CONTRACTS IN CONFEDERATE MONEY. Since tbe conclusion of tho war many diffi culties hare arisen in tho Southern States from the want of an established rule in re- gard to the responsibilities incurred under i contracts made during tho progress of the Rebellion which stipulated for the payment of dollars that were mutually understood to mean dollars of Confederate money. The most important questions involved in these disputes were definitely settled yesterday by the opinion of the Supremo Court of the j United States in the case of Thorington vs. j Smith Sc Hartley, which was delivered by Chief Justice Chase, and as it was deemed j necessary to give a definition of the legat Status of the Confederate Government, this , ' opinion possesses national interest and iiu- j portance. The leading points in issue were: 1. Can a contract for the payment of Confederate money, made during the ltebellion by parties j ' residing within tho Confederate Slates, be enforced in the United States courts ? 2. Can evidence be adduced to prove that a . written contract requiring the payment of j dollars meant anything else than lawful dollars? The principle has heretofore been enunciated that none of the stipulations of contracts made to aid the Kebellion can be enforced in American courts, and it is now reaffirmed. ' One of the parties to this suit seems to have relied upon such an extension of this principle as would have led to the con clusion that, inasmuch as the Confederate notes were issued for the treasonable purpose of aiding an insurrection or war against i the United States, any transac tions based on the use of such a currency were necessarily void and inoperative. The Court, however, holds that, inasmuch as an ordinary business transaction did not involve any act of hostility to tho Government, it must be judged by its merits; and that, as the parties living within the lines of the Re bellion were compelled to xise the currency forced into general circulation in their midst, the business transactions arising from and based on this necessity deserve legal recogni tion and protection. An elaborate discussion of the condition of affairs in the Southern States during the dominance of Jeff. Davis results in the con clusion that Confederate "currency must be regarded in courts of law in the same light as if it had been issued by a bona fide govern -' ment temporarily occupying' a part of he territory of the United States;" and that con tracts requiring the payment of Confederate currency "should be refused in the courts of the United States, after the restoration of peace, to the extent of their justbligation." The Confederate government is judicially denned to be a temporary "government of paramount force," similar in its legal bear ings to the government established at Cas tine, in Maine, when it fell into the posses sion of the British forces during the War of 1812, or the government established at Tain pico, Mexico, when it fell into the possession of American troops during the Mexican war. The doctrine is announced that, while this . supremacy of tho Confederate government did not justify acts of hostility to the United States, "it made civil obedience to its autho- . rity not only a necessity but a duty. With- - out such obedience, civil ordor was impossi ble; " and that, therefore, citizens in agreeing to buy or sell for a given sum of Confederate , money committed an act which was not n itself unlawful, and which cannot be treated as a nullity by the courts of the reconstructed Union. The second question at issue was decided in a similar spirit. It was decided that evi dence coidd be properly offered to prove the meaning of tho word "dollars," used by the parties to this contract. This cannot bo doue under all circumstanoes, for tho Judgo held that "a contract to pay dollars made between citizens of any State of the Union maintain ing its constitutional relations with the Gov ernment, is a contract to pay lawful money of the United States, and can not be modified or explained by parol evidence." But due allowauoe must be made for the peculiar circumstances exist ing in the South. As the word dollar had acquired a meaning which, while neither legal nor correct, was' none tho less actual, it is contended 'that the ends of substantial jus tice can be attained by the production of evi dence to prove what this meaning was. Judge Chase holds that Confederate money hadno in trinsic value, and that it never can have, but that it nevertheless possessed "a sufficiently definite relation to gold and silver, the univer sal measures of value, so that it was always easv to ascertain how much gold and silver was tho real equivalent of a sum expressed in thi3 currency." Tho point to bo aimed at in estimating the liabilities of an unfulfilled contract, in which tho parties agreed to make a payment in Confederate money, is to asoer- - tain the actual value of these notes at the time and place of tho contract, in lawful money of the United States, and to render a judgment bond on such valuation. ' Parties in the South who aro inclined to act justly will havo no cause to complain of this decibion. It will prevent men from pro ... titiug by events, over which they had po con . trul, aud,it will give to obligations entered x- into daring the war a' construct ion which wil correspond as closely as possible with the in tentions and expectations of the ywUftCtiurj PROTECTION FROM FIRE AT THE THEATRES. The burning of a theatre, or indoed of any place of popular assembly, while full of peo ple, is a calamity so.terriblo even in contem plation, that anything short of the most amp'e preparations for the extinguishment of fire, and the most extreme caution in the arrangement of the'various gas jets and tho heating apparatus, so as to provide as fur as possible for every emergency, is criminal on the part of the authorities and tbe owners of the buildings. From tho manner in which places of amusement are constructed, a fire must necessarily spread with groat rapidity if it once gets fairly started, and from the grcot number of exposed lights that are in use in such establishments, particularly be hind tho scenes, they are peculiarly liablo lo accidents. It is gratifying to have reliable information tliat in all of our leading theatres tho most ample arrangements have been made not only to guard against danger in the first place, but to secure tho prompt extinguishment of tho flames in case thoy should bocomo started through one of those unforeseen accidents agaiust which no foresight can provide. Yes terday the Building Inspectors made their annual visit to tho Academy of Music and the Chesnut, Walnut, Arch, and American Thfotres, to see that the law with respect to safeguards against fife and ample means of egress for the audience were complied with. At all of the theatres were found one or more fire plugs with hose attached of sufficient length to reach to all parts of the house. The stage lights were covered wilh wire gauze, and in all except tho American heaters were in use, so that any danger from stoves was obviated. The inspectors ordered the stoves in the dressing-rooms of tho American to be pro vided with zinc or sheet-iron cases, and they might have gone a step further with propri ety, and ordered all the lights behind the scenes in all the theatres to be covered with gauze. In u matter of this kind it is always best to err on the side of excessive caul ion. At the Academy of Music the provisions in case of live were found to bo most ample. A powerful steam engine is always in readiness to throw water to any part of the building, and the employes are organized into a fire brigade, with all tho necessary axos, buckets, and plenty of hose for the efficient perform ance of their duty in case of an alarm. The inspectors found that at all the establish ments naniod tho means of egress were as ample as it was possible to provide, and that under any ordinary circumstances an audience ought to be able, to escape in safety. In this connection it may not be amiss to disabuse tho public mind of a wrong impres sion as to the combustible nature of theatri cal sceaery, which is not by any means as great as is commonly supposed. . The canvas upon which tho scenery is painted is heavily sized, and the colors, most of them metallic, are mixed with glue. The consequence is that tho scenery will not blaze but rather crumble away if it is brought in contact with tho flames. Tho frames upon which tho can vas is stretched being of wood, are, of course, combustible, and thero are always so many things laying about behind tho scenes, and so many careless people about, that the greatest danger is in this part of tho house. But the scenery itself, which is generally looked upon as particularly exposed to ignition, is scarcely an appreciable cause for fear. All the appliances that can be devised. however, will rfot prevent conflagrations if careless people are not well looked after, and tho managers of the theatres ought to have all their employes, actors, carpenters, ushers, and everybody, well drilled in tho manage ment of the apparatus provided, and assigned regular posts which they will be expected to take in case of alarm. A little good disci pline in a matter of this kind will not only ensure caution, but it will aid very materially in extinguishing a fire if one should happen to break out. SPECIAL.
