An Important Legal Decision in the T.. s.
Circuit Court.


In the case of Sites & Romine vs.. Rich
ard Mathers, sheriff, which occupied the at
tent;on of tho United States Circuit Court,
for two days last week, the jury returned
verdict for the defendant for S2,3Os. A
motion was made by the plaintiffs for new
trial.
Judge Leavitt charged the jury in this
case, that writ Of replevin could not issue
from the Federal Courts against goods le-
gaHy in the possession of an officer Of Tie
State Courts, and that the Courts which
first obtained jurisdiction Of The property
held ii. Consequently, if tho jury should
find that tho goods reploviod were properly
in the hands Of the Sheriff, verdict must
be entered for the defendant, as that fact
would prove a bar to tho present action
In accordance with these instructions, the
jury gave verdict for the Sheriff.
This decision is ono of great interest to
litigants and the legal profession, and if sus-
tanned by the full Court, (Judgcs Mclean
Leavitt) upon the argument for new trial
this week, will settle an important principle
in regard to tho jurisdiction and distinct ac,
ton Of the Federal and State Courts, and
will prevent collision of authority, partic.
ularly in tho forced collection of debts, A
large number of suits arc already upon the
doekets, tho result of which will mainly be
governed by the instructions given to the
jury in the suit alluded to above, in case tho
views taken by Judge Lcavitt should, a
they probably will, be sustained by the ful
Court Cincinnati Gazette.

BURyING THE HATcHET.-The Ameri-
cans and Republicans of Buffalo and Erie
county have settled all their difference and
united in call for great county meeting
on the 9th instant, for the purpose of pro-
testing against the Kansas policy of the
President, and for uniting the parties in one
solid column of opposition to tho Buchan-
an Administration. The call is signed by
several thousand names, and according to
the Epress, embraces men of all shades Of,
politics. Those who helped to mako the,
Buffalo platform Of le4s, have joined with
tho supporters of Scott ard Pierce in S52,
and of Fremont and Fillmore in 1856, and
thus unite their strength for the coming CON
flict. This ono Of the most hopeful move
ments of the day, and should be largely i'm
itated.

MAD Does.-The Gallipolis Journal
states that hydrophobia in its most fatal as
pcct has appeared among the canine race in
Mason county, Virginia, and in and around
Porter, in Gallia county. Several valuable
cows have recently been bitten by mad dogs,
and some of these cases have already
proved fatal. Mr.. Y. Hannah, ferryman,
has lost two cows which had previously
been bitten, and two horses, one the proper
ty Of Mr.. John Steinbergen, and very val
liable, tho other belonging to Mr.. Roman
Manager, were bitten by a mad dog during
the fore part of last week. The horses were
bitten while standing hitched to fence on
the public road.
The Chillicothe Gasete also warns tho
public against mad dogs, several valuable
cattle having been bit by them in that re-
gion.

Bro. Orton of the Mirror last week
pitched into bro. Flaugber of the Democrat
for publishing a Know Nothing speech
against the Lecompton Kansas outrage
Times have wonderfully changed If we
rccollcct right bro. Orton was once "sound

ragos committed by the Administration up
on tho frcemen Of Kansas, as does bro.
Flaughcr now. How cffectually custom

iniquity is righteous and just. If the Mr.

be an able advocate for freedom of speech,

One OF THE VALUABLE COMMITTEES
The Albany Evening Journal in noticing
the fact that Mr.. Clay, from the Committee
on Commerce, reported against large num-
Der of public improvements, thus tersely
enumcrates the composition and qualities of
the valuable committee:
The principle function of this Senate
Committee on Commerce, appears to be to
obstruct commerce by every means in its
power. 1t opposes the bounties to the fish
ing trade. 1t opposes navigation on lakes
and rivers. 1t opposes necessary improve
mcnts of harbors. 1t suggests no protec-
ton against outrages on American vessels.
But what moro could be expected from such
a committee? Its Chairman is from Ala
bamy, State that never builds a ship p
Three Southern Planters, and N. Orleans
Lawyer compose the majority who control
its deliberations! Neither of the three
great commercial centres-New York, Bos-
ton and Baltimorc-have representative
in it. How much does committee thus
Constituted know or care about commerce

Nav |. 1853.

may l, 1905.
DEAR SIR: For your information, have
to say that | arrived here safe. We had a
very smooth passage, wind light, all the
way; we had the wind ahead till we got to
Turks Island. Port-au-Platte is blockaded
with seven mcn-of-war, and ours was the first
vessel tn 1t has got in since the blockade,
and | don't know as should have got in if
l had known that the port was under block
ade. We had strong breeze when we fell
in with the feet, and they commenced firing
on us, first with blank cartridges; but when
tho balls began to come, l began to open
my eyes. We were going at tho time
about ten knots, and big sea, so I couclu-
ded that they could not hit us, except by
good luck, so put her through, and got in
safe. When got within gun shot Of the
port, they opened on the enemy so | was
between two fires. We anchored and went
on shore. l thought the people would have
killed me with kindness. They wanted to
carry me all over town in their arms. We
are the first vessel that has got in since the
blockade. The enemy has seven men-of-
war off the port all the time The Domini-
cans have fivo men-of-war schooners now
in port, and had the offer of taking COM
mand of the Commodore's ship. They are
so much taken up with me that don't know
what to do with the people. They won't
take no for an answer, can get big
price for the Wing of tho Wind, but they
want mo to command her, and that won't
suit me, as have dislike of gun powder
| expect to leave here in six days. We arc
all well. II. B. PEARsALL.

An Item of Interest.

