rhn nIninncIion Granted.

,,,ho matter Of the application for an
,DinnctioD to restrain the City Council
trom coD,ummstiDg the subscriptions 10
mo Wheeling s Lake Eric Railroad and
Railroad Bridge, Judge MELvE an
nonnced his decision Saturday, awarding
the Injunction prayed for, Ills Honor
grants it on the ground that the subscFip-
TONS are forbidden by the eighth Sec
,ion of the 10Th article OF the State
Constitution, which prohibits an mu-
nicipsl corporation from making any
debt after Augusr %, 1872, which would
increase its Indebtedness to sum beyond
five per cent on It's tax basis. There is no
onpstion that these subscriptions, or
either, would igcreasOtthe debt Of this
cl,y beyond that figure; and the point OF
Judge MELyINs decision is that the con-
stitutional provision quoted applies d.
rectly to the municipality, and not to The
Legislature as the Railroad Complny's
counsel argued.
As we understand this injunction is but
temporary, and the case will in due time
proceed formally before His Honor to de-
termino whether it shall be made perpet-
ual. The Judge has argucdthe merits Of
the question in awarding the temporary
Injunction, alter hearing elaborate srgu'
ment and it will be seen lhatthc reasons
assigned by him for granting it are con-
elusive of the whole question and commit
Ills Honor in advance to perpetual in
junction, unless reasons should be brought
forward in the subsequent proceedings
which will upset the able and conclusive
reasoning on which the temporary in
junction WAS awarded,
Having long since expressed our belief
in the conclusions arrived at by Judge
MELVIN, We can but repeat our convic-
lion Of their correctness We will only
add that We believe the JUDGES action
will bring a feeling Of relief to IL large ma
jOrity Of our citizens and to none more
than TO some who have actively favored
making these subscriptions, but who are
now convinced that 1t would be iDiudi-
cious and injurious to the city to do SO,
and who would willingly sec these meas
ureS quietly disposed Of iu any way that
will not compromise themselves.

VERIFIED.-In his speech over at

that by proper culture two bales of cot

Some, in fact, many of his hearers,
doubted his statement Let them read
the annexed article, which We clip from

Tbos H. Sandidge. near Brownsville,
Kinds county, Miss, put sixteen one>
horse cart loads of a compost of scrap
ings of the cow-fot, cotton seed and de-
cayed vegetables from the bottom of a
pond, on one acre of land. When pre-
pairing the land to plant, he scattered
sixty bushels Ct green cotton seed along
the center furrow and bedded on them,
cultivating in the usual way. He plant
ed the common seed he had been using
, for eighteen years. Result The first
picking, which was finished on the l9th
Of September, POPS pounds, leaving at
least 1000 pounds to open by the next
picking The yield will be over two bales
| to the acre OF land at cost of extra la
! Dor and manure of not exceeding SIX or
seven dollars The surrounding land oil
the same kind (ordinary Kinds county
hill land) will make about half bale
/ without manure. With such examples
as the above coming every year under oul
observation, what folly to plaut fOul
acres to yield the same result We hear
much complaint about caterpillars, boil

poor farming makes poor land. Let ouI
| farmers put their farms in good coudi'
ton, and manure and cultivate properly
! 1t Is a well asserted fact that the ma

escapes much of the injury inflicted by
the aforesaid pests. Mr.. Sandidge'i
