reau in Kentucky, this morning had a

BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.
Among important cases now before
the Supreme Court is that Of Willard VS..
Taylor. In 1854 MIR. Taylor agreed to
convey to Willard, at any time during
the coming ten years, the buildingknown
as the Mansion House adjacent to VII
lard's Hotel, for a specified sum. After
the breaking out of the war, Willard de-
ciared his readiness to accept the prof
fered terms, and rendered his first pay
ment in green5aeks. MIR. Taylor de-
manded gold, and Mr.. Willard 0
seeks to hold him to the performance Of
his contract on the ground that green
backs are q legal tender.
SPECULATION AND NATIONAL BANKS.
In response to the inquiry of the
to-day, the Comptroller of the Cur
rency says lie has reliable information
that the National Banks are not in the
habit Of Ioaning their money in fancy
of fictitious values. He further
he is not able to reply affiirmatively
that be knows the officers of the banks
are not engaged in speculative operations,
having no authority under the law to
investigate private or personal transac-
Of bank officers; but a common
prudence on the part Of bank directors
md stockholders would forbid the reten-
ion in Office of a person so engaged.

But the Fsrald truly SAYS


They are doing the utmost to make
the ignorant and degraded blacks Of the
South 3 controlling political element in
the Republic. Who ever heard Of any
thing more inconsistent OF monstrOus q?
Such conduct seems like insanity, and
could hardly be credited were there not
examples in history OF q similar charac-
ter. The JacObius in France shed rivers
Of blood ia the name Of humanity and
equality, and the Puritan ancestors Of
our Jacobins Of the present time were
not less cruel and prOscriptive in the
name Of religion and truth. The Radi-
cal reyOiutionisis Of France set
Up q strumpet TO represent the
Goddess OF Reason and commit
ted the fOUlest deeds under the
pretention Of progress and a higher phil
osephy. 1t il the same in ali countries
and ages under evolutionary R~sdicalism,
whatever form il may take. 1t is so
now with our niger wOTshippers aud
radical revOlutiOnists. Passion, fanati-
cism and political ambition have sub
verted reason. Everything must give
way before their intOlerant dOgmas. Let
the glorious Institutions handed down to
US BY the fathers, this white mans gov
e~rnraent, SO full Of glory and happiness
in the past and the future Of our grand
republic, perish for the sake of an IRA
tiOnsl sud impractiCabie theory. That
is the policy of the radical Republicans.
That is the cause of the trouble between
the President and Congress. That is the
great issue before the countryside issue
to be decided in the next Presidential
election,

Tipsy Senntors--The .G0d and
@ Morality Party. ~

A Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Commercial writes rs follows:
''Mr. Sprague, Of Rhode Island, caused
q little sensation, about onss o'clock, by
insisting on his right to the floor. He
finally made himself audible enough 10
say that he had a petition from has con-
stitaents, aoho aoere poor, and had no one
to represent them on this floor. After
this surprising declaration, a Senator con-
Quoted him to an adjoining ante,room.
GA strong movement is on foot to in
duce Senator Yates to resign On account
of intemperanee. Members and citizens
from Illinois have taken part in it, and
believe that it will be successful. The
Senator has been in his seat very little
this session. He is quite i'll to- day" 5af
There was good deal Of truth in the
declaration of the tipsy Senator that his
poor constituents had no one to repre-
sent them on the floor" The remark
could also be extended to most Of the
other States. The Senate, as a body, is
in the interest of the taxpayers. The
'sGod and morality" and 'sallthe deceney
and sobriety party, is now admirably
represented BY Senator's Sprague, Yates
and Chandler in the Senate, and by that
Presidential candidate whom Brother
Tilton, of the New York (RadicaD In-
dependent, SO graphically describes as
tottering along on Pennsylvania Avenue
on Sunday, just as Church let out on Sun
day afternoon.

A Republican No Longer.

A correspondent of the Troy Press
gives the following incident:
democrats are not alone in their dis
gust and indignation in regard to the re-
cent tyranpical and revolutionary usur-
pations of Congress. The bills establish
ing Old Jeff's doctrine of secession as
law, appointing Gen. Grant dictator in
place of jeff Davis removed, and depri-
wing the Judges of the United States Su-
preme Court Of, their powers of construc-
ton and decision, meets with the appro-
val Of but few in this vicinity, and these
the extreme Radicals. A gentleman
called here the other day, and after read
ing the bills threw down the paper in dis
gust, and gave vent to his feelings in the
following significant language: 4 have
been Republican ever since the forma-
tion of that party, but l am not Repub.
licaniany longer Other similar express
sions might be quoted, but this straw is
sufficient to show which way the wind is
here."s

Cut Her Lacers.

A newlymarried couple were lately
present at revival meeting in this State,
and during the exercises, from some cause
or other, the bride tainted. Intense ex
citement followed, in the midst Of which
an old gentleman. noted for his antipathy
to tight lacing, general hardness of heart
and bad habit of suffering, cried out at
the top of his voice to the distressed
husband, who was holding his fainting
wife lin his arms: s'A-a.ron, damn it,
m man, take ont your knife and c,c-cut
her lacersl" A general roar of laughter
followed, even from the most sedate, but
the new-made husband adopted the pre-
scliption on the instant, and with success.
