THE UNION VETERAN CORPS
Give Their First Reception Mt Abncr's-A
brilliant Gathering.


The first complimentary reception of the
Union Veteran Corps took place at Abner's last
night. The hall was very prettily decorated
with buntings and flowers, and canaries in
gilded cages hung from the ceiling, and poured
their glad song in rhymthical time with the
orchestra The large assemblage of ladies and
gentlemen testified as to the popularity of the
Veteran organization. Delegations from the
Washington Light Infantry, Washington
Light Guards, and National Rifles were pres
ent, and the contrast between the different
colored uniforms and the handsome costumes
of the ladies was a happy one. Some very
beautiful toilettes were worn by the ladies, and
nearly all the gentlemen wore the regulation
dress-suit. The committee did their utmost
to please every one, and succeeded in a re-
markable degree.
The committees were composed as follows

Railway AppeaI Quashed.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Tin the supreme
court to-day argument was heard in the ap-
peal of the Now York, Chicago and st. Louis
Railway Company from the court of Erie
County. The line of the road runs through
the city of Erie, and when tho contractors
were about laying the tracks on Nineteenth
street in that city, bill in equity was filed
on behalf Of those whose property abutted on
that street, praying an injunction to re-
strain the continuance of the work until
proper compensation had been made
or security given for such injuries as
might be sustained. The injunction was
granted to be dissolved when the railroad
company had made the provisions for indem-
MITIGATION by satisfying claims OF filing the
necessary bonds. In order to facilitate the
completion of tho road the bond was duly ap-
proved and filed and an appeal taken. Chief
Justice Sharswood said that as the injunction
had already been dissolved by the court below
there was left nothing for tho supreme court
to review, and the appeal must DO quashod.

The Son of His Father VIII Flight.

Formal notice was served on Hon. Stanton
]. Peelle, member from the seventh Indiana
district yesterday, of an intention on the part
of Win Z. English son of the lamented w. II.
English, to contest his seat in the Forty
eighth Congress. Mr.. English bases his
claim to the seat OH several grounds, the chief
one being that the Peelle ballots were printed
on distinctively marked paper, contrary to
the law, although he processes to be able to
prove that sufficient number of fraudulent
votes were cast for Peelle to give him more
than the eighty-seven votes by which ma
iority he was elected. The supreme court of
Indiana, wonderful body which makes
opinions one day and swallows them the next,
will pass upon the marked ballot issue before
the next Congress meets, and the House will
be expected to act in accordance with that de-
cision whatever it may be. The Indiana su-
preme court is strongly Democratic.
