Important Decision


A very singular decision Of the Su-
prema Court has just been pronounced,
Mr.. Swayne delivering the opinion.
1t shows considering the present com
position Of that tYibunaD that there is
a screw loose somewhere. 1t is to the
effect that the plea of authority con-
ierred by the C0niederates States for
the Indictment and arrest of parties
was no defense in an action for dam
ages resulting from such proceedings.
This decision was in the case of TIick-
man vs. Belts and Others, who, as
officers Of the Court and Grand Jurors,
had Indicted and arrested the defen-
d3nt for treason against the Confede-
rate States. The cause came from the
Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
triet OF Alabama, where the acts cofn-
planned Of were done during the war.
The Court below held that the author
ity OF the Confederate States was a
Justification. This Court reversed the
Judgment and remanded the cause.

A flOysl and Original Proposition

An article in the Lexington (Ry.)
Gazette, in reference to the XVIII
mendment, has attracted some at
teRti0n and caused not q little com
ment on the part Of members OF the
Legislature. The article in question
proposes a plan for defeating the XVth
Amendment, and getting rid of the
negro vote, that is at once striking and
original. The amendment declares
that " the rigPt of citizens Of the Uni
ted States, or by any State, on account
of race, color or previous condition Of
servitude;" and the Gazette proposes
that, such being the case, the Ken
lucky Legislature shall enact law
providing that "no person shall be
electOr in this Commonwealth who
has wool or kinky hair on his scalp, +"
and that any person who shave or
otherwise removes the wool or hair
from his head, so as TO deceive the
judges of election, shall be Indicted
and punished, as provided by law, for
fraudulent voting.

An old resident of the Sacramento
Valley, says the San Francisco Bulle-
tin, claims 20 have discovered q fine
vein of bituminOus coal thirty feet in
thickness. and free from sulphur, at a
point twenty-eight miles above Chico,
and only seven miles from the Cali
fOrnia and Oregon Railroad line. The
locality Is near the base Of the coast
range OF mountains. This discovery,
if the vein should develop rs well as
it promises, is most opp0Ttune for the
railroad and the Sacramento Valley
generally. 1t viii be q means Of saw
Ing Timber that is now consumed for
fuel, and Will help TO diversity indus,
try there. Within the last six months
We are told that land in the great Sac
raInentO Valley has increased in price,
especially between : Marysville and
Shasti. Agents of the Steam Gaviga-
JiOn Company say that much greater
quantity of grain and other agricultu-
raj products have been brought down
this season by the cOmpany'5 boats
and barges, which run between Sac
TamentO and Marysville and the up
per Sacramento country, than ever
before in the history of the State. \
large portion Of the wool raised in
California IS produced in that valley,
between AIarysville and Red Bluff.
Within few years after the compile
tion of the railroad TO Oregon, the
Sacramento Valley will probably tre-
BILE Its agricultural products. The
southern counties have been making
rapid progress the last two years, and
now the northern counties are follow
ing IN the same path of progress and
| prosperity.
