There was much unnecessary excitement
attendant upon the execution of the orders
Of the Eighth District Court upon acting
Governor Pinchback yesterday. The Gov
ernor having signed the act which abolished
the Eighth District Court, which was to 90
into effect Immediately, put an extinguisher
over that tribunal and snufed it out as
completely as if it had never been created.
Such are the views held by Governor Pinch
back and his advisers. Consequently Dep
uty Sheriff Dick, when he called with pro-
cess, received a fat refusal to obey its man
date. An order of arrest for contempt was
issued and served by Mr.. Dick yesterday at
two o'clock, but Governor Pinchback re-
fused to be arrested. And then the coram
non judiee proceeded, on the motion of
Judge Howe, of counsel. to order tho per
emptory arrest of Governor Pinch back.
The answer of the latter to the order served
was that Elmore was not judge. But at
last accounts no arrest had been made, as a
force of deputies and troops were at the In
stitute expressly to see that no such trick
could be successfully played.

Writs of Prohibition.
Among the many questions pulling the
lawyers and judges Of late was one quite
recently addressed to a prominent and
shining light of the legal professional gen
tleman somewhat familiar and skilled in
constitutional law and proceedings in
United States courts.
The question was, if. the Supreme Court
Of the United States could not issue a writ
Of prohibition, to arrest the proceedings
arising from the infamous decisions of
Judge Durell, of the United States District
Court, in the contested election cases ?
The learned gentleman replied that the
Supreme Court Of the United States had
only limited powers of jurisdiction, and
that even that high tribunal had it's powers
Cireumscribed in matters Of writs of prohi-
bition. That in order to reach the jurisdio-
ton of the court in this case it would be
necessary to represent that they are "cap-
sized" claimants to office, that they had got
SO far out to sea with the ship of State as to
have totally lost their reckoning, compass,
rudder, chain, anchor; that the ship is on
her beam ends, in danger Of laundering,
and they came into court to claim protec-
ton under ga proceeding in admiralty"
such as is vouchsafed by the laws and col.
stitution of the United States to injunct cit
liens in case of maritime disasters"

The argument yesterday in the case OF

Court of the United States at Washington,
possesses a more than ordinary interest in
consequence of the eminent ability of the
counsel representing Mr.. Kellogg, We
mean Hon. Caleb Cushing and Hon. Matt
Carpenter. Mr. Phillips, formerly of Ala

candidate for Attorney General of Louisi-

OPINION OF PROMINENT LAWYERS
THE WORLD ON AN ALLY
Especial to the New Orleans Republican,

Hon. Caleb Gushing and Senator Matt
Carpenter appeared to-day, in the Supreme
Court, for Kellogg. They made clear and
| convincing arguments, that during the PEN
dency of suit IN the district court, no ac-
ton could be taken in the Supreme Court,
nor was it necessary.
Hon. Thomas j. Duranb declines to argue
the case tor Attorney General Field until a
decision is rendered as to the application
for the wris of prohibition.
The case was taken under advisement,
and will probably be decided Monday, if
not before
All the prominent lawyers who heard the
arguments are satisfied that the court will
hold that it has no power to grant the writ
of prohibition.
The arguments of Phillips and Ogden
were very weak. They cut sorry figure
beside such eminent counsel as Carpenter
and Cushing.
The New York Wor8's leader of yester-
day recommends to Democrats and Liberals
to discontinue any further defense of Gov
ernor Warmoth 1t says Warmoth is too
heavy load tor Democrats to carry.
