TIE Radicals are in somewhat Of a
quand2Ty as TO what shall be done with
Georgia. The ultras would like to have the
board swept clean, 50 they can get all the
offices, but the more conservative and law
abiding are not prepared for such stepS
Quite a number Of Radical politicians
from that State are now in Washington
besicging Congress and the President to
favor their respective views. The most
interesting question which arises from this
second reconstruction of the State, is
whether the Senators elected under the
first reconstruction hold over and are en-
titled to their seats. While it is not be-
lieved shat the Reconstruction Committee
will go so far as TO attempt to judge Of The
qualifications of persons elected to the
Senate, it is understood that the more
Radical members go beyond that question,
and propose to treat the new Legislature
as created by Gen. Terry the same as if
the State had not been recognized once be-
fore. In that event, Of course, it will be
maintained that new Senators must be
elected. 1t is understood that this is to
done in order to give Foster BlodgCtt
chance to get into the United States Sen
ate. This reconstruction Of reconstructed
Georgia means simply to provide places
for Radicals who cannot get into Office

rnE Legal rENpEn AoT.

We print elsewhere very fun synop- |
sis of the opinion of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the legal tender
case. The case came up from Kentucky
and grew out of tender of greenbacks
in payment of a note executed before the
passage of the legal tenderact. This was
refused and gold demanded. A suit was
entered to recover the gold, and the Court
of Appeals of Kentucky decided that the
maker of the note must pay gold, and
that the legal tender act was unconstitu-
tionaL. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
on Monday Chief Justice Chase delivered
the opinion of the Court, in which
it was held that the act is constitu-
tional, but does ADt apply to
contracts made before its passage. The
opinion of the court is that the legal ten
der act is, to a certain extent, war
measure, and that it cannot be retrospect
i've in its scope, though it is held to be
constitutional as to contracts made since
its passage. According to this decision,
all contracts entered into before the pas
sage of the act can be collected in specie.
| This decision created considerable excite
ment in money circles in New York.
| There it was regarded that the decision
makes some hundred of millions of rail-
road bonds, and an immense aggregate of
State and city bonds payable in coin, both
principal and interest," the interest OF
which for eight years has been paid in
greenbacks Payments of interest or
principal since 1862 having been accepted
by the creditor win not be affected by the
decision, except where the money has
been accepted under protest. accompa-
MED with the demand for gold, which
cases are of course very exceptional. So
| important was the decision regarded in its
bearing upon cases of this kind, that
it was regarded as ''not improbable that
some of the poorer States, with as heavy
debts as North Carolina and Tennessee,
being unable to provide for their debt,
even on a currency basis, may be driven
by this decision into open reputation,
pleading the action of the Supreme Court
as imposing on them obligations which
they could not honor" Ii this view OF
the decision, that specie can be exactet
in payment of the principal and Interest
of all bonds issued prior to the war, shall
prove correct, it will be ruinOus to the
Southern States, for it viii task them tC
their utmost capacity to meet these en-.
gagements in currency. We have in this
decision one of the beauties of the Radical
legislation, with which the country has
been cursed. According to this decision,
all contracts entered into since the passage
of the legal tender act can be paid in
greenbacks, but specie can be exacted on
those of prior date.

The dyspeptic becomes, too in measure demon

irritation sullenness or despair, as the case may

with those nearest and dearest to him is not un-
frequently marked by exhibitions of testiness for

nomena of the disease, for which the invalid can
not be justly held responsible, but they occasion
much household discomfort. 1t is to the interest
of the home circle it is essential to family har-

complaint against Deputy of embezzle-
ment before Justice of the Peace, and
had him arrested and confined In the

pretext to get Deputy in his
power, for no witnesses ever ap-
peared against Deputy on the ex-
animation of the charge. The same
night Stapleford and Morris came, with
several others, to the jail, overpowered

Morris and Stapleford repaired to the jail

there, with the protestatiOns of the victim
that he signed, only to save his life, amid
the insulting and jeering remarks of Nor

THE SMITH.

!. The Cincinnati Commercial, speaking
of the conduct of the Smith who affects
to represent the Mississippi district, in
furnishing his frank to his political friends
in the Legislature, says:
The Legislature calls the attention of
Congress to Smiths conduct; but what
can that body do but admire the benevO-
lent purpose and ingenious manner Of
Smith, who has widened the scope of his
usesulness, and sowcd national and local
information with an impartial hand over
the State that should feel honored to have
borne, and bred, and sent to Congress,
such SOM
1t is true we have borne him for sever
al years past as patiently as possible, but

North side of the Ohio-where he andhis
ancestry were born.

IT is scarcely possible, says the Chicago
Times, that there is any foundation for
the report of an attempt, on the part Of
some Irishmen in New York, to kidnap
or assassinate Prince Arthur. If there
were any such attempt, the men planning
it were not Irishmen, but Tufians, whom
no nation should be willing to recognize,
and who were not men of any nationality,
but outcasts from civilization, whose
proper home is the penitentiary. There
is no reason to fear that the intelligent
Fenians Of this country, or the intelligent
Irishmcn of this country, will view any
such effort save with the utmost abhor-
renee. Moreover it is entirely certain that
the native-born population of the United
States would give over to everlasting eX-
ecration, and to the hangman, any man
who should attempt to harm the prince
while the guest of the republic.

GEN. GRANT As 4 BUSINESS MAN
Ibis LOVE OF MONEY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
among the earliest ''Grcat Gift Grant En-
terprises" of the large and wealthy bond
holders Of New York, who desired 10 form
an alliance with the successful soldier,
whom popular infatuation might make
President, was the gift of very fine
house and lot in Washington. After he
was elected President lie advertised it for
sale. His agents found a purchaser in
one S. J. Bowen, who agreed to give
$40, 600 for it. Writings between the two
parties were drawn up 10 that effect and
signed by their respective agents. Bowen
paid 81 900 down, and was to give 50, 600
when the deed was delivered, in March.
The remaining $4,000 were to be at in
terest for ten years. at six per cent, if
not sooner paid by the purchaser, who
obligated himself TO have an insurance Of
SIS, 600 upon the house. This was on
the 9th Of November, 1868. In Fcbru-
arv, 1869, the stockholders in the Great
Gift Grant Enterprise" a. T. Stewart
and Company being after Office from
Grant, conceived the idea of purchasing
his house and lot for Gen. Sherman. They
offered him q pony purse-a sort of dell
cate bribc-ofS65, 900 for his Washington
house. Without any hesitation and disre-
carding the previous sale to Bowen,
he and lis wife made warranty deed to
Gen. VIM. T. Sherman of the property.
For this violation Of the agreement with
Bowen he had realized one years pay as
President of the United States, in conSid-
Grafton of $25, 600. But to Bowen be is
said TO have given an excuse so mean that
we can scarcely believe it. That excuse
was that. despite his agreement, his wife
would not sign The deed that was to be
made in March. He thus sought to take
shelter under The pctlicoat of his wife.
I'm, Bowen would have taken steps TO CT
force the contract and therefore he was
bought of. and in April gave quit-claim
deed of his interest to Sherman. He was
Mayor Of Washington, and his considera-
ton was the money Of several fat and lu-
crativc offices in the District of Columbia.
These are the facts as they appear by the
public records and otherwise.
