 Supreme Court of the Ulailed States us. GGootgiia Supreme Cossrt.-As was to have been expected, our worthy Judge of the Western Circuit has made an arn- pie display of lis ususb firnnness, in ut terly disregarding the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the missionaries. We have understood l from an intelligent gentleman who was Ipresent, that at the late term of Gwin- nett Superior Court, Ca mandate from the Supreme Court off United States was served on his honor Judge Dough- erty, purporting to reverse the decision of the said Superior Court in the. case l of the misunderstanding that the law under which they were indicted wasrepugnant to the Constitution, Trea- ties, and Laws of the United States, and therefore void and of no effect and that the missionaries be forthwith discharged-and commanding said Sli- perior Court 10 carry into effect this mandate of the Supreme Court. On the same day, the counsel of the pris- oncrs moved q rule nisi, setting out the mandate at length in the rule, calling upon the Solicitor General 10 show cause why the said mandate should not be entered upon the minutes of said Superior Court, and also why a habeas corpus should not issue 10 bring up the prisoners, that the Court might inquire into the cause of their caption and de- tention; and insisted that they had a right 10 enter the rule upon the min- utes of the Court, as d matter of course. The Solicitor General contended that the Court should determine to grant them the Rule Nisi, before they could place 1t on the minutes of the Court After short consultation among them selves, the prisoners counsel concluded to alter the phraseology of their rule, so as to make 1t q simple motion to en- ter the mandate@upon the minutes and for habeas corpus &e. Mir. Chester, Judge Underwood, and Gen. Harden. for the prisoners, and the Solicitor Ge- neral, for the state, then entered into an argument Of considerable length. upon the application made. It the close of the argument, the Court deliv- cred an opinion, refusing the applica- ton. The counsel for the prisoners then requested that their motion, to- gether with the decision of the Court, should be entered upon the motion dock ct and minutes of the Court. The Court reminded them that the only point before him was whetherthe Court would entertain their rnoton-not whether he would grant it. Southern Bonner.
