An IMPORTANT CASE.

The case which Senator Edmunds will
argue before the United States Supreme
Court next Tuesday is one Of the most i'm.
2ortant ever brought before that tribunal. It
known as the legal tender case, and was
made up in order to get decision OF the Su.
prcme Court on the question OF the constitu-
tionalily Of the Government paper currency.
A debtor rendered creditor United States
note and it was refused on the ground that il
was not legal tender The Uni.
ted States District Court rendered q
pro forma decision In favor of the
constiutionality Of the Issue, and the case was
then taken up to the Supreme Court. A Bos.
ton commercial paper says the case involves
besides the legal tender feature, the immed-
late consideration Of the currency of the
National banking system and of the surplus
revenue, and it goes on to say:
II the Supreme Court now declares them to
be unconstitutional, then will begin at once
their replacement, and the currency question
will be full upon U.s. Shall they be continued
as now, minus their legal tender quality ?
Shall they he replaced by National bank
notes, or tilvcr, or what7 So long as the
National credit retains its present high posi-
ton, the legal tender quality may be spared
from the gieenbacks with no preceptible eff
feet for the quality Of a paper currency has
no effect upon its value in the market. This
was disputed once, but is 80 well known now
that only grcenback crank will deny it,
If the grecnbacks arc retired, will they be
replaced by bank notesi 1t Is well known

are not large enough 10 be an inducement. 1t
10 also well known that the national banking
system itself is threatened with a short life
by reason of the rapid reduction of the pub
lie debt, ON which the system is based. To
retire the greenbacks and bank notes at the
same tine, however slow, without a COM
pensating system in vogue-and as yet none
has be- Ii proposed-would work untold mis-
chief.
Then there is the surplus revenue. II bids
fair to accumulate its accumulation threat
tns the national banking system. A r,duc-
lion OF protective duties might only serve to
Increase the revenue. What shall be
dine with it3 1t certainly was not

in the agitation of what shall be done with

publican nomination for governor of New

his place upon the bench pending the cleo
Il IN. 1t was at first expected that he would
resign and stump the State, but the advice
OF leading Republicans and lawyers from all
quarters of the State has poured In against
his reslgning. He says that lie ought not
lightly TO abandon his public trust for the
purpose of seeking another. II he should
resign, Governor Ludlow would appoint a
Democrat In his place, thus making the Su-
preme Court stand seven Democrats to only
two Republicans. In former election, when
Judge Beadle ran for governor, this same
question was raised, discussed and decided
by Judge Beadle's retaining his place on the
bench till he was elected governor, the peo-
pie approving this course by giving him a
good najority.

The International Electrical Exhibition,
which is TO be held in Philadelphia Septem-
Der of next year, under the auspices of the
Franklin Institute, is already attracting wide
spread interest The fact that it is projected
by an institution Of such an eminent reputa.
ton, as well as the fact that it will be the
first exclusively electrical exhibition ever
held in America, contributes to excite inter.

milton and granted permission for the i'm.
portaliGn of articles for exhibition free OF
duty, and it is expected that some interest
ing electrical apparatus will be sent from
abroad as well as from different parts OF the
