The New York Decision Oh Legal
Tender Notes.

The recent decision of the New York
Supreme Court against the constitutional
ity of the illegal tender clause" of the
Treasury Note Law, is based on the fol-
lowing facts: Samuel Bovine, in 1854,
delivered his bond to the defendant Roose-
welt for $4,000, to be paid in August,
1857, to secure loan of that amount,
Roosevelt giving Bovine check for the
sum on the Chemical Bank, payable in
gold, if Bovine desired it. To further Sc
cure the loan, Bovine and his wife execu-
ted mortgage on an estate in Richmond
county, New York. Subsequently the
premises were conveyed to Meyer, the
plaintiff, subject to the mortgage, the
plaintiff assuming the paymentiof the
same, the amount received having been
deducted from the purchase money. The
plaintiff in June, 1862, rendered to the
defendant So, 40 in United States notes,
issued by the act Of February 25, 1862.
Roosevelt refused the notes as legal ten
der, claiming that he should be paid in
gold coin. An agreement was entered

Affairs i'll Missouri.

The appointment of Gen. Schofeld to
the Department of Missouri created no
little ill feeling on the part of the
unqualified Union men in Missou-
ri, especially as it was considered a tri-
umph of the advocates of lenient policy
towards rebels and rebel sympathisers.
1t is stated, however, by the well-inform-
ed St. Louis correspondent of the N. Y.
Commercial Adce,'tiser, that Gen. ScHo-
FIELD has signified his intention to carry
out the designs of his predecessor in ban
ishing the disloyal persons heretofore ar
rested, that he will see the slaves ofknown
rebels protected in their loyalty, and has
no reluctance to their leaving the State
He says also that Gen. Heron visited
Gen. Schofeld few days since that,
after a long interview, all former troubles
were settled, and that Gen. Heron will
return to the command of the Army of
the Frontier and soon move On Little
Rock, the capital of Arkansas.

On May 21st we formed line in front OF the
enemy's works in the rear of Vicksburg. On
the morning of the 22d, at 10 O'Clock, by order
Of Gen. Grant, an assault was made upon the
fertilization around Vicksburg. My regiment,
with the 48th Iowa infantry for reserve and
support, was ordered to charge upon one OF
the enemy's forts just in front, as soon as l
should see charge Made upon the fort next
on my right. All preparations were made, and
we were waiting for the signal to advance,
when was directed by Col. Sanbom not to
move until further orders. While awaiting
such orders our brigade was directed to pro-
coed to the support of Gen. Burbage's brigade
of Gen. Netherlands corps ON our left.
The 4Sth Indiana and 47th Illinois were NOV
cd into position in front of the rebel works,
where Gen. Burbrage was already engaged.
No SCORER had we taken such position than
Gen. Burbage withdrew his brigade from the
the action. Under the direct fire from the fort
in front, under heavy cross fire from fort
on our right, the regiment pressed forward up
to and even on the enemy's works. In this
position, contending for the possession Of the
rebel earthwork before us, the reg iment re-
manned for two hours. when it became dark,
and was ordered by Col. Sanbom to with
draw the regiment Noticing a field piece
which had been lifted up the hill by main
strength, and which had apparently been used
by Gen. Burbrage in attempting to batter down
the walls of the fort, and which he had left be-
hind when he withdrew his brigade, sent
Company c to draw the piece from the ground
and down the hill. This being safely executed,
moved the regiment by the left flank from
their position and down the hill. We bivou-
acked about eighty rods from the field. In
this action the regiment suffered severely, los
ing some of its best officers and men,. Twelve
were killed and forty-two wounded, many OF
them severely. A list of all their names is
hereto attached.
On the following morning we were formed
in line to support the right OF Gen. Burbage.
No engagement coming on, in the afternoon
we moved to the position occupied on the Dist

but that would be clearly wrong, when all, OF
nearly all, have endeavored to do their whole

