A Deeisfsn Aascting Roathevn War
C1a1usa.

An important decision 10 announced
by the United States Supreme Court, Of
which the Washington dispatches give
an outline, and also a startling state.
ment that Mr.. Justice Bradley looks
pom the decision a. calculated TO ''in-
troduce evils Of great magnitude that
will ultimately lead to the recognition
Of the war-debts OF the seceding States. y
The facts In the case are that the Bank
Of Tennessee, organized more than
twenty years before the civil war, 10.
sued notes which the State agreed, by
clause in the hanks charter, to 70.
eeiye for taxes. The notes issued dur
ing the supremacy Of tae Confederacy,
however, were declared void by the
constitution adopted at the reconstruc-
ton OF the State, and collector of taxes
who refused to receive them was made
the defendant In this snit, the plain
tiff claiming that this constitutional
amendment was itself void. The Su-
prsme Court finds nothing in the re-
cord to show that these notes were Is
sued in aid Of ths rebellion, and moth
ing from which presumption to this
effect can be properly drawn, and de
cides: first, that the constitutional
amendm declaring these notes void
is OF no effect, because it impairs the
obligations Of contracts; second, that
the State OF Tennessee has always,
since its frst admission into the Union,
been the State Of Tennessee.
Its secession did not, according to the
opinion OF the majority, Interfere with
"its perpetual succession and perpetual
identity" t'Not only is 1t the same
body polite now, but i, has always
been the same; it hes not only been al
this time a State. and the same State
but il has always been one OF the I'm
tied States, a State Of the Union. Re
ferring especially to the share Of the
State in the rebellion, the majority say
at never escaped the obligations o.
that constitution, though for a whil'
it may have ended their enforcement. IT,
Chief Justice Waite. Justice Harlan
and Justice Brad, y form the minority
of the court. They claim that thu
banks of thu rebelious districts were
una uestionably used In futhsrance o
the insurrection, and deny that th'
acts Of Iebellious state are binding OF
a reconstructed State. The larg" Re
publican majority Oh the bench pre-
vents any suspicion Of political signifi-
canoe being attached to the decision
But It will surely arouse a strong feel
ing throughout the country, and th'
bar possibility of a party coming int
power in the near ure that woult
gladly TAX. advan ago Of such a deci
sion is just groundst or serious alarm.

we attended very interesting one at

New York. Mr.. Dawson has been in

known that it is unnecessary to speak
of the service in detail: but being SER
mon on the bible, in its own words,
strikingly enforced by illustrations and
printed scripture quotations and varied
by the singing of appropriate hymns,
which we're suggestive and impressive.
The subject of the reading was Christ
as the light of the world, and presented
the gospel plan fully and copcisely.
In the afternoon, Instead of the usual
Sabbath school exercises, a Christmas
praise service, arranged by Rev. A..
Rittenhouse Of Philad.lphia, was con
Quoted by VIM. H. Foulk, the superine
tendent. This consisted in responsive
reading Of the scriptures, embracing
the prophecies in regard to the coming

ment In the events connected with the
birth of Christ. These readings were
lnterspersed with the singing of appro
pirate Christmas melodies by the choir
1t was an hour pleasantly and proftably
spent. 1t would be well If such services
of bible reading and song as were 50

That Goddess ofLiberty.
This morning a woman on the shady
side of sixty entered our Office. Her
wierd appearance and the wild express
sion of her eye, told US that she was
suffering under some mental hallucina-
ton that was haunting her life.
Will you publish this for mel' she
asked as she handed us the following
written in hand that bespoke a good
Engii h education.
"Royal Prince James, the eldest son
of the Goddess of Liberty was
slaughtered by sleeping gas in Tren.
ton. The hydrant was cut next door
and sleeping gas put into it, by passing
the landlord and Dr. McKinsley. 1t
was done to kill the brother that was
in the Jail. He was kidnapped at the
time my house was robbed, Gabriel D.
Grimshaw, third son of Goddess OF
Liberty and also to keep the money
bond that Mr.. Hayes has on the Gov
ernmen.t" Mra. Ann J. D. Grimshaw
Princess.
Upon informing her that we would
publish her article she seemed very
thankful and sobbed and cried as she
referred to her son who was Republic
can and had gone out to Indiana to fight
for President Hayes, and was murdered
because he was Republican.
Her stay in our office was not pro-
longed after we informed her that we
would make note of her article. We
are reminded that this is the same
"Goddess of Liberty that was before
the Mayor a couple or three weeks ago,
at which time she was laboring under

A correspondent Of New York Times,
in giving some of the Presidents views
on things current in the political world,
says:
Referring to the Blaine committee,
the President thought it would not &C
complish substantial results. There
were already indications that it would
end where the Potter committee ended
in nothing. The President thought
the sentiment of the country was that
the Potter committee was failure. In
deed. some of the earlier friends of the
movement were now beginning to apol-
ogize for its existence. Ping informed
that many prominent democrats spoke
of the investigation as an elephant
which was now burdensome, and that
the disposal of the animal was their
greatest concern, the President loosely
observed that the best way to treat
that elephant was to let him alone, and
he would soon die natural death
