of Indiana, touched on tho Turkish atro
cities In a brief but very energetic speech,
In which ho declared that tho resolution

Special to Evexixo 1Icrau.
P0TTSVII.1.K, Jan. 29. Judges Ikeler, of
Columbia county; Craig, of Caibou, and Dlir
good, of Lebanon, appointed by Governor
Hastlu2s to conduct the Lynn-Dunn election
contckt, arrived here to-day. The court did
not coiiveno until 2 o'clock, Judge Ikeler
being the Inst to put in an appearance.
Two weeks aso the court heard niguiiicnts
ottered by counsel for Judge Dunn to
quash tliu contest on the ground that
tho Orphans' Court Judge as a county
ollicc, "therefore tho proceedings was illegal ;
that the Act of May. 1871, under which the
contest wns brought, docs not apply to said
olllcc ; that it was tho duty of the Governor
to have appointed Judgo Cyius I,. Pershing
ono of the judges to hear tho contest ; that it
was a manifest disregard and omission uf Un
law not to havo done so, and that therefore
tho present cunimissiuu has no authority in
law. The counsel for Judge l.yon contended
that these same reasons had been argued
before the Attorney (iencr.il, and protested
against unnecessary delay. Tho couit set
to-day to render their decision in the matter.
Judge Ikeler, in a lengthy and aide opinion
this afternoon, decided that the commission
was legally formed; that it was the proper
tribunal bel'orc4whicli to conduct the con
test, and that tho motion to quash the con
test was overruled, and that the contest
should proceed.
