Kentucky ys, Ohio.

WASHINGTON, March H.-In the Supreme Court
to-day Chief Justice Tansy delivered his opinion in
the matter of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
against Governor Dennson, of Ohio, deciding that
it a of original jurisdiction and in effect,
State against another; and therefore the Court
has jurisdiction under the Constitution. 1t is a
case to compel the Governor of Ohio by n,anda.
mus, to surrender fugitive from justice from
Kentucky. The Court says that the demanding
State has right to have every such fugive deliv-
cred up.
That the State of Ohio has no right to enter into
the question as to whether the act of which the fu-
giuve stands accused is criminal or not in Ohio,
provided 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
Dy the laws OF Kentucky. That the act of Con
gress OF ll9S determines what evidence is to be
submitted to the State of Ohio. That the duty of
the governor Is ministerial merely, like that of
SherlH or marshai, and the Court appeals to his
good faith in the discharge of constitutional dutv
for the reason that Congress cannot impose any
federal duty on the officers of State. And on
these grounds the mandamus is refused

legatee under his last will, and such was entitled
to all the property, real and personal of which said
Clark died possessed; and the defendant, Henering,
having purchased certain property with full notice
of the nuiity of the title under which he held the
same, she is entitled to recover immediate posses.
sion it, with the rents and profits The Court
said measures would be at once taken to enforce
the decree. Justice Wayne said, in conclusion,
