MATTERS fcEFORE CONGRESS Important Decision ' of the So preme Court If otes About Busi- T.iblT .' to - Come weiore Congress, Jfcc, Washington, Jan. 4. The number of commissions issued to fourth-class . postmasters since the fourth of March fast, is 13,425. " : " The Supreme Court of ? the United States today rendered - its decision upon the petition of Paymaster Gen, - eral Joseph A. Smith, of the Navy , Department, that the right of prohi bition issue restraining the becre tary of the Navy from further pro ; ceedings against him by the court f" martial for offenses alleged to have . been committed in' connection with .' the administration of bis functions as as chief of Bureau of the. Navy De- . partmentThe petition had been de nied by the Supreme : Court of the ' District of Columbia and this j udg ment is affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. ; The court also rendered its decision - in the three cases known as the Mis sissippi Bailroad Commission i cases. v The j udgments' of the Circuit Court from which these; are - appeals,? were reversed and the cases are remanded.: The railroads concerned are the Illt- nois Central, Mobile I & Ohio,- ami New Orleans & North Eastern. The principle involved is the right of the State to pas3 laws' controlling ir. cers tain respects, rauroaas wmcii eiwauu into other States. The decision is favorable to State control. ? LATER DISPATCHER ON THE SAME SUB . JECT. 1 , . . A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court today in the case of John H. Stone and others, composing ' the Railroad Commission of the State of Mississippi against the Farmers Loan and Trust Company appeal from the Circuit Court of the District of Mississippi. This is one of the Mississippi Railroad - Commission cases. It was brought by the Farm ers Loan and Trust Uompany, -of Ne w York, to enjoin the Railroad Com mission of Mississippi from enforcing . against the Mobile & Ohio Railroad ; Company provisions of the statute of Mississippi passed in; .88ii to pro vide for the . regulationljllf-fi'eight and passenger rates oh railroads- in the State aad.foc other purposes. - .. The ? statute declares thatvrailroads in the State are public highways over v which all persons have equal? rights; and aesaiy3Mctimiaaiott'' 'in rates a penal bffensev; ;It further pro vides for the appointment of a board of commissioners, andjconfers'Upoh it the power of revising; the tariff of . charges. and of exercising a certain degree, of supervision Over roads. Companies are required to make ,cer tain reports periodically "to the com1 missioners. The officers of the roada are male liable to a fine f or the yio lation of or non-compliance with pro- visions of the act, : whichfine may be ' collected through courts:' This, and certain other acts - relating ' to the chartering and control of the rail roads of the State, are cited at length in opinion. The Circuits Court en dered a decree allowing an injunc tion, and from that decree the com : missioners appealed-cv:; The argument in support of the de cree i3 that the statute in the number ' on which the commissioners are to to act, imposes the allegation of the - charter contract of the company; that it is the regulation of commerce " ""among States; that it denies the com pany' equal . protection of ; tfie laws and deprives it of its property, with- i -out due process of' law ; that it con pier's" both legislative and judicial ; powers upon the commission and is thus repugnant to the Constitution of Mississippi, and that-it isvoid -on its . fac& py; reason of cits inconsistencies andnpcerteinties. :BSt-it& . :; ,', .feSupreme Court finds that the charter of the company; contains no contractor obligations 'which 'is s in ; any ;, way impaired by ;the statute under whiob the commissioners are ttfclv.l$tiflnJs that the commission is in express terms prohibited by act of the State Legislature! from; intern , , iring. ; wit; th.e charges of the 'cdmpany1 r for transportation 1 of Sersons ,'orf.i'jproperty through ississippi, from one State to anoth- - fe):.. The C&btyTsSioners have as yet undertaken nothing' in conflict with . j t.yqnsttutjpn theiUnited States, AW; grpatjpyr;ppse,f .says, ?of the statute m question, is to fix the max . imum, of charges and to rfifrnkhA in some matters ,ot. police .nature, the in f its guuertu ' iscope 1G ig constitutional and Holt -applies equauy jto auj)ersons or corporations b wninff or 'Oberatinff raUrhkrtfl "in t.h State.

