COURT OF THE U. S.
Decision Adverse TO the Drake
Amendment.


WASHINGTON, January 2O.-The Su.
preme Court to-day delivered an opinion
against what is known as the Drake
Amendment, which in effect prohibits the
reception by the Court OF Claims Of evi.
dence Of amnesty and pardon on the part
OF suitors, but allows the opposite party
to refer to such amnesty and pardon as
evidence OF disloyaliy. unless at the time
of receiving the amnesty and pardon the
recipient protested against the implication
OF previous disloyalty contained in the
official document. The Court adverted
to the proclamation Of Lincoln of 1903,
granting amnesty and pardon on condition
OF taking an oath, &C., with restoration of
property excepting in slaves. The Court
asserts the full power Of the President as to
granting pardon and amnesty. The &c.
ceptance of which can not, it says, be rem
dercd Of no effect by the legislation of
Congress. In this case the Court claims
rendered judgment for the claimant
and an appeal is taken to this Court,
and it is directed to dismiss the appeal,
if it be found the judgment must be
affirmed because Of the pardon granted 10
intestAte Of the claimant. This can be
done without allowing that the legisla.
ture may prescribe rules of decision of
the judicial department of the govern.
ment in cases pending before it. It is
said that Congress has inadvertently
passed the limit which separates legisla.
tive from judicial power, and It is
of vital importance that these DOW.
ers be kept separate. Congress has
already provided that the Supreme Court
shall have jurisdiction of the judgments of
the Court of Claims on appeals, and it can't
prescribe rule in conformity with which
the Court must deny TO itself the iuris.
diction thus conferred, because its decis-
ION, in accordance with the settled law.
must be adverse to the government and
favorable to the suitor. The motion TO
dismiss is denied, and the Judgment of
the Court Of Claims affirmed. The Chief
Justice delivered his opinion, to which
Justices Miller and Deadly dissent, on
the ground that there was no interest vest
ed in the former owner of the property
under the captured and abandoned pro
perty, act, when the property had been
sold and the proceeds paid into the
treasury under it. They concur as to the
constitutional question involved, raised by
the amendment in question.

JEFF. DAVIS A YANKEE.-A curious
fact has come To light concerning Mr.. Jef.
lcrson Davis. Evidence has been found
TO be in existence that, instead Of being
born in Kentucky, as has always been sup.
posed, and as he has always asserted, he
was really born in Massachusetts, and
therefore, instead Of being pure. .blooded
son Of Southern chivalry, he Is only a
Massachusetts Yankee. Lanman's Die.

er indefinitely as having been born in
Christian county, Kentucky, in 1903. Per.
sons who claim to be well informed say
that "Jeff." was born in old Stockbridge,
Mass, In 1903, and removed to Kentucky
with his father, when small child. HIS
father is said to have been wheelwright
by trade, and the house where he lived on
one side OF the road, and the shop where
ho worked ON the other side, are well re-
membered by living witnesses. After all,
