THE TEST CAsEs-THE VCKBURG EDIToR-THE
CONTRACTS BETWEEN sTATEs-sALE OF CAP
TURED PROPERTY.
WASHINGTON, January l0.-The proceedings
in the Supreme Court are attracting intense
interest. An impression prevails that the
bench will decide adversely to the constitution
atty Of the Reconstruction acts.
To-day Judge Black moved that day be ap-
pointed for hearing the case of e1 p.ute Nc
Cordle, but MIR. Stanbery objected to arguing
the case Oh behalf of the government, because
he had written an opinion sustaining the
other side. The matter was deferred until the
government could arrange 10 appear by some
other counsel.
Colonel McCordle is the Vicksburg editor
who was imprisoned By General Ord. A de-
cision is looked for at an early day, and the
impression is very general that the writ will be
granted, which would set aside the military
law.
A second case involves the constitutionaity
of the law by which Congress authorized the
sale of captured property, and directed the
proceeds to be paid into the Treasury, at the
same time providing that claimants might at
the end of two years bring suit for it's recovery
through the Court of Claims. The case comes
ND through the action Of the owner of lot OF
cotton, who brought suit directly against the
officer making the seizure. This latter pleads
the law as his defence.
What is known as the ''Virginia case" affects
the mode in which Congress can proceed in
ratifying contracts between States. 1t comes
from the State Court, on the motion of parties
representing Virginia, and claims that the ces-
sion of the counties Of Berkley and Jefferson
to West Virginia is not valid, although ratified
by Congress. West Virginia provided for re-
ceiving these counties upon the consent OF
Virginia being given. This consent was OBJ
tained, and Congress was asked to ratify the
contract. Before the action of that body was
contaminated, Virginia withdrew her consent.
But Congress paid no attention to this action,
and proceeded to ratify the agreement. Vir-
rinia now claims that such action was uncon-
stitutional and comes into the Supreme Court

IaE KaIusAL HISTORY OF CREATION.

DR.. J. f. Boynton last evening at the Cooper In
stitute commenced series OF lectures on "rne
Natural History OF Creation" The series Is to con-
sst OF six lectures and the one delivered last
ing was entitled "world.Making." owing to the
fact that the entire evening was devoted IN the dark
to the display OF Illuminated diagrams OF the earth
and the planetary system, no detailed account Of
the word description OF "world.maSing' could be
had The lecturer gave q minute history Of the
formation OF the globe and the various planets their
Influences on one another, their distances from one
another and the theories regarding their respective
movements and compositions The eilipticity of the
earth was dwelt upon at some length as well as the
manner OF determining the meridian altitude OF
stars In speaking OF the beginning OF creation the
lecturer declared that he would feel under obligation
to any one who could determine the exact period Of
that nlomentous event and that, whether the be-
ginning had been four thousand or four hundred
thousand years ago. the power OF the Creator was
manifest in everything that went TO make up the
globe and all that 1t contained.
The closing OF the doors at precisely eight r. M.,n
before the lectures begn especially during the pre-
valling bad weather, causes much dissatisfaction
among hundreds who cannot "c0fnc up TO tlmen
with the regularity OF one of the planets OF which the
learned doctor treats. Last evening hundreds were
shut out and nobody could be found about the lnst
tute with power sufficient TO open single doorway
TO the lecture room. The consequence was very
small audience rs will be the case 40 long as the
