SUPREME CourT.—Yesterday, in the Supreme Court of the United States, the case of Cairington vs. Eastwood was decided in favoy of the latter. In this case the question was whether Carrington was to be neid responsi- ble fora pote, Or the property by which it was secured. Carrington claimed that the property alone was responsible.

JupGE EDMUNDS, Secretary of the Con- gressional Republican Committee, on being asked to day what political news he had, said: “I have nothing but good news; we are going to win.” He said further that the letter purporting to have been written to bim from the National Republican Com- mittee in New York could not have been addressed to him. becaure bis duties are con- fined to distributing documents. He has no power to send speakers to, or expend money ip, @py state—that is the business of the — Republican Committee in New ork. THE Last WEEK OF THE CAMPAIGN.— The national election which takes place one week fiom to-day is about the only topic discussed. There are ali kinds of specula- ons as to the general result and the results in the various states. The republicans are hopeful without being over confident, while the democrats are exceedingly jubilant and enthusiastic, and anticipate a certain vic- tory for thelr candidate. Many of them are evidently wild in their calculatiou of the robabilities, and indulge, for instance, the ope that Charles Francis Adams will pull Massacbasetts through for Tilden, ‘ne campaign committees of both parties in the city @re as hard at work asever. Judge Ed- Mounds does not allow the near approaca of tue end to interfere with the promulgation of political literature, and bis clerks still continne to mail political documents on finance; amnesty, the currency, &c. Mean- while bis antagonist, Harvey, is also up and doing, and democracy is supplied with the choicest cullings of opinions, remarks and deductions of its most eminent expo- nents. Both Judge Edmunds and Mr. Har vey are confident. The former is confident of Kar fe New York for Hayes, arrange- ments having been ‘ted to check the fraudulent votes which will be attempted to be cast in thecity.

The Obelisk and the Washington Mopan Edilor Star:—The public have been iu- formed by the notices in the papers that a well-Enown architect of this city recently addreased an association of architects in Philadelphia on the subject of our national memorial, condemning the proposed plan, and asserting that the Egyptian obelisk was pot atrne monument.

Arch:eologists and other Jearned men know that the Egyptian obelisk is @ decided commemorative monu- ment, and the earilest established form of a true monument. The antiquity of the old- e-t is unkown, but supposed to have been derived from the memorial stones erected by primitive map, to tuate the memory of remerkable events. The simple, graceful and beautiful forms of those effective mono lithal memor‘als, ever excited the admira- tion of all who beheld them. The Roman emperors were £0 struck with their impos- ing beauty that, at extraordinary expense, and with great labor, they transported a great many of ibem to adcra imperial Rome and other tmportant places. ‘Tae French, who are @ nation of high art taste, bad oue conveyed to Paris, where go presen d aspires Heavenward, to excite the admiration of all who may contemplate its simple beauty and mysterious legends. Though waay were erected by the Egyptians in various positions as metoriai stones, yet pairs of them were —— erected in iront of ube portals of temples and palaces. They were inscribed with incised records, of loring and gilding, some cf which stili remain—perpetuating the achievements of noble ‘sopages, their lineage, <c., aad dedicatory passages, and were consecrated With imposing reiigious ceremonies. Whilst the massive piles of temples and palaces have yielded slowly to the corrosive effec:s of the ages of elementary action, those sleu- der monuments by them yet proudly stand unscathed, true to the inient of those wuo reared them, and of their records.

EDWARD 8. Stokgs seemed immensely Pleased when he was awakened yesterday morning. He realized that he was nota convict, and said: “I owe the state no ser- vice.” His first thought was that he should call upon Commodore Vanderbilt and thank bim for the kindneas that the railroad mon- arch lavishly bestowed uj him. The dying railroad king extended his hand and said: «-Ed., am really glad to see you out of prisop.

TAE SERVIAN PANIC. The London Standards dispatch from Deli- grad reports that the Turks captured ten cannon and a@ large quantity of muskets and ammunition in the battle at Djanis. The same paper's special from ade does not single out the artillery as the most promt- nent in defection on that occasioa, but states that the Servian army, which was reduced to such & condition that the men were hard. Jy able to crawl, cpenly declared it would fight no longer, and abandoned its positions enmasse. Tebernayeff telegraphed to Prince Muan imploring him to come and prevent the army crumbling entirely to pieces. The Prinee conferred with M. Kartzof five Umes during the night. It is ing ible to make a stand at Cuprija. At Deligrad, Ra- japj and Par&@tchio and all along the road the wildest confusion prevails.
