THE SUPREME COURT ON CONFEDERATE
MoNEY-Upon rehearing, in the Supreme
Court, yesterday, rendered decision affirm
ing decree of the Court, made in Deem
Der last, in the case of George Schmidt rs.
Jacob Parker, appealed by defendant from
the Sixth District Court.
Plaintiff was a depositor in defendants
bank, the Bank Of Commerce, from January
18th to April the LIST, 1862. 4 balance was
due him of $500. This subsequent to the
occupation of the city by the Federals, plain
tiff demanded in legal tender, which defen-
dant refused, and offered Confederate money.
1t was in proof that the business of the bank,
at the time plaintiff kept an account with it,
was conducted with Confederate money; and
on his bank book was incribed the following
notification: deposits in this bank are re-
ceived on condition that the amount is to be
drawn in Confederate money"
The opinion Of the Court, now re-affirmed,
was in brief, that Confederate money having
upon the face of it, been issued to make war
upon the Government of the United States,
parties voluntarily dealing in it, as was the
case with both plaintiff and defendant, were
lpable-guilty of an immoral act-and
the court could not lend itself to the enforce
ment of contracts entered into in contempt
of law. Declaring this contract, therefore
null and void the decision of the lower
court, which was in favor Of defendant, was
ordered to be rcversed.-N o. Crescent 10th.

The next important subject is the work of

Austria and Prussia.

The London Times of the 2lst says
Although the campaign between the
main armies of Prussia and Austria has
now fairly begun, we have no use Of
actual encounter across the whole
breadth of Germany - from the frontier
of Poland to the Rhine. The forces OF
Austria and the States in alliance with
her, have been mastering for an extended
series of operations, but as yet actual
gains have been on the side of their ad-
versaries.
The Austrians maintain profound ST.
lence as TO their intentions We only
know that Field Marshal Benedek in.
tends to take the offensive, and that a
conquest and the occupation of Silesia
are avowed as the purposes of the Aus
trian campaign. In Italy the Austrians
expect to be attacked on three sides-at
Venice by the Italian fleet, on the side
of the Tyrol by Garibaldi, and lastly by

When we look at the present Congress
we behold the republican party as it ex'
lists in its moral and political degenera'
cy. A more corrupt body than this Con

is one immense, concentrated, detestable
job from beginning to end. 1t is COM
posed of men who made dishonest for
tunes during the war; of bogus generals,
who killed only their own men; OF
knavish contractors, who purchased
their seats in order to continue their rob-
berries of the Treasury; of raving fanat-
les, who ought to be in Bedlam; of small
politicians, whose only ambition is to
steal enough money to build house of
foolish philosophers, who love to air
their theories, but who have not single
practical idea; and of weak.minded
members who are entirely under the
control Of the jobbers in the lobby and
are paid accordingly The very few
good men in it are but the excep-
tiops that prove the rule, and
their purity makes the immortality of the
majority all the blacker by the contrast
Legislation in this Congress is a great
game of grab We seek in vain for any
measure based upon true principles Of
public policy; they are all instigated by
private cliques. from the meanest mo-
tives of political or personal sggrandize-
ment. The Jay Cooke scheme, the
Montana bill, the educational job, the
Freedmen's Bureau swindle, the Mexi-
can loans, the tremendous frauds in the
National Bank system, and the extor-
tions of tariff designed to impoverish
the rest of the country for the benefit of
New England aud Pennsylvania, are
instances of this kind Of legislation.
Over two hundred millions of dollars
are intended to beAquandered in these
measures alone, and the suffering tax
payers are compelled to endure such
enormous expenditures, which are of no
possible service to the nation. Thus the
national debt is constantly increased, in
spite Of the representation of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and before long it
win become, not national blessing, "
