They said that was the. end of it. Justice Bradley did not go quite so lar as his associates He said the State could correct s wrongful act if provision had been made by the State to do it, and not otherwise. The debate in conference was exceedingly able.

The Louisiana question presents some very dinnrent issues, and mam Democrats are hopeful of a righteous deci-ion There is little hope now that Honda will be counted for Tilden though it is barely possible Justice Bradley may recoil from doing the work of Morton and herman.
