THE CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Joy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The Supreme Court
held consultation to-day aud IL is reported that the
Louisiana case argued yesterday considered at
length. The gereral impression among lawyers s that
the opinion OF che Court, which will be delivered on
Monday will take the ground that the Supreme Court
has jurisdiction 10 issue TO Circuit District Court
writ OF prohibition except when the inferior court is
been appealed 10 the Supreme Court and the writ rs IN
aid Of the appeal There has been some msapprehen-
sion in regard 20 the exact question that was argued De
fore the supreme Court yesterday. MarnOihs peutOn
asks for order restraining the Circuit Court,
Kellogg against warmoti the ground that Darrell had
usurped jurisdiction not given 70 circuit court by law
The question before the Supreme Court was, therefore,
twofod First, whether II has power TO Issue such an
order in the form OF writ of prohibition TO the Circuit
0ndy the question OF fact to the legality OF Judge

the merits OF only incidental Ehe opinion Uf
the Court therefore not expected TO touch the legal
Ity Judge Durels proceedings at ALL The only way,
probably, in which Judge DuelPs proceedings can be
reviewed is appeal 20 the Supreme Court, but,
under the law this only be done after the Circuit
Court has rendered its final decision Kellogg can,
therefore prevent review ever taking place. by pre-
venting action in the Circuit Court until he has the
state firmly in his hands and then Withdrawing his
suit. There is much doubt among prominent lawyers
whether Judge Durel would be sustained by the su-
pene Court could the merits OF the case come :ary De-
fore that tribunal.
