DECEMBER 11, 1568. @7 READING MATTER ON BYERY PAGE. SES OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- | GRAPHIO AWD OTHE ATTER. ‘Tnere is considerable feverishness in the public mind just now in regard to the decision lixely to be made by the United Sates Su- | yreme Cour! upon the momentous question of che constitutionality of the Legal Tender act. ‘The optuions of the lower courts have been generally favorable to the legality of the acts snd this fact is considered to be to a certain extent hopeful for an affirmative decision by the Supreme Court; yet in a case of such maz- affecting such wide interests, there ly much anxiety in view of a possible | eciston against the power of Congress, and auch speculation as to what the resuits of such “decision wall be ‘The N.Y. Pos! argues that there is no reason for such alarm as some express. If the Cour finds that Cotgress bas no constitutional power © pass the act, them the act is void from the be- ning. Greenbacks are not now and have at any time been in iaw a legal tender for the payment of debts, public or private Any mam agreeing to pay dollars is, ud in law to pay comed gold. But contracts made since the legal-tender notes | became the money of account by the custom of | Will be held by the courts to be bound by atcusiom. Contracts made simce the pub- benuon of the legal-tender act as law, and in | view ofthat act, will be held to refer to that act amd to include it;so fast the legal-tender clause will control them, mot as law, butas | part of the contract. Such a decision, there. fre, of made, will not stop all business, sil accounts, and ruin all debtors, as people mmagine. It will mot even unsettle agaim contracts which, made in specie times, | have Deen settled under the lecal-tender act. | But old debts, contracted before 1881, will no longer be payable in anything but gold coin. New contracts made after the decision, will be payable im such money as may be agreed upon by the parties. ‘The Baltimore Sun urges that the States shall | contest the power of Congress to give right ot way for railroads, should that body undertake | to grant a charter for a railroad from Wash- ington to Civemmnatt or elsewhere. And should the different States not do so, the Sun suggests At individual citizens of the States should ing the constitutional matier involved to a ough to obtain Congressional sanction for | obtatming an outlet aud improved railroad ta- culues, we are to have all sorte of legal ob- | cles brought to bear against us in behalf of monopoly.

Abymt three o'clock this moroing, Lather Whitten, of the outside guards atthe jul, was met at the entrance by a party of mea, who presented pistols at him, demanding sileuce or duath. hitten shouted, however, but was seized, knocked down, and intormed | ther shoat was uttered she should dis. By this time the Jil office was filled with men searching for the key. Sheriff Fulleniove, understanding the situation. came dowa from bis sleeping apart- ment, and gained the door leading to the west side of the jail. Herebe was met by an armed force, with pistols directed at him. He ex- claimed: “Gentlemen, don’t shoot; | am the Sheriff.” One of them, however, fired, the shot taking effect m the right arm and inflicting a painful wound. The keys were demanded, but he positively refused to surrender them. About a dozen of the men then entered Fullen- Jove’s room, where his wile lay im bed, and de- manded the jail keysot ber, which she refused to give: but they found them concealed in a drawer. Thomas Matthews, of the inside guards, was compelled to open the celis of the men the mob had determined to hang. Fiank and William Reno were the first vic- tims. They were dragged out and bung alon side of each other on the same pillars, Simon Keno was then broaght out, bat he fought ths mob with great desperation, knocking one or two down before he was overpowered and lett suspended between the ceiling and the floor. Charis Anderson was the jast victim. He was heard to beg for the privilege of praying: bat this request was refused, aud he was hung at the southwest corner of the yail, At 4 o'clock the train, with the entire party, consis:ing of from seventy-five to one hundred men, started off, Charles Anderson and Frank Reno were su} rendered by the Canadian authorities upor solemn pledge by the United States Govern- ment that they should bave a trial, and if found innocent, be returned to Canada. MvTINY ON BOARD THE PERUVIAN Ieon- CLaps.—A difficulty has occurred between the officers and crews of the Peruvian fleet recent- ly fitted out in New Orleans, The transports are pow lying in tbe Mississippi, the crews ot which were shipped in New York with the express understanding that they should be paid two months m advance ud that they Were (o serve under the United States flag for one year. Yesterday the officers of the vessels hoisted the Pern vian flag, when the crews ma- tinied and refused to work the vessels, on the ground that they were no longer under the protection of the stars and stripes, Last night the officers attempted by force to compel the crews to work the vessels to sea; but the crews Tefused, and all commanication with them was cut off. The crews then threatened that should the attempt be made to force them to sea. they would throw the efficers overboard. This bh the desired effect, and the officers at once ap pesled to the police forces of New Orleans tor assistance. The police officals declined to in- tertere, on the ground that th diction, and the conflict between the officers and crews is progressing. eel Opsra CLOTHS—WAITE, BED, AND BLUE.
