THE WISCONSIN RAILROAD LAW.

THE HEARING OF THE INJUNCTION CASE UNDER THE
POTTER LAVA DECISION on POINT OF LAW
VIRTUALLY AGAINST THE GOVERNMENTAL FOR-
MIDABLE ARRAY OF TALENT on BOTH SIDES.
CHICAGO, Aug. THE Supreme Court of
Wisconsin has engaged for several days In hearing
arguments and against the granting OF an injunction
against the Chicago and Northwestern and Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroads, to compel compliance with
the Potter law. Before to-day the questions and In
terected remarks OF the Court which has chosen TO
the case in familiar way, seemed TO indicate decision
favorable to the State, but this afternoon very
siderable point gained by the counsel for the rail
companies the Court virtually deciding that 1t has
original Jurisdiction Of application for injunc
ton. The ChefJustice interrupted Judge Dixon, who
speaking for the State the point OF jurisdiction,
and said that the Court willing to give its Judg

consent was obtained, and the decision was

This the first crumb OF comfort that had fallen to
the railway attorneys, but 1t a big one, aud gave
them hope. II did not, however dispiit Judge Dixon
who continued TO argue the with the Chief

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

The Chattanooga Commercial, OF
yesterday, contained letter from this
place, signed A Vot .r," in which the
writer makes mean, vindictive at.
tack upon this paper and its editors,
reiterating the silly falsehoods retaled
during the recent canvass about a
" ring" We have information that
the writer is one Frank Hyberger, for
the present, residing here. Although
he criticises letter written from this
place to a Loudon paper last week,
and to which we alluded yesterday, we
have no doubt that he is the author OF
that also. He found that in his letter
to Loudon he had made the impression
that Judge Houk and his friends were
responsible for the result Of the cleo
ton in this county, and he hastens to
explain in another paper, attacking his
first letter as having been written bv
an indiscreetand mistaken corresponds
ent
Now who is this pure o., virtuous l?'
and heightened 60 statesman that
feels himself called upon to save the
people of Knox county from the DOM
ination of an imaginary ring, aud
what has stirred up his fearful wrath
The people Of KnorrNle WhO know him
at all, kROO that lee belongs to q riHg,
and ,chat kind Of a ring it iSl The
reason why he cries out ring to
Republicans, Is because they have
not considered him of suffi-
cient Importance to consult him
about anything! Who is he that he
feels such a deep interest in the people
Of Knox county? But for the fact that
he accidentally got to be Governor
Seniors private secretary he would
never have been heard of, and but for
the additional fact that he was some
time ago appointed to an office under
the Southern Claims Commission, he
would not, perhaps, be here to-
day. The character of this man
is such that his accusations do not de-
mand any notice at our hands, and we
now allude to his letter only to show
from what source this cry about rings"
proceeds
As an indication of his political
standing, we have only to state that
in the late canvass he rode over the
county with Charles H. Flournoy, and
furnished the false report and misrep~
Of Mr.. Maynard's Thorn
Grove speech AS published in the
Press and Herald. Isn't he beauti.
'ul pink of consistency to be talking
about incompetent Republican
leaders ~ He has been writing letters
all over the State with view of stir
ring up discord in the Republican
ranks in this Congressional district,
knowing that this is the only way to
oring himself into notice.

TIE REAL ISSUES.

The Nashville Banner is correct
when it says:
The big question with this COM
munity in The pending canvass is re-
trenchment. Not merely white
mans government, but a white mans
economical gOvernment-the suppress
sion of the wasteful extravagauces of
government, the hawking of offices /:
! the slate-makers monopoly of official
| glory and perquisites, and the re-estab-
lishment of the principle that the of
| fees were created for the people, and
| We need Ia first class, practical, bust
ness Legislature"
But that is exactly what the Nash
vile Union aud american and the
smaller fry of "close corporation or
gans do not want, therefore they cry
white mans party" and "Civil
Rights Bill - and lie about it to blind
the people.
Both parties and every paper in the
State opposes the Civil Rights Bill.
There is no division of sentiment
upon this issue, but there is
very large portion of sensible people
who do not propose to go crazy on the
subject, and lose sight of everything
else. A few months ago the people of
Tennessee were indignant over the
assessment law with its outrageous
provisions; over their heavy taxes
over the shameless sale of one of the
highest offices of the State for $4,000.
and over the general bad manage
ment of the State government. Dut
these are the issues the "close
corporation" want the people to
lose sight of, hence all their efforts
are directed to lash the public mind
into an excitement over "nigger equal
ity."
There are two questions now upper
most in the minds of the politicians,
and through their use of them the
people are likely to get another Legis-
lature that will be prolific of jobs, as
sessment laws, Hobbs transactions
&C., &c. If people in choosing legis-
lators Will look alone to the man who
can howl the loudest about the
Civil Rights Bill, or to whether he is
John c. Brown man or
an Andrew johnson man for
the Senate, they will get just such
Legislature as the politicians want.
If they want a body of men who will
reform notorious abuses, repeal bad
laws. cut up by the roots all jobs and
enact laws to promote immigration and
industrial enterprises, they will select
the best men in their counties and trust
to their judgment to elect fit man
for Senator. AS to the Civil Rights Bill,
no man they could send to Congress
with the public sentiment on that sub
Ject before him could vote for it, and
none would.
