FEDERAL JUDICIAL ITSURPATMS. 1 iitions for writs of habeas corpus an4 ffirtMrari were submitted lo Che 6m preme Court of the United States Mon day by the Governor of Virginia, on be half of the State, and by J. D. Cotei judge of the county court of Pittsyl vania county, for the purpose of bring ing up and testing the legality of Judge Rives' action in causing several judges of the State courts to be arrested and imprisoned upon the charge of violat ing the civil rights of citizens; and that the court would, next Monday,: heat arguments in support of the petition? On the same day the same, question that of the distinctive rights of the States will come before the court in a little different form, the other case be ing the Lee and Burwell Reynolds case out of which this grew. A brief re capitulation of the facts of the lafter case is necessary here to a proper un derstanding of the issues involved; The Reynolds brothers, negroes, were indicted in the State court for Patrick county, Va., for murder. Both were convicted and the verdicts in both cases were set aside and new trials ordered. On these new trials the jury failed to agree-in one case and in the other found the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. During the trial the accused petitioned the court to dis charge the jury and summon a new one composed in part of negroes, which the court refused, because the law of Vir ginia makes no distinction on account of race or color in qualification of jurors. Therefore Judge Rives, the United states judge, ordered the cases to be removed to his court for trial, be cause, as he alleged, "the parties were not allowed a fair trial, such as is guar anteed them by the laws of Virginia. Judge Rives thereupon took the pris oners out of the custody of the State and is holding them for trial at' the April term of his court. The General Assembly in this emergency took -the matter up and instructed the attorney-general to proceed by proper pro cexline in the Supreme Court of the" "United States,and by the Virginia mem bers of Congress to procure the appro priate legislation, to remedy the wrojig. Accordingly General Field, the attor ney-general of Virginia, moved in the Supreme Court of the United States for a rule on J udge Rives to show cause by March 31, why a mandamus should not issue commanding him (Judge Rives) to return the prisoners to the custody of the Virginia authorities, there to te dealt with according to law. This case comes on for hearing, as above stated, on Monday next. But this was not the end of Judge Rives' usurpation. IIaing proceeded to this extent he went further, and at subsequent sittings of his court indict ed a nnmhpT rvf th lnrlcroa nf tht pnnn- ty courts of Virginia, and imprisoned them, for the reason that they failed or refused to summon negroes to sit on Vie juries in their courts. J.D.Coles, the complainant as above, is one of the judges thua imprisoned. The principle involved in the two cases is, as readily appears, precisely the same, and ! this principle is, briefly stated, whether the United States courts have authority to take up and over-rule at will the action of a State court in any given case It is a legal-constitutional question in volving the separate rights and powers of the State and general governments, and the decision of it implies conse quences important and far-reaching. Similar cases have arisen in this and other States, and the question is by no manner of means sectional in its. char acter. With its decision will come a sharp definition of lines which cannot be too strongly marked and with it may come (though we hope not) a shift ing of the base upon which our entire judicial fabric is founded. To ut the case more forcibly we quote from the Washington Gazette, from which we condensed a portion of the facts above as to the Reynolds case: "On the de cision," says the Gazette, "will depend the result whether this is a constitu tional government, with rights and iuweis ui otarcs ana d eaerai govern ment denned and ascertained, or wheth er all power-is to be absorbed in J,he .eaerai government, and there is now estaonsnea an imperial, absolute de mocracy with all power centralized in one hand. If the Supreme Court sus tains the former; view, then peace and prosperity will resume their sway over the country; if they decide in favor of centralization, then it will be necessary to correct the decision by re-organizing ine supreme Court. , THE WASHI5GT03 BEAD-LOCK.! it cannot possibly be told what the President will do with reference to the army appropriation bill. Hon. J. M. Leach, of our own State, who arriyed in Raleigh last Friday, saidtfcit Mr. Hayes would veto it; Hon.M.C.Butler, or south Carolina, who passed through this city last Sunday, said that Mr. Hayes would, sign it The intelligent ana reliable Washington correspondent or the Richmond Dispatch, telegraph ing that paper; under, date of Monday, says inat tne President will certainly veto the bill r the equally intelligent , and reliable Washington correspondent oi the Louisville Cottrfcrvbwmatele- grapnea nis paper Sunday that Mr. iiayes would certainly Bignit;?andthe in ; whose saeacitv we have fverv mru mAZi'A-'i-r: 7UUU.

