Secretary McCulloch in his report points out
way to the resumption of specie payments
which has the merit Of being practicable. and
would be attended perhaps with less derange-
ment Of the circuIa ion than any other mode
yet suggested. He recommends a declaration
by law that after the first day of January, eiga-
teen hundred and seventy, United States notes
shall cease to be a legal tender in payment Of
all private debts subsequently contracted; and
hat after the first day of January, eighteen
hundred and seventy -one, they shall cease to
be legal tender on any contract, or for any
purpose whatever, except Government dues,
Tor which they are now receivable. The la ", he
says, should also authorize the conversion of
these notes, at the pleasure of the holders, into
bonds, bear such rate of interest as may be
authorized by Congress on the debt into which
the present outstanding bonds may be funded.
Those who contend that the volume of cur
reDcy is not now larger than the country
needs will. of course, resist this summary ex.
tihction OF so large a volume of paper money,
and ss many Western men are Of this mode OF
thinking it may be that Mr.. McCulloch's con-
traction ideas will have no more weight this
session than heretofore. An adverse decision
by the United States Supreme Court as to the
constitutionaity of the legal tender law would,
however, make short work of the matter, as
suggested by Mr.. McCulloch, and, curiously
enough, the very question is being argued in the
U. :. Supreme Court contemporary with the
appearance OF his report. The public believes
that the cons nationality Of the law will be
maintained by the court, but this belief Is
founded rather on hope, and on the certainty
that financial crash would result from such
decision coming upon the country unpre-
pared than upon any adequate ground. There
Is certainly weight in the recommendation OF
Secretary McCulloch that legislation upon the
matter should precedea possible decision (from
which there can be no appeal) that United
States notes are not, under the Federal Const-
tuition, legal lender.

1t lacked TO some:extent, as it seemed to US, the

legal question of considerable importance
as affecting the rights of an individual once
tried for an offence before a municipal officer,
and involving also the question OF concurrent
jurisdiction of Mayors and Judicial courts,
has Just been decided by Hon. NJ. M. Granger,
one OF the Circuit Judges Of Ohio. A grand
jury, il appears, had returned An indictment
against one Fell for assault and battery
upon one Wedge,-Fell having been previously
fined by the Mayor for disturbing the peace by
fighting in the streets, during which ARRAY the
assault upon Wedge was committed. Upon
trial, under the indictment, a special plea was
filed by the defendant, setting up the conyic-
ton before the Mayor, and claiming Immunity
from farther punishment for the same offence
To this the States attorney demurred, on the
ground that the conviction by the Mayor in a
p. secution by the city for q violation
OF one Of its ordinances was not
bar 10 the prosecution by the State for assault
and battery. The case was ably argued at
length on both sides, and considerable interest
was manifested. as il has been customary in
that State for parties to cause fines to be
assessed by Mayors against persons for assaults,
and then rosecute for the same affray under,
The State law. The court, in its decision, held
however, that the plea was good.-that the
prosecution before the Mayor was a bar to
further proceedings, and the prisoner was
discharged.
