lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WAsHINGToN March 1S.-There has been great
rejoicing among the Republicans in Washington
to-day, over the decision of the Supreme Court OF
Louisiana reversing the action of Judge Whitaker's
Court in General AndersOn's case, and ordering
the release Of the members Of the Return
ing Board. This decision relieves Governor
Nichols from very delicate and important
duty II the Supreme Court of the State
had sustained the validity of the decision Of the
Court below, Governor Nichols would have been
called upon to pardon General Anderson inthe face
of the most bitter opposition from the Bourbon
Democrats His nearest friends in Washington have
always expressed the opinion that he would do it,
buphave regretted that circumstances should have
seemed to make it necessary for him TO antagonize
any portion of his party. If on the
other hand. the Supreme Court had postponed
its decision in this case until after the adjournment
of the special session of the Legislature, there would
have been legal or constitutional obstacle In the
way of the Governors PROMPT action in the case.
Able Democratic lawyers have expressed surprise,
to-day, that any prosecuting Oflcer IN Louisiana
should have drawn indictment that was open TO
the objections urged by the Supreme Court, If they
existed. OF that the Judge Of any inferior Court
should not have discovered this Objection when try

AN UNEXPECTED DECISION.


THE DECISION OF JUDGE wHITAKER's COURT RE-
THE CHARGE IN THE INFORMATION NOT PROVED
ON THE TRIAL.
New ORLEANS, March 1S.-The Supreme Court
this morning was crowded with members of the
bar politicians and ANXIOUS to hear the
decision III the case of the State against Thomas G.
Anderson. convicted in the Superior Criminal Court
for publishing as true forged and counterfeit re-
turns of election from the Parish of Vernon.
Chief-Justce Manning read very long opinion
in the CASE After reviewing the charge, verdict and
sentence the Court took mp two of the exceptiOnsa
being the only ones necessary to consider in render.
ing Judgment. They were "There had been no
preliminary examination" and, at is not prac.
tice to prosecute by al information" Both excep-
tiOns dismissed the first upon the ground that
preliminary examination is not essential, and the
second that prosecution by information has been
common rule in criminal prosecutions for many
years. The exception to the drawing of the jury was
also dismissed, ON the ground that a violation Of
the spirit of the law is not pretended. Relative to
the offence ITSELF the Court gave abstract Of the
Election Law. detailing its requirements. The ex-
act method prescribed in law was fully described.
The record offered in evidence did not conform with
that mentioned in the information The document
offered was consolidated statement" certified by
the Register Of Voters. and not the original re-
turns" and the statute of State does not attach
much value to this consolidated statement. The
original returns, not being altered, would not
change the result of election nor interfere with
the interest of the people. The paper offered
in evidence Is not the paper charged as
being forged. In order to be forgery, an
instrument which it is alleged is falsifed
must, if true be legally capable of committing
fraud. Nowhere in law consolidated return re-
qured as a declaration of result and its alteration
or modification can in way affect an election. Ii
every consolidated return forged and the Re-
turning Board complied with law and made
their statements from Commissioners returns.
10 injury could result. 1t does not appear
that any paper has been forged that is calculated,
with compliance with law, to change the result of
the election. IL is the of this crime that 1t
should be committed by public officer, and on
document which would change the result Of cleo
ton. This not done.
The letter of John Sherman, Stanley Matthews,
and others, which appeared in the record, was
alluded to by the Chief Justice, who stated that
it should be treated by the public in Ike manner as

attempted 10 influence the decision of the court III
