-The Secession Ordinance and Civil Affair?.
On th? 12th instant, Justice B ?bsabd, of tho
* Superior Courfc o? Now York, 'in the oabo of tho
Crescent City Bank vs. Edward, et als, doniocl
, the motion, to strike out the dofence of Mr. Mat
_:, .THxws, a party to tho suit.
! Tho question involved in this preliminary mo
r tlon is one of great importance to all persona hav
t Ing business connections with Southorn firms du
' ring the war. The suit was brought upon a note
UWen by the agent of the firm of Matthews &
BiiANDF.H, if such a firm existed intermodiato the
: Louisiana Ordinance* of Secession and tho capturo
Of New Orleans, at that city, and was discounted
by the plaintiff. Matthews was thon and now a
resident of New Yorj*-, while tho other partners
.-were residents of New Orleans.
Tho defendant, Matthews, net up in bin answer,,
,r- --first, that the partnership was never compIeUd,
being contingent on tho accession of a third party,
and, second, that the ordinance of acoc?alo?, and
civil war turned all the residents of Louisiana into
alien enemies, and thus dissolved all contraate,
... including partnersUipe. The plaintiff moved to
strike out this answer as frivolous, tin* a bringing
mp the wholo question, and it was urged at some
length a fow days age, wbon tho case was reported
.. in full, the plaintiff arguing that to give suoh an
effect to tho ordinance of secession would be to
give a judicial recognition of their validity and of
the independence of tho seceded States ; the de
fendant arguing that it was meroly reoogAizirig a
defacto st ??to of wat* in tho samo way and to, tho
same extent as it had been accepted by tho United
States Courts in prize casos. Tho Court sustains
by its decision the defence
Mr. Bbophb.u>, Second Comptroller of the Trea
sury, in a case wheroin certain persona, residing
in tho Confodorato States and domiciled in thoso
States before and during the war, have gone for
ward and demanded balances which they allego
wore due and payablo to thorn beforo tho war be
gan, goes into an elaborate argument to a how
that they are not entitled to rocovor, although
their allegations be undisputed. Ho says that
while the war continued, "claimants, in the eye of
the law, were regarded as hostile characters, and
their property as enemy's proporty liable to aeiz
uro and confiscation, and the hostile quality at
taches to both persons and things, until, by the
action of Congress, or the Exooutive, it is wholly
removed.
"The rule of law'to bo observed in the present
caso ?b that applicable alike to civil and interna
tional Ware; for the "general ases of nations re
gards such a war [civil war] as entitling both the
contending parties to all the rights of war as
against each other, and even as respecta neutral
nations." ( Vide. Wheaton on International Law,
:.' . p. 522; also Yattf.l, book HI., ch. xviii., p. 826; Ross
** vs. Him-slv, Bbasoh R., 272; the Venios, 2 W.u>
GAOK R, 258.) * *
"We must be governed," says the Chief-Justice,
j- .- "by the principle of public law so often announoed
from thoboneh as applicable a?k?. to oi*?il.aud in
ternational wars, that all the peoplo of each State
<sr district, in insurrection against the United
. .. States, must bo regarded as enemies until by the
'..,, . action of the Logialaturo, and ihu Executive, or
**?. otherwise,' that relation ia thoroughly and perma
nently changed." (Case of Mra. Alexanpeb's cot
ton, 2 Wallace R., 419.)
And "from tho monent our Stato is at war with
another it has, on general principles, a right to
seize on the enemy's property thus taken to its
own use or to that of the oaptors." (Wheaton,
. supra, p. 696; also, Vattel, supra, sec 161, p.
-, s)??-*.) ?''!i ,1 >r !>. v ?v
; - Debts stand, upon the a ame; ground in,' jthia re
gard us other proporty '? itie Piiilimobb on Inter
national Law, vol, iii., p. 132, sec. 87; Raows *os.
United States, 8 Rranch R., HO).
The authorities above cited establish the right
of the United States to the debts due a rebel ene
my at tho time the war commenced. They also
prove that, in a legal point of view, claimants
. . were enemies of the Government of tho United
-States.
These debts, therefore, never having been re
duced, to possession, but always having remained
as balances in the Treasury, cannot now be witb,
drawn by claimants, except in violation of law".
For the title of these b alance a, jure belli must be
regarded as divested from the original owners and
, transferred to the United- States (vide Wheaton,
supra, p. 629.) '
It appears, then, if the position of Judge Bab
nabd and the Comptroller be sustained by the
higher authorities, that all Northern debtors and
the Government itself are to be relieved of every
pecuniary obligation to the people of the late Con
federaoy; whilst the latter, as we aU know, are
-sompelled, notwithstanding the terrible losses
they have sustained, to satisfy every Northern
creditor and pay ?o th?'Government their full
quota of taxes.
^ ?en. Steadman's Mission In the South??
The Fried i???,?.'/, Bar.ua?The la a bo k
?Tataeatlon in Virginia.
Ry order of the War Department, a commission
of inquiry has been issued into the workings ol
the Freedmen'e Bureau in tho South. The Com
missioners1 appointed, ar?; Major-Qeneral J. R,
Steadhan, of Ohio, and Brigadier-General J. S.
Foixebton, of Missouri, tivo officers said to be
eminently qualified to discharge the duties ausign
ed them. The investigation will .probably he pur
sued over all'the Southern States, from Virginia
to Texas, And will embrace tho extent and charac
ter of tho relief afforded to freedmon in tho past
the amount of assistance deemed necessary in the
future, the effect of the system on the relations ol
the wbito and colored population, its cost to the
country, and the necessity or otherwise of ils con
tinuance. Gens. Steadman and Fui^EntoN have
commenced their investigations in Virginia, and s
correspondent of tho New York HeraXd states that
n their experience, thus far, is idontical with thai
of Gen; Gbakt, and shows cohclu?iv?|y that th<
representations of radioal leaders and papers
alleging" antagonism between the' races and out
rages upon tho weaker one, aro exaggerations o:

