The Legal Tender Decision, The Age, of 11th, in its financia| | article, says. Ton much has not been said, indeed | too such can not well be said in rela- tion ‘0 the attempts made to overthrow the decision of the Supreme Cut whic! affirmed that United States notes tendered in liquidation of debts con rac- | ed previous to the passage of the Legal Tender act, on the 26th of February, | 1862, did not constitute lawful pay- | ment. Never was a decision of equal | importance made which was received | with so much general favor. The de- | cision was concurred in by five out of eight judges, the remaining three dis- senting. No sooner was it pub icly announced, than a scheme was set on fat, Justice Grier, one of the majority, having resigned, holding adverse opin- ions, and by this means place the for mer majority in a minority. This pro- position naturally surprised and shock: ed the public. It mcaitnothing more nor less than a deliberate plan to pack the Supreme Court of the United States. More than this, the Senate and President were implicated, as their concurrence was necessary. It seems utterly inconceivable that any person or persons could be so lost to decency as to sound the opinions of the new Judges, in advance of their confirma- tion by the Senate. But it must be admitted that the succession of events are unfortunate, and calculated to ex cite suspicion, Whatever the means employed however, to induce the Su- BT him tickler m eter. Brudder Jones pass round de sasser, . Sale Anns We find the following sucecinet and clearly stated view of the bond question in the New Hampshire Statesand Union. It is the truth in a nut-shell : “We know a man—and there are thou- sands of just such cusses who, in 1862, had $2000 in gold. He sold it for $2400 in ereenbacks, in 1863, With those greenbacks he bou=ht $2, 300 in bonds, These bonds, of cours, cost him just SLX in gold, For seven years he has drawn six per cent, annually, also in gold, on the face of his S2,000, is $141 per annum, For the seven vears it has amounted to 81,008, or eight dollars more than he invested in the first place, reckoning only simple interest. Now the Grant-Bout well dynasty says, pay him the face of his bonds in gold, or, in other words, pay him 32.400 in gold for what cost him 31,000, years, he receives: Principal, $2,400: inter- est, 1,003; total, 3,408 in gold, tor what cost him only 1,00). 1tis a net profit of more than M0 per cent. Is that justice? Is it Yi 9% ‘ight ? No now, at the end of seven Below we furnish a specimen of the radi- cial method of running the ship of state : The following messarze fron Governor Geary to the Legislature, will explain it- self: To the Senate und House of Represeta- tives: The House Bill No. 721, ontitled a further supplement to an act to mcorporate, the city of Philadelphia, relative to the col- Joetion of taxes was received by me on the 24 inst, and on the same day approved at the earnest solicitation of several members of the City Coun ils and members of the reme Court to reverse its decision, we brie think they can succeed. The court will not stultify itself, and its practice has always been to regard its own decision as fina). Moreover, it has never been the practice of new Judges to reverse the decisions of their predecessors, even though those deci sions conflicted with their own views In any case, the reversal of the dew sion would be most disastrous to the very persons more directly interested. As the New York Economist well ob serves: “Ifthe Supreme Court can be litically rigged and gerrymandered in the interest of any political or finan cial clique, the process may be end lessly repeated. If it stultifies itself by maintaining that Cougress, after all, has authority to change the validity of preexisting contracts, and decrce the payment of debts in an infurior ewrrency, the most serious consequuce s may ensue. If Congress may take from 20 to 40 per cent. from the val- ue of all debts contracted before t!e 20th of February, 1862, there is no reasor why it cannot take any amount it pleases from all debts contracted af: ter that period. The Supreme Court decision which provokes so much dis- cussion, simply provides that all con- tracts shall be executed in the spirit in which they were made. If there is a bargain express or implied, for pay- ment 1m coin, leather, paper, grain or any commodity, there is no power in all this land to change it. That is just and fair. But reverse this and there is no security against an act by this or any other Congress providing for the payment of all debts, National as well as private, in a medium worth anything over a mill on the doilar. It is manifestly to the interest of the capitalist class to maintain the law as it stands.” LED al Murder Will Out. Another astonishing proof of the ad age that “murder will out” his just occurred. On Monday last a woman named Lunsford was found dead in her ronm at Manfield, Ohio. Her throat was cut, her abdomen laid open with a fearful gash, and her hosom and arms had been terribly bitten. — There was nothing, however, to indi- cate who was her murderer, except that her only aquaintances in Mans field were a well known citizon. A. L. House of Ropraseitatives, From eredita ble duced to believe the bill, as presented and information since received, I am in- approved by me, never actually passed either the Senate or the House, although a bill of the same number and title with es- sentinlly different provisions, did pass ho h Houses at the same time the one presented tor approval purports te have been passed. In examination it that bill approved when presented was in the usual | appears the form certified by the comparing clerk to | have been compared and signed by the Speakers of the Hoase and Senate, as usual in other How did the false and frau dulent bill, which did not pas, get substi tuted for the genuine, which did pass? This is a grave question, irrespective of bills, and I earnestly invite the im:nedi te atten- tion of the Senate and House to the subject. If this novel and disgracetul species of | fraud shall be tolerated, no one can firetell the morits or demerits of thesa two the evil of the consequences which may ensue; and the legislators owe it to themselves, to the public interest involved . and tothe Executive whose official signa- | ture has thus been secured toa fraudulent bill, under false pretences, to at once insti- tute a prompt and thorough investigation, to the end that the guilty parties way be brought to speedy and eondign punish- ment, I also recommend that if the facts be found as alleged, the act be forthwith re- pealed. Jon. W. Geary, Whatever may be said of the members to the Legislature who perpetrated the fraud, certainly Governor Geary has no claims to exoneration from neglect to attend to his duty in the matter, The legal tender deeision concurrin by five judges of the Supreme Court, Chase, Nelson, Clifford, Field and Grier, will. it is supposed, be reve sed during the present April Now, with Grier off the Bench, dissenters, Swayne, Miller with the new judges, Strong and Bradley, will re-open the argument, and the two last named judges, with the dissenters, will reverse the decision by a This will be another ainong many thousand evidences already term. the and Davis, majority of one. given, that the radicals have no regard f or the preservation of independence, even in the highest jodicial tribunal.
