(Signed) E. H. DusELL, Judge. NEw ORLRANS, Dec, 5, 1672 In obedience to this order, the United States Marshal called upon General Emory, command- ing the Department, for & military force to ese- cute the sbove order, which was promptly fur- nished, and possession taken of the Institute, a8 before telegraphed. At about 2:30 o'clock this morning, two com- } panies of the First Artillery of United States troops, under directions of Deputy United States Marshal Deckling, took possession of the State House. Part of the troops were quar- tered in the Senate Chamber, and a art in the Chamber of the House of epresentatives, hilst the officers and Deputy United States Marshal took up their uarters in the Governor's ante-room. 'The. doors were closed and guarded. and_egress and xsngzees denied to all except the officers of the tate. An extra Times has the following : “At as early an hour as 10 o'clock, the United Btates Cirenit Court room contained probably £5) persons, most of whom were colored, and the crowd inereesed every moment, coming in in a long file, and at mbout 10:45, almost every availeble seat outside the railing wae occapied. The crowd was in the best of humor, and tha isughing and talking was incossant. There seemed to be scarcely a doubt in the minds of any one &s to the way the decision would be, and, comsequently, those in the crowd, which, from all appearances, was com- osed _of men in favor of the tom Honee, who urderstood anything about the matter, and could anticipate the result of the decision, were jubilant. Governor Warmoth came in at about 11 o’cloc! and in a short time was joined by Colon McEmery. The Governor appeared £ be in no wise ised or dismeyed. At 11:45 o'clock, Judge Durell entered, and, immediately after the Court hed been celiled to order, commenced 1o read his dezision. He commenced by describing the bill as a well- Imown one. to Chancery Courts. This bill is brought under the acts of 1870 and. 1871 of Congress. The act of 1870 was quoted, first section, to show that the right to vote was guaranteed without distinction on ac- count of Tace, color, or previous condition, Bection 8 was quoted regarding registration and the offer to register as being in law registration. The twenty-third Section was quoted to show that a defeated candidate who has been defeated or deprived of his office on tccount of a denial 0 & voteron account of race, color, etc., can ‘bring his suit in the United Stafes_Court. Sec- tion 3 of the act of 1871 was quoted to show that the United Btates Court has general jurisdiction. The above acts were framed o enfore the Fif- teenth Amendment. The discuseion has been very full and able on both sides, for which the Court thanks the coungel. The first question i, Are the acts constitu- tional ? The object of the amendment was_to ?robect all citizens in their right to vote. Be- lore the ect of 1870 four millions of our present citizens wore glaves. Slavery alwavs was a source of trouble, and culminated in civil war. The war roade the slaves citizens. It was necessary to Pp-otect those cit'z:n b y the United States Gov- e:nment in their right to vote againat the prelu- Gices of their former masters. The acts of Congress were passed for this object. They are wige. The Fifteenth Amendment is very broad inits scope. It protects all natives, and for- eigners also are made _citizens. The other amendments did mot meed legislation to enforce them. The Fifteenth did which affected their object by either a criminal proceeding or a civil one. The bill alleges that 10,000 citizens have been deprived of the right to vote, and thab 10,000 votes which would have been cast for tho complainant, are sbout to be_suppressed by an illegal Board. This is supported by 1,000 affida~ vits. Warmoth meels this with only his denial. Hie 2cts since the canvass commenced have shown that the denial is futile. The Constitu- 5f the Returning Board was then s:vised. Herdon was defacto Socretary of State _when Warmoth™ removed him. Ir. all that the Governor alleges ingt Herronbe true, he could only bo dis- placed by judicial proceedings. Herron and Lynch electéd Howkins and Longstreet, which onatitute the legal Board recognized by this Court. The act of Nov. 20, 1872, new Election law, has no effect on this election. The Herron Board must continue to discharge the duties of their office, untiltheir successors are inducted. “The Herron Boerd must finish the canvass, or no Logislature can bs_convened, and they will be protected by this Court. The statutes are ence tho ncts of Congress constitational. The Court_hes jurisdiction. The legal board is Warmoth, Herron, ZLynch, Hawkins, and Longstreet. The question of Kellogg's eligibility is not pertinent here, and will not be passed upon. The opinion of the Court is, however, that he is eligible. The order aad decree of the Court, divested of technical ve-binge, is as follows: K] 1t enjoins Warmoth against canvassing, con- eidering, pretending to canvass, etc., any of the vctes cast at the last election or the returns, or eny returns thereof, exceptin the presence of John Lynch, Jacob Hawkins, James Longstreet, 2ad George E. Bavo, members of the Returning Doard for said election. It prohibits him from submitting any returns to Hatch and Daponta, or any other gemon except Lynch, Hawkins, Longstreet, and Bavo. It prohibitshim from sup- prossing oraltering theTreturnsinany way,or from interfering with the Custom House Board in their canvass. It prohibits him fromrefusing to them any documents they may demand. It for- bids him to issus commissions or to deposit any records or certificates with any public officer, showing the result of the election, without the concurrence of the Custom HouseBoard. Iten- joins Haich, Dsponts, and Whartog in the msnuer praved for in comolainani's bill. It [ orders Warmoth to de; s:t_immedintely, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, all re- iurns or other de¢iments he may haye relating to the election, in order that copies may be mads 0f them, that they may be preserved to bé nsed if necessary. Judge Durrell having fin- ished reading theé decision, ordered the rula for contempt to be continued 1l Mondsy, and the Court to be adjonrned till to-morrow. Mr. Semmessaid: May it please Your Honor, T wish £6 tnter a motion in this matter.” Judge Durrell—“I will hear nothing to-day. 1do not feel well. T canattend to hearing no motion to-day. I will do it to-morrow.” Mr. Semmeg—* Will you allow it to be filed to be considered MD)I(’-IXy 2 Judge Durrell—“1 will not permit it to be filed without I have heard it, and I will not hear it till Monday morning.” The Court then adjourned till to-morrow at 11 o'clock &. m, After the adjournment, Governer Warmoth went to the office of his etforneys, Semmes & Mott, followed by & ¢rowd of about five hundred persons.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, IxND; por1s, Ind., Dec. 6.—In to-day's ses- gion of the North American Bee-Keepers' So- ciety, adulterated honey came up for discussion. MMr. Southworth, of Livingston County, I, stated that he took the first premium at the Illi- nois State Fair, held at Ottawn, on honey that was wholly made from sugar, and that, too, in competition with honey gathered from white clover, basswood, and other natural sources. This announcement astonished the eages of this society, who had supposed that the combs could not be msde from sugar, and we may say that the. phrase “‘bees ather honey * is not quite trae in all respects. Was it sugar or honer, is the conundrum to.bs solved. In connection with this it may be said that at the United States Fair, held in Chicago in 1860, the Loney that took the first premium was made in the sRme manuer—from brown and coffee sugar. It was sugfested _that & hive of ‘bees may be kept in & parior making honey from sugar. Verily this is & new industryto turn over to the bees for winter work. A *question drawer” had been provided, and 3irs. Tupper was eelected to answer the questions. The first question was, Is the Rocky Mountain bee plant profitable to' some for bee forage? She had lanted it for two seasons, and thinks it prom- ises to be vaiuable. It blooms until frost. ¢ How far have Italisn bees been known to fly without setting ?” * Eight miles,” was the reply, according to ber personsl knowledge. Other instances were reported of fifteen miles. ©Why do Itallan swarms leave the parent hive and not fill their gacks with boney before leaving ¥ The fact that they did so was offered s a xep) 2 Wil ixtmctefl honey sour if not_heated ?” She said that it would not. It should not be put into tight_bottles under two or three days. ¢ Can we call swarms back?” A looking-glass ‘may be ueed to throw the rays of the sun amon thew, which will make them alight. Sever: parties’ practice is to shoot & gun in front of the moving awarm, which was said to be effectusl. Y their sack as sweet as honey?” The sweeb of flowers is called honey, but toffee sugar is not honey. The President stated that it was held that the sweet of flowers was changed to honey by the addition of prussic acid, derived from the body of the bee. Other questions were propounded, but most of these have been discussed in * Tho Apiary De- partment” of THE TRIBU: ) The next annual meeting is to be heldat Louis- ville, Kentucky. The morning session was Jargo- 1y occupied in the passege of resolutions, and the closing business of the society. The attendance has been very large andof unusual interest. The atent-hive men and dealers in gueens have had ittle to do at this meeting, and the time has ‘boen occupied in the discusaions of practical sub- jects, Nearly all the railroads bave granted the Tnombers hali-fare, and the hotels have also re- duced their charges. e e Comparative Colton Statement.

