LEGAL TENDER ACT UNCONSTI
TUTI0NAL.

On the 7th inst, Chief Justice
Chase delivered decision on the con
stitutionality of the legal tender act,
which has been so long expected. The
case decided was that of Hepburn as
Griswold, carried up from the Court OF
Appeals of Kentucky, and was brought
to compel the payment in gold OF a
debt contracted before the war The
decision of the lower court was in favor
of the plaintiff on the ground that
contract made before the passage of the
legal tender act could not be disc charged
in United States notes. This dicision
was affirmed by the Supreme Court in
an elaborate opinion by the Chief Jus
tice, which was concurred ia By a ma
jority of the Court.
The dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice Miller, and concurred in by
Justices Swayne aud DAVIS. 1hls
opinion set forth that it was necessary
to make the notes legal tender in Or
der to facilitate the borrowing of money
to meet the war expenses, and that the
exigoncico of the case were such as to
form sufficient excuse for the exercise OF
this extraordinary power. A close
construction of Judge Chase's decision
shows that it only applies to contracts
made preexisting to the legal tender

FENIANs.-These pesky fellows, the
Fenians, are still lively when a good
chance presents itself. Last week a
large Fenian demonstration took place
at Mayo, in the western part of ireland,
when l, 100 men attempted the rescue
of some prisoners. They were unsuc-
ces8ful, however. but this and other
"outrages," as they are called, occur
ring in Ireland lately, go to show how
much truth there is in the reports that
come from the Government sources
from time to time, to the effect that
"order reigns in Warsaw"
Ireland is to-day as far from being
rcconciled to English rule as she was
before the passage of the Irish Church
bill, and the passing of = the Land Ten
ure Act will not have the desired
effect. The most of the Irish will
never be satisfied with anything short
of tull independence from the govern
ment of England. Could Ireland,
however, have her own Parliament,
giving her an opportunity of regula-
ting at least her own internal concerns,
it would, We think, be very generally
accepted by the Irish people as fair
basis of reconciliation.

AN ANTI-WOMAN WOMAN

Miss Emma Webb is prosecuting her
war against masculine women feme-
nine men" with great Vigor in Califor
MA. Here are specimens of her ideas
as strung together by San Francisco
paper:
Woman's brain is smaller, and her
whole organization finer than mans.
and IN this consists all the difference :;
God has given her delicaey as an evil
dence that she is to depend on the
stronger creature, fitted to endure the
shocks ofJife. Dependence does not
imply tyranny, else the mother may be
also tyrant over her dependent chill
dren; there is far less of this so-called
tyranny OF man than is imported. to be
reduced still further if the woman
would depend upon her beauty and
gfaces to persuade, instead of appealing
to the sledge hammering of the strong
minded, or rather strong-tongued, sister
hood. Woman may be the greatest Of
autocrats If she will, she has the power
II her sweetness and amiability be used,
Ter they make her autocrat of the heart,
and the heart leads the brain captive
affection is always persuasive, though
perhaps the gentleman would not thank
her revealing how they are managed
when they least suspect it. She quot

her humor most when she obeys.' A
SINGLE sweet refined woman can accom-

stockings. A self asserting or "strong-

OF every poet: ancient and modern.
One OF Arlstotle'S comedies satirizes

nal pitles the man "linked to a lean.

were cited In support of the same po-

to woman grace--one is to give sup
port and the other consolation peither
may abondon the spheres for which
are fitted. Man without woman to
love is without hope, and woman must
be able to inspire love in man. Milton
and Shakespeare were quoted to show
the necessary attributes of woman.
The selfmutilatism ofthe fighting Am
mazons was cited to show that it was a
revolt against nature to attempt to
usurp the prerogatives of man, and
that any other attempt must in the

Mr.. Jonathan Jenness, Jr, of Rye,
N. H., who died on the 1st instant,
aged II, was in some respects remark
able man. During his lifetime he had
never been over sixty miles from home,
never rode on the cars but once, never
missed State or National election
since he became a voter, and never
missed winding the eight day family
clock every Sunday morning for more
than forty years. The Portsmouth
Times says that he was consigned to
the grave wearing the same pair of
stockings that he wore when married,
fifty four years ago.

CUBAN AFFAIRs.-Seuator Carpen
ter delivered powerful speech in the
Senate of the United States Thursday,
February Sd, on the subject of our
neutrality laws, particularly as appli-
cable TO the case of Cuba. The speech
was made on the consideration of the
bill proposing to repeal the neutrality
act of 1918, and to remit the govern
ment of its independent right and neu-
trail duties, as determined by the law of
nations. The Senator has taken up
the cause of the Cuban patriots with
earnestness and devotion, and considers
that the insurgents in that country have
done sufficient to entitle them to bel
ligerent rights, if not recognition by
our Government.

ROCHEFORT.

Paris, and indeed all France, was in
a high state of excitement during the
past week, and at one time it was fear
ed that a terrible uprising would be
the consequence of Rochefort's arrest.
He declared boldly he would not sur
render himself and that to get him
they must come and take him. Roch-
effort was finally arrested and the ex-
element among the people eliminated
in several outbreaks Barricades were
thrown up by the people in some
parts of Paris to defend themselves
against the troops. The police at
tackled several barrie AIDES bus we've
driven off Soma of these. sallies
were attended with the loss of life.
Hundreds of rioters were finally ar
rested and Paris became again tran
quill, but the indignant feelings of the
populace were sufficiently demonstrated
to Napoleon By these furious pro-
ceedings.
1t is evident that the Empire is only
safe SO long as the present Emperor
lives and holds the sceptre. Nothing
but the strong force of arms main aims
him in his position to-day. The peo-
pie are rife for a change, and the
change will surely come at the En-
peror's death. The young Prince will
never be allowed 70 WELD the sceptre.
The daily and weekly press of Paris is
the agency that is bringing about this
change, for the press, muzzled though
it be, is power behind the French
throne that is fasa undermining its
foundations.
