WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Supreme
Court to-day delivered an opinion in the
case of j. I. Austin, plaintiff in error,
VS.. the Board of Aldermen, in error to
the Supreme Judicial Court Of the Com
monwealth Of Massachusetts,. The cor.
poration had taxed number of shares
held BY Austin in various banks, and be
set mp the plea that the State act relative
to returns and taxation of shares 10
associations for baking under the laws
Of the United States, was repugnant to
the statute of the United States, passed
June 8, 1864. The Supreme Court
affirmed the validity Of the statute OF
Massachusetts,.
The President to-day signed the modi.
fed Tenure of-ofics bill, IS passed BY
Congress.
The Committee on Ways and Means
to-day passed resolution that they will
personally examine into all custom
house warehouses, revenue Offices, etc,
and everything pertaining to the revenue
laws, in order to enable them to frame q
tariff bill by the next session Of Con-
gress. They will probably extend their
visits from Boston to San Francisco,
commencing in New York in May.
The Committee on Banking and Cur
reucy had before it this morning the bill
in relation to the currency.
Mr.. Jones, Of Kentucky, moved to re-
port it back to the House with recon-
incubation that it pass, which was mega
lived.
The Committee then proceeded to con-
slider the proposed amendment TO it, but
had not completed its consideration when
it adjourned.
Chief Justice Chase to-day denied the
writ of error in the Twitchell case, on the
ground that the fifth and sixth amend
ments to the Constitution we're not re
strictions upon State Governments bu
only upon the Government Of the United
States.

n,.mona nin. under New York.

An intelligent man OF the best ad-
dress was before Recorder Pope, Of
Hoboken, recently, under arrest az a
susuicious character. He stepped of
the ferry-bost at about half-past four
o'clock yesterday morning, encased IN
rubber top boots and rubber overcost
and cap, was besmeared with mud, and
carried a wel-flled carpet-bag. Officer
Burke, who effected his arrest IS suspi-
cious character, took his carpet-bsg, and,
on examination, found old watches, silver
spoons, knives, jswslry, bottles Of liquor,
a considerable quantity Of old pennies,
some of an ancient date, ten-cent pieces,
silver pencil cases, finger rings, lone of
which is supposed to be q valuable dia-
mand ring, and various other articles.
On being asked by the Recorder as to
how be obtained all that property, be
said that about year or more ago he
read a paragraph in the New York
papers about a woman and boy who
had found considerable treasure in the
sewers Of that city. This thing haunted
his mind, and believing that shrewd
Yankee could better find property than
anybody esle, be determined on going
treasure seeking, and for that purpose
had provided himself with map showing
the sewers Of New York, with compass
with six-shooter to protect himself
from rats or whatever might impede his
progress, with candles, etc. DOMINIC his
waterproof apparel, he entered, Tuesday
morning, a sewer on Houston street,
near the East river, continued his ex-
plorations twenty-four hours, and came
out yesterday morning near the Hoboken
Ferry, with his earpet-bag well stored
with property. He took tbs boat for
Hoboken for the purpose of washing and
cleaning himselfin that city, preparatory
to seeing his friends in New York.
Everything indicating his story TO be
true, the prisoner was discharged from
custody. His name is John W. Creve.
He comes from Connecticut, OF course.
