What is a Legal Tender
The Bucks County Intelligcncer, of last week.
says :—" On.lllonday evening, 4 .the 7th inst.,
a somewhat peculiar question came befOre'dur
Court of Common Pleas—the late Adjourned
COurl having been adjourned over until that
time, for the purpose of hearing and deciding
it. The facts are, Elizabeth Duke, late Eliza
! beth Boats, Administratrix of °cage Boate,
deceased, issued an execution against Henry
Gratnbo, on which the Sheriff sold certain real
estate in Bristol township, for $ll,OOO. At
the sale, Plaintiff gave notice that the purcha
ser must pay in gold enough to satisfy Plain
tiffs claim. After the sale, it appearing that
there were disputes between different lien
creditors as to the distribution of this fund,
the Sheriff paid the money into Court, and an
auditor was appointed to report distribution ,
Whfi'd ----- led To nlloiv" - Plailciirlbe balance or
her claim, in full to-wit, $7,962 50. The au•
ditor's report having been confirmed by the
Court, Plaintiff's counsel demanded gold of the
Prothonotary, who refused to-pay it., but ten•
dered the amount after deducting per centage,
now $7,402 GO, in United States Treasury
Notes, issued under Act of Congress of July
17th last. This was refused, and at Adjourn
ed Court, a rule .w-as wilted .against the Pro
thonotary, commanding him to show cause
why en attachment should not issue against
I him, to compel him to pay over this sum in
gold. It is proper to state that the purchaser
had not really paid the purchase money in
gold to the Sheriff, nor he to the Prothonota
i ry, but that an arrangement had been made
I between (herd and the Commonwealth Bonk of
Philadelphia—a subsequent creditorto pay
in Treasury Notes. unless compelled to pay
gold, when the bank wonld furnish the gold.
At the time of sale gold was at a premium of
about 4/ per cent.; ed the Plaintiff, if paid in
gold then, could have secured a nice little sum
by selling the gold. But in the meantime,
since the sale the premium had fallen to
about 1/ per cent.—still, however, something
of an object on so large a sum. As the ease
stood at the time of sale, the money must have
been paid in gold ; but on the 17th of March
litSt Congress passed an act authorizing the
issuing of one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars more of Treasury Nr.tes and making
them, and also the fifty millions anthorized by
Act of Congress ofJuly 1 7th, above mentioned
a legal tender in all cases whatever. But till;
Act had hot been generally puffilisbed, end ti 34
many its provisions were believed to extend
'only to making a legal tender of the new is
sue not yet in circulation, so as to be pro
cured in sufficient amount to pay this sum
But before the hearing now, it had been as
certained that the said Act embraced also the
notes authorized by the Act of July 17th last,
and therefore the tender of them had been
preperly made, and the Court discharged the
rule, upon which Plaintiff's counsel receipted
for and received the Treasury Notes as ten
dered, being, as the law now stands, the best
money the purchaser was obliged to pay.
The Catholic on the Slavery Ques-
tion
The Pittsburg Catholic, in an article in
this week's issue, taken decided grounds on
the slavery question. It says: "We are
glad to perceive that there is much likelihood
of the sp"edy abolition of slavery in the
Diatrict of Columbia. We believe there is
no constitutional difficulty in the way of such
a measure. If it can be done without infring
ing on the constitutional righ ts. of Southern
ers, it ought to be done. Slavery always
was a disgrace to the national capital, but
the reasons that justified its toleration there,
exist no longer. Negro slavery, as it exists
in this country, has no rights, for a wrong
can have no rights. It must, however, be
tolerated by the general government, and 11
us, simply because it is not cur business to
interfere with it. his strictly a State insti
tution, or, we should rather say a State sin.
After stating that "we must bear with it in
those States where it exists however we may
bewail its existence," it adds : ''We can,
however, remove go dung that is at our
doors, no matter who put it there; and, ac
cordingly, we want slavery removed from
the gates of the capital of this free repub
lie "
Ma. CLAY'S Orixtot.r.—ln the series of
compromise resolutions proposed by Mr.
Clay in 1850, was the following :
"Resolved,. That it is inexpedient to abol
ish slavery in the District of Columbia while
-that institution continues to exist in the
State of Maryland, vithOut the consent of
that State, without the consent of the people
of the District, and without just compensa.
tion to the owners of slaves within the Dis
trict."
In a speech upon these resolutions in the
Senate, Feb. 6, 1850', Mr. Clay said :
"I have uniformly maintained in this body,
as I contended for in 18.38, and ever have
done, that , the power to abolish slavery with
in the District of Columbia has
.heew vested
in COngress by language too clear and ex
plicit to admit, in my judgment, of any
rational doubt whatever." •
Those who cry "wolf" all the time, are
not believed when the "wolf" actually comes.
It' will prove to he so with those shallow
friends of the institution of slavery, who
denounce, without discrimination,' every in
terference_ with it as "unconstitutional"
They - will command no holier, when some
thing may be:pro-posed witieh is_ really "un
FoOitiLtional." ' They are 'making the Con
stitution too'cheap, by lugging it on . every.
occasion.- . -
Ti they would' 'admit, as Mr. Clay, did,
that Congress has complete' power over the
subject of slayer? District and in' the
Territories, they - could , resisethe exereisii. of