into that the defendant should receive the
notes conditionally, and that the question
as to their being legal tender should be
submitted to Court having jurisdiction
OF the case, and that if the decision should
be that they were not legal tender the
plaintiff should pay the defendant 1926 rs
with interest, that being the amount of
difference, between the market value of
the notes and gold on June IL, 1862.
The decision OF the Court has elected
considerable severe comment, and some
of the judges are charged with motives far
from honorable. The Tribune saws.
among other things:
Although the case was hurriedly made up.
and its argument fastened the decision of il
has been unaccountably delayed 1t would be
more exact to say that the public announce
ment of the decision has been delayed, for from
the beginning, there has been no doubt in the
minds of those who arranged this performance
what issue would be reached. More than two
months ago we were assured and felt bound to
say that this decision had been privately re-
solved on by the Judges, and that its purpOrt
had been communicated in some way to GER
tain spectators in Wall street, who so far re-
relied upon the information that they were
operating largely in mortgages and other Sc
curities which were likely to be effected by
such judgment. 1t is difficult to conceive
what charge could be more damaging to an
honest Judiciary, or what charge an honest
judge, if there were one implicated, would
| make greater haste to repeal. Yet the state
ment at that time evoked no word of contra
| dictOn, though it did elicit general and indig-
nant comment from the public, and put inno-
cent holders of securities upon their guard.
The intervening months have passed away, and
that disclosure being supposed to have been
forgotten, the decision is finally announced
from the bench: Will any one now explain
through what channel it was previously re-
| vealed?
The public viii give no more weight to this
business in its present condition than it de-
serves. The case will 90 from the Supreme
Court of this district to the Court of Appeals,
there to be heard and decided by loyal, impair
tial, and incorruptible Judges, and of its ulti-
mate rightful disposition there is no reason to
entertain single fear.

Capt. Cady Of the Eighth Regiment
At Killed.

1t is with much regret we announce the
killing of Capt CApY of Anoka, by the In
dams, at or near Kandiyohi Lakes, on
Wednesday last. Capt. CADY left st.
Paul on Monday last to resume command
of his company which is stationed at Ma
hannah, some twelve miles west of For
rest City, in Meeker county. Upon his
arrival at that post, he asaertained that
small squad of Indians had passed through
that vicinity with horses which they had
stolen from settlers. Lieut. NAT TIBBETs,
of his company had followed up the trail
of the Indians for day. Capt. CADY,
on overtaking his men, took command in
pursuit of the Indians.
After following the trail for some time
he came upon the Indians in ambush, who
fired upon the command, instantly killing
Captain CADY. He was shot through the
head.
The Indians made their escape but the
stolen horses We're recovered. We do not
learn that any others were killed or woun-
ded. Lieut.. TIBBErTs Immediately sent a
dispatch through to Mr.. SrowEL1, of An
Okla, with whom Captain CADY was for
merly connected in business, announcing
the melancholy event.
Mr.. SrowEIL arrived in St. Paul last
evening and secured metallic coffin for
the reception of the remains of Captain
CADY, which will be forwarded to his
friends in the East. We learn that the
body of Capt. CADY was at Clearwater,
Wright county, yesterday morning. Fur
ther pa rticulars of this affair will doubtless
be received to day.
Capt. CADY was one of the best officers
of the regiment, and was universally re-
spected by his comrades. His untimely
death affords warning to all officers and
men, against being ambushed or surprised
by the willy and treacherous foe. We
would not have it understood that Captain
CADY was at fault in this respect, for we
know but little of the circumstances at
tending his death.

This calculation does not embrace in it
those who are acting as pioneers for Gen.
erals Banks and Grant in Louisiana and
Mississippi, for these would doubtless
swell the number to $4,000 men. nor do
we believe the enumeration more than the
official roll will exhibit.
The Raleigh, North Carolina, Stand
ard, which has come out against the Rich
mond authorities, speaks as follows:
If that cause should become merely the
cause of Davis and the South. and if partyism
should take the place of patriotism in the adj
ministration of the government, the cry in this
State will be, ''to your tents, oh Israel.
North Carolina will never hew wood and
draw water for those who underrate her. She
must be the equal of other States in the Con
federacy, or she will leave it, and endeavort To
take care of herself
The European advices bring q renort
that Earl Russell had taken a yery hold
diplomatic step in advance of the Western
allies of England, on the Polish question
having proposed to Russia plan of neaca
including the independence of Poland
The proposal is thus stated: First. the
conclusion of an armistice for one wear.

DISMISSED rHK SERVICE.

Col. Beiger. late Chief Quartermaster At
Baltinore, has teen dismissed the United
States service. He was tried before court
martial upon charges OF neglect Of duty, and
fraudulent conduct In hiring transports, and
the purchase OF supplies, and found not guilty;
but tho Secretary of War, after reviewing the
testimony, considered that Col. BIS purchases
were at rates unaccountably high; and after
declaring that Colonel Belger was guilty Of
gross neglect and violation of duty in thrss
transacdons, the Secretary disapproves of the
finding of the Court, and declares Col. Relger,
by order Of the President, dishonorably dis
missed from the United Statas service.
The order Of Secretary Stsn'sn cannot but
have an excellent admonitory effect In show
Ing that the. Government is determined to hold
to strict accountability any officers guilty Of
systematically paying favored parties higher
than Tire marFet rates for supplies. We shall
