eral has rendered decision IN the case Of
the twelve Chinese coolies who are detained
at New Orleans These coolies are on their
way from Cuba to China. and wish to pro
coed overland to San Francisco, where they
expect 10 take steamer. ID is understood
that the decision is the most important yet
made on the construction Of the Chinese ex-
clusion aot, as it is sad to allow the coolies
to proceed to San Francisco, thus establish
ing precedent.
Acting Secretary Batcheller, Of the treas
ury department, to whom the attorney
general has sent his decisinn, refuses to make
the matter public, and states that he will
turn it over to Secretary Window when he
returns TO the city. The Southern Pacific

in this particular case, and sent an attorney,
Mr.. Tweed, TO argue the matter before the
treasury department and the department Of
