A man named Hoffman, having
charge Of Fields ranch, forty miles
from Deadwood, was surprised by
masked robbers on the 5th, who drove
away all the stock on the ranch-eight
cattle and several valuable horses-
before his very eyes. Holman fol-
lowed them mne miles, begging for
his stock, and was finally told by the
robbers to leave or they would kill
him and he was obliged to do so.
Large bands of horse thieves and high
waymen proving about the different
towns have brought things to state
of terror all over the Hills There is
said to he one organized band of twen-
ty-seven, who rendezvous near Custer,
and have large amount of stock in
the mountains. Sheriff Manning sue
ceeded in capturing two of the band
yesterday and lodged them in Jail.
The military in this vicinity will take

CONFEDERATE SEQCESTRATIoN IS VOID
It has already been stated that the Supreme
Court OF the United States Monday decided
the case OF Williams ct al. Us. Brutfy, adj
ministrator; error to the Supreme Court OF
Appeals OF Virginia. This was an appeal
from Il decree affirming Il sequestration OF
debts due the plaintiffs by 4 Confederate
Court in Virginia. Upon application to
the Court OF Appeals Il SuperSededS was
denied, the Court being Of opinion that the
decree was clearly right, the Court holding
that it has jurisdiction TO review in such
condition OF the record. It is said
the Confederate enactment under which
the sequestraton was made being treated
as a law of the State in consequence OF
the authority given it therein, there is 10
doubt OF its inyalidity. The prohibition
forbidding 4 State to pass any law impair
ing the obligation OF contracts equally pro-
hibits a State from enforcing as law an
enactment of that character, from whatever
source originating, and the provision secur-
ing to the citizens OF each State the priyi-
leges and immunities OF citizens in several
States also applies to this law, treating the
plaintiffs as alien enemies. The position
that the enactment was that OF IN independ-
ent nation is denied, the Confederate Gov
eminent never having attained to such 4
character. Reversed. Mr.. Justice Field
delivered the opinion.

pany.-Appeal from the Circuit Court for
the Northern District OF Florida.-This is
the contest between the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Pensacola
Company, under the law OF the State grant
ing exclusive telegraph privileges to the
latter company. The Court held that the
business or telegraphing falls within the
provision Of the Constitution giving to Con-
gress the right to regulate commerce; that
the telegraph has become indispensable TO
the business OF the world, both as to private
persons and governments, and that it can
not be thus limited or restricted by. State
law. The law in question is an attempt to
regulate commerce on the part Of the State,
and rs such is clearly incompetent since the
action OF Congress on the subject. by the
act OF July n, 1866, with which it is i'll con-
fllct. Affirmed. The Chief Justice delivered
the opinion. Dissenting, Justices Field
