UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the Supreme
Court to-day Chief Justice Chase dismissed
the McArdle case for want of jurisdiction.
In the case of the steamboat Belfast vs..
Boone, from the Supreme Court of Alabama.
the decision was reversed, with costs, and with
directions to dismiss the libel. The court in
this case claims federal iur sdiction in marine
and admiralty cases from the sea to the head
Of navigation in rivers.
In the case of b. F. Hall vs. Geo. Coppell, of
Iowa, the judgment of the Louisiana court
was reversed with costs. The court deci ded

Justice Chase delivered the opinion of the
court in the Texas bond case, holding that the
annexation Of Texas made it State OF the
Union, and that no act Of the citizens and gov
eminent alone has or could dissolve that
relation. He decided that the ordinance
of secession and all Legislative acts in
aid OF the rebellion were void; that the
I legislature was an illegal body; that the
United Stat es bonds in question were the pro-
perty of Texas at the time of secession, and
that the law of Texas which required their
transfer was illegal. Therefore, the State of
Texas has the right to recover the bonds and
perpetuate the injunction, and it is decreed
accordingly. The court holds that Congress
had no right to adopt measures Of reconstruc-
tion. Justice Grisr dissented as to the merits
and jurisdiction Of tho case, holding that
Texas was not, in fact State in the Union.
Justices Swayne and Miller dissented as to the
jurisdiction only.
