Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.
Believing that a jurisdictional statute of this kind should be circumspectly construed, cf. Kesler v. Department of Public Safety, 369 U.S. 153, 156-157, 82 S.Ct. 807, 810-811, and recognizing the force of the considerations which concerned the majority of the Court of Appeals, 308 F.2d 779, I am nevertheless satisfied that the legislative history of § 106(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act leaves no room for a conclusion other than that which this Court has reached.
I therefore concur in the judgment.

# Foster v. State of Kansas Johnston/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
112 U.S. 205
Foster v. State of Kansas Johnston
This record shows that the attorney general of the state of Kansas commenced proceedings in quo warranto in the supreme court of the state against John Foster, county attorney of Saline county, to remove him from office, because he had neglected and refused to prosecute persons who were guilty of selling intoxicating liquors in the county in violation of a statute of the state known as the prohibitory liquor law. [See 3 Pac. Rep. 534.] Among other defenses relied on by the defendant was one to the effect that the statute under which the prosecutions were to be instituted was in violation of the constitution of the United States, and therefore void. It was also claimed that the writ of quo warranto in Kansas was a criminal proceeding, and that under the constitution of the United States the defendant was entitled to a trial in accordance with the Criminal Code of Procedure. The court ruled against the defendant on all these claims and defenses, and charged the jury that the sections of the prohibitory liquor law involved in the proceeding were not repugnant to the constitution of the United States. The trial resulted in a verdict against the defendant, and a judgment thereon removing him from office. This writ of error was brought to reverse that judgment, and the state now moves to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction, and with that has united a motion to affirm. This can be done under rule 6, § 5, of this court.
As the question of the constitutionality of the statute was directly raised by the defendant, and decided against him by the court, we have jurisdiction, and the motion to dismiss must be overruled; but, as every one of the questions which we are asked to consider has been already settled in this court, the motion to affirm is granted. In Bartemeyer v. Iowa, 18 Wall. 129, it was decided that a state law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors was not repugnant to the constitution of the United States. This was reaffirmed in Beer Co. v. Massachusetts, 97 U.S. 25, and that question is now no longer open in this court. In Ames v. Kansas, 111 U.S. 449, S.C.. 4 SUP. CT. REP. 437, it was decided, at the last term, that the remedy by information in the nature of quo warranto, in Kansas, was a civil proceeding, and in Kennard v. Louisiana, 92 U.S. 480, that a state statute regulating proceedings for the removal of a person from a state office was not repugnant to the constitution of the United States if it provided for bringing the party against whom the proceeding was had into court, and notifying him of the case he had to meet; for giving him an opportunity to be heard in his defense; and for the deliberation and judgment of the court. Affirmed.

# Fothergill’s Lessee v. Stover

April Term, 1763.
* William Alden, Chief Justice.

The Lessee of Fothergill and others versus Christian Stover.
A Letter from James Steel, Receiver General and Secretary of the Land Office, to the Surveyor General’s Deputy in Chester County in these Words, “Friend Isaac Taylor, Philadelphia, 3d 2m 1719.—James Logan has agreed that the Bearer hereof William Willis shall have 500 Acres of Land at Conestogoe. Please to survey it to him and the Warrant shall be ready.—Thy loving Friend, ​ James Steel,” offered to be given in Evidence as the Foundation of the Defendant’s Title. Objected, on the Part of the Plaintiff, that James Steel by his Order only, without a Warrant from the Proprietors or the Commissioners of Property, could not authorise the Location of Lands: And even supposing it to amount to an Order from James Logan himself, as he was only one of three Commissioners, such Order cannot be a sufficient Warrant.
But the Court said, that under these Sort of Orders from the Proprietor’s Officers, a great Part of the Province had been settled, and that for a general conveniency they had been heretofore allowed to be given in Evidence, and particularly in M’Dowall’s Case. In that Case, last April Term, a Letter from Richard Peters Secretary of the Land-Office, to the same Effect as the above, was allowed; and the Letter in this Case was accordingly ruled to be given in Evidence.
A Plot of a Survey made in pursuance of the above Letter, in Isaac Taylor’s own hand Writing, with a Note at the bottom thus “sur. 9ber 10. 1720,” and in the Body of it, the Words “William Willis 400 Acres,” not returned into the Surveyor General’s or Secretary’s Office, but found among Isaac Taylor’s Land Papers, many Years after his Death, was allowed to be given in Evidence, against a regular Warrant and Survey posterior to the above; a Settlement and Possession being proved to have been made, the first Survey amounting to an Impropriation, and the Land Office appearing to have been shut between the Years 1718 and 1732.
N.B. On an Appeal to the King and Council, the Judgement of the Supreme Court was affirmed.

# Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper/Volume 18/Number 451/Chasing a Blockade-Runner

CHASING A BLOCKADE-RUNNER.
"What is our Navy doing? Why is not Welles dismissed? Another blockade-runner has entered Mobile." Such are comments we often bear. Are we not unjust? The blockaders are known, their positions certain: the blockade-runners uncertain and everywhere, with friends ashore to guide and signal them. No sooner does a blockader have a chance to pursue a blockade-runner, cruise, get supplies or reconnoitre, than the fact is made known, and in the darkness the blockade-runner creeps in with lights extinguished, fires low and silence absolute. So great is the caution that two blockade-runners have been known, when fairly in, to have descried each other's dark hull, and each supposing the other to be a blockader, stole out to sea again. An officer doing blockade duty sends us the sketch of a pursuit of a blockade-runner at midnight, under these difficulties.
# Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper/Volume 18/Number 451/Thinking

THINKING
Through the clouds of gold and purple Slow the sun is sinking; Fetlock deep within the river Stand the cattle drinking; On the bridge above the millstreams Rests the maiden—thinking.
Nutbrown hair that mocks the sunset With its golden gleaming Hands above her pitcher folded, With the graceful seeming Of an antique-sculptured Nereid, By a fountain dreaming.
As a tender thought had swayed her, O'er the stream she's leaning, While her red lips curve and quiver With a sudden meaning, And a quick nod shakes her ringlets, All her features screening.
For there comes a sound of laughter, And a merry cheering; And the cattle turn their faces To a step that's nearing— And she waits for words low spoken In a tone endearing.
Low behind the western tree-tops Now the sun is sinking, Towards the bridge the weary cattle Turn themselves from drinking— And they never guessed, as I did, What the maid was thinking.

WESTOVER WELL.
The advance of Gen. Butler up the York and James rivers brings our troops back to the spot which will never be forgotten in the American Armies—West Point, the White House, Fort Powhattan, City Point, Harrison's Landing, the Chicahominy. Few of these points had a greater celebrity in the past than the Westover Mansion, near Harrison's Landing, which was renowned in the chivalrie days of Virginia as the scene of many interesting incidents. Its well, also famous, has been sketched, and deserves a place before all the relics of the bygone time have passed away.
