do not forget the position assumed by some,
that constitutional questions 10 be decided by
the Supreme Court; nor do deny that such de-

parties to suit as to the object of that suit while
they are also entitled to very high respect and
consideration in all parallel by all other de-
partments of the Government

decision may be erroneous In any given case,

that particular case, with the chance that il NAV
be over-ruled, and never become a preceden: for
other cases, can better be borne than could the
evils of different practice. AT the same time
the candid citizen must confess that If the policy
of the government upon vital questions affecting
the whole people Is TO be irrev0caby fixed by the
decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they
are made In ordinary litigation between parties in
personal actions, the people will have ceased 20

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
Financial AnnIrs.

Business in Third street was rather brisk
during a greater part Of yesterday, more
transactions occurring than on any previous
day of the week. The calls for Currency were
light, ard the deposits at several Houses un-
usually heavy; balances being augmented
considerably since the opening Of the week.
Financial affairs continued greatly unsettled
and much depressed. ...
Eastern Exchange was advanced to 3
prem. yesterday, and became very firm at
that rate on all points except Baltimore,
which was prem. Gold went up to prem,
and there was no particular desire to sell
even at that figure.
Uncurrent Money was more depressed

lenses
The Washington National Republican thus
indicates the importance of Pensacola, its
Navy yard and defenses:
The magnificent bay Of Pensacola, twenty
seven miles in length and (in its broadest
part) twelve miles in width, has twenty one
feet water on its bar. The naVies, of the
world can float securely within it. The
great work which protects it is Fort Pickens,
erected by the United States, at cost OF
nearly Loco, 600, on the long, low and mar
row island of santa Rosa. On the main
land side of the entrance to the bay, are
Fort McRae, erected by the United States, at
q cost Of $4,000, 900 and Fort Barancas, an
old Spanish fertilization, improved and en-
laTRed by our Government. All these main
lard defenses have fallen, together with the
Navy, yard, and an immense amount of
stores, provisions and munitions.
These last might have been saved but for
Commodore Armstrong, who commanded at
the NaEy-yerd, but the entire loss of de-
fensfs and stores Is attributable to the late
Secretary Of the Navy, Mr.. Toueey, who
kept lhe Gulf Squadron at Vera Cruz, and
never sent single vessel, either TO protect
the public works at Pensacola, or 70 bring
off the public property which was movable.
That Fort Pickers was saved, Is owing
solely to the individual gsllsntry of Lieuten-
ant Slemmer and the handful Of brave men
under his command.
The value Of Pensacola harboF, upon the
defense of which we have lavished 80 much,
Is inealculable. lnanalional point OF view

Roger 4. Pryor speaks for Virginia.
Mr.. Roger A. Pryor, called by the South
Carolina papers the eloquent young tribune
of the South" was, on Wednesday evening,
serenaded at Charleston. In response to the
compliment he made some remarks, among
which were the following:
Gentlemen, for my part, if Abraham Lin
coin and Hannibal Hamlin were to a5dicate
their ofice to morrow, and were to give to
me blank sheet of paper wheTeupon to
write the conditions OF reannexation TO the

And why? Because our grievance has not
been with reference 10 the insuiiiciency of
the guarantees, bug The unutterable perhdy
of The gusIantors; and inasmuch as they
would EOE fulfill the stipulations OF the old
Constitution, much less will they carry out
the guarantees of a better Constitution,
