them on political topics Whether it will

hope Of electing General jackson, time will

but it comes rather late in the day, The de-

The Supreme Court, of the United States,
had the subject Of the Legal Tender Act be-
fore it the other day for the first time. The
case was brought in Washington City, against
Bank for money deposited in gold, before
the passage of the law making Treasury notes
OF the United States legal tender.
The Plaintiff proposed to show, in the
Court below, that it WAS the understanding,
and the custom at the time the deposit WAS
made, for the Washington Banks to pay in
gold where the deposit was made in gold, and
that the defendant refused to comply with the
custom, bot insisted upon paying 10 Legal
Tender notes. The Court below tejected
the evidence as immsterial holding that the
offer to pay in greenbacks was equivalent,
under the law, to the tender Of gold. The
Supreme Court affirmed the decision Of the
Court below.
The decision settles the question, for all
time to come, beyond any further doubt OF
cavil and so long as the Government of the
| United States maintains its authority, green
backs will pass current, and in the payment
of debts of whatever character

" RELEASE OF Ex PREsI DENT
nAVIsv

The release of JEFF. Davis at Richmond
should have come off few days earlier, to
have secured its full scenic and sensational
effect. 1t would have been in character had
the grand demonstration of joy and triumph
of the rebel chief come off on the anniver-
sary OF President Lincoln's assassination,
and the day would have added another point
Of triumphant contrast, for the admiration of
rebel editors.
JEFF. Davis represents the cause and the
conspiracy towhich we owe the death OF near
half million Of Union soldiers. and under
whose orders thousands of better men than
he we're starved to death, in Andersonvlle
aud other Southern prisons. And it was in
the interests of jeff Davis, if not at his ins
stigation and with his approval, that Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated. Why did not
the managers bring their farce on the stage
in the middle Of April, instead of delaying it
till May?
Below we give few extracts, showing the
spirit Of the Richmond press on the occasion
Of the release Of ex-President Davis:

Political Matters.

THE Pittsburgh Commercial says
the treatment Mr.. JOHNSON received
at the hands of the Democratic Coun-
ty Convention last Wednesday. was
anything but gracious. The pream-
Bile and resolutions indorsing him
were .unceremoniously and indefinitely
postponed, and that. too, on the mo-
ton of one who failed to obtain an
executive appointment only because
the Senate refused to confirm him.
The Democratic party in Pennsylvania
spurn the Johnsonian contract.
THE New York World, after seve-
raj times perusing the fifth section of
the order removing SHERIDAN, which
did not proceed from Mr.. JOHNSON,
comes to the following conclusion
concerning it: ~ I Z q
That is to say, all Gen. Sheridan 8
orders will remain in force, notwith-
standing his removal, and General
Thomas is forbidden to make the
slightest change in any of them, I'M
less authorized by the General of the
army. EC.F

Statesman that Mr.. William Dowden,
the Sheriff of Fayette County, has APP

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Tribune writes from Holly Springs,
Miss, as follows:
This county, Marshall, will give
from four to eight hundred Republi-
can majority. The Congressional
committee are doing us great good by
sending speeches and papers for cir
culation. They have sent about one
thousand, and they are eagerly read
by the men of the South All North
ern speakers are listened to with the
most intense interest by all classes of
men in the South. The sentiments
uttered by the Northern advocates of
freedom are as new to the men of the
South as were those of the Declara-
ton Of Independence to the King of
England. The seed being sown here
by the Republicans of the North,
through the agency of the Congress
sional committee, will yield rich
harvest
