J - Washington, April 24. The South Carolina tax cases were passed upon by- th.a Supreme court o' the United States to-day, the opinion being de livered by Chief Justice Fuller, 1$ came up" on a petition of Sheriff Tyler, of Aiken county, for a writ of habeas corpus to release him from imprisonment under the judgment of the Circuit court of the United States that he be fined $500 for contempt. He had seized a train on the South Carolina rail road upon a warrant issued by the State authorities for the collection of taxes, j which were in controversy. The road was in the hands of the receiver ap pointed by the United States court, and he was adjudged guilty of contempt for j failing to release the property under order of the court. He came to the Su preme court for relief. Justice Fuller read an opinion containing much strong er language than is usually found in such documents, denying the applica sion of the petitioner for a writ. He said the seizure of property by force was unjustifiable and cwld not be defended. Th claims of the State fo taxes are not superior to the general rule which makes Tirnnertv placed in the hands of a re ceiver subject to the orders of the court. - . i i ji 1 They are to oe aeternnnea jn me regular way and in the proper manner. The ac tion of the Circuit court, Chief Jus tice Fuller said, was in no sense an ac tion against the State of South Carolina, which, it was concluded, could not be maintained under the eleventh amend ment to the constitution. In conclusion, he said the Circuit court was equipped with the fullest power tp protect its dig nity and to enforce its mandates and its use of these powers in the case in point could not be reviewed here. Therefore the petition for a writ of habeas corpus was denied. The same judgment was announced in the cases of Sheriffs Riser and Gaines, who came to the.-Su-preme court of the United States with Tyler for relief , TRIBUTES TO THE .LATE JUSTICE LAMAR. Attorney General Olney made his first appearance in the Supreme court of the United States to-day, save on the occa sion of his formal introduction to the court by his predecessor. The occasion that called him out was the presentation of the resolutions recently adopted by the members of--the bar upon the death of the late Justice Lamar. In anticipation of this event, there was an unusually large attendance of attorneys upon the; session of th court, and the visitor's benches were also quite, well filled. At torney General Olney spoke easily and gracefully, and was listened to with in terest, not only for his subject, but for the manner in which he handled it. Attorney General Olney said: "I have been requested, i your Honors please, to present to the court the resolu tha har unon tho occasion of the death of Mr. Justice Lamar. In under taking that duty, J have no nesivauon ,m ihat thfl resolutions, whjch I shall 1. SoT,rtv roaA Art but simple .iustice to iu nharactflr of vour late associate and in no way exaggerate either the great loss of tbe" whole community or the pro found affliction of a very large circle of ir"j a v,n la rices. Under any death of a justice of the court is of prominent importance, mi u v,q orairt rpmaina. an element disappears which bad vitally affected its deliberations and its results, to be suc ceeded by a new one- different, to some extent, in the nature of things, and pos sibly of a wholly diverse character.: Thus, as one departs and another as sumes his place, a new order of things arises, all the more surely because it comes insensibly and almost by stealth, It is a new order of : greatest moment, because of the scope and extent of its ju risdiction and power, as touching on ine one hand the private rights of every one ofthT 60,000.000 of people .and deahng on the other wui ine ' numerous popu u sovereign States. No court like it or even strongly resembling it has ejer gx Ledamonymen. To have sat ; upon such a court without reproach and L witii- A;anaAi waI dll to the fill o,, nfii.-t. ambition, vvitn JUS- tice Lamar has passed away not merely a lawyer and judge, but a notable histori cal figure. It may have been his misfor 11 a," kwver. thoucrh certainly his good fortune as a man, that his lot was cast in tempestuous times in times which, however adyerse to the acquisition Of technical knowledge ard technical j skiu, always develop whatever there is iu a man 01 intellectual and nroral great ness. He was born when the echoes of sectional contest over the admission of Missouri into the Union that issue which startled Jefferson "like a fire bell in the night" were still resounding through the land. He was a mere youth when the Missouri Compromise was suc ceeded by another, and the spectre of disunion was laid for time by the ming led firmneas and moderation of Gen. Jackson. He had hardly entered upon the practice of the law when the North and the South again come into violent collision over the Fugitive Slave law and the extension of slavery into the Terri tories. He went with his section and his State in the civil war that followed only ten years later and supported their course with equal devotion on the battle field and In