Judge A. T. Roraback's Suit Settled

Judge A. T. Roraback's Suit Settled.
 On Tuesday last the suit of A. T. Rora. back vs the Penn. Company, the third trial of which was begun on Monday before Judge Perry in the court of Com- mon Pleas at Winsted, was settled by the defendant paying the plaintiff $500 the sum he sued for. The action was begun about two years ago for profess sional services, and has had an eventful history. On the first trial the plaintiff was successful. but a new trial was granted by the Conn. Supreme Court on technicality. The defendant then made an attempt to have the cause re- moved into the United States circuit court, on the ground that an impartial trial could uot be had in the State courts. This application was denied by Judge Wallace, the federal judge. from the United States Supreme court at Washington directing the US. cir cult court to try the case, but this writ was vacated by the Supreme court after hearing the arguments of both sides This decision of the U. s. Supreme court is very important as authoritively laying down the rule that no case can be removed from the State courts, to the United States courts, on the ground of local influence and preju- dice unless the matter in dispute ex- ceeds the value of $2.0OO. MT Justice Bradley wrote the opinion of the court. It is said that from 300 to 500 causes were remanded from the United States courts to the State conrts on the strength of this decision. Then came the mis.
 trial before Judge Bradstreet and now
 finally the cause is ended as above sta. | ted

The Noyes- Rockwell Case.
fBV telegraph 70 the Dispatch


WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 2l.--The first
speaker in the Noyes-Rockwell contested
election case in the House to-day was Mr.
DE Forrest. Of Connecticut. who support
ed the CLAIMS of the contestant. regretting,
however, that he would be obliged to cast
his vote to seat Republican and TO I'M
seat Democrat who had earned the es-
TEEN of his colleagues during his service
on the floor There was great deal OF
noise in the hall, and Dir. OEerrall put in
an emphatic protest against IL. Il do NOT
like" be said, ito make charges, but II
seems 10 me that there are some gentle
men on this floor who, whenever any one
is undressing the chair IN favor OF the ma
iority report, endeavor to divert attention
from his remarks by confusion and dis
order"
Mr.. Haugen. of Wisconsin, supported
tbe CLAIMS of the contestant, but very few
members honored him with their atten-
ton. His argument was purely technl-
cal and legal one and no politics were IN
iected into his remarks. But a question by
Mr.. Cochran, of New York. brought Ar:
OFerrall, of Virginia, to his feet, and
although the matter In dispute was
totally immaterlal one. and although the
language of both gentlemen was perfectly
parliamentary and courteous, there was
strong undercurrent OF warmth ID their
utterances.
Al the conclusion OF Mr.. Haugen's speech
Mr.. O'Ferrall gave notice that tomorrow,
after Mr.. Fellows. of New York, had closed
for the contestee, and he (Mr. OferraiD
had concluded the argument for the con-
testant he would demand the previous
question.
Mr.. Gillespie, of Pennsylvania, who
signed the minority report. spoke IN favor
of the sitting member. Mr.. Wilke, OF Hi
nois, argued in favor of the majority re-
port. His legal positions were disputed by
MIR. Wheeler. of Alabama, but MIR: Wilke
declining to yield. Mr.. Wheeler rushed to;
wards him, waving in the air calf-oound

Wheeler presented his authority, which

expressed the opinion yesterday that tbs
existing exclusion act would not expire
until 1884, He held that tho act expired
May 9Th proximo. Mr.. FELTON,, OF California,
shared Mr.. Dolph's view. but MIR. Mitchell,
OF Oregon. agreed with Mr.. sherman. A
dozen senators participated in the debate
which followed and occupied tue re-
msinder Of the days session.
Mr., sherman was the principal opponent
OF the bill. While he was speaking ho

sense OF the senate 20 refuse TO pass the
MIR. Wilson argued against the House
bill and contrasted its provisions with
those OF a bill passed by Congress in 1868
declaring expatriation the natural and IN
herent right of all people. The day after
the approval Of that act treaty was
signed between the United States and
China declaring the same principle. The
Emperor OF China had thus been the first
TO approve Of tho act OF 1868, aud that Is
the sovereign who was now picked out to
be given slap IN the face. such course
nifty OF a great nation.
Mr.. FELTON, asked what right Congress
bad, in the face of that law, TO pass the
contract-labor act aimed against honest
and expert men.
Dir. Wilson: We're you in favor Of that
act?
Mr. FELTON, was.
Mr.. Wilson: Then doubtless you can
give better reason for its passage than !
can. That act. however, was matter OF
regulation, while this is matter OF utter
exclusion. That is the difference.
hr. Butler contrasted the first section OF
the House bill with the first three articles
OF the treaty with China. Mr.. Mitchell re-
minded him that II the pending measure
was q violation Of the treaty so had been
the Scott exclusion act. The amendment
proposed by the Committee on Foreign Re
latioDs. Of which he was a member, would
continue in force for ten years. SO much
the worse for the amendment" said Mr..
Butler. and now that my attention 10
called TO il. think l shall vote against
that substitute The substitute IS harsh
enough, but the bill. as 1t came from the
House. is a disgrace to this country. That
Is my judgment deliberately"
Mr.. Chandler took the floor Mr.. Sher-
man proposed an arrangement by winch
the bill would be discussed tomorrow up
to o'clock. when vote upon it should
be taken. but objection was made by MIR.

ANARCHISTS eLATep.


PAms. April q. The outlook for MAY
Dag took on o new aspect to-day, which
giyes promise Affording the Anarchists and
other lawless characters an opportunity to
make trouble. The police threaten to
strike. Tho mir NeicieHae Steele in Its issue
of today publishes proclamation signed
By n number of policemen. IN which they
detail at length their grievances, ana
threaten TO strike on the eve OF May-Day
unless their wages are increased: :,
The Anarchists are in high .glee at this
development, and some OF the more en-,
thusiastic of them claim that it would
take little argument to induce many OF
the policemen to Join their ranks.
1t is hardly believed that any trouble
will occur with the police. On the con.
trary. 1t is thought some of the matters OK
which they complain will be corrected,
and that they will render their usual good
services on May-Day If they are called
upon to suppress disturbances. In any
event, no apprehension need be felt, for
the government has arranged for the pres
ence of military force IL Paris and the
immediate vicinity that will be strong
enough TO put down any outbreak short OF
a general revolution. The police are be
lieyed by many to have taken advantage OF
the feeling of uneasiness to make claims
that at any other time they would not
have thought OF.
