of Colorado, during his thirty days sena-
torship, has succeeded in dining the presi-
dent in great shape, displaying to admir-

ever seen in Washington and being
married by Catholic priest to Mrs. Nc

to get the signatures of his fellow senators.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
A decision was rendered in the supreme
court of the United States to-day in the
important state bond cases of John Ell
lott ct al against the governor, auditor
and treasurer of Louisiana. These were
suits to compel the state officers of Louisi
ana to apply to the payment Of the interest
the state of 1874 all money derived from
the tax of five and one-half mills
levied to pay such bonds by
act No. 3, of 1874, and to continue to levy
and collect said tax, and make such appli
cation of it until such bonds shall be fully
extinguished and discharged. This cour
holds: First-That the state constitution
of Louisiana, of 1879, took away the power

and to apply this tax in accordance will
the act of 1874. Second-That the execu

and have no contract relations with bond
holders. They can only act as the state di
rects them to act, and hold as the state al
lows them to hold. Third-That the cour
cannot assume all the executive power o.
the state, so far as it relates to the en
forcement of this law, and Il

charged with any official duty in respect tt

This court holds that the suits are in effec
