"On tbe whole, then, I am of opinion tliat the provision of the act of Congress of Feb ruary 25th, 1802, declariug the notes leaned in pursuance of tliat act to be lawful money, and a legal tender, is unconstitutional. "This renders it unnecessary that I should consider the other question which hue been made, as to the effect of tliu special agree ment to pay in lawful silver money of the United States. I am in favor of entering judgment tor the plaintiff, but as s majority of the court are of a different opinion, judg ment for the defendant." Corned from the Philadelphia Age oj Hid of February, 1804, where the opiuion is published in full. It may also be found in the Isgal Intelli gencer of March 18, 1864, page 03. . In the same copy of the Age is a carefully prepared eulogy of the judge and this opin ion, in which is the following : "Judge Sharswood reasons upon and de cides the case as if he were some lofty spirit sitting far above and out of tbe contentions and strifes of the world." Will not the holders of greenbacks and Government bonds consider tbe judge as quite too elevated and ethereal for such earthly honors as a seat on tho hupreme Bench I J3f Ghaut vb. Johnson. We refer our readers to the correspondence between Gen. Grant and President Johnson, in regard to the removal of Gen. Sheridan from his com mand, at New Orleans. If anything in this world can make tbe President more con temptible in the eyes of all honorable men than heretofore, this correspondence will ac complish it. The President's reply is so liimo and impotent that even his own partisan organs cannot defend him. His stereotyped plea and affected regard for the Constitu tion, which his rebel iriends repudiated, and are now endeavoring to overthrow, is ton bIirIIdw even to attract attention. No Executive, if even a military man, who pos sessed common honesty and ordinary lctelli gence, would attempt to overrule the officer at the head of the army, especially one so distinguished as Gen. Grant, and who pos esses the entire confidence of the people. The people of the South are beginning to see that the President's reckless course has retarded reconstruction, and is bringing ruin upon themselves, and many of their leading journal are now proclaiming this fact to the people. 5f"Tho New York Tribune thinks open war between the President and Gen. Grant is imminent, and for Grant's sake, is gUd of it. The Tribune truly adds that John son has no followers now except those who are hungry for soup. The Tribune says also that the New York Herald, which has invested heavily, of late, in Johnson, under tho impression he was backed by Grant, is dumb founded by his letter, and now plainly sees that it has, for once, Lacked the Blower horse. The Pennsylvania Stale Fair is to be held in Pittsburg, commencing on the 28th of September aud continuing four days.

The competition is not confined to this State. Citizens of any other of tbe United States are invited to exhibit their wares and compete for premiums. On the morning of tbe 3d inst., a woman died at Kansas City, Mo., and wus buried on tbe same day. She lett two children, entirely destitute, one of them three years old, and tue others scarcely auie to crawl. Four days after the children were found, the infaut apparently very sick, and the lit tle three-year old carefully ministering to make it comfortable, yet witnout loou, auu only a little mug with which she had been carrying water from the river fur herself and her sick infant sister. The Indianola (Texas) Bulletin gives the following melancholy account ot mutters in thut vicioitT : "A little over a mouth has passed, and our city bus been the scene of sickness and distress. ' Shunned by our neighbors, cut off from all intercom so with the interior, we have truly gone through a ae vera time. Diseuse, pestilent and relent less, has visited almost every dwelling in our town, and death, with a remorseless hand, has struck down many of our dearest citizens, regardless of sex, age or condition. J lie londest ties ot anection have been sun dered, and those that are still left to Strug tie with life's vicinsitudes and trials, will Inug mourn the absence of loved and faiui liar forms." Gen. Pope has lost all patience with tbe renei itnpe'iiments encountered in recon structing bis district. He believes that while it was wise in Congress to disfranchise tho le ading rebels, still it would be wiser to have tmnisliud them from the country. Depriv ing men of their votes does uot materially limit their power to work mischief. Their flisfancliiscment spurs them to revenge and they will use their influence to thwart the plans of the Government officers and throw obstacles in the way of reconstruction.

