WASHINGTON, April 5.-In the Supreme
Court to-day Judge Sharkey gave notice
Of a motion for preliminary injunction
against Andrew Johnson, president, and
General Ord, commander of the military
district comprising Mississippi. 1t is stated
that the Injunction is founded on bill in
equity. The bill he proposed TO file was
brought by the State of Mississippi as
complainant against the parties named to
enjoin them from executing the acts of
Congress recently passed called the Mill
tary Bill and the Supplemental Bill.
Acknowledgement Stanbery suggested
that as it was case involving the original
jurisdiction Of the court, the motion in the
first place should be for leave to file bill.
Judge Sharkey acquiesced, and said the
counsel for Mississippi would now file the
bill, and were ready to argue it.
The Acknowledgement said he contended
the bill, in SO far as it purported to make
the President a party defendant, was in
effect suit against the United States, and
he would therefore object to leave being
given by the court to file the bill; and he
further stated that he also was ready now
TO 90 into an argument of the motion.
The Chief Justice, after consultation,
stated that the motion for leave to file the
bill might be made and put on the motion
docket, but, in conformity with the rule of
the court, would not be heard until the
next regular motion day.
This motion will therefore come up on
Friday next.
