W. BANK, THE LEGAL TENDER QU:STION. Tho New Ponition of the Gases—Who Are the Parties in Luterest—Facts aud Lufereuces. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 1810, The public interest manifested in the result of the Motion now pending before the Supreme Court to restore to the docket of the court the case of Dem- ing against the United States renders some facts connected with the case, and not generally known, uf unusual importance, Immediately after the vase (together with that of Latham) was dismissed, on motion of appeliant’s counsel, @ Philadelphia lawyer, named Howard, an agent, counsel or some sort of skirmisher of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and known to be such in that city, arrived here, and, ston- ping at the Jenness House, left the city again the day before the adjournment of the court. As has been published in the Husap, this party ‘was believed to have offered Deming, on betiualt of the raiiroad company, the whole amount of his claim, cosis, interests and counsel fees, if he-would consent to reinstate the case; and affidavit to that effect was then lodged with the Uhief Justice, And this harmonizes iully with the allegation of Deming now—as the basis of his motion—that his counsel was induced to consent to the dismissal by Latham’s representation that Congress would arrange it; and agai, that he should have moved to reinstate the case last spring but for the early adjournment of the court after the dismissal. Thus it seems that after consent to disiniss the appeal ia the case, on tie sup- position that Congress Would pay tie Claim, it Was proposed to move fora restoration Of the issue to the docket, without waiting to see what, i anything, Congress was willing to do; which would appear strunge, indved, without some such cause for tue Proposed action as that imputed in tae affidavit alluded to, No doubt is entertained here that the railroad company it ynestion 13 tue real party now sesking to have the legal tender question ned, thougy, || the adult is “Managed su) roea, aud toss company will be nowhere visibie 1 court, Demug belog used as their ‘*slaiking horse.” Tae case inus becomes in reality @ ‘fictitious’ one, the railroad company being tuterested tw get a reversal of tue Jegai tender decision, and tne United States being interested (uf Mr. Hoar was at the lime Ww be tuken to represent ils views) tg maintain the validity as tender o/ Its greenbucks: Both pares now (plait and defendant alike) seek to bring avout Ue same result. Such suits no Court will eatercain; lor tuey are a “contempt of court,” and upon the intimation of such a state of things an eifore will doabiiess be made Lo ferret out the wath. Of course, if the railroad company ts the read party in interest, a hearing will be sought or will be accepted While the Chief Justice ana Mr. Justice Nelsou ure absent; ior ticy were of the ma ority who declured greenbacks no tender, if Deming is the real party at present Laterested, a hearing wu be songht, to be Kept of until the return wi those two members of the Court; tor Deming’s interest is to have the legai tender decision sustained.

Upon what this bellef is founded te were hard to state, but that it exists is beyona ion. With it, too, is growiug up great dissat- isfaction with the minis ration of affairs, par- ticularly in the financial department. The needs of Spain are 80 imperative that she is com- pelied to consult them rather than the interests and good will of her loyal and patriotic subjects im this isiaad; and so toe duties on imports ave in- creased, insome Cases to the extent of being exor- bitant, and a grinding aid vexatious stamp tax is ‘unposed, against which the expression of the dissat- isfactioh of the people shows itselfin remonstrance, satire aud ridicule. Ia fact, says gue, “it seems as though the government was desirous of disgusting the inhabitants and so paving the way to get rid of the Island,” Further than thts, there are certain sins of omission and commission in the administration of aifairs—not essential wo specify —which cad easily be explained oa the hypothesis of a proposed alien- ation of the island, though not, perhaps, of sufficient importance to indicate it. A general apathy of feel- ing seems to exist among the Spaniards on the subject, gud, thougn any attack on the national in- tegrity, either with the pem or the sword, might arouse the old fiery ardor, present appear. ances lead to the conclusion that 1 would be received with more indifference than at any time heretofore.
