Extract from His Opinion in the fMe of Boric vs. Trott. "On the whole, then. I am of opinion that the provision of the act of Congress of February 25th. 18K2, declaring tbo notes issued in pursuance of that act to bo lawful money, und legal tender, IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. "This renders it unnecessary that I should con sider the other question which has been made, as to the effect of the special agreement to pay in lawful silver money of the United Slates Jam in favor of entering judgment for the plaintiff, but as a majority of the court arc of a differed opinion, judgment for the defendant."— Copiid frost 'he Philadelphia Ago of 23ei of February, ISM, where the opinion is published in full. It may also be found in the Legal Intelligencer of March 18, ISS4, page 02. In the same copy of the Age is a carclully pic pared eulogy of the judge aud this opinion, i which is the following: "Judge SDARSWOOD reasons upon and decides the case as if he were some lofty spirit sitting far above and out of the contentions and strifes of the world." Will not the holders of greenbacks and Govern ment bonds consider tho judge as quite too eleva ted and cthcrial for such earthly honors as a scat on tho Supreme Bench ? iiis i i i IMPEACHMENT. The I'eeliDg in favor of the impeachment of the President, since the adjournment of the extra session of Congress in July, has grown apace. The impeachment move ment in the winter had utterly failed. When Andrew Johnson let the impression go abroad that he would faithfully execute the reconstruction laws if passed over his veto, the people, though they had been de ceived and betrayed time and again, once more accepted the implied promise, and the impeachment movement at once fell to the ground. Congress had scarcely adjourned, when, forgetful or regardless of all promi ses, either express or implied, he set his pliant tool, Stanberry, to work to devise some method of evading or misconstruing the Itk'W. That no excuse might be left for even designed and wilful misconstruction, Con gress met in extra session on the 4th of July, and so amended the law that ignor ance could find no excuse and design no refuge for further misconstruction. This brought the President to an issue with the country on the reconstruction question. No longer able to plead obscurity in the law as an excuse for obstructing and delaying the work of reconstruction, lie new boldly accepts the issue, and instead of pretending a desire to execute the law in good faith, and pleading tliat he is hindered by its ob scurity, he deliberately sets himself to work to prevent its execution. For tho first time in our .country's history we have the melancholy and humiliating spectacle of our Chief Executive, whose solemn and sworn duty it is to execute the laws, deliberately violating his solemn oath of office, and in the spirit of rebellion and revolution using all his power to prevent tlicir execution. The disgraceful imbecility of Buchanan's administration is made respectable beside the wanton and deliberate wickedness of Andrew Johnson's. It were strange indeed if such circumstances did not once more bring tho question of his impeachment I prominently before the country. The pop ular voice to-day is plainly, loudly, une- ; quivocally for impeachment. Every news- i paper that was with the country during the ! rebellion, and every loyal man, from the highest to the lowest, declares in favor of impeachment. The recreant President has already heard the warning voice, and in dread alarm turns to his companions in crime for advice. Verily, "whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad. " Ru mor, with strong probabilities to support it, has it, that the practicability of using the regular army to forcibly prevent the meeting of the next Congress, or in ease of : its meeting to prevent impeachment, has i been seriously discussed already. It is with ' horror wc contemplate the possibility that ' the man, whom the nation delighted to honor with the second office in its gift, and whom the assassin's bloody hand raised to the first, should himself attempt to subvert the gov ernment. Yet the fact seems to be tliat he has deliberately discussed the propriety of such an attempt in council with his wicked advisers. And the worst fact remains that the worst construction that could possibly, with any show of reason or probability, be put upon Andrew Johnson's acts, since his j apostacy, has always heretofore fallen far ! short of the reality. These are solemn, stubborn facts, and they demand a calm, cool and timely consideration. Impeach ment on the meeting of Congress is a fore gone conclusion ; indeed an absolute neces- i sity, if we arc ever to have the work of rc- i construction completed and the country restored to peace and harmony. Andrew •Johnson is a bold bad man, with the worst kind of political adventurers and dema gogues as confidential advisers. He will be ready to attempt anything that offers the least prospect of success, to save himself from being impeached and deposed from office. The fall elections will be taken, the country over, as the exponent of public opinion, not only on local but national is sues. If they aro overwhelmingly union even Andrew Johnson with all his fool hardiness will be deterred from attempting any revolutionary movements. If they should be close, or worse still, go Copper head, Andrew Johnson, encouraged and backed by a clique of reckless adventurers, will be likely not only to attempt to resist impeachment with