It is nmnsiug to witness the nvidity with
which the npposiliun press now nud then cn'.cli
up on out-of-the-way decision ogninst the con

gress, or tho shifting, tw istihg and evasion they
resort to for tho purpose of warping or pervert

ing tho question, to the support i f their cranky
crotchet! and partisan prejudice!. Overlook
ing, or ignoring the great current of uulhority
and judicial decision in support of the ooneti
tutiunnlity of the Act, they industriously pa
rade these sporndio instances nf judicial blind
ness or eccentricity ns something important
final the end of controversy,
A Into number of the Arena is an illustra
tion of I Ilia k nil of misleading and false color
ing. In it there ia a notice of two decisions
aid to concern greenback!. They nre an
nounced with a sort of funeral, pntt-niorteiii
air, at much at to tny : All me ! a serious cafe
all it up w ith poor legal leaden.
One ol these decisions professe to have been
mado by the Supreme Court of some State out
West Indiana, wo believe. If this he true,
we think that hereafter the final a should be
dropped from the nnmo of the reports, or a
commercial dictionary placed in tho Stale Li
brary, (handy to the couit-rnnin.) nilh a leaf
turned down nt the nriicle, Money. This case,
according to the report in the Arena, actually
decidei thit the Act of C'ougrets it ununusti
t tit ion m I . for reasons given us plenty nt black
beriiei, nud uliout nt cheap ami cogent. But
of this more anon.
The second decision quoted by the A'cna is
introduced to the curia populi, ns " nn iitipur
laut decision in reference to legal lender notes.'
It was ninde by Mr. Justice Grier. of the Su
picnic Court of the United Slates, while silting
ill the Circuit Court nt Philadelphia. The
paragraph, by whomever manufactured, was
evidently intended to convey a false impression
to the public, rather than a report nf the case
The statement that the decision w as import
ant " in reference to legal tender notes," is
wholly untrue, nnd was uiauiifncliir d for ef
feet, to breed a doubt, which might in lime la
conic nn anti-greenback maggot. The stale
meiit itself slums that the decision was not
about or in reference to greenbacks at all.
The result must have lie. n the same if tin
plaint iff in the tail had proffered to pay gold
simply because be was not seeking to pay a
J i hi, but In compel the defendant to sc'l anil
relinquish to him no interest in real estate
against his will. A word of explanation will
make litis apparent to nuy one. In the At
Ian iu towns settled in the colonial times, as for
example Philadelphia, the proprietors, iu imi
tation of I In laws and customs of England,
granted ground to individuals u illiout price, or
at a nominal one, reserving to themselves nml
their heir nil interest in the properly to lu
poid aa an annual rent forever. This it called
a rent charge or service, und i- popularly known
as ground rent. The law deem it an interest
springing out of the land and purlaking of the
nature of the really, anil it is governed by the
law which regulate, the tale nnd descent of
real property. When a year's rent becomes
due, it is a debt can he collected by action
and paid in any money which is a legal tender
for debt generally. But. in llio case before
Ilia eonrt, the pluiitiilT -might In compel the
defendant to relinquish, to tell to him this in
terest in the laud f r a present sum ol money.
Thi being the case, the court very properly
held lb 't this rent tonrce or olinrgo win not a
debt, but only became so yenr by year ni the
annual payment becamo dvmandable, and
therefore "the defendant could nut be com
pelled to relinquish his estate by a tender of
legal tender notes," and neither could he by a
tender of gold or any other thing. A parallel
case may be stated thus: June and Ilodgeure
neighbor farmer ; June want llodge'a farm,
and tenders him a fair price for it in legal ten
der ante, but Ilndge says. No, I don't want to
ell. Then June! aaminenue a suit in Equity
to compel the obdurate Hodge to part with his
paternal acres to him. Join s. The court huv
ing heard the old proverb, that "it lakes two
In make a bargain," and well kunwiug that
I lodge cannot be compelled to sell hi larm
against hit will, dismisses the suit nnd so it
would il Jouet had tendered gold. But straight-
'way t line unscrupulous paper-blotter reports
lliu case nt gone against greenbacks legal
teinler notes refused. And tile lying report is
picked up by the npposiliun press, ami heralded
to the world as something iiupur ant " iu refer
eneo to legal tender note." The oase has
uliout ns much to do with the constitutionality
of the Legal Tender Note Act as it has with
the precession of the equinoxes or the eitruo
lion of the cube root.
