Supreme Court.


The Court has been driving business
heavily during the last week, having pro.
creased in the first CALI of the docket
yesterday to the l64th case, which, and
the following six or eight cases, are those
called the "Chicogo Marine Band Cases, y
involving the great stumptair' question.
The Marine Bank, of Chlcagh, like all other
Chicago and Illinois Bsnks, as cur readers
recolect, a year or SO ago, undertook to
deal in Illioni' currency, by receiving and
paying it out at par, when it was notorious
" worth considerably less than par. These
suits are by depositors who deposited this
currency, but on calling for their money,
refused to take stumptail, but demanded
gold or silver, or other really par funds
The question is, must the bank pay up in
coin, or in the sort of currency deposited
The cases are now being argued.

Not only as Good, bus ne.ter.

From the evidence we publish elsewhere. and
from Republican authority, it appears that the
Administration is seriously entertaining the pro-
ject of recruiting negroes into the army of
the United States. for the purpose Of hold
ing white men under subsection. And this
is done for the avowed purpose of degrading white
men-the men of their own race. 1t is not only
the rebels that are to be thus BUNDLED. but loyal
white citizens FRASK BLAIR said in his eman
~cipation speech the other day that this was not a
war for slavery, but against negro equality. The
Administration is furnishing the evidence, by
arming the negroes and making them the equals
of the white men in the army. that their appre-
tensions were not without foundation. By
placing the negro1over the white man. it is a con
cession that the former is a little better than the
latter.

We give up a large portion of our reading
space this morning to the able and conservative
speech upon the subject of confscation and
emancipation, questions which are destined to
occupy public attention and perhaps become the
main issue in the elections next fall, by Judge
C~OLLAMER, of Vermont, an accomplished jurist
and statesman, and probably the foremost man of
the Republican party in the United States Sen
ate. The sentiments and arguments Of this dis
tinguished Senator, who life long has stood in
opposition to the Democratic party, we commend
to the careful attention of all "good citizens"
"without distinction of party" They are wise,
humane and just, and differ in toto from the rabid
Republicans who seek to convert the war, in
advance Abolition schemes, and not for the
restoration Of the Union, under the Constitution,
with all the rights of the States unimpaired.
While Judge CoLLAMER proposes to punish the
leaders of the rebellion, and those who persist in
giving them aid and comfort, his policy is emf
nently conciliatory and not designed to humiliate
a people. with whom we must live upon terms of
equality. if the Union and the institutions
formed by the pure and wise founders of the Re-
public are preserved and perpetuated. Again we
commend the patriotic and statesma hike speech
of the Vermont Republican Senator % the peru
sal and consideration of all who desire to be in
formed upon one of the most important questions
now before the country.

The radical Republicans do not appear TO be
jubilaDt over the mastery generalship displayed
by Gen. MCCLELLAN and its triumphs to our
arms. Why is tbis2 MCCLELLAN is a conserva-
tive, and he believes in honestly prosecuting the
war for the objects avowed by the President and
by Congress-tbe maintenance Of the Constitu-
ton as it is and the restoration of the Union as
il was. For this reason the Abolitionists do not
like him, and to destroy him they would rejoice
at any disaster to our arms in his division of the
army. The same class not only desire that the
war should be prosecuted for the abolition of
slavery, but also for President making A bril-
liant success by MCCLELLAN over the rebel army
Of the East, resulting in its dispersion and the
capture of the rebel capital, they fear would
make him the Hero of Richmond, as Jackson
was the Hero Of New Orleans, and equally popu-
lar with the people as Old Hickory. MCCLELLAN
is a conservative. and the radicals fear that his
influence would be exerted to preserve the Con-
~stitntion and Union as framed by the wise and
pure men who founded them, and therefore they
have no sympathy with or plaudits over his tri-
umphs. -I

