effects exceeding S7j,OOO; that she is non
COmpos mcntis and incapable Of managing
her estate, aud praying for the issuance
Of nn order for warrant and vGnrc to

tition was accompanied by certificate
Of II physician, DR.. lsham. lie had ex.

testified tOcCcentricitir, in the conduct Of
Mrs. Lincoln, which commenced at the
time Of the ASSASSINATION Of Mr.. Lincoln

in their reservation, called upon the
President to-day, accompanied by Assis.
tant Secretary Cowan and Commissioner
Smith. The President received them in
his office, and after shaking hands with
each one he said hccould not talk to them

he desired them 10 talk freely with the
Secretary Of the Interior and the Com.
missioner OF Indian Affairs, and that il
any disagreements arose he would en-.
deavor 10 right them. lie desired them
TO accept the statements Ol these officers

instructed to oppose the constitution to
exert an undue influence upon them, and
asked all to think and act for themselves
individually. Those delegates who had
received instructions from their societies
he instructed rs to how they could disre'
gard those instructions provided they be-
came convinced differently.
The most prominent points in the new
constitution are as follows; Each society
to be governed by priest, except where
the members are from different parishes,
then the members will be under the guild
ance Of such person as the Bishop OF the
diocese may select. The priests shall be
given the right to the floor whenever
they appear in u meeting, and wish to
address it. The names Of all persons
proposed as members shall be submitted
to the President for his approval, and ii
he objects, the name must be Withdrawn
until his objection is removed. Ii a
fails TO observe Lent, or to send
his children to Roman Catholic school,
ii it Is possible, or becomes drunkard,
or is guilty OF other public otIcnScs, and
the Society should fail to expcl him, the
priest shall have the right to give such
expulsion. The names Of all elected OF.
ficers must be communicated to the priest,
Of all meetings shall be open to
the inspection Of the priest whenever he
requires it. The minutes must not con-
tain any resolutions which are opposed
by the Catholic Church, this approved
constitution, or the prescriptions OF the
diocese. No picnics or balls shall be
given without the consent Of the priests.
II is expected that u stubborn oppo.
,ition to this constitution will manifest
Itself when the various sections are
voted upon, but strong efforts will be
made by the priesthood 10 secure It's adop.
lion, MS II virtually places the whole As.
In their hands.

CHARLESTON, May 10Th, 1875.
Special Dispatch to the IncllgcncCrl
The one sided argument in the Capita
injunction case closed yesterday, and thi'
morning Ills Honor, Judge Smith, Of the
Kanawha Circuit, delivered his opinion
lie stated, among other things, that he
had no doubt OF the Jurisdiction OF his
court over the case, nor OF the right OF the
parties who had sued out the injunction,
to do SO, nor Of the law passed by the
Legislator last winter, removing the
capital from Charleston to Wheeling,
being in the nature ofa fraud; but, never
theless, inasmuch Rs he had some doubts
whether the Law thus removing the
capital was really unconstitutional, he
proposed to give the Law the benefit OF
his doubts, and he would therefore make
an order dissolving the injunction.
Upon the delivery Of this opinion Of
Judge Smiths, the lawyers who have been
opposing the dissolution OF the injunc.
tion,moycd at once for an appeal, This the
Judge refused to grant, but consent.
ed to suspend the order dissoIving the
injunction for one week, to enable the
plaintiffs to obtain and perfect an appeal,
on cOnditionthat they would furnish sat.
isiactory bond in the penalty Of twenty.
five hundred dollars, to cover any dam
ages that might result by reason Of the
suspension.
50 far therefore as there is any efficacy
in the order suspending the dissolution Of
the injunction toprevent the removal Of
the archives Of the State, they will be dc.
laycd for one week, but at this time 1t Is
not known that Governor Jacob will take
any account whatever Of the proceedings
which have been had in the case.
General Humphreys and party, Of the
United States Engineer Corps, arrived
