In the supreme court of the United
States. yesterday. Senator Edmunds made
a motion to advance the case of Juiliard
VS.. Green, which now stands No. 779, and
which was entered for the purpose OF
testing the validity of the act of congress
forbiddng the further retirement of legal
tender notes and requiring them to be
reissued and kept in circulation. 1t is held
by counsel that the case is one of such
special interest aud importance at the
present tune, involving as it does the
whole subject of congressional power to
maintain the legal tender quality of United
States notes in time of peace, as to justify
this application for speedy hearing. 1t is
further urged that decision either 10
favor or against the validity OF the reissue
ing act will, if made at an early day, in
the existing state of prosperity. work no
hardship; whereas if the case were to be
decided at time when the legal tenders
were below par great suffering might be
the result. For these and other reasons
the court is asked to set the case down for
some day at the present term.
