In a suit originating IN the U. S.
Circuit Court, Chief Justice Chase
decides as follows:
The Government Of Virginia, or
ganized at Wheeling, has been re-
cOgnized by the United States as
I the rightful Government OF that
State. After all organized resist
ancc to the National authority had
ceased in Virginia, that Gov
ernment was established in un-
! disputed exercise OF its au-
thority at Richmond. That Gov
eminent was thus established DUR
ing the year 1865. When the insur-
gent Government Of Virginia was
dispersed by the superior force Of
the United States, the civil au,
thOritics did not necessarily cease
at once to exist. They con-
tiuued in being de facto, charged
with the duty Of maintaining order
until superseded by the regulal
government. Thus the Common
Council of Harrisburg, though
elected under the insurgent gov
ernment, remained charged will
the government OF the town, not
withstauding the temporary occu
patton of the place by the United
States forces. 1t might have beer
|, superseded for the government o
the United States. 1t was no
bound TO recognize any authority
which originated with the .rebe
government, but It was not super
=. seeded by the Mayor aud Common
, Council therefore exercising thei
authority, derived from election
|, aud not by virtue of a military or,
der, have 10 right to remove n sui
from a State TO a Federal Court
when that suit has been brought fol
an alleged false Imprisonment, and
malicious prosecution, charged t
have been committed by them il
the discharge Of their municipal du.
ties. The case rcmandcd TO tho
State Courts.
