RECORDER HAoKErr yesterday dealt out TO
Michael Marley, brother of the notorious
Reddy the Blacksmith the justice he so richly
deserves for his completely in the Burke-Her-
nan shooting case. II is only by severe pun
ishment that the city can be cleaned of such
rascals-fellows who prowl the streets at all
hours of the day and night, and who are more
ready to give blow than exchange courtesy.

WOMEN's RIGHTS IN ENGLAND-LADY AM
BRRLY's PLATFORM Amberly, daugh-
ter-in-law Of Earl Russell, has come out
strongly in behalf Of Womsn's rights, and this
is her PLATFORM
1. Educational equality for women
2. Their admission 10 all the professions.
3. The same individual rights 10 hold property as
men.
4. Widows the proper guardians OF their children.
s. Woman suffrage and social equality
o. No legal subOrdinAtiOn IL marriage.
I. Equal wages for equal work.
A strong platform, this; and when in Eng
land an influential lady Of the aristocracy
takes hold of the movement it means some
thing. Meantime, in this country the women's
rights agitation, under the management Of
lot of old grannies in breaches, seems to be
dragging heavily, and the worst Of it is the
great mass Of our women think the movement
humbug, or they are too busy with the latest
fashions to care fig for woman suffrage.

EPIDEMIC DISEASES AND QUARANTINE. -
Cholera is raging at different points In Cuba
smallpox is very severe there, and the yellow
fever has made it's customary appearance.
This will be interesting news for persons who
contemplate trips that way in fIibustering
expeditions. But 1t is not without very
lively interest also to the people Of this city,
when we consider that great many mer
chants trading with Cuban ports are just now
raising a clamor for the relaxatioD if not the
abolition, Of quarantine. These rich mer-
chants, If they make a hundred thousand
dollars on sugar, as they often do in single
operation, or the same on coffee, can step
away nicely to Newport, Saratoga, or even
to Switzerland, and what then will they care
for the cholera their ships brought, which will
rage mostly in Roosevelt street? Not but
ton viii they care, taking their ease at
yevay. 1t is to be hoped that the quarantine
authorities will care as little for their noise as
they care for the public health. Their clamor
is for freedom to import disease the cry Of
the people is for vigilance in keeping it ont.

The nitro-glycerine which caused the very
destructive explosion at Worcester was SNUG
gled" into the car. Railroad companies natu-
rally refuse to carry this dangerous substance
knowingly. Express companies will not
receive it. All the ordinary means Of trans
portation from point to point over great dis
tances are closed TO dealers in this substance.
What is the consequence? Does any one sup
pose that il ia not carried because all these
people refuse to carry IL? II is only necessary
to reflect that II is not made at the many and
widely separated places at which 1t Is In COP
slant use to see the answer to this. IL Is con-
stantly struggled into the cars and. worse
still, upon steamboats,, perhaps, worst OF all,
upon ocean steamers. The first consequence
of this Is that 1t is not handled as such stuff
should be, and mere ignoranc5 Of the pre-
sence of the article gives II greater danger
even than 1t would otherwise have. The peo-
pie who send this substance abroad In this
way feel under the less restraint for this rea-
son--if it goes safely there is no inquiry into
the nature Of the package containing it, and
If it does not go safely then the whole pack
age and many others are 80 effectually de-
stroyed that 1t is impossible to identify any, or
trace the offending one to its owner. This gives
immunity from danger TO these persons, and
they evidently have no conscience in the mat
ter. There is no doubt that this substance, so
capable of causing great disasters, is con-
stantly and at all times in transit through this
city. 1t is struggled transit, Of course, and
all the more dangerous on this account. 1t is
known that 1t is usually sent through this city
packed in carpet bags, and the careless han
ding Of one Of these bags on car might at
any moment cost hundred lives. II Is neces-
sary that the authorities should investigate
this subject very closely, and that the law
should make the smuggling Of nitro-glycerine
into cars Or boats used for travel a felony, or
should at least attach to it such penalty as
may afford salutary example at any time an
offender shall be caught.

Legal Tender Case.

