INJUNCTION Dissolved Our readers
will rejoice to learn that In the case of the Com
nonwealth VS.. the Virginia Mechanics Institute
Judge Meredith has dissolved the Injunction
'2alnst the pulling down of Lafayette Hall. to
axe erect on the payment by the city Of 5000 to
he credit Of the cause. 1t will be remembered
hat the City Council, in order 10 aid the Mechanics
institute in the erection of suitable halt in which
o carry on its primary and drawing schools ex
hanged the Lafayette Hall lot with the Institute
or one owned 10y it on eth street. On the 22d of
august, a committee of the Council delivered the
lot to the Institute, and four days after when
'ommittee OF the Institute we're about to have La
ayette Hall pulled down. they were stopped by ALI
Injunction sued out by the commander of the Fay
'tte Artillery, that company holding q claim t.
Jart Of the building because the State had given
900 to the city TO furnish gun room for that
company.
The effect of Judge Meredith's decision will be
20 require the City to pay back TO the State the
500 paid the city by her, the city having furnish
d rooms for the Artillery for several years for
Il that amount of money. If the Governor had
ne power, warm friend as he is of education ans
It the Mechanics Institute, we are sure that he
sould gladly receive the $500 and At once donate /.

the guns OF the Artillery Company can be bet
'er cared for in the State Armory than anywhere
i-c, and surely no more suitable place for them

nVasion or servile insurrection, would be less |
liable to fall into the hands of the enemy than il
