We were of the belief that Long nourished a chair over the head ot the young reporter, and raged like an angry lion. The Courier-Journal speaking of the affair closes Its article as follows: "It is regretted by both Mr. Long and the reporter in question. Wc should say in this connection that Mr. Long is quick-tempered, Is equally ready in geneio-lty, having ncted m this man ner quite handsomely.

IIakuii, Circuit .fudge. This is an action of assumpsit com menced In tlic Alexander county circuit court by Mary N. Mayo against S. Staats Taylor and Edwin Parsons, tiustees of the Cairo City Property. Tho deelara lion is based upon certain written con tracts alleged to have; been executed, jointly, by the defendant?. The damages claimed in tlic declaration .in $20,000. A summons was issued returnable to this, thu .September, teini of court, which was duly served upon S. Staats Taylor, one of the defendants and re turned "not found" as to the defendant-Parsons. A motion Wii made early in the term I by the defendant Taylor, for a contlnu- j auco "lor want of service on the co-de fendant Parsons." This motion was overruled by the court, and, on motion of the plaintiff, a rule was entered upon thu defendant Taylor to plead to thu declaration. Thereupon, the defendant Taylor tiled In the suit :i petition for thu removal of thu suit Into thu .circuit court of the United States for the Southern District of Illinois, and Hied therewith a bond, with good and sullleleut surety, condi tioned as required by law. It Is now claimed by the attorneys lor Taylor that the sulthuo longer pending in tills court; that, from the moment the clerk placed his file marks upon the petition and bond. co inxlanii, tills court was ousted of its jurisdiction, that it can make no further order In the case, and has no right under the law to examine tlie petition and bond tiled in the suit and pass upon the ques tion as to whether they nro in compli ance with thu act of congress. This ques tion, it is claimed, can bu passed upon only by the Federal court. It Is also claimed by tho attorneys for defendant Taylor that, oven admitting the right of this court to judge as to tho suthclciicy of the petition and bond, the petition and bond tiled In this suit are such as ilv tlie defendant Taylor Jthe right to have tho desired transfer. The question now before the court is as to tho present ulatui of this suit as to tho defendant Taylor. The determination of this question nec essarily requires a consideration of tho provisions of the act of congress of March Ilrd, 187"), and u discussion as to what is thu correct practice in the re moval ol suits, thereunder, from tho state court to the circuit court of tho l.'nltcd States. The judicial power ot the United Slates h conferred and limited by Arliile 111 of the Federal constitution, it extends, so far as it has application or claim of application tothis case, "to controver sies between citizens of ditl'erent States." Tho act of March ltd, 1875, Is not only a consolidation of all the several previ ous acts of congress upon tho subject o' the removal of cases from the State to the Federal courts, but Is an extension ol the jurisdiction of the circuit courts of the United States. This act is of so re cent u date that It has not, as yet, re ceived a fixed and settled judicial con struction. So far as 1 am advised, this case of Osgood vs. the C, D. & V. It. It. Co., ct ul in which two opinions were delivered by tho learned and distin guished dudgo Driimmond, is thu only case In which this act lias been Judi cially considered. in that case thu plaintiff tiled a bill in the. Will county circuit court iigaiust the railroad company, and certain other defendants to foreclose a mortgage. Thu court ordered an Injunction and up pointed receivers at the time thu hill was filed. Alter various other proceedings in the casu thu court udourned for the term. On the 3-.M day ot March, 1K75, lu vaca tion, petitions were filed lu tho eult, with the clerk of tho court, by thu railroad company and several other de fendant) asking for thu removal of the cao from thu Statu court to the circuit coin t of the United States for thu North ern District of Illinois, under tho net of congress of the. 'Id of March. 1875. Bonds were Med, conditioned as required by the act of congress. A transcript of tho record of thu suit In tho State court, duly certified by the clerk of tho Stato court, was llled lu thu circuit court of thu United States, on the 2flh of March. A motion was then made lu thu Federal court to dismiss and remand tlie suit on the ground Unit thu Federal court had no jurisdiction. lu his first opinion delivered In this case, .luilgo imiininond says, "tlie lan guage of that section (.-cetloii i! of thu ictot lS7r) Is peculiarly slgnlilcant a alleetlug the motion now before tho court. The copy of the record hns been llled in this court, and the law'ecms to Indicate under what circumstances only, in such an event, the ease would be re manded back to tho Stale court. It U when It shall appear to the (satisfaction of the Federal court that thu suit, docs not really and substantially Involve it dispute or controversy properly within the ju risdiction of tliu court, or that tlic par ties have been Improperly or colluslvely made, or joined, lor th" purpose of cre ating n case cognisable under the net. It Is true tlint the net prescribes the man. nerin which the removal shall be made, and flu! directions ot the law .ihould be compiled with. But the llfth section does uo authorize the court to remand ordiinIsthoc.iUH'. for the reason that It may appear that there was any Irregu larity In the means taken to procure the removal. The purpo.