NOT VERY SOLID REASONS.

The Picdyune urges as proposition No.
that Judge Durell will be impeached on
the allegations; that Hon. William D.
Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, as chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, is the author of
the enforcement bill; that he is, of all
others, the best likely to know whether
his own law had been properly construed;
that he had asked the House TO refer the
case to the judiciary Committee. of which
he is chairman, with unusual powers, in
order that he might make short work of
it. Here is fine web of sophistry.
Mr.. Kelley was never chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee. He is not
now. nor is he likely to be. He has never
been, nor is he now, even member of
that committee. He is a member, third
or fourth on the list, Of the Committee on
Ways and Means, and chairman of the
unimpOrtant Committee on Weights and
Coins. He is not regarded in any man
ner as one Of the leaders of the party in
Congress. but is nevertheless highly
esteemed for his general good sense and
devotion to the Pennsylvania coal and
iron interests. He is not the author Of
the enforcement act. and there is no rec
ord of his having given much attention to
il while i: was under consideration in the
House.
Proposition 40. therefore seems to be
quite unable to stand. It would not take
much time to demonstrate that PROPOSE.

what the Times thinks Of its ewn wit
and wisdom. and what i. bases its fiatter-
ing opinion upon. may be judged by a
single comparison OF extracts from its
issue of two succeeding days. On Tues
day il soiemnly advised its readers regard
ing the senatorial contest, as follows:
Mr. Z. f. Norton. from all the indications,
will be elected for the long term on the
first ballot The above programme comes
from those who are thoroughly posted upon
the political situation, and any modification
will involve an unexpected change.
After the event. in its hext edition, the
following preparation may be found:
While other papers We're wildly ,pecu-
lating about the distribution of senatorial
hOnors in the Dryades street Legislature
the Times played the part of a political
prophet by pointing TO Pinchback as the
coming man. We had carefully calculated
the chances. and knew that Pinch. with a
black backing. had the game IN his own
hand.
We really pity the unfortunate readers
of a journal whose editor holds theiv in.
telligence in such low estimation.

returning board to count and de-
clare the result of the last
election, and because the Supreme Court
offers to try this issue promptly, owing
to its importance, the demandant in the
case refuses to be gratifed in his applica-
ton and begs and DULLES toy the usual
delays that accompany cases before that
tribunal. And Judge WHY. who has been
neglecting his duties for two months. cup.
ports the application for delay on the
ground that his mind is still confused in
regard to question that every man in the
State pretends to have formed an opinion
about And the Picayme that should be
overjoyed at the prompt action of Che Su.
preme Court in settling great case in
which the entire people are concerned,
makes haste to denounce the judges for
their disposition to do their duties.
Why is this objection set up To- the &C.
ton Of the Supreme Court: Why is Mr..
Semmes afraid 20 have the Judgment he
asked for delivered in accordance with his
demands why does the Picayune require
the caseso be held over if it has any con.
fdence in its petition for rights Because
the judgment of the Supreme Court will
settle the entire matter and put at rest the
groundless assumptions Of the McEnery
party That it was reported as elected by
board of returning officers.
Here is the secret Of Mr.. Semmes' opposi-
ton Co the final adjudication Of his own
case-that he is afraid of his own cause.
And, more than that, he is fully aware
that his suit is doomed to defeat and that
the Judgment of the court will settle be.

elected Governor of the State Of Louisiana.

A TECHNICAL SUGGESTION.

1t fell to the lot of Mr.. Justice WHY,
while sitting in judgment in case of the
deepest gravity, in which the State is
really the plaintiff, TO suggest a technical
plea that the relator, who is in fact mere
witness, had no such interest in the result
as would give the appellate court jurisdic.
ton. The learned counsel foE the de.
PENDANTS in the controversy between the
returning boards did not probably think
il a good point 70 make, in which we
concur, while the officer whose duty is
supposed 20 be confined to that Of pas
sive listener until the case is fairly before
him, breaks out in open court as an asso-
ciate counsel and suggester of pleadings.
In contests between individuals. the
rule is established that only rather high
priced Gtigants can be heard in the Su-
preme Court; but it can hardly be that the
State itself can not be heard before any of
its tribunals in matter involving its au-
thority and dignity. The RICH. Of the
State to inquire into the title of men pre-
tending to be its agents in matter in.
volving such momentous interests as are
passed upon by che board of returning Off
GERS, ought not to be measured or limited
by pecuniary consideration or the want
of il. However this may be. whether a
plea of the sort. if urged at the proper
time would operate as a bar to trial of
the case in the Supreme Court. it is Ger.
tain that the Attorney General had such
an interest in the suit as to entitle him to
a hearing in the appellate court. In a
case recently decided (23 An. 1852. the
doctrine is maintained by the Supreme
Court, that "a third party who shows
an interest in suit in amount sufficient
to give the appellate court jurisdiction,
may appeal from such judgment, and
mandamus will issue from the Supreme
Coure, on application of such third party,
directing the judge q quo to grant the APP
peal
In the case before the court, there are
numerous parties who have deep, pecu.
mary interest," and one Of them was before
the bar at the time the Associate Justice
made his inquiries.

no longer any occasion for dispute. The
colored members OF the party have carried
their point, and they will find that thei.
associates have nothing to say in opposi-

that the opposition has not got the sense
