BUBTAIMD.
A very important decsMon ha rooen'lv been ren
dered by Jouire Howie, chief Justice ot the Co art ot
Appeas ot Maryland, Wwnnff upon tne aoDltcatlou
I tbe Civil Kights bill to tlio lawa of this Mate. The
facta of the cane, a w are lnlormec bra correspond
ent, a, e that lr. A. U. fomen, of Rockrille, Mont
pomei y county, on the 22d ot June, committed an
unprovoked asea.ilt upon a poor, unofli'iid'nir, and
peaceable colored man in tne streets of Kockville,
beating him very severely.
1 his coloied mnu'a wi'e, on the day following the
swan t, sued out a wariaut before ti. Monday, Eiq.,
Justieoot tlio ce m Kuctviile, against Sorners,
u h.cb bo w an arrested aud arraigned before tno
magistrate. Uoorce Peter. K.q., a irominent Domo
ratio .awycr, was emploved by Dr. ttomers a his
counsol, and argued tnut the warrant was illegal
slider the laws of Mary and, no negro or mulatto,
Mr. Peter contending, being; a competent witness
paiiist a white person. Justice Monday decided
that that law bad been abrogated and superseded,
ana was null and void, nnder the law recently pa ised
by Cougieas known an the Civil KUata bill.
In accordance with this decision, the Justice re
)tiirtd Air. eomeis to Rive hail in the sum of 6800
lor his appearance before the Circuit Court of liout
romcrr county rjomers rolused to 'urnlsH bail,
and Justice Monday committed him 10 jail, where
at on bis counsel, Mr. l'eter, ai p ied to chief Juv
tice Bowie (he beiuar at home at the h mo) tor tlio
writ ot habeas coiput, which his Honor refused to
(rant, eivin a written opinion sustaining the
action ol Justice Monilay,and uiuintaiain tbe c u
siitiitionallty of tlio Civil Kiirhls bill, so far as it
relates to the quo.-tion in dispute.
As the opm.oii ol Chifi Justice Bowie Is ot much
in portaiive to all poisons in the statu, we KUa it iu
lull below, as loi'ows:
A. il. Somert, If ntgonry e mnly. Aid., 3d Ju y,lHW.

li.eieturn sliows the petitioner is detained upon a
warrant issued by a Justice mi the poaoe up n Inionn i
tion ot a negro charging the prisoner wuh an an m t
wuninent to Ml I he prisoner claims his discnar.(
spun i Le ground thnt ihe warrant was IsiU'-d wlcmut
authority ot law iho Informer tie.ng lacomoetmt to
ttwtny iu uvy matters in which a wmt'j persua is con
cerntd. i lie ode enacts, "no negro or mulatto, whether free
or slave, and no Indian, shall be admitted In any matt lr
deremlliig in am court or bifure any Justice oi the
peace. vhere any white norson is concuroeU."
'Ibis is pubstautlally the provision oi the arc of 1717,
ch. 13, which Is preiaocd vl b a preamble, declaring it
nutht be of dangerous vonacquencas to admit u d
at ow as evidences iu law. In a-y courts of record, o
be ore any magistrate, any nnrro or mulatto, slave or
Iree, or any Indian, siave or tree, native of this or the
neighboring provinces
Iraniage and coliatiltailon between the white and
negro races were punished by the same act under
severe penalties, subjecting the odenders to slavery lor
lite or years.
The constitutional power of tbe Rtate to pais such
laws however their wisdom or policy may have been
doublet), bas nsver been questioned. This legislation
commenced with the colony, has been continued since
n became a Mate, and is. as we have scon, lncorpo
ra cd in the bodv of the ' ode o' I'unllc Goner n Laws,
hucn was the policy ol the State for nearly two hun
dred fears.
