Washington, Maroh 30.?In the case of Raymond and others against the United Slates, whioh was a suit on the official bond of one May,' as a tobacto manufacturer, from tbe Circuit Conrt for Indiana, the Supremo Court to-day decided that sureties on a bond for the transportation of tobacco from one dis? trict to another, iu the condition of wbioh tho number of boxes aud pounds of tobaoco are given and the kind of tobacco described, are responsible for che delivery at the proper place of the tobaooo, and not the boxes in which it was supposed to be, but never was. That the fraud of the principal in tilling f the boxes wth other substances than to? bacco before they left his warehouse, does not release tho surotios from this obligation; nor does the carelessness of the inspecting officer, though it made the fraud of tho principal in the bond easier of accomplishment, .release the sureties on his bond of transportation. Affirmed. Mr. Justice Miller.delivered the opiuion. In the case of the Uaitod States agaiust Jonas, from the Circuit Court k from the Distriot of Louisiauu, the Go? vernment sold a tract of land to Jouas at public sale aud tendered him a deed from Solicitor Ban field. This ho do olined to accept, on tho ground tbat it did not appear that the Secretary of the Treasury had authorized the sale. Thereupon the Government resold the property for a less sum thau bid by Jonas, and brought this notion to reco? ver tho difference. Upon this state of facts, it was hold below and is affirmed here, that Jonas was not pnt iu default, /and was not, therefore, liable, because H thero was nothing to show that tho con U sent of the Secretary had been obtained, Band it is said that if the sale had been H delegated to the Solicitor alone and its tfexeruise confined to his discretion, his -. ?, 55 fr -- -'. "?- ? 1 acts would parry with , them prima facie evidence that they were within the soope of his authority, but where tho power is divided, there must be joint action before any presumption can arise. Mr. Justice Davis delivered the opinion. Iu the ease of the Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad Company of Uiahmond, and another from the Supreme Court of Iowa, the court sustained a contract made between parties in August, 1860, in pursuance of wbioh the defendants here erected an elevator at Dubuque for the use of the compnny on a stipulation that they should have tho handling of all through grain, at one ceut per bushel, for a term of fifteen years. The com? pany sought to avoid the contraot, ou the ground that it was contrary to pub? lic policy to allow the defendants iu bo tax-gatherers on tho grain coming over tho Mississippi at Dubuque and iu con? flict with the Aots of June and July, 181)6, regulating commerce among the several Stat?n. The d?oi??oq is that while these Aots were desigued to re? lieve trammels on transportation be? tween different States previously exist? ing, nnd to prevent the creation of such trammels in future, thoy wore not in? tended, even if it were competent for Congress to authorize it, to invado the domain of privuto contracts and annul all such as had been previously made on the basin of existing legislation.
