EulOgy OF Horace Maynard on Thad
deus Stevens.

We clip the following comphm entary notice oil
the eulogy pronounced by Hon. Horace Maynard
in the House Of Representatives, on the late Thad-
deus Stevens, from the correspondence of the New
York Independent:
There were eighteen euogies on Thaddeus
Stevens pronounced in The House alone, Among
that eighteen there were lew men who, speaking
from the memory of long personal association, ad-
miration and affection for the dead, dealt worthly
with his name. Thus above all the commonplace
before it, rose the magnificent euOgy of Maynard,
of Tennessee. Terse, nervous, eloquent borne by
an electric voice 70 the remOtet niche OF the vast
hail. it held tie attention Of all from its first SEN
tence 20 the last. The man himself was not less
striking thsn his utterance TALL slender, with the
face of au Indian the long, straight black hair (;
the flashing black eyes the salow face; slow, i'm
passioned gestureall added 10 the effect Of an ora
tion which was a model in its kind"
1t is matter of pride to the people of this Con-
gressonal District, that among such talented
body of men, our own Representative occupies such
/ high position.

GREEsBACKs NOT LEGAL TENDER.-The following
extract from the proceedings in the House Of Repre-
there are Republicans who believe that greenbacks
are not legal tender:
Mr.. Spauldng, of Ohio made speech on the fnan-
cial question. He argued that the plan of paying the
bearing bonds Of the Government With United
States legal tender notes has no warrant in the Cons
tuition of the United States. He claimed that the
soundest dictates of public policy were opposed to any
further issue of greenbacks. -,
Mr.. Eldridge inquired whether he understood the.
gentleman to assert that the of Congress providing
debts to be paid in legal tenders was unconstitutional
Mr.. Spaulding repied-Most distinctly, and the su-
preme Court will so decide
Mr.. Eldridge-There is no difference between US on
that point.
