I Important Decision.. The Stay Law Unconstitutional. A very important 'decision has just been rendered by the Supreme Court, at Phila delphia, declaring the stay law of May 21, 1861, to be in violation of the provisions of tie Federal and State oonsiltatione. ; Imme diately after the passage of the • act, steps were taken to test its constitutionality—the opposition to it being based on the ground that the act Impaired the obligation or a con tract. In the District Conn - , where the eases originated, [below was pronounced tuiconsti traptionnmale. and w rits "%onf ;drroonrdwayerottiekeLtoretmhee Court decided the cases, Justice WrioNward_ delivering the opinion. The Court say: "The peculiarity of the Stay Law of May 21, 1861, which distinguishes it from all our other leg islation of similar purpose, is that it makes the right of a judgment creditor to have.exe en tron against his debtor dependent on the eagree ose ment of a majority of the creditors wh demands exceed two-thirds of the debtor's entire indebtedness, and imposes no limit to the stay which the majority of the creditors may agree hi. When the defendant In any action that was pending at the date of the law, or Which shall be instituted within twelve months thereafter for the recovery of the debt, shall have filed an affidavit ratting forth that the majority of his creditors, whose deMande exceed two-thirds of his en tire indebtednees,have , greed in toriting to ex tend the time of payment of the debts due them respectively, the Ceurt shall direct the Prothonotary to report the terms of the *aid extension upon evidence submitted to him by the defendant, and thereupon the Court shall enter an order in the cause that no execution shall Issue, except at the periods when and in the proportions which it shall appear by the report of the Prothonotary that the nut, ,I ority of the creditors of the defendant, whose demands exceed two-thirds of his entire in debtedness, have agreed as aforesaid to extend the time epayment of the debts due them re sprtively. `No discretion whatever is to be exercised by the Court. The Prothonotary is to inves tigate andveport the terms of the agreement, and_ then the Court 4 ehall. ewer an order' for carrying it into effect. The agreement may extend the time for payment of the defendant's debts indefinitely, and mayprescribe any pro portion, that may suit the fancy or interest of a majority of creditors representing more than two-thirds of the whole indebtedness. A judgment of a Court of law is thus taken en tirely out of judicial hands and is committed,. for purposes oC execution, to parties who area not upon the record, nor in court, who have no judicial power, and can have none under our Constitution ; iwho may be non-resident citizens, women or children, and whose dis cretion is regulated by no legislative rule or -restraint. Allireditor who holds a promissory note for-$5OO, payable on a day fairly agreed to by the debtor, brings snit and recover, a judgment in due course of law. It would seem reasonable that the Court who rendered the judgment,and upon whose records it remains, should have power to award execution under such limitations and 'restrictions as the gen eral law may have prescribed. But according to the act of '6l the debtor has only to get two other creditors, whose - claims together exceed $l,OOO, to agree for an extension for !one, five or twenty years, and that agreement, when proved to the Prothonotary, shall have I the effect of suspending the powers of the Court to execute its own judgment. "In all its features this is a very extraor dinary enactment, but in the unlimited dare r tion of the stay it provides for, it is without a dare d in our legislation. *- • • • • I I This is the first instance in which the direr!. tionary power has been commited — to an ' known and ! irresponsible parties, without stint, limitation or qualification; the first in stance and it may be hoped, it is the last, in which judicial records are subjected, not to a carefully considered rule prescribed by the Legislature, but to such a rule as-the any bodies may prescribe, who chance to be a ma jority of the creditors of the defendant on the record. "We hold such a law to be unconstitutional. Though addressed to the remedy, it touches the contract in a most vital point, and im pairs its obligation as directly as if it annulled it. * • • It may be said that the latter .act (1861) does not in terms make the stay perpetual nor exclude the .possibility of the creditors prescribing a reasonable stay. Grantsid.• But then it does give the creditors power to make the stay perpetual or unrea sonable. There is nothing to restrain or regulate their action. The. vice of the act is that it takes away from the judgment creditor his remedies; not for a long time deemed reasonable by the and the courts, but as long as the majority of creditors repre senting more than two-thirds of the indebted ness choose to withhold those remedies. And what if the debtor has address and means 'to bargain with such majority for a perpetual stay, are the minority to submit 1' The decree once recorded binds the judgment creditor,- even though the debtor may pay off the cred itors who toads the agreement and dictated the decree. Be may purchase total exemp tion from liability for one-third of his debts, by bargaining skillfully with those to whom the two-thirds are due. - Constitutional pro vision& arc mainly intended for protection of minorities. It is they who are most likely to be sacrificed in times of excitement or of trial, and hence the Constitution never has a more, legitiMate effect than when it nullifies hasty and inconsiderate legislation that disregards the rights of minorities." The Court finally say, "It