The recent brilliant successes of the federal

General Thomas was born In Southampton

A failure of justice having occurred iu eonse
liience of the action of the servant of the
Cir ad tun people, it becomes our Imuud -n duty
to do what in us lies to retrieve the dillL'ulties
that I. me ic-ulted. As it was to be expe -'ed
that the ruidcrs would be rearrested widiout
trouble, the reward is very pro,uny ollerel
wfe' ii it is discovered that the Interests of justice
demand it.
Applications continue to four In from capttius

seriice on the tionticr.
Colonel Wiley has left for Windsor to pre
pate quurtera for tho cJiupAUiu to be slattoued

I learn from the best authority that General
Dix, immediately after Is-uing bis proclamation
with regard to ra'i lers from Canada, despatched
a confidential agent to this province to get deti
tnte information- That gentleman returned to
New York perfectly satisiied that the Canadian
authorities were taking every necessary step to
perform international obligations.
Canada Is now fully aroused, and will not
sutler herself to bo made a cat's-paw to play this
Ignoble part. This the Washington Government
fully unilerstands from the daily communication
it has with our Government, through the medium
of the British Kuibas.sy. The best understanding
prevails. Mr. Seward has Indeed made a most
favorable impression here by the prompt and
considerate manner In which he has recently
acted.
it is to be regretted that the United State
Government did not wake np at an earlier
period to the Importance of keeping our Govern
ment fully advised of the steps taken here by
Confederate with a view to violations of our
neutrality, and which bad come within the
cognizance of It ageut. Driven from every
Other part, the last refuge of Ihe Southern agent
is to embroil the United States and Jinglaud iu
war, using Canada a the medium. How ue
cessfully the game baa thus far been worked,
the iutlainuuabta state of the frontier to day
testifies.
The Consul-General of Canada, sir. Patter, 1
tmwell, and ha gone to Wisconsin. Mr. Thurs
ton, Vice-ConsuT General, is likewise IU. It
would certainly be to the advantage of America
interest at the present time if it had some person
here to advise with our Government, that uniform
actios might be effected.
The lntelligeut sentiment bera continue strong
that Mr. Coursol ehokld either be dismissed or
suspended.

Cm ht op Common Pi.p.an Judge) Thoma
s' n and I.unlow - kmike vs. Mathers This was
acme Mated, l'luliitill 'claimed on twogrounl
reit deeds, dated OctipHT 12, 1771, in each of
which thire was a reservation of a ground rent of
twi nty-inie pure silver coined Spanish pieces of
en ht unit one-third of such piece of eight,
each piece of eight weighing seventeen
p' iinvweigbts and six grains, or ao inu a of the
lawful Diuuiv ot the province of Pennsylvania,
ns shall tie siilllcient from time to liuiii tJ "pur
chase or piocure" the same, with a covou.int for
the psymotit of such cut by tho grantee, his
lnirs, and assigns, iu thu same words as the
reset vai ion.
At the lime the annual rent fell duo, October
12, lKtili, the defendants, who were thou owners
of ti.e lots, out of w hich the ground rea's were
re-t rved, tendered twenty-one dollars and ouo
th rd in legal tt nder notes of the United Sta es a
satisfaction of each of said annual rents. Plain
till refused to accept the tender.
The case tted gave the value of apiece of
eight on October 12, 1S(1:(, the highest value since,
in id the value at the time the case was sub nilted,
and on argument the plaintiff claimed that he
was entitled to a judgment for the highest value
of the piece of eight between the time when tho
renta lell due and the time of trial.
Judge Thompson, observing that the case did
not call for any examination or decision npou the
constitutionality of tho legal tender acts of Con
gross, held
1. That tho covenant waa not satisfied by the
tender of the notes ; Ibat the reservation was of a
particular kind of coin, with the alternative of It
value in lawful money and that tho ground
landlord was entitled cither to the particular kind
of coin, or its real value in lawful money.
2. That the measure of damages was the value
of the coin at tbo time tho rent fell due, and that
the plaintiff couid not recover more on tho ground
that that description of coin, had since been worth
more.
Judge Ludlow concurred In the judgment, aud
called attention to the peculiarity of the reserva
tion, in it alternative clause, calling for lawful
money of the Province (now the State) of Penn
sylvania. Without considering the question of
the power of Congress 'o provide what money
shall be a legal teodei In payment of dobt
throughout the United State, under the Cousti
tulioa of the Slate of Pennsylvania, It Legisla
ture can make nothing but gold and silver a legal
tender. .
The judgment was for the valae of the parties
Ur eoiu on October 12, 1M3, with interest to date
of judgment. Longstreia for plain tUf; William
W. W later for dsfeudant.
