' The. address of Attorney-General Hoar to the Supreme Court, upon which it was deter mined to grant a re-hearing upon the question of the constitutionality of the act of 1802, making the notes of the Government a <i tender ” in payment of debts, was character ized by the most delicate courtesy and refined elegance, and no doubt will do much to en hance his national reputation. But with all the delicacy and courtesy that marked the per formance, it was perhaps not possible to pre sent the gist of the reasons for desiring a re argnment without-the assignment of causes that must have touched the Chief Justice in a tender place, though in doing so he was at the same time both courteous and incisive.. After speaking of the great importance of the de cision, and that it does not merely go to the extent of saying that the law did not apply to pre-existing contracts, he says: <■ jjut your Honors have decided that it was not within theconstitutional power of Con gress to insert that provision making Treasury notes legal tender for private debts previ ously contracted, in the statute. ‘ We have, then, this position of affairs which, both on private and public grounds, I feel that I havo a right to press upon your Honors’ notice —a statute passed by large majorities of both Houses of Congress, approved by the Presi dent, having all the forms of law ; the atten tion of Congress, when it passed, being called to the Question ofits constitutionality, with this . -weight ot authority to begin with on one side; a statute substantially acquiesced in by the people of the United States for eight years, more than seven years of which millions upon millioua of contracts have been settled, to the great loss of parties to them ; a statute which, so far as I am aware, with but one exception has been held to be constitutional by every State Court upon and after the most thorough, elaborate and exhaustive discussion; a statute upon the constitutionality of which this Court, at a time when by law it consisted of nine Judges, did by a majority only of four to three, enter its judgment, with two vacan cies upon the Bench ; and it stands, therefore, reducing it to its essence, that upon the judi cial opinion of a single man, whose voice turned this majority, that great question is ad indicated; and it, which is a supposable case, it turned out that it was an opinion about -which even the deciding Judge of the Court had entertained a different opinion, at some other time, it would come down to the point, that, On the differing opinions at different times of his life, of a single man, the whole constitutional power of Congress, and the execution in a time of the direst national ne cessity, after this long popular acquiescence, and these decisions of State tribunals, was for ever to be subverted and set aside and ex punged from the practical powers of this nation by the judgment of this Court, and upon the question whether it was necessary for the exercise of admitted Constitutional powers, deciding, that that necessity is a.judi cial question and not a political one. “The gravity of such a decision, your Honors, I have no doubt, justly estimate; that it was my duty, if that question could be pre sented again with propriety, in the exercise of my official functions, to do so, seemed to me clear; and may it please your Honors, in volving, as it'does, such a great mass of pri vate interests, but more beoause it seems to me to involve a fundamental principle in the powers of the Government, and in my appre hension to involve the question whether it is even, constitutional to have a rebellion beyond a certain magnitude, I have decided, at the earliest possible period, to present it to your Honors when the Court should he full, and to ask that, if this is not to be henceforth and forever the settled law of the land,it shall now be declared -what the law is.” „ . •Upon this pungent statement of the question the case was re-opened for discussion, and it is a subject of congratulation that the argu ment will be participated in by the highest law officer of the Government, wh» has displayed in this preliminary proceeding such marked tapacity for grasping and handling this great question of constitutional power (if it be a question), both as a lawyer and patriot. Asheputs .it,- the. Court will now be called upon to say whether in the exercise of an ad mitted constitutional power (the power of declaring war) the means necessary to carry ■> it .on are • to he determined by the judi cial or legislative branch of the government. That it belongs to the latter, we have no doubt he will clearly show; aud in doing so the Court will be presented in the at> titutje, in tie language P? Chief Justice Mai v ' shall, of haviag overstepped tie limits of their judicial functions. By going back now and re versing their decision (as the Court has often done before), they will leave the “just power of the government,” as President Grant said in his letter to Judge Grier, unimpaired, aud a fu ture Congress may resort to similar means, if ..... they shall deem it “ necessary,” to carry the na tion through another trouble. The allusion to the change of opinion of the ’ Chief Justice, and of the momentous effects of it, if left unreversed, is most pertUrent and •effective. In his letter to Tbaddeus Stevens of the 20th January, 1802, Mr. Chase, as Secre tary of the Treasury, argued that the authority to issue paper aud make it a “ tender,” was “ in dispensably necessary,” and..now, on the ’Jth