is, therefore, a plain violation of those provisions of the Fed eral and State Constitutions, which protect the inviolability of contracts. The decree of the Pour% in refusing the motion in each of the Above slated C4lOll, is affirmed. __. • CommtyAtifairs. The supplement passed by the late Legis lature, to the dot of May lot, 1861, "relating to Allegheiry•county," (commonly known' as the "County Controller Act,") contains some impoitant provisions, which will result in a largo savinf to the county. The supplement provides as follows: • No bond or certificate of loan, or other evi dence of indebtedness, shall hereafter be is sued, or have any validity, utiles, the same Audi have been - countersigned and registeied by the Controller. bridges No • proposals for- building -or repairing be advertised for Com b the Con troller until one of - the County y mission ers than haie certified to him in writing that, On a personal inspection of the locality, he be lieves the work necessary, and also the pro bable cost of the same. .That . the compensation to a physlidan or aargeon for- holding a post torment examine tion shall not exceed ten dollars, nor shall the services of more than one physician or ear- Von be paid for :by the county in any case, unlas on a certificate of oniicif the law judges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer • that cock additional services were necessaryffor the end, eflpnblie justice. - , The Crier sad - tipstaves actually employed . . in any court are hereafter not to be paid more than one dollar per day.

To the Editors of the Pittsburgh Gazette The term "consumption" was originally ap plied to many diseases situated in different organs, and having no symptoms in common except the wasting br emaciation of the body. They Were called consumptiens because the body consumed away. This ace of the term led to great confusion among writers, and it was soon found necessary' to designate the kind ofeensumption meant, by prefixing the name of the affected organ. I Imennee, the great discoverer of the stethe scope, in the course of his extensive researches into the pathology of the lunge, found that granular bodies always exist in the lungs in genuine consumption. These bodies are called tubercles ; and, since the time of Lean ne°, the term consumption has been restrict.. ed and understood to apply to a disease of the lunge characterized by their presence. When, therefore, I speak of consumption, I mean not only a disease of the lungs, but tubercular dis ease. lam particular that this should be un deretood,for the changes which these tubercles undergo produce the destruotionof symptoms lun and all that melancholy train of which mark titer progress of consumption ; while their seat—the air tubes and eels of the lungs—indicates the treatment necessary for their removal. The turbarcles regulate the stage of the dis ease by the changes which they undergo. We say consumption is in the first doge when the tubercles are small spooks or points of gray ish color, half transparent. In this condi tion they resalable millet seed, and hence are called miliary tubercles. This tubercular matter is secreted from the blood. It is not on ly poured out - into the air cells,and on the free surface of the mucous linings of the air tubes, but deposited in the delicate structures which go to make up the lungs. Whatever interferes with the decarbonisation of the blood will pro duce tubercles. They are always - the produce of a defective performance of the functions of the lungs. Catarrh produces them by indu cing and feeding irritation in the larynx and the windpipe. Irritation in the Mayne and windpipe is always followed by bronchitis. Bronchai• is always attended by the secretion of a viscid mucous or phlegm, which blocks up the air ! tubes and prevents the admission of air. ,The moment the air is shut off from a cluster or the 'air cells,those cells become the centre of imperfect decarboniza tion, and, sooner or later, will become tuber culous. Here then, you see a chain of irri tation beginning in osimpleeatarrh, and end ing in consumption. It is not the irritation that produces tubercles—for irritation in any other organ than the lungs would not be fol lowed by their development—but it is the ob struction" which the viscid mucous causes in the air tubes. The hawking up of this sticky kind of nancous may be the only symptom of consumption in the first stage. From this you will ' understand what a fatal mistake those mao who wait for more serious symp toms to • ism. In the second stage of consumption the tu bercles become much increased in size. In the it. first they-weir, of the size of millet seed; they have now become of sizes varying from a small pea to a filbert. They have also under gone a change in color—from pearl gray to yellow. When taken from the longs of per sons who have died, and pressed between the fingers, they break down just like lumps of old cheese. These cheesy tubercles, front their size, increase the obstruction of the lungs, causing shortness of breath, and gener ally a considerable addition to the cough and expectoration. The last stage of consumption is caused by these cheesy tubercles becoming softened down into pus, and by their producing ulcera tion of the substance of the lungs. When the process of ulceration commences, we have all the worst symptoms Maugerated—hectic fever, sight sweats, severe cough, expecterations of yellow matter, spitting of blood, loss of flesh and strength, and pleuritic pains. These by slow degrees wear oat the power of life and the patient sinks. Here, then, you have-an outline of the dis ease to which we apply the term consumption. My next letter will be on chronic consump tion. Your obedient servant, Phpeicisa 11UNTER, M.

