The Legal Tender Decision.

In the Supreme Court of the United
States, on Wednesday, Mr.. Chattield. of
the counsel for the appellants in the cases
of Latham and Deming, as. The United
States, declared that the appellants had de-
termined their own appeals in these cases,
and filed a notice of withdrawal. There
were present Attorney General Hoar for
the United States. and Messrs. Chattield,
Mcpherson and Merryman for the appel
lants. Hon. Clarksen n. Potter was also
in the Court. by leave, to discuss the legal
tender question. if heard.
After the motion was made to dismiss,
Attorney General Hoar expressed his oppo-
sition to it, but desired, i'll case the Court
concluded to dismiss these appeals, to grant
the molten made last week to rehear Mr..
Potter's case. Hepburn as. Griswold, which
was still undecided. He urged that the ar
gument ought to be heard, involving SO
many important interests, and especially
in view of the fact t1at the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution has ratified
the legal-tender act of Congress, and the
validity of this issue of the public debt to
the full measure of its statutory qualities
could no longer be questioned i'll the
Courts.
Justices Miller and Bradley suggested
doubts as to the rights of the appellants to
withdraw the appeals, and asked for con-
ference.
After brief conversation among the
Judges the Chief Justice announced that
the Court would retire fer consultation,
which they accordingly did.
They returned in a few minutes when
the Chief Justice said the motion to dis
miss the appeal was unanimously concur
red in by the Court as the absolute right OF
the parties, and he announced that the
Court had determined to deny the motion
of the Attorney General for a rehearing in
the Hepburn and Griswold case.
This is the case in which the Court here
tofore decided that the legal-tender act is
invalid as to contracts made before its pas
sage.
The Chief Justice said, as the reason why
their hearing was denied, was that none OF
the four Judges now on the Bench who con-
CURED in the opinion in that case desired
to have the case reheard, and, under the
rule of the Court, without the consent Of
some one of the Judges who concurred in
the decision of case, it could not DO re-
heard
Justice Bradley said according to the
practice to which he had been accustomed,
an appeal or writ of error could not be dis
missed without the consent of the either
party, but rs the practice of the Supreme
Court was otherwise, he had yielded a
cheerful concurrence.
The refusal to rchear leaves the decision
as it was heretofore made in the 11epburn
Griswold case.
