LEGAL TEND EB TIIE SUFRE&IE COU11T DECISION. Frirm the If. Y. Time. The recent opinion of Ihe majority of the Supreme Cotirt stand In direct hostility to the uniform tenor of that groat norion of acts and measures whiou were required to de stroy the Rebellion. Singularly enough, it in the decision of an unfriendly court of a Ktate which stood on the lrlnk of disloyalty which bas been affirmed, and in effect the numerous decisions made in support of the act through out the North are reversed. Although the present Chief Justice, who Tendered the decision, was not the author of the measure which he now aids to destroy, be yet, as Secretary of the Treasury, was the strenuous advocate of its passage, without whose powerful co-operation it could not have become a law. Mr. Bpaulding, who was Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Hearts of the Douse of Representatives, and the author of the bill, expressed to Mr. Reward the embarrassment he felt from the want of support on the part of Mr. Chase, and the latter, after stating in a letter to Mr. Bpaulding that he came to it reluctantly, de clared that be had done so firmly and thoroughly. From an examination of the Congressional reports for February, 18G2, it will appear that it was owing to the ' urgency of Mr. Chase, in the form of letters, that the bill was suddenly taken from the Committee of Ways and Means and ordered to a rote, after a two hours discussion. "It is very important," he wrote, "that the bill should go through to-day, and through the (Senate this week." The situation of the Troasury required this extraordinary haste. The measure beoame a law at his solicitation; he put it into imme diate exeoution, and requested, at a later period, that the amount of legal-tender issues should be increased. It ' was through his direot instrumentality that issues were au thorized under five dollars; it was Mr. Chase who did more than any other to flood the country with them, ornamented with bis own effigy; and now, on a change of scene, he deoidos that what he then did under the solemnity of bis official oath was unconstitu tional and void. The grave circumstances of that extraor dinary time can scarcely be forgotten. The Btate banks on the plat of December, 1861, bad very generally suspended specie pay ments. At a meeting of their prinoipal managers in New York, it was announced to Mr. Chase, on the part of Mr. Gallatin, that they could take no more of the bonds of the United States; that they were only agents for plaoing publio loans, and that what they had on hand could not be disposed of, as there were no takers either here or abroad. The attitude of foreign countries at the time was generally not of a friendly character, and the issue presented to our Government was Whether, as the publio funds were wholly exhausted' and the associated banks bad declared their inability to furnish addi tional funds, we should resort to the policy of a foroed circulation or abandon the war. The letters of Mr. Chase clearly show that we had reached this point in the struggle, nd it would appear from his present views that at such a juncture Congress had no other duty but submission. If these views had then prevailed the rebellion would have been successful, probably to the extent of Imposing -its own authority over the . entire Union. The argument in favor of the constitu tionality of the Legal-tender aci lies, as it were, in a nutehelL The power to conduct war carries with it the right to employ all necessary and proper means for achieving suooess. The policy of Great Britain in making the bills of the Bank of England in effect a legal-tender during the wars with Napoleon was resorted to from dire necessity. The precious metals were being exported to the continent partly through the instrumen tality of emissaries of Napoleon, and that proud and opulent nation was compelled to set the example which we followed. It may be assumed that no nation which has per mitted an extensive resort to paper money during peace can conduct a war of great mag nitude on the basis of the preoious metals, fjuoh had been our situation as to preceding Issues of paper; and inasmuch as the war power reaohes to the height of the emer gency, there was no escape from the measure which Mr. Chase supported. This policy being a means to the end, and Congress, which is the judge of the faot, having pro nounced it to be "necessary and proper," it clearly became lawful, because not prohibited by the Constitution. In bestowing the power to raise and sup port armies, the means are not expressed, and . in raising the means the situation must be re garded. Mr. Chase, as Secretary of the Trea sury, was the best judge at the time; he urged that the legal-tender measure was necessary and proper, and he induced Con gress to unite in declaring this fact. The sole question which the court had to con sider, in view of the pressure of uniform decisions made from the origin of the Gov