LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 12.-Judge
Caldwell rendered decision to-day in the
case of Judge Harrison against Gov. Had
ley. He sustains defendants demurrer
TO the jurisdiction of the Court; says the
Court has no jurisdiction Of any election
case except under the 23d section of the en-
forcene1t act, and then only where the
parties have been deprived Of the right to
vote by reasons of race, color or previous
condition of serVitude. In the complaint
no averment Of this kind is made. He
gave leave to counsel to re-argue the case
before the fell bench in April, when it is
thought both Judge Miller of the United
States Supreme Court and Circuit Judge
Dillon will be present.
Referring to the decision of Judge DQrell
he says; The court In that case decided
that it has Jurisdiction solely en the ground
that the averment in the complaint set up
that the parties had been deprived Of the
right to vote by reason of their race, color
or previous condition Of serVitRde. In this
suit no such averment is made, and defend
ant is remitted to the courts Of this State
for relief.
