EJUors Democrat: Getxemkn: In your issue "of Jan. 21, 1870, appeared a communication dated Jan. 11, and signed "Smith," in winch tho author vented his spleen against my wife, Rosa Martin, and a lecture delivered in this city by a spirit through her organism, Jan. 9, 1870, in a manner that evinces his utter disre gard for truth and a coarse valgarity that is insulting to the xublic eye. His description of her person and style of oratory is too contemptible to merit a reply, but his assertion that "she crucifies grammar with a reckless ness that is refreshing," he would do well to profit by, as will appear by the following quotation from tho aforesaid communication: "By .the way, has it occurred to you how singularly fitting it is that Henry "Ward Beecher should be the chirftiU figure in the latest of sensational nastiness ?" By referring to Pinneo, p. 18G, Bullion, p. 20, Kirk ham, p. 77, and Clark, p. 103, "Smith" may learn something to Lis advantage in the use of adjectives that will put to blush his former c:r.xerience in gram mar. Again, he asserts: "She is of course a G reeley-Bcecher-Richard so'n-Bepub-lican. This assertion has no founda tion in any remarks made try her either publicly or privately, and is an unmit igated falsehood. ' Again: "And spoke out strongly for Chinamen." She - stated that there were persons of both, parties (Demo cratic and Bepublican,) who wero un tiring in public denunciation of the Chinese, but who would secretly em ploy them if their services could be se cured for a smaller compensation than that demanded by the white race; also, that there were persons who fiercely denounced the Chinese who were in debted to them for washing, ironing, &c., and that they never intended to pay them j and that' this was one of their motives for '' crying - oat, "Down with the Chinamen!" ;Nowif "Smithy can conscientiously apply these, cases to himself, his irritability is not to be wondered at. - ' Again, he writes: "I take her, to bo very ignorant." This is egotism gono to seed. r Again: "She asserted that Confucius wrote just as good philosopy as f ever Christ wrote." ' This is another mis representation, for she said that Con fucius ia ugJU doctrines similar; to those Christ tau ejlit which "assertion tho learned ."Smith" may contradict - if, it tickles his vanity or will conduce, in any way, to Ins notoriety as an histon cal wiseacre.

THE SHOOTING OF VICTOR NOIR BY PRINCE ' - ': n ' BONAPARTE.' !. ' ' I Paius, Jan. 10 Evening. This afternoon M. Fouvillo ami M. Victor Noirof tho editorial staff s of the MansrUlniw,- Itochofort's - journal, proceeded to tho residence -of Princo Pieri'o Bonamrte, as seconds in a con templated duel between tho Princo and Pasal Grousset, an editor of that journal. ;They had an interviow with tho Princo, during which an alterca tion took placo. The- Princo -became enraged and seizing a revolver fired twico upon his visitors. Ono of the phots took effect in tho body of Victor Noir, killing him instantly. . , t-t Tho tragedy causes great agitation in tho city. : ., ,? k .:,t( Princo Bonaparto has ;, delivered himself up to tho authorities. ; , ;j Ixi Mareillaie also publishes, tvp days aftenrard, tho following state ment of M. do Fouveillo : "On tho 10th day of January, 1870, at ono o'clock, Victor Noir and my self repaired tiho residence of Princo Pierre Bonaparte, No. 59j ltuo d'An tbuil. "Wo were commissioned by 31. Pascal Grousset to demand of Prince Pierre Bonaparto tho reason for inju rious articles against 31. Pascal Grous set, published I'Avcnir de la Corn. Vn o handed our cards to two ser vants who stood at. tho door, and who ushered us into a small parlor on tho ground floor at our right hand. After a few minutes wo wero conducted up stairs to tho first floor, passed through a fencing room, and finally entered a drawing room. A door opened and M. Picrro Bo naparto entered. We advanced to wards him and tho following words passed between us : - "Sir, wo come, on behalf of M. Pascal Grousset, to deliver a letter to vou." . "You aro not come, then, on behalf of M.