I don't know how to edit the information box in the top right of the entry. The date decided for this case has not been correctly entered, and the date argued may also need correcting. The currently entered dates (Argued October 20–21, 1879 / Decided March 1, 1879) are clearly erroneous; you can't decide the case and then argue it! Multiple reliable sources give more reasonable dates, but there are some small differences among them:
Argued. Oct 19 - 20, 1879. Decided. Feb 29, 1880 (see http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100536518)
or
ARGUED Oct 20 - 21, 1879. DECIDED Mar 1, 1880 (see https://www.oyez.org/cases/1850-1900/100us303#!)
