THE WAR OFFICE.
THE WRIT OF QUO wARRANrO.
THE PRESIDENT HAS ORDERED AP.
PLICATION FOR THE WRIT
TO BE MADE.


There is but little doubt that the President
has directed that a writ Of quo soarranto be ap-
piled for to cause Mr. Stanton TO appear in
court and show by what authority he holds the
office of Secretary of War, but up to two o'clock
to-day the application had not been made to
the courts of the District The writ is so sell
dom used in this District and Maryland that
there are but few acquainted with the course
of proceedings incidental thereto, and there is
some diversity Of opinion on the subject
1t is held by many, and we believe by
some of the justices of the District
Supreme Court that the first step is taken
by the Attorney General or District Attorney
who comes into open court and files informa-
ton in which is set out all the facts, with Pc
ttion for the issuance of a writ of quo soarranto
in the name of the Government, TO show by
what authority the individual holds Office The
Court examines into the facts set forth. and
orders the writ to issu dsmisses the in NORMA
ton. The counsel may argue at this point the
question whether the writ shall Issue. II the
writ is ordered to issu ue, the court fixes day on
which the party appears, and testimony is then
taken and the questions involved are argued
BY some again it is held that an affidavit must
be filed and leave obtained In open court to file
ps ution for the writ. Others again hold that
on the filing OF information by the Attorney
General er offeio, or the District Attorney, the
citation or rule issues as a matter OF course.
The officer files his answer thus joining is
sue. and the case is heard, when testimony is
taken and judgment given, either dismissing
the information or giving judgment against the
officer.
The application had not been made up to 3
O'Clock. at which time it was certain that il
would not be made to-day
1t Is understood, however, that the papers
have been prepared in the case
