Tho Yollowing is the optoton, in whick tne history of | the case is succinctly and foreibiy told :— The plaintiff, a member of the religious incor- ‘povation B’Nai Josnuran, seeks to enjoin the trustees thereof from making certain proposed | Alterations im the synagogue or church edifice Deionging to said corporation.

No. 30. The United States of America, appellant, vs. Tne Steamer Montello, tc.—Appeal from tre t Court for the Eastern district of Wiscon- Justice Davis delivered the opimion of t The question for decision in this case 1s whother the fox River in Wisconsin is a navi- gable water of the United States, This Court hela in the case of the Daniel Ball (10 Wallace) that | those rivers must be regarded as public navigable rivers in law which are navigable in fact; and they are navigabie in fact when they are used or are susceptivie of being used in their ordinary condition ad bighways for commerce, over which trade and travel are or may be con- ducted in the customary modes of trade and travel on water. And a river is a pavigable water of the United States when it forme by itself, or by its conmection with other waters, a continued nigoway over whien commerce is, or Day be, car- rie on- with other States or foreiga countries in the custowury modes in Which such ecommerce is conducted by water. (11 Wallace—the Montelio.) Apply these tests to the case in hand, and we weink the question must be answered tn the affirmative. The Fox River has its source near | Portege City, Wis., aod flows in a@ bortheasterly | | i} + | direetion through Lake Winnebago into Green | | Bay, and thence ioto Lake Michigan, and, by | | mesns of go sbort canal of a mile and i, it is connected at Portage City the Wisconsin River, which em ptios into the Mississipp!. From its source to Ostk 8 the river is frequently spoken of as the “Upper Fox.” From Lake Winnebago to Green Bay it 1s called the “Lower Fox.” There are several rapids and falls on the river, bat the ovstructions Caused vy ihem have beon temoved by artificial Bavigation, #0 that there is now, and has been for sral years, uuintecrapied waier commun on tor steam vessels of considerabse capacity ‘om tae Mississipp! to Lake Michigan aad then St. Lawrence tnrough the Wisconsin a ers; and 6 eamboats have parsed and are antly passing Over these rivers With pus and err destined to points and aces outside of the State of Wisconsin. tig said, bowever, that alsnough the Fox Rav may Bow be con @ highway for commerce over which traio and travel are, or may be, ducted in the ordinary modes of trade and travel on Water, It Was not eo im its natural state, and, | therefore, is not a navigable water of the United | States within the purview uf the decisions ra | ferred to. It is true, Without the improvements by locks, cauais and dams, Fox River, through ita | entire length, could not be gavigated by steam- boats or sali vessels; but it I eqoally true that it formed, in connection with (he Wiscunsin, one of the earliest and most important channels of com- | munication between the Upper Miesiseippt and the | | lakes. It was thig route which Marquette and | Joliet took in i On their voyage to discover | the Mississippi, and the immense fur trade | of the Northwest was carried over it for more than a century. (Parkman's Discovery of | u fr the Great Weat, 62 aad seq.; 3 Bancroft's History of the United States, 156, 157.) Suith, in his | History of Wisconsin (vol. 1, pawe $i), sayr, “At this time (1716) the three great avenues from the St. Lawrence to the Missiasippl were, ome by the way of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, one by tno way of Chieago and one by the way of the Miami of the Jakes, When, alter nang | the portage of eagues over the summit level, @ Bhallow m ied into the Wabash ana Onie,” It is fore apparent that it was one of the high- rred to Im the ordinance o! 1787, aud, ed, among the mdst favored, on account of the short portage petween the two rivers. in More modern times, and since .the settlement of | the country and before the improvements result ing in an Gnbroken navigation Were undertaken, | alarge tnter-State commerce hag been success- fuily carried on through this channel. This was done by means of Durbam boats, which were vessels Irem 70 to 100 feet in length, wito 12 feet beam, aad drew, when loaded, two to two and one-baif foes of Water. These boats, propelled | by animal power, were able to navigate the entire length of Fox Kiver, with the aid of a few port- | ages, and Wouid readlly carry a very considerable | tonnage. In process of time. a8 Wisconsin advanced in Wealth au@ population and had a variety ef pro- ducts to exenange for the commodities of sister | | States and foreign nations, Durham boats were | | found to be imadequate to the wanis of the country, and Congress was appealed to for aid to umgrove the navigation of the river, 0 that steam po¥er could be used. This aia was granted, and | | Since the river was improved commerce 1s car- | ried over it 19 Oneof the usual Ways in which | | commerce # comducied on the water at the pres- | ebaracter of all the rivers leading into the Migsis- sippl and St. Lawrence, and to prevemt a monopoly | of these waters, was the og ig of the ordinance of 1787 declaring them to tree to the public; ana so important was the provision of this ordinance @eemed by Congress that tt was imposed on Wisconsin as a condition of admission into tue Union. Congress, alse, wien the State ‘was eadmitted, made to it a4 grant of Jands, in or- der that the Vox ana Wisconsin mignt be ‘united | by acanal, thelr navigation tmpreved, ana the rivers made, in fact, what nature moant they should be, a great avenue for trade between the Mississippi aud Lake Michigan. The grant was | accepted, the Navigation improved and the canal consiracted. These objects were, Bowever, ac- complished by @ private corporation oharvered | for the purpose, which was silowed to eharge tolls a8 source of profit. The exaction of theso tolls created dissatisfaction outside the Stato, aad Congress, in 1370, in respouse to memorials on the subject of the importance of these rivers as a channe! of cemmerce between the States, passed an act at rizing the general government’ to purchase the property ana alter it was relmbursed tor advances to reduce the toils to tne lowest point which should be ascertained to be sufficient to eperate the works and kee) them ia repair (16 Statates at Large, p. 189), - | though this legisiation was not needed to estab- lish the navigability of these rivers, yet it shows the estimate put by Congress upon them usa me- dium of communication between tie lal the Upper Mississippi. Jt results from these views that steamboats navirating the waters of the Fox River are subject to governmental regu- lation. Decree reversed and cause remanded for further | proceedings 1m conformity with this opinion, | JOHN DEIHAN'S SENTENCE. | Jadge Moore, im the Court of Sessions, yester- Gay semtenced John Deinan to the Penitentiary for the term of seven years for the Kliling of bis wite, Deihan, it will be remembered, finding his wife drunk in her roem in the upper part of the tenement mouse No, 250 Front street, took a pair of heavy cowhide boots and beat her avout the head, face and body with them until she was in- sengsibie, She lingered for nine gays and then died irom the effect of her injuries.

