Tko New L*l Tender Decision
by a Pucktnl Supreme Court
Oue of the {irtlatl nffroata and outiwgva
ever pervctrated agminal the |it>p!e ut
the United State* waa c >numated yester
day, in the la*l-tender deciaioa f a t-avk
rd niajoriiiy to ur highml judicial tribu
nal. We n.'l dwell on its tendency
Iu undm>iue respect for judicial decision,
•Ithaugh it is a scandalous spectacle to
see the tame court, promulgating diaiuet
rieally opposite opinions on the arlf-tau:#
question, within the short period of three
year*. The esaauce of lliis great scandal
Is that this it no true decisktu of the Su
preme louit, hut the decision of I'lytsea
S. Grant, dictated by hiui when he parked
the court fur the very purjtoec of over-rul
ing a fornirr decision of that tribunal on
the tame question. It it the most flagrant
instance? even in our recent history, of
striking at the very roots of justice and un
dermining thv great cardinal | riisciplee of
of the Constitution. Kay, it subverts the
fundamental principle* of all free govern
ment The separation t f the judicial frern
the executive department*, has always
been regarded as the chief bulwark of En
glish as well as of American treedoa. In
England it was extorted from the crown af
ter king struggles , but in this country we
poaeiaed it frcm the Lcginning, and kept it
until it was taken from u* by President
Grant- Thk ignorant man disliked the de
vision on the legal-tender question render
ed two or three years age, and determined
to peek the Supreme Court with judges on
whom he could rely to reverse it This
was the tide reason for hit appointing Jus
tice* String and Bradiry, thus reinforcing
the minority of the court and creating a wh.-se
wh.-se decision would coincide
with his views. Thia virtual usurpation of
the judicial power by the President, mak
ing the decieioni of Uie Supreme Court n
matter of personal will and executive dic
tation instead of the solemn judgements of
a body of independent judges learned in
the law, is all tho more dangrrous I *cauo
it is perpetrated within the forme of the
Constitution. General Grant is the Su
prenin Court. He has so packed it with
subservient parti.-sn judge* that he is able
to decide all legal question* in which be
feels a personal or party interest.
Judge Strong, one of Grant's appoin
tees, delivered the opinion, and Judge
Bradley, his other appointee, supported it
by a separate opinion, thus bringing the re
sults of General Grant's packing into bold
expo-ure. Judge Strong's argument is a
tissue of chicaning sophistry which affront*
ju-tice and common honesty, a* well a* the
Constitution. He derive* the authority U
make Treasury notes a legal tender from
the war power. This pretence was tersely
exploded iu advance, so far as it applies to
the present case, by Mr. Clarktoa N. Pot
ter in his very able argument before tbe
court Mr. Potter's nest exposure of the
fallacy is worth inserting here:
TLa constitutions! power o( Cong re* is
always tbe same. Whatever j. *.•: to
rase, to burn, to impress, or to destroy it,
it has because these powers.are appropriate,
and plainly adapted to the exercise of the
authority expressly delegated to it to make
war.. That the gurrrnmrnt can only use if*
powert is this respect in fins* of war it be
came it is only as a means of exercising the
power of making tear that it has authority
to use them at all. Nevertheless, the pow
er ot Congress to make war remains always
the same. If the power to issue Treasury
notes, and male them a tender far pre-exist
ing debts, was a necessary and proper
means of executing the power to make war,
and that power alone, then indeed the right
ta exercise that means would hare begun
when the war began, and ceased when Iks
war ceased.
General Grant's packed majority not on
ly falls into unsound logic and bad law,
but insults ths public conscience by at
tempting to obliterate ths sternal distinc
tion between right and wrong. According
to this decision, it is just for a man who
borrowed a hundred dollars to discharge
the debt by making a tender of the value
of thirty dollars. There is no such thing
as intrinsic justice, no distinction In lbs na
ture of things between right and wrong,
tbe only rule being whatever Congrats de
dans to b right is right, however revolt
ing to tbe moral sense of mankind. If
Congress may legalise tbe pay inent of thir
ty dolls rs to discharge a debt of a hundred
it may equally legalise the payment of one
dollar, or even of a nickel cent, to dis
charge the sainedubt. Kvery healthy con
science unhesitatingly decides (bat such
a doctrine abolishes all just moral distinc
tions, annuls promises, destroys the obli
gation of contracts, and makes the dictates
ui immutable justice the sport of legisla
tive caprice and packed tribunal. A la*
boring )nap who just before tbe passage of
the Legal-tender 0,l deposited a hundred
gold dollars in a savings hank, and wa>
paid two years afterwards in paper worth
only thirty-seven dollars, was not cheated
or robbed, according t" General Grant's
packed ( < ort. hut received hack a just
equivalent for fiis de|>n*it. It requires
n*thing but an act of Congress and llir de
cision of a packed tribunal, to transform
rascality and robbery, the violation of
contracts and defrauding of creditors, into
public virtue* There could not be a more
melancholy proof of the unsettling of the
foundations of morality than the promul
gation of mis scoundrelly doctrine in the
faee of the community by what was untie a
tribunal of justice. A community Is
frightfully demoralized in which such a de
cision can be received without provoking
indignant remonstrance and scorn. —Mu*

