Itrmlrred bf That Tribunal.
Wasiiixutox November 4. A decNIon
was rendered yotcnLvy afternoon on a long
scries of cases which have arisen out of the
adoption of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments tn the constitution. The pres-
ent cax which is that of John Elk
plaintiff id error agaiust Charles Wilkins
ami which came from the district of Ne
braska U a suit brought by an Indian against
the registrar or one of the wards of the
city of Omaha for refusing to register
bint as a nullified voter therein. The t
quotums presented are whether plaintiff in
erpir is a citizen of the United States and
whether he lias been denied any riclit
suanntccd him by the Fifteenth amend-
ment to the Federal Contitut:on. This
court in a long and elaborate opinion by
Justice Gray. Iiclds: First that an Indian
wlio is bom a member of one of the Indian
tribes within the United Suites which still
exists and is rcctcnized as a tribe by the
Government and who has toluutarily seiu
rated himself from his tribe and
taken up Ins residence among the nliilo
citizens of (he State but who has not been
naturalised or taxed or n-ocnlzed as a citi-
zen either of thc United Mates or by tho
State is not a citizen of thc United States
uit'iln the meaning of the fut section of
the fourteenth amendment.
Second That plaintiff in error not being
a citizen of the United States under the
fourteenth amendment lias been deprived
of no right 'eearcd by the fifteenth amend-
ment and can not maintain this action.
Th" jndement of the second court Is af-
firmed. Jntticc narlan read a long dis-
Maiiing opinion in behalf of Justice Woods
and him-oif.
A dertMoii was rendered by the Court In
thc important patent suit of Ilenjamln Bnt-
terwortli. CommK-doncr of Patent plain-

rel. Richard Hoe and others in error to the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
Tins was a suit brouirht for thc purpose of
obtaining a wnt of mandamus to rcmpcl
the l"oumiistoner to i.-5tie a latent in ac-
curdaiirc with his own decision notwith-
standing tho fact that the decision had been
overruled and reterscri upon application by
the Secn-tary of tin- Interior. The question
prrsetttrd here is whether any light of ap-
iwal exists in patent cases from a deci.-ioii
iif the Commissioner of l'atcntx. Tills
man in an ojmiion by Justice Matthews
mdds tlia an appeal does not lie in patent
eases to the Secretary of the Interior: that
the Commissioner or Patents has the exclu-
sive rieht to decide for himself whether or
not a latent ought to Kue and the Secre-
tary of the Interior lias tin authority to re-
view such decision. 1 1 the Commissioner errs
the party aggrieved lias a statuary remedy

auce with the State Ian- upon steam propell-
ers pit iug between New Orleans and the
Gulf coast is a "regulation of commerce
between states" are! therefore forbidden-by
-eetkwi S of the Federal constitution. The
Supreme Court of Ixiuisiana decided that
it was not Tins court reverses that decis-
kn. and holds that such tax on ooastwUe
steamers is a rezulrtion of commerce among
the states and therefore unconstitutional
and void. A decision was also rendered bj
the court in the municipal bond case of
thc city of Fort Scott plainthf ic
error against Samuel !. Hickman hi er-
ror to the Circuit Contt of the United
