The Saprsme Conri decides the case of Cook against Meares and the de.:is;ori is in favor of Metres. Jua tiue Furches renders the ' opinion, which sajs every question h.volved in the case save one is decided in the caaj of Ewart against Jon a and thi: one quefatioa is that Cook was elected U,ic" days before the act was eigted by the President of the Sen ute and the Speaker, of he House There is no doubt of Cook's being elected, and it is contended that the 'Legislature's will so clearly ex pressed should not be defeated by a mere technicality. Deferdant Meares contended that when Cook-was deck ed there was no such office ; that the act was no act at all until ratified and signed. The opinion refers to the caee of Scarborough against Robinflon; brocght 'to compel the President and Speaker to sign, after the Legislature had adjourned, a bill passed by the Legislature; and says that the forrcr court decided, that it was not a law until so signed. The court says it finds very respectable authority to the contrary, but does not pass upon thu question. It does say, howi-yer, that tne opinion an nounces a very grave proposition and that if what was held in tbat proposition be true, the presiding officers of'the Legislature are c'othi d with powers greater J,han ivo0e of the President if the United btates or any GoTernor ; but the, court says thieScarboro case is now put out of consideration because the act creating the Criminal Court was signed and is now a law, and to quote the opin ion, "We put oar judgmeut on this act, now the law, whicb provides that it sha!l be in effec from and after its ratification, which ia ia tffect saying th.t it ehall not be in effect before"tha5 time, and upon the opinion of Shotle3 against Hampton, which holds that a person cannot be elected to an otu s - thaf. d.jes not ex isr at the time of the election. It is better that the "intention" of the Legislature should be defeated for a time than that we should violate the law. We Suet no. error in thsjidg uient appeal. d from and the eame 8 affirmed." C'ark and Ayery file concurring opicibna. Tie latter doss not concur entire y in the court's reasons and saya, referring to the Scarboro case, that the court did not transcend tie proper limit in discussing and passing upon the questions involved in it.

Here are some extracts from the work which are worth thinking about: "You do nottennch the peo ple of the'silver States one ceut by the renionit:ztion of silver, except in cimmon with the people of the Statj of Illinois, und the whole Uni'ed States. "You increase the' ahe . of all property by aiding t, the number of roo'iey unit in the land.
