TBASUBY NOTES AS A LEGAL TENDEB j
FOB DEPOSITS OF COIN.
The Charleston Courier contains i\ii interesting
abstract of the rccetit case of Thonipron
vs. Itiggs, before the Supreme Court of tile Uiii- i
ted Statef, which presents various important
questions jjrowinp out the proper construction
of the lute Legal Tender Act of the Utiiie<1 i
Ktiite>. Tire power of Congress To pa*s a law, '
making any thing else than gold and silver, n lc- t
gal lander iu the payment of <Iebts, was long '
doubted. It was clear, thai a State had no '
such-right, being prohibited by the express j
worils of the Constitution. The power of
Congrts.?, however, has been sustained by re '
....i nn,l several of the Stat.
,
Courts Itiive sui-laiticd tlie validity of the law,
ev?n in reference to contracts made before its
its The important question involved
in this ease, is, whether Treasury notes of the
Uuitrd Stales can be oll'ered in b-giil payment
of contract#, where tho payment was specifically
agreed to he made in gold ? From telegraphic
announcements in our exchanges, we
see that the Supreme Court hits decided the
question in the afliimutive, sustaining the judgment
of the Court below. We extract Iroiii
the Courier the following abstract of the fucU
nud principles of the case:
lliggs&Co. were bankers in the city of
"Washington. In 1861 the plaintifTs, Messrs.
John and William Thompson, had upon deposit
with them the sum of $;>,50U in coin and
600 io currency. Afterwards, when the war
became a fixed fact, and the charactcr of the
currency begau to change, they were notified
by Kiggs <fc Co. that if they inltnded to hold
the bank responsible in coiu for the whole
amouu* of their deposit in coin, they must
olso convert the currency on deposi* ivto coin.
This was done by the plaintiff, v? t: .vlore,
in 1862, had the entire ninouut of $r>,000 on
deposit in coin in the k.mk.
In Februnry,1862, the Congress of the United
States passed its Act making Treasury
notes a legal tender in payment of all debts.
The plninliff brought their action against
the bank, claiming to recover the amouut ol
their deposit in coin. The defendants denied
any liability in the law, except for the amount
in Treasury notes, which they offered to pay
and which Was refused.
The plaintiffs ottered evidence to shew,
that by the custom of bank?, depositors were
entitled to reccive back their deposits in kind.
? 1 f,.
That wliere coin was uc|iumicu. h.cj
receive coin m return, and that when the deposit
Avsb in the nature of paper issue, Uie>
were repaid in the same way.
This evidence was ruled out by the Circuil
Court, snd upou this ruling exceptions hav?
been filed.
On the main and vital question in tin
case, the Presiding Judge charged the Jury ai
follows:
"If the jury fiud from the evidence th?
the .defendants were bankers in the year 18G1
and 1862, and that the coin mentioned in lh<
declaration was deposited with tlu-in as bank
ers, to be paid in coin, the deposit created i
debt from the plaintiffs which could be di&charg
Ijk td by a payment or offer to pay the same i;i ley a
? tender notes; aud if the jury further find tliu
*9 said lender was mode, llie plaintiffe are not en
9 tilled to recover in the actiou."
[ A verdict in accordance with these inatruc
! 9 tioDB was found fur the defendant. Upon a
appeal to the Supreme Court of the Diatr ct c
H Columbia the ruling of the Judge and llie vei
1 diet of the jury was affirmed, Chief Justic
y Cartier dis&eutiug.
| The ease has been carried up to the Suprein
| Court of tiie United State?, where it was ar
1 trued within the last few days.
It is a question of great importance Lo ever
commercial and banking community, and mm
especially in relution lo transactions before tli
war, Ii will be looked lo with great interea
3 If it is held that a special d>-posit in gold c
silver can be repaid by ihe bunk in the miiii
, \| number of dollnrd iu Treasury NoU*e, it wi
put an end at once to all special deposits. J
will be equivalent to declaring lliot whatevi
' 7 the private contract, the Legal Tender Acl a|
L-, -M i plies to it.
? | From a report, which we have siuce read,
. ' i' the above decision, we see thai the Sup-en
I Court haa decided, 1st, that the legal tend'
t S act applies to contracts made before its pu
i jy Wge.tmd 2d, tbit it makes valid a tender
\ 4^ lfes*ury notes in payment of a special contra
for tbe delivery of coin as currency. Wli*
the gold is treated as a commodity, we suppo
i according to other decisions, the contre
i. ; would be enforced rpecially.

