The ease Of "GoycrnOr' DOrr before the u
!. Supreme Court,

The Supreme Court has refused to
grant The writ Of error, applied for in
the case of Gov" Dorr, and decided
that lhoy had nothing to do with his
case, inasmuch as he was not imprson-
ed under or by authority of the United
States. Judge MCLEAN delivered the
opinion Of the Court. The learned
Judge took the ground that
"Neither this nor any other Court of
the United States, or Judge thereof, can
issue habcas corpus to bring up pris-
onor who is in custody under sentence
or execution Of a State Court for any
other purpose than 10 be used as wit
ness. Aud it is immateIial whether the
Imprisonment be under civil or criminal
process. As the law now stands, un
individual who may be indicted in a
Circuit Court, for treason against the
United States, is beyond the power of
Federal Courts and Judges, if he be in
custody under the authority ola State. "
Redress, it will be perceived, can
now only be obtained from the State, by
applying for pardon to the Legisla-
ture, which it is very probable would be
granted the Governor" on his proms-
ing allegiance TO the new Constitution
1t is very doubtful, however, whether
he will consent TO act at all i'm the pre-
misses, not possessing, as is pretty well
known, the most yielding disposition. =.
The Legislature, Of course, have the
power 10 lborate him unconditionally,
and may, perhaps, now feel more dis
posed to do so than they would while he
had case pending before the Supreme
Court, and especially as the efforts of
his friends there, in his behalf, have
proved entirely unavaiIing.

and brothers and sisters. He died at an advan-

A method is said to have been discovered in
England, whereby acood can be rendered as
hard and durable as iron or stone; and it is
further asserted that the wooden rails, thus
prepared. have been successfully substituted
for the iron rails in common use. The cost
of heavy iron rails, of the most approved kind,
is said to be in England not far from 7OO6 per
mile: rails made by the new method it is
| stated can be laid down for $500 per nsle.
The annual report of the Patent Office, for
the last year, makes mention of the discovery
as one likely to be of vast importance to this
country. The wooden rails have been used
| on the Dover Railroad, and others laid down
at Vauxhal., for experiment, have endured a
years travel without any perez ptibie injury
The process of preparing the timber is simply
this -
The pieces, after having been fitted BY the
| carpenter and joiner for their places, are in.
| troduced into an immense iron cylinder, which
| is then exhausted by an air pump. A solu.
ton Of the sulphate Of iron is then elected
which Immediately enters into the exhausted
pores of the wood. The wood is then with
drawn, and placed again in similar vacuum,
in solution Of mnriate Of lime, which coming
into contact with the sulphate of iron within
the wood, decomposes it, and forms an insolu
bic sui phate of lime, gypsum, within the
wood; and the muriate of iron, the other new
compound, goes about its business. So the
wood becomes thoroughly impregnated with
stone as hard as rock, and yet it is as tough
as it was efore.'-BaH. Pat.

Singular Instance Of Turkish Ehquette.-The
following circumstances may be mentioned
in proof of the rigid severity of the law
which forbids men to look upon the unveiled
faces of women, or even to enter the harem of
their nearest connexions. Emin Bey. colonel Of
engineers, and Dervish Effendi, professor OF ma
tural philosophy at Galata Serai, both studied
in Europe and principally in England, where
they laid the foundation for those requirements
that will probably raise them to high distinc-
ton in their respective departments. These
two young men married two sisters, both girls
Of good education, daughters of the Hekim
Bashy. The two husbands not being over
rich, and their young wives not having any
immediate dowry, the hrothers-ln-Iaw deter
mined to inhabit the same house and to share
expenses. This proposition being agreed to
by the families, good house was selected,
containing two commodious suites of apart
| ments.
! Here the two couples settled themselves and
! placed their establishment under the superin-
tendence of the professors wdo" ed mother
| Now, it might be supposed that two such nea,
connexions, living under the same roof, uni
ted purses, and having almost all interests ir
common, would join together in domestic
socialty, and form as it were one family. Blu
this is not the case. The two sisters inhabi
the same sitting room in the harem, and the two
men divide the same apartment in the saam
lyk; but each wife has her distinct chambers
into which the husband of the other never en-
tiers, SO that Dervish Efendi has never Sc
eyes on the unveiled face of his sister-in-Iaw
and Enin Bey has never looked upon the IN
covered features of his brother-in-law wife
Thus the two ladies are as complete strangers
to their respective brotners-in-Iaw as if the
were living under distinct roofs.
