Extract from His Opinion m the Case
of Hone vs. Trott.
"On the whole, then, I am of opinion thai
the provision of th act of Congress of Feb
ruary 25th, 1862, declaring the notes issued
in pursuance of that act to ba lawful money,
mid a legal tendrt, is iscoxstitition al.
"This readers it unnecessary that I fhould
consider the other question which has been
made, aa to. the effect of the special agreement
lo pay in lawful silver money of the United
States. I am in favor ( eiileriug judgment
for the plaintiff, but av a majority of tt court
re of a different opinion judgment for tlia
defendant." Cf pied from ihe Philadelphia Aye
cf'i'idof February, 1861, where the opinion is
published in full.
It may also be found in the Legal Inlelli
ftneer of March 13, 1SC1, page 92.
lu the same copy of the Age is a carefully
prepared eulogy of the judge and his opinion,
in which is the following :
''Judge Siiacswcod reasons upon and de
cides the case as if he were some lufiy spirit
sitting fnr above and out of the contentions
and strifes of the world"
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the judge as quite
too elevated and etheiial for such earthly
honors as a seat on the Supreme Bench?
E 'IDENTLY the President's favorite
ilea of peace is a grave-yard. "When
we look oo your battle-field," said Mr.
Johnson at Antietam, "and think of the
brave men on both sides who fell id the
fierce struggle of battle, and who sleep
silent in their graves yes, who sleep iu
silence and peace after the earnest couflict
has ceased would to God wc of the living
could imitate their example as they lay
sleeping in peace in their tombs and live
together in friendship and peace." We
commaud the fervor of the aspiration,
though it partakes of the impossible.
Doubtless the country ivould be set at rest
with a Congress of tombstones and an
army of dead- men. Rut we ask for a
bettor example than a cemetery a live
policy, if the President wills it, conceived
in the interest of living loyality, and not
of dead treason. And it ought not to be
such a dead-and-alive 6ort of policy as
would kill the one and resurrect the other,
A grave yard of this kind would be the
worst one in the world for peace. X. Y,
Tribune.
THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS.
Vermont leads off again this year as
last, heading the column of Union vic
tories. From the returns received, the
majority is about twenty thousand, and
this compares well wi:h the work of the
years subsequent to the war. The new
Governor is the Hon. John B. Page. He
relieves the present Governor, Paul Dil
lingham, who carried the State last year
by 22,822 majority. Tho new Senate, as
Las been the case since the yea? I860, is
unstained by a single Democrat, Tbfi
Assembly will contain but an inapprecia
ble proportion, not enough to raise a re
Hctable LU. The heel of loyalty has
crushed the head of the serpent iu Ver
mont. AH honor to "the star tfca ceicr
tels."
Tilt I'LIUIL OF TUB IIOl'K.
j We desire to say to the Republican
voters of Juniata county that never eincc
! the organization ot our party has the coun
try been in greater peril than it is at this
moment. Not even when the cjn'non of
lice thundered at Gettysburg, and the
hordes of Stewart swept through the val
ley of the Cumberland, were the vital,
living principles of National existence, of
National life, so sorely imperilled as they
are now. 1 he black-hearted traitor, who
sits in the chair of the lamented Lincoln,
wields his power for the sole purpose of
destroying the fruits that arc the legiti
mate result of the brilliant victory achiev
ed by National unity and human liberty,
over disunion and despotism. He defies
the will of the loyal people, and bends
his energies to give power to the Nation's
euetnies.
1J the people are not aroused he tcill
succeed. We speak not as alarmists, but
in the sober language of deliberate con
viction. The despot's heart has been
gladdened by the Republican defeat in
California, and the decreased majority in
Maine. He pauses iu his mad career for
a moment to listen to the voice ol Penn
sylvania and her Bistors, who speak in Oc
tober. The eyes of the nation and of the
civilized world are upon us! Let us send
forth no uncertain sound. Should Penn
sylvania echo the voice of California, it
would strike a deadlier blow at the nation's
heart than ever was threatened by the sa
bres of Stewart or the artillery of Leo.
Johnson would be emboldened to seize the
reius of Government and drive from the
National Capitol the people's representa
tives. The loyal people of the South
would not be allowed to exist in their
homes, but would be again driven forth
by the hands of the merciless rebels. The
liberties of the loyal people, everywhere,
would-be trampled beneath the feet of the
most soulless and despicable tyrant that
ever trod upon American soil.
Fellow Republicans of Juniata county !
ire need every rote, at the coming election.
A dangerous and fatal apathy has been
settling down upon the Republicans ol
this Stao and county. This) MUST be
shaken off. We cannot afford, and must
not peimit, our liberties to be endangered
and our fair fame to be tarnished by neg
ligence and inattention on our part. Our I
enemies are active, vigilant aud conGdent.
They expect our apathy to continue, and
in that case connt tlictr success certain.
This must not be. Let them see that the
same hearts that struck bravely for Union
and Truth amid the thunder of cannoo
and the die of arms, still beat as warmly
as ever for the cause of national unity and
human liberty. Organize at once. See
that every man is assessed in season. Re
sure that every Republican in your district
understands the necessity of attending the
election which will soon be upon us. Re
sure that every one attends and rotes.
A full vote of the Republican patty
will, without the. shadow of a doubt, carry
the Slate by a large majority. Apathy
and indifference, if allowed to prevail,
will surely defeat us. Let us send forth
to our brethren on the night of the 8th
of October, a message that will convince
them that the kei-ubmc still lives.
"1J1ROS OF A FEATHER," Ac.
Andrew Johnson telegraphed from
Washington to Pendleton and Vallandig
ham, the news of the Democratic "victory"
in California, They are both making
speeches for the Johnson party in Ohio,
and the President, overjojed at the re
sult in the Golden State, hastened to
share his exultation with these two cham
pions of the Rebel cause. Of course,
when they read his despatches to their
audiences there were cheers and shouts of
congratulation, the crowd taking the tele
gram to be the truth without knowing any
of the "whys and wherefores" of the Re
publican defeat. It was sufficient that
the Union ticket had suffered an overthrow
aud Johuson, Pendleton, Vallandighum,
Black, Rincklcy, Wood, &.C., ice., set up
their barks of delight, and made a heavier
drain than ever on "old Bourbon." To
remiud our readers again of the company
in which the President is found in this
matter, we subjoin an extract from one of
Vallandigbam's recent speeches to the
Johnson men of Ohio.
"I 'thank God, my fathers were from that
grand old Commonwealth of Virginia that
birtti-place of Washington, JeHeisun, and
Mvlison, of Robert E. Lee aud Stonewall
Jackson. Aye, those are noble Ltmci ami no
loyal wretch shall close uiy mouth from spcak
iLe praise of these men, who were a thousand
times more honorable and true to the princi
ples of human liberty than thousands who
call them traitors."
Aud this is the man to whom Mr. John
son sends his jubilatory despatch ! What
else cau loyal citizens think of the Presi
dent than that he is heart and soul with
the all spirit of treason which for four
years drenched the land in fraternal blood?
ttirTum out to the polls on the 8th of
October, and vote for Williams and the
entire Republican County Ticket.

