Judicial Removal Act Constitutional

Nashville, Aug. S.-A special to the
Banner from Jackson, Tenn, says:
Three long able opinions were de-
livered, one by Justice McAlister, hold
ing the abolishing act valid and con-
stitutional In this opinion Justices
Caldwell and Wilkes concurTed, Chief
Justice Snodgrass and Judge Beard
dissenting.
T The removal resolutions were held
invalid, all the members of the court
concurring except Justice Wilkes, who
delivered and filed an exhaustive and
able dissent maintaining that the
causes stated in the resolution and no.
tice were such as the constitution
recognized.
The opinions were very full and dis
cussed all phases of the question in
volved.
The result is to sustain the action of
the Legislature in abolishing the courts
and thus removing the judges involved
but holding that the resolution of re-
moval must be for causes personal to
the Judge, and not for economic rea-
sons or grounds of public policy.
Chief Justice Snodgrass delivered a
minority opinion for himself and just
ice Beard, covering about 20, 900 words,
exhaustively reviewing the case in
volved and finally concluding the en-
tire act relative to abolishing the courts
as unconstitutional

There is to be more whipping of the

The new secretary Of war has been
asked to pass upon question Of law,
but he has not said that he will do SO,
Notwithstanding all the talk about that
being what he was taken into the cabi-
net to do. The question involved is
whether the secretary of war has a
right to authorize officers who are his
fOvorites, to draw specified sums, in
addition to their salary and regular al
lowances, to be used to maintain the
dignity of their positions. During
Ayers recent visit to Cuba, he au-
thorized Gen. Brook to draw $1,000
a year in addition to his pay as major
general; Gen. Ludlow, who made q
break lastweek bysuppressinga Cuban
newspaper, $4,000 year, in addition
to his pay as brigadier general; Col.
Bliss, collector at Havana, SO, 900 in ad-
dition to his salary as colonel, and
Maj. Davis, sanitary officer at Havana,
1850, in addition to his salary as ma
ior, Alger directed that these allow
ances be made from Cuban revenues.
Only fayorites of Alger were author.
lied to draw this extra money, no such
authority being given to Gen. Fitz Lee,
Gen. Leonard Wood, and other officers
who would seem to have quite as much
dignity to maintain as the officers Oh
duty at Havana. 1t has been pointed
out to Secretary Root that Section 1865
of the revised statutes, which fixes the
pay OF army officers, contains this posi-
tive language: "No allowance shall
be made to officers in addition to theil
pay except as hereinafter provided.
The provisions referred to are for tn,
care of officers horses, the payment for
quarters, and for travel pay, but ther'
is no where a word about any allow
ance to maintain dignity 1t is yer,
clear that Alger exceeded his legal au
thority in making these allowances
but whether Secretary Root will sa,
so is a horse of quite another color.

Against the advice of experts, Secre-
tary Alger gave contract last year for
twenty-five Brown segmental wire
wound guns. They are now ready for
delivery, but will not be accepted, be-
cause when tested, one of them blew
out the breech and fractured its jacket,
under less than the required pressure,
If they had been ready for delivery be-
fore Alger went out, they would have
probably been accepted and paid for.