The Washington City Telegraph
ic Correspondence Of the 7th inst,
to the Cincinnati Gazette, gives the
following:
The great event Ofthe day is the
decision of the Supreme Court on
the legal tender case. The suit
came up from Kentucky on the
payment of a note made before the
passage of Legal Tender act
When the maker went to pay 1t he
offered greenbacks, which the bank
refused to take. He declined to
pay in coin, aud was thereupon sued
by the bank The Supreme Court
of Kentucky sustained the action,
and declared the act in question un-
constitutional. This brought the
case into the United States Supreme
Court, where it has twice been ar
.gued, and was to-day finally deci-
ded, and again in favor Of the bank.
Chief Justice Chase read the opin-
ion for himself, and Justices Mel
son, Clifford and Field, adding that
it was also concurred in by Justice
Grier before his resignation. The
Court holds, as WAS stated last
night, that the act is constitutional
in so far as it relates to contracts
made after February 22d, 1862, al
which date it WAS signed by the
President, but that Congress could
not constitutionally make 1T appli-
cable to contracts entered into pri-
or to that date. The Court, in other
words sustains the act, but declares
it is not ret oactive Justice Miller,
for himself, and Justice Davis
and Swayne, dissented from the
opinion ofthc Chief Justice, and
held that the act is constitutional in
its exact terms, and that green
backs are, as therein specified, Gle
gal tenders" in payment OF all debts
whether on contracts made before
or after it became n law. All sorts
of questions are Mt once raised as to
the scope of Cfa5e's dtcision.-
Thousan | Of fnotes & contracts made
prior to Feb. 1862, have of course
been settled in greenbacks, and in
quiry is made whether these settle
ments can be now reopened, and
whether the debtor can be com
PEELED to settle. Where green
backs were accepted without pro-
test or reservation, there can be no
such thing as reopening Of the eases.
All unsettled contracts entered into
before 1862 can now, on the prin-
ci lie laid down to-day, be enforced
in coin. Gentlemen who were in
The Court during the reading Of the
opinions say that Of Judge Miller's
was one of the clearest and most
'Orcible decisions ever presented.

Almost a Riot.

Rev. J. G. White delivered his
lecture on "Auricular Confession
at the Opera house last night to
large audience. The receipts at the
door we're S30S 30. This shows
that there were over six hundred
persons present, these all men.
There had been signs Of bad
blood during the day, and repeated
threats we're made against the lee
turer. 1t is understood that Bish-
op Rosecrans and other Catholic
clergymen, hearing of this, advised
all their people to remain away
from the Opera House, and com-
selled all to act quietly and make
no disturbance.
Such representations were made
to the Mayor as caused him to or
der an extra police force to the OPP
era House or to the vicinity there
Of There was no disturbance du-
ring the lecture inside the house,
but outside some fifty persons col
lected who showed a disposition to
attack the lecturer and his friends.
Mr.. White, at the close of his lee
ture, came down the front way, the
police keeping in his vicinity. The
crowd, who had been waiting in
front of the house, were all armed
with stones, and seemed ready to
attack, but at the order Of the Cap
tain of Police gave back and allow
ed the lecturer and his escort to
pass. About three hundred of the
audience who had listened to the
lecturer, gathered about Mr. White
as he passed up street and the OPP
party mingled to some ex-
tent with him, the majority, howev-
er, keeping in the center Of the
street.
The Mayor, Captain of Police
and other officers by their presence
and efforts, succeeded in maintain
ing quiet, however, and there were
no belligerent demonstrations until
after the crowd had crossed State
street. About the Post office some
one ordered "flre," and as Mr..
White passed Clarke and Farmers
hat store, a large stone was thrown
at him. This passed through the
large plate glass Of the window,
a hole over a foot in di-
ameter. Another stone was thrown
a short time afterward, this striking
Mr.. White on the shoulder but ef-
fecting no serious injury. He then
passed into the Neil House, where
for time there was much excite
ment, many Protestants becoming
rs much enraged as were the par
lies who had instigated and made
ihe assault.
The Police finally succeeded in
on the crowd to dis
1erse, and the serious phase of the
,ase disappeared.
The above, we believe, is fair
of the case. The author
ties exerted themselves to preserve
,rder, and succeeded better than
vas expected. The mischief that
vas done was by irresponsible par
ies--men who had becmoe infuria-
ed by what they considered a wan
on attack on their religious belief,
md who did not reason at all. Mr..
Whites friends behaved very prop |
,rly, and it should be said that
iome of the Police officers, who
ire Catholics, were as Jealous in
heir efforts to preserve order as
my.
The persons who instigated the
'ssault were, to say the least, very
'oolish Such persons should be
made to feel the severest penalty of
he law. o. s.. Journal, FEB. 9th.