One of the Fourth street roflroad lines and the Sixteenth street ne have suspended entirely, and most of the otherroads haye withdrawn several cars. The Ex- press Companies have stopped recei freight at their offices for shipment, but take all that is offered at the different railroad depots, and de- liver parcels and small packages by hand-carte. They are also using oxen to bring freight across theriver. Nearlyall the transfer horses are sick, and they too are using oxen. Several of the Fire Department horses are sick, and Chief Engineer Sexton _will to-morrow, advertise for able bodied men who will be o?mized into companies, placed under pay, and be entirely under his direction and con- trol. In East Lonis there is scarcelys well horsd, and oxen are doing most of the business. Several of the Police Department horses arealso disabled, and the mounted police in the suburbs will be withdrawn to-morrow and the horses ata- bled.. The disease so far, however, has been mild in type, and yields protty readily to proper treatment. No virulent cases are yet developed. WALL STREET.

NEw Yong, Dec. 6.—The stringency in money increased sharply to-dsy. In the morning call loans ranged from 7@1-82.

The flow of cwrency from Boston to New York has abted, and money is still boing shipped West and South. Morcantile paper is dull and nominal, with little inquiry, except for long date. " STOCKS. TThe stock market opened firm, but declined, Pacific Mail and Rock Island falling off over 2 per cent and weakening® the general list. The deciine in Pacific Mail caused some discussion in regard to_the proposed issue of $9,000,000 firsi mortgage bonds, but no new dovelopmenta {ranspired. The rumored issue of new Rock Jsland efock and lease of the road to the Pennsylvania Company, had less currency to-day, and 18 denied by soms of the Directors, Thera were apparently free sales of Rock Islend for long account, and the sudden decline was attributed to this.

It Is Proposed to Make Voting Com- pulsory. Great .Destmcfion by the Floods in Italy. FRANCE. Paris, Dec. 6.—The Governmenial situation at Versailles unsettles business of all kinds throughout the country. The Committee of Thirty, formed yesterdey, Dy the Assembly, is regarded as hostile to the Republic. = Ropublican journals in Paris declare that the Assembly does not represent the will of France, 2nd demand its immediate dissolution. Thiers is expected to resign. The Government will probably make a state- ment at the session of the Assembly to-day, as to the course it intends to take. The Committes of Thirty appointed by the Assembly yesterday, in accordance with the mo- tion of Minister Dufaure, held its first meeting to-day. The following officers were elected : President, Baron DeLarcy ; Vice President, M. Audiffret Pasquier; Secretaries, M.M. Lefevre, Pourteles and Haussmanville. The organization having been completed, the Committes sdjourn- ed to meet on Monday, when they will proceed to business according to the motion by which it wegcreated. The Committee is instructed to draw up b project of 1w dsfining tho responsibility of Ministers and regulating the relations of the several powers of State. It is expected that it will report & bill declaring that any Minister who shall be censured must resign, and exclud- ing the President from debate in the Assembly, but giving him, by way of compensation, a lim- ited veto power. It ie inien'&g) from the politi- cal composition’ of the Committes that any proposition for & dissolution of the Assembly will be rejected, and nothing more radical than & portial renewal of the Chamber once a yeer, or once every two years, will be entertained. The Bien Public’ says the complexion of the Committee makes the sitnation all the more pre- carious. While the Executive and Assembly are eqlunlly ayorse to a coup, the country cannot tolorate the present state of affairs.” It inti- mates that the country should spontaneously intervene, which is interpreted to mean that it should continue to send in petitions in support of Thiers and his Government. 3 Thiers has resolved that there shall be no change in the Ministry until the report of the Committee of Thirty is presented ; then, if the report is unfavorable to him, he will oppose it in the Assembly. An official reception was given at the Execu- tive rosidence last night, which was numerously attended. President Thiers freely conversed with his friends on the political crisis. He re- gretted that a partial renewal of the Assembly seemed impossible, and declared that he waa determined to adhere to the policy announced in his message. At a meeting of the extreme Left to-day, it was decided not to move for a dissolution of the Assembly until the question has been thor- ‘oughly agitated by means of petitions.