the forum. Always and un der all circumstances he was a leader, not merely, followed and obeyed, but implicitly trusted and sincerely loved. He continued to lead even more deci sively and on a larger field when arms were laid down, and to him more than any other one man, Norih or South,; is dae the adoption by' both' victors and vanquished of those counsels of moder ation and magnanimity and wisdom which have made the edifice of, our con-1 stitutional union more impregnable to all assaults than ever before. But this eventful and stormy career, these en grossing and exciting occupations and achievements of soldier and statesman and patriot necessarily interrupted and prevented that exclusive devotion to the science of jurisprudence and that con stant familiarity with its practical appli cation in the administration of justice which ' that jealous mistress, the law, inexorably exacts of all her followers.- I do not believe that Justice Lamar ever practiced law as his sole o' chief occupation for any one term of five con secutive years. I am unable to discover that he could have made the practice of law his sole or principal pursuit for more than ten or twelve years" in all, an4 it is the highest possible tribute to his nat ural genius, to his legal instincts and ex traordinary intellectual gifts that, in spite of all the disadvantages under which he labored, Justice Lamar per-A formed ms part as a member of this high court of judicature, not only to the ac ceptance of the btsncU and the bar, but with 6uch intelligent and will directed zeal and devotion that only failing healt'i and strength could have" pre rented his ultimately attaining decided judicial em inence." Chief Justice Fuller responded to the request made by the Attorney General to spread the resolutions upon the record of the court, in a few words in tjehalf of the court, of the earnest tribute to the worth of the dead. 1XR. CLEVELAND ON THE FINANCIAL 'SITU ATION. The Authoritative statement of Mr. Cleveland yesterday, in which he an nounced the present and futur- poiicy of the administration relative to the U3e of the gold reserve has taken the edge 01T tne excitement that followed the act of the Secretarv of the Treasury in dip ping into the reserve fund. If there has been any danger of a hiancnu ilurry, that danger appears now to have passed. UndeMshe interpretation of Mr. Clever- land's statement, the reserve is to be treated simply as so much cash in the treasury, ana whether the aggregate rises or falls aiew million a day becomes a matter of little concern. Conseouentlv. very little interest was manifested tonday at the department in regard to the finan cial situation. Some offers of gold were received from the "Wett and accepted and Treasurer Jordten at New York, it was reported, had also received a considerable" amount fcf gold certificates.. Up to noon the treasui y we.3 not advised as to the extent of gold shipments for to-morrow. Mr. Leach, director 01 the United State? mint, recognized authority on finances, said to-day: "I look upon the statement by the President as plain, for it is an announcement or the determina tion of the administration to maintain gold payments at all hazards and if the supply of gold at the disposal of the treasury should at any time be insuffi cient for the purpose, that the credit of the Government will be used to secure the necessary amount. As such, it will go a long way towards restoring confi dence and averting any financial diffi culty." " MOEE RAILROAD. LANDS OPENED. Secretary Hoke Smith to-day com leied the adjustment of the grant made v the act of June 3d, 1856, for the Mo bile and Girard Uailrpad company. The amount of land confirmed and cernhed to the railroad company is 102,191 acres. The commissioner of the general land Office is directed to cause all lands here tofore certmed on account 01 tne gram and not included in this allotment to be opened to settlement and entry on notice by publication, with privilege to bona fide preemp tors and homestead claimants,- who were m possession unaer sucn ciaun on January 1st, 1880, to make entries of such lands during the period of publica tion. The Jands to be opened to settle meet approximate 3QO;000 acres. Emperor William and the" Pope, Rome, April 24. The official circle here understands that during the interview vesterdav between Pcpe Leo and the rf j : 7 s. German Emperor, the Pope and the Eni- peror discussed the question relating to the position of the Roman Catholic church in Germany and especially the attitude of memDeri oi tne sjpntrs or Clerical party toward the Imperial poiicy, The Emperor's friendly conversation and hj3 valuable gift of a snuff-box:, bearing his portrait surrounded with diamonds, to Cardinal Ledochowski, Prefect- of the ProDasranda. are much commented upon. Cardinal Ledochowsfii represents the Vatica n nartv which favore a 'triple &lr liance as opposed to the policy of Cardi nal Rampalla, Papal Secretary of State, which is French in its tendencies. The meeting is also regarded as marking a fresh step toward tne conciliation oi me Prussians and Poles. Being Tried by Citizens on jan Infa mous Charge.