February, 1810, in a decision by the highest judicial body in the land, he tells the legislative power of the Government that they had no right to do it, and that thereby they violated the Constitution they were sworn to support! In doing so, the four judges who made the de cision, and that too when there were two ,ya • canties. onthe bench, assumed a very grave re sponsibility. As pertinent to Ibis, we were struck upon reading an official opinion by the Solicitor cf this city,, addressed to a member of the City Councils, last week. He says “it has been affirmed and reaffirmed by the highest judicial tribunal of this State that an act of Assembly is not to be considered void or unconstitutional unless it violates the constitution clearly, palpa. THE DAILY .EVENING BIT! .1 .ETIN—PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, .APRIL ft 1819- X-J.I..LJ ■M r S : : •• ■• ' • - 111 1 11111 * 1 """ ■" I v - ~~ nnV /innnc bly, plainly, and in such a manner as to ; pre clude all doubt or hesitation." j We think the same doctrine was held by Chief J.Usticei Marshall, in the case of McCul loch vs. The State of Maryland, which the court is very familiar with. We take the occasion to add that we notice the London Times takes an interest in this question, and that it expresses the hope that tie decision of Chief Justice Chase will be sus-, tained. We merely remark that,if so,the power of the Congress of ihV United States will here after be restrained from adopting this resource, however great the emergency, and however “necessary,” while the Parliament of Great Britain, having no constitution but its own will, will he free to adopt it at its pleasure, as it did do, in effect, in-1797, when engaged in a war with what was then republican France. We are inclined to think it would not be wise to take counsel from that quarter. the subject dropped. “ Speaker Strang said jocularly that it ap peared to be pretty evident that the amend ment had been put in by certain gentlemen in the Senate who were evidently anxious that other gentlemen of the Senate and other gen t/emeu of the House should know nothing about it. [Laughter.] The subject then dropped.” i So runs the report of the Legislative pro ceedings, yesterday, upon the report of the Judiciary Committee on the fraudulent Tax bill. We have not the least doubt about the “ laughter,” hut we imagine that there is a great mistake in the statement that “ the subject then dropped.” It may have .been dropped, with “laughter” at the Speakers jocularity, out of the Legislative proceedings, but it is very far from being, dropped out of the minds of the voters of Philadelphia, as the gentlemen immediately concerned in it will undoubtedly find, when they next come before the public. This piece of extraordinary legislation,—if legislation it called, —is considered at Harrisburg, as it-now appears, as a clever and rather amusing joke. Mr. Speaker Strang refers to it “jocularly,” and bis remarks are received with “ laughter,” and then “ the sub ject is dropped.” Mr. Connell is regarded With increased admiration and respect-by his co-legislators, as a master of . the art of occult legislation. The .Judiciary Committee grace fully flings its mantle, glittering with the purest white-wash, over the shoulders of Con nell, Henszey and Hong, and although the garment is too narrow aud too tattered wholly to conceal the fraudulent character of the pro ceeding, these distinguished legislators will undoubtedly comfort themselves with the be lief that their little conspiracy is completely covered up, and that the subject is “ dropped. It is said that the ostrich indulges in something of the same idea-when he hides himself from his pursuers by buiying his head in the sand. The report of the Judiciary Committee on this fraudulent Tax bill is just what might have been expected. It labors hard to make out a case to cover up the fraudulent intent of this whole proceeding, and only succeeds in fastening the responsibility upon the three in dividuals, between whom this imposition upon the Legislature, the Governor, the City Coun cils aud the people of Philadelphia was “set up.” It clearly establishes the fact that the conspiracy was concealed from two out of the four Senators to whom the hill of Councils was referred, and that to Hong was entrusted the task of smuggling the fraudulent bill, — made fraudulent by the way the alleged “amendment ” was secretly substituted for the geuuine bill, —through the forms of the House. The report says that Senator Connell “ con sulted Senator Henszey in relation to certain amendments which he proposed to make, who approved them after being informed of their import.” What does all this amount to? It is not pretended that Mr. Henszey ever saw the proposed “ certain amendments,” and there is no evidence in the published report that these “ certain amendments ” and the bill after wards substituted for the House bill were the same. Senator Connell was entirely safe in “ consulting” Senator Henszey, as there was not the slightest danger of that gentleman doing otherwise than Mr. Connell’s master mind indicated. The whole report‘is shallow and unsatisfac tory. It clears up none of the charges of trickery and deception in the manipulation of this bill, and although the tone of Legislative morals is so utterly low that the Speaker of the House “jocularly”-dismisses the subject with a merry jest at the expense of those who were thus grossly cheated, we greatly over-rate the geheral tone of