The Supreme Court is still excluded FROM
the Supreme Court rooms, but motions are
made by members of the bar before the
tribunal created by Mr.. Nichclls. Business
seems to move smoothly, probably because
the efficient minute clerk, Thomas McC.
Hyman, is kept at the desk. Sheriff Alfred
Bourges, accompanied only by a deputy,
Mr.. Frank Wilson, made demand for pos
session yesterday, but was refused, and
consequently was obliged to retire.
The Superior Civil Court transacted some
little business yesterday and adjourned at
twelve o'clock. Soon after deputies of Mr..
Handy took possession, under a process en-
titled Fifth District Court, State vs. Alfred
Shaw, more fully referred to elsewhere,
and the deputy clerks retired.
In the other civil courts none of the
Judges have been commissioned by the Gov
ernor, but are sitting as the successors of
the late judges.

WASHINGTON.
Committee Work.

WASHINGTON, January l0.-Tha special
House committee on the privileges, powers
and duties of the House of Representatives
on counting the electoral votes has so far
agreed on only two points: First-The
President of the Senate has no power to
count the votes. Second-That the House
has equal power with the Senate in count
ing the electoral votes.
The New York banker, DymOnd, sub
mitted bis books to the committee of privi-
leges and elections. They develop nothing
1t Is trRnspiring that the National Exchange
committee retained lawyers on both the
Atlantic and Pacific slopes. The lawyers
got the money.
q The Judiciary Committee having under
consideration the cOntumacy of the tele-
graph operators and the Louisiana Return
ing Board, had no meeting this morning.
Pacific Railroad.
The Pacific railroad committee of the
House are in prolonged session; all the
questions affecting the main stem are est
tied. The, contest is over the branches
generally, but especially the two from New
Orleans and the three from St. Louis.
The Rival Interests.
The report of the Texas Pacific Railroad
Committee is delayed by bitter contest
over the branches. There are seven Of
these represented before the committee
three centering at St. Louis and two at New
Orleans. Senator West supports the New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg road,
commonly known as the Backbone, In which
he is said TO be largely interested, as we'll
as in the North Louisiana road. The Louis
lana delegation IN the House unanimously
| supports the New Orleans Pacific railroad.
II is generally apprehended that the sac
| rifiee of the New Orleans Pacific railway
will seriously ieopsrdize and probably do
feat the bill granting government aid TO
/ the whole enterprise. The friends of the
New Orleans Pacific railway state that it
is under rapid progress of construction by
subscriptions from citizens Of New Orleans
and the country parishes, while the Back
bone has done no work, but reliea upon its
expired last March.

When those estimable and accommo-
dating gentlemen, the recorder of mort
cages and register of eonveyances ap-
preached their offices yesterday, they discOv-
cred the same in the keeping of body of
men claiming to represent the Nichols gov.
ernment, and they were unable to enter to
perform their duties. A large number of
nOtaries and business men having occasion
to visit the place were turned away. A
number of such made vigorous protesU to
General Nichols, and that gentleman gave
orders that the Office should be opened. An
attempt was made to open it, but the
guards interfered to prevent it. Another
appeal was made by interested parties to
Nichols, who about three o'clock Or
dered the guards to be withdrawn. The
guards SO far recognized the orders of their
commander as to permit the offices to be
opened, while they remained on the prem
ises.
The Oldest inhabitants, in the national
line, protested that in forty years, IN all
kinds of political turmoil, the closing Of
these offices has been unheard of-such g
grab for Office has no precedent. When il
is known that these offices are this deposi
( tory of government records; that here are
filed or recorded all United States titles
bonds and seizures, perhaps the command
ing General may see that the protection O
public property requires some action upOl

Pardoned.

A private dispatch from Washington yes
terday contained the gratifying intelligence
that President Grant had exercised his ex-
ecutive clemency and had pardoned John
Henderson and William G. james and that
both were on their way home to New Or
leans.
This act of the President, especially in
the case of Mr., James, will be approved by
the majority of people. Many have ex-
peeted that Mr.. Henderson would be par
doned in time, but all who knew Mr.. James
hoped and desired it. If there was any
responsibility on his part for the crime of
violating the revenue laws, it was not that
of conspiracy to defrAud, nor did he receive
bribe for neglect of duty. In the theory
of the prosecution, so tenaciously pressed
at the time, no fraud could be committed if
the gauger and ali other officers observed
the multifarious and minute directions OF
the act. The slightest variation constituted
the Offense. During the trial the sympa.
thizsrs with Mr.. James grew in numbers,
and, when surprised by the verdict and
sentence, devoted their energies to procur.
ing his pardon. In granting their petition
the President has shown that he believes
with them that if Mr.. James career as a
civil officer of the government does moi
equal his record as a soldier, his one fail
ure was caused neither by lack of honor
nor guilty intent.

Mr.. Ogden remains acting president, as
MIR. Wiltz found employment elsewhere.
After notices of the following Bills were
given, the Senate branch went into secret
session:
BY Mr.. GOOde-Bills to regulate elections
and the revenue. D..
BY Mr.. Texada-To reduce the fees paid
to tax collectors.
By Mr.. GeOrge-To abolish the offices of
district superintendents of pubic educa-
ton.
By Mr.. Boatner-To amend articles 1854
and 276 of the Code of Practice.
By Mr.. White-To regulate the tees of
the recorder of mortgages in the parish of
Orleans.
In the lower branch the members seemed
prepared for active work, and Mr. Wash
burne offered resolution directing the
committee on lands and levees to investi-
gate the affairs of the Levee Company,
which WAS adopted.
Both branches thereafter held a joint
session to elect United States Senator, but
no choice was made. Mr.. Egan was the
favorite on the ballOtings, and his vote, the
highest received, was 81.
