Sangamon Valley Television Corporation v. United States
Solicitor General Rankin, Assistant Attorney General Hansen, Messrs. Warren E. Baker and Richard A. Solomon, for the United States and Federal Communications Commission.
Messrs. Monroe Oppenheimer and James H. Heller, for respondent Signal Hill Telecasting Corporation.
Messrs. James A. McKenna, Jr. and Vernon L. Wilkinson, for respondents American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres, Inc. and others.
On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
PER CURIAM.
The petition for writ of certiorari is granted. In view of the representations in the Solicitor General's brief on pages 7 and 8, concerning testimony given before the Subcommittee of Legislative Oversight of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce subsequent to the decision by the Court of Appeals in this case, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for such action as it may deem appropriate.
Mr. Justice CLARK and Mr. Justice HARLAN dissent. The matters referred to by the Court were not presented in the Court of Appeals and are not presented by this petition. Agreeing with the Solicitor General that denial of the petition for writ of certiorari would not foreclose appropriate consideration thereof by the Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals' judgments and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by the Court.

# Saturday Evening Gazette/June 7, 1856/A Perfumed Breath

​A Perfumed Breath.—What lady or gentleman would remain under the curse of a disagreeable breath when by using the “Balm of a Thousand Flowers” as a dentifrice would not only render it sweet but leave the teeth as white as alabaster? Many persons do not know that their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate their friends will never mention it. Pour a single drop of the “Balm” on your tooth brush, and wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent bottle will last a year. For sale by all Druggists.
# Saturday Afternoon

Written for a picture.
I love to look on a scene like this,  Of wild and careless play, And persuade myself that I am not old,  And my locks are not yet gray; For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart,  And makes his pulses fly, To catch the thrill of a happy voice,  And the light of a pleasant eye.
I have walked the world for fourscore years;  And they say that I am old, That my heart is ripe for the reaper, Death,  And my years are well nigh told. It is very true; it is very true;  I'm old, and "I bide my time;" But my heart will leap at a scene like this,  And I half renew my prime.
Play on, play on; I am with you there,  In the midst of your merry ring; I can feel the thrill of the daring jump,  And the rush of the breathless wing, I hide with you in the fragrant hay,  And I whoop the the smother'd call, And my feet slip up on the seedy floor,  And I care not for the fall.
I am willing to die when my time shall come,  And I shall be glad to go; For the world at best is a weary place,  And my pulse is getting low; But the grave is dark, and the heart will fail  In treading its gloomy way; And it wiles my heart from its dreariness,  To see the young so gay.

# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 11

The Mín in Shào Mín (召旻) is part of "Compassionate Heaven" in the first line. Shào is from a mention of the Duke of Shao in stanza 7 (not given here).
ODE 11, Stanzas 1 and 2. The Shâo Min.
The writer appeals to Heaven, bemoaning the misery and ruin which were going on, and showing how they were due to the king's employment of mean and worthless creatures.
Compassionate Heaven is arrayed in angry terrors. Heaven is indeed sending down ruin, Afflicting us with famine, So that the people are all wandering fugitives. In the settled regions, and on the borders, all is desolation.
Heaven sends down its net of crime;— Devouring insects, who weary and confuse men's minds, Ignorant, oppressive, negligent, Breeders of confusion, utterly perverse:— These are the men employed.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 8

Jiāng Hàn (江漢) is the first half of the first line in the three stanzas not given here, referring to the rivers Yangtze and Han.
Ode 8, Stanzas 4 and 5. The Kiang Han.
Celebrating an expedition against the southern tribes of the Hwâi, and the work done for the king in their country, by Hû, the earl of Shâo, with the manner in which the king rewarded him, and he responded to the royal favour.
Hû was probably the same earl of Shâo, who is mentioned in ode 5, as building his capital of Hsieh for the new marquis of Shăn. The lords of Shâo had been distinguished in the service of Kâu ever since the rise of the dynasty.
The king gave charge to Hû of Shâo:— 'You have everywhere made known (and carried out my orders). When (the kings) Wăn and Wû received their appointment, The duke of Shâo was their strong support. You not (only) have a regard to me the little child But you try to resemble that duke of Shâo. You have commenced and earnestly displayed your merit; And I will make you happy.
'I give you a large libation-cup of jade, And a jar of herb-flavoured spirits from the black millet. I have made announcement to the Accomplished one, And confer on you hills, lands, and fields. In (Khî-)kâu shall you receive investiture, According as your ancestor received his.' Hû bowed with ​his head to the ground (and said), 'May the Son of Heaven live for ever!'
* ↑ See note 2 on p. 386.
* ↑ The cup and the spirits would be used by the earl when sacrificing in his ancestral temple. Compare the similar gift from king Khăng to the duke of Kâu, in the Shû, p. 194. More substantial gifts are immediately specified.
* ↑ 'The Accomplished one' is understood to be king Wăn (='the Accomplished king'). He was the founder of the Kâu dynasty. To him the kingdom had first come by the appointment and gift of Heaven. It was the duty therefore of his successors, in making grants of territory to meritorious officers, to announce them to him in Khî-kâu, the old territory of the family, and obtain, as it were, his leave for what they were doing.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 10

