The Federal Supreme Court, as a co ordinate branch of our government, has very justly, for a century past, been re garded as the palladium of the people's rights, not so much in many instances because everybody greed that its de cisions were what they ought to have been, because often the justices them selves differed on very material points, as it was because of the fact that it was the court of last resort, and all were compelled to abide by its decision on any given question. The results of the war between the States left us the necessity of adopting the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the constitution. As politicians dif fered as to their construction, at the time of their consideration by Congress, so have many eminent legal minds dif fered as to their construction in the courts. To settle all controversy, the Supreme Court on March 1st announc ed its decisions which will have a very important bearing in such cases as come directly within the purview of the ultimatum of the Supreme Court. While we do not agree with the ma jority decision of the supreme bench, we are truly glad that a decision has at length been reached, because it will tend to settle some very ugly questions of jurisdiction. "We remember at the time that Judge Cox rendered his de cision in the Hoskins case there was very general dissatisfaction among the gentlemen composing the bar of the State, and Judge Schenck, whose, opin ions on mere questions of law rank very high among the legal fraternity, took open issue with Judge Cox. By reference to another part of this paper to-day, it will be seen that Judge Cox has been sustained in his decision on the law in regard to the rights of par ties in certain cases to have the trial removed to the Federal Court. The Federal Courts have been charg ed with being too lenient with law breakers of this class. These courts are or ought to be both as able and wil ling to protect the people's rights as the State courts are, and justice ought to be dispensed with the same fidelity, the same zeal, as well as the same rigors of the law, in the one as in the other. If this cannot be done then has the crea ture risen above the creator. The peo ple ought to feel that these Federal, Courts are our courts. Our judges hold them, and our juries try the facts. Why should there be a conflict between State justice and Federal justice? and why should any court, State or Federal endeavor to shield a criminal who has violated the law. We believe that the decisions in these four cases will settle much of the politi cal controversy, as stated by the Balti more Sun, which has grown out of the 13th, 14th and 15th articles of amend ments to the constitution of the United States, and also define and fix the right of federal officers to remove criminal cases from the State to the. United States courts. These decisions have been anxiously looked for by members of the legal profession and public men. "The case of Strander vs. West Vir ginia, involved the constitutionality of a statute of that State which excludes colored people from being drawn and acting as jurors. Under the ruling of the court no State can pass any such law ; and in the case ex parte Common wealth of Virginia and J. D. Cowles, also decided to-day, the court goes still further. In this case Cowles, being a county court judge in Virginia, under the State statute, by virtue of his office, selected the jurors to serve in the cir cuit and eounty courts of his county. He was indicted in 1878 in the United States Court in Virginia, under the act of Congress approved March 4, 1875, (civil rights bill,) charged with having excluded from the jury lists for his county, citizens of his county on ac count of their color and previous condi tion of servitude. It was not denied that the colored citizens were otherwise qualified. In this case the court hold that not only can a State not discrimi nate against the colored race, but that no agency oLHie Stale or officer can do so without ''being liable and punishable unaer me act of March 4, 1875. The practical effect of this decision is to ren- uer uaoie 10 indictment and punish ment in the Federal courts every per son who, by virtue of any public posi tion under a State government, deprives another of any right of person or prop erty without due process of law. The court say that the officer acts for the State, is clothed with its power, and therefore whatever such officer may do is the act of the State, "In ex parte Commonwealth of Vir ginia, involvina: the right of transfer of a criminal case from the State to the Federal court, under section G41 of the United States Revised Statutes, it is held that the refusal of the State court to amend a venire so that a portion of the jury should be colored men, is not such a denial of a right secured by law to a colored man as to justify a removal of the cause from the State to the Fed- oral court. The acts of Congress and the constitutional provision have, the Supreme court say, 'made the rights and responsibilities, civil and criminal, of white and black people the same.' Un der these decisions a ' State cannot, through its executive, judicial or legis lative department, or through other agencies, deprive a black man of any right which' a white man has under the law. And if Congress has failed to provide an adequate remedy, one can be found in the revisory power of the Supreme court of the United States. The fourteenth article of amendments to the United States constitution is held to reach nothing but infringement of civil rights by State. . -The fourth case referred to as decid ed to-day (State of Tennessee vs. Davis) settles all dispute about the; right of tt.!j cfofM rAvp.nue officers, where hV ATA Indicted in a State court ior any act 'done by them in the dis charge of their duty, or under color of