WARRINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May Large numbers of the
bar were present at the Supreme Court Cham
Der to-day, including Solicitor General Brs-
tow and Senators Trumbull and Cole, as it was
opinions prepared during the weeks recess
previous to adjourDiDg until the 10th of
October next.
All the judges were on the bench with the
exception of Justice Nelson, who is absent
from the city. The Chief Justice retired about
two o'clock. None of the opinions were an
nounced by him. Justice Clifford read pa
per in the legal tender cases of the Knox vs.
LIE, and Parker vs. Davis, as follows: In
tuese two cases are two questions heretofore
directed to be issued to be argued, namely
First, is the act of Congress known as "the le-
gal tender act constitutional as to contracts
made before its passage? Second, is it valid
as applicable to transactions since its passage?
These questiOue have been considered by the
Court and both decided in the Affirmative. The
decree of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts
in the case of Parker Vs. Davis is therefore al
firmed and the judgment of the Circuit Court
of the United States, of the Western district Of
Texas is also affirmed. The Chief Justice, with
Associate Justice Nelson, Clifford, and Field
dissent from the majority OF the Court on both
propOsitionssand result, holding that the act of
Congress SO far as applicable to contracts made
before its passage is lepue nant to the cOnstitu-
ton and void and also that it is repugnant to
| the constitution and void so far as applicable to
| the contract madeTsince its passage The opn-
| ion Of the Court and reasons for the dissent
| will be read before the close of the adjourned
term.
