Marshal Goodlow, of North Carolina, has
reported 10 the Attorney General that the
process Of the United States Court. lately
held by Chief Justice Chase. is obstructed
by order Of Lieut. Col. Frank, commanding
the post of Wilmington. The ground is

Gen. ,ickle's order, No l0S having forbid.
den Judges to entertain any suits for mat
tiers Occurring between those dates. The
Marshal supposes that Gen. Sickles did not
mean TO include the Courts of the United

command. Col Frank interprets the order
differently. Marshal Goodlow has suspend
ed action until he hears further from Gen.
Sicklc's or receives instruction from Wash

lice Chase. is in Washington. This matter
! is regarded as very grave event, although
the impression prevails that the Comman-
dant a. Wilmington, acted withou: knowl-
edge of Gen Sickles, who is expected 10
disapprove his action. The Marshal's course
has been approved al the Attorney Gener