ernment, was therefore this, whether the measure was reasonably conduoive to the end in view, and was unprohibited. There is no pretense that it was prohibited, and it is clear, from the experience of England and of this eountry, that, as a means, it is efficacious. What would be the situation if we were obliged to-day to conduct a new war with this decision staring us in the face ? The effect of the decision, if allowed to Stand, upon the future of the eountry, if it shall unfortunately be involved in war, will constitute its worst feature. The Supreme Court of the United States strips the nation of one of its means of warfare and defense, and it should be the policy of the Govern ment to restore this essential power at the first opportunity. It was a great oversight to leave the oountry exposed to this danger, in the neglect to appoint troper judges, consti tuted as the court evidently was. There should be no mistake about the complexion f those now nominated. ' Judge Chase, of all others, was relied upon to sustain on the bench the measures resorted to in war for the common safety; but although the one in quebtion exceeded in no degree the constitu tional limits, aad was not only necessary for suooess, but accomplished all that was in tended, it would appear that some new light bad broken in upon him, leading in a differ ent direction. It is ut too lute to eorreot this misstep if, the Senate shall be willing to dismiss all thoughts of mere patronage, and, looking oarefully to the exigency, dbtdl oon sider only great publio interests. From tae decision pronounced in Feb ruary, 18Gt, it would appear that as to reoent contracts made payable in coin, judgment will be enforced epeoifioally in ooia, and that when made in dollars, generally without spe cifying the kind of currenoy, judgment will be entered for dollars without distinction. Although the latter point did not arise in the case, what fell from the Court will no doubt Generally be adopted. The contraots mvle prior to the act of February, IHC'J, now held to be payable in gold, are numerous, but their enforcement will be subject to the doubt which prevails as to the futnro construction or the Court, we repeat, therefore, main duty 1h more imperative upon the body which advises and consonts to appointments, than to be certain that this necessary power in war shall be restored to the Government, and that the Court shall be constructed on a plan which, instoad of being harmonious with Kentucky, shall disoourage personal ambition and be in strict harmony with the loyalty of the republic ' JURY DUTY. from the X Y. Journal of Commeree. It is easier to point out an existing evil than to prescribe a remedy. Jury trials in some parts of the oountry have become a dis grace to our system of jurisprudence. Most of the judges trace this faot dirootly to the unwillingness of competent men to serve in this capacity, and Mayor Hall has prepared the draft of a law exaoting obedience to this requisition from every citizen summoned to the duty, under the severest penaltios. We have not space to go over the whole ground at present, but we wish to submit a few sug gestions bearing on this theme as aids to further discussion. And first, the faroes enacted in the jury room, and especially in criminal cases, to which special reference has been made, have not been attributable to the absenoe from the list, as originally drawn, of all the intelligence and virtue that exist in the oommunity, nor to the ntter unwillingness of all this class of citizens to sit upon the trial. The judges have themselves to thank for that stupid rule of law which virtually exoludes from the box in such cases nearly every person of ordinary intelligence. To have read any full report of the crime for whioh the prisoner is to be tried, to have formed any opinion, however vague and indefinite, concerning his iunocenoe or guilt, or to have a conscience that will not allow the denial of these facts or impres sions when questioned, is to be excluded from the select twelve who are to render the verdict. Who has not seen scores of men of unusual intelligence and sound judg ment set aside, one after another, under the application of this rule, and twelve persons far below the average of the list, including some of the rarest dunces in the community, ultimately sworn in as triers of the case, simply because they knew nothing of the facts and had formed no opinion ? When gentlemen of intelligence and high character are mixed in with others in the box, it is usually because of their absence from home when the crime was committed or of their extraordinary absorption in other business while the excitement was fiercest and the topio was publicly discussed. Not until this rule of law is modified can there well be twelve intel ligent and impartial men selooted for the jury trial of an important case. Often the entire panel, including hundreds of unexceptional citizens, is exhausted before