"Go! Feci ? hat 1 Have Fell.- ,
[A young lady in Xcw Y< rk was in the
liabit of writing to the Philadelphia J^edyer on
the sul>j"Ct of temperance. Her writing was
so full of pathos, ami evidenced such a deep
emotion of soul, that a friend of hers accused
her of becoming a maniac on the subject of |
temperance; whereupon she wrote the following
lines:]
Go, feel what I have felt; I
Go, bear what 1 have borne?
Hlnk 'neath a blow a father dealt,
And the cold world's proud scorn; *
Then sudor on from year to year? I
Thy sole lclief the scorching tear.
Go, kneel as I have knelt; <
Implore, beseech and pray; I
Strive the besotted heart to melt, t
The dow nward heart to stay; ]
Jie dashed, with hitter enrse, aside, ,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied, |
Go, weep as I have wept,
O'er a loved fathei's fall; '
See every promised blessing swept? 1
Youth's sweetness turned to gall;
Life'* fading flowers strewn all the way
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go, see what I have seen; (
Heboid the strong man bow, .
With gnashing teeth, 'ip bathed in blood, (
And cold and livid brow; t
Go, cateh his withered glance, and see I
There mirrorM Ids soul's misery. t
Go to the mother's side,
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep angush hide;
Wipe f:om her check the tour,
Mark the worn frame ami withered brow,
The gray that streaks Jicr dark hair now?
The fading form and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to hiiu
Whose plighted faith in early youth i
J'roinlsed onternal love and truth,
J tut who, foresworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And led her down through love and light,
And all that made the future bright, J
And chained her there,'mid want and strife,
That lowly thing, "a drunkard's wife;"
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild.
That withering blight, "a drunkard s child."
(Jo, bear, and see, and feel, and know
All that tny soul hulh felt au<1 known; H

VOL.8. CON^
Th* Decision on Ibe Enforcement Act.
Tlio Grant Uarish ease, from Louisiana,
and tho Kentucky election case,
were decided by the Supreme Court
ot the United States on Monday.
They involved the most important
questions considered by the court since
the legal-tender decision. The indictment
in each case was based upon the
celebrated enforcement, act ol 1ST0,
and the Court was called upon to construe
the third, iourth, and sixth
sections of that act.
The defendants to the Grant L'arish |
ease were indicted for alleged violations
ol the sixth section. This prohibits
two or more persons from banding
or conspiring together "to injure,
oppress, threaten, or itimidate any
citizen, with intent to prevent or hinder
his lull exercise and enjoyment ol
any right or previlegc granted or secured
by the Constitution or laws of
the United Slates." The defendants
wee charged in the indictment with I
conspiracy-to do certain specified acts, )
in violation of this provision. Were
tlii; rights which they threatened to interfere
with grunted or secured hy the ,
Constitulion or laws ol the I ni'cd (
Slates? If they were not, the ir.dict- j
ineni was fatally detective.
The Supremo Court has derided Unit j
they were not. To appreciate the
scone and importance ol the decision, j
it is necessary to understand what !
were the rights under discussion. One
was the right ol peaceable assembly i
for a peaceful and lawful purpose.
This, says Chiel .! ustice Waife, existed
long before the Constitution ol the I
United Staled, and leinauis subject to
State jurisdiction. The States alone
are authorized to punish its infraction i
It was also alleged that the conspirators
intended to interfere with
the rights ol life and personal liberty,
for they were charged with conspiracy
t ? falsely imprison or murder certain
citizens ol the United Slates resident
in Louisiana, These rights, say the
Court, are the natural rights ol man,
n 1 ti e sovereignity for their protection
rests alone with the States, " The only
obligation resting upon the United
Stales is to see ttiat the States do not
deny the right.'
Again, it was averred that the defendants
sought to restrain the right
of certain colored citizens of African
descent to vote at any election. The
right of suffrage, however, a; was decided
by the Supreme Court two years
ago, is not derived from the Constitution
ol the United States; and as the
indictment did not charge that the
intent \v.;r to exclude the colored
citizens from voting on account of
race, color, or previous condition of
servitude?so as to bring the case
within the terms of the filtccnth
amendment?there was nothiu" to
I
show a violation of the Federal Constitution
or laws.
From this it will he seen that although
the Supreme Court does not in
I - -
in .no uuuiure 111c sixm section ol the
Enforcement act to he uncoustitu tionul,
it docs decide that the. hroa<l inter].rotation
and application sought to he
given to it in the Federal courts below
is in violation of the rights ot the
States and the Constitution of the
United States.
In the Kentucky election ease, the
rjncstion was whether tiio third and
lourlh section of the Enforcement act
were appropriate legislation, under
the Constitution, to enforce the fifteenth
amendment, which provides
that the right ol citizens to vote
diall not be denied or abridged bv the
o J
United States, or by any State, cm ac*
3ount of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude. It is the opinion of
the Court that the United States has
the right under this amendment to
punish unlawful individual discrimina.ions
on account of race, color, or servitude!

