U. S. SatBrep,e Court.


WASHINGTON, April 13.-Supreme court No.
Sc. Moore and Davis VS.. Robins. Error to the
supreme court Of Illinois. The principal in
terest in this case is that Senator and Judge
Davis is one of the plaintiffs in error. In 1855
Moore and Mitchell purchased public
lands at the sale at Springfield, for which GER
tifcates of purchase were issued, and subse-
quently patent was issued to Moore. Mitch
els land was sold under judgment,
the purchaser afterwards selling forty
acres &C to Judge Davis. Robbins claim
ed under pre-emption by one Bum
and sued to foreclose mortgage on the prem
lses, alleging that Moore had by mistake got a
patent for a number of acres of The pre-empted
land, and that Davis has no valid title The
judgment was that Moore and Davis have no
rights which were not subject to Robbins
mortgage, and it is here asserted the court
erred in its rulings upon the evidence and in
the conclusion arrived at.
No. 260. Meister. VS.. Moore ct al. Error to
circuit court for the western district of Penn
sylvania. and 261 Meister VS.. Russell ct al.
These actions of ejectment to recover
certain lands in and adjoining Pittsburgh. The
questions involved turned on the fact and
validity of William Mawry's marriage
with an Indian girl with whom he lived and
cohablted, and leaving at his death daughter
by her. Ii the marriage was valid, their
daughter, who conveyed that land to Meister,
had valid title, and Meister could recover. but
the court excluded all evidence of the fact
that Mowry and the Indian woman were reput-
ed to be man and wife in the community in
which they lived together as such, ruling that
under the laws of Michigan, where the alleged
marriage took place, it requires the presence of
a magistrate or clergyman to render it valid,
and it was shown there was no such presence.
There was no marriage and the fact Of cohab-
itation could not be permitted to affect the
case This decision is the error assigned here

McGarrnnan naain.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-The Senate commit
tee on public lands to-day resumed the investi-
cation which has grown out of the memorial
of VIM. McGarrahan, praying the enactment of
laws to correct the record Of his alleged patent
for the New Idria quicksilver mines in Colo
RADIO. Up to recess the only witnesses were
government officers identifying books and
verifying documents. While Mr.. Hopper,
librarian of the attorney generals Office, was
on the stand, Judge d. S. Wilson asked the
committee whether it would be competent to
show that Mr.. Shaw, of the opposing counsel,
when inquiring at the department of Justice
for all documents in this case had made offers
OF money to Hopper to exhibit some which had
not been shown him. Shaw Immediately de-
manded that this insinuation she proven or re-
tracted at once. The chairman Of the commit
tee said Shaw need not take notice of the in
situation and declined to allow the matter to
proceed further. When the committee rose
Hopper assured Shaw he would be very happy
to have an opportunity to testify, as the in
situation was utterly unfounded.
After recess Judge d. S. Wilson offered to
Introduce the evidence given by ] Judge Jeremiah
S. Black before the House judiciary commit
tee in reply to some charges that have been
made against him during this investigation.
Senator Mcdonald remarked that these charges
did not cut any figure in this case, SO far as he
could see, for there no evidence that Black
had any employment from the New Idria
company until long after he, Black, ceased to
be attorney general, and there was nothing
that required an explanation from Judge
Black. His taking fee subsequent to the
expiration OF his term as attorney general,
was not discreditable. The Senator added that
he would have dore so himself.
Mr.. Shaw hoped the evidence would be adj
mitted. It would be shown to the committee
that Black had taken a fee from the New Idria
company while acting attorney general in this
case and while thus employed he had welded
the power of the attorney generals office cor
ruptly and oppressively.
Mr.. Burdett also insisted that Blacks evil
dence should be allowed to go into the record
but for a different reason, namely in order
that the committee might see how thoroughly
this evidence had overthrown the infamous
ISLANDERS against an eminent and upright man.
The evidence was admitted.
Mr.. Ingersoll had previously taken occasion
to disclaim participation in the issue raised by
his associate SHAW against the integrity Of
Judge Black.

Mexican government has promptly paid, as