HEAR IN M1NUI
That the result of the election in Penn
sylvania will have a telling effect, fur good
or evil, on national affairs.
Thai it will affect the price of gold if
Sbarswood is elected, which will seriously
interfere wiih the living of every work-
ingnian, farmer aud ltecliauic in the State,
by increasing the cost of dry goods, gro
ceries, grain and meat. Judge Sbars.
wood occupies the position that the nation
al securities ana issues of notes are illegal.
If he is elected, the result will be claim
ed as an approval of this position, '.he con
sequence of which will be to depreciate
the valuo of tho national currency, re
quiring three dollars to purchase what
now can be had for one dollar.
That a failure to maintain a Republi
can majority in the Legislature will result
in the relevying of the tax on real estate,
repealed by the Republicans of a former
Legis'aturc. As usual in all measures of
reform aud relief to the people, the Dem
ocratic party, through its leaders, opposed
the repeal of the tax on real estate, tlive
these men the power, and that tax will be
rclevied, by which the rents of mechanics
and laboring men will be doubly increased.
These arc plaiu fact easily comprehend
ed by the voters the mau who votes for
Sbarswood puts himself in danger of bank
ruptcy and straps a loadou his back iu
the shape of increased taxation.
Every day the prospects of Judge
Williams' election grow more brilliant,
and from all sections of the State we learn
that the republicans are coming up man
fully to the work, and promise in no hesi
tatiug terms to do their lull duty at the
ballot box. So far as the canvass has pro
gressed there has not been one single
word of truth uttered by the Democratic
journals which was calculated to impair
the chances of our candidate. In the ab
sence of any positive argument, some of
the opposition papers have resorted to
cowardly and malicious falsehoods against
Judge Williams, all of which, however,
have been promptly met and refuted aud
the masses set upon a proper train of
thought. The western section of the
State can be relied upon to do its share of
duty, and, from present appearances, will
give our candidate such a majority as can
not fail to secure Lis election. The cam
paign has opened in earnest, and tho loy
al people arc becoming aware of the great
importance which will be attached to a
Union victory in Pennsylvania, and will
do all in their power to accomplish that end
Caution to Veterans. Our ex
changes are cautiouing soldiers through
out the country against parties represent
ing themselves to be sent lrom Washing
ton, with instructions to soldiers and claim
ageuts for the collection of additiaus!
bounties, and also statiug that the soldiers
of 1801 aic entitled to one hundred and
sixty acres of land. The object of these
parties appears to be to obtain the dates,
numbers of regiments and officers' signa
tures as they appear upon discharge pa
pers ; with the dates forged applications
for pay would probably be itade out.
Several of these parties have been discov
ered in Ohio and Indiana.

