that, inasmuch as such liquors are recog-
nized as property by the Federal laws,
no State dan deprive its citizens OF the
right to hold and deal in it in the man

Immunity in future. A case involving
the constitutlonality Of the Enforcement
Act, from South Carolina, also argued last
winter, by Reverdy Johnson, against the
oonstitutiopaiity Of the Act, was also on
the docket for decision; bat the pardon
of the party by tho President, on ac-

quite anxious that the case should pe

decision sustaining his position, RELYING
somewhat upon its sanction by the then
Chief Justice. A.number of ouses we're
also ordered for re-argument, mostly
tax and railroad cases, resisting the eI-
actions of the revenue department.. The
docket is very full, and under the new

not lire through the day. B. T. Bruton,
ex-senator for the District, is very low.
Some families are preparing to leave.

at work instituting sanitary measures,
but no quarantine measures have been
taken.
