other issues OF such notes were authorized by
Congress in the course of the fifty years next
after the passage of that act and before the
passage OF the acts making such notes legal
tender, and every one of such prior acts, being
twenty in all, contains, either in express words
or by necessary implication, an equally decls-
i've negation to the new constitutional theory
that Congress can make paper emissions elthef
a standard of value or legal tender
TREASURY NOTES CANNOT BE MADE A LEGAL
TENDER.
Superadded to the conceded fact that the
Constitution contains no express words to sup
port such theory, this long and unbroken
usage that Treasury notes shall not be consti-
tuted a standard of value nor be made ten
der in payment of debts is entitled to great
weight, and when taken in connection with
the persuasive and convincing evidence de-
rived from the published proceedings of the
convention, that the trainers of the Constitu-
ton never intended to grant any such power,
and from the recorded sentiments of the great
men whose arguments in favor of the reported
draft procured its ratification and supported as
that view is by the repeated decisions of this
Court, and by the infallible rule Of interpreta-
ton that the language of one express power
shall not be expanded as 10 nu,lify the force and
effect of another express power in the same
instrument, it seems to me that it ought to be
deemed final and conclusive that Congress
cannot constitute such notes, or any other
paper emissions, constitutional standard OF
value, or make them legal tender III pay
ment of debts, especially as it covers the period
of two foreign wars, the creation of the second
national bank, and the greatest financial re-
vulsions through which our country has ever

ILtWISVUII JUuI IfI'I
What Others Think.

1t is suggestive that all the great Statesmen
and financiers of Europe regard the financial
policy of this country, since the close of the
war, as eminently wise We were in Paris
when approaching resumption brought the
greenback to par; and we found that the lead
ing French papers, and even NJ. Say, the
French Minister of Finance, spoke of it as a
matter of congratulation. We were at Rome
when the day of resum ption arrived, and the
Italian papers alluded to it as great triumph
and expressed the hope that Italy might soon
follow. Every leading paper in Europe-Bis-
marcks organ at Berlin and the London Times
and News-devoted leaders to the financial tri-
umphs of the United States-speaking of it as
a most beneficial measure.
In May we were in the British House OF
Commons and heard Mr.. Gladstone, the great
liberal Statesman, say in q debate on the bud
get that the success of the United States in
overcoming the financial difficulties which en-
vironed them at the close of the war, was one
of the marves of modern finance. In an inter-
view with John Bright about the same time,
that great liberal Statesman and friend of the
people, gave expression to the same idea; and
abiding to the ''fiat'' theories which have been
propagated in this country, remarked that
"More nonsense was uttered on the stump in
the United States, than in any other country
that he knew off, but he added, 81 have OBJ
served, however, that in the end the good COM
mon sense of your people seems to prevail"

ter Richard Rush has been through Behring's
strait within three miles of Wrangel land, and
within "a of East Cape, near which Prof. Nor
denskjold is supposed to be frozen in. Her

far as visible. The season in the arctic zone
has been unusually favorable for exploration.
The winter was warm and the ice broke up
early.
Lieut.. belong of the Jeanette, hopes to
reach Wrangel land before the ice closes and
intends to winter there. There is some ques-
ton as to his reaching there early enough, as

coast in the vicinity of East Cape in search Of
tidings of Nordenskjold. The report of his es-
cape is not credited at the north.

The United States Offers Mediation to the |
Belligerent States.


WASHINGTON; June 16.-The announcement
is made with authority that our government
has instructed Minister Chrstiancy at Lima,
Peru, and Minister Osborn at Santiago, Chilli
to communicate to the governments to which
they are accredited that it deeply regrets the
unhappy condition of affairs existing between
Chill and Peru, and that while our govern
ment does not desire to thrust its mediation
upon them, yet such is its regard for the peace
and prosperity of both that should it be mil-
tually desired we shall be very ready to use our
good offices to secure an honorable settlement
of the difficulties between the belligerent gov
ernments whenever hey shall indicate that
about an honorable peace. These instructions
have been communicated to the governments
of Peru and Chill, but sufficient time has not
elapsed for a reply. 1t is a reasonable hope
made in a spirit of friendship will lead to the
acceptance of mediation and bring about
speedy termination of the war.

convince him that they were imported direet
from the West Indies, and that they passed
the New Orleans quarantine unchallenged
and arrived in this city some time in June.

THE FRYE MURDER.
Plenty of Theories but Few Facts.-Ar-
rest on Suspicion.

BosToN, Aug. 1.-THE Frye murder con-
tinues the exciting theme of discussion
throughout the city. The authorities continue
very reticent as to what progress has been
made in the case but it is learned tonight that
at least one arrest was made to-day on suspic-
ion though it does not seem that it throws
much light on the tragedy. The authorities
are endeavoring to ascertain to whom the pis-
tol that was found in the coal hod on the morn
ing after the murder belonged but thus far
to get the names of any of the parties who
were with Mr.. Frye at the social gathering
at his house Thursday night. In the meantime
all sorts of theories continue rife but none that
stand the test of earnest consideration. The
funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon.
One Thos. Murphy has been arrested on sus
picion of completely in the Frye murder. The
arrest is considered important.