[Special Dispatch to the Gazette.] PUTLADIMPITIA, April 23.—The Philadelphia Enquirer correspondent says, that In circles likely to know, a comfortable feeling prevails in regard to the recent visit of the French Minister to Richmond. Mr. Seward is re ported to have said that he did not care if the foreign ministerrwould all visit the rebels, as the more they saw of them, the less they would like them. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Sub-Treasurer to receive no more depos- Re at rates of interest exceeding four per cent. .The Secretary is now paying all the November indebtedness in cash. The special Committee on the National Ar mory is making but slow progress. If an' Ar mory is authorized this session; it will be lo cated in the mineral regions of Pennsylvania' where iron ore abounds. The Philadelphia Presr correspondent says that Congress will pass a law indemnifying allpublicefficors who have arrested secssion sympathizers since the opening of the e rebel- lion. The rebel papers acknowledge that the sac , cess of their canoe depends on the result of the battle at Yorktown, which they regard close at hand. The Navy Department has under consider ation to apply to the French Government for the privilege of purchasing one or more of the mail-clad vessels of the French Navy. It is supposed that the desire of the Emperor to close the war, and the anxiety of the Admi ralty to test the capacity of iron vessels, may induce them to comply with the reqnest, should it - be made. Gen. 'genitor has been superseded in his command. Gon. Resecrans 'takes his place. Dana, late of tho New York Tribune, has been appointed by Secretary Stanton to inves tigate the Cairo war accounts- Congressmen from lOWA 'and other North- Western States are urged by their constitu ents to demand an enquiry into the caneee which led -to the neediese slaughter at the battle of Shiloh. Most of the friends of Mr. Bingham's con- Iteration bill feel sanguine that the House will pass it, under the previous question, to-day. The vote will be close. The Finance Committee of the Senate has got through with the machinery sections of the tax bill, having made such amendments as in its judgment were calculated to perfect the ayetem adopted by the House. An effort was made to raise the tax on whisky, and other distilled spirits, to twenty five cents a gallon, but the Committee retained it at fifteen cents. • • . The Cuminittee also decided to impose some charge o 6 stock on hand on the 30th of June, when the act is to go into operation, but left it to i sub - committee to decide how much it should be. The tax on beer, and other fermented li quors, is doubled. Two dollars a barrel is to be levied instead of one dollar. Professor Bache and Mr. Westervelt have declined to serve on the board appointed to examine the Stevens' battery, The other members are directed to proceed without them. From Fortress Mdnroe. FORTRESS Igo:toot, April 23.—A mall row boat arrived here, thin morning from Norfolk, containing three men, one woman and two children. The refugees report the Merrimac still nt Gosport navy-yard. Workmen were engaged in placing iron shields over the port holes. It was supposed that the improvements would be completed, and the Merrimac would be out again in two or three days. The Merrimac was aground the last day that else came out, as was generally supposed here. Nothing was said In Norfolk about bursting a gun, and that supposition was un doubtedly incorrect. Capt. Buchanan is thought to be still alive, hiving been wounded by a rifle shot only in the thigh. It was only a flesh wound. The steamer Jamestown, and the steam tug Beaufort, wont up the James River on Fri day, and the Yorktown, on Sunday, to obtain coal at Richmond. They took in tow a num ber of schooners loaded with iron which was to be called into plates at the Trafalgar works in Richmond. Four new gunboats have been launched at the Navy Yard, and four more are in course of construction at Norfolk. A part of them will be covered with the won plates above mentioned. The previously reported engagement be; tarsals the troops of Gen. Burnside and a Georgia regiment, took place on Saturday. The Union troops are said to have numbered 500. The Confederate troops consisted of the 3d Georgia regiment, Col. Wright. The en.: gagement took place, not at Elisabeth city, bui, on the canal above that place,, Tito Con federate loss was 15 killed and 35 wounded. They were only partly equipped and .many lacked muskets and ammunition. They are said to have run on being attacked. The Union troops held their ground until they had buried their dead and carried away their wounded, when they retired. Eleven graves of Union soldiers were subsequently counted on the battle field. One of toe refugees visited Richmond last week. No states that there are very few troops either there or at Norfolk, they mostly having been sent to Yorktown. Fourteen thousand troops are said to have passed through Richmond on one day tut week, bound for Yorktown. The whole party of refugees came from Sa vannah. Ono of the men, who