Secretary of War. Gen. Grant, and
Gen. Ord--we havca bill to conform
to tho decision Of tho Court. We be-
lieve it is similar to the bill already
in the case Of Georgia.
Chief Justice-It may be filed.
NJ. OgoHner-If your honor
pie, ses in the case Of Georgia hav-
ing given notice for an injunction,
we beg il may be placed en- cal and
also that in the course Of the next
mot on day it.be heard, if convenient
and the Court will permit.
Attorney Gencral-May it please
your honor after looking into the
bill carefully ! have come to the con-
clusion that it is my duty to appear
in this case in my official capacity.
1t is duty [ would not seek, but is
one that / cannot avoid, and upon
examining the bill | have made up
my mind that the proper course for
me 10 lake in the first place, is to
move this court to dismiss the bill in
the case ofthe State of Georgia, aud
also in tho case of the State ofMiss-
issippi, on the ground of a want of
Jurisdiction in THE court. | advised
the gentlemen this morning that !
would make such motion. Indeed
l have handed them notice Of it, and
the only matter to be arranged is the
timc ut which the court
will hear it. In tho notice Of the
motion, I have designated Friday
week as tho day on which l will be
able to take NIP the motion. I un-
derstand from the opposite counsel
/ that that day will suit them.
! Mr., Walker-Do you mako the
1 motion in both cases?
/ Atty. Gen'l-It is the Same mo-
Etion. The casoof Georgia comes first
however. 4
II Mr.. Connor-These motions arc
/ of character that involves essenti-
ally the same questions, and can very
conveniently, ! suppose, be hoard to-
getherein any, order that the cou.4
! may direct, and any order viii DC
, agreeable to me and my associates
Tho time designated by the Attorney
General is the same time that we de
signated on our part, and if the sug
gestion he has made be agreeable tt
! the court, NC may be understood, i
t that is Of any Importance, as agree
ing to it. u
. Atty Genl-T think that it will
4 DO quite enough at one time to die
cnss questions ofjurisdiction ON til,

y Chief usticc-Tho motion for al
! injunction could moi. be heard unless
the Attorney General appeared ant

miss can be heard at any time. Eacl
i motion involves the other. TIL,
: court will comply with the suggestion
; of counsel, and fix tho hearing Of tn
e motion to dismiss the bill for Fridal
j week, the Goth. We will make tina

: identically the same matter, but .
presume our motion for an injunction

Mr. Walker-I md erstand, if, the
n court please, that the Attorney Gen
q eral is willing to hear these Two ca
/ ses together, as they involve thu
same question. We woull enter
1 the same motion for an injunction
( that is entered in the ether case

, may be entered if it is understood
n that the two cases are to .e heard to.
gether. The Court will consider
them as one case and hear the coun-
sci OF but one case on both sides.
, Mr.. OConnOr-I regret somew hat
the determinations that one counsel
of one side can be heard.
4 Chief Jpstice-The Court, have
considered that matter and thinks
but 0 single question is involved, and
that the ordinary rule must be enfor-
ced. y -y1w 800 w s-,se

ses arc entirely separated, and tho
Court has had sufficient evidence, ~
its p, oceeding, and upon tho record
that the cases arc scperate and Yccn-
Quoted by different counsels. and
