I do not know that there m moro lobby ing horo than at othor non ta of National Govomnionta, though it is fair to ausuino it, hh tho word itself it. of nativo American growth. Thcro may bo, doubtloss ia, jobbing in other capi tals, but it is less a matter of public notoriety. Washington is- a moro village as compared with tho groat Capitals of Enro?o; and everybody soon knows everybody's bosinosB. Boforo the war oven there was much jobbing in Congross. The public printing for years has boon considered a "fat" thing. Building forta and sliips, gotting contracts for fiuuiBhing rations, &c, al ways attracted money-loving citizens from overy section of tho Unicn. But all t is was mero child's play to tho jobs arising out of tho war. Innumer ablo fortunos woro mudo out of all hoi-Li of con tracts. Tho moro disburjing of eo much green back- attracts vast numbera of cormorants to this point.

Although tho city has grown to a very i-o.pectablo ai_o in littlo ovor hnlf a contury, still tho wondor to mo is that it has not made moro progress.

The population hero still consists only of tho various attaches of Uncle Sam's office, and the crowd of prolotarians, boarding and lodging houso koopors, and all tho varions othor ministors to tho wants of those officials. Governmont pap alone koopa Washington alive. There is groat ansie ty horo at proaont as to what Congress will do, and scarcely less as to what the President, will do. Thero are numerous pro grammes laid down by tho partisans of tho rival powers, and yon cannot go any wburo without hearing this momentous topic. "Will tho Proai dent back down ?" "Will Congross imponch him?" "Will tho Sonato confirm tho rrosklont's appoint ments?" "If thero is a radical President pro tem. will all tho Department clorks bo turnodout'/" otc., otc.

