Gold Contracts Valid.

Ia pccneuacing the opinion of the Su-
r7cme C.uy: Of thr Ua;lad States il tie
gold contract case from 3 Gilmore, Chief-
Justice Chase OF MondAy, said
SIT wa: moi necessary il tic case or Bronson
vs. Eoiles, nnr is it necessary now. 20 decide
the question whether the acts making United
States notes LEGAL tender arc warranted By the
constii ltion. We express no opinion on that
poin:, but ssunc, for the present. tho coLsti-
tutionalliy o? those acts. Proceeding upon
this assump;oa, we find two descriptions CT
lawful money tsreenbacks aud specle) in use
under acts Of Congress, in either OF which
damages for non-portornance OF contracts,
whether made before or since The assage of
the currency acts, may be properly assessed,
in the absence of any diff rent understanding
or agreement between parties, but the obvious
intent in contracts for payment in coin to
guard against fluctuations in the medium OF
payment warrants the inference that it was the
understanding of the parties that such con-
tracts should be satisfied. whether before or
after the judgment, only by tender OF coin.''
The importance of this decision lies in the
fact hat the Supreme Court enforces gold
contracts. Whoever promises to pay gold
will be made to pay gold, notwithstanding
that an act of Congress makes greenbacks
q legal tender.

A War with England.

The language that has been used in this
country against the Alabama treaty with
Eoglaud, points, not to different form of
treaty, but directly to war and on this
question the Saturday Review (London)
says:
s'Yet it is incredible that any serious politi-
clan iu the United States should contemplate,
alter years of negotiation ending in the con-
cession of almost every American demand, an
utterly unprovoked resort to arms. It is. in
deed, by latent menaces that American diplon-
acy has succeeded in alarming tue timid por
ton Of the English community, includipes
office but there is limit to the concessions
which might be preferable to rupture. If
tho treaty is not ratified, there ought to be no
hurry in recommending negotiations. After
approaching to the verge of humiliation in its
anxiety for justice and conciliation, tho Eng
1ish Government has thrown upon the United
States the responsibility OF deliberately keep
ing the quarrel open. No great importance
should be attached to the willlul retention of
pretexs for war. Grave as the evils Of war
would be, it would be better for England to
face it at once than to submit to intolsrable
degradation. var gratuitously commenced
for the purpose of avenging on England the
recognition OF bclligerency which was simu,ta-
neousy accorded by France, and two or three
weeks later by every Europoan power, includ-
ing Russia, would be IN outrage revolving to
the m oral sense of mankind !; and ultimately

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-The
present signs of the times, says the World
Of the 31st ult., indicate that the Fifteenth
Amendment will not be ratified by ths
requisite number Of States. The Repub-
lican zeal in its favor has pcrceptably
slackened under a growing apprehension
that the negro vote in the South will DO
controlled, or at least divided or nullified,
by the Democratic party. Consistency
compels the Radicals to keep up showing
of supporting it; but if tho elections ia
Mississippi and Texas shall resemble that
in Virginia, and exhibit large numbers Of
negroes voting for Conservative candi-
dates. the Radical party will be glad to let
the Fifteenth Amendment "slide."