brings his wife and children, belongs in New York, and is a carpenter by trade. • The third is.ono of the crew of the Fingal, which run the brook ado sometime since at Savannah. The crew of the Fingal wore.sent hero from Norkfelk by a flag _ of truce and Immediately returned. .The rest of the crew are still at Norfolk. Up to last Saturday they wore Supported by the British Consul, but a recent dispatch from Lord Lyons has thrown them von their own resources, and it Is supposed that they will be foreed'to enlist in the Confederate army. One of the men-who left Savannah on the let of Match reports great consternation there. The steamer Fingal, and other vessels in the harbor, were ready to be sunk or burned. - The troops in the vicinity of Savannah have been dying in great numbers, on account of the dirty condition in which they keep themselves. The city might have been easily taken by our u•oopa.at the time of theietirst landing at Port Royal. An attack was then confidently ex pected, and the whole city was in a state of intense excitement and alarm. The refugees , arrived at Old -Point about half put two o'clock this morning, after pass ing very close to the rebel pickets and bat tortes, and were hailed "for the first time by the steamer Baltimore, lying in the Road,. The English steamerNinaldo left her an chorage in the upper part of the Rude, this 'forenoon, and is,now anchored below the Min anent. kTb• kTe French steamerViiisendi NOrfo h lk with M.

As the Committee on the Judiciary could not agree, he proposed that a Select Committeerof seven be appointed —being untrammeled by the House, they might be able to agree upon a proper measure of legislation. Mr. Duncan, of Ind., was glad to hear Mr. Olin's suggestion. The subject of confiscat ing rebel property wart one of the most diffi cult questions . before Congress, and on its discussion was involved the restoration of the Government to its former state of prosperity. lie congratulates the House and the country that a bill had been laid upon the table this morning, which, if it bad been passed, would have disgraced the civililation of this age— [exclamation on the Democratic side—" Good; that's eo"—a bill which at one fell swopo would hare impoverished the people general ly, from old age down to innocent childhood. Mr. Olin replied that the House did not require a lecture on the subject. It was clear that there was a contrary of opinions relative to the question of confiscation. He voted to day to lay the bill on the table, not because a bill f,r this purpose was not proper, but be cause ho could find no warrant in the Consti tution for the power, which by it was caught to be exercised. Mr. Colfax, of Ind., advocated a Select Committee. Mr. Dunn was opposed to a sweeping con fiscation bill. He wanted n distinction made against the leaders. M. Bingham, of Ohio, maintained the prop erty of a bill to punish all wilful rebels de priving them of property. Mr. Lehman, of Pa., opposed the confisca tion bill, and looked on the march of our armies as the proper mode of suppressing the rebellion and reestablishing the constitution. Mr. Hickman claimed the constitution gave' the President ample power without congres sional action. • Mr. Crittenden was against all confiscation measures. They would tend to exasperate the war and postpone the time of putting down the rebellion. Mr. Crittenden addressed the House at length, asserting that the people would per mit neither the abolitionists nor the secession iiltS to put down the constitution. Mr. Edwards, of N. H., said that a large majority of the people north do not desire to interfere with slavery in the south, andalargs majority of the republicans here do not desire to interfere with it, unless it be necessary to save the country. Mr. Crittenden replied he was glad of the interruption. He was gratified with the dec laration ; it was what he had himself believed. He concluded by saying he knew of no safety for himself and his countrymen but in the preservation of the Constitution and the Union. He took those as his shield and spear. House adjourned. Sarum—Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, -pre sented the petition of W. C. Jewett, in favor of a defensive stand still policy at Yorktown, and to secure a reserve force of 25,000 men. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,, from the Ju diciary Committee, reported a resolution in relation to the pay of the first Senators and Representatives from the State of Minnesota. Passed. Mr. Halo, of Now Hampshire, offered a %solution that the Military Committee be in sPruoted to inquire whether any general, in tho army before Yorktown, exhibited himself drunk in the face of the enemy, and 'if any measures have been taken for the trial and Punishment of ouch officers. Mr. Sumner, of Msachusetti . , suggested that it be addressed to atshe Committee on the Conduct of the War. Mr. Hale referred to the 'statement made by Mr. Morrill in the House- yesterday, and said he thought it was high time that Con grass should take some notice of these things. If officers will