- llochefort, and you aro not tools of hi?" "Sir, wo aro hero on other bustncf a. and I beg vou to look at this letter." I handed him tho letter. Ho ap proached a window to read it. Ho read it, and, after crushing it in his hands, ho returned towards us. "I havo provoked 31. llochefort," said he, "lwause, ho is the standard lcarer of tho rabble. As for M. Grousset I havo no reply to mako to him. Aro you tho representatives of these carrion (c chnrjtw)t" "Sir," I answered, "wo como to you to fulfil loyally and courteously tho commission entrusted to us by our friend." "Areyou tho representatives of these wretches?" Victor Xoir replied, "Wo aro tho representatives of our friends." Then, suddenly advancing a step, and without provocation on our part, Prince Bonaparte Mapped victor 2mt with his left hand, and nt the same time drew a revolver of sir ehamlcrH, which he had concealed in his pocket, already eweked, ami fired upon Noir with the muzrlo pi the putol close to urn. Noir staggered, pressed l.wth hands on his breast, and sank down in the doorway by which we had entered. The cowardly assassin then turned upon me and fired. I, then seized a small pistol, which I had in my pock et, and while I was endeavoring to free it from the sheath tho wretch nis?aed on me, but when ho saw that I was armed he retreated, stood behind tho door and aimed at me. It was then that comprehending the ambush into which wo had fallen, , and reflecting that if I fired there would not be wanting those who would say that wo had Ixjen the aggressors, I opened a door which was behind me and rushod out, crying, "Murder!" As I went out a second shot followed and again passed through my coat. la the street I found Is our, who had had strength to descend tho stairs, and who was dead. , , , , ' Those aro tho facts, just as thev transpired, and I look for prompt and exemplary justice for this crime. , ' ; ULr.IC DE i OUVEHXE. : Princo Bonaparte's version ; of tho unfortunate afiair is furnished to tho journals by Paul Cassagnac. He says tho Prince made the following state ment to him on his honor :."M. Fouveillo and 31. Victor Noir como to my residence with a menacing air. with their hands in their pockets, and presented a letter from 31, Pascal Grousset.' ' -' ; V ;' I ; - ; v I said, "It is llochefort, and not his creatures, that I seek. J r, a: "Read the letter, replied Noir, , 1 Had my Hand on my pistol - m my pocket 'Aro you rcsponsiblo for - it?" asked : ,': ' !!: ' j - At this I received a slap in tho faco from Noir, when I 'drew; my revolver and fired at him. - - --- - : ! Fouveillo crouched behind a! chair , and from the protection that afforded aimed his revolver at mo, but ho could not get it to go oil.' ,, m ; ? ,-? u. I fired at him while ho was in that position, when he ran out ft tho room. He stopped in tho next rooilt and again turned his pistol toward mo. I fired at him again and; lib fled."

The Journal OJJicicl, in its account of the Bonaparte shooting transaction, says tnat tno Minister of Justice, as soon as he heard of the affair, ordered the arrest of tho Prince but uvo hours beforo the issuance of ..the order he had surrendered himself into , tho custody of the "Commissioner , of.

He said ho had no intention of creating trouble ; ho wished simply to do away with unlawful exceptions. 3I. Henri fltochefort referred in bitter terms to tho murder of Victor Noir. Ho said Noir was ono of the eople, and the people should judge ii murderer, who, though cousin to tho" Emperor, must bo allowed to .31. Ollivier, in reply, promised that they should havo justice. In tlie courso of his speech ho used these words : " Wo are justice, law, moder ation ; if you force ua wo will bo power." A communication from tho Procurer Imperial was laid beforo tho Chamber, demanding the arraignment of Deputy Henri llochefort for outrage against tho Kwf ror, and for exciting disorder and violence. The demand was referred to a com mittee, -j',.- It is reported that 31.