force, but to strike a blow at our liberties and attempt to estab lish himself as a dictator. Much of our safety from any danger of this kind depends upon the firmness arid loyalty of General Grant, but much more upon our securing an overwhelming victory at the ballot box. ]jet loyal men everywhere remember this and vote accordingly. THE CLERK TO THE I'OOK DIKEO TORS, If time and practice make a man efficient in discharging the duties of his position, then the present incumbent of the Poor llouse clerkship ought to be a most excel lent officer. Perhaps he is. The Democratic Party seem to think him so. They have kept him in office so long, that it is hard to tell when he did go in, but it must be ten years ago anyhow. And they not only pay him for keeping the account and books right, but pay hiui again as clerk to the Auditors to overlook his own work. And yet during his time errors and oversights occurred to such an extent that the public were eiyht or ten thousand dollars out of pocket. It is time there should he a change. Either the Auditors and Directors do trust every thing to the clerk, or they don't. If they do they ought to be sure the clerk is competent. If they don't they themselves arc responsible. Anyhow the Democratic Party (so called) is responsible. And the people no doubt will so regard it and vote accordingly. THE Gazette re produces our notice of the nominations of its party for the various county offices, and argues therefrom that they ought therefore to be elected. We have no doubt that our recommendation i> worth all tliat is claimed for it, and that it will work wonders with the great untorrified, but we now think that it would be better to give the Republicans a voice in the Boards of Commissioners and Poor Directors. We hope this idea will be as fully endorsed and re-produccd by the Gazette. Do say to your credulous reader, that wc do think a Republican Commissioner and Poor Direc tor sbuuld bo elected. OUB fair notice of the gentlemen compo sing the Copperhead county ticket so tickled the Gazette that it has re-produced it. The notice was so unlike the Gazette's stylo of abusing every body honored with a nomina tion, that we have no doubt that it found its sense of propriety much shocked. Hope it will recover and keep this article a standing matter until it has fully mastered its style. THE Copperheads are again full of Negro Suffrage; they assert positively that it isthe [ intention of the leaders, to "FORCE Negro Suffrage and the POLITICAL Equality of Whites and Blades, upon the people of Pennsylvania, WITHOUT THEIR CON SENT." This has been their constant cry since the organization of the Republican Party. They aro determined to educate the public up to it. Go in, Cops. A credulous old Cop was over-heard to ~ay, not long since, that the Negro business was about played out. with him. lie had been told, year after year, tliat the Negroes were going to do thus ana so and yet he never noticed any change; he had come to the conclusion the whole matter was an "in fcrnal lie got up for electioneering purpo ses." The mass of the party haveeomo to the game conclusion. THE fact, that Andrew Johnson, in delib erately obstructing, and using all his power to prevent, the execution of the reconstruc tion laws, is supported by the whole copper head party, throughout the country, ought to satisfy every right minded and patriotic citizen that such a party ought not to be entrusted with power in any part of the country. THE Gazette says the present Democratic board of I'oor Directors discovered the "leaks" which lately came to light. Wc deny this. Mr. Dofibaugh discovered them, ' and for this and other evidences of honesty, i the leaders desire to discharge him. Put him out if you dare. THE reckless disregard of the Gazette for truth is again exhibited in its flagrantly charging Messrs. Wellcr and Richards with voting "for almost every one of the corrupt measures" which disgraced the last Legis | lation. We challenge the production of the proof. j "WAS there ever a meaner, slimier, fouler | traitor" &c. — Gazette. Such attacks arc ! periodical—whenever the moon changes. V WORTHY CANDIDATE. The loyal voters of the Commonwealth ask no higher tribute to the worth and char acter of Judge Williams than the following neat compliment paid him by the only daily Democratic paper of Western Pennsylvania the day following his nomination. Tt said: The nomination of the Hon. Henry W. Williams as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court is a good one. He was the best man named before the Republican Con vention, and possesses legal and moral qual ification s for the responsible position to which he has been nominated. Both par ties have now presented their candidates. An important duty has been faithfully discharged by the respective conventions. The campaign may now be conducted icith out j>crgoiwl aMpcrnont, and doeided upon the principles of the two great parties. This is as it should be. It is an auspicious sign of the times, and if thcconnty conven tions are equally fortunate in the selection of legislative candidates, there will he a -top pHt to the deplorable corruption at the scat of government under a new reign of honest men and conscientious legislators.