Spee be tee nnnerees Important Decision of .Chief Justice Chase— The Eligibility of Virginia State Officers Sustained—Judge Underwood’s Decision Reversed. . RicuMonD, May 10, 1869, Chief Justice Chase this morning delivered an opinion on an appeal from Judge Underwood's deci- sion in the District Court, declaring null a sentence of Judge Sheffy, of the State Court, on the ground of Sheffy’s wneligibility under the fourteenth amend- ment. The case was that of Cwsar Griffin, a negro, who was sentenced to the Penitentiary for shooting aman. The Chief Justice read the opinion of the Court, holding that, as the State government in Virgi- nia had been recognized all durmg the war by Con- gress, first at Wheeling, and nextat Alexandrta, the action of the government tn dividing the State had been recognized by the federal government, and Sen- atorsand in rier geoviee elected by that government bad been allowed seats in Congress. It was under this poveznment that Sheffey bad been appointed, and he was therefore a legal judge as far as the State government was concerned. The question now came up whether, being ineligibie, he was abso- lutely removed by the operation of the fourteenth amendment, The United States District Judge had decided that he was, but in the exanunation of ques- tions of this sort great attention is properly paid to the argument of inconvenience, and a construction which must necessarily occasion great public and private mischief must never be preferred to a construction which will occasion neither in so great a degree, unless the terms of the instrument absolutely require such preference. The optpion here shows the anarchy wuica would be produced in a State by declaring past legal proceedings void, It then considers the character and intent of the third section of the four- teenth amendment, which are declared to be punt- tive. Ibis cl ry against the provisions of the con- stitution which deny to the legislative authority the power to deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or to pass ex post facto laws; and these, if there were no other grounds, are reasons for seeking another interpreta- tion of the amendment than that asked by the pre- vious counsel. The fourteenth amendment is not seli-enforcing, and needs further legislation of Con- gress to enforce it; and two months after the judg- ment now being revised was delivered, Congress passed a joint resolution providing for the removal Of all ineligible oficers, showing that persons then hoiding office were held to be de facto oflicera, and also providing the means for their removal by tne mihtary. The Court said the Supreme Court had unanimously concurred in the opinion that a pris- oner sentenced by @ judge de Jacto, though not a judge de jure, could not be reached by habeas cor- pus. The decision of the District Court was reversed and Cesar Grifin was remanded to the State author 1 ies. In the United States Circuit Court this morning Jeter Phillips, to be hung next Friday, upon a writ of habeas corpus was remanded to the State author- ities, on the ground that he was sentencea betore the fourteenth amendment was prom uigated.

TROTTING AT THE FASHION COURSE, The Wagon Race Between Lady Thorn and American Girl—Lady Thora the Winner. ‘The fine weather of yesterday, together with the inducements offered at the Fashion Course of a trot between Lady Thorn and American Girl, led thou- sands to pay a visit to Long Island. Atan early hour the roads leading to the track were crowded with every description of vehicie, and the dust arising was almost suffocating to their occupants, Those who went by railroad from Hunter's Point had rather a pleasant time of it, so far as the dust “was concerned; but their journey from the depot to the track was not quite so agreeable under the rays of a bright May day sun. The number of arrivals at the track continued to increase so rapidly that by the time the horses were ready to start there could not have been less than several thousand spec- tators, including many ladies, on the ground, The race aunounced to take place was a wagon race, mile heats, best three in five, between Laay Thorn and American Girl, the match being for 2,000, ‘Two matches, it will be remembered, had been made between these two mares, one in harness, the other to wagon. The first match was trotted last Tuesday, and won by Lady Thorn, who also won yesterday. Matches are seidom made to come off early in the season, a8 horses can rarely be got in condition at short nutice for speedy and protracted races, This is particularly the case with such animais as have | had proper wintering. In this connection we may ; #ay that Lady Thorn has not had enough work, while American Girl has had a great deal too much, as her appearance indicates that she has been in training all winter, and that she has had no let-np at all. Lady Thorn is still gross in appearance, and by no means presents a hardened aspect. American Girl, on te contrary, is very thin and tucked up in the