It will em bolden them to renewed opposition to tbe will ot the loyal masses, believing that they havo the Executive with them." PRESIDENT JOHNSON TO GENERAL GRANT. Executive Mansion, ) Washington, D. C, Aug. 19, 1807. ( General : I have received your com munication of the 17th inst., and thank you for the promptness with which you have submitted your views respectinff tue assign ments directed in my order of that date. When I stated, in my unofficial note of the 17th, that I would be pleased to hear any suggestions you might deem necessary upon the subject, it was not my intention to ask from you a formal report, but rather to in vile a verbal statement of any reasons affect ing the public interests which, in youropin ion, would render the order inexpedient. Inasmuch, however, as you havo embodied your suggestions in a written communica tion, it is proper that I should make some reply. Yon earnestly urge that the order be not insisted on, remarking that "it is unmistak ably the expressed wish of the country that Gen. Sheridan sl.ould not be removed from his present command." While I am cognizant of the efforts that have been made to retain Gen. Sheridan in commnud of the Filth Military District, I am not awnro that the question has ever been submitted to the people themselves for determination. It certainly would be unjust to the army to assume that, iu the opinion of the nation, he alone is capable of commanding the States of Loaisiuna and Texas, and that, were he for any cause removed, no other general in tbe military service of the United States would be competent to fill his place. Gen Thomas, whom I have designated as hi successor, is well known to tbo country Having won high and honorable distinction iu tho held, ho has since, in the execution of tbe responsible duties of a department com mander, exhibited great ability, sound (lis cretiou, und sterling patriotism. Ho has not failed, under the most trying circum ntances, to enforce the laws to preserve peace and order, to eucurage the restoration ol civil authority, and to promote, as fur as possible, a spirit ot reconciliation. His ad ministration of the Department of tho Cum bcrlaml will certainly compare most favor ably with that of Gen. Sheridun in the Fifth Military District. These affairs appear, j to be in a disturbed condition, aud a bitter spirit of antagonism seems to have resulted from Gen. Sheridan's management. He has rendered himself exceedingly obnoxious by the manner in which be has exercised even the powers conferred by Congress, aud at ill more so by a resort to authority not granted by law nor necessary to its faithful and effi cient execution. His rule has, in fact, been one of absolute tyranny, without reference to the principles of our Government or the nature of our free institutions. The state of affairs which has resulted from the course ho has pursued, has seriously interfered with a harmonious, satisfactory, and speedy execu tion of the acts of Congress, and is alone sufficient to justify a change. His removal, therefore, cannot "be regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of Congress;" for the ob ject is to facilitate their execution, through an officer who has never failed to obey the statutes of the land, and to exact, within his jurisdiction, a like obedience form others. It cannot "be interpreted by the unrecon structed element in the South those who did all they could to break up this Govern ment by arms, aud now wish to be the ouly element consulted as to the method of re storing order as a triumph;" for, as intel ligent men, they must kntrw that the intro change of military commanders cannot alter the law, aud that Gen. Thomas will be as much bound by its requirements as Gen. Sheridan. It cannot "embolden them to re newed opposition to tho will of tho loyal masses, believeing that they have the Exe cutive with them for they are perfectly familiar with the antecedents of the Presi dent, and know that he has not obstructed the faithful execution of any act of Congress. No one, as you are aware, Las a higher appreciation than myself of the services of Geu. Thomas, and no one would be less in clined to assign him to a command not entirely to bis wishes. Knowing him as I do, I cannot thiuk that he will hesitate for a moment to obey any order having in view a. complete and speedy restoration of the Union, in the preservation of which he has rendered such important and valuablo ser vices. Gen. Hancock, known to tbe whole country as a gallant, able, and patriotic soldier, will, I have no doubt, sustain his high reputation in any position to which he may be assigned. If, as you observe, the department which he will have is a complicated one, I feel con fldent that, uudur the guidance and instruc. tions of Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan will soon become familiar - with its necessities, and will avail himself of the opportunity afforded by the Indian troubles for the dis play of the energy, enterprise, and daring which gave bim so enviable a reputatiou duriug our recent civil struggle. Jo assuming that it is the t pressed wish of the people that General Sheridan should hat be removed front his present command, yon remark : 'This is a republic where the will ef tbe people is the law of the land,' and 'Beg that, their voices may he heard,' This is indeed a , republic, baaed, however, upon it written Constitution. " That Constitution is the combined and expressed will of the peo ple, and their voice is law when reflected in the manner wnicn mat instrument presun bet. i While one of its provisions makes the President Commander-in-Chief bf the army and navy, another requires that bo shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Believing that a change in the command of the 6th military district is absolutely neces sary for a faithful execution of the laws, I have issued the order which is necessary for a faithful execution of the subject of this correspondence, and in thus exercising a power that inheres in the executive under tho Constitution as comniandtT-in chief of tho njiitary navy forces, I am discharging a duty required of me by the will of the na tion, as formally declared in the supreme law of the land. Any other course would lead to destruction of the republic, for the Constitution once abolished, there would be no Congress for the exercise of legislative powers, no cxecutivo to see that the laws are faithfully executed, no Judiciary to afford to the citizen protection for life, Hnil and property. Usurpation would inevitably follow, and a despotism be fixed upon the people in violation of their combined and expressed will. "In conclusion, I fail to perceive any mil itary, pecuniary or patriotic reasons w hy thi order should not bo carried into effect. Yon will remember that in tho first instance I did not consider Gen. Sheridan the most Rtiitablo officer for the command of the Fifth Military District. Time has strength ened my convictions upon this point, and has led me to tho conclusion that patriotic considerations demand that he should be superseded by an officer who, while he w ill faithfully execute the law, will at the same time give more general sntislaction to the whole people, white and black, North und South. "I am, General, very respectfully, yours, "Andrew Johnson. "To General U. S. Grant, Secretary of War ad inkrim." (ien. (jirnnt Put DoMn IiIh l'oot. Wa8HINoton. Aug. 27. It is believed by prominent gentlemen here that tho differ ences between tho President and General Grant in relation to the removal of Generals Sheridan and Sickles are irreconcilable. The orders issued by the President yesterday, directing General Hancock to relieve Gene ral Sheridan, and' General Can by to relievo General Sickles, have not yet beeu executed. It is said thut General Grant, in a letter to the President, declines to direct the order to bo executed, aud states Ins relusal in strong terms, virtually denying the right of the President to mterfere in any ono ot the five military districts created by Congress, asserting that the entire control ot the de partments rests, by the supplemental Kecon- struction act, on the General of the Armies of the United States, and thut therefore he is cot at liberty, aud will not transfer it to another. The letter has not been made public, but the above statement is believed to be relia ble, as it is derived from usually well inform ed sources. The Indian War, St. Loiis, Aug. 27. Cant.

