An Inter-Ocean special from Indian |
apolis says: Through failure of the Mar |
shall of the Eighth district to properly |
make returns the plurality of Gen. Gar
field in Indiana is cut dawn to 3,77l.
The State law requires that on the third
Monday of November the Marshal, who
the Governor appoints for each Congress
sional district, shall make returns of the
vote for that district to the Canvassing
Board, who shall declare the result. No
return was made to-day from the Eighth
district, but the result in the State was
not affected thereby. 1t is probable the
Marshal for that district, who is thor
oughly reliable man, failed in some way
to be notified by the Governor of his ap-
pointment The loose and worthless law
will now probably be amended. 1t is q
narrow escape for Indiana.

w WASHINGTON, November %.
A decision was rendered by the Su-
preme Court to-day in the case of the
1vanhoe Mining Company, plaintiff, in
error, against the Keystone Consolidated
Mining Company, involving the title to
the eastern half Of section SO in Amador
county, in possession of the keystone
Company, under patent of the United
States, which is claimed by the Ivanhoe
Company, under grant to California for
school purposes. This court holds that
the title to the land in controversy did
not pass to California by school grant
act of 1853, for the reason, frat, that all
mineral lands were intended by Con-
to be exempted from the operation of the
school grant act, by virtue of section 7 of
that law. The Judgment of the Circuit
Court Of the United States for the Dis
trict of California is therefore affirmed.
Judge Field took no part in the decision.

Hon. J. Floyd King, Congressman Of
the Fifth Louisiana district, to-day wrote
letter to the President in regard to the
outrage report of w. B. Lanier, in which
he says: Commissioner Raum, on the
report of Lanier, Internal Revenue Col.
lector of the Fifth Congressional district,
where he recently became candidate for
Congress has ordered him to procure an
armed force. There is perfect peace and
quiet in the district, and no violation OF
laws or the rights of any one. Lanier no
more needs United States troops than
does Raum in the Treasury, or than I do
while attending the session Of Congress-.
, Lanier is short in his accounts in large
, amount, AZ State Collector, and has more
than once been engaged in desperate
broils mot political), resulting in the
death Of his antagonist. Should such 9
man be appointed to such responsible
Office as Internal Revenue Collector, and
be armed with authority to use troops OF
armed men in the midst of profound
peace against population observing tht
laws of their country and busy in peace
full occupation?"
