Tho decision Of tho Supreme Court ill., tue case
Of portoot settles question Of pract5co which
has led to much confusion in this county, espn-
chilly in capital caseB. Perfect was convicted and
sentenced to bo hanged, after a trial in this
county. Tho case was taken to tho Supreme
Court on writ Of error, aud the Judgment below
was reversed aud tho caso ronlandod. His coun-
sci subsequently, moved, in the Criminal Court OF
this county, for ohapge Of vonno to. Will Coun-
ty, filing at tho time certified copy OF tito
opinion Of tho Suprenio Court upon tho writ OF
error. Tho Court granted tho Change Of venue
to WILL County, and ho was tllere tried, con
victed, aud sentenced again to be hanged. 4
writ Of orror was again sued out, aud royorsa1
Whs olnined upon tho ground among othen,,
that, ,whon tho cnso VAS carricd up to the Supreme
Court on tho first writ of error, tho Criminal
Court had exhausted it's jurisdiction; that to TO-
gain jurisdiction there should havo boon {.
foraasil 'enliNR,sr OF tho whole casa from the,
Supreme Court; that lilo 1lllug Of a certified
copy. OF tho opinion Of thesuprome Court WAS not
tho re'aittiur required by Inv and practice; that
nal Court lad mover rogalnod Jurisdiction of tho

tue same to viii County that, "a tho Will Cir
cuit lad no Jurisdiction sayo ,slat 1t received,
fby assignment from tho Criminal Court Of Cook
County, 1t noyor bud Jurisdiction Of tho caso,
and tint tho trial, conviction. and sentence OF

Cation Of error Judge McAlluter granted s,l,e,.-
setlcas pondng tile consideration OF tho writ Of
error In tho Supreme Court. Tho Importance Of
this point will bo understood wl1on 1t is known

THE NEXT SPEAKERBHIP.

There is good deal Of gossip going arouud
tho newspapers about tho next speakersAip OF
tho House OF Representatives. The nauca most
prominently mentioned as opponents OF Afr.
Blaino arc those OF Alr. Maynard, OF Tonnossoo,
and Mr. Wheeler, Of Now York. It is conceded
On Ill sides, however, that 1lr. B1aino's chances
for reelection arc very strong, and tlat tho
that he will Re required to mako beforehand, as
to what ho will do with tho gentlemen who were
implicated in the Orodit-Mobilior frauds. and who
have held the Craftsmanship Of several Of tho
moss Important commtteps in tho House.
"Whnt do you intend to do with Dawos Bcofio1d,
Garfield, and .Kolley7" is tho question Con.
Butler proposes to ask him in tie CAUCUS. II
Mr. Blaine determines to retain those gentlemen,
then, 1t is nsod, Con. Dutlor will oppoao his re-
election; II Mr.. Blaine decides to drop tLcm'
thon thoy, with their friends, will unite against
him aud the salary ry.grabbiug fratornity OH tho
other eido. This embarrassing condition Of
thiuga, it is hold, may dofcat hlr Blaine which,
over course lo may decide to take.

latfon. II Mr. Blano is o candidate for the
spoakerahip, it il rs party candidate. As aparty
man, bo cannot undertake tho punishment Of
men who are still in good standing With tho party.
In his poaition. tho party, like the King, can do
no wrong. 1t would bo high treason If he were
to assume tho province Of punisliug MoaHra.
Dawes, scohe'd, Garfield, aud Kclloy
by refusing to recognize their claims,
according to party precedence, to cor
tain positions In the House. Tho party has
not pronounced sentonce against thase goutlo-
mon, and 1t would be an arrogant assumption Of
authority, in party aonae, for Mr.. Blaine to do
wnat tho party has had the opportunity to do
and decided not to do. II bIesars. Dawos, Gar
field, scoGold, and Kelley had boen consured by
she House for thois Crodit-11obIior tranaactions
Mr. Blaine would haye had cue on which to
act. As 1t is. ho must make up lis committees
juat as he woull haro done IL there
had boen no Crelit-Mobilior exposures If
In doing this lie oirends Gen. Butler aud tho
salary grabbing faction, and they make var upon
him for dong 80, they are the dlsorganizlng elo-
mont, and not he. So long ~ Mr. Blaine stands
as the party candidate for tho spoakorship, Lo
must follow tho manifest behesta Of tho purity,
aud Ii Gen. Butter and others do not like it,
they must go to work to reform the party no.

