A decision involving very important principles
was rendered in the United States Circuit Court
this afternoon by Judge Drummond in the case OF

pany The telegraph company. accepting the act
OF Congress Of July a. 1866 entitled San act to
aid in erecting telegraph lines and secure to the
government the use OF the same for postal mill.
tary ana other purposes commenced the
construction OF line along the route Of
the Rock Island Railroad, between Chicago
and Omaha. The railroad company ordered the
telegraph company to desist alter lew poles
were set. Thcreupon the telegraph company ap-
phed to the United states Circuit Court for an in
junction restraining the railroad company from
interfering with the construction OF their lines,
claiming that, as the Rock Island Road carried
the United states mail, II was post road and came
under the provisions OF the act OF 1885,
=, Inc ralroaa l.I,, company was representen ny
GAINED bv tnem that the act IN question applied
only to roads traversing the public domain that
the right or way, which had been condemned and
purchased by the raiiroad company under State
laws, was the properly OF the railroad company,
and, under the NTH amendment to the Constitu-
ton, could not be taken without compensation.
Judge DruIhmond, in his decision, held that the

e.red TO such military and post roads OF the united
States as are owned or extensively controlled by
the government; that the act does not include
railroads which have been designated as post
routes by other acts OF Congress, over which the
government exercises no control, but simply con.
tracts for the carriage OF the mails OF the United
States that neither under the act OF 1865 nor un-
der any other act can Congress take or authorize
