THE ELECTION IMBR0GLI0 I'm
sTATU QU0.'
Nothing Of q startling nature has
TRANSFERRED affecting the quarrel over
the State election since our last re-
port. On Monday the suit Of Kellogg
rs. II. C. Warmoth ct ais was called
for trial before the Fifth u. S. Circuit
Court by Judge Durell, and argu-
ment thereon opened for complainant
by U. S. District Attorney Beckwith.
Such eminent legal gentlemen az
Hons. Matt Carpenter Of Wisconsin,
and John A. Bingham, who assisted
in framing and enacting Kellogg's En- 1
forcemegt Bill, appeared upon the
scene to assist and advise their
brother Congressman in To prosecu-
ton Of his big suit. The arguments
Of opposing counsel consumed the
sessions of the court held Monday !
Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday
being Thanksgiving day, no court was
held, and Friday IL postponement was
ordered until Monday next, because
Of the physical indisposition Of one of|
the counsel for defendants, Mr.. Ram
dali Hunt, who will deliver the clos
ing argument for defendants in the|
Cease. ) .l' '" f' 'f''
The decision Of Judge Durell will
certainly have some weight upon the
matter, but we seriously doubt if i'd
will be the ending Of the disgracefull
imbroglio, for it is very likely that
either party is prepared to appeal to
the Q. 8. Supreme Court in case Of
Judge Durelrs decision being averse|
them. In the meantime Gov. War
moth remains in his Office, and we
think he is likely to stay there for
some time to come. f'j' -

of New Orleans will probably assume