flanks, and although possessed of great speed has not suficient energy and strength to make that speed available in a race with such a competitor as Lady Thorn. American Girl isby no means fit to commence @ campaign in her present condition, and would be vastly improved by a run at grasa for a month or two, This luxury, however, she will not be permitted to enjoy, on account of the numerous engagements which she must full. Lady Thorn has fewer engagement s, and proven will not be overtaxed, as Ler next race will not take piace until she meets Mountain toy at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, in the latter part of this month, after which, it is rumored, both will go on a starring tour throughout the country. THE BETTING. ‘When business was opened by the pooi seller yes- terday it was imi jiately apparent that Lady ‘Thorn was a great favorite, as the selling was about taree to one on her, or it might be a little better, and this was the situation until alter the first heat, when it became so evident that Lady Thorn must win, that ate & = eg <a takers. The friends of American wel rtened when she did not come up 17 npc ry time of Friday Morning, Wien she trotted in 2:25), and lost their confidence in her so entirely as to refuse pas their money at any odds. The change of rivers after the second heat did not alter the situa- tion of affairs so far as betting was concerned, it being deemed next to an impossibility that she e win by any effort of artistic skill, Their tin- pressions Were correct, for although ably driven in the las} beat by Mr. Rodin, she was unable to con- tinue th le until the finish. Notwithstanding the pre! of Mr. Lovell for Mr. Manee, his trainer and driver, it was the opinion of competent judges who witnessed the race yesterday, as well ag the previous one, the training an riving of American Girl is not Mderstood by the person who has her in charge, and that a different course of pro- cedure must be adopted with her if her owner hi to be successful in his en, lenis this season. betting men will not feel disposed to risk mu money on her tn future should the present state of things continue to exist. The track was in admirable condition for fast time. It had been well prepared aud nothing was wanting to procure such a result but the lack of the usual speed of the horses engaged i the contest.

American Girl was urged so much, without being allowed time to settle, that she broke up twice on her way to the score, Lady Thorn won the heat easily by three /engths in 2:30. The result of the heat was not unexpected, but the time made by American Girl, after all that had been promul- of her wonderful speed, causea grees 9- ion among the multitude, and some loud optnions were freely uttered against both owner and driver of the mare. It was evident that all the time bets of fast heats wore lost, and all sorts of long odds were offered on Lady Thorn, 100 to 10 ing a in many instances. At the end of eat of the mares seemed the least distressed, and Pa See as iresh as could be desired when led up for the ‘ Heat.—American Girt had the best of the sendoff by nearly a cog this time, and Pfifer made no effort to prevent Manee from peeing Be pole, As he went to the turn he pulled Thorn ‘and let American Girl take the inside and the lead by a couple of lengths. American Girl opened the gap to three lengths and then broke AY but recover- ing quickly was two lengths and @ balf in froot at the quarter pole, In thirty-seven nds. Lady ‘Thorn dropped of on the backstretch and seemed notina g humor. She firted ber tall several times in Pfiter's face, and not in the least inclined to extend hereelf, At the half-mile pole Th ny a to sharpen inte the Flushing end, American Girl was five lengths ahead. Time, 1:13, Going into the Fiushing end American Girl looked very much like a winner of the heat, for it seemed almost impossible for Lady ‘Thorn to over- take her with the lead she had. This feeling, however, Wai of short duration, as before American Girl was half way through the lower turn she broke up and jumped and bounced until Lady Thorn had reached her head, and in a moment afterwards was leading @ length. American Gir: came after her rapidiy, and reached Thorn's wheel when about midway of the homestretch, but she waa not trotting squarely, nor had she been so since sie entered the stretch, and was waiting for 4 chance to break at every step she took. Being urged a little more she broke, and her chances for wining were ail gone,. Lady Thorn came over the score a winner by over a length. ‘ume of the heat, . The owner of American Girl now began looking about for another driver, a8 he did after two heats had been lost in the race of the week previous, and he 800n found a capable driver, one ready and willing to try the experiment, although it was now evident that ali chance of American Gir! winning was next to Impossible. However, M. Rodin was willing to make the attempt to satisfy the people. Third Heat,—American Girl had the