THE PEACH MARKET.

The arrivals Of peaches yesterday were ffty-three
car loads for New-York and six for Boston; by
steamer 5000 crates; the entire supply being equal
10 81 600 baskets. The market was very irregular,
OWING to the fact that dealers attempted to open
trade at higher figures than the quantity aud style
of fruit warranted. 1t will be difficult to teach
sumers TO pay high rates this season, since the
knowledge of heavy crop is general and sellers
result. The market was started at 81 for bushels
aud 81 % for crates bat go cents Is full average
for baskets and 75 cents TO 81 for crates many sell
ing al the lower price. few Yorks brought 81 % ;
but Troths so tar Us Sold did not exceed the above
ranges. The fruit of good color, but the
weather was severe upon 10, and quite large rom
nant was hurredly shipped TO other points and IN
eone cases a round buyer late In the afternoon
made the price. New-Jersey premature pickings
sold at % to 90 cents basket.

INDIANS BECOMING CIVILIZED.

The Society of Friends of this city, who have the
special care Of the Winnebago tribe of Indians. have
made a report on the condition of tho reservation,
and commend the peace policy as worthy OF con-
tinuance. 80 rapidly have they advanced from
nomadc habits to those of civilized life" SAYS the
report THAT IL becomes only question of a few
wears for this tribe to require no further aid from
the Government" Ten years ago rations were
issued to them at a cost of about $4,000 year,
and they then had only 800 acres of land
under cultivation, aud subsisted on Gov
eminent rations aud buffalo meat. Dur
ing the past year the tribe has been Self-sup-
porting, with the exception of three pounds OF
Hour given weekly to each parent whose CHILDREN
attended school regularly At present the tribe has
n surplus of farm products for sale, and with the
larger acreage sown IL IS thought the surplus will
be greater this year The following statistics OF
the reservation are given: Population. .444

How TO SETTLE THE QCEsTIOE.-When the
Legal Tender Act was passed in February,
1862, it was done under the pressure of a
costly war and an empty treasury. The
Act was regarded as a temporary relief,
and as such received the support of men
who considered its principle wholly un-
iustifable except as a necessary measure
for preserving the nations existence.
There we're grave doubts, however, Of the
constitutionality Of the Act, and these
doubts were brought to an actual test be-
fore the United States Supreme Court.
The ChiefJ ustice, Salmon p. Chase, deliv-
cred the opinion, as a Judge declaring un-
constitutional the Act which as Secretary
Of the Treasury he had urged through Con.
gress. A few years later the question came
up again, and the Court reversed its dec-
sion 50 far as to declare the Act constitu-
tional as measure necessary in time Of
war. Thus the law stands at present.
There was, be it observed, no idea when
the Act was passed except that the legal
tender currency was to be a temporary
one. In both its decisions the Supreme
Court has taken this intent for gran ed.
Only those issues made in time o: war have
been declared to be constitutional, and
these only are legal.tender according to the
supreme law of the land. But there have
been numerous issues of legal-tenders from
1866 onward, and the constitutional chaaac
ter Of these issues is open to grave dou bts
to say the very least. By passing an Act
requiring the Secretary of the Treasury tc
reissue all legal-tenders redeemed by him
the Congress that has just adjourned hal
opened the way to perpetual paper cur
rency to be issued by the Federal Govern
ment-a thing never contemplated BY
those who passed the original Act.
i plan has just been perfected for de
Gliding whether legal-tendeF issues afte
August %. l8GG-the official date of th,
". -t.c money according to the Consttu
4 real case is to be taken, in whic
debtor shall tender these notes, and Eh
creditor shall refuse them and bring suit
The tender will then be pleaded, and th
plea demuyred to--which will furnish
case that may be speedily carried to th
Supreme Court and finally decided. Tn
Hon. S. B. Chittenden, member Of Coz
gress from Brooklyn, will defray all tn
costs Of the creditor in the suit, and II
Beni. F. Butler will defray those of til
debtor and argue his case porqonally.
Il is to be hoped that nothing will inte
fere with the success Of this plan. Shoul
the decision be that legal.tenders cannC
constitutionally be issued in time of peaC
which is the only decision that can
expected-then the currency question wi
be settled outof hand. Should the oppos
decision be rendered we shall DO in I
worse position than now, and shall ha'
the advantage of knowing just where '
are.-Er.
