THE UNC0NsTITUTIONALITY OF THE
LEGAL TENDER ACT.

We are told that the Supreme Cour
is about to render decision adverse /.

told months ago, that the Supreme
Court had already decided upon such
an opinion but were keeping it back for
reasons best known to the Judges. Ii
seems to US that there will follow mucb
immediate distress, upon the rendition
of such an opinion. Still, we believe
tina: the country, strong, full ofresources
and solvent as it is, is able to withstand
The Inevitable crash and that the
financial problem, of which the consli
tutionality of the Legal Tender Act is
part, will come to be settled, in good
time for the best interests of the conn

is not our organic law weak in one very
important point? Even while the PEG

THE METHODIST CHURCH South Says
the Nashville (Tenn.) Press and Times:
Hon. T. A. r. Nelson made some very
severe structures last Tuesday, in the Knox

Church South. He said that its secession
from the NJ. E. Church in 1874 was the en-

ded that he was fearful that if the Southern
Church is continued as a church organiza-

SIR On nv return home from the ses-
sion of November l0lh, find nearly a
| hundred Democratic papers from all sections
of the Union, sent by my friends, contain
ing vile and scurrilou' speech against for

1854 or 1855, and which appears to have
been published simultaneously and by con-
cert, North and South, East and IVES t, in
the closing weeks Of the recent canvass.
need not refer to this wicked and malicious
libel, now that the election is over, were it
not that, having been so extensively pub
lished, from Maine to Nebraska and vouched
for as authentic By editors who were sup
posed to value their character for varacity,
some earnest persons Of ona party or III G
other, whose gnod opinions | value, mig lit
suppose il possibly true.
Allow me. therefore, 70 say, as did pub
licly in this State last month, when this !
caIumny against me first appeared. that il
is, in every word and SYLLABLE, 4 forgery
nor anv ether year, ard that the vulgar and |
scurious language embodied in it never fell |
from my lips, nor were written by my pen,
in that or any other connection, On that or
any other theme.
Precisely this same speech was printed
by the Demrcrrtic papers i'll this State
number of years ago. and then attributed to
Mr.. Wilson. who was Republican cand
late for Congress; but, having been thus
lsed with effect in one campaign, it was re-
'amped in the recent canvass with my name
attached to ii. BY the same editors, every one
II whom knew that it was impossible for
ne to use such vile language in speech On
nv subject.
1t will doubtless be used against some
thcr Republican candidate hereafter and
ave felt it, therefore, duty to expose its
history and its falsi,y. Years, truly.

CHICAGO, December, ia grand re-
union of army officers took place at the
Opera House tonight. The Opera House
was crowded to its utmost capacity. Generals
Grant, Thomas, Sherman, Schofeld, and
many other distinguished officers, occupied
the stage. General Thomas presided, max
ing brief remarks upon calling the meeting
to order General Sherman delivered the ad
dress of welcome. General W. II. Belknap
delivered the Grafton for the Army OF the
Tennessee, General Charles Craft for the
Army of the Cumberland, General J. D. Cox
for the Army Of Ohio, and General William
Cogswell for the Army Of Georgia. Each
army held separate gatherings to-day for So

Od1 pOAbVI UIGlu D1uu6Fs
Our readers have before been informed, that
the construction OF a machine for grain bind
ing has been in progress, and with good pros
pect of ultimate success by Mr.. Carpenter of
Madison. The machine was nearly com pleted
last spring, but owing to some unforeseen con
tingencies, 1t was not put to the test until
rather late period of the present years. har
vest. The Madison Journal witnessed trial
of the machine short time since, and gives
the following account of 1t
"A ''patch'' was marked out, cut and bound
IL short time, missing but a very few bum
dies, which only failed Of being bound on ac-
count of the excessively tangled condition of
the grain. The bundles seem to be well bound
and dropped on the outside of the machine in
good order.
Two or three alterations, of minor import
ance readily suggested themselves, which will
be promptly made, when, it is believed the
machine Will rank as revolutionary agent in
agricultural affairs. The inventor would give
large sum of money for a field of standing
grain at this time, in the full belief that he
could go through" 1t under flying colors, with
out hlndrance; but, for that, ne must wait
another year. His machine is, no doubt. on the
'home stretch" OF success, and we hope the in
vente1 will make his million in greenbacks as
a reward for his energy and genius. With the
success OF this machine, the farmers OF this
country can well afford to contribute fortune
to him who invented it, and save fortunes TO
themselves from its use. t&tt
We congratulate friend Carpenter and all
the farming community upon their future
prospects. And above all, we congratulate
our city in the just pride it must share, in the
local glory ana interest it would achieve in
the final success of the great invention of the
day. When the farmer can cut and bind hia
grain with only the aid of driver, he will be
independent, and can secure his harvest earli-
er and better than by any other process and
the saving in grain and labor in few years
Will go far towards the payment of the nation
al debt.

The above table undesignedly supplies a
fair test of its own accuracy. The Times, be-
ing an Illinois paper, does not claim Illinois
for Seymour, but does claim Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Missouri and Wisconsin. The
three first named of these States hold prelim-
mary elections in October. If, now, any two
of them should go for Grant--nay, if Pennsyl-
vania alone should go for him-Seymou is
beaten on the Times own most lberar' fig
ures. And if we should loose two OF them,
and carry Ohio or Indiana alone, Missouri and
Wisconsin Doth morally certain for Grant,
will give him a majority OF the electors.
YET we do not believe, nor wish others to
believe, General Grants election certain. We
would have every one realize that the election
is not yet decided-that the Republicans can
win if they work, but must lose if they are
needless or apathetc. We hope to carry
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana in October,
but by small majorities, such as will animate
botL parties to more determined efforts in No
vember. Our Indiana friends talk of large
majority IN that State; we shall be content
with a small one, We do surely hope to carry
this State, but know well that hard work is
required to do it. Friends OF Grant ard Col
fax do not believe we shall win easily |;
for, without strenuous effort you can
not win at all. But work on in assured con-
vlction that victory is within your reach, and
scan the above table as proof of it.
The New York San independently publishes
the following table showing the States which,
in its opinion, will give majorities for Grant,
