Ak ISJf-ScrIoS SUIT AGAINST THE WESTERN
ITs1os TELEGRAPH COMPANY PRAYED For
Sarurk, August 11.-An important case
has been in argument at this place for the
last two DAYS before Judge Woods, Of the
United States Circuit Court. The case is
between the Pensacola Telegraph Company
"a Florida corporation) aud the western
Union Telegraph Company on motion tor
an injunction on the part OF the pIalnt'f,
and heard there at Judge Woods's summer
residence by consent. The Western Union
Telegraph Company having begun the cree
ton of line in Pensacola Junction, IN Ala
bama, to Pensacola. the plaintiff sought an
Injunction to restrain the erection OIL the
line on the ground that the Legislature OF
Florida, in 1866, granted it the exclusive prl-
vilege OF maintaining a telegraph line IN the
county of which Pensacola is situated.
Counsel for the Western Union Telegraph
Company resisted the application upon vari.
Gus grounds, amongst them that the original
grant to the Pensacola Company was void,
under the existing constitution OF Florida
that the Western Union had right, under
the act of Congress of July 26,h, 1864, to
build telegraph lines everywhere on the post
roads of the United States, aud that the rail-
road upon which this line was TO be built,
and from which the right of way bad been
purchased. was post-road. Counsel for the
Pensacola Telegraph Company claimed that
the original charter, even il invalid by the
Florida Constitution of 1866, bad been en-
acted by the Constitution of 1868.
Judge Woods intimated his opinion that
the Florida legislation creating an exclusive
privilege in the Pensacola Telegraph Com
panv was free from objection under the Con
sttution of Florida, but in view OF the e1
istence of act of Congress OF July, loGo
upon the constitutonality OF which he dc
clined TO express an opinion on this prelmi
nary motion, he refused to grant the lnJnnc
ton.

CHARLEY ROSs-SISGULAR Co!SCtDESrES.-
Boston. August ,n.-'t,,.: attr; ..uil Zen.
niuuton, VI, to the ct:t45 -!..s i!tt.+ charley
Ross, the abducted Philadelphia :ouih, hAd
been found in that ,OHI, IS entirely 81
founded. Frederick Hamilton, the husband
of the woman who had the boy supposed to
he Charley, and who is now under arrest, is
in this CITY at Barnunl's llippodrome. He
received A telegram this forenoon announcing
his witc's arr,St. and the charge preferred
against her, and was Of course very much
annoyed.
In an interview with 4 correspondent this
afternoon he stated that the child in the pos
session OF his wife answers the description
of the Ross boy, but that it was adopted by
himself and wife on the first Of March last,
several months previous TO the abduction OF
the Philadelphia boy. In proof OF this state
mcnt he exhibits the proper adoption papcrS.
and his story is further supported by The
managers of the Hippodromc, who have en-
p!ovcd Hamilton for the past four years and
are personally familiar with the clrcum-
stances of the adoption.
The documents establishing the fact OF t.
Ultimate adoption have been forwarded to
Bennington this evening TO procure The re-
lease of Mrs. Hamilton. The child wa>
adopted in New York, and lis original name
was Charley Gross, fact which explains the
confounding OF his name with the Ross boy
when questioned by the Vermont officers.
Since his adoption Mr.. Hamilton says his
wife has tried to learn the boy to think his
name is Hamilton, and hence the story of the
little fellow that his new mother bad told
him that he must not say his name was Gross.
The real father of the boy is Il tin>mlth, and
works on Fourth avenue, in New York,
near the Hippodrome. Mrs. Hamilton WAS i
stranger in Bennington, and vas there on
visit to her grandmother when suspected
and arrested. Tne circumstances were all
singulsrly strong against the woman, but an
investigation will leave the Philadelphia mys'
terry unSOlYed.
