Spain.

The Provisional Government of
Spain has in many things disappointed
the just expectations of that nation
and of Christendom. Men whose mis-.
sion was to be the Apostles of Repub-
licanism, and who started fairly upon
that shining road, have preferred to
turn back and become the champions
Of Reaction. But at last We have one
evidence that the expulsion of the
Bourbon has not been in vain; one IL
lustrious preof that Prim and Serrano
comprehend the logic of their insur-
rection. 4 Cable dispatch, forwarded
yesterday afternoon from Madrid BY
the special correspondence of the Tri
bune, conveys the authentic intelli-
gence that the Provisional Govern
ment will, on the assembly of the con-
stituent Cortes, submit to a Constitu-
tion of which the great feature will
the abolition of Slavery throughout
the Spanish dominions. Thus do the
Nations reap the golden fruits of our
bloody sowing. Whether Cuban re-
volt succeed or fail, Cuban slavery is
ended. The Brazilian and Portuguese
Governments must speedily follow the
benefcient example; and within ten
years from the emancipation of Amer
ican slaves it may yet come about that
not a single slave shall darken the
light of Christendom.- Net0 York

The Oregon Tax Decision.

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday made an important de-
cision, bearing on the Legal-tender act.
The legislature of Oregon, in laws levy
ing state taxes, provided that the taxes
should be paid in coin. Certain tax
NEXT, and pleaded that the Legal ten
der act made payment in greenbaks a
liquidation of sail debts, public and
private, except duties on imports and
interest on the public debt" OF the Uni
ted States. The courts of Oregon sus-
tanned the state law; and the case came
up an appeal to the Supreme Court in
Washington.
Its decision is to the effect that the
act making greenbacks a illegal tender
for all debts, public and private" does
not make them legal tender for any
payment that is not a debt. Taxes Lew
led by a state are not included in the
legal meaning of the word debt, as the
obligation to pay taxes rests on an en-
tirely different ground from the obliga-
tion to pay sums due by contract and
the laws under which the one class of
obligations are created and enforced
are wholly distinct from those which
apply to the other class of obligations.
The right of state to collect taxes in
coin is therefore sustained.
This is an important decision, In that
it shows the disposition of the Court at
least to interpret the Legal-tender act
strictly, as all acts interfering with pri-
Yate rights ought to be interpreted. The
most curious and sweeping result is to
destroy utterly the Pendleton doctrine
of payment of five-twenty bonds in
greenbacks. These bonds are redeem
able at the pleasure of the United States
after five years, bat payable only at the
expiration of twenty years from their
their date. They become a debt only
after twenty years and since green
backs are decided to be legal-tenders
only for that which is strictly a debt,
and not for other obligations, they are
not a legal-tender from the United
States for the pay of any obliga-
ton which Is only redeemable and not
yet payable such as the Five-twenty
bonds-M T. Post
