The company leaded to the jurisdiction below; but their plea was ‘oi sustained, and they bring the question here, in- misting that the legal entity or person, which exists by force of law, can haye no existence beyond the Nimilt of the State sovereignty wluch brings It futo ie ava enducs it with Its facuities and powers; and itis submitted tat if this be so, “then heir corporation cannot, by possibility, be aa @babitant of Uus «istrict, uniess it cag be showa that it has been incorporated by a law of Congress, he district, Which is got the case. at (he corporation snail be able to ud coutrol it by the ugh that it shall pos a es aud powers within the dis- trict, Which it may exercise by an agent. All this may be done on the theory that I 1s a non-resident, The stockhoMlers and presitent and dtreetors of the corporation cannot hold a corporate mi mg ouiside tue State of Maryiand, whic tj and it ts impossible rbat @ corporation ean be found withia the District which is not as uch capable in f holding within the District inict @ meeting of iis 3 and corporators.

If it Nas the right to hoid property in the District tue right of defending and protecting its property by suit ts but an tucident of the right of ownership, This Was a reargument of the case. No, 156. The United States vs. Klion, and No, 208, Fargoud vs, The United States—Appeals from the ourt of Claims,—The claimants in these cases—as ‘edministrator in No. 156 aad as owner in No. 208— sought to recover the proceeds of certain cotton seized under the captured aud abandoned property act of 1863, In the case of Kuen the judgment was an his favor, the Court of Clatus finding that the tak- Ing of the oath of amnesty by the deceased owner, unuer President Lincoin’s prociamation of pardon {of 1863) to all Who had participated in the revellion, Felieved him of any charge of disloyalty on account of his having become surety on the oficial bonds of two Confederate oficers, one @ quartermaster and ‘Vhe oilicr au assistant commissary. Pargoud’s case Was bot tied on its merits, but dismissed under the Yollowing provision of the act approved July 12, is Claim being founded upon proof of havin taken the amuesiy oath and coming on to be hear aiter the passage of the act:— Thst no pardon or amnesty granted by the President, wheiuer general or special, by prociamation or otherwise, co 0 pardon or amnesty, nor oath ct performed {n pursuauce, or as a condition therest * heretofore offered or put in evidence on bea { of any clatmaxt ja aaid court shail), be used or con- sidered by the Appeliate Court, on appeal from sald court, in Geciding upou ihe claim of said claimant, or any appeal rom, as aDy part of the proof to sustain the claim of the claimant, or to entitle bim to maintain bis action in said Court of Clalms or un appeal there:rom. Motion was mace to dismiss the appeals for the game reason, Which was now argued, together with the question upon tho merits, On behalf of the claimants it is insisted that this proviso of the act ef 1870 18 utterly null and void, for the following reasous:— First—Because Vongreas has not the power to annul and set aside the valid and constitutional executive acts of the President, Second— 1t is ex post facto, in altering the evidence mecessary to convict after the comuission of he alleged offence (ander the act of 1863). Third—Because it isin the the nature of a bill of attainder, or of pains and penalties; and because it deprives the claimant of nis property ‘Without due process of law. Fourth—It 13 void, because It ts a legislative usar- pation of the powers and fuuctions vested by the @onstitution in the judictary. Fifth—Because it is a violation of the faith of the pation, plighted by the President, under the direc- Mon and authority Of a law of Congress. And counsel forthe claimants assert that this ex- traordinary “‘proviso,” relaiing wholiy to Execu- five pardoh and amnesty and judicial proceedings cases thea pending in court, was in no wise germane to the House Appropriation bill, % which it was injudiciously attached a8 a Seuate amendinent (without even @ reier- euce to a cominittee), and was passed shortly after the decision of this Vourt in the case of the United States vs. fadel.ord, at the last term; and it ig an incontestibie fact that the proviso bad sole and direct reference to jdicial action in cases then pending and in proce’s 0: adjudication in court, and was manifestly intended as a legislative overrulmg of the law just deciared i the unanimous decision of this Court In the case of Padelford, And this legigiation, If allowed to stand as a precedent here- after, Will put an end to all ide Ue independence and ‘supremacy of the judiciary as @ co-ordinate branch of the government, and will make Congress the tribunal of dernier resort even within the sphere of tue judicial autnority. ‘the Attorney General coutends that Congress bas full power ever the praceeds of captured and abvan- @oned property and over the question of its restora. tion, and it may provide for such restoration directly from the treasury, from Congress or from ny officer, commission or poard, imcluding the Court of Claims, upon which it may see fit to confer such authority. And it is sald that this is all that Congress has atiempted to do in the fezislation of last summer, It merely enacts that in persons shall not recover such proceeds by judgment of the Court of Claims. These persons are not thereby excluded from tho privilege of an ication for such proceeds direct to Congress, or wo other officer Who may be authorized to act such application. It is also maintained that ameuleutal consequences which the law has attached to & pardon the law-making power may detach therefrom. The Legislature, in its authority over ‘the ruies of eviience, may prevent a person once guity of a aisqualifying offence from being Sunsequentiy, by a pardon, disqualified to ive testimony (Greenleaf on Evidence, section 8 and note, with cases there cited); also the which controls the elective franchise may exclude from the exercise of that franchise ail crim- pny Wo as Well as unpardoned. If there be limit to the above principle it must be found only im this. that those incidents which the common Jaw, at the time of the adoption of the constitution Of the United States, anuexed to a pardon can- not by subseguent ‘legislation be taken awa from a jon authorized by that constl- tution. But whit limitation will not ayatl against the constitutionality of the enactment of duly 12, 1870; for the right to recover proceeds of y's property captured in war was not an effect a bared im 1789, nor was any rigut to sue the ited States in auy Court of Claims.

