IMPORTANT DKCISION HY THE U.S
SUPREME COURT.
We surrender a large part of oar flrat page
this week to aa important opinion of the Su
nreme Coart of the United States. From
this opinion ii appear that where notes glv
en prior to the passage of the legal tender act.
Were, In express terms, made payable in gold
ami silver eoiu. they cannot bo discharged by
a tender of legal tender notes. The
tutionality of the legal tender act. not being
necessarily involved iu the case, we not de
cided. ,
If the opinion should not prove to
general interest to a large number or our rea
ders we trust they will pardon as in eonsid
oration of the large lumber of subscribers
which we have among the bench and the bar
and remember that It 1 our doty to serve nil
classes of our readers as far as we nay be
tie to do so. But w Imagine thai this
pinion will be found intecusUug to all as a
history of coinage in this country.
IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE SU
PRKMK COURT OF NORTH CARO
UNA. M .
The, SaprawM Court of the State has de
cided that the stay law Is unconstitutional
and, therefore void Mr. Justice Reade de
livering the opinion. That the Court has d
cided correctly in this ease we have no doubt
the dissenting of Judge Rodman to the con
trary notwithstanding. But while the de
cision rendered in the ease presented has
doubtless been according to law, the opinion
as delivered, containing the reasons which
influenced the Court in arriving at lis con
elusion, seems to as to be liable, at a judicial
opinion, to sever criticism. The reason for
such decisions, it seems to us, should ever be
based upon the law governing the case, and
not upon the practical workings of the
Assembly, the Constitutionality of which may
be questioned. Would it not have been suffi
cient, attershowing that the stay law "impair
ed the obligation of contracts." to have shown
that such laws by the States were prohibited
by the Constitution of the U. States, which
the Judges of the Court were sworn to ob
serve 1 We think it would. But an argu
ment la made that the existence of such a
law Aw eight years has been productive of no
good to the people of the State that "the
attempted interference in favor of on class
against the other has held out false, not to
say unjust hopes, and has prevented tbe
private adjustments which would have been
made." This may all be true, and if so
would haw been a good reason for the re
peal of tbe stay law by the legislature, even
If its constitutionality had not been question
ed, but certainly not to base a judicial decis
ion upon.
This, is not the only reason given by the
Coart, independent of the law, to justify its
opinion to the public It has traveled out of
tbe teeord to intimate if not to express an
opinion Ujoa the question of the Constitu
tionalityof the Homestead provision of the
State constitution. And none ean read the
epimen without conc luding that the court has
determined, whenever a ease shall arise, to
sustain the eowwitutiouality of the Home
stead, both in its application to new, and old
dbts A Homestead having been provided
for w7. as the court more than intimates is
case. "Avery man," it conclude, -will be
aaved from oppression' even without a stay
law for their protection.
Tbe validity of a retrospective homestead
may ultimately be sustained by the Federal
Judiciary we are not going to recapitulate
our oft expressed opinion to the contrary
but certainly that august tribunal Will not
be governed by the reasons which seem to
have influenced our Supreme coart. The
Supreme court or the United States will
scarcely allow that the provisions of a 8tate
constitution have any validity where they
eoaliet with the Federal Constitution, nor
that Congress I the body which snatched
ease from the hands of the coart to prevent
a decision upon the constitutionality of one
of iU own acta is "the guardian of the
United States Constitution," any more than
the othef departments the government. Nor
I it to be supposed that it Will be driven from
the law even by "an enlightened public sen
timent which U founded upon justice."
In the case just decided, the court
seems to nave blended the functions
of the iudfrnaiv with those of
tore and to have endeavored t j decide and
legislate the law into such a shape as, in
it opinion, would be most beneficial to
the people of State It has labored in
its argument to show that such will be the
i fleet of iu action, and sueh may really
be the case. The people will generally
acquteae la the decision and good may re
sult from it we cannot tell. But there arc
eases, where debts have been contracted
ince the war, where injustice must ensue
nu less the debtor are governed by a very
high sense of hour. For oar part we are
willing to do what a friend of ours said
he would do if the people would elect
him to an office -"submit-acquiese."
We may possibly publish the opinion
next week. , uX
SUFFRAGE.
A Radical contemporary speaking of tb
fifteenth, or suffrage, amendment to the Con
stitutes says i
-It f.llowed most faithfully iu the foot
steps of the patriot fathers whoa memorable
maxim Me there mseldee uo
tholtofem-l
VNk the fundamental nrin-
f Ipte upon which the foundation of tbe Re
public was laid."
The fathers did. indeed, lay it down as a
maxim that taxation and represeuUtion
should go together, but, w Imagine, they
did not intend thereby to flavor nniversal suf
frage. ' Indeed when we consider the circum
stances under which they uttered it, and the
application they made of it to the British
Government, wear dri van to the conclusion
that they did not mean to be so understood.
We believe that almost every one would new
b willing to settle the question upon that
maxim liberally construed that toxation and
representation should be reciprocal. They
would be willing to allow tbe elective fran
chise to all male i i tiiens who pay their tax
es, provided it waa withheld from all abb
bodied men who refuse to pay their taxes.
This ie be a mir Im of tbe Ian-
gauge of tbe father and embodies tbe sound
principle.

