theft Of sd goo from the L. s. Treasury i'm
the spring of 1875. W. H. Ottman deposited
$1,000 in cash with the German Banking
company, OF Alexandra. On hearing of the
Whereabouts of this money the officers of the
treasury caused it 10 be attached, q suit
being instituted for the United States in the
Alexandria hastings court by District Attor-
ney Lewis for that purpose. After the at
iacnment process was executed the suit was
removed into the L. =. court of that district
There were motions to quash the proceed
counsel nom time to time, which were all
oyerruled by Judge Hughes. Finally, in
May last, Hon. Matt. Carpenter and NJ r.
L. Smith, filed a plea To the Jurisdiction.
which was argued at length at the time by
three gentlemen for OItman and by Mr.
Lewis and Hon. j. NJ. Wilson for the United
STATES. On Tuesday Judge Hughes deliy-
ered written opinion on the questions in
vowed. and entered an order OVerrnling the
plea and requiring the cause to proceed on
us merits. The two principles decided by
Judge Hughes are the following: First
congress has constitutional power to confer
on L. ;. counts jurisdiction of suits brought
against hon-TeSldenis in the district in which
The suits are brought. Second, Congress has
conferred this jurisdiction as 10 suits com
menced in state courts by attachment
against DOn-residents, and removed into 4.
= counts, by sections and of the act of
March ), 1873, Ito determine the jurisdiction
