THE ERIE RAILROAD CASE.

THE E. & N E. RAILROAD Co. vs.. JOSEPH
CAsEY.--IR the Supreme COurt.--The Erie and
North East Railroad was chartered on the 18th
Of April, 1912. The charter contained this
clause, ssthat if the said Company shall misuse
or abuse any of the privileges hereby granted,
the Legislature may resume the rights and
privileges granted to said Company" In
Scptember 1854, on a bill filed at the suit of
the Attorney General, the Supreme Court de-
cided that the company had made an unauthor-
lied and illegal location of their road in the
city of Erie, and at Uarbor Creek The Le-
gislature, at the close of the last session. pass
ed a bill repeating the charter and authorizing
the Governor TO appoint Commissioner to
take the charge and custody of the road, and
the proceeds to be deposited, and the road and
all the property to be at the further disposi-
ton of the Legislature.
The Goreyner approved this act on the 9th
of October, and appointed Mr.. Casey Commits
sioncr to take charge and custody. of the road.
Before actual possession was taken, the Com
pany applied to the Supreme Court for an in
junction against the Commonwealth alcdging,
1st. That the Act was unconstitutional.
I'd. That the forfeiture of the Charter, if any
had occurred, had been waived by the S,afe-

against the Company were not sufficient

which was almost Immediately reduced to
an insensible state. The removal of the

PUBLIC MEETING

A large and enthusiastic meeting Of the
citizens of Ncwhcrry, was held on Saturday
evening. the Gath inst, to take into con.
sideration the peculiar circumstances in
which our immediate Representative. Hon.
L. 5. Brooks is now placed.
On motion, Gen. James II. Williams was
called to the chair, and J. S. Rei'i appointed
Secretary. Gen. A. G. Darlington offered
the following preamble and resolution,
which he advocated in n very appropriate
speech:
Information has reached us that our I'M
mediate Representative in C"ngrcss, Hon.
L. ). Brooks, was on the 22d inst, pro-
voked TO administer severe chastiscuirut
to Charles Summer, Senator from Massa-
chusetts, who had been guilty Of Il vile
aud 'lastarlIy attack upon the Hon. A. p.
Butler during his absence. and of the most
nsornt abuse of the State of Snu,h Caro-
lima and people Of the South. Our Scna-
tors aud Representatives, i'll Congress have
tor series of years patiently submitted to
these ura;es Of caiunny and vitu1cration,
anu they have in vain attempted to meet
insults hy argument and reason. We are
not surprised therefore, that the spirit of
resentment should break forth into acts of
violence. Ordinarily we might not be
ready t" justify sucl, measures of redress,
mt the aggravated insults given by The
Senator from Massachusetts on the occasion
referred to, in keeping too with his uniform
conduct. furnsl, an ample justification of
our Representative. Therefore,
BE 1t una"imouSly Resolved, That this
meeting approves the conIuct Of the Hon.
IS. Brooks III the premises, and that il,
recommends thtt meetings he held on the
first Monday iii June next in the various
Districts constituting this Congressional
