Tss Lsoat TsnDsa Dscision BY ~
Suprens Cosrs 10 ,hss stated BY thu
associated press dispatches:
wAsHrxerox, February 7th.
! The case Of HepbuTa ~. Griswold. brought
from the Court Of Appeals of Kentucky, in.
volving the Legal Tender Law, was decided il
the United States Supreme Court to-day
Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion
in Court. The opinion sustains the Cour'
below. holding that = contract made before
the Legal Tender law was passed. could NO,
be discharg d in United States notes.
The opinion is very long, .nd discusses al
great length the power of Congress. 1t holds
that Congress had no right To make Govern
ment notes legal tenders for preexisting priv
! ate debts. 1t does not touch upon contracts
made since the law was passed. This opin-
ion was ccncurred in BY Justice Nelson. JUS
tice Clifford and Justice Field.
Justice Miller delivered the minority opin-
ion, concurred in by Justice Sws,ne and
Justice Davis, holding the law to be constitu-
tional, and treating it principally as an incl
dent to the war power.
\ disp.tc frsm New York Gays:
The Supreme Court decision on the legal
tender question is the great subject of discus
sion in financial circles. The decision. as
understood in Wall street, is. that the Legal
Tender Act was justified by the war. but that
Congress has no power to issue any more legal
,ender notes, and that all contracts made be-
tore 1862 must be paid in coin.
In this shape the decision is certainly very
important, but its influence on values has
been remarkably slight. considering the deci-
sion makes same millions of railroad bands
and an immense aggregate OF State and city
bonds payable in coin. both principal and
interest of which for eight years have been
paid in greenbacks.
II is not improbable that some of the poorer
States, with heavy debts, as North Carolina
or Tennessee. being unable to provide for the
payment of debt even on Currency basis,
NAV be driven, by this decision, into open re-
padia,ion. pleading the action ofthe Supreme
Court as imposing on them obligations they
could not honor. -.,
Whatever this decision may mean il
is hardly what should have been e.
pecied from Chief Justice Chase who.
AZ the Secretary of the Treasury at n
time when the present financial policy
of the Government was adopted. figured
more prominently than any other mat
in connection Herewith. This view OF
the case is natural, although Mr.. Chase's
opinions have Invariably been in accord
with his Copperhead associates, Nelson,
Clifford and Field

never saw Jessie (Benton) Fremont till lately
when she came in to dinner at the Arlington
Hotel with her husband, and they sat in my
angle of vision for an hour. Mrs. Fremont
is large, fat blonde. with a sharp,
up-puinted nose, good complexion,
bright eye, lighted up partly with
humor and partly with intentional high
spirits, and her carriage, health, :" bounce,
and ripe, brown, nutty tints made rather
agreeable tete-a te,e. She probably weighs
abou, one hundred and eighty pounds, while
the little General has scarcely the heft of one
hundred and twenty. He is Of uncombed
gray whiskers and spilled gray hair. eneom.

two black, frightened eyes stare out like rab-
bits. Psrtly an exquisite's and partly an

it. She has . pronounced American face.
