From our Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1882.


Prepare for good news! The Mission
airy Question is settled: and the Const-
tuition will yet be maintained in its primi-
tive spirit and vigor. Stepping into the
Supreme Court room this morning, had
the high satisfaction of hearing the VEN
cradle Chief Justice Marshall pronounc-
ing the opinion of the Court, REVERSING
THE JUDGMENT OF THE CoURr OF GEoR-
GIA, by which the Rev. Mr.. Worcester
and DIR. Butler have been for months
confined in the pententiary of that state.
Judge M'Lean, (the late Postmaster
General,) read an opinion, coinciding
entirely with the views Of the Chief Jus
tice-the veteran guardian of the Con-
stitution. The Judges were all of one
opinion, save Baldwin, who thought the
Court had no jurisdiction!-What will
the President do now3 We shall see.
The intelligence contained in the
foregoing letter, is the most important of
domestic character which we have re-
cieved since the Inauguration of General
Jackson. The decision declaring the
law void, under which the missionaries
were imprisoned, must go to the extent of
maintaining the faith of treaties, if not to
that of denying to Georgia any jurisdic-
tion over the Cherokee lands. 1t remains
to be seen, whether the authorities of
that state will submit and, should they
refuse to do so, whether the Executive
of the United States will enforce the Or
der of a coordinate branch of the gov
crnment, or subject himself to impeach-
ment. In either event, the Constitution
will be preserved, or the Union will be
dissolved.

then spoke for about two hours in opposi-
ton to the Protective System; and when
he had concluded, Mr.. Robbins gave no.
tice Of his intention to address the Senate
on the subject, and moved an adjourn
ment, which was carried. MIR. Robbins,
therefore, has the floor tomorrow.
In the House, the Post Office bill was
passed through Committee of the whole
on the State of the Union, and ordered
to be engrossed for third reading
Some time was spent in Committee of
the Whole on the Union, in the consid-
GRAFTON of the bill in addition to an act to
pro wide for certain persons in the land
and naval service, in the revolutionary
war. The Committee rose, reported pro-
gress, and asked leave to sit again.
In Senate, Thursday March |, sevc-
raj bills were ordered to third reading,
and various public and private acts pas
sed.
On motion ofMr. Webster, the Appor-
tionment Bill was taken up; when Mr..
Webster went, at considerable length,
into an examination of the ratio proposed
by the bill, to show that it was not only
unjust, but unconstitutional; and into an
exposition of a plan, which he submitted,
for obviating the injustice complained of,
and producing a much closer approxima-
tion to an equal and equitable represen-
tation of the population of the respective
States. When he concluded, he moved
that the bill be laid over till Monday, to
give time for the consideration Of the
subject; which was agreed to.
In the House, several bills from differ
ent Committees were read and referred.
The resolution of Mr.. Clayton for a COM
mittee Of Enquiry into the affairs of the
United States Bank, coming up for con-
sideration, a short debate ensued, when
MIR. Clayton obtained the floor, and the
House adjourned.
In the Senate, on Friday, March 9, a
number of petitions were presented-res-
olutions Introduced and bills reported
The Senate then again proceeded to
the consideration of Mr.. Clay's resolu-
ton, together with the mendment pro-
posed thereto by Mr.. Hayne.
MIR. Robbins addressed the Senate
two hours in support of the resolution.
Mr.. Moore then gave notice that he
intended to address the Senate ON the
subject; when
On motion of Mr.. Smith, the Senate
went into Executive business; and after
short time adjourned to Monday.
In the House, Mr.. Pearce, offered the
following resolution:-Resolved, That
the committee on commerce be instructed d
to inquire into the expediency OF making
an appropriation for the erection of ligh,
house on the South West point of Hog
Island near the harbor of Bristol, in the
State of Rhode-Island, and that the me-
mortal Of James D'Wolf, showing the
necessity of said Ii ght-house, be referred
to the same committee.
The till for the relief Of Mrs. Deca-
tur, was further debated in Committee OF
tho Whole.

