The Boston Advertiser man sought to improre it thus : ' There wasa man with a velocipede, Wfaosakt, "I will not do so gross a deed As snake any fees j About horse-csr or 'bus, When I can ride my velocipede."

Subsequently, in January, 1866, there having been no demand of payment nor any appointment of a place of payj mentby Branson. Bhodes tendered to him United States notes for the amount of fif teen hundred and seven dollars, n sum nominally equal to the principal and in terest due upon the bond and mortgage. At that time one dollar in coin was equiv alent in market value to two dol lars and n quarter of United States notes. This tender was refused, here upon Bhodes deposited the United States notes in the Merchant's Bank to the cred it of Branson, and filed his bill in equity praying that the mortgaged premises might be relieved from the Hrn of the mortgage, and that Broiison might be compelled to execute and deliver to him an acknowledgment of the fall satisfaction and discharge of the mortgage debt.

It would be I tive. ddnbdeas to review (he history of coinage in the United States, and the suc cession of aUtates by which the weight, purity, form, and impression of gold and silver coins have been regulated, but it will be sufficient for oar purpose that We examine three only. 1 he acts ot April 2. 179$. of January 18, 1837. nod of March $, 1849. The act of 1793 eel lished n merit for tl o purpose of the na tional coinage. It was too result of very careful and thorough investigation of the whole subject, in which Jefferson aad Hamilton took the greatest part, and its general principles have controlled all sub sequent legislation. It provided that the gold of coinage, or standard gold, should consist of eleven parts fine and one part alloy, which alloy was to bo silver and copper in convenient proportions, but not exceeding one-half silver, and that the sil ver of coinage shonld consist of fourteen eighty five one hundredth parts fine, and one hundred and seventy-nine parte of allow whollv of Conner. The same art established the dollar as the money mint, and required that it should contain four hundred and sixteen grams of standard liver. It provided further for the coin age of half dollars, quarter dollars, dimes, and half dimes, also of standard stiver, and weighing respectively one-half, one quarter, one-tenth, and one-twentieth of the wright of die dollar. Provision was also made for a gold coinage, consisting of eagles, half eagles, and quarter eagles, and containing respectively two hundred and seventy, one hundred and iliii t y-li ve. and sixty -seveu hull grains of standard gold and being of the value respectively . , essj ? ruim y nr-'T -iijisr I ten dollar? , five doll.. and two half ollars. Theae eoiua were made n feral in all navments. accordin to their respective weights of gold and silver, If of full weight at their declared value, and it of less at , a proportionate value. And this regulation as to tender remained in full force until 137. The rule prescrib ing the composition of alloy has never been changed, but tbe proportion of alloy to pure gold and silver, and the absolute weight of coins have undergone soma' al teration, partly with a view to the better adjustment of the gold and silver circula tion to each other and partly for the con venience of commerce. The only change of sufficient importance to require notice is that made by the act' of 1637. That act directed that standard gold, and stan dard silver also, should thenceforth con sist of nine parts pure and one part alloy; that tbe weight of standard gold in the angle should be two hundred and fifty- eight grains, and ia the half eagle and quarter eagle, respectively, one-half and one-fourth of that weight precisely, am! that tbe weight or standard silver should be ia the dollar four hundred twelve and a half grains, and the half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, and half dime, exactly one half, one fourth, one tenth and one twen tieth of that weight. The act of 1849 authorised the coinage of gold double ea gles and gold dollar, conformably in all respects to tbe established standards, and therefore of the weights respectively of five hundred and sixteen grains and thir ty five eight tenth grains. The methods and machinery of coinage had been so im proved before the act of 1 837 was passed, that unavoidable deviations from toe pre scribed weight became almost inapprecia ble, arid the most stringent regulations were enforced to secure the utmost attain able exactness both in weight and parity of metal. In single coins tbe greatest de viation tolerated hi the gold coinage was half a grain in the double eagle and half eagle, and a quarto'; of a grain in the quarter eagle and gold dollar 2 and in tbe silver coinage, a grain and a half in the dollar, a grain hi the quurter dollar, and a half grain in the dime and half dime. Iu 1849 the limit of deviation in weighing in weighing large numbers of coin, on deliv ery by the chief coiner to the Treasurer, and by the Treasurer to, the depositors. was still further narrowed. With this and other precaution, against the emission of any piece inferior to weight or purity to the prescribed standard, it was thought safe to make the gold and silver dollars of tbe United States legal tenders in all pay ments according to their nominal or de clared value. This was done by the act of 1837. Some regulations as to the ten der for small sums of coin, of less weight and purity have been made, but no other provision than that made in making coin ed money a legal tender in all payments now exists npon the statute book. The design of all this minuteness and strict -nese in the regulation oftolosgo is easily' seen. It was doubtless the intention of the Legislature to give a sure guarantee h me people that the couss made current in payments contained too precise weight of gold or silver of the precise degree of purity declared by the statute.

