DILATORY'State Legislatures may learn a lesson in driving business from the assembled wisdom in the Lower House of the Iowa law-makers. Tliat body on Saturday adopted a joint resolution memorializing Congress ior a grant of land to aid in building a railroad from O'Brien county to some point on the Missouri river also, for a postal telegraph also, for a removal of the National Capital also," for aid to the Wisconsin and. Fox river Improvement.

InuEPENBENT journalism is a good thing. When we shall see a perfectly.in- ." dependent paper, we shall regard it with profound reverence:. But we doubt tli^ propriety of a professed State organ of a pirty devoting a large portion of its space to denunciation of the leading men and measures of that party. And .there is slight tinge of ingratitude in such acour.se _,) when the "organ" is in the enjoyment of very liberal party patronage. If the proprietors of ail "organ" desire to ti the independent tack, let them sail their ship under her true colors, and not draw from the public purse, as the organ of the «•. parly controlling that purse, the means lo keep up their attacks on t|ie! niengor measures of the party. This is comtnon sense and tommon honesty..

THE Republican papers of I'ennsylva nia think that the President has fittingly i-ecognized the claims of that State in nominating Hon. William M. Strong to the position on the Supreme bench of the Cuited States made vacant by the death of the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, whose nomination and confirmation were designed as an acknowledgment to Penn sylvania. Judge Strong will bring to the Supreme Court the ripe experience of many yeais of practice at the bar, in ad dition to the long term which he spent in the highest court of Pennsylvania, where •*liis decisions and opinions were noted for their ability, clearness of conception and expression, and soundness of judgment

•f&i

He is deservedly popular, nol only with the bar, but. with the people of the State at large, and his confirmation by the Sensite will be heartily indorsed bv all classes ot citizens.

ONE of the many expensive luxuries that England enjovs is the retention of Ireland as a part of the Kingdom. She maintains a constabulary there almost equal in numbers to the eonihined aetivr military force of the United States, and in addition to this, there jue now quartered in Ireland over twenty-one thousand regular troops. The expense of maintaining these great bodies of constabulary and military is e.hietly consequent upon England's injustice to Ireland in a single matter—that of tenant-right. At least that is the escuso which Ireland now makes for her discontent and lawlessness. -Having this provocation, her (eople are making targets of landlords with a fre quency and correctness of aim that must be rather unpleasant to the owners of estates. One result of it is that the landlords prefer to reside in England, leaving' their acres at the disposal of agents. If anything short of actual* freedom from

English control would ever quiet Ireland, it would seem that England's poli" cy would consist in any reasonable concession but there" is no evidence, in the conduct of Ireland in the past, to show that she would be any more peaceable even if tenant-rights were granted.:, 5§T

A Busy Season.

AVe cannot refrain from recording even now our firm conviction that the coming year will be the busiest and most prosperous ever known to the American people and instead of being at all discouraged by a very general expression of the opposite view which comes to us from many sources, we feel that this is oue of the reasons why we should take the ground which we now take, and which, we believe, there will be no difficulty in establishing.

a national point of view, there

seems lo be no chance to doubt this Issue. We are to-day further from the war, and we feel less of its expenditures and drawhacks, than we could have expected in twenty years from the date of the amnesty The reaction which it was only natural to anticipate from false and inflated prosjierity which was so delusive during the actual leim term of the civil war, lias not_ been anything like sofetiveie as we believed.^ Instead of the guerilla warefare which it was predicted would infect the boulhein states for many jeais, vclind there peace and order. Instead of the continued unproductiveness of sou tlieni teintoiy which waa dreaded, we find that the.south has just had the largest cotton crop, in proportion to the ground cultivated, that it ever had and in addition thereto there arc splendid crops of grain which the south never before thought of.. New enterprise has been in fused' into the country and people they are building railroads and opening new channels ot communication and trade the hysleni ol great farms is giving way to cooperation in cro[s or the parcelling of the land which cannot but lead to greater energy and more plentiful results and, to-day, the scene of the war itself is being transformed into a rich harvest field that turns its fruitfulncss to the account cf national prosperity.