their office, or for any act which they claim was done in such manner, to remove such State prose cutions from the State courts to the Federal courts, there to be tried. This has been a vexed question i n many of the Southern States for years, and. in many cases has brought about a con flict of authority between the Federal and State courts. In. North Carolina, several years ago, the case of the State vs. Hoskins, involving this ques tion, went to the highest court of that State, and was by that tribunal decided in favor of the Federal jurisdictfon and the constitutionality of the act author izing the transfer. In this case Judge Cox, of Raleigh, a Superior Court Judge and a strong Democrat, held in favor of the constitutionality of the law, and based his opinion generally on the same reasoning and authorities used by the United States Supreme Court. "The effect of these decisions upon politicsintheSouth.it is alleged, will be quieting, even if for the present dis tasteful, and in many respects obnox ious. They will take out of the politi cal campaigns many questions of no practical utility. At the same -time many of the ablest jurists view with surprise, if not alarm, tins far reaching demolition, by the highest judicial au thority of the country, of what has been considered as left of "the reserved rights of the States. As Justice Field inti mated in his dissent in one of the cases, it reduces the States to the level of mere municipal corporations. The court room, (luring the delivery of the opin ions, was crowded with prominent members of the bar, and with leading politicians of both parties. Republican leaders profess themselves as more than satisfied with the judgment of the court, as they hold that the reconstruction legislation is thus sustained in its en tirety, and this view is not controvert ed by the Democrats. The opinion of the court in the election cases from Maryland and Ohio was not delivered, although prepared, as they were not reached, the entire session of the court being occupied with the opinions and dissents in the cases above noted." ILLJ01S ST11AVYS. When the Pennsylvania Republicans threw up their hats and declared for a third term, and was then followed by the Utica convention, The Obskrveh claimed that the next move on the political chess-board was the same kind of an expression from Illinois, and the thing would be settled. To show how beautifully the machine is working, we clip the following from a leading editorial in the National Re publican of March 1st: The prominent representative men of the Republican party in Illinois have recently held a conference at Chicago on the subject of the open ing campaign, which evidenced the fact that the tide of public sentiment which has swept over Xew York and Pennsylvania and has led them to de clare "unequivocally for Grant, has reached, and is acting upon the politi cal elements of that noble State. The meeting gave marked evidence that the Republicans of Illinois do not propose to desert her eminent citizen, but to cast their votes solidly for Ulys ses S. Grant at the national convention. So that Illinois is merely following in the wake of Xew York and Penn sylvania, and the only hitch in the programme now, is that the State ex ecutive committee of the Republican party of that State have been impru dent in fixing the call for the State convention on the lDth of May. This only proves that the committee hesi tates to swallow the third term pill, but like a sick man in the hands of his physician, it will be taken all the same. THE INDIAN T KICK I TORY.

Kansas City, Mo., March 3 Intense excitement prevailed here last night in consequence of a statement that the United States attorney was directed to read the President's proclamation at the Okatahama meeting in the Merchants' Exchange, last night.

Y., Destroy ed by Incendiaries. 2skw York, March 3 A Rochester special states that about half past two o ciocK jcaLciuiiy morning, a louu ex plosion awoke tne inhabitants of Ber gen, denessee county, and a barn near King s warehouse in the business part of the village was discovered to be on fire. Another heavy explosion occurred and the roof of Tully's hardware store was hurled to the ground in fragments. Almost immediately a third explosion occurred in an adjoining building, and in a tew minutes the ilames spread along the whole street. The fire appa ratus was in one of the first on fire, and mere was nothing with which to fight the fire. Aid was telegraphed for from Rochester, but before a response could be made to the call the entire business portion of Bergen was in ruins. Twenty-eight business places and nine dwel lings were destroyed. ' The fire was plainly the work of incendiaries, as evi dences of a train powder from the barn to the buildings where the second and third explosions occurred could be easi ly traced while the fire was raging. Loss, $140,000. The Duty on Quinine. Washington, March 3. The House ways and means committee gave a hearing to-day to a number of quinine manufacturers, who desire that the du ty on the imported article, technically known as sulphate of quinine, which was removed by an act of Congress passed during the extra session last year, shall be restored. The manufac turers urge that, while the duty on qui nine has been removed, the articles from which it is manufactured are still taxed. To offset these taxes on the raw material from which quinine is made, and give them a fair chance with for eign manufacturers, they urge the im position of a duty of at least ten per cent, on imported quinine. They also presented a memorial signed by drug gists of foity-eight cities in various parts ot the country, favoring the duty of ten per cent, ad valorem on foreign quinine, tor the reason that American quinine is or better quality than for eign, and should be protected.
