TILE VALIDITY OF THE LEGAL
TENDER ACT.
A number of cases are now wni
iia decision by the Supreme Court of
the linityd States, in which are
volved the censtitutiunality and, ef
fect of the Legal TLnder act. As to
what decision will be, opinions are
divided ; some authorities confident
ly predicting that it will be over
thrown, 'find portraying in alarming
colc;rs the confiequences of such an
event. The decision itself will be
rendered in a few days, so that spec
ulation upon its character has but a
temporary value. .
To 'allay, however, whatever ap
preliensiou may - have been excited
by the pwapect that the Court will
declare greenbacks to . be valueless
as cut rency, it May be as well to-re
mernbt r that such a declaration is
not necessary, in -the first place, to
tint disposal of the cases which have
be; n presznted, nor is it at all prob
able. It may positibly he decided
that contract.s specifically made for
Cr; payment of coin, must be met in
c3in, or that debts incurred before
the passage of the Legal Tender act
are unaffected by its provisions but
these are matters which concern but
'll small portion of the community.—
Nearly all the indebtment exiting
pri-,r to ISftil has been long ago
rdis
charged and a,, to special cont acts
for the delivery of coin, all who have
made them have at the same time
ruhde preparation for fulfilling Lhem.
But that the Judges of the Supreme
Court arc going to overturn front top
to bottom the whole business Of the
nation by throwing greenbacks out
of circulation, is too preposterOus to
be believed fur a moment. They will
take good cars to do no more than
dispose of the cases immediately be-
fore tl.em, on the narrowest possible
gronnd ; and this, as we have said,
mill hot involve the general validity
of the Ltgul Tencl..,i act at all.
SENATOR MORTON'S FINANCE BILL
Senator MORTON, of Indiana, has in
troduced a new and important finance
bill to. the Senate; and, as the . tele
gr.ph report*, is prepared to •advo
cab' it with Lis customary ability.
The first section of the bill *Vides
that hereafter no grill' shall be sold
by the Treasury, and that all its ac- .
cumulation above the amount requir
ed to pay the interest of the public
debt, and other uses specified by law,
shall be reserved and set apart for
the rt demPtion of United States notes
and fractional currency. •
Section second provides that on
at.d afttr the Ist of July, 1870, the
Treasury shall redeem its legal ten
di r notes in coin, dollar for dollar.—
That is to sty, on July 1, 1810, or in
about eighteen months from this
time, the Government shall resume
specie payments, promising at that
tirrie tc be ready to give dollar in coin
for dollar in paper, to the amount of
about four hundred millions, if its re
demption is demanded.
Section third provides that on the
first af- January, 1872, the national
banks shall redeem their issues in
coin, and that after Jarbl, 1870,they
shall retain for this puipose; all coin
paid on the bonds held by them.
Section fourth compels the-aational
banks to hold until Jan. 1, Iff72, the
full reserve of legal tender notes as
now required by law, and after that
time to replace these withdriawn by
coin to a like amount, and Ithen to
hold coin in reserve instead, allowing
them, however, - under condiions, to
hold not exceeding two-fifths of said
1
,reserve in United States notes.
Section fifth ptovides that
rotary of the Treasury may

currency, according to his j

THE Thus RAILWAY LEASES TEE AT
LANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN: The Erie
Railway Company hasileased the At

for a term of twelve yeirs, triton con
dition of the Erie Company ' piying
thirty per cent. of the gross earnings
of the leased road, or a minimum of,
$1.800,000 yearly, in the event of the
thirty per cent. of earnings falling
below that amount. The Erie Com
pany engages to keep the track, sta
tions and rolling stock of the Aden

tic and Great Western in good repair,
and gives to that Company the option
of renewing the lease at its expira

U. S. SENATOR.—A • large meeting
of the Republicans of Tioga county
was recently held at the Court House;
in Yi,rellsbovugh, when the following
resolution was unanimously adopted •
" That we hereby request, and in ,

TFIADDEL - 8 STEVENB.—The session of
the House of Representatives Thors•
day was occupied by the delivering
of eulogies upon Thaddeus Stevens.
The galleries were filled with persons
anxious to heat' the panegyrics be
sttr.ved upon the late statesman, and
the greater portion of the ~t ime the
addressee were attentively listened
to by members - and Spectators. The
eulogies were all devcid of fulsoine
adulation, and were but - practiCal
analyses of Mr. Stevens' character
and the eminent worth of his services
during his long career of public life.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAIII.-Mr. Berg-
Ler of the Daily Telegraph, has, is
sued a prospectus in which he oilers
his paper during the approaching
sessions of the Legislature for $1
, 50.
The. Telegraph is a live Republican
paper and its reports of the eayings
and doings of our lawmakers are al
ways satist actory and accurate. ,Its
location at the capital. of the State
gives it facilities that are of imm e nse
value to an enterprising. jouroal ;
rendering it indispensable to all who
desire to be well posted in tlaepciliti
cal and general news of the State.—

number of a new paper called the
Beaver Radical, published at Beaver,
Pa., by M. S. Quay, a gentleman,
well known to the politicians ! and
editorial profession in this Stai.e.—
.The Radical will doubtless prove a
decided success. The presentnum
ber gives evidence of decided ability
and spirit, and contains a variety of
interesting matter. An article, enti
tled—" The Peace of 1868," froib the
pen of A. K. McClure, forms an at
tractive feature of the first nuEnber.

Government at Washington, front the
30th of June, 1807,,. to the 30th of
June, 1869. The tedolution , was
tabled by , a vote of 91 to 78. •It is
quite probable that the attempt to
pass this resolution will be renewed,
jar TM Nevi York Tribune,sPeak
ing of the proposed abolition of the
franking privilege, says . : "A poor
man who wants to write to his-son
in the far West must pay postage on
his letter ; but any scamp who can
make a fac•smile of a Congressman's
stamp can mail a care load of aimless
rubbish every day in the week, with
out paying a cent. < Something might
be gained by abolishing the Use of

is to abolish franking."
