LITTLE Rock (ARK.), January 13.--Judge
Caldwell rendered a decision to-day in the
case OF Judge Harrison against Governor Had.
ley and others. lie sustains the defendants
demurrer TO the Jurisdiction of the Court. He
says:
The Court has no jurisdiction under the en-
forcement act Of any election, except where the
parties have been deprived Of the right to vote
by reason OF race, color previous condition OF
servitude. In complaiuanfs bill no averment
OF this kind is made. He gave leave to counsel
to reargue the case before the full bench IN
April, when 1t is thought that both Judge Mil
Ter, Of the Supreme Court, and Circuit Judge
Dillon, will be present.
Referring to the decision of Judge Durell
of Louisiana, he says that the Court in that cas-,
decided thati it had jurisdiction solely on thu
ground that the averments in the complaint SCI
up that parties had been deprived Of their righ
to vote by reason Of their race, color or previOn
condition Of servitude In this suit no sucI
averment is made. and the complainant remitte
10 the courts Ofhis State for relief

profit from the same SOURCES reached 70, $40,

Ilfe company was unable to maintain the same

The LOUISIANA INAUeURATIoNs.-Thei In
auguration of the conservative Governor, Nc
Emery, is described by special dispatches as
having been attended BY the wealth and respec
liability Of the city thus giving the fairest possi-
BILE testimony, outside OF the ballot box, Of the
merits of the case. The republican candidate,
inaugurated in the presence OF fifteen hundred
people, chiefly colored, the whole surrounded
by United States military, under the pretense
that there was danger Of violence from the other
party. This also afforded the fairest possible
testimony, outside Of the ballot-box, of the
merits of the case, so far as he was concerned.
