AT THE CAPITAL.
ny nrR owN REPoRTER.

cuIated that the Court would decide the
Bushnell-Ianeston, and the johnson haeeoS
corpus cases. at ten A. M. this morning, some
excitement existed on the streets and in pub
lie places. With feeling of interest in the
result, the Court of Common Pleas last even
ing adjourned to Monday morning, and at an
early hour the Supreme Court room in the
capitol was thronged. At half-past ten Chiei
Justice Swan entered the Court room, and
without formally opening Court informed the
crowd in attendance that the cases would t'ot
be disposed of until Monday at three P. M,
assigning as a reason that it was the intention
to deliver written opinions, and the tinle
since the arguments had proved insufficient.
A large number of ladies were in attendance,
and the disappointment was felt to be Sc
rious.
What will be done in the premisesH is q
question frequently asked, and seldom an
swored to the satisfaction Of the qucstioner.
It is said that tho Court will release the priso-
ners; that the Federal official will re-srrest, or
attempt to do so when "mill" may follow in
which political feelings and prejudioes will be
the hackers. For our own part, we anticipate
no suci. result. As we have before predicted,
the Court finds it difficult matter to arrange
the nroOrAr. me so that the tastes of all may be
suited. "Two heads are better than one," ergo,
three hoJs are better than two; but the trio
would much prefer having the twain united
with it, if never after wards, at least in this
perplexing predicament whl,n the eyes OF tho
citizens of Ohio, of all parties, Glasses and
casts are directed to the Supreme Be. non Tor the
decision of point which, be it what u may,
must effect the entire community and not only
the political party which feels its in6rmities
and would show another shock, but the party
dominant of whose completion the Supreme
Bench takes its hue.

minor, against Koons ct. al, School Directors
of District No. 8. Plain Township. was tried
and submitted to the jury. The action was

sealed verdict to the clerk.

cheapness of the route.
