llth proximo. Probably in the early
part of the term a number Of opinions
in important cases argued at the last
term will be announced. Among these
will be the celebrated case OF Hallet
Kilburn, claiming 100000 damages of
the House of Representatives for false
imprisonment. Included among the
cases which are assigned for argument
on the second day Of the ensuing term
are those Of Mcbride VS.. Carl Schurz,
secretary of the interior, In which the
right of the secretary TO cancel a patent
for land duly signed and issued is ques.
toned the Florida railroad cases, in
which there is quite an array OF
legal talent engaged; the Louisiana and
Kentucky lottery cases and the case Of
Miles VS.. the United States, n criminal
case from Utah territory, in which the
plaintiff in error, Miles, was sentenced
to imprisonment for FIVE years and to
pay fine of sl00 for bigamy. The i'm.
portance of this latter case consists in
the fact that involves the constitutional.

ALL FOR HANCOCK.
THE MEXICAN WAR VETERANS RECALL THEIR
BATTLES.


BATTLES.
From the New York Sum- Sept. Is, 1880.
The Mexican War Veterans Associa.
ton celebrated yesterday the twenty
third anniversary of the capture of the
city of Mexico by the American army
under General Winfield Scott. The as
sociation was organized in this city in
1858, with membership OF over one
hundred. Their first President was the
late General Joseph Hooker, who was
succeeded by Major Gen. Jas. Shields.
The present officers of the association
are Colonel w. Linn Tidball, President /;
Charles L. Murphy, Marshal; q. w.
Leonard, Secretary, and VIM. Calligan,
Treasurer. The association has been
reduced by death to fifty members.
Twenty-Five of the survivors, with the
officers, took the half.pa one o'clock
boat to Coney Island yesterday, where
they enjoyed their annual reunion and
dinner at the Sea Beach Palace Hotel.
President Tidball presided at the
table. lie said that it gave him great
pleasure once more to join his old com
rades in arms. Such an occasion car
ried his mind back to the days Of his
early manhood, when he and they
marched into the enemy's country and
helped to achieve those brilliant vic.
tories that added lustre TO American
arms. "And now, comrades" said he,
"fall to, and while we enjoy the ban
quet, let us revive the memories of the
olden time"
Mayor ]. G. Alexander, being the
oldest veteran present tGS years., began
at once TO recall the achievements of the
American army in Mexico. lie de.
scribed with enthusiasm the victories OF
Resace de la Palma, Pslo Alto, and
Cero Gordo. But the old veterans en-
thusiasm reached its height when he
began TO talk Of the storming OF Cha.

| leo. "And at last" said he, when
! that handful of audacious Americans
marched into the Grand Plaza of the
proud city of the Montezumas, did we
not feel proud ?"
The company at the table cheered
! the old veteran TO the echo.
President Tidball then arose to Offer
a toast. Gentleman" said he

distinguished veteran of the Mexican
War. one who has since added undying
lustre TO his name by the great services
rendered TO his country in the war OF

field Scott Hancock
This speech was greeted with three
hearty cheers, and the toast was drunk
with enthusiasm. Then the old yeter.
ans. forgetting their battles, began to
talk politics. They could not, however,
disagree, for they were all Hancock
men. Not being able to find political
opponent among his comrades, one Of
the veterans asked lady present whom
she favored for president.
"Oh. the ladies are all for Hancock, "
said she.
Many other ioasts were drunk, and
after the banquet the veterans strolled
about the beach until evening, when
they departed for home.
