Scion Chase ON the Second District Elec-

Scion Chase on the Second District Elec-
ton Case.
Scion Chase thrust himself into his biggest
cowhide boots, just as the old chimney corner
clock of Chase's Mills struck five Tuesday A.
NJ, fed his steeds, seized his grip-sack and
started West Before leaving he suffered
himself to confess the depth of his disappoint-
ment at the result of the election in the Sec
ond Congressional district. In reply to ques-
ton why the Democratic candidate was with
drawn, the great Greenbacker replied
"There was SO few of 'em they didn't dare to
stand up and be counted" Scion did not con-
ceal his inability to find where the Greenback-
ers of the second district were between the hours
of q. M and D. m. on Monday, but AFTER a
little skirmishing with his white hat hepricked
up courage and continued. Things is how
just where we want 'em. Hereafter there
will be but two parties in this State-the Re-
publican and the Greenbaek." Respectfully
referred to the Democratic district committee.

Capt. Bunker of the barque Alexander
Campbell of Portland, which arrived at this
port on Monday, from Sydney, G.. B., was
fined at that port $50 and costs amounting to
about $50, for having on board two runaway

After the war, however, different prac-

II being then very properly considered that
the principles underlying the question in

that conflict.
Several cases have occurred In which the
Supreme Court hae exercised appellate juris-
diction to revise The decisions OF the State

formly respected and obeyed the mandate Of

by The 20th section OF the tudicisry

tended 10 be by the court and the counsel
who presented the petition and made the
motion. A judgment nunc pro tune
would indeed, under the circumstances,
have been most unusual and unjust
proceeding, Of which that high court was
Incapable. The Judgment OF the Circuit
Court OF Rockingham, which was hnal IN
itself, became irreyerslble by any court
after toe Ism day OF April, 1873, upon
which day the right OF the plaintiffs To pre-
sent petition for u writ Of error and the
power Of the Court OF Appeals to receive
il for any purpose had expired, and the I'M
munity OF the defendant from all liability
for the debt claimed had become forever a
vested and established right. The opinion
OF the Supreme Court delivered by Mr..
Chief Justice Marshall In er.porte Watkins,

the subject on which il is rendered. and
pronounces the law OF the case. The judg.

ton Is final, IL as conclusive on all the
world as the judgment OF this court would
be. IL Is Us conclusive on this court as il
is on other courts. II puts an end 10 in
quiry concerning the fact by deciding IT."
That judgment was therefore then conclu.
siye on all courts, including the Court OF
Appeals and the Supreme Court. The de.
fendant had as clearly an established right
10 immunity and exemption from further
liability or inquiry upon the subject
as II the plaintiffs had given him
a release under seal placed on re.

highest possible establishment by record

rendered on the 18th day OF April, 1871,
and the petition for the writ was not pre-
sented TO the Court OF Appeals for its Judi
cial action until the II b day OF Sep.

months after the right TO present 1t

court 10 receive it had lapsed and gone.

| And 1t II PLAIN from the extraordinary char