Zhān Yǎng (瞻卬) corresponds to "look up to" in the first line.
Ode 10, Stanzas 1, 5, 6, and 7. The Kan Zang.
The writer deplores, with an appealing wail to Heaven, the misery and oppression that prevailed, and intimates that they were caused by the interference of women and eunuchs in the government.
The king addressed in this piece was most probably Yû. It suits his character and reign.
I look up to great Heaven, But it shows us no kindness. Very long have we been disquieted, And these great calamities are sent down (upon us). There is nothing settled in the country; Officers and people are in distress. Through the insects from without and from within, There is no peace or limit (to our misery). The net of crime is not taken up, And there is no peace nor cure (for our state).
Why is it that Heaven is (thus) reproving (you)? Why is it that Heaven is not blessing (you)? You neglect your great barbarian (foes), And regard me with hatred. You are regardless of the evil omens (that abound), And your demeanour is all unseemly. (Good) men are going away, And the country is sure to go to ruin.
Heaven is letting down its net, And many (are the calamities in it). (Good) men are going away, And my heart is sorrowful. Heaven is letting down ​its net, And soon (all will be caught in it). (Good) men are going away, And my heart is sad.
Right from the spring comes the water bubbling, Revealing its depth. The sorrow of my heart,— Is it (only) of to-day? Why were these things not before me? Or why were they not after me? But mysteriously great Heaven Is able to strengthen anything. Do not disgrace your great ancestors:— This will save your posterity.
* ↑ By 'the net of crime' we are to understand the multitude of penal laws, to whose doom people were exposed. In stanza 6, Heaven is represented as letting it down.
* ↑ Compare ode 9 of the fourth decade in the former Part.
* ↑ The writer in these concluding lines ventures to summon the king to repentance, and to hold out a hope that there might come a change in their state. He does this, believing that all things are possible with Heaven.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 3

Sāng Róu (桑柔) corresponds to "young mulberry tree" in the first line.
Ode 3, Stanzas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. The Sang Zâu.
The writer mourns over the misery and disorder of the times, with a view to reprehend the misgovernment of king Lî, appealing also to Heaven to have compassion.
King Lî is not mentioned by name in the piece, but the second line of stanza 7 can only be explained of him. He was driven from the throne, in consequence of his misgovernment, in B.C. 842, and only saved his life by flying to Kih, a place in the present Ho Kâu, department Phing-yang, Shan-hsî, where he remained till his death in B.C. 828. The government in the meantime was carried on by the dukes of Shâo and Kâu, whose administration, called the period of 'Mutual Harmony,' forms an important chronological era in Chinese history. On the authority of a reference in the Zo Kwan, the piece is ascribed to an earl of Zui.
Luxuriant is that young mulberry tree, And beneath it wide is the shade; But they will pluck its leaves till it is quite destroyed. The distress ​inflicted on these (multitudes of the) people, Is an unceasing sorrow to my heart; My commiseration fills (my breast). O thou bright and great Heaven, Shouldest thou not have compassion on us?
The four steeds (gallop about), eager and strong; The tortoise-and-serpent and the falcon banners fly about. Disorder grows, and no peace can be secured. Every state is being ruined; There are no black heads among the people. Everything is reduced to ashes by calamity. Oh! alas! The doom of the kingdom hurries on.
There is nothing to arrest the doom of the kingdom; Heaven does not nourish us. There is no place in which to stop securely; There is no place to which to go. Superior men are the bonds (of the social state), Allowing no love of strife in their hearts. Who reared the steps of the dissatisfaction, Which has reached the present distress?
The grief of my heart is extreme, And I dwell on (the condition of) our land. I was born at an unhappy time, To meet with the severe anger of Heaven. From the west to the east, There is no quiet place of abiding. Many are the distresses I meet with; Very urgent is the trouble on our borders.
Heaven is sending down death and disorder, And ​has put an end to our king. It is (now) sending down those devourers of the grain, So that the husbandry is all in evil case. Alas for our middle states! All is in peril and going to ruin. I have no strength (to do anything), And think of (the Power in) the azure vault.
* ↑ These three lines are metaphorical of the once flourishing kingdom, which was now brought to the verge of ruin.
* ↑ That is, the war-chariots, each drawn by its team of four horses.
* ↑ The young and able-bodied of the people were slain or absent on distant expeditions, and only old and gray-headed men were to be seen.
* ↑ Intimating that no such men were now to be found in office.
* ↑ Meaning the king by his misgovernment and employment of bad men.
* ↑ We must translate here in the plural, 'the middle states' meaning all the states subject to the sovereign of Kâu.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 6

