AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court Of the United States
yesterday decided tho constitutional case
of the United States against Il. G.. Harris
and others, brought there from the United
States Circuit Court OF Tennessee. The
facts out of which this litigation arises. so
far as they are disclosed by the record and
the pleadings, are briefly as follows:
Some time in the year 1877 four citizens
OF Tennessee-supposcd to be colorcd men,
although not so described III the record
were arrested by one Tucker, Il deputy
Sheriff, upon warrants issued hy Justice of
the peace, and held to answer certain crimi-
nal charges, the nature of which is not set
forth. While in the custody of the deputy
sheriff these four prisoners were attacked
by an armed body of men, of whom the de-
PENDANT, Harris, was one, and so seriously
beaten, wounded and maltrcated. that p.
NJ. Wells, one of their number, died from
the effects of his injuries. An indictment
was found BY the grand jury against Harris.
and his associates of the attacking party.
under section 55l9 of the Revised Statutes.
charging them with conspiracy to deprive
the four prisoners above mentioned of their
right to the due and equal protection of the
laws OF Tennessee, and of their right to be
protected from violence while under arrest.
The defendants demurred to the indictment
on the grounds, first. that the offences
created by section 55l9 of the Revised Sta
tutes are not constitutionally within the iu-
rsdiction Of the courts of the United States.
but are cognizable by State tribunals only
and, second, that the said section 55l9. in
SO far as it creates offences and imposes
penalties, is in violation of the federal con-
stitution and an infringement of tile rights
of the several States and of the people
thereof
Justice Woods, in a long and carefully
prepared opinion, announced the decision
of the court, as follows: The court has
been unable to find any constitutional au-
thority for the enactment Of section 5519 of
the Revised Statutes The point in refer
ence to which the judges of the Circuit
Court were divided in opinion must be de-
cided against the constitutionality of the
law
Mr.. Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion of the majority of the court upon
the question OF its Jurisdiction, but express
ed no opinion with regard to the merits of
the case.

GAMEETrA'S DEATH CHAMBER.-As fast
rs visitors arrive they are marshaled four
abreast III long line, and admitted in
small numbers to the bed chamber. The
scene was Il striking one and Gambctta
himself could have desired no better con-
tradlctlon OF all the stories of his luxurious
and profligate habits than that furnished by
his surroundings. We had been told so
many times that we had almost begun to
believe it, that he held high festival behind
the trelises of his portico; that his dining
room was the scene of great banuuets, and
that he held wassail with the other repub-
llcan leaders when he should have been at
work tor the public benefit. But the little
modest dining room, with its shabby side
board, its ordinary table, and its few shaky
chairs, the white dimity curtains at the
window, the bare floor, and COMMONPLACE
cutlery and glass, all showed that Gambetto
mad thong mt little of the pleasures of the ia.
pie, and that he could not, had he wished
nave entertained upon large scale. The
little pavilion was, in short the home of
man entirely devoted to the public interest
and of one who thought but little of himself
There were no objects Of art, none of tho
costly and beautiful bibelots with which
celebrat ed man usually likes to surround him
self. There were only books, a few engray-
lngs representing events in Gambetta's ca
reer and portrait of Victor Hugo with the
autograph of the master, who had given II
ito his dear Gambetta" This humble
spectacle caused a stupefaction among the
reac;ionists who had gone out to Vile d'Ay-
ray to get material for fresh scandals. aud
it is said that some of them adopted new
tactics and ridiculed the house as the home
OF miser bourgeois without taste, &c

preme Court his brief in the case of Tinsley, the
colored man from this State convicted for marry.
ing white woman, contrary to the laws of the
State. Mr. Blairs brief holds that the case re-.
solves itself into two legal propositions: first, is
the law of Virginia prohibiting marriages between
white and black persons constitutional: and
second, whether marriage is valid which is pro.
hlblted BY the laws of Virginia where the parties
go outside OF the State temporarily for the pur-
pose OF evading the law, and return to their dom.
iclie ia the State AZ to the first proposition he
holds that it cannot be successfully contested. As
TO the second proposition. he quotes English and
french law to prove that marriages Of subjects Of
those countries contracted outside Of the domin.
ions are not recognized. even if valid when con !.
tracted.

a Fatal. CHo!CE.-With the drifting
clouds of smoke and steam that rise from
the ruins Of the i'll fltc;l Nrwha!l House at
Milwaukee there comes also sadly roman
tic story, in which u gentleman OF this city
is one Of the actors. Onl y II few months ago
Mr., Porcolls. of this city. went to Omaha
to marry Miss Sutton, to whom he had been
engaged for some time. He remained there
some time. His friends waited with
no little wonder at the delay to hear that the
ceremony had been performed. No word
came, however. and TO the surprise of all,
when at last the groom elect did return. he
brought with him the sister Of the lady TO
whom he had been engaged, and for whose
hand he had gone to the Dominion. 1t
seems that when Mr.. Porteous reached
the homo of his tiance another had come
between them. She had met and learned
to love an actor and promised to become his
wife. This Mr.. Porteous learned when she
had refused him her hand and given him
his liberty He then found out that his
affection had transferred itself to Miss SUIT
tons sister. and forthwith wooed and won
her, returning home in triumph with bride
The young lady to whom Mr.. Porteolis first
Entrusted his heart, no longer fettered with
a betrothal then gave her heart to Mr.. John
Gilbert. of the Minnie Palmer Company. and
with him went OH the boards. This fact
was not known TO the wife of Mr.. Portions
however, and for several weeks she has been
expecting visit from her sister. When
some days ago the news of the terrible
calamity at Milwaukee was flashed over the
wires Mrs. Porteous was struck BY the name
of Mrs. John Gilbert among the victims and
an investigation 1:G"ed the sad facts too
true. Her only sister, the bride of one
night, was burned in chat fearful dcaLh.trap.

New YORK, Jan. 223.-At ten minutes to
one Yesterday afternoon there was a loud
report at Some 4 Jennings oil works at
Grecnpoint. and in an instant the meadow
for twenty or thirty feet around was cover
cd with blazing OIL The workmcn in the
cabin stumbled over each other in their
haste to rush out through rear door and
ran wildly to safe distance from the ad-
vancins flames. When they turned to see
the cause of the fire they saw that the heavy
door of the still had been blown out with
such force that it dashed its way through
the heavy brick wall, which was now in
ruins, and had torn off the roof of coal
shed twenty feet away. Nothing could be
seen Of the foreman or the still man. An
alarm was quickly given and the tiremen
soon upon the scene of the explosion.
Meanwhile another still had become isnited
and the flames were still fercer. There
was not much danger of spread of the
conilagration and little could be done until
the flames had subsidized. Then the tiremen
searched for the bodies of the two unfortu.
nate men, which they soon found.