the suitable dozen can be found to match the absurd requirement. But again, and more briefly: the large list of exceptions from jury duty leaves the bur den to fall unequally upon the community. Not only firemen and militiamen who have Berved their term, but some whole profes sions, are exempt. It is all very well for lawyers, not one of whom is ever summoned as a juror, to censure other citizens for seek ing to evade this service, but how would they like it in their own case ? We think there isn't one who would not twist as many ways AS an aitivo morobank-ur oiL nukxi of . busi ness does to evade this unwelcome call; and yet, notwithstanding all that has been urged on that side, there is no sufficient reason why lawyers should be wholly excused. We long ago described the difficulty, and suggested several methods of relief. It is perfectly absurd to ask an active business man, whose time is not only money to mm, but whose constant attention to his own con cerns is absolutely necessary to his suocess, to leave his own pursuit at his own cost to settle other peoples' differences, especially when the latter, as often happens, involve a much less amount than he will lose by this call. We would allow all civil suits to be tried before a judge alone in every case where neither party demanded a jury. This would strike out the call for such service from three fourths, if not nine-tenths, of the civil cases on the calendar. There are few disputes in whioh both parties and their lawyers would not rather leave the decision to the bench than to the jury box. In the remaining cases let any party demanding a jury be compelled to give security for the payment of a sum sufficient to furnish ample remuneration to those who may be compelled to give their valuable time to the task. We would extend the same principle to criminal cases, allowing all those to go before the court without a jury who might so elect, reserving to every person charged with crime the right to a trial by his peers upon his de mand, the publio purse to pay the jurors a handsome price for the service. We would add to this the repeal of the absurd rule under which challenges for cause are now preferred, allowing, except the limited peremptory pri vilege, every man to be sworn who is not too biased to render an impartial verdict. If these reforms were efl'ected, the remaining duties would be light. We would then com pel every man of every profession to serve when summoned, unless he could show a rea sonable personal excuse, and to shut off re peaters, who might wish to earn the liberal pay provided, forbid any man from sorving of tener than once in three years. The duty would then be less irksomo, and being rea sonably compensated, the exaction would not be as oppressive as it manifestly is at present. TIIE SEMI-CENTENARY OF SUSAN. mm ths y. Y. World. It is an interesting fact that the fiftieth an niversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony will occur to-morrow, and it is matter of a still more intimate interest that the day will be celebrated by what in the parishes of New England is known as a "donation visit" at the office of the Revolution. The clock," it has been said, "marks the interval from hour to hour; but no hammer on the horologe of time peals out the change from era to era." Nevertheless, there are certain solemn and affecting landmarks in history, as in space, to arrest for moments the attention of men. The 15th of August last year was the centenary of Napoleon. The 15th of August next year will be the centenary of Sir Walter Scott. There is a felicity in the intercalation between these two famous dates of the semi-centenary of Susan B. An thony. She has something in common with both these famous men. Napoleon was the armed soldier of demooraoy. Sir Walter wrote fiction. Miss Anthony's battles have been bloodless, albeit not windless, and her sole and sufficient panoply is in the terrors of her front and the justioe of her cause. But if she has sot written professed notion, her admirers may justly claim for her that she has Idealized fact. It was the boAst of Bona parte that he could carry on war when his treasury was empty and his army devoid even of, stockings. Miss Anthony has never suffered this latter privation. The stook ings that bine, that familiar, that well worn pair have been always with her, and nave been to her party as was the white rose to the house of York and the red rose to the house of Lancaster for a badge as well as for a decoration. But she bas carried on more campaigns upon less capital than ever did Napoleon or any other oommandcr of whom reoord has been pre served. She mounted her hobby when it was, so to speak, but a wild ass' colt, crop ping grasses from the greon wildernesses of the general female mind; and she has ridden it far and fast, without rest and with infre- quent forage, until u now nas beoome a gaunt and spavined spectre, fit to frighten the souls of men. And