The LEGAL TENDER CAsE.-Mr. Justice
WAYNE, last Tuesday, delivered the opinion
of the Supreme Court of the United States, at
Washington, dismissing the writ of error sued
ont by Judge ROOSEVELT in the legal-tender
case, on the ground that the decision of the
State Court OF New York having been in IA
vor of the constitutionality of the law, the
Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to revise
the decision. The only mode, therefore, in
which the question can come before the
United States Supreme Court is by appeal or
writ of error from the Judgment OF an infe-
r.or court of the United States.

aside from their chronic hatred of the

Bad pGHcV.

1t is stated that the southern part of Indi-
ana is so overrun with thieves, burglars, and
vagabonds of all descriptions that the people
seriously contemplate organizing vigilance
committees after the manner of California, to
suppress evils which the ordinary civil au-
thorities seem incompetent to grapple with.
This deplorable condition of things is at
tributed to the release, upon taking an oath
of allegiance, of large numbers of rebel pris-
oncrs. The soldiers of fortune, the men
without home principle, in the rebel army,
and those who are regardless of the Oblga-
ton of an oath are of course the first to take
advantage of such an opportunity.
There are doubtless many men in the rebel
service who have been forced in contrary TO
their inclination. These, if they could be
discovered, might be released with safety.
But it is impossible to discriminate. And as
a general rule, it is unwise to trust the oath
or the pledge of man found fighting against
his country. As well release the inmates of the
penitentiary upon obtaining their promise
to lead better life. They only laugh at the
simplicity which confides in them

CURIOUS STATEMENT ABOUT JEFFERSON DA-
visa correspondent of the Egz,ing Post,
writing from Prairie du Chen, Wisconsin.
says
''Prairie du Chen is a city Which has very
little interest to the present generation, ex-
cept for its commercial advantages, but it has
peculiar significance to old residents of the
West, and there is hardly an officer in the
old army but at one time or another has been
quartered at Fort Crawford. ] was foI 5uuate
enough to meet with a highly respectable
gentleman, native of the place, and son of
French parents He described Fremont, who
visited him while on surveying trip in the
Northwest as a young officer of great energy.
somewhat taciturn, but always affabe and in
teresting. His descriptions and recoIections
of jefferson Davis, who came from West
Point, were most significant 1t is a singular
phenomenon IN physiology, that people OF
mixed races sometimes retain for wears the
evidence of their lineage upon the mothers
side, but in the course of time, under climatic
and other Influences the features change and
the trace is lost. One shrinks from relating
ANYTHING likely to hurt the susceptibilities of
so lofty a person as sIaveholding jeff Davis.
but history is impartial, and it must be told
that he was known to the towns people and
by his brother officers as the .Httle niger"
My worthy informant, who has very friendly
memories of Davis, having been taught to
speak English by him, AYERS that he not only
carried the negro in his face, but that he has
it in his blood, and that several years after
when visiting his former friend, then Secre-
tary of War, he did not recognize him, and
could scarcely believe him to be the same
person.
"While l am conscious that this intelli-
gence, the truth of which l do not fer an in
slant doubt, for it was confirmed by the evil
dence of many others, may not i4Jure the
cause of the secessionist8 in the minds Of
| many good people, yet the world at large viii
not fail 10 draw the conclusion that the Cit
tie niger" came legitimately, in one sense,
into possession of his thirst for rule from his
! ancestors of Congo or Dahomey."

Anal, sis of MIR. s.iaeoIn's Character.

The Rev. Henry Fowler, of Auburn, New
York, in Thanksgiving sermon delivered
at that place, thus spoke of the President:
The explanation for his every act is this
He executes the viii of the people. He rep
resents a controlling majority. If he be slow,
it is because the people are slow. If he has
done a foolish act, it was the stupidity of the
people which impelled it. His wisdom con
sists in carrying out the good sense of the
nation. His growth in political knowledge,
his steady movement toward emancipation,
are but the growth and movement of the ma
tonal mind Indeed, in character and culture
he is a fair representative of the average Amer
lean. His awkW ard speech, and yet more
awkward silence, his uncOuth manners, his
grammar selt-taught and partly forgotten, his
style miscellaneous, concreted from the best
authors, like a reading book, and yet often
times of Saxon force and classic purity; his
humor an argument, and his logic Joke, both
unreasonable at times and Irresistible always
| his questions answers, and his answers qUes-
tons; his guesses prophecies and tulflmeut
ever beyond his promise honest yet shrewd,
simple yet reticent; heavy and yet energetic,
never despalring and never sanguine d; care
less In forms, conscientious in essentials
never sacrificing good servant once trusted,
never deserving good principle once adopted,
not afraid of new ideas, not despisiug old
ones; improving opportunities TO confess mis-
takes, ready to learn, getting at facts, doing
nothing when he knows not what to do; hes
itating at nothing when he sees right lack
ing the recognized qualifications of n party
leader, and yet leading his party as no other
man can sustaining his political enemies in
Missouri to their defeat, sustaining his poll
teal friends in Maryland to their victory /;
conservative in his sympathies and radical in
his acts; Socratic III his style, and Baconian
in his method; his religion consisting in truth
fulness, temperance, asking good people to
pray for him, and publicly acknowledging in
events the hand Of God, he stands before you
as the type Of &" Brother Jonathan" a not
perfect man, and yet more percious than fine
gold
