ANTI -BRECKINRIDGE MOVE DEFEATED.

overtures from other bodies and pray
ed that the assembly recognize in Breck-

home the state. and society at large. On
motion of Rev. &. T. Kyle, the memorial
was tabled Immediately. Its purport was
understood without its being read through.
Among the fifty overtures was one from

which ended in their conviction. To-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock the Coxey-
ties Will be brought up before Judge
Miller for sentence the Judge having now
received his commission.
The concluding argument on the appli-
cation for the writ began at o'clock
and ended an hour later. District-Attor-
ney Birney appeared for the Govern
ment, and Congressman Hudson, of
Kansas. and Andrew A. Lipscomb, of this
city, for the Coxeytes. Mr.. Birney op-
posed the granting OF the writ on the
ground that the court had no authority
TO grant II. Mr.. Hudson contended that
the Police Court was q tribunal inferior
10 Judge Bradley's Court and Mr.. Lips
comb held that the law governing the
use Of the Capitol grounds which the
Commonwealers were convicted, was un-
constitutional. because II delegated the
power Of suspension to others than the
members Of Congress.
Judge Bradley in his decision said that
it was not within his jurisdiction TO
consider allegations of errors made in
the lower court.
Prosecution in the Police Court, X
seems" said the Court. should be on
the oath OF the party instituting the pro-
secution and not at all on the oath OF
the prosecuting officer. The question OF
unconsth hutfonality Of the act appears
to me ludicrous-almost absurd. The
rights Of the people 10 peaceably assemble
and petition Congress Is subordinate to
the rights of the people in general. II is
not n right allowing any individual or
individuals 70 override others; not one
that would enable the people to assemble
I'm the houses Of Congress. With such a
right all the tramps Of the country with
all the vermin Of the country. would be
allowed to come and take possession OF
either House Of Congress. | have digni-
fled this argument, It seems TO me, by
too much reference to It. on the whole.

made out as would justify the Court in
exercising jurisdiction. The defendants

Nothing now remains 10 the men but

tion commission to-day, will probably sem
