Cases I'm the United states Supreme
EnnFl

WASHINGTON, March IL. The following
cases were argued In the United States Su-
preme Court to-day:
SALE ON EXECUTION WITHOUT DUE SEIZURE.
No. 17s Mary II. Montgomery vs. Henry
Samory.-Error to Circuit Court for Louis
lana. This was an action to recover
real estate sold under execution while de-
fendant In the proceeding was absent in the
Confederate service. The defense set forth
that there was not valid seizure of the prop
erty by the sheriff and that the sale WAS con-
sequently void. TO this 1t was answered that
at the time OF the sale the government of the
United States was In the possession of the
property as having been abandoned, and that
seizure was therefore impossible. The court
sustained the sale, and It Is here insisted that
as there was no notice to the defendant In
the proceedings and could be none, there
was not due process of law and the proceed
ings were void and 1t Is also insisted that the
fact that the property was at the time In the
possession OF the government Is not an an
swer to the defense of '.no seizure" that a.
party to an execution sale obtains no title
where there has been no seizure.
ORDINANCE CONDITIONS IN THE ISSUE OF
MUNICIPAL BONDS.
No. IT. Town Of Brooklyn VS.. HGtna Life
Insurance Company.--Erro to the Circuit
Court for the Northern District OF Illinois.
This was an action on bonds issued by the
town In aid Of the Chicago and Rock River
Railroad. The defense was that they were
issued without the authority OF the town by
one of its supervisors, and that no provision
of law had been complied with that they were
not to be issued till the road was completed
through the town, and 1t was not only not
completed but had been abandoned. 1t ap-
pears that the town, and not the act OF the
Legislature which authorized the issue OF the
bonds, imposed the condition that they should
not issue until the road was completed 1t
was held that the bonds are valid, being issued
by the supervisor and In the hands Of innocent
parties, without notice of the act hav-
Ing directed their issue Upon a vote of the
town in favor of such subscription, 1t was de-
termined that the act Of the supervisor was
authorized, and this ruling Is assigned as er-
ror In this court

THE CATTLE DISEASE.
New York Cattle Dealers Anxious To Have
the Transportation Of Cattle
from Europe Prohibited.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE cattle trade
continues to be the subiecto the most earnest
consideration by the treasury officers.
An nof1icial letter was received at the depart
meut to-day, through the Department of
State from Denmark, notifying this govern
ment that no cattle from the United States
will be allowed to be imported into that king
dom. No reason Is assigned.
A letter was also received from Sir Edward
Thornton. requesting the government to
have veterinary surgeons appointed at New
York and San Francisco to inspect all cattle
intended for shipment to New South Wales,
to comply with certain regulations there.
Some Of the State authorities In New York
have written here urging the Secretary of the
Treasury to make the order of February &C.
which only applied to England, general to all
Europe.
Gen. Patrick, agent OF the government In
New York, In his report says he has ordered
about 600 cattle to be killed within few
weeks, all Of them suffering from pleuro-pneu-
monia.
In reply to q letter from Collector Thomas,
at Baltimore, asking whether the order of
February 26 applies to cattle brought from the
Isle of Jersey for breeding purposes, Assis-
tant Secretary Of the Treasury French an
swered to-day that the Isle Of Jersey was not
included In the order, but most of the Jersey
cattle are brought from English ports, mainly
which Is covered by the order.
New York parties who are trying to have
the order Of February 26 extended to the
whole Of Europe, claim that Jersey cattle will
be taken to Havre and there shipped to the
United States, Ii they cannot be shipped
from English ports, and the only safe way to
stop the disease from spreading Is to prohibit
cattle from any port OF Europe.
Treasury officials are satisfied that the
steps now taken will In short time extirpete
The disease now prevailing in the eastern
part of this country.

NEW ORLEANS AT GALVESTON.

We clip the following item of news from the
Galveston Ne,os of the ninth instant. 1t will.

aquatic sports. and to the any friends of the
favorite single-scull oarsman of the Crescent

The visit paid this city on Friday by Mr.. E..
b. Musgrove. of New Orleans was in the inter-
est OF arranging the race between his brother
u. g. Musgroye, and John Crofty, Of this city.
The first proposition made to Mr.. Crotty was
iige-mtle race, and although an extraordinary
course. the Galveston oarsman accepted the pro
position at once. 1t now appears that three.
mile race Is more to the taste Of the Cresc99IHt
City, and with this view Of shortening the dl5.

the race Mr. Musgrove objected 10 DalIas on
the ground that he and r. G. Mu5groye were

and that fact might make him parg1ial IN NE me-
decision. On the same grouG1u 1,al5arah1a ~ Tqa

The objection TO Mr.. Dallas places MT. Crotty IN
an emharrassment, as he had already secured
Mr. Dallas as either Judge or referee. but as
this point was urged with great hrmness II was
finally conceded.

SENATOR BECK's VIEWS ON THE RE-
PEAL OF THE FEDERAL
ELECTION LAWS.
The Veto Power Of the President Never
Used to Prevent the Repeal
Of any Law.

The Veto Power Of the President Never
Used to Prevent the Repeal
Of any Law.
WASHINGTON, March H. Senator Beck ex-
presses the opinion that the Committee on
Appropriations will be the only committee or
ganlzed, and that 1t will report bills that were
reported at last session, and no new legisla-
ton Of any kind will be proposed. BY this,
he means that bills will be reported Just as
they were left when Congress adjourned In
reply to the question as TO whether or not
the Legislative, executive and judicial bills
would be divided, In order to avoid the con-
stitutional objection In regard to the payment
Of the Presidents salary at stated periods,
Mr. Beck said That In the entire history OF
the government no President has ever vetoed
bill to repeal law. His prerogative OF
veto is given to prevent Legislation that is un-
constitutional, or that enCroaches upon the
judicial or Legislative departments. Now we
propose only to repeal laws that have been
enacted during the last twelve or fifteen
years, by the Republican party. Most OF
these laws were passed on appropriation bills,
and we propose To repeal them i'm the same
way. The people of the country, through the
National Legislature, have pronounced In
favor of the repeal of these laws. They have
condemned them, and there is no warrant for
the President to veto them. | do not believe
that he ever said he would.
