JUDGE
BHAR8WOOD ON LEGAL
TENDERS.
Extract from His Opinion in tbe Case of
Borie vs. Trott.
"On the whole, then, I am of opinion thnt
the provision of the act of Congress of Feb
ruary 25th, 1863, declaring the notes issued
in pursuance of that act to be lawful money,
ana a legal tender, ia unconstitutionat,.
"This renders it unnecessary thnt I should
consider the other question which has been
made, as to the effect of the special agree
ment to pay in lawful silver money of tbe
United States. I am in favor of entering
judgment for the plaintiff, but as a majority
of the court are of a different opinion, judg
ment for the defendant." Copied from the
Philadelphia Age of 23 of February, 1864,
where the opinion is published in full.
It may also be found in the Legal Intelli
gencer of March 18, 1864, page 93. ,
In the sauio copy of tlio Age is a carefully
prepared eulogy of the judge and this opin
ion, in which is the following :
"Judge SiiARBwooD reasons upon and de
cides the caso as if ho were some lofty spirit
sitting fur above and out of the contentions
and strifes of the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the judge ns
quite too elevated and ethereal for such
earthly honors as a Beat on . tho Supremo
Bench!
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
The Democratic Convention met on Mon
day last, at the Court House in this place.
The proceedings wero of a quiet and orderly
character, with lesa excitement or interest
than is usually manifested. Tbe result was,
however, in some respects, unexpected.
The candidates nominated are what ore
generally called clever men, but in point of
ability are not supposed to bo any improve
ment over their predecessors.
Gen. Kaso was nominated for Assembly,
by a larger majority than was anticipated.
The General's Republican antecedents did
him no harm in the eyes of his adopted
brethorn.
For Register and Recorder, Mr. Jacob
Lciscnring was nominated by a very large
majority over Mr. Cumwings, the present
incumbent. As Mr. C. was an excellent
officer, this vote shows that the democracy
look upon the oflices in the light of spoils,
which belong to and should be distributed
among the hungry expectants of the party.
Mr. Fiedler, who was nominated for Trea
surer, wo have but little acquaintance with.
If he shonldmake as obliging and attentive
an officer as Mr. Farnsworth, we shall not
complain. But the Treasurer Bhould reside
near his office.
Mr. Jacob Hunsicker, who was nominated
for Commissioner, over Hugh Martin, Esq.,
is a respectable and worthy man. Mr. Martin
has proved himself one of the most energet
ic and intelligent Commissioners we have
had for many years, and his place will not
be easily supplied by any one equally com
petent. Mr. Teats, the nominee for Jury Commis
sioner, will, no doubt, faithfully represent
the party, in this new office just established.
But as two persons, must be elected, and
only one can be voted for, Mr. Teals will
necessarily have a good Republican to keep
him on the right track.
Joseph Eisely was almost unanimously
nominated for County Auditor.
The following is the vote for the different
offices :

