ELECTION LITIGATION.

Another Case Before the U. 8. Supreme
Court Involving tho Constitutionality of
The Election Laws.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-No. 6. Original ex
parte, Augustin Flocke, petitioner. Argument
commenced by Attorney General Devens in
opposition to the petitioner, and by George
Hoodler for petitioner. The petitioner in this
case was in 1878 one of the judges of election
for certain precincts in Cincinnati. He
was indicted in the q. 8. district court for the
southern district of Ohio for violation of duty
imposed by the laws of the State upon him as
such judge in the Congressional election held
October of that year. At the February term,
1879, of said court he was tried and con-
victed upon indictment and sentenced to
twelve months imprisonment, and to pay fine
in costs. He now petitions this court for the
discharge of his corpus ON the ground that the
statutory provisions, under which he was in
dicted, were invalid. and the United States
circuit court had no jurisdiction in the
premises.
1t is here maintained by counsel in behalf of
petitioner that the circuit court was without
jurisdiction for the reason that, although
violation of duty imposed by State may be
an offense cognizable under authority
of the State, it can never be crime cognizable
under authority of the United States, as it
g.
constitution. In order to give the federal
| court jurisdiction, it is admitted that Con-
gress may, under article l, section of the
constitution, alter the regulations prescribed
by State legislature relative to the manner of
holding elections for representatives, but since
| the regulation thus altered removes State
law, and does not become federal regulation,
it must be enforced by the State and not feder-
al agencies. All that Congress has done, however,
| in section 5,5l5 of the revised statutes is to
add penalty for the violation of the States
own regulation and this counsel maintain is
| unconstitutional because 1t obviously exceeds
| the power vested by the constitution in the
federal government. Punishment for a viola
ton of the law of Ohio can't in the nature of
things be the means of enforcing obedience to
| any federal statute.
1t is argued, furthermore, that section 5.515,
| revised statutes, is unconstitutional, because
| it attempts to punish State off ,ers for fiscal
acts and omissions. State officers, as such, it
! is claimed, cannot be required to perform fed
eral duties or be punished for their non-per-
| Torrance. .
In behalf of the United States, it is argued,
First, That Congress has full and unqualified
power to regulate the manner of holding cleo
| tions of members thareof.
Second, That this power included authority
| to adopt whatever means may be deemed neces-
sary or expedient in conducting such elections
and determining the results thereof; and
third, That Congress can punish any enacted
violation of laws adopted under aforesaid
power.

~ Gratifying Showing from Ninteen Lead
ing Cities.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The exchanges of nine
teen principal cities for the week ending ooto-
Der Is, amounted to $l0S,27l,7'6. The Public
says this is splendid record of exchanges,
surprising, in the rapidity Of increase, that of
any other week for six years and probably for
a much longer time, and is sufficient answer
to all doubts as to the solidity and reality of
the improvement in business. Only two cities
out of the nineteen show any decrease In the
amount of exchange. Six Cities and among
them several of the largest, show gains of more
than SO per cent, and nine report gains of more
than 40 per cent. The increase at New York is
IN part due to speculative operations, both in
stocks and grain, but the increase in other
cities is large enough and general enough to
remove all doubt as to the character Of the
movement

HONE FROM OMAHA,
Gen. McLaren's Trip With the Noted Mem.
bers of Doc. Mlddleten's Gang.

Gen. McLaren's Trip With the Noted Mem.
bers of Doc. Middleten's Gang.
United States Marshal McLaren returned
home yesterday from Omaha, to which place
he had assisted Special Agent Llewellyn to es-
cort the noted robbers Nolan and johnson.
Altogether the marshal declares the journey to
have been an interesting one, due greatly
to Nelson's commissioners. He was
very free to talk about his Career, but wien
the point confessing guilt of any crime laid
to his charge was reached he was discreetly
silent
From the marshal's account Nolan is man
of parts and has traits of character that
both command respect and admiration.
Nolan gave quite an extended account of
his connection with the Doc. Middleton gang
of horse thieves, which sounds like romance
in the adventures related and tho organization
of the robber band.
Middleton was feudal lord, as it were, in
the Niobrara country, and had the settlers of
that region IS his willing and admiring vassalS,
while he lived in camp surrounded by An
armed and alert band of sixty eight men, of
which Nolan and johnson were members
Middleton married in this section and had all
his wife's family to back him up, and through
them all the settlers were won to his support.
Nolan gives an account of Middleton's cap
ture. brought about BY Llewellyn, and with
great olsoAln says 1t WIN treacherGus. Nolan
believes in . square, stand-up-revolver-rosrin
fight, but the fnesse of diplomacy he abhors
Llewellyn's part In the capture of Middleton
was one requiring pluck and nerve of IN extra
ordinary degree. He visited Middleton's camp,
oonceallng comrade in the woods near by,
aud remained with the gang for three or four
days. finally decoying Middleton near the am
buscade of his comrade.
Llewellyn gave the signal, and Middleton's
horse was shot, but not before the horse thief
chieftain had seen the trap set for him, and had
Cotton the drop on the man in ambush, to the
extent of two shots, from which Llewellyn's
companion suffers and is disabled to-day. In
the melee. Llewellyn expected to capture Mid
dleton, but he escaped, but not before he 70
ceived terrible wound, and, while nursinR it,
was subsequently arrested. This coup de guerre
is what Nolan despises.
During tho trip through Minnesota. at every
station, an immense crowd was in waiting, and
crowded the cars to take . look At
the outlaws. Without any particular incident
however, the escort and prisoners reached
Omaha, and Nolan and johnson were given
into the custody of the United States marshal
of Nebraska and lodged in Jail.
Gen. McLaren reports that Major Thorn
| burgh'a funeral, he who was lately killed by
the Utes, took place at Omaha Wednesday
afternoon. The interment took place under
the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, and the
| United States military was also paraded in
large numbers. The funeral WAS largely at
tended and imposing.

