Col. WILLIS A. GoRMAN, acting Governor
of the Territory Of Minnesota, passed night
before last in our city, ca route for Wash
ington.
Governor GORMAN IS by no means forgot
ten by the people of Indiana, among whom
he cast his lot when a poor boy, and from
whom he has received many offices of trust
and honor, the duties of which he always
discharged with marked distinction. At the
commencement of the war With Mexico he
volunteered his services to his country and
was elected by hattering vote to Major
ity in the Sd Regiment of the Indiana Vol
unteers. General TAYLOR complimsnted him
at the battle OF Buena Vista by detailing O
force under his command for especial ser.
vice on the Heights adjoining the plair
where the main battle was fought. His gal
liant bearing and that of the troops under hi
immediate charge received the distinguished
approval of the General in command.
In Al Maj. GoRMAN returned to Indiana
and superintendent the organization of IN,
troops who constituted the 4th Regiment o
the Indiana Volunteers. He was almost
unanimouslx,shosen Colonel of these forces
with who1s.he ifnediately proceeded t.
Mexico The-Service he and his Regimen
rendered under General LANE, at Huamantla
Puebla and many other places, are matter
of history, and require no comment at on
bands. Ssuffice it, that with all his peculiar
ties, he returned from the fields of his man,
achievements. with a reputation and popu
larity surpassed by none Of his cotemporarie
of the camp
After the War the Colonel was elected t
Congress and sefTrsh his district wit
the same ability which had previously mad
him shining mark in whatever situation
had filed. At the Inauguration of Presider
PIERCE the Colonel was appointed to tn
Governorship of Minnesota In the dis
charge Of his executive functions, he hs
been brought in collision with powerft
Railroad monopoly, and at one time VIZ
threatened with political destruction by tn
wonderful money power which the corpors
ton in question controlled. He has, how
ever, triumphed most REALISTICALLY over h
enemies, and, with his distinguished affair
ments, bids fair to become one of the mo.
successful statesmen of the Great West.
We wish him every prosperity.

PHILADELPHIA, sep. o.
Judge Black, this morning, read the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court, in special session,
held here, upon the Williamson case. The
writ of Habeas Corpus was refused on the
ground, that the Supreme Court has no juriS-
diction to interfere with the judgments of the
Federal Courts All Courts have the exclu-
sve power of deciding eases of contempt, and
this Court would not interfere with the action
of The District Court in the premises. JUDGE
Knox hissented from the exemption. slile
malcuty of the Court contending that the
case was one demanding the interference OF
this Court; that the District Court had no
power to issue writ of Habeas Corpus at the
instance of Mr. Wheeler; that power being
in such cases specially delegated to the State
Courts, by act of Assembly, and that Mr.
Williamson was guilty of no offence, BY his
answer to the summons. The Court Room
was densely crowded.
