Charleston, February 1.?Judge Bryan presiding. Tbe petition of Geo. R. Capers, for leave to sell ohosee in aotion in tbe matter of Hope k Gyles, bankrupts, was referred to Re? gistrar Seabrsok.

Kiriu Ootion is tue Untied States Supreme Court.?We learn from tbe Union and American that a ootton ease of considerable importance is pending in the Uaited States Supreme Court, an appeal fiom tbe Court of Claims. The suit was originally brought to re* cover tbe proceeds of 720 bales of oot tou, purchased by one Mitchell, in Qeorgia, in November and December, 1861, aud which was seised by the Qo vernmeut in the early part of 1860. It appeared tbat at the outbreak of tbe war tho oluimant was a oitizen of the United States, and a resident of Louis villo, Ky. Iu Jnly, 1861, and before tbe 17th. he procured from the com? manding General in Kentucky a mili? tary pass permitting him to go through tbe lines to the Confederate States, where be remained nntil near tbe close ot 1864. While there he transacted business, collected debis, and pur? chased tbe ootton iu question, which he stored at Savannah, where he was in persou wbeu tbat city was taken by Sherman. Tho Judges of the Court of Claims were divided iu opinion on the question of recovery, but, for the! purpose of haviug tbe oise to go to the Supreme Court, found for the Go vernment, dismissing the petition. It is claimed that Mitchell went to tbe Confederate States merely to look after property and interests there, with no intention of raising bis band against the Government, aud never doing so; that be only acquired and m&intuiued a dumieil there, submitting to the authorities, never trading aorosi the | lines, nor in any manner doing n hos? tile uct toward the United States. Ic is also insisted that, since tbe amnesty proclamation wholly removed tbo ob? stacle of disloyalty pluced iu tbe way of claimants of captured and aban? doned property, by the Aot of March, 1863, Mitchell cannot be held iu a less (favorable attitude than others who ac? tually took up arms against thw Go? vernment, and who may still recover. The Government maintains that Mitchell disregarded his obligations of allegiance to tbe United Stales, and violated both tho laws of war and tbe Acts of Congress by going into insnr reotiouury districts, and hence cannot i j recover.
