for the bold and indctcndcnt and cor

do those sickcning terms, ssrcbel,"
"traitor," "loyal" appear.
The first resolution is so sound, so
just and So true, that one would sup
pose that the shades of Madison. or
Jefferson dictated it. The fact is,

Contracts malo in Confederate Money
Decision Of Chancellor Lasesna.

-Atteptioa is callcdto the decision
of Chancellor lc$cMc in the case
therein stated. rs The .Ncrcuy says,
cit will be seen that tho principle Is
shield that debts contracted IN Con-
FcIcratc currency must lee discharg-
cd on tho basis OF the value Of that
"currcncy, rs compared with gold, at
'''hc time that the dcLt was incurred,
';and consideration given therefor"
Suppose this principle should OBJ
tain in every case litigatcd, what
would be iss effect Take an exam

buys of j one hundred bushels corn,
ANA :.ss;tos his note Of five hundred dol
lars payable 18th Of March, 1866.
The cora is valued at The time of the
contract at $500 in Confederate
currency. In tho meantime the war
ends, tic note falls due, tho holder
demands payment, and the debtor de-
murs.' The iormcl. sues.
But ut the same timc another case

lar in every point except that the pr-
chase is made on 18th Of March,
1868, when, corn was worth twenty
five dollars u .bushol. The amount Of
the face of the note in this case, is
$4,000. r 'fA 7
Now in the first case, the value Of
tho currency, as compared with gold,
was FIVE 10 ono. So that, if in both
cases the principle above cited be APP
piled, in enc tho plaintiff RECEIVERS
$500 in gold for his hundred 'jnahal$
of corn, while in the other he rccoy-
crs only $50 ingold for his. 10 ono
will deny that the corn was worth as
much in ths second rs in tle (rst.case,
and yet tho plaintiff in tho second
case gets only half Of an equivalent
