DECISION IN PICARD TO BOUNrIEs

U. s. District Attorney for Virgini
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-03-24
WHN RESlMEs

The most obvious and important consdera-
ton, in favor of an immediate and earnest
effort to resume and maintain Specie Payments
may be summed up as follows:
|. The porcr Of the Federal Government, in
a state of peace and order, to interfere arbitra-
rily with the standard of value, is at best QueS-
tionahe. Ii il may do this, it would hc diff
cult TO imagine what it may not do. In time
Of war. OF intestine CONFUSION, Of great and
manifest public peril, we hold that its powers
are limited only by the clear exigencies of its
position. Il may take innocent men whom it sus-
poets oftrcasou from theirhouSes. their beds, and
lock them mp in prison unndicted, unaTaigned,
unaccu,ed, for indefinite terms; but it may not
50 hold them after the return Of peace. Now,
the power to interpOsc between citizens and
override their honest contractS-to say TO A.,
"You sold your house, or ship, or farm, to Il
for 50 600 in gold; but you shall give him re-
ceipt in full for $1,000 in paper, which be can
buy in open market for SO, 200 in gold, is ire
mendous assumption. No considerate citizen can
like to see authority strained to that tension
where the necessity for it is not grave, urgent
palpable. We presume that even Mr.. Stevens
being uncuestionably an able lawyer-would
prefer that the supreme Court should not be
required to adjudge the conStitutionality of an
act involving such assumption passed in time
of profound peace. And, if such an act could
not justfably have been passed in 1859, how
can il he ius,ifably maintained in force in 1867
III. The Business Of the country should rest on
a solid, assuring basis. Now it does not. The
element of gambling strongly peryades most
commercial transactions. He who Is prompted
to buy largely on credit Of Cotton or Pork, Flour
or Stocks. silks OF Wool says TO himself; " Il
tie Currency should be expanded and depre-
ciated hefor" l sell | shall make money!
