WASHINGTON March 26.-Trum-
bull, IN his remarks in the Senate, on
the veto, said | do not attach the
importance to this bill as some Others
do. In my view, it does not take
from the Supreme Court the jurisdic-
tion of any case now before it, 1t
simply repeats so much Of an act Of
February 9th, 1867, as allows appeals
from the Circuit Court to the SUI
preme Court, in hGbeoS corpus cases
arising under said act; aud in my judg-
ment. there is no case under the act
of 1867 now before that Court under
the act Of 1859, allowing the United
States Courts to issue writs of hdbedS
corpus. No appeal by the Supreme
Court address Of the term has been
decided that the act gave authority
to issue witten cases of persons de-
prived Of their liberty. Under United
States authority, the act Of 1867
was passed to provide for cases not
before provided for; to relieve per-
sons deprived Of their liberty, under
color Of State laws in iheTebel States,
and Of such acts as the Apprentice
Law Of Maryland, whereby cOlOred
citizens were virtually slaves 1t was
In these cases that the act of 1867 al
lowed appeals to the Supreme Co urt,
and not 10 cases which arose under
the act Of 1867, which was the MeCar-
dies case