— J'ittshnr' h J'ost, June 281/t, 1 so7. The j'ost, in referring to the above, on the 29th of August, was pleased to say: "We have nothing to take back or mod ify. Of Judge Williams' private or legal reputation we have nothing but words of praise, and however it may suit some pug nacious and heady politicians, wc cannot bring ourselves to view personal assaults as either wise or politic." G EX. GRANT, pursuing his policy of re trenchment, has ordered u reduction of the clerical force now employed in the Paymaster General's office to one-half the present num ber. Accordingly clerks were discharged from that department during last week. FROM WASHINGTON Ciitint l'tils lbs Foot Down —Rebels not lodic Appointed to Cicil offices. —licvcr- tip Johnson tendered the portfolio of Stale, <f'c. it'e., WASHINGTON Sept, 3. —The important fact which rises above the usuul Washing ton news and gossip, is the promulgation of (Jen. Grant's order to commanders of Mili tary Districts, instructing them to make no appointments to civil office of persons who have been removed by themselves or their predecessors in command. Inasmuch as this is not strictly a disapproval of any act done by a Military Commander, it was free ly declared in administration circles that the order was not in strict accordance with the much discussed supplemental reconstruction law. However this may be, the other has added a valuable fact to the difference grow ing between the President and Grant, and as such is universally commended. This or der was telegraphed day before yesterday by command of General Grant to Generals Pope, Sheridan, Sickles, Ord and Schofield. It is claimed here by certain parties that one reason for issuing it was the belief of Lou isianians in Washington that Gov. Wells would bo reinstated as Governor of Louis iana. Information has been received that the Republicans of Maryland have decided not to vote on the Constitution, to be submitted on the l*th of September to the State for ratification. In lieu of it they have pre pared an address to Congress, stating that said Constitution is not Republican iu form, as it disfranchises eighty thousand colored people, and does not allow colored people to testify iu courts where white people arc parties to a controversy. It is learned from an unimpeachable source that in an interview wiih Senator lleverdy .Johnson on Thursday, ho was ver bally tendered the position of Secretary of State. Mr. Johnson made no answer, and returned to l&ahitnorc last evening, llis friends do not believe he will accept, but this is mure conjecture. t in: INDIAN WAUL Enlistment o( Volunteers in Montana — Skirmishing on the I'liuns. The Montana Font, of the I7th, says: General Terry, commander of the depart ment, after investigating the aetiou of the Executive of the territory in regard to the volunteer force, gave his unqualifk d appro val, and fully empowered Governor Smith to prosecute the campaign against the Indi ans. I n consequence of this action re enlist ments and other preparations; are being vigorously pushed forward for immediate service. lte'iable intelligence from the Plains, re ceived yesterday, gives the following par ticulars of Indian operations; A party on the road to Fort Reno lost three men killed at Crazy Woman's Fork. Two hundred head of stock were run off from Wells, Fargo & Co.'s train on the 16th instant. Near Reno two men, belonging to a train of citi zens, were killed. On the same day the fight at Fort Phil. Kearney occurred, the escort to a hay party from Fort Smith were attacked by a large body of Indians, who were gallantly repulsed with heavy loss. Only one body was left on the Held. Two men" of the escort were killed. The correspondence oflhe liidlctin, from Arizona, shows that in the single district of Lubac sixteen men have been killed, six wounded, and nearly $20,000 worth of pro perty taken off and destroyed by the Indiana since March. The troops are now trying all in their power for the protection of settlers. A dispatch from Fort Ilays, Kama.-, of the JOtli ult., says: No news has been re ceived from the force sent against the Indi ans, but a severe battle is believed to have luken \U the savages in this section say they do not want peace, and will till the Commissioners if possible. They are driv ing all the buffalos towards their villages on the Republican river. A telegram front Gen. Augur's headquar ters says the Indians attacked a Govern ment train near Fort C. F. Smith on the 26th ult., and were repulsed with a loss of* twenty killed. One officer and four soldiers were killed on our side. All the hostile tribes around Fort Phil. Kearney are under the leadership of Red Cloud, and are bent on war. Black Hawk, chief of the Utah Indians, favors peace. A battle between the Ogallalla ar.d IJrule tribes of Sioux In dians occurred on the 26that Cedar Canyon, thirty miles south of Juiesburg, in which several savages were killed. The Johnson-Grant Correspondence. President Johnson, having first decided to di.-plaoe General Sheridan, is sufficiently complacent to ask the opinion of Gen. G runt as to the expediency of the change. Wheth er this was done by reason of that singular weakness of human nature which leads men to ask advice after they have irrevocably made up their minds, or whether it arose from a desire to put a plausible -tatemeut on record, will probably never be known. I t is only ascertained tliat Mr. Johnson, hav ing received the earnest remonstrance of the General on Saturday, proceeded on the fol lowing Monday to controvert all his opin ions, with the air of a man who had expec ted all these objections, and long ago made up his mind how to an.