Mr. Spinner's remarks arc t good, and it is to be hoped his morals arc better, ns he sets himself up as a censor of tho?e of other people, who have had a great deal less to do in making this ' depreciated currency 'which be s abhors himself, and who arc compelled to use it in their business operations.

T the Ed' lor f tie Chronicle : Will you do me the favor to publish tin letter. iVoni ctio of the sounacst and most intellii-'cnt Jcdiocrats I have ever seen in congress, upon the subject of the currency? I publish it without asking the writer 3 leave, because I believe such wholesome teachings to be necessary to the moment. Your?, Tiiaddeus Stevens. Kvansmlle, Ind., Xov. 15, 1 SOT. YlY Dear 'ir I have just finished reailiti in the Cincinnati Commercial with care, attention and preat pleasure, yo.4 it ply to your neighbor, Guyer, in reference to the payment in 'e;.Jal tenders" of the principal of the five-tweuty bonds, and am very glad to find that our opinions on that subject perfectly coincide. I voted lor the bill with a perfect understanding that, as the bill was silent on the subject of the payment of gold for the principal, that it was to be paid in government cur rency ; while as to the interest of these bonds, it was specially provided that gold should be paid : and I have alwavs regreted, as I have told you frequently, that I voted for it at all, believing as I do that no such distinction should be made, and that all bonds of the government should be paid, principal and interest, in the curren cy of the government, winch they hau declared should be a ''legal tender" for all debts, public or private, except in those cases the ten-forties where express provision was made for the payment in gold, both lor principal and interest. 1 recollect very well, in a conversation with you, you told me ''it was a singular anomaly that, in a government like ours, emphatically a government of the peo ple, our brave and gallant fellows who had lost an arm or a leg, or perhaps both, in the service, or the widows and orphans of those who fed battling frr their couutry, should be paid iu treasun notes, when the bankers and million urcs ot .Lurope, who had no sympathy' for our cause, but who had invested in our bonds at probably eighty cents to the dollar, should be aid in gold. And you were right. I do not believe the folly of those who urging the argumeut of "repudiation" in case the bonds are not paid in gold, will have strength enough at the close of the next congress to carry them over the ons HS.norum. lou may re.y on it, the 'Great West," irrespective of parties, are solidly against paying gold on the princi pal of these bonds, and it will be with great reluctance and misgiving that they will pay the interest in gold; and I will further say, that the party, whatever it may be, which iudorses such a policy in the presidential election next fall, will be so far beaten that their own dogs will not know them wheu they eoiuc from the polls. 1 am sincerely glad to learn that your ; health is so far restored as to enable you tc attend the comiii'' congress, lou will, uc doubt, have matters of deep interest on which to consider. My earnest desire is that all may tend to the union, harmony and best interests of tho republic. Very truly aud sincerely yours, JOHN LAW. The Radical Can Wc Trust XI if A brief review of their past history will fulU' answer this question. As thoy ha"2 kept their faith in former days, so ma) wc expect of them in the future. It is a notorious fact that before the war the constitution was au abomination in their eyes, (darriscn pronounced it "a league with hell" and " a covenint with death." Wendell Phillips said he " had labored nineteen years to take nineteen state out of the union." Hanks said, " Let it slide." Greeley advised hi.s readers to " Tear down the flaunting lie," &c. The State Journal the Cincinnati Uazettc, tthe Ohio State Journal, and hundreds ot the leading radical papers and politicians, patted the rebels on tho back and told them to "go ahead." The democracy were derisively called ''Union-savers" with the same venom and malignity that they are now termed "copperheads." When secession was imminent and the democracy .suggested that an amendment be made that would settle tho vexed slavery question, then the radicals become sticklers for tho constitution and contended that its amendment was unnecessary and its observance was all that was requirod. "It was comprehensive enough to meet every exigency for all time." This "league with hell" was then their idol and "not one jot or tittle" should be changed. They were hardly warm iu their official scats whep the commenced violating and amending it, until the)' have rent it to tattcrs ahd trampled it under foot, until now tho best test of loyalty, is the boldness of its violations. They have abolished slavery, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, arrested without warratit, iniprisoicd without trial, punished without convictiou, divided a sovereign state without her consent, murdered, robbed and destroyed with as much complacency and as little .scruple is a Xcw-Zelaudcr would cat a fat missionary. What assurance have we that the radicals will be any more strict, in the observance of their pledges in the future than in the past? Can wc make any calculation of their intentions from their professions ? Suppose they ammend the constitution to suit the people, can we hope that they will be any more chary about violating the amendments than the original article. Do their actious give any evidence of moral reform, to phow that they will be any more trustworthy in the future than the past? The l:t?e elections give the full and emphatic answer of the people to all those queries.

