kMr. Davis, Of Maryland, from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, reported the following
resolution
RsSOipsd by ne Senate ead House Of Repre-
sentdtives Of he United Sfatss Of Amsried N
Corgrsss dSsembied, That the Congress Of the

the nations OF the world under the impression

Mr.. Brooks, Of New York, was In favor OF
the declaration If II was not to be mere bru-
tian ttlnSn.
Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland, said that would
depend upon the fact whether the resolution
expressed the opinions OF the people Of the
United States.
Mr.. Cox wanted the language more strongly
expressed and emphatic, and said action ought
long ago to have been taken to prevent mon
archy In Mexico.
Mr.. Davis briefly replied, saying he thought
the language sufficiently strong, and serving
as a sufficient warning.
The resolution was unanimously adopted

FOUR O'CLOCK. P. M.
THE GREAT QUICKSILVER CASE DECIDED.
The Almaden Company Sus-
tanned in All Points.
Decision Of the U. S. Supreme Court,

AprR 4, 1sO4.-Iu the United States Supreme
Court the case Of Charles Fossatt, -et al, other
wise known as the Quicksilver case, was de-
cided. The opinion of the Court, which was
very volumlnous, was delivered by Justice
Nelson. The decision was in favor Of the Quick
silver Company, fully dlSposlng Of all the
points In question.
This case is claim TO one league OF land
under grant to Justos Larios, and BY him
conveyed to Charles Fossatt, and by him to the
Quicksilver Mining Company.
One Of the questions in dispute was whether
the southern line Of the grant stopped at the
foot hills, or whether 1t extended to the main
sierra. If 1t stopped at the foot hills, then the
mint, which is located in these foot hills, would
be outside the grant and upon Government
land.
The court decided that the line extended to
the main sierra, thus locating the mine within
the grant. The mine, with the southern line
thus established, is upon the eastern portion Of
the grant and near the ranch Of Jose Berrcyosa,
which Joins this grant on the cast.
The representatives of Berreyosa claimed
that this eastern line should so be run as TO
place the mine upon the land of Bcrrcyosa.
The court decided that the line should be the
one previously run by the surveyor of Califor-
mia, which is a straight line from the junction
of Arroyo seco and Arroyo Almitos, due south
TO the main sierra.
This ends the litigation, which has been
pending for twelve years, and gives the mine
TO the Quicksilver Company. The immense
value of the property involved in this lltiga-
tion has given an unusual interest to the case.
The company are now the owners of the
mine aud one square league Of land. Upon
this they have two quicksilver mines, the
Almaden mine, AMI the Enriquita mine, stu.
ated east of the Almalon, In the same mine
ridge.
The Almadea mine has been worked for more
than ten years, and produces yearly nearly hall
of the quicksilver produced in the world.
Tho annual product is about $1,000 TASKS
per year. Each flask weighs 20 pounds, and
the gross cost of production Is about 10 cents
per pound.
The Enriquitn mine produces about foui
thousand TASKS. The average price of quick
silver is about sixty cents per pound. ThlI
makes the nett earnings Of the two mines ove
sixteen hundred thousand dollars per annum
All the product is in gold, as the quick
silver is mainly sent to foreign countries.
Judge Clifford, in his dissenting opinion
stated that Tie property ,Oas porM tOeHtV mil

THE ELECTION IN MARYLAND ON
WEDNESDAY.

The election which is to take place in Mary
land on Wednesday is a matter Of vital i'm
portance to that State. The people will then
vote upon the question Of emancipation
squarely, and, If we have not misread the Signs
of the times in this respect, they will take a
step in the right direction, which will result in
Kidding that fair State from an incubus that
has been the only bar to their material pros
perity, and has there, as everywhere else, proved
a moral canker and unmitigated curse.
Remove slavery from Maryland and she will
blossom like the rose in a very few years
Nothing on earth could prevent that Stat
from moving upward to that condition of pros
perity to which 1t is entitled by Its advantage
OF soil, climate, location, etc.
We are confident that majority Of the peo
pie OF Maryland are in their hearts sick o
slavery, and are deeply convinced that its re
moyal would prove an infinite benefit to tht
entire State In all Its interests. They have
only to act with energy and they will at the
polls on "Wednesday give quietus forever tc
that bad element which has checked theil
growth and made civil war in the country
that bad element which is repugnant to civil
zatIon and will work mischief and decay II
