TO BE DURELLIZED.

THE SUPREME COURT ASNULS THE LATE
ELECTION IN TEXAS AND ABoLIsHEs THE
EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATURE OF THE PEG
PIE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE following i'm
portant dispatch was received by Represen-
tative Giddings and Hancock, of Texas:
AUSTIN, TEXAS, Jan. 5.-Hon. d. C. Gid
dings and Hon. John Hancock, NJ. c.: The
Supreme Court of Texas decided to- dav, in
the case of exparte Rodriguez, on habeas
corpus, that the late election, at which
Democratic governor and legislature were
elected by nearly 1900 majority, was un
constitutional. AT the same election an
amendment ofthe constitution it is believed,
was adopted which would relieve the State
from the present Supreme Court. The counsel
for the State urged that the case was fic-
titious, and supported the statement by affi-
davits. and urged the court in behalf of its
own dignity to inquire into it. This they
refused to do. The States attorney then in
formed the court that the grand Jury had
examined the case, and they being satisfied
that il was fictitious, no indictment was
found, and he united with the prisoner in
asking his discharge. The court refused to
discharge him, and proceeded to hear case.
BoLsTERED, WE BELIEVE, BY PERJURY.
1t was coRtended by the State: First, That
the question of the constitutionality of an
act providing for the election of Legis-
iature was one which the Legislature
could at once determine by the consti-
tuition. They were made the exclusive
judges of their election and qualifications.
Two, That the question of their election be-
ing referred to their judgment by the consti-
tuition, was political in It's character, and one
which the Supreme Court could not deter
mine, except in subordination to the Legis-
lature. The court had no power to destroy
the succession in coordinate department of
law on which that succession depends.
Three, That they could not in any event
pass on the eonstitutionality of the act on an
exparte hearing; but if the process was reg
ular must remand the prisoner for examin-
alton before the officer who issued the war
rant. Four, That if the court assumed
Jurisdiction, then the act must be
c nstrued by the court, viz: Sec
ton six, In all elections for the
State, districts or counties, until other
wise provided by law, the poles shall be
open for four days, from eight o'clock A. NJ.
until four O'Clock p. N. of each day. The
last Legislature multiplied the places of vot-
ing by providing for precinct elections. and
limited the time of voting to one day, to
prevent frauds. This act the Supreme
Court conJtrues to be illegal. and thus at
tempts To destroy the succession in the Leg
islative and executive departments. The
carpet bag officials here claim that Attorney
General Williams has given assurance OF
federal support i'm setting aside the late cleo
ton. We argued the cause for the people
before the Supreme Court, and advise you
promptly of the result. A. Nj. TERRELL.
