Mr. HARRIS. I move to proceed to the consideration of Senate bill No. 406. It was objected to yesterday, but it is very important that it should be passed at this session. It will take but a moment. The motion was agreed to; and the bill (S.No.406) for the removal of causes in certain cases from State courts was considered as in ComWhole. It provides that if in any suit already commenced, or that may hereafter be commenced, in any State court against an alien, or by a citizen of the Statein which the suit is brought against a citizen of another State, and the matter in dispute exceeds the sum of $500, exclusive of costs, it to be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that a citizen of the State in which the suit is brought is or shall be a defendant, and if the suit so far as relates to the alien defendant or to the defendant who is the citizen of a State other than that in which the suit is brought, is or has been instituted or prose cutei for the purpose of restraining or enjoining him, or i the suit is one in which there can be a final determination of the controversy, so far as it concerns him, without the presence of the other defendants as parties in the cause, then and in every such case the alien defendant, or the defendant who is a citizen of a State other than that in which the suit is brought, may, at any time before the trial or final hearing of the cause, file a petition for the removal of the cause as against him into the next circuit court of the U.S. to be held in the district where the suit is pending, and offer good and sufficient surety for his entering in such court, on the 1st day of its session, copies of the recess against him, and of all pleadings, ceedings in the cause ulfecting 0r concerning him, and also for his thcre appearing and entering special bail in the cause, if special bail was originall requisite therein; and it is thereupon to e the duty of the State court to accept the security and proceed no further in the cause as a.iinst the defendant so applying for its remova; and any bail that may have been originally taken is to be discharged, and the co ies being entered in such court of the U.S. the cause shall there proceed in the same manner as if it had been brought there by Original process against the defendant who shall have so filed a ctition for its removal. Any attachment of tfie goods or estate of the defendant by the original process shall hold the goods or estate so attached to answer the final Judgment, in the same manner as by the laws of the State they would have been holden to answer final judgment had it been rendered by the court in which the suit commenced; and any injunction granted before the removal of the cause against the defendant applying for its removal shall continue in force until modified ordissolved by the U.S. court into which the cause shall be removed; and any bond ofindemnity or other obligation given by the plaintiff upon the issuing or grant "1% of any attachment, writ of injunction, or other restraining process against the defendant petitioning for the remove. of the cause, shall also continue in full force and may be prose cuted by the defendant and made available for his indemnity in case the attachment, injunction, or other restraining process be set aside or dissolved, or judgment e rendered in his favor, in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if such injunction, attach ment, or restrainin process had been granted, and such bond had been originally filed or given in the court to which the cause is removed. The removal of the cause. as against the defendant petitioning therefor, into the U.S. court shall not be deemed to prejudice or take away the right of the plaintiff to proceed at the same time with the suit in the State court as against the other defendants, if he shall desire to do so. Copies of all pleadin s filed or entered in the U.S. court fiy the defend “‘1 all lymg for the removal of the case, shall have e same force and offset in every respect cpositions, testimony, and other pro and forever purpose as the original leadin would have aid if; the laws andglractibe of th: courts of the State if the cause ad remained in the State court.
