NRw ORLEANS, July 3l.-Ihe Su-
preme Court of Jhe State now sitting
at Monroe has rendered decisions
aYerse 10 the power OF removing the
appointment Of State and other Off
GERS. which has been fully exercised
by Gov. WarmOth in the case of the
Mayor Of JeiieFsOn City. The Court
decides that no vdcancy existed and
the Governor has no power TO aP-
point. The Parish Judge, removed
by Gov. WarmOih on the ground that
fhe incumbent had not iiled eligibil-
ity oath with the Secretary of state
and because of Illegal disqualification
under the Fourteenth Amendment,
the Court decides that the act of the
Governor removing the Judge was
without authority. The section of the
act comforting the power of removal
being unconstitutional, and that
Judges must be removed in the man
ner pointed out by The Constitution,
and their eligibility must be deier=
mined by the Judiciary. Tie Court
orders that the Judge removed by the
Governor shall retain his Office,
