Important from washlnsteu- seconsidcration

AupaFtant from Observation-Disclosures
Of tho Loyal Tender Dcolslsn.
Tho able argument Of Attorney General
Hoar before the Uaited States Supreme
Court for q reconsideration OF the legal
tender decision, which may be considered
as the action of the administration, has
produced the object aimed at. Our des-
patches from Washington inform US that the
Judges Of the Supreme Court, oil being pre-
sent, were in secret consultation yesterday on
this important matter, and that they decided
in favor Of reopening the question in hearing
arguments In the case Of Latham on the 1lth
of this month. 1t is reported that Eve Judges
were for and four against this course. Those
for were Miller, Davis, Swain, Strong and
Bradley, which includes the two new Judges.
Those against were Nelson, Clifford, Field and
Chief Justice Chase. The action Of the Court,
It Is said, caused good deal Of discussion
among members Of Congress Of both houses.
OF course the final decision Of the court can
not be known till after the 18th but looking at
the way in which the Judges stood on the
question of reopening the decision and at the
action Of the administration through the Attor-
ney General, there Is probability Of the de-
cision of tho Court being reversed by full
bench. 1t is Of great importance, as we have
said before, that the question should be brought
mp and decided on the broad Issue of
tho constitutionality Of the Legal Tender
act. Let us know definitely whether
Congress has or not the constitutional power,
not as war measure merely, but inherently
and fully under any circumstances, TO make
whatever 1t pleases legal tender. We
believe IL has this sovereign power--that 1t is
an inherent right Of sovereignty--unless
expressly prohibited by the letter Of the con-
sttution. The power to make anything but
gold and silver coin legal tender for debts is
expressly prohibited to the several States by
the constitution, but nowh ere is this forbidden
to the United States. Nor can we see that the
exercise of this power impairs the right or
validity Of contracts made before the passage
Of the Legal Tender act, unless, indeed, 1t
was clearly stipulated that debts should be
paid in SO many pieces or so much weight Of
coin. The Attorney General places the ques-
ton on It's constitutional construction entirely.
In his argument he says :-"Y0ur Honors
have not decided that this Legal Tender act
did not, as a matter Of construction-as a con-
sruction of the meaning of the act--apply to
contracts made before the passage Of the act.
II that were so IL would settle no very impor-
tant or great principle; but your Honors have
decided that it was not within the constitu-
tional power of Congress to insert that pro-
vision making Treasury notes legal tenders for
private debts previously contracted" What
tho Attorney General wants and what the
country wants, therefore, is a decision on the
broad issne Of the constitutional power of
Congress to make Treasury notes legal ton
der, and such decision viii cover all side
issues and settle the question finally.

THE ADVENTURES OF A COUNTRY GIRL.-
All the country girls ought especially to read
that story from the police records Of the advcn-
lures Of country girl who recently passed
two or three days in the city. She answered
matrimonial advertisement, was 30 drawn into
correspondence with a city sharper, came from
her country home under an engagement to
marry a man she had never seen, and was
thus lursd to her ruin. We hope not many
country girls ore 30 foolishly trusting.

The Coming Won,ap.

