By merely dropping all the statutes, it should seem that none but clerks would be entitled to this privilege, and that they would, toties quoties. No attainder shall work corruption of blood in any case.

[NOTE F.]--Coinage for the United States _On the Establishment of a Money Unit, and of a Coinage for the United States_. In fixing the Unit of Money, these circumstances are of principal importance. I. That it be of _convenient_ size to be applied as a measure to the common money transactions of life. II. That its parts and multiplies be in an _easy proportion_ to each other, so as to facilitate the money arithmetic; III. That the Unit and its parts, or divisions, be _so nearly of the value of some of the known coins_, as that they may be of easy adoption for the people. The Spanish Dollar seems to fulfil all these conditions. I. Taking into our view all money transactions, great and small, I question if a common measure of more _convenient size_ than the Dollar could be proposed. The value of 100, 1000, 10,000 dollars is well estimated by the mind; so is that of the tenth or the hundredth of a dollar. Few transactions are above or below these limits. The expediency of attending to the size of the Money Unit will be evident to any one who will consider how inconvenient it would be to a manufacturer or merchant, if instead of the yard for measuring cloth, either the inch or the mile had been made the Unit of Measure.