."Volliln- lias Ilapppzirt!. So say the n-publicans ovcryt!iin? is 0 inr alona'l right. Some years ago a fanner living iu a little village bordering on Dcts count v, furnished one of his throe sor.s -with a sum of monc, and tol l him to go wot and remain two years, at the end of which time ne snouiu return to jancas:er, stop a: rrcii - fields, and one of them would be there to ' 1 meet them. The voung man started on his travels, and at the cud of the specified time he returned. It should he premised that telgraphs were not then in existence, the postal system was not so perfect as it is to day, and library attainments were not so general hence no communication took place between the parties. He returned, however, as we said. His brother w;i3 there to meet him. and the)' both proceeded homeward in a buggy. The wanderer, after relating some of his adventures, inquired whether anything had happened since he left home. "V, ..:..i ii.: ..:.i i.. i . -ii'i a suigiu innig, wie uiaui , " everything is just the same as when 3-ou left except that the old crow died. " "Indeed," said the wanderer, " and is the old crow dead ? What killed him ? " " Why, he ate too much meat when the matched horses died." "Good gracious! are the matched horses dead? What killed them ? " 44 WI13-, 3-ou see, when the house and barn burned, they overdid thcmsel.-es hauling water." " Good gracious ! the house and barn burned down ! how did it happen ? " " Well, you see, when daddy died, they carried lights about and were careless." 44 Good gracious ! is daddy dead ? What was the matter with him? " " Well, you see, Tvhcn our Suse ran awav and got married against daddy's wishes, he just pined away and died." 44 Good gracious ! so nothing has happened since I've been away ? " " No, everything is just the same." There's the philosophy of radicalism for 3-ou since tiie fall elections. Nothing has happened. . -O- . Ca Equality i:i Street Railroad Cars. Last week the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rendered a decision in a case involving the question of the right of a uegro to force himself into railroad cars appropriated tj and occupied by white people. The case was that ot a negro woman who took a scat in one of tho cars of the Philadelphia ami Westchester Railway, set apart lot white people. Upon being requested by the conductor to take a seat in the cars allotted to negroes she refused, and wis then removed by the egroes she refused, and w is then removed by the Conductor. She brought Suit for da masien last week, cveiIag tho judgement oi the court below. The opinion of tho court was delivered by Judge Agao.v, concurred in by Chief Justice Woo Iwar l. Judges Thompson ami Strong; Judge lice iced dissented. As the matter is of! ... . .. i some practical interest iiere us woil as in ti i .i i ii Pennsylvania we give tho conclusion of thecourt: ' It is clear, therefore, that, under the lonstitution and laws, tho while and black constitution and laws, tho while and black races stand iu a ko pa rate relation to each among themselves, occupy separate places ot public worship and amusement, and fill no civil or political stations, not even sitting to decide their own causes. In fact there is not an institution of the state iu which they have mingled indiscriminately with the whites. Even the commmou school law provides lor separate schools wheu their numbers are adequate. In the military service also, they were not intermixed with white soldiers, but were separated into companies and regiments of color, and this not by way of disparagement, but from motives of wisdom and prudence, to avoid the antagonisms of variant and umnixable races. Law and custom having sanctioned a .separation of races, it is not the province of the judiciary to legislate it away. We cannot say there was any difference in fact, wheu the law and the voice of the people had said there was. The law of the states arc f jund iu its constitution, statutes, institutions arc irencral customs. It is to those source that judges must resort to discover thctu. If they abandon these guides they pronounce their owu opinions, not tho laws ol those whoso oiacers they are. Following these guides, we aro compelled to declare that at the time of the alleged injury there was that