sentiment in this community if the experience of the next few months proves that this subject has been “ dropped.” MUSIC Hi THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Since the appropriation of $lO,OOO for music ! in the public schools, the Committee on Re vision of Studies and Mr. Superintendent Lonis have besn diligently engaged in perfecting their plans for a more thorough system ot musical education jn the various schools. Some of the teachers first appointed have been removed, and others have been selected for the vacan cies. The Committee has not yet had an op portunity to report its matured plans to the Board of Controllers, but we' feel assured, frpm the temper and spirit with which the sub ject has been taken up, that the suggestions of the Committee will he of such a practical nature as to meet the approval of the Board. •It is understood that an examination for music teachers will. he held at the Girls’ Normal School, on thelffth mat., at nine o’clock, before a competent board of examiners, and from those receiving certificates of merit the sectional school hoards are expected to elect teachers. The school districts have been grouped, for this, purpose,.according to the number of schools in each, the teachers being assigned as follows: One each to the First, Second, Third, Tbir -teenth," Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-seventh. The other districts are grouped as follows, each two having a teacher assigned to them: Fourth and Fifth, Sixth and Sixteenth, Seventh anil Eighth, Ninth and Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth, Nine teenth and Twenty-third, Twenty-first and Twenty-second, Twenty-sixth aud Twenty eighth- We trust the 'School Controllers will exact the fullest co-operation from the principals and teachers in the several schools, in carrying out the present expeiiment of teaching music as a ■ regular branch of education. The theory adopted is far in advance of any previous at tempt to teach music in thn phbllc schools of Philadelphia, 1 indeed it may be said to be the first attempt of any kind, that has been se riously made, and it should therefore have the fullest and fairest trial. Heretofore the chil dren of some of the schools have been taught to sing simple songs, by car and rote; but they have had no opportunity to acquire any such knowledge of music as will be of use to them •in after life. Let the experiment now be tho roughly and patiently tested, and let judgment upon it be reserved, until expeiience shows the weak or the strong points of the system. A WRONG I’KEVENIED. Among : the many wicked and disgraceful doings of jthe miserable body of scoundrels that has been pretendibg to legislate for Pennsylva nia, was one meant to injure one of our oldest and best institutions —the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society. It was cunningly devised, by some mischief-makers here, who hoped to black-mall the Saviug Fund. But the mana gers were too wise and too hongpt for theno. The bill was passed and sent to the Governor) before any special attention bad been called to it. Some members, when ques- tioned concerning it, said they had not understood its., character. One active and influential member said he bad supposed, when he voted on It, that it was a bill to se cure married women in their rights, while there is not an allusion to married women in auy part of it. The Governor was made aware of the character of the bill, and he would not have signed it. But the Senators also were ashamed of their action in letting it pass, and yesterday it was recalled from the Governor, reconsidered, and postponed in-, definitely, which kills it. The .mischief-makers began their attack upon the Saving Fund Society in the courts, where they failed, as they deserved. They then went to Harrisburg and had a bill passed “ defining charitable organizations to be those where the corporators receive ho profit.” The apparent intention was to bring the Saving Fund and other kindred institutions under the operation of a law passed in 1855, and have the deposits unclaimed after a certain period escheated to the State. The real intention, however, was to have these institutions buy-off the advocates of the bill: for such a law would never have stood in the courts. We are glad that there Was sense enough and honesty enough in the Senate to vote for the recall of the bill from the Governor, though we are quite confident he would have vetoed it. But the fact that such a bill should have gone through the Legislature at all is a fresh illustration of the recklessness that has prevailed at Harrisburg throughout the session. The morning papers all fall into a blunder in their reports of the Legislative proceediugs ) by which they make Mr. Elliott apologize for a thing which he never did. They all say ; - “Mr. Elliott also controverted the position taken by Messrs. Henszey and Davis, ami stated that he had not dodged the vote on the subject on Saturday, but had been absent.” The sentence was correctly .printed in the Evening Bulletin yesterday, as follows: “Mr. Elliott also controverted the position taken by Mr. Henszey. , , , Mr. Davis stated he had not dodged the vote on the subject on Saturday, but had been absent.” Nobody has ever charged Mr. Elliott .with “dodging” any vote, aud as he was not only present, but was actively engaged in endeavor ing to repeal the fraudulent bill, it is remark able that this blunder, should have been un animously adopted by the morning press.