There is no greater nuisance in this town
than tho three or four thousand hogs now
running at large. They are roofing on the
public square, and around every fence
opening gates, and destroying door-yards
and gardens, and are double the trouble and
vexation to those who own no hogs than
all their necks are worth. Wherever they
go they leave their card, and no place is free
from their encroachments. Our citizens en-
deavored to get an ordinance passed last
season to compel owners of swine to keep
them out of the street. But the swine
having majority of the councilmen carried
the day. Since then they have added an
extra kink in their tails, and grunted
stronger determination to do as they pleased.
The plowing and manuring of the town is
now done on a moro extensive scale than
ever.
But as the council would give no relief to
our citizens We hope the following law of
the State of Ohio will have the cffoct Of
curtailing tho nuisance some. Let tho
part relating to swine be enforced immedi-
ately, and il will be some relief; lift does
not drive them out of our streets, it will
at least add to the School fund of the town
ship. Read the law:

Now Castle, Ind, May 81.
The County Treasurer's office of Henry
County was broken open this morning
and robbed, it is supposed of about eleven
dollars. This is tho second time
it has been robbed within few months
The first timo the thieves blew open the
safo with powder, and got about thousand
dollars. The Treasurer then got a new
safe from Hall & Co., of Cincinnati. There
wero three keys to it. These keys he took
home last night and hid in differ Mt places
in his bed room. In the night the bed
room was entered. Chloroform admins
tered to the man and his wife who were
asleep there, and two of the keys taken
The robber did not succeed in finding the
other key, which belonged to the inside
door, but they probably got that door open
by some other means. AS, however, thoy
locked the safe up again, and carried away
the two keys so that no one but the maker
can open it, nothing can certainly be known
about it till some one from the makers get:
here.
No ono doubts, however, but that the
money is gono, as tho inner door would pre-.
sent no very serious obstacle to tho robbers
after the outer ono was open, They locked
the safe up again, and took tho two keys
with them, in order to gain timo to get away
before anything can be certainly known.

Mr.. PUGH AND THE PREsIDENT.-Mr
Pugh's quarrel with tho President has re-
suited in an open rupture and rigid non
intercourse between them. Mr.. Pugh came
to Washington last fall an earnest support
er of the claims of one Dickinson, of Fre-
mont for Marshal of Northern Ohio. He
soon changed his mind and signed the ap-
plication Of Mr.. Gill. He then changed
and supported one Mr.. johnson. He sub
sequently abandoned this latter candidate
and renominated Gill to the President
The President, by the time Mr.. Pugh had
settled for tho second timo upon this candi-
didate, had resolved to appoint Johnson
Hearing Of it Mr.. Pugh went to tho White
House and distinctly preferred his claim, in
connection with tho two democrats repro.
scnting tho Judicial district, Burns and
Hall, Of debating the nomination. The
President modcstly suggested bis own right
and duty under tho Constitution. High
words ensued: Mr.. Pugh shook off the dus
OF his feet against the Executive Mansion
and tho President used the mildest oath Il
be found in the language to attest the Sc
verify Of his pledge that no person shoul(
hereafter be appointed with Mr.. Pugh's rec
ommeDdation. This little affair may pro
duce breach in the defenccs Of the Ohi'
Democracy.

TO TuE EpITon OF rnr MlssrssIprIAs:

|
q Dear Sir: In MSssissippian Of last
week, / read with pleasure an article over
the signature of "Votcr," Recommending
Hon. T. J Hudson as proper person for
the Office of Governor.
This article is heartily endorsed in all
sections of the State, aud cannot refrain
from making few additional remarks in
favor Of the gentleman referred to.
For twenty years past have been a
silent spectator of politics and politicians,
without the indulgence of personal asplra-
tions. 1t would, therefore, be aifectation to
profess no acquaintance with the caibre and
claims of the public men Of Mississippi, or
to pretend to no ability in the selection of
proper persons to fill our Offices and conduct
our Affairs.
In view of the fact then that the present
occupant of the gubernatorial chair has
expressed his wish to retire after the expi-
ration of his present term to private life, it
lis proper that Mississippians should begin
to cast about for his successor to that high
position. Without disparagement of the
claims of the distinguished gentlemen who
have been spoken of as suitable for election
to the Executive chair, allow me to press the
merits of the Hon. T. j. Hudson, of Mar,
shall county. Mr. Hudson has represented
his county with high distinction 10 the Leg
stature, for many years past, and has ac~
quired Il popularity with his colleagues that
no one has surpassed He is thoroughly
conversant with State and National politics,
but has become Identified with the former
from a strict observance of the peculiar in
terests Of Mississippi His distinction in
public life has not led him, as is too FIRE
quently the case, to forget the practical
bearing Of great measures of policy for the
indulgence of chimerical schemes and pos
litcal castle,buildng, but he has devoted
himself to the accomplishment Of results
that have been trlt, and will he lasting ben
efits to the whole people and to all sections
of the State.
The active part he has taken to advance
our agricultural interests has given him a
prominent position in The hearts Of his fell.
low citizens, and fully proves his great zeal
for their service and advantage. His efforts
to improve our agricultural condition have
been wholly successful, aud deserve the
reward which people, never forgetful of
valuable fidelity, will render him.
No man can be found more honest, more
capable, or more deserving, and the choice
Of .dr. Hudson by the next Convention, as
candidate for Governor, will lam satisfied,
rebound to the interests of the Democratic
party and of Mississippi. His eminent ser>
vices to his party and the State for many
years, deserve, as much as merit can deserve,
that distinguished testimonial of appreciation
aud popularity.
Yours, respectfully, aai
WINSTON.
