The Suprem Court Of n United
states Decides an Ancient Case.
We copy the following from the AbiHg-
don FirgiHiGn, as some Of the heirs alluded
to reside in Nashville;
For many years-in truth, since about
IS40-Our people have been interested in
the suit in the United States Court, known
as the Vint and Allen case. This was a
suit affecting the title 10 One-fOurtE Of the
estate of VIM. King, including One-fOurth
Of the King Salt Works. John Vint, who
was Of English birth, but q naturalized cit
izen Of this country, claimed by purchase
the interest Of Samuel King and Hannah
Allen, each One-eighth, in the King estate.
in 1872 a decree was pronounced by Judge
Brockenbrough, at Wythville, deciding that
Vint was not entitled TO the Samuel King
interest, but was entitled to that Of Han
nah Allen.
Subsequent proceedings being necessary,
which were delayed by the late war, an ap-
peal was not taken until two years ago, and
the case was argued in the Supreme Court
Of the United States in July last, by Sena-
tor Johnston and Judge Meredith for those
claiming under Hannah Allen, and ex-Gov.
Wells aud l.. II. Chandler for the Vint
hers. One week ago the case was decided,
Chief Justice Waite delivering the opinion
Of the court. By this decision the deed
from Allen to Vint was declared fraudulent
and void, and ordered to be Cancelled.
The appeal involved the ownership Of
One-eighth Of Kings Salt-wOrks, worth
about $4,000, and $4,000 in cash in the
hands of ). +. Hurt, receiver in the cause
A contrary decision would have placed the
Sl3O,O00 in the hands Ofcitizens Of England.
As it is, mana Of our citizens have been

At the meeting last night at the Federal
Courtroom, Prof. I. IL. Hamilton read an
able and instructive essay or Progress,
Mankind had ever looked forward to a bet
ter moral and intellectual condition.
Under every complication Of circumstances,
man had never found his situation hope
less, but had cherished a confidence in the
future which could only have found its in
spiratiOn in his own nature. The esSayist
found evidence of progress in the spread OF
a general knowledge of a practical and
certain character, and the disappearance OF
great individual emineDoe. The system
Of public schools and the wonderful ad-
vanCes made in all the branches of natural
science had been effective agents in the
work. The exact and reliable character of
modern philOsOphic research were contrast
ed with the speculative, uncertain theories
Of the old systems. In snort, the essayist
believed that investigation Of natural laws
and phenomena was the chief means of
ensuTing and carrying on that progress
which characterized the world of modern
thought and action. The growth of the
democratic spirit among the old despotisms
Of the world; the widespread missionary
spirit carrying the ideas and knowledge OF
the more enlightened nations among the
more ignorant, were also powerful factors
Of modern progress.