The following is from the New York Times's
alleged Port Royal correspondence-editorially
indorsed:
In a letter from Port ROYAL, written some
weeks ago, i stated that a negro preacher Mt that
place named Adam Murchison, possessing great
influence among the blacks, had been summoned
before Gen. Hunter, who desired to obtain from
him some important information. One of the
subjects on which he was questioned was the feel
ing of the blacks in regard to military organiZa-
ton. The conversation was deemed of sufficient
importance by Gen. Hunter to warrant further
proceedings, and Abram was directed to call a
meeting of all the male blacks at Hilton Head,
with a view of ascertaining their disposition and
desires.
This meeting was held on the evening of Mon
day, April Z. The object was unknown to the
negroes themselves; they were only aware that 1t
was ore that closely touched their interest. The
call and proceedings were conducted with the ut
most secrees. Only two white men were pres
ent-Mr. Lee, Superintendent of the negroes
employed at Hilton Held, and Mr.. Wilson, head
carpenter for the Government. The most rigid
guard was instituted to exclude those whosJ
presence was not desired, and to prevent caves
dropping on the part of the over-curious.
The large room used for negro meetings was
crowded by the expectant audience. The invi-
tation had been extended only to males-hence,
no women were present. Murchison made a short
address to his brethren, in which he depicted,
with a great deal of ~clearness and force, their
condition and relations to the Government, ard
the obligations and interests that should impel
them 10 its support. At times his language rose
to eloquence, and he was listened to with the
most breathless interest. and il was evident that
every word found a response in the sympathies
Of his hearers. 5 sfiff
After stating that il was in contemplation by
the Government to offer them the means and op-
p~ortunity Of military organization, and after can
didly explaining the 'sbors, hardships and dan
gers. as well as the advantages of soldier life,
the speaker desired all who were willing to take
up arms in defense of the Government and them
selves, to rise. Every man sprang to his feet in
an instant. - 10 a971 1tsAio 8itr Hi
Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Wilson followed the remarks
of Abram, with others designed to enlighten the
negroes in regard to the Intentions OF the Gov
eminent. 1t was impressed upon them that they
we're not in the slightest degree TO be coerced
into this military measure. All who chose to en-
roll themselves must do so voluntaril. and with a
full knowledge of the consequences Each man
who chose Was permitted to come forward and
have his name entered ON the list as a volunteer

The plunderers at W ashington-which is but
another nam for politicians in these times
headed by Wilson and Sumner. with Loveoy
and Hickman ar their tail, are still busy abusing
our Generals and those patriots who are putting

While our soldiers and our Generals are rapidly

to do but denounce them. Since Sumner saw ft

they have to do in that line at once, for the ia

will soon be at an end, and then those who have
been of real service TO the country-the men
who have fought our battles, planned and won

nation. The pIunderers, jobbers and their de-
tenders will then have to give way to the rule of
the patriots and heroes Of the war. Like the re-

SCrofula, or Kings Evil


Is a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, il pervndes
the whole body, and may burst out ia disease or
any part oft. No organ is free from its attacks.
nor IS there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulOus faint is v~ariously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the ~venereal Infection.
Whatever be its origin, il is hereditary in the
constitution, descending 'sfrom parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation: !" indeed
il seems TO be the rod of Him who says: q will
visit the i~niquities of the fathers upon their chill
dren."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or uIcerOus matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed tu-
bercles; in the glands, sweIlings; and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which geDders in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies OF life, so that scrOfulOus constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulOus complaints, but they
have far less power to Withstand the attacks of
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofulous in
their nature, are still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system. Most of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many de-
structive diseases of the liver. kidneys, brain, and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are ag-
gravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulOus,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec-
ton, and their health is undermined by il. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovaIe the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and inyigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine

Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,

lious Headache, and Billions Fevers,
originating IN hillary derangemenf,
Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while il cures the above com.
plants with certainty, is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail.
This "Cure" expels the misasmatic poison of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken on the
first approach of its premOnitory symptoms. 1t
is not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings
it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection. A great superiority of this
remedy over any other ever discovered for the
speedy and certain cure of Intermittents, is that
it contains no QuiniIe OF mineral, consequently
it produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
it are left as healthy as if they had never had the
disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasnatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation. among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Govt, Headache. Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catsrrh, Asthma. Pal
~pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, Pain in the Bowels. Collie, Paralysis and
Derangement of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This Cure" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken oc-
easionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into
disease. Hence it is even more valuable for pro-
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer fIom
Intermittents if they avail themselves of the pro-
ection this remedy affords. Prepared by

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

The most ~eifectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady. 1t is combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgatiOn of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de-
structIve consequences. Hence il should be en-
employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but
also those other affections which arise from il,
such as Eruptive and Skin Diseases, ST. Anthony's
Fire, Rose, Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustnles. Blotch-
es, Blains and BOils, Tumors, letter and Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism,
Syphilitic and Mecurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dys-
pepsia, Debility. and, indeed. all Complaints
arising from Initiated or Impure Blood. The
popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is a degeneration of the
blood. The particular purpose and virtue Of
this Sarsaparilla is TO purify and regenerate this
vital fluid, without which sound health is impos
sible in contaminated constitutions.