peoplo generally. The correspondent of th?

writes from Obarlott?svil.e,' Virginia, under dak

Our roadorB will naturally inquire why, if these,
returns are official,. we do. not reoeivo them with
implicit credit. Tho answer covers ono of th?
most remarkablo reoords ever mado in the Trea
sury Department. Wo have heretofore called at
tention to the gross errors whtoh wel-o apparent
in th? annual volume's of the Finance Report and
Commerce and Navigation, commencing with ttie
year 1861, but wo aupposod that moat of those
were the rtsult of carelessness or stupidity. We,
now wish to give a plain comparison of tho total
of thuHo returns as published undor Mr. Ghasb
and Mr. McCullooh, -and leave the candid public
to judge for themselves'as to the motives which
have produced this diilorenco. Tho following is
the official statement put forth by Secretary
Chaso, and, repeated by Mr.. Fo-meiidon, in the
officiai Finance Report'of 1864, page 242:

Excess Of exports_.$192,918,494 i ' |
Thin would show that sotting the exports (mostly
given in paper money value) against the imports
(given in foreign gold value), there would be a
seeming oxcess of exports in four yoars amount
iog to nearly two hundred million dollars. We
published theabove table just a year ago, with the
comment that it was moBt extraordinary,. and re
marked that we should "not be surprised to hear
of Hubuoquont corrections." . N?.one~oould expect,
however, that the corrections would ?take on such
a" shape as wo ' bavo now presented.' Tho new
volume, issued by Secretary McCullooh, gives the
new readings as follows :,. ? - - ,. .

Excess of Imports:... ..$4o,ih3,D24
Thus, instead of an excess of exporta for these
four years amounting to $103,916,491, we havo an
excess of imports (even without counting the dif
ference between gold and paper I) of $46,183,924,
thus making a chango in the figures by a few
strokes .of the p?nt?>l nearly two hundred and fifty
million dollars. But the worst is still to oomo.
We wrote to the department more than two
months ago, oalling attention to this startling
change?, ;?nd received from' ata intelligent subordi
nate clerk M the head of th? proper'buroau, a
"correction" for the year 1861, makmg it read an
follows : ? ? . I
Ercons of Excess of

1861..$249,344,918 $335.650,163 $. $80.805,210
This, it will be seen, increased instead of dimin
ishing the diff?rence- between Secretary Chase
and Secretary McCullooh, aud mado tho total dis
crepancy, for four .years, nearly three hundred
million dollars. Th? explanation which accompa
nied the corrected volume, stated that a quarter's
imports had been omitted in the first compilation.
Whether this amended return is the true one, and
if so, what.reliapoe is to be placed on the returns
for subsequent years, wo submit to the impartial
reader. Wehavebeeu promised a revise for the
whole period beginning with 1861, and were wait
ing somewhat impatiently for it; but as th? delay
iu publication lus -brought down upon us no little
abuse from angry partisans Who have accused us
of suppressing the returns, we havo thought it
host to lay- till the facts within our reach bofore
the public, and leave the Treasury Department to
make its. own explanation and eottlojnent. The
disagreeing reports are official, duly signed, and
issued -under the highest authority in the de
partment.

