A decision was rendered by the supreme court of the United States this afternoon in the long pending legal tender casb of Juillinrd vs. Greontnan. The court holds the legal tender act of March. ! ! , 1878 , ia valid and constitutional , and treasury notes issued under it are gord and a legal tender in payment of all debts. The opinion is by Justice Gray. Justice Field , in a long and carefully prepared opinion , dissents from the judgment ot the court and from all arguments advanced in its support. "If there bo anything , " ho aays , "in the history of the constitution which can bo established with a moral , certainly it is that that instrument intended to prohib it the issue of legal. tender notes both by the general government and the states , the argument presented by the court and by advocates of legal tender amounts to this : The ob ject of borrowing is to raise funds. The annexing of the quality of legal tender to notes 6f the government will induce par ties to take them , and funds will there by bo more readily loaned , but the same thing may bo said of annexing any other provision which would give the holders of notes the same advantage , as ior in stance a provision that no tea of the govern ment should servo as a free ticket on the public conveyances of the country or give free ingress to places of amusement or entitle ere to a percentage from the revenue of private corporations. The same consequence and ready accep tance of notes would follow and yet no ono would pretend that annexation pro visions of this kind with the respect to the property of others over which the borrower has no contra ! would bo in any sense an appropriate measure to the execution cution of power to borrow. There is no invasion by the government of the rights of a third party which may not thus bo sanctioned under the pretence that its allowance will lead to a ready acceptance of the ( jovernment's notes and produce the desired loan. In conclusion Justice Field says : "From the decision of the court I BOO only evil likely to follow. If congress has power to make the notes of the United States legal tender and make thorn pass as money it may bo asked what necessity was there to invest it by the constitution with power to borrow money ? If it can make money why borrow it ? If the notes of the United States with a legal tender quality are money or the equiva- lont'of money why should congress not at once issue a ufiiciont amount to pay all tlw bonds of the United States. Why pay interest on a thousand millions of bonds when it can in ono day make the money to pay them ? It would not , in deed , surprise mo if there would bo a call from the money quarters on the gov ernment to issue such notes for bonds. Who can object to it if the doctrine de clared by the court is sound ? And why should there be any restraint upon an un limited appropriation by the government for all imaginary schemes of public im provement if the printing preaa can fur nish all the money that is needed for them ! " 0 U'llK WVK I'EIl CENT LAND PASES. A decision waa rendered by the su preme court in what are generally known as the 5 per cent land cases , viz : the state of Iowa and state of Illinois against Noah McFarland , commissioner general of the land office. These were petitions for writs of mandamus to compel the commissioner general to make a state ment of the account between the United States and the states of Iowa and Illinois for the purpose of obtaining what sums are duo said states under the aota provid ing for their admission to the union , which authorized payment to them of E per cent of the net proceeds of public lands lying within their territories which should bo sold by congress. The ques tion presented by the cases ia whether 01 not public 'lands located by military county land warrants came within the scope of the acts above mentioned. Thai is whether such lands are "lands sold by congress. " The court holds thai "under the act of March 3 , 1840 , relat ing to the admission of the state of low : into the union or the act of April 18 1818 , for admission of the state of I Hi nois into the union , by which 4 per cent of the net proceeds of lands lying withii : the state and afterward sold by congress is roaervod and appropriated for thi benefit of the state , the state ia not en titled to a percentage on the value of tht lands disposed of by congress in satisfac lion of military land warrants. Tin writs of mandamus prayed for , therefore are refused , and the petitions dismissed. ' The opinion ia by Justice Gray , Justice Miller and Field dissenting. The amoun of land located with military bounty lam warrants under the various acts in nine teen noutfiern and western states up t June 'JO , 1882 , was 03,322,000 acres , th largest amounts being in Iowa , Illinois Missouri , Wisconsin and Minnesota. A KUKLUX DECISION. A dcciiion was also rendered in whc is known as the Kuklux cases. They ai petitions for writs of habeas corpus to ro < lease n number of persons now impris oned under the judgment of the United States circuit court of the northern dis trict of Georgia , rendered after trial and conviction of the prisoners for the oll'enso of threatening , hooting and otherwise jntimidating colored voters at an election in Georgia for member of congress. The principal question presented relates to the constitutionality of the law under which the prisoners are hold. Justice Miller , speaking tor the court , decided thnt the otfenso sot forth in the indictment is fully covered by the revised statutes The rule to show cause in this case is discharged and habeas corpus denied. I'osTAi MAiir.ns. The following postoflicos have boon assigned to the presidential or third class and the salaries of the postmasters fixed at the amounts stated : North Bond , Nob. , 81,000 ; Weeping Water , Nob. , $1,100. POWER 01' COURTS OVr.ll RAILROADS. Decision was also rendered in the case of the Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fo against the Denver it Now Orleans rail way company on an appeal from the cir cuit court of the United States , district of Colorado. This court holds 'that the constitutional right in Colorado to con nect railroad with railroad does not itself imply connecting business with buoincs' . Courts cannot compel ono railway to do business with another according to a scheme which they ( the courts ) may do- vise. The question relating to thoao two railroads so far as through business , through tickets , interchange , etc. , is con cerned is legislative rather than judicial and that upon existing facts the court in chancery can afford no remedy. The d"crco of the district court is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to dismiss the bill without prejudice. The house committee on appropria tions have agreed to report adversely joint resolutions making appropriations for tlio relief of sullbrcrs from high water along the lower Mississippi. i -KiailTH CoNGKESS. SENATE. WASHINGTON , March 3. Mr. Vest ( dem. , Mo. ) presented a memorial from the president and members of the terri torial council of Now Mexico , complain ing of the arbitrary assumption by the clerk of that territory of power to desig nate members elected to the territorial legislature , thus depriving the house of such legislature of its right to judge of the election and qualifications of its mom- bora.

