The great case Of the injunction against
the PRONUNCIATION by the Governors board

crowd about the precincts of the courtroom,
that surged in great volume up and down
the stairways and along the sidewalk from
the postoffice corner to the stairway and

Warmoth ct ais, of the returning board,
are now and, at all times since the making
and service of the returning order, have
been acting in disregard and disobedience
thereof in contempt Of the lawful orders OF
this court, and have aided, abeSted and
countenanced the continual possession, Gus
tOdv and canvass of the returns, certificates
of offices connected with such election by
persons other than the said Lynch, Long
street, Heron and Hawkins"
And upon this affidavit the following or
del was granted:
Circuit Court of the United States, Dis
trict of Louisiana.-WillIam ?. Kellogg
vs., H. c. WarmOth.-On motion of J. Il.
Beckwith and William Fl. Hunt, solicitors
for complainant, and on suggesting to the
court that the said defendant to, II. G. War
moth ct ais, are and have been acting in
contempt of the orders of this court in this
case and in disoDedience thereof, it is or
dered that the said defendants above named
do show caase on Friday, the twenty-seeond
of November, 1872, why they should not be
punished for contempt of court, and that
the complainant have leave to file interr0g-
atories addressed to said defendants and
each of them touching any dlsobedlence OF
the orders of this court heretofore made in
this cause, and that the said defendants be
required to answer such heterogeneous In
writing under oath before touching any
other proceedings in this cause.
Attached to the case are number of aft
davits, going to show the truth of the
allegations upon either side, and backing up
the original bill in equity as well as running
counter thereto.
Before United States Commissioner Wei
Ter II. G. Warmoth accompanied by George
A. Sheridan, appeared and filed an afi-
davit, which, traversing the entire bill
brought on Saturday by Kellogg, denied
every allegation there made, and supported
the denial by attidavits, records and tran
scripts. On the other hand the averments
in the chancery bill were backed up by the
af1idavits OF G. C. Antoine, and others in
great number, while from the outside" it
is whispered there are at least 5000 Of these
affidavits going to show refusal to register
and denial of the franchise.
In this manner the case rests until Friday
morning
