The Credit MObelier Suit.
The Governments Case Worthless.

HARTFORD, Ct, Nov. 2s.-The important
Credit Mobeiier suit which was tried ia this
city last October, has been decided by the U.
S. Judges Hunt and Shipman and the opinion
was fled in the U. S. District Court in this city
to day. The motion of the defendants counsel
to dismiss the bail involving the question of ju-
risdiction was decided In favor of the govern
mept
On the second point of the demurrer the
court sustained the demurrer and dismisses the
bill as to the parties who demurred. The
ground of the demurrer is that the damage to
the Government by the Credit Mobilier frauds
is too remote to be reached by the process pur-
sued or by any other, and that the government
has at present no pecuniary interest to be
reached by the bill The court takes the view
that there is no trust anywhere raised in behalf
OF the government to be protected.
The motion to dissolve the injunctions is
granted, 1t is not unlikely that the matter
may go to the Superior Court though there is
not much probability of a reversal,
