CarcAoo, December 2s.-The trade OF thecity
has been active, the retail stores being
thronged with shoppers In search Of articles

According to Washington dispatch, the
Supreme Court OF the United States has
rendered decision that Justice Bradley
ayswill ultimately lead to a recognition
ol the war debts OF the Southern States.
The question at issue was the validity Of
certain notes OF the bank OF Tennessee
which the State had in 1898 agreed to re-
CeIve as taxes, but which had, by a State
Constitutional amendment in 1885, been
declared void SO far rs they were put out
during the period OF the rebellion. The ma
iOFity Of the court hold that there is no
evidence to show that these notes were
Issued to aid the rebellion; that the State
sovemment remained unchanged rs a
State during the Rebellion, and that there.
lore the amendment Of 1885 is void as i'm.
pairing the obligation OF n contract. The
court says: atha

The redemption act says: And on ana
after the lst day Of Janurry, 1870, the Sec
rtary OF the Treasury shall redeem in coin
the United States legal tender notes then
outstanding, on their presentation for re-
iemption at the office Of the Assistant
Treasurer OF the United States in the city
Of New York, in sums Of not less than
So" It is well known that no exact pro-
vision for the redemption OF outstanding
legal tenders has been made by legislation
for any point other than New York. On
the first day Of resumption there will beno
redemption, except the receipt OF green
backs for customs duties, outside Of New
York. This will obviate any need for a
distribution OF the coin reserve, which
would be imperative, II actual payment in
gold OF legal tenders presented at all sub
t,easures were provided for. The depart
nent Is thus enabled to concentrate its
forces at one point in maintaining itself,
Its not the intention, however, to resume
only at New York. It is the ultimate in
ten,ion to redeem legal tenders at all sub
treasures, il the transactions at New
York alter the first Of january demonstrate
that resumption is complete success.
When the department is satisfied of this
iact, United States notes will be redeemed
At the different sub-treasuries throughout
the country, as well as in New York, and
Ddo this it may be necessary to transport
coin from New York. In this case an ap-
propriation would have to be made for that
purpose. The cost Of the governments
transportation OF silver is paid out OF the
silver fund. The transportation OF gold Is
paid only out OF the amount appropriated
brthe transportation Of "funds." AS the
aYount under this present .appropria-
ton is no more than sufficient to pay for
the carrying of notes, an appropriation for
the transportation OF gold would have TO
be made, il that coin should necessarily
be required to be moved in the process Of
resumption. 1t is hardly expected, how
ever that this will be the case. As the in
lcations already show that the people
generally prefer greenbacks to gold at this
early date, it can safely be inferred that
the different sub-treasuries will receive
enough gold to redeem all legal tenders
