In the mur der case of Chas. F. Knug, plaintiff in error againat the stale of Missiouri. the United States Supreme Court to day, by a majority of one. reversed the judg ment of the Supreme Court ef Missouri, and remanded the case for further pro ceedings. Kring has been tried seven times tor the same murder and is by this decision flually 'released: from the sentence of death, which has been three times imposed. A decision was also rendered In the bond case of the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah, Ga. against Eugene Kel ley, which was a suit to enforce a guar antee of the city endorsed upon a series of the bonds of the Savannah, Al bany and Gulf Railroad, issued in 1859. The court bolds that the act of the State Legislature of 1838 authorized the guarantee made by the rity of Savan nah upon the bonds of the railroad company, and that it constitutes a valid and subsisting liability. The judgment of the Circuit court is therefore af firmed. The Chief Justice announced to the bar this afternoon that the United States Supreme court would discontinue the hearing of arguments April 27tb, and would adjourn for the term May 7th. ' The opinion of the Attorney General on the subject of the President's powers in regard to filling the postoffice depart ment is in effect that the President can make a temporary designation for ten days only, but the Attorney General further holds, however, that the. First Assistant Post mar ter General can law fully act as Postmaster General for ten days without such designation. By this construction of the law1 the President is allowed twenty days from the date of the creation of the vacancy within which to make the appointment. The President will probably leave this city Wednesday morning next for Florida, and it is stated at the White House that no appointment will be made until after his return. A decision was also rendered by the court today in the tax case of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Company against the United States brought here upon a writ of error from the United States circuit court for the Western District of Tennessee.' This was a suit instituted by the United States to recover taxes alleged to be due from the company under the reve nue 'acts of 1862. 64 and 66. on account of interest coupons and dividends paid Detween July 1st, 1862, and January 1, i860. 1 Th's court h11s: 1st, That it was not a valid defence for the company to show that its income during the time specified came from property which was within Confederate territory. The property, although within the Confed erate lines belonged to the company, and the income ; derived from its use was actually paid out by the company in dividends to the stockholders and to discharge the corporate debts for inter est, and was therefore liable to tax. It would have been proper for the court below to direct the verdict for the United States, which was given in this branch of the case. - 2nd. Where it appears as in the sec ond branch of this - case that at the end of the civil war during which the interest has fallen ! in arrears and the earnings have been substantially uspended the company in reorganising its affairs for future , business either funds its past due coupons in a new is sue of bonds or pays them from the proceeds of sales of new bonds, such facts constitute a complete defence to the suit for the recovery of the tax charged on such payments of interest. 3rd. The compromise made between the U. S. and Co. in 180 was. as shown by the papers in evidence, confined to claims of the United States for taxes and penalties, growing out of interest. whic,h matured between May, I860, and July. 1869. The judgment of the Cir cuit court is reversed, and the cause re manded for such further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion of this court as lust ice may require. Opin ion by Chief Justice Waite. A decision was also rendered to-day in another case affecting this railroad, viz.: Memphis and Charleston railroad company against the State of Alabama ror tne use oz j season county. 'X nis was an action brought by the State in one of its courts against the railroad company, whose road passed through its limits, to recover the am.auqt or the county tax assessed upon the road's property. The question raised here is whether the suit was removable from the State to the Federal courts, on the ground that the railroad was a corporation of Tennessee. This? court bolds that the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Co. is made by the statutes of Alabama an Alabama corporation,' and although ftreviously incorporated in Tennessee t cannot remove into the circuit courts of the United States a suit brought against it In Alabama by citizens of Alabama.' The decree of the circuit courtis affirmed. Opinion by Justice Gray. A Traia Collides Wita a Rock.

