of the United States will convene for The
October term, 1880, on Monday next. 1t is
probable that the Louisian and Kentucky

ment on the first day of the term, will not
be heard at present on account Of the tschni-
cal iniormality of the proceedings. The
United States court has twice held that suits
involving an application for mandamus
against An officer of the United States cannot
be sustained after that officer has gone out
of office, and ceased to perform the duties of