ARREST OF o'CONNoR.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WArERv11LE LIE Sueur Co., OCT. 23.-We
have Tom O'Connor, the man who made the
deadly assault upon Lawrence Vaughan Tues
day last near Lake Washington, LIE Sueur
county. He was arrested yesterday by officer
Thos. E. Ryan, formerly of St. Paul. Officer
Ryan had description of OConnor from two
men living where the cutting was done. o. Con-
nor says he did the cutting and that he would
do the same thing again under the same cir.
cumstances. He is hard looking case. He
Dragged before his arrest that he.knew the Of
hcers were after him, but that he would kill
two three of them if they undertook to ar
rest him. and that he would not be taken alive.
When Ryan discovered him he was walking
along with his hand in his pocket. Ryan
quietly ran up behind him, and seized hold of
the hand in his pocket, at the same time
thrusting the barrel of loaded revolver into
his face. O'Connor taken completely by
surprise and made no effort at resistance. He
confined in the Jail here last nj light, and
this morning was surrendered to the sheriff of
LIE Sueur county and the constable of Marys-
burg. 1t is feared by some he viii! be lynched.
Vaughan, 1T appears, married OConnor's
ncice, to which O'Connor was bitterly opposed
and the two men have net been on friendly
terms since. Vaughan is in critical con-
dition, and his death is expected by his physi-
clan In few hours at furthest.

BOON BUSINESS.

Meeting to Consider Ways aud Means--De-
Hnquent observation-disclosures Mills
Logs That Didn't Come--What Is tn Be
Done? ...r.,. .... ...-..
An adjourned meeting of the St. Paul Boom
association was held at the chamber Of COM
MERGE last evening, President Prince in the
chair. The meeting was called to order at s
o'clock, following which Mr.. Thomas Cochran
read statement embodying tho financial con-
dition Ut the association, an account of which
was published in the report of the last meet
ing. s -. -.... e. ns- s, 1T
It was stated that six million feet of logs
had been driven towards the boom. some of
which had been held by low water below the
falls. The government sluice-way was nearly
done and there was no further trouble with
Minneapolis lumbermen.
Mr. Prince also stated that several parties
had recently visited st. Paul with the view of
locating mill. A prominent mill owner at
purpose of inspecting = new 100000 mill
which had failed in business, and which the
gentleman alluded to thought of bringing to
st. Paul. In answer to query Mr.. Prince ex-
planned that what the urgent need of the asso-
citation was an increase in stock. The sub
scription list was low and an effort should be
made to increase the amount as soon al posi-
BILE.
Mr.. Cochran stated that the Minneapolis
subscribers were opposed 10 paying the amount
of their subscriptions, and that the contractors
for the construction of the boom were clamor-
ous for tho balance of, money due on their
contract, viz, $4,000. Mr.. Cochran also called
attention to the necessity of raising money to
clean the boom. The Minneapolis Boom COM
pany had sent saw dust and slabs over the falls
which had formed . bar over the st. Paul boom.
The speaker thought that at least $4,000 or
$l0, 900 should be raised, after which the ques
lions at issue would solve themselves.
In response to q question. Mr.. Cochran stated
that about 81 800 Of the 81. Paul subscriptions
were still unpaid, but that most Of the amount
could be collected.
It was stated that of 5000, 600 feet of logs
for the St. Paul boom only 5000 900 had come
to hand, the remainder having been held OF
sold by tho Minneapolis Boom company.
After considerable talk it was resolved to
issue circular letter to stockholders, asking
them to increase their stock or suggest some
plan for relieving the association.
