He had long believed that the straggle would come over Canada, and he now believed it would come in his day. Feasenden endorsed the vietftepf Su inner, that a treaty on this subject should rise to the fall dignity and importance of the international question involved, and that the nation, with a duo regard to its own honor, could not on L sider it upon any other grounds.

J ., Speaker House of Representatives. Approved tho 16th day of March, 1869. ROBERT K.. SCOTT, Governor. THE TEXAS CASE. Uitlteil States Supreme Court-Impor? tant Opinion. In the United States ?Supremo Court Mon? day tho Chief Just ico delivored the opinion of the oourt in tho caso of the State of Texas vs. George W. White et al. The opinion settles some important princi? ples. 1st. That the authority of the Provis? ional Governor Hamilton authorized Judge Pas? chal to prosecute the claim ot Texas to the bond; thal the authority of Governor 1 brock mo rt un authorized B F." Epperson to sue out the injunction; and the power of Governor Pease to Judge Paschal authorized bim to pro? secute the suit 2d. That the annexation of Texas made it a State of tho Union and that no act of the citi? zens and government of Texas alone bas or could dissolve that relation; that during the rebellion there were no officers ot the United States acting in Texas, but yot the people re? mained citizens of the United States and the State a State of the Union. The opin n then reviews the ordiuanse of BOCOS? ion and the his? tory of the attempted disruption. 3d. That the ordin mee of secession and all tho legislativo acts in aid of the rebellion were null and void; that the Legislature was an ille? gal body, but that it was unnecessary to decide how many ol their aots for tue government of society wero valid. It is sufficient that the United Stales bonds in controversy were the property of Texas at the time of secession; and that a law of Texae required their transfer by ah endorsement by the Governor; that no Governor has over endorsed thom, and the acts creating the military boird of Texas, repealing tho law requiring the Governor's endorsement, ?nd pinong tho nuntin ia tho bands of White A CbtldB, were acts in aid of the rebellion, and their pos&oasion was subject to the title nf Tex ts? 4th. That it is difficult to resist the conclu? sion that the purchasers from White & Childs had notice that their title was contested, but it is sufficient that the present claimant re? ceived the bonds after their maturity, and the doctrine of innocent purohauer in good faith does not apply to those who obtained the paper after its maturity, but they take subject to the equitable title or the rightful owner. 6th. Tne State of Texas has the right to re? cover the bonds and perpetuate the injunction, and it is decreed accordingly. In tho oourso of the opinion the Chief Jus? tino reviewed the condition of Texas at the time of the downfall ot the rebellion, the abdi? cation of its government by its principal offi? cers, the flight ot those officers to Mexioo, and the general anarohy which prevailed; and he held that under the power to adopt all neces? sary means to protect the delegated powers, to see the laws faithfully executed, an! to guar? antee a republican form of government to the States, the President had the right to appoint a provisional governor, and to organize socie? ty; and without deciding upon his power to call a oonvontion to adopt a constitution, he held that Congress, as the law-making power, bad tho right to adopt tho meas ores necessary to rostoro the Stales to their proper relation to the Union, and that Congress had recognized these governments as provisional. He advert? ed to the terms of restoration-the adop? tion of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth amend nents of the c institution; the passage of the Reconstruction law.-, which Congress had the right to p isa, and the successful restoration of the majority of the rebel States under those laws. He reviewed the emancipation procla? mation of President Lincoln, ana. without de? ciding its immediate effect, he said that the surrender of the rebellion and the amnesty oaths of President Johnson made -t effectual, and the slaves thus emancipated became a part of the people of the United States, and the btates in which they were remained States in tho Union, with the ri rht in Congress to pre? scribe tbe terms of restoration. The opinion is exceedingly able and interesting. Justioe Grier dissented as to the merits and turi adietion of the ca*o. holding that Texas ias no more right to bring suit in the Supreme Court than has the District ol Colombia. Texr wan not, in fact, a State of the Uoton. Justices 8 way no and Miller dissented as to jurisdiction only. Special litters. MW CALISAYA BARK.-IT IS SAID THAT Messrs.

GRU BER.-To MT FRIENDS : It is with extremo regret that I announce to my friends and patrons that cir cum ii tances beyond my control compelled me to dis? continue my business at the old stand of N. M. POB TXB St Co., No. 236 Klng-streot. Ii making this announcement I beg to tender my sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and support, and trust that in my new position they will extend the same Iloerality. My limited capital, together with losses of the past three years, impaired my credit to m>'h an extent that it was difficult to k<-op up a supply of goods without paying exoro'tant prices, and I was fast losing my health, budines and friends. In this extremity I appealed to Messrs WM. ti. CORWIN A CO., and the liberality whioh so characterizes that firm was at once extended to me, and I am now en? abled to offer better inducements. ' Their extensive capital and experience permits them to offer a finer class of goods at about the prices I had to pay, par? ticularly in Teas, Champagnes, Clarets, Bran lies, Ac. The combined eflbr s of m j pelf and former partner, Mr. JAMES 8.
