that the troops he removed from Loui-iana.
For what purpose should they be removed!
Six weeks ago there were no TROOPS n
Louisiana, and the State VAS % fee from

rebellion suddenly eeiEed the Government Of
that Stale, depos-d all the general acd local

department. Troops we're sent to the State
and the Government restor, d. Admitting
that KELLOGG was never legally elected, and
that his installation in January, 1873, was
an usurp ,tion, it will mol be Questioned BY
any person that the President could do any
thing el-e than to restore him and supprss s.
the instruction. Upon that point there ID
now no difference Of opinion. The fact that
there are trcsps in Louisiana At all 1t this
time il due to that REBEL on, to the over
throw OF the State Government BY the armed
and organized mob of Louisiana. Nov
that the troops are there, they had better
stay there until such time a. the peace OF
the ale is established. According to toe
report, the Democrats have elected q ma
joriiy of the Legislature and of the local Of

The grizzly Wa, accordingly lifted into

driven back into the opposite corner BY the
application Of hot irons. Then all tie en-

A singular Law Gaze affecting the terminus
OF the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
brought in the United States Circuit c lurt,
has recently bsen decided by Judge Dillen
The full text of Judge Dillon's opinion we
publish elsewhere in desc columns. L!
bears upon the question Of terminus d.
rely, although the Union Pacific Company
are the plaintiffs. This case grew out Of an
effort an the part of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company to recover property amount.
| ing in round numbers TO about SEC, GOO,
| 6eedsd by the citizens OF Omaha to 7. c.
Durant, trustee, upon condition that tae
| location Of the western terminus Of said
Union Pacific railroad should be vi. hin one
and quarter miles Of Farnhum street. II
| will be observed by careful scrutiny of the
opinion in question, tina, Judge Dillon holds
that it wa Impc sale for TIE Cnioo Pdci-
fic to comply with Tie terms upon which the
lands and town-lots in question were con-
veyed to Dur mt. He says: "rhe act OF
July /, 1862. (sec. IA authorized The Pie,i.
dent Of tee United States 10 fix the termiDu.
! and the same vas fixed by him On the
western boundary OF lows near section ten,
Of he township 10 which Omaha is situated.
From Farbham street to the nearest part OF
section ten is mile and thre-quartsrs,"
and the query necessarily follows: How
could the eastern terminus be located within
one mile and a quarter Of Farnham street!
In his summing up Judge Dillon says: The
whole case lies within the inqairy, "sas the
property fairly or lawfully obtsined"' and
adds: ''In nv Judgment il was not" a.
Ii Mr.. Durant intended "a
use this property to corrupt the official
action Of Others it was Obtained for
an unlawful purpose. If he demanded the
property not for this purpose, bat because
he had the power and intended to exercise
il, his action is oppressive and cannot be
permitted to stand. And ~ the company
in this suit seeks the fruits Of Mr.. Durant'e
acts, they are affected through him with
the vice of Mr. Durant's conduct" The