Zhēng Mín (烝民) corresponds to "the multitudes of the people" in the first line.
Ode 6, Stanzas 1 and 7. The Kăng Min.
Celebrating the virtues of Kung Shan-fû, who appears to have been one of the principal ministers of king Hsüan, and his despatch to the east, to fortify the capital of the state of Khî.
Heaven, in giving birth to the multitudes of the people, To every faculty and relationship annexed its law. The people possess this normal nature, And they (consequently) love its normal virtue. Heaven beheld the ruler of Kâu, Brilliantly affecting it by his conduct below, And to maintain him, its Son, Gave birth to Kung Shan-fû.
Kung Shan-fû went forth, having sacrificed to the spirit of the road. His four steeds were strong; ​His men were alert, He was always anxious lest he should not be equal to his commission; His steeds went on without stopping, To the tinkling of their eight bells. The king had given charge to Kung Shan-fû, To fortify the city there in the east.
* ↑ We get an idea of the meaning which has been attached to these four lines from a very early time by Mencius' quotation of them (VI, i, ch. 6) in support of his doctrine of the goodness of human nature, and the remark on the piece which he attributes to Confucius, that 'the maker of it knew indeed the constitution (of our nature).' Every faculty, bodily or mental, has its function to fulfil, and every relationship its duty to be discharged. The function and the duty are the things which the human being has to observe:—the seeing clearly, for instance, with the eyes, and bearing distinctly with the ears; the maintenance of righteousness between ruler and minister, and of affection between parent and child. This is the 'normal nature,' and the 'normal virtue' is the nature fulfilling the various laws of its constitution.
* ↑ The connexion between these four lines and those that precede is this:—that while Heaven produces all men with the good nature there described, on occasions it produces others with virtue and powers in a super-eminent degree. Such an occasion was presented by the case of king Hsüan, and therefore, to mark its appreciation of him, and for his help, it now produced Kung Shan-fû.
* ↑ This was a special sacrifice at the commencement of a journey, or of an expedition. See note 2 on p. 399.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/The Major Odes of the Kingdom/Decade 3/Ode 7

The Yì in Hán Yì (韓奕) doubled corresponds to "Very grand" in the first line. Hán is mentioned throughout the poem.
Ode 7, Stanzas 1 and part of 3. The Han Yî.
Celebrating the marquis of Han:—his investiture, and the king's charge to him; the gifts he received, and the parting feast at the court; his marriage; the excellence of his territory; and his sway over the regions of the north.
Only one line—the first of stanza 3—in this interesting piece serves to illustrate the religious practices of the time, and needs no further note than what has been given on the first line of stanza 7 in the preceding ode. The name of the marquisate of Han remains in the district of Han-khăng, department of Hsî-an, Shen-hsî, in which also is mount Liang.
Very grand is the mountain of Liang, Which was made cultivable by Yü. Bright is the way from it, (Along which came) the marquis of Han to receive investiture. The king in person gave the charge:— 'Continue the services of your ancestors; Let not my charge to you come to nought. Be diligent early and late, And reverently discharge your duties:— So shall my appointment of you not change. Be a support against those princes who do not come to court, Thus assisting your sovereign.'
When the marquis of Han left the court, he sacrificed to the spirit of the road. He went forth, and lodged for the night in Tû.

# Putnam v. United States (Hempst. 332)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
​JOHNSON, J., said, this petition is filed by persons claiming undivided interests, by mesne conveyances from the grantee, in the grant of Elisha Winter, alleged to have been made in 1797, and for the confirmation of which grant, a petition has been filed in this court by his legal representatives, and is still pending. The petitioners in this case pray for the confirmation of their respective interests, derived through such mesne conveyances, or to receive scrip proportionate to such undivided interests. The petition really is for a confirmation and division by this court of the grant made to Winter, according to the alleged rights of these petitioners, as shown by the mesne conveyances set out in the petition. The district attorney has pleaded the pendency of the suit by the heirs of Elisha Winter, as to part of the petition, and demurred to so much of it as prays a division, because he avers that the act of congress of 26th May, 1823, does not give this court any authority to divide or partition claims, but merely to confirm or reject them.
And that is undoubtedly a correct position. It was not intended by that act to bring into this court the determination of controversies between intermediate claimants, or the ascertainment of the validity of conveyances, and the numerous and difficult questions frequently, and indeed generally, incident to divisions of property. This is a special tribunal for particular purposes, and armed with no such authority.
The government has afforded grantees and heirs and legal ​representatives an opportunity to test the validity of their claims, and if found good such claims are confirmed, and this may be considered as a judicial renunciation on the part of the government of all title. All other questions are left to be determined in other tribunals of the country. It is no concern of the government as to who is the particular owner. The real inquiry in these cases is, whether the government is the owner; and when that is decided against herself, she has no further concern in the controversy, and certainly cannot allow the owners to divide and parcel out their property, and settle their rights as against each other in this tribunal. This court has no such jurisdiction.
The plea and demurrer are both well taken, and the petition must be dismissed.
Petition dismissed.
On the 31st October, 1846, a motion was made to reconsider, but it was overruled by the court.
