IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Internal ReyeaWe License no Protection
for the Sale of Liquors Contrary to State
LaaUs.
WASHINGTON, March 26
The Supreme Court has decided the Massa-
chusetts liquor cases. The Court holds that
the licenses granted by the United States UNI
der the internal revenue laws for the whole
sale traffic of liquors held by the citizens of
Massachusetts do not protect in the sale or
keeping for sale of liquors within said State,
in view of the prohibitory laws of the State of
Massachusetts. The Supreme Court affirms
the decision Of the Court below.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Richardson, of Boston,
is to make an argument before the Committee
on Ways and Means, in favor of making licen-
ses protection for the sale of spirituous Ii
quors, instead of permission, as first decided
by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Boz Santa Anna has. issued q
stirring address to his countrymen
from Elizabethtown, N. j. The
!. General defines his position In ref
erence to the present aspect of Mexi-
can politics and the reports of his
treachery to Macmillan. He says
he did not in any manner compro-
mise himself with the Empire, be
belongs to the Mexican Republic
and he expects all Mexicans to unite
and drive the usurpers from their soil,
and offers his own services to the
cause. A monarchy in Mexico he
declares to be an impossibility, and
the restoration of the Republic is the
height of his ambition. No other
purpose, he says, could draw him
from retirement. and, this accom-.
plished, he will return to private life.
In conclusion he says he will not
sully his life with falsehood, but
seeks for his tomb new laurel tree
whose shadow shall cover it in the
midst Of peace.

KILLING AND MANNING OF CAT

KILLING AND MANNING OF CAT
TLE.-Our attention has again been
called to the villainous practice which
of late seems to have been revived
among some Of the freedmen living
In the outskirts of the city, of shoot
ing and manning cattle belonging to
citizens. An instance is brought to
our notice of the shooting and killing
of valuable cow belonging to one
of our citizens, and another instance
Of the gashing with an axe of
another. Such heartless and bru-
tai conduct should meet with severe
punishment. There can be no ok
cuse to justify it, and the MS able
pretext that the cattle had trespassed
Or were trying to trespass upon the
grounds or patches cultivated by
those inhuman creatures, is no iusti-
cation for the commission of such
barbarities.
Why do not the corporate authori-
ties enforce the ordinance passed
some time ago, requiring cultivators
of land in the vicinity, under certain
penalties, to enclose their premises
in such way as to preclude the
possibility of cattle trespassing upon
them I?

ANEcDorE OF HoUsroN. The Cairo
Times has the following anecdete Of
Sam Houston:
Houston used to make il point to
stop at Cairo, sometimes for three or
four days on bis way to and from
Washington. He usually employed
bis time in fishing from the stern
guards of wharf boat On one oc-
casion of this kind he ha d 'set to"
with Carlo youth which will bear
telling about.
The youth, like himself, was fishing,
Houston on the WHAT boat, the boy
on wood boat rnoore,d juse below
At the interesting june ure of q "bite'
at the boys bait, Houston threw out
bis liue, which became hopelessly en-.
tangled with that of the boy. There
was a pause. Neither seemed to have
word ft for the occasion. At last
Houston broke the silence:
"oouny, go elsewhere end fish, and
then we'll avoid entangllng alliances.
"You blasted old short coat" re-
torted the youth, Ego elsewhere your.
self and fish. -
~ apprehend that you are a very
saucy boy" returned the Senator,
"for whom there are by no means
rods enough in pickle"
"Now, look here, old skeezicks,"
cried the boy, fully agitated, II don't
want to quarrel with you, nor nobody
like you. Your name is Sam Dawson
and you live in Texas; and like every
body else, you stole a boss and had TO
go there, and now you're putin on q
big shine and calm y'rseIf Sam Hous-
ton" Saying which this very anna.
BILE young creature gave sudden
lurch, and pulled the honorable gen.
tleman's rod from his hands into the
river
subsequently heard Houston de-
tail the "set to-" which be did 10
style decidedly characteristic. Con.
Guiding the story, he said : II have
met men in debate at the bar, on the
stump, on the floor of Congress and
elsewhere, but never was | SO com
pletely discounted The boy had
decidedly the better of me, and from
his very looks determined that when
he said | stole 'hoss' he verify be-
lieved it."

A BIC DAYS BUSINESS. The 51st
U. S. Cold. Infantry being mustered
out of service was paid off last week
and on Saturday our streets and stores
were througed with the sable ex sol
diers, busily preparing to leave, many
of them for their old homes in Ala
bama, Mississippi and elsewhere. A
tremendous run was made upon the
merchants for trunks, valises, carpet
sacks, clothing, etc. The darkies
equipped in their new toggery and
bearing in their hands and upon their
heads and shoulders their various spe
cies Of baggage to the landing to await
the arrival of some steamer, looked
like vast moving corps of emigrantt
and seemed very happy in having ex
changed the military cap and uniform
and haversack and knapsack for theil
new style Of gear and travelling equi

REMARKABLE WEATHER.-After
raining for almost every day this
month, we can now boast of a respite
which bids fair until, at least, the
highly saturated earth can become
sufficiently dry to permit of a proper
working of the crops and the return
of the roads to a comparatively pas
sable condition.
On Saturday evening last, we had
a blow from the northwest which
produced a sudden lowering of the
heated temperature. The wind con-
tinued in the shape of pretty brisk
nor'wester all day during Sunday,
rendering the weather very dry and
clear and amazingly cool for the
season-almost cool enough for a
fr8t. Such sudden and extreme
changes are rather unwho'esome
particularly to those who are not
careful to keep up with them or who
are noyin a condition to endure them
