DECISION OF THE M'LEOD CASE.

The Supreme Court of New York has decided
unanimously against the discharge of Alexander
ion that the adoption by the British Government Of
the act, for which he stands indicted, is not suf-
cien, ground for discharges nor can the allegations
though proved tina, the act was public net, per-
formed in obedience to orders from superior Off
GERS, exempt him from the ordinary process of
lava trial by jury.
The case must now be tried by a jury, on the
indictment, unless an appeal be taken to the Court
of Errors, (he State Sena,e.) 1t is understood
that an appeal will be taken, and, in the event thai
the present decision be affirmed by the Court of
Errors that measures will be taken 10 transfer the
case to the L. s, Supreme Court.

uu,nry ncl of lhe Government, which he could mol

untary act of the Government, which he could not
by possibility have received notice of? am sure
not 1t cannot be that we have vet come to the
conclusion to initiate the example Of he tyrant OF
Rome, and post our laws so high upon The columns
of the Capitol that they cannot be read, and then
punish their violation.
Such then would be the condition into which the
country and the public treasure would be thrown
BIZ this hasty passage of this repeal bill, in its pres
ent form; while the question as to any substitute
was mere contingency. Some substitute may or
NAV not pass at the present session; but until that
is done, and until National Bank can be put in
operalion, if that shall be the substitute, the mise
rnble remnant of the deposite Inv of 1885, which
has not been made imperative by the action of the
banks themselves, is all which is 10 prevent the
whole public revenue from falling within Execu-
tive discretion, exactly where it was after the re-
moyal of the deposites from the Bank of the United
States in 1888, when the honorable Senator from
Kentucky MIR Clay] detained with so much force
and eloquence against the union of the purse and
the sword in the single hand of the President
Now, if the gentlemen will have a little patience,
and endure the sight Of the old house a short time
longer, they may avoid these consequences which
they have so recently considered of extreme dam
ger, and have the further benefit of being able to
learn whether they can build new, or, in case of
the destruction of the old edifce, will be compell-
ed to remain upon the pavement, OF seek shelter
for our treasure in the Executive mansion.

cept so far as regards the elections for the new

ALARMING SYMPTOMS.

The following is copied from the New York
Courier of the 10Th instant:
"Mr Clay is known TO be more or less respon-
sible for the Extra Session. and if it should prove
failure; if he shauld lose his bank bill and land
bill, and the wing party break up before it has re-
deemed its solemn pledge to the people, his politi-
cal ruin is deemed certain; and it is hoped out Of
these elements and the moderate men of the Loco
Foco party, together with the Conservatives, 10
constitute a third party rallying around Mr. Tyler,
with view of running him for second term, in
defiance Of his written pledges in favor Of one term
1t is charged also, that Mr. Webster and Mr. Gran
ger, from motives of hostility TO Mr. Clay, have
Welded their assent 10 the half and half scheme of
the Treasury Department. and cOunieaonce tho
movement Of Mr. Rives in the Senate, in the hope
of thereby prostrating Mr. Clay, by defeating him
on his bank BILL and it is believed that the wing
leaders generally, at Washington, are looking 10
the game for the succession, and to the interest of
or that individual, far more than to their duty TO
the people and the success Of the great measures
for which the wing party have struggled for twelve
long years"
The New York Herald says:
"We have every reason TO believe that Henry
CLAW is at the bottom Of the civil war upon the
Cabinet. He has written letters TO this city stating
that he is doubtful Of the of the bank BILL
because some Senators wish to please "certain
