Matter at Quarantine. Daring the past week no vesaela have arrived from Havana.

Ten vessels from Matanzts and other ports, la regard to which suspicion of Infection exists, arrived. They had no bills of health, and hence, though In good health, ware quarantined three days. The United Slates ship Courier arrived from Ship Island with Ave tick, but no yellow fever. The sick were tent to the Naval Asylum, Brooklyn, and the vassal to the Navy-yard. The nature of the disease is obscure, but it Is thougnt to be caused by impure water or diet The Surgeon of the Courier died of it at Ship Island.

The Captain of the schooner E. Kidder, from Pen-aarola ship-timber, reported that a disease la prevailing there among the United 8tatea vessels, principally on the storeshlp tttlief, which Is supposed to be a malignant form of typhus fever. It Is proving very fatal. The Kidder had no sickness, and was cleared after three days' detention at Lower Quarantine. The brig Orfofam.

from Matanzat, with molasses, and which bad lost one man by yellow fever on the passage, after Ave days' detention at Quarantine, was allowed to proceed to the lower end of the Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn, to discharge by Qaarantine stevedores. The Captain Interfered with the work of the Quarantine employee, and discharged them on Saturday, Intending to hire other stevedores. On Health Officer Quhb hearing of this he dispatched the Quarantine ateamtug to her, and she was forthwith towed back to the Quarantine anchorage, wbere she will remain until disinfected by frost or discharged by lighters. The object of having vessels discharged by Quarantine employes is that they are residents of Staten Island, constantly employed in doing that kind of work, and are under the Immediate eye of the Health Officer. If any ot them should take the fever he would iramedlatelv have them in charge and removed to Quarantine Hospital.

The danger of havlas other stevedores will readily be seen The bearding of veaaela by the Heahh Officer, at the Lower Quarantine, has been auapended for the season. GENERAL CITY NEWS. Citt Missions.

Hcfor a full Hooch, at Atfcaa. 7'A Metropolitan Bank and The Shoe and Leather Hank, Retpondenlt, vs. Wrury H. Van Pvrk, Superintendent af the Bank Department, Appellant, and Lewis H. Meter, Appellant, vs.

Jamee J. Roosevelt, Reiprnvitnt. We have received a full report of the opinion of Judge Davibs in the above case. It is very able and exhaustive, but its length; aad the Crowded state of our columns, prevent its publication in etten. We give extracts sufficient to show the ertft of Ue argument upon which Judge Davibs based hit decision.

After stating the case he said Tha question presented for our determination In these actions is one ol the gravest Importance, and challenges our most careful consideration. We are caned upon to annul and set aside an aot of the Congress of the United Siates passed In conformity with Ihe forms of the fundamental law after grave delib eration br both llouie of Congress, and which has assumed ins form of a law witn tne approval or the Executive. Two departments of the Government bare therefore united, aad all which by Ids provision" ol Uie Constitution are required to unite, in ilia enactment of a law. Tha responsibility of determining whether these (wo departments have violated the Couttltution, la now onat upon the third denart-nient, that of the Judlolary and however area! that rt'tponsllillllv may be, we have In trie discharge of the duty Imposed upon us, to meet It aad decide whether or not the Constitution nas beau violates. Belore proceeding to the discussion of the precise question presented for aoiudlcatien In the present cases, it will greatly aid us In arriving at a correct and intelligent conclusion to advert briefly lo the system of government organised by the Constitution of the United Stales, the principles which should govern in the construction of that Constitution, and the decisions which have been made, touching the powera ot Congress uader various provisions of mat constitution.

Judae Davis then sketched at some length the aarly his tory of the Government, showing how the Constitution was developed. We should be doing great injustice to the fransers of the Constitution, and a great wrong 10 the people who adopted It to aecure to themselves and tbelr posterity the blessings of liberty, It we give to It auch a construction as will cripple the Government, and render it unequal to the objects for which it was The second clause of section eight of article first of the Constitution wat originally reported in these words: "To borrow money end emit bills on the credit of the United States." Tnts clause coming hp lor consideration la the Convention. Mr. Gouvereeur Morris moved 10 strike oul the words and emit otiis on the credit of the United States," remarking that If the United States bad etedit such bills would be ua-neceaury If they had not, unjutt and useless. Mr.

Madison said WUI it not be sufficient to prohibit the making them a tender This will remove the temptation to emit them with unjeat views, and promissory notes in that shape map in some emergencies be best." Mr. Morris replied that "striking out Ue words will leave room still for notes of a responsible minister, which will do all Ue good without the mischief." Mr. Gorbam wat ror sulking out witnout inserting any prohibi tion. He also said, as to Coagress having the power to lasne paper money The power, as far as It will be necessary or sale, Is Involved in Uat of borrowing." Mr. Mercer was a friend to paper money, and was, consequently, opposed lo a prohibition of it altogeth er.

