seere,ary sherman Speaks.

Chicago, May 6.-The Inter Ocean's
Mansfield correspondent asked Secre-
tary Sherman about the story of his
becoming a candidate for governor Of
Ohio. Sherman said there is no truth
whatever in it. 81 want to correct the
wrong impressions that have gone
abroad, and which have been the work
of democrats and sensational news
papers. The idea of me accepting the
candidacy for governor of Ohio is alb
surd. If the state needed me, it would
be different, but there are plenty Of
good men in the republican party Of
Ohio, and have no doubt one of them
will be elected governor. / have no
aspirations in that direction. My duty
to President Hayes, the fact that re-
sumption is only about three months
old, and that the refunding certificates
require my attention till August 6rst,

That Constitution Again.

New York, May Ga San Francisco
correspondent writes: 1t is believed
that the new constitution will have
large majority in the state outside of
San Francisco, and that its opponents
must poll majority of from 10000 to
1000 in the city to beat it in the state,
hence the heat and thickest turmoil of
the fight is here in town.
The Times has an editorial on what
it calls 1.-THE California Experiment.
1t says: As this instrument is new
experiment in the science of popular
government, the result of the election
will be regarded with lively interest.
Should it become the fundamental law
Of the state, the working Of the new
constitution will become the study Of
all men who have paid the least atten-
tion to public affairs, for this is the
constitution in which it has been at
tempted to accomplish the many aims
of those agitators whom, for want Of a
better title, we are accustomed to call
Communists" The advocates of the
new constitution, besides the Kearney
crew, have been men who, like ex-
Senator Cole, ''Dave" Terry and Vol
ney E. Howard, have long since been
laid upon the shelf, and who think In
the new deal they might find new
political opportunities. The majority
of the newspapers in the state, without
regard to politics, are opposed to the
new constitution. They and speakers
on that side have conducted their can
vass with zeal and ability. The article
concludes by saying that the adoption
of such scheme of fundamental law
would be most calamitous to the mate
rial prosperity of California. While it
has been under discussion species Of
panic has prevailed throughout the
state; institutions for savings have
warned their customers Of impending
disaster, and productive enterprises are
paralyzed for a time. 1t is hoped
and believed that this fantastic expert
ment in state-craft will be defeated by
the good sense of the people.

Washington, May 6.-The house con-
tinued the consideration of Robeson's
substitute to Knott's bill to prevent
military interference at elections, which
Robson claimed further protected
the freedom of elections. His substi-
tute was defeated by a vote of 90 yeas
to 121 nays.
The republicans filibustered on
Knott's bill to prevent the interference
of troops at elections. All but Chitten-
den, Kelley, Killinger and Morton de-
clined voting while there were not
enough democrats present to constitute
quorum.
The reason for hlibustering was the
refusal to allow Conger to offer an
amendment.
A second call was ordered. At 2
O'Clock filibustering closed, and vote
was taken on the bill, which was
passed by vote of 124 yeas to 80 nays.
1t was a strict party vote, all the green
hackers voting in the affirmative with
the democrats. Adjourned.

Important Mining Claim Decision.

Washington, May SIN the su-
preme court to-day the following deci-
sion was announced: Flagstaff silver
Mining Co., of Utah, plaintiff, in error,
Us. Helen Tarbet. In error to the su-
preme court of Utah. The controversy
in this case relates to recapture of the
rights of two mining companies in Lit
tie Cottonwood district, Utah, who are
working subterraneously upon the
same lode, or vein of ore. The princi-
pal question involved is whether the
Flagstaff Co., has right to carry its
excavations under ground, outside of
perpendicular drawn side lines of its
surface location, when by so doing it
infringes upon the rights OF the adjoin-
ing claimant.
With regard to the whole important
question of following the lodes or veins
Of ore, below the surface, and the res
pective rights of the contending parties
in such cases, the court holds as
follows. First, the location of o min
ing claim upon lode or vein of ore,
should be laid along the same, length
wise Of its course, at or near tbs sur
face, both under the miningfact of '66
and that of '72; second, each location is
entitled to follow the dip or lode or
vein to an indefinite depth even
though it carries him outside of the
side lines of their location, but this
right is based on the hypothesis, that the
side substantially corresponds with the
course of the lode or vein at the sur
face, and that it is bounded at each
end by end lines of the location cross
ing the lode or vein and extended per-
pendicularly downwards and indefinite
ly in their own direction; third, If the
location be laid crosswlse of the lode or
vein SO that its greatest length crosses
the same instead of following the
course thereof, it will secure only SO
much of the vein as it actually crosses
at the surface and the side lines of the
location will become the end lines
thereof for the purpose of defining the
rights of the owners; fourth, locator
for working subterraneously into dip
Of vein belonging to another locator
who is in possession of his location, is
atrespasser, and liable to action for
taking one therefrom. In accordance
with these principles this court holds
that the Flagstaff Co., is outside of its
rightful boundaries and it thefore af-
nrms the judgment Of the lower court
In favor Of Helen Tarbet. Justice
Bradley delivered the opinion.

Washington, May 6.--The resolution
authorizing the taking of testimony in
relation to the claim of Spafford to the

Hoar offered substitute declaring
that the senate had already settled the
case on its merits, by declaring that
Kellogg was entitled to the seat.
Cameron, of Wisconsin, argued that
the question was decided in October,
1877, in favor of Kellogg and against
Spafford, and that the senate at that
time declared the proceedings final.
Salisbury said he would not express
an opinion as to whether the present
question was justly adjudicated, but
the committee simply wanted author
ity to investigate the whole question.

motion was lost by party vote.

Important Decisions by the Supreme
Court in Railway and Mining
Cases---New Bills in
Congress.
Railroad Case Decided.

Washington, May 6.-The supreme
court decision No. 972, Central Pacific
railroad Co., ct al. appellants, VS.. Albo
Bert. Gallatin, an appeal from the cir
cult court of the United States for the
district of California; and No. 1,0S3,
Union Pacific railroad Co. appellants,
VS.. the United States, an appeal from
the court of claims. These two cases,
which were argued together, involve
the constitutionality of the so-called
Thurman act of May 7th, '78. The
object of that act was to secure the
interest of the United States in the
Union and Central Pacific railroad
companies, by providing that twenty
FIVE per cent. of the annual net earn
ings of those roads, including the whole
of the compensation due them for SER
vices rendered to the government
should be paid to the treasurer of the
United States, to be by him applied
partly in payment Of accrued interest
upon bonds issued by the government
to the two roads, and partly to the es-
tablishment of sinking fund in the
United States treasury for the final
payment of the companies bonded in
debtedness.
The decree in the first named case
and the judgment in the second are
affirmed by this court with costs. The
decision was announced by the chief
justice. No written opinion was rem
dered, but one will be filed in due time.
Justice Field dissented from the opin-
ion of the court and was Joined therein
by Justices Bradford and Strong.
