Wasnizeron, January 21 —The su- preme court has rendered a decision in the case of the Excelsior Manufacturin company, appellant, against Ezekiel Bussey et al., an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Missouri. This was a suit brought by Bussey and others against the Ixcelsior Manufacturing compauy for an alleged infringement of three sov- eral patents upon improvements in cook- ing stoves. The court holds first that the reissued patent granted Bussey Feb- ruary 1, 1870, is not infringed and that gl’entw granted Nathan & Little Septem- er 16, 1873, are void for want of nov- elty in the alleged inventions. The de- cree of the circuit court is reversed with costs, and the case remanded with di- rections to dismiss the bill. This decis- ion disposes also of the cross-appeal of Bussey and others from the same decree. The tax case of the Sioux City & Pa- cific Railroad company, plamtifis in error agast the United States in error, from the Unitea States circuit court of Towa, was a suit brought by the United States receiver for arrears of taxes and theamount of $11,000 alleged to have accrued between November, 1868, and September, 1871. The question in con- troversy wes whether the company, in computing net earnings liable to taxation, Thas the right to deduct from the gross receipts interest on subsidy honds. The court holds that the case comes within the internal revenue act, and no deduc- tion from net earnings can be made, as interest is to be provided for by a fund in the nature of 3 sinking fund. Judg- ment of the lower court is aflirmed. Frederick T. Dimpfel, et al., appel- lants, against the Ohio & Mssissippi railroad company, appeal from the United States circuit court, southern district 1llinois, was a suit brought to set, aside a contract by which the Ohio & Mississippi railroad company became owner of a portion of iw road known as the Springtield division, and to obtain a decree declaring the bonds 1ssued by the county secured by mortgage upon that division null and void. The court holds that complainants have not shown any grounds to justify inquiry into the validity of the transaction. De- crea of the lower court aftirmed- 'I'ne Gauited States ex rel George B. Chandler, plaintiff in error, againat County Dn&e, in error, Circuit Court of the United States district, Nebraska. This suit was brought by Chandler, to compel the commissioners of Dodge county, Nebraska, to meet and levya tax tu pay the interest on coupons of ceatain bonds issued by the county, for the pnrpose of building a bridge across the Platte river. The court below ren- dered judgment in favor of the county, but this court reverses the judgments and holds the bridge was a work of in- ternal improvement within the statute of Nebrasku at_that time, aud the duty of the commissioners was to vote the tax in question regardless of the provisions of subscquent revised statutes. N WYCK'S KESOLUTION. The action of the senate to-day upon Senator Van Wyck's resolution, to con- sider the Mexican treaty in open session, does not reach the subject matter of the yesolution, but simply removes it from the public to a secret session, where its adoption or rejection will determine whether the treatv itself will Lo consid- ered with open or closed doors. The treaty was not taken up to day, and pro- bably will not be until its friends feel confident of success. They are said to have made no progress so far. Of two absent senators reported heard from on the subject, one declares himself in favor of the treaty, and the other, who was re- ported by his friends as being in favor of the treaty, declares himself opposed, LAND GRANT ADJUSTMENT, The bill introduced by Mr. Anderson in the house for adjustment of the land grants made by congress to aid the con- struction of railroads, provides that the sacretary of the interior shall adjust nts to the Leavenworth, Lawrence & alveston and Atchison, Texas & Santa Fe railroads, upon the principles of de- cimons rendered by the United States su- preme court. If upon adjustment it shall be found that lands have been cer- tified to the companies in excess of the amount to which they are lawtully enti- tled, they shall be forfeitcd. If the companies have sold land to which they were mnot lawfully entitled the sales shall be void, Iunocent purchasers, however, have a prior right to homestead or pre-emption, and they have the right to purchase lands from the government and recover from the company the amount paid it. Upon the same principles of adjustment the secrotary of the interior is authorised to adjust grauts of lauds made to the Kansas Pacitic, Missouri, Kansas & Tex- as and St. Jop & Denver City railroads, no mora lands to bu patented by any of the above rouds until the grants are ad- justed. If auy road mentioned in the ill is not completed within the time and upon the terms of the grant, all lands granted it, which have not been certified or patented, shall revert to the United States and be open to settlement the game a8 other public lands. The secre- . tary is authorized to adjust all grants in aid of the construction |, road the states and territories, upon terms and considerations as provided by the bill. AHE NEBRASKA INDIANS, Four hundred Winnebago Indians now upoun the reservation in Nebraska have petitionsd the secretary of the interior to allot them lands in soveralty, o as to re- quire citizenship. FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, SENATE, Wasnizaron, January 21.—Mr. Van Wyck (rep., Neb.) introduced a resolu- tion providing that nll{ further debate on the Mexican treaty be had with open doors. Objection was made to its reception and the chair ruled it out of order to present such a resolution in vpen senate. Mr. Van Wyck appealed from the de- cisior: of the chair, and on motion of Mr, Edmunds (rep., Vt.) the senate resolved to close its doors in order to discuss the appeal. The ruling of the chair was sustained by the senate in secret session. Objection was then made to immediate consideration of the resolution, even in secret session, and it went over one day under the rules, when the doors were re- oponed. The following bills were then intro- dnced: By Mr. Lapham (rep., N. Y.)