Part.
rrnou OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

COLUMBIA, October "a.
The tracas of Friday has had its continue
tons. Elliott stands his ground, but Kava-
nagh keeps active. Saturday evening, while
Chief Constable Hubbard was at the Columbia
Hotel, Kavanagh assailed him with abusive
language, charging him with being an instiga-
tor of Elliott In the affair Of Friday-the horse
whipping at the executive chambers
finally assaulted him with blows. This Hub
bard stood as long as patience was virtue,
and proceeded to quiet his excited assailant
by arresting him and putting him in the guard
house. Sunday morning he was released at
the usual hour. Threats against Elliott con-
tinue to be loud and sanguinary, but the valo-
rous assistant acknowledgement does not appear
to be in any immediate danger. The Grand
Army of the Republic has not acted upon the
case yet.
Kavanagh has been a sutler at this post as
we'll as secretary for Governor Scott for some
months; is said to be an Irlshman but that
gallant race have never before witnessed one
of their own blood whipped in public by ne
gro without resenting the indignity in suitable
style. However, the affair is not yet over.

lathe Supreme Conrt Chief Justice Chase read
an Elaborate opinion In the Yerger case, to the
eject that the Supreme Court Of the United States
has jurisdiction under the constitution and the
Judiciary act Of 's7, and that the act OF 's7, re-
peale By the act Of '6s does not act to take away
the jurisdiction Of this court in this case. The
writ of haoeds corpus was referee to as among
our most valuable rights, and was guarded by the
constitution The merits Of the Yerger case were
not involved In the opinion, the court merely as
suming Jurisdiction. Yerger's counsel will have
o conference tomorrow with the Attorney Gene
ral, when the further proceedings under jurisdie-
tion win be arranged. The granting Of the writ is
stin pending. a
Mr.. Justice Miller dissented from the opinion OF
the court. BIZ.
The following Is an extract from Chief Justice
Cnase's opinion: 1--WE are obliged to hold, there
fore, that in all cases where Circuit Court OF the
United States has, in the exercise Of its original
jurisdiction, caused prisoner to be brought be-
fore it. and has after inquiring into the cause OF
detention, rernanded him to the custody nom
which he was taken, this court, In the exercise cl
its appellate Jurisdiction may, by awrit Of haoeas
corpus, aided BY the writ of ceTtiordrS reverse
the decision OF the Circuit Court, and II It lie
found urwarrantef by law, relieve the prisoner
from the unlawful restraint to which he has been
remsnded." 'f'c
Tne conclusion y as follows: "The argument
having been confined to the question OF jurisdic-
ton, this opinion is directed TO that question.
The jurisdiction Of the court to issue the writ Is
afnrmed." sar
The case OF Noses waring ys. the Mayor Of No

port, and complains that the city, under authoif-
ty OF the State law, seeks to impose upon him .
tax upon sales in connict with the clause In the
United States Constitution prohibiting State
from laying sny duties upon imports and exports
The Supreme Court held that under tbc ci-cum-
stances Of the case, the plaintiff was not the Ic-
porter OF the salt, but the mere purchaser from
the importer, and the fact that he sold ia un-
broken packages did net exempt him from State
taxation. He had not partaken Of the risks Of
