':'t tt.u.j d,..,.. tor the Distrrct of Louisiana ; bur. the two casea weeosidrea together, and i one decision rendered covering both s wriU of error. , Mr: Justice Strong de livered the opinion of the Court. The action was bro.agU.tin the Circuit Court of Louisiana by ther Planters- Bank, ot .Tennessee against the Union Bank of Louisianavto recover an alleged balance of account. The Plaintiff ob- tained a ju-dgment in the Circuit Court, but the-case wa removed to the Su- prerae Cooirt by writs of error sued out by both parties. ' The record shows that some time prior to September, 1803, the Plaintiff and ...Jwn iau uuiiuciciat ueaiingi ,.with0each- pther, of the olowiug pa- tart Tbe -Pfelntiff had remitted tor the Defendant large sums of Confederate treasury notes, and had also forwarded drafts and other claims for collection, it being understood between them that the drafts and claims thus forwarded were payable only in Confederate currency, and ail collections made on account of the Plaintiff, were made in that curren. 'ct, with the knowledge and authority of the P.aintiff. Thus the balance in favor of the Piaintiff was made up. About these facts there was no contro versy. ; I One .of the defences set up at the. trial was an alleged payment by the Defend ant to the military authorities of the United States, in military possession of New Orleans. On. the 17th of August, 1863, an order was issued by Major General Banks, "requiring the several banks and banking associations of New Orleans to pay over without delay to the Chief Quartermaster of the army or to such officer of his department as he might designate, all moneys in their posses sion belonging tu,pr standing upon their books to the credit of any corporation, association, or pretended government in hostility to the United States, and all moneys belonging to, or standing on their books to the credit of, any person registered as an enemy of the United States, or engaged in any manner in the military, naval, or civil service of the so called Confederate States.or who should, have been or who might thereafter be convicted of rendeiing any aid or com fort to the enemies of the United States. The order declared that such funds wouldbe held and accounted for by the Quarter Master's department, subject to the future adjudication of the govern ment of the United States. Under this order the Defendant, as the evidence tended to show, on the 10th day of Sep tember, 18G3, paid to the acting Quarter Master the balance standing to the Plaintiff's credit on their books, bein the, whole balance due. The payment was jaade in Confederate notes, and the Quarter Master accepted them in dis charge of the balance. Whether this was a satisfaction of the claim of the Plaintiff upon the Defendant is a con tr'oling question m the case. The Circuit Court instructed the juiy that it was not because payment was mde to the Quarter-Master in Confederate notes, which theCotirt was of opinion he bad no au tbQfifjjtp receive, tnough holding that thftfiiailUfcry authorities , thus exacting payftietvi were invested with all the rlgfrts of a creditor." ' The following is the language of the Supreme Court on ihis statement of the cmH "i- iJ!'-"'''! JS' t. ' " . "It.might be'difficult to maintain, i.' the military authorities, were clothed 'with the rights of creditors, that is, if they had succeeded to the position and title of the plaintiffs, that they could not determine what funds they would receive in payment of the balance on the defendant's books to the credit" of the nlaintiff. It is not perceived why the could not accept Confederate notes in discharge ot a aeDt,, wuicu uau ,uc- romp Hue to them. JJUl a crave uuesuuu M hWK OI T.QIS. UiU.

