dpscfal nitpatch to The Trtbnne.
WASHINGTON, D. O., July 29.-The case Of the
New Idra Aiming Company against Billy Nc
Garrahan waa argued before Secretary schurz
to-dRy. The argument proceeds on motion on
the part Of the Company to reopen the dec[aion
tnado eight years ago. By which patent Of Tic
mine was refused to the New 1dria Company.
This argument, Of course, reopsns the old story.
The case Ia now 10th before Congrtss and the
courts. The motion 10 secure patent Il Of
course an effort On Tic part Of the Company to
orestal II possible adverse action either on the
part OF Congress Or the courts 1t will bs re-
membered that some eight years ag0 q patent
was about to issue, but was stopped by the d.
rect Interpolation Of President Grant, on the
ground that there we're allegations OF fraud, and
that Congress was about to consider the subject,
The same stata Of things now exists, both
Houses Of Congress havlng tic subject under
confederation.
Montgomery Blair made tho argument against
the motion Of the Nov IdrIa Company for The
patent. It was In substance that AZ tho 8u-
premo Court Of The United States has decided
that McGarrahan has not a title, and as the
Land Office has decided that the New 1dra
Mining Company has no title, md as tho Prest-
dent has ordered the Secretary Of tic Interior
not to give my patent to tho Company pending
consideration by Congress, It is uitl!eu't 10 un-
lorstanI why the Department should now en-
tertatn tho application Of this Company.
The New 1dftn Company to-day was not
represented by counsel, although Judgo Jcre
Black, their counsel, Is tu the city.
