rae Blnek Crook Tniunctlon Case.


Ex-Governor J. B. Weller and M. N. Co.
hen, ESQ, yesterday submitted to Judge
Durell, i'll the United States circuit court,
their report US experts in the Black Crook
Injunction case. This report was quite
long and very learned, going into the case
with a minuteness of detail and closeness of
research which proved that the legal gentle
men had made good use of their permission
to visit the theatres There can be no
question that the experts thoroughly in
formed themselves 10th as to the facts and
the law in the case. They reported, sub
stantially, that although there was
q similarity as to some of the scenery,
the crags, cascades, transformation
scenes, etc, yet they could not
discover that any Infringement of right
under the laws OF congress had taken place.
In order to secure a right of property in AZ
invention of the kind in question, a picture,
drawing or engraving must first be made
and filed in the patent office and the Smith
sonian institution at Washington. 1t ap.
pears that this preliminary step has not
been taken. In the opinion of the experts,
several of the scenes in the Black Crook
have heretofore been used on the stage
both in Europe and America. And especial
mention is made of the famous transforms
| ton scene at the close of the spectacle. 1t
is said this scene was presented
on Que of the stages of London
many years ago, Judge Durell ordered the
report to be received, and the petition for
| an Injunction to be denied. There is a suit
| pending between the parties, and the in
| junction was prayed for to restrain the pro-
prietors of the Academy of Music until this
cause could be decided. 1t is thought that
Judge Durelrs decision in the case above
mentioned may cause the withdrawal of the
other suit.
The RRpe Case.
The two young police officers, Mckenna
| and Sutherland were arraigned before Re-
cOrder Neville last evening for examination.
| 1t appeared from the evidence that the fe-
males upon whom the offense is alleged to
have been committed were net of unexcep-
| tionable character, and the evidence of the
| youngest and better looking of the females
| clearly acquitted the young man Sutherland
/ of any other than persuasive attempts upon
| her person. His honor sent McKenna be-
fore the first district court under bonds of
$1,000, and released Sutherland from Gus.

Fhe Conventional Full Attendance
Union lement Slightly DemOPal-
lied, DC

ATLANTA, January 9.-The Con
vention met to-day with full attend
ance of members. The Union ele-
ment was slightly demoralized by the
removal of Gen Pope, but has fully
recovered its spirits, and is prepared
again to do yecman service in battling
the foe
No important business was done.
Mr.. Ashburn introduced an ordinance
declaring all civil offices vacated after
February 1st, and providing for fill
ing the same by vote of the Conyen-
ton. The Chair ruled it out OF order
as being a matter Of a legislative
character, and Mr. Ashburn gave no.
tice that he would to- morrow move to
amend the rules so as to enable it to
be introduced.
The measure is unwise, however
The Convention has no power at pres
ent, and [ think that, instead of pass
ing Ashburn's proposition, the body
will tomorrow adopt resolution ask
ing Congress to confer on it power to
remove the present State officers and
establish loyal provisional govern
ment. Union men are united in the
opinion that Congress should give
this power to the Southern Conven-
tions, to enable them to counteract
the neiarious programme of Andy
Johnson.
The Committee on the Executive
Department reported to day. The
only material change they propose
from the old Constitution is to make
the Governors term of Office four
years, instead of two.
Mr.. Minor, of Fayette, sought for
Democratic notoriety by offering re-
solutions asking Congress to repeal
all political disabilities, and remuner-
ate the people of Georgia for all the
losses they sustained during the war,
whether from the United States or
rebel armies.
Mr.. Parrott, the President, intro
duced resolution asking Congress to
abolish the test oath.

Boards of the State to various per-
sons to aid military operations during

A lengthy discussion arose on the

port of the Superintendent of Public

The House concurred in the Senate

In a series of resolutions offered
by Mr.. Bush were the following:
That it is a recognized fact, demon
strated by recent events. that. State

the Federal Government expel a
State; that Congress has no right to
regulate the qualification of repre-
sentatives in Congress; that each
State has the exclusive right to regu-
late the matter Of suffrage; that the
scheme of reconstruction adopted by
Congress is fraught with mischief;
that this is a white mans Govern
ment, made by white men for white men
and that we are opposed to extend.
ing any political rights, power or au-
thority to any other race; that the
public debt incurred by the Federal
Government in suppressing the rebel
lion should be paid off as rapidly as
possible in legal tender Treasury
notes, except such bonds only which
contain an expressed stipulation for
payment In coin; that the people of
Kentucky neither seek nor desire, by
force or violence, the correction of
any grievances or abuses committed
by the Federal Government; that
they rely, with confidence, exclusive
ly upon the peaceful influence of en-
lightened craftsmanship and the bal
lot-box.

night, it was resolved that no petit
tions asking for political privileges to
