SAD AcclDENT.-On Saturday even-
ing says the.Petersburg Times. painful
intelligence was brought to our city that
DR.. Rives of Prince George county had
accidentally shot and killed his wife.
The particulars of this melancholy &C.
currence are as follows:
On Saturday morning as DR.. alves
was passing through the doorway of bis
residence with a loaded shotgun upon
his shoulder, bis wife called to him
and i'll turning suddenly to reply, he
struck the gun with such violence against
the door frame as to cause its discharge,
the contents of the gun entering the
body of Mrs. Rives, who expired almost
instantly.
DR.. Rives is brother Of the late Hon.
Timothy Rives, we'll known Virginia
statesman. About ten days ago he was
united in marriage to Miss Tucker OF
Prince George, the lady whose loss he
has so soon TO mourn. The affair is
truly sad one where few days ago
there was life and joy, now there is sor-
row and death. The bereaved gentleman
has the sympathies Of the entire COM
muulfy.

- 3aE PETERSBURG, March 10, 1862
Business during the past week has generally
been very quiet, not to say dull. The winter
trade 4, pretty well over, and the stock Of
spring goods has not yet arrived, except In
small quantities. Tt is the belief, however,
that our merchants viii lay In large supplies,
as the business during the winter has been
more healthy and satisfactory than for several
seasons. Another pleasant feature is that
planters are in easier circumstances.
Reeeipts Of cotton are running low, being
scarcely more than sufficient TO meet the home
demand. Though they are sttli In excess Of
what they vera this Time last year, It Ii not
at all probable they win aggregate as much
by the end Of the cotton year. Those OF our
merchants who have visited the planting dis
tricts represent the stock in planters hands as
nearly exhausted. Ise., ~ s-s i
1t is rather an anomaly that the price Of
cotton in this market should rule within such
a narrow margin of New York prices. Com
pairing the grades, indeed there Is no margin
at all; 1T Is just as high here as in any other
market. What Is termed prime, here Is the

spA1N.--Madrid March s.-There was a
stormy debate during the session of the
Constituent Cortes yesterday. The Repub-
lioan members made bitter attacks upon
the Ministry for their alleged nonarchial
proclivities. They demand that the Duke
de Montpensier be Invested Of his rank of
Marshal Of Spain, and accused the Pro-
visional Government Of endeavoring to
smuggle him into the country for the pur-
pose Of placing him upon the throne.
General Prim replied that the Duke could
not, with justice, be deprived Of his title Of
marshal.
Admiral Topete, Minister Of Marine, amid
great excitement, declared that Q kingdom
with Montpensier on the throne was pre-
ferable to republican marshal.
serrano made calm and dignifed speech
defending the Provisional Government from
the attacks Of the Republicans, asserting
the sovereign authority Of the Cortes, and
insisting that the determination of the form
Of government for Spain and the choice of
her future ruler should be left to the Con-
stitnent Cortes alone. He deprecated the
violent pressure brought to bear upon the
Cortes by the Republican party as impolitic
and unfair.
In the course Of the session. Figueralo,
Minister of Finance, expressed himself for
free trade, and advocated an immediate but
gradual reform in the customs by the adop-
ton Of compromise tariff.

on all the afternoon between Washington
and Wall street with reference to the vexed
question of the Secretaryship. In well-in-
formed quarters it is said the President is
anxious that a New York man Of business
experience should take Mr.. Stewards place,
and that several prominent fnanciers have
been sounded on the subject, but with what
result does not appear. Names might be
given, but in the absence of positive inform
alton their publicity would be more likely
to do harm than good. Dispatches were re-
ceived at Clew's and Brown Brothers bank

SIXTH DAYS pR0CEEDINGS.

THE LEGAL-TENDER DECIsIoNs.-The de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the United
States in Bronson against Rhodes, it is now
well understood, determines in effect that
the legal-tender act of 1862 has no applica-
ton to contracts made before its enactment.
1t is true that the Court might have put it's
decision upon the ground that the contract
in that particular case called specifically
for "gold CON-" but only two of the eight
Judges rested their opinions upon that
ground. Some criticism has been made
upon this decision, under the superstition
that it held the statute to be in part uncon-
stitutional. This is mistake. The Court
wholly avoided the question of the consti-
tutionality of the law, and placed its deci-
sion upon the ground that the law could not
be presumed to have retroactive effect.
We have little doubt that this decision
fogeshadows an ultimate determination that
the entire legal-tender provision is uncon-
stitutional. Indeed, we think that the Su-
preme Court is seeking, by this and similar
decisions, to prepare the country for its
final disposition of the whole subject. And
prudent men will hasten to put their bust
ness upon such footing as will enable
them to meet such decision without loss