Tho convention of 1864 by the twenty-fourth article
of i lie Declaration of Rights, declared 'that hereafter
tn this btute there sha 1 be neither slavery nor Involun
tary servitude, except In punishment of crime,
bin ol tlie party sua i have been du y convicted; and
all persons held to service or .obor, as sfaves. i t hereby
eeclared tree." A new pollcv was thus inaugurate 1, the
General Assembly of IB j6, In pursuance oi tbe princi
ples enunciated in the Decoration of ltlgbts, repealed
act W. of the code of P ublio General Laws, entitled
Kennies " under which were collided the laws re ating
to 'slaves," ''munumis'lon, ' 'i'nmlirratlon," "vagran
cies," "tumultuous assemblages " iuc ndiary publica
tions." ' navigation ol vesse s by nei.ro3s," license to
keeouog or gun," ' dealings with roe negroes," "con
Uraciso hire by tree 'negroes ' and petitions tor free
dom," thereby lepeallnc the dlsabi ity previously exist
hilt, and plucing neitroi a and nmlattoes under the same
laws with white persons iu those particulars.
On ihc 3d of Kebruary, 1H66, the Qeneral Assembly of
Maiyiaud ra.itled and c nllrmed Hie ihirteeuih article
of tno eonstltutlim ol the United States, which Is In
these words:
'v ectiuu l Se'vhcr s'avery nor Involuntary gervita Je,
except as a Duuibuient for crime, wbereot the
party shall have been uulv convicted, s.iall exist
within the United ti tales or ouy piace subject to their
luriaolcilon.
.ectiuu t. Congress shull have power to enlorce tliia
anlc e by eiipronnu e levis ation."
I r or to tne ottoptiou o tuis amendment to the Fede
ral coustituilon Cuni,rcss tas Its anguage Imp ies)
had i o power to legislate on tnu suojoctol slavery in
the Biates.
ihc question now occurs, what Is the character and
extent oi the power eoiiterrcd' Does it give exclusive
or concurrent juiisdiuuou io Congress over tuecomrtd
aopulaiiouif or express or implied authority to jim til J
act ewiit e.i ' An a I V prot :d a 1 pcrsous Iu tue United

Important to National Bunks.
As there Deems to be ome muapprehcnBton
among National Banks concerning the proper
method of makintr their return", the following
letter from the Treasurer of the United States
may be of great interest:
TREABrBY OF TUB UNITED STATES, DIVISION OF
National Banib, Washington, July 7, I8f6.
Sir: I have received yours ot the 3 J instant.
Yousay "there isadiilereiiceof opinlouin regard
to one feature of our statements among National
Banks In ibis sec.ion, which does not seem to
be met by any of your publiflhed doclMons. It
is connected with the 'deposit' item. We mak
the amount by addinir the amount due ordinary
deposits to that received from collections on
account of other bauk, and deduct the amount
of overdrafts and that cent to and due from other
bank (on which, ol course, they pay the tax).
In other words, we deduct the amonut due from
o.hcr banks irom that due to thciu, and add this
to tbe balance ot deposit account (deposit lubs
overdraws").
That i here has been no publiMhcd decision of
this ollicu in retard to the above manner of
n i) kiiifz returns, i simply owing to the fact that
it bun not tiiilieitu been supposed that any bank
would claim to be allowed to deduct Irom its
deposits tie amount of it-t overdrafts or the sums
due irom other banks, virtually ovordratts. The
deposits shown by the books of your bank are
tlie riepoMis to oe returned lor payment of duty,
without any dcdtic ion, whether of amounts due
from other banks or of individual overdrafts,
which are really loans illegitimately aud tin -
Eroperly made, opposed to all principles of good
ankinii, and against which there should be the
lhOFt ntnci regulation;.
'Ihe SZO.ObO mentioned by you a received
Irom the Metropolitan Bank as a "call loan,"
and credited to paid bank, is a depositation
which duty nhotild be paid, even tuough the
umount has been left by you with the mme bank
subject to your dratt. The deduction as an
offset of a like amount due from said bank would
not be proper.
The check received by yon from the Albany
Bank, and forwarded to the Kaugcrtk's Bauk for
collection, havinir been credited by you to the
Albany Bunk, nitift be teturned bv you as a
deposit, so long as it may remain with ' you, and
it would nol be proper to enter as an oifset to
this deposit the amount you have charged to the
Stiugerties Bank ou account of said collection.