Wm. H. Kase, 1,100

COPPimilEAD I.OU1C., '
Onr enemies persistently clamor about the
magnitude of the national debt, as a proof
of Republican incapacity to govern, and
therefore argue that we ought to sustain
copperhead candidates for office. But will
they payeff the debt or repndiate is t If
thoy propose to pay it off, in what way can
they do so without increasing the already
enormous taxation t Yet these same cop
perheads keep up the same clamor about the
taxation as being a vast incubus. ' How can
they reduce both the debt and the taxes t
They already have tbe whole national ad
ministration in their hands, including tbe
President and Secretary of tho Treasury.
We can give them do more power to reduce
either debt or taxes. If they had a majority
in both houses oi Congress, they could not
reduce expenses without embarrassing their
own administration, unless they were to stop
all payment of bounties and pensions to
soldiers. Still they appeal to the soldiers as
being their especial friends, and represent
tbe Republicans as their enemies. Would
they pay seven and a half millions of dollars
for Alaska and live millions for Somana, or
would they repndiate these engagements,
which are not Republican, but made by
Be ward and Johnson I
They magnify the burden of the debt and
endeavor to render it odious to the peoplo,
at the same time that they pretend to accept
the lessons of the civil war and the splendid
results achieved by it. If the war and its
results are to be considered thus as beyond
question, why dispute the debt without
which it could not have been carried on t
If they do not desire to repudiate that debt,
why seek to render it odious I If they so
ardently wish to reduce the debt, why in
crease its load of interest by funding green
backs bearing no interest in securities that
pay six per cent, in gold ? If as a matter of
economy they are opposed to paying bounties
to tbe -soldiers, why go on paying out mil
lions for more territory t If they are so well
satibtied with the greenbacks, why reiterate
all the old stale cries about an excessive and
worthless currency t If they prefer a guar
anteed bank currency, why seek to under
mine the credit of the national banks f If
they are in favor of a reduction of taxation,
wuy oppose tlie aDoiition of the onerous
taxes ou domestic industry t They have
constantly represented that there existed so
great and pressing a need for revenue as to
leave no room for a lowering of taxes, and
yet they keep up a clamor at the same time
aga'.nst tuis very taxation as uniust.
They seek to make the Union soldiers re-
card them as their friends, while thev con
tinually depreciate their glorious deeds, and
award more credit to the rebel troops than
to our own. iney pretend to ablior tlio as
sassination of Abraham Lincoln while they
lament the execution of his assassins, and
strain every nerve to render odious all en
gaged in their conviction and execution.
They lay claim to patriotism and adhesion
to the Union sido in the civil war, while
they do not disguise that their sympathies
were with the rebels, and regard Jefferson
Davis and his associates as the greatest of
statesmen, and Lee, Beauregard, Johnson,
etc., as the greatest of generals. They per
petually cry nut for the Constitution, tr the
samo time that they associate with rebels
who sought to destroy it. They claim to be
Democrats, yet oppose democratic princi
ples. They assert their devotion to nation
ality, yet oppose everything nationil. Such
a bundle of contradictions was probably
never before seen in any political contest.
The party is a thing of contrarieties, impos
sibilities, contradictions. Its creed cannot
stand the test of any great national strug

AFFAIIM AT XI IK SOU 1 11.
Noitm-G'AHOLiNA. Judge Fowle, of the
county court of Williamston, N. C,
recently gave a decision allowing colored
jurors, stating that since the abolition of
slavery, in 1805, by North-Carolina, there
was nothing excluding negroes from acting
as jurors, and since tbe passago of the Civil
Rights bill, granting them all tho rights of
whites, they were fully entitled to act in
this cupacity.
South-Cahokina. -Tho rebel Gcu. Wade
Hampton has written a letter in which ho
takes strong ground against the military
bills. He says that ho would prefer martial
rule to reorganization under such terms.
Referriug to tbe cases of Tennessee and
Kentucky, he concludes that no State is as
sured of admission, which does not elect
radical representatives. In this view, ho
advises the South-Carolinians to register and
vote against a Convention. Unlortunately
for his creed, the black citizens of South
Carolina, who apparently constitute a ma
jority of those entitled to vote, are not like
ly to accept this advice.
Gov. Orr delivered a speech at Beton, S.
C., lust Friday, in which he advised the peo
plo to register and vote for a convention,
being satisfied that the attitude of the ne
groes in the convention, and Legislature
will produce a wonderful reaction in favor
of the south throughout the north.
Gkoroia. Tho registration in Georgia
has been completed, and, contrary to expec
tations, the blacks are some 2000 in the ma
jority. It was expected the whites would
have a majority oi 30,000. With the assis
tance of tho loyal whites the majority against
the lute or present rebels will be overwhelm
ing. Tho AWany Kevs, of Georgia, has been
suspended by General Popo for disloyalty.
Alabama. Registration in this State is
completed, but full returns aro all lacking
from several counties. Tho returns thus far
received givewhites, 57,686 : blacks, 84,-534-total,
152,210.
A jury wus impanneled in Montgomery
City ou the 20th ult., under tho recent order
of Gen. Pope, composed of half blacks and
half whites.
Virginia. Registration returns from all
except eight counties have been received
at head-quarters. The result is as
follows : Whites, 110,000; blacks, 00,000.
Of the counties not heard from, four will
give large white majorities. There are how
ever no doubt that the loyal white voters
will run from 25,000 to 80,000.
Louisiana. Aristide Mary, a mulatto
man of education and influence, has been
appointed by Gen. Sheridan a member of
the New-Orleans Board of Assistant Alder
men, to fill a vacancy occasioned by resig
nation. General Sheridan has issued two orders
one removing tho City Comptroller for dis
alty, and the other directing the Levee In
spectors appointed undor the board created
by him, to enter upon the discharge of their
duties, ne has also confirmed the displace
ment of three judges in Texas, by Gen. Grit
fin, for disloyalty.