-e obviously was, if tlie record was tiled lu tlie Federal court under the law. and the court could sei that It had jurisdiction of the case. It should retain it, notwithstanding there might be delects in the inai.ncr ot re moval." Afterwards, upon a rc-arguinent before Druinuioud and.Blodgett, J. .!. a second opinion was delivered by .fudge Drum mono, in which ne says : "The tilth sec tion contains provisions which are new It I- true that in practice under previous laws, when a case came Into thu Fed eral court by removal lroin the State court, motions could be made to dismiss and remand the cause, but their dicMon depended upon general principles. Now the fifth section controls the action ol thu Fedir.il court both as to thudimUsnl and remanding of cases. It did not in lend the "tut should oc dismissed or re. manded on account of Irregularities, pro vlded It satisfactorily appeared that the court hail jurisdiction of thu cause. Here the only thing to which objection Is now made is as to the character ot tlie suit and the mint vf opportunity of tho Stale court, a- a court, to act or refuse to act. There Is no complaint made against tin Millleiency of the bond. It may be ad mitted there are dllllculties In any view we may lake of this pari of the rao' make nn Application fern removal?

Must It adjourn until "court lu cotirsu" and wait until after the next .fauuary term of the circuit court ot the United States for tlie Siuthern DMi iet of Illinois, in order that the Federal court may come to its a-slst-mice by remanding the several causes and puulhlug the relraetory litigants by compelling them to pay costsV It tho doctrine contended tor Is correct, what Is there to prevent such u result? II a reasonable construction can bu given to the act o cougresi and such construct ion docs not lead to neh ubsurdllli. ought not such "iea!onablecnnstniction" be the accepted construction? The circuit, court? of thN State have allium unlimited common law and chan cery Jurisdiction. Are the right. and Interests of the litigants in theau courts wholly worthless? A cltl.eit of this State sues another citizen ol this Slate. hi the Slate court, on it simple contract for a money demand. What power has congress to interfere with hi suit? What authority has the Circuit t otirt. of the United States to interfere with Ids suit? Where Is the constitutional provMon giv ing tlic power to congress? Where Is the act of congress giving jurisdiction to the Federal court ? In such cases, Is not the State court allowed to protect Its own litigant!.? Is It not allowed to protect it own lawful jurisdiction and cxercko the powers given to It and perform tliedutics required of it by the law of the land? I would take the correct, pr.ietleu to bo 1 this, tj..t the State court should ap prove of the bond and allow the removal of the cau'e. Any other practice would degenerate Into a farce, and hazard the rights and intere-ts of the cltl.eu in the hands of the unscrupulous and rcekles-, withou' tiny edcqii'itc remedy. If the patty applyh g for the transfer of tlie cause Is entitled to It under the law, the State com t will be bound to give It to hint. If the State court decide? er roneously, the evidence may bu preserved by a bill ol exceptions and the party ag grieved may have the question paed upon by the Supreme Court of the Stato and dually by the Supreme Court of tlie United States, or he may proceed mo c expeditiously under the seventh section tho cr:o lit v.lilrh th cause can bo re. rnotcd by our )i mora of the plalnllirs or defendant--- le ibau the whola "party." Is there hi lhl writ a controversy wholly between citizen of dlll'erent States' The tenth tectiou of chapter 110 ol thu Itevl-ed Statue of llllnolsprovldes, that if i summons or capias is served on one or more, but not on all of thu delend. nuts, thu plaintiff may proceed to trial and Judgment against the defendant or deleiidauls on whom the process Is sen-ed." Thu same section fill liter provides that "at any time altetwards" the plaiutill may have a new suit by "summons lu the nature utaeifejtielm" sgaiut thu defend ant not served. And thu twelfth section of the same chapter also gives to the plulntlll a ep. urate and original action against thu de fendant not served lu the first suit. Thus we see that the common law rule Is changed, and that under thu stat ute of Illinois thu plnlt'tlll" "iay, tit his or her election, only onu of thu defendants being belorc the court, proceed under the statute ngalut that one alone. In this ease the phdntitl', by resisting thu motion for a continuance "loi want of service on thu co-defendunt P.treon and by taking u rule on the defendant Taylor to plead to the declaration, and by her election announced In open court, has, as N averred In the letitton elected to proceed to trial and final Judg. inent ugalust Taylor alone.