Blood Horses?Planet.
The superiority of th? thorough-breds over all
other breeds of horses for all purposes?tho farm,
the road or the saddle?and their greater-freedom
from disease, is universally admitted. The late
war demonstrated that for army purposes they
were unequaled. Whether toiling at the eannou
or caisson, or scouring the country ou raids, or to
meet raiders, "blood would-tell." At the'break
ing out of hostilities no civilized country, oxcopt,
perhaps, England, had so .many blood horses as
the South, and this fact, gave the Confederate
cavalry a- vast advantage in' early period? of the
war before their horses had been killed out or re
duced by constant work aud famine. But on no
olasoof Southern property-?always excepting the
inevitable, the irrepressible nogrb?did the war
fall more heavily than upon the blood horses.
They were, slaughtered in battis, broken down
and killed by long and' constant marching and in
sufficient food,,and in tho midst of the alarms, un
certainties and engrossing anxieties of tho strife,
little attention oould be paid to roaring thom or
other atook. Consequently the return of peace
found the splendid breed almost'annihilated; and
of the few left, many were subsequently stolen and
o arrio d to all parts of the Union. We know of one
gentleman of South Carolina who rocoverod a
valuable racer which had been spirited away to
one of the Northwestern ata tos.
Virginia, the battle-field of th? war,, buffered
tho greatest loss in her fine breed of hordes. They
Buffered from all causes?battle, famine, theft.
Prompted by the laudable desire of repairing, i to
some extent, the ravages of war i? this particular,
the Mesar?. T. & T. W. Doswell determined to
keep i their celebrated stallions in Virginia this
year, though solicited by breoders elsewhere to
carry them to New York, Kentuoky, and other
States; and in view of the scarcity of money
amongst our' farmers, these patriotlo gentlemen
ooncludod to offer the advantages of the season at
less than half of tho price demanded by the own
ers of inferior horses elsewhere, Lexington is
standing in Kentucky at five hundred dollars, and
there are ten thoroughbred stallions standing in
the vicinity of New York at one hundred dollars
and over, the season. While tho Messrs. Doswell
would, by Bonding their horao Planet,abroad, find
ri? dlffioulty in trotting these prides, they are
f standing bim ab Bullflekl, the residence of Major
Thomas Dos well, noar Hanover Junction, at fifty
dollars, solely that our farmers may reap the ad
vantage. Referring to this; fact, a letter from
Davenport. Iowa, published in a recent number
ef the Turf. Field and Parra, says: "I would rath
er have within me tho soul of the author of
Planot's advertisement than be the owner of Lox
ington without it. The advertisement runs?'In
consideration of tbo scarcity of money in Virginia,
and to encourage the raising of blooded stock,
the season will be only fifty dollars.' This notico
is the most eloquent tribute to the blood horse I
ever read in suoh a paper. * * . * "
Tho.,horse, thus offered to. $ke .aorvieo of the
public is, no bbsoUro anjmal. wlthbnt* a record.
His porformaneos on tneMnrf.?prova fcfm to have
been one of the best racers thts country ever pro
duced. He bao probably been surpassed only by
Boston and a few of tho most distinguished on the
rofliof ?fame- ."TnpVo is," says) the Turf. Fiold,
and Farm, "no better nor no more fashionably
bred boree in this country." , Planot oame upon

his years to meet him, and after vanquishing all
that dared to test his speed and enduratvoe In his

the disadvantages of travel, climate, ?ko., con
quered most ox them with apparent ease. He is
perfect in symmetry, appearance, and motion, and
aa sound in ovory particular as on tho day on
wh'Ob ho was foaled.
We hopo our farmers will improve tho present
opportunity of obtaining colts from thia colebra
totf horse, as wo loam that his owners do not fool

A TRI-WEEKLY.
Many of our friends hare spoken and written to?
us concerning the publication of a Tri-Weekly. Wo
have thought of doing this for some timo, bula
owing to the general disarrangement of postal af
fairs, we have concluded not to do so until th?
commencement of next season.
On the first of September we will commence to
publish a country edition of The News, and it
shall bo our aim to mako the paper the beet ever
issued in this State. Wo intend introducing en
tirely new foaturcs In this enterprise; it will not
bo a nummary of the daily, but will be- completa?
and original in itself, and wo aro certain that it?
patrons will be as woll ploat-ad with it as ar?
our present patroDS ploased with tho daily.
