From the Washington Star.
The Lincoln Association of this city
having applied to Gen. U. S. Grant
for permission to paint his portrait on
their banner with that of President
Lincoln, the Secretary of the asso-
ciation, Mr. Samuel E. Jones, yester-
day received a letter from Gen. Grant,
stating, '•Your.lettei: of the 21st inst..
asked my consent to tlieplacinar of my
picture upon the banner of the Lincoln
Association, is at hand, and in reply I
will say that if you are determined to
have the image of any living persoe on
your banner 1 can offer no objection.
It would seem to be a rule, or rather
suggests itself to *my judgment, for
such banner to take the portraits of
the dead; but that is a matter for your
own judgment. Mr. F. F. Wood, Geu.
Grant's secretary, adds a postscript to
the letter, faying : " The General has
not yet sufficiently recovered to be
able to write with ease, and there thro
fore does not sign this note personally.

could not stands and confessedly t he
contract was made in South Carolina,
the public law of which upon the sub4
ject of interest at the time of the
makiugof the note permitted auy
rate agreed .upon in writing. 2. As
alnatfer of fact, wo suppose there can
be no doubt that the parties contrac-
ted with reference to the South Caro
Him law. It is urged, however, that
this ride of tho lex loci is not univer-
sal ; that it is changed iu cases where
the parties themselves contract with
reference to the laws of some particu-
lar State other than that in which the
contract was made. That is true.
The general purpose of courts is to
enforcb ccntr&ots according to the
intent of the parties, and if they make
a contract in South Carolina expressly
or clearly with reference to North
Carolina law, I know no reason why
our courts, in carrying out the doc-
trine of comity, would not apply the
North Carolina 'law to it, except a$ to
the way stated by Chancellor Kent
(2 Kent, 458). But we do not think
it follows that the single tact of the
note being payable in North Carolina
affords conclusive proof that the par-
ties to it did so contract. That is a
question of fact which may be re-
butted.

rights of ticket holders.
The following is a recant decision
in the Supreme Court of -Missouri;
Phuiiiiit' purchased from the station
agent of live defendant company at A
a ticket for pxsi-ago to B, at which
point i'.ie agent assured her the train
would stop; but the conductor of the
train, which was a through express
to C, refused to stop at B, and carried
plaintiff through to C, where she was
obliged to procure a ear:iage for B,
and upon her a ;ival found her daugh-
ter, whom she came to -sec, dead.
Held, that the company is responsible
for the mistake or misdirection of the
station agent, and not for the refusal
of the conductor. The measure of
damages is the sum paid to return to
B, the value of her time and incon-
venience she sufi'eied.
FIXDEIt :s KIGIITS.
A curious case as to the rights of
the iinder of lost property, whose
owner is unknown, is reported from
Rhode Island. The plaiutiff bought
an old safe and offered to *>cll it to the
defendant. The defendant would not
buy it, but agreed to ta*e it and sell
itif-bccould.' Using it himself in the
meantime, while it was thus in his
possession, he found a role of bank
bills inside the lining. No one knew
to whom they belonged. The defen-
dant, therefore, concluded to keep
them. The plaintiff, on learning of
the discovery of the money, demanded
the return of the safe just p.« it was
wheu delivered. The defendaut re-
turn it, but without the bank bills;
i whereupon the plaintiff sued for their
value as money found. The Supreme
Court held that the tinder was en-
t'tled to retain the property as against
tbe party who put the safe into his
hands for gale; and the authorities
generally maintain the right of the
finder, in this class of oases, as against
all persons except the real owner.

The following is an extract of a
soeech delivered by General A. L.
ChetlainT oi Chicago, at the soldiers
and sailors' reunion: "Twenty-two
years ago, the 15ih day of last April,
a niee ing was held in this eorut-room
by the citizens of Galen.", in re-
sponse to a call by the Chief Magis-
trate of the Nation for volunteers.
Fo't SumptOrftfu* been fired upon and
a rebolron had been inaugurated by
the South, and volunteers had been
called for to suppress that rebellion.
Au adjourned and larger meeting was
held next evening. At that destc sat
a citizen of your town, who presided
over the meeting. He wr.s but little
known, even by his fellow townsmen,
although he had served with distinc-
tion in the Mexican war and in the
Indian war in Florida. He presided
with modes.v and dignity. Within a
few years thereafter he became not
only a magnificent soldier, but the
wise Statesman, the incorruptible
patriot, and the Chief Magistrate of
this Nation he had done so much to
save. You all know 1 refer to your
former townsman, General U. S.
Grant. Volunteers for three months'
service were called for, and thirty
names were at once enrolled. 1 have
the honor of having been the first one
to enlist. The next day a sufficient
number was recruited in this city and
county to ill! a company. This com-
pany of volunteers was the first one
raised in the No.'th-west—\ve*t of
Chicago and north of tho Illinois
ltiver. In the work of recrui ing, Gen-
eral Grant, my friend General homier,
now present, and the lamented Gen-
eral Rawlins rendered eliectiv? service.
The captaincy of the company was
offe. ed to Captain G rant. 1 le declined
on the ground that having been a cap-
tain iu the regular aimv lie ought to
have something better. The cap-
taincy was given to nu, and nothing
in my army evpclcace has ever af-
forded me more pleasure than t'mt of
having been a captain for a short time
of that splendid body of men. That
company was called the 'Jo Daviess
Guards,' and became a pari, of the
Twelfth Regiment, Illinois Infantry.
After ilie three months' service, the
compa ly re-en'istcd for three years in
greater number than any other com-
pany in the regiment, and when the
three years had expired, and the tedi-
ous war was still going on, it reorgan-
