SPECIE PAYMENTS.

From the n. y. World
Our despatch from Washington on the 9TH,
announcing the probable resumption of specie
payments. gained the attention and provoked
the comments of the press throughout the
country. The general Impression seems to
be that it is possible to resume specie pay
ments with the next six months; and perhaps
no more pungent argument for the change
could be presented just now than that from
the N0tioH.
The Hon f. G. Spaulding. of Buffalo. the
reputed framer of the Legal-tender act, has
publicly declared that that act was intended
TO apply to the emergency of the war, which
has lapsed. and that its essential unconstitu-
tionality ought to render it dead letter in
this time of peace Chief Justice Chase, who
when Secretary of the Treasury, suggested
the greenback system embodied in the act is
now reported to be OF the same opinion. He
decided last winter that coin was still legal
tender as well as currency-that contracts for
coin were legally payable i'll coin.
Recently he decided that contracts in the
South during the war, payable in Confederate
currency, can be collected i'll SO much gold
as the sum called for in Confederate currency
worth in gold at the time such contracts
were made. These decisions pave the way
for the expected decision by the Supreme
Court that the Legal-tender act is uncon-
stitutional. If contracts made under the
Rebel Ie1al-tender act, Wnlcn Is now Qe-
clared null and void, can be collected in gold
then contracts made under the Federal Legal
tender act would be decided as collectable in
gold on the same principle, after that act
should be declared null and void That is,
in case of the retirement of the greenbacks
and the resumption of specie payments, all
debts previously due in greenbacks would
| still be due in so much coin as the green
backs were worth when the debts were in
| Cured
| SO strong is the impression that the Su-
preme Court aoW soon decide the Legal-ten-
der act to be unconstitutional, and that the
| Secretary of the Treasury will either antici-
pate or supplement the decision by the retire
ment, or funding, or redemption of the
greenbacks, that gold falls and greenbacks ad-
! vance in value. There are now in the Trea-
sury about one hundred millions of dollars in
| gold. The banks are glutted with gold The
export of the large cotton crop will be sue
ceeded by an immense access of gold from
| abroad. This gold in the Treasury lies idle
and unproductive. The surplus in the bank
vaults is drug, liable, however, to be en-
ployed at any time by gamblers in distracting
and ruinous speculations 1t would seem to
be the most favorable period for setting
these enormous and inert masses of coin in
invigorating motion through the veins of
| trade.

PROPHETS.
From the n. Y. World.

from he ". 4. H0rd.
Prophets appear to have "A mighty hard
time of it in this age of universal skepticism,
not only enjoying no honor in their own re-
spective countries, but having themselves
''blown upon as failures, if not 'frauds, E"
all over the newspaper-taking world. The
latest of these failures is Falb, who predicted
for South America those tremendous October
earthquakes and high tides which didn't
come. Falb will have to put up his shutters
now and paste on his shop door bill, $50
let. We are not acquainted with the ante
cedents of Falb; but it is just possible that
he may be the German savant who, in 1857,
made such startling calculations concerning
the comet known as Charles Quint, which
made its appearance in March or April of that
year lie predictedth that itwould come into con-
tact withthe earth some time in June following
and knock all mundane things into Massa-
chusetts hash. 1t didn't do anything of the
Sort though it frightened a good many aged
females into fits, and caused some thoughtful
persons to prepare their wills, as though testa-
mentary documents could be of any use in
the event of general smash-up, - good

OWNING UP AT LAST,


The Independent religious radical paper,
has leading article this week on the Lost
Battle. 1t boldly declares that the Republi-
can party lost the State on account of the
corruption in the party, and ''because the
leaders in this State had forfeited the public
confidence and exhausted the patience of the
rank and file.
OF the last Legislature, it says:--
'"rhe late Legislature was the most corrupt body
ever convened outside the City Hall PARK. The
Speaker OF the Assemby-who is rated higher than
his Fellows, because not suspected OF accepting pc
cunlary bribes-s, nevertheless believed to have
bartered the committee-placeS in his gift for votes
for his candidate fol United States Senator. His
committees, when formed were understood TO be
marketable, and the votes given by the two houses
for all sorts of Jobs
The State Committee also comes in for
abuse and the declaration that in its forma-
ton no regard was paid even to appearances
OF the city members of that committee, two
had enriched themselves, in the capacity of
Supervisors, by such schemes as the New
York Court House, and third was tainted
by his completely with the West Washington
Market and Fort Gansevoort jobs" But
with all this indignation of this religious poll
tical sheet we do not see any evidence, in
the returns of the election, that the Republi-
can party desires honest men for Office. Gree
ley, for instances, did not poll full party
vote in the State All those men who are
called corruptionists in the Republican party
ran ahead of their ticket wherever nominated.
Even one of the very Supervisors whom the
Ldpeadent grlnts about being on the State
Committee has the largest Republican vote
Of any other man on their city ticket. From
all this, we infer that the party prefers that
class of men.

DEGREES IN MURDER.

From the N. Y. Times.
A question of great importance in the prac-
tice of criminal law has been at last decided
bv the Court of Appeals. 1t is nothing more
than whether the greater includes the less in
dictments for murder. and it came before the
Court in the case of Keefe VS.. The People:
the appellant. upon an Indictment containing
only the single count of murder, having been
convicted of murder in the second degree.
The point urged was that the verdict and
Judgment entered upon it were erroneous,
because the indictment did not set forth that
al the time of the commission of the homicide
the prisoner was in the commission of a
felony. which is the statutory definition of the
crime of murder in the second degree.
The court, after an exhaustive examination
of the point presented has decided that
under the statute, upon trial on an indict-
ment for murder a conviction for lesser
degree of that crime is legal and proper where
the acts alleged and proved are the same,
although the Indictment may not state the
particular intent and circumstances required
bv the statute to constitute that lesser degree.
All that is requisite is, that there shall be no
material variation between the acts charged
in the Indictment and those established at the
trial
The conclusions of law and common sense
are for once identical The decision works
no injury to the rights of accused persons,
and will essentially serve the ends of justice.
Especially will it be of great practical benefit
to this city, where murder in the first degree
is a comparatively rare occurrence. while
homicides are every day events.

The power to make amend, and abolish
laws intended to shield the rights of legal
voters from violation by ''repeaters' and all
manner of illegal voters, has passed com
pletely into the hands of our Democratic poll
ticians. Hitherto they have simply stood OFF
and found fault with the efforts of Republi-
cans to achieve the desired end. Now they
must act. We shall be most agreeably dis
appointed if they shall honestly and earnestly
try to suppress illegal voting For every act
ahat tends to this result necessarily implies

AT the recent session of cur State
Legislature a law was passed authorizing
La Fayette county and the several towns
of La Fayette and Green counties, through
which the proposed road would run, to hold
elections on the 9th of April to vote aid in
the construction of railroad from Monroe,
Green county, to the western boundary of
La Fayette county. 1t is doubtful about
the propositions being carried, though the
Darlington Union takes strong ground in
their favor. The building of the road men,
toned would undoubtedly be great Pc
cuniary benefit to the people of La Fayette
county and the southern portions of Iowa
and Grant counties, in opening direct rail-
road communication with Milwaukee, and
giving US the benefits of the markets of
that city. As Iowa county taxed herself
enormously to build a railroad through La
Fayette county, we think the people of
that county would exhibit generosity for
past favors by voting to tax themselves
in the manner proposed.
