Hundreds Of GOiOred Men Dis
charged for Voting the Repub-
liCan Ticket.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The follows
has been received here:
New ORLEANS, 10th Jan, 1875.
To Hon. W. w. Beikndp, Score tdty o
Var, Washington, d. c.:
4 report has Just been received from
Major Merrill, at Shreveport, which is
too long for Geographic transmittal,
but will be sent by mail. The follow
ing is an epitome, almost in Merrill's
own words:
The threats made before the election
to drive from the community all who
voted the Radical ticket, are being
carried out. Combinations among
the whites are forming and recruiting
by every form of pressure by which all
negroes who voted the Radical ticket
are to be refused work, or at least, all
whites not forming in this combina-
ton are to be osCracised. Already
more than five hundred families, in
Guiding at least two thousand people
of all ages and sexes, are wanderers
without means to go anywhere, pow
erless to find other homes where they
are, and on the verge of starvation
in mid winter. Theft and other
crimes may result. and it Is feared
that the bitter feeling naturally re.
sulting from the sense of the injustice
received may run into one of revenge
These harmless people will gradually
drift together, and the white people
are not slow, as the past has shown
to set afloat inflammatory rumors Of
| intentions of organized violence on
the part of the negro, and where the
| revolver and mob law are the com
mon resort in such cases, as they
usually have been here, disorder:
more or less extensive are sure to he
the result If some preventive is no
| found for such state of things.

Lieutenant General.

An East Tennessee Case in the su.
preme Court,

The Supreme Court rendered the
following decisions to-day:
No. l29, Monger vs. Shirley. an ap-
peal from the Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee. This
was a proceeding to set aside a sale of
the appellee's property, made in his
absence from Tennessee during the
war, upon the ground that the cause of
action which matured in a judgment
against Shirley by the publication of
service was fraundulently asserted and
had no shadow of foundation. The
Court below sustained the plea and va
Gated the entire proceeding and that
decree is affirmed here. Mr.. Justice
Swayne delivered the opiuion.
No. l75, Haycraft vs.. United States ;
an appeal from the Court of Claims.
The question in chief in this case was
whether one who gave aid and comfort
to the rebellion, can, after the eXpira-
ton of two years from its suppression
maintain an action in the Court of
Claims for the recovery of money in
the Treasury, arising from the sales OF
his cotton seized and sold under the
captured and abandoned property Act.
The Court held the question to be one
of jurisdiction, that the sovereign can
not be sued without his consent, aud
that as the law giving the right of ac-
ton, prescribed theltime within which
it might be brought, two years, and it
was not brought within that time,
the consent of the sovereign is con-
sidered to be no longer existing, and
the action can not be maintained. The
Chief Justice delivered the opinion.
No. 176. The same VS.. the United
States, the same Court and same judg-
ment.