In other words, the United Suites Circuit Court, whilo admitting the "defects" and "ir regularities," refused to dismiss on that aceount, holding that under the tilth sec tion It was only coinjietcnt to dismiss for the causes specified hi said section. Tho Federal court having thus decided, and having decided that thy petition mid bond were such as were required by the act of congress, la-tct disposed of thu whole matter before it. Is it the correct practice for the Statu court, in applications for the removal of suits under the act of 1S7., to act upon tlie petitions and bonds? It 5trlkes me forcibly that It is. Such a practice is consonant with the. practice prior to thuaetol March 3d, 1875. This act of congress should bu construed In tho light ot funnel- le'lslatlvu nud Judicial determinations. The act itself provides lu thu third sec tion that any person "entitled to remove any suit. ' who shall dcslru to remove such suit may mako ami tllu a petition in such suit in such Stato court ,f '" for thu removal of such suit r l ' ami shall maku and tile therewith a bond, with good and sulllel nt surety. 7 , Ihni Lr. U,r. ilulu nf ' the State fourt to accept tid petition and bond, and proccd no further In tuch suit." Why docs thu net require that the petition mid bond should be Med In the State court ? Why docs It not require them to be tiled lu tho Federal court and provide for it writ of certiorari to bo Issued, forthwith, to the State court? Docs not tho uiaudnto that the State court shall "accept said petition a ,d bond" imply that tho Statu court should taku souie action maku somti order? How otherwise, can thu court "accept the petition and bond V" When is It that thu court shall "proceed no further In such suit ?" If wo follow the natural order of thu oeveral mandates wo would say, "when It has accepted thu petition and bond." Again, this act of congress uppllcs only to those who are "entitled to remove a suit," and even they are required to tile such a petition us brings them within the purview of the act and to "tllo a bond with good und suQlclcut surety." Sup- posu that some philntifiordulcndant who is not "entitled to removu a Milt" should thu Statu court to make return of the rec ord, and may enforce said writ acoordlng to law. If thu ap plicant Is entitled to the. removal anil makes the proper application, any subse quent proceedings by the State court would be roiiM jvdit'e. Ample power Is given to the Federal court In this act to protect the legal rights of all who are entitled to call for Its assistance. And that too without de laying and endangering thu rights of lit igants whosu suits arc properly cogni zable In thu Statu court. I Even If wo mini t that thu Federal ! court should not, under section five of thu late act, remand a cau-u lor nieie "ir-! regularities" or "defects, in thu maimer! of removal," It docs not follow that this "Irregular" and "defective" practice is the correct practice. If petitions ami bonds for the rentota of cautcs are tiled In term time lu tilts court, thu court will insist upon ascer taining that thu applicants aru "entitled to thu removal" before It ceases to exer cise jurisdiction. If the petition and bond are tiled hi vacation and a copy ol thu rec ord llled lu the Federal Court, it would, upon motion, if lully satisfied that thu parly Ming tliu petition was not 'enti tled to thu removal" order the case to bu placed upon tho docket and proceed to trial therein as in other causcs. For If It was a suit hi which the applicant was not 'entitled to a removal" ol the can.!, then the act of l$7o would have no appli cation to tlie case, and thu jurisdiction of tlie,eausc,:uiiderilielawofthulaiid. would have remained all thu while lu tills court. The second point ol inquiry is this is this suit, as It now stands-, "a contro versy between citizens ol dltfyrcnt States?" is it cognizable lu the circuit court of thd United Mates?
