Kentucky — 25 386 KENTUCKY IN THE NATION'S HISTORY The unhappy creditor thus found himself ground be- tween the upper and the nether millstones. If he declined to accept payment in the paper of the Bank of the Com- monwealth, worth only half its face value, ^ he was to re- ceive nothing at all, for two years, and then face, perhaps, the same alternative. If he accepted the paper, he lost at least half the value of the debt. - No wonder, then, that he raised an outcry at this wholesale public ro...bbery, claiming that the Legislature had no constitutional right to pass a law which was retroactive in its operation, and contrary to the State Constitution, as well as that of the nation. •'' No important case, except the Dartmouth College case, ^ had as yet caused an official interpretation of the Con- tract Clause of the Federal Constitution, and the news of that famous case had not reached the courts of the West; ^ but, to the more conservative minds, the wording of the Constitution upon that subject was so clear as to require no judicial illumination.