Comtnon SOOOl Laws
At the late session of the Legislature afur
ther supplement to the Common School laws
of the State was adopted which contains some
rather important provisions. Twenty-two
days are made a common school month, and
no , 4 Common School shall be kept. open for
the purpose of ordinary instruction on any
Saturday, but two Saturdays of each month
as the proper Board of Directors may desig
nate shall be appropriated to exercises or in
stitutes for the improvement of the Teachers
of the district." The President and Secretary
of a school Board can file a certificate of the
indebtedness of the collector of the school tax,
in the Prothonotary's office, and the certificate
will have the same operation as a judgment.
The County Superintendent, before entering
on his duties, shall swear or affirm that lie
will perforln tho duties of his office honestly,
napartially, diligently and according to law.
Section 16 authorizes the Trustees of any
Academy or Seminary in this Commonwealth,
which received money or land therefrom for
educational purposes, by deed ofnot less than
two thirds of (heir number, to convey all the
real estate, buildings. mid -properly- and fonds
of, or belonging thereto, to (he Board of Di
rectors, shall publish an annual statement of
the amount of moneys received.and exPended,
and the amount due from Collectors, and set
ting forth all the financial operations of the
district, in not less then ten written or printed
handbills, to be put up in the moat public,
places in the district..
A nit at the Secessionists
The humorous editor of the Baltimore Co.
American thus admirably hits off a ridieu
lons practice into which the Sec ssionists of
Alaryland have fallen—that of circulating,
and chuckling, over bogus stories of Federal
defeats:
"They can, it less time than it takes to
write this article, get news, from Yorktown
that their Rebel friends have really ventured
from behind their entrenchments and whipped
SfcClellan, killing thousqnds of the `qietesta.
ble Yankees." At once a bottle of Old Rye,
Jr., is brought out, and a perfect jollification
is had. After an hour or two spent in this
way, ,and when all becomes quiet again a
drunken rowdy from Baltimore slips in
quietly, and delicately makes it known that
the Merrimac has annihilated our modest
Sampson—but that it is not generally known
in Baltimore Out comes the bottle again,
and by the time it gets around twice the
ce ebration of that victory is over, They
start out to spread the report, and in telling
it they t frighteu some of Our Union friends,
who a:e not acquainted with their habit of
lying. They then await the arrival of the
"News Sheet ;" it will have,.it. It comes—
but it is not in it. But atop; there comes a
nigger wagoner, sober. He yhispers the
news that we sent by lilm to ..his Secession '
master, by a Rebel friend in Baltimore :
Banks has had 5,000 men drowned, and the
balance; 40,000, have been cut to pieces or
taken prisoners bp the celebrated Captain
Ashby, with_ltis ?MD cavalry.. _They believe_
it, of course; didn't the nigger say it, and
would Mr. A• (who was Kane's aid-de camp
in getting up the rebellion) send such word
to Mr. B. (who burnt the bridges at Kane's
command) if it was not so? At any rate,
out comes the bottle again. Hip! hip! bur.,
rah l (but very quietly ; they generally retire
to the cellar to cheer.) So they go; one
continual round of pleasure and rejoicing,
and their friends getting whipped- in the
South about twice each week."
A Desponding Rebel
The tone of the most of the letters is ex
ceedingly dosrondent, indicating great de
moralization in the Rebel ranks. One of
them, apparently from . n officer, and ad
dressed to the Hon. A. M. Gentry, of Texas
is thus prefaced: "For obvious reasons, I
do not sign my name to this Liter i but you
will know at once whom it is from." The
reasons are rendered "obvious" by the fol.
lowing paragraph:
"I tell you, Colonel, that there is no nie
in further resistance. We have neither the
means nor the men to carry on the war.—
Our troops are utterly demoralized, heart
sick and home sick. My regiment has not
been paid a cent in five mouths, and I, who,
as you know, am worth, in ordinary times a
hundred thousand dollars, am obliged to
borrow the price of the postage upon this
letter. How can men be expected to fight
under such circumstances?"
PA2 , 110 AT Rtcumexn.—The Nashville Union
of the 29th ult. has the following :
From a gentleman who has just come
through from Richmond we learn that a fear
ful state of affairs prevails in the rebel capi
tal. There is great scarcity of the necessa-
ries of life. Provisions aro at famine prices
and many of the poor aro in a starving con

