Subatanco of tlio Hill Filed—A Postpone
ment «.r the Olie Probable.
Atlanta, December 1.—Tho newo of the
injunction granted by Judge JlcCny against
Ordinary Calhoun’* declaring nay result in
tho prohibition election, created a sensation
in Atlanta this morning. It put new life
into the dejected antis and almost paralysed
tho prohi>. Those who bet on the wet
side, early sou ght holders of their wagers and
received their warnings that no bets are to
lio paid until u final adjudication of the
election should be had. Tho prohis stag
gered nml startled, gathered in groups all
ores the city god consulted. The best legal
talent that oould be had was sccnrod to file
an answer to the injunction.
A eluting and dangerous plan was dis
cussed; it is to apply to Jndgo Marshall J.
Clarke, of tho Superior Court fora manda
mus to emuped the ordinary to declare the
result of tlie election us provided by the
Suite' , stutnt,. Should the ordinary de
cline in view of the United States Court
injunction, it is held that he could cither
bo punish. I by Jndgo Clarke for contempt
or impeached ujnl aptly removed.
However, the thorns in thin path seemed
too perilous, and u i far ns learned to-night,
for the present tho prohis will confine
themsvlvis to answering tho bill of the
antis.
The opinion of all hero is that Judge Mc-
Cay will sustain and continue the injunc
tion and that liquor will be sold in Atlanta
bar-rooms until the next Legislature shall

THE M. A N. GA.’S ACCEPTANCE
Of that awo.ooo Is Duly Filed In Hie Kv
ecutlve Department.
Atlanta, December 7.—The Mariettnand
North Georgia railroad has tiled with tho
Governor Rh acceptance of the settlement
between it and the State os provided in that
recent resolution of the Legislature which
S ave it abont $80,CIS). Tho requirement is
iat the road should file such acceptance
together with a detailed statement of the
arrangements made for completing the road
and for its equipment within tho time speci
fied. Should the sworn statement filed be
satisfactory to the Governor, he shall cause
the collection of interest on the bonds from
January 1, 1880, to September 1887, to be
suspended, provided that tho principal of
said bonds, and the interest to accrue on
the game, shall be nad remain, until paid or
suirendered ns provided, a valid and sub
sisting debt against said-company.
The Governor has ordored filed tho sworn
statements, which would aceiu to be an ac
ceptance by the Governor uf the satisfacto-
rinose of tho rood’s acceptance.
In regard to signing the resolution, the
Governor says he gave Judge David B. Har
rell’s argument, as it appeared in print, duo
consideration, in a long consultation with
the Attorney General, whose advice was,
that the resolution is constitutional. Gov
ernor McDaniel did not understand
Judge Harrell’s note to mean that
he desired to bo heard orally,
his published argument was very elabo
rate. Fully four hours* consideration was
given to the bill by both the Governor and
Attorney-General Anderson before it was
approved.
It is said here to-day that an effort will be
made to make the State a party to the
defease in the injunction against the pres
ent management of the road, which will be