now she pauses under the palm-trees of Twenty-third street, and in vites us to pay tribute to her persistence and to bait her beast. Breathes there the man with soul so dead that he will not deem it a sweet boon to an swer such a call? The Anti-Slavery Society, even after it seemed to be made superfluous by the abolition or slavery, required to be sustained by the substance of its friends, and 4 nr. 11 1,1 ..nnicifinnfl rtn m i n If i n , 1 fnl. i'nlilniand boiled preferred." The World brought its needs to light, and urged the publio to con. tribute of its chickens. And shall the World now be deaf to the plaint of Miss Anthony. which comes to it, so to speak, like the cry of a pelican in the wilderness and an owl that is in the desert? Never! For whereas the fowls whioh, at our instigation, were be stowed upon the Anti-Slavery Sooiety were but tne onioKens of charity, the contributions which we bespeak for the Revolution are the chickens of chivalry as wen. alios Aninony is inaeea, as the oo casion shows, herself no chicken; neither is she to be preferred in a "cold boiled" condi tion. But the advance of age upon her who was already and from her youth up venerable bj ner austere virtue is only an additional reason for liberality. And that she deserves well of her country her efforts in behalf of the sex which preponderates in it show. That sex, indeed, owes her a debt of gratitude wnicn it is to be l eared that it will never pay. She has not only wrought and written to deliver its members from the oppression of centuries, but she has discovered to them that that oppression existed. To form a party ior tne redress ot nagront grievances is an easy matter, liut tor Miss Anthony was re served a more arduous task. - It is not bo easy to foment rebellion and educe clamor from half the human race, whose grievances are not even sensible to themselves until an Anthony arises to point them out. That she has accomplished this task is her high and peculiar praise. And the unselfishness of her labors is as notable as their energy. She has waged war in behalf of her unhappy sisters against the conjugal tyranny of which she, a celibate, had never felt the yoke. Luther at tacked the celibacy of the priesthood. But Luther married a nun, and his critics would not thenceforth be persuaded that he was not therein pleading his own cause rather than the cause of abstract justice. But Miss Anthony is greater than Luther. Miss An thony attacked an abuse from which she had never suffered and from which, bo long as it shall take two to make a bargain, she can never suffer and awakened the attention of the wives of America to wrongs whioh they knew not, until she told them, that they en dured. She fought the battle of married wo men tor legal equality with the naierui race of men. when she already enjoyed that enualitv. . . "Let us, then, bring succor to Susan and forward the Revolution. Let the men of America elevate their vision beyond the nar row needs of their own gender and contribute their money. Let the women of America make haste to bring their cake, their work in worsted, their pickles, and their "cold chickens, boiled preferred." And, in short, in the language of the Laureate, Let the land whose hearths she saved from shame attest their dread commander's claim, their ever-loyal iron leaders fame, with honor, honor, honor, honor to her eternal honor to her name. HOW MUCH DELONG IS SHORT. From the A; Y. Tribune. The Hon. Charles E. Delong, of Oregon, is our new Minister Resident at the Court of Japan, at an annual salary of $7500 in gold. Knowing what we all do of the fierce scramble for such places which precedes and attends their dispensation, we are quite safe in as suming that he was not conscripted or other wise constrained to enter the diplomatic ser vice of his country. Yet Mr. Delong had hardly reached Yeddo when he wrote baok to Secretary I ish that his pay must be hand somely inoreased or untold disasters are in evitable. "It is impossible for the Amerioan Minister to have influence in Japan to com pete with the other foreign Ministers, if the position is not made one of the trt-class;' ana he is Kina enougn to explain tnat the Britihh Minister at that court is paid $20,000 per annum, beside no end of allowances. So he cannot be influential and useful unless he is puid as bountifully. We protest against this doctrine. .We never jet heard that Benjamin Franklin was over reached, outmanoeuvred, or in any manner nullified, at the Court of V ersailles, by Lord What's-his-nflme, who represented the British Kirjg there during our doubtful struggle for independence; yet the British lord's salary was very much higher than the Yankee prin ter's. If, then, Mr. Delong finds himself of no use in Japan without as much money as Great Britain pays her envoy there, is it not plain that he has mistaken his vocation, and ought to pack his trunk and take an early stenmer ior ban l rancisco t But the