and that the subsequent resigna-
ton Of Judge Grier reduced it to
one; still it was the decision OF
the court. and Congress has no
| power to reverse it. The appoint
ment of two new justices, whose
views are known to be hostile to
the decision, may yield a reversal
of the decision; but if the Su-
preme Court of the United States
may be 'packed'' like ward meet
ing for the express purpose of
securing certain decisions, it
would be better both for the sake
of decency and for the sake of
justice to abolish the tribunal
entirely.
But there is one view Of this
question that the champions of
congressional omnipotence seem
to have overlooked. They claim
for Congress the power to make
a creditor accept deprecated pa
per in payment of a debt con-
tracted in coin-that is, contract
ed when the. only legal tender
was coin. The deprecated paper
may he worth 80 cents OH the
dollar; it may he worth so cents
on the dollar; it may be worth
only ten cents on the dollar; it, is
all the same. If Congress has q
right to make it a legal tender for
pre-existing debts, the creditor is
bound to accept it and pocket his
loss without a murmur.N What,
then, is to prevent tho applica-
ton of the same principle to the
holders of the national debt? If
Congress may impair-the obliga-
tion of a thousand contracts, why
may it not impair the obligation
of one more7 IF it may compel
ordinary creditors to accept pa
per for coin, why may it not COM
pei the creditors of the govern
ment to do SO, too7 Ifit may de-
.stroy faith between private citi-
zens, what is to prevent it from
destroying faith between the gov
ernment and it's bondholders 7 It
is true, the payment of tho ma
tional debt is '@secured'' by an
amendment to the constitution;
but when Congress has become
omnipotent, who is to sssecure"
the constitution itself from it's
wanton violations7

From the N o. Bulletin
The Question of Sending Yarns In
stead of Cotton Abroad,

Representative G. w. Buckley,
of Alaban". is urging the Com
mittee Of Ways and Means to re-
port a special bill for the admis-
sion without duty, for one year,
offthe foreign machinery used in
making the English descriptions
of yarns. The planters Of his
district, he states, are ready to
try the experiment at their own
expense of using this machinery
to convert their cotton into yarns
for the, European market, only
asking the Government to put on
the free list for one year an article
iot made in this country, not i'm
ported, and which consequently
yields nothing to the national
revenue. In this behalf it is ar
gued that American yarns as now
made. hard-twisted and unfavor-
able to softness and adaptability
to dyes and prints in. the woven
fabric, cannot compete with the
English yarns which are spun in
a manner especially designed to
give them these qualities. 1t is
admitted that American yarns
produce a stronger and more du-
rable. CLOTH But, nevertheless,
the English yarns, producing a
cloth of less weight and body,
and of less strength and durabili-
ty, are preferred, because "the
consumers of the English yarns
are the people of the Oldest ma
tions in the world, devoted to old
notions, fast fixed in pcculiarities,
and no discrimination in price
will induce them to encourage
innovations upon the groove of
CUSTOM" Hence it is inferred
that the Americans "must cater
to the tastes of the old world in
this regard, andin order to do this
they must adopt the peculiar
machinery used in England"
Now the two things to be set
tied are these: Whether Southern
cotton producers can manufacture
in their climate and with the la
Dor at their command, such yarns
as the English spinners furnish,
and whether, this assimilation
accomplished, they could compete
with old, experienced and fully
equipped spinners for the supply
of the yarn market of Europe and
Asia. The prospect Of doubling s

ming it at the place of production
and of receiving for what they
sell for foreign consumption,
s4OO, 100000, in place of $780,
100000, is we'll calculated to cap:
tivate their imaginations and
arouse them to enthusiastic effort.
But. however dazzled by this
prospect, they are for the most
part too practical, we take it, to
overlook the sober matter of cost
on which the whole question of
the enterprise of manufacturing
yarns in competition with Eng
1ish spinners must ultimately
turn. If the cost of converting
the raw cotton into yarns at the
place of its production should be
found to leave a smaller margin
of profit than is left by the cost
of producing the raw cotton, it is
idle to- suppose that planters
would transfer any considerable
part of their capital and labor
from the latter industry to the
former. 1t is very desirable, be-
yond doubt, that the South, in
addition to being the forem ost
cotton growing country in the
world, should also become a great
seat of cotton manufactures. But
we fear that such a consumma-
tion will never be realized until
both cotton and labor in the
South are much cheaper than
they now are. Meanwhile those
who can afford to put the ques-
ton of competing with English
spinners with their own machin-
cry to a practical test, should be
to try the expert
ment. If successful in any mark
ed degree, it would attract to the
South from the North and Europe
capital, a species of enterprise,
and class of skilled labor that
would not otherwise come.

FROM NEW FORK
NntionnI unItnrinn Conference

New YORK, Oct. 19.-The National Unitarian
Conference opened its sessions this morning at
the Rev. Mr.. Hepworth's church. The attend
ance was unexpectedly large, and included
many of the most prominent clergymen and
.aymen of the denomination. An hour before
proceeding to business the Conference was oc-
cuped in devotional exercises, after which the
preliminary arrangements for organization
having been effected, the Rev. DR.. Bellows read
the annual report of the National Conference
The document proceeds to review the work
and results of the past year. 1t is stated that
the local conferences are all prosperous and in
creasing in activity. The councils recommend
a stated tribunal for the examination of all
ministers desiring to come to this from other
denominations, and that the two theological
schools also offer six months gratuitous nstrue-
tion to all corners from other sects. The pro-
posed Unitarian Church in Paris has been given
for the present into the hands of the one already
existing under the Rev. Mr. Cockerell. DIR.
Bellows, in passing, said that France now, for
the first time in her history, enjoyed religious
liberty, and the same fact was now true of Italy
since the downfall of the Pope. 1t therefore
becomes our body to watch the movements of
the free Protestant ministers In Europe, aud
the council recommends a delegation to the
Protestant Veren soon to meet in Berlin.

Unitarian church at Washington, ID. g., which

The fall OF Strasburg became known In Paris on
Sunday. A proclamation, dated Hotel de Vile, and
signed by all the ministers, was issued on Monday

declaring that the siege had only drawn closer the

enactment that since the siege OF Strasburg the