—To pro- vide for the erection of a bronze statue of Signor Bolivar in Washington or Now York. By Mr. Bdmunds (rep., Vt.)—To amend the act granting aid tor the con- atruction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean, to secure the government use of the same for postal, military and other purposes, approved July 1, 1862, and bills amendatory thereof, one of which proviaes for a settlement of claims of the United States, and to secure the United States for the indebtednessof the compa- nies to them. In presenting the bill Mr. Edmunds said it was prepared by the commissioner of railroads and was very important, its object, if possible, being the termination of the controversy that appears perpetual between the United States and these rail- road companies as to what they should pay in, and to provide for opening up transactions by a new arrangement on a long bond, to take the place of the obli- gation of the companies to pay the Uni- ted States; also to provide legal securi- tres for such repayment and mothods for the enforcement thereof. The hill was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Gibson (dem., La.) submitted the following resolution, which lies on the tablo to be hereafter called up: Resolved, That the committee on for- cign relations be mnstructed to ascertain and report to the senate what discrimina- tions, if any, are made by foreign govern- ments against people of the United States by allowing drawbacks in favor of their oWwn exportations to come in competition withours in the open markets of the world, or by subsidies, or special boun- ties in favor of their steamship lines, or impose export duties upon commodities consumed in the United States, or pro- hibit and restrain importations of pro- dnctions of the United States by unusual laws and regulations, or by higher rates on American vessels or special reciprocity treaties or otherwise, and also force in effect the most favored nation clause found in ccmmercial or reciprocity treat- ies with such recommendations as the committee on foreign relations deem ne- cessary and proper. A resolution was agreed to that the secretary of the treasury be directed to transmit to the senate copies of the official reports tending to show fraudu- lent under valuations or classification of wool imported to the United States. Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala ), offered the following resolution,which was agreed to: Resolved, That the committee on for- eign relations be instructed to inquire into the subject of settlements and trad- ing posts being established in the valley of the Congo river in Africa and report if any action can properly be taken by congress or the executive in furtherance of our commerce in that quarter, the committee to report by bili or otherwise. The senate proceeded to the consider- ation of bills on the calendar. The first to engage attention was the bill reported from the committee on private land claims, which provides a method for per- fecting title in lands lying within the limits of territory received by the United States from Mexico. It provides that any person cr corporation claiming lands under such lawful, though incomplete Spanish or Mexican grant, warrant, con- cession or survey as the United States is bound to recognize by virtue of treatios of cession may petition the United States court for the district in which the land is situated setting forth the nature of the claim and the court be vested with power to hear and determine the matter and fix and complete the title, Mr. Conger (rep. Mich.), wished it to o over until senators have opportunity to examine it. It seemed to him to contain very objectionable provisions and savored of & stupendous ‘‘job" or “steal.” Mr. Bayard (dem. Del.), said it had already been passed twice by the senate and carefully examined by members of the committee on private land claims, If ever & bill had been introduced in the senate caloulated to prevent rather than promote steals it was this, It was in- tended to preveni a multiplicity of bills in interest of those strong envugh to ob- tain the influence for their passage which would place great and unmeasured quan- tities of land in the hands of powerful individuals or corporations to the de- struction of small owners. The bill was made a special order for Monday next. The ill‘remlimnu retired army ofli- cers to hold civil oftice in the territories passed, yeas 57, nays 11, The bill for the establishment of a civil government in Alaska was taken up. 1¢ provides for a governor to be uppuint- ed by the president with powers similar to those of governors in other territor- ies, establishes courts, ete. An amendment proposed in committee was adopted in the senate wmaking the laws of Oregon so far as applicable, the laws of Alaska. Without reaching & conclusion on the bill the senate went into executive ses- ion, and when the doors were reopened adjourned, HOUSE, 1o the house, during the morning hour, the following bills were introduwf: By Mr. Finerty (ind., fil.)—To confer brevet promotions on army officers who are particularly distinguished for heroic action in Indian warfare. By Mr. Davis (rep., 111.)-~Appropriat- ing $50,000 for the erection ui' a public building at Chicago for the appraiser’s oftice Mr, Anderson (rep., Ks.)—Froviding for adjudication of landgrants roduce the life of patents to five years; also to amend the rules governing privileges of the floor to ex-members of congress. By Mr. Poters (rep., Kas.)—To rogu- Iate United States commerce through a national court of arbitration. By Mr. Cutcheon (rep., Mich)-Ta improve tho civil service by relieving legislative oflicers from performing execu- tive functions. By Mr. Bayne (rep., Pa.) ~ For econo- my in education by providing a national series of text books, within the jurisdic- tion of congress. By Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala.)—To reg- ulate the fees of attorneys in pension cases, By Mr. Valentine (rep., Neb.)