States Court to day, Chief Justice
Chase presiding, the same questions
were at issue as before the Supreme
Court of Baltimore City, viz. the free
dom from arrest of member of Con
gress, and whether a writ in civil
suit to arrest. This point this morn
ing was argued on demurrer to the
plea in abatement. At the conelu-
sion of the argument, the court re-
served its decision until tomorrow
morning, but infimated the case could
go on a plea Of limitation under the
act of Congress of 1868; that cause
of action had not occurred with
in two years before the suit was
brought. It was next demurred to
bv the plaintiffs, aud after argument
the demurrer was overruled. The
plaintiffs then fled a special replica
ttion that cause of action was not
within the description of cases men
toned in the act of Congress. The
defendants demurred to this replica
ton. General Butler opened the
argument on the demurrer, and was
replied to by Mr. Addison.
