It's meeting NOW creates apprehension and

fusion it adds tGnfold to it. For some
years tho fuel for pplitoal conaugrations
has been mainly furnished BY, this body.
It has not only been Of no good to the
Union, but 1t has been an unmitigated
curse. An cool aud sensible people have
been sorry when Il met, and have re-

THE BOND QUESTION.

- The Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided that contracts made ID
Confederate currency ntthe time Wien no
other was in Use, will DO enforced for the
value, at date of contract, in United States
standard. This Is highly iinportuh. de-
eision. and Is founded upon the general
principle. ofequity. The Court believes
that there should DO a rcciprocity Of val
ues exchanged, and no more. Under this
principle, those who bought our bonls
when they were worth forty cents on the
dollar, are only legally entitled to the sum
paid in the general standard Of value. II
would beat great outrager on the part Of
the United States, to apply one doctrine to
private aud another to public indebted
ness, and We have no idea they will do SO.
lfthe Supreme Court will not enforce
debts at par. made in Confederate cur.
rency, how much less will they be Inclined
10 do II when made in United States eur.
rency. This decision has an important
heating on thu ltgal-tender issus, and

The Explosion at Titusville.


The effect of the explosion, q
few days since, near iTitusville,
Pa, when Q, ,000pounds of ganpow-,,
der, 1000 pounds of nitro glycerr
inc and 5000 of compounds went
of together, is described as as
tonishing. Titusville thought that
its time had come, and that petro.,
leum had forever collapsed. Ii
seemed a veritable crack OF doom
to them. Tho whole town was
shaken to its foundations, and the
people were prostrated all around
the street, Near the sceno OF the
tho calamitysth effect, was highly.
disastrous. For one hundred yal de
in every direction the earth was
torn and plowed up as in a newly
ploYed field. Trees o footin diam
eter were cut off and splintercd as
if by the lightning's stroke, and
those left standing were noarly de-
nuded of limbs. Heavy logs were
lifted from the ground wherc they
had lain imbedded for years, and
hurled an eighth of q mile over
tree.tops. Stones weighing from
ten to FIVE hundred pounds were
thrown over one sixteenth ofa mile
from the scene Of explosion. The
inhabitants near by experienced
sensations like those that attend
violent shocks Of earthquakes
Animals and fowls exhibited the
utmost terror, and fled in all direc-
tions, whilo many individuals were
thrown to the earth by the shock.
At one oftho magazines which ex.
ploded, several thousand pounds of
nitro-glyc yccrine, carefully packed,
were tumbled around by the con.
cussion but not exploded. Alto.
gether, this is one Of the most re-.
markable glycerine explosions re.
corded. Only one life was lost,
and that was of a man employed
at the magazine. Only o few
shreds OF his body were found.
