MESSRS, ROUTWEEL AND SULLARARGER, COUNSEL FOK THE STATR OF OHIO, WILL FILE THE PAPERS THIS AFTERNOON, Gen. Boynton, acting for Gov, Foraker, of Ohio, has engaged the services of Ex-Gov. Boutwell and Judge Shellabarger to enter legal proceeding’s to prevent the War Department from returning the Confederate battle Mags to the Southern States. ‘The newspaper reports of the action of the War Department in ordering the re- turn of the flags resulted in a petition to Gov. Foraker from Ohto Wrand Army posts, claiming to represent thirty thousand soldiers, asking him to take some action toprevent the Secretary of War from carrying out that inten- tion. Governor Foraker thereupon telegraphed a protest to’the President, and telegraphed to Gen. Boynton, the correspondent of the Cincinnat! Commercial-Gasette asking him to secure the services of the Vest legal talent to institute proceedings at once in the courts here to enjoin the secretary of ME Le Jags ag Were captured by the Onto troops. Gov. Boutwell and Judge Shellebarger held a consuitation tills morning, and_nearly completed the preparation of tne ‘papers to Me with the court, asking for a Writ of mandamus requiring the Secretary of War to appear and show cause Why he should not be enjoined trom disposing of Government property without authority of Con- gress, and reciting what the pi ta Judge Shellabarger was busy with unother cage, how- ever, and ‘the could noi be completed in time to Mle before the court adjourned, but they expect to Mle them In chambers after 3 o'clock. ADJUTANT GENERAL DRUM SAID TO-DAY that the project of returning to the Southern States all the flags, standards and colors which Were captured by the Union army was not the result of @ request, or even a suggestion of any individual or officlal 4 the south. “He was simply carrying out the wishes of the President in the ‘matter. The Uist aud | description of the Sage ie, being pared in the War Departmen’ o Uhere belng'a good deai inore work counegted Sith She matter than was expected it may be a week Defore the list 1s completed, AT THE WHJTR HOUSE it is learned that the President gave no formal ordersin the matters, but it was not known whether he gave any verbal instructions or not. General Drum has visited the Waite House several Umes lately, and it is presumed he received bis in- structions direct from the President, He sald to-day that the Department would not dare to follow such a course without authority from the President. ‘The flags in question are boxed up in the basement and garret of the War De- Partnent and are gradually roiting to pieces, hey ‘were stored there under authority of the law of April 18, 1814, which provides that “The Secre- tary of War ‘shall trom time to time cause to be collected and transmitted to him, at the seat of Government, all such flags; standards and colors as are taken’by the Army from the enemies of the United stat ‘The place of action of the State of Ohio to com- pel the Secretary uf war to show cause why he Should return without authority of law flags, &., which Were intrusted to his care by law, creates @ good deal of talk. The law which tntrusted thei to him is that quoted above, and Gen, Drum Says the right to dispose of ‘them will prob- ably hinge on the question whether the Southern Army shall be considered an “enemy of the United states.” In the mean time, the lst of flags will be prepared and the flags distributed to ‘thelr original owners, EX-SECRETARY BOUTWELI ‘Was found in his oflice, on New York avenue, busy over the papers in the case. “We have been asked,” he said, “to represent the State, and I suppose we will file some papers, but nothing has bern done yet. We willeonuider the maviers We do not Know Yet just what course we will pursue.” ‘THE PETITION when filed will be introduced by an affidavit from Gen, H. Y. Boynton, setting forth that he has inquired at the War Department and learned that tt 1g the intention of that de- Parument to dispose of the flags as stated. Gen. Boynton swid this afternonn that he expected all the papers would be completed und be ready this evening to be filed. “Iv wil be,” Le sald, “in the form of a petition for a mandamus to enjoin the Secretary of War from dispossing of these lage, on the ground that he can- not dispose of public property with- out the authority of Congress, = We have a precedent for this in the case of a New York reginent whose flag was captured by the’ Confederates, "Afterward the flag was ~ recaptured by a Federal force, and in course of ime was deposited In the War Department. It was returned to the New York Tegiment by aspecial act Of Congress. Congress then assumed that this matter Was in its control only. ‘This property was deposited 1a the War Departinent by authority of Congress and can ve taken away only by the same authority Candidates for Justice Wood's Place. WHAT JUSTICE FIELD SAYS. if A special from San Francisco, June 15, to the New York Tribune says: Justice Field, who 1s in this city, says concerning the vacancy on the Su- preme Bench, that the impression prevails that Justice Wood's successor will be selected from the cireuit which he represented on the bench. This circuit embraces Texas, Louisiana, Mississtppt, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The most prom inent candidates are Senator Morgan, of Alabama; Secretary Lamar, and Thomas T.' Semmes, of Louisiatia, He tought the choice would fail’ be- tween Lamar and Morgan. Speaking of the accu- Inulation of business iu the Supreme Court, he sald that when the recess began there were 800 cases which had not been reached. It will take more than two Years to dispose of cases now on the calendar. Two measures of relief had been Suggested, one to allow the justice to sit asa quorum, thus doubling the working power of tae courts, and the other to divide up the circuits, tn- creasing the number from nine to eighteen, sisters District Government Affairs.

First Controller Durham notified the District Coumntssicners to-day that the account between the United States and the District of Columbia for ‘one-hulf of the cost of completion of the sewerage system of the District has been settled and found to be balanced. The amount involved was $500,000, of | which the District. was charged with $250,000, which was payable in five Years at the rate of $50,000 per annum.

Griffin Favors the Adoption of the European Syutems, Capt. Eugene Grifiin, of the engineer department of the District government, thinks that there 1s not @ decent form of street-car rail In use in this country. In speaking of the matter, he said to a ‘STAR reporter to-day that in Europe the practice is to lay @ permanent rall; that is, cast-tron rail which is imbedded tn concrete. ‘This rail has a steel face which is detachable, "The face is attached to the rail by means of A screw which passes into a hol low chamber in the rail where the nut is j Serewed on. When this has been done the cham- ber is filled with cement, and thus the face is se- curely xed to the rail. "The feature of these rails which commends them for ‘use, ie that when it becomes necessary to replace the Tall ‘that has to be done ts to Unscrew the bolts the nuts and aMx a new face. By this means the pavement remains intact and as. matter of course its durability — 1s one hundred per cent greater. The objections to ‘the present fora of ratl, says Capt. Griffin, Is that ‘the Use of timber involves decay and constant re- newals. To renew a track—which necessarily oc- curs about every eight years—it is necessary to {ear up the street pavement to a distance of one to three feet on each side of the track, More- over, it is objectionable becanse it does not make es smooth a surface. In the first kind re. ferred to, when the face has been attached tothe rall the pavement is laid flush to its 4 and presents a perfectly even surface, which wil not wreck the wheels as does the present: form of ratis, The first cost of these rails is greater than any other, but this is offset by the fact that the cost of maintenance and repairs is exceedingly small. ae An Alleged Villainous Outrage. THE CRIME OF WHICH TWO WOMEN ACCUSE FRED- ERICK JENNINGS. In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, this morning, the case of Frederick Jennings, a stal- wart young colored man from Montgomery County, Md., against whom was two indictments, charging him (and one John Smith, who has not been arrested) with having outraged Cora Smith and Martha Craig, and with assault with Intent to outrage Cora Smith and Martha Cratg on the 11th of February last, was called for trial—Maj. J.
