that said Dauphin is engaged in conduct

money through tie mails by means of
false and fraudulent pretensions and prom

of the order of November 13, 1879, so far
as relates to said Dauphin until the cases
shall have been heard and determined bv
the supreme court of the United States.
Signed D. M. KEY.
Postmaster General.
To the postmaster of New Orleans.
1t appears by the recitals that a suit
had been brought to enjoin the Eexecution
of the first order, and that the complainant
had appealed the case to the supreme
court of the United States. The decree.
therefore, of the court in the original iu-
risdiction was adverse to him and the post
master general consented to a temporary
suspension of that order until the case
should have been heard and determined
by the tribunal of last resort. The pre-
vious order was not revoked or cancelled.
If such had been the intention of the post
master general it would have been express
ly declared. 1t was simply in effect provided
that during the pending of the appeal the
execution of the preceding order should
be suspended The dismissal of the ap.
peal therefore in. vacation by appellants
counsel, with the consent of the solicitor
general put an end to the suspension and
restored the binding effect of that order.
It has been strenuously insisted that the
original order was not to be enforced un-
til the case to which the second order re-
fers should have been actually determined
by the supreme court.
cannot acquiesce IN this view, mas
much as complainants could at any time
by dismissing his appeal withdraw the
case from the determination of the court.
The second order would thus at the option
of the complainant have the effect of alb
5olute revocation of the preceding order,
while a mere suspension of it was obvious
ly intended. There is no difference between
perpetual suspension and revocation. The
controlling, indeed only question in the
case, was the COL stItutional power of con-
gress to enact the statute. Upon that
question l have no doubt the supreme
court affirmed the constitutionality of the
act which declared mo letter or circular
concerning lotteries, so called gift con-
Germs, or other similar enterprises, shall be
carried in the mail" In view of this de-
cision that the constitu tionality of the act
is applicable to this case can not be seri-
ously questioned. 1 have confined my
self to matters as they appear from the
records of the department. Something
was stated by the counsel representing the
parties in interest as to verbal agree
ments or understandings, but 1 have not
felt at liberty to consider any other facts
than such as the department records estab-
lish. The first order will therefore be ex-
| ecuted as if the second had not been en-
tered.

| THE HTTZ CASE
The criminal court to-day heard an ar
gument in the Hitz case involving point
that will affect the pending case agains
ex-senator Kellogg, which had been post
poned in order to allow its disposition
as in the Kellogg case pleas of abatemen
had been filed in the Hitz case, but the,
are based upon decimetrically opposite
grounds, so that if the court should decide
in favor of the government in the Hit!
case, and hold the point to be material, i
might result in the failure of the iDdict
