Judge Brndley's Decision.

The following is from the Washington
Chronicle, of the thirteenth instant:
Among the most unprecedented, the
most important-cases pending in the
United States Supreme Court during it's
present session, are the appeals from the
United States Circuit Court Of Wisconsin
as to the power of State Legislatures to
regulate railroad tariffs, and the case Of
the Grant parish prisoners, appealed from
the United States Circuit Court of New
Orleans. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Bradley held that the Grant parish
prisoners were merely guilty Of the crime
of murder. which he held the late amend
ments of the constitution did not confer
upon Congress the power to punish. This
decision does not seem to have been war
ranted BY the facts and the law in the case.
The enforcement acts of Congress certainly
provided for the punishment of the crime
of murder, as well as those lesser outrages
which are SO common throughout the
Southern States, particularly If committed
with the view of intimidating voters, or for
general political effect.
Now, it was notorious that the rebels OF
New Orleans-indeed, throughout the
South-held that the Grant parish muir
STYLED them whenever speaking of Them
The outrages grew out of political contro.
yersv, and were committed by the rebel
Democratic cut throats of Louisiana for the
sole purpose of putting down the Repub-
lican majority in that State and securing
rebel Democratic ascendency. The crimes
were not ordinary murders, such as are
punishable under State laws, as was er-
roneously held by Judge Bradley; but they
are clearly crimes against the State as well
as against persons, and most clearly are
punishable under the enforcement acts OF
Congress, and such in all probability will
be the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court. In any case it is absolutely
certain that, if the laws of Congress did not
provide for the punishment of such crimes,
the defect will be right speedily remedied
early next session.

The Mississippi River to be Tunneled At
Grand Tower.

Grand Tower.
From the Murphysboro Independent of
last Saturday we learn that there Is com.
pany about being formed with the view of
tunneling, or we might say tubing. the river
at Grand Tower. The plan, as far as we
are able to Judge, SCENE practicable, and
when carried out will unite the Illinois Cen
trail with the Iron Mountain railroad, and
bring the coal fields of Big Muddy in close
contact with the iron beds Of Missouri. The
plan is this: An iron tube is to be first
sunk in the river. of oval shape, say twenty
feet at it's largest Dimensions. inside of
which another iron tube, three feet smaller
each way. is to be laid on Orders inge.
niously constructed with view to strength
and durability. The tube or tunnel will
have only about half its diamter below the
bottom Of tho river, as the water is very
deep ut this point. and it is the intention of
the company. if they can get an appropri-
atien from Congress, to utilize the heat
which is now being wasted BY tho Big
Muddy furnaces-and which are located
Just where the tunnel will enter the bluff
on the Illinois side-by leading pipe from
the hot air chamber directly into tho space
between the outer and the inner tubes Of
the tunnel, thereby getting up sufficient
heat to raise the temperature Of water in
the river, while passing over it, above the
freezing point, and thus preventing any OBJ
structi0n of the river by ice between that
point and Cairo. This Of itself ought to
Justify the outlay, aside from its use as
rail connection.