best of the start, but Pfifer sent the old mare from the score at a rapid rate and was soon on even terms with Ameri- can Girl, and they went head and head around the turn until American Girl broke up. Rodin caugnt her in an instant, not allowing Lady Thorn to get clear of her, and she was only half a length ahead at the quarter pole, in thirty-sevea seconds. Turn- ing into the backstretch Lady Thorn got a little far- ther in front, the head of the young mare being at her fore whee! for a short time. Then the latter seine, finch by inch, until she was parallel with ‘horn, and at the half-mile pole showed her head in front. The race was now highly exciting and as fine as could be. American Girl at this moment seemed to be trotting very steadily, but tn an instant afterward she broke; but, as before, she was caught after a jump, losing only half a length. Thorn passed the haif-mile pole half @ length in front, in 1:14, Going ito the Flushing end American Giri trotted up to Thorn's head, and they had a neck and neck struggle for 200 yards. Then American Girl showed her head and neck in front, and when they passed the three- quarter pole they were as even as could be. Coming on the homestretch American Girl broke up again and lost a length, which she was never afterwards able to recover, and Lady Thorn beat her to wie Score by about that distance.

WASHINGTON. Reports from the Provisional Authorities in Cuba. IN THE CUBAN ARMY. Measures for Their Protection Against Valmaseda’s Late Order. Muddle Among the Indian Agents. Civil and Military Appointees to the Same Agencies. -_e WASHINGTON, May 10, 1869, Trouble Anticipated with Cuban Authorities. It ig thought that the infamous proclamation Issued on the 4th of April by Count Valmaseda, the Spanish commander in the Eastern Department of Cuba, will, if carried gut, lead to trouble between Spain and the United states. It provides that every man from the age of fifteen and upward who may be found ab- sent from his home and cannot give a justifiable rea- son for having so absented himseif will be shot, The proclamation is regarded in oMcia! circles here as one of the most infamous ever issued by @ com- mander having any pretensions to civilization, As there are many American citizens in that part of Cuba it is feared that an indiscriminate execution of the proclamation may result in the shooting of some of them. Should any American citizen be shot under this decree our gov- ernment willbe prompt tn punishing the outrage, and itis understood that instructions to this effect have been sent Adwiral Hoff since the prociamation was issued. Situation of Affairs in Cuba—Americans in the Patriot Army. ‘The government to-day received advices direct from the insurrectionary portion of Cuba, giving in- formation as to the movements in that quarter. Par- ties here in the interest of the Cubans state there are now in the Cuban army 26,000 men, 2,500 of whom are Americans, and that about 3,000 of the latter nationality will soon be added to the number, It 18 said by the representatives of the revolutionary army of Cuba in Washington that success would be placed beyond a doubt if the United Staves would recognize the belligerent rights of those who are striving to effect the independence of Cuba, and in that case the men and money already promised would be fur- nished in abundance . St. Domingo Anxious for Annexation—Unsup- ported Rumors of Goid Discoveries. Mr. Fabens, the confidential agent of the St, Do- mingo government, recently had an interview with Secretary Fish. The subject of annexation will re- ceive oMicial consideration at an carly day. The parties interested in the annexation movement fur- nish an extract of a letter from Professor Gabb, who says he has prospected 200 square miles of gold- bearing territory surpassing in richness any known portion of California and Australia, Complication of Affairs in the Indian Bureau. “The new arrangement agreed upon by the Presi- dent of detailing army officers to act as Indian agents and superintendents of Indian affairs 13 creating some unpleasant complications. Several parties who were nominated by the President him- self and confirmed by the Senate for these positions find themse!ves out in the cold under the new order of things. Colonel George R. Maxwell, of Michigan, was appointed, at the instance of old Zach Chandler, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for New Mexico, and was promptly confirmed by the Senate. He filed his bonds, qualified and left for his home in Michigan to arrange his private affairs prior to his departure for his new fleld of duty. Returning here he discovered that his place has been filled by an army oMicer. Zach Chandler, who is nowhere, is in a high state of rage at the action of the President. Major L. L. Blake, appointed agent for the Blackfeet Indians, ts in the same fix, as are also several others, There is a good deal of hard swearing added to the usual amount of grum- bling, but there seems to be no remedy.