After the battle was over, the savages sent in a flag of truce with tho following message : "Tell your officers we do not want peace. We are for war. We shall keep on lighting." They then charged our troops again. Three hundred men, embracing tho Kan sas volunteers and regulars, left Fort Hays yesterday in pursuit of the Indians. Gen. Hancock was at Fort ilaiker. Immense swarms of locusts were in the vicinity of the city of Ellsworth, Kansas, yesterday, moving in tho southeasterly di rection.

The following incidents are from tbe American Union, published at (Jiilho, Ga. The first extract is beaded ecidenceof loyalty, and is well worthy of earful perusal by those who believe in the loyalty of traitors : EVIDENCE OP LOYALTY. A squad of the Democracy of Forsyth a few days ago, entrapped a teacher of the colored school, ut that place, into their clutches, and brutally shot him in several places ; and so severe are the wounds that his li to is despaired of. These fellows are of the cIses that claim that they are tbe beat friends of the colored people. They say they were raised together, that they "played marbles together," "went in a swimming" together, and other tbiugs together ; aud consequently ought to vote together. They have the interests of the blacks so very much at heart that they are willing to ribk the consequences of killiug an einUtary, that they way be saved from that "dangerous tbiug," "a little learning." They burn col ored school bouses out of pure kiuduess and friendship. Tbe second extract is beaded rtld defini tion of freedom as rendered in practice. Mr. Senator "Wallace, Chairman of the Copper head State Ceutral Committee, should adopt this extract as a text for his forthcoming sententious address s ' , ItKBKL DEFINITION OF FUEEDOM. Tho only idea of freedom that a rebel can comprehend, is to set at defiance all laws, atd tyrannize over those thoy pronounce their inferiors. They are now prating about the Constitution, and insisting that it guar antees liberty to all, and security agains arbitrary arrests by the military ; yet, they themselves, without any warrant of even their own rebel law, seize a negro and drive hlni, like an ox, to some place Of confine ment. A case of this kind occurred here a few days ago.

THE rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and farm ing, with its western connections, un unbroken lino across th continent, attracts attention to the vnluu ( of the First Mortgage (lords which the Company now oner to itiessnnuo. me nrst question asae.i i.y pru dent investors is, "Are these bonds secure ?" Next, ' Are they a profitable investment ?" To reply in brief: 1st. The early completion of the nholo creat line ! to the Pacific is us eertain us any future busine i event can bo. The Government grant of over twen j ty million acres of land and filly million dollnis iu i its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth j of tho work is already done, and the track continues I to be lnid at tho rate of two miles a dfiv. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Issued upon what promises to be one of the most pinfitiiblii line of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting tho Atlantic and Pacific ; and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. 425 miles of this rood are finl-hed, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, ours, Ac, and two trains are daily runniug each way. The mate rials lor the remaining D2 miles to the eastern bsso of the Rocky Mountains are un hand, and it is under contract to be done in September. 4th. Tho net enrniugs of the sections already fin ished are several. times greater than the gold interest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, aud if uot another milo of the road wero built, tho purl already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. 5th Tbo Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be is sued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bona fide property. tith. Their amount is strictly limited bylaw to a sum equal to what is granted oy tbe U. S. Govern ment, and for which it takes a second lien as iu se curity. This amount upon tho first 517 miles west from Omaha is only (16.111)0 per mile. 7th. The fact tbat the U. S. Government considers a second lien upon the rood a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien), may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is notolaimed thut there can bo any bettor securities than Governments, thero nro parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security in tho world, aud who sell their Governments to re-invest in these bonds thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Paoifio Railroad bonds aro of fered tor the present at 90 cents on the dollar and ac orued interest, they are the cheapest security in tho market, being more than 15 per cent, less than U. S. Stocks. 10th. At the current rate of promium on gold, they pay Over lne IVr Cent.