tion, while the way I ope and the mind of
the people Inclined towards it. Let it
forward. Cheraw Democrat.
W are as ignorant as our Cheraw con
temporary on this subject we have scarcely
heard it mentioned for a month peat., We
were not even apprised of the fact before that
the company had been organised. We hope
our people will soon wake up to the import
ance of the enterprise. . im .
We think that the road will be built soon
er or later. Trade, though it may be tempo
rarily diverted to other channels, Win, at
last, seek its natural highways. The first
rail road ever projected iu North Carolina
was a road from Salisbury to Charleston.
Between the Utter city and Augusta had just
then been completed the first railroad in the
United States. For many years the mar
ch anU of Salisbury had been in the babit of
waggoning their goods from Charleston, and
it was natural that a road to connect the two
points should have been thus early projected
But, owing to various causes, the road then
projected was never built. On was the idea,
growing out of the State sovereignty views
of that day, that great North Carolina port
should be built up and that our schemes .'of
Internal Improvement should all be projected
with that end in view. A counter project of
a road to Fayetteville for the purpose of build
ing up the port at Wilmington was agitated.
But a road in that direction would have had
to cross many of tbe largest streams in tbe
State and eoold only have been built at a
v y expense, wbilo the mfmul road, to
Cheraw whle u we have said, will ultimately
be built, run parallel with the Yadkin and
Pee Dee River and wiU only have to cross
some insignificant streams which low into
them. The advantage- of such a route must
be apparent to all.
There U already a road from Charleston
to Cheraw and when this road is built the
idea of the projector of the first road 1
North Carolina will be carried out. And
when the W. X C. road is finally completed
so as to connect with the railroad system of
the Great West a tremendous trade must be
concentrated at Salisbury and Charleston, and
our sister town of Cheraw must also reap
great advantage from it. Charleston will
then be nearer to the Great West than Nw
York now is. We shall take occasion soon
to recur to this subject.
THE CHATHAM R. R. BONDS.
The injunction granted by Judge Watte
some time since, restraining the Treasurer
from issuing the Chatham R. R. Bonds, bus
been confirmed and mad perpetual by tbe
Supreme Court.
This decision carries with it about 913,-
000,000 of the recent appropriations, and
will diminish the debt of the State to that
amount. The appropriations made for the
W. N. C. R. R.. the W. C. 6c R. R. R., and
the N. W. N. C. II. R . are not affected by
this decision, a those road had been char
tend at the time the new Constitution wsa
ratified.
EARTHQUAKES AND TUG GULF

A friend informed u of a curious feet
the other day, which wa think of inter-
erest enough to make public, aa we hare
aeon no mention of it elsewhere.
Since the late earthquakes in Califor
nia, the Pilot on the coast testify that the
Gulf Stream is twenty mile nearer the
North Carolina coast than before, and that
it is forty mile further from the Florida
coaat. . .. ,. . . -

North Carolina the weather ha been un
usually pleasant and mild, in Florida it
has been unusually bad and cold freez
ing orange and killing tb tree, an oc
currence that never happened before
within the memory of man.
And another subject for pleasant con
templation is the belief on the part of
some scientinc men that in this State we
will never again experience long cold

very little bad weather of any sort.

THE CULTIVATION OF HOPS IN
WESTERN JCAOUN.
Mr. Editor: In the present depressed
condition of the people of the South, es
pecially those engaged in agricultural pur-
utu, it might not pa unprohUnle lor
them to cast about for some pew product,
for the climate and soil being adapted.
might prove more highly remunerative,
than any thing they can now produce.
Although cotton U now bearing a good
price, and many are about engaging in
its culture,' yet there is no guarantee that
it will continue to maintain tbe present
price after the next crop ia made ; for, if
tne seasons are propitious, tne crop win
be the largest ever made. This fact alone
will be calculated to depress I be price.
Havinr met a aentleman in Baltimore.
a few week sinee, from one of tb North
western States, he informed me that he
wa then and there, selling lot of Hop.
the joint property of himself and a few
neighbors Ha waa intelligent and cora-
unicat i vc, and spoke of tbe mode of cul
tivating them the prices tbe present
and probable future demand, and the prof
it, &c.from all which there can ha no
reasonable doubt that the Hop would he
well worth the attention of those engaged
in agricultural pursuits.
The fact that the labor required iu the
cultivation of, and preparing the Hops for
market, is of a Very light kind, and can
bo easily done by women and children, is
a strong inducement for a trial ; for aftet
the crop is set, they may do nearly all
tbe remaining part of tbe work.
Tbe Mop is a native plant ; tbe root be
ing perennial ; it may be seen in this
spring sending up numerous annual flexi
ble stems, which twine around neighbor
ing tree, and often climb to a great
height. V-i
The subject I one of much interest, and
surely bme of our numerous intelligent
farmer might take tbe initiative on a sub
ject which may lead to valuable results.
