legal opinion showing that in the recent
conflict of jurisdiction in Pennsylvania
between the State court and the naval au-
thorities, the local court had no authority

service.

clerks, whose services can be possibly dis
pensed with, or whose places can't supplied
by enlisted men without detriment to the
service. Hereafter no civilian will be en-
ployed except in case of absolute neces-

The opinion is generally entertained
here that the result of the Louisiana cleo
tions held yesterday and the day before,
will be majority of all the registered vo-
tiers in favor of convention, notwith-
standing the news from New Orleans,
which does not warrant such an opinion.
