SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
The Investment Wa. Legal.

An opinion was rendered in the Uni

the other day. in the case of Marianne
J. Badly vs.. John II. Hunter, admins
traitor, affirming the validity of invest
ments in confederate bonds during the
civil war. In rendering the opinion of
the court. Justice Harlan said:
The transactions between persons actually
residing within the territory dominated by the
government Of the confederate states were not
under the sanction OF the laws OF that govern
ment or any local government recognizing its
authority. The preservation Of order, the
maintenance OF police equations, the pros.
ecution OF crimes, the protection Of prop
erty, the enforcement OF contracts. the cele-
bration OF marriages. the settlement OF eS-
tateS the transfer aud descent OF property
and similar or kindred subjects were during
the war undor the control OF the local govern
ment constituting the so-called confederate
states What occurred or was done in respect
to such matters under the authority OF the
laws OF these local de facto governments
should not be diSregarded or held Invalid mere
hostility TO the Union established by the ma
tional constitution. because the existence OF
war did not relieve those within the inSurrec
tionary lines from the necessity OF civil obedt-
ence nor destroy the bonds Of society
The case went to the supreme court
on a writ of error from the supreme
court of &c Drgia. and the opinion of
that court was affirmed.

Not q Spanish victory.

Washington. June 4.-The Washing
ton Post says: There is absolutely no
doubt in the minds of the naval officials
in Washington that the sending of the
collier into the barbor was all a pre-ar-
ranged move on the part of Admiral
Sampson. The use of collier, the I'M
usual hour of the morning, the neces-
,ity of blockading the channel so as to
relieve some of the ships of the squad
ron from remaining stationed Oft San
tiago, the importance of discovering
whether the mines were effective-al
these reasons make it certain that the
Merrmac was deliberately guided to
her destruction. 1t was not Spanish
victory. 1t was a cleverly arranged
scheme on the part of the American adj
miral, and it was successful. The eight
men in a Spanish prison are the real
heroes of the war.
