Legal EendeF Notes and GheiF Cen J
stifutionalieV.
Some weeks since The District Court In
Philadelphia had before il two cases, in
which the constitutionalily Of the act Of
Congress Of February %. 1862, making
United States notes legal tender, Wss
involved. Ia one Of the eases the party
had offered legal tender notes in payment
Of . mortgage, and the money was re-
fused and the party cited into court On
Saturday Judges HAne and Stroud de-
ltvered the msjority opinion Of the court,
affirming that the tender Of the United
States notes was legal, inasmuch Rs Con-
gress, uEder the constitution, giving
power to regulate commerce, hRd the au-
thority TO pass the act Of February 20,
1852
Judge Stroud, ia bis opinion, held that
even the authority granted in the con
stitution to declare war" carried with
it all the incidents Of such q grant 0 4
power; and as money was one Of the
most important elements Of strength, the
government must havs the authority to
declare what shall pass a. legal tender.
The debates in the Convention " b ch
framed the constitution were referred 10
in support Of the views entertained BY
the msj oritY Of the court.

chance to be caught upon Southern
soilj to imprison any schooI-mistress
who may attempt to teach the alpha
bet to pickaninnies. 1t means the
right to call to their aid the armies of
the nation, to help in hanging any
madd&ning, demented old man whom
the exercise Of these rights, in the
murder of his sons and the destruction
of his property, has made lunatic.
1t means the right to steal our ships,
our money and our arms, to seize our
our forts and arscnals, to make war up
on us, whenever the Democratic party
may fail or refuse to elect President.
1t means the right, when they get
tired of rebellion, to come back into
the Union with all their rights restored
and few more hitched on, for the
sake Of appeasing ''our injured breth-
rem" 1t means the right to have their
war debt paid from the national treas
ury, together with the value of every
freed or confiscated slave, and all prop
erty destroyed. In fine, the Demo-
cratic idea of constitutional rights is
to give the South all it asks; and the
South never did and never can ask
anything, from the rendition of fu-
gitive to the secession of State, that
the Democracy is not willing to grant
and recognize as constitutional right.
And the vaunted doctrine of State
Rights means very nearly the same
thing, viz: Congress has no right to
interferewith the prerogatives ofSopth-
ern slave States, but it may legislate
slavery over every free State; and the
refusal Of the citizen to assist in the
enforcement Of such legislation shall
subject him to mprisonment, while
the passage of " Personal Liberty
Bills" or any other bills asserting the
rights OF States to protect their citi-
zens in the free exercise OF conscience
shall bring down upon them the whole
military power of the Government.

A Buckeye Copperhead.

Chiffon A. White, dishonordble mem
ber of Congress from Ohio, who has
recently been renominated by his cop
perhead friends, has been making
speeches III his district, from which we
quote the following as specimen bricks:
If this Administration is permitted
to go on, when the soldiers come home
they will steal, murder, rob, and rape
your mothers, wives, and daughters,
and you will be powerless. There will
be no law to protect you"
This Administration must be put
down and whipped out Our south
ern brethren cannot be whipped. You
must withdraw your armies from their
soil, raise the blockade, restore to them
all the territory you have taken froL,
them, pay them all the damage you
have done them, and then, and not till
then, will you have peace"
Voters, remember, this is the kind
of men who arc to hold Office should
Mcclellan and his peace party hold
the reins of Government.

Mcclellan at Malvern Hill.


We find theM following statement
about McClellan's retreat from NAL
vern Hill, ir the Rev J. J. Marks able
history of The PeninsuIar Campaign
II Virginia" 1t is portion of histo-
ry which will be difficult for Gen Nc
CleIlan to explain. The statement is
the more important just now from the
fact that Mr.. Marks wrote his history
Immediately after Mcclellan abandon
ed the Peninsula. 1t was not written
for any political effect, nor by polti-
clan, but by an army chaplain, who
was a faithful witness of the scenes
which he describes.
Mr.. Marks says:
The battle was over, but the cam
nonading still continued, and shells
ard balls of every kind to'e through
the woods in a ceaseless whirlwind of
fury. In the meantime thousands of
the contederates fed in the widest
disorder from the scene and hid them
selves in swamps and hollows; soldiers
without guns, horsemen without caps
or swords, came to the hospitals in the
battlefie d of Glendale, and reported
that their regiments and brigades had
been swept away, and they alone were
escaped to tell the tale"
at is one Of the strangest things in
this week Of disaster that Gen. Nc
Clellan ordered retreat to Harrison's
Landing, six miles down the James
river, after he had gained so decided
victory. When this order was receiv-
ed by the impatient and eager army,

Affairs Across the River.

1t is somewhat disheartening to be
left for months conjecturihg what the
military authorities are preparing to do,
or win do, with the guerrilla depredators
who are literally swarming in Union,
Henderson, and the adjoining counties
in Kentucky. The question still reeurs:
Is the country across the river to be en-
tirely abandoned to Confederate rule, or
are the thousands Of men who are
scattered throughout Southern Indiana,
Illinois and Kentucky, and are drawing
their daily pay and rations as soldiers OF
the United States in the land and naval
service, TO be employed in driving these
netherlands back into the confines Of
their bogus Confederaey7 Or are We 10
have the melancholy privilege Of watch
ing them lazily lettering around, while
the Confederate chiefs, johnson and Sy.
pert, are leisurely concentrating a force
under our very noses, sufficiently large TO
threaten q disastrous raid into our State,
after effectuaIly bloekading the Ohio a
hundred miles from its month";
What is the matter with the civil and
military authorities Of this District
Are our own authorities asleep, or are
they in happy Ignorance Of the fact that
a thousand wellarmed, wellmounted
men are nov within half days march
of this city, with no barrier interposing
but river that can be forded In dozen
places2 Eight weeks ago the combined
netherlands that we're proving through
the country between the Green and Cum-
beriand rivers would not have numbered
100 all told. To-day, no less than 500
perhaps 200 can be mustered in SIX
hours notice in Union county alone.
1t IS believed that this number will be
still augmented within a day or two bt
the addition Of Woodwards force. which
is said to have one or two pieces Of ar.
tlllery. 1t does look as If something
should be done speedily to avert this
I growing evil
