The following cases were mol
pressed: The State VS. Gilmore
Mellow for larceny; against
Thos Knight for violating the
dispensary law; against Adam
Kirkland for obtaining goods

tent to kill against Sam Boyd

more Mellow for malicious mis-
chief in cutting trees.
The grand jury made spe-
clal prescntmcnt against Philip
L Cauthcn, magistrate at Heath
Springs, with being implicated
in the stealing of J J. Bridges
cotton last fall, he having had
in his possession one bale of the
stolen cotton They also re-
commended that p. II Cauthen
be removed from his office and
H w Moblcy appointed to fill
the vacancy. On motion of the
solicitor, a certified copy of the
presentment was forwarded to
the governor, whose duty it will
be to carry out the recommen-
dations
AS we go to press the court is
engaged in the trial of the case
against Richard McManus on
the charge of murder.
The grand jury was dismissed
yesterday afternoon, and the
court will probably wind up

Frankfort, KY. April Judges Bur

curing in the courts having no iuris-
diction, dissented from the reasoning.
Judge Burnam's separate opinion
says:
1T is hard to imagine more
fragrant and partisan disregard of the
modes of procedure than is made
manifest by the facts alleged and re-
lied on by contestees and admitted by
demurrer. and l am firmly convinced,
from admitted facts. that the legisla-
ture, in the heat of anger engendered
by intense partisan excitement, has
done two faithful, conscientious and
able public servants an irreparable in.
jury in depriving them of the office
to which they were elected, and still
greater wrong to the large majority
of the electors who voted under diff.
cult circumstances to elect these serv.
ants.
But we are met at the threshold
with the contention that the courts
of the state, under the constitution.
have no power to 60 behind the legis.
Iative journal and review the judg-
ment of the assembly in the proceed
ings over which they are given by the
constitution exclusive jurisdiction, and
from whose determination of the
question nc appeal is provided. have
been led. with some reluctance. to the
conclusion. and not without some mis-
givings as to its correctness, that there
is no power in the courts of the state
to review the findings of the general
assembly in a contested election for
the offices of governor and lieutenant
governor, as shown by its only authen-
ticated records. Many questions have
been raised and discussed by counsel
for the appellants. but it will be un-
necessary to consider them in view of
the conclusion we have reached on this
fundamental question"
