New York EIection-VaIidity of the
United States Law.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.
Judge Woodruff's decisions in the
United States Circuit Court to-day, over
ruled the demurrer to the indictment
against Quinn as registration repeater,
and sustained the constitutionslity of
| the New Congressional election law. He
discussed only the Goth section of the act,
which relates solely to the matter of regis
tration, and does not touch any of the
numerous questions which may come up
under this section in this or other states
The Judge cites four points of the consti-
tuition under which it is claimed that
Congress has the right to make and en-
force laws, and shows briefly that the
claims are well grounded, and the pro-
visions of the section under which the in
dictment is drawn is fully authorised by
the constitution. The act does not affect
the qualifications of voters, nor anywhere
impose any unlawful conditions or even
in any way a,-'idge or modify the quaIi-
ficstions of voters required by the State
laws of New York.
If State laws relating to time place and
manner of holding elections become in
operative and honest elections under them
impossible then Congress has right to
enforce such laws in relation to election
of representatives to Congress, and iDfict
penalties for their violation. Judge
Woodruff said he was not prepared to say
that Congress could not legally make
national registration law to apply to the
whole of the United States.
Quinn will be sentenced tomorrow ", and
the trial of four more repeaters are set
down for Friday.
Stoughton the counsel for the defence
said : He thought this rapid proceeding
was unusaL.
Judge Woodruff replied he was not
aware it was unusal to arrest, try, and
convict criminals with the greatest posi-
BILE dispatch. 1t was consistent with the
ends of justice.
Caleb Cussing was sworn in this morn
ing as special District Attorney, to assist
In the trial OF election cases.
Suppression of DistiIIeries-SeriO
Riots.

The Internal Revenue officers aided by
force of $500 United States marines
and regulars made grand raid to-day on
Illicit whiskey distilleries in the Fifth
Ward of Brooklyn, and captured and

ployed several hours in pumping out the
contents of the stills and washtubs which
afterwards were completely demolished
by large force Of laborers accompanying

the mob hurled several vollies of stones,
brickbats and other missiles upon the
marines under Col. Brown. but were rout-
ed by bayonet charge. Col. Brown then
warned the crowd that the troops would
fire if any further violence was offered,
but they were not az - molesled. As
SCISSOR butcher was hit twice by flying
bricks.

their ability to hold out for weeks, Per
haps months. The supply of fresh meat
is said to be sufficient to last until Deem

seems, however, that the stores are not
iudiciously distributed. On the 25th ult.

ton rushed into the market en- masse,
clamorous to be supplied with meat. The

THE RUMORED MASSACRE AT METZ -BA-

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.
The Worlds London special says the
tatement of the French officer of the En-
gineers concerning the massacre of fam
ished men, women and children before
Metz by the Prussians, has been confirmed
by an official communication published in
the Independence Mosselle. On October
10Th Bazaine called together his of6cers,
and informed them of the details of Gen
Boyers. showing that Bismarck desired to
terminate the war, but had no Govern
ment in France to deal with. He in
formed them that Boyer was before the
Council of War, at which Moltke declared
the military negotiations would be easily
arranged, but Bismarck said "The
political view must take the lead. 1 am
inclined to allow the army at Metz to
withdraw to an appointed place in French
ter ritory, and protect there all delibera-
tons of peace" Bazaine then dwelt upon
the anarchy throughout France, and pre-
dicted that the army must separate its
cause from that of Metz. He forbade dis
eussion upon his speech among his Off
GERS.
METZ NOT SURRENDERED BIT OF
FRENCH NEWS.
TOURS, Nov. 2.
A dispatch has been received here from
Arlon, Belgium, which announces that
Metz has not capitulated; that is, the
garrisons, forts and towns refuse to agree
to the cspitulation of Bazaine, and the
Prussians resume their position about the
place.
