The withdrawal of the appeals by the appel
lants in the cases in which the question OF the
application of the legal tender act to prior con-
tracts was to be argued leaves the decision that
debts contracted for gold, prior to the passage
OF the act must be paid in gold, is the law in all
courts Of the United States. But nearly all
debts between private citizens are enforced by
the State courts; and the decisions of the Su
preme Court Of the United States do not control
these courts; but rest in them entirely on the
moral Authority VI me suP.U..-~ -. 81,
the force Of the reasoning by which they are
sustained Ii is quite possible that State court
may refuse to enforce the decision recurring the
payment in gold of debts contracted before
1852.
In NEW of this difficulty, and OF that pre-
sented in the doubt that the decision win be
sustained BY the Supreme Court in the event of
Its coming before the full bench, the subject is
left in utter confusion. The New York Post.
We see, argues, with considerable force, that
the direct, simple and easy way out of this
difiieulty is for Congress at once to repeal the
legal-tender act, in 50 far as II applies, or NAV
be supposed to apply, to debts contracted before
It's passage. Ii Congress could pass the bill,
Congress can repeal it; and the credit of the
nation itself, as well as justice between citizens
and tie interest every man has in q settled state
of the Law, demand that it shall be done without
delay.

The CAT UNDER LAT MEAL--we referred
lately to . suspicious bin introduced in Con-
gress, which, under the unpretel.fing guise of
measure proposing merely TO gram appeals
from the Supreme Court Of the District Of
Columbia to the q. 8. Supreme Court, was in
tended solely to enable the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to circumyent the municipal
authorities Of Washington, and practically
nullify the recent decision Of the District court
declaring the railroad track, undergrade,
through the city Q nuisance that must be
absted. This decision has been gained
by the city only after stubborn fighting
and protracted litigation with the great
monopoly, and II by Congressional inter
ference 1t 10 to 60 up to the slow-moving
United States Supreme Court, Mr.. Garrett
may well hope, by invoking the laws tedious
delay, to maintain his power to obstruct our
streets for the next dozen years at least The
fact, which was not denied at the time, that
MI. Garrett was the instigator Of the bill has
now been openly avowed by the appearance OF
thar gentleman at the Capitol lobbying for tn
passage We doubt not that Mayor Bowen 10

mist and b taking proper care that members Of
Congress are informed Of the real purpose con-

The Board OF Aldermen, which consumes 50
much time in discussion of new business at the
regular meetings that the committees are sell
dom called, had special meeting last evening,
at which no business WAS transacted excent
under that call Several bills were passed. one
of the most important being the bin defining
the duties Of the superintendent and inspector
OF sewers, sc. As amended and passed, 1t
mates 1t the duty Of the mayor, on or about the
hrst Of July Of each year, to appoint . snperin-
tendent and inspector Of the construction OF
sewers and new buildings and the paving of
cArriageways and footways, who shall be an
experienced, competent, and eficient en-
gineer and surveyor, and whose COM
pensation shall be $4,000 per annum
IL shall be the duty of said superintendent and
inspector 10 prepare suitable plats OF the CITY.
and to delineate thereon the true position Of
each sewer already made, together with its size.
level, and shape, and such - shall hereafter be
made, and TO see that all thimblss, taps. and
connections are properly made and securely
walled in, which shall be recorded and kept In
his once, open to inspection without payment
OF feee' He Is also to prepare all surveys and
nx the grades, superintend all sewers and new
ouildinss, and the paving of carriageways and
iootWays, and, whenever directed by the mayor.
In the execution Of any law for the construction
OF sewer, or the paving Of q carriage
way or feotway, to prepare proper plans and
specifications, to be submitted to the MAYOR.
and II approved by him the superintend-
emit shall advertise the same for ten DAYS In
two Of the daily papers In the city of
Washington inviting proposals therefor.
The superintendent Is also charged with the
duty Of making all assessments on all lots or
parts Of lots bordering on any street, alley or
avenue which shall have been paved, or Dor
dering on any street, alley or avenue where
sewers shall have been constructed and see
that the trenches are properly filed, and the
street restored 30 its proper condition. No
sewer shall be filed in or tapped except under
the direction of the superintendent He Is al
lowed to employ an assistant when necessary to
aid in the performance of his duties Twenty
i've hundred dollars Is appropriated to carry the
act into effect.
In the discussion on this bin Mr.. Crocker on
posed the original clause, which provided for
the appointment of assistants ad-libitum, saving
that it would lead 10 the employment of many
more than were necessary. During his re-
marks he touched upon the bad condition of the
Corporation finances and the necessity of econo-
my. Mr.. Connolly shortly afterwards, in dis
cussing another bill, spoke of the extravagant
appropriations by the Councils and the en-
poverished condition of the city treasury, and
he too thought that greater economy in the adj
ministration of the affairs of the city had be-
come a necessity.

well sustained. The distant West and Northwest are

they did at their first visit. The obbers have been en-
abled to reduce stock considerably and the last
days have been the most profitable of the whole sea
son, although of the goods have been sold below
their prime cost. Altogether the feeling in the mar
ket has improved and the state of the trade is
aging.
FoREIoE GooDs.-The business of the week in i'm

really choice styles of fancy dress goods in first hands
found to be less liberal than most buyers anticipated
