From the Na'innal In*e’.i>"neer.
Information lias icaelied 'his city, that Tas
SFLS, the Indian, in whose beh .If tbe Writ of Er
ror was sued out of the Supreme Court from the
d.vision of die Circuit Court of the State of Geor
gia, has btfi hung in nurs'iinoe of <ha sentence
of that Court. Tho case lias theicfoie, we sup
pose, passed from the jurisdiction of tho Supreme
Court no injunction or supersedeas having issued
from that coc.it, disobedience to which would
bring tiie care before it.
The issuing of the writ of error was a matter of
of course; a right guaranteed by the laws, and a
duty imperative on im Court: that w rit operated
pi fact nly as a notice lo the State that a Writ °f
Error had been sued out,, it was a summons,
which tiro State had a right to disregard if she
eliogc; because, if tho State did disregard it, the
case would nevertheless have, horn examined be
fore llie Supremo Court, and adjudged according
to law, had not death abated the cacso Nor
was the execution of Ihe Indian, or tho pro
coedings of tho Lo list ilure or tho Executive of
Georgia .by which the execution of the sentence
is cnfrrool and diroete !, a.iy oflence against tho
Laws of the United States. A humane regard
for human life; a spirit of mercy; a proper respect
for rights claimed in the forms of law, w ould per
haps liavo induced a suspension of the execution
until a decision of the supreme oanrt could have
been made, but no legal obligation or injunction
exists which has been violated by the sentenco be
ing carried into effect—The wrong, so fiir ns a
wrong has been perpetrated by the execution of
tho sentence, is a moral (not legal) wroilg.
Tho resolutions of tho State w Georgia, ilia
true, go farther than this, and impugn tho authori
ty of ilia supreme court us derived from the con
stitution So far the proceedings of the legisla
ture aro uncniititutional, and therefore, in our
view.no* justifiable Let there is un process by
which that unconstitutional proceeding can ho
brought before the Supr. Court, if it were desir
able As n case of actual conflict between the
United Slates and Georgia, ihereforq, the ense
has terminated v i!h the death of the indinn. Wo
do not -ejoiee iu the deal li of the Indian, even tho'
ho may have legally incurred the penally; but we
aro glad that the ease is ended by that circum.
stance For we aro far fiom deriri gto multi
ply points of conflict between tho federal and
stale authorities."
