WASHINGTON.

one from Georgia and the other from |
Mississippi, suits on notes given for the |
sale Of slaves, are before the Supreme |
Court. The constitutions of these States |
contain provisions forbidding their
courts from taking any Jurisdiction of
such cases. These cases Were argued
by Mr.. 2. Phillips who maintained that
these provisions which took away all
remedy and effected the obligation Of a
contract were void under the prohibit
ton of the Constitution of the United
States which prohibits the States from
violating the obligation of contracts;
that even when warranty is given that
the slave sold was a slave for life, this
did not include the act of sovereign in
emancipating the slave; that no such
| warranty ever exists but when it is OK
pressly stipulated for; that the loss by
emancipation, like the loss by death,
| fire. flood or war, must fall alone on the
| owner of the, property, the maxim Of
the Common as we'll as the Civil law
| being res pert domino.