He said it would stamp suspicion on Ue Gov ernment lo deny It a discretion on Uia point." The clause was stricken out, (Maaison Papers, vol. 3, 1.343, Ad.) But no prohibition on Congress was Inserted to Issue paper money, or to make toe same a legal tender. Another significant clrcumstanea as Indieating the opinion of the Convention that Congress had toe power to legislate on the subject of legal tender, It found In the fart that on the 6th of August, 1787, the Constitution, aa previously agreed upon in the Convention, was reported by the Committee in detail, nearly In the form it was subsequently passed. But article 13 of the (then) proposed Constitution declared that ao Stale, without the consent of the Legislature of the United States, should make anything but specie a tender In payment of debts." This proposed clause of the Constitution, therefore, contained a distinct and unequivocal acknowledgment that It would be competent for Congress to give its consent lo the Legislatures ol Ue several States, 10 make something else tharr specie a legal tender in payment of debts. It is also an explicit admission that auch a power waa veated in Congress, and that it by consent might permit State Legislatures to do the same tiling.

It is an absurdity to sav Uat Congress coat 1 consent that the Legislatures of the States could do this, and not have the power of doing the thing itself. It of course could not grant to others powers It did aot Itself possess. On this clause coming up lor final consideration, It was amended by making the prohibition upon the State Legislatures positive and final, as tne same now stands in the first subdivision of section ten of article first-Tee fact that the Convention made Ue prohibition positive upon the States, doet not militate at all againtt Ue argument derived from Ue conceded admission that something else Uan specie could be made a tender for the payment of debts, with Ue consent of Congress. This seems an appropriate place to consider the legislation of Conaress, under the power conferred upon it to colo money, regulate the value of foreign coins. It is to be borne in mind that no express power it given by the Constitution to Congress to esUblUh or make anything a legal tender tn payment of debts.

Neither, aa has been already observed, is Uere any prohibition contained in Ue Constitution, foi bidding legislation by Congress on that topic, or declaring what it shall or shall not make a legal tender, be trainers of Ue Constitution could not have been ignorant Uat Ue power to declare what shall or shall not be legal Under, or, In other wordt, lawful money of a country, waa a necessary incident 01 sovereignly, and had ever been exercised by the sovereign power in all civilized na tions. 1 bey were equally cognizant of the fact that the Colonies had Invariably exercised this power, and Uat Ue States, on Ue application of Ue Continental Congress, and pursuant to Us recommendation, had made ihe issues ot paper money by the Continental Congress for Ue purpose ol can ring on the war of the Revolution, a legal-tender in payment of debts. This legislation by Ue Statei wat Invoked because Uat Congress had no power to legislate on any subject, and auch legislation could only be bad through me instrumentality 01 ine states, oucn weakness and defect in the powers of the Continental Congrett were among Ue controlling reasons for the formation of Ue new system, brought Into being by Ue Constitution. In examining Ue history of legislation on this subject we find that Ue first act of Congrats re. latlng to legal tender la that of April 3, 1792, establishing Ue mint for striking and coining gold and silver coint," and by Section 10 it wat enacted that all Ue gold and silver coins which shall have beea Issued from such mini, snail be a lawful Under In nil payments whatsoever.

The first Issue of silver dollars from the mint wat not before October, 1794, and of gold coin not before Julp, 1795, and the whole amount of metallic money Issued from 1793 to 1795 was only S463.54 I 80 In value. To provide a legal medium of commerce, aa act was pasted on Ue 5u ot February. 1793, declaring that from and after Ue lit day ol July, 1793, foreign gold and silver coin tbould pass current aa money wluin the United Siates. and be a legal tender lor the payment of all debts and demands at the several aad respective sales therein mentioned and prescribed. This act embraced Us coins of Gress Britain and Portugal and ot France and Spain, and of Ue dominions of Spain.

See Act of March 1, 1797.J As has beea before observed, there Is no express grant of power to Congress to make gold and sUver. or anyUing else, a tender payment of debta. public or private. It la claimee Uat Congress may property say what fhe United States may receive In payment and discharge of debta due to It, and Uat it may therefore rightfully say in what carrencr. or metala, or tbinga, payments may be made of the da.

Admitting Uia, It la claimed Uat it dees not follow Uat Congress has Ue power to ear what shall be tender and discharge of debt due from one Individual to another. Our review of Ue legislation of Congress has shown us Uat, under the of Ue Constitution auUorlxlng it to coin money and regulate the nine thereof. hat uniformly declared by law Uat Ue money ao coined and Ue value of waich has Una been regulated, shoe id be received as a legal tender tn payment of all debts, equally, whether dae to the Government ot to private UdU Tiduais. Aad Uat under the power to regulate the value of foreign coin. It has, from time to rime, reru-Uted aad prescribed its value, and mada a lent Wads 1 payment or ail debts, it has mad aoUs of unequal IntrtaaM value aad fiaenest email a Uader tn payment of debta, at their rapeeuve nomUeJ valaea.