Mr. Randall said claims could bo paid in three months. An intimation had crept into the public notice that persons having claims by employment of agents at 5 per cent commission could got precedence in the consideration of their claims. Ho would say to the house and to cla < mants that there was no occasion whatever for claimants to go to any expense to secure payment of their money. If they em ployed agents after this statement they would do so of their own volition. Mr. Washburno ( rop. Minn. ) offered a preamble and resolution reciting that a petition had boon presented to the speaker concerning the Jeannette Arctic expedition on the conduct of the serving members and the manner of the investi gation by the national court of inquiry.

Adopted. Too petition referred to by Mr. Wash- burn is .that of Dr. T. Collins , brother of J. J. Collins , of the Jeannette expedi tion. Ha sots forth in detail the alleged harsh treatment of his brother and others by Commander DeLong. It charges that Lieutenant Melville after reaching the point made no effort to obtain informa tion regarding the other two parties or survivors ; that had ho done BO and com municated at once with the Russian au thorities all of the party except Erickson could have been saved ; that the naval court of inquiry into the lies of the , i Jeannette refused to admit oi allow to bo given valuable testimony , ruling out nearly every ques tion that would have brought out tlu true history of the expedition ; that manj witnesses feared persecution by tbo navj department ; that the official stenographs stated in writing that important tosti niony was suppressed and the proceed ings wove calculated to cover up thi facts. at Mr , Calkins ( re | ) .

Mr. Browne ( rop. , Ind. ) opposed the bill on the ground that it would pension men who never aaw n living or dead Mnxican merely because their names were on the muster roll of that war. It would pension men who did not need a pension. Ho was willing to pension those who engaged in any battle of this war or were on the imistor rolls sixty days and now needed a pension.

Prontias Teller , the money clerk of the Pacific express company huro , whoso father is ) a Louisville - villo detective , disappeared about ito'clock yesterday afternoon , taking ( with him ono or two valises full of money pack- arcs , the total amount being very near $75,000. It is the custom of , the com pany to keep the money clerk ] and day watchman on duty in the office on Sunday , the _ door being se cured by chain locks and no ono being admitted except the messengers , who arrive on the morning trains and have money packagoi to turn over. Yos- tcrday afternoon Teller was on duty , and the watchman remained in the back room tending to the door , the front doors buing kept locked. About 2 ojolock the watchman wont to lunch , leaving throe mc songors sitting by thu stovo. While ho was gone Teller wont out and returned with a stranger whom the messengers supposed a now clerk or messenger. Teller and the stranger woni into the front of the oflico and were thought no more of. An hour later Teller came into the back ollico to woah his hands , and re marked to the watchman , who had re turned , that ho believed ho would go out to got some lunch Wiping his hands ho ro-ontored the front oflico , .and was not soon again. Half an hour aftorwarda the watchman walked into the front.offico to got something , and was surprised to find the front door unlocked , and Teller ab sent. Ho spoke of it to the messengers who were sitting by the atovo in the roar. They told him of the stranger. This alarmed him. When everything was ready the front door was unlocked and Toiler wont to the roar room , ostensibly to wnah his hands , but really to learn the position of the watchman and messongora , and find ing them favorable to a safe exit of his confederate , ho gave the signal to go. Shortly afterwards the watchman wont to the front ollico , and finding the door unlocked and Teller not projent , ho tola- phoned Mr. Butler ; also Mr. Puller , general manager of the company , and they came to the oflico at onco. Wliilo it was evident that a robbery.had been c mraitted , they could not ge dnto the safe to ascertain what was missing , ns Teller had taken oil' the keys , and it not till after midnight that the aafo was opened and considerably later before in formation of the matter was given out. The police were promptly notitiod , how ever , and telegrams sent to the con ductors of all trains leaving , giving a de scription of Tellor. It was learned this morning that Teller brought to the oflico Saturday afternoon a largo leather valise , which ho put in the basement. It could not bo found to-day , and from this fact it is believed that preparations for the robbery were made Saturday. A visit to his room , at 1122 Olive street , to-day disclosed a number of unused money envelopes. lUGr.Butlor , agent of the companyBays there can bo no doubt that the man brought to the oflico by Teller was a con federate , and that ho and Teller took ul the packages in the safe and examinee them , selected such as they desired ant auch as were the easiest to dispose of. Several envelopes were found which hac boon cut at ono end , but as they contained od chocks they were not taken , and other packages containing silver were also loft. Ho thinks however , there must have boon nearly a bushel of packages taken There probably was a third-confederate on the outside as the weight of the pack ages , many of which contained gold coin was too heavy to have been easily ant quickly handled by two persons. Tollo and pal must have worked over an hou in preparing their plunder , during wind time the watchman entered the front office fico in which they were engaged two o three times but it was easy for the con federate to hide himself behind the clos boarded part of the messengers' pens in which they did their work. Butler thinks Teller lias been robbing the company for some timo. Teller is a young man 25 years old , was formerly with the i'aciflo company two years and had the entire confidence of his employers , ho being a steady , quiet man , attentive to business , Ho is described as 25 years old , brown moustache and hair , pimply face , unob trusive features , alight build , weight abut 135 pounds , neat dress and quiet manners His confederate is entirely un known , the express people not haying the slightest conjecture as to who ho is , The company has offered a reward of § 7,000 for th arrest of the man and recovery of the money , and if a capture is made the prosecution will bo to the full extend of the law. n THAN A 1IKUTB.