Chicago, Feb. 8. Tho opinion of tho Supremo Court on the legal tender question is a very long and able view of the case. Justice Chaso says no lody fpicHtions tho constitutionality, and not many fpicstion tlio expediency of tho act bv which currency notes tavo been authoiized in recent j'cars. Doubt exists as to tho power of Con gress to declare thcao notes legal ten der in payment of pre-existing debts. Tho only ground upon which this pow er is asserted is not that tho issue of notes was appropriate and plainly adopted as tho means for carrying .''on tho war, for that is admitted, but that tho making of cthem legal tender to tho extent mentioned was such means. Justico Chase proceeds to argue tho question whether making tho notes le gal tendeis really added anything to meircreuii or usciuiness. Jio says the history of legislation shows that ho relianco for tlieir circulation was originally placed in tho rcccivability and not in tho quality of tho legal ten der notes, because the receivability clauso appears in tho original draft of he bill, while tho legal tender clauso was introduced at a later stage of ; its progress. Jio tilings it by no means certain that tho depreciation of tho notes would bo less if tho Government pledged the holder its power to : com pel his creditors to . receive them at par in payment. If the ? quantity to jo issued bo uncertain and tneir ro- lemption fixed at a remotb, period, great depreciation' would tako placo, but if tho quantity only equalled the demands of business, and confidence in their redemption bo strong, tho notes will circulate freely, whether made leefal tender or not. If it is ad mitted that some increase of availabil ity is dcrivod from making tho notes a leal tender under new contracts, it does not follow that any appreciable advantage is gained by compellincr creditors to receive them in satisfao- tion of inc-exisung debt, ino opin ion pbiuts out the evils of an irredeem able paper currency. He thinks mak- inf? tnem legal tenner wiuens tneir ex r i T1 n t H ii I tontJ protracts their continuance and ho cannot allow, therefore, that such expedient is the appropriate and plain ly adapted means for tho execution Tof power to carry, on tho war. But there is another vie w, by which it appears nothing prohibited by or inconsistent with tho spirit of tho Constitution can bo regarded as appropriate, plainly adapted or really calculated ; moans to any such end. After a careful inqui ry ho arrives at , tho conclusion that making bills of credit a legal tender; applicable to pre-existing contracts is inconsistent with tho spirit and detter of the Constitution, which forbids leg islation impairing tho obligation of contracts, and prohibits tho taking ; of private property for public use without compensation. It also declares that no person shall bo, deprived of life liberty or property without due; pro cess of . law. An act which compels creditors who, hold contracts for pay ment in specw to '' acoept enrrency o '-.'. L If 1 . inferior value in payment thereof, do prives such persons of property with out duo process of law. It is difiicul to perceive what act would tako prop crty without duo process of. daw if such an act would not. An act which makea men promise to pay dollars in legal tenders for tho payment of debts previously contracted is not ,a means appropriate, plainly, adapted or roally calculated to carry into effect any ex press power granted to Congress, though it is not 'surprising nmid iho tumult of civil war, under apprehen sions for tho safety of tho Ilcnublic, a different view was entertained by Amer ican statesmen, and was adopted by many. Tho timo was not favorable for considerate reflection upon tho constitutional limits of tho Legislative or Executive authority, but tho power was assumed from patriotic motives, and tho asBumption found ready justifica tion in patriotic hearts. But many who then acquiesced in viowjof our necessity since tho return of pcaco in calmer times havo considered their opinions, and now concur in tho views hero announced, that tho legal tender act can not apply to xn-existing con tracts. "-- - , J . , ; . ' f. I i Judge 3Iillcr, after arguing tho caso at great, length, says tho , legal , tender clauses were placed in tho bill reluct antly and with hesitation," and only after tho irapcrativo necessity of it had Kcn demonstrated. How tins neces sity alono could havo carried this uauso also proves clearly that tho ex istence ot that necessity refers to tho owcr of Congress to establish a sys- tern oi bankmptcy, tno essence oi which is to discharge debtors from tho obligation of pre-existing contiacts. He declares tho arguments too fine for lis perception ry which tho indirect effect of a new public racasuro in de- )reciating tho valuo of lands, stocks and bonds renders such a law invalid. rls to tho taking of. private property for public use, or depriving tho owner o it without duo process of law, thoso aws have lecn received as valid with almost universal acceptance, and paj'- ment, nas been made in icgai tenuers o tho amount of thousands of mil ions of dollars, though gold was the only lawful tender when tho debt was contracted. The two houses of Con gress, the President who signed tho bill, and fifteen btato Courts of last resort (being all but ono that have passed upon tho question), havo ex pressed belief in tho constitutionality of theso laws.! "With all this ercat weight of authority and this strong concurrence of opinion among thoso who havo passed upon tho question previous to our being called upon to decide it, whoso duty it was to pass upon it, in tho light of tho Constitu tion, we aro to reverse their action, bsturb contracts, and declare tho law void, because tho necessity for its en actment does not appear so strong to us now as it aid men to uonfrress. or so clear as it was to other Courts. Such is not my idea of tho relative functions of Legislative and Judicial Department of tho Government. "Where thcro is a choice means tho power of selections is with Gomrress not with tho Court. If tho act to bo considered is in any sense essential to tno execution oi acknowledged power that necessity is for tho Ix'gislatur, not lc any Court to determine. ti;lx;kaiiiic sujijiauy.
