The Supreme Court-Legal Tenders

The decision delivered few
days since by the Supreme Bench,
IN the case of Hepburn, as. Girls
void, establishes the fact that ga
contract for the payment of money
made before the legal tender act of
the 25th of February, 1862, had
reference to the coined money, and
could not be discharged, unless Dy
consent, otherwise than by the ten
der of the sum due in coin, and
that such contract, therefore, was
in legal import contract for the
payment of coin"
Chief Justice Chase, who deliv-
cred the opinion, in discussing the
manifest intention of the act, said {:
We do not think ourselves at
liberty to say that Congress did not
intend to make the notes authorized
by it legal tender in payment of
the debts contracted before the
passage of the act. We are thus
brought to the question whether
Congress has the power to make
notes. issued under its authority, a
legal tender in payment of debts
which, when contracted, were made
payable by law in gold and silver
coin. The delicacy and Importance
of this question has not been over
stated in the argument. This
Court always approached the con-
sideration of a question of this ma
ture reluctantly, and its constant
rule of decision has been, and is,
that the acts of Congress must be
regarded as constitutional unless
clearly shown to be otherwise. But
the Constitution is the fundamen-
tai law of the United States; by ii
the people have created Govern.
ment, defined it's powers, prescrib.
ed their limits, distributed them
! among ahe different departments
and directed in general the manner
of their exercise. No department
of the Government has any othel
powers than those delegated to i
by the people. All the Legislative
powers granted by the Constitution
belongs to Congress, but it has no
legislative power which is not thu
granted, and the same observatio,
is equally true in it's application t,
the executive and judicial power
granted respectively to the Presi
dent and. the Courts. All thes
powers differ in kind but not il
source or in limitation. They al
arise from the Constitution, an
are limited by its terms. It is tn
function of the judiciary to inte,
pret and apply the law to cases bt
| :
tween parties as they arise forjude
ment. We can only declare whs
the law is, and enforce by prope
process the law thus declared. b.
in ascertaining the respective righ,
or parties, frequently becomes ne,

'THE DIGNITY OF AGRICULTURE"
In On article in the "Rural Caroliman," I"
for February, by our fellow citizen,
w. P. Starko, Esq, the remarkable
statement is made that "the valley of
Egypt. comprising an area of about
one-fifth Of that Of South Carolina,
was covered, IN the days Of Dodorus
Siculus, with $4,000 cities and towns,
containing a population of, perhaps,
100000" The same writer re-
marks: g. "
"The tillage of soil, in all its opera
tions, is but a series Of beautiful par
abIes of the tillage of the mind and
soul Of man. So full of dignity and
sanctity was agriculture to the wis
est of people, that tho King of anci-
ent Egypt, himself a priest, went
forth from his palace, after the annu-
al subsistence of the Nile, accompa-
MED by the priests, and laying his
hand to the plow, opened tho first
farrow of tho year. In this way, was
IT declared in the most, solemn man.

Riokety Legislatures in the South.

The reconstructed Legislatures in
tho South arc not source of prido to
the Republican party. Ben Butler
himself could not look upon them and
say truly in his benevolent way
"Blcss ye, my children" Greedy nc
doubt cXccrates and curses them in
his heart Of hearts, while Sumner
alone, whose heart delights in war
and strife. may be able to look on
with inward satisfaction. The Louis
lana Legislature is engaged, it would
seem. in general gamo of grab.
Tho Governor, from his own state
ment, seems to be the only honest
public official in the State, and he is
SO unexccptionally honest that he
refused one hundred thousand dollars
in bribcs merely for signing bills
The dusky members, besides, have
licensed all sorts Of Sunday games, Of
which Southern darkics arc SO fond
until it is reported that the principal
streets Of New Orleans arc luminous
with signs of "Faro, Keno, &c, Play
cd Hero" " In the Florida Lcsi. laturc
the little game OF impeachment has
been played again, the Governor be-
ing the party on trial. lie was ac-
quilted, but he tclegnrhcd immcdi-
atcl y to his representative in Con-
grcss to say that all the Federal Rad
ical office holders worked soIi'!ly
against him. The Alabama LcSi Ia.
turc, witha heavy carpct-bay major
lily, has been quarrclling with the
Governor over the proper mode OF
spelling; the North Carolina Legis-
laturc and her Governor and Auditor.
between them have placed the crcdi,
of the State in danger; Mississippi
threatens to put the Senatorial Radi-
calls in dilemma by sending a color
cd member to the Unit. d States Sen
ate; the Arkansas Legislature and
Governor Clayton had to carry on
guerrilla warfare for months before
they could secure their positions, and
Gcorgia-wclI, when wo speak Of
Georgia even Philosopher Grecly's
capacity for swearing fails to do JUS
ticc TO tho subject.
This is a very poor showing for four
years of reconstruction. Tho system
pursued by the Radicals aimed espe-
cially at bringing the States back so
throughly Republican that they
would never give us any more Dom
ocratic trouble. But even this has
not succeeded. The States are only
Republican for the moment. The
present Legislatures are enough to
blot all the Republicanism in the
South, and the Radical leaders in
Congress seem to know it. for they
have tried to patch Virginia together
so as to be sure Of her, and are still
trying to patch Mississippi in the
same way. In fact, the whole recon-
struction system has resulted in a
thing of shreds and patches that the
Radicals cannot trust. They fear
that Reed Of Florida, is broken
reed; that the radieal,sm of Smith, of
Alabama, is mythical; that Holden
Of North Carolina, does not feel much
beholden to the p"rty; that Bullock,
of Georgia, is likely try to gore bis
own friends, and that Yarmouth of
Louisiana, like Dawes, is talking too
much out of school.-New York Herald.