The Indian or Indiana ca-e, if genuine, Is a
green oasis iu the anti greenback waste. It
decides the nut llncooslllolional. hut, not coil
tent with ill ileal h. it full to cursing the con
gressiouul corps like A very drub. Mud the
court ever hud the pleasure of rending the eo
elesia.-lnal curse id Eruolphii. the Bishop of
Rochester, it might have mldcd variety to it
vituperation, but not renown. This judicial
amithemn of the Legal Tender Act, rays, il
makes legal tender money of an art ele w iilmut
intrinsic value not coin t it impairs the obli
gation of contracts; it operates ns a fraud npou
the public creditors nnd holiest public servants:
it eiiablei- thetioieruiueiit to make forced loans
as oppressive a those of Chiiflet the First; it
lake from the ciliieo hi property ngniost hi
consent and without coinpensulinu to alt of
which the Arena responds heartily, auying,
thit " reasoning it certainly very forcible and
just." These so-onlleil rensom are (imply
round assertion and are completely answered
when a roundly denied. They are ull irrelev
ant to the enquiry, ami either uutrua iu point
of fnot or gross riaggc ration.
But atrip them of their mere denunciation
and rhetorical culoring, and then admit them
to be true for the take of the argument, doe it
follow that the Legal Tender Act i unconsti
tutional I Not by any menu. It is not ne
cessary that mossy have any Intrinsic value
At kuowu to the law, it i not property, hut
medium of exchange, and ill value is purely
arbitrary and conventional. Congress hat the
paver to make a gold coin of the intrinsic value
uf our eaglet or leu dollar piecet, legul ten
der for f 10.000, or even tvu timet that turn.
Money can at well be made of copper, lenther,
paper or Iron, a gold, and it value a money
depend purely upon tho ttaudurd Died by law,
and nut the intrinsic value of the material of
which it it fashioned. What material will beet
subserve the Interests of trade and commerce,
and inpport the public, credit, i a juesllou of
policy and not of power a question fur Con
gress and not the Court. Uarbaruu people
may be aai J to havo Ho money the emi-bar-liiiroui
dm batter Md precloui ok tat, while
civilized people mainly use paper lie ney. In
the latter category, wo incl tie tho I'ttited
Stales, nnd the real controversy teem In be
whether that paper money shall be a national
currency nr Indian we beg pardon Indiana
shiiiplasters. We suppose the Courl is fur the
latter.
I'lie States only nre prohibited from passing
lau t impaling the obligations of contracts, not
the United Mates. Providing the end sought
to be accomplished, to make money, be within
the power of Congress, it effect upon contract!
is i tn n i ri t c-r i ii 1 except nt a mutter of public pol
icy. Tho court seemt to have got hadly ustrny
upnn this ground of its decision.
All the other reasons of the court 8io only
variations of one proposition, namely, that the
in t nn) net inn of legal tender notes, has affected
the standard. of values iu favor of the debtor
nnd against the creditor. But how duet that
affect the cmialitulinimlity of the act? A buys
f 1. 01,0 worth of cotton cloth of B, and gives
him hit note for the ninoniit payable- in six
month. Iu the meantime Congress imposes a
duty upon cotton chilli which enhances the
value 25 per cent. B leccives hit money, but
ho cannot replace the cloth with the amount.
It the act imposing the duty thereon unconsti
tutional ? The war has created a necessity
for large government expenditures, which ne
cessarily mcreasei the volume uf the currency,
and this together with the gieat diversion t l
labor to tho arm to tome extent enhances
prices. A dollar w ill buy lest than it once did.
The debtor may meet hit engagement! easier
than he expected to, und relatively the creditor
receive! lesi. How docs that affect the con
stitutionality of tho legul tendir act I With
no mure legal tender notes than there were
bank notes, then there would he no change iu
this particular, except for the better, iu the
greater security und uniform value throughout
the country of the latter over the former.
Fluctuations in price occur incidentally from
all kinds of legislation, und this without refer
ence to any particular kind of money In ing au
thorized, but tlie aiiioiint of it. The power to
authorize legal lender notes is involved ill the
issue of the first, w hile the amount proper to
lie put in circulation must iilnuys remain a
question nf public policy or expediency, or
even necessity. Tlie relative value of money
and articles Would be jus' a liable to change

Between the discovery of gold in California in
iS mid I l.i- panic ol )8.'i7. owing In tlie con
t mil. il infiali n of the iiirieucy by the loiimge
of gold, every thing luuikctaMo rose steadily
iu value, to the ndvuiilage of the debtor and
tlie disadvantage of the creditor. Did this
make the law authorizing the gold coinage uu
cousiiliilioiial I When the United Slates de
dared war against Mexico, an nverage pale
red ox could be bought in the Platte Purchase
for ten dollars. The great expenditure of
money occasioned by the war, nud particularly
in that region, sent tint p:ile red ox up to forty
dollar. Now, sopposu A hud bought such a
"cow brute" from B before the w ar commenced,
and given his note payable in ten years for the
purchase money. When this note became
due, A could sell the ox and pay the note with
one-fourth of the price. In other wnrd lie
would pay tho note with mie-foorlh of what he
expected to, nud B would relatively receive
tliut much lesi than lie coiitempbiled. With
the proceed of tho time he could then only
liny oiie qnnrler of a pale red ox. Would this
make the act declaring w ar imcoiisiilulioiial.ainl
the noiiseipieut acquisition of California void 1
Hardly. Such n conclusion, in o ninny words.