to extend them ordinary charities, and cases
of dreadful suffering and destitution are re
ported, especially in the families of rebel
soldiers.
nen once noted for their liberality are en
gaged in all sorts of dishonorable specula
lions. The people have no hope of defending
the city against the federal troops, and look
on a speedy surrender as certain. It is the
saddest and dreariest city.on the globe. On
all sides aro witnessed want and squalid pov
erty, selfishness and wild debauchery.
Wm To Go SOUTH —At an immense muss
Meeting of the colbred people of Chicago,
ori.the 21st ult., tho following resolution,
among others,' was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That -in—the-opinion- of this
meeting (and we speak advisedly for the
masses of our p.eople)`that the abolition of

the general migration of the colored people
of the North to the South.
It is a curious historical fact that the men

when all my merits, seemed to my own
eyes insignificant, and I felt very modest,
not td say bashful. :;fit was when I was
in love. Then, sometimes, I did not
know where to put my handi and feet.
Did I mention that in the same hands
and feet consists any great beauty 7 They
are both small.
Three years ago I fell in love. I did
not go into it quietly, weighing all my
idol's perfection's against her defects ; I
fell in head and ears, two seconds after
the introduction.
Mr. Haynes, Miss Arnold," said a
mutual frienc, and lo ! I was desperately
in love. She was a fairy-like figure,
with long, brown curls, floating over a
snowy neck and shoulders, and falling
down on the waist of an enchanting sky
blue dress. Her large, dark blue ens,
were full of saucy light, yet! how tender
and loving they could look I [This I
found out later]
Of all the provoking, tantalizing little
coquettes that ever teased the heart of a
poor man, Susie Arnold was the most be
witching; I would pass an evening with
her, and go home satisfied that one more
interview woulimake me the happiest of
men; but the next time I met her a cool
nod or an indifferent glance threw down
all my castles. She was very cautious.
Nat a word did she drop to make me be
lieve that she loved me; and yet her
hand would linger in mine, her color
rise if I loOked_ my
.feelings,. and her
oyes droop, to be raised again in a mo
ment, full of laughing defiance. She de
clared her intention to be an old maid
most emphatically, and in'thei, next .sen,
teffe - elWiifild - add :
I never did love, but if I should take
a fancy to anybody, I should love, like—
like a house afire. Though," she would
say, Carelessly, " I never saw anybody
yet worth setting my thoughts npon."
I tried a thousand ways to shake hor
betray some interest in myself:- Propose
outright, I could not. She had a *ay,
whenever I tried it, of. looking in my
faoe with an air of grave attention, of
profound interest, that was equivalent in
its effect to knocking_rne -down; it took
all the breath out of me.. . •
One evening, while there, •I • was sub
ject to moll attacks, and the •gipsy, put
ting on a grava - facei - gavernieTti lecturo
on' the subject of health, winding. -up
" The best thing you can do is to get,
a wifo te . tako.eare of you, and to keep
you from► ve
or study. r .you to
do it; if you can get anybody to have
you." .
"Indeed," I.- rather piqued,
"there are only too many. I refrain
from a selection for fear of_hreaking oth
er hearts. Row. fond all - the ladies are
of me V' I- added,•conceitedly;•"though' I
can't see , that I am partictilarly , fascina
ting." ,
"Neither' can I," said Susie, with. An'
air
-of perfectsimplicity, • •
"..Can't you ?" said I. • " hophd----
hoped:—" Oh 1 that •dreadfully attentive
face ahem. ." That isr,Ml , 46:
thought perh:tps--oh 1 • icy' head 1 my
head V' and I .buried my face in the
cushion.
" Does it aeho ao very tinily ?" and
she, put her cool little hand among my
minis: I telt the thrillher finger 3. give
me all the way to the toes of my boots.
My head being really very painful, I was
