Hos. REvERDY JOHNSON ON THE CURREN-
CT, Ne,r York, August Is -R"verdy Jobu-
sor writes long letter to the Tribune on the
currrncy, in which he comes to the following
conclusions:
Fir:t. That the only currency known to The
Constitution is gold and silver, or paper con.
vertble into 1t on demand.
SCcoud. That nothing but gold and silver
can be made n legaltender.
Third. The Government now being per-
fectly safe, no danger threatening 1t, or beng
apprchrnoed. Congress has no power to au.
thoriz the issue of an irredeemabe currency
and Ia make it cg,ltender.
Foutlh. That the credit Of The nation. the
true, permanent prosperity of every class OF
our citizens, and the arrest Of the demorai-
izaliop consequent upon the present state OF
things, demand as speedya return as praetl'
cable to specie currency.
AS to the first proportion, we remark that
the Constitution says nothing about paper
convertible irto specie on demand. No State
is allowed 10 make anything but gold and
silver legaltender. yet not onls did Con.
gress make greenhackS Il legal-teuder but the
Supreme Court, which is pretty good all.
thority, says Congress had right to make
1t so. We pit that august tribunal against
Mr.. JOINS IN.
The serord proposition is untrue also.
Every grecnback reads as follows: "This
"nose is ls.al-tendcr at its face ralue for
"al debts, pup!ic and private" &c. And
The Supreme Court, re repeat, has decided
that Congress had the power to make green
backs lega!.tender for all deb!s.
The THIRD proposition is absurd. Mr..
JOHNSON decides that as there is no danger
now threatening the Government, therefore
Congress has 10 power 10 make greenbacks a
legal.tender. That's new way of reading
and expounding tue Constitution. Unfortu-
nateIy for this dictum, Congress, and not Dir.
