DIGG1sG Down WAhL.--The Enquirer
sees in advance that there is a position
which the opposition to Radlcallsm Ill IL
ginia must occupy in order to win when
the great battle of 1872 is fought, and it de-
clarcs that it means to occupy that position
for Virginia right away.
Well, we have no objection. Occupy the
ground If our brother thinks it necessary,
bv all means let him move forward, grand
gloomy, and peculiar but, after all, may
we ask what the opposition" which he sees
in .advance" is? The ground on which
the battle Of ID must be fought will be
"oppo<ition to Radicalsm in Virginia."
and us we have formidable army holding
it at this very moment we beg leave to ask
what possible good can result from getting
the right wing i'll quarrel with the left
about the color of the facings which they
wore on their party uniforms ten years and
more ago: This may be what our friend
calls cntrcnching," but to our unin-
structcd eyes it looks more like digging
down Il wall than throwing UP q breast

E DECISION oF THE SUPREME COURT.
The Supreme Court has decided, as will
be seen by reference to our telegraph
summary, that the public debt cannot be
paid in legal tenders; that the issue of
legal tenders was only justified as nec-
essary war measure, and as that neces-
sity has ceased, Congress cannot consti-
kutlonaily authorize further issue of
legal tenders. Thus is another favorite
hobby Of the Democracy knocked in the
head. Indeed, Democracy has a hard
row to hoe. Everything goes against
them. And now, when they turn to the
Supreme Court as their last and only
hope, they are again disaI pointed. With
this decision, their last remaining plank
payment in legal tenders-is broken
to. pieces. The Democrcy of Oregon
must either come up to the honest stand
point taken by the Republican party
the payment of the public debt in coin
-or, in the event of pledging itself in
favor of reputation, lose the votes of
the honest portion of the party, which
will sink it lower than any party ever
sank on this continent
