Robert J. Brent, Esq., opened the case for the defendant; claimed that the plaintiff was not entitled to relief; that this case had been pre- sented before the State courts and his claim denied; that the subject was mot in the juris- diction’ of the Federal court, because the de- fendant was in possession of the property as an officer of the State court, and the Federal court had now power to enjoin officers of Siate courts. ‘The court adjourned to meet at ten e’clock is morning. Colonel Magruder will conclude the argument for the defendant, and Governor Wells will close the whole case. PETE Le the People. MR.

I did not expect the | to endorse my remarks, but was will- ing and still am willing to take the entire re- sponsibility upon myself. Mr. Lewis states that my remarks were in bad taste. It so, then it was in bad taste for the meeting to applaud those remarks.