-wer them. This letter of the President is not of overwhelm ing intcrc-t. Tbc public decided some time ago that Mr. Johnson was not the man to sacrifice his own little schemes and aspira tions on the shrine of patriotism, and his assertions and protestations and arguments have no weight, simply because nobody will pay the slightest attention to them. Gen. Grant, by nature reticent and by habit de voting his attention first of all to his own business, has not yet satiated the curiosity of the people. What he has said, there fore, is of far more importance. As regards this point, it is annoying to find the record very incomplete. It was already known that he had opposed the re moval of Sheridan : what he said about the change in the cabinet was of more interest. The letter unfolding his views on this sub ject, the President for reasons best known to himself, persists in withholding. Gen. Grant by his reference to this letter makes it properly a part of the published corres pondence : indeed, this is manifestly incom plete without it. It cannot be doubted that the President could have had the injunction of privacy removed from this document, if it had suited his interest to demand it. The inference is that the suppressed letter of Gen. Grant is of a nature far more damag ing to the policy of the administration than anything from him which has been publish ed. We cannot think that the President would be actuated by any tenderness towards cither Gen. Grant or Mr. Stanton. llow much ingeniousness was shown by the President in appointing as the successor j of Sheridan an officer who had already cx- I pressed his decided unwillingness to take the place, and who proves to be too ill to accept it under any circumstances, wo need not undertake to decide. In the existing state of General Thomas's health we cannot see that, his views on reconstruction and his past reeord have any great hearing on his selection as commander of the filth military district. It is clear, however, that the re moval of Sheridan will be considered, as Gen. Grant intimates, a triumph by the unreconstructed clemeut of the South, no matter who proves to be his successor. And that he will be ultimately replaced by an officer who has at heart the conscientious completion of the work of reconstruction prescribed by Congress is net yet, we think, demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt. OF the 22,000 registered voters of San I'Taneisco. 11,000 are naturalised citizens. Facta for Government Bondholders, and the Holder* of Greenbacks. R'tul and lb fleet. In 1861 eleven States seceded; and since then only twenty-three have been represent ed in Congress, uut il the admission of Tenn essee in 1H66. All the United States Bonds— s-20 s, 7- 30's and HlAO's—all, the greenbacks, and all the National banks, were created by this Congress of twenty-three States. President Johnson calls this an "assumed Congress" —therefore not legal. 11 is sup porters and the Democrats call it a " rump Congress ," and a " usurping Congress , and hence not a lawful Congress', and tho great effort has been to elect Congressmen in the North, and admit enough froru t lie rebel States to euforee this " 1 olicy. If a Congress representing but twenty three States be not a laiofal Congress, then every United States lh>nd, and all our green backs, and National Bank notes, are worth nothing; because an unlawful Congress could not make lawful Bonds for lawful money. . , .. The mad effort, so recently made by the rebels and their sympathizers, to destroy this Government In/ force of arms, failed. Thus far the attempt to do the same thing, through Congress, has also failed, because of the action of tho loyal voters at the bal lot-box ; and the last effort at destruction is uow being made THROUGH THE FOURTH. Witness the recent attempt by Democrat ic lawvers to indueo the Supreme Uourt of the United States to issue an injunction, nullifying the Hccoosfcructioo Laws of f on gress in Mississippi, Georgia, and other rebel States. Read also the opinion of GEORGE SriAitswoon.tlie Democratic nom incc for Judge ol the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in which he gravely denies the constitutional power of Congress to make paper money a legal tender. ( Horn rs. Trott,Legal Intelligencer of March l.Sth, 1864, page 92.) Judge WOODWARD and THOMPSON of the same Court announced from the bench the saim alarming doctrine, in 1865. ( Set Merc in e rs. Sailor et al. /.<- gal Jniellie/encer of June 16 A 30 —1865, pages 188 & 205.) And this, too, in the face of the fact,that the Superior Courts of every loyal State-in which the question ban been raised, have sustained the power of Congress. It requires, therefore, but little knowl edge of cither arithmetic or law to estimate the imminent danger of putting any more men of Judge SHARSWOOD'S opinions on the Supreme Bench of thu State! If you believe the present Congress to be unlawful, or desire our National currency and Government Bonds to be declared un lawful, vote for GEORGE SIIARHWOOD. If you believe the present Congress to be lawful, or desire their action on Currency and Bonds to stand good, vote to sustain them, —for the party that created the Green back- and the Bonds, —the party that sus tained the war, and compelled submission to tho National authority,—and that stands pledged to keep faith with the Bondholders, and to maintain the National credit —vote for HENRY W. WILLIAMS, the worthy and honored nominee of this party. THE second section of the army appro priation act of March, 1867, contains an im portant enlargement of the powers of Gen eral Grant, and render- any military order which is not promulgated by liiiu inoperative.