It was made, as we c .. tt, 17th nf Ancrmt. 1863. torce8 - jt had been captured more than fifteen months beiore that time, and .!n Hen or attempt .izj property "Ha- grante bello," nor was it seizure for im- mediate usfr of the army. It was simT ply an attempt to confi scate Pe property which, though it may be sup ;ectetj to confiscation by legislative au-- thority, is, according to the modern law of nations, exempt from capture as bootv of-war. Still, as the war had not ceased,' though it was not flagrant in di8'trict nd a3 General Banks was .. .nnimand of the district, it must e conceded that he had power to do all that tne laws oi warperniiiwu.c. tar as he was restrained vj me picuu faith of the government, or by the effect of congressional legislation. A pledge, however had been given that rights of DroDertv should be respected. When the city was surrendered to the army under General Butler, a proclamation was is-ued, dated May 1, 1372, one flnnsp nf -which was as follows : "All me nguis oipujw ua. will be hela inviolate, subject only to the aws of tho United state?." This, a9 wa3 remarked in the case of The Venice, 2 Wall., 258, "only reiterated the rules established by the legislative atd executive action of the national government in respect to the portions of the Statea in insurrection, occupied and " ...J : t: tj!Mtj h. inat aClIOU, It was saiu, luunaicu Dolicv of the covernment to be, not to regard districts occupied and coniroueu "... . w . . . i .i bv national troops as in actual insurrec tion, or their inhabitants as subject, in most respects, to treatment as enemies." While admitting that private proper- tv in New Orleans, belonging to the enemics of the United States' remained after Butler's proclamation, suhject to connscatunywH - booty ot war, the Uourt hoicts mat con fiscation waV possible only to the extent and in the manner provided by the Acts ' of Congress. The confis cation Acts, passed in August, 1861 an(1 Ju,y 18G2' P-ribed the maDDer ln wn,cn ai0De tCODDS,:auoB could be made- These Acts designated Government agents for seizing enemies' property, and they directed the mode of procedure for its condemnation iu the Courts. "No authority was given to a military commandant, as such, to effect ""J vv"j"-j-- """,v' v, the Acts was the property of a banking institution made confiscable. And it is by no means to be -admitted that a conquering power may compel private debtors to pay their debts to itself, and that such payments extin guish the claims of the original cred itors.1' " For this reason, Gen. Banks' order is pronounced wholly invalid, and of course the payment to the Quarter Mas ter by the Union ( Bank did not satisfy the debt. It was also assigned for arror by the , , Defendant that the Court allowed the Plaintiff to withdraw a remittitur en tered by them of part of a verdict ob tained on a former trial ot the case. As a new trial was granted, it is contended that the remittitur had the effect ot a retraxit. As it was entered after judg ment, such might have been its effect if the judgment had not been set aside, but such cannot be its operation now. The Defendant asked the Court to charge the jury, that if they found the balance of account sued for, was com posed wholly or in part of direct remit tances from the Plaintiff to the Defen dant of Confederate treasury notes, and ot collections of drafts payable and paid in such notes, and if they found the banks were necessary instruments of the Confederate Government for putting its issues of Confederate notes in circulation and forcing them upon the country, and that the Plaintiff as one of the banks, willingly lent itself as an instrument of that Government, then the Plaintiff could not recover 6uch amount of the balance thus composed of treasury notes and collections. The Court refused to charge as requested. The only, relevanc question presented by the point raised is, whether Confederate treasury notes had and received by the Defendant for the use of the Plaintiff, were a suffi cient consideration of a promise, express or implied, of anything. A promise to pay in Confederate notes, in consideration of the leceipt of such notes and drafts, cannot be considered & nudum pactum or an illegal contract. See Thorington vs Smith. The Circuit Court ought not to have charged that no "action w ?ula lie for the proceeds ot the sales of , Confederate bonds which had been Lent by the Plaintiff to the DefendantJfor sale, and which had beea sold by them, though the proceeds had been carried to the credit of the Plaintiff and made a part of the accounts. It may be that no action would lie against a purchaser of the.bonds or against the Defendant on any engagement to sell. Such a contract would have been illegal. . But when the illegal, transaction has been consum mated; when no Court has been called upon to give aid to it ; when the pro