If the President signs the army bill lie must sign the other too; if he refuse to sign the army bill he must refuse to sign the other, too, and thus the session must be prolonged indefinitely. The Democrats will not yield and the whole responsi bility is placed upon the Preiident The,whole question has been reduced to one of endurance, and it will be in teresting to know who can hold out the longer. The State Bullktin." This is the name of a newspaper, the first num ber of which is on our table. It is pub lished by T. W. Clawson & Co, at Ches ter, S. O, and Messrs. B. McClure and T. W. Clawson, Jrn are the editors. The mechanical department is, we believe, under the management of Mr. J. J. Hull, and the paper is a model of typographi cal excellence. The State Bulletin in its first issue gives excellent promise of interest and value to the people among whom it is published. All of its de partments are well conducted, and its local and news columns are especially full. We extend the traditional right hand across the border, and wish our new Palmetto contemporary a career of honor, usefulness and prosperity. Indian War Brewing. Another Indian war is brewing, this time in Ne vada, and the New York Sun thus states the case: "The Piutes, who are Christians, and ordinarily very peace ful, are angry because a drunken miner, named Hubbard, deliberately, and with out the slightest provocation, murdered a squaw. The Indians seem to think that Hubbard ought to be arrested and punished just the same as if he had murdered a white woman, but nothing has yet been done in the matter by the authorities. The Indian braves are as sembling from various quarters, and it is feared that they will attack one of the small mining towns. Then the Governor of Nevada will telegraph for troops, and some newspapers will de mand the extermination of the sav ages." Latter Day Christianity Pec pie who have heard by the hearing of the ear, and have but vague ideas, of the general character of the latter day re ligion ( ?), now so popular in America, want to read, on the outside of to-day's Observer, a brief special to the Phila delphia Times, reporting Monday's pro ceedings in the Talmage trial. Wheth er it is better to be a straignt-out sin ner, or a Christian of the Talmage-Van dyke variety, is a question over which the seeker after truth mavwell scratch his head. STATE SEWS. Wilmington was much pleased with the Campbell company's Pinafore. The damage by the recent cold snap seems to have been general throughout the State. The News says that Sam Williams, a colored train hand on one of the rail roads running into Raleigh, fell be' tween two freight cars last Monday and was crushed to death. Wilmington Sun : The United States refunding certificates of SlO denomina tion, are being called for at the post of fice ngnt along, me certincates are a boon to the not over-wealthy class of our people, in the way of savings. The Wilmington Star says the Nich olson buildings, at Magnolia, were de stroyed by fire Monday morning about clock. The buildings referred to embrace a fine dwelling, a store, office, and out houses. At a meeting of the private stock holders of the Western North Carolina Railroad, held in Newton, on the 4th inst., Maj. Wilson and Messrs. J. 8 Hen derson and J. S. Brown were re-elected directors; Messrs. P. C. Carlton, John G. Bynum and D. C. Pearson were elect ed a board of inspection. Mr. s. H. Wiley was chosen to the vacancy on the finance committee. These facts from the Enterprise. Alamance Gleaner: Lawrence and Banks Holt, of the firm of E. M. Holt's Sons, some weeks ago, bought the pro- on Big Alamance, from P. F.

