Alabsma Politics mud Fiuanc"-.
Sanator Morton in debate IN" Other
dav on the question Of admitting Spen'
Ger AS senator from Ala abama, stated that
the Supreme Court OF the state had
decided that the court h0nse Assembly
which elected Spencer 10 be The legal
legislature. This in 'ormation had been
communicated by telegram. Later al"
vices tend to put the partisan Jndlc'ary
OF Alabama on ;. level with the supreme
Court Of Louisiana in uphOldlng the
Kellogg government.
The court house bod dy bad authorized
an issue OF S2,0O0,00O OF bonds. These
bonds, it is understood, were bought ny
alta ruinous discount by specuIator-,
and a decis on was rendered hy ma
jority OF the Judges declaring the court
house legislature legal AMI validating
these $2,0J00JO bonds One OF the
Judges dissented, on the ground that
The only legal legislature was the one
organized under Attorney General
Williams plan.
1t is no secret that Attorney General
Williams, when submitting his plan
com promise tor the consolidation OF the
| rlva! legislatures, secuted the very 'dea
of this court house body being recogni-
zed as legal. The advices recelvet here
saw that the State is bankrupt at any
rate, and that the taxpayers will persist
in repudiating these bonds, notw'ths'an-
ding the biased decision OF the Supreme
Court.

| SrnI."ced by the French Courts.
Advices received at the State Depart
ment are to the effect that General
Fremont, having tailed to appear in
answer to a summons OF the Court Cor
rectionne in Paris, will most probably
he convicted and sentenced par co"tp-
mace 10 a term OF Imprisonment on the
charge OF swindliug. The Indictment
against him and his associates IN the
Memphis Ell Psso Railroad sets forth
that in 1869 me company obtained 10
Paris S, ,4OU, ,000 Tor so.called Memphis
FL Pa.o Land Grant bonds 1t was
falsely represented that the bonds were
,psrarteed Nv an act OF Congress
The S5 400 900 thus obtained on ialse
pretence have never been accounted
ror, not a yard OF the so-cailed Mem
mis- FL Paso road has been built. Inc
compsnv WAS subsequently declared
hankrup,, and the only Assets tor the
money OF the suhscrihers are q PAIR OF
old locomotives still TO be seen IN New
Orleans. A false cerntic re, stating
that the Memphis and Ii Paso hona>
were Quoted on the New York Stock
Exchange, had been circulated IN faI
ris, in order to entrap the unwary an"
IGNORANT into subscription. The tnp'
scribers belong all to the poorer cias'