TUB MARIETTA HOAD IN TROUBLE.
A Receiver Askeit For—Tlint Gift by the
State of two,000.
Atlanta, December fi.—On Wednesday
last, nt Marietta, Judgo Fain granted a tem
porary injunction until December 22,
against the management of the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad. The bill asking
tho injunction, also oaks for a receiver to
be appointed. It woa filed by a number of
the old stockholders.
Tbe leading point in the bill is the charge
that Kinney A Eger made a contract for the
completion of the rood, their compensation
to bo in stock, and that after
working awhile nnder this contract
they obtained stock enough to con
trol the corporation, and that then a
hoard of directors friendly to Kinney A
Eger released Kinney A Eger, and made n
now contact “itu Eger, by which he woa to
receive bonds instead of stock tor the com
pletion of the road.
The defense is ihet th* original contract
with Kinuoy A Eger was not to complete
the load, but to work upon it for lire
months, and that the contract on its fsoo
declares that it is aimply a temporary con
tract, and the second contract, nnder which
Eger is working, was approved by the board
of directors and approved at a meeting of
the storkholdere, at which most of these
stockholders wero present, nnd nearly all
of the stock was voted in tavor of the con
tract.
It will be remembered that the State had
a claim against this road for abont $80,000,
including interest, and that at the last Isrgis-
latnre a bill woaiiassed remitting the State's
entire claim. Jtnlge David B. Harrell, of
Webster, fought the bilL When it passed
he notified the Governor that he should
like to bo heard on the unconstitutionaUty
of the bill; but his Excellency signed the
bill, it ia said, th* very night after its
pannage, and notification of bis sclion sent
to the Honso the next morning. Subse
quently Judge Harrell introduced a bill re
pealing the former bill, but the repeal bill
failed to pans. It was understood that the
North Georgia members, or some of them,
lud joined forces with the railroad men who
wero trying to abolish or amend the Rail
road Commission law, and that by that com
bination the hill remitting the $80,090
was passed. It was reported that there was
THE REPUDIATED BONDS.
A Cane lleurlng oil tlio Matter to be Argued
lu January.
Atlanta, December 7.—It now really
looks os if the repudiated bonds of Georgia
—whether repudiated os illegal or unjust-
will yet the paid. In talking to a gentle
man recently from Washington, D. 0., ho
said: •
‘•Speaking of tho bond question, there
will come up in January for argument in
the United States Conrt of Claims nt Wash
ington, a case brought by Prussian subjects
against the United States, which will test
tue legality of tbe first indorsed bonds of
the Brunswick and Albany railroad,
signed by Dr. Angler • as treasurer
of the State of Georgia, on the grounds that
at tbe time the act was passed, in 1809, and
in 1870, when the bonds were issued and
sold to parties in Europe, the State of Geor
gia waa under n provisional government,
and her affairs administered by officers ap
pointed by the Unite'd States. Bullock
himself was appointed provisional Governor
by military order of Qenerol Meade, and
the Legislature sworn in by Judge Erskinc,
a United States judge. This is on the line
of the Into Bon HiU’a opinion, frequently
expressed, that the bonds issued by tins
Southern States during reconstruction days
should he paid by tue Federal govern
ment."
Of course the international phase of the
contest will greatly favor the payment of
those particular bonds, and it will
g ve an impetus and standing to

Atlanta, December 7.—Mr. L. B. Henry,
who filled the position of telegmph oper
ator, poatmaater and agent of the Georgia
Pacific road at Chattahoochee, waa arrested
by Sheriff Perkenon to-day for shortage.
Yeaterday Henry wrote Manager Bage that
he waa about $1,000 behind. Mr. Bage and
tihoriff Perketnou went oat to-day on an
engiue and examined his hooka. Henry
waa found to bo about $1,200 short. He
turned over $3B0 eaoh on hand of the road’a
money to Mr. Bage. He was brought in
town and token before Justice Tanner
this afternoon charged with larce
ny after troit. lie waived preliminary ex
amination, and iu default of a $£,000 Loud
was placed in jail.
Henry's statement is peculiar. He says
that he farniahed the missing money
from time to time to a dear friend
of hla who has a family to sup
port to aid him iu making up
a heavy shortage which he himself owed the
Georgia Pacific. Ills friend he says is
not in a condition to help him out of
his present trouble. He saysj too, that he
would serve for life in the peniten
tiary before he wonld expose the name of
his needy friend who was behind like him
self. Henry states, too, that he could give
bond, bnt will not jeapordize his friend by
so doing. He oaks to bo allowed to plead
Ruilty to-morrow to appropriating the
funds of the rood. He says that he has
no defense. He is a good-looking, intelli
gent, single man, about twenty-four years
old, and has a mother and sister living in
Virginia, lie will probably be taken before
the grand jury to-morrow.
that no opinions would be delivered to
morrow.