thus load loyal men to be slaughtered like beasts, no punishment' is too great for them. Mr, Foster, o f coon., said the . Senate had MA taken the high ground it ought to have taken in regard confirming men known to be intemperate. It becomes ul" to weed our own garden first, and correct our own laxity, and he was pained to say, criminality, in this respect. Foote said the General referred to had net-been confirmed. Mr. Hale said he knew the Senate had not taken high ground enough, but if officers got so drunk that they could not sit , on a horse, he thought come notice ought to be taken of Mr. 1111 mm, of Mass., said he sumed resolution referred to Gen. W. F. Smit m h. lie knew nothing of the ease, but he (Mr. Wil sots) never proposed the name of any person of intemperate habits. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Davis, of Hy., introduced a bill pre- scribing an additional oath for the grand and petit jurors in the United States Courts. The bill recognizing • the independence of Hayti and Liberia, and the appointment of a diplomatic representation was taken up. Mr. Sumner said that ;hug far our Govern- Meta had been unusually friendly to new gov ernments, but it had turned aside from these' nations. He thought it time to put an 'end to' this anomaly In the history of this:lhvvern mont. • Mr. Sumner made a speech in favor of the recognition of Hayti and Liberia.. The Confiscation bill was taken up. Mr. Davis resumed his remarks in opposi tion to the bill. The Senate then adjourned. • 0 Advance on Harrisonburg. 1 Ilimuseentrao, Va., April 22.—C01.

The board is to report to the President, for transmission to Congress, its conclusions and results, with such supporting information as may seem appropriate. The President may, if In his judgment the exi gencies of the country . require it, order the work recommended by the commission to be commenced and prosecuted without the pre viewe assent of Congress. The bill further provides that the amount appropriated this session for fortifiCations shall be expended, under the direction. of the President, upon such defensive works as shall • be recommended by the Commission, and au thorises the- President to accept any sums of money loaned or advanced by the several States for the construction of, defensive works for the protection of the States making such Loans, upon such terms as shall be agreed upon between the proper authorities. The Board is also required to consider the propriety of constructing a navy yard and depot on Northern lakes, of a foundry for heavy ordnance; and also, an armory and arsenal of construction West of the Allegheny . Mountains, and 'for additional arsenals of deposit and repair, and shall be subject to the approval of the President, and locate the same - at such points as shall from purely military considerations appear beat for the defence of the country. The bill also provides that there shall be added to that'll:Tiber of cadets at both the mil itary and naval academy, a number equal to' the present number allowed by the existing law in thus* schools, to be selected one from each Congressional District and Territory by the academia board from among such applicants as shall apply for admission, and who, upon examination, shall be deemed beet qualified, provided the number added shall have all ex , poses defrayed by their parents,or guardians, who shall be required to deposit with the superintendent of the academy, at each year, the estimated amount of money necessary to pay all expenses for one year; the cadets to be subject to all the roles and regulations es, tablished from time to time for the govern ment of said academies. topolitical news of im nc h portance is attached the visit of the Fre Minister to Rich ' Mond. It is said in quarters well informed ' upon diplomatic subjects that, althodgh the Southern authorities may seek to take ad vantage of it, his going thither was on busi ness in close consultation with the Consulates. Undue importance has - been attached to the presence of Ex-Senator awin in Richmond. It is believed that his. business is of a do mestic rather than of ; a political character. It can be safely stateirthat the.visit of these gentlemen to Richmond is not, in the re motest degree,, connected with the United 'States government, as has been without rea son assigned. A.Republican 'caucus was - held to-night, at the Capitol, continuing in session until nearly 11 o'clock. About fifty members were' pres ent—Mr. Colfax, Chairman, and'ldr. McPher son, Secretary. A general debate ensued on the several confiscation bills, in which Messrs. Stevens, Blair of Mo., Wood, Rickman, Olin. and others participate& The discussion' was somewhat of the character of that which has recently taken place in open Rouse upon that subject. The sense of the caucus seemed to be in favorof discriminating against the lead ing rebels in the confiscation of all kinds of property. It was unanimously agreed to re fer all the bills pending in the House to a Se lect Committee. of seven members, as moved to-day by representative Olin. From, California.
