TIE RETURNING ROARD CONTRO.
EERSY.
Kellogg vs.. Warmoth-The Right TO an
Injunction - Hearing Before Judge
DHreii Re esHmed.


logg against H. G. Warmoth ct ais. was re-
sulned before the United States Circuit
Court. Again, as on the first dag of the ar
| gument, large crowd assembled, swarm
ing II the lobby and filing the chairs of the
auditorium, 60 hear the argument con
tinued
Mr.. Billings-We desire nov 20 offer four
! or five thousand atfidavits of citizens from
! ten parishes, who have been denied Segis-
| tratiOn.
Mr.. Semmes-The answer YESTERDAY de-
! MED III more formal manner the aver
lnents OF the bill, and it is now TOO late for
the gentleman to make tie application to
! file these atfidavita.
By tie "ourt--!es the aiiiiarjts be ad-
mitted.
Mr.. Semmes Hresuming) e-Cnler the rules
| IN "h2ncery say it very proper to await
| an argument on the merits before taking up
! the issue of contempt. The allegations Of
! the bill are that 10000 persons entitled to
! registration were, previous to the election,
! refused 6t-being entitled to vote; and
! turthero that the supervisors have sup
! pressed votes which, had not they been sup
| pressed, would have been sufficient to elect
| the complainant that through the instlu-
| mentality of the illegal board the Governor
| desires 10 fraudulentjy do what to exclude
/
| of tUmuIt. The bill. if ! mistake not, does
/ not aver that the votes were refused on the
| ground OF race, color or previous condition.
! What Goes the bill ask ! That your honor
=! may intervene by the means of injunction
| and determine who arc and who are noS
! the legal officers of the State, charged with
! the canvass of returns. You are asked to
| perp :tuat0 testimony in this G&seO and if
| 20 ! DO thus interpOse, the Governor and all
| hl colleagues will be guilty Of a misde-
! meanor in altering and d. facing the returns
When haze stated the case iH will not
J be necessary for me to urge chat the court
! has no power 70 interpOse its authority. Is
! 1t necessary tor me to read the bill (ReaGs
| section Gwenty-three OF the enforcement
! actj.
The Jurisdiction of the United States
! being limited by the act of Congress, and
| although courts may interfere, yet, IN this
1 case, the arm OF the court is paralyzed in
! the absence Ot specific acS. What is tile
! jurisdiction conferred That OF hearing .
( person entitled 20 office who il denied by
| reason Of denial Of the right to vote OF peE-
! sons without regard 20 color, etc.
I Now. the only basis on which party can
| bring suit is that he is defrauded Of his
! Office by denial Of citizens 20 Vote on ac-
| count OF race, color and previous condition.
| Therefore. the only part OF lie bill that this
! court can entertain at all is that which al
! ltsts tnde certain persons oa'e oeth "e-
nled; on accoGnt OF race coior or previous
| conultl@h' Ho"' "haU Is cilS chafss Ahat
! appointed by che Governor and you say
these returns are TO be manipulated and
| destroyed. Iook al the law aud you will
| find it impossible to perpetrate these frauds
