which. according to tie Supreme Court
Of the United States in cases identical
With that of Bidwelis, il simply no title

holder, but bought his title of Dickey
after the United States bad become pos

April, 1859, in full view of those de-
cirions recently rendered. and Of his own
argument leading up to them. Black. the
Attorney General. had the appeal Of the
United States against Bid~-ii's claim
dismi-sed-thereby defeating the rights
Of the United Ststes which had been so
clearly recognized by the Court. and let
