There are several highly impoi-tant ca ses about to - come before the Supreme Court of the United States, each of which will test the constitutionality of the Recons-ruction acts. One case,' the trial of which is expetted to begin very shortly, will decide the question as to whether Virginia is in or out of the Un ion. It is conhidently believed that the decision of ti.re court will be that Virgin ia is not now and never has been out of the Union, in which case the situation in tire bouthein States will be materially changed., The President, it is said, will then instruct the Military District Com manders to act in strict aceordance with the decision of the higie,,t triunal of -be nation, and permit the.civil govern mnents to resume their functions ftintram mpled by the.military powe. It is the belief of a prominuent,Senator here that a majority of the -jidges of the Supreme -Eourt, when theMcArdle case comes up, will decide that the Reconstruction acts are unconstitutlo-ml ; that Chief Justice ;hse will deliver .the minority report and make the most (f the opportunity to champion,be hts and, identify himself yet more earnestly with the Radical par ty North and South:-If-the bottom should thus fall out of the -schemi for Africanizitg the Soithern -$tates-it. is -believed Qeoeral Grant 'will reject'any .o.inination comin froi the Republican paty.-- - An rmprtant"m main We- are p6'rmittcd by Col.

E,forin has been received in Vashington, that the Stockholm 'news- m aper, The Volksblatt, ..dvises the S'-e- se. ish Government to follow the example er f Denmark by selling to the United fates its WVest India Island of St. Bart ho >mew. This is regarded here, in official n4 ircles, as another indication that Euro- wVi ean monarchies are retiring from this WV antinent under the influence of the of [onroe doctrine. A woman in Illinois recently sold her th usband to another female for $120. All sa arties, husband included, seemed satis- in ed with the bargain, and the transfer -as made by mutual consent.

GRATJIFYIG-The erratic- wanderings our colored population have in a great ~asure come to an end ; the holiday ison being about over, they have gen ,we arec happy to state, gone to irk with good will and good'sense, the jority of them preferring to remain th their employers of the last year. e are gratified to know that very tr.any them after a short experience in change abode and authority, have returned to air old homes and former masters, isfied that there and with them their erests will be best subserved.

The streets were thronged *ith white, black and all the intermediate shades and grades, in complexion and cast We did not ascertain what brought them all be-e, but way venture the conclusion; that. some rode,judging by the frequent wha hoo, wha-hocs, sounding from the right and left of the court house and vacant lotsj while-it may- be further inferred that a great number came in a-foot back. It-may be further~stated that not a. few went away with more business than they came-that of fin'dingsometbing.to eat. It was the moUiest crowd and the hun griest, the simmon beer and apple ~tart .women, rould not half meet the demand. Not all howevei cme purposeless, for we record with pleisure the receipt of sev eral subscriptions and advertisment costs. One individual we regret not being able to find; the crowd being so great, or per haps he was not here.. At all events we did'nt make the money this time.. When next we meet, let him look out. The- commissioner's sales were, 870 acres of land $1500, 272 for $410 and a house and lot in' town for $500.. The Sheriff's sales were 571 acres at $50, 40 acres at $60, and 60r acres at $180. The sales of furniture, horses, mules, wagons, and truck' of various descrip tions, were numerous, and animated, and encircled by freeds innumerable.