When the Commission has acted and proceedings are had to enforce what they have done, questions may arise is to.tbe validity of , some of the ya rious provisions, which will be -worj t;hy o consideration, but we are uh able to say that as a whole the stats ute is invalid. The decree of the Cir cuitUourt was reversed and the cause remanded, with instructions to dis rnisa the bill. The opinon was deli v ered by the Chief Justices. Justices Field and Harlanldissented 'from cer tain, of theopionions expressed by the Court in this, case, but concurred in the judgment Judge Blatchford did not set in this case or take any part in decision. ' In two - cases; those of its John M. Stone et al RaUroad Com missioners of Mississippi appellants, vs. ; Ellerts ; Central i Railroad -Corns pany : and the same appellants vs. New Orleans and Northwestern Rail road Company, decisions were ren dered in accordance, with the deci sions in Stone vs. the FarmerT Loan and Trust Company. Justice Blatch ford took no part in thse causes. . The most interesting and imDor tant feature of the present week in the House will be, of course, the an nouncement of the membership :. of the various committees, which . will formulate the work to be done by the 49th Congress, v Throughout the hoi iday recess, Speaker Carlisle has been busily engaged in forming the com mittees, and today he occupied one of theroomsat the capitoi ana aeny ins: himself to : all i callers, devoted himself to the completion of his, task. Unless something unforeseen f should happen, the result of his, labors will be announced td the House tomorrow immediately after the reading of the journal. ; Then, in obedience to the order of the House, tne call or states cor the introuctionr of bills ana reso lutionswill be resumed at the pcint where it was interrupted by the ad- journment for the holidays. StTe call will probably riot be completed until i late Wednesday afternoon. The 1004 bills introduced the day before the recess, were introduced by 88 members,' ; an average of over 1 1 ; bills to each representative. . bhouid this average be kept up, nearly 3,000 additional measures will? be referred on Tuesday and Wednesday to the newly appointed committees. ( ; r -: The i Hoar presidential; succession bill remains upon the Speaker's table and; though an attempt may be made to pass it by unanimous , consent, it will in all likelihood be referred to the committee ? having; jurisdiction over its subject matter; ? Should this be dne,-the House will find itself on Thursday without any business be fore I it, and ; an ad journment .until Monday will probably be taken to en ab!6 the committees to organize and to consider the report The proposed legislation bill, to fix the, salaries of judges of the district courts, and the resolution of inquiry with regard to the action of the au- .thorities of Dakota are unfinished business of the Senate. - The; com- tnittees of that body are expected to begin work s in earnest during the week,? and it is expected that not mueh' legislative work will be under taken in the Senate other, than, the consideration of the two; measures harried, Probably a large part of the time of the Senate will be spent with closed doors in an endeavor to diss pose of a great number of accumu lated nominations -; . ; ;' Id is - said at the Treasury Depart ment that the President will probably nominate an Assistant Treasurer for New York' city tomorrow or . next day, with the view of having a new appointee, and if he shall have been confirmed by the Senate he will as sume' charge of the sub treasury next Monday. The count of moneys and : securities which began; this morning; will be continued without interruption "until" the completion and it is hoped that the formal trans, fer of the office to ; Acton's successor can. be made during its progress. Representative ? Belmont,' of New York, has prepared ; a : resolution which he will offer? in the House o Representatives upon first opportuni tyfor the appointment of a commits tee of nine members to enquire into the manner in which the civil service law has been" executed and to suggest such modifications and improvements therein as ; may i prove beneficial to the service, f ; .-. : ; SAWCTIFICATIOW BY STA1JTA- Sixteenth iJay,of Thomas Green's Fast A. Con&rrcgration of Cranks. Palmyka - City. -Wis 1 Dec. 31- This is the sixteenth . day of ; Thos. Green's? fast because & of 'religious views, during which time he and his attendants claim he has entirely abs stained from food or nourishment. He insists upon refusing food until he shall have becbme "sanctified.". It also transpires that : the: Rev. ; Mr. Pitt, of Whitewater, who has charge of these meetings claims to have eaten on two occasions only since Mr. Green began abstaining, and that several other members-e the society are also fasting. . The fast began at the instigation of the pastor, in order that I his co- workers .might, receive more -power to convert ? outsiders to their, belief, the meetings having been entirely unsuccessiui; in tnau airec tion. The whole congregation seems to be on the point of starvation,; some being scarcely able to walk owing to weakness, and it is feared death or insanity may result. ? Several mems hers of the society have withdrawn from the meetings, thinking the mat ter is being carried too lar. v $ r-r Henry Failure In Charleston Charleston Jan. 4.