I'lurnlx Hank of New York.
I
[New York Sun.] j
Judge Van Yorst rendered a deci- 1
ion of unusual importance on the ,
4th instant. Mr. David Uisley was
i citizen ol South Carolina at the out>roak
ol the war in 1801, and with a
iew of putting something beyond <
ho chances ot war, bought ol the >
Georgetown Hank of South Carolina !'

town had deposits in New I
York inoro than sufficient to secure
this check. Mr. lUsley wc. not able
to present his cheek at lite I'lurnix
Hank until the 4lh of January, I8C">.
lie avers, and the hank officials now
admit, that ho presented his check
on that day, and was told that it. was
good, and that they would honor it, I
hut that Mr. Kisley must first satisfactorily
identify himself as the payee,
fie said he would do so, and went to
the hank on the nert day wiih unquestionable
proofs ol his identity. Hut
the officers then refused to pay hint,
saying that the United States govern- I
ment had attached the money of the
Georgetown Hank, lot confiscation.
Mr. Kisley could got no satisfaetion :
at that time, and when he could conveniently
do so, he sued the hank lor
dishonoring the check, claiming the <
amount, with interest and damages.
It seem] from the admissions in
court that the depositsot the South 1
Carolina bank were libelled iu the 1
interim In-tween the presentation <>t i
the cheek on the 4th ot January, M

oil'to t lu* United States dist rieL attorney,
ami had the money libelled, ami [:
as iie did not see lit to intervene as a ?
claimant, the government took a de- j <
lanli, and the money was divided in !:
moieties, fees ami percentages, the n
government getting only ol the I
whole sum confiscated. j
It is admitted now that, sinee dis- |
loyal t y cannot be predicated ol a hank- j i
iiiLr corporation, the conliseaiion oi the '
money was illegal and Voidable. I <
.Judge Van Yorsl, liou evi r, rules m
against Mr. Kisloy on anothei point, i
dismissing his complaint on the <
ground thj?t a bank is not liable on an j I
oral promise to pay made by its otli- L
eers. The case will now go to the ?
general term. <
The Silver Circulation. I
- <
The accidental omission of a line in '
some recent observations ol ours on
lionan/.a Mining made it wrong in an ;
important particular, and we will now '
set tlie error right.
The present transitional stage ol '
silver productions is an inopportune J
period to restore a silver Iraetiotial
circulation, not because the use ol . 1
silver tor that purpose is not desirable. ' (
but only because it is impossible to "
establish accurately at present the permanent
relative worth of Silver as
compared with gold. II" silver is going
to fall in value to filly cents on the
dollar, as it may, under the process of
demonetization now going on, it it extenned
to India and other Asiatic
countries, we ought not to buy thirty
or forty millions at eighty-live or ninety
cents on the dollar, the price the
Government has been paying for its
present stock on hand; and we ought
not to choke our channels ol fractional
circulation with any such debased!
currency as we shall have by going on
with the emission of silver at its exist- '
ing price.
11 our ntescnt silver oneaiter is soon '
to be won h only u York shilling, wh?n ('
measured by gold, we ought to k< i*j> v
ourselves in a position to increase iIn *
intrinsic value hy adding more metal, ,l
without subjecting the Treasury to ;l
sciious and unnecessary loss. Of 1
course, if silver continues to fall, ol
which there is every prospect, all na- '
tioiiH will soon be under the necessity (
ot reconstructing their coinage on a 0
new teisis as respects the relat ive worth
of the two metals. lojis imppossihle
to proceed with our coinage ol silver
on an arhitray assumption of its value,
which may soon differ immensely from
its real value. It will, lor instance, he n
preposterous to go on calling a coined \
silver dollar a real dollar, alter it shall Ij
contain only fifty cents' worth of silver, v
This debasement, or anything like it, a
is what at this moment the Treasury I li
ought particularly to avoid. f;
The Treasury has already got its v
lingers severely hurucd hy silver pur- t
chases made to replace the fractional : v
paper circulation,ami it should beware J a
of going any further in that direction, i ?
What it has already done is had g
enough, and inexcusable enough from t
any economic or financial point of I
view; but to travel further in the same 'i
road, in the present state of the silver f
market, would he without any justili a
nation whilcvcr. There is nothing a
left but to a wait the progress of events, v
which must soon denote the ultimate h
shape weich this interesting problem I
is likely to assume. t
It is a great pity that the regular s
issue ol the fractional paper currency s
was ever disturbed. It ought to have a
been left to follow in the wake of the t
greenbacks in which alone it was made s
redeemable.?N. Y. /Sun. o

golden age el '.In republic, to which ho
many sighing imaginations revert,
(mm the e.oriuption of litis age of
brass and iron upon which we have
fallen, there was some warmth of parly
feeling ami expression. When
I'aine came to New >t ork he stopped
at the old City Hotel, ot. llroalway,

Law ami Justice,
A somewhat remarkable case lias
I just been derided in Kngi .nd by
Chief Justice Coleridge and two of
j his associates. A man bought a lirstclass
ticket Irom London to Scarborough,
and on the back ol it thes*
words were printed: "Lss ied according
to the company's regulations
and to the conditions in the timetables
of the respective companies
over whose lines this ticket ;s available."
Hut the train did not si art at
the time announced; and tailed to
make it 1 advertised count ctioiis. The
passenger lost tin! train lie w toted to
meet at Leeds, and finding i c would
have to wait three hours toi another,
procured a special train t > hi- dts'inalion,
which lie reach <i an ie-MC ami
a quarter alter the l nne In v, ,(s binHe
paid for tlie train and ih.-n sued
the company for the ex m expciM.*.
The county court d-t ided ihattbo
company must, pay i >r tl.e -penal
train, ami now on appeal tho high
court of justice has pa,tinned this
decision. This joint ?tvi*i?II that a
railway company is bound to carry
passengers according to it- timet a
Ides, and is responsible to them tor
losses sustained by all nnnoc ssary delays.
This decision, rendi red by the
[ most eminent judge on the English
bench, will have grout weight in this
country us well as in England, and
I will form an important precedent.
