A NOTEwo FACT The Meadvilio
RcpuJ3iela has the following trui3m, which
ought to be published in every journal in The
land: If drunken nun could, in the
midst of his inebrety, be made conscious OF
what contemplate fool he makes of himself,
it would at least shame him into moderation,
+ not into a total rejection of the Intoxicating
cup. drunkard does not realize his own
degradation, for the reason that. at the time
The degradation is Mt its greatest depth, the
'enses are stepped IN obscurity."

Cold Contracts pronounced Legal

The legality of gold contracts has
been affirmed by the Supreme Court
of the United States, and Congress
relieved from taking action on the
subject. The decision was announce
ed on the 10Th inst, in the case of
Brown, executor, ct al VS.. Rodes.
In this case mortgage was made to
secure payment Of 81 500 in the State
Of New York, in 1851, and it was
provided that the money should be
paid in coin, the legal money of the
United States in January, 1865.-
Tender was made in treasury notes,
y inch was refused. and this action
was brought to enforce such payment
and secure ratification OF the mort,
gage. In pursuance thereof the court
OF New York held that the tender
was Il discharge Of the mortgage, and
decided it to be cancelled. The Sup
RENE Court now hold that there are
two descriptions Of lawful money 10
circulation, both sanctioned by law,
ana both i legal tender. That, in
view Of this fact. contracts tor pay
ment must be enforced, and, where
coin is provided to be paid, judg-
ments should be Tor such description

The Lexington (Ky.) Statesman
speaks of Andrew Johnson's guber,
material prospects in tennessee az
follows:
'Tke Republican papers in Ten,
nessee don't seem to think that Andy
Johnson will run any better for
Governor Of that State than did
Emerson Etheridge, 1t would be
strange, indeed, if he did. What ffts
tie strength Andy possessed while he
held all the patronage of the Nations
al Government in his lands, will at
ter the 4th OF March, be greatly
diminished, and he has not SO acted
since 1865 as to give the people of
that State good opinion of either
his political or moral character, and
50 we judge he will not be hard
man to beat. East Tennessee, where
bis great strength used to be, is al
most unanimous against him now.
and his deceitful conduct 10 the ne
