could possibly reud. He coosiders
that he has struck the key-note of

of the Republican party against the
prescriptive policy whioh tbe leaders
have adopted sinoo tbe campaign of
1872. He reitcratos bis opinion that,
with anything like proper manage?

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.
Decision on the Bills op tue Bank
op the State.?Tbe Supreme Court in
the live cusps brought before it, to wit:
the State exrel. L. D. DeSaussuro, ex?
ecutor, respondent, against Donald
McQueen, County Treasurer of Ker
Ishaw, appellant; Union Bank, of

Wilaox, Gibbs & Co., respondent,
against same, appellant; Courtonay, re?
spondent, against same, appellants,

[appellant, involving tbo question of
bills of tho Bank of tbe State being re?
ceived for taxes, has ordered tbe fol?
lowing issues of fact to be referred to
tbe Circuit Court, to be tried by jury
[in said court, iu conformity with Act
of tbo Legislature of January 8, 1873,
entitled "An Act to empower tbe Su?
preme Court to frame issues aud direct
same to be tried in Circuit Court, and
to order referees in certain cases."

which the said bank was uuthoriz?d to
issue its bills? Wero the baiiI bills so
tendered issued iu aid of tbe late re?
bellion? Were tbe said bills issued
aud received with reference to Con?
federate Treasury notes?
Where Are ran Troops??The
scene iu the Pennsylvania Legislature
may be considered disgraceful to tbat
State, but is it not even more disgrace?
ful to tie Gouerul Government? Here
was just the situation in which il wa
bouud, by its own precedents, to use
tbe military to preserve order. Gen.
Grant turned a Sheriff out of bis oilicc
latVicksburg by tbe army, lie seut
Steinberger with a condeciued howit?
zer, in a war vessel of the United
States, to the Sumouu Islands, lie
Isont tbe troops to expel four members
from tho Louisiana Assembly. Now,
hero was a case in whioh tho Sergeant
at-Arms could not expel one mau, and
iu which the Legislature of Pennsyl?
vania was resolvod into a mob. The
j President olaims the right to disperse
mobs aud romove tho danger of blood?
shed, and should consistently order a
{regiment to Harrisburg. Why dues
be not do it? Is it possible tbat a mob
I of Democrats and a mob of Republi?
cans deserve different treatment at bis
I bunds??New Yurk Herald.

i The nogroes who, on Monday, re
' minded Congress thut a recognition ot

i If Pinob. is no Senator, Kellogg is no
