Chief Justice Chase dissented from
the decision of the majority of the SUI
preme court on its jurisdiction in the
ku-klux cases from South Carolina.
1t appears that the judges in the lower
court certified to a division en- a motion
TO quasb an Indictment. 1t was this
question that the court decided they
had no jurisdiction of. A Washing.
ton dispatch says: "The result created
disappointment to those who wanted tc
see the question of the oonstitutionality
of the ku>klux law decided at this term
while on the other hand there was q
very general rejoicing among the sup
porters of the administration at the
failure to have the act tested in this
court"

The WORTH OF A GREAT News,
PAPER.-It is a hard matter to COM
pute the real worth of a long. establish
ed, well-conducted newspaper. The
Missouri Democrat was sold the other
day, at public auction, to Geo. w.
Fishback for s456, 100, so. The pro.
prietors Mckee, Houser and Fish
back were unable to agree, a receiver
was appointed and the snlc effected.
Mr.. Fishbacll owned one-third of the
concern, and was offered by his part
ners 100000 for it. The material
property of the Democrat is perhaps
worth 100000. The rest is the
good will"
