Amncdly and Pardon.^
Tho 13th section or tuo Aot of Jul.\ 17,18?.2, defin

Wabhinoton, Novombor 17, 18GC-Littlo Tom
Moori; long ago cnllod this tho City of Mag
niflcout Distances. If ho woro to re-visit our
National Capital ho would call it a city of mag
nificent jobbing. 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. Tho public landa, tho bountios, tho Patout
Ofllco, tho vast amount of Govornment property of
o very deacription, occurnulaletl through tho four
years of war, and now to bo disposed of, as well
as a hundred other consideration1?, nil otTor bo
many inducomonts for advonturors, speculators
and harpioB of ovory sort, to eongrogato within the
charmod prccinctB of tho capital.
Tho several departments omploy armies of clerks,
and aspiring ladies, of strong minds and indiffer
ent morals, crowd hithor from far nndwidc, smil
ing their sweotest, and besieging their "inilucn
tial" fiionds, till thoy overcome tho obduracy of
the most stoUd M. C, anda vacancy must bo cre
ated, if I horo bo none. It is .aid that this ?.tato of
things is not tho most conducive tp n healthy ululo
of niornl?. I havo not boon hero yet long enough
mysolf to bo entitled to an opinion, bat if there is
any truth in old Latatob _ facial theories, I fully
ondorso tho current opinion on this Bubjecfc.
Everybody is on tho gui vive for tho approaching
session of CongreaB. It is tho ono groat epoch of
Washington life. Romovo the capital to-morrow,
and tho placo will Boon rovcrt to its pr?stino con
dition of miasmatic desolation. 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. Indians and buf
faloes roumod over tho sites of some of tho mam
moth cities of tho West whon Proaident Monuoe
was holding hie ioyees hero, and now thoy ore
great contros of population, oommerco, manufac
turo, and oven of culturo, wkilo "Washington still
depends* for its very life on tho presenco of the
Government and ita expensive machinery. 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. I need not toll you that many a wager is
ponding on these ?sbuo;).
Thor, aro fow, if any, Members of Congross
horo as yot, but they havo noavly all accurod their
places of abodo, and somo of them will ?non bo
coming in, particularly such as have Commillco
work.
But I will closo now. This is a preliminary lot
tor. In my next I shall try to give you somo iiowb.

IMPOI-T-J-T DECISION.
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.