THE CONSPIRATORS AT TIIF. DRY TORTU GAS. —The Washington Star publishes the following extracts from a private letter, da ted at Fort Jefferson, Florida, August IS; There are hut few prisoners here now. forty-five in all. and two thirds of them, if not more, are United States soldiers, who have been sent here for various crimes, prin cipally desertion. The conspirators are lodged like the other prisoners, in the sec ond tier of casemates. Their quarters are cool, dry, and airy, and command quite as pleasant a view as there is. They manage to live pretty well, with their Government rations and what their friends send them. Arnold is employed as a clerk, and seems satisfied. Spangler and O'Lauglilin work at their trade as carpenters. Mudd works now in the carpenter shop, and is getting quite handy with the tools. They all are in excellent health, but arc a little thinner than is natural for them. They have the benefit of the library, and Mudd and Arnold read some. On the whole they arc much better off than they would be anywhere else, I believe certainly they are better oft than any prisoners I ever saw. A reporter visi ted the post this morning, and Mudd ex pressed some fears that he would publish something concerning them, and said that they would much rather be left alone, as they already suffered a good deal from newspaper accounts. IN a recent speech in Ohio, in referring to colored suffrage, Hon. John A. Bingham said: Your armies bore witness that. 175,000 of the black population, made free by the proc lamation of liberty, were in the army of the Republic. When you consider that the majority of ilie black population were the slaves of rebels, and within the territory, unable to signify to the United States Gov ernment their willingness to servo it, the fact that as large a proportion of the black population as of the free whites rushed to the defence of your flag, speaks well for their patrioti.-m. In reference to this, what said (I eneral Sherman? "The hand that lays down tho musket must ho permitted to take up the ballot." That was the soldier's opinion, the patriot's opinion. THE PROGRESS OF THE PACIFFIC RAII.- ROAD. — I The opening of the tunnel on the California side of the Pacific Railroad, through the summit of the Sierra Nevada, is announced. The most formidable and costly difficulties on the Pacific end of the route arc now surmounted, and hereafter the constructors of the road have the prospect of a cheap and easy route. The track is al ready being laid on the eastern slope of the mountains and Nevada will probably be reached during the present season. From this side tho road is also progress ing rapidly, although the Indian difficulties have done much to embarrass and retard it. The Omaha line has already reached a dis tatice of 550 miles, while the Kansas branch must be finished for nearly 300 uiiies. It is more than probable that the year 1870 will witness the ears running through from the Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

TUB irrepressible Binckley appears before the public again to-day with a garbled state ment of the reasons which led to the removal of General Sickles. This statement is only of importance because it shows that ths Pres ident nas so little confidence in his action that he finds it necessary to defend himself in the public prints by publishing a semi-olficial ar gument to sustain his course. THE recent order of General Grant that "district commanders will make no appoint ments to civil ottice of persons who hare been removed by themselves or their prede cessors iu command," does not make a new issue between General Grant and the Presi dent. There is good authority for asserting that the rumors of difficulties having arisen on this subject are groundless. THE disposition to remove Gen. Howard from the post where he has acccomplished so much good as head ol the Freedmcn's Bureau is one of the most significant and unfortunate indications of the perverse intentions of An drew Johnson. The rare combination of qualities which preeminently qualify him for that statiou has enabled him iu discharging his duties to render invaluable services to the colored race and to the country at large. To remove him would he an act of wanton wict edness and cruelty, of which only an insen sate despot could be guilty. 'J'UE pretence of Andrew Johnson that the removal of Sheridan and Sickles is necessary to insure a proper execution of the military reconstruction bill is one of the baldest im postures of the age. His repeated avowals of hostility to that measure, his attempts to defeat its passage, and subsequent efforts to distort its meaning, have clearly shown that he was opposed to the law,- and the entire public clearly understand that he opposes the execution satisfactory to its friends simply because Sheridau and Sickles have faithfully complied with the wishes of Congress. IT is stated that Gordon Granger, a White House military politician, who was confirmed by the Senate some time since as a colonel in the army, but who has done no duty since the [ close of the war, beyond "swinging around the circle" and advising President Johnson to persist in reinstating the dethroned rebels of the South, will soon be assigned to regular soldier duty, or he compelled to resign his position. General Grant iu understood to have become thoroughly disgusted with his course recently, as he used to be with hospit al hummers who played sick to shun duty during the war. COMMISSIONER ROLLINS.— The removal of Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Rev enue Department, secros to he the chief ob ject of the professional politicians who have the ear of the President.

We trust that, for the sake of the revenue, they may he unsuccessful.
