IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SU.
 PRENIE COURT.

Yesterday, says the Baltimore Trans- cript, of the 4th, the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of certain petitioners, who had been convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to death by Military Commission sitting in the State of Indiana, which sentence was commuted to Imprisonment, decided that they should be discharged from custody, the tribunal before which they were tried having no legal Jurisdiction. It is believed that the decision affects the cases of Jefferson Da- wis and Clement c. Clay, in relieving them from trial before Military Commis- sion. This being the case, they can only be brought before the United States Court of the Districts in which the alleged offenses were committed.
 The Radicals, who are anxious for " a little more blood-letting," may thus be dis appointed of their prey, for it would be hard to find jury in Virginia that would convict Mir. Davis, where the people be- lieve that they are quite as culpable as the President of the late Southern Confeder. acy.
 The special Washington correspondent of the New York Express, says another i'm portant decision has been made by the Court, namely-that the test oath is ,a,- consatational This, it is stated, was de- tcrmined by a vote of five to four, but is withheld for the present in difference to the expressed wish of the minority. The Court has adjourned over till the next term, when the decision will be made public.

The same penalties are provided for all persons who pour water into street letter-boxes and otherwise deface mail matter in them. It also repeals the law which authorizes postmasters to contract with the publishers of newspapers, periodicals and circulars for delivery to carriers within the postal district of any publication not coming through the mail, at rates and upon terms to be agreed upon with such publishers. A proposition to amend the present law, allow ing the Postmaster General to select any newspaper, without regard to circulation, in which to advertise undeliyered letters, was voted down. The law still requires it to be given, therefore, to papers having the largest circulation.-[ Memphis Appeal.

The chairman explained the object of the meet ing to be the organizing of the company, and for obtaining capital stock to the said road. By motion, J. E GREENWOOD, Esq, was requested to read the proceedings of the Des Arc meeting, after the reading of which, he made some very appropropriate and forcible remarks Col BURNEY was then called upon, who responded by de livering a very handsome address in favor of building the road MT N.

EXECUTIVE AND OTHER VETOES.

Under this heading the Cincinnati Na- tional Jnion, Radical Republican gener- ally in its politics, has an editorial on the recent important events in Congress which evinces sense of justice and breadth of true patriotism seldom to be found in that quarter. It is so appropriate that we transfer the material portions to our col umns, and bespeak for it an attentive pe- rusal:
 An effort is being made to cause the public to believe that the differences which now exist between the President and the Radicals in Congress were brought about, in fact, eourted by the former, while facts will clearly prove that the Radicals are alone responsible. Great stress has been laid upon the use by the President of the term "my policy" and he is charged with egotism in it's recurrence in his speeches His was the only policy that was enuncia- ted. Congress had no policy, therefore he could not allude to it other than as his policy, with which he invited and entreat ed Congress to cooperate, believing as he did that it was the only policy that would

'sMR. LEE."-A Chicago sheet in super cilious article touching the testimony of Gen. LEE before the Committee on Reconstruction, so frequently speaks of the illustrious Confed- crate Communicated Chief, as Mir. LEE, that tits apparent that the writer fancies by this subtraction of Gen. LEES military title, he is belittled in the minds of Chicago readers. This is characteristic of a not nconsderable class of people in the North, we apprehend-- natural born funkies who covet titles while protesting radical leveling demoeracy-and among whom, alone, could be found fellows who are capable of supposing they may abate one .iot of the moral stature of ROBERT E. LEE by the petty impertinence of designating him as MT. LEE; designation which, be it ob- served, in these times of cheap, broadcast titles, is one of some distinction. n.-[ Memphis Appeal.

seg- We are in the midst of fearful

RT- We are in the midst of a fearful revolution in all that pertains to the na- ture of government. The practicability of Republican institutions and government has long ben debatable question. The disposition of the Radical party now seems to be to test to its utmost extent the strength of government whose protect ing influence has ever been thrown around them, and whose fostering care has reared them and made them what they are, great in all save principle. Not satisfied with the defeat that has met on every hand the measures with which they attempted to de grade free and enlightened people, they continue to bring to light other darling schemes by which all that is noble and good may be destroyed Vice, corruption and ignorance given full sway, thereby elevating themselves to power, that they may control, rule and ruin . truly great Government. It is indeed gratifying to all who love justice and right, to know that there are in the councils of the na- ton some at least who do not wink at this destructive policy. In the President with his vetoes, and in the manly supporters of his policy, that stand nobly by him we have evidence that there is yet much to hope for. That the star of our republican greatness which now seems dim, may yet shoot forth froIl Deiiind she cloud to dag gle the world with its brilliancy.
 To what the Civil Rights bill--which in all probability has passed in the Senate oyer the Presidents veto--tends, remains to be seen. If carried to the Supreme Court; it is expected by all thinking men that it will be defeated Let us hope that this will be so, and that fanaticsm thus defeated, V in the bitterness of its disappointment grieyc itself to death.
