Halaman 266 - to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin,' and it also declares that 'no State shall coin money, emit bills of credit, or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.
Halaman 281 - That a final judgment or decree in any suit, in the highest court of law or equity of a State in which a decision in the suit could be had...
Halaman 506 - We are not at liberty to inquire into the motives of the legislature. We can only examine into its power under the constitution ; and the power to make exceptions to the appellate jurisdiction of this court is given by express words.