Tin? Statute or limitations Suspended I?y tito Wor, ?Sec. Wo learn from tho Baltimore Sun, of Friday, that an important decision has just boon rendered in the Circuit Court ol' tho United States for Maa land, by Judgo Giles, in tho caso of tho Jackson LiHuranco Company, of Memphis, Tonn., against James A. Stswah... This was an action on a bill of exchange drawn in Memphis, in February. 18(51, at sixty days, on Jamos A. -towart, payable at tho Farmors and Flantors' Bank in Baltimore, and nccoptod by Stewart, but protested for oon-payinont April 28, 18(51. Flea, statute of limitations. Replications-1st. That war existed when tho cause of action accrued, and that turco years had not elapsed botweon tho closo of tho war and tho commoncomont of the suit. 2d. That tho Presi dent of the United States declared war against Touncsseo by his proclamation of August 16, 1861, which was in forco nut ii. by tho proclamation of the President, June 13, l8.., Tonncssco was re stored to tho Union, and thal tho intervals of timo which oliipsod from the maturity of the bill to tho bee; inning of tho war, and from tbo closo of tho war to tho commencement of this suit, did not to gether amount to throo years. To thcBO replications a gonoral demurror waB filed by defendant. , - Aftor full argument, tho court, Judgo Giles, de cided as follows : Unquestionably in this caso lexfori prevails, and not ter. ioci contrains ; boneo the Court will apply tho law of Maryland, which requires suits to bo brought within throo yoars. 1 Md. Cons, art. 57, sec. 1 and 2. In this law thoroaro certain specified exceptions provided for; but it is a mistako to Bupposo that exceptions may not ariso other than thoso mon tionod in the statute. Tho law always sdpposes tho existence of a party in being capable of suing; and if. when the cause of action accruos, thero i_ no such party capable of suing, limitations do not begin to run until auch a p_rty comeB into being. Uenoo, if war had oxistod at tho timo this causo of action accrued, limitations would not have begun to run against plaintiffs claim until tho war ended. On tho 7th of -ootoiubor, 18G1, this court de cided that tho President of the United States had the right by proclamation to recognize tho exist ence of a state of war; and that tho war, from and aftor the dato of such proclamation, oxistod botweon tho Statos mentioned in the proclamation and thereat of the United States. Also, that tho late war when so declared and recognized by tho President 's proclamation, becamo a civil rear, and imponed upon both bolligoronts all tho rights and consequonccs of such a war. This was ono of tho earliest decisions in regard to our late civil war. and tho principles then enunciated have ainco been fully confirmed by tho Sup emo Court of tho United States in tho Prize Cases, 2 Black, G35. Tho justices of that court were unanimous as to all tho consoquonces which resulted from a state of civil war; but tho throo dissenting judges woro of opinion that the war bogan only after the pro clamation of the President of August 10th, 18.1, Easscd iu purauanco of power conferred upon him y tho act of July 13th, 1861. As rogard&J-io State of Tennessee, thoro can bo no doubt that war oxistod in consequence of tho proclamation of tbo Fresidont of August 16th, 18(51, and not before, as that State was not included iu tho previous proclamation. It is a well -Ottlod principio that contracts.mado before war are only suspended by tho war, whereas contracts made daring the war aro void. This principio is fully recognized by the Supreme Court in rogard to our late civil war. In ancient timoB private proporty of alien ono miea, and dobts ot every kind, woro confiscated to tho State. Happily all this has bcon changed in modem timos, and now, while contracts mado during war between alien enemies aro absolutely void, Doing against public policy, private interests oro pro tected, and bona Jide contracta mado bolero tho breaking out of a wa., aro suspended during its cxistoncc, but revive at its termination. To tho honor of ?lie United Stalos and _tro.it Britain bn it .aid that the io rights have always bcon respected by them. It has boen repeatedly docided hy both State and Federal Courts that whero, by a legislativo enact ment, partios aro provonted from prosecuting thou? claims, the interval during which such pro voiitiurt lastB is not to bo counted nu part of tho time allowed by tho statute of limitations. Now tho powor to ranko war and poaco ia, by the Con stitution of tho United Staion, delegated exclu sively to the Fodoral Govermont; ana aa during tho war tho plaintiff, being a corporation of the State of Tonno.soo, had no right to bring mut against the defendant, who waa n citizen of Mary land, tin? Maryland statute of limitations was sus pended during such period. The gonoral rulo un questionably is, that whoro tho utut ute of limita tion has once begun to run, no aubsoquent disabili ty will nrrost it. But we have already Boen that a legislative enact ment (suspends the miming of tho ??ututo, and tho samo result follows from the declaration of war by tho supremo powor of tho land. For it is a well rccognv-od principio of tho law of nations that tho right of n creditor to suo for the rocovery of his debt is not extinguished by tho war; it is only sus pended during tho war, and rovivos in full forco on the restoration of peace. A war, thon, having cortainly oxistod botweon Tonneuooo and too Fede ral Government, from tho President, proclama tion of August luth, 1861, and which, although a civil war, yot, according to tho docision of tho Supremo Court in tho prizo cases, carriod with it all tho consuquoiicos and disabilities of a public war, it follows, therefore, that tho plaintiff hi this caso could havo institutod no proceedings in this Court until poaco was proclaimed by the 1'resi dent- proclamation of Juno 13th, 18.6. This uuspo-sion, being by tho oxoroiso of the paramount authority of tho Government, cannot bo hold to work a forfeiture of tho plaintiff's cause of action, but that his right to sue, mis ponded by the war, rovivod whon it coasod. And as it has not boon three yoars from tho maturity of the causo of action to tho commencement of tho wai*, and from th? termination of tho war to tho commencement of this suit, this suit is not barred oy limitations, and tho doinuror is, thoro fore, overruled. The caso lining thon, by agreement, submit'ed to tho court, judgment was givon for tho full amount of tho plaintiff's claim, together with in terest from tho 26th of April, 1861, to tho 16th of August, 18-1, and from tho 13th ot Juno, 18.-5. to date; no interest boing allowed from tho timo dur ing which the war lasted.
