By Telegrapli. Important Lagsl Doc I? Io a. b.vLTmuttK, No v um ber 22.-lu ?l?? Ua??s? States Circuit Court for Haryland, this morning, Chief-Justice Chase presiding, an important decision was giren in the case of James Jackson, a subject of Great Britain, versus the Northern Central Rail? road Company. The action was to recover the amount of $2,650 on coupons held by him of the bonds of the company. The company claimed the right to retain five per cent of its interest conpone to pay ?he income tax with, and also three mills every dollar of its bonds, under the law |sed by the Legislature of Pennsylva The court decided that tho company jay the tax, and that the coupons sc paid without deducting the tax. >t>a.ble Success of thc Rebels-Effect on the Spanish-Chilian Contest. WASHINGTON, November 22.-Tte Go? vernment has received a despatch from Callao, dated October 28, from which the following is taken: Respecting the revolution in Peru, I have now to report somewhat of definite pro? gress. The revolutionists havo abandoned their camp in Pisco, and advanced as far as the valley of Lnrini, on their march upon lima. I cannot ascertain tho exact number of their forces; but, from all ac? counts, shc-uld judge it to bc about 10,000. The army of the Government has already marched out to meet them, under the command of President Pezet, in person. There was a rumor, yesterday, of a skir? mish at Lurini, between the advance guards, although nothing yet is positively known. The decisive battle may, perhaps, be taking placo at this very moment. I think it is the prevailing impression that the revolutionists will be victorious. In the event of their success, it is thought that Teni will break off her present rela? tions with Spain, and declare in favor of Chili. _ Gov. Morton, of Indiana, in his message to the Legislature of that State, on tho occasion of its special session, says: Thc subject of suffrage is, by the National Constitution, expressly referred to thc determination of tho several States, and it cannot be taken from them without a violation of tho letter and spirit of that instrument. But without stopping to dis? cuss theories or questions of constitu? tional law, and leaving them out of view, it would, in my opinion, be unwise to make the work of reconstruction depend upon a condition of such doubtful utility as negro suffrage. It is a fact so manifest that it should not bc called in question by any, that a people who are just emerging from the barbarism of slavery arc not qualified to become a part of our political system, and take part, not only in the government of themselves and their neighbors, but of thc whole United States. So far from believing that negro suffrage is a remedy for all of our national iiis, I doubt whether it is a remedy for any, and rather believe that its enforcement by Congress would be more likely to subject the negro to a merciless persecution than to confer upon him any substantial benefit. By some it is thought that suffrage is already cheap enough in this country; and the immediate transfer of more than half a million of men from thc bonds of slavery, with all the ignorance and degra? dation* upon them which the slavery of generations upon Southern fields has pro? duced, would be a declaration to thc world that thc exercise of American suffrage in? volves no intellectual or moral qualifica? tions, and that there is no difference between an American freeman and an American slave, which may not be removed by a mere act of Congress. Frais.-Between two and three o'clock Saturday afternoon, a fire occurred at the residence of Mr. E. J. Kinsman, North-east corner of Smith and Montague street-9, caused by some defect in the chimney. A small portion only of tho roof was burnt, the greatest damage to tho building being from the flood o' water poured upon it. The building belonged to Mr. Thos. B. Clarkson. Another fire broke ont about six o'clock Sunday evening, on thc second floor of the largo three story warehouse on Kerr's wharf, well known for several years past as Kinloch's hay and grain store. The building had been lately leased to Mr. P. Fogarty, and was undergoing repairs. It is believed that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The whole of tho interior was burned, and also the adjoining warehouse occupied by T. TuDper A Sons. We could not learn thc whole extent of the damage last evening. Messrs. Tnpper A Sons, it is reported, hat" a large t tock on hand. The building belonged to the Napier estate.-CJiarleston Courier, 27?A. EBLKARED.-Capt. J. G. Ryan, Confede? rate States army, who has been confined in tho military prison hero for some time past, was yesterday released. Thc caso of Capt. Ryan has been a peculiarly hard one. He was originally arrested on suspi? cion of being John H. Surratt, one of tho assassins of President Lincoln, and taken to Washington. Alter it was ascertained that lie was not the man, ho was sent here, but has been kept in entire igno? rance of what was the charge against him. Tin I.? H im beM.nr information HOW. Capt.

N?WB mo M TES MEXICAN BOBDEB-Tits ATTACK ON MATAMORAS.- Tho attack ?nd repulse of tho Republicans, on the 35th ultimo, waa a rory small affair. General Escobodo, c<iuuu?u?iu(( tho It?publics, army, consisting of 3,000 to 4,000 mon, had given directions for a complete roconnois sanco of the onemy's position on that day, but no order for an attack. One of his officers, however, commanding a small body of Americans, not fully understand? ing the orders, directed his men to make an assault at a particular point, which they did with the greatest success, cap? turing the Imperial works and guns; but, not being supported, they had to with? draw. The besiegers maintained their po? sition around the city for several days afterwards. During tho progress of tho siege, Browns? ville, which is on the Texas side of tho Bio Grande, directly opposite Matamoras, was filled with people from the latter place, who fled to escape the expected attack. American soldiers stood on the river bank and cheered the Republicans opposite, and for this an Importal gun-boat fired on the American side. General Weitzel has or? dered an investigation of this affair. Gene? ral Weitzel, at thc request of General Essobedo, and in the interest of humanity, sent over the river tents for the latter's wounded, and many of them were trans? ported to Brownsville, and received the attention of the United States army sur? geons there. Tho Imperialists professed to have discovered a henions plot to sur? render tho city, and assassinate General Mejia, among the officers of a party of about 400 Americans at Matamoras, in tho Imperial service, known as Contra gue? rillas. Two of these officers were court martialed and sentenced to be shot. One of them was executed, but the other escaped. The Matamoras papers charge that this plot was purely American, that $55,000 was to have been paid to the con? spirators for its execution, and that a portion of the money had been paid and that the remainder was in Brownsville. As hcrotoforo reported, the Republicans disappeared from before Matamoras some days ago. A New Orleans despatch gives as a reason their reception of information that the Imperialists were moving from Monterey to attack them in tho rear. There are also Now Orleans rumors that Bagdad, at the mouth of thc Rio Grande, is besieged by the Republicans, and that a French naval officer has made an unsuc? cessful demand on General Weitzel for the surrender of the Imperial vessel captured bv the Republicans and taken to Browns? ville. General Frederick Steele, lately com? manding the United States forces in thc Western district of Texas, which includes our Rio Grande frontier has been super? seded by General Weitzel, commander of the Twenty-fifth corps. It was understood in Texas that the cause of General Steele's removal was the allegation that he was on too intimate terms and in sympathy with the Imperial officers of the Mexican To Builders.
