THE SUPREME CouRr AND THE lie,
GAL TENDER.-Tho order of the Su-
preme Court opening the Legal Ten
der Question, has excited some sur
prise. 1t seems that Chief Justice
Chase, and three members of the
court, who coincide with him, voted
against Attorney General Hoar's mo-
ton for rehearing Of the question,
but they were out-voted by the throo
dissenting Justices, and tho two now
Justices. The whole Conservative
press of the country deprccate any
reversal of tho decision; especially
as the main object Of the reversal is
to establish the supremacy of Con-
gress, and destroy all the limitations of
the Constitution. For this very rea-
son all tho organs of Radical Con.
gress support it. The supremacy of
Congress is their favorite dogma
which they can only carry into ope.
ration by overthrowing the Constitu.
tion-that organic law which defines
the powers, and prescribes the limi-
tations of the coordinate depart
mcnts Of tho Government. To do
this, it is now necessary to break down
tho Supreme Court, which is the
truo bulwark of the Constitution.