While there i880 much concern among the office seekers to obtain the loaves and fishes in the gift of the government itis rather refreshing to find that some ofMces are “going @ begging.’ This is the case with two United States Atvorneyships at the present time. The Attorney General has two com- missions which cannot be delivered because the whereabouts of the appointees is notknown. One is for Heury M. Blake, Attorney for the district of Mon- tana, and the other is for Joseph W. Huston, of Micht- gan, Attorney for the district of Idaho. The New Chief Detective of the Treasury Bureau.

AMERICANS New York Swindlers. United States Treasurer Spinner hag received @ circular signed Gumbridge & Co., 69 Wail street, New York, which, among other marvellous things, proposes to send out $200 of exact copies of the genuine United States Treasury notes, executed by the most skilled men in the art outside of the State Prison, for fifteen dollars in greenbacks; $500 for thirty dollars in greenbacks, and so on to $2,000 of these exact coptes for eighty dollars in greenbacks, The circular was sent to General Spinner by certain parties who were victimized, who demand re- dress, He has written @ letter to Superin+ tendent of Police Kennedy, enclosing ® copy of this swindling circular and requesting him if there are any laws of the State of New York that take cognizance of the offence to enforce them against the firm of Gumbridge & Co., of No, 69 Wall street. To the parties who have been victimized ‘Treasurer Spinner repties, good naturedly, that they should have known they would be stuck in dealing with a firm by the name of Gum-bridge & Co. The Purchase of Five-Twenty Bonds. It seems that the object Secretary Boutweil has in view in purchasti miilion of dollars of five-twenty bonds every week (s not to establish a sinking fund for the payment of the public debt, as was at first sap- posed, The only object appears to be the saving to the governinent of the interest onthe bonds, In cage it may be found necessary it 1s understood that the bonds purchased will be again sold. Increased Receipts of the Treasury. The receipts from tnternai revenue sources for the present month have been comparatively heavy, ave- raging about a half @ million per day. The receipts also continue heavy, and the indica Tevenue from that branch of the service for the present month are good, The coin balance in the Treasury is now quite §87,000,000, which ts increased $20,000,000 by coin certificates. Resignation of Government Depositorios. Since the business of accepting the resignations of such national banks as desire to surrender the privi- lege of acting as government depositories has beeen taken in hand by the Secretary of the Treas- ury Wt le obsesved that vory few banks suoceod in withdrawing thetr securities. It {s said that the department does not favor the retirement 01 de- signated depositories, since they no sooner obtain ; Possession of their securities than they are thrown Upon the market. The First National Bank of Bur- lington, Iowa, has applied to resign as a depository, and its resignation will be accepted a8 5000 as its accounts are balanced, Chauges in the Government Printing Office. A large number of the employes of the govern- ment printing office have been dismissed.

