taught us the most needful of all lessons-how man

THE YERGER CASE IN WASHINGTON. the tenor
of the telegraph reports We were somewhat prepared
to hear that the Radicals at Washington were in high
dudgeon the able and lucid decision of Chief Justice
Chase in the Yerger case but it their conster
nation far exceeded our preconceived ideas. They are
not only open in their denunciation of the decision,
but say that it calls for immediate action the part
of Congress They declare that the immediate effect
of this deoia;or will be iuaa5~rats ef -;et
and bloodshed in the States of Mississippi and Texas,
which there will be no power to control or check. They
60 far, says Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald to declare that this action of the Su-
preme Court will result in the defeat of Davis in Texas,
and Alcorn in Mississippi that the rebel element will
be in condition with impunty to shoot down any
Republican voter and thus by intimidation and wanon
bloodshed completely control the elective franchise.
Of course they must have to for their
anticipated defeat in these States, and they make use
of this opportune decision. The correspondent
says that prominent Radical declared that the Su-
preme Court instead of being the strong right arm OF
the Government was paralyzed member which en-
barrassed the entire machinery of the Constitution.
That it has perpetuated treason protected rebels in
their persons and IN their properly Inc decision Is
looked upon as the most important since the Dred
Scott case involving the recent issues which Congress
set up in its legislation affecting the rebeous States.
The decision has brought down shower of Radical
wrath upon the Chief Justice and these expressions
60 far to involve prospective case of i'm
peachment upon the grounds that the Chief Justice
has been Systematically pervertng his high office to
political aims. 1t is probable that some effort will be
made to stave off the elections in Mississippi and Texas
until Congress have opportunity to take further

INDICATIONS OF ANOTHER PANIC IN NEW YoRK.-A
dispatch of the 5oth, from New York. says the ele-
ments in Wall street are all working to produce a
panic in gold on the bear side. The excess of gold
on the market is forcing the price slowly downwards.
Government bonds, in greenback quotations, de-
clning as gold falls. The fve-twenty gold bonds have
declined two per cent A panic in the Government
bond market is not unlikely. Not less than six mil
lions of ve-twenty bonds waiting to be sold upon
the market in exchange for currency SKIES. Govern
ment bonds to-day heavy and declined. The
demand is limited and sales of round lots be made
only below the quotations. The gold market is de-
moralised and shows symptoms of breaking at any
moment to very low price, There is no demand,
except for immediate wants. and speculation is extinct.

LEGAL TENDERs.-In speaking Of the legal tenders,
Washington correspondent says the Supreme Court
only partially decided the various cases before them

specific contract made for coin date anterior to
the passage of the legal tender act and to fulfill which
legal tenders had been offered and refused The main
question now before the Court is the consttutonay
of the legal tender act and is believed that on this
very important Issue decision will be made some time
in December. The case was argued at the first term
OF the Court. 1t comes up on appeal where the
lower court decided that the act in question is uncon.

AN EARTHQUAKE WAVE IN THE PAcIF1c.-The Coast
Survey Office Washington is in receipt of informa-

recorded on sef-regsterng guage, in San Francisco,
few days since. correspondent says, from this
occurrence violent earthquake in some distant part
of the Pacific ocean may be inferred, OF which news
will doubtless reach this country before Long. The
earthquake Of Smonda, in 1854 and the eEe which
occurred in Peru in August of last year, we're an
nounced in the way. These waves travel across
the Pacific at an average rate of about three
hundred and sixty miles an hour, depending on the
depth of the water along the track of the wave From
observations made occasions to which reference is
made the average depth Of that ocean has been found
to be about two thousand fathoms.