Cvory such dollar ia a piece of fold or silver earthed la bo of tain weight and parity, , by form and impress given to it at the of the United States, aad, thsrafira. dared to boa legal lender hi payment, and any number of such dollars ia the number of grain, of standard gold silver in one dollar multiplied ky the given num ber. Payment of money is the delivery by one to another of the amnaal due. A contract to pay a certain number of dol lars in gold aad silver coins, if, therefore, in legal import nothing else than aa agreement to deliver n certain weight of standard gold to he ascertained by a count of coins, each of which ia sartii.rl to contain a definite proportion of that weight It ia net d is tiuguiabaklc, as wo think, in principle from a contract to de liver on equal weight, of bullion of equal fineness. It is distinguishable in caroosa- stance, lonly by the fact that the Sudani oney of the amount to be tendered in payment must be ascertained in the ease of bullion by asssv and the scales, while in the ease of coin it may bo aaosrtaiaen by the count. Wo cannot suppose that it was intended by the provisions of the currency acts - to enforce satisfaction of any contract by the tender of depreciated currency of any description, equivalent only iu nominal amount to the real value of the bullion on the coin dollars. . Our conclusion, then-font, upon this part of the ease is, that the bond under considera tion was in legal import precisely what it Was in U.o understanding ot the parties, warn ' lid iihllaJsaaala he eellawad bar sJaaawf wsmsafsja Mwsuvwmww map awumuuuugmuumumu WUfP ay der of actual payment according to its terms, ami not by an off- r of mere uomi uul payment. Arguments and illustm Units of much force and value in support of this conclusion might be drawn Man a -ii at . a a a. a n the possible case ot the repeal oi the legal-tender laws relation to coin and the consequent reduction of coined money to the legal consideration of bullion, and also from the octal condition of partial de monetization to which gold and silver money was reduced by the introduction into circulation of the United Slates notes and national ban k currency. But WO think it , pimeceasary to panne this breech of tho subject farther, nor do wo think it ne cessary to examine the question whether the clauses of the csrreitcy act making United States notes n legal tender are warranted by the Constitution, in case; but wo will psoaeed 'to inquire whether upon the assumption that those clause, arc so warranted, and upon t he rurtln r assumption toot engagements to pay coined dollars may ha regarded as ordim ry contracts to pay money rber than as contracts to deliver cert .. a mounts of standard gold, it can be main tained that a contract to pay coined mon ey may be satisfied by a tender of United Bute's notes. Is this n performance of the contract within tho true intent of tho acts t It must be observed that the laws for the coinage of gold mid silver hare never been repealed or modified. They remain on the statute book in full force, and the emission of gold and silver com from the Mint continues; tho actal coin age during the last fiscal year having ex. needed, according to tbe report of the Di rector of the Mint, 19,000,000; nor have the provisions of tho law. which make these coins a legal tender in all .payments, boon repealed or me ailed, m fellows that there were two descriptioooof money in use at the limn the sender under con sideration waa made, both authorized by law. and both made legal tender in pay ments. The general denomination of both descriptions was "dollars," but they were essentially unlike in nature. Tan coined dollar was, as wo have aeon, a piece of gold or silver of a prescribed de gree of purity, weighing a proscribed number of grains; the note dollar was a promise to pay a coin dollar, but it was not a promise to pay on demand, nor at any fixed time, nor was it in fact, oou vertihle into a coin dollar. It was impos sible in the nature of things that-these two dollars should bo tbe actual equiva lents of each other, nor was there any thing in the currency acts purporting to make them such. How far they were at that time from being actually equivalents luu been already stated. If then, no ex press piovisi in to the contrary oe round in tho acts of ( ongresg, it is a jiMt, ii not t necessary inference, from the fact that tit deserintiona of money Were issued y The same government. "vlfcaTeWlleeW to pay in either were equally sanctioned by law. It is indeed difficult to see how sny question can be made on this point. Donbl concerning it can only spring from that confusion of idea, which al way attend.- the introduction of varying and un- bo equal equally valid for pay note doUno I It7noaeaey to son ties of this sort can be .est be ac- t Bat of the QMMMjr - ct f roM iDero coil p$ri mm with tke Coinage acts.

