ment is part of the Constitution Of the

the Supreme Court, the people hav-
ing passed upon the same in their
from the jurisdiction OF the courts.
President Harvey to-day demanded of See
retary of State Mcfarland a certified copy
of the Constitution of the State, including
this amendment Mcfarland refused and
said the amendment was not n part of the
Constitution, and therefore not matter to
be certified from his office. Harvey then
had served upon Secretary Mcfarland an
original notice setting out that petition
would be on file Immediately in the District
Court. asking for a writ Of mandamus
against the Secretary. compelling him to
certify as demanded. Secretary Mcfarland
will take steps to make defense in the

Lincoln went to pieces and then he set upon
ThOrne as likely man TO pluck. Thorne
