Tho assignment was without preference. It Ik reported that a bill of injunc tion will be filed in a few days at Chat tanooga to prevent the issuance of $150,000 in bonds by Hamilton coun ty for building a bridge across the Teiincsseo river, west of Hie city. The bridge was to cost over half a million dollars, b.y the Chattanooga Western Kailway Company, a syndicate hand ling largo sums of British money. Tho county court voted bonds last October to assist ill the enterprise. The crisis lias come in the Great Northern strike, and the company will from this hour play its hand with sternness. Judge Sanborn, of the Uni ted States court of appeal;, at St. Paul, Minn., 1ms grunted an injunc tion against the strikers in both Min nesota and North Dakota, and cited them to appear in his court on April 27lh to allow cause why “eachof them should not be enjoined and restrained from disabling or rendering in any wise unfit for convenient nnd immedi ate use any engines, oars or other property of the Great Northern Kail- road Company. BKCOMINQ MOItE FRA 11,R\A I,. Branches ot the Fresljyterlun Church Harmonizing. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says: In furtherance of the idea of eventful amalgamation between tho northern nnd southern churches, the North Ala bama Presbytery lias passed a resolu tion petitioning tho general assembly, soon to meet in Nashville, to appoint a standing committee on co-operation in homo mission v/oik to meet with a like committee of the northern assembly, in session at the same time in Sara toga. The northern and southern churches are already co-operating in the matter of foreign missions, and when tin's step is taken tho dividing line between tlio two churches will bn imaginary. Workingmen ut Wustilngtou. A delegation of Pennsylvania work ingmen, sixty-five strong, to protest Vanoe’s miexpirod term as senator from North Carolina moots with general commendation nt Washington. Tho members of tho North Carolina dele gation speak highly of Jarvis'ability. The general impression among North Carolina politicians is that, notwith standing the fact that Jarvis comes from the sanio part of the state as ltun- soin, in the western portion, his ap pointment will srrenglhen Ransom iu his rnce. The appointment will, how ever, doubtless give offenso to tbe west ern section, Vance’s old territory. Can Sit in tile Galleries. UnprcHcntativo Hnrmer, of Philadel phia, called on Borgoant ut-ArmaBriglit Friday,prior to the arrival of the Phil adelphia wage earners, to confer with him us to their reception at the capi tal. He said they came disclaiming any connection whatever with the Coxey movement, hut. as working men able to pay their own expenses, and desired to utter a protest against file passage of tho Wilson bill. Colonel Bright said they would ho treated just as any other American citizens visiting tile Capitol. Ho point ed out the law bearing upon invasion of {he capital grounds, which prohib its organizations of any kind march ing through them ns such, and said,un less overruled by higher authority, ho would see that tlio law was enforced in this respect, ns in all other eases com ing under his jurisdiction. He said, however, if they came iu a peaceable, orderly manner there would be no in terferenco with their privileges, and they would bo entitled to seats iu the senate galleries as long as they were not occupied. _ THE STATE SALOONS CLOSE.

Attorney General Buchanan, who is u member of the slate board of control, states that tho board will moot and order all dispensaries to be closed, in antici pation of such action, the employes of tlie state dispensary have been paid off and cheeks sent to creditors.

