The Supreme Court have been occupied for the last few days in hearing the great case of Mrs. Gaines against the Executors of the will of Daniel Clark, of New Orleans, and those holding portions of the property by purchase from them. The amount involved in the decision is between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000. The case is without a parallel, not only for the amount of property involved, but for the wonderful character of the incidents, even as admitted by the vastly wealthy possessors of the estate, and for the very important questions raised against the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as for the history and position of the parties concerned.
