Ion of the Supreme Court of the Unltod Statei deciding that legal tender treasury notes an bills are not legal tender for any debts exli ting at the time Ike set was passed, Tab. Si 1803. The ease was deoided la the Scprem Court by a bare majority, four In faror an three against the decision. Two addiUtm judges are soon to be appointed on the Sn prcino doucii, ana u iuuj vuvuuq wu? ioro? am onticj judges, Miiask, Swats* and 1>atii whioh U rery probable, then there will bo flv judge* in faror of the tonititatloaalii; of Ik Legal Tender Act and (bar against it, ao thi Tory aoon thing* may atand aa they war*. These aew questions that are ooaalng befoi the courts since the war, are joat aa liable t be decided ono way aa the other, by on judges, and the close division on the Leg* Tender Act is a proof of It. We so* ear Stat Judges continually differing en these ne< questions, and the Jadge is apt to ge aeoord ing to his feelings. If he ia liberal and pro greseiva in spirit, and a genuine aad tree rs publican in principle, (we mean of the old Jei fcrsonian school of republican ism aad of th purest of tbe new sohool,) he is most likely t sustain the liberal side of those oonstitntions questions. If hs is of the opposite oest c m ind and devoted to the mere letter of th law, and technical rales that wtre mado to fl a different stato of times, and different lawt then be will lean to the bard side of eTery nc question arising, and be disposed to exa< from the debtor " the pound of flesh," end t deliver him tightly bound to th* tormeutoi that may pursue him. In regard to th* Legal Tender Aet, stron arguments may be adduood on both side Congress has powor over the money matter and the regulation of the trad* end common of tbe whole country with foreign nations, an between the States, and whilst the Constiti tion does prohibit the States from makin any thing but gold, silver a legal ten do it does not prohibit Congress ; that body seen to have been left supreme on the queatioi Tbo exigencies of the oonntry in war, or float cial revolutions, might, and, as we think, dl justify the Legal Tender Act. Some say Cot gross has merely power to coin money, an regulate tbe value thereof, nod therefore ea not make atreasnry note, hut every one ea boo that Congress could, in regulating the va ne of coin, make its value just what it pleaae< and this way make a legal tender of less actc i mine ta gold or Mirer man ute treasur note. However, argument on theee question . is idle. The Daily Republican of Charleston pri Bounces the dissenting opinion of Justice Mi Xtn as much Stronger than that of Chief Jn tioe Ch as* and from the summary and extrac Which that paper gives of the arguments each, we are disposed to agree with the R publican. As this is an interesting question every body, we propose to republish In 01 next, the artiole and extracts to whieh > hare referred. Judge Mitxcx states in hi* dieeenlis opinion that the Supreme Courts of fiftes States out of sixteen States Courts that hue decided, have sustained the constitutional ty of the legal tender act of Congress. B ' ace how the one man majority of the Si premeCourt of the United States effec near forty Stales, millions of men and mi lioue of money. The destinies and fortuu< of many thousand families are determine by a crotchet in the brain of a single mai when that man makes a majority of tho St preme Court It is a greater power tba any constitutional monarch on earth posset ass?the power to turn the scales of justie effecting the multitudes of a great natio like the United States. Loom Napoleon Queen Victobia, the Emperor of Austria an the other monarehsof Europe, the Czar pe haps excepted, could not exercise ao ntuc power. The thing remarkable too is tin eight years have been suffered to elapse b< fore any thing was decided on the qusstio by the same court, and every body had a< qulsced in the legal tender act, and aettl inentr, judgments and innumerable monic transactions have been adjusted in contea plalion ot its validity. The Washingto correspondent of the Charleston Courier a firms that the twonew judgea nominated b President Grant, will turn the scales bac In favor of the legal tender act. Election of a Judge In Place of Judg Boozer. On Friday last, the Legislature of tb State, elected Col. Samuel W. Mri.ton Jndj of the 6th Circuit to All the place left vacai iij mo oonn 01 junge itoozES. in ere wei 1M vote* cut. Melton received 68 votes, . S. Mijriit 47. There were two er three othe candidates contending for the office, who re eeived from two to fire votes eecb. Coiom Melton is a men of fine talents end legs ability; of a fearless and independent spirit nd we presume will make a capital Judge.? 'The scene in the Senate, where the voting o the two Houses took place, is described a very exciting. Those who remember forme times, will be struck with the ehange of man ners as well as material in the Legislator body of this State. The announcement ef th< result of this election, says the eorresponden of the Charleston Courier, was followed b; loud cheering, and throwing up of ttats, Me by the friend* of Mr. Mklton. That gentle man was immediately surrounded and atasoi carried bodily out of the ball by bis friend A certificate of election was drawn, signed b the presiding oflieers aad clerks of bot branches, and aeut In to the Secretary < State's office, where Mr. Milton's eommistdr area made oat.