From a political point of view, the prospect is not any the less brilliant. Not more than Two years ago, the very thought of our national debt bore down upon us with a weight which we 'found,it impossible lo throw ofi. Now, it has been practically demonstrated that we may, if so disposed, pay ofl the national indebtedness in twenty years, and we begin to think that a national debt is not so great a national evil, after all. But better than this is the facl that the headway made upon the country's indebtedness has relieved us of the necessity of exorbitant taxation. The demonstration that the debt can be so speedily and easily discharged has increased the credit of the nation in such a way that the obligation can be readily funded-at a much lower rate of interest" and this .knowledge has led to a popular movement in favor of the reduction of taxation, which will not be resisted, and which will take a heavy load from the commercial and manufacturing interest of the country. Confident that our resources will pay the debt soon enough without any oppressive restriction of individual progress and prosperity, we shall find the production the manufacture and the interchange of commodities easier, more plentiful and buoyant than ever before.

From a business jtoint of view, the out look is quite as encouraging. This can be partially comprehended from a com parative statement of the business disas ters of the last few years. The tota number of business failures in the United States in 18G!) wai 2,71)!), against 2,008 in 1868, and the aggregate liabilities were $75,054,000, against $08,77-1,000 the pre vious year. In 1867 there weie 2,780, failures, with $00,0(50,000 liabilities, the largest number since 1804, during which year there were 6,993, with liabilities aggregating $297,210,0(30, which sum was exceeded by 1857 with 4,932 failures, and liabilities aggregating $291,750,000. It will thus be seen that, in proportion to the amount of business transacted, there were less failures in the aggregate during the year 1809 than any other year. And to properly appreciate the significance of this fact, it must also be remembered that there was never an epoch in our history when business men and interests were so hampered by taxation and restriction fears and lethargy, 'as during the very year just passed. For the year 1P70, then when we may confidently expect the removal of many of these pernicious infTu ences, there can scarcely be any other re suit than that of decided improvement .The movement, too, of the great grain crop which 1869 yielded us will be one of the prime levers of our business success during, the year. The lime of crisis past now. The hardest and most trying portion of the winter on rich and poor, employers and employed, is over without any serious'effects, and the spring trade must open with a push and a prosperity that will continue throughout, the vcar Chiri(/o

'j |to Legal-Tender Decision. From the Chicago Republican.] Tlio Supreme Court of the United Stales has decided that the LegalTender act is nnconstituttonal, so farasit impairs the obligations of contracts. The case of Hepburn r«. (jlriswold, in which the decision is given, came up on appeal from Kentucky and was .argued for the last time at tho-Jecember term, 1868, by Mr Evarts and MivCurtis. The subject fn controversy was a note made before Feb 25, 1862, payable in "dollars." Legallenders notes wore offered in payment and rcfuoxtd. The Kentucky Hupreme Court held that "dollars'' meant com dollars, the only dollars known to the makors of the contract. The Supreme Court ol the IJuifed Slates, three judges of the eight disputing, aflirm the judgment below.

The decision of Chief Juslicc Chase, jn which Justices- Cliflord, Cirier, Nelson, and Field concur, is -now. the law of the land, to which all must do homage, "the very least as feeling its caro, the greatest as not exempted from its power." The decision confines itself to the case before the Court, holding only that the LegalTender act does notchangc the nature of contracts entered into betore its passage. Of the effect, upon contracts made subsequent to Feb. 25, 1802, the dateofits passage, or upon contracts hereafter to

made, the decision is silent. The dissenting opinion leaves the record, and gives an obiter dictum

