last, the Chief Justice, as the or
gan of the court, declared that
prescription was interrupted by
the citation of Aregno aud Cor
don, opligofs ias soEido with Marig-
ny in a suit on the notes sued
on" Mr.. Marigny was an in
dorser on said notes.
So far the jurisprudence has
been to the effect that, .sprescrip-
ton ia favor of the indorser Of Of d

If the decision in the case of

"IRREDEEMABLE PAPER Cur
RENoY. - Washington, Feb. "a
The following. is a resolution
which was adopted by the Senate
to-day:
ResoEced, That to add TO pres
ent irredeemable paper currency
of the country would be To render
more difficult and remote the re-
sumption of specie payments. and
TO encourage and foster the spirit
of speculation, to aggravate the
evils produced by the frequent
and sudden fluctuations of the
value of the currency, to depre-
ciate the credit of the nation and
to check the legitimate business
to settle down on safe and per-
manent basis; and therefore, in
the opion of the Senate, the ex-
listing volume of such currency
ought not to be in creased.
Col. Don Piatt hits the nail on
the head occasionally, to the great
discomforture ofhis radical friends.
Speaking of negro emancipation
he writes thus:
''The cheapest philanthropy is
that which frees somebody else's,
nigger. Had these slaves belong-
ed to us, instead of the South, is
there any one simple enough to
believe that we would have had
a war of emaneipationS Net
much.''
And if the war had ended
with no chances for loyal stealth q
would "we' have had any recon
structiOn measures7 Not much.'