Dojnten Out or the Rare.
Atlanta, December 7.—The appointment
of Judge Boynton to succeed Judge Stewart
in the Flint circuit is creating considerable
goarip. It has certainly taken Judge Boyn
ton out of tbe way of Uovcrnot McDaniel«
e-qtirationa to succeed himself in the execu-
tive idfiee, for the Judge himself told me
that be would not be a candidate for Gov
ernor while he wae judge. Gov. McDaniel
Is doing all be can to win his re -
nomination and election. Ho i* a
good enough temperance man to suit the
most nltra prohibitionists; nnd it ia thought
he wiU have the backing of the railroads,
bese points, strengthened by Boynton’s
Ordinary Calhoun's declaring the result of
the prohibition election. The prohibition
ist lawyers are anxious for the hearing, but
it is understood that owing to the forced
absence of Jndge Dawkins and CoL Albert
Cox. two of the leading attorneys for the
for the antis, nnd the former of whom ar
gued tho application for the temporary in
junction, the cue will be postponed for one
week. The dry men say they see no reason
for postponement, bnt the wet men say
t>-«i:i in no real hurry, an it will do any
time between now and next July to declare
tbe result, and besides, the necessary ab
sence of their counsel entities them to a
postponement.

Drift of tire Temperance Movement.
The Chicago University says tho mis
named “temperance" movement in America
is passing through an important stage of
evolvtion by which the wise among temper
ance workers are to be separated from tbe
unwise, the practical from the impractical,
tlio disinterested from tbe demagogical.
The latest step in this direction, our con
temporary continues, U the action of the
“Woman's Christian Temperance Union” at
its recent meeting in l'hiladelpbki, by
which, with overwhelming majorities, the
“union" denounced all forma of license or
taxation of intoxicating liquors, indorsed the
“third party movement (in politics and de
clared itself in favor ot female suffrage. A
protest was presented by the more judicious
delegates, baaed on the grounds that the ac
tion would change the character of the or
ganization by making it political instead of
moral, and that it would convert its national
organ into ■ partisan sheet. The resolu
tions, however, were carried with a ni-h.
“We marvel greatly," says the University,
“that while they were in the brnduvsi tliia

warmth to tho boil, which has been thor
oughly renovated xinco lust spring, while n

Here and there groups 'of members stood
chatting and laughing, political animosities
being set to one eide for once, while now
member* took advantage of tlio occasion to
extend their acquaintance among their
older and more experienced colleugnex.
Apart from the exchange of oonlial
greetings, tho chief topic of conversation wax
the preqioxed change of the rules. Tho gal-
lerics, as is usual upon tho opening day of a
session of Congress, were crowitad, with
the exception of the executive gallery, w hich
only partially tilled. A majority of tho
xpi etatorx were ladies. At precisely noon
tho House waa called to order by J. il.
Clark, its clerk, and the first aeiaion uf the
Forty-ninth Congress began. When order
■ secured, tho clerk proceeded
call the roll ot membere-
clect. When tho State of Nebraska was
reached the clerk stated that he th doubt
ful whether tlie certificates received from
that State fully complied with tho law, bnt
as they w ere identical with those rood in
the Forty-seventh nnd Forty-eighth Con-
grasses nnd as there was no protest or con
test, ho had placed the names of the gentle
men whose electiou was thus certified up
tbe rolls.
While the roll vail wan in progress a page
walked down the centre aide bearing iu hla
arms a huge floral design, representing a
section of a canal navigated by a canal
boat, laden with diminutive bags ot grain,
tho whole marked “Hennepin." Aa ha
placed it on the desk of Mr. Murphy, of
Iowa, tils special champion of the Hennepin
canal project, the House broke out into ap
plause and laughter.
The call disclosed the presence of 320
members, tbe only absentees being Messrs.
Miller of New York, Henderson of North
Carolina, Aiken ot South Carolina, Crane of
Texas and Crafton of Virginia.