It appears that the original bill, purporting to take effect in some interior county, was introduced and passed in one house, but has been defeated in a Committee of the other. While there is no absolute evidence that this bill would have been amended before its final passage so as to apply to Philadelphia, there is a strong reason to believe that such would have been tho fact,if the public attention nad not been called to the scheme. 3500 O’Olook. The following, in substance, is the Treasury hill as agreed upon by both Houses: Requiring the State Treasurer to give bonds with ten sureties for half a million dollars; .fixing his salary at five thousand dollars: making it his duty to keep two separate books of account — one for the Sinking Fund and one for the general revenue. Balances shall he struck the last days of each mpnth, and he shall at that time furnish the Sinking Fund Commissioners with certificates show ing the amount to their credit. The Sinking Fund Commissioners, ou the first day of March, April, May, September, October and November, shall use the money shown to be due to them by said certificate in purchasing the securities of the State at the current rates. The moneys shown to be due to the Sinking Fund shall he deposited on the first day of each month, at the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Philadelphia,to the credit of the State. Tho Commissioners shall, in course, provide for the interest as it falls due, and the securities which are purchased shall be cancelled. The State Treasurer shall annually make a report to the Legislature,showing the sources of revenue belonging to the Sinking Fundas well as to the State. A neglect or refusal of tho Treasurer or the Commissioners to perform their duties shall be a cause of impeachment. During Jtily of each year the Commissioners, when they shall have any money belonging to the Sinking Fund, shall receive proposals for the redemption of any of the loan of the Com monwealth due on the first of August next; and monthly thereafter the Commissioners shall publish in Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh a statement showing the balance in the State Treasury and the amount of tho loan redeemed; and the State Treasurer shall report monthly to the’Auditor-Geueral,giving the source and the amount of income and the proportion which belongs to the Sinking Fund, and name tho amount of the deposits with each bank or individual. This record shall be open to the public. The banks shall also render an account monthly. All sorts of treasury projects have been dis cussed during the present session, and at least five different hills have been presented. Tho result arrived at has just been given, and it seems to he a mass of inharmonious sections, from all the different bills. fßy the American Press Association.J *oBTY-FIRSr CONGRESS. Second Session.

Mr. Edmunds introduced a resolution look ing to the reduction of printing copies of the census returns. Agreed to. Mr. Morrill (Me.) moved to postpone all prior orders to take up the hill making an ap propriation for deficiencies in the public service for the current year. Agreed to. Said bill was taken up and considered. An appropriation of a few thousand dollars for the Custom HOuse at Sandusky, Ohio, was stricken out. The appropriation for the New York Post-office was reduced to eight hundred thousand dollars. The appropriation for the Appraisers’ Office at Philadelphia was re duced to 530,000. Mr. Sherman criticised the items, amounting to some sixty-four thousand for furniture for two custom-houses and two court-houses, and said he never saw a court-house or custom-honse which required twelve thousand or fifteen thousand dollars’ worth of furniture. He said a great deal had been said about the retrenchment and economy of the Administra tion during the first year. Why all these defi ciency items? Mr. Morrill explained at length, and said the expenses were not one dollar more than was absolutely required. Mr. Thurman rejoined and moved to amend the items referred to by reduoing the several amounts about three-fifths. Not agreed to. Mr. Casserly said the excess of the appro priations for public buildings alone in this bill oyer the deficiency bill last year was nineteen millions. The morning hour having expired, the Chair announced the Georgia bill the regular order. Mr. Morrill moved to postpone that and all other orders. ; M r.

Green two thousand dollars in full, expenses incurred in the contested election case ol Van \Vyek vs. Green for the Eleventh New York district.

New Yokk, April 6.—Other persons ex pressed opinions and' were rejected. Edward L. ‘Trowbridge, a broker, had expressed an opinion, hiit. thought he could determine on the evidence. The counsel for prosecution contended that he was acceptable, The chal lence was withdrawn, and the juror was, ac cepted and sworn in. M aking the riinth. Five other persons were rejected. One asked the Court: “ If I should find McFar land had killed Richardson, and the defence proved adultery on the part of Mrs. McFar land, will I be obliged to give a verdict of guilty ?” The Court said: “ 1 cannot answer that question now.” The counsel for the defence said: “ That is not all our defence.

