ConstitutionaIi.y of Greenbaclxs.

Judge HoadIy of the Superior Court,
Cincinnati, has decided the question of the
constitutionality of the act of Congress ma
king Treasury notes legal tender, brought
before him in the case where r. B. Field
was indebted to John Tounly, by way OF
note and mortgage, on balance due Of 50,
Oo0-and Field rendered to Tounly the
$4,000 in legal tender notes, and demanded
his note and mortgage. Tounly refused to
receive the money, on the ground that the
Treasury notes offered were not legal ten
der, ands he demanded gold or silver
Thereupon Mr.. Field brought suit to compel
the surrender up of the note and mortgage
The Commercial says: s
The Court held thatt tender was good
the law making greenbacks legal tender
constitutional ordered the note and
mortgage to be surrendered.
We believe that is the first decision Of
this important question in Ohio. The
Court, in deciding il, alluded to similar de-
cisions which bad been made in New York,
and said be should follow them.

The $500 ErompIIon Clan.e.

An important decision regarding the So,
clause Of the CONSUMPTION Act is repor-
ted from Washington, the full details of
which will be found in ourspecial telegraph
column. BY this decision It will be seen
that the payment of $500 willnot exempt
a conseript. The 18th section. of the act pro-
vides that the person drafted may pay a
sum not to exceed $500, as the Secretary of
War may determin. In all the preceding
sections the world shall is used, thus i'm
plying that the execution of this exemption
clause is optional with the Secretary. He
has now decided that every man drafted
must shoulder a musket or put substitute
into the ranks. The decision will reopen
the substitute market, and prices will aver
age at a high figure, but the action of the
law may perhaps be found moro equitable
under this system ofrequiring man in the
ranks for every name drawn.

Another EVIdencs OF the ssSuPerIOr Civil
lIzation" of lhe Rebels.

The Evansville (Ia) Journal says that
on the night of the oath of April a band
Of outlaws, armed and disguised, went to
tho house of an aged aud highly esteemed
citizen Of Union county, Kentucky, named
Gown, surrounded the house so that none
could escape, dragged the old man from
his bed and carried him off into the woods
some two miles from the house. Here they
stripped him and pinned him to the ground
and with hickory withes proceeded TO lacer
ate him until his body was one mass Of
wounds and blood. They then turned him
on his back and struck him across the abdo-
men, causing him serious injury. After
having thus gratiied their devlish maligni-
ty, they left bin helpless and alone in the
woods.
The crime of this old man was that he
adhered this government, and was suspec-
ted Of having given information to the Un-
ion soldiers in relation to the movements Of
the guerrillas.
