, THE EAGLE. OFFICIAL PAPIR OF THE COUNTY. DECATIR, FRIDAY, FEB. 19, 1869. ~~ Supreme Court Decision. The Supreme Court has pronounced the following opinion in regard to coin contracts. “The inquiry concerning the le gal import of the words ‘dollars payable in gold and silver coin, lawful money of the United States,’ may be answered without much difficulty. Every such dollar is a piece of gold or silver, certified to be of a certain weight and purity, by the form and impress given to it at the mint; and any number of such dollars is the number of grains of standard gold or silver in one dollar multiplied by a given number. The payment of money is the delivery by one to another of the amount dne. A contract to pay a certain number of dollars in gold and silver coins is therefore, in legal import., nothing less than an agreement to deliver a certain weight of standard gold, to be as certained by a count of coins, each of which is certified to contain a definite proportion of that weight, j It is not distinguished, as in this, j in principle, from a contract to deliver an equal weight of bullion of ‘ equal fineness. It is distinguishable in circumstances only by the fact that the sufficiency of the amount to be tendered in payment must be ascertained, in the case of ■ bullion, by assay and the scales, j while in the case of coin, it may j he ascertained by count. We cannot suppose that it was intended , by the provisions of the currency | acts to enforce satisfaction of any , description, equivalent only in ' nominal amount to the real value . of the bullion in the coin dollars. ; Our conclusion, therefore, upon this point of the case, is that the point under consideration was, in legal import, precisely what it was in the understanding of the parties j —a valid obligation, to be satisfied by a tender of actual payment, ac- ' cording to its terms, and not ,by | an offer of mere nominal pay-| inent.” Congressional Items. Wvsiiin’gton, Feb. 16.—The'' senate committee on foreign re- ; lations to day decided to report i 1 in favor of the ratification of the J San Juan, or northwestern bound- i ary, treaty, recently negotiated ’' with Great Britain, by Minister i I Johnson ; and on Thursday next, : will take up and decide the Ala bama claims treaty. The committee are almost unanimously op- i posed to its ratification. ' i The memorial of the Chicago , board of trade, asking for legislation in favor of open market sales ; gold, was laid before the finance i committee of both hous.es of con ‘ i gress to-day. . i ] The senate had quite a long ! 1 discussion, to day, the bill grant-I < ing Mrs. Lincolon a pension of ; $5,000 a year. Mr. Morton ad- i vocates it very earnestly; but no vote was reached, It is very like- i ly to pass with a reduced sum. Gen. Grant’s speech, on Saturday, has stirred up certain republican senators, and a decided effort will be made in the senate, tomorrow. to take up the house bill to repeal the civil tenure law.— ' The vote, as matters now look, will be close. The ways and means committee decided to day, and to night re- 1 ported to the house, an amendment to the tax bill, to furnish free starts for tobacco on hand. ‘ thereby relieving the trade from the unjust operation of the law of J ulv last. The senate, to day, passed the ' following important house bill, j without debate or amendment, and it now goes to the president for 1 his approval: Be it enacted, etc... That no ns tional banking association shall hereafter offer or receive. United States notes, or national bank notes, as security for any loan of money; or for a consideration, shall agree to withhold the same • from use*, or shall offer or receive the custody or promise of custody of inch notes as security, or consideration for the loan of money; nn<Tany national bank offending against the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor; and upon conviction in any United States court, having jurisdiction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding 81,000, and bv a farther sum equal to onethird of the money so loaned ; and the president and cashier of said bhnk which shall make such loan, shall* be liable for a further sum equal to one-fourth of the monev so loaned. The prosecution and conviction shall be under the act of June 31, 1864. The constitutional aoffrage a menduient is vibrating between both houses tn charge of a com toittee of confereno. The senate substitute was voted down in the house Monday. The difficulty In the way of Its passage seemed to bethat a portion of the members thought the bill enfranchised all

