The War Department, in accord
ance with the advice of the Attorney
General, ordered the commander at
Fortress Monroe to obey the habeas
corpus for the production of the body
of Mr.. Davis in the United States Cir
cult Court at Richmond, on Monday
next.
A dispatch from Richmond says the
grand jury Of the United States Dis
trict court empannelled this morning,
has three colored menlrom Alexandria
among the number.
In the Supreme Court, this evening,
Attorney General Stansbury closed
the argument on the Georgia and Mis-
sissippi injunction case. He spoke as
to the general principles involved, and
denied, as heretofore, that these cases
had any place in court. They were
not within the jurisdiction of a court
of equity, such as the Constitution
provides. There was in them no ba-
sis of property on which relief could
be given. Georgia and Mississippi,
according to the bill filed, undertood
to speak for all the people
OF those States, when there was
no evidence of this fact. Be
sides, of the ten Southern States over
which reconstruction acts were to
operate, only two were here. 1T was
not known to the contrary that the re-
naming States were dissatisfied, for
they had not presented a bill of
grievances. The law gave a citizen
the right to vindicate himself, and
could do this as successfully as State
could for him The counsel on the

save their liberties from obstruction,
and to preserve the integrity of the
States on whose behalf they appeared,
but. said the Attorney General, no in
herent power for that purpose is in
this court, for Congress might so act
as to destroy the Court by impeaching
Judges on false accusation, or by
denying salaries requisite to their
support. 1t rested with the people,
however, to secure the honesty and
right doing Of legislation, and on this
basis one must look for preservation
of rights Of citizens and of guaran-
teed rights of States. No further pro-
ceedings took place on questions be-
fore the Court. The Court adjourned
Immediately on the conclusion of Stan
bury's argument.
WASHINGTON, May Col Tate, of

The case of the Commonwealth of
Virginia VS. West Virginia was up to-
day, and is still on argument This
case raises a question of the status of
Virginia as a State in the Union, as
West Virginia denies the right to her
to make any valid enact
ments. The immediate question is
jurisdiction over certain counties
claimed to have been transferred by
fraudulent representation. A decree
is asked reinstating these counties to
old Virginia. The arguments will
probably occupy two more days
Stanton, Allison and Reverdy John
son represent West Virginia Andrew
Hunter and BENZ. R. Curtis, of Bos-
ton. represent the Old Dominion.
