The Inter-Ocean, of Chicago, pub
lishes a report that, during the last fort
night, secret agents of the French Gov
ernment liavo arrived In that city, and
"secretly contracted" with a few largo
firms for Immense quantities of army
supplies. Similar agents, Bays the Inter-Ocean,
havo been in a few other
large cities in this country and In Can
ada, and "enough food has beeu order
ed to sustain a large ariuy during a long
campaign." The presence of these
agents In this country, which Is "known
to but few in France and to fewer here,"
Is considered "significant, In view of
the condition of affairs In Western Eu
rope." Married Women In Building Societies
IMrOnTAKT LEQAL DECISION.
Below will be found a Btatement of a
case Involving tho contract-making
capacity and liability of a married wo
man, and as the case bad Us origin in a
loan made by a Building aud Loan
Association to a married woman, It In
volved also questlous of special Interest
to such societies. The decision of the
Supreme Court is to tho effect that tho
common law disability of a married
woman to make a valid contract was
only removed to a limited extent by the
Married Woman's Act of 1849; that
she now has no powers to make con
tracts and Incur liabilities, except such
as are expressly conferred by statute ;
that tho decisions of the court limit the
exceptions to common law disabilities
ttrlclly to the purposes of her protec
tion, and sot loosely so as to expand
her contract capacity and liability, aud
that the contract to pay premiums, In
terest and fines, which a borrower
makes with a building aud lean associ
ation is not such an exception. The
conclusion is, therefore, that a married
woman Is Incapable of entering into a
contract with a building and loan asso
ciation to pay premiums, interest and
fines Is Incapable during marriage of
assuming the obligations Incident to her
becoming a borrowing member of a
building and loan association. The
court further decides that the act which
declares that premiums, fines and In
terest ta loans shall not be deemed
usurious, refers only to those, paid or to
be paid by members of the association ;
that It was Intended only to regulate
the dealings between them and the as
sociation and not between Itandthose
who ara not members, or who aro In
capable of acquiring, membership. The
decision will probably affect only a
limited number of loans madi by build
ing and loan associations, and those cot
seriously, but It will serve as a useful
guide to bulMIng society managers In
their future dealings with married wo
men who desire to borrow money. It
should bo remembered that the- soolety
can recover under this decision tbo
amount actually loaned, with six per
cent. Interest, so that the loss, If any,
will simply be of profit, which It might
have obtained pver and above six per
cent. Interest, Tho decision does not
touch upon nor affect the question of
the right of. married women, conferred
Vpon tuera In. 1871, to hold the stock of'
fhe afioelttloM as lnreitcis; it deals
II. T. MORTUISIKO,
only with the question of the contract
making powor of married women who
deslro to borrow money under tlio rules
of tho association as to premiums, Cries,
to. It declaies that married women
do not possess this powor :

AYii.sliiugton Letter.
From onr Special Correspondent.
Wasalnglon, D. C, Jn'y II, ;7.
This year Is one of great changes at
tho capital. Politics appear to be
changing; newspapers face about with
out n moment's warning ; society un
dergoes continual changes, nnd even
foreign affairs evince n whiffling dispos
ition. Sir Edward Thornton and his
family went to England several months
since, and It Is quite doubtful If ho re
turns here as British Minister, as he Is
entitled to promotion In his, profession,
nnd will probably be sent to a European
court before fall. Lady Thornton Is a
benevolent lady, very highly esteemed
by thoso who know her on this side of
tho water. Here is an Instance ot her
genuine kind-heartedness and thought
ful consideration : near by the British
legation Is n small Episcopal church,
blinrt of funds nnd far lrom rich, and to
It Lady Thornton always sent flowers
for iU decoration on festivals, and last
Christmas week she sent rcfieshments
to the Indies who were engaged In trim
mlLg tho church with evergreens f,ir
the holidays. During the nbsenco of
tho English Minister, the lion, F. R.
Plunkett, secretary of the llrlllsh lega
tion, takes rhnrgo of Its affairs. IIo
has been promoted to the DiltWi lega
tion at St. Petersburg, and will ball with
his wife (a Philadelphia lady) next
week. Mrs. Plunkett is strikingly
lmndfome, of tho sparkling brunette
style of beauty. She was very notice
able In the Diplomatic, gallery during
the counting of the Electoral vote in Iho
House of Representatives last winter,
iiecause sue wore a lint trimmed with a
bright cardinal red veil, which sho
wound about her throat nnd allowed to
float over her shoulders. Mrs. Fassett,
the popular artist, who Is engaged at
present upon the painting of the Elec
toral Commission, will introduce tills
lady conspicuously. The scene of the
picture Is taken while Mr. Evarts Is
speuKitig, muaing mm, ot course, ii.
central figure. This picture will doubt
less go into hlstoly occupyini: nn Im
portant position, and will probably
make thu artist's fortuno as it is of an
enormous size, and will be purchased
by the Government at her own figure.
A paragraph that has lately gone the
rounds ot the press concerning Scc'y
Scliurz, ought to tecelve souio modifica
tion, if not absolute denial. It was to
tho effect that he Is hostile to the em
ployment of women In his depattment.
On the contrary, Mr. Scliurz lias given
directions to tho heads of bureaus and
chiefs cf divisions iu the Interior De
partment, to pay tho clerks according
to the quality of the work they have
performedwlth no distinction on account
of sex the character of I he work to be
taken Into consideration rather than
the fact that It is done by males or fe
males. Probably the repoit blurted
from tho fact that a recent dismissal
from the Pension olllce comprised 10
women and one man, and that men
were appointed to fill fhe vacant places
ot the nineteen women clerks. This
was done, however, because the sub
ject matter of tho letters to be examin
ed in that particular division were un
lit fur ladies perusal, and the Commis
sioner of Pensions himself re'omnieiid
ed that no women should be employed
upon the work. The douuiuR'its to be
read and copied consisted of physicians
certlliefiles regarding wounds, diseases,
&c. This reason is not a sulllcient oiih
to satisfy several of t lie discharged, who
talk about false delicacy, straining at a
gnat, &c., but It goes to show that in
reality Mr Scliurz exhibited his respect
fur the sex by his courau
During the absence of tho President
and family ou their eastern trip their
servants, horses, and necessary effects
were removed to their summer residence
at Soldiers' Home, wjieru they went dl
reclly upcu their arrival here.
A large delegation of colored men
visited the President last week, for the
purposo of Insisting upon further recog
nition of their race in the dUtrlbutlon
of Federal appointments of South Car
olina. They argued that appointment)
made heretofore have bee.i of malattoes
and not of the genuine representative
ot the African race.