Scnllicru Finance A Constitutional Questicr. Washington. April 7. The control ler 01 tne currencv has received from the bank examiner in Georgia a speci men of the new four per cent, bonds re cently issued by that State. They are in size and color similar to greenbacks. and in other respects they are bonds with interest payable six years after date, with six annual coupons, amount ing to 20 cents each, upon the right end of the note. The controller, innis re ports for 1872 and 1873, called the at tention of Congress to the issue of cer tificates of the denomination of $5 by Alabama, which were receivable in payment of taxes and all dues to the State. The Question is likely to arise whether these bonds are bills of credit. The controller, m his report tor 1872, said the constitution of the United States provides that no State shall emit bills of credit, and it has been held by the Supreme Court of the "United States in a famous case (Iscoe vs. Bank of Kentucky) that- a note of circulation " issued by a State involving the faith of the State, and designed to circulate as money on the credit or tne state in the ordinary course bill of credit. Other Supreme Court hold issued by a State in of business." is a decisions-of the "that certificates sums hotexceed- ing $10 nor less than $5, and receivable In payment of taxes, the faith and cred it of the State being pledged for their redemption, are bills of credit within the prohibition of the constitution."

A brief Democratic caucus was held in the hall of the House, immediately after adjournment to-day, for the pur pose of taking some action which would permit the introduction and considera tion of certain financial measures dur ing the present session of Congress. Representive House, of Tennessee, pre sided, and Messrs. Mills, of Texas, and Covert, of New York, acted as secreta ries. Kenna, of West Virginia, sub mitted the following resolution, which was adoDted unanimously : "Besotted, That it is the judgment of this caucus that the House shall not adjourn over Monday next, but that there should be a session on that day to allow the introduction of bills in the usual manner, and the placing of im portant legislation in, the line of pro gress without unnecessary delay." Stephens, or lieorgia, tnen ottered the following, with the request that it be read and laid on the table for the action of a future caucus : Resolved. That the aims and objects of the Democracy of the United States, as far as we, chosen by them as mem bers of the present House of Represen tatives, are entitled to be considered as the true exponents of those aims and objects, are directed with a singleness of purpose to the restoration of consti tutional liberty, and with it the resto ration oi peace, harmonv and1 prosperi ty throughout the length and breadth jf ii 1 i mi ' a i i oi uie ictiiu. xney aujure me renewal of sectional strife. They accept all the legitimate results of the late lamented war. Ihey are utterly opposed to a re vival in this country or any part there of ot Atrican slavery or any other kind of slavery or involuntary servitude, ex cept as punishment for crime. Thev stand pledged to maintain the union of the States under the constitution with all its existing amendments as thev shall be expounded by the Supreme court ot tne united states. They are against all unconstitutional or revolu tionary methods. They are for law and order, and the protection of life, liberty and property, without respect of person or social conditions. For the redress of all grievances thev look alone to the peacetul instrumentality of the consti tution: 1 irst, the law-making power; second, the law-expounding power; third, the law-executing power, and finally, the ultimate sovereign power of the ballot-box. They are tor a tree bai lot as well as for a fair and just count While they are opposed to a large stand ing army, as were the framers of the constitution, yet they are for keeping the army sufficiently, large to repel in vasion, defend our extensive frontier, as well as all necessary interior forts and garrisons, and to enable the Presi dent to put down domestic violence or insurrection ,in any ot the states, and in aid ot civil omcers as a posse comitatus in the execution of legal process in pursuance of the con stitution and as provided in the acts of Congress of 1795 and 1807. But tney are utterly opposed to the use or the military forces of the United States in controlling or in any way interfering with the ireedom ot elections. They are for the maintenance of the public credit inviolate, but are utterly oppos ed to an increase of the bonded debt unless the exigencies of war should render it necessary. They are for re trenchment of expenditures, lessening the burdens or taxation, and a thorough reform m the present unequal and un just method of raising revenue. They are ioi placing me coinage ot goia anu silver upon the same footing without restriction or limitation upon the amount of either. They are for reviv ing. the languishing and perishing in dustries of the country by an increase of the volume of currency .founded on a sound basis, sumcient to meet the ur gent demands of trade in every depart- , , ,, menc oi laoor ana ousiness. i Without transacting any further busi ness the caucus adjourned.