Such metals so eta pad are net Issued or put In circulation, on the faith or credit of tne United Slate a Government No ptedge It made to redeem Mietn, and they may poMest little or no Intrinsic value, yet II it not daalud that such pieces ot metal so stamped or coined, may be lawfully Issued and made a legal tender, and thus become lawful money of the United States. It li dlfflcu't to perceive If this can be done with pieces of metal, why It Is not equally within the power of Congreas to declare the Tressury Notes which it may lawfully Issue aa a circulating medium, and which it may lawfully make a tender a leaal tender la payment ol debts due to it a legal tender also In payment of all, debts. These notet are issued 00 the faith and credit of the whole Union and the liability of which and of all ita citixeni are pledged for tbelr ultimate redemption, and if the metali may be made a tender, why may not Ihe notet equally be made a legal tender In payment of all debts, tf the exigencies of the Government should require It to be done, and Congress In iU wisdom should think such necessity existed. If Congress possesset the newer, we cannot but perceive that its exercise in the pretentfemergency, it of Incalculable benefit and advantage to the Government and the people whose agent it is.

The question then for consideration, la Whether Ue provision in the Act of February. 186, making these notes legal tender, waa useiul, or conducive, or adapted to carry into execution any of tne powers expressly conferred upon Congress. Those who challenge Ue validity of the Act, must show that at no time and under no circumstances which may arise, is such a law useful, necessary or proper, to aid In tne execution of any or alt of the powers rxprettly conferred upon Congrett. It. such a law neneeary to carry Into effect any tpeclflo power given lu Congress Have these meant a natural connection with anv lueclfic power Are they adapted lo give It effect Are they appropriate means to an end? Are such means comtiulv to the exercise of any power granted to Congrens It It believed the doctrine pertinent to this oranch of our dlt-cusaion, it so well settled by autoority, that It cannot be shaken.

and that at thia duy uia noiopen for discussion. It is known that lbs United Stales Irom an early day have claimed and exercised, by virtue of an act of Congress, priority in the payment of all debts due toil byeltlxensof the several States over such citizens or over Ue 8tates. There can be no authority for saying that there Is say express grant In the Constitution lo Congress to declare such priority, yet It was so declared, and has been uniformly sustabsed and recognised by Ue Courta. In the case of the United States t. Fisher, (2 Cranch, 33S.) Ue power of the United Statet Congress to declare tuch priority was most ably and instructively dlscutsed by the mott eminent counsel of that day, and the opinion of the Court, by Maishall, Chief Justice, most unequlr-ocably affirmed.

Those whose patriotism leads them to serve or trust the Government of the country, are not compelled to do so on any less advantageous terms than Uoae who labor for or trust private citizens. If tbere It any hardship In receiving the notet of the nation, It fallt equally on all, and If It be a contribution for the tupport and maintenance of oar ltoertlea.it Is equally berae by all la exact proportion to Ue means which each possesses.

Tha rise of Tees- day was not traatalaad by tie demand and reU-live rates for IgehaAf' t)a toudooyand speculators In Qold for a rtta War not alow ia discovering ths) dlscrepaocj. Iu4 market waa comparatively steady for Gold" to o'clock this afternoon at and Bills on London, 165f 0164 cent. There ia a fair inquiry for Money from the Brokera at 6 cent. The general opinion of the market oa tha Street la la the direction of continued ease of aupplj from lenders at present rates for some weeks to come. There is marked firmneae in (he demand and price for Government seeuritiea of all descriptions.

The Treasury office In this City Is engaged this afternoon in paying la gold the first October interest on tha 7-80 cent. Treasury Loan of 1861-4. The premium obtained by holders on 3.65 cent, in Gold makes the Investment more than a ten per cent, security. The certainty of these periodical payments of intereet In Gold, and the assurance that tha Government has an unfailing source of income (lOtn Customs upon the foreign Import trade, which to derive an all- sufficient amount for this object in Gold, of courae. fail to tell upon the popular preference in favor of the Stocks of the United States over ail local securities.

The amount of Gold to be distributed on the 7-30 tf cent. Loan to-morrow is $3,250,000, chiefly from the Treasury Office in this City. A good portion of the proceeds will undoubtedly go into other United States Stocks, the principal and interest of which are pledged to be paid in Gold. The subscriptions to-day in thia market to the 6-20 year Popular Loan amount to $1,052,450. The Railway speculation on the Stock Ex change is more than usually irregular and unreliable In its temper.

At the regular Board, prices were comparatively well sustained and in the Afternoon, the ultimate changes Iroia yesterday were not so violent aa the dlapoaltlon at the Pub lic Board to aell the Uat down. The position of several prominent parties on the Street is reversed on Michigan Southern, and by sympathy on tome other Slockt, and thia circumatance, together with the Michigan Southern affair of laat week, createe much feeling on the Street, and an array of partisanship on both aidea. The aalea of the atock for some days paat have been very heavy, the orders at the regular Board taking the lead as to price. The Mew-York Roads were rather lower than yesterday. Moat of the West ern Roads and Philadelphia and Reading were firm at the cloae.