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, SrriverrELD, IIl, Dec. 6.—The Canal Com- missioners have submitted their arnualreport to the Governor. It isexceedingly full in details of the operations of the canal since the Board of Commissioners have controlled it. It shows that during the trust from June 20, 1845, to April 80, 1871, the Trustees received, on account, $11,009,507.41, and disbursed on account of the Camal, $10,913,765. On the final relinguishment of the Cenal, the Trustees aid to the Commissioners = balance of $92,545.79. The canal property, when received by the Commissioners, which consisted of machinery, tools, buildings, boats, eto., was estimated to be worth $157,809.89. The lessees of the water-power at Lockport and Joliet were bound in their leases to psy_for any sdditional power resulting from the desp-cu The' trustees, thmush their engineer, found that the power at L ort increased the water tax, $2177; at 2m No. Joliet, 8720; st Dam No. 2, Joliet, = $683. The lesse on Daniel Norton's Lots 1 and 6 Block 122, Lockport, was for twenty years at $500 & year, let from March 4, 1853 ; Norton & Co., auré)lns water at Lockport, for twenty years, at $2,177, lot July 1, 1866; G.

Snargen, surplus water, DuPage dam, at 8200 & year, leb Nov. 18, 1872 ; Ottawa Hydraulic Company, sar- plus water at Ottawa, twenty years, at 8750 & year, let May 1, 1872; Daniél Robinson, and others, surplus water at Calumet fifteen {3;;“' at 100 & year in advance, let Dec. 26, The report says the business of the cznal has been much less this year than it will be on an average, the river having been unusually low this season. Tho lock at Henry demonsirates the possibility of improving the whole of the river to make it navigable for the largest steam- ers, with four more locks and dams below Henry, which will not cost to exceed $1,800,000. Thus it will be seen that the cost of the improve- ment of the entire river, 230 miles, being only about $13,000 per mile, will be the least expen- sive work of- its capacity in this or any other country. The total receipts from all sources on the canal from Msay 1, 1871 to November 30, 1872, were £430,862.65; total disbursements for the same time, $427,287.93. OF this sum $238,545.79 was paid into the Btate Treasury. Tho total receipts from dockage at Henry were $8,484.67 ; disbursements on account, 38,148.43. Of this sum, 84,000 was paid into the State easury. From the Iattle Wabash improvement there g;'esoseceivefl and paid into the State Treasury The Commissioners have Feafi pride_in the lock and dam at Henry, and’ submit, with their -report, a large wood-cut engraving of the locks and dam, taken from the Engineer, & scientific paper published in London, and which paper frono\mces it the largest and best constructed lock in the world.

What the Cémpanies Lost by the Hos- ton Fire, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorx, Dec. 6.—A Boston correspondent of the Tribune gives the latest intelligence of insurance losses by the fire in that city. The following is the aggregate: b Ascertained Joss of 42 Massachusetts com- panies. .. cevoses ..$35,351,600 o W York companies, 3,877,000 Ascertained loss of 18 companies of other States and England. 4,992,000 E.-gmmed losses of 27 Estimated losses of 25 companies not - hx;l'i admitted to business in lmz::g:- Bef 8,038,000 aesene 418,000 TOtAl.rsenensnnsssstanssannsssansnss 853,676,600 The corresponpent says the losses have been severely understated, and, iu some cases, the assets and surplus which assured the company’s life were equally overstated from a desire to secure the reputation of having come unharmed out of the fire with the heaviest load. I have before me & Bf.m‘.ersunt of losses of the affected companies, issued a few days after the fire, whioh has had considerable cutrancy i fngacs circles. A comparison instituted between it and the accurate statement of losses shows a differ- ence of from 10 to 100 per cent. The correct re- turns sometimes show an increase over early estimates of $200,000 or $300,000—in cne case bofore me of £400,000. According to this cor respondent, the following New York compasies have each lost over 375,000 by the Boaton fire. ArcHe . civeireniininas Black River, Watertown.