The league was composed of both democrats and republicans. There is a woman In Ohio who was one of the little girls in George Washington's funeral procession. She is Mrs. Priscilla Spooner. Mrs. Spooner recently celebrated her lUOth birthday. Declaring the Dispensary Law of tho State Unconstitutional. Tbe South Carolina state supremo court bus rendered its long expected decision declaring tbe dispensary law unconstitutional. The decision is vo luminous, being over twenty thousand words in length. It iH not unanimous, two of the judges decided nmiinst the law and one in favor of .if it. Chief .IiiKtice Mclver and Associate .lustico McGowan agree in pronouncing tlm act unconstitutional in practically all of its features. Associate Justice Pope dissents. In their elaborate opinion the ma jority of tho court decide the measure one to raise rovenuo and not a police regulation. The court takes up the entire question nnd declares both the old and the now law in their main features to be against the principles of Carolina’s governmont. The opinions of Judge Hudson, of tho court below, wore both affirmed. DETAILS OF THE DECISION. The court assorts,after reviewing the case, that in no view of it ran tho dis pensary not bo regarded hh a police regulation of the business of selling in toxicating liquors and if it could be, that such police power does not include the power on the part of tho sate to engngo iu carrying on such business. As to tlio revenue feature, it is held that, since tho legislative department, under tho general power of taxation conferred upon it, cannot impose any tax except for somo public purpose, upon the same principle it seems clear to the majority of the court that any act. of the legislature which is de signed to, or has tlio effect of, em barking the state in nuy trade which involves tho purchase and sale of any article of commerce for profit, is out side of, and altogether beyond, the legislative power conferred upon tho general assembly by tho constitution. A STATE CANNOT TRADE. “Trade,” says tho decision, “is not, nnd cannot properly bo regarded as one of the functions of government. It seems to us that the questions as to the right of the state to engage in any trade or business for the purpose of gain has been practically determined adversely to such right in the recent case of Mauldin vs. the city of Green ville.” The court is careful to say that, in the Chester case, it carefully avoided tlio consideration of any constitutional question holding tho act unconstitu tional. Tho court decides that it is unnecessary to consider the minor de tails of the law and reaffirms tho opin ion of Judge Hudson. THE TEST CASE. The case on which the supreme court rendered its decision is that of the cit izens of Darlington against tho Dar lington board of control. The boards of control have to do with tho liquor business exclusively, acting as a kind of board of managers. J. IT. Hudson, the judge of tho fourth judicial district, heard the case, and the board of control was enjoined from establishing a dispensary in Dar lington. Judge Y. J. Pope, elected to the supreme court, bench of the stato by aTillmanito legislature, imme(liato> ly suspended the injunction granted by Judgo Hudson until such time as tho supreme court could reach a decision. The other two members of the su preme court are Samuel McGowan and Ilenry Mclver, both old nnd highly respected judges. The case was argu ed January 29, and a decision was ex pected in a short time, but the whole state has been kept in suspense now for over a month. THE STATE WILL APPEAL. The state has already announced its determination to appeal to tho United States supreme court. WHAT TILLMAN SAYS. In speaking of tho matter to a press representative Governor Tillman said; "I haven't read it aud don’t k^.ow its scope yet. J have tried to enforce the law because it was law. The action of tho court makes it incumbent on me to take steps, as my judgment will dic tate, to protect the interests of the state and of the people. Tbe matter is not finished. I will do nothing for ♦ he present but appeal to the supremest court - the people! THE CASE CANNOT BE APPEALED. A Washington special says: The de cision of tho supreme court of South Carolina in declaring tho dispensary law unconstitutional created much ex citement at the capitol and was, as a rule, endorsed. Mr. Hoar, in response to an inquiry whether or not tho case would lie carried to the supreme court of tho United States, replied that thi/? could not he done. Had the decision been one upholding the constitution ality of the law, then, said Mr. Hoar, and appeal would be. .1 til*vis Approved. A Kuleigh special says: The com ments of the state press on the ap pointment of Senator Jarvis are gen ii idly extremely favorable. It is the gtmerul remark that Jarvis hat, thrown down tin gauntlet to Senator Hansom und has made a bold stroke. Railroads Change Hands. It is reliably stated ut Middlesboro, Ky., that the bonds of the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap und Louisville rail road have been transferred to the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, through Drexel, Morgan & Co., and that the system will take possession of tho road within thirty days. It is better to bo an April fool than a chronic one. NEWS OK THE SOUTH \ CONDliNSATION OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT NEWS ITEMS Wlilrli Will Ho Found of Spei'lul In terest to Our Renders.

KELLY’S ARMY Dislike the idea of Walking anil Steal a Train. A dispatch from Weston, la., states that “General” Kelly and ex-Congress- mnn Pusoy left that pltieo for Omaha on an early train Friday morning. Tho weather was severely cold and the ground covered with ice. Kelly spent tlie day in Omaha and Council Binds,’ endeavoring to securo railroad trans portation for his men. Ho rejected offers of Omaha sympathizers to send his command to Kansas City by steam boat down tlio Missouri river, and also ono to divido his men and send half, to Hi. Paul and the remainder to Bock Island. MABCIIEl) TO COIINflir, IlT.lIFl'S. A crowd of 3,000 laboring men marched from Omaha across tlio bridge to Council Bluffs for the purpose of coinpell ing tho custom railroads, by force if necessary, to furnish a train for Kelly’s army. By tho time it reached the center of tlie city of Coun cil Bluffs it had grown to 6,000 men aud forty or fifty women. The column had been preceded to Council Bluffs by a committco of prominent citizons, appointed previously at a meotiug of the Contrul Labor Union. Tho com mittee was to call on Gov. Jackson and the managers of the railroads, urging that the cominonwealoro be at once started on their way east. While the column was marching to wards the Missouri river General Kel ly was in Omaha, seated in the private car oi President St John, of the Rock island road, holding an inimated con ference. Mr. Ht. John said in re sponse to a request for a train that he wus not in a position to grunt it, oven should he desire to do so, as the mat ter w as now wholly in tho hands of the presidents of tho Iowa trunk lines, and that tho road could not grant a re quest for a trail! unless tlie presidents of all tho other roads agreed. General Kelly then left the ear anil called on other friends for advice. Meanwhile the railroads stopped the running of trains into und from Coun cil Bluff’s, and rail all ihoir rolling stock out of town. Tlie Omaha people got no more satisfaction out of the Council Bluffs railroad officials than Kelley did out of President St. Jolin. The roads are united in their deter mined stand not to furnish transpor tation for the romuioiiwcnlers unless paid for it. CAPTl'ltJJU THE CABS. The throng of workingmen eaptiiredn* a lot of cars uud engine for Kelly’s use, but when the train reached Wes ton, ton miles oast of Couucii Bluffs, Kelly refused to have anything to do with it, and it was returned to Council Bluffs.