'The First Presbytery of the A. R. P. Syaod of the Soathla BpriagBessioa A Fall Meetlag la a Spirit for Basl- The First Presbytery of the Asso ciate Reformed Presbyterian Synod of the South met, according . to adjourn ment, in the church of that denomina tion in this city yesterday, at 10 o'clock a. m. The opening sermon was preached by the retiring moderator. Rev. R Q. Miller, of Fairfield county. S. CVwho selected as the basis of his discourse, L CorO Chapj verse : "For we axe laborers together with God." The sermon was an excellent one and was well received. After the roll had been called, it was found that' twenty- one ministers and the same number of eldera were present. "Only one minis ter in the entire Presbytery was absent, and that one by reason of . severe ill ness. The election of a moderator for the present meeting resulted in the choice of Rev. Ribt. Lathau, of York- viile, S. C who at once took upon him self the duties of chairman. Rev. John E. Pressley, D. D, the stated clerk of the body, was at his post -with his characteristic promptness. j AfterThe Presbytery had been con stituted with prayer, the members came down to business. In the read ing of the minutes of the previous meetings, it appeared that since the last regular session, two; special meetings of the Presbytery had been held: one at Steele Creek Church in this county, for the ordination and installation of Rev. Chas. E. McDonald, as pastor of that church; the other at Chester, S. C for the installation of Rev. Mason W.- Pressley as pastor of the church in that place. First in the order ef business, came the congrega tional reports and sessional records, both of which were referred to appro priate committees. Mr. W. M. PI ax i co, a theological stu dent under the care of Presbytery, was admitted to trials for licensure. On motion, it was agreed that Presbytery proceed at once to hear .a lecture from Mr. Plaxico, as a specimea of progress, and that his sermon' be heard at 7.30 j m. in the evening session, with a view to his licensure to preach the Gospel. Rv. E. E Pressley jof LxncasterjS. C, presented a petition fjr leave to demit a part of his pastoral charge, which was referred to a special committee consist ing of Reva. John Hunter. E E Bojce and Elder Wm McGill. This commit tee afterwards reported in favor of de mission. Before taking the evening recess, it was decided by vote that the next meet ing of the Presbytery be held " at Elk Shoals church, Alexander county, N C about 14 miles west of States ville. It was also decided - that the hours of the present meeting be regulated as fol lows: Meet at 950 a. m, and sit till 2 p. m. ; reassemble at 7 30 p. m. and hold a night session of reasonabljf length. 1 At the night session held last even ing, the Presbytery heard a trial ser mon from their student Mr. W. M. Piaxicoon the, text: ''For I say unto you, that except your righteousness ex ceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom cf heaven" Matt. 5:20. The diacouse was an excellent one and was delivered with great power. After this exercise, the Presbytery took under consideration the matter of con gregational assessments, but adjourned at 10 o'clock last nlht without taking any definite action. The subject will probably be well ventilated to-day. ; A Visit From the BalTaUoa Araar Since his release from jail Rev.

When the grand Jury returned the bill, An derson's counsel, Messrs. Pemberton & Montgomery, Immediately surrendered him and announced their readiness to try. It was then agreed by Solicitor Oiborne and Mr. Robins, who assists in the prosecution-, that the defendant might be balled out upon habeas cor pus, whereupon His Honor . Judge Sbipp JLxed the ball at 810,000, remark log that he did so not because of any opinion of the guilt or innocence of the defends at, that he bad not investigated the ease, but because of Dr. Anderson's ability to give the bond.

Bigger?, formerly sur veyor for this county, had a rongh ex perience in the city Sunday night. While passing by the Richmond & Dan ville freight depot he was met in the darkness by some unknown Individual, who knocked him down and robbed him of his money, amounting to five or six dollars. The blow that felled him was struck over the left eye, and must Have been made with a club or piece of iron, from the appearance of the wound. The skin was laid open to the scalp from the eye straight across to the ear, and all around the eye was a big splotch of black. The ex-coroner has no idea who his assailant was, and it was so dark he could not see whether he was white or black. Assaults and highway robberies are getting to be about as common in the future London as they are in Chicago. Watchiag for aT Thief la Elmwood cemetery. Sometime during the afternoon of last Saturday, before Messrs. Sifford Si Freland had closed their store, a thief made away with a box of their tobacco. The loss was not discovered until Sun day, when Mr. Sifford and Mr. Tom Walker were visiting the cemetery. The keeper of the cemetery called their attention to a box of tobacco which he had found hidden under a cedar tree near the green house, and Mr. Sifford at once recognized it as his property Sunday night the box was placed at the spot where it was found, and Messrs. Sifford & Freland, and police man Irwin put themselves, in ambush to watch, but were not rewarded, for their trouble. At one time when-a colored man appeared walking cau tiously towards the spot, they thought they had him, but they reckoned with out their host, for the darkey evidently came just close enongh to see that the box was still there and then turned away. After watching until about midnight, the men picked up the bait and walked off home with it. contented with having caught the tobacco, but rather disgruntled at the escape of the thief. Vea. Tharab aad Wife. Gen. Tom Thumb will arrive in the city this afternoon at 5 o'clock, on the train from Columbia.

And that there may not be a deficiency of jurors upon any day ef aaid court, the Judge may order the Sheriff to summon a sufficient number of the by-atanders as may. make up the deficiency. In all cases of capital felo nies the special venire ordered by the Judge to be summoned shall De drawn according to the mode set forth in this amendment; should this venire be ex hausted before a jury is selected then a second venire shall be drawn and sum moned In like manner.

For, summoning the special venire the Sheriff shall receive the same fees aa he is allowed by law for sum moning tales jurors. - A Coaveatloa Called For. Xdttors Jouraal-Obaervor. r- .
