The Court, says "thu judgment, of~ii Iheistrict C.ourt was err'oneous in boing reondored for gold and silver coin of cho United St es. The obje'ct ion to paving the tax, if a subject or'suit, as it, is stated in this case, is a debt and falls within the Act of Congress of Feubruary 25th, '1802, making the Treasury notes issued ni pursuanee of it a legal tender in pay-. meats of debts. The judgmnent was in direct coniliet with the Act., a. in re quirmig the ppiyment of' coin, it-denied the rightof pay mont in legalised paper curroncy." It will be observed that the debt in tis case wvas contracted after the-pas sage of the Act, and this deoision, there. fore, may be regarded as a definite judgment on theo part of the Supreme Court that the Act coistitutional, -and that U ted States Treasury Notes are i n good legal tender in payment of all debts contragted since its possage. -'What their decision will be it a case arisinig as to-contracts inade beforo 1802, it is, of course, impossible to predict, It ees o showover, tateAt iight well be regarded as ant expost fjhdo lawv, in its application to pre-exist lng contracts.

This, however. need cause no anxiety ; for, oven should her supply of coal l exhausted, she, cotld easily sa il under canvas, and, unless met off the cou9t by some severo storm, may be looked for at aity hour at Fortress Monroo. The secret of this approbeision, hew over, has yet to be toll. It is desigit. od to have the trial of Surratt play an important part inl the impeachment business; and lu this way : Some leading Radical lawyor (probably Mr. Bingham, of Ohilo; who fgured in tho proseoution of tho other alleged con spirators,) is to be retained to assist inl the prosecution of Surratt, who will avail himself of this opportunity to rehash all the horriblo circumstancs connected with the death of the late - laitnonted Lincoln. This, it is belicv ed, will revive the Intonse popular fooling which prevailed at the tiie, and by a series of well-turned inneit does arouse a projudiceo against his suc cessor, and on the strength of both the impeachment matter will be pushed through the House at once.

But for the' selfish, factious and mercenary course of that paity; the Union would never have been broken, and I it for that faction it could be rei tored in a day. The Radical part-y alono stands in the way of such a consuninat ion. The loaders of the party are oppos-d to a Union of all the States. With quch a union they would be in minority. A minority Congress could not then rule the majority, threaten thle President, and bully and insult the Supreme Court. The election of a Presidentr would then be partieipatod in by all the States, and the Rtadical candidate would he defeated by an ovorwhelm ing majority.
