A case Of considerable Importance has
just been decided in the Third Judicial
Circuit, by. Judge John T. Green, in
which the recent act of the Legislature
of this tate, "to provide summary
mode for purchasers Of landsat tax sales
being put into possession" is declared
unconstitutinnaland vol /. The circum
stances of the case are as follows Ger.
tain lauds of Mrs. Kate Mcmillan and
others were sold for taxes in June, 1872
uuder the act of 1866, and were purcEas
ed by Louis Jacobs. The frs, owners
of the rr"pcrty, through thoir attorney,
S. w, Maurice, ESQ, made application
to Judge Green for a prohibition to
restrain the sheriff from proceeding un
dec the act. A temporary injunction wes
granted, which, after argument, was
made perpetual and absolute by form
al decision
The argument of Mr.. Maurice was
very exhaustive and complete His
main points were as follows: That the
act of 1872, under which the sale was
made, is "bill for raising revenue" and
originated in the Senate instead of the
House of Representatives, as required by
the Constitution of the State.-That
the act is unconstitutional, because it
relates to more than one subject. and
that the subjects are not expressed in
the title. That the effect of the act of
1873, as well as that Of 1872, is to de
prive tue citizen of his property without
the Judgment of his peers or the law of
the laud. That the act of 1879 under:
takes, upon its face, to amend a re-
pealed statute. That the Same act,
upon its face, authorized only tho sale of
forfeited lands, whereas the land was
sold as delinquent land, and nencc th
sale was void for auth >rity. The point
was also made That tax deed, if for
deiinqueht I-nds, must be sealed with
the private seal of the officer --ho exc.
cutes it. If for forfeited lands, the
title to which is in the Government.
then it must be in the form, and possess.
ed of the characteristics, ofa grant un
der the great seal of the State, sigued by
the Governor aud countersignod by the
Secretary of State.
Other grounds were taken in tho ar.
gument of the counsel, says the Charles.
ton Nc'os d; Courier, to which we are
indebted for this intelligent statement
Of the matter, but the court, without
entering upon the consideration of these,
granted the injunction, upon the broad
principle laid down in the State Consti.
tuition, (article l Z, section 14,) tina. no

In the Canadian Parliament yester-
day there was an excitement worthy
of Spain. Mr.. Mckenzie, a leader OF
the opposition, moved a resolution
condemnlng the removal Of their Cred
1t Mobllier investigation from the Par
~liamentary to the Royal Committee as
a violation of the rights Of the House.
The Speaker endeavored to call him to
order. He was supported by loud
cries Of privilege" aud "go on "
FROM the opposition benches. McKen-
zie proceeded to speak to the motion
when the Usher Of the Black Rod ap-
peared. He continued speaking amid
the utmost confusion. during which
the Usher Of the Black Rod delivered
his message aud retired. The Speaker
then left the chair, and with the sup
porters OF the Government lett for the
Senate Chamber to hear the Governors
speech amidst the groans and Misses OF
the occupants Of the opposition bench
es, who remained In their seats. Great
excitement Is said to prevail regard
ing these proceedings, and last cscn-
Ing the opposition members were to
hold a meeting. They evidently fear
a whltewashiug report from the Royal
Commission, and d~eprecate the re-
moval Of the inquiry from their ccn-
troll. This, perhaps, is but natural.
At this distance the change appears
most uncalled for.

cal guessing. In an article referring
to the Presidents Eastern trip. 1t says
hi, visit to Maine was at the instance
of Speaker Blaine, and adds: ut IL
said that he means to have Blaine for
United States Senator and Senator
Morrill, for the vacant seat on the
Bench Of the Supreme Court. The
further plan Is for Conkllng to take
Blaine's Presidential stock and to de-
cline.the Chief Justiceship. Mr.. jus
tice Swain. Of the Supreme Court, Is to
be made Chief Justice, aud then Mr..
Morrill, /, to be Associate Justice. II
this plot is successful. Mr.. Morrill, will
resign ON the assembling of Congres:
In December. Dlngley, whose cleo
ton Is assumed, will appoint Blaine,
and then the Legislature, which as.
sembles In January, and Is not elected
with reference to the Senatorship, Is
to be manipulated to confirm Blains's
appointment. Blaine, 1t Is said, has
absolute confidence OF success.

the following points are made:
!. The transportation Of freights, or

3. Whenever the subjects, In regard