that the act is 111

everv respect constitutional* The argument, ol the Chief Justice is very simple. However disloyal it may have been to doubt the constitutionality of this measure at the time of its passage, the Court docs not now hesitate to impugn its validity in relation to pre-existing contracts. Mr. Chase, as Chief Justice, condemns the measure of which Mr. Chase, the politician, was the father. The argument in favor of the act has been, concisely staled, that Congress has the power to borrow money, and as an incident to this power Congress may determine the means for its exercise, subject to two limitations first, that the means should be appropriate and conducive to this end second, that these means should not be expressly prohibited by the Constitution, nor by any just deduction or inference fronrits provisions.' The Court holds that ti te Legal-tender apt, as to pre-existing contracts, comes within this second limitation, that it is invalid, in that it is inconsistent with the spirit, if not with the letter, of the Constitution, No one denies that there is no express power in the Constitution which mighl give .validity lo this act. ...Many, doubt, and the Supreme Court has decided, that there is no implied power to accomplish" this. "Among the great cardinal pur poses of the Constitution," the Chief Jus tice tells us, "no one is more conspicuous or more venerable than the establishment of justice." What was intended by justice in the minds of the people who framed it, the Court believes there can be no doubt. It is quite clear to many that they supposed they had prohibited them by reserving lo the Slates the control of all private contracts, and at the sante time prohibiting the States from issuing paper legal-tenders. But this is not the ground of the decision. One of these fun damental principles was that '"no State shall pass any laws impairing the obliga tion of contracts. True the prohibition does not apply ip express terms to the General Government, but it deolared that "a law, not made in pursuance of an ex press power, which necessarily, and in its direct operations, impairs the obligation of contracts, is inconsistent with thespirit of the.Constitution. Another provision expressly relating to the National Gov1 eminent, kindred in spirit, ordains that "private property shall not be taken for public use without compensation which, together with the provision that "no per son shall bp deprived of life, liberty, or properly, without duo process of law" are hcld4lo operate directly and in res traint of the legislative power conferred by the Constitution. Since a very large proportion of the property of civilized men exisls in the form of contracts, the consideration. of which, prior lo the Legal-Tender act, was gold or silver do! Iars, it is considered that the act operates as a direct and inevitable deprivation of property "without due process of law." A dollar is not seventy-live ccnts, aiid a japer legal-tender promise fopayadolar cannot be called a.dollar, except by means of a legalized fraud. The Court says lhat "it is difficult to coneeivc what act would take private property without piocess of law, if such act would not," and concludes that such a legal-tender in payment of debts previously'contracted is not such a mean* as Is calculated to carry into effect atij' express power vested in Congress that, it i.s inconsistent with the pirit of the '(institution, and is accordugly prohibited by the Constitution. But whatever argument may have led to this decision, it is the supreme law of the land, from which there is no appeal. The dissenting: opiuion represents doubtless, the views of a very considerable portion of community, its chief argument is the alleged-stringent and imperative necessity oft he act as a war measure. The arument. i.-r too broad aijd unsatisfactory. ,'nder a similar plea any measure considered necessary bv 'ongres-s for the safety tmight be made valid, would li.tvo no rightssufferance.

It is to be presumed, reasoning from the same principles as those upon which the dicismon if made, that all contracts made since., Feb. .25, 18C2, and prior to Feb.-7,18^0, ^the date of the decision, will be payablp in green backs, those being the only "dollars" kn'own, in fact, to the*contracting parties. Thin,, however, is a matter of inference^ although it is improbable that a different decision would f»e rendered.^ It would seem that a third efiect of this decision, by implication, at least, will be to make all contracts made after Feb. 7,1870, calling for "dollars," payable, principal and interest, in gold dollars, except currency is mentioned, and that'the interregnum of legalized fraud from Feb. 25, 1862, to Feb. 7,1870, ceased on the latter date. If this position is correct, current} conti^cU must be paid in gold, unless greenbacks are specified. In any event, it will be prudent for all hereafter to know whether they are making contracts for. gold or greenbacks, which they may-do by specifying the kind of monoy in writing.