Two members of the recently organized col- ored fire company, whose names, mnfortu- nately, could not be ascertained, entered the saloon of Chapin & Gore, on Monroe street, last evening, and called for drinks. They were informed very courteously that it wasa rule | of the house not to sell liquors to col- ored men over the bar. One of them ap- peared to take the refusal in good part, but the other fellow declared that it wasa direct insult to the whole Fire Department, of which he was proud to be called s member. The well-behaved fireman went to Mr. Gore, and asked him if he would sell him s bottle of whis- key. Mr. Gore said of course he would. The fireman who felt that he had been (iinsn!ted went od : up to his companion, and in &m to buy whiskey of that . Eoro invited hizh o loave the houss, but he refused, saying that “No like Gore” could put bim_out.” Mr. Gore then took him by the collar. and him out- side the door, He returned, however, 2nd repeated the disgusting epithet. Gore be- gan to think it wes getting rather monotonous, and he laid the d fireman out with a well- directed kick. He worked on him for s minute or so0, and was about to put a finishing touch by throwing him into & vacant lot near his saloon when Mr. = Michael Boardman interfered. The disabled fireman was then led away by his companion, Mr, Gore had a finger badly bitten during the disturbance, and lost his valuabls ld watch. He intends toin- torview the Fire Marshal fo-day. = ko i N SEEKING FOR SPOKES. The Sedrch Hesults in a Eiot and Several Arrests. An affray, which in law is called a riot, oc- cuwrred on the corner of Halsted and Fulton streets, yesterday afternoon, and three of the participants were arrested. Policemsn Dargan had & warrant anthorizing him to search the ‘blacksmith-shop of Jacob Bress for some spokes andsprings whichhadbeen stolen. Ho visited the place, the location of which 13 given above, and found property similar to that which he was looking for. Announcing his intention to take possession of it, he proceeded to carry it iato the strect. Just at this moment one George Gloaser, who possesses sufficient knowledge of the law to practice in the Police Courts, came in and advised Bress not fo allow the officer ggt&ke th:gm%ar?.thfis nésmtad him 3§° put e property out o e officer's way. Dargan Grenk fo hatp, Ho mot Poticomen Miller sad Murphy, and acquainted them with his dificulty, and they accompanied him to the shop. The roperty was again taken possession of by ougan, and Bress called his workmen to take it away from him. The men responded, Glosser also taking part, and the three officers were driven off. “One hurried o the Bixth Precinct Station, and a squad of police were soon on their way to the scene. When they reached tho shop tho polies and spring waro Dot there they had been concealed by some one. Bress, Glosser, and J. Hegard were taken into custody and locked up. They are charged with riot_and with interfering, and were released npon givin $500 bail. Bress was held in $1,000 addition: forreceiving stolen property. They will have a hearing this morning. ~ None of the policemen were injured, but nr%i‘hz claims that Glosser choked him and tore off his shirt-collar. BELLIGERENT BOYCE. How the Alleged Poisoner Conducts Hersel in Jail. Those pious little tracts which Mrs. Boycs, the alleged murderess, is said to peruse with such apparent enjoyment, have not improved her violent temper to sny great extent so far. The jail authorities find her more troublesome aud vicious now than ever before. Deputy Sheriff Longley incurred her severe displeasure last evening, for some reason unknown to him, and had to suffer yery serious consequences. Sho abused him with great vigor and brilliancy for nearly an hour, creating so much noise and con- fusion thst nome of the other prisoners conld sleep. He begged of her to desist several times, but this only made matters worse. Finall, he _decided to lock her up in D s dark oell, and, rather than have any trouble with her, he called in Officer Barrett to assist him. As soon as he opened the door of the cell in which she was confined, she hurled abottle at hishead, and then seized him by the throat with both hands, He endeavored to push her off by placing his hand on her face, uf she grabbed his thumb with her teeth, and rendered him powerless. Had not the officer interfered, Ed. would have faxbg_&retty badly in the encounter,as he would not strike thewoman, under eny circumatances. She was removed to the dark cell at last, where she amused herself during the night by screnmmglat the top of her voice and banging & movable iron bedstead against the door. —_—————— MISCELLANEOUS CITY ITEMS.