Would be too much for even the Indiao-n Su
preme Court, though in principle it differs not
ti jot or n little from the last position, upon
which the decision it did make is placed. This
dispose! of the Iloosier case. It sounds mure
liku n slump speech, a political niaiiifeslo, or
something of that kind, than n judicial de
cision. The broad blunder about the "ublign
tiuu of contracts'' betrays au ignorance of the
fudnmcutul law in the premises, worthy only
uf Justice Shallow. We sometimes doubt
whi ther the Supremo Court of Indiana ever
passed any suuh resolutions a those attributed
lo it iu tho Arena. It may bo that tlie same
knavish pen which attempted the perversion oi
Justice Grier' decision, ha mado this para
graph entire. If it should turn out so, we w ill
withdraw our criticism cheerfully.
And now a word in conclusion. Some well
informed people may think it labor wusled lo
write uliout such duff us we have been criticis
ing ami exposing. We think differently. Tlie
power and endurance of this Government, is
linked to the fate of lit currency. To this
point is directed the allack of lit enemies,
open and secret. They know that ut tin y can
tiling greenbacks into disiepute, iu that pro

To any one who remembers with what bit
terness the rebel papers have heretofore de
nounced anything that looked like a tendency
or desire on the part of the Southern people to
return to their humor relations with the "Yan
kees," some of their recent uttcran .es aro to a
great degree amusing. One of their lending
journals in Richmond, the Examiner, at w e
nre iuluriued by a lute dispatch, says that
lather than unite with 'France, England or
Maximilian, it would favor a Union with the
North, nnd 'then juci nn to say, in rather n
boastful way, what a mighty nation we would
lie, and how we uoild kuuck nil the scheims uf
those foreign natiois into "pi." We think the
Examiner has ceriaiu'y hit the truth, though
tiu-se remarks iliffrr widely from the "last
ditch " it and its cotemporaiie have been
preaching for the last four year. They have
Ireqneutly declared that they would become
tlie associates or even the slave! uf any power
on earth, rather than live again iu Union with
the detested Yankees.
But we suppose tlu so quill driving champi
ons of Southern rights arc not striclly to blame
for this cliunge iu l he spirit of their dreamt.
It very frequently happens that families on
whom i lie logic nf fuiird nrgi.ment hat no ef
fect, are brought to their si-uses by the logic of
events. When we told Ibeiu on the initiation
of their mail scheme that Union was necessary
In strength, and that the loyal North would not
allow the division of n nation whose existence
and prosperity depended upon its unity, they
couldn't tee it in that light." They utterly
failed lo see it iu that light to long nt nn im
becile remained in command of our army, nnd
their guerrilla horde were nblo to niulio an
nual expeditions acrot the Polomao and es
cape nilh the spoils of our plundered farms
ami cities. But when "Pap Price" and hi
thieve hare failed to subjugate Missuuri:
when their army is utterly demolished in Ten
nessee nod iht Hunt State passes from
their control ; when Sherman passed through
their territory without opposition, und Savan
nah submits and decline herself a loyal city;
when Mobile and all the region bordering on
the Gulf are cut oil from communication with
Richmond ; when Charleston is beleaguered
ami Wilmington v.ithin our grasp, and Grant
refuses to let go his hold on their chief city,
then the scales fall from their eyei and these
men nre aldu to tee w hat a mighty nation we
would be if we weru united. They uro now
able to "tee men u tree walking," nud wo
thick it reasonable that a few more well di
rected blows will to fur open their eyes that
they will sea themselves as others tee them, nud
uct accordingly.
They once told their "pense" friends of tho
North thnt if they associated with them they
would have to "hold their noses;" but they
now think they would bo willing to twiin along
side the applet, nnd that they nnd the npple
together would lie a match fur John Bull, Na
poleon, Maximilian "or any other man." We
are sure the npple will have uo objection, pro
vided they give good evidence of penitence,
nud we think these feeble utterance! are tigni
of reluming reason which should inspire, u
with hope for their final conversion. A few
more gleam of light, and the Southern people
will be redeemed fi mil thraldom. With their

THE lAQlT.U BAY MATT bit.
En. Statesman: I notice in tho-Corvnllis
Gazelle of 21st iust. n very fiery appeal to the
people i.f Million couiny, upon the subject of
liiqnimi Hay. I lie editor reiert to n coiniiiu
nicalion liuhlislied in the Stuteiman of 2d iust..
over the signature of " Emigrant," nnd culls
Ihe ii 1 1 1-1 1 1 ii in ot the directors ol the laquuia
Hay lioad particularly to the matter therein
continued.
