons, j.
A policy of insurance which indemni-
6es public enemy against loss in time
of war is unlawful; and when entered
into before hostilities, is abrogated when
hostilities occur. The relations it es-
tablishes are illegal between belligerents
Where life policy provides it shall
be void upon the non-payment of pre-
miums within the time prescribed, such
payment is a condition precedent; time
is of the essence of contract, and there
can be no recovery if punctual payment
is omitted.
Where the performance of q condi.
ton precedent becomes unlawful, or by
the act of God, impossible, this will not
authorize a recovery upon the contract
without performance. Such case dis
tinguished from those in which subse-
quent impossibility and illegality are re-
lied upon as a defense.
A contract of insurance, the continu-
ance of which depends upon the cleo
ton and acts Of the insured, is not like
a debt the obligation of which is abso-
lutte, and which is only suspended by
war.
The relations between the members Of
a corporation for MUTUAL insurance pre-
sent all the evils and are dissolved by
war for the same reasons as those be-
tween ordinary copartners.
The reasons for the dissolution Of ex-
ecutory contracts by war are not alone
that such contracts involve inter COM
munion across the hostile hnss, or that
they relate to property liable to capture;
bpt more especially because their execu-
tor increases the resources Of the
enemy.
A court Of equity has no authority to
decree the specific performance OF an
agreement in favor Of party who has
failed to perform g condition which is
Of the essence OF The contract, although
prevented by its becoming subsequently
illegal or Impossible by act of God.
A court of equity will not relieve a
party from the effect of emitting to per
form an act, although the omission was
caused by subsequent illegally or i'm
possibility arising from the act Of God,
YheFe such act was merely optional, and
the other party had 40 right 10 enforce
its performance.
The agency Of one representing an
insurance company, authorized TO re-
ceive premiums and renew policies, be-
comes unlawful when the insured and
insurer become public enemies.
Humes 4 Poster, for plaintiff; Ran
dolph, Hammond 4 Jordan, for defend
ants.