* . MB. WALKER'S ARGUMENT.
' * We do not propose, says the National Intel
tL'jJl genitr, to follow Mr. Walker through his mi
fT-itfk terly argument. We publish the speech
full. It speaks for itself. It is the crowni
frfe effort or a life illustrated by eminent servic
* ' ; * and in force of reasoning, in breadth of etat
> rastsbip, in familiarity with conntjintiui
principle?, and inaptitude and feitilhy of
lofttration, it is destined to take rank with <
1jag great masterpieces of forensic eloquence, e
forever settle Mr. Walker's place amongHl I
jUrUk gr?it constitutional lawyers of this coantry
< J* Tfaere are several points, however, whieh
ifojjk , csonot.far bear noticing. We think Mr. AS
9&W ;.k?r haa, alleneed the outcry against politi
decisions. Hefhas not left a shred of argum
with which that demagogic cry con be ma
gL. taioed. He shew* that tnoet of the gt
m '' de?i?ions which eprnng from the great bi
fig > of a Marshall, or were illuatrated by the !ei
4og of a-Story, have been political in t!
tpffa ' character. The TJnited 8tates Bask, d

instead of pronouncing on their olaiins was to
justify secession, by showing cuum for it, is irresistible.
This is playing into the bauds of
extremists. Mr. Walker quoted, with great
force, the advice given by J.-.ekson, Cley, Webster
and others to South Carolina, in nullification
times, to appeal to -the courts instead of
Belting aside the leuif lutiun of Congreap.

GREELY ON CONFISCATION.
fJreoly iu his recent J-pcch ut Richmond,
thus discourses on this interesting .sul.j-ct:
1 have hearJ in Richmond that colored uien
will not hny homes or lands brcnisc they nre
expecting lion..steads as the fi uit of confiscnIion.
[' Dat so!" from black* ; "No so !" from
n white man.] I3eliev? me, friend, you can
much sooner mrn n home. Confiscation is Ihe
work of years, l>y u tedious legal process. If
we hare panned through ihe exasperations of
the last two years without carrying this idea
into execution, we need not hope for it now.
Tli ail. Stevens, (lie [great in mi who heads the
movement, uml who in, perhaps, one of the
greatest men who ever pat in Congress, ia the
only advocate of such a course among all our
Senators and Representatives. No hill has
ever been reported to attain such a result since
tile surrender of the rebel armies.
The speaker, continuing, remarked that in
' his judgment confiscation would be attended
with famines and disasters such us never before
! attended this country. Mr. Stevens argued
; j that fiOo.OGU.OOJO would be- put in the treasury
by confiscation ; but history had never yel fur
5 nislied an example where ffiOL,000,000 had beer
* put into any treasury by confiscation. Confiscation
bred deadly feuds. The feuds comt
uieiiced in consequence of the confiscation o
I lauds in Ireland by Cromwell two hundret
i years ago were not settled to-day. He did no
believe tliHt any wise man who wns the frien<
1 of the black men would advise them to wres
land by confiscation from their neighbors. H
' wi.uld not insist that oil values and Industrie
t would disappear under confiscation, but he dn
not believe that if nil the property in theSotill
were put up at auction it would biiujj $50o,
000.OOt) ; and then a good deal that might b
u condemned would afier all escape confiscation
" lor cs soon as tlm owner ot sucti land woiili
hear of confiscut ion, tie wouM slide it into th
e (land of gome loyul re'ative to he laken cur
of. Sometimes this land would be restore<
e and sometimes not. Confiscation would beg<
