VintOn County Contested Election
Case Of County Treasurer.
. In this case, Henry Reynolds,
Democrat, was the contestant, and
gave notice under the Statute to
John p. Dunkle, Republican, who
was declared duly elected by the
canvassers of the election, by a
majority Of three votes. His Hon
or, L. a. Guthrie, held that the
Statute relating to such contests,
which requires the contestant to
give the contestcc written notice,
expressing the points on which
the same will be contested does
not require the contestant to spec
ify the items Of evidence he will
adduce in support Of such points !;
and that a notice which states that
such election will be contested on
the ground that a certain number
Ofillegal votes were cast and count
ed for, and allowed to the cOntestee,
in a specified election precinct or
township, is sufficient, without Civ
ing the names of such voters or
the grounds of their illegality; the
Court holding the notice of appeal
and notice TO the conLcstee in this
case good. The Court also he'd
that the following persons were IL
legal voters, so proyedby Mr.. Rey-

But better even thus than that she should

That his good, were all purchased with sill

A Great and Solemn Occasion.

A Great and Solemn Occasion.
The National Intelligencer tells
lis that the room Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, at Wash
ington, was, on Friday last, a scene
Of interest to those who care to
save any relic of our form of Con
stitutional government. Eminent
jurists and statesmen were present
besides those who, as judges or
counsel took part in the great occa'
sion that occupied the considera'
ton of the Court. The occasion
was the application made by two
sovereign States of the Union to the
highest Judicial tribunal in the
country, to prevent great wrong
being perpetrated on their people
by the execution Of certian acts Of
Congress.
The Attorney general dll not ar.
que the conslitutionalily of the
LAM complained OF, but contented
himself with denying the jurisdic-
lion Of the Court--on two grounds,
technical and political. Before the
late war, the Southern Stetes, and
Northern ones. too, held that in the
last resor. the States themselves
were the proper judges of great pol
i,ical infractions of the Constitu-
ton, and OF the mode and manner
of redress. We have been told
that the war annihila;ed that re-
medy; it having, by the most sol
emn of all appeals, been decided
that States are not the final judges
in their own case. If that IS so, to
what tribunal must they appeal to
prevent unjust legislation, if not to
the highest judicial tribunal Of the
country?
twas one of the most solemn oc-
casions in the history of the coun
try, and the decision of the Court
will be looked for with the most
profound interest," Gin. Enqr
