pledge of the public faith and credit, the
form OF the instrument, as adapting it
in external appearance to the common
notion OF money, is left with those most
concerned in its currency.
2. It is to be based, by the terms of
the ACT, on the credit of the State Co.
vernment in its sovereign capacity.
3. The Act attempts to confer upon it
not only the full credit capable of being
conferred by this, as of the full faith
and credit of the State, but to create an
artificial want in the community tending
to give it currency. In the first place, it
is made receivable in payment of taxes
and all other dues to the State, except
The special tax levied to pay interest on
the public debt (Sec. 81 Again, il ;s
provided that il any such scrip is re-
ceived in the Treasury for thu payment
OF taxes, the Treasurer is authorized to
pay out the same in satisfaction of any
claims against the Treasury, except in
tarest that may be due on the public
debt. (Sec. g..
These provisions contain two distinct
features. The first is promissive fea.
ture. affecting each individual in the
community who is tax x-payer, and sup.
plying to him o motive to become O
purchaser Of the scrip. A more ener-
getic means OF creating an interest and
motive in the community to deal with
the scrip as money could not be offered,
short Of making the scrip compulsory
payment of all debts as between indivi-
duals. The other feature involves the
communication to the scrip OF the capa-
city of performing all the functions of
money in all dealings between the State
and individuals, excepting only tho case
OF the payment of interest on the public
debt. This last feature can have no
other significance than that Of giving
currency to the scrip as money.
1t will be observed, from the language
OF the fourth section, in which the faith

the present case, to inquire whether the
foregoing definition is exhaustive of the
whole sense and meaning of the consti-
tutional prohibition; for the present case
will be found fully within that defini-
ton, and, therefore, covered by the au.
thority OF the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case already cited.
1t remains, then. only to inquire whether
the obligations contemplated by the Act
under consideration are intended to have
the following characteristics:
l. That they were to be issued by
State in its sovereign character.
2. That they were to contain q pledge
of its faith; and,
8. That they we're intended to circu-
late as money. - sam
The first and second propositions are
settled in the affirmative by the terms of
Section g. which provides, as wo hold,
for paper to be issued by the State
Treasurer, importing an obligation op
the part OF the State to pay certain
sum OF money to the bearer. It will,
therefore, be necessary only to inquire
whether it was the intention OF the Act
that this paper should circulate as money.
An inquiry of this nature calls into
exercise one OF the most important and
responsible Judicial powers incident to a
constitutional government. 1t involves
the examination Of nm Aob OF the Legis-
lature, With the view of fixing the pur-
pose and intent Of the Legislature in
the passage Of such ACT, not merely as
means OF effeotuating such purpose and
intent OF the law.making power, by
means Of the judicial authority, but for
the purpose OF testing the authority Of
the law.making power itself in the case,
under the supreme law of the land. The
principles that should govern such an
inquiry are we'll illustrated in the case of
Craig vs. Missouri, already referred to,
and the mode in which they are there
applied TO a case remarkably similar to
the one in hand, marks ont very clearly

HURRAH!-Old Sumner has declared in
favor of Greeley, and the Republican party
has got rid of the great Chinese suffrage ad-
vocate, the man who ofcrel an amendment
in the Senate last winter which, if it had
not been voted down by the Republican
majority, would have authorized the natur
alization Of Chinamen. The Greeley
Sumner clique, on account of their ex-
treme Radicalism, have always been dead
weight to the Republican party, and their
Withdrawal should be hailed by all conseva-
tive Republicans with pleasure.

CIRcULARs.-Lately several circulars
have been sent to this Office from Greeley
Democratic committees and clubs in San
Francisco requesting the names of those
who would be most active in distributing
Greeley campaign documents and laboring
for the cause generally. Well, gentlemen,
We refer yeu to our toHnsmen DR. Pelham
aud Joseph W. Bracket, Esq, the two
active local leaders of the Greeley party,
both Of whom were for the Philosopher
from the minute they heard he was nomi-
mated at Cincinnati.