ceeds of the sale have been actually J received, and received in that which law recognizes as having had value; and when they have been carried to the credit of the Plaintiff, .the case is differ ent. The Court is not then asked to enforce an illegal . contract. It is enough that the Defendant has in hand a thing of value that beloDgs to the Plaintiff." An illegal contract will not be executed by the Courts, but when executed by the parties them selves, and the illegal object acconv- plished, the thing which was the price of it may be a legal Consideration be- lwopn thp nnrtipa. and the CoUl't Will not unravel the transaction to discover its origin:" Falkney tw Reynous, 4 Burrows, 2,069: Petrie vs. Hanuay, 3 Tenn 4lQ Ex.parte Bulmer,13 Ves.316, goes perhaps farther than can now be sustained. Faikney vs. Reynous, and petrie vs. Hannay may have .been over- ruled in England, but the doctrine a rted 5 them has beea approved by t A ' me supreme wmii.. Armstrong vs Toler, 11 Wheat., 253; McBlair vs. Gibbs, 17 How., 236; Brooks vs. Mar tin, 2 Wall., 70 ; Lestapies as. Iagra ham, 5 BarsTl : Farmer vs. Russell, 1 Bos. & Pull. 205. ' None of the exceptions taken by the Defendant are sustained. There was one assignment of error by the Plaintiff. The Court was usked to charge that if the Jury should find from the evidence that the Defendant re ceived Confederate currency on behalf of the Plaintiff, and entered it to the credit of the Plaintiff on the books, ot the bank, and used it, in their general business, the Defendant thereby became the debtor of the Plaintiff, and that the measure of the indebtedness was the value of the Conlederiite cunency in the lawful money of the United States, at Jthe time th(J credit wa3 entered and the collections made This the Court declined to do, but charged that the measure ot indebted- vn?S3 lor receipts, or collections, made by the Defendant in Confederate currency, and used by them iu their general busi ness, was the value of such currency at the date of demand of payment made by the Plaintiff, and not at the date it was received and used by the Defendant in their business. This view of the Circuit Court is sus- debtor to its depositor bv its receipt of , .. , , " , . , money uep isitea uy niui, ana money paid into bank ces:s to be the money of the depositor, and becomes the money of the bank which it may U3e, returning a;i equivalent when demanded, by paying a similar euni to that deposited. A collecting bank is the debtor ot the depositor, and is under obligation to pay ou demand, not the equal in legal value. "But this is the luie where money has been deposited, and where there has been no contract or understanding that a different rule -thai I prevail. The in structions to the Court assume that the deposits were made in Confederate cur rency and the collections were to be made in the same with the assent of the Plaintift. The Union Bank then became the agent of the Plaintiff to receive and to collect, not money, but Confederate notes or promises, and the obligation it assumed was to pay Confederate notes I ,kv. u ' i u i i , . , u-u uicj suuum uc ueuiauueu. 1QQ subject ot the contract was a commod lty, not money, and there was no de fault in the Union Bank until a demand was made aud refused. From the rm ture ot the transaction, it is to be in ferred that the intent of the parties was that one should impose and the other assume only a liability to return to tire Plaintiff notes of the Confederate Gov eminent like those received, or collected; notes promising to pay a like sum. See Robinson vs. Noble's Administrators, 8 Peters, 181." "The value at the time of the loan is not to be considered. Both panics take the risk of appreciation and depreciation The Plaintiff ought not to recover more than the damages sustained by the Dreacu ot the contract. If the notes had appreciated atter they were received by the Defendant, the Plaintift would have been entitled to the benefit of the appreciation, and therefore the risk ot the depreciation was necessarily the Plaintiff's. This case differs from that of Marine Bank vs. Fulton Bank, 2 Wallace 252 In our case, the collections were not made in money, as in the other, and it was not the understanding that money should be paid. Whereupon the Court coHcludes as follows: " That the Planters' Bank ought not to be permitted to recover more than the damages sustained by it in conse quence of the Defendant's failure to de liver Confederate notes when they were demanded, and those damages are meas ured by the value of these notes in Uni ted States currency at the time when the demand was, made and when the notes should have been deliverea." The judgment is affirmed. C R M E R S C O M P O U N D PECTORAL COUGH SYRUP, It will cure Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, and all Diseases ot the Throat and Lungs. PKEPAEEX) BY J.
