THE SUPREME COURT,

WAsI1INGToN, ID. c., May 2.-The
impression that the Supreme Court
Judges have adjourned to go upon their
circuits is not correct, as, by new law,
they are required to do this only once
in two years. The court, at its last ses-
sion, has done a great deal of work and
rendered some important decisions, for
instance: First-That the State can
not tax freight as it goes through the
State or passes thorugh more than one
State. SecOnd-That q State can tax
tho gross proceeds of railroad compa-
les. Third--in the New Orleans slaugh-
ter-house cases, that q State has right
to make monopoly of the common
trade oflife. Fourth-That the former
decision in the case cxparte Garland
and Cummings vs. Missouri, reported
in 4th Wallace, are reaffirmed in test
oath cases from West Virginia. Fifth
THAT in case of insurance, suicide
under insanity does not vitiate the pol
icy. SiNth--In case of NIyra Bradwcll, ,
that the rights Of women to practice
professions are controlled by the States.
And Scventh--In tho case of the Loui-
siana Bank, that q payment of . debt
made under tho duress of military
commander is on answer to the demand
OF creditor. ~ case involving incl
dental1y the issue of railroad bonds by
municipality went off on another
point; but the court adhere to their
former doctrine, that where such bonds,
by town, go into the hands Of bona
.F0e holders, they can be enforced.

PLAIN WORDS on THE SITUATION.

Every good citizen of tho State will
readily give assent to the following
from the Democrat, published at Amite
City:
We arc glad to know that most OF
our colored people give tho cowardly
thieves, who arc trying to excite them
to cnmity with the white people, the
cold shoulder. The New Orleans Re
publican urges them to organize, arm,
quit the farms, and all that, and KEEL
logg's dirty satellites sing the same
song, but most OF them have better sense
than to take such advice. When they
get into trouble, MI. Scallawag and Mr..
Carpctbaggcr are always somewhere
else. Our people feel kindly towards
the negroes. They wish them we'll.
They want to be friendly with them,
and will be if the colored men will per-
nit them TO be. Tho trtlo interest of
the colored people is to. unite with the
white citizens, and assist them in driv-
ing the unprincipled wrctches who are
enemies to both races away from the
State.

NEW ORLEANS ITEMS.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-The large
meeting held this afternoon at Clay
statute, Canal street, was addressed by
General Campbell and others. The
object of the meeting was to endorse
the action OF the people Of st. Martins
vile.
Another batch of fifty Metropolitans,
it is stated, leave this evening to rein
force st. Martinsville.
The evening papers report that Kel-
logg offers $3.50 in State warrants as
bounty for NIetropolitans to go to the
country. Tho commander of the Me-
tropolitans at st. Martinsville appeals
to Kellogg for Il mounted force to assist
them.
There is no Metropolitans on the
beats tonight, those in the city being
concentrated about the stations. It is
understood those who refuse to take
arme are allowed to quit. Several
have left the force, declaring they
would not take up arms against the
people of the State.
Mudge's gun store was broken into
by mob tonight and almost its en-
tire contents carried Off, no policemen
being present to protect the property.
1t is undertood an arrangement has
been made between tho Federal Off
Gals and Kellogg, by which, under the
plea of enforcing the civil rights pro-
cesses against Col. DeBlanc and other
leading tax resisters, the United States
troops go tomorrow to the relief of the
Metropolitans at st. NIartinsvil1e.
DeB1anc reports to Gov. McEnery
that no holds the Metropolitans in
check. No general engagement had
taken place at last accounts.

Tho 8ost Summer Resort Both For
Health and Recreation.

That the Castor Springs will be the
Saratoga of Louisiana the coming sea-
son, we have no doubt. Every body
who can do so, male and female, will
grace these beautiful Springs by their
presence, and grace and pleasure them
selves thereby, and, if invalids, will
improve themselves by SO doing.
These Springs have for years had a
considerable celebrity. Their value
and efficacy for rheumatism and chronic
diseases generally have been long
known. Invalids have resorted to them
before they presented any accomoda-
tons, and derived benefit from them,
though subjected to rough camp liv-
ing, and the desire has been general for
years past throughout the surrounding
country that these springs should get
into the possession of parties through
whom their benefits could be made to
inure the public.
That desire has, we are glad to say,
been gratified. Thos. J. Hough, Esq,
who posses both the will and tho means
to make the Springs desirable place
for resort, has become proprietor of
them. He last year, though he ac-
quired them late in tho season, built
ana furnished a comm diOus building,
sufficient to entertain a'goodly number
OF guests quite commercially. But he
did not have time to furnish it with all
the requisites Of a first class ssw'atcring
place"
But we have just received a pamphlet
published by Mr.. Hough, commencing
the Springs to tho patronage of the
public during the ensuing season. BY
it we see that Mr.. Hough has made
additions and improvements to those
OF last year. InY:Clida of both sexes
can now be accommodated with all the
appliances ofhomc comforts. Families
wishing to be retired can be furnished
with apartments private and isolated.
Those seeking relaxation and umusc-
ment merely, will find bowling alleys,
billiard tables, etc, ready Mt their
hands.
The host is Il bountiful providcr, and
keeps his lardcr we'll supplied with all
tho luxuricS and Clclicacics rs we'll as
neccssaries to be found at first class
hotels. The road from Columbia to
the Springs has boon wei! briuged and
repaired, SO that the access to the Springs
by carriages is easy and safe.
Tho rates Of faro at tho Springs are
moderate, being 81 q day, SIC week,
or $40 y month for grown persons. \
visit to them cannot but prove agreeable,
and we arc assured by DIR. Guice that
their waters possess fine medical virtue

