From New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, Nov. l5.-Thc SUI
prcme Court of Mississippi has decided
that the State never lost its orsaniza-
ton as a government by reason OF seces-
sion or war, but that it was, in all re-
spects, not only de facto, but de jure, a
State, and the functions of government
were rightly and constitutionally eXer-
cised by those who exercised legislative
executive and judicial functions during
that time within the State. This opin-
ion of the court was delivered by Judge
Harris. and Judge j. Shellyerger, ofMis-
sissippi. IL was also decided that sales
and executory contracts made before the
surrender, founded upon Confederate
treasury notes, are valid, and can be
enforced now. Judge Clayter, some
time since, decided to the contrary
( These cases go before the Supreme
Court for final adjudication.

THE FENIANS.
= rial, Conviction and Sentence OF
Thomas SchooI---Dischnrye of Pat
ricL EOuabuc.

TopOXTo. Nov. l5.-The Court met ut
10 o'clock, when the Fenian trials We're
resumed. In consequence of the in
clemency of the weather the attendance
of spectators was small.
Thomas School was placed i'll the
dock. He is between twenty and TWEEN
ty-five years of age. He did not appear
to feel the serious position. He was
charged under six counts.
Mr. Mckenzie objected that the pris-
oncr was charged under two sets of
counts, specifying two different often
SEES, and that il was the duty of the
Isroceoyl -1r4c1lr~-- ---i';~'..-.' tl'." '"e''ld
His Lordship cverruled this objection,
Mr.. Harrison opened the case for the
crown. in which he explained to the
iury the law of the case. He told the
jury that it was their duty, after they
had heard the evidence, to say whether
the prisoner WAS an American citizen or
British subject.
After examination of witnesses, Mr..
Mckenzie addressed the jury i'll behalf
of the prisoner.
Il. 4. Harrison replied oh the part of
the crown.
His lordship then commenced the
charge. and having read over his notes
TO the Jury, stated that the defence set
up, of intOxication, was no defence in
law, If the jury believe the evidence,
they should find the prisoner guilty on
the 4th and 9Th counts, and that if being
found in arms with hostile intent
hut the circumstances were too doubtful
10 convict him on the 9th count, that OF
committing an act of hostility.
The Jury then retired, and after ar
absence of five minutes returned int
court with Il verdict of guilty in the All
and 9TH counts, and not in the others.
Hon. j. III. Cameron moved for judg
ment OH the prisoner.
Mr.. Mckenzie moved an arrest o
Judgment, that the verdict was foun'
in two counts, and that the prisone
could not be fonnd guilty, on the sam
indictment, of two distinct offences
and on the same ground as i'll the las
and former eases Of conviction, an,
that offences in the fourth and iiitl
counts, are not offences created by tn
second section of the act.
The prisoner, i'll reply TO his lordShir
said he had nothing to say why sentenc
should not be passed npon him.
His lorlship then sentenced him t
he hanged on the 18th of December.
Patrick Donahue was then placed il
the dock.
The Crown failed 10 prove any cas
against him, and his lurdship directe
an acquittal. The prisoner before leaN
ing the Court. addressing his lordshil
said: 'God bless you, my lord. an
gentlemen all" He then left with hi
friends.
This ended the Feuau trials for thi
week.
