4 ’ FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 19th — PIPE A phan ond ABRAHAM LINCOLN. ; FOR VICE PRESIDENT. “ANDREW STOHUNSON: Tut SPectaa Cowrnact Act.— The “highest judicw! tribunal of the State has “passed upon the Special Contract Law— declaring it constitutional. A perusal of the decision of the Court upon this question would convince any man of the loyalty of the Judges, and a cureful survey of the arguments by which the position of the Court 1a_ established will force.an unprejudiced mind to. the conclusion that the decision iscalculated to promote justice, and further, that it is not in contravention of any national law. The decision of the Supreme Court is full and final. We should not attempt a defense of it were it not for the fact that the Democratic Press, Marysville Express and other copperhead joureals asseverate that . the decision places the State in a position = , tender antagonistic to the Government. Nor is thie all. Many Union men appear. to entertain thé opinions enunciated by those pay pers. The case involving the covstitutionality of this law was that of Carpentier vs Atherton. It wae appealed from the-TFwelfth—District Court which affirmed the law to be constitutional. Defendant had given a note promising to pay a certain amount in gohi coin. When due he tendered the amount in greenbacks which plaintiff refused to receive and commenced auit fur the recovery of gold coin, ~Judginent was given in favor of plaintiff, and defendant appealed the case pron Supreme Court affirms the decision the Court-below,. and very. diatinctly declares “that the law is constitutidnal-and that contracts under it must enfurced by the Courts. The opini was written by. Judge Curry and concurred in by Rhodes and Shaf» ter, and an able supplementary opimon, writs ten by Sawyer, is alan given, _ Probably no decision ever rendered by the _ Courts of this State is of such immense importance ae thie, becuase the fiaunces of the entire State are affected by it. ‘The uncertainty in the public mind before the question wae settled by the Sapreme Court, prevented eapitaliste from loaving their money upon the best securities. Now that the question is sestled we may Jook for amvre flourishing condition of things in this Stute. We propusé'to give some of the grounds upop which the decisiva of the Supreme Court ie based. By the laws of Congress the courttry is furnished with three kinds of woney, gold, silver afd United States nutes. Mouey made by the coinage of gold and ailver ie a legal tender preacribed by law, and gteenbucks dre neo made, by virtue of alaw passed by the National Congress, a legu! Congtess required certain obligations, imposed upon citizens, to be discharged'by the payment. of coin. The enin ne. cessary for this purpose cannot be obtained, unless payment is made in that kind of money. Judge Sawyer, in his able opinion, gaye: ‘Neither, so far ae we have been enabled to discover, bad * there ‘been any” restriction placed upon thé cupacity or right of parties to contract with reference te these sever), kinds of curtency, or te other speciea of property, other than is hef@inafter specified. On the contragy, the law expressly recogniges contracts fur the dehvery of gold coin.” He cites.» law. of Congres, passed March 3d, a which recognizes the validity of such cuntracts and regulates the mode of making them. Abdther law'of Congress 18 algo cited, au. thoriztng the Secretary ot the Treasury to redeive deposits of gold coin and bullion with the Treasurer and Assistant Trensurer of the United States; in suths not fess than twenty dollars, and issue cirtifcates therefor inideminatiotie of not less than twenty dollars each, correaponding with the dvnominations of United States notes. The ool and bullion deposited for or representing the certificates of deposits to befretained in thé treastry for the paymeut of the aatie on demand, Upon this law Judge Sawyer mak’s the following comments: es “For the convenience of the pec ple,the of introducing into China thir"thederndims Government consents to become a depository of their coin) when desired by the owner; andupon ade ie authorized c ‘to the owner, payable in gold goin, The ‘ > boc = : t of gold coin the Treasurer issue & certificate of deposit for the pay Fs, ee pository of coin fur its citizens, if,was necesenty ty do ae other bankers oF persons receiving deposits deoenter into a contract to returo the deposit.m like funds. These into circulation in transactions. And why shuuld not a banker, in the absence.of. any law ot agora euch traneactions, receive gold coin on deposit, and when he has done so and issued 4 certificute showing the fact, and agreeing in consideration t¢ to repay the same in gold oa ae to be why should not patty whu hue borrowed gold_on the faith of hie agtrementto return the loan in-tike kind, be required to perform hfa solenm ubligation f Guod faith and good morals demand it. No law prohibits it, or prohibits making such contracts; the Government hag made nv discrimination through the law-muking power in favor ut one kind of money against another. It makes such contracts itself with the citizen, and expresely recognites cuntracts between citizens for the purchase and sale of coin. * * * * Coin is lawful money. A party may lawfully pay hia debts in com. He may, at his election, waive his right to. payin anything else, either with or without cunsideration.— The only question is when he shall exercise his right to make his election or waive his privilege; and when he hus made bis election and inserted it as one of the essential terms and conditions of his contract, for a full at adequate consideration, there seems no good reasons in morals or public y why he should not be compelled te le by his election and the express tern ment. Such contracts then are valid.” That part of the decision in relation to coin contracts, concludes as folluws : ment to pny in coin 14 as much he consideration as the agreement at all, and the presumption is that an ple equivalent hws been received forthe promise. The partics, then, are. competent. to contract—the contract ia net against. publi¢ policy—it is not prohibited by law—is yayable in a lawful-kind of woney, and iaa uwful contract.” From the above extracts it will be seen that the Specific Contract Act is not in contruventien of the law of Congress making greenbacks legal tender, but in perfect h»rmuny therewith.

How Nature Covers vp BaTrieFie.ps.—" Did £ tell-you ever, among the affecting little things ene is always seeing ip these stirring war times, how I saw on the ‘Bull Run battle-field, penen pure, delicate flowers growing out of the empty ammunitien boxes, and « rose thrusting up its graceful head through the top of a Union drum, which doubtless sou _ its last charge in thet battle, and a cunning, scarlet verbena peeping out of a fragnient wf bursted shell, in which strange vase it had been plunted ? Wasn't» that — growing outof war? Even so shell the graceful and beautiful ever grow out of the horrid and terrible things that transpire in this changing but ever ad~ vancing world. :! Nature covers even the battle grounds with verdure and bloom. Peace and plenty spring up in the track of devouring campaigns, and all things in Nature and society ehall work out the progress of mankind.” Huw Tom Losr Hts SuHeer.—An old farmer in ‘Tennessea sent bis son ‘Tom to Memphis with a flekiof sheep to sell. Tom ‘sold the sheep and got the money, but falling in company with some “sports” who had the prpecee of mind to hold better bands than did, he was “cleaned out.” Tom went home, but avoided the old man. He hie mother, however, of what had befailen him. and she teok the news as gently as she could to the master of the manor and-of the sheep pasture. The old man raved, and Tom very judiciously continued to keep out of the introdue ced. they became quite merry. This was Tom's unity. He fushed inte the room, ng four “kings” in his haad,. and exclaimed : “Father would ® hand as that 1” Bet? Guess I would. I'd bet every cent. what became at the eheep. The uther feller had four aces!" ‘dts The old man waa epeechices.