GEN. SIIEIUDAX AT I1AURISUI KG.
ITARRtSBiRa, Sept. 20. Gen. Philip
Sheridan arrived here this morning and
breakfasted at the depot before going to
Washington. Although only half an
hour's notice was given of his coming, an
immense crowd gathered at tho depot.
Governor Geary reicived him aud intro
duced him as follows :
Fellow citizens : It affords me jrreat
pleasure to present to you ouu who, though i
i i .. . n i i

many of you, has acquired fame which
has reached every household iu the laud ;
a man whose services in behalf of his
country have given him a place iu the
hearts of all the loyal people of the na
tion. His brilliant achievements on the
Geld of strife have made lor him a repu
tation surpassed by none of the military
heroes of the world, aud his admirable ad
ministration of civil aflaiis since the ter
mination of hostilities has added new lus
tre to those achievements, and caused the
hearts of the people to vibrate with one
pulsation, as though it were that of a siu
gle ' man. He is the observed of all el
servers, tho admired of all admirers. I
take pleasure iu welcoming him with a
hearty welcome, to the capital of the great
Commouweulth of Pennsylvania, knowing
that in doicg io I shall have a cordial re
sponse from the loyal citizens of the Key
stone State. I have now the honor to in
troduce to you my friend and fellow sol
dier. Major General Phil Sheridan, more
familiarly known as "Cavalry Sheridan."
The Governor was frequently interrupt
ed by applause, and at the close enthusi
astic cheers were given for Sheridan.
General Sheridan briefly responded, re
turning his thanks to the Governor aud
citizeus for their kindness.
General J. W.-Forsyth, Colonel G. F.
Forsyth and Colonel L. W. C. Moore, of
his staff, accompany him.

It pays ono who lakes any interest iu
politics to read the Ohio papers just now.
The campaign is being waged fiercely, aud
both sides occasionally get off strong hits.
One of the last is as follows. The Cin
cinnati Adrertiser, in a stirring article,
smelling very strongly ol copper, said :
"Every prediction made by our party
about the war has been veiified." To
which the Scioto Gazette responds as fol
luws :
"You predicted that the South could
secede without a war but it couldu't.
"You said one Southerner could whip
five Yankees but he couldu't.
"You assorted that we had no power to
co-crce them but we had.
"You said wo never could conquer
them but we did.
You predicted that a bushel of our
greenbacks would not buy a dinner but
it will.
"You resolved that the war was a fail
ure but it was a success.
"You asserted that the people of Ohio
were opposed to the war, and that tbey
would elect the peaeuble Vallandigam
but they didu't.

carry this State but you won't'
