The reason for the postponcmcnt by the
Supreme Court of the application of coun-
sci for Warmoth, for the allowance of an
appeal from the decision of Judge Durcll
in the Louisiana case, was that the court
had nothing but the application before it,
and therefore could not act Counsel was
granted leave to file the record and other
papers in the case, preliminary to its CON
sideration. Several eminent lawyers prac-
ticing before the court are Of the opinion
that the Supreme Court will not mmedi-
ately act upon the subject, at the Fall term
to which it has adjourned, but will delay in
order to give Congress another opportunity
to act upon the subject of the Louisiana
complications as Il political question, thus
removing it from JUDICIAL review. A num-
Der of important cases went over until next

the farm of 5. O. Matthcwson, Esq Mr..
Matthewson's farm is situated on a hill,
some two miles from any considerable body

especially when the dog had the assistance
of good sized boy. From the tip of its