' Wasthkotoh, Sept. 1, 1807.
The publication yesterday afternoon of
General Grant's brief order directing tbe
commanders of the military districts to make
no appointments to civil office or persona
who have been removed by themselves or
their predecessors in command, created a
nrnfonnd 'sensation here, and has been the
chief topic of conversation last night and
to-ciay. it was preparea ou imiuji
telegraphed to the district commanders on
the same day, but was not made public until
yesterday. It Indicates that General Grant
is determined to allow no encroachment by
tho President upon his right to supervise the
appointments by the district cbmmanders,
which the effort madn to secure the rein
statement of Governor Wells, immediately
after the publication of the order relieving
Sheridan, snows was contemplated vj tue
Rebel element here and in Louisiana.
This order effectually settles that and all
other similar cases. It receives the warmest
approval of Grant's friends, who contend be
was fully justified in issuing tho orders In
advance of any such appointment, and that
it is in conformity with the letter and spirit
of tho law.
The friends of the President say that Grant
has no right to imposo conditions precedent
upon the district commanders, but that his
authority should only be exercised by au
proving or disapproving such appointments
after they are made. This is conceded to
be the President's opinion on the subject ;
but whether he will attempt to overrule the
orucr remains to be seen.

The statements prepared by Acting At

Application was mado yesterday at Gene

could not be given at present. This was in

charges me, indirectly, of having returned

As the Treasurer of that fund, as will as a

THE
UNION
HAILROAD COMPANY.
THE I it
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT.
THE rapid progress ofthe Union Pacific Railroad,
now building west from Ouialin, Nebraska, and form
ing, with its western connections, an unbroken lino
across the) continent, attracts attoulion to the vaiuo
of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer to the publio. The first question asked by pru
dent Investors is, '-Aro tlicrfo bonds secure?" Noxt,
"Are they a profitable investment To reply in
brief:
1st. The early completion of the wholo great line,
to tbe Pacific is as certain us any futuro business
event ean be. The Government grant of ovor. twen
ty million acres of land and fifty million dollars in
its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth
of the work is already done, and the track continues
to be laid at the rate of two miles a day.
2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds nro issued
upon what promises to be ono of the most profitable
lines of railroad in the country. For many years it
must be Ihe only line connecting tha Atlantic and
Pacific ; and being without competition, it can
maintain remunerative rates.
;td. 425 miles of this road nre finished, and fully
equipped with dopots, loooiuotivus, cars, Ac., and
two trains ara daily running each way. The mnto
rials for the remaining 02 miles to the eastern huso
of the Rooky Mountains ore on hand, aud it ia uuilcr
oontruot to be done in September.
4 ill. The net earnings of tho sections already fin
ished are several times greater than the gold interest
upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections,
aud if not another milo of the road a ero built, tho
part alroady eoinploted would not only pay interest
and expenses, but bo profltnblo to the Company.
5th. The Union Pacifio Railroad bonds can bo it
sued only as tho ruud progresses, and thereforo can
never be in the markot unless they represent a boa t
Jiie property.
6th. Their amount is strictly limited bylaw to a
sum equul to what is granted By the U.S. Govern
ment, and for which it takes a second lien as its se
curity. This amount upon the first 517 miles wost
from Omaha is only (16,000 per mile.
7th. Tbe fact that the U. S. Government eonj-ideri
a second lien upon the road a good investment,
and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of
the country have already paid in fivo million dollar
upon the stock (which is to them a third lieu), may
well inspire confidence in a first lien.
8th. Although it is not claimed that there can ba
any better securities than Governments, there aro
parties who consider a first mortgage upon such
property as this the very best security in Ihe world,
and who sell their Governments to re-invest in tbeso
bonds thus securing a groator interest.
Oth. As the Union Pacifio Railroad bonds are of .
fored tor the present at W0 oenU on the dollar aud ac
crued interest, tbey ara the cheapest security in tho
market, being more than 15 per cent, leas than V. S.
Stocks.
10th. At the current rato of premium oa gold, they
pay
