about nine o'clock that morning, and was
burning extensively when our informants

THe LEGAL TENDER MISUNDERSTANDING
INsISUATIoSs.-Th Legal Tender act was
lately adiudged. by the Supreme Court the
United States, not binding, as TO obligations
incurred prior to its PASSAGE. The question
had been considered with deliberation
WORTHY of ITS grave importance, had been ar
gued in various forms no less than six times
before the court, and bad been held under
advisemen. nearly or quite two years. 1t was
fnally decided hv full bench. five out of the
eight Judges Ito which number the court
was then limited by law) uniting in the opin-
ion of the Chief Justice. II ever an opinion
of this highest judicial tribunal was entitled,
by reason of care in its formation or delibera-
lion in It's utterance+ 10 the respect of the
whole country, this one is.
Since this decision was announced, changes
in the composition Of the court have placed
two new Judges, fresh from the practice of
their profession as advocates, upon the bench
Already il is announced that the carefully
considered opinion of two months ago is to he
reconsidered on new test case, and decis-
ion forced within the single month left for
the present session Of the court. We make
no objections. The Supreme Court has not
been wont TO make haste in displaying such
contempt for it's own adjudica.ions but that
is. in large part. its own concern.
Two things, however. We have a right to
demand, and the issue is of such momertou
importance that we shall take good care that
neither be overlooked. This question large

the trial. II raises questions lately much

insist that M one fresh from the bar can, az

CONFESSION OF BRIBERY.-A speaker at the
mortgage tax meeting, eld in this city on
Saturday night. boasted that he had paid the
lobby $50. 600 fnr their influence in behalf OF
the bill TO abolish the tax, and declared that
five votes had been secured bv him at cost
of ., 900 each. Tho same person declared
that others beside himself had expended large
sums in the same manner. Astonishing as
il may seem. the speaker claimed public cred
it for his confessed bribery, as for a virtuous
act. Ii his statement is true, it should have
the attention of the next Grand Jury. As it
was denied by other speakers, perhaps it
would be no more than just to afford him a
legnl opportunity to prove it. Virtue ought
not TO GO without its reward.-San Francisco

the rebellion, and England. ever slow to par

long and weary exile. Among the residents
of this State who were connected with the
rebellion was Samuel Washhurre of Fort Ed

he has not seen since early manhood. He
