WHEELING WEST VA, TUESDAY MORNING. MAY H. 1869.

An officer who left Fort Harker,
Kansas, ten days ago reports great un-
easiness among the Cheyennes, Arapa-
hoes, Kiowas and some of the Conan
che bands. These tribes were the OBJ
jective points of General Sheridan's
campaign into the Indian country last
winter. The losses which they sus-
| tanned in warriors and stock seemed to
make an impression at the time, and
every reason was presented to lead to
belief that the tribes would be willing
| in the future to remain quietly upon
their reservations. The approach of
summer, however, seems TO arouse
afresh their warlike spirit, and again
the plains and frontier settlements are
threatened with summer of devasta-
ton and bloodshed. The chiefs of the
tribes declare that their goods are with
held from them and the promises OF
| the government have not been fulfilled.
Most OF these Indians are in the Vlclu-
| ity of Medicine Bluff creek. and re-
ceived their annuities there in February
last. Those that have not come In have
| no right to expect anything. The COM
plants are considered nothing more
than the forerunners of another out
break as socn as the grass is sufficiently
advanced and the ponies have recuper-
ated in strength and flesh.

The President, 1t is ascrtained from
an authoritative source, has determined
to appoint his friend ]. Russell Jones,
of Illinois, Minister to Belgium. This
will take up the gay and festive San
ford where the Senate left him and dis
pose of him effectually. The Prest.
dent does not feel under any personal
obligations to Sanford, while Jones Is
his warm personal friend, and he in
tends to stand by him. 1t will be re-
membered that Jones was reported to
the Senate tavorably by the Committee
on Foreign Relations. His nomination
was laid on the table because, after San
ford had failed of confirmation for
Spain, there was no vacancy at Bel
gium, Sandford having been transfer
red from Belgium to Spain, instead OF
removed. The President, however, pro-
poses to solve the difficulty by remov-
ing Sanford outright and appointing
his friend Jones.

Recognition of the ReorEnnIzed Gov
ernment by Chtcf Justice Chase.
R1CuNHnNn Nav 10

Recognition OIL the NeOTRhHlEeu NOS-
ernment by chief Justice Chase.
RICHMOND, May 10.
Chief Justice Chase this forenoon de.
livered an opinion on an appeal from
Judge Underwood's decision in the
District Court declaring null = sentence
OF Judge Shafey, of the State Court,
on the ground of Shaffey's inelligibili.
tv under the 14th amendment. The
case was that of Cesar Griffin, negro
who was sentenced to the penltentinry
for shooting a man. The Chief Justice
read the opinion of the Court, holding
that as the State Government In Nlr-
ginia had been recognized all during
the war by Congress. first at Wheeling
and then at ALEXANDRIA,, and the ac-
ton OF the Government in dividing the
State had been recognized by the Fed
eral Government and Senators and
Representatives elected by that govern
inent had been allowed seats in Con-
Rress, and AS 1t was under this govern
ment that Shatfey had been appointed,
he was therefore legal Judge as far as
the State Government was concerned.
The question now came up whether
being ineligible he was absolutely re-
moved by the operation OF the 14th
amendment. The U. 8. District Judge
had decided that he was, but in the ex-
animation of questions OF this sort
great attention is properly paid TO the
argument of Inconvenience and CON
struction which must necessarily occa-
sion great public and private mischief,
must never be preferred to a con-
struction which will occasion neither
in so great a degree unless the term OF
the instrument absolutely requires
such preference. The opinion here
shows the anarchy which would be pro-
duced in State by declaring the past
legal proceedings void. 1t then con-
siders the character and intent of the
third section of the fourteenth
amendment, which are declared to
be punitive. 1t is clearly against
which deny to the legislative au-
thority power to deprive any person
of life, liberty or property. without due
process of law or pass erpOSt TGcto laws;
and these if there were no other
grounds are reasons for seeking another
Interpretation of the amendment than
that asked by the previous counsel.
The 14th Amendment is not sell en-.
forcing and needs further legislation OF
Congress to enforce it. Two months az
ter the judgment now being raised, was
delivered, Congress passed a joint reso-
luton providing for the removal OF all
ineligible officers. Persons then
factO officers. 1t also provided the
means for their removal by the
military, The court said the Supreme
Court had unanimously concurred in
the opinion that a prisoner sentenced
by Judge defacto, though not Judge
dejure, could not be reached by ha6edS
corpus. The decision,of the district court
was reversed, and Caesar Griffin was
remanded to the State authorities In
the U. S. Circuit Court, this A. NJ.
j. Phillips, to be hung next Friday
upon a writ of hdJeGS corpus, was re-
manded to the State authorities on the
ground that he was sentenced before
