Les Cent Nrdes.

One of the neatest andInost pleasant par
ties of the season was tht given last night
by Lies Cent Gardes" a Exposition Hall.
This association is compced of some of the
best of our young business men. and invi-
tations to their soirees have come to be
eagerly sought for. The large hall proved
to be none too ample for the assemblage of
last evening. The young men were gallant
and agreeable; and the ladies present, in
large numbers, seemed the fairest of the
fair, and, in compliment to their hosts, ap-
peared in elegant evening dress. 1t has
often been remarked thai the true Southern
girl is far ahead of her Northern sisters in
the art of making herset most bewitching
with the simplest means Give her light,
airy fabrics, a few knotsof bright ribbons,
with here and there a 1atural flower, and
sometimes an extra curl and she is straight
way creature of all loneliness. The ball
last night proved this, aid the gathering of
merry dancers was SOMETHING beautiful to
look upon

War and Life Insurance.

4 point connected with life insurance
which is of special interest, probably, tc
many persons in the Southern States, has
| Just been decided in one of che United
| States Circuit Courts.
The case was as follows:
| CIRCUIT COURT oF THE UNITED STATES FOR
THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE.
w. E. TAFT ct AL, heirs of Doctor Samuel
Bond, deceased, vs.. New York Life Insur-
ance Company. Comm )ns, IA policy of
insurance which indemnites public enemy
against loss in time of war is unlawful; and
where entered into before hostillities, is
abrogated when they occur. The relations
it establishes are illegal between bel
ligerents.
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, aud there can be no
recovery if punctual payment is omitted.
Where the performance of a condition
precedent becomes unlawful, or, by the act
of God, impossible, this will not authorize
a recovery upon the contract without per-
formance. Such case distinguished from
those in which subsequent impossibility and
illegality are relied upon as defense.
A contract of insurance, the continuance
of which depends upon the election and
acts of the insured, is not like a 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 ordinary
copartners.
The reason 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 es-
peeially because their execution increases
the resources OF the enemy.
A court of equity has no authority to de-
cree the specific performance of an agree
ment in favor of a party who has failed to
perform condition which is of the essencet t
contract, although prevented by its becom-
ing subsequently illegal or impossible by
act of God. .a
A court of equity will not relieve the
party from the effect of omitting to perform
an act, although the omission was caused
by subsequent illegality or impossibility
arising 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 insur-
ance company, authorized to receive pre-
miums and renew policies, becomes unlaw-
full when the insured and the insurer be-
come public enemies.

Hammond & Jordan, for defendants.

know where it was. If it was wrong for
members to take what the law allowed,
where were men to find q rule OF right and
wrong! .f
His remarks on the subject did not. he
said, apply to himself, but he was citizen
in the dignity and character of Congress
He claimed that when Congress passed the
retroactive law of last session it had a con-
stitutional right to do so. He was not say
ing whether it was expedient or not, but
no blush should rest on the cheek of any
man, whether he voted for the bill or not,
who took the money.
If he had been here he should have taken
it, whether he voted for it or not, and
should have felt that he was as justly en-
titled to it as he was to receive dollar
day. 1t was a constitutional law, consuitu-
tiOnally passed, and those who were en-
titled to pay under it were as much en-
titled to the whole of it as they were to any
dime received under it.
If any thought it was too much, and re-
turned it, he tStephens) would not cast
slur upon him for doing so. He had. he re-
marked, discussed the moral view, and he
would now proceed to discuss it in its po-
litical aspect. He was not going to place
value on his own services as a representa-
tive, but were he to state what he thought
the services of Representative ought to
be worth, he would go far above the figure
of any law that has ever been passed.
A representative of the people ought to
be q man of that mental calibre, that in.
formation, that education, that virtue, that
trustworthiness, and all those qualities
which command the highest remuneration.
He had given it as his opinion in the last
speech he made in the House, fourteen
years ago, that if the salaries of the mem
bers of Congress were $4,000, and of SEN
ators $4,000, that of the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court $50, 900, those Of the es-
sociate judges $25, 900. and that of the Presi-
dent 100000, it would be better for the
country at large. He held the same opinion
still.
He certainly should not vote for the bill
reported by the committee, but he believed
that the most unwise action of the last
Congress was the abolition of the franBing
privileges.

Holiday Vacation n the Schools.

The school board, the meeting on
Wednesday night, adopted a resolution to
close all the schools, except the high
schools, from Friday, nineteenth instant,
till January 5. This wa an oversight, and
will probably have to le modified, as the
division superintendent had previously or
dered the examinations for promotions of
pupils to take place IN the nineteenth,
twenty-second, twentythird and twenty
fourth. In case another meeting of the
board is impracticable, perhaps it would be
proper for the superintendent to request
the several teachers to open their schools
as usual until Christmas. We are conf
dent such action would be approved by the
board

OF for Cua.

There was sudden ar and rattle at
naval headquarters yesrday afternoon,
SURPRISING even the actity that the war
cry aroused two weeks ag
Taken in connection wi, the news of the
sudden transfer of the V.ginius prisoners
to Cienfuegos, the armin of that ship as
war vessel, and the PIRATE dispatches re-
ported as received i'll lgh quarters, from
Washington, that "Wa1s inevitable" our
reporters suspicious wre raised to fever
heat.
The one point definite which he learned,
and may divulge, is the let that dispatch
was unexpectedly recered at noon, in
structing that full crevbe organized and
dispatched instantly totKey West, whel .
war vessel will be fund awaiting the
complement of men thus furnished.
In case Of war New rleans will have
the proud satisfaction # knowing that
Shipping Commissioner Wright and our
people have nobly dischsged their duty to
the government, 1000 piked men having
already been recruited fothe naval service,
while thousands Of tried men and true will

The Louisiana Case in Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times of the eighth instant says:
There are three Louisiana delegations
here in the matter of the Senatorship from
that State. Two of then are in the interest
Of Pinchback and McNillen, respectively.
The third asks that lew election be or
dered. There will be another meeting of
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections Wednesday night, at the rooms of
General Gordon, of the committee. Senator
West will represent Mr.. Pinchback, and Mr..
McMillen will speak for himself.
1t is generally known here who are the
advocates of Pinchback and McMillen in
Washington; but it might be edifying to
know what delegation is in Washington
from Louisiana demanding new election

If Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, has been
doing what his neighbors say he has he will
soon be the rising man of the West. Mr..
Ingalls, is turning his attention to the great
transportation problem. The Senators who
have hitherto been wrestling with it are all
working in the interest of the Northern
lines. Let Mr.. Ingalls, pour such flood Of
light upon the subject that even Mr.. Conk-
ling will admit that the Mississippi river is
q larger wstercourse than the Erie Canal

Senator Vests bill, introduced into the
Senate on Monday, provides that the en-

of the Mississippi shall have full authority
to control the movement of tugs and vessels
over bars where dredging is in progress.
This power is regarded as absolutely neces-
