IMPORTANT APPLICATION FOR In
JUNCTIoN.-A bill in equity was filed this
morning in the United States Circuit Court
Office of this city by James 4. Tyson, of
Baltimore, praying for an injunction re-
straining VIM. Malone presdent) and
other officers of the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad company from further prosecution
of consolidating the Virginia and Tennessee
road with the several others composing the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad, and
also restraining the borrowing of further
sums of money for the prosecution Of said
work.
The bill claims that the act of consolida-
ton is unconstitutional, both under the
State and Federal laws, and that the stock
of the private stockholders in the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad is being merged in
to the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio road
without their consent, thereby damaging
them greatly.
The bill also sets forth that Malone, as
president of the consolidated line, is now
negotiating for the loan of So 100000 for
the completion of the work, at seventy-five
cents on the dollar, rendering as security
the property and franchises of the roads en-
braced in the act of consolidation, including
the Virginia and Tennessee road.
The motion is set for hearing in this city,
by Judge Bond, on the Doth of this month.
The filing of this bill has created quite a
sensation in this city, among the friends and
opponents of Gen1 Malone and his pet
scheme.
Without knowing anything of the merits
of the case, we withhold comments until
further developments are made.
The move is an important one in many
respects, and looks as if Baltimore is try
ing to have hand in Virginia railroad mat
ters. 1t is possible the Lynchburg and
Danville and Valley railroads are the insti-
gators of it.
This important law question has been en-
trusted to j. Dean Smith, Esq, counsel for
the plaintiffs.
The order of Judge Bond requires that a
copy of the bill shall be served OH General
Malone or some officer of the road at
Lynchburg, by October the 10th.

Interesting to Tobacco Manufacturers.
Washington, September 30.-Officers of
the internal revenue, including Supervisor
Presbrey, have been recently in Virginia in
consultation with the tobacco manufacture
ers of Richmond and other cities, con-
corning the various complaints which have
been made to the Department, of injury to
the trade by violation of the internal re-
venue statutes, a subject which has long
engaged the attention of the Department.
No definite rule of conduct has yet been
determined upon by the internal revenue
officials, but it is understood that the man
ufacturers, with whom they have consulted,
will submit their views in writing to the
commissioner, who will give it earnest and
early consideration.
From these and other circumstances, it
appears probable that Mr.. Douglas, in his

KSocKED Dows-A DINNER SPOILED
The mother eta negro boy--a soldering
youth about fourteen years old-sought to
lodge complaint against a railroad man
yesterday for this that, whereas, she had
dispatched the aforesaid youth to the lcvec
equipped with dinner bucket in which
was slowed away her husbands midday
repast. The youth never goes abou, the
cars, never insults anybody-is little
mschievous and that Is all-at least the
doting mother says so. Now II the char
ac,er Of the youth is as here stated, why
did the great, muscular, railroad man
pi,eh upon him, hi, him blow In the
temple, knock him down and smash his
dinner buckle, into shapelcss mass Of TIM
fried bacon, hominy, ligh, bread and
onion,2 why, We ask, did he assail the
unohcnding youth
People who understand the eecentrioi.

gro boy wa. indulging in the luxury Of a
ride on the "cow-catcher' that ho was
playing the hazardous game Of "lle-down-

was found letting out the bowels Of u sack
IF oats under the delusion that he was
s,abbing "Kuklux,' or one Of those
creatures Of like bloody attributes, known
among darkies as medicine stagents -
bu, the fond mother says "No,' and the
mothers authority for saying No, Is the
boy himself. The question recurs then:
Why did the railroad man knock down
the boy and spoil that dinner? The knot
that raised itself on the boys temple, out
OF compliment TO the blow planted there,
might have been endured, but that outrage,
coupled with the smashing Of the dinner
bucket, and tho demolition Of the grub IL
contained, formed sum total Of indignity
and injury that may we'll rouse the resent
ment Of the doting mother, and cause tho
sable youth to treasure anger in his
heart, all the days Of bis life.

why then did Squire Shannessy hesitate
to g-at the writ? He didn't understand
the nature of an oath, it is true but he
avowed himself "mad at the man, and
who can doubt that in the classic language
