@rIt Is believed that the Supreme
Court has come TO a conclusion on the
sgal-tender question, but the decision
declaring the Law unconstitutional is
withheld for prudential reasons. The
Chicago Tribune asserts that ''Chief JUS
tiee CHASE, who took US away from
specie payments. is anxious I restore
the country to a coin basis; but thinks
he is managing the question rather as q
politician and fnancier than a jurist.
The decision last winter, that coin was
still a illegal TENDER was generally felt
so be a step towards resumption; and the
recent decision that contracts payable in
Confederate currency can be collected in
50 much gold IS the sum called for in
Confederate currency was worth at the
kline the contract was made, Is thought
70 be the declaration of aprineiple whose
logical conclusion will do much 10 sim
piify specie resumption. For if the Su-
preme Court is about to decide the legal
tender act to be unconstitutional, then
that act will be just as null as the rebel
legal tender act, and the nulIity will be
followed by the same legal results; that
is contracts made during the greenbaek
period will be payable in so much gold
as the greenbacks called for by the con-
tract are worth at the date II at the ma
turity of the contract"

pittsburgh Female College.

The present term of this sterling insti-
tuition will close on the Sd of December,
and the Winter term will open on the
morning Of the 9Th. We are pleased TO
learn that the term now drawing to .
close is even more prosperous than the
corresponding of last ear. A large
number of new pupils from the city and
from distant points are in attendance,
and the prospects for the coming term
are excellent. The generous outlay OF
the Trustees during the past summer is
meeting with a hearty response. The
buildings were never IN better condition,
and the Institution never stood higher in
popular esteem. The College is an honor
TO Pittsburgh and has gained for it an
enyiable reputation as a place for the
education of young ladies. Its excellent
and well furnished buildings, large and
accomplished Faculty, and It's superior
facilities for imparting a thorough, solid
and ornamental education; as wen as its
excellent discipline and high moral tone,
commend ii to all who have daughters 10
educate. 1t is in every way worthy of
its large and select patronage, and we
heartily commend It 10 our readers.

Florida.

Mr.. ii. AVERY writes from Jackson
willie, Florida, under date of Nov. Ist. to
the editor of the Asbtabula Sentinel. We
quote from his letter as follows:
Jacksonville was nearly DESTROYED
during the war. Since that time it has
grown rapidly. and is now the business
centre of the state. There are few good
residences, and a great many shanties
large and small. People are not obliged
to protect themselves by close houses, as
at the north, so they throw the lumber
together and call il a house. The streets
are very sandy. 1t seems ridiculous. TO
one who has been accustomed to see a
horse draw from half a ton to a ton. to
see a mule Juggling away at three or four
hundred weight. You plOd along through
the sand, and the principal objects of
sight, are negroes, mules, dogs and pigs.
There is in fact, nothing attractive about
Jacksonville except its climate and its
business.
\ good many of the business men are
those who came here with disease of the
lungs, some of them supposed to be far
gone with consumption. OF course some
invalids have come in the last stages, only
TO die. Some nave come and shut them
selves up in a close room, with a fire, and
wondered that Florida climate did not
cure them. 4 great many spend the
winters here who cannot live through q
northern winter. The rush is now COM
mencing. November and December
froSts will send down some thousands.
Rice, cotton, sweet potatoes and sugar
cane, are produced with comparatively
little labor, while the ships which are
constantly loading with pine lumber ut
the mills, sufficiently attest the worth of
the forests. Among the fruits, peaches,
oranges, lemons, figs and grapes, seem
to be indigenous.

n DIFFERENCE.

o let us see o II is that the city
papers are afforded at such low rates, for
their rates are very low, and furnish
reading material that in any other shape
would cost ten times rs much. The rea-
son is simply this: Outside Of the cost
Of white paper. ink and mailing, the city
weeklies cost the city publishers nothing;
while the entire cost OF type setting, press
work, paper, ink, mailing, office rent,
fuel, etc. is added to the cost of the cOun-
try publishers paper. The type is all set
up and paid for ON the daily paper of the
city publisher, and it is merely transfer
red to the weekly, while the pressman be-
ing hired by the week, receives nothing
extra on the weekly so that all the city
printer receives above the first cost of
white paper, ink and mailing, is so much
/ clear gain, and he can therefore make
more money by furnishing his paper rs
| low as Sl.25 than the country publisher
