THE CONSOLIDATED BOND CASE.
Arguments Of Messrs. Il. BermudeZ, T. j.
Semmes and III. G. Miller.

The argument in the great mandamus case
before Judge Monroe was continued yesterday.
1t was opened on Monday by Mr.. Bermudez
who concluded a three days argument on
Wednesday. The speech Of Mr.. Bermudez
was regarded by all who heard it as one of ex-
traordinary power and research. It was
thought he had exhausted the case for the
REALTORS in his array of authorities and in the
logical skill and force Of statement Of his re-
markable speech Yesterday he was followed
by T. j. Semmes, who appears for certain
property holders who intervene to reduce or
modify the judgment asked for by the re-
lators' suit, who contend for the validity Of
the consolidated bonds and for the legality
and right Of their claim for a mandamus
against the city.
Mr.. Semmes' argument was directed es-
pecially against the city's plea of the uncon-
stitutiona1ity Of the title OF the act authorizing
the issue Of the bonds, and Of the inequality
and want OF uniformity of the tax.
On these two and other points in the rela-
tors case, Nh. Semnles sustained his high

THE RETURNING BOARD CASE,
The Motion for a Removal of the Case Il
the United states court IL Argued
and Taken Under Adyisement.

Yesterday, In the Superior Criminal Court,
the case of the State VS.. the members of the
last Returning Board, was continued, and ar
gument on the petition to remove the case to
the United States Circuit Court closed. The
petition sets forth that the law authorizing the
drawing of jurors operates disadvantageous-
ly to the accused, as it allows too much scope
to the jury commissioners, and that out of
the present venire drawn there is not one col
ored citizen, and that there Is every reason to
believe that the present panel Of jurors are
preiudiced against the accused.
Mr.. Ray, of counsel for Kenner and Casa
nave, referred to the petition of the accused
which claims that they cannot enforce
their rights In this court being per-
dice existing against them, that 1T act R'i No.
Sc of 1877 was detrimental to their inter
ests, as it was specially enacted for the benefit
OF the white population. Under section 641,
United States Revised Statues, Mr.; Ray pro
states that, after the filing Of such state
ment as the above In State court for trans
fer, the State courts shall suspend all further
proceedings.
Judge Ray referred in his argument to the
decision of Judge Bradley in the Gaines suit,
that statement on oath by the defendant Is
all the law requires as requisite for a removal
OF the case. He pressed the point OF prejudice
against the accused, and reviewed at length
| act No. Sc. Judge Ray claimed that the court
had no right to make any order in the case
after the filing Of the petition, and thought it
more in keeping with the dignity of the court
In reply Assistant Attorney General Egan
claimed that the United States Courts were
courts of limited jurisdiction and that Con-
gress never intended, by enacting the section
referred to- to deprive State courts, upon
| mere affidavit, of their powers, excepting In
specific cases, and this was not one.
Mr.. Egan denied the existence of known
prejudice in the venire drawn, and claimed
that this court was entitled to inquire into the
grounds advanced for removal of the case.
Attorney General Ogden followed Mr.. Egan
on behalf of the State, and reviewed concisely
| the legal merits of the application.
Mr.. Castellanos, on behalf of the Returning
| Board, closed the argument for the plain
| tiffs.
Upon the close of the argument the court
took the application under advsement.
