The Legal Tender Act.

The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday last decided the
case of Hepburn VS.. Griswold, carried
up from the Court of Appeals of Ken
lucky, and involving the constitution
ality of the legal tender law. Chief
Justice Chase delivered the opinion,
holding that a contract made before
the passage of the legal tender law
could not be discharged in United
States notes. The opinion is very
long, and discusses at great length the
power of Congress. 1t holds that
Congress had no right to make Gov
ernment notes legal tender for pre-
existing private debts. 1t does not
touch the question of contracts made
since the law was passed. This opin-
ion was concurred in by Justices Mel
son, Clifford and Field. Justice Miller
delivered minority report, which
was concurred in by Justices Swayne
and Davis, holding the law to be en-
tirely constitutional, and treating it
principally, as an incident to the wal
power. .,... .,.,

The / Bogus Blakeslee Admitted.

: Blakeslee, the bogus member from
bogus district, has been regularly
admitted to a seat in the Ohio House
of Representatives. The plain facts
in the case are these: The law as
signs to Paulding, Williams and De-
fiance Counties one member. They
elected that member; but Williams
8 County, in addition, chose an extra
man, who had not been apportioned
to her. He, therefore, had no more
right to seat than any other outsider
This will introduce great confusion
into our legislative bodies, for if coun
ties and districts can elect more mem
bers than are assigned them, they will
do it, and pretty time we shall havs
of, it. This outrage was, of course
+, consummated by direct party vote
the Republicans being for the intru
der, and the Democrats against him.

THE. Radical Rnmp has recently
gone through the farce of admitting
Virginia into the Union-Virginia, a
State that aided in no small degree in
the establishment of the Federal Gov
ernment. If Virginia was ever out
of9the Union, it is pertinent to in
quire how she got out. There are but
two ways in which that thing could
have been accomplished: The one by
her ordinance of secession, and if that
was legal, then it was crime to have
made war upon her to prevent her
from exercising her legal rights. The
other BY act of Congress, Tor which
there is no constitutional warrant or
authority, and which is therefore a
base usurpation. And the whole &C
ton of Congress of forcing upon that
State laws and institutions against the
will Of her people, is fraud.

Interest.

Strenuous efforts are being made by
the money lenders to induce the Leg
islature to modify the usury laws, so
as to allow the taking upon special
contract of greater rate of interest
than that now authorized. For that
purpose bill is now before the Cen
eral Assembly, allowing the contract
ing for 10 per cent, and we notice
that the Boards of Trade of Toledo
and Cleveland have recently passed
resolutions demanding the passage of
b law to allow whatever rate of inter-
est the parties may contract for. This
legislation is all in the interest of cap
ital; it is not demanded nor wanted
by the masses of the people. It would
be utterly ruinoas to their interests.
1t is the lengthening of the lever by
which capital ever presses labor. The
industrial interests of the country
have already upon their shoulders as
heavy a burden as they can bear, and
it is the duty of the Legislature to
foster and protect the productive in
dnstry of the country, which cannot
be done by adding to its already un-
bearable burthen. The arguments for
+" free trade in money" are speeious,
but they are untenable.
Money is the creature of legislation
and its uses and value are determined
by the supreme law-making power
1t is created as medium of exchange
and measure of values in CONNER
cial operations, and when its posses
sor employees it for the oppression OF
the needy, the law should step in and
protect the victim from the avaricious
greed of the oppressor. In all ages
these restraints have been found nee
essary, and, certainly, they were nev.
er more demanded than at the present
time. In the present unsettled con-
dition of our financial affairs, it is nc
time to be legislating to place the debt
or entirely at the mercy of the credi
tor class. The present rate of inter
est allowed by law is as much as those
engaged in the pursuit, of legitimate
business can afford to pay, and it il
as much as the capitalist ought to re
ceive. Itis labor that produces, no
money, and money capital is at thu
present rate accumulating faster thar
industry al.s v5 F,sljr4ase
People are talking about return tt
specie payments; some of our wis
and sagaeious statesmen think the ag,
ofgold is upon us, even at our:doors
and we almost imagine we see thu
bright metal shining through the in
terstices of silken purses even now
Gold is now at a premium of 2114 pc
4 cent, and if man contract to pay si1
per cent. upon money loaned one yea
from now, should we return to specie
payments by that time, he Weuld pa.
an equivalent ofsovertaOenty-seue,a pc
cent. upon the amount borrowed
That would be gross wrong. Thi
is surely no time to be legislating t.
give capital the absolute control owe
productive industry.

areduetion of $3,932, ,664 80 the past
month, and $50, 0,649, ,97l 90 since March

account altogether the S64, ,457, 800 of
bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad
Company, upon which the Govern
ment is paying interest semi-annually.
It is. certainly. gratifying to know that

A Big Business on a small scale.


The Legislature of Missouri has had
q Special Committee engaged in in
Yestigating the management of the
Penitentiary of that State. Their re-
port shows that they have one Of the
most successful farmers residing near
the penitentiary, in the person of the
Radical Deputy Warden of that insti-
tuition, that the world can produce.
In 1868 he cultivated about one and a
half acres form which besides support
ing his family in fine style, he sold to
the Penitentiary' Sl,2l5 50 worth OF
vegetables. The following, statement
from the report cfo the committee
ashowsthe quantity ofithe several arti-
cles sold from this EXTENSIVE farm:
