The Texas Indemnity Bonds-Judicial Re-
Wow Of State Federation and Secession.

Tho Texas Indemnity Bonds-Judicial Re-
Wow Of State Federation and Secession.
In the United States Supreme Court yester-
day Chief Justice Chase delivered an elaborate
judgment in the case Of the Texas Indemnity
bonds, in which that State sued several defend
ants to restrain them by injunction from re-
ceiving from the United States the payment of
certain bonds and to compel the surrender
Of these bonds to the State as State property.
In his treatment of this racy, original suit,
which revived the old question of State rights,
the Chief Justice took his stand on the consti-
tuition, pronouncing the logical and perspicu-
GUS decision which appears in full in our
columns to-day. Chief Justice Chase set out
with definition of the status of State of the
Union, and explained the difference existing
between it's governmental rights and duties as
such and those of territorial form of govern
ment. He then sketched the history of Texas
to the date of her admission to the Union in
1S45, setting forth the responsibilities which
her inhabitants undertook towards the federal
government and performed until the moment
when they threw off their allegiance and went
into rebellion and entrusted the management of
their affairs to the control of a military
board, the members of which were sworn to
secrecy. An ordinance of secession from the
Union was then approved but the court held
that the State had no right to secede, that
this ordinance was null and that Texas was
still in the Union. These bonds were issued
in aid and support of the rebellion and nego-
tiated in England, thus enabling the State 70
maintain It's hostile attitude towards the parent
government. The court then referred to the
social, political, governmental and judicial
changes which were found to have taken place
in Texas at the termination of the war-the
abolition of slavery, the appointment of
Union Governor, with military power, and the
action Of the President and Congress for her
restoration to the Union, winding up with the
legal decision that the present suit was prose-
cuted by the State under competent authority
and jurisdiction, and that the bonds in ques-
tion were completely her property in 1862.
From this highly important judgment associ-
ate Justices Grier, Swayne and Miller dis
sented-the first on the ground that Texas
was not at the time State of the Union, and
the two last named on the question of present
jurisdiction in the case.

cation. Congress, by two-thirds vote, passed
the Reconstruction law, by virtue of which
Mississippi may be restored to the Union, and
McCardle sued to recover damages for injury
endured by him through the action of our
officers, setting up very important point Of
base for future litigation on similar grounds.
The court delivered judgment to the effect
that by law Of Congress passed during
the administration of President johnson
taking away their authority in such cases the
judges have no jurisdiction in the matter. So
It appears as If Mr.. McCardle must recommend
the citizens of Mississippi to adopt the fifteenth
amendment at once and return to the fold.
