Court Chief Justice Chase decides as follows:
The government of Virginia organized at Wheeling
has been recognized by the United States as the right
full government of the State after all organized resist
ance to national authority had ceasedi in Virginia that
the government was established by undisputed exer-
else of its authority at Richmond that the govern
ment thus established, when the insurgents of Vir-
ginia were dispersed by the superior force OF the
United States the civil authority did not necessarily
cease at once to exist, being de facto charged
with the duty of maintaining order until superseded
by the regular government. The Common Council of
Harrsonburg though elected under the nsurgent gov
ernment, remained charged with the government OF
the town Notwithstanding the temporary occupation OF
the place by the United States forces. 1t might
have been Superseded, for the United States Govern
ment was not bound to recognize any authority which
originated with the rebel Government, but it is not
superseded The Mayor of the Common Council, there
fore exercising the authority derived from election,
and not by virtue of military order has not the right
to remove suit from State to Federal court when
that suit has been brought for alleged false impris
onment and malicious prosecution, their own when
charged to have been committed by them in the dis
charge of their municipal duties The case remanded
to the State Courts.
