Injunction Renewed against the Ten
neSsee Road.

LYNCHBURG, Va, Oct. 26.-The bill
heretofore filed and withdrawn in the
United States District Court for the East
ern District of Virginia was refiled yester-
day, praying an injunction to restrain the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad and Will
liam Mahoney, President, from carrying out
the provisions of an act of the Virginia
Legislature consolidating that road with the
Norfolk and Petersburg Road and the South
Side Road under the title of the Atlantic
and Mississippi Railroad, having its terrni-
nus at Norfolk, Va, and Bristol, Tenn;
and further that the Virginia and Tennes-
see Railroad be restrained from issuing any
bonds under the act of the Virginia Legis-
lature in furtherance of the interests of the
Atlantic and Mississippi Railroad, which act
is alleged to be unconstitutional; that they
be enjoined from negotiating loan for the
eight millions of bonds of this amount
which have been executed and are at
tempted TO be sold at a discount of twenty
five cents; and that the defendants be en-
ioined from the construction of the Cum
berland Gap Railroad, or in any way foster
ing the roads by the use Of the funds of the

BOUTWELL,
At the Confession Box.

Boston, Oct. 26.-Secretary Boutwell,
lectured here tonight on the present ques-
tions affecting the public prosperity. He
referred to the labor question, saying that
cooperation was the best way for the labor
ing men to obtain full justice. The land
question was one which required attention.
The evils which crept into it as regards
corporations should be remedied; so also of
the railroad system Of ira nsportation. Al
luding to the fact that, of the 40 merchant
vessels sailing between this country and
Europe, not one is under the American flag,
he deplored the humiliating spectacle which
was thus presented of allowing Great Brit
ain to take possession of the commerce of
the world. Speaking of the duties for
building ships, he said that to repeal those
duties would necessitate the removal Of du-
ties on other articles, and this the govern
ment cannot afford. We are looking to
specie payment. He argued against the
project of postponing the payment of the
debt, thinking it was better to grapple with
it now, and give the capitalists shrink rap
for endeayOring to shrink, as they some
times do, their real share of the burden.
