Correspondence of the Commercial

[Continuing report given in yesterdays
Fourth Edition.
The entire morning session was taken
up with argument on the State vs. VIM. u.
Heal and other election cases. 1t appears
that the defendants in these cases had fled
petition and affidavit in the o. s. Circuit
Court, according to the provisions of the
United States laws, praying that writs of
hdbeGs corpus cum cdusG might issue to the
State Courts as a means of removing these
cases out Of State Jurisdiction. These writs
were issued and served on the Sheriff, on
the presumption that the prisoners were in
his custody, but, as they are out on recog-
nizance he handed them to the Clerk, who
asked the instructions OF the Court. The
writs, themselves, it appears, do not show
the grounds upon which the Circuit Court
claims Jurisdiction.
Attorney General Pennington argued
that the Court of General Sessions was not
bound to obey these writs, inasmuch as no
jurisdiction is disclosed in them.
u. s. Attorney Spruance claimed it to be
the duty of the Court to obey.
The Court, speaking by the Chief Justice,
held that they should decline to obey the
writ, or stay proceedings on the ground
that the writs did not set forth any grounds
of jurisdiction on the part of the Circuit
Court, and as the Circuit Court is q Court
of limited jurisdiction, it should be dis
closed in the writs. The matter was COM
promised by Mr. Spruance stating that he
would bring into Court, tomorrow, certified
copies of the petitions and affidayits upon
which the writs were granted.
Nothing much was done in the afternoon
session but to discharge prisoners.
Court adjourned at 80 p. m.

CLOTHES THIEvEs.-Last evening some
sneak thieves, after placing one of their
number in front, to attrac5 the family, went
into the back yard of Mrs. Macklem, at
Lombard and Robinson streets, and stole
several shirts, table cloths, drawers and
stockings from the clothes line. Several
other families in that vicinity and along
East Seventh street have lost clothes in the
same manner, recently.

4 TURKEY EXCITEMENT AT NEWARK
One day last week, Newark was thrown in
of $50 turkeys. They had been gathered
in Athens county, Ohio, and shipped in cars
with three tiers in each to Newark. Here
they we're unloaded and driven, like flock
of sheep, up through the town, on their
way to Gum Tree in Chester county, dis
tance of % miles from Newark. 1t took
three days for the turkeys to walk this dis
Athens to Newark, and were fed once day
by corn being shoveled in through the open
spaces in the cars. The turkeys had one
wing clipped, which completely disabled
them from flying, Late reports represent
the Newark people as having measurably
recovered from the excitement Of the Turk

The Outlook.

Adyices from well-posted Republicans in

more confidence in Republican success
than existed four years ago at this time
Indeed, prior TO the North Carolina cleo
ton in 1872. which unexpectedly went Re
publican, there was very general feeling
that the contest in the nation would be
very close aud the result doubtful. At the
present time. however, the general feeling
among Republicans. who are not sccus-
toned to indulge in unfounded expecta-
ton. is that the election OF Hayes is as GER
tain a any future political event.
This year, in consequence of change
in the DAY of election In North Carolina

Political Notes.

General futile Of Iowa, whose convictions
have lately forced him to abandon the Democ-
racy in consequence of the return of the old
Confederate spirit to Its leadership, and who is
now actively at work for Hayes and Wheeler,
makes the following statement with regard to
the abuse which has followed him:
so far from being allowed to leave the De-
mocraey in peace, as / had hoped and expect
ed with no noise about il, you have seen, many
of you here, what has been said and charged
against me in the Democratic press. But what
you have seen is nothing. In the last ten days
have received scores of letters, the most of
them anonymous, abusing me without stint,
and charging me with all sorts of crimes =
These things, which would any man who had
feeling, have simply confirmed me in my
estimate of many members Of the party L
have left, and have simply intensified my con-
giction that my course was and is right"
Treasury officers in Washington are con-
stantly receiving from London bankers des-
patches which express great fear that the
House of Representatives will pass bill to re-
peal the Resumption act. The passage Of such
a bill. il is believed in London, would instantly
impair the.standing of American securities and
embarrsss any attempts in the future to fund
our five-twenty bonds. The English bankers,
whose opinions are generally sound on money
matters. are msnifestly believers in the fact
that the repeal of the act by the Democrats is
