The INSCRIPTIONS Democratic majority in the
House, in manner fully consistent with the in
famous character Of the measure, yesterday af-
ternoou forced the congressional redstricting
swindle through to final passage, wholly in dis
regard Of the parliamentary rights of the minor
ity. The bill was called up for consideration out
OF the regular order of business and when the
objection was made by Mr. Sayre that the pro
ceedug was irregular and out OF order, the
Speaker oyerruled his point, which was clear
~ sustained by the rules of the House. When
Mr. Sayre appealed to the House from the un-
fair and unjustifabe ruling, the Speaker wholly
ignored the raomber's parliamentary rights and
allowed no consideration Of the appeal until after
the bin upon which the question was raised had
passed The previous question upon the bill
was demanded by the Democrats, and no dis
cussion of it was permitted. The vote on its
passage was So to 40, as follows:

Justice SheftsIrs Discussion of the Case
Against j. N. Maupas.


Last week the NEWS mentioned the fact
that the case OF the Vernon Shell Road
Company, for the use of T. F. Churchill,
lessee, against J. N. Maupas, was heard
in Magistrate 7. J. Sheftall's Court, and
that upon the conclusion Of the argument
ofthe counsel the decision Of the Magis-
trate was reserved. The decision was
rendered yesterday. II will be re-
membered that the plaintiff also
brought suit against Charles Seller
and Charles De LamOtta for toll. and as
he principles involved in these cases
were similar TO those in this case the de-
c'slon in one applies TO the others. The
suit against Maupas was brought IN
stated account Tor toll due the plaintiff
under'a franchise granted by the General
Assembly In 1859. 10 was alleged that
Maupas used the turnpike, but refused TO
pay tine usual toll. aud that he Was there
fore indebted 20 the plaintiff The defend
ant, in denying his Indebtedness, claimed
Thar the plaintiff had not fulfilled the pro-
visions OF the charter, and therefore
should not be allowed % collect toll under
IT,. lie also claimed that the amount OF
bis Indebtedness was 81, and that be had
made tender OF the amount to the plaintiff
The plaintiff introduced testimony 20
show that the amount claimed--S2i DO
was not excessive.
Tire court, ia passing upon the question
as 20 whether the plaintiff had fulfilled
the provisions Of the charter, held 20
had no jurisdiction, especially on a col
lateral issue, such a. was the case
no bar, and that the matter could only be
decided ON an issue directly made by the
state against the piaintif.
The court also held that the question
whether the company had the right TO
lease the franchise % Churchill was be-
You'd its jurisdiction, but that the defen.
dant owed the amount claimed either 70
the company or the lessee, the parties
plaintiff. The defendant had failed under
the contract with the plaintiff TO pay
az the rate Of 81 per
month in advance, hence the
plaintiff was restored % his right 10
charge tull rates. In conclusion Justice
Sheitall held that ample testimony had
been addueed 20 prove that the defendant
mad used the road at the times stated in
the declaration, and that the charges were
usual and reasonable, and justified by the
terms Of the charter. Judgment was ac-
cordingly rendered for the plaintiff.
