OUR ELE("IEON.
The View Taken OF IT. In Washington.
IN Y Uerad.]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-As to Louisiana but
little is known here. There are vague ana
evidently exaggerated accounts OF Violence
and fraud, but it is known that Gov Nichols
has gone in person to the parishes, only two
or three in number in which fraud or disorder
Is said to have been practlced, and with inc
determination to search out wrong and punish
wrongdoers. 1t Is as well for tho Northern
public to await the result OF his efforts. There
Is no evidence that he has not done his duty,
and the fact that the State went strongly
Democratic should count for pothing. 1t
could not help but do so, when the Republ-
cans were utterly disorganized among them
selves and unable to "Organize' the negro
vote, while decent white men were ,repelled
from the Republican ranks by the fact that
Wells, Anderson, Ludeling and the whole odi-
GUS Returning Board gang were, as the req
eral officers in the State, the leaders OF the
| Republican party. Had the President placed
IN the Federal offices in Louisiana men OF
stainless repute and of influence IN their state
it is now known here that the white voters
would have been divided, and the State would
have been easily carried for the Republican
| party by a considerable majority. There is
some reason to believe that the President ana
his Cabinet see this now, and are aware that
| in submitting to the dictation OF the "stal-
wart' Republicans and taking care OF the
Returning Board they not only violated their
own civil service rules and professions, but
lost Louisiana to the Republican party.

WhsutNGToN. Nov. 2G.-There was rear
gurnout of the Credit Mobiler case In the
United States Supreme Court today being
No. 3-United States vs.. Union PACING Rhli~
rond Company, Credit Mobilier and others.
This is MI appeal Of the United States from
the decree Of tho Circuit Court for Conuectl-
cut allowing demurers in the case Inc caes
wDi4 argued at the last term OF court, 81 Whlch
time it WIS stated nt length and tho facts ore
now well known to tbs public rehrgutneft
was ordered and is now IN progress. inc
points involved may be briefly rechpitnlated'
as follows:
The sustaining Of tho domurrcrs was bind
inp. that the, bill filed by the government
mn,ie no cagt, Of equitable relief aud was null
tifnriouH, and in effect that the hct of lbIH
authorizing the suit was uncOliBhtutlOnhl, III
TINT it authorized Il process 70 be served out
side the State where the action was brought
on tho defendant, when it could not bG done
ns to other citizens in that it suspended the
rules in equity as to multifsrious causes, thd
it authorized rational deCrees, thug deprlVlng
perspns Uf their property without que process
Of law by u BpcCinl court set up butSlnc OF the
repl,lnr courts ordained and established by
Congress- "
1t is maintained by the government TINT the
discrimination under the nctas aghinat the de-
f",ldnnts in regard to the process ~ uhlfil-
DOrttnt, for it is Il matter OF indillerenct 70
the suter IN equity where ho i5 sue1' Wn'lt
tho constitution Is specific a8 10 the place ol
trial IN criminal and other ChsfS ut common
law, it Is silent in this respect as to such in
| equity.
In regard to the objection That the act n'1-
thorizes multirariou3neBs in allowing the
! United States to be- q. party, it Is simply q
misjOindcr and the only motion Tor me 'nrh
of that act crente8 NJ right in the Onltch
! States, only adding Il remedy TO those exist
ing. As to all else the statutes leave the
right Of recovery in the company in Bucf
cnsc where The recovery is for such uses az

mere question Of form. This point Of the re

and the property Of the company and It's pro