done iu reversing it* uun decision iu
the Legal Tender case.
When the Court was composed ol
eight mi-tubers, it decided by Ave to
three voice* that the I,< gal Tinder act
of 1862 was null and void so far n it
related to pre feeding contract*. This
decision was in the iun-rot of hon
esty aud integrity. It was a rebuke to
foul play, and efevated the standard
'of public morals before the world.
I bis Court lia siuce bent racoiuti
luted by ail increase of its irembers to
uiue, two of wlioni aro fre*h troui the
bar, where the paid counsel of great
rail mad corporations whose interests
were aud are adverse to the former
decision. Jtv the aid of these two at
' loruevs upon {hp bench, the vote in
1 the Court a pow constituted stands
five to four fr the reversal of the
j former decision.
"The decision of courts," said Lord
; Chatham on a memorable occasion,
| "is not law ,it is only au evidence of
the law." in the present case wf
must regaul it ar pretty pour evMeppc
too. JI is citnply tcstiuiouf of lawyer* \
who were committed to t|iir judg
ment under the stimulus of au cudeav- j
or to hud nu interpretation which
should favor the interest* of powtr
ful client*. The decision is nil attor
ney'* opinion fnthcr than a coiulu*
ion of an impartial bt-ppb of judge*.
The argument, too, as presented by-
Mr. Justice Strong, is rut her that of
an attorney than that of a judge.
What shall we say, for example, to
these words taken from it ?
"Jf noyr the decision of the ourt
"establishes tlmt these obligations

oyc,.
Washington, January 15,—The
President has gone into the theatrical
business. He is ex officio partner
lof Mr. William E. Kpaulding, the
| proprietor of the National Theatre iu
the City of Washington. It was a fi
nancial necessity which * induced the
l'i< sident to enter into this uew com
pact. The Presidential demand for
private boxes at the National Thca
Ire is large, estieeially in view of the
fact that the President's military fam
ily is so numerous, lie seldom at
tends it tbeatrienl porlorinunce or the
opera unless lie it accompanied by
two or three members of bis own fami
ly, General Porter and wife, (inner
al Hrtlicockand family, if notuuejurtwo
of the lfeota. Mr. S|muldiiig, who is
always desirous to Is*- polite, found
licit |Hiliteuess to nub a family as
(irauis's did not pay at all time*,
ticiicrul lialteock, who is an iuvctilive
genius, hit ii|hiii a p'an of o|H-ralioiis
about eight moiilbs ago by which the
"D. II." pass would cover llie Presi
dential family. First, it will be re
jueutbered that (ieutral Babcock, af

Canal, was detailed by the regular
at my to be Commissioner of Public
Itiiiidiugs in the District of Colum
bia, to the in* el important offices in
tlm District of Columbia. Out pecu
liarity ii| it is that the Commissioner,
wet oidii.g to pi act ice, stands very
near to tlie occii|uiil of the Kxcutive
Mansion, always consults the lady of
the While House with reference to
ail the nriungi mu.ls surrounding it,
wbuUVir lelales to the buildings or
the grounds, and in tact to the cam*

It would almost seem a strange thing