Duties on imports moot ha paid in coin, nod interest c the public visions, mum bo paid in coin ; and it hard ly rbaaifta a i guana t to prove that tats positive rcqniremeut casus, bo fulfilled if utas.aj laaivlanal. to pay act be aariefied ky offers to pay their neaalnaj equivalent in note dollars. Tho merrhnnt who ia to pay duties in coin must con tract for tbe coin which he re asairoa. Tho bank which receives the coin on deposit cantinsm to repay the com on demand. Tan meni.gar who is sent to the bank or t lie custom-house con tracts to payor deliver the coin accord ing to kia fcntiartl.ua, These are all contracts, either express or implied, to pay coin. Is it net pUiu that duties can not be paid in coin if these contracts can not be enforced I An instructive illastra- t'o i may be dc-ivud from another provis ion of the same arts. It ia expressly pro vided that sdl dues to tho government exam mr sunieoon imports, amy no paid iu United State notes. If, then, tke government needing more coin than can be adfc-cted from duties, contracts with some bank or individual for tho Needed amount to be paid at a certain day, can tender of an equal ouioant in note dol lars Undoubtedly it aneyt jf, the note dollars are a legal tender to the govern ment for all dues eteept duties on imports. and yet a construcuor, which would sup port toch a transaction would defeat a very important Intent of the act. Another illustration not less instructive may he found hi the contract, of the government With deuiasltora of the bullions at the Mint to par them the ascertained value of their deposits in coin. These ore de mands against the government, other than for interest nn the public debt, and the letter of the act certainly makes Uni ted Stair, notes payable lor all demands again.t the government, except such in terest. But can nay such construct ion of the act he maintained can judicial sanc tion be given ton proposition that the government may discharge iu obligation to tbe deposititors of bullion ky tendering them a n umber of note dollars equal to the number of coined dollars, which it baa contracted by law to pay! But we need not pursue the subject further. It seeuu dear beyond controversy that tho act must receive the reasonable construction not only warranted, but required, by the com parison of ita provisions with the provis ions of other acis and with each other, and that upon such reasonable construc tion it must be held to sustain the propo sition that express contracts to pay coin dollars ' can only ho satisfied by tke payment of coin dollars. These ore not debts which may bo satisfied by the ten- " as . saw ai V M a . . der Of the United Mates notes. It follows that the tender of such notes ia payment of the bond under consideration, waa not warranted in law, and satisfaction of the mortgage was errone ous. Some difficulty has boon felt ia regard to the judgment proper to bo entered on contracts payable in coin. This difficulty arises from the supposition that damages can bo a.atased only in one description of money, but the act of 1798 pro v idea that "the money of the coin of the United Mates shall be expressed in dollars, dimes, cents and mills, and that all accounts in the public offices, and all proceedings in the courts of the United States, shall be kept and had in con for tuity to this regulation. 1 his regulation is part of the first coinage act, and doubt less has reference to the coins provided tor by It, but It n general regulation and relates to nil accounts and all judicial proceedings. When, therefore, fws de scriptions of money are sanctioned by law, both exf n-ssed in dollars, and both made current in payment, it is necessary, in order to prevent ambiguity and to pre vent n failure of justice, to regard this regulation as applicable alike t both ; when, therefore, contracts made payable in Coin are sued upon, judgment may be rendered for ooincd dollar, and parts of a dollar, and when contracts have been been made payable in dollars generally, without specifying iu what dcocription of currency pay men t is to he mode, judgment may be entered accordingly, without sneh description.
