Despatch 10 the Associated Press.
WAsmNeToN, Feb THE case of Hepburn
vs. Griswold, brought from the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky, involving the Legal-tender law,
was decided in the United States Supreme Court
to-day. Chief Justice Chase delivered the
opinion of the Court sustaining the decision of
the court below, and holding that contract
made before the Legal-tender law could not be
discharged in United States notes. The opinion
is very long, and discusses at great length the
powers of Congress.
1t holds that Congress has no right to make
Government notes legal-tender for pre-exst-
ing private debts. 1t does not touch the ques-
ton of contracts made since the law was passed.
This opinion was concurrcd IN by Justice Nell
son, Justice Clifford, and Justice Field. Mr..
Justice Miller delivered the minority opinion,
concurred in by Justice Swayne and Justice
Davis, holding the law to be entirely constitu-
tional, treatingh principally as an incident to
