THE GAINES CASE DECIDED.

This morning the Supreme Court room was crowded by brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, who had gathered to hear the decision of the Court in the cele- brated and very long pending case of Mrs. General Gaines. The opinion of the Court was read by Justice Wayne, and it is in her favor on all of the points involved, besides being the unanimous judgment of the Court. Several decisions of the lower courts are thus reversed. Mrs. Gaines was present when the decision was announced, and she was over whelmed with congratulations. The amount involved in this suit was nearl three million dollars. In the ordinance of secession of Louisiana, it was agreed that its adoption should in no wise invalidate the legal rights of parties in Louisiana to suits pending in United States Courts, so the action in this case does not affect Mrs. Gaines rights under that decision. Cincinnati Gazette.
 To those not familiar with this long stand ing case, now finally disposed of by the Su- premc Court of the United States, it may be proper to state that the suit was commenced in 1883, by Mrs Gaines first husband, Will liam Wallace Whitney-prosecuted during her widowhood after his death in lS36-du- ring the period after her marriage with Gen. Gaines in 1888, until his death in lS49-and from that time forward, by her in widowhood, and under most adverse circumstances, until the crowning point of her final and complete victory over all her enemies on the l4th March, 1861.

The Convention and Secession.

It will be seen from Little Rock dispatches in our telegraphic columns, that the Arkan- sas State Convention has at last settled upon policy. After having once defeated an or dinance of secession referable to the people for ratification or rejection, a similar one finally obtained passage on Tuesday last in that body, by a very large vote. The time which has been set apart for the people to deto~-i',o upon 1t, is the first Monday in August next. It thus seems that the rnuperatlon which seces- sion paro.s and leaders of the crossroads and small-town cliques have been heaping upon the Union members of the Convention was not altogether deserved. The action of that body on the ordinance, as mentioned above, certainly shows that some good, at least, can come out of the Nazareth of a Union maiori- ty Convention.
 Abuse and vile condemnation of the politi- cal opinions of any people, with however holy a will 1t is exercised, never yet persuaded or coerced them to the desired purpose. Calm reasoning, and a mild differing wed infinitely more influence upon the erring; and this should be the policy of the ardent admirers of secession during the period which will in tervene between the present and the time of voting upon the ordinance. LINcoLN's poli- cy, too, in the meantime, will have been so clearly developed that no doubt will remain as to his infamous purposes toward the South ern people and the institution of slavery.

SOUTHERN CONGRESS- THE PERNdNENT
 CONSTITUTTON

A telegraphic dispatch to the Augusta Constitutionalist, from Montgomery, gives the synopsis of the permanent Constitution of the Confederate States. The following Is the synopsis:
 ss No person of foreign birth, not a citizen of the Confederate States, shall be allowed to vote for any officer, civil or political, State or Federal.
 Under the first census, South Carolina shall be entitled to five Representatives in Congress, Georgia, to ten, Alabama to nine, Florida to two, Mississippi to seven, Louisia- ma to six, and Texas to six, and each State to two Senators. The State Legislatures may impeach judicial or federal officer, resident or acting in said State by two-thirds vote of both branches of the legislature. Congress may grant seats on the floor of either House to the principal officer of each Executive Department, with privilege of dis cussing the measures of his department.
 The representation of three-ifths of the slave population in elections Is continued.
 Congress is not allowed, through the impo- sition of duties, to foster any branch of indus try.
 The foreign slave trade is prohibited
 Congress is prohibited from making appro priations, unless by vote of two-thirds of both Houses, except for an appropriation asked by the head of some of the depart ments, or by the President.
 No extra compensation shall be allowed to any contractor, officer, or agent, after con- tract has been made and service rendered.
 Every law, or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, which shall be expressed in the title.
 The tenure of the office of President and Vice President shall be for six years.
 The principal officers of the Executive De partments, and of the diplomatic service shall be removable at the pleasure of the President Other civil officers shall be removable when ever their services shall become unnecessary, or for other good causes, but the causes and the reasons for the removal must be reported to the Senate. Practically, no captious re movals shall be tolerated.
 Other States are to be admitted into the Confederacy by vote of two-thrds of both Houses.
 The Confederacy may acquire territory, and slavery shall be acknowledged and pro- tected by Congress, and by the territorial gov ernment.
 When five States ratify this Constitution, 1t shall be established for said States and, until ratified, the provisional Constitution shall be continued in force, not extending, however, beyond one year.