"Crowds of people gathered on the streets, partic ularly near, the armory, prior to the der parture of the troops. Tbe attitude of some of the ill-advised negroes is sullen. Negro women were heard to say they hoped the soldiers would never come baek. Of course all the white people regret the necessity for the use of troops,: but knew well that- if the mandate of the Supreme court is not enforced law' and order cease.

T ' 1 V ' Government had possession of the lands H , . , -. - I Te&r? and settled negro contrabands thereon. The lands Belonged to the family of Mr, Bryan's wife. In 1865 many other negroes were settled v there. The name James City, was give iri honor of Capt. Horace James, agent of the freedman s bureau. The specific suit was brought as a test by Mr. Bryan against one Spivey. The latter introduced a deed from" Southey B." Hunter',, and other negroes to James Salter dated in 1867 but not recorded until 1893. Hunter testified -that the deed covered the land known as JamesCity and was made because Capt. James'was oppressing the people in the collecl4on of rents. The deed was made after consideration by the people of the town, some of whom held possession by virtue of their possession since- 1862, others by purchase from those who had moved away;' After the deed was made Spivey and the others claimed the land -toder Salter and paid no more rents. The committee sold all the vacant lots to Salter. As an exhibit in the case the deea'-Ven by Hunier and t others was filed as follows . . , .1 i ; ' ; 'This do . certify that we the under signed do agree to bars-am and sell to James Salter and his heirs, for the peo ple of the below named place, to nav the expenses of the said lands.a certain piece of land known as the James City settle- lUBui, MiuaKiu ui uraveH county, oppo site the city qf Newbern, that the United States give - us, who told us not to pay rent to any one. and wht-rpai t.h aairf land was given to us, ?as a committee by 4.1.

The Supreme court at the September term ,1891, decided this "case, in Bryan's favor. . The plaintiff admitted the ad verse possession 6ince 1803, but denied Wti the filajwr Was under eelor' of title. The defend Spivey claimed that he was protected by the adverse possession fpr seven-years, even if the title was in Bryan. The court found the defendants entered without color of title upon the lands in 1S63, and that after the execu tion of the deed hj Hunter and others to Salter in 1857 they occupied the lots In the same manner as before, and that the character of their possession was not thereby clianged. None of the defendants are grantees in the alleged deed nor are they named therein. As the officers of the United States placed these negroes on these lands with out warrant of law and upon land which did not belong to the United States, but did belong Vo a 'private individual, it would seem to be just and equitable to all parties concerned lhat the United States should pay Bryan for the land and give it to the negroes. Cases are frequeht of. dispossession of land holders by reason of 'defective title after many years possession. The case is reported in 109th N. a reports. J By Southern Press. Raleigh, April 24.

Grain aud Provision Markets of Chicago. 'New York; April 24. Stocks opened strong on purchases by operators who felt reassured by the positive statement by President Cleveland that the Govern ment would take every possible means to preserve the parity between gold and sil ver. Buying for long account and to cover Bhort contracts led to an advance of i2J per cent on the closing of Satur day and the rise occurred without in ducing any large offerings. Heavy en gagements of gold shipments to Europe, however, by to-morrow's steamer and activity m money soon led to a reaction, the bears taking advantage of these mat ters to fngnten small noiders. xne de cline from the highest was equal to percent. A break of Hi percent, in American Tobacco contributed to the weakness of the general-market. In the afternoon Lead and Cotton Oil yielded about 2 points.
