The Legislature, Is still in session, with a vast amount of iitfiish&d usioess yet before it, and no.wonder,(r a lazier set of raps the world never saw. *bout three hours a day-la scemingly dvoed to work-the rest to special egjoynents. The constitutional structure, said to be a pAk from hla*a ehusetts, one froin Ohio, several from Vermont, with one broad beam fron Africa, isr snug naeqite. lThe last broad beam Is thO strongest,pland of of), The Iron Clad Otth. A bill Is now before the House com. mittee on reconstructlon, providing for the appointment of Postmnsters in such places where nobody will swear .the iron plad or tist oath. The bill was intro duced by Mr. Norris, and it provides, that it must be clearly showi to the Postmaster General, that "no person can be procured to act as Postnaster for sich oMce," and as thei are manny phices where no one can be f6und with the proper requisite, that is a stonitch of cast iron, copper fastened and bound, and capable of holding this detestable oath, the Post Offlec is in no little qu1anl. dary about it. In this emergency the department applies to Coigress, and -. Norris flies to the relief. The remedy is ahnost as bad as the disease, and to give relief an amount of swearing is to be done, ithich is positively shoekiig to tile morat.iiy of this nineteenth century. All the inhabitais of each and every place so circuistanced, are to be asked to swoar the "ibomiitiion" and take the Post Ofiee. Upon refusal, another onthl will he r(quired thtt nome can or will swear the iron-clad, aid all thesd onths ame to be preserved onl flle by the United States. Then the Posintaster is allowed and required to appoint sono loyal per. son to oaid oflice. The New Yoj k Eve. ning Post, suggests that a repet of (lie talh would solve all the difmiculty sit once, and hnd Mr. Norris introduced ii bill to that effect instead of the other thing so full of oaths, he would have been looking to the country's good, Gel Contracts. The Supreme Court of the United States in its recenit decision, as to the walidity of contracts made payabile ini ,gtids, has been received with tmuch satis ,faction ,tisroughout the country. The fol low.imng,is the sentse uf the opinion dle Jirered' by Chief Justice : -"In thme absence of any specille con r tract for the panymentt of coin, legal temder' notes may be a suliceient temnder, hut it Is clear to thes Court t.hat exprless com. tracts for te paymtemnt of coimed dollars. ~cmn only' be saitisliedi by the pamtienmt of toimned dollars. TIhey am o not udetbts whie' mlay be sihfied by the temnder of Treas ry notes." The New Yomrk Evenimng Post, the great ad toente of free tradeu and hard nmney, regards this decisioni as of thme htighest importance. it Is maore sweeping 'thanm an act of Comngress nmking gold con tracts legal, beenuse it sustnimas sueh com tracts whether alheady' umati or to be made, while such an act coul only take effect, upon those hereafter mtade, it opemns the way for every moan who will, ,to tasmiact his owna butsiness on a real ~stanidard ot value, instead of fluctuating currency.