KENTUCKY LOOMING UP. - Kentucky seems to be prominently on the carpet just now, as it has given birth to many of the characters figuring in the second American revolution. President Davis was born in Todd county, Kentucky, in 1908. Lincoln was born in Harden county, in the year 1909. Vice-President Breckinridge was born in Fay ette county, in 1921. Senator Crittenden was born in Woodland county, in 17S6. Jas Guthrie, the chairman on compromise resolu- tions in the Peace Conference, was born in Nelson county, in 1795. Joseph Holt, the late Secretary of War, is a native of Breck- inridge county, Major Anderson was born in Kentucky, in 1905. Gen. Harney is also a Kentuckian and Cassius Clay, both of whom are somewhat connected with the current crisis.

Troubles in the New Confederacy

The following extract from The Missisisppian in relation to the establishment of perma- nent Constitution, without voice upon it. directly from the people, shows state of things which is shortly likely to exist in the new Confederacy:
 "The constitution for the permanent Gov ernment before Mississippi becomes party to the compact, must be submitted directly to vote of the people of the State." It re- marks that Eff this is not done, the question of the right of the people to form their own government may require practical solution, D, before the New Order is fully established. They will not hold themselves bound by a government which they have had no hand in creating"

MR. LINCOLN in his inaugural, says he does not forget the position which many claim, that Constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, and he does not deny that such decisions must be binding, many case, upon parties to a suit as to the object of that suit" but it must be confessed by him that the policy of the Government upon vital ques- tions affecting the whole people cannot be ir- revocably fixed by the decisions of that body, while he admits that they are entitled to high respect and consideration" Now, the Constitution plainly says that the Supreme Court was created and vested with powers to adjudicate " in all matters arising under the Constitution treaties and laws of the United States" The builders of our Government in- tended the Supreme Court as the highest and final arbiter of all questions touching the construction of the Constitution, and also as to the powers which that instrument had con- ferred upon the several departments of the Federal Government. Its decisions upon all questions not only are entitled to high respect and consideration" but command obedience from all the departments and people of this Government But LINCOLN has assumed that the judicial is subordinate to the Legislative department of the Federal Government, and that its decisions, deliberately made, may be annulled by the decrees of the legislative body In other words, his position is, that where the Supreme Court and Congress may differ as to the construction of any clause of the Consti- tuition conferring powers on Congress, the op- tion of the latter must prevail, and the Court must 20 to the wall He would confer upon Congress the right to determine what its own powers are. Under this view of the matter, there is no limit upon the powers of Congress, except such as they see fit to impose upon themselves. The Constitution may define, and the Supreme Court may interpret, but it is for Congress alone to say whether it shall exercise, or refrain from, any powers what ever"

A DISPATCH from Richmond, Virginia says the plan of that State for the adjustifca- tion of the national difficulties has been set tied upon in slight modification of the Franklin proposition, which prevailed in the late Peace Conference.
 The substance of that celebrated amend ment to the Guthrie measures, in relation to slavery in the Territories, is that all north of 360 30, not embraced by the treaty with the Cherokee Indians, involuntary servitude, ex- cept for punishment of crime, shall not be permitted. And, in all south of said line slavery shall not be hindered or prevented by any law prohibiting the carrying of such property there, nor no law passed imparing the rights of such relation; but the same shall be subject 10 judicial cQgni@ancc in the Federol Courts accordng to He common la,r It seems to us, that the people of Virginia, in justice to themselves and the rest of the South, should have made a considerable modi- fcation in the Franklin amendments and the alteration should so have been as to put the institution of slavery in all the territory south of the drawn line, beyond constitution al doubt as its non-existence north of 1t has been placed. We very much think that Vir- ginia will be nearly alone in her glory in thus attempting to bind up the wounds of the Cnion and give it another horse"
