Another Important Decision involv.
! ing Election Cases.

WASHINGTON, October 1j.-AnOther in
tereStlng case involving war legislation
was also decided by the United states SUI
preme Court to-day-namely. the case of
the United States against Edward I. Gale
and William ;. Gibson, which was brought
here on a certificate OF division from the
Circuit Court OF the United States for the
district OF Florida. This was a suit against
the supervisor and clerk OF election in Dis
trict No. s, in Marion county, Fla, on the
occasion Of the election OF congressional
representative in 1873. The indictment
charged the defendants with misconduct
as election officers in stufling the ballot
box with fictitious tickets and abstracting
tickets which had been voted. The de-
fence was that sections jjl2 and j515 Of
the Revised Statutes. upon which the in
dictment was based, and section $40, under
which was chosen the grand Jury by which
the indictment was found, were unconsti-
tutional and void.
The Court disposes OF the first part OF
the defence very briefly by saying that the
question OF the validity OF sections 55l2
and 55l5 has already been decided by this
Court in the case OF Siebold Il Clarke, 100
United States 371-399, and was determined
In favor OF their validity. Section $40,
upon which the second part Of the de-
fence was based, contained statement Of
causes for the disqualification and challenge
