such 11l act would not. An act which
makes men promise to pay dollars ii
legal tenders for the payment of debts
previously contracted is not o means
appropriate, plainly adapted or really
calculated to carry into effect any ex.
press power granted to Congress
though it Is not surprising amid the
tumult Of civil war, under apprehen-
sions for the safety of the Republic, q
different view was entertained by Amer.
ican statesmen, and was adopted by
many. The time was not favorable
for considerate reflection upon the
constitutional limits Of the Legislative
or Executive authority, but the power
was assumed from patriotic motives, and
the assumption found ready justifca-
ton in patriotic hearts. But many
who then acquiesced in view of oui
necessity since the return of peace III
calmer times have considered their
opinions, and now concur in the views
here announced, that the legal tender
net can not apply to pre-existing con-
tracts.
Judge Miller, after arguing the case
at great length, says the legal tender
clauses were placed in the bill reluct-
antly and with hesitation, and only
after theimperatiye necessity of il bad
been demonstrated. How this neces-
sity alone could have carried this
clause also proves clearly that tho ex-
istence OF that necessity refers TO The
power of Congress TO establish sys-
tenn of bankruptcy, tho essence oi
which is to discharge debtors from the
obligation of pre-existing tracts
He declares the arguments too fine fol
his perception by which the indirect
effect of new public measure in de.
preciating tho value of lands, stocks
and bonds renders such law invalid.
As to the taking Of private property
for public use, or depriving the owner
of it without due process of law, those
laws have been received as valid with
almost UNIVERSAL acceptance, and pay.
ment has been made in legal tenders
to the amount OF thousands OF mil.
lions of dollars, though gold was the
only lawful tender when the debt was
contracted The two houses of Con.
gross, the President who signed tho
bill, and fifteen State Courts of last
resort (being all but one that have
passed upon the question:, have ex.
| ressed belief in the constitutionality
of these laws. With all this great
weight of authority and this strong
concurrence OF opinion among those
who have passed upon the question
previous TO our being called upon tC

upon it, in the light Of the Constitu
ton, we are to reverse their action

Where there is choice means tho
power of selections is with Congress
not with the Court. If the act to bs

that necessity is for the Legislature

THE RocHE.oRT- RT-boEApARTI AFFAIR In THE
IRoIsLATuRg.
AT the sitting OF the Corps Legis-
latif to-day M. Guyot Montpayroux
proposed that members of the Impe-
rial family be rendered amenable to
law. He said he had no intention OF
creating trouble he wished simply
to do away with unlawful exceptions.
NJ. Henri Rochefort referred in
bitter terms to the murder of Victor
Noir. He said Noir was one of the
people, and the people should judge
his murderer, who, though cousin 70
the Emperor, must y be allowed TO
escape.
NJ. Olivier, in reply, promised
that they should have justice. In the
course of his speech ho used these
words We are justice, law, nnoder-
alton il you force us NO will be

A communication from tho Procurer
Imperial was laid before tho Chamber,
demanding the arraignment of Deputy
Henri Rochefort for outrage against
the Emperor, and for exciting disorder
and violence.
The demand was referred to COM
mitteo.
It is reported that NJ. Olivier, with
tho approval OF the Emperor, has is-
sued orders permitting the free return
to France of Ledru Rollin and other
persons IN the came position.

THE BURIAL OF LOVE.

Two dark-cyed maids, at shut Of day,
Sat where river rolled away,
With eslm, sad hrows, and raven hairs
And one was pale aud both were fair.
Bring flowers, they sang. sting flowers unblowu
Bring forest blooms Of name unknown;
Bring budding sprays from wood and wild,
To strcw tho bier Of Love, the child.
Close softly, fondly, while ye weep,
His eyes, that death may seem like sleep;
And fold his hands in sign of rest,
Ills waxen hands, across his breast.
And make his grave whore violets hide,
Where star flowers strew the rivnlets side,
Aud blue-birds, in thu misty Spring
OF clOudless skies aud Summer sing.
Place near him, ms ye lay him low,
His idle shafts. his loosonod bow,
The silken iillet that around
Ills waggish eyes in sport he wound.
But we shall mourn him long, and miss
His Turing smile. his ready kiss,
The patter of his little feet,
Sweet ffowns and stammered phrases sweet
And graver looks, serene and high,
A light of heaven in that young eye;
All these shall haunt us tili the heart
Shall ache and aehe-and tears viii start.
The bow, the band, shall fall to dust;
The shining arrows waste with rust;
And all of Love that earth can claim,
BE but q memory and a name.
Not thus his noblcr part shall dwell,
A prisoner in this narrow cell;
But he whom now we hide from men
In the dark g-ound, shall live again.
Shall break these clods, form CT light,
With nobler micn aud purer sight,
And in the eternal glory stand
Highest and nearest Gods right hand.

A REPLYTO SMITH.
PoarLAsp, Oregon, Feb. 5. $50.


Editors Democrat:
GENrLEMES-In your issue of Jan.
p, 1870, appeared communication
dated Jan. IL, and signed "Smith, - in
which the author vented his spleen
against my wife, Rosa Martin, and a
lecture delivered in this city by spirit
through her organism. Jan. 8, 1870, in
manner that evinces his utter disre-
gard for truth and coarse valgarity
that is insulting to the public eye.
His description of her person and
style of oratory is too contemplate to
merit a reply, but his assertion that
''she crucifes grammar with a reckless
ness that is refreshing" he would do
well to profit by, rs will appear by the
following quotation from the aforesaid
communication: 'sBy the way, has it
occurred to you how singularly fitting
it is that Henry Ward Beecher should
be the chiefea figure in the latest of
sensational nastiness ?" By referring
to Pinneo, p. 1S6, Bullion, p. 20, Kirk
ham, p. II, and Clark, p. 103, ''Smiths
may learn something to his advantage
In the use of adjectiSes that will put
to blush his former experience IN gram
mar.
Again, he asserts: "She is of course
a Greeley-Beecher-Richar -Repub-
1iean. This assertion has no founda-
ton in any remarks made by her either
publicly or privately, and is an unmit-
igated falsehood.
Again: "And spoke out strongly for
Cinnamon. She stated that there
were persons of both parties Demo
cratic and Republican, who were un-
tiring in public denunciation of the
Chinese, but who would secretly en-
ploy them If their services could be Sc
cured for smaller compensation than
that demanded by the white race; also,
that there were persons who fiercely
denounced the Chinese who were in~
debted to them for washing, ironing,
&C., and that they never intended to
pay them, and that this was one of
their motives for crying out, "Down
with the Chinamenp Now if Smith
can conscientiously apply these cases
to himself, his irritability is not to be
wondered at.
Again, he writes: ''I take her to be
very ignorant" This is egotism gone
to seed.
Again: ssShe asserted that Confucius
wrote just as good philosopy as ever
Christ wrote This is another mis-
Representation, for she said that Con
fucius taught doctrines similar to those
Christ taught-which assertion the
llearned "Smith" may contradict If il
Itickles his vanity or will conduce, in
Iany way. to his notoriety as an histori-
Ecal wiseacre.
| I'm conclusion, Twill say that Smith
lis evidently making an effort to gain
||ppblic sympathy and notoriety at the
Iexpense of truth and good sense.