natural, legal and customary difference between tho white and black races iu this state which made their separation as passengers iu a public conveyance the subject of sound regulation, to secure order, promote comfort, preserve tho peace, aud maintain the rights both of carriers aud passengers. The defendants were therefore entitled to an allimative answer to the point recited at the beginning of this opinion. It should bo added that in March last the legislature of Pennsylvania passed an act, declaring it an olfense for railway companies to make any distinction between passengers on accouut of race or color. The facts, however, iu the ease decided by tho court, arose before the passage of this act, and the decision pronounces the law aa it utood when tho case arose. We presume there arc no persons, outside of tho iicgro suffrage und iitgro equality party, who have any desire to change that "separate relation" in whic.i the white and black races stand to each other. Arbitrary laws, like the prohibitory legislation of Massachusetts, may seek to obliterate the lines which define that separate relation.

Hardly a notable man in Boston or ."id miles about, hut was there, and wo doubt if in London itself, Mr. Dickens ever rea l before such aa assemblage. Dickens is an artist iu all he doe, and seldom have I seen a more finished piece of work than this whole reading. oo careful is he of every poiut, that nothiai shall go amiss, that he has brought with him from England all the appointments by which he is surrounded, when he reads at home. At tho back of the platform is stretched a long screen covered with dark red cloth red at least it looked by gaslight, though Fields told me it was purple and in frout of it stands a table wfch square legs covered with rich crimson vel vet the ton, al o, covered with the same. hanging over the edge, and bordered with a heavy fringe. At one side of this table projects a little shell, also covered with velvet, on which are a water-bottle ani j glass anl at the left hand corner is square block about eight inches high that also covered, top and fides, with velvet, like the rest. On thii block the reader rests his hook, and uses it, beside, as an accessory in his by-play. Now it is Boh Cratchite's desk in Scrogg's office. Now it is Mr. Fizziwig's desk, from which he looks benignautly down on his apprentices. Now it is the desk on which rests the Christmas gooso of the Cratchite family. A very useful little velvet box Mr. Dickens makes it, I assure you, and the audience gets to look upon it as quite a delightful piece of furniture. Mr. Picteus If not quite as rigid in bis punctuality as dear Fanny Kemble used to be, who began like a beautiful fate, the minute the clock struck 8, no matter whether people had come or not, aud treated the laggards to bewitching frowns as they crept belated up the aisles. Dut at last he comes. lie enters, holding the book in both hand ; co nes up tho .steps with a quick, springing walk, and standing at his velvet desk, proceeds to work, like a man of business. He is dressed with perfect neatness and simplicity, but a trace of the old foppery the autumn's llower of all the youthful dandyism is seen in his button hole in tho sdiupo of a white carnation, ami a pink roso bud on his shirt front. There is nothing more pretending than a plain gold stud. He has, t) be sure, considerable watch-chain, and oa his linger a diamond ring but nothing is noticeable in his uress. He stands there a quiet gentleman, plain Charles Dickens, and thnt name is grace and ornament enough. For a Boston audience, his reception is remarkably enthusiastic. Seldom does

Ho leaves cut a good deal, changes words, mistakes words sometimes, and really much of it seems iuwromtit. I thought, now and then," that ho was thinking of his present audience, and putting in what he fancied would suit better here than in London, His delivery has marked peculiarities, and is thoroughly original, lie deals much iu the rising reflection at the end of sentences, is sometimes monotonous, and keeps up old pronunciations that wo seldom hear oji this side of the water: "Clark" for clerk, "wind" with a long "i," "ejus" for odiou-, are a few. But, on tho whole, his accent and pronuciatiot! arc not what we call English.
