What Constitutes Legal Tender
Important Decision.

In the Philadelphia District Court, on
Wednesday, an important decision was
given in the case of Shoenberser for use
VS.. Mussleman & Watts. The defendents,
oblicers in bond Dated November Goth,
1861, in the penal sum of S56, ,2Sl 7S, con-
ditioned for the payment of S2S, l55 80,
in specie, current gold of the United
States of America, on the lst of May, 1867,
with lawful interest, in specie, current
gold and silver money aforesaid, to be
paid halfyearly for the same in the city
of Philadelphia. A warrant of attorney
of the same date, with the bond to con-
fess Judgment, was annexed TO the bond.
Under this warrant judgment was en-
tered for the penalty of the bond, and the
record sets out the condition also, rcrbG-
tim. When the day of payment arrived,
the obligors rendered to the obligee the
debt, interest and cost, in full, in the
notes of the United States, which, by act
of Congress of February 25, 1862, were
made legal tender for all debts, &c. The
plaintiff refused to receive them, and had
a #. ia. issued, which the defendants ask
ed to have set aside. The question raised
was whether the plaintiff had a right,
since the act of Congress of February %,
1862, to require payment by defendants
of gold and silver money or was bound to
accept the notes of the United States,
which by that act were made legal ten
der for notes generally. The Court de-
cided that the tender of United States
notes was sufficient answer TO the obliga'
ton in the bond, and the writ was SET
aside.

From Bonner's \. y. Ledger
Low and Uniform Postage.

Hon. John Hutchins, of Ohio, Mr.. PHI
ny Miles of this city, Hon. Schuyler Col
fax. and some other well-known gentle
man, have set to work in earnest to i'm
prove our postal system. There is great
and urgent need of improv ement, the A
mericans having acknowledged for years
that the English are far in advance of us
in a convenient post office. Mr.. Hutch
ins, who appears to be the leader, or one
of the leaders of the movement in Con-
greSS, has made an elaborate and able
speech on the subject, which has been
published by D. Appleton & Co. in hand
some style. A Postal Bill of some thirty
sections has been introduced, and is eX-
pected to pass during the present session.
The principal changes proposed are one
uniform rate of letter postage, of two cents,
a great simplifcation of the rates on prin-
ted matter, money order system, for re-
mitting money by drafts drawn by one
post office on another, Il free letter deli
very in cities by paid carriers, and the
abolition of franking. The alteration of
postage is not so much a reduction as an
equalization of rates. The one cent rates
on drop letters, transient newspapers,
&C., are all raised to two cents, and the
present three cent rate reduced to two.
UNIFORMITY of charge has been the key
to the success of the English system, and
our legislators are wise in adopting it
We understand that the Postmaster Cen
eral favors the Bill, the rates proposed be-
ing likely to produce as large revenue
as our present complicated series of char
ges. Mr.. Hutchins states that we have
eight different regular and irregular rates
on letters, which are to be reduced to one
single rate, with four hundred and thirty,
three different rates on printed matter,
which are TO be reduced to twenty-three.
The country will be under deep obliga-
tions to the gentlemen in and out of Con
gress who will effect these salutary chan
ges in our postal laws. Every person who
writes a letter or takes newspaper should
address line-it will 90 free under oul
present postal regulations-tot their mem
ber of Congress, asking him to support Mr.
Hutchins' postal bill. AT no time in the
history of the country have we needed ;
good postal system so much as we shall
during the coming period of heavy taxa
/ ton. In the words of the author of the
bill, National burdens, social wants, anC
! the demands of commerce and trade, al
combine to urge this measure NOW upo1
the consideration of Congress. 1t will mi
igate the calamities of war, and enhanct
the rich blessings of peace"

Old Eagles and Nests.

The Girard (Pa.) Union of last week
gives the following interesting account OF
an old couple of Eagles, their troubles
and their constancy.-It says:
Sixty years ago, when the township
was first settled, pair of Eagles, of the
white headed or bald species, had nest
in tall tree on the farm of Mr.. Kelly.
They were not disturbed, and for twenty
years they occupied the nest, annually
rearing and sending forth brood of ca
giles, when violent storm overturned the
tree, and of course destroyed their habi-
tation. They rebuilt their airy home
on 4 lofty and inaccessible sycamore, on
the farra of Riley Pettibone, adjoining
Mr.. Keiley's, and enjoyed aquiline happi-
ness with uninterrupted security for for
! ty years longer, raising to eaglehoOd two
or three yonng chicks yearly. A few
weeks ago a high wind wrenched off the
limb containing the nest, and threw it on
the ground with such energy that it was
torn to atoms and a very young and very
bald eagle was killed. The nest was large
! being made of about ten bushels of sticks
and leaves. This aged and perseverine
couple are now making a third nest or
another sycamore near the one lately de
/ strOyed. How old these birds are is not
known, but they are the same pair found
here 10y the oldest settlers, there is nc
doubt The are so long familiar with the
presence Of men that they can be ap
/ preached within a few feet and then
age, constancy, and friendliness have Civ
en- them the respect of the neighbors
! who would turn out enmass and mob the
unlucSy sport who should attempt tC
shoot or deSpoil this royal family.

A Good General.

The fortitude required of him is very diff
ferent from the unthinking alacrity of the
common soldier or common sailor III the
face of danger or death; it is not passion,
it is not an impulse, it Is a sentlment-lt
is a cool, steady, deliberate principal, al
ways present, always equable; having no
connection with anger; tempering honor
with prudence; melted, invigorated and
sustained by a generons love of fame; in
formed, moderated, and directed by an en-
larged knowledge of its own great public
ends: flowing in one blended stream from
the opposite sources of the heart and head,
carving in itselfits own commission, and
providing its title to every other COM
mand, that of the bosom in which it re-
sides-it is fortitude which unites with
the courage of the field, the more exalted
and refined courage of the council; which
knows as well to retreat as to advance;
which can conquer as well by delay as by
the rapidity of march, or the impetuosl-
tv of an attack: which can be, with Fabius.
the black cloud that lowers on the tops of
the mountains, or with Scipio, the thun-
der-bolt of war; which, undismayed by
false shame, can patiently endure the Sc
verest trials that gallant spirit can un-
dergo, in the taunts and provocations of
the enemy, the suspicious, the cold re-
spect, and mouth honor" of those from
whom he should meet cheerful obedi-
ence which, undisturbed by false human
itv. can calmly assume that most awful
moral responsibility of deciding when vic
tory may be too dearly purchased by the
loss of single life, and when the safety
and glory of their country may demand
the certain sacrifice of thousands.-Brke