triplication of his salary is but one item in our Minister's deficiency bill. He "urges that a legation building, offices, etc. and a Minister's residenoe, should be erected there nt once," with a guard of twenty-five American soldiers to protect them, and a man-of-war always in port subject to the Minister's orders. Besides these, be wants a post office and jail at Yokohama, and a post office, jail, and hospital at Yeddo. No one can say that these edifices can be properly erected and furnished for loss than half a million dollars, nor that the mission could be "run" according to Mr. Delong s ideas fin. eluding the man-of-war) for less than a quar ter of a million per annum. Are we ready to pay such a sum? Might we not better resign ourselves to co snort oi ueionar Of course, our Minister is eager to be set up in the restaurant business. He says that "travellers are constantly pouring into Yeddo and Yokohama in their tours around the world." Well, let them tour, and let them feast; who objects ? - It is not pretended that they are on publio service: if they were, thev would take good care to secure their pay for it. ' Why under the sun shall the Treasury be drawn upon to feed these tramps f. If it has money to spare for feeding anybody, we in sist that our people who stay at home and make farms, build houses, openminos, con struct furnaces, and thus add to the national wealth, shall have the first lick at it, in pre ference to these wandering loafers. But our trade with Japan U large and in creasing, urges i'fciotig. o it is; and mora s the pity. The more we have of it the poorer we grow. Japan Hoods us with her teas, hor silks, her fragile, dainty wares which pensn in the using, ' and drains us nf our silver in payment, we used to root . o at this port from the 1 acmo cobki some iuty minions per annum of the precious metals; we now re ceive very little, because China and Japan cobble up the lion s snare, im tar imi, witn Its cheap labor and marvellous dexterity, is to-day "the sink of the precious metals, as it was in Fliny's time. Individuals may be enriched by this trade; but our oountry is poorer to-day than if Japan had remained hermetically sealed against us. Hence we have double aversion to Delong s little bill. It is immensely too steep, and the conside ration is of no value: "on the contrary, quite the reverse. Delong s matter is of consonnenoe as illus trating a prevalent tendency. All the rest of the horse-leecn s daughters sing the same song, it is "more nere, "more there, "more everywhere, it irst, to get into omce. if it has to be made on purpose; next, to get an increase of its emoluments, is the general aspiration. We entreat Congress to set its face like a flint against every such appeal. SECRETARY FISn'S BOLDEST USURPA TION. From the A". Y. Bun. On Tuesday last Mr. Arthur Folnom, Con sul at this city for the Provisional Govern ment of Ilayti, had an interview at Washing ton with Secretary Fish. He had been de puted by his Government to make known to the Government of the united mates the chance of government and restoration of peace in Ueyti, and to acquaint Mr. Fish of 7. . 11 V. I - f , y-i - tne aesire oi mo x roviniouai government to continue to be on friendly terms with the United States. Mr. Fish said that he was happy to reoeive the deputation, and to learn that such were tne sentiments of the uovern- ment which they represented, but he desired to be informed upon a subject on which he had received official information, relative to the fitting out of war steamers by their Gov ernment, which ho had been assured were in tended for the purpose of aiding the Cabral party in their designs against President Baez of Son Domingo, although he trusted that he bad been misinformed, as he had informed their authorities of the protectorate assumed by the United States over the Government of Tresident Baez. So ! it is not enough that Mr. Fish should, without the shadow of authority of Congress, make a lease of the Bay of Samana at $150,000 a year in gold, and pay the first year s rent in advance, but he must co on and make a secret treaty of alliance, offensive and de fensive, with the Baez Government! The Senate has very properly rtibuked Mr. Sewardls presumption in purchasing the island of St. 1 nomas without consulting them. What will they do about this usurpation of their greater prerogative by Air. lish? One thing is certain the President cannot with impunity much longer permit the mem bers of his Cabinet to trifle with the publio interests as they are doing. Forter-llobe- son's mismanagement of the Navy Depart ment is bad; w ebster-bumner-1 ish s treat ment of Cuba is worse: but this unautho rized protectorate over one of the two fac tions contending for power in St. Domingo is atrocious. Congress and the country ought to demand Mr. i'jsns resignation at once. and enforce the demand by all the means in their power. WINES AND LIQUORS. H E R Nl A J E S T Y CHAMPAGNE.