The Cabinet Complications of the Mikado Brought to a Termination. A Powerful Ex-Minister Ei- fectually Humbled. National Progress, with Im- perial Caution. Americans as Indastrial Instructors, Tox10, Jeddo, June 10, 1875, The polltieal situation in the e@apital of Japan continues apparently unchamged, and the weight of uncertainty and anxiety that checked the prog- Tess of public business has not yet been entirely removed; but itis now certain that the ombar- rassments of the government are virtually at an end and that within a few weeks the course of affairs Will be resumed with an enerpy that har Monious co-operation alone could render possi- ble, During the last four months tre admtnistra- tion has been almost iiterally ata standstill. Sev- eral of the most important ef the Cabinet oficer’ have steadily absented the«se!lves from the meet~ ings of the Imperial Oowneil and remained s&0- cluded in their private dwellings. The depart- ments under their control have been left In the bands of subordinates, aud the settlement of transactions of grave consequence has been re- peatedly deferred, until it reemed as if serious calamities must be the inevitable consequence, The causes of this prolonged confusion have been Indicated in previous letters, The sincere effort that was commenced in the beginning of the year to reconeile the past differences and to unite the diverse political factions in @ cordial combina- tion was only partially successful. Certain of the statesmen who had been in retirement for up- | | ward of a year came frankly forward and offered | to resume their share in the conduct of affairs; | but others remained persistently contumacious, | 8nd a great deal of time and pains were devoted to the possibly superfuous labor of endeavoring to convert them. The most prominent of this class was the former Foreign Seere- tary, Soyezima, a man of unquestioned ability, but algo of invincible obstimacy in the maintenance | of his individual views. It would appear that, !n | the present crisis, he alowed himself to be swayed | not only by principles,-but by personal feeling as | well, His enmities are well known, and in the course of the negotiations which were opened | return to office it gradually came to be under- stood that he wonld accept no position except upen condition that he should stand higher than nis rivals, or else, at least, one of them should be altogether excluded from the government. The were conspicuously distinguished for force and capacity, and that they should be seerificed tn order to appease the irritation of one who, though highly esteemed, Was not absolutely indispensa- ble to the public service, was out of the question. A POWERFUL POLITICLAN, BUT DISCONTENED AS AN OFFICIAL. So far as can be seen the stubbornness of Soyezima had gradually the effect of alionating his adherents, and it 1s now oelieved that his sfrongth as a disturbing element In the State has vanished. At any rate the government has de- cided todo without him, He was several times offered opportunities of assaming oMoe, and his best friends admit that the government went far ont of its way to concillate him, It was all un- | availing, and he is now again stranded among barren hopes and broken aspirations. | similar ehance will ever come to him again ts an extromely doubtful question, A NEW PLAN OF EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION. Other and inferior obstacies to united ection existed, but these have been mostly smoothed away, and the administration is about to take its new departure, The Councillors Okubo and Kido are busy with the details of the new scheme of executive reform, which they will shortly present for adoption, and the cttef feature of whtoh will be a great reduotion in the number of the ‘‘Sangi”’ or members of the Imperial Council, and the con- centration of practical authority in the hands of a comparatively smaii body, Tae present “Sangi,’’ while surrendering their titles and heghest fanc- tions, will retaim control of the special depart. ments over which they are now stationed. Thus the Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affaire, Public Works, &c., may hold their several positions, but cease to have a voice in the Cabinet. No one yet KDOWS positively who will be chosen to continue im the higher sphere. Itis tolerably plain, how- ever, that Okubo, Kide and Itagaki will be of the number, But until this issue and others depen d- ent upon it are pe aa the operations of the Pua ls will not be resumed with real vigor. ‘ne further delay of afew weeks 1s looked upon Ag unavoidable.

