The discus. sions and considerations of the subject in its various commendable and objectionable featarea have not been confined to the executive and legislative de- tg, but te press, the pulpit, the lyceums and the whole community have manitested the deep- est interest in the matter, For several years in succession there have beea efforts made in the Legisiatuy to do away with hanging and to pun- ish murderers only by imprisonment for life. This year, however, the attempt has been more than usu- ally vigorous, the chief reason being that there 1s now confined im the ‘Thomaston jail a negro mur- derer, under sentence of death, and a few tender- hearted philanthropists are anxious that he should escape the penalty the law has prescribed for him, ‘The crime of which the meerschaum-colored can- didaze for the scaffold has been convicted was one of the most savage, atrocious and heart-sickening of any ever commited in a civilized community; and after the horrible particulars of it have been pe- rused the reader will wonder ff there is a sane, law- abiding citizen on the globe who couid conscien- thously say that the community ought not to protest against the existence of such unsafe and disreputa- ble characters.

Both of the women earued au ample live- lihood by binding shoes for tae firm of Keith, Berry & Co., of Auburu, and their absence from wors for several days having been nouced by Alr. Keita, he ‘went to the house to ascertain the cause, aud it Was tuen that the murder was tirst discovered. ‘tne scene which presented itself was probany ove of tae most sickening and revolt’4ag thai can be Imagiued. On the floor, near the door of her sleeping apartment, was stretched the lifeless body of casweil, her bead and shoulders in oue room and her and lower tabs in another. ‘Te body was partially covered witn a night dress, aud ou proceeding to take noid of it it was frozen sult and seemed to have been in that condivien for scversl days. A broken clair, covered with blood, lay hear by, affording evidence in itself thatis had been used in the murder of old Polly. Hardly bad tiis terciole scene been realized before another suit more terrible met their gaze, In the bed, in & small room, say ten ject squure, was the lifeless and ghastly body of the widow sinsley, aso frozen stiff and lying, With her night clothes on, in a pool of congeated hiood. ‘Phe vedclotues were also matted with blood, the quilt aud feather tek torn, the feathers scattered about, and everyting indicating that a terrible strugmie tor ie had taken place. The body of Mra. Kinsley was terribly cut and mangied. The ‘ugular vein was severed by a deep gase on the side of the tiroat, and there were also cuts on tno leit jawbone and on the left forehead, a gash neariy six inches in lengta in the left ieg, vnd severe bruises on the lett shoulder, not to inenuion maay minor cuts and bruises, and tere was aiso conclu. sive evidence that an iadecent outrage had peen committed or attempted.

There was aiso a wound over her right eye, acat on ber leit arm above the elbow, and @ cut on her leit kuackies.

Benjamin Horwitz.—In er ot to the Court of Common Pleas of the State of Maryland. It appears that in February, 1791, one Daniel Bowley leased certain property in the clly of Baltimore for the term of ninety-nine years, the lessee covenanting to pay “the yearly rent or sum of fifteen pounds, current money of Maryland, payable in English gold guineas, weighing five pennyweights and six grains, @t thirty-five shillings each, and other gold and sliver at their established weight and rate, according to the act of Assembly.” On the Ist ot January, 1866, when the annual rent was due, Payment was tendered m currency, a8 usual gince the passage of the Legul Tender act, and it was refused, although up to that time such payment had been promptly accepted and acknow: as sufficient. It was heid in the court below that as gold and silver were the legal tenaer at the time the enacunent of the law making Treasury notes a legal tender and as the act did not affect them as such, they stil remain a legal tender, the act only providing aa additional currency and declari it also a legal tender. ‘The right of the federal government to issue Treasury notes is undisputed, the constitu. vional question in the case bemg oniy as to the power of Congress to make them a tender in pay- ment of private debts. The right or power te make them a tender in payment of pubiic depts Is u very duferent thing, Congress haying power to 1x tle amount of cuties and also the right to determiae in what such duties shall ve payable. After discus- sing the authority of Congress to provide-a currency at some length, the court coming to the conclusion that the right to “coin money” meaas the rigit to make moncy out of something that must be colucd, such language being o! is said:—Again it 1s well worthy of observation im this connection to notice that the states are expressly prohibited from making anytning but id and silver a tender in payment of Snonid the State of Maryland, therefore, enact & law adop the Treasury notes as a legal tender the luw would be unconstitutional and void, The States, it would seem, toeretore, were to regu- late the law of Leader subject to this restriction, and they could not, therefore, declare these notes ‘a texal vender in payment of debts, Did tne constitution, then, intend to authorize Congress to make any- thing else a tender in payment of debts than what it authorized the States to designate or establisu by Jaw a tender for that purpose? A construction tat it did not so intend would secure a uniform currency, which is tue tnanifest object of this restriction on tae States. A disferent interpretation leads to the wuoima- lous position that, while the States can only provide by law that goid and silver shail be a legal teader for the paymeut of debts, Congress can pass a law prouding. ‘a substitute for coin, which, if tie States leclared sould be received, the action of the Leyis- Javure would be repugnant to the coustitution. ‘the coustitutionality of the Lega! Tender act is conceded, but it must not be held to apply only to public debus, and in this spirit itshould be interpreted and applied in this case, If these views ure correct it is plain Lo. the court that the act of Congress should oot aifect any case in such @ manner as to im- paér the faith of a bona side contract for tie are of gold and sliver; although the court may ¢iabarrassed in securing the ends of justice under such @ construction, this 1s the resuitof the law pro- viding more than one currency asa legal tender in payment of debis. The act 1isell exacis of the cin- therefore, must be said to sustain a coniract by which god and silver may be obluwned. By the act of loos, subsequently repealed, Congress ceciured that atl contracts for the purchase or sale of gold and silver coin or bullion, if to be performed utter a period e ceedmg three days, shall be in writing and signed by the parues, &c. So long therefore as Congress recug- nizes by law the existence of two distinct kinds of currency, tie courts should recognize the validity 0+ aconivact which Oak ee: provides for the payuient of a debt in either of them. The point was made in the case that the court must render its judgineut for 80 many dollars and cents, witout nfereuce to Wie currency in which the judgment is to be paid; and that, therefore, in case of the breach of a contract ior the paymeni of gold, it would be incompetent for tins court co add the premium on goid and render judg- ment tpn | A To tbls the court say:—A coritract for the paymenvof a debt in gold and siiver ts unyues- tionably a legal contract, and w estimate the dam- ages in case of a breach, in another currency, a paper currency, and piace it on a level with gold aad sliver, when tie. exible laws of trade make a fundamental distinction between them, 1s to accom piish a legal fraud. The‘power of the court is not coneiuded vy the judgment under a given state of facta or cause shown. it may @ judgment to be entered and satisfied on the paywent, with me- rest of the sum specified, according to the terms of the contracts in gold and stiver; and it may, in ike manner, order it to be entered satisiied om the pay- Ment of its equivalent in currency, as yeudered in the judgment. in conclusion, ft is said tuai act of Congress may well apply where tie payment is not expressiy reserved in guid and sliver; but contracts for the payment of gold apd silver coin are silll valid and.diuding, and it is the duty of the court to maintain them invioiate and io render judgment upon thei; sv as to eniorce uel ja faitn.