1 had Mid Ibis coiiitnuiiiention nnd regarded
it ns ullngeilier oniiuporlaiit, and. as coming
from one who knew iiolhiug concerning the
mutter ol which he was writing, und Hint he
only desired lu get a little notoriety by writing
for "n public journal. But, insomuch a the ed
itor of the -Gazelle hat taken it upon bunsell
tu notice', nud call the nlteuliou of the public
to il, I deem il but justice tu myself and others
to give it a brief notice
Emigrant " starts nut iiy saying thnt the
Oregon Transportation (Jnuipuiiy were alone in
sirniiieutal iu seeiirinff the location of the lies
creation, Including the SilelZ and Yaquiim
Bays, fur the express purpose ol shutting out,
for nil time to come, commercial intercourse
through this channel, that they might monopo
bze the whole carrying trade, aud gobble ni
the iiibslaiice of the people by exoihitaut rates
of Hire nud Ireilit.
If this, he says, is not the case, why is to
much exertion being made, and in so lillle pre
text, to prevent the public from using Ihe buy?
And again, he says, w hy in it that the Indian
Agent gives himself so lunch trouble about the
presence of certuiu persons on tho buy, while
other uro nl. owed In reman and carry on the
oyster trade to San I- ranclsco Willi Impunity I
Now, in the first place, " Emigrant " should
be, if he i not, nshained of hi impudence aa
well ut Ins ignorance, in stating inch linn faced
falsehoods. Does not everybody know that tho
Siletz Reservation wo established long before
inch a company ns the Oregon Transportation
Company was organized, or even iu cm Icin
ulutioii I nnd that th- y had as little to do with
il location ni they had in fixing tho circuit uf
the moon ; nnd, so far a the Agent Is concern
ed in connection w ith the company in keeping
the bay ol Ynquinn cnnculed. the whole thing
is a stupid mid unjust fabrication, lie has
acted iu accordance with law and instruction
from the Commissioner of Italian Affair. I
would suggest to ' Emigrant " that it might be
ns well for hun In w rite lo Lominissioner Uole,
and enuuiru if he has not been paid by the Or
egon Triliisportntiou Company to keep the
Yuqiiina Bay concealed. I hare un doubt the
C inissiouer would line to near iroin mm
According to instructions, die oyster beds in
Yuqiiina liny were leased or rented to Winaut
oC Un., ol Mail l-ranci-'co, giving mom me ex
elusive rijilit In take ovslers for a given time,
iu consideration for which the Agent bus al
ready taken iu. nud accounted lo the Govern
incut for. over $.(MX) iu coin.
I do not make these statement in answer tn
the ignorant nud false accusation of " Emi
grant," but simple that the public may know
tlie truth iu regard to a matter, uhoul which
there is so much said.
In reference to ihe insinuations coming frum
the editor of the Ontetle, I must say 1 mil not
a lillle nn prised. I bud regarded him a a man
of too much uncerity nnd honesty to make such
unjust nud unwarrantable insinuations. It
would seem thnt he i trying to excite the peo
ple of Heiiloo coouly against the Indian De
partment, by telling llo-in Mint they weie de
prived of their right limply to bent-lit a few
lazy, fillliv Indian, who may occasionally c:. lull
a lish in Ynq una Bay. He goes on totiiy that
unless there I smoothing done soon, more di
rect than in Ihe whispering iiiiiuner in which it
has been done heretofore, the people of Benton
county should take ihe matter into their own
hands. Now if tho editor is sincere iu this
mutter, would it not be well for him in inform
the President uf il iiiiiiiediiilely. so that some
thing could be done lo avert another reliellioo I

with Long Tom on one side nud Soap Creek
on ihe oiher. Oh don t !
He knows that this Reservation wn estab
lished in accordance wilh law, nnd in good
Itntli on the part of Ihe Government ; nnd (hat
those " lazy, filthy Indian " he speak of. were
brought llieie, anil promised ihe ezulusive right
to the toil, fisheries, and all other privilege be
longing to that Reservation. And it is a much
the duty of the Supcnnlondcut of Indian Af
fair nnd llio Agent iu charge, lo protect them
iu those right as if they were a illuslrmu and
intelligent a Ihe editor of the Gazette. Il i
true Hint Ihe Superintendent and Agent have
leilli. long since, asked to have those Indian
treated with and removed from the Yaquina,
n a lo open il lor while tetllement, and It ha
not been done in that " whispering " manner
that ha been intimated by the editor of the
Uazelle', and I only nave to reler the puhlic
lo the published report of the Superintendent
on that subject, to confirm what 1 say. And I
will hero say lo the distinguished (!) editor,
before mentioned, that it would be well lor him
to keen cool, aud not advise the people of Ben
ton coouly to tecede, ereu if the Government
should fail lo comply with their wishes for a few