Two Notorious Thieves Convicted of Rob- bery—A Little Girl Threatened with Death by the Robbers—Kecorder Hackett Sends Each of the Daring Ruffians to the State Prison for Twenty Years. Before Recorder Hackett, The most interesting case tried in this court yes- terday was an indictment against John Wiillamson and Charles Brooks, vicious looking fellows, who were convicted of robbery in the first degree. The testimony was remarkably clear, showlng that the offence was committed under aggravating circum- stances. The main witness for the people was a bright, intelligent little girl of eleven years of ago, Margaret Percell, who said that she resided with her parents at No. 68 Carmine street, where they occupy the entire third floor. On the evening of the ith of April her mother went to char a was accompanied to the street by her father, @ remaining alone in the house, Tho accused Kaocked at the door and asked if Mra. Percell w: lu? ‘Tho little girl, suid, “No; wont you please to leave your name?” “Oh, never mind,” repited Wiitiamson, “I will_be here early in the morning or by and by.” Shortly afver the prisoner returned in company with another man (Gharies Brooks, who was jointly indicted) and suddenly enter the apartments, Whiliamson, a# soon as he entered the door, took the lamp from her, dragged her juvo the frout room and put her in the corner, and pullin; pistol out of his pocket held it close to her head, say- jug, “If you move or make a noise, If you don't stand stil, I'l biow your brains out.’ “The pri- soner held the pistol to her head while the other = man (Brooks) went through her mamma’ uwunk. They stole a velvet cloak worth eighty dollars, the skirt of a areas, gold earrings, sleeve buttons and iittle trinkets, then biew out the light, proceeded to the kitonen, and after remaining about five minutes leit the apart- ments, each carrying @ bundle. As soon as the litue girl thought It safe to leave the house she ran for her papa @nd apprised him of the robbery, aud on the same might he reported the occurrence wt the station house Sarah A. Purcell, the mother of the iittle girl, was tne next witness. She testifed that on this night she (oy about eight o'clock and returned a Little r ten, and found that the spring lateh on the door had been tampered with.

A lawyer stated that his coun sel Was absent participating iu the ovation to Sena- tor Norton, The Recorder facetionsly rephed that he was a good democrat and would have liked to join ip the celebration if he had had no business to attend to, and assigned the partner of the absent legal patriot to look alter Mr. Brooks’ interests and to protect his legal rijchts. The counsellor had sense enough to see that Brooks had net the ghost of a chance, and endeavored to induce him to plead guilty, hoping thereby to get the punishment modified; but the prisoner refused to plead, a d District Attorney Sullivan called aud examined the witness, who testified againat Willa son, andin halt an hour Brooks was pronounced gutity of te heinons crime of robbery.

He did so, and Mr, Delmontco took him to Mr, Devisa’s residence and found that the check was a forgery. Edwards went on the stand and told the old stry—that a man named Price, Who owed him a bill, requested him to go to Del- imontico’s and get the check changed.