obliged to leave ; but all the way home,
the soft cool touch of those - little fingers
lingered upon my brow.
Soon after this it became necessary for
me to leave the city on business. An
offer of lucrative partnership in the South
in the office of a lawyer friend of mine,
made me decide to extend my trip, and
see how the "land lay." One thing was
certain, I could not leave home for
months, perhaps, without some answer
from Susie. Dressed in my faultless cos
tutne„and full of hope, I went to Mr.
'Arnold's. Susie was in the parlor at
the piano, alone. She was singing "l've
something sweet to tell you."
At the words " adore you I"
she gave such a glancd I was ready to
prostrate myself; but, sweeping back the
curls With laughing defiance, she warbled,
" But I'm talking in my sleep."
" Then," I cried, "you love one when
you sleep. May I think so ?"
"Oh ! yes, if you choose, for Rory
O'Moore says dreams go by contraries,
you , know," -
I sat down beside her.
" Alt !" said 1 - , sighing, " Rory's idol
dreamed she hated him."
" Yes," said Susie, "that was the dif
ference between his ease and yours."
We chatted away for a time. At last
I began—
" Miss F,usie, I came up to tell you
this evening, that I—I—"
How she was listening ! A bright
thought -struck. me.; I would -tell - her of .
my journey, and in the emotion she was
sure to betray, it would be easy to declare
my love.
" Miss tusie," I said,
South to•morrow."
She swept her hand across the keys of
the piano into a stormy polka.. I tried
to see her face, but her curls fell over it.
I was prepared to catch her if she faint
ed, or comfort her if she,wept. I listen
ed for the sobs I fancied the music was
intended to conceal; but, throwing "ick
the curls with a sudden toss, she struck
the last chord of the polka and said, gay
-1Y;
Going away ?"
"Yes; for some months."
" Dear me, how distressing ! Stop at
Levy's as you go home, and order me
some extra _pocket handkerchiefs fur
this melancholy occasion, will you?'
You do not seem to require them," I
said, rather piqued. " 1 shall stay some
months."
" Well, mite to Pa, won't you 7 And
if vu get married, or die, or any thing
else, let,_ us know."
" I have an offer to be apartner in a
law office in Kentucky," 1 said, deter
mined to try her, " and if I accept it, as
I have some thought of doing, shall
never return."
Her face did not change. The old,
Braley look was there, as I SOlce ; but I
noticed that one little hand closed com
pulsively over her hair watch chain, and
the other fell upon the keys, making, - for
the first time, a discord.
"Going away forever ?" she said, with
a sad tone.
"Miss Susie, I hoped you. at least,
would miss mo and sorrow in my ab
sence."
She opened her eyes with an express
ion of profound amazement.
"I 7',
" Yes, it might change all my plans, it'
my absence would grieve you."
"Change all your plans ?"
" Yes, I hoped—l thought—"
Oh 1 that earnest, grave, face. -A.ly
cheeks burned, my hands and feet seemed
to swell, and I felt cold chills all over
me. Icuuld not go on. I broke down
for the third time.
There was an awkwaiiil silence. I
glanced at Susie. Her eyes were rest
ing on my hand, which lay on the arm
of the sofa.
The contrast between the black horse
hair and the flesh seemed to strike her.
" What a pretty little hand !" she
said.
A brilliant idea passed through ray
brain.
" You may have it if you will I" I said
offering it.
She took it between her own, and toy
ing with the fingeni, said—
o
-"May I ?"
" Yes, if you give me this one," and I
-raised' her beautiful hand to my lips: —
She looked into my face. What she
read, there I cannot say.; but, if over eyes
tried to talk, mine did. Her color rose,
the white lids fell over the glorious eyes
and the tiny hand struggled•to free itself.
Was I fool enough to release it ?
What I said I know not; but I dare
say my wife can tell you. Five minutes
later, my arm encircled the blue dress,
the brown curls fell upon my breast, and
my lips were in contact with another
pair.

