sHARsWOoD ON LEGAL TENDERS.
Extract from His Opinion in the Case of
Borie VS.. Trott,

son the whole, then, | am of opinion
that the provision of the act of Congress OF
February 25th, 1862, declaring the notes is
sued in pursuance of that act to be lawful
money, and q legal tender, is unconstitu-
hOndi
! This renders it unnecessary that should
consider the other question which has been
made, as to the effect of the special agree
ment to pay In lawful silver money of the
United States. | am in favor of entering
judgment for the plaintiff, but as maiori
ty of the court are of different opinion,
judgment for the defendant ~ Copied from
the Philadelphia Age Of February %, 1864,
where the opinion is published in full .
It may also be found in the Legal hatelh-
cancer of March IS, 1864, page 90.
In the same copy of the Age is carefully
prepared eulogy of the Judge and this
opinion, in which is the following
Judge Sharswood reasons upon and de-
cides the case as if he were some lofty spir-
it sitting far above and out of the conten-
tions and strifes of the world.
Will not the holders of greennacks and
Government bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and ETHEREAL for such
earthly honors as seat on the Supreme
Bench.

The Remedy With the People.

The Gettysburg Star and .Sentuet with
much force remarks that while Constitu-
tional reform should not be lost sight OF,
the people should continually bear in mind
the Importance of ''electing to places of
trust men who will hold themselves above
and beyond all corrupt influences, indirect
or otherwise For most of the evils so
much complained Of a remedy rests in the
hands of the people themselves. The evils
have arisen from permitting dishonest and
incompetent men to obtain possession of
the Offices from high to low Our Legisla-
ture has become corrupt because men will
ling to sell themselves have so generally
been chosen. There is no Constitutional
remedy that will reach this evil. The peo-
pie are the source of the evil and the reme-
dy, both-perhaps it would be more proper
to say, the politicians are the cause of the
evil and the remedy rests solely with the
people. This is an every day, perfectly
palpable fact Conventions fall into the
hands of small politicians in the service of
aspirants. These aspirants generally are
the architects of the ruin that has been
worked to our reputation at home and
abroad There is nothing to which it is
more important the people should become
aroused than this 1t is time they took
possession of their conventions and presen
ted nominees to support whom would bring
the blush to the cheek of no man.

The Philadelphia Ledger in an article re-
viewing the financial career of Sir Morton
Peto, says: 1T is said that while in this
country, some of his proposals were of so
questionable character in regard to his
great western railroad scheme that one of
our ablest railroad managers. after an inter
view with him, declared that if things were
to be managed as he said the credit of the
whole would be destroyed in less than two
years. His visit here, his banquets and
compliments, were nothing but an i'm.
mense method of pushing his credit to
the utmost possible limit, and by advertis-
ing III London the gigantic nature of his
railway plans in the United States, hoated
off bubbles large enough to keep his credit

What They Think Of It.

The letter of the notorious Robert
Toombs, which he issued some weeks ago,
much in the tone and hunor of a bear with
very sore head. has not had much effect
even among those who formerly were sway
ed BY the eminent conspirator. The lmpu-
dencc of the renegade rebel does not. OF
course, strike them as it does us, but they
have discernment enough to see the impolicy
of its proposition, and they, therefore, with
prudence which it utterly lacks, decline
to give it either approval or sympathy
The proposed party and its objects, and
especially under such leader, they wisely
repudiate The following from Georgia
paper expresses probably the common SEN
timent, concerning the letter aud its broken
down authority:
.'As we interpret it, it indicates that an
effort is to be made to organize a party IN
support of the right of secession. We
thought the South had abandoned that
doctrine as practical idea In American
politics. While neither war nor majorltles
can change mems convictions, yet when
there were two interpretations OF the con-
stitution, and the supporters both went to
war to enforce them, the doctrine of the
prevailing party must be taken as establish
ed. Even if our abstract reflections led US
to different conclusion, we should feel
bound TO submit to the ultimate arbiter.
Such tremendous war oughtto settle some
thing. Having invoked the God of battles.
We feel bound by has decision. Further, the
purpose which this letter discloses is very
ill-timed. The people of the North are
divided upon the terms of reinstating the
South. They are united with trifing ex-
ceptions, in condemning secession. 1t is
our policy to offer every inducement for
liberal terms The appearance of a party
among us, ,mder such leader, maintaining
doctrine which they almost all abhor, aoiu
gre rast increase of strength to those
who favor the harshest terms.

The valuation OF property, under the in
ternal revenue law, shows very generally an
increase. Taking the period of six or sew
en- years, the advance has been great. The
Southern States cannot, of course, be en-
braced in this remark, although individuals
in favorableslocalities have, no doubt, added
considerably to their property The depre-
citation and loss consequent on the rebellion
are immense. In Virginia the valuation.
according to the census of 1860, was: Real
estate, S494, S9S, 327; and personal, inclu-
ding, we presume. the chattels human,
$5SS, ,2SS, ,35l. 1t was the fourth in wealth
among the States, and the second in per-
sonal property. being only exceeded in this
item by New York. The next census will
show wonderful shrinkage of wealth in
that great commonwealth, besides the mar
vel of halt its personal property being meta
morphosed into personal, responsible, free
people.

Important from Wilmington.

On the 18th, President johnson issued
an order removing Stanton from his Office
as Secretary of War, and appointing Gen.
Grant as Acting Secretary.
a rumor is current that the President in
tends to dismiss Secretaries Seward and
McCulloch. and Postmaster General Ran
DALI unless they resign soon.
Mr. Adams, United States Minister at
London, is spoken of as the successor of
Mr. Seward.
Moses Taylor, of New York, is mention
ed as likely to succeed Mr.. NJ Culloch.
Gen. Steadman, it is said, has been ten
dered the position of Mr. Stanton, and that
he is en- route for Washington.
The probable dismissal of the Cabinet of
fcers, by the President, originated in dis
agreement as to the policy of the dismissal
of Secretary Stanton.
1t is alleged that Secretary Stanton had
just received information of scheme for
the arming of military organizations in the
late Rebel States, with a view of making a
new assault upon the government. This is
given as the reason for Mr.. Stanton wishing
to retain his position, with a view of sup
pressing the conspiracy at once.
The rebel lawyers in Washington city,
held meeting to protest against the dis
missal of Bradley, Surratts counsel, from
the q. S. Court, by Judge Fisher. Truly,
things have come to a pretty pass, when
unrepentant rebels deign to dictate to 10y
al Judge whom he must permit to practice
in his Court.
Such is the tenor of the news received by
last night mail, which would indicate that
there was trouble ahead What the result
of all this 'muss' will be, it is difficult to
feresae. Time will tell.

between the President and Secretary Stan

kENTUCKY.-It is estimated that not less
than twenty thousand men who had been
rebel soldiers voted at the Kentucky cleo
tions last week. The usual amount of kill
ing of loyal men and negroes is recorded
along with the Democratic triumph of for
ty thousand. The following from a Lexing-

straight for negro suffrage, the equalization

denied seats will hold Convention of their
own-a black-and-tan Convention. without
distinction of color which will ask Congress

1t has come to light that the secret of the
Presidents enmity to Secretary Stanton is
because he was mainly instrumental in caus-

thus thwarted some pet and dangerous
schemes which he had information the
President had intended to consummate in
case of long adjournment.
