current in town that the Shoshaues have
lett Smoky Valley in body and gone
north, headed for Beaw awe, on the Central
Pacific railroad. Ii Is supposed they are
on the way To Join the hostile BannrcEs.
These Indians have always been well treat
ed by the whites and cannot have any
grievances against the white people. They
must in their route north, cross the line of
the Central Pacific railroad somewhere be
tween Battle Mountain and Pslaside. A
large number Of Shoshanes from Belmont,
Eureka and Valleys are here, ostensibIy in
attendance on Bandago, endeavored to
purchase powder and lead in large quanti-
ties. but were refused by store keepers, who
in some instances, were warned by officers
against selling ammunition to the Indians.
Thee Indians have now nearly all left,
going in various directions. The Plutes
are quiet, but very inquisitive about war,
which they profess to deplore.

an individual member OF the judiciary
Committee, to-day submitted at great length
to the House OF Representatives his rea-
sous for dissenting from the resolution and
report OF the majority in regard to the in
violahility of the Presidents title. lie
THINKS It remarkable that in the face OF the
SIXTH section OF the act establishing the FL
ectoral Commission, the Committee should
have come to the conclusion that the pro-
oeedings OF the Commission or of,CongresS
subsequent thereto, constitute an unmov-
able tnaiIty, when the law Itself declares
contrary and the contrary was
EMrHArICALLY ASSURED
by the House OF Representatives. Lut in
stead of constituting a hnahty, those pro :
ceedIngs were on their lace and in express
terms, merely temporary expeJien,y or
de ice To avoid the contingency of lapsed
election, Tor which the Constitution ha.i
made no provision. Congress. he saws, Nv
express words OF law, declared that its oh
ject and effect were provisional only. Tie
President entered upon his office with ii /,
express notice that his tenure was question
able in the character of doubtful validity,
not made abSolr,c by the interpOsition of

be examined and adjudicated upon by the
courts.
lie agrees with the committee that Con-
gress has no power under the Constitution
to confer upon the Supreme Court Of the

sought for it in the Blair -kimmell hill
but he SAYS the question a, issue is whether
the actual President of the nited States
has Just and legal title To the Office lie
