Lamentable Spectacle .—It is
sincerely to be regretted that noth
ing bat recourse to the overpower
ing aid of the Federal Government
could give any hope of fair dealing in
the recent elections. Nothing short
of direct interpositon of United
States troops conld put Mr. Bovee
into an office, the Supreme Court* of
the State decreed him.
Nothing short of the mandate of
a United States Court can give any
hope of access to, or fair dealing
from a returning board. And all
this to Republicans and under a
Governor elected by Republicans,
in the interest of the enemies of
Republicanism.
«©"Tuesday evening, happening
in the vicinity of St. James Chapel,
wo were attracted inside by pecu
liar appearances. Twenty-five cents
took us in, and we discovered a
white foreground, a short flight of
etairs nearly in the centre of the
Church, surmounted by a magic
lantern, and looking round we saw
many familiar and happy faces. At
eight o'clock a series of dissolving
views were exhibited. The phan
tasmagoria was fine, and the power
of the magnifiers immense, and
some of the pictures were good,
and deserved explanation which
unhappily the exhibitor seemed un
able to give. Such entertainments
are good, and with the pleasure af
forded, much instruction can be
conveyed to the enquiring mind by
intelligent comment.

was thrown from the bench of his
court—Republicans robbed of their

J®~The telegraph confirms what
evöry sensible man was previously
convinced would take place. It
says "there are assurances from
nearly the highest authority that
the rulings of the Federal Courts

insanity supervene somewhere the
rulings of the Federal Court will be
quietly respected and obeyed.

MOBE COMPLICATIONS.
The Supreme Court has
cided the suspension of Secretary
of State Bovee (a constitutional
officer) by the Governor illegal
re-instated, Mr. Bovee. The
going Secretary waived the six
notice required and Mr. Bovee
plied to the lower Court (the Eight)
to be re-inetaUed, but Judge Elmore
refused on a technicality to cprry
out the Supreme Court decision.
Mr. Bovee declines to wait
expiration of the time and will
in, unless following out the "many
slip" between the cup and lip doc
trine a diminutive coup d'etat should
.... r •
still warn him off.
On Thursday he appointed Mr.
E. B. Mentz, Assistant Secretary,
and together with several friends
they went into the office and found
"Col. Jack" there. Mr. Bovee
claimed possession which was
fused. Two policemen'were found
at the entrance and no violence was
offered. Col. Badger and a squad
of police soon, howevér, appeared
on the scene. The Chief went into
the Governors office and soon
coming out, closed one of the en
trance doors to the Institute, and
went into the Secretaiy's officfe and
ordered out Mr. Bovee, his ap
pointees and friends: Mr. Bovee
refused to leave unless by force.
He exhibited the Supreme Court
decision, but Col. Badger informed
him that the Governor and " Col.
Jack " refused to recognize him as
Secretary of State, and he must
leave. Mr. B. still refusing, Col.
Badger repaired to the ante-room
of the Governor and ordered in the
squad who were seated there, and
the police simultaneously taking
hold of the coat of each alleged in
truder—led them out of the office,
and out of the building. '
Quito a crowd had beeu attracted
the neighborhood and freely dis
cussed the proceedings. No thin g
further occured then. I
The Supreme Court was applied
to and Judge Elmore, of the Eighth,
was ordered to show cause yester-1
day why he should not be punished
for contempt in refusing to carry
out its decision in the case. J
At the same time application to
~~~
riser " found" the Mechanic's Insti- i
tute occupied by United States |
troops.
At the proper hour, Mr. Bovee
and Mr. Mentz took quiet possession
of the office and entered on their
duties; the seal and papers of office
in his possession.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
The suit of Kellogg vs. Warmoth
in this court was closed on Wednes
day, and the court adjourned to
yesterday to decide on the case. The
masterly efforts of Messrs. Billings
andWm. H. Hunt in support of plain
tiff's claim were beyond ali compari
son, great. Grasping with fear
less hand the strongest positions of
their opponents, scrutinizing and
penetrating into the very depths of
their case, unfolding to the gaze ol
every intelligent beholder the abso
lute weakness of the defendants
cause, then complacently exhibfting
the innate strength and necessarily
triumphant attitude of their client,
the listening crowd rapt in admira
tion, forgot all reverence and burst
out in applause. We dare not
mangle the utterances of these gen
tlemen, and our columns do not
admit of reproducing their speeches
from the daily papers.
On the assembling of the Court
yesterday, Judge Durell delivered a
lengthly opinion perpetuating his
injunction, declaring that the New
Election Law cannot interfere with
the count under the old law, affirm
ing the jurisdiction of his Court in
the case, incidentally declaring Mr.
Kellogg eligible, recognizing the
old Returning Board. The per
emptory of the Court is that Gov
ernor Warmoth immediately turn
over all the returns and papers to
the old Board.

anxiety to cast a slur on a good
Republican and faithful officer, mis
sktes a recent occurrence. In
chronicling the entrance of the new

tbe Judges, with the exception of
Dibble, gave way gracefully to their

Judges who " gracefully " retired
being in sympathy and action iden

grace, entered, were manifestly no

they were applied to, whereas in
Judge Dibble's Court, his successor
possessed himself of the bench at
an unexpected moment, and then
forcibly expelled from the Court
room both Judge Dibble and Sheriff
Sauvinet, who endeavored to hold

himself on the side of humanity and

accord with his associates, he was
consistently laboring for the same
N. ends. The batteries of the Tribune
for twenty long years poured their
hot and heavy shot into the Sebas

our moulded the popular feeling and
sentiment of the Nation, in spite of
the combined effort of the opposi
tion press. He made his position
so useful, so honorable, and so
powerful that Horace Greeley's
opinions either expressed or formed
those of the North,
He was conse
quently venerated by his friends
and feared and hated by his
enemies.
The colored man is under per
petual obligation to Mr. Greeley, and
however we may lament the tan
gent at which he recently flew off,
the colored man must ever hold in
profound respect the memory of the
unselfish, patriotic, and stupendous
labors of the illustrious dead in his
behalf. The nution at large will do
the same; for Horace Greeley was
large-hearted whole-souled and ear

couutry and his people. The atten

of every class and condition, are
all evidences of the greatness and

dishonor, the sufferings of a down
