A DECISION OF MARKED IMPOR-
TAECE.

New York Tribune, April 1.
The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court yesterday in the case
Of Cruikshank, Irwin and EHadnOt
was one IF marked Importance.
The case came up from the Circuit
Court for the District Of Louisiana, on
q certificate of division. The IniIct-
ment was for conspiracy under the
sixth section Of the Enforcement act
Of May, 1870. The main question IN
yolved was whether persons found
guilty Of cOnspirIng to pre-
vent duly qualified citizens
from voting at any election IN the
State, including Federal elections, and
also guilty of cOnspiring to prevent
citizens from exercising any Of the
rights granted them by the COnsiitu-
ton Of the United States, are guilty Of
a crime against the United States. The
court decided that the Indictment
could not be sustained by the act Of
1870. nor under the Fourteenth Amend
ment The State Of Louisiana, 1t was
held. has passed no law abTidglng any
Of tbe riyhts Of citizens, and there
is. therefore. no breach of the COns.i'
tuition or Of its amendments 10y the
State to whom the people Of
the United States directed the COM
mands Of the Fourteenth amendment.
1t was remarked further IN the opinion
Of the Court that ''the object Of the
amendment was to restrain the States,
not the inhabitants Of the States, as as
sumed by toe Government. The con-
sequence Of a conclusion being adopted
rs a law, that the provisions Of the
Consultation are addressed to each and
every inhabitant, would be the entire
subyersal Of the institutions Of the
States. and the immediate cOnsohda-
tiun 0f the whole and into a cOnsoh-
dIted empire, whose authority and
processes could wholly disregard the
limits and laws Of the States"

ton of this claim has been taken from the

and usurpatiOn Of war powers. The gov

the scalp. The number Of killed and
wounded, as near as can be ascertained, IS
eighty killed and five slightly wounded
and fifty-twO unhurt. The Supreme Gov
eminent intends sending two regiments

preparation available upon the passage OF

INTERESTING DECISION TO CITIES
The Richmond ''Whig" has the following
opinion of the Virginia Court of Appeals.
which will be interesting to the Staunton
Main ST., property owners:
Among the opinions delivered by the
Court of Appeals yesterday, was one in
case Of the City of Norfolk against Ellis.
Under an ordinance of thecity, which pro-
vided that when any unpaved street was
to be graded, curbed and paved, three
fourths of the cost should be assessed by
the front foot upon the lands OF lots lying
thereon, Ellis was assessed $97411. This
being collected from him as tax, he
brought suit in the Corporation court and
recovered that amount from the city of
Norfolk, from which judgement the cor
poration took an appeal. The Court Of
Appeals reversed the judgement of the
court below, Judges Anderson and Boiling
dissenting, and held that the ordinance
was a valid exercise of the power of tax
alton delegated to the city by the Legisla-
ture, and the power in this case oflocal as
sessment for local Improvement was not
limited by any constitutional restrictions.
Judge Anderson held that the assessment
should have been made by the dd calorena
system.
