Tbe Supreme Court, in Delano against
tho Merchants' Mutual Insurance Com?
pany, from'the Supreme Court et Louis
iana, the question was upon tho autho?
rity of tbe Constitution of Louisiana to
render a contract void, because It was
based upon Confederate money ob its
consideration. Tbe court below found
that Delano bad tbe prior claim to a
certain fund, but that as the considera?
tion which established bis claim was
Confederate money, it failed, and tbe
insurance company, whose claim waB
subsequently, but based on a valid con?
sideration, was entitled to the fund.
This court says, in substance, that if tbe
jadgment below had deoided that the
contract underlying Delano's claim was
Void Irou: public pob'oy existing at the
time, there would have been no question
for r -visiou here; but as the judgment is
based upon a provision of tho Constitu?
tion of the Stute, framed after tho con?
tract was made, which declares all con?
tracts shall be adjudged void which are
founded upon consideration of Confede?
rate money, it Will have to be revised, as
having sustained a law ropngnant to that
clause of the Federal Constitution pro?
hibiting the States from making auy law
wbioh shall impair the obligation of
contracts..

"Chioaoo Bound to be Ahead."?
An amusing diversion wats created by a
tall, well-knit und rather rugged speci?
men of humanity, who stood gaziug at
the fire with the deepest interest. Every
now aud then he would take a vigorous
bito at a largo bunk of tobacco and chew
with an energy that knew no flagging,
but without taking bis eyes from the
fire, which appeared to fascinate him.
As tho flames made headway, he moved
uneasily, shifted his weight from one
foot to the other, and chewed with re?
newed animation. Each now building
that foil a prey to tho firo seemed to
cause him to experience the most
poignant despair. His glauce was not
so strongly marked by sympathy as by
anxiety. His sallow jaws scorned to
elongate with every fresh building that
weut down. His dress and appearance
did not betoken a man who had any
enormous amount of property at stake,
and tho general imprussion among those
who observed him was that his alarm
was caused by a prospeot of losing bis
situation. Presently, when tho flumes
eeemed as though they would eogulph
the whole city, ho turned bis pulo faco
from the names, and addressing a party
by his bide, exclaimed, with no less
pride than disgust: "Pahol it cau't be
done. The place ain't big enough! Tho
Chicago fire knocked this all to splinters.
Yes, it did, I tell you. I was born there,
and I ought to know. I tell you, sir,
Chicago is bound to bo ahead on this
tiro yet," and he walked away, his face
glowing with patriotic fervor and an ex?
pression of the most unbounded con?
tempt overspreading bis countenance
for the miserable failure that was certain
to attend all envious attempts of Uostou
to rival Chicago in the matter of fires.
A terrible incident of the Boston fire
took place at the furnishing store of
Hickman, on Washington street, where
the walls had been wrapt iu a deadly em?
brace by the flames, and bad beoome
weak and tottering through the intense
heat. At length tbey fell, and three
men were buried up to the shoulders
among the heavy fragments of brick and
stone. The terrible physical agony of
thoir cries of anguish which thoy suf?
fered, filled the frightened orowd with
horror, but at first no one advanced to
their succor. After a few momenta, two
or three men crossed tho street to where
a portion of the wall was still overhang?
ing tho Bpot where tho poor victims were
begging and bhrieking for help, and
tried by the utmost exertion of main
strength to pull and wrench thorn out of
the horrible vice, but these efforts ouly
mado groater thoir Bufferings, aud tho
bricks and debris were still falling at
every moment. Tho men relinquished
the perilous und fruitless risk, and re?
treated from the dangerous spot; nod
shortly afterwards, in frightful parox?
ysms of pain aud with cries that will
ring in the oars of many of the specta?
tors to thoir dying day, tho crushed
masses of humanity gave up the breath
of life, and wero a momout afterwards
buried by another crashing fall of the
wall. It Is known that thirty lives have
boon lost.
New York's accumulation of unpu?
nished murderers is tho subject of muoh
severe comment, and talk of Lyooh law
is rovived. Witnesses of the scene in
Pino street at the time of the arrest of
King for killing O'Neil, say a crowd
composed of well-dressed and intelligent
men was greatly inclined to Lynch the
prisoner, and that a ruse, by whioh King
was taken through an unoccupied build?
ing, was all that saved him from sum?
mary justioe. Even the staid and con?
servative Journal of Commerce has an
editorial headed "The Omen in Pine
street," in whioh tho spirit displayed by
tho orowd of brokers, merchants, and
other business men, is oonsiderod indi?
cative of a vigilance oommittee, or some
similar organization, at no distant day.

thai the Jaw of 1807, requiring eaoh now

?Ith day of lUuroh i i unload r>f the first
Monday iu December, will have to bo
re-enacted. ? It was repealed last B?S9ion
by a majority of three votes in tho

Dawes aud the aid of tbe Democratic!
members. The coming session contains
but fifty-five working days, of which tbi
first half would be fully required by the
Appropriations Committee if the esti?
mates were now ready so that the bills
oould be fully prepared in advance of the
meeting. But tlrero wi'l be unavoidable
delay in this particular, and the days of
the session before tho holiday adjourn?

are ninety-three bills on the House
docket aloue, whioh are special orders
and must come np, and all tho important

other Counties known to be Radical,
such an Gadsden and Deeatur, tbe vote
is also excessive. Besides, the lawless
arrest of County canvassers by United
States officials has stirred up a groat deal
of bud blood. The Radical sheets claim
n victory by a majority of 2,000. On
tho other hand, the Conservatives claim
that they have elected tbeGoveruor, aud
claim the Sonato by a majority of two,
