On a question OF 50 much Importance.
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1870-03-24

We invite the attention OF those who
wish to see justice done to the soldiers
to the following resolutions:
Whereas, The supreme court Of the
United States has recently decided that
United States legal-tender notes are not
legal tender for obligations contracted
prior to the passage of the act in virtue
of which said legal-tender notes were
issued and.
:" Whereas, Before the passage Of said
legal-tender act. large number of per-
sons had enlisted in the United States
service, to aid in the suppression of the
late rebellion, and were, therefore, viz
tuilly promised specie in payment for
their patriotic services; and,
Whereas, They were afterward COM
PEELED by the officers and agents of the
United States government to take their
pay in the deprecated paper Of the
United States, often worth less than one
half its face as compared with specie;
therefore,
"Resolrea, BY the general assembly of
the state Of Ohio, that our senators in
congress be instructed, and our repre-
sentatiyes be respectfully requested, to
introduce and urge the passa ge of law
for the speedy adjustment of the claims
of all officers, soldiers, and marines who
entered the service Of the United States
in the military and naval service prior
to the passage of said legal-tender act, so
that they shall receive the difference be-
tween specie and the value of the depre
ciated paper, which they were compelled
to take in payment for their services.
''Resolred. That the governor be re-
quested to transmit copy of the forcgo-
ing preamble and resolution to each of
our senators and representatives in Con-
gress."
The above were offered in the Ohio
Legislature, a few days ago, and were
voted squarely down by the republicans
in the senate, and were amended by the
in the house 80 as to indicate
that the soldiers voluntarily accepted
paper.
The decision o. the supreme court did
not affect the morality Of the payment Of
the soldiers, in greenb,cks. That pay
ment was fiat repudia ion. Those sol
diers we're promised coin. The holders
of the fve-t twenty bonds were promised
greenbacks. The soldiers were paid
greenbacks and the bondholders coin
