On Monday in the House of Representa-
tives there was introduced by Mr.. McKen-
zie, of Virginia, bill extending the pro-
visions of the act of July 4. 1864, in rela-
ton to the jurisdiction of the Court of
Claims to the loyal citizens of Virginia.
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the legal-tender cases was as was stated in
our columns yesterday--that so far as the
law attempts to provide legal tender for
the payment of debts existing before its
passage it is unconstitutional because it is
retroactive. Therefore, all debts existing
when the legal-tender acts were passed
must be paid in gold and silver.
The court decides nothing about contracts
made after the passage of the law in 1862.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
DANrILLE, VA, February 7, 1870.
The exodus of the freedmen from this
section is still on the increase. 4 large
number left here one day during the past
week for the land of cotton and sugar.
Our people look better and seem to
breathe freer since our admission into the
Union, and as our State Legislature meets
In your city tomorrow we shall leok for o
good report from them. ~, e..
The sales of tobacco have greatly in
creased during the present season and as I
learn there has been general reduction in
the charges at all, or nearly all, of our
warehouses, believe it will increase to o
much greater extent than formerly.
Great excitement exists among our citi-
zens as to who shall be our officers for the
corporation. Many wish to serve the dear
people, but az all cannot be officers, it re-
mains to be seen who will be the chosen
ones. Many are called but few will be
chosen.'
Winter has fully set in, Notwithstanding
the winter month"; have passed. 1t has
been showing for the past two days, and
the roads are very. bad consequently but
little tobacco has been coming in for the
past few days. - -
Produce is very scarce, and high rates
are offered for the necessaries of life,
owing to the present condition of the roads.
Many new buildings are going up, and
our town is in prosperous condition.
Several parties from the North have been
in our town recently looking for lands.
We expect soon that operations will be
commenced on the Norfolk and Great
Western railroad which will necessarily
increase our population, at least for time.
Yours, BUSGY.

tariff and withthe Democratic side, making
the result 81 to c2. This action Of the