We shall prove a case that will make every father in the coun try tremble.!’ Others were rejected, when the Court took a recess of twenty minutes. The tenth juror has been accepted In the McFarland trial. | By the American Prose Association .1 FOIITY-FIRST CONGRESS. Second Session.. norsE—f Continued from tho Fourth Edition Mr. Wood, by uuanimous consent, made a personal explanation. In a speech a few days since,on the bill to discontinue the Freedman’s Bureau, lie had charged the Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Affairs wiih having made money for himself and grown rich by manag ing that bureau. He had read a letter this morning from General O. O. Howard, which he sent to the Clerk’s desk to be read, denying liis statements. Ho (Wood) had made the statement on a firm conviction of its truth, and he then believed it well founded. He was now: well assured it was correct. .General ‘Howard had, as Commissioner, disbursed over nine millions, and over these expendi tures had exercised exclusive control. Mr. Wood proceeded to recount a large number of instances in which Gen. Howard had transcended his legitimate functions and served himself, family and coadjutors in his administration of freedmen’s affairs. He therefore charged that General O. O. Howard has been guilty of malversation and mal feasance in office; that he has taken money from the fund entrusted to him and in vested in churches in this city and elsewhere; that portions of tho land sold by Geri. How ard for the benefit of tpo Howard University were disposed of to his own family and relations; that he has advanced large sums to the Young Men’s Christian Association of this city, and sent their bonds to Tennessee for the freedmen’s schools; that he belongs to the Freedmen’s Bureau Ring, which has been enriching favored individuals through disbursements or the Government bounty to freedmen, &c. Mr. Wood’s indictment contains 10 counts in all, about equally severe. In conclusion, he submitted a resolution directing the.Commit tea ou Freedmen’s Affairs to investigate these charges and send for persons and papers. Mr. MayDard objected to the introduction of the resolution under cover of a personal explanation. Sir. Wood did not think Mr. Maynard would assume personal or political responsi bility of keeping out the resolution. There was not a single Democrat on the Freedmen Committee, and Mr. Howard’s friends would have full power over the investigations. Mr. Maynard (excitedly)—l will assume Strsonal and political responsibility in the roadest sense of the term. Mr Dawes moved to refer the whole inves tigation to the Committee on Education and Labor, with instructions to send for persons and papers. Ho did so because there are no Democrats on the Freedman’s Committee. Mr. Peters, as a friend of General Howard hoped the investigation would be assigned to* whatever —'-committee- the enemies of that officer might designate. He waif Sure-to come out unscathed t by the most searching inquiries. ’ Air. Butler said if General Howard should be proved guilty, the House would deal with him to the full exteut of its authority; but if it should he proved that Mr. \V ood had made himself the vehicle of false and malicious charges, then he gave notice that the House would deal with him. [Sensation.] Mr. Wood said he was personally responsi ble for all he had charged. After this investi gation has been finished, the House should turn its attention to the gentleman from Mas sachusetts, and investigate hiH transactions and deal with him. [Slight applause in the gallery.] Mr. Sehenck reminded Mr. Wood that he once came before the bar of the House and re ceived its censure. Mr. Wood—l remember it with pleasure, and am proud of it.. Mr. Dawes motion was then agreed to. Mr. Poland, of the Judiciary Committee, submitted a bill changing the form of tbe en acting clause of bills and resolutions intro duCeain C.ngress. Passed. A message was received from tbe President relntive to the fisheries in British waters, which, together with the action of the Govern-" mentof the New Dominion on the subject, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Speaker submitted a communication from the Secretary of State, in answer to the House resolution asking for information rela tive to the San Domingo negotiations, and in forming the House it would be incompatible with tbe public interests to transmit such in formation while the treaty was pending before the Senate. Mr. Cox said he had drawn up a resolution. Tho treaty involved large appropriations, and he felt sure if the House knew the facts this San Domingo business would stop. Mr. Schenek moved the House go into Committee on the Tariff hill, Mr. Banks hoped Mr. Scherick would press action, as the Committee on Foreign Affairs wished to call up the resolutions relating to the contest in Cuba. Mr. Schcncks’s motion was adopted. The pending question was on Mr. folium's motion to raise the duty on cordials, arrack, absynthe, &c., to three dollars per gallon. Messrs. Coburn and Axtell advocated the amendment because these articles are luxuries and destructive to life. Messrs. Hchenck and Maynard defended the present dntv of two dollars. ; t MARINIS BIILLETIR.
