NEW York, Feb. 16.-In the Su-
premc Court Chambers yesterday,
| the case of George Oxley, captain
of the steamer Washington. Irving,
came up. On the application for
his discharge on a writ ofha6eas cor
pus, the petitioners counsel contend
ed that the requisition of Governor
Pi i,rpont was invalid, on the ground
that no such State as Virginia was
in the Uhien recognized by the Fed
eral Government or Senate, foras-
much as Governor Plerpont had
been appointed Governor by the
President, he had no right to make
such appointment That the Gov
ernor Of New York had no legal au-
thority to expatriate a citizen ON a
reouisition from Governor Pierpont,
and that we had no treaty with Vir-
ginia for that purpose lie signl'
fed his intention Of controvertlng
the return of the writ.
Hearing of the case set down for
this morning. Oxley was arrested
on requisition of Gov. Pierpont,
charged with running off vessel
under attachment for debt. The pro
ceedings in the case are looked for
with intense interest, as bringing the
fatal question squarely before the
Supreme Court.
