Tho following docision_was rondered by tho Bupremo Court to-day : Brigham Young, Trus- teo in trust of the Church of Jesus OChrist, Lnttor-Day Bnints, vorsus Godbe ; orror to Bu- prome Court for Utab. In this case, Godbe had an nccount against tho Deserot Navigation and Oanal Cnmpnny and bolluviu% that Young, in Lis capacity of rustoe of tho Church, also rop- rosonted thio NAvlqlMon Company, ho progonted o bill to him a8 Trustce. youufi Tofuged pay- ment, claiming that, although ho had the man- agement of tho Company, it was in no way con- nootod with tho Chureh, On the trial, the maln quostion was whothor the Church aud Company woro one or soparato things, and a witnoss was put upon tho stand who tostified that whilo olork in & mercantile houso he remombored to hove hoard a follow-clork say that upon presen- tation to Young of a similar bill Lo paid it by giving credit on tho tithing acoount.

Tho renson for the postponoment by the Su- prome Court to-day, of tho application of tho couusel for Warmoth for the allowance of- an appeal from tho decision of Judgo Durell in the Louisiana caso, was that tho Court had nothin, but the ngplh!nllnn boforo it, and thereforo coul not act, Counsel way granted leavo to filo record and othor papors in the caso proliminary to its considoration, Bovoral eminent lawyers practis- ing boforo the trial, are of opinion that tho Su- promo Court will not ot immodiatoly upon tho Bubjoct at the fall torm, to which it has adjourn- ed, but will dolny in order to give Congress an- other opportuuity to act upon the enbject of tho Touisiana complications, as a political question, thus removing it from judicial review.