The imports of foreign dry goods at this pert for the week end'ng April 20, 1871, amounted to $2,605,032, MONEY EASY. The money market was active early in the day, owing to a general apprehension that the purchas- ers of the four millions of government gold bought yesterday would make quite @ requisition upon their funds at bank to make their payments at the Sub-Treasury, Under these circumstances borrowers pald, as & gene ral thing, seven percent for accommodation on call, AS @ consequence of this early inquiry ac- counts were made up all over the street an hour be- fore the usual time, and the sudden cessation of (ho demand at two o’clock started lenders outin search of borrowers, The first to respond to the offer of money got it at etx per cent, but when this demand had been satisfied the rate became simply nominal, and balances might have beea nad at any Agure the borrower chose to name. On governments therate | was legitimately five to six per cont, but the same pressure to lend was noticed on the part of those who sought government coliaterals for their money, Commercial paper was moderately active and was quoted 6 4 7 per ceut discount for prime names, Foreign exchange was nominally steady at 110 for prime bankers’ sixty-day sterling, but the lead- ing drawers allowed an eighth per cont brokerage trom this rate, while sules of borrowed bills of the same grade were tnade on the street at 109%. Sight bills were worth 11034. GOLD IRREGULAR—111% A 110% A 11144. The Gold Room was the scene of what may be styled a lively speculative debate between the “buils” and “bears.” The latter planted themselves contidently on the policy of ic Secretary of the Treasury so far as indicated vy hia receat con- duct in selling au extra amouit of gold, and in this position freely owt the market down to 110%—or one-half per cent belo w the figure to which the “bulls” had advanced it in the moruing on the argument of the steady drain of gold into the Treasury to pay for duties on im- porta, The “bulls”? derided the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, and jested the ‘bears’ on having him as @ backer to supply them with “calls” against their speculative sales. The ‘bears’? retorted that the- “bulls” oughtu’t to make any more “bluf’’ bids for gold at the Sub-Treasury. ter in the day the “bulls” made a great deal of the reported engage ments of specie for to-morrow’s steamers, the amount being reported as high as $1,170,000, and oc- casioved a reaction to 111%. One curious feature of the gold market of lato ts its reversal of its old characteristics, Formerly, the “bears’’ used to labor might aud main, day after day, perhaps week after week, to get the market down one or two per cent, only to find their work undone oftentimes in an hour by some sudden rea- son for arise, But nowadays the “bulls” lift it and prop it ana hold it up for a time, by the exercise of a great deal of effort, unly to havo it fall about their ears ina twinkling whenever “the shipments” or something else goes wrong, AS a gentleman from Exchange place was heard to remark this morning, when the slip with the specie engagements was passing from hand to hand— » those ship- ments are ausgesptelt."” ‘The supply of cash gold was also irregular and borrowers for delivery on speculative account were at one time on the anxious seat, while at anotner time the holders of gold were concerned to piace their balances. The course of the market is shown in the table:— In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 8 per cent for carrying to 2 per cent for borrowing. ‘The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared, Gold balances.

STOCKS HIGHER AND RAMPANT. The “pulls” are beginning now to ve as incapable of Seeing the top of prices as were the ‘bears’? last winter to see the bottom. The speculation in the stock market to-day was strongly excited, and led to a further remarkable advance tn prices, despite the high figures woich had been already attained. As usual on Fridays, when a great deal of regular stock is sold in order that deliveries may be made on Saturday and accounts for the week all closed out by Saturday night, the early buoyancy was arrested by tuls movement and about noon prices were only steady under the neutraliza- tion of orders to buy and sell, Exceptionally Lake Shore had run up from 10934 to 11174, but went back to 1105 under the realizations referred to, The de- mand for stock was, however, greater than the sup- ply thus afforded, ana wher, toward the close of banking hours money was found go easy, the specu- lation burst into a furor and almost ran wild. Several stocks long reckoned ‘asleep’ were brought ito the exciting arena of the Long Room and given a rise of several per cent. In fact the speculative appetite is so thoroughly aroused that the buyer of a stock who doesn’t get a profit of one or two per cent in as many hours 1s discontented with his ii-luck and ready to throw it aside for one more lively. For tnis reason Lake Shore has kept the leadership so far im the race to higher prices. The new features to-day were chiefly | the St. Paul stocks, Union Pacific, Read- ing, Rock Island and New York Central. | In these and in Lake Shore, Wabash and North- west common the highest prices of the season were reached, Western Union Telegraph and Ohio and Mississippi seem to be discarded favorites, and were heavy and lower, Nor has the buoyancy of prices been confined to the share market alone, for the hitherto steady and respectable Central Pacific | first mortgage bonds, which a few weeks ago wero | fs selling at 95, advanced to 10244, the Union Pacific first mortgages closing 90 a 903;, their sudden improvement being attributed to the fact that the former have been placed on the list at the Berun Stock Exchange, and the latter on the list in Lon- don.
