BROOKS TO THE PRESIDENT.
DEc1s1oN OF THE COURT

LITTLE Rock, May. -Four Of the
five judges Of the Supreme Court met
inside Brooks line this morning, aud
delivered an opinion in relation Of
Joseph Brooks VS.. Henry Page, State
treasurer, being an application for 9
mandamus to compel the treasurer to
pay requis ;tion for $1,000 made by
Brooks.
The Court, in delivering the opinion,
said, "The only question that we deem
necessary to notice is: Did the Circui,
Court have jurisdiction to render
judgement in the case OF Brooks vs.
Baxter.
We feel some delicacy about express
ing an opinion upon The question pro-
pounded; but under the pleadings 1t
has to be passed upon incidentally, if
not absolutely, IN determining whether
the relator lis entitled to the relief asked
for.
His right to office if established at
all, is established by the Judgement OF
the Circuit Court of Pulaski county.
We are of the opinion that the. Circuit
Court had jurisdiction Of the subject
matter, and its jud cement appears to be
regular and valid.
Having arrived at these Conclusions
the demurrer is overhead, and the writ
of mandamus will be awarded as pray
ed for
Signed by John Mcclure, CHEF jus
tice, John 4. Bennett, E. S. Searle, and
and M. l.. Stephenson, associate Justices.

payment from the Treasury Of all ac-
tual aud necessary travelling expenses
OF the United States officials following

taining to their ollces. Tho bill abol-
ishes mileage In the case OF officers OF

The instruction over the Simmons
appointment Is spreading, says the
New York Tribune. In, Bosten, Gen.
Buffers organ llts Its weak voice
alone In defense Of the President, but
In Maine ' this single defendant
appears to be wanting. The Bangor
Uhiy aud Courier follows the lead Of
the Portland Press, and thus plainly
speaks It's mind "The act has been
neither more nor less than tho shaking
OF Ben Buffers fist In the face Of Mas
s~achusetts, In revenge for his double
reputation, and as a threat that no
will continue to force his fight against
the ~self.respect Of an Intelligent peo.
pie. We submit that this Is a per-
formance In which the President OF
the United States can III afford to take
a prominent part, aud what car have
induced Gen. Grant to seriously dam
age himself In aiding the schemes OF
n trickster for whom he once enter
tanned a profound contempt, Is entire
ly beyond our comprehension. It Is a
bad business, and II the President has
already gone so far as to wound the
confidence Of those who have been his
best friends, it Is all the more Import
ant to him that no should promptly
face about and throw or tho evil influ.
ence which is entrenching itselfaround
him.