speedily and surely answering the Sig
nal. The soldiers seem to have fought,
what few that did fight, with obstinacy
and courage, but the greater number
left their officers TO the mercy of the
savages.
There Is something not very agreea
BILE to American pride in this unhappy
affair. Tho willy, cunning foe was we'll
known. He is fighting desperate
war, and, Of course, he should be cease
lessly watched. The troops were TT
lni1iar with Modoc treachery and cruel
ty. They were educated already in
their duties and their dangers. But
here are three companies with their
Indian allies, professedly on the scout
to look up the enemy and surprise him,
who are themselves surprised, demon
allied and compelled to abandon the
field to much inferior force and enc
my, leaving their dead to be stripped
and mutiIated and the wounded to be
inhumanly butchered, with others
missing whose fate doubtless has been
ten times worse than if they had been
killed on tho field. Does it not appear
that our boasted military training has
in this test with the savage failed most
signally to vindicate its superiority: It
cannot be said that Indian warfare is
a new thing. 1t is an old business. 1t
ought to be understood by our officers.
Something is wrong with the army,
If this be a test OF it's efficiency, and if
we shall watch the drift Of foreign crit
icism we will doubtless find that this
affair will be considered test. Per-
haps the fault lies in these two consid-
erations: Recruits for the army are
selected with too little care, and the
soldiers have been used too much on
police duty. Tho tendency of political
intrigues has been to employ the army
for purposes which even the commonest
private could but feel was foreign to
his noble profession. And thus while
he has been disciplined to march and
shoot, he has also had lessons we'll cal
culated to make him bolieve that the
service is not what it ought to be in n
| republic.

WHAT'S the MATTER WITH THE ARMY

The statements given to the public
from tho Lava Beds relative to the late
fight there with the Modocs, show
pretty clearly that tho troops were
badly used up. Thrcc companies left
camp, accompanied by some friendly
Indians, to reconnoitre Capt Jacks
position. 1t was Reconnaissance in forcc,
and as such, aud on that kind Of duty,
there was something wholly unlike
war in the officer in command bcinr
surprised. Even a scouting PARTY OF a
platoon should have been vigilant md
have been itself the surprising party.
The officer commanding, it is stated,
moved his men four miles toward the
Modocs, and just when he should have
had his eyes open and his command
carefully in hand, covered BY scouts. no
called halt and ordered a rest. At
this juncture, this unguardcd moment
the Modes, numbering about twenty
five, suddenly began firing on the
soldiers. Dispositions were made by
deploying skirnishers, but the right
flank OF the troops became Mt once en-
trapped, and the Modocs then followed
with a murderous cross-fire, and soon
neither a soldiers head nor hand could
be shown, without Nodoe bullet

their duties, assisted nobly by citizens,

their duties, assisted nobly by citizens,
white and black, who were on the
ground, there being, however, more
idlers and lookers-on than there should
have been. There was 4 scarcity of
water in one Of the city cisterns, and
the suction Of the engine was injured at
the start, 80 that the engine was not
brought prominently into play at the
most critical moment.
Capt. Hale, with detail Of soldiers,
promptly came to the protection of
the property saved, and did effectual
service in preserving order, for which
he is cordially thanked.
Although the loss foots up u large
sum, yet for some time, owing to the
flying GOALS reaching points squares
distant, it seemed that the fire was in a
fair way to consume a much larger
number Of houses, mainly residences
The residences of Messrs. Filhiol, Ray,
Nelson, Milling and Ennemoser escaped
very narrowly, most of them having
been on fire several times. The wind
blew strong breeze, carrying. the
flames toward the north east and cast.
Incidents Of daring and personal de-
Votion were plentiful, and we arc Ger
tain OF being right in assuring all those
who came to the relief Of their friends
that their invaluable services are sim
cerely appreciated.

Disastrous Fire in Monroe!
Total Loss $175, 900; Insurance Se5, 800.

We had not completed our account
Of the Trenton conflagration, whero
three hundred thousand dollars Of
values were destroyed, when the Fire
King proclaimed his advent in Monroe
through busy tongues OF flesh and brass.
The ashes and dead Goals OF tho great
fire Of December, 1871, when over six
hundred thousand dollars Of property
were swept away, were still to be seen
along the march Of the. demon, and
some OF the sufferers we're as yet etrug-
Cling to regain their lost places OF bust
ness. At about quarter past one
O'Clock, Friday morning, fire was dis
covered in the Club Room Saloon on
DeSiard street. The first warning
seems clearly enough to have been an
explosion, which awakened some Of
the sleeping inmates OF the Bernhardt
building in which tho saloon was kept.
What this explosion was we have sought
to ascertain. We arc led to believe it
must have been lamp, although the
colored man who closed the saloon as
serta positively he left no light what
ever in tho house when he closed up,
only an hour before tho alarm was
given. The saloon was locked in front
and roar AS wo learn from Messrs. Bern
hardt, Byers, Meyer, Fcibleman and
others who SAW the burning inside,
but could not enter. Tho building
being wooden one, tho flames spread
rapidly, and soon tho whole house was
burning. Above, below and across the
street tho fire quickly found it's way,
and tho result we have to chronicle is
tho burning OF all the buildings from
Kings store TO the old residence of
Mayor Hunsickcr on tho upper side of
DeSiarl and all from Endom's stable
to Filhiops corner, being about twelve
in number. Tho losses and sufferers
will be best recognized by tho follow