Tho passage of the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution of tho United States has had
ut least one beneficial effect 80 far as our po-
litical status is concerned in this country, to
wit, the clearing of the track for tho sixteenth
and as many other amendments as may be
deemed necessary and becoming toward
the attainment Of o liberal and be-
nignly comprehensive system OF repre-
sentation and participation both in the making
and the administration of laws. The woman
is inevitable, and she is ''coming" on tho
chariot wheels of woman's sweet wilfulness
and her irresistibly captivating appeal for q
chance to experiment among the rulers.
For some time past the sorrowfnl sisterhood
"Sorosis" has pined itself into melancholy
over strong tea at Delmonico's because of the
obstinacy or neglect Of their autocratic hus-
bands in not allowing them to organize among
themselves coteries Of female repeaters, ballot
stuffers and primary strikers. And this waste
and emaciation of womanly tears and womanly
beanty has as yet achieved no result what
ever beyond its corollary Of miseries. SO,
too, with the woman suffrage meetings in this
cty--they have dissolved and have been reor-
ganized three or four times, and it remained
for the sturdy women Of the West to irst carry
their little tinted paper votes to the polls, and
with lace handkerchiefs, wipe tears Of anguish
from their eyes in the jury box while deliber-
ating on the guilt or innocence Of q murderer
Of the sterner sex.
Now, however, there is q fitting opportunity
for the women throughout the land to show
their might, independent Of any Of these petty
organizations, by voting for candidate for the
Presidential succession Of 1872, and by in
ducina the men to vote, 'just for once" in
favor of woman for President. Mrs.
Victoria G. Woodruff, the lady broker oi
Broad street, independent Of oil suffrage
tea parties and Grundy associations,
proclaims herself as candidate fol
the occupancy -in-chief of the White House,
and asks it on the score solely that she has the
means, courage, energy and ability necessary
to contest the issue to its close Now there
can certainly be no objection to such com.
| petition ss this. 1t possesses the merits o
novelty, enterprise, courage and determine
ton, and but one thing is lacking to secure he
triumphant election. That one thing is {
sixteenth amendment, giving to womel
all over the land the elective fran
chise. Ono other thing will secure hel
success, and that Is spirit of chivair.
on the part Of tho men, which, If they vii
not pass sixteenth amendment. will promp
them to refrain from putting up candidat
! of their own sex. Women always take th
part Of each other, and If the women can b
allowed to vote Mrs. Woodruff may rely o.
rolling mp the heaviest majority ever polled i
this or any other nation. Her platform, whic
will be found in another column, is short
sharp, decisive and has the true ring in Il

WHOLESOME LEGISLATION. bill In re-

disposition in Albany to make other laws than

foreign companies, though they do business
here. Ey the proposed statute the laws arc

ONE OF THE YoUNa DEMooRAOY.-Ths soli-
tary democrat who voted against the new
Charter made himself unpleasantly conspicu-
ous. He drove people to hunt up his history.
They have nnearthed an indictment found
against him in 1860 for robbery committed in
a public store. This is pretty credential for
q member Of the Legislature. 1t is note
worthy, however, that the case was never
brought to trial, though, It is said, there was
abundant evidence Of guilt. The offender
was apparently too good democrat to 60 to
prison. II all that is stated be true, the same
man is now liable to punishment for the crime
of bigamy. There is ono point in the lcgis-
lators career, however, that the chroniclers
neglect-that is his history as a soldier in the
Army Of the Potomac. The grnmb!ers will
find one more interesting item II they will
investigate the circumstances under which
s'Colone" Murphy left the army.

AN INSANE MURDEREn.-1n the sketch that
the murderer Alexander has left Of his crime
and of the state Of his mind we see clearly
enough the lineaments Of a murder really COM
mittcd under the influence of impulsive insan-
ity, aud comparison between this and the
everyday murders, to excuse which the pretext
of insanity is caught up, may be profitable
study. Alexander makes no claim to be ex-
cused, even by the wife he leaves and whom he
appears to have loved, and does not apparently
dream Of insanity. He only knows that he
s'fought" long while against the impulse to
commit crime for which he had no motive.

MEXICAN AFFAIRs.-The Mexican candi-
dates for the Presidency are busy at work
scheming, planning and pipelaying for the next
Presidential term. Juarez is not yet tired Of
office. He desires another term, and is work.
ing for it. His Minister of State, Lerdo de
Tejada, is also ambitious to fill the seat occu-
pied by his chief Porfrio Diaz, too, like
Barkis, els willin' to serve his country as her
Chief Magistrate. How many more may take
the political field for the Presidential prize be-
fore the campaign closes we cannot with GER
tainty say. However, with Juarez, Tejada and
Diaz in the field the prospects for a """'u
campaign are very good.