tho supromo Court, and ita mtasion ia to inform
tho lovor tribunal Of tho action Of tho Supreme
Court. 1t is furthor held thnt tho allowance Of
writ Of error in caritn1 case does not divoat
tho lower court Of lis turiadiotion; II moroty
oporates ns a atay Of proceedings until tho de-
termination Of. Tho writ OF error. It ia conceded
thnt 1t s noooaBary to lilo remitit4r iu tho Cir
cult Court, but not for tho purpose of restoring
tho jurisdiction Of tho latter Court. In this case
of portoet, tho defendant, BY his Counsel tllod
cortiaod copy Of the opinton Of tho Supreme
Court. This waB not tho best ovldonco Of tho ao-
tlon Of tho Bupromo Court, but at tho aame limo 1t
ras aufilciont to inform tho Court Of everything
that tho rcnaiKit.r would II Il had been fllod.
Tho dofondnnt himHolf offered that evidence.
md thus callod into action tho powers Of tho
Criminal Court, which had been etayod or aus-
pondod BY tile supcrsctleas, Tho Court royiews
the question whothor tho prisoner could thua
waive tho production OF the technical ovidonco
Of tho action Of tho Supreme Court, and holds
that it Is tho established doctrine In this State
TINT ho could waivo any legal rightB, but that ho
couh not bo presumed to have wntvod any.
Tho waiver ml1Bt bo oxproBa1y elown; but there
can bo no presumption Of surrender or
waiver Of snything. In this caaa, tho
prisonor had himself Alad tho secondary
evidence, Ind moyod for change Of
venue, had anado no objection to the Jurisdiction
Of tho Will Circuit Court, and, after conviction,
could not now make objections which ho had
directly waived on trial.
In tho dissenting opinion Of Judge McAllistor,
conourred in by Judge scho1held, 1t iB claimed
TINT, when tho Criminal Court had tried md
aontoncod Perfect to be hangod Its power oyer
tho case was exhausted tho supersedeas acted
aa restraint, not upon that Court, but upon the
shorir, to stay the execution Of tito judgment Of
tho Criminal Court. Az no mundate Of process Of
rensiftitur ever Issued from tho Supreme Court,
nothing Ind takon place to rcinvost the Criminal
Court with jurisdiction Of tho cnBe. It Ia
olaimod that, to roinvost TINT Court with jnris-
dfction, MI oxpl9oss n1anlate to that effeot from
tho 5upromo Court WAS requisite. Filing copy
Of tho opinion seg tho Supreme Court is not
equivalent to aptrauscript a Of tho order Of tho
Court. Without TINT transcript, 1t Is claimed
tho Criminal Court never acquired jurisdiction,
and, having no jh,riadiction, all tho subsequent
proceedings were void.
Tho main question IL, Whather 4 formal
reyittilur il cBsontial to Jurisdiction Tho Court
holds that 1t is not tho dissenting Juagea TINT
itls. Tho non-professipnal public, as least, wil'
collcur in tle reasoning Of tho Court, that whoro
tho filing Of tho formal ,en1Ittitur would not
have informed tho Criminal Court Of anything
not alroady certified in the opinion Of the sn-
pronso Court. aud tho ycosittitu,' itee1f being a
moro formally, which the prisoner could waive,
tho prisoner waa placed in no different position,
nor deprived of any advantage or defence which
lie would hayo possessed Had that formality
be on complied with.
