WASHINGTON, February 9-Col-
onel Henry G. Ccrbin, secretary and
treasurer of the executive committee
of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland, on the proposed mon
ument to Garfield, to be erected in
one of the public parks of Washing
ton, called on the Postmaster
eral, yesterday, and suggested to
him that the society would be aided
in it's efforts to secure the necessary
funds if he would emulate the ex-
ample Of Secretary Hunt, commend
ing the project to the postmasters
of the country, as Mr.. Hunt com>
mended it to its sailors. Thereupon
the Postmaster General took up his
pen and wrote the following, Which
has the ring of a general order on a
field day:
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. s, 80.
To the Postmasters of the United
States:
The Society of the Army of the
Cumberland appeals to your for aid
to procure contributions to the fund
for the erection of a monument in
the national capital to the memory
of James A. Garfield 1 am sure no
word is needed from me to enlist
your best efforts On behalf of such a
cause. By noble aspirations and BY
tlreless endeavor to promote the
public welfare, President Garfield
had achi, we'd the highest honors of
the republic when he had but little
passed the noon of life. He fell the
victim to malice so wanton as to
seem demoniac. A monument to
him will attest the nations love for
his virtues and the nation abhor,
renee for that inscrutible depravity
which slew him. Such a structure
should not be stinted for lack of
means, The nation is very Iich.
Let art exhaust itself in invention ;
let money leap to execute her de-
signs. have but lately assumed Of
fetal relations with your corps. This
is my first communication to you
You are numerous, widespread, in
fiuential. You will respond to the
appeal of the Society of the Army Of
the Cumberland, and your response
will show. [ trust, that those who
administer the postal service for the
United States are not the least pa
triotic nor the leart capable of those
who work for the Republic.

NASHVILLE, Feb II, 1881.-The opinion
of the Supreme Court delivered this
morning declares invalid and unconsti-
tutional the act of April, 1881, to COM
promise the State debt at 3 per cent in
terest, coupons receivable for taxes. Two
of the judges, Ewing and Deaderick, dis
sent from this decision. Judge Turney, in
delivering his opinion, said: One of the
granted fiat enjoining the funding
board. On its hearing, the Chancellor,
on his own motion, dismissed the bill, and
the complainant taxpayers appealed. The
argument that the taxpayers are bound by
acts and words to pay, under existing laws,
the debt with per cent interest, and
therefore can sustain no injury from COM
pulsion to pay interest and therefore ought
not to complain, cannot savail in the courts.
The debtor may ask the Intervention of the
courts to prevent the enforcement Ill part
of the agreement to pay, as well as the
whole. If, when the act is complete or ex-
ecuted, and the contract is being directly
enforced, the tax payer may resist
it. There is no reason why we may
strike it at the threshold and destroy its
half grown life The Legislature is the
creature of the Constitution. Its act is a
nullity and being nuliity, is not the au-
thorty of the State, The Constitution is
the work of the people, and can be changed
only by the people Finally, the act being
unconstitutional this suit against officers
brought into being by it, is not a suit
against the officers of the State, but is suit
against citizens assuming to commit a
wrong and may be sustained.

of the decisions by the Supreme
Court yesterday in the State debt
case, and had so instructed our able
correspondent at Nashville It will
be seen, however, by reference to his
dispatch this morning, that the opin-
ions cover three hundred legal

he doubtless found it impossible to
make satisfactory synopsis in time
for this issue of the CHRONICLE, and
this will account for the meagreness
of our dispatch. Can it be that the

much speaking to confuse and con-
