from the 81. Louis Times;
"BELLEvILLE, ILL.,, Nov. PAS in
formation in the nature OF quo warranto
at the relation OF Jas. X. Edsall, Attor-
ney General of Illinois. on behalf of the
people and against Geo. W. Wall, the
new Judge, was filed in our circuit court
to-day, to which Judge Wall, by his att
torney, Samuel P. Wheeler, filed his plea
setting up his election on the first Mons
day in August, and his being duly com.
missioned by the Governor, his eligibli-
ty for that Office and the law under which
he holds that Office. TO this plea q de.
murrer is filed, setting up the unconsti-

making an agreed case. The demurrer
was to-day overruled and Judge Walls
claim established"
The eonstitutionality Of the act OF our
general assembly, redistricting the state,
and providing for the election of one ad.
ditional Judge in each circuit has been so
seriously questioned, that Judge Wall
was unwilling longer to occupy the po-
sition, without judicial determination
of his rights, he therefore notified tho
Attorney General OF his willingness to be
made q party defendant, and the above
is the result. The case goes to the SUI

Court. Judge Redlield ruled, for the pur-
pose of the pr esrnt trial, that the fox was

questions left for the jury were whether
the defendant was guilty Of negligence in
unsafelv fastening the fox. and what was
the full value Of the turkeys. The icsti-
mony on this point was given by several
experts in turkey Iaising, who generally
thought that the plaintiffs price, Il dollar
apiece, was right, on the ground that the
most critical period in IL turkeys life is the
first month, that afterwards they are not
much trouble, that Il turkey can be fltted
for the market Tor seventy-fvc cents It

plaintiff will average twelve and half
pounds apiece, dressed, and sell for TWEEN

defendant was not guilty of negligence in
the fastening, and the value of the turkeys
was Sl9.22.

tFrom our regular correspondent
Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. D.
The first day of 1877 was remarkable
for such snow as has been rarely seen in
this latitude, and during the week, sleighs
have almost universally taken the place of
wheeled vehicles. Yesterday there was
an impromptu sleighing carnival on Penn
sylvania Avenue. The district commits
sioncrs had given their consent to the
sport, and u division of the police had been
detailed TO keep order. Those taking
part in the procession were expected to be
in masquerade costume, but this part OF
the programme was not strictly adhered to
Indeed it was not to be supposed that our
Washington bellies would iorego such an
opportunity to display their artistic faces
and bleached hair. Many Of them were
panoplicd in all their dazzling beauty,
About three o'clock the masqueraders be-
gan to make their appearance, and MS
sleigh after sleigh dashed past each with
its freight of grotesque and rainbow hued
humanity, the avenue presented an appear
ance of great gaiety, and fun end merri-
ment prevailed every where. The sides
of the streets were thronged with pedes.
trians who seemed TO derive almost as
much pleasure in the role of spectators, as
the masquers themselves. From the
Treasury to the Capital the avenue was
crowded with sleighs of every description,
from the graceful swan-likc cutter, to the
barrel or dry goods box mounted on clum-
sy runners.
The many handsome equipages were OBJ
iects Of surprise to those who saw them,
for it was not known that Washington
could afford so fine q display OF sleigbs
One or two four-horse cutters were notice
able. though the smaller ones, more beau
tilul in design and more graceful ii struc'
ture. attracted fully as much attention and
comment
Later in the day, when the Departments
poured forth their living streams of tired
government clerks, the avenue was crowd
ed us it has not been since the last presi-
dental Inauguration.
There is but little news of II political
character that will not have reached you
by telegraph before you receive this. Just
now the talk is about II new presidential
election, but that it will result in more
than talk, it is impossible to predict. 1t is
said that cX-Governar Tilden will soon
make his permanent residence in this city,
occupying IL suite of rooms in one of the
large hotels 1t is also reported that Gov
err or Hayes will, before the fourth Of
March, become the guest of President
Grant at the White House, and that after
the fourth f March he will have the van
lage of possession, and lie maintained
there, if need be, by force. There are
other solutions suggested, such as the vice
presidents holding over. Indeed, every
man that can obtain space in the papers
seems to have II pa area for the national
ills Meanwhile, we wait, and watch,
and pray, until the l4h of February and
the 4th Of March, which being time, wait
for III ithCr men nor nations. C.

Mr.. Wheeler left New York, Monday,
to accept Gov. Hayes's Invitation for Il
visit at the later's home in Fremont. O.
Strangest event yet is the want of Il quo
rum in the Mississippi Legislature on the
first day of the session because the trains
were snow bound.
Myer, the new Pennsylvania speaker,
was elected on the State house question
and not common politics. He is opposed
to the plan of making Philadelphia the
capital.
1t is an onimous fact for Senator Logan
that the Independents, who hold the bal
ance of power in the Illinois Legislature.
have made an alliance in the Senate with
the Democrats. If this is adhered TO in
both houses. it will be useless for Mr..
Logan to hope for reelection.
Blaine, Ferry and Logan have been
unanimously renominated for the Senate
by the republicans of Maine, Michigan and
Illinois. But Il few republicans stad out
of the Illinois caucus and Mr.. Logan is
Tar from being sure Of an election, the leg
islature is so close.
The Bennett-Mny duel came off Mon
day afternoon Il mile from Maydel in
Maryland. Three shots were fired and
nobody hurt. Which was very safe way
out of the unpleasantness. Both princi-
pals were pretty well frightened or some.
body would have been hit. This whole
fable teaches that n certain kind of New
York high life is really very low life.
EUROPE The Turkish conferences
amount to nothing so far except to pro.
long the armistice till March. The latest
reports are that the Sultan refuses the pro.
positions made to him and that the result
can hardly be other than war between
Turkey and Russia, the other European
powers keeping out of it. The English
are getting about through supporting Tur-
key for the Sultan refuses point blank the
advice of the English minister.
In Massachusetts, Speaker Long has been
unanimously reelected. j. B. D. Clogs
well, formerly milwaukee, lawyer, was
chosen president of the Senate. Next
Tuesday the Legislature begins voting for
United States Senator to succeed Mr..
Boutwell,. The candidates are Boutwell,,
Gov. Rice, G. F. Hoar and several other
gentlemen may be. Mr.. Hoar is the best
of the three leading candidates. Prof.
Seelye or Collector Simons would do Mass
achusetts more credit than either of the
others and they stand about as good a
chance as any of the Hoar family. That
young Boston collector means to make a
good mark in Bay State politics and he
has compelled the respect of the Boston
gentlemen who were so Mortified at his APP
pointment. The reign of the old families
in Boston politics is done with and the
world and hub both yet revolve.