CATCECING SNIPE IN BAGS
In one of his sketches of " Egypt"—
whieh means southern Illinois—Hazel
Greene, Esq., gives the following account
of a snipe hunt.
The Egyptians have custom of "taking
the green ones sniping"—id est, sniping
those who are from the 'East, and who
are not posted with reference to all things
practiced within the American Egypt.
No matter bow well a titan may be edu
cated, or low groat may he his accom
plishments, or how polished his manners
—he is a green one in their estimation
unless he knows all about the ways of
the woods The Egyptians have a cm--
tom of sniping them, did we say ? Very
well, sniping them is the word ; and now
we will commence in a roundabout way
to tell you how it is done.
" A fine evening this," said a native,
bursting into our presence.
cc v ery : ,
" Nice night for snipes, I kinder
think,"
" Sni;)e ! Are they plentiful in this
region ? '
" I'lenty ! Golly, I'd tell a man they
was ! Why, sir, no longer ago than last
week, me and two other fellows, we went
out and cotch four bag fulls."
" Caught them 1 Why how upan
earth did you manage it ?" said we look
ing forward to a new item.
" Yes, ecich 'em; and we dune it easy
enou.Ah.. -Drove them-into. the bags,. sir
—drove same as you drive quails into a
net. Four or five of us going out to
catch a lot to-night. Sec how its done,
if you feel like going with us."
Of course-we felt like going ; how could
we feel otherwise ?
A little after dusk found us on on our
way to the snipe swamp, all anxious fur
the sport Our company was made up
as follows ; Six Egyptians; ohn Ander
son Augustus daver, f • York
City, new visiting an Eg tan relative,
Hazel Greene, Esq, Author of '' A tour
of the American Egypt," and two empty
sacks.
" I am going
" Here': , the place—keep
. still," said
the Egyptian's, when we reached the
edge of a marsh, about two miles from
the village. " Now, you two fellers what
don't know how to drive, you hold open
the hags, while wo as knows goes into
the swamp and drives 'eta out''
The "two fellers" referred to were
John Anderson Aug,ustus)Javer, from
New York city, and your narrator. Of
course we were willing to assist in the
sport as much as we could, and so they
stationed at favorable points, about
one hundred yards apart, Instructed us
bow to hold the sacks open with their
expanded mouths near the ground, and
desired us to remain immovable and si
lent, and to keep constantly puffing away
with lighted segars, in order that the fire
would show and attract the snipe into
the sacks. We confess that after having
taken several - philosophical views of the
matter, we did not exactly like what was
going on ; but we held the bag, never
theless.
flaying ar angel us to their entire
liking, the six Egyptians struck out on
their drive. Away into the swamp went
they, hissing and showing, fend slinking
the busires with a right good will fur a
few minutes. Then all became still, arid
silence, reigned awfttLy supremo for half
en hour—not a leaf rustled, not an over
hanging branch scraped against its fel
lows, and
The tlO.l ng of my cratai boys
N% 00 all the ROW-1,1 1 heard,'
Pretty soon I hear - 41a voice—
" Hello, Greene !"
'( Aye, aye,
" Caught any snipe yet ?"
This was from John Anderson Augus
tus Javer. To make sure, we got up
and shook the bag, after which wo felt
warranted in replying:
" No! Nary snipe ' • but I think the
contemptible snipes have caught us."
And so they had—leastwise, suoh was
our conclusion on coming together and
holding a coueil of war. We were in
deed sold, and with feelings none the
best in. the world, we slung our sacks up
into the fork of a sapling, and rolled out
fbr home. It is needless to add that wo
found the six Egyptians already theft:),
and that they laughed heartily while we
dithA, not being -able to -sees - ourselves,
where the laugh came in.
DiTaming on Wedding Cake
A hatohelor editor out West, who had
received from the fair hand of a bride a
piece of elegant wedding cake to dream
on, thus gives the result of his experi
ence.
Wo pet it under the head of our pil

