Supreme Court Decision,

WASHINGTON, April I'm the su-
preme court to-day, in the case of Har-
rover VS.. Woodruff, an appeal from an
Arkansas court, where the subject of the
suit was promissory note given for a
consideration in war bonds issued by the
Arkansas secession convention. The court
held that the issuing of the bonds was an
act of open hostility to the United States.
and that the bonds were not, as in other
cases brought before the court, a forced
currency which the people of that section
were obliged to use. Field delivered the
opinion, which was acquiesced in by Judge
Miller, though dissenting in some points.

The Civil Service Commission have under
consideration new rule which in all exami-
nations for promotions will require the pro-
motions to be made from applicants in the

promotions which skip the different grades
injurc the discipline of the service.
The National Republican says editorially
that certain clique Of straight out secession
Democrats, including several prominent un-
reconstructed Southerners, who are now in
Washington, have begun an intrigue to secure
the nomination Of Senator Thurman of Ohio
as the Democratic candidate for President in
1876, and that they have selected Senator
Bayard of Delaware for the second place on
the ticket.

RAPID COINAGE,

The coinage at the Mint for the month of
October exceeds in amount any coinage ever
executed there or at any other Mint in the
same time. There was delivered by the Coin
er to the Superintendent in double eagles
ST. ,0l0,0 900, and il silver and base coin Sl9,-
2S5. During the month the coiner made one
delivery of 81 100000 in double eagles, the
largest delivery ever made in one day The
time consumed was one hour and twenty
minutes. Considering the weight of this
amount--over two tons-this was rapid work.
If we take the double eagles coined during
the month and string them out in one line il
will make nearly twelve miles of gold. To
give some idea of the number of pieces and
the ground they would occupy stretched out,
suppose the line of double eagles to commence
at the southwest corner of Broad and Erie
avenue, it would reach to Curtin street &c.,
AGO feeD and leave enough to reach from
the southwest corner of Market and Delaware
avenue to l22 feet beyond Fify-scven.h
street. The weight of these double eagles is
nearly SO tons. Philadelphia Ledger.

REpUBL7CANIsN IN THE SOUTH.

The Greensboro IN. CO. New North State
thinks it would not be strange if, hereafter,
some of the strongest Republican States
should be in the South. 1tsays; Southern
Republicans know that their future welfare
depends upon continuing their party in pow.
er; while those of the Northern States, think
ing the mission of the party accomplished
and seeing no danger in letting it break tc
pieces, may go of after false gods. In any
event, it is our belief that it will be many
years hence, before Republicanism is de.
stroyed; and by the time it loses its hold up
on the masses, its measures and policy will
be so firmly engrafted upon the nation tina
even Democratic rule could be accepted with
out danger"