According to the latest' deductions from the occult sciences, the death of our. planet . and all it contains , is 2232. As well as is known, the music xf the spheres is supposed to be prov duced by the revolution ot tbeir or bits of the seven planets, Mercury, Venus, the Earth," the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.: f Dr. Pancoast, of Philadelphia,' who is recognized as the greatest living authority on mysi tic and cabalistic lore, has constructi on 'the 'seven harmonies'' . seven cycles of tile world's history; through the last of which the earth is now passing ' 'r y. The first cvcle in the series is that of Orfiel, the spirit of Saturn, which was a spirit-; of - darknass, savagery and sanguinary .influences, out of which nhvsical - humanity ?, grew stroug through conflict. The second is that of Aniel, the spirit of Venus, wnicp was; a period of voluptuous ness, folly and debauchery,, in which poetry took its l?rise and traces grew populous, t The third is that of Zach eriel. the angel of Jupiter, an epoch of wars and enlightenment, in which government took its rise. The fourth is that of Raphael, the archangel of mercury, which was a time of indus try and intelligence, in whichfscience began and commerce prospered.;'; The fifth is the cycle of Samiel, the angel of Mars, marking an era of corrup tion, bloodshed and destruction $ The sixth is that of Gabriel, the sbscalled angel of the Moon, and epoch oi re cuperation, growth ? and building up or lost or weakened -.energies. The seventh cvcle is that of Michael, the archangel of the Sun,- marking an epoch of sociability, refinement, great lnueiugenceana weaitn. ... Jkach cycle, according to Dr. fan- coast, consists of a period of 354 years ana 4 months. Basing his horoscope on certain passages in the Apocalypse,' he has found that the last cycle be gan in the year 1878, and that ..conse quently the end of he cycle and the world also.wiU have arrived 354 years nence, or in the year ' 2232. - We are now in the ovcle or Micnaei, ana may expect the -general winding up of our affairs some three centuries ? hence, when the great cataclysm is booked to occur. As a set-off to the unpleasantness, albeit truly scientific predictions of the learned Doctor, he announces that the year ;1886,Will be of exceptional business prosperityj in which large fortunes will be made. The era of prosperity win continue rom the present year Until the year 2055, - when, as the Doctor himself would say professionally, there will be a change for the worse in the con dition of our planet. r There is,' however, somethmg raai cally and scientifically wrong with Dr. Panccast s theory." In the 'hrst place, he docs not take lntoaccount our very oldest friends, Neptune and uranus, wno arc tue oass ana oan tone of the great star chorus of the universe. .Either ot tnem is oia enough to be " the grandfather of a turn; ; who' has been, lugged in for the Pancoast purposes as the beginning of the ,'be all . and end-all i here. ? pptune was born long before Satutn, the great celestial prize-fighter; step ped into the ring, or, before; Jupiter began to'Shine in all the glory lot his military belts. The : theory, as also very crude in the respect tpac it makes no provision for the Tedesption of those comets which are due at the great centre of the solar system after the year 2232. They will be going to no place in particular, . according to the learned Doctor : ; and that ot it self; considered mathematically, is sufficient to upset the Pancoast theo ry.; Besides it destroys the beautiful story of the Millennium and the hob by of the Second Advent people ana the vaticinations of the good Mother Shipton of oraeular fame. ?0Dasfp Pan coast's theory is not destined to be come a popular illusion. ; .
