been in favor of the principle of the sec
tion and he had voted for it at the last
session, but since the re sent decision of
the Supreme Court on the question he
had been led seriously to doubt the pe- ,
cessitv of passing it now. According to
that decision contracts in gold were legal.
What more was required? Another de
cision. not an act of Congress. He saw
no 'reason why .Congress should inter- ,
vene in'order to glie - an additional Hanes'
tion to contracts in gold. On the contra
ry, he saw difficulties in the way. It was
embarrassing questions which had not
been open v iinder the decision of the i Sm,

the conclusien it was better to rely on
that decision as all sufficient. ,
Mr. SHERMAN opposed the amend
ment. The first and second sections
were harmonious. He had examined',
the decision of the Supreme Court. The
Point decided was simply that a contract'
payable in min, made before the pastage
of the Legal Tender act, could be en- ,
forced. He was in favor of the section
because it would , act as a guard against:
usury, j r n restrictitur its , - operations to i

proval, showing that no nominations
could have been made which would have

sensions which bid fair to arise between
General Grant and the extreme radical'
Republicans. .Everybody is pleased.

take, in justice to the public interest and
myself. , If convenient and agreeable to
you, I would be glad to have you ,name
my successor, at as early a moment as
you deem practicable, and vou will
please consider this my resignation,
to take effect as soon as my successor is
qualified and ready to enter on the
discharge of the duties of the office.
I need not add here, Mr. President; b,pw
gratefully I appreciate the distinguished
honor you have conferred upon me by
inviting me to become one of your Con
stitutional advisers. Had circumstances
permitted it, I should have been pleased
to have been associated with you offi
cially, and to have aided you, as far as
in my power, in carrying out your views
in the administration of the government

ment, tixmomy, public faith and equal .
