The Sacramento Bee sums up the facts thus
briefy-The case OF Carpenter vs.. Atber-
ton involved the corstiiuloualiiy Of the Speci
fc Contract law. Ii was Appealed from the
Twelfth District court, which affirmed the law
to be constitutional. Defendant had given a
note promising to pay certain sum in gold
coin. When due be rendered the amount in
greenbacks, which plaintiff refused TO receive,
and commenced suit to recover gold. Juds-
ment was given in favor of plaintiff, and De.
fendant appealed. The Suprme Court alfl-n
the judgment of the Court below, and very
distinctly declares the law known as the Spe-
ci6c Contract Law TO be c0nstitutlonal. ard
that contracts made under it must be enforced
by the Courts. The opinion. which covers
one bundFed pages legal cap paper, completely
eXhausts the subject was written by Judge

The case OF Lick vs.. Faulkner involved the
legality of greenbacks as legal tender for debts
Defendant offered the amount Of bis rent in
greenbacks. which plaintsff refused to receive.
ana commenced suit to recover gold. The court
below held that the offer of greenbacks consti
tnted legal tepder Of payment Of the debt,