blessed wtih an easy conscience,
and
soon snored prodigiously. The god of
dreams gently toughed us, and lo! in fan•
cy we were married. Never was a little
editor `_so happy. It- was "roy love,"
"dearest," "sweetest," ringing, in our ears
every moment. 6 i Oh, that the• dream had
broken off here! But no; some evil
genius put it into. the head of our ducky'

flashed with excitement.
"My love, my sweet, my dear love,"
exclaimed we, soothingly, "do not get an
gry, I'm sure it's very good, if it is a
bread pudding."
"You mean, low wretch," fiercely re
plied our wife, in a higher tone, "you
know it's a plum pudding."
"Then, madam, it's so meanly put to

devil himself would not know it. I tell
you, madam, most distinctly and emphat•

"It is plum pudding V' shrieked our
wife and she hurled a glass of claret in
our face, the glass itself tapping the claret
from our nose.
"Bread pudding" gasped we, pluck to
the last, and grasping a roasted chicken
by the left leg.
'"Plum pudding !" rose above the din,

in -defiance, dodging the soup tureen, and
falling under its contents.
"Plum pudding !" yelled our amiable
spouse, as, noticing our misfortune, she
determined to keep us down by_ piling
upon us dishes with no gentle hand.
Then in rapid succession followed the war
cries, "Plum pudding !" she shrieked
with
.every dish.
"Bread pudding !" in smothered tones
came up in reply. Then it was • "plum
pudding" in rapid succession, the last
cry growing feebler, till just, as we can
recollect, it bad grown to a whisper,
"plum pudding" resounded like thUnder,
followed by a tremendous crash, as our
wife leaped upon the pile with her deli
cate feet, and counninced jumping up

awoke, and thus saved our life. We shall
never dream on wedding cake again ;
that's the moral.
Swearing a Contraband.
!The following description of swearing
a cou'raband is from a letter to the Cin
cinnati Envuirer frJui amember of Com
piny K, First lowa Cavalry :
Innumerable questions were propound
ed to him, when the corporal advanced
observing •
"See here, Dixie, before you enter the
services of the United States, You must
be sworn."
'Yes, Massa, I do dat," he replied,
when the corporal continued:
•‘ Well, then, take hold of this Bible,"
holding out a letter envelope upon which
was delineated the Goddess of Liberty
standing upon a Suffolk pig, wearing the
emblem of our country. The negro
grasped the envelope cautiously with his
thumb and fore finger, when the corpo•
ral proceeded to administer the oath by
saying :
"You Jo solemnly swear that you will
support the Constitution of the United
States, and see that there are no grounds
floating, upon the coffee at all tines.
"Yes, masse, I do dat,"_he replied, "I
allers settle him in the coffee-pot.
Here he let go of the envelope to ges
ticulate by a downward thrust of his fore..
, finger, the direction that would be given
to the coffee-grounds in future. •
"Never mind bow you do it," shouted
the corporal, "but hold on to the
"Lordy, masse, I forgot," said the ne
gro, as he darted forward and grasped the
envelope with firmer clutch, when the cor
poral continued :
"And you do solemnly swear that you
will support the Constitution of all, the
loyal States, and will not spit upon the
plates when cleaning them, nor wipe 'them
with your shirt sleeves. °
Here a frown lowered upon the brow of
the negro, his eyes expanded to their lar.
gest climensiiirs, while hislips protruded
with a rounded form, as ho exelatmed . :
"Lordy, mum, I iieber do dat; I allers
washes dent nice. Ole raissus 'dolor

"Never mind, old missus," shouted the
corpora!, as he resumed : "and do you
solemnly swear that you will putiaailk in
the coffee eVery Morning, and see that the
ham and eggs are not cooked. too much
or too little."
"Yea, Ido dat; I'se a good cook."
"And lastly," continued the corporal,
"you do solemnly swear that' when this
war is over you will make woks for 4.

"Yes, mosso, I do dat. want
