ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
SATURDAY, MARCH Is, 1875.

The RETRoCEssIoN CAsE.-The case OF
Phillips VS.. Payne, the object of which was
to obtain decision from the Supreme Court
OF the United States, declaring uuconstll utloDal
the act of Congress of 1916, retrocedng Alex
andria county to Virginia, was yesterday ar
gued before that Court, and will, 90 Monday,
be finally submitted for its adjudication. When
the act was under consideration by Congress at
the time of its passage, doubts were expressed
by some as to the sonstitutionalty Of the meas
ure-ootably Mr.. Jefferson Davls-but after
mature consideration the judgment of that
body, founded upon the assumed legality of the
act dictated its passage, and the government
rel,nquished its sovereignty to that primarily
vested in the colony of Virginia. Ever since
that legislation restless spirits have exclaimed
against its constitutionality, aud by various
methods have endeavored to bring the act be-
fore the Supreme Tribunal, but they have
heretofore signally failed, and the present case
is the first that has survived the vicissitudes OF
litigation and become the real subject Of ju
dicial inquiry and fcal adjudication. 10 sus'
tain the position that the act of Congress Is
illegal,iit is, among other improbable things,
necessary to establish the doctrine that the seat
OF government is permanent and immovable,
and that Congress is poweress to abdicate the
sovereignty Of the government to those States
which were the original parties to the compact
of cession, under which the District of Colum-
bia was established. This view of the subject
is known to be antagonistical to the ideas OF
the great masses of the Western people, who
have repeatedly sgitated the subject Of the re.
mosal of the seat of government to more cen
tralized point with respect to the geographical
position of the country, aud such considerations
may have inspired the pertinent inquiries of
Justice Field, of California, yesterday, when
he desired to know if counsel thought the peo-
pie in adopting the Constitution Intended seat
of governn ent to be established, the locality
of which was to be permanent, and the mode
of Interrogation clearly showed that, in the
opinion of that learned Judge, the location of
the seat of government depended alone upon
the determination of Congress- and is yet an
open question. Unless the Supreme Court in
the decision of this case, shall avoid con-
structon Of the legality of the act of Congress,
aud render its judgment upon some extraneous
technically, or hold that the suit questions the
legality of acts of de facto government, and
therefore cannot be maintained, it will, as is
supposed by some, be compelled to settle not
only the status OF the city and county of Alex
andria, but the more important question of the
stability of the seat of government aud the
Capital of the United States.

NeLsON-BlRD DISCUSSION.
An Interesting Political Discussion.
Two Colored Men Lock Horns in Debate

\ colored man named Charles Nelson
OF Springfield, Illinois. and Judge
John j. Bird, had very interest
ing joint political discussion at the
court house last night. The house
was densely packed with white
and colored people.
The audience was called to order by
Dir. Thomas w. Halliday, and upon his
motion Mr.. John II. Obcrly acted as
president.
Mr.. Nelson opened in speech of forty
five minutes, in which he reviewed the
qualifications Of Mr.. Tilien tor the pres
idency, and Mr.. Hayes qualifications for
that high office. He then, in mastery
manner, contrasted the condition of the
southern states under Democratic and
Republican rule, and showed that the ne
groes were more secure in their rights
in Democratic than i'm Radical states
He was frequently applauded.
Mr.. Bird followed in speech OF an
hour anda half, in which he reviewed the
histories of the Democrotic and Republl-
can parties, and insisted that the colored
men Of the country would continue 10
vote with the Republican party while
they understood their best interests. He
made very close and able argument in
favor Of the Republican party, and was
loudly )plauded.
Mr.. Nelson closed in a splendid argu
ment. He made many fine points, and
succeeded in enchanting the attention of
his audience, and was heartily cheered.
At the close of the debate, which
occupied three hours and ten min
ates, the disputants were congratulated
by their friends.
The colered people of Cairo have rea-
son to be proud of these two colored
orators. They are both excellent takers
and handled their oratorical weapons very
skillfully. Nelson has the advantage of
Bird in voice, natural abilities as an ora
tor and the cause he advocates, but Bird
is superior in culture AMI the details of
political information.
Nelson will remain In the city until al
ter the barbecue In Thursday, and will be
pleased TO meet his colorcd friends at his
hotel, the st. Charles.