Mason was the original inventor and reduced we article to practice. DELICACIES OF THE SEASON. Spring Luxuries—Vegetables from Bermuda and the South—Fish, Flesh and Fowl—An Appetizing Array—Prices in Fulton and Washington Markete—Luscious Strawber- ries—Temptations to the Epicure. The escalent luxuries that are spread in such tempting profusion in the stalls of Washington and Fulton markets are enough to warm the heart of an epicure, and give him abundant cause to thank a bounteous Providence which has supplied “the kindly fruits of tne earth’’ with such a lavish hand, ‘The individual must Indeed be insensate who could pass by unmoved that appetizing array of early aeli- cacies. How suggestive to the mind of the inteili- gent and appreciative lover of good things are those plump little spheres—aweet as sugar, brilliant in their emeraia pods and ripe to bursting—of that sub- lime dish, lamb and mint sauce, which with its appropriate accompaniment of peas might have furnished Epicurus the theme of a poetic fight, ‘Then the asparagus! It would be dificult to say whether it ought to rank with the peas; but one could easily Decide without great wrong to either, It is much better to have both than neither. Summer cabbages, Bermuda potatoes, Bermuda onions, spinach, lettuce, Boston cucumbers (toma- toes are rather scarce as yet), parsiey, leeks, shallots, string beans, water-cresses, radishes, all these are in season, and all have a delightful air of country freshness and a pleasant odor of mother earth that 1s quite refreshing, apart from the agreeably pro- phetic thoughts which a knowledge of their excellent qualities suggests to one whose plethoric purse affords him the comfortable assurance that he may reduce these agreeable visions to actual experience. But what woula be these vegetable tuxuries with- out their appropriate accompa niments—tish, flesh and fowl? Vegetables are undoubtedly necessary elements of mene living, but after all they are only secondary. Your vegetarian philosophers like Syi- vester Graham and his disciple Horace Greeiey may sing the praises of bran and vegetables as they will, but every schoolboy knows that ‘you cannot get blood out of aturnip.”” Benjamin Franklin tried vegetarianism for awhile, but soon returned to his mutton with a vengeance, for he became so ravenous by abstinence that he eat a whole leg of it at one sitting. ‘The following stanzas of some carnivorous hu- morist seem apropos:— There was Graham, « patron of He whose Christian name was He was pale, alight and dry—quite a grav; ‘Was this fanatic roast beef detesier. He delighted in biscuit, he doated on rice, ‘And all meats did forever aside throw And averred that carnivorous tastes were a In the midst of his triamphs died though. Imprimis, then, a word about fish. Salmon is to be had now in Fulton Market for from 75 cents to $1 per pound. Also brook trout from Long Island at the same price. The saimon is from the Kenne- bec, Maine. He and his compeer the trout, par nodule sratrum, are the best fish in the market, and in the very primest condition. There are some brook trout at a stall in Fulton Market that would make a bon vivant’s eyes “like stars start from their spheres; beauties they are, that look as fresh as if just taken from the stream, and the brilliant spots on their silvery sides are as vivid as when they made the angler’s line whistle with Sudden tension and his reel spin faster than a fly-wheel under a full pressure of steam. ‘The fresh mackerel are in splendid condition now and look tempting enough with thetr livid biack stripes on @ white silver ground. And then the Connecticut river shad, what lengrags is adequate to describe the surpassing favor of this noble fish? People who form their ideas of the flavor of this fish from the specimens caught in the Delaware and the North rivers, have no conception of what shad is. The finny monarch of the Connecticut as much surpasses his brother of the North or Delaware rivers in flavor as he does im size and beauty. To compare the two ts to liken Hyperton to a Satyr. From 50 to 60 cents apiece is about the average for this kind of shad. Sea bass are just beginning to come into market from Seconnet and Newport. They are worth au average of 16 cents a pound, ‘There are some fine large black Osh in market just now worth from 12 to 15 cents a pound. Green turtie is Se'ling at from 15 to 25 cents a pound. Now for flesh, The most succulent and juicy in the market just now is spring lamb, the best of which comes from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Lambs average about $10 a piece and $3 ope in the Fulton Market, and range from $7 to $12 a piece and $2 to $4. quarter, in the Washington Market. The prives in the two markets for this kind of meat do not seem to differ much. The prices of veal vary very much, ranging from 15 to 18 and 19 cents a pound, Beef and mutton, not being delicacies of any par- washes and bran— ylvester: ” tioular season, it is unnecessary to speak of them.