-To authorize a bridge across the Missouri at Decatur. By Mr. Taylor (rep., Ohio)- Repealing all limitations of time in which applica- tions for pensions may be filod By M. Goorge (rep., Ore.) tion authorizing the commissioner of In dian affairs to make an investigation into the massacre of Dr, Marcus Whitman and others in 1847, By Mr. Warner (dem., Tenn.)—To procure information relative to the de- mand and prices for American agricul- tural products in other countries. By Mr. Boutello (rop., Me.)—A reso- lution requesting the secretary of war for information whether for several years maps, diagrams, otc., in the case of Fitz-John Porter have been submitted to the members of each graduating class at West Point for the purpose of invit- ing their criticism and judgment on the findings of the general court-martial held in pursuance of law, and in caso this is true, to inform the house by what au- thority er instigation the miuds of youths educated at the public expense are thus directed to the discussion and question- ing of the ofticial action of their lawful superiors, and whether such action is not calculated to foster insubordination in army offigers so educated. Ovjection was made to its present con- sideration or reference. Mr. Springer, chairman of the commit- tee on expenditures in the department of justice, moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution to increase the mem- bership of that committee to nine, au- thorizing it to appoint sulcommittees of not less than three each, which shall be committees of the house, and author- ized to send for persons and papers, Mr. Belford (rep. Col ), believed the present attorney-general had been wise, judicious and honest in all operations, and he did not think the expenscs of the star route trials should be investigated. His name had been connected with the star route trial of the last congress and he demanded an investization and de- sired in the examination to take consid- eration of the check signea ‘J. B, B.” and given tc pay gambling debts, but not by him or to pay bim. Mr. White (rep Y.) favored the resolution. He believes if a thousand dollars were stolen from the treasury by fedwral ofticials it should be found. Cer- tain men, notably the governor of Utah and a man who last session lobbied in the interest of the whisky ring, deserved stripped clothes in the penitentiary. hfr. Springer modified his resolution to limit the expenditures to %5,000. Mr. Randall (dem., Pa.), chairman of the committe on appropriations, reported a joint resolution for an appropriation for the relief of Lieutenant Greeloy and party. Referred to the conmittee of the whole. Mr. Holman (dem., Ind.,) moved to suspend the rules and adopt a vesolution to the effect that all public lands grantea to aid the construction of railroads for the future by nonfulfilment of the condi- tions should be forfeited and restored to the public domain; that it is of the high- est public importance that the land laws be 80 framed and administered as ulti- mately to secure free holds to the great- est number of citizens by the repeal of laws facilitating speculation therein or allowing the purchase of larze bodies, but disposed of to actual settlers under the homestead law only; that the com- mittee on public lands be instructed t report bills covering the points above stated, and that they be pushed to pas- 8age. Mr. Kasson (rep., Ia.) exprossed con- currence in the final resolution, but thought the house ought not to act hastily on the second, which might work injury to the cattle industry. Mr. Reed (vep , Me.) thought it dan- gerous for the house to adopt at a mo- ment's notice a resolution 8o sweeping in its provisions, Mr. Belford supported the resowtions, especially the eecond, He did not pro- pose that four or tive cattle kings should own the west, as four or five railroad monarchs owned the east, Mr. Shaw (dem., Ill.) opposed the resolution because it might do injustice to some road earnestly striving to earn A resolu- its lands.

If the repeal of that oath would have a tenden- cy to hasten the era of good feeling, he would heartily favor it, but he believed the interpretation that would be put on that act would be harmful to the coun- try. Whenever a coucession of thiskind was interpreted, it was considered as a retrogression from the stundpoint of loy- alty and a sanction or condonation of at- tempts to destroy the governmeut. r. Cox explained that it only af- fected jurors and men who take the iron clad oath.

CRIME AND CRIMINALS. THE NUTT TRIAL, Prersuong, January 21.—Attendance the laat dayof the Nutt trial wasthe largest. of any since the trial begun. For hours before the opening this morning’crowds pushed and jostled in the hallways and on the stairs and when the doors opened surged into the court room, packing it almost to suffocation in a few minutes. Among those present were a large num- ber of ladies, The prisoner looked fresh and complacent, Mrs. Nutt and Lizzie occupied their acustoned seats. District Attorney Johnson, of Fayette county, opened the argument by adress- ing the jury in behalf of the common- wealth. Maj. Brown followed tor the defense, after which the court took a recess. Both speeches were listened to with wrapt attention andseveral times the speakers were interrupted by applause or hisses. This afternoon Senator Voorhees de- livered the closing address for the defen- dant. He spoke nearly two hours, and carried the audience, judge and jurywith him completely. At one point he smd that his advice to young men situated as was Nutt was to use shotguns loaded four inches deep instead of revolvers. This was cheered. D. F. Patterson closed for the prose- cution with a three hours’ speech of rare power. He scouted the idea of irresisti- ble impulse or insanity in any form, and declared that Lizzie Nutt's father had admitted the truth of the statements contained in Duke's letters. Judge Stowe charged the jury this evening, His rulings were rather against, the insanity theory. The jury retired shortly before 8 o’clock, and the court waited half an hour and then adjourned until to-morrow. There is no change in the opinion that the verdict will be not guilty.
