Judge Blatohford 10-day delivered an
elaborate•decisiofl, in the U: S. Circuit
Court, that:le case of Fisk 'against the
Union Fac l c Railroad was properly
within the juilsdiotion of the U. S. Court,
and should be removett there undar the
act of Congress • pitsselr,Tuly:27th, 1868.
This Wasthe, Bret and only ! case under
the statute, but the Judge cited the de
decision of Chief Justice Marshall, that
the removal of any ease could be Made
whenever a ' question arose during its
progress which was to be decided under
the Constitution and' laws of the United
States. Other decisions by Judges Nel
son and Washington, of similar purport,
were cited. I
"Any member of ireorporation," says
.Tudge Illatchford, "which la the creation
of an act of Congress, at the commence -
ment of a suit can, by petition, and com
plying with the statute requirements as
to bond, dm., Seek removal, and the State
Court must accept the security and pro
ceed no further with the snit. If the
State Court goes on, its whole proceed
ings are null and \ and all offensive
actions 'ef other parties against those
seeking removal are pure and naked
trespasses. Any writ of mandamus 'to
compel the removal of a case like this to
the United States Courts is unnecessary,
The case being here by. operation
of law, independent of any compliance
of State Court, the petition for removal
was regular ;in all respects. •The case
was properly made , out, and the State
Court, had ipso facto lost all,control over
the suit. The averment pf the defend

the leas of the: fhietree
to removal, and the case is now in the
United State Court, and any proceedings
upon it in she State Court are null - and
void. For the preservation Of that comity
which •should, obtain between the , two
Courts, no unnecessary orders would be
issued; but final judgment in a United
States Court must and will be enforced
on all parties
,coming. within its Innis
diction."
It is understood Derinfy Sheriff Moran,
who it is alleged permitted the escape of
George King, the convicted bond robber,
on the way to. Sing Sing, will be indicted
by the. Grand Jury, who now have his
case under consideration.
It is reps?rted S. N. Pike has purchased
