WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Missis-
sIppi injunction case was brought before
the supreme court to-day, Robt. j..
Walker. Argument for the petitioners de-
nying that congress was empowered to
pass an act beyond the range OF judicial
inquiry, aad oontendlng that the con-
stitution provided for such cases could be
brought before the court.
Replying TO Stanberry's remarks OF
last Friday, Walker maintained that
political questions had not been excluded
from court, and In support OF this ques-
ton he referred among other and more
recent cases to the military commission
and test-oath questions, upon both OF
which the supreme court had pronounced
an opinion. Walker quoted various de
cisions in r~efutation OF the attorney
generals views, that this court has
no jurisdiction in cases not involving
money and lands and in conclusion,
speaking of the desperate sweeping out
Of ten states from the union by the re
construction act, was directly contrary
to the constitution. lie said a hooder
attained in penalties never had been
passed. 1t reduced 10000, 600 of loyal
and disloyal people to bondage, and
substituted a cleaning sword and
bristling bayonet for constitutional
guards and courts of law.
It being near 3 o'clock when Mr..
Walker finished, the court adjourned
until Monday, when stsnberry's reply
will be heard.
The japanese commissioners were pre-
scented 70 the President to day. The
particular object Of their mission will be
communicated at an early day. They

A GROSS ACT OF INJUSTICE ATONED
FOR


A GROSS ACT OF INJUSTICE ATONED
FOR.
Not long since, it was published in the
papers generally, that EDWIN R. Nc
CURE, Internal Revenue Collector 81
the First District in Arkansas, after
having for some time RENTED moneys
to New Orleans, and depositing them
there to his own account, had disap-
peared, embezzling a large sum OF
money.
We had known Mr.. MCGUIRE long
and well, and felt very sure that he was
libelled by this report and such turns
out to have been the case. We take the
following from the Cincinnati Gazette,
In which it appears as a special dispatch
from Washington, dated April 9th:
The Internal revenue colleetorship of
the first Arkansas district is in a curious
condition. 1t appears that some weeks
ago a report reached the treasury depart
ment that Mcclure, the collsctor, had
suddenly disappeared. Examination Of
his accounts showed that he was largely
indebted to government, and the de-
partment at once began inquiries to
ascertain his whereabouts. Not readily
finding him, it was assumed that he had
absconded with the funds in his possess
sion, and officers were put on the
track, with orders to arrest him wber-
ever found. They learned at Memphis
that he had gone to New Orleans, and
thither they followed. Meantime, the
executive sessN4Af the Senate was draw
ing toward its close, and the department
telegraphed to parties in Helena, asking
Recommendations for q new collector.
These were made, aud another collector
was nominated and confirmed. About
the time this was done, officers arrested
Mcclure In New Orleans. Examination
was made, and 1t turned out that he was
neither q rascal nor runaway. IL seems
ne had taken q considerable amount of
New Orleans drafts In payment for
taxes. which he was not able
10 turn into currency in Ar
kansas. Arriving in Memphis, he could
not dispose of them to such advantage
as he hoped. and, having some private
business in New Orleans, he concluded
to 90 there and take along his govern
msnt funds. This he did, and the day
before he was arrested he had deposited
several thousand dollars to the credit of
government with the ~sub-treasury in
that city. After these facts were known,
he came on to Washington, and f0und
that he was not only looked upon as 3
defaulter, but had been turned out of Of
fee. The department is much mortified
at its blunder, has made apologies, and
is now trying to find q way for reinststing
Mcclure.
We car add to this, that we yesterday
saw and read a letter from the Treasurer
Of the United States to MI. Mcguire,
completely generating him from ali
imputstions Of malfeasance, and con-
GLIDING with the assurance that it is the
intention Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to reinstate him in the Office Of Col
%leetor, or appoint him to some other
equally responsible position. We CEN
graduate our old friend on the complete
vindication Of his character for iDteg-
rity, which bad 9 before been
doubted.

Horrible Indian Barbarity in SEWER
Valley.
From the Salt Lake Union Vidette, April 9l
The horrid Indian massacre which oc-
Cured at Glenwood, in SEWER valley,
about two weeks since, a report of which
has keen published, was attended with
such atrocity that we cannot refrain
from publishing the particulars, in order
that Commissioner Bogy, Senator Doc
little, and all of that ilk may chew it as
a cud while they are advocating the mis-
sion of mercy to the poor Indian. A
family consisting OF q father and his two
daughters, of the respective ages of
fifteen and eighteen, were attacked by q
band Of Indians under the command Of
Black Hawk, who have committed
many depredations in that neighbor-
hood. The old man had his brains
beaten out by a club; the fate Of the
daughters was most revolving: their
bodies were first violated by these saw
ages, when they were put to death with
extreme torture by the thrusting Of
rough kAotted pine sticks into their
bowels, causing a most horrible death.
