NEW ORLEANS, May 26 "A lively
contest is progressing for the judgeship
OF the superior district court. During
Governor Kellogg's absence Lieutenant
Governor Antoine commissioned Judge
B. L. Lynch, Of the fourth district court,
to be iHdge of the superior district court,
vice Hawkins, deceased. Governor Kel-
logg yesterday commissioned General
Hugh ]. Campbell as Judge OF the su-
perior district court. This morning
Judge Campbell took possession of the
courtroom, aided by squad Of Metro
politan police. Judge Lynch arrived
soon after, and called upon thesherif to
put him in possession Of the court,
which order the sheriff obeyed by ad-
vice Of his COUNSEL, Ex-Governor M'En-
cry. A written opinion of Attorney.
General Field was read, stating that the
removal of Judge Lynch by the COVER
nor would be unconstitutional, as well
as an outrage upon public order. The
sheriff ordered the police away, and re-
fused to recognize Campbell, who there
upon Withdrew. Judge Lynch then
opened the court and proceeded with the
business. Campbell will seek his Judge
ship through the courts.
81. LOais whisky Suits.
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-In the United
States district court to-day the civil suit
sgairs. r. w. Ulbrici, of the whisky
ring, and his bondsnnen, to recover one
hundred and seven thousand dollars,
was called and the demurrer to the pc
tition withdrawn and default entered as
to pbrici and G. d. Lake, one Of the
sureties. A technical point was raised
tD one other bondsman, and the case Is
TO be further heard tomorrow; but there
seems to be no doubt that judgment will
be entered for the government. Judg-
ment was given for the government in
the case Of w. r. Jowett for twenty
feysn thousand dollars. The case of
Louis Teucher FOR five thousand is pro-
gFessing and will no doubt
be decided favorsbiy to the
government. In addition to these suits,
the claims against a large amount OF
highwines captured at the time Of the
seizure of the distilleries and rectifyiDg.
houses, year ago, were Withdrawn, and
the spirits viii pase into the hands Of the
government. The bonds in the above
cases are good, and 1t Is believed that
the government will COLLECT the entire
amount, which, with the highwines
mentioned, will run up In the sggregste
to hslf million d. Cllsrs-a pretty good
days business for the government.
