It means that as time goes on, American society will change. Our morals, values and ethical standards will change. Specifically, the Warren Court was known for handling issues about equal opportunity, civil rights and discrimination laws.

The "evolving standards of decency" likely referred to the way that discrimination on the bases of race and gender were no longer acceptable (example: during the first half of the 1900's blacks, asians/mongoloids and hispanic people were not allowed to become citizens).

Marking the "progress of a maturing society" obviously referred to the way that America was becoming more tolerant and that we were on our way to a truly equal future.
