THEMAINELAw oFMIcHIGAN UNcoS

THEMA1NELAw oFMIcHIGAN UNcoEs-
Law, recently
put into operation in Michigan has been
decided to be unconstitutional. The
grounds on which the decision is based
are:
1st. That the law was submitted to
the people.
Cd. That it contains a provision for
licensing agents to sell Liquor under GER
tain conditions.
Sd. That it makes no provision for a
trial by jury Of persons prosecuted un-
der 1t.
The effect of this decision is TO nulliiy
the law and renew the traffic in ardent
spirits in this city, under the law OF 1881
at least until the question shall have
been definitely settled by the Supreme
Court, unless, contrary decision car
be had from some other Justice in the
meantime.
In this event defendant will be requir.
ed to enter into bonds Of 200 not to VIC
late the law while the case is depending
before the Supreme Court Exchange
1t will be perceived that the above de
cision was made by Justice.

TRANSFERRED here cfslate: The Supreme
Court commenced Is winter session on
Tues day the 18th. The Bench is full
There are not as msny members. of the
Bar present, from al arts of the State,
as there usually ID on account of a
court rule adopted at the last session
The court now, insteal of persuing the
old mode of calling tle courses in the
order of the calendar, proceed with the
business by circuits, ind in numerical
order; SO that counsel can Judge more
accurately at what tinr their business
will come before the coirt, thereby sa-
wing much time and money to them.
The business of the court has passed a.
long SO far, with its u.uaI rapidity.-
There is quite large attendance Of
lawyers from the lst and End, circuits.
Motion has been made 80 vacate the
judgement awarded at tie last session,
to Ryan for his services in the Impeach-
ment case. 1t will be argued when Ry-
an answers the notice of motion to va
cate. 1t is not probable that the iudg-
ment will be vacated, for the inry that
gave the verdict was a good one, and
there is no doubt but that they inten-
ded to do justice to both parties. That
/ judgement seems TO be ssbitter pi.l'
for Judge Hubbell and friends. 1t will
be the cheapest in the end, for the State
to pay the judgement for in iegislating
upon it, it will not take mulch lime to
make an amount equivalent to the judge
ment.
1t is not very lively about tie Capt.
tol just now-but it is anticipated lit
tie ''stir" will be made about the first
of January when the new officers enter
upon their duties.a
The University of Wisconsin is in a
fair condition of prosperity now. The
present session closes on the 9Th Of
February, when general exhibition
comes off. The number of speakers to
exhibit on the occasion is ten, and from
the selections which have been made it
is thought the affair will pass off in a
degree highly creditable Of the Institu-
ton and its efficient Faculty.

AN ON AccoUNT.-A bachelor son
OF Erin who keeps a sort of grog-
gerry few doors south Of Walkers
Point Bridge--we can't say whether he
has his license or not--says a suit was
bro't against him this morning to recov-
|er an old account of So, which he new
er intended to pay, and the Justice de-
clded the case against him, and he had
to fork over the amount with some addi-
iional cost. When asked why he didn',
pay the debt, he replied that he didn't
believe there was a man in town that
would pay his debts if he could help it.
He is evidently an ardent believer in
the 'total depravity'' theory. He wan
ted to know if we would put him in the
paper. We told him we thought we

RENTING MosEY ny MAIL.-A
very important case has recently comes
before the United States District Court
at Richmond, Va, Chief Justice fancy
presiding, in which The question arose
whether money semitted by mail from a
debtor to q creditor, such money being
lost before it reached It's destination was
a release Of the debtor from obligations
of the debt. The Chief Justice decided
that the plaintiff having requested his
debtor to remit the money, without spe-
cifying or directing how it was to be
sent, and the defendant having complied
with the request by RENTING through
the mail as was the custom with others
to do, the debtor would not be held obi
ged to make good the less. The decis-
ion is in conflict with other eases invol-
wing the same principle, the Chief Jus,
tice holding that the former decisions
were not correct.