State Educational System, • Mr. Hughes introduced into the Senate, yesterday, a proposi- = tion that looks to the reorganiza- . tion of the educational system of = the State, and it is of ao compre- _ hensive a character as to demand serious consideration. The bill in question virtually makes the ’ State University the center —the a head in fact, of the ayatem, and all the other institutions that receive aid from the State tributary 3 to it. The idea of the bill, as we understand it, is to make the State ’ University—a University not only , in name but in fact, in which all i the branches of learning and , t science shall be taught, including , law and theology. So far as the i University is concerned, the bill ■ contains provisions for increasing i and securing the endowment, ap- . propriating hereafter 825,000 annually in addition to the appropri- * . ations that have been heretofore made for its support, and pledgthe faith of the State that the aid thus appropriated shall never be withdrawn without consent of the j trustees and faculty of insti tution. j The bill contains other provisions for the immediate benefit of | the State Univsrsity. It proposes ■ ,to endow a law school and law li- , ’ brary therein, by appropriating thereto any net revenue that may arise from the State prisons, or either of them, and in addition to provide free tuition in said Uni 2 1 ' versity. The object of the bill, so I far as the University is concerned :is to make it the leading educa- ! tional institution in the State for! I all the higher branches, furnishing • 1 to it, by the liberality of the State j ' such additional facilities that will I I draw to it all who wish to obtain , the most thorough and liberal ed- ' ucation. The bill also provides for estab ' lishing and endowing in this city a medical department of the said University, appropriating $5,000 for the contingent expenses con- ' nected therewith. In connection there is a provision tor the sale or lease of square No. 25, in Indian apolis, known as the University Square, empowering the city to purchase it, and providing for the investment of management (fori, said medical department,) of the j proceeds thereof, and also for the I•' government of said medical de- j partment. The establishment of' this department of the University 1 is the inducement held out to In- < dianapolis to vote for the bill, and ! the disposition of the University . Square, so as to make it available ! for educational purposes in some 1 way, will make it acceptible to all 1 not immediately interested in the city or preserving the square for J a public park. The bill also gobbles up the ' Normal School at Terre Haute, I places it under the care and keep- ( ing of the mother institution. To 1 make the bill acceptible to the peo- ' pie of that city and commend it to the favor of the educational inter- 1 ests of Hie State generally, it pro < poses to appropriate $75,000 for ’ the 'completion of the building and 1 preparing it for occupancy. This ' arrangement would make the Nor- 1 mal School subsidiary to the State < University—a kind of preparato- I rv department, in addition to 1 what has been its primary, if not:* solo object—the education of; 1 teachers. The bill likewise provides forp the location of the Agricultural', College at the’Tippecanoe Battle 1 i Ground, settling that contested , question by accepting the propsi- ■ tion of the Commissioners of Tippecanoe county and others, and , making the college a department', of the State University and ofj| course tributary’ to it. Thp bill , ' is sufficiently comprehensive not , only to locate the Agricultural I ' College, but to provide for or- ; ganization and management. In ! accepting the bill Tippecanoe , j county would gain its point by ob-1 taining all the immediate benefits ' of the college, while the State University is dignified by making it a ‘ 'department of that institution,: with the care and responsibility of its supervision. This omnibus educational bill seems well calculated to satisfy and harmonize many conflicting interests. If the bill should become a law, with its present provisions, another step will probably l>e taken in the future, and that is to give the State University the charge or administration of the State common school system, dis-' pensing with the Superintendent ; of Public Instruction, which, in i many respects, is an useless office but affording a grand opportunity j I for a sharp, scheming, man to put , money in his purse out of its indirect emoluments, to a very con- j siderable extent Except in a I speculative way there is but little kj duty, if any, in ths office of Su-1 perintendeut of Public Instruction that could not be just as well ' i discharged, if not better, by other < ffices, without cost to the school • fund or the State Treasury. • I As we remarked in the begin- I i ning, the bill offered by Judge > Hughes is of considerable, and it i may be of material importance to 1 tbe educational interest of the State, and hence it should have tbe

careful consideration ofrall inter- > ested In the diffusion of knowl- - edge, not only in the facilities as- - forded through the common f schools, but in the endowment of - an institution with ample provi--1 sions for teaching the highest 1 branches of learning and science. ) —Sentinel. * ————r - pt - Indiana Items. ’ There are three flowing salt ’ wells in Crawford county, supply- ’ ing water enough to make two ’ hundred barrels of salt every 12 hours.

New Albany is ecstatically happy over three tape worms, fiftynine, sixty and eighty feet long.— The last was taken from a boy two years old, and required twelve hours to remove it. A Terre Haute minister proposed, a few days since, to a member of his church, that if the latter would present him with a velocipede, and he did not master it in a week's time, he would pay for it himself. How is that for a mild way of betting. A. W. Hunnington, of Hancock county, hitherto a respectable citizen, left his wife and five children destitute, the other day. pretending to go “to a better land of rest.” He was last heard of in Indianapolis. He owed 85,000, and took SSOO with him. The young ladies of Dover, in Wayne county’ have joined a society, pledging themselves not to revcive t(ie attentions of any young man who uses’liquor, tobacco, or indulges in profane language.— Unless the young men of Dover are different from those of other towns, the girls of that village will have frequent occasion to sing—“l’m lonely to-night, lore, without you.” Warsaw is intensely excited o ver a horrible case of poisoning the particulars of which are as follows : Nearlv a year apo a man named Jno.
