The supreme court on Saturday last rem.
dered decision regarding the validity OF
the act of the last legislature for the settle
ment of the state railroad bonds, and have
decided that the act creating the tribunal
was an unconstitutional delegation of pow
err The court also decides that the act of
1860 which provides that all legislative
provisions for the settlement of the bonds
shall be submitted to a vote of the people.
is unconstitutional and void, on the ground
that that amendment impairs the obliga-
tiun of the contract embraced in the bonds.
The court holds that the same rules are us
applicable to the contracts of states as of
individuals, us the supreme court of the
United States has uniformly decided that
the eXecutory contracts of states have the
same protection granted them Ey the con-
sti,uion as has the contracts of individu
ais. 1t is further held that while the pow.
er to enforce individual contracts is vested
in the courts the legislature is invested
with power to enforce contracts of the
state. The effect of this decision will
bring the payment OF these repudiated
bonds directly before the Legislature, they
will have to make provisions for the dis
charge of these obligations, and will in all
probability be compelled, anu rightly, topay
dollar for dollar of this Indebtedness, as no
disgraceful compromise should ever for a
moment have been entertained. That

O. III. Browning.

Orville H. Browning, whose death is re-
corded this morning, will be principally re-
membered by the general public through his
connection with the federal administration as
secretary of the interior, under President John
son, from 1866 to 1868, and as attorney gen.
eral in 1868 and 1869. He was a man of con-
siderable ability, and from an early age has
occupied positions of prominence. He was
born in Kentucky in 1910, and at an early age
emigrated to Illinois. He served throughout
the Blackhawk war, and on his return was
elected to the State Senate, serving two terms.
He afterwards served three years in the lower
house. When the Republican party was
formed he was one of its most active promot-
ers, and labored earnestly with Mr.. Lincoln
and others in its support. On the death of
Douglas in 1851 he was chosen to fill the I'M
expired term in the United States Senate, and
served acceptably, though not winning dis
tinction for brilliancy. He was an earnest
supporter of Lincoln's administration,
but rebelled against the outrage at
tempted in the impeachment of
President johnson. He filled positions in the
cabinet as stated, but since 1869 has not ap.
peared in public life. He was man of excep-
tlonal purity Ill private life, sincere in his pc
litical convictions, and in every way worthy
of the praise OF being pronounced worthy OF
being an American citizen with all the honor
that the term implies.
