FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

Not Much Danger of the Passage of
Either of the Bills.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Southern men
in congress have no great fear that the
republicans will be able to put new federal
election law, either like Mr.. Lodges or Mr..
McComas', on the statute books. They
have had intimations from western and
northwestern republicans indicating that
they consider the proposition to increase
the coinage of silver as of paramount i'm
portance to any form of election law
Unless the party whip is applied the demo-
cratic leaders do not expect 60 see either the
Lodge or McComas bill pass the House.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Two Handed Down Involving the
Jurisdiction OF the Federal Courts.

Two Handed Down Involving the
Jurisdiction OF the Federal Courts.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The supreme
court Of the United States to-day affirmed
the Judgment of the circuit court for the
Eastern district of Virginia granting a writ
of habeas corpus to Wilson Loney, con-
victed in one of the state courts of perjury.
Loney, it was alleged, swore falsely in Civ
ing before a notary public testimony to be
used in the Virginia contested election case
Waddell VS.. Wise, from Richmond district.
The court held that though notaries public
are state officers, the testimony given in
congressional contested election cases is
given in obedience to the law of the United
States and not of the state This being the
case the accused should have been tried be-
fore the federal court and not the state
court. Justice Gray, in delivering the
courts opinion, says: "The administration
of Justice by national tribunals would be
greatly embarrassed if witness testifving
before United States court were liable to
prosecution in state court where local
passion or prejudice might prevail A wit
ness who gives his testimony pursuant to
the laws of the United States, whether in
the presence of national tribunal or of an
officer delegated by the United States no.
taries public, for instance, in the present
case, is not amenable to the state, but to the
federal courts.h
THE GREEN CASE
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Gray, reversed the Judgment of the
same court granting a writ of habeas
corpus to Charles Green, convicted Of fraud
ulent voting at the last presidential election.
Green's application was granted by the
lower court on the same grounds stated in
the case of Loney, viz. That be should
have been tried in the federal and not In
the state court Justice Gray, however,
holds that Green's offenSe is a
state matter. Although presidential
electors are appointed IA pur-
suance of the constitution of the United
States, he Essays they are no more officers aud
agents of the United States than are NOM
bers of state legislatures acting as electors
for senators. The Judgment granting
Green writ of habeas corpus is therefore
reversed and the case sent back to the lower
court to have Green remanded to the GUS
tody of the state officers.
