THE SUPREME COURT

| WAsHiSorOS, April 2jth, ls7i.
THE SUPREME COURT
yesterday reached decision on the con-
sututionality of the legal tender act This
decision not only declares the act consti-
tutional, but reverscs the decision Of the
last term Of the court, and makes valid all
contracts made prior to its passage. |
should he sorry to te compelled to think
harshly Of the highest tribunal in the
land, but this decision is only the fulfill
ment of what was threatened BY The
fricnjs Of General Grant. The court di-
vided as follows Justices Davis, Miller.
Strong, Swayne ard Bradley ia favor Of
the stitu;ionalty of the act; and Chief
Justice Chase and, Justices Nelson, Clifford
and Field, dissenting. Judges Strong and
Bradley are the late appointments of Gen
eral Grant.
THE JoISr HIGH COMMISSION
will sign the treaties this week, it having
been ascertained that the home govern
mcnt have agreed to what has been done;
and then the wisdom Of our Senate. with
its wooden-headed carpe.-baggers and
windy scalawags and no souled rotton-
borough land-grabbers and narrow-ninded
yankees, will agree to the treaties with
out respect to their terms, which of course
must include sop to New England,
solely out of Difference TO the wish of
Ulysses who thinks he is making ten
strike by n settlement Of the Alabama
claims. The provisions OF the treaty on
the Alabama claims will be compared with
those of the Indignantly rejected Johnson
Clarendon treaty, and ifnot much more
favorable to us there will be a sudden let
down of Grant this administration among
those who are now disposed to be friendly
to him and his aspirations, but who re-
member his splurge in his message, when
it was generally thought that Grant in
tended wiping England from Off the map |
Of Europe. Grant will find in this, as IN |
everything else he has yet undertaken, ex.
cept the Eu-Klux bill, that be has blum
lerod. A few day. will tell the story.
The following announcement in the Re-
publican, Of this city, does not portend
much on its face, but it has history.

We Were naturally anxious to know why

praiser. When the lately appointed APP
praiser, W. Darling, took possession OF
his office, he made speech to his numer-
GUS employees and told them they must

Mr.. Darling then requested from
each deputy assistant appraiser and
examiner list Of their employees
and the names Of those who recommended
them. This was doEe to weed out Senat
or Fenton's friends This small and con-
temptible business WAS too much for Mr..

list, and sent bis resignation to Mr.. Bout

storm by hia opening address, and he re
allied it, and sent to Mr. Holmes, request
ing the withdrawal OF his resignation; but
he peremptorily declined. Heretofore ex-
aminers and appraisers were chosen with
special reference to thcir ability, without
regard TO their politics, but now things are
changing, and politicians of the Radical
stripe must now have even the important

Strout & Gage. Howard & Cleaves.
j. L. McGregor VS.. Augustus D. Brown. Malicious
prosecution. McGregor who it will be recollected
was once proprietor and editor of Sunday paper
here, was indebted to defendant for telegraph dis
patches furnished by the international Telegraph
Company, of which Mr.. Brown is agent. Defendant
several times requested plaintiff to make payment
and he promised to do SO, but kept putting it off,
Meeting McGregor day in Boston Mr.. Brown
asked him about the bill and the former said he
should be in Portland in few days and would then
pay it. McGregor came, but did not go near Mr.
Brown. The next time he came here, Mr.. Brown
made affidavit that McGregor was soon to go out of
the State and had him arrested a special writ and
lodged in JAIL He got bonds and then brought this
and that Mr.. Brown made false affidavit. The
damages to his credit and reputation he lays in his
writ at $1,000.
When the case was called this morning plaintiff
was not present and non-suit was ordered.

EXCITEMENT AT CAPE EL1zABETH-The
friends of law and order at Ferry Village
have had occasion several times of late to be
Indignant in consequence of disorderly and out
rageous exhibitions within the past few months.
These eliminated Thanksgiving evening in an
unprovoked assault by several roughs, at a So
cial dance, upon a respectable young man from
the centre of the town, whose namei is unknown.
The young man in the course of the evening
went into the dressing room and remarked that
he had lost some small article, whereupon a
rough named Cushing demanded of him if he
accused him of stealing it. The young man re-
piled that he did not, when Gushing Immediate
ly struck him, knocking him down. Two or
three others joined in the assault, and the young
man was h stled down the stairs, receiving sew
eral serious blows, one of which or a fall caused
by one, fractured his jaw. The fellow was then
rescued by man living near, who took him into
a house and cared for him. So fragrant an out
rage naturally excited great indignation, and
the result was public meeting Monday even
ing, which was fully attended. An agreement
was drawn up and signed by fifty of the leading
citizens constituting them a committee for the
enforcement of ORDER and Captain Robert NJ
York, well known shipmaster, was made pros
ecuting officer. 1t is the duty of this officer to
cause the arrest and trial of any person that
member of this committee may complain of
for breach of the peace. Trial Justice Hen
ley will second the action of the citizens by
prompt assistance. Two of the roughs that
| made the assault Thursday evening, George
Tobey and Frank Turner, are now under arrest
and will be arraigned before Justice Henley to-
day. Cushing, who is desperate character
| and neighborhood terror, has left Rowdies
| had better keep away from Ferry Village, for
the Committee of Fifty mean business, and are
| headed by very determined man.

GEN. sHERNIANs REPORT.
Gen. Sherman's report praises the zeal and
efficiency of the army and expresses the hope
that Congress will give the President discretion
airy power to keep companies up to standard,
ranging between 60 and 100 privates, according
to the nature of the service required Such a
measure would add very much to the efficiency
and would rarely, if ever, carry the aggregate
strength of the active army above &c, 900 men
fixed by law.
Gen. Sherman recommends the uniform
system OF tactics for all branches of the service
