GEORGIA AND VIRGINIA
The~ Washington correspondent Of
the CincinnaI Commercial, writing on
the 8th inst, gives the following as
the possible solution of the Georgia
andsVirgin;a troubles: The subject
of the admiss o. of Geor gia and Nir-
ginia viii be considered tomorrow,
by the Senate judiciary Committee,
which holds a special sess on for that
purpose. The Committee will doubt
less favor the immediate admission Of
Virginia, and a report in the case OF
Georgia viii probably be delayed,
unless the State ratifies the amend
ment, and pursues the course marked
out by the President, and indicated in
MOrtOn's bill regarding the XVIII
Amendment. The delegation from
the Virginia Legislature, sent here for
the purpose of urging the immediate
admission of the State, had an inter-
view, by appointment, with Gen. But
Ter, the Chairman of the Reconstruc-
tiOn Committee, at 5 o'clock to-day.
He informed them that the Commit
tee would report unanimously in favor
of the admission of the State, and that
they viii doubtless agree on a bill to
that effect at their meeting tomorrow.
He predicted that the bill will pass
the House within an hour after it Is
presented, thus disnissing the subject
of Virginia. he stated it to be his
opinion that the State will be fully
represented in Congress within the
next few days. Referring to Georgia,
he said that the Republican party has
been cheated in that State, as well as
in Tennessee, and that in the latter
the negroes are worse off now than
they were ten years ago. He also
stated that the final solution of the
Georgia case will be postponed until
after the holidays"
THE DISABILITY BILL.
The Washington correspondent Of
I the Cincinnati Commercial says OF the
/ Disability Bill now awaiting the
| Presidents signature: Much of the
I opposition to the bill was chargeable
/ to Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, on ae-
count of his father-in-law, ex-senator
| FoOte, of Tennessee. The name of
the latter was in the bin as it passed
/ the Senate, but the House struck it
/ off, and passed the bill, after a long
debate, without Foote'S name. When
/ it came to the Senate, Stewart opposed
/ it, and 1t went over until the present
session, to the great injury and incOn-
veGia2ca Of many deserving men,"
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SUPREME
COURT.
The Washington correspondent OF
/ the Baltimore Gazette says the most
prominent feature OF the opening day
in the Senate was the introduction OF
bills looking to the virtual abolish
/ ment of the Supreme and other Fed
eraI Courts of the country. Mr.. Sum-
ner's bill provides for the repeal Of the
| appellate jurisdiction Of the Supreme
| Court of the United States in cases OF
i proceedings commenced by the writ
OF habeas corpus, to take effect upon
its passage. Mr.. brakes bill provides
that no court created by act Of Con-
gress, or Judge thereof, shall have
power IN any case to adjud8e or hold
any act or joint resolution Of Con
/ gUess invalid, in whole Or in part, foi
any supposed Tepugnaney between
such act or joint resolution and the
Constitution of the United States, OF
for any supposed want of authority
in said Constitution for the same; nOl
shall the appellate jurisdiction OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
be construed to authorize that Court in
any case now pending or here's tte. TO.
brought before it, to affirm any order
Judgment or dearee OF any inferior
United States Court, or Oh any State
Court, which shall appear to have
been based upon any such adjudging
or holding; but every such order
Judgment or decree shall, for thai
cause, be reversed, vacated and an
nulled; nor shall any Justice of sail
Supreme Court. in furtheranee of tbs
! exercise OF such appellate jurisdiction
make any order, or authorize or cause
any writ or process, or take any pro
ceeding based upon any such adiqdg
ing or holding by him, or by the saiC
Supreme Court. Both bills were
printed, and BLr. Drake will addres
the Senate on Monday next in tavoI
of his bill.
