The Mandamus Case.

The Judges of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia have unanimously quashed the return recently made by Amos Kendall, Postmaster General, to the Mandamus nisi, heretofore issued against him at the relation of Stockton, Stokes & Co. They have now granted a writ of Peremptory Mandamus, returnable on the 14th of August.

We shall now see exemplified the purity of American justice, where the majesty of the law not only protects the humblest individual in his just rights but overawes and subdues those who occupy the high places of the Government and who have shown, but for its wholesome restraints, that they would not hesitate to commit rank oppression.
