THE FRIeATE sUsQUEHANNA AT FORTRESS
MoNRoE-RAvAaEs OF THE YELLOW FE-
YER. N u
FoRTREss MoNRoE, May 8.-The United
States steamer Susquehanna, the flagship of
the North Atlantic squadron, Rear Admiral
Palmer commanding, arrived here rather
unexpectedly last evening. 3
She sailed hence about two months since
on voyage of inspection among the vessels
Cruz thence to Port au-P Prince, Port Royal,
Kingston, Cape Haytien, and other ports in
the islands, and visited various gunboats.
The day after her arrival at Cape Haytion,
one of the landsmen, w. II. Seaman, of
Rockaway, New York, died, and was buried
on shore. He was taken sick shortly after
leaving Kingston, and his malady exhibited
every symptom of the dreaded yellow fe-
yer. ssrr. .t.r..r -.rsot, fp .-,9ts
Others of the ships crew were attacked
with the fever in its most virulent form, and
as it was rapidly spreading, the Admiral
sailed Immediately for q more northern and
cooler latitude There was no sickness,
either ashore or afoat, at Kingston or Cape
Haytien, and it is an unexplained phenome'
non to the officers of the ship where the
disease could have been contracted. The
fever was checked after leaving Cape Hay
tien, and all the cases, seven in number,
showed symptoms Of improvement, and as
sumed milder form. DR.. Cooper, the post
surgeon, visited the ship this morning, and
found that the patients had the genuine fe-
yer, but in an exceedingly mild form.

On Sunday afternoon last German nam
ed Henry Denim, was attacked near the rail

the men, came to Pottsville on Wednesday
last, and obtained warrants for their arrest
On the same afternoon three Irish despe-
radoes went from Mahanoy Township to

Ringtown they fred two shots at man

wanted to rob him.

saw them coming and suspecting their OBJ
ject, secured the doors, ran up stairs, anG
fired upon the men as they approached the
house. They fed without persisting in thu
attack.
We understand that the people in Catta

of robbers and to give them warm recep

RECORDING OF SOLDIERS DISCHARGE
PAPERs.-There is no doubt that many just
claims on the government for military ser
vices have been lost for the reason that the
original claiments or their heirs were not
able to furnish the proper papers, on account
of mutilation or loss. The last Legislature
of Pennsylvania made provisions to prevent
future loss on this account, by requiring the
Recorders of the several countiessto place on
record the discharges of soldiers, so that in
case of their being lost or destroyed, the
proofs will still remain on the county-Tecords.
The following is the &C. as passed.
An Act to authorize the Recorders of Deeds
in the several Counties of this Common
wealth to record the discharges of all hon
orably discharged officers and soldiers.
SECTION /. BE it enacted, de-, That the
Recorders of Deeds in the several counties
of this Commonwealth are hereby authorized
and required to record all final discharges of
commissioned and non commissioned officers
and privates, upon application being made to
them by the holders of the same, and that
the recording of the same shall not be sub
ject to the payment of the State tax.
There are many claims of the soldiers who
saved the government from destruction by
the treason OF the Democratic leaders, which
future Congresses and State Legislatures
must provide for, and therefore the law
authorizing the recording of all discharge pa
pers is of the highest Importance. No sol
dier should delay, for day, his duty on this
subject. Telegraph.

eyOUT IN THE CoLD.-The Supreme
Court of the United States has unanimously
decided that an injunction against the Pres
ident of the United States, to restrain him
from executing law of Congress, cannot
hold, and in the case of Mississippi has
been denied. The court in its decision says ::
"The impropriety Of such interference
will be clearly seen upon consideration OF
its probable consequences. Suppose the
bill filed and the injunction prayed for be
allowed. If the President refuse obedience
1t is needless to observe that the court is
without power to enforce its process. Il,
on the other hand, the President complies
with the order Of the court, and refuses to
execute the act Of Congress, is it not clear
that collision may occur between the exc
cutive and legislative departments of the
Government May not the House OF Repre-
sentatives impeach the President for such
refusal and in that case could this court
interpose in behalf of the President, thus
endangered by compliance with its mandate,
and restrain, by injunction, the Senate of
the United States from sitting as court of
impeachment Would not the strange
spectacle be offered to the public wonder of
an attempt by this court to arrest proceed
ings in that corrt2 ..
"These questions answer themselves. 1t
is true that state may file an original bill
in this court, and it may be true in some
cases such bill may be filed. against the
United States, but we are fully satisfied that
this court has no jurisdiction of q bill to en-
join the President in the performance of his
official duties, and that no such bill ought
TO be received by US. 1t has been suggest
ed that tho bill contains prayer that if the
relief sought cannot be had against Andrew
Johnson as President, it may be granted
against Andrew johnson as citizen of Ten
nessee, but it is plain that tho relief against
the execution of an act of Congress by An
drew johnson is relief against its execution
by the President"

THE SUPREME CoURT-THIRTY OUTLAWS
HUNG-pEBT OF ST. LoUIs--THE PACIFIC
RAILWAY, &c.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE Supreme Court
to-day gave decision in the case of Drab-
man vs.. Steffel, appealed from the Circuit
Court, affirming the decision of the lower
court. The suit was originally brought for
the possession of property seized by Colonel
S,effel for military purposes, while he COM
manded the regiment of Home Guards, in
1861, and of which he has since retained
possession, based upon the ordinance pass
ed by the old State Convention, which
rupudiated civil or criminal action against
any person for acts performed by virtue OF
military authority. ...
The Kansas City Journal says that thirty
outlaws have been hanged by the Vigilance
Committees in johnson and Pettus counties
during the winter and spring. ...