A SUBJECT FOR REFLEcTIoN.-Agree-
ably to a memorandum kept by the Rev.
DIR. CATHcART, of York, Pa. it appears
that one hundred and nine murders were
committed in the United States, within
the year 1891. Some of these were of
the most appalling kind, such as parents
by their children, children by their pa
rent, husbands by their wives, and wives
by their husbands, SC. "A large propor-
ton of them are regarded as The conse-
quence ofan Incorporate use Of fardGpt spu-

to the very serious loss of the industri-
Gus poor Of that neighborhood.
Turkey was in a state Of apparent de-
cay. In addition to the revolt Of Egypt,
Damascus was a scene Of riot
The London papers Of the 18th contain
no news of importance.
Great Fire at Glasgow of the
most destructive fires that ever occurred
at Glasgow, took place on the l4th of
January, in Queens street, where court
Of fthree sides, Queens Court of great
extent, occupied chiefly as warehouses,
was burnt to the ground. The property
destroyed, most of which was insured,
was valued at one hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds sterling.
Paris paper states, it does not appear
on what authority that Russia has form
ed an alliance with the Schah of Persia,
to recOnquer Khiva, and was negotiating
for free passage to Herat on the road
to Cabul. 1t is alledged that Russia has
offered to repay to Persia the expenses
Of the last war, on condition of being per-
mitted to have a free passage through the
North of Persia.
A London paper says considerable con-
sternation has been excited at the Pavil-
lion, by the refusal of her Majesty to re-
ceive the wife Of one Of her illustrious
consort's brothers.
British Rioters.-The Special Com
mission for the trial of the rioters at Brs-
tol, brought its sitting to a close on the
18th. The Judges left that place for
London Immediately afterwards. The
cases connected with the riots were near
ly all disposed of on the 18th, and did not
much vary in their details from the 9TH
ers. The Commission extended to the
10th; but, as there were no more bills
before the Grand Jury the Chief Justice,
after disposing of some cases of larceny,
thanked them for their diligent discharge
of their arduous duties, and informed
them that there would probably be no
further occasion for their services. A
petition to the King, in favor Of five pris-
Oners condemned to death, was drawn
up on the 18th, and signed by number
of the most respectable inhabitants of
Bristol. They make the application on
the ground that the disturbances were
not premeditated.
AT the sitting of the Nottingham Spe-
cial Commission, the prisoners indicted
for burning Nottingham Castle, were dis
charged with an admonition, the crown
not prosecuting, for want of testimony
There were some convictions on other
indictments for arson, and five persons
were sentenced to death. The crimes
for which they were condemned, were
committed subsequent to reform meet
ting in October last, but were unconnect-
cd with its objects and proceedings
-Four others were convicted, but the
Court recommended them to the mercy
Of his Majesty.
The Coroner's Jnry who set on the
body of Col. Brereton, found that he died
from pistol wound inflicted by himself,
while laboring under temporary derange-
ment. The report of the proceeding on
the inquest is long and interesting.

"MARK THE RESULT"

"Aboui four counties of the fifty-three
in the State, are willing to forego Penn
sylvania candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency, or to submit the claims ofthe State
to the Baltimore Convention. These
counties will have about ten delegates
out of the one hundred and thirty-three
which compose the State convention
All the rest are for Pennsylvania and her
candidates. 1t is however amusing to
see with what eagerness the proceedings
of small county in Pennsylvania, which
dissents from the great mass on these
questions, are seized upon as evidence of
hesitation, in the course the good State
has marked out for herself. Those who
rest their calculations on such grounds
will be wofully disappointed. The Con-
vention of the 9th March will nominate
Dallas or Wilkins, and the State will
never degrade herself by abandoning
them"

The party Of the Administration seems
to be somewhat distracted by the claim
of the Vice-Presidency for Mr. Van Bu-

in revenge of the recent decision of the

and some signs in other quarters, we
doubt whether the party can be rallied
upon him, though it is openly avowed,
