r.. supreme Court.

We re-nublish this morning, from =" 1he
W,rla - a dispatch relative to two important
decisions recently made by the Supreme
Cont of the United Staies,-the one in the
case of Mrs. Gen. GAINES; and the other, in
the case of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
AGAINST the Governor of Ohio. The decision
in the former case was pronounced by asso
ciate Justice WAYNE, and was in favor OF
Mrs. G.. Chief Justice TANEY pronounced
the decision in the latter case. Although the
ssandamus asked by Gov. MAGoFFN on the
part of his State was refused, the important
uuestion at issue was decided in his favor, to
Nit. that the State of Ohio had no right to
enter into the question whether the act oil
which the fugitive stands accused is criminal
or not in Ohio, provided it was crime in
Kentucky, and that it was the duty of the
Governor of Ohio to deliver him up upon
proper proof that the act charged was crime
by the laws of Kentucky.
The fugitive in this case was charged will
slave stealing in Kentucky, and having es
capped to Ohio, Gov. MAGoFFIN, of Kentucky
made q requisition on Gov. DENNIsoS, o
Ohio, for his surrender. Gov. DESSIsoS re
fused to give him up, on the geound tina
elave stealing was no crime under the laws o
Ohio. The decision, therefore, settles an i'm
portant question in favor of the Southern
States, and we trust, will be observed in fu
ture by the non-slaveholding States.

The Supreme Court--The Mrs. Gaines
and Kentucky Cases.
WASHINGTON, March .

WAsHINGToN, March a.
In the Supreme Court to-day. Associate
Justice Wayne announced the decision in the
case of Mrs Mary G. Gaines. He said it was
of long standing, ard heretofore of doubtful
result The record covered three thousand
pages, and at least eight OF the ten points had
been ruled by the court with regard to 1t
At last it had been brought to conclusion.
The decision was, that she was the only legi-
innate child of Daniel Clark, and his univer-
sal legatee under bis last will, and as such
entitled 10 all the property, real and personal.
of which Mr.. Clark died possessed, and the de-
PENDANT. Heuning, having purchased certain
property, with full notice of the nullity OF
the title under which he held, she is entitled
to recover immediate possession OF 1t, With
the rents aud profits. The court said meas
ures would be at once taken to enforce the
decree: and Justice Wayne said, in conclu-
sion. the future writer of the history of juris-
prudence, would be obliged to register this
celebrated case as the most remarkable.
The Louisiana act of secession does not al
feet the Gaines case decision, which had been
pending for about thirty years, as all pend
ing suits in the United States courts In which
residents of that state were concerned were
exempt from interference. The amount III
volved is variously estimated at from two to
fifteen million dollars. Mrs. Gaines was in
court anu FeCelFeu Tue COuSTdtutotionS vi hCi
friends.
Chief Justice fancy delivered an opinion
in the matter. of the commonwealth of Ken
lucky against the governor of Ohio, Denni-
son, deciding it was a case of original juris-
diction, and, in effect, one state againts
another, and therefore the court has jurlsdic-
ton under the Constitution. It is case to
compel the Governor of Ohio, by n,anddmus,
to surrender fugitive from justice from Ken
lucky. The court says that the demanding
state has right to have every such fugitive
delivered up; that the State of Ohio has no
right to enter into the question as to whether
the act of which the fugitive stands accused
is criminal or not in Ohio, provided that 1t
was crime in Kentucky, and it is the duty
of the Governor of Ohio to deliver up. upon
any proper proofs that the act charged is a
crime by the laws of Kentucky; that the act
of Congress of 1898 determines what evidence
is to be submitted to the State of Ohio; that
the duty of the Governor is ministerial
merely, like that of sheriff or q marshal,
aud appeals to his good faith in the discharge
of constitutional duty, for the reason that
Congress cannot impose any federal duty on
the officers of State, but that such officers
are called upon by an ACT ofCongress to per.
form such duty as it conceives to be the good
sense and good faith on their part. And on
these grounds the mandamus is refused.-1ht

Plain Talk.

John Mitchell delivers himself as follows in
his last letter from Paris TO the Charleston
Mercury. John has evidently been unable to
arrange matters to his satisfaction:
On the whole, / would beg most earnestly
to impress upon you the conviction that in
Europe generally, but in England particu-
larly, you have no chance, no locus standi, no
pretension to be considered as Christian men,
or perhaps as human beings. except the cot
ton field alone. But for that, and the inter
ests hanging upon that. you would be hunt
ed from the face of the earth, and erased
from creation by the indignant voice of an
outraged nineteenth century, 1t falls to you
1t devolves upon you-especially, you
Southern men of America, to bring back
mems minds to. the manly and straightfor-
ward days of old-days when there were no
poor-houses, and when fathers and mothers
did not strangle their children for the sake
of the burial fees.

who viii be our next Governor,

1t is now time that we were looking
around to find some person to fill the position
which has for four years been held by our
present Governor. We know of no man
better qualified for the position than our late
Representative in Congress from the 9th Dis
trict, Hon. Emerson Etheridge. We know
that West Tennessee has for four years fur
nished the Governor, and if the Middle or
Eastern Division of the State have men to
press for that position who are equally well
qualified, justice would seem to require that
their claims should be treated with respect;
but if they have no such man, we would like
to see Etheridge in the field. Give US the
gallant Etheridge to lead the Union men in
Tennessee, and victory is certain. His nsme
is of itself tower of strength. The people
have great respect for him; be is enphati-
cally one ofthem: politicians have slandered
him, and have formed combinations to break
him down, but they can't do it; he is to-day
stronger man with the people of bis Dis
trict than ever before. We ask our ex-
changes to speak out on this subject, and let
it be known who is the choice OF the people.
