the United States court today overruled
the demurrer of the defendants, which
brought into question the jurisdiction of
the Federal court. Judge Evans held
that Congress passed Section 5501 Of the
United States Statutes to protect the
colored people in their right of suffrage,
and that 550S was passed to prevent
persons from conspiring TO injure and
Cypress. thus insuring this class of
voters the free exercise of their right
of franchise; that Congress had the pow
er TO pass such laws as the only guaran-
tee of liberty and that it was the duty
of the court to see that the provision of
the statutes were enforced.
He held that if Congress had no pow
er to protect the colored people against
intimidation. etc, then they were left ut
the mercy of the combinations of politi-
clans and brute force and that the fact
that the election was one at which only
officers of the State We're voted for did
not in any wise take away the jurisdic-
tion of the United States court to pro
tect the colored voters under the CON
st:tutional amendment and sections re-
ferred TO.

Marshall, the Republican Senators left

ognizing President Pro Tenn Carter, paid
no attention to the Republican proceed
ings and continued i'll session.
The Democratic Senate then adopted
motion by Senator Allen, of Lexington,
to ratify and Teaffilm the former action
of the Senate by which Goebel was de-
clarcd Governor. This prevailed ON
viva voce vote, nobody making a demand
fer the yeas and mays. Senator Triplett,
an Anti-Goebe Democrat voted with the
Democrats for the purpose OF making Il
quorum.

the action taken by the Democratic Sen
ators in their session today ratifylng their
former action by which Senator G0ebel

he looks upon these proceedings as illegal
and will not quit the light until the
whole matter is passed upon in the courts
of last resort.
His position is that the former plo--
ceedings being void, the ratification today
gives them no legal vitality, that the legal
presiding officer, Lieutenant Governor
Marshall, had declared the session ad-
icurned when the vote in question was
taken and that the vote should have
been taken by yeas and nays, as in the
case of bill or joint resolution. Nego-
tiations to settle the conflict between
Lieutenant Governor Marshall and Sena
tor Garter over the chair in the Senate
went on again this afternoon, but no
