Kings College in Bristol. He is now in
charge of the Baptist Church of that
place, and a friend writes that his ser
mons are able and eloquent.
The Tennessee correspondent of the
Chicago Tunes, writing Of the condition
Of affairs here, says OF the Radical charge
of riot and murder: "It is all n stu
pendous lie, from the exaggerated stories
Of Ku-Klux outrages down to that latest
delectsble romance OF A. J. Fletcher, in
which he shrieks forth that his life is in
danger, and calls for a military escort to
take him homo to East Tennessee. His
life is as safe in the highways as mine is,
and l believe mine is as safe here as any
where in the world.n
The Israelites Of West Russia are, at
present, suffering severely from famine
and disease, and, lacking the impulse Of
liberal laws to encourage their industry,
nave lost heart and energy, and nave ap-
pealed to the proverbial benevolence of
their brethren for relief. 1t is proposed to
remove the sufferers to the interior OF
Russia, where a more moderate climate, a
fertile soil, abundant crops, and milder
laws, may restore them TO comfort, and
inspire them with encouraging hopes for
the future. Contributions in aid of this
project have been solicited by the Board
of Delegates of AmericarI Israelites, the

SINCE the women Of Wyoming have
become enfranchised sovereigns, and,
like the Africans, have been "regen-
Grated and disenthralled," they have
been placed in Office and made jurors.
AT Laramie City, having been drawn
on a jury in a murder case, they have
a full taste of the advantages and
sweets of practical equality. They
have been locked up four days and
nights at the last accounts, mixed up
with some few of the sterner sex, and
are getting pale and fatigued, but can
not agree on a verdict, nOtwithstand-
ing the most prodigious amount of
talking ever before heard in the uni
verse. The woman's rights machine
has come to a dead lock.

THE LEGAL TENDER DECISION.
There is no Probability Of It's Reversal.
What the Reporter CT the Supreme
Court has to Say About 1t.

From the Nashville Union aud American.
The Philadelphia Ledger prints a
letter from j. w. Wallace, Esq, official
reporter of the United States Supreme
Court, which, although private and
nOn-Oficial, must be credited with con-
siderable weight as probably rejecting
more or less the personal feeling of the
members of the court; at least it can
be relied on as accurate in its relation
of facts. Mr.. Wallace does not think
that the recent decision of the court
On the legal tender question will be
reversed, and, giving the reason for
the faith that is in him, states
that "the whole history of the
Supreme Court of the United
at such an attempt" Moreover, he
states that there is no case on the
docket now which involves the ques-
ton of the legality of the legal ten
der act, and that it would take two or
three years to bring a new one into
shape for a decision in the present
crowded state of the docket of that
tribunal. 1t may be added that what
yer the private opinion of the new
judges who may hereafter go on the
bench may have about the correctness
of the late adjudication, they would
hardly venture to suggest the over
ruling of a decision so sOlemly made |
as the late one. The following extract
from Mr.. Wallace's letter will be in
teresting:
"When the decision in what is
the legal tender case was made,
the Supreme Court of the United
States consisted of eight judges, the
number then fixed for it by law,
and the decision that notes of the
United States when presented In pay
ment OF a contract made previously
% the passage of the legal tender act
If February, 1862, was no lawful ten
Ter, was concurred in by five judges,
lot by three, as assumed. These five
Judges were the Chief Justice and the
Justices Nelson, Grier, Clifford and
Field. Judge Grier had left the bench

ing Office. The Charleston Courier re-
CARDS the union of the press as aus
picious, and urges the importance of
combating the enemy with their
own weapons" It says GAN
acknowledge the importance of the
crisis and the necessity of a united ac-
ton on the part of those charged with
the public interests, for a release from
the misrule, corruption, and unjust
domination, which has oppressed the
liberties, the general welfare and the
industrial advancement of our be-
loved commonwealth. Those who
desire good government from the
mountains to the seaboard are a unit.
Our ranks are formed. Our counsels
are one We move forward in a solid
and unbroken column, with one heart
and purpose, for the redemption Of
the State"

A DISTINGUISHED writer has said
that "to smile upon those we should
censure, and to -countenanoe such as
are guilty of bad actions, is bringing
guilt upon ourselves" This is a
common every day fault of the great
majority of men. How can you ex-
pect to have a commanding public
sentiment which will ensure the
interests of society by discountenanc-
ing vice and crime, if you shake hands
as heartily and make as much of
the lowest and yilost men as you
do ofthe most honorable and the best?
We remember once to have seen a
man return TO a community, from
which he was sent to the penitentiary
for theft, where he had served out his
time, and not a whit better than when
he left. Yet every man who met him
shook hands and passed the compli-
ments of the day, as if nothing else
had happened than that he had been
on a long journey on some laudable
business. Is not this a matter to be
mended? Is there not a fault some
where. Some answer others do so,
and they cannot set themselves
up and get into difficulties to discount
tenance men whom everybody else
recognize; and there is much in the
answer to show that things are very
much as they ought not to be. The
public sentiment is all right in such
cases, but few men are both consistent
and brave enough to cause it to be
outspOken. If this were done, more
would be done to discountenance dis
honor and prevent crime than is now
done by all the sherifs, constables,
police and jails in the land.

SUNDAY HORSE CASs IN Newark.

Despite the fact that at special election held IN
the city OF Newark year or so ago the people 10y
two.thrds majority vote, declared In favor Of the
measure, the people are still denied the privilege,
chiefly through the meddlesome, ridiculous action
OF a few Overzealous religIonists whose notions IN
this particular respect al all events are emphati-
cally OF the antediluvan order In obedience
to the wishes OF the people the Common
Council took the matter up some weeks
ago. and appointed a special committee OF three

AT the appointed time the conference took place,
and the principal Oficer OF the Newark and Orange
company stated that though his people did not
think q would pay them To run on sunday; siill
they were willing to comply with the wishes Of tue
people, provided Council would protect them in case
suit should be brought against them for violation
OF their charter, which had been threatened. The
HERALD reporter was reliably informed that the
persons who made this threat are Lewis c. Grover,
Z. c. Lathrop and Others Of the standing IN The
community. Mir. Grover has asserted that he stands