Much attention has recently been attracted and considerable criticism provoked by the open ~eudeavors of the United Staces Minister to secure tho appointment of Americans to positions of emoiument in tho Japanese service. It has until within @ short time been a principle, accepted at least in theory, that foreign representatives | | should abstain éven irom offering suggcations in this raspect. Most of the Western Ministers are positively forbidden to touch upon snbjeots of the sort, and, although the injouction haa been se- | cretly evaded by probably every one of tuem, so | long as it formed part of their instructions it acted as @ wholesome restraint. The government of Jeado were aware that any pressure directed against them in this particular would not be sanc- toned by the autnorities at home, Ministers did ush forward their countrymen with more or less jdness, but there was danger for them in mak- | ing undisgulsed efforts to persion their fellow citizens at the cost of Japan. Few had the hardl- hood of that American Envoy who stated unre- servedly that One of his constituents Jrom his own y State must be provided for, lest he, the diplomatic representative of the United States, shotlid iose a favoring infuenee in his future polttical career, | Until a year ago our Legation was sabject to the | game oheck as the others, but early im 1874 argu- | ments were brought to bear upon the State De- partment and the legislators ot Washington which produced @ remarkable change. It is said that Mr. Bingham cialms, with a good deal of pride, the cred{s of having instigated the reversal of the | old system. 1am notin a position to say posi- tively whether this statement is correct or not, but it is generally accepied as true, and I am bound to declare that there are jew disinteres‘ed observers Who Can sympathize with his reputed | sense of sell-congratulation, If one thing could | more rapidly ana overwhelmingly than any other destroy the respect of this government for a foreign enemy it Would be the factof his holdin, a wholesalo commission for the advancement o! the pecuniary interests of his countrymen. And this, unfortunately, is precisely the position in which Mr. Bingham ts known to stand, It ts truo that Congress did not endow him with so much | | license, but be possesses the nuwer to exercise It notwithstanding. The act approved Jano 17, 1874, declares that no officer in his situation shall, | “without tho consent of the Secretary of State, reviously obtained, recommend any person at ome Or Abroad for auy employments of trast or | profit unger the government in which he is lo- | cated,” &e, It will be understood that, antece- dont to the passage of tho act im question, no | such recommendation could be rightfully made under any circumstances, THE LATITUDE ALLOWED BY CONGRESS was certainly wide enough, but there was a de- gree of circumspection shown tm the provicion that tne Ree Ol the department shoutd be first asked for and received, Mr. Fish, nowever, t once addressed the Ministers ta the Kast im the following languago:—“You are consequently tn- strucced, Whenever in your opinion the interesis of this government will be promoted by the ap- pointment of Americans to office, to make such Fecommendations relating thereto aa yeu may deem proper.

Hone Kona, June 10, 1875, T have just received inteiligence of another dar- ibg piratical attack upon a British steamer at Foo-Cuow, the particulars of which, as near as I can gather at present, are as follows:— AN OFFICIAL IN DEADLY FRAR. The steamer Dougias reached Foo-Cnow on the 6th uit. from Hong Kong. A Custom House of- ficer named Blacwiock came on board as usual for Dignt duty. This officer had a few days pre. vious been instrumental in arresting some scoundrels who had stolen a large quan. tity of opium from the steamer Quantuny, Tne thieves’ gang had therefore vowed vengeance against Oustom House oifcers, and Blacklock in particular, Some of these threats seemed to have reachea the ears of that oficer, for on tiis night, when he was watchiag the Douwlas, previous to the first ofiver’s retiring, he requested that Officer to lend bim his revolver, saying he ex- pected a visit jrom the smugglers, THE AYTACK. At about one o’clock in the morning a longboat came alongside the Dougias, with a large number Of men on board, Tne Custom House ofiiver. pers ceiving them, ordered them off; but they persisted, and avrempted to chinb up the ship’s side. He then. fired three shots from bis revoiver, leaning over the rail, Which must have had some effect. The pirates opened fre on him an.i he was killed, receiving no less than twenty-five slugs right ia bis breast, TO THE RESCUR, In the meantime the crew, hearing the firing, rushed on deck with their revoivers, and a few shots were delivered, but the pirates siunk away, Unly one boat came alongside, but there were two others in the immodiase yiciuity, provably to re- inforce the first boat if her crew had succeeded tn getting on board, COUNTING THE DRAD. It was stated next day that sour of the smuggler pirates nad deen Killed Bad several wounded, ‘ihe circumstances have been reported to the Chinese authorities at Foo-Chow, and they have promised to do all in sheir power for the appre- hension of the pirates. It is said that the river at Foo-Onow 1s very thickly intested wish these des. peradogs. ——_——_—_—_—- THE AMERIOAN CHURCH IN OHINA, DETAILS OF THE ATTACK ON THE EVANGELIST GOSPEL CENTRE AT KU-KIANO—A MOB DEM- ONSTRATES AGAINST OWRISTIANITY.
