DECISIONS QUOTED.

The Chief Justice quoted numerous
decisions. holding that public offices are
mere agencies or trusts, and not prop
erty as such. nor are the salary and
emoluments property. secured by con-
tract. but compensation for services ac-
tually rendered
After quoting Section 4, article Of
the Constitution, In which the United
States guarantees to every State n re-
publican form of government, etc, the
court says 1t was long since settled that
the enforcement OF this guarantee be-
lonGed to the political department.
THREE DISSENTING OPINIONS.
There were three dissenting opinions.
Justice Mckenna was the first of the
dissenters to be heard. He stated that
while he concurred in the result. he was
not prepared TO say that public office
was not property.
Justice Brewer also based his dissent
upon the point of offices as property.
Justice Brewer said no question could
be raised In the courts as TO honesty or
integrity OF the members of The Lcgis-
lature in the discharge of their duties.
That lies between them ana their con-
stituents.
In conclusion, Justice Brewer agrees
with the Court of Appeals of kentucky
that upon the award OF the Assembly

Justice Harlan, In his dissenting opin-
ion, quotes various authorities. and says
that, Notwithstanding them, the deci-
SION to-day is that this court has no ju-
risdiction to inquire whether the citi-
zen has been deprived, without due pro-
cess of law, OF an office held by him un-
der the constitution and laws of his
state. If the contest between the one
holding the office and the person seek
ING to hold 1t is determined by the Leg
isature. in prescribed mode, this
court, it appears. cannot inquire
whether that mode was pursued, and
cannot interfere for the protection OF
the incumbent. even IL the final action
OF The Legislature was confessedly ca
prioiouS and arbitrary.
when the fourteenth amendment
forbade any State from depriving any
person of life. liberty or property with
out due process OF law. it had supposed
that the purpose was 10 guard citizens
against being deprived Of any legal
right in violation of the fundamental
guarantees that nhere in due process
OF law
But 1t seems that under our system
of government the right of citizen to
exercise STATE office to which he has
been lawfully elected by the people
may. SO far as the Constitution of the
United States is concerned be taken
from him by the arbitrary action OF
State Legislature in utter disregard of
the principle that Anglo Saxon freemen
have for centuries deemed to be essen
tail 10 the requirement OF due process
of law. l cannot assent to this inter
probation of the fourteenth amend
mcnt."

Atlanta. Ga, May 21.-At the fifth
days session of the thirty-ninth annual
session or the Southern General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church to-day
the question as to individuals over
turning the assembly was again raised.
Two overtureS were offered. One from
NJ. G. Taylor, OF Hico, Tex. regarding
divorce and another from Robert Os-
borne. of Petersburg, Va, asking q
change in the book of church.
Tie discussion as 10 whether these
ovcrturcs should be received became
general, there being O. great diversity
of opinion among the commissioners
whether individuals should file petitions
to the higher court before the lower
court had been appealed to. The law OF
the church on oVerturnt5 was read but
this was differently construed by the
commissioners who made arguments
for and against the reception of the
overtures. 1t was stated that other
overtures had been received from ihdi-
vlduals during the present session. and
n motion from Elder j. L. Dean, that
the overtures be received. was adopted.
Invitations were received from the
Mayor OF Fort Worth, Tex, and from
the congregation Of the First Presby-
terrain Church. OF Little Rock, TO hold
next years session at those places.
The scni-annual report of the Louis
VILE Theological Seminary was read,
showing that institution to be in pros
porous condition.
An overture. which may later in the
session precipitate n discussion on the
confession of faith OF the church. was
presented from the BraZos CreX.) Pres
bytery. 1t asked that the assembly
hand down TO the Presbyteries for their
vote an amendment to the confession
OF faith as follows:

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECIDES IN FAVOR OF BECK
HAM.
tBy Telegraph to vlrginian- Pllot.)

Washington, May 21.-The u. S. SUI
preme Court to-day decided the Ken
lucky Governorship case in favor OF
Democratic Governor Beckham, in both
quo warranto and the equity proceed
ings. For want of jurisdiction the court
dismissed the writ of error from the
Kentucky Court Of Appeals. The opinion
was handed down by Chief Justice Full
Ter and Il vigorous dissenting opinion
was delivered by Justice Harlan, the
only one to advocate reversal of the
Kentucky court decision. Justices
Brewer, Brown and McKenna also dis
sented from portions of the opinion.
In diminishing the writ OF error the
Chief Justice said the court should be
the last TO ovelttep the bounds limit
ing its own jurisdiction, and that in the
determination of cases of this charac-
ter. contests for State Offices must ne
cessarily be settled by the political
branch of the Government. That branch
had acted in the Kentucky case when
the General Assembly took jurisdiction.
There was no appeal from the AS
sembly's decision, which was favorable
TO Goebel and Bcckham, except to the
tribunal of the people. which tribunal

the belief that there was a fixed pur-
pose on its part to put Goebel into Office
