CHICAGO, Nov. 24.--The Board of Trade this
morning came to the decision in the case of w.
y. Sturges, one of its members, who had been
found by the board of directors guilty of I'M
commercial conduct in running a corner in
gram IN contravention of the rules of the board
py making purchase of property at fictitious
prices largely above the real value in the mar
Ket 1or such property, for the evident purpose
OF extorting excessive money damages from
those with whom he had maturing Contracts,
and also making sales or alleged sales of prop,
erty at far below its real valve in the market
for the evident purpose of seeking to avoid the
payment of just damages to those with whom
he had matured and undisputed, but unfalfiled
contracts, also refusing to be governed by the
rules of the association, and denying its juris-
diction over him as member.
The matter was, in accordance with the by
laws of the association referred by the direct
ors to special meeting of the full board which
was convened last evening, but adjourned over
till this morning for final action. A ballot was
being taken on the question of Sturges' expul-
sion but was suddenly stopped just before
o'clock this Afternoon, the time for closing
polls by an injunction issued by Judge VIII
liams of the Circuit Court Cor Cook county.
The general impression is that the vote
would have resulted in the expulsion of Stur-
ges. The grounds upon which the Injunction
was granted are not yet known.

LORD ACTON has taken up the cudgels for
the English Catholics, and has addressed a
letter to Mr.. Gladstone which is model OF
candor and moderation. He concluslveiy
shows that the dogma to which the English
h heVt' and That it has been affirmed by the
Vatican again and again. There still exists
in the canon law decision that it is no MUIR
der to kill accommodated persons. There
is still Lateran decree, never revoked, that
allegiance must$not be kept with heretical
princes. The Vatican is still committed to
the denial of the Copernican system. Yet no
Catholic now considers himself bound by these
DEGREES. They did not stand in the way of
Catholic emancipation in England, and they
are no more binding now than thirty years
ago. So reasons Lord Acton. He evidently
considers the pamphlet of Mr.. Gladstone a
fresh example of the ridiculous lengths to
which rigid logic will